Jiangjie is the capital of Cigang Province in North Korea, and there have long been trade exchanges with Ji'an, after the Feng army crossed the Yalu River, Zhang Henian led the first division and swooped down on Jiangjie.

There were Japanese routs along the way, don't look at the Japanese in peacetime they are very fierce and tenacious, but in the face of sudden attacks, they were completely stunned. The Japanese are a very obedient people, even to the point of perversion. However, there is also a problem, because the upper echelons of Japan are unable to accept the reality that the Yalu River has been breached, and they are all in a panic for the time being, and they have no strategy at all, and the people below are even more confused.

The Japanese could only run away frantically, and the Feng army killed them with their buttocks, and the gunshots kept ringing out, and one by one the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground and were beaten into a sieve.

Just as night fell, Zhang Henian led his subordinates to finally rush to the river boundary. It was also a concentration point for the Japanese front, with more than 2,000 Japanese soldiers defending the city.

This point of people is nothing more than a piece of cake for the first division, Zhang Henian concentrated twelve 122-mm howitzers and launched a fierce bombardment of Jiangjie. The walls of the Koreans could not be compared with the walls of China, and they collapsed in pieces after just a few shots. The Feng army then poured into the city and carried out a massacre of the remaining Japanese soldiers.

In the face of a high-morale, firepower, and experienced opponent, the Japanese also turned into slaughtered lambs, and fought until midnight, except for a small number of escapees, the first division killed more than a thousand Japanese soldiers, and also captured four or five hundred people, which is also the largest number of prisoners since the beginning of the war.

Winning a good start, the whole army of the central line was also greatly encouraged, and the soldiers of the brigade also quickly crossed the pontoon bridge and set foot on Korean soil. Zhang Tingshu's tank division was no exception, roaring behemoths. Easily crossing the Yalu River, ready to show off their skills, Jiang Dengxuan and Sun Anhu personally sent a report to Fengtian, reported the situation to Zhang Tinglan, and asked for instructions on the next step.

"Report to the commander, our army has successfully crossed the Yalu River, and has now broken through into the DPRK 20 kilometers deep, and more than 17,000 soldiers have entered the territory of the DPRK, and the initial goal of the river-crossing operation has been completely achieved!"

Rong Zhen excitedly reported the situation to Zhang Tinglan, because in the process of marching into the northwest. The performance was outstanding, Rong Zhen's talent was affirmed by the top level of the Feng army, and he was transferred to the General Staff.

Zhang Tinglan heard his report. also showed joy: "I didn't expect the action to be so fast, it's really unexpected." What about the casualties? ”

"Report to the marshal. The losses of the 1st Division, which was tasked with the main attack, were less than 300 men, which can be said to be minimal. The main reason was that our campaign was sudden, the Japanese were defenseless at all, and they only had a large group of defenders, which were easily routed by us. ”

"Rong Zhen, do you think the Japanese Weishenme would be so negligent in the defense line of the Yalu River?"

"Report to the marshal. I think it's caused by their arrogance. Rong Zhen said without hesitation: "They are proud of their strength, thinking that only Japan can attack China, but we do not have the courage to fight back." But we did the opposite, and that is why we were able to achieve the victory we were able to achieve. ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled: "That's a good point. It's just that we only have the advantage now, and we haven't really won yet. You go and send a telegram to Sun Anhu and them, don't care about the gains and losses of the land, but focus on eliminating Japan's living liliang, really hurting and crippling Japan. Strive to eliminate one or two more divisions and completely shake the ruling order of the Japanese in Korea. ”

Rong Zhen heard Zhang Tinglan's order, and immediately knew the marshal's plan, sending troops to Korea was to burn the war to the outside line and force Japan to come to the table, not to seize land. Only by destroying more Japanese and making it clear to the Japanese that there is no hope of continuing to fight, can the goal be achieved.

Zhang Tinglan's order was issued in a very timely manner, and after the discussion of the people on the front line, they immediately determined the next combat strategy, several main divisions, plus cavalry troops, presented a fan shape, radiating to all sides, if they encountered a strong stronghold, they immediately detoured, did not require a strong attack, and fought to divide the Japanese garrison, and then seek an opportunity to annihilate.

For this battle, the most satisfying is Zhang Tingshu, cutting and outflanking is the strength of the armored division, so when the tank was transported to North Korea, Zhang Tingshu was ready to set off with a roar.

