Chapter 651: Into the Peninsula
"Damn, these devil soldiers don't stop when they're alive, and they're tired when they're dead, it's not a thing!" Ma Gang scolded while carrying a corpse with only half of his head left and threw it into a ditch more than fifty meters long.
It was already densely covered with corpses, and the ditch more than five meters deep had almost been filled, but all kinds of broken corpses had been dragged over and piled up.
Under the city of Gaizhou, the Feng army completely annihilated more than 20,000 people of the Sixth Division, plus the two wings of the 11th Division, a total of more than 27,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, and more than 23,000 corpses could be found, and the rest were blown to the ground. However, it must be admitted that as the most elite division, the Japanese soldiers almost did not surrender, and the Feng army only captured four or five hundred prisoners.
Just to deal with these corpses, Feng Jun dug ten ditches fifty meters long, eight meters wide, and five meters deep before loading these corpses into them.
They knew very well how arrogant the Japanese used to be, burning, killing and looting, and the Chinese people were like a flock of lambs, but in just a few years, the rapid rise of the Feng army has been able to form a strong enemy to destroy a division and regiment.
This earth-shaking change can't help but make people feel shocked, and Sun Anhu's eye circles are also slightly red. At this time, Ding Chao walked over with a smile, still holding a saber in his hand.
"Commander, this knife belongs to the division commander Koike Yasuyuki, this guy personally led a four-hundred-hundred-person death squad, and he made a desperate charge, and was beaten into honeycomb coal by us."
Sun Anhu took the saber and pulled out the saber, only to see the blade like autumn water, exuding a cold air. The handle is also well-made, and it is also inlaid with precious stones, which is not ordinary at first glance.
Sun Anhu couldn't help but say: "Good knife, really good knife!" ”
"Commander, your kung fu is so good, you can just give full play to the value of this knife."
"I can't." Sun Anhu said with a smile: "Although Nishikawa Torajiro was almost wiped out by us last time, but after all, some people escaped, this time it is a real total annihilation, and this saber is the evidence." The marshal has long proposed the creation of a military museum dedicated to the display of these things. If something so meaningful is so meaningful, let's hand it over to the museum! ”
Zhang Henian also rushed over, and said with a smile: "Since you want to send it to the museum, what guns and cannons will you put on." Military uniforms, kettles. Send one copy of them all. The safflower should also be lined with green leaves, so that future generations can see how we fight! ”
When Sun Anhu heard this, he nodded frequently, and at this time, Zhang Tinglan's telegram came, in the telegram. Zhang Tinglan asked Li Jinglin's 4th Division and Ding Chao's 6th Division to form the Liaodong Army to besiege the enemy forces in Kwantung Prefecture. The first division, which had the strongest combat effectiveness, was transferred to the direction of Ji'an, Chen Bing Yalu River.
After seeing this order, everyone present was a little dumbfounded. Zhang Henian's eyes suddenly widened, and he said loudly: "Army commander, the first division is not disabled, and there is still combat effectiveness, can the marshal send us to the rear to watch the excitement?" ”
Ding Chao laughed instead: "Division Commander Zhang, the elimination of the Sixth Division, but it is a great achievement, and I should leave some soup for the brothers, you can rest assured, I will definitely break through Dalian, take Lushun, and drive the Japanese out of the three eastern provinces completely, you can see!" ”
As soon as Zhang Henian heard that he could be willing to be the queen of others, he immediately shouted that he wanted to ask Zhang Tinglan for war and let the headquarters change the deployment. After Sun Anhu received the order, he kept frowning.
"Chinese New Year, the meaning of the big marshal doesn't seem to be to fight the brigade, but a bit like attacking North Korea!"
After Sun Anhu said this, everyone finally noticed that Zhang Tinglan used the word siege instead of attack in the telegram, which is worth thinking about. At this time, Li Jinglin and Wu Kaijie also rushed over, and everyone gathered in front of the map, looking at it carefully.
Wu Kaijie was the first to laugh and said: "I understand, the marshal definitely wants to burn the war to North Korea and annihilate the enemy abroad, as for the direction of the brigade, as long as the Japanese are contained, congratulations, you can rest assured, there is still a big battle to be handed over to you!" ”
"Old Wu, you have to have a basis for what you say, don't make me happy in vain."
Wu Kaijie suddenly smiled and said: "You look at the map, although Kwantung Prefecture is the stronghold left by the Japanese in the three eastern provinces, but this also means that the defense here is the strongest. The terrain of the Liaodong Peninsula is narrow, which is not conducive to the deployment of large corps, and the brigade is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the combined fleet of the Japanese can calmly provide sea support. ”
Wu Kaijie explained this, and everyone present also understood, it seems that the idea of driving the Japanese out completely is very tempting, but the energy required to attack the brigade that the Japanese have painstakingly operated for many years is really too great, according to the estimate of the Russo-Japanese War, at least 100,000 horses are needed.
Moreover, this is an important naval base for the Japanese, and the Combined Fleet will definitely defend this place to the death, exposing the army to the guns of the navy, except for the one who needs to be empty in front and behind, normal people can't think of this tactic.
