"Those foreign devils, sooner or later they will have to settle accounts with them..."

He took a 'shotgun' from the corpse of a Japanese soldier on the position, and while thinking about the sacrifices he had made along the way, the company commander who led the troops to attack couldn't help but curse loudly.

This time, Gao Wenshan commanded a full army, while the Japanese army guarding Pukou had only one wing. Considering the advantages of equipment and other aspects, it is not strange to take Pukou in one day, after all, the advantage of Gao Wenshan is indeed too great.

However, although Gao Wenshan finally took Pukou, it was impossible for him to put all the troops of a single army into Pukou, in fact, in addition to the hundreds of artillery pieces that were considered to be the whole army, in fact, the maximum strength of each attack was only one division.

However, the Japanese army in Pukou had a wing, plus the advantages of the location and fortifications, and the result was that although the Wehrmacht took Pukou in one day, in fact, their casualties were not small at all. Especially after the Japanese army began to pay attention to the role of equipment and was equipped with a considerable number of light and heavy machine guns and shotguns, although they had won the victory, the following regiment commanders in charge of the attack were a little distressed.

The company commander just now had at least a third of his brothers fall on the way to attack.

And as soon as they thought that the reason why there were so many more casualties was purely because of the British and the Americans behind the trouble, these officers could not help but be annoyed.

After all, if it weren't for the fact that the British and Americans provided the Japanese with a lot of weapons and equipment, they simply would not have had such large casualties.

On the other hand. Although only the last position remained, the Japanese soldiers on the position still resisted very stubbornly. It is only in the face of absolute superiority that this resistance is futile.

If it weren't for the fact that an order had already been given from above. Asking for a guarantee of the integrity of the command of the last position, I am afraid that this place has already been razed to the ground by the artillery units―――――― in fact at this time the artillery units are packing up and preparing to move on.

This is only one of the stops for Gaowen Mountain, and it is also a relatively previous stop, and it is far from the time of the final stop...

In this way, artillery as the most important part. Naturally, it is better to prepare early. After all, unlike infantry, artillery is very troublesome to move...

――――――――――――――――――――

As mentioned earlier, the resistance of the Japanese was simply pointless.

Although they resisted very stubbornly. There were even Japanese soldiers who rushed up with explosives and begged for their lives, but in the end the Wehrmacht still occupied this last position and swept away all the Japanese troops on the position.

And what the attacking troops also had to admire. In the course of the offensive. With the exception of a few wounded soldiers who were captured, the rest of the prisoners were almost non-existent. At the end of the day, the number of prisoners of the relatively intact kind was less than ten...

When a group of soldiers stormed Shochiku's headquarters, they saw Shochiku himself, who had been disemboweled, and several staff officers on the side.

"It's a pity..."

Looking at Shochiku himself, who was already lying on the ground, the officer who rushed into the headquarters said with some regret.

After rummaging through it and making sure that there was no flag of the Shochiku Wing, the officer was even more regretful.

I've been fighting with the Japanese for more than half a year. For such a long time, the Wehrmacht had not captured a single Japanese officer with the rank of Osa or above. Not a single military flag has been captured.

Normally, those high-ranking officers either cut themselves off when faced with a desperate situation, or find a way to break through, and then die directly on the battlefield. Most of those military flags were also like this, either burned by the Japanese themselves, or managed to break through, and basically none of them fell into the hands of the Wehrmacht, which is really the biggest regret of the Wehrmacht since the outbreak of the conflict.

Fortunately, there have been many such things, and the people of the Seventeenth Army are basically mentally prepared, so although there are some regrets, it will pass after a while.

At this time, after making a circle, a soldier ran up to the officer and said.

"Report to the battalion commander, no brazier was found, it seems that the little devil really ran away with the military flag..."

"Yes." Nodding slightly, the officer slowly walked over to Shochiku's corpse, and after looking at the headless corpse, the officer shook his head. "Run, run, run, anyway, this kind of thing has not happened a lot, what's more..."Saying this, the officer managed to pull out the knife that Shochiku used to cut the abdomen, although it was stained with blood, but the officer didn't care at all, just rubbed the blade on Shochiku's body a little casually.

After fighting for such a long time, I have already seen any scenes, so I naturally don't care about this small scene. "What's more, it's not completely fruitless, the adjutant's way is not bad..."

Although the people of the Wehrmacht generally look down on the Japanese, but they like the Japanese knife more, although Shochiku's knife can not be regarded as a Japanese sword, but as a collection is also good, not to mention that this is still his trophy on the battlefield, very commemorative, in the future, when he is old, he can also take it out and brag to his grandson, or even take it back to his son to play...

Thinking of this, the officer had already put the knife that had been wiped relatively clean, retracted the scabbard, and then held it in his hand―――――― this kind of thing is still relatively scarce in the army, if he didn't get it earlier, it's hard to say whether it will belong to him in the future...