At this time, Yang Yuting took the initiative to find him: "Weijiu, there are many mountains and hills in Korea, if the armored forces want to exert the greatest effect, you must pay attention to the terrain, I suggest that you go south as soon as possible, capture the Guicheng line, Dingju line, cut off the connection between Pyongyang and Sinuiju, and strive to encircle and annihilate the 20th Division." ”

The direction Yang is referring to is the relatively flat southern region of North Korea, which is also the area with the most developed industry in North Korea and the largest number of Japanese troops and investments. Zhang Tingshu has long been familiar with the map of North Korea, and it is true that the direction pointed out by Yang Yuting is the only area in North Korea that is suitable for large-scale use of tanks.

"Chief of Staff, your vision is really poisonous, don't worry, I will definitely make the little devil look good!" Zhang Tingshu said with an oath.

Yang Yuting asked Wu Kaijie to lead the cavalry to follow Zhang Tingshu to move together, and together they formed a rapid assault group, which was inserted from north to south.

In addition, Jiang Dengxuan led the 3rd and 15th Divisions from Jiangjie and went straight to Xinpu. Sinpo is an important town on the northern side of the Korean Peninsula near the Sea of Japan, and there is a direct railway to Seoul.

The Feng army set up an attack battle formation, the troops quickly developed in depth, and one after another important towns fell into the hands of the Feng army, and the Japanese immediately became ants on a hot pot, anxious, but there was no way to save the situation.

Their setup on the Korean Peninsula is a bit like a dumbbell, and to the north is the 19th Division, which is fighting with the Bong army on the border between China and Russia and North Korea. Another important point is Sinuiju in the south, where the main force of the 20th Division is placed.

As for the vast area in the middle, the Japanese put in a pitiful number of troops, and they could not stop the Feng army at all, seeing that the Feng army was like a flood, and anyone who dared to stop it would be ruthlessly destroyed.

The current governor of North Korea is Admiral Minoru Saito, and when he gets the news that the Bong army has broken through the Yalu River and launched an attack on the Korean Peninsula, he was immediately stupefied. The old thing didn't want to believe it was true, but a succession of bad news came. I can't help but believe him.

Minoru Saito secretly estimated the Liliang in his hand, the Japanese army in Seoul was less than a brigade, and most of the brigades were Koreans, not only the combat effectiveness was worrying, but Saito couldn't believe them.

The Feng army is fierce, this is definitely not enough, although there is also a third division, but at this time this division is still in Busan, and a division may not be able to. The old thing immediately thought of asking Tokyo for help, but the princes of Tokyo were even more surprised than Saito. Especially Yoshiichi Tanaka. He did not believe that the Bong army would abandon Luda and attack North Korea, which was completely unreasonable.

The flames of war had already raged, and Tanaka was convinced that this was a trick by the Shina people in order to divert Japan's attention. But after the Jiangjie was captured. He's finally sober, yes! The Bong army was going to attack North Korea.

But I was aware of it. It's too late. The four main divisions were sent to the brigade university, and if they wanted to be transferred back, it was not only a big trouble, but also not enough time. The only way to do this is to mobilize troops from within the country, but other divisions and regiments have not yet completed their mobilization, and the shortage of war materials is also very large. It is not possible to move quickly to support the front line.

If you have the intention to kill the thief, you can't return to the sky! Tokyo was left with such a feeling, not only could they not send a little reinforcements. It is also necessary to ask Minoru Saito to use the liliang in his hand to hold on for seven days and wait for the arrival of the main Japanese force.

As soon as he heard the news, Minoru Saito almost vomited blood, these bureaucrats in Tokyo simply don't know the situation on the battlefield, the Feng army is advancing fast, if you wait for seven days, I am afraid that along the Yalu River, even Pyongyang will fall into the hands of the Feng army, so that the Korean Peninsula will be occupied by the Feng army.

After thinking about it, Saito had only one way, and that was to desperately withdraw the soldiers from the front line, rebuild the defensive line, and block the southward movement of the Feng army.

This idea is very good, but the implementation is not like this at all, it has already collapsed, and then the order to retreat is given, the fighting spirit of the soldiers is all gone, they only think about a quick escape, the retreat turns into a rout, the soldiers rush to the south, simply to the point of desperation.

In the face of the collapsed Japanese army, Jiang Dengxuan couldn't believe it at first, for fear that this was a pride of the Japanese, but he quickly figured out the situation. The so-called 19th and 20th Divisions were not all Japanese, and there were a large number of Koreans among them, that is, the so-called Korean Division.