Keeping Luda for the time being can also distract the Japanese energy, as long as they maintain a suppressive posture against the Japanese and prevent them from using Luda as a base to launch a counteroffensive, this is enough.
By focusing the battle on the Korean direction, the Bong army will have a long front and can calmly choose to break through, giving full play to the advantages of the Bong army in artillery, armor and air force, and it will be possible to make use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.
In the battle on the outside line, whether it is life or death, the losses are all North Korea and Japan, so the Feng army does not have to feel distressed. And once Luda is disabled, how many hundreds of millions of investments will come to naught, Zhang Tinglan will definitely be distressed to death.
Zhang Tinglan's calculation was to enter the Korean Peninsula, force the Japanese to come to the negotiating table, and then peacefully recover Luda. After this idea was proposed, it was unanimously approved by Jiang Baili and Yang Yuting, and these two think tanks also admired Zhang Tinglan's strategic vision more and more.
Being able to resist the urge to recover the homeland is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, so a new battle jihua has been formed. The 4th and 6th Divisions formed the Liaodong Army Corps, which was responsible for suppressing the remnants of the Kwantung Army, while the main forces of the Feng Army were all taken to the line of the Yalu River
Qin Wei's headquarters was officially upgraded to the Northern Front Army, which was responsible for entering the Korean Peninsula from Tumen. Kang Dengxuan's department was organized into the Southern Front Army, which was mainly responsible for breaking through the Sinuiju direction. As for the middle line army, it was pinned on by Zhang Tinglan and belonged to the most elite units of the Feng army.
Among them is the armored division commanded by Zhang Tingshu, this powerful assault Liliang is the biggest trump card in Zhang Tinglan's hand, so Zhang Tinglan is unwilling to let the Japanese perceive it prematurely, so in the first phase of the operation, it was not sent out at all, but took the armored force as the key to breaking through the Yalu River.
Except for armored divisions. It also included the 3rd, 13th, and 15th divisions of the border guards, as well as the cavalry division of Ma Zhanshan, and two independent artillery brigades. A newly formed engineering unit, three bomber brigades.
If you add the ace of the first division. The total strength of this legion is close to 100,000. can be called the most powerful iron fist of the Feng army, after the entire deployment was issued, Zhang Henian no longer complained about anything, on the contrary, his face was full of joy.
Just think about it, an army of 100,000 people, under the cover of planes and tanks. Killing the Yalu River and rampage on the Korean Peninsula makes people's blood boil, and Dashuai's decision is really too wise!
But just when the Central Line Corps was deploying troops. Qin Wei's Northern Front Army had already made a breakthrough, and the battle between the Feng army and the Japanese began at Zhang Gufeng, and the battle around this high ground had entered a white-hot level from the beginning.
In charge of the Korean side was the Japanese 19th Division, which was also a fierce force, which organized several onslaughts and seized Jang Gufeng. However, after the initial victory, the Japanese made a fatal mistake, believing that by opening the road to Vladivostok, they could cut off the Feng army and the Far Eastern Empire, leaving the vast and rich land of the Far East in the hands of the Japanese.
However, these Japanese underestimated the strength of the Feng army, and when they detected that the Japanese had crossed Lake Hassan and advanced into the Far East, Qin Wei decisively ordered the 7th Division to cross the Tumen River as the lead and enter the Korean Peninsula.
Although the 7th Division was not as experienced in combat as the previous divisions, it was also very groundbreaking, as they collected a large number of fishing boats, selected them of similar size, and installed thick planks of the same length and width.
These special boats can quickly form a pontoon bridge by connecting the iron chains at the end of the planks to the river. And this kind of pontoon bridge can also be dismantled freely like building blocks, and a section is broken, as long as the boat below is withdrawn and replaced with a finished haode.
In addition, there are iron cables on both sides of the boat, so that the two pontoons can be easily combined, which greatly increases the efficiency of passing. Originally, pontoon bridges were built over the river, first connecting the boats, and then laying wooden planks. Not to mention the slow speed, it will also be attacked by the enemy, and the losses of the sappers will be large, which will affect the effect of the raid.
Once the new method is established, the time can be reduced by at least a third, which represents an infinite number of lives.
After everything was ready, Qin Wei sent the only bomber group in his hand out to bomb the Japanese along the Tumen River indiscriminately, and the Japanese were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.
Just as the air raid began, the heavy artillery of the Feng army also launched a heavy bombardment on the other side of the river, blowing up the Japanese positions in all directions. Under the cover of firepower, these specially made fishing boats finally sorted, one after the other, like building blocks, and in less than an hour, three pontoon bridges appeared on the river.
At this time, the artillery fire preparation was almost complete, and the soldiers of the Feng army stepped on the smooth pontoon bridge and quickly killed the opposite bank.
The arrogant Japanese did not expect this result, they only prepared a wing of defenders along the line, and the firepower was thrown away by the Feng army, so there was no surprise in the battle, and the Feng army successfully broke through the defense line along the river.
Then the Feng army, under the command of Qin Wei, went straight to Luojin, the target was the back road of the 19th Division, as long as it was cut off here, the main force of the 19th Division in the Far East would become a kite with a broken line, and life and death would be in the hands of the Feng army!