――――――――――――――――――――

After learning that Pukou had been taken, Gao Wenshan, who was located in the rear, bowed his head slightly, expressing satisfaction.

Soon, under the order of Gauwin Mountain, except for the troops involved in the attack, they remained in place to rest, and all the remaining troops were drawn and continued to advance in the direction of Pyongyang. As for the task of tearing this hole wider, Gao Wenshan handed over this task to the troops in the rear...

Because the task given to Gao Wenshan by Feng Guozhang is very simple, that is, to keep moving forward and keep moving forward. Until it hits the headquarters of Utsunomiya Taro under the city of Pyongyang!

Of course, he was the only one who did this. There were several other troops, and the mission of the other unit was somewhat similar to that of Gao Wenshan, and they were also moving forward, but their target was Hamxing, which was located in the other direction.

How to say, if Pyongyang is a city located on the western side of the Korean Peninsula, then Hamhung is located on the eastern side of the Korean Peninsula. At the same time, from a certain point of view, Hamxing can also be said to be a port city―――――― if it is not considered. All boats that want to enter Hamhung need to walk many kilometers from the river before they can reach Hamhung...

Arguably. If Hamhung could be captured, and a series of strategic points along the way, the Wehrmacht would be able to move south from the river boundary to a 150-kilometre-long line through Guò. Completely cut the northeastern part of North Korea. Cut off the Japanese army in the northeast and several other areas.

Then the cutting troops were caught between the forces in Vladivostok and the north and south, and it was no longer possible for this area in the northeast of Korea to escape from the palm of the Wehrmacht...

After that, as long as the military operation on the Pyongyang side is also successful, then the war will be over, and unless Japan is willing to abandon these areas, even if the Nationalist government offers a high price, the Japanese will probably grit their teeth and agree.

Whether it is Yan Shaoyi or Gao Wenshan and others, they all believe that the Japanese will definitely agree. Because after the capture of the North. The Commune government could seize the south at any time. What's more, at this time, Japan's colonies were really few and pitiful. Except for a few islands in the Pacific that had been seized from the Germans, the only islands left were Taiwan and Korea.

From a certain point of view, Taiwan and North Korea can be said to be the most important colonies of Japan, especially Korea has been run by the Japanese for several years, and it is not as scarce as Taiwan, but the strategic location is very important, if North Korea is really lost, then...

Even the Japanese, I'm afraid, will not be able to withstand such losses ...

――――――――――――――――――――

On the other hand, after learning the news of the fall of Pokou, the Japanese in Pyongyang were already in chaos. The importance of Pukou is self-evident, and the reason why the front army has not paid attention to it in the past has always been true. On the one hand, because there are other places that are more important than Pukou, and on the other hand, because of neglect...

Now that Pukou has been suddenly captured, the headquarters is naturally in chaos, and the atmosphere of the entire headquarters is also extremely depressing.

Many high-ranking generals, including Utsunomiya Taro, stared at the sand table on the table one by one. At this moment, the position of Pukou, which was originally planted with the Japanese military flag on the sand table, has now been replaced by a Chinese red-bottomed dragon flag.

The seats slightly south of Pukou, as well as the two sides of Pukou, are occupied by three red-bottomed dragon flags. These three flags symbolize the 17th Army, which is continuing to move south, and the other two troops that are attacking on both sides in an attempt to continue to tear the gap apart...

Judging from the sand table, from Dandong to Jiangjie, and then to the border between Korea and the Outer Northeast, a long line of defense composed of the Japanese Rising Sun Flag is like a long embankment, and this change in Pukou is just a small anthill on the embankment.

But everyone here knows very well that if they don't want to find a way, then the long causeway they have carefully built for most of the past half a year is probably going to collapse on this small anthill...

However, despite the chatter and hype of many officers in the headquarters, no one can come up with an idea of how to plug this anthill...

Knock the Chinese out? This is simple, but the question is, where do the soldiers come from?

Nowadays, the pressure on each defense line is not small, and it is enough to transfer some troops, but if it is too much. Then I am afraid that the extra on this embankment will not only be an anthill, but will be poked into a plug.

But if you don't care, I'm afraid that soon the Chinese on the opposite side will pour in like a flood from this anthill, and by that time it will not be long before the entire causeway will be washed away, and by that time the Japanese army will face an absolutely catastrophic dilemma...

――――――――――――――――――――

In the eyes of outsiders, Utsunomiya Taro at this time was just staring at the sand table, but he couldn't come up with an idea for a long time. But in fact, Utsunomiya Taro has been scanning the officers in the room with his afterglow, judging which of them is a Chinese spy. Or ......... Spy isn't just one?

"Trouble..."Thinking so, Utsunomiya Taro sighed in his heart.

The Chinese are already difficult to deal with, but there are still Chinese within themselves. It made Utsunomiya Taro deal with the Chinese outside at the same time. Inside, you have to be careful to watch out for everyone...