These two devils are behind the Japanese, and if they fight a smooth battle, their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the first-line divisions, but when they encounter setbacks, these two devils are unreliable, especially since the Korean volunteer movement has just ended, and there is still a gap between the two sides. As soon as they saw the defeat of the Japanese, these Koreans secretly fled, and some simply took off their military uniforms and turned their heads to attack the Japanese.

Figuring out this situation, Jiang Dengxuan pursued even more unscrupulously. Minoru Saito's order also had a very bad result, which was to put the main force of the 19th Division into an unprecedented passivity.

Previously, the 19th Division had already captured Zhanggufeng and was developing in depth, but as a result, Qin Wei commanded the Feng army, from the direction of Tumen, to break through the Yalu River and plunge into their rear. Originally, it was a wing of the 20th Division that was in charge of guarding this aspect, and they were fighting to the death with the Feng army to buy time for the 19th Division.

As a result, after the retreat order was issued, this wing could only run away, Qin Wei led the army, as if entering a no-man's land, it only took less than two days to successfully occupy Luojin. At this time, the two main wings of the 19th Division, the 73rd and 74th Wings, had just crossed the Tumen River and wanted to withdraw to Seoul, but the back road was cut off, and they suddenly became lonely ghosts, and their situation was unprecedentedly bad.

The front and back are all the men and horses of the Feng army, they fell into the encirclement, Qin Wei is also overjoyed, although the Feng army has eliminated the sixth division, but it can be formed to eliminate a standing division, the impact on Japan is still huge, and it can show the strength of the Feng army to the world.

Everyone knows that the wounded beast is the most dangerous, and in this state, the 19th Division is also the easiest to fight hard, so it must be fully prepared. Qin Wei commanded the Seventh Division, laid out a dense defensive line in Luojin, and also collected tens of thousands of sticks for them to build roads and transport supplies.

Just when everything was almost ready, the 19th Division finally collided, they knew that there was a trap here, but they had no choice, this was the only way to survive, only by fighting to the death, could they have a chance.

From the very beginning, the battle was at a fever pitch, and after a brief artillery preparation, the Japanese shouted slogans on board and launched a tidal charge.

What the Japanese are best at is breaking through in the middle, in fact, to put it bluntly, it is to rely on firepower and the strength not to be afraid of death, and fight hard. Qin Wei has long figured out the three-plate axe of the Japanese, if it is other divisions and regiments, he may have to be afraid of three points, a division with Koreans accounting for the majority is not worth fearing.

The Feng army concentrated its artillery fire and carried out a fierce bombardment with the Japanese, and because of the long range and great power of the heavy artillery of the Feng army, half of the Japanese artillery was knocked out in less than an hour.

The firepower was sharply reduced, and the Japanese soldiers in the charge were unlucky, and the Feng army concentrated machine guns, mortars, and grenadiers, forming a fire blockade network. As soon as it comes into range, it will be smashed into a sieve and broken into pieces. The corpses on the ground were accumulating more and more, like a hill, and the Japanese could only step on the corpses of the people in front of them, and Xiangshang rushed over, and the thick blood irritated their nerves.

Just when the two sides were fighting to the point of life and death, the 11th Division of the Feng Army finally rushed over, and they had been pressed and beaten by the Japanese these days, and even Zhanggufeng was occupied by the Japanese. Each of them held a resentment in their hearts, why could other troops win one after another, but they fought so hard!

Seeing the sudden retreat of the Japanese, the opportunity that the soldiers had been waiting for finally came, and they chased the Japanese ass and killed them.

With their joining, a two-sided attack has been formed, in addition to them, Hou Lang, who has made meritorious contributions in the Far East, also led a cavalry brigade to kill them, and the three troops besieged the 19th Division.

The battle was extremely fierce, the Japanese were dying and struggling, many wounded soldiers simply pulled grenades, and died with the Feng army, and the explosions on the battlefield made everyone feel cold.

In the face of a deadly enemy, the way to defeat them is to be even more desperate, and the soldiers of the 11th Division are also crazy, they brave the rain of bullets from the Japanese, carry out bold intersperse, and cut the Japanese on the battlefield into several small pieces, at this time Hou Lang took advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry, and trampled them all into meat sauce.

The battle lasted for about a day and a half, and the main force of the 19th Division was completely annihilated, and the news spread quickly all over the world. (To be continued......)