Such a predicament really troubles Utsunomiya Taro.

However, he didn't dare to be careless at all, because according to the information provided by the intelligence agency, there were definitely Chinese spies in his headquarters, and if he really told the final plan, he would let the spy report back......... The sacrifice of the Shochiku United team was in vain. It's okay to do this, although I feel a little guilty in my heart, but as a superior. It is very common to sacrifice some chess pieces when necessary, not to mention that the sacrifice is only a wing―――――― if you ask Feng Guozhang about them, sacrificing a regiment can be exchanged for a victory in a battle. If they want to do it or not. Their answer was definitely yes.

Especially this kind of Cheng dù's 'armed conflict', let alone sacrificing a regiment, even if Feng Guozhang and them sacrifice a division, or even an army, I'm afraid they will not hesitate―――――― okay, maybe sacrifice an army or something, they may hesitate a little, but I believe they will still nod in the end.

Of course. After sacrificing an army, in the end, Feng Guozhang sought what they sought. But it's not just about stopping the war, it's about the whole of Korea...

On the other hand, just when Utsunomiya Taro was looking at the sand table on his face, he was actually thinking about who was the spy. There were indeed a few younger officers in the room, who seemed to be worried about the current form, but in their hearts, they were about to blossom...

That's right, these are naturally the spies of the Special Affairs Bureau who infiltrated the Korean Front, and the spies who infiltrated the Korean Front Headquarters by the Special Affairs Bureau are definitely not just one or two, but there are several...

Among these, the highest rank is already a lieutenant colonel, and the lowest one is also a captain. Moreover, he still holds the position of a staff officer, you must know that a staff officer in the Japanese army is not a vase, so the ordinary strategic deployment is not a secret to them at all...

However, before carrying out the infiltration mission, these spies have already taken the course of 'actor's self-cultivation', and their acting ability is absolutely seamless. So even though Utsunomiya Taro had been looking at everyone in the room with his spare eyes, he couldn't see anything at all, because all he saw was the worried expressions of everyone...

And Utsunomiya Taro himself, although he is also a relatively capable general in the Japanese army, obviously has not seen through the hearts of the people―――――― if there is, his position cannot be limited to this...

――――――――――――――――――――

Although Utsunomiya Taro wanted to try his best to find the gap hidden in his own interior, he also knew that this was something that could not be rushed, so he quickly refocused his attention on the sand table, seriously thinking about his true strategic intentions, looking for loopholes in it―――――― in the case that most of the staff officers in the headquarters needed to be suspicious, Utsunomiya Taro could trust, and there were too few people to rely on, so at this time he could only rely on himself...

After thinking about it so carefully for a long time, after making sure that there would be no problem with his plan, Utsunomiya Taro began to give his own orders...

On the other hand, after the breakthrough in Pukou, Feng Guozhang was also overjoyed, because it meant that his strategy was already half successful. Feng Guozhang, who didn't think that there would be a trap in it, quickly gave an order to Gao Wenshan, asking him to try his best to reach the city of Pyongyang regardless of a qiē, and as for the rest of the things, just leave them to the people behind his buttocks.

As a member of the Anhui family back then, Gao Wenshan has always considered himself to be Yan Shao's descendant, but although he has always been a little displeased with Feng Guozhang, this order is too bad for Gao Wenshan's temper. In addition, this was originally the original plan, so Gao Wenshan did not make any changes at all, and began to implement this plan.

Almost all the artillery and others were left behind, and only the infantry and armored troops rushed to the front.

Although there were some Japanese troops along the way, such a small number of Japanese troops could not pose any threat to the 17th Army of Gao Wenshan. Almost all of the resistance was defeated by the 17th Army.

In just one day, the 17th Army actually managed to run a distance of more than 80 kilometers. If we continue at this rate, we only need to come back for another day, and the 17th Army of Gaowen Mountain will be able to experience the arrival of soldiers in the city...

However, after learning of this situation, Utsunomiya Taro was unusual, and he did not have the slightest intention of being anxious in the headquarters, and even less did he know that at least one army was heading towards Pyongyang at this moment. And if you count the follow-up troops who followed behind the ass of Golwinsan, the Wehrmacht who came to Pyongyang is afraid that there are more than 100,000...

This abnormal reaction naturally made the people in the headquarters a little suspicious, and the spies who infiltrated had an ominous premonition in their hearts, but at this time, Utsunomiya Taro didn't seem to care at all. Because after going deeper than 80 kilometers, the 17th Army of Gao Wenshan and the troops behind him have completely penetrated into his trap, even if they know at this time, there is no second choice except to continue to move forward...

On the other hand, just when Utsunomiya Taro was proud in his heart, in Beijing in the distance, Yan Shao also ushered in a great news...

A piece of news that is even better for Yan Shao than the capture of Pyongyang...

He's going to be a dad again... (To be continued......)
