On a position of the 33rd Army, watching the Japanese troops gradually retreating. Even if they were fighting very bravely just now, these brave warriors still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and they felt like they had escaped death.

In the final analysis, even people who are no longer afraid of death, unless necessary, will never take the initiative to contact death. What's more, they are just ordinary soldiers, and the kind of people who are not afraid of death at all, these people usually only see in those fantasy novels written by Yan Shao...

"But there's only so little ammunition left, and I don't know how long it will last..."

"yes..."

Looking at the ammunition in his hand, the morale of the officers and men of the 33rd Army on the position became slightly low. Because if they continue like this, they probably won't be able to hold on any longer.

On the other hand, the officer in charge of this position couldn't help frowning after looking at the little ammunition left.

"Anyway, let's collect some ammunition from those Japanese first, I don't know how long this blocking mission will last..."

"Yes!"

At the orders of the officer, although they were very tired, the soldiers below struggled to get up from the ground, and then searched for possible 'supplies' on the corpses of Japanese soldiers inside and outside the trenches―――――― in fact, the battle had reached this point, and they had basically changed all of them into Japanese weapons, even when fighting bayonets, they used Japanese Type 38 rifles and Japanese bayonets. It is not that Japan's weapons are better than China's, but even if China's weapons are much better than Japan's. What's the use of not having ammunition? For a long time, in the eyes of these soldiers, Chinese weapons. In fact, there are not so many differences between Japanese weapons...

About half an hour later, just as the officers and men on the position had just collected some weapons and ammunition, the Japanese troops outside the position launched another attack. By the time the officers and men in the position had repelled the Japanese again, and had exhausted all the ammunition they had collected with great difficulty, they finally got the telegram they had been waiting for.

Looking at the telegram that had just arrived in his hand, the officer pondered for a moment. He spoke to his subordinates. "Pack up now, we'll get out of here at once," the officer added. Remember. Take all the brethren with you, and we can't leave them in the hands of the little devils..."

This brings the brothers, of course, not only to the wounded, but also to those who have died in battle. In fact, the proportion of this part is not small. And this order to the officer. The officers and soldiers below did not resist in the slightest, after all, those were the brothers who got along with them day and night, and if they could, they would never let their bodies fall into the hands of the Japanese.

It is not the habit of never abandoning a brother, even a corpse.

This habit is still there for the Wehrmacht, but it also depends on the situation, because many times you don't necessarily win and you may face defeat. There is even the possibility of total annihilation. It would be great if the body of the brother could be taken away. But if it can't be taken away, if the whole unit is in a desperate situation simply because of this, then the commander of this unit is incompetent.

Moreover, many times, the situation you face will not allow you to do so.

Therefore, the usual habit on the part of the Wehrmacht is to take away those who can be taken away, and if they cannot be taken away, they will first find a way to bury the officers and soldiers who have died in battle. When the fighting subsides in the future, I am trying to find a way to bring them home. Anyway, every soldier in the Wehrmacht has his own soldier badge, which clearly records the soldier's name, rank, unit number, etc., so there is no need to worry about anything wrong.

Of course, there are some that can't be found at all, and there is no way to do this, after all, with the progress of war technology, many times, the probability of a soldier ending up with a dead body is very high, if it is hit by a large-caliber shell or bomb, even if it is described as 'crushing bones and ashes'...

But this time it was different, perhaps because of the unhappiness of the war, or perhaps because the Japanese were very brutal by nature. In this conflict, it often happens that after the Wehrmacht evacuation, the temporary burial ground is exhumed, and the remains of all the officers and soldiers inside are exhumed and some acts of anger are carried out...

In the beginning, this was just a few cases, but as time went on and the situation on the Japanese side became more and more unfavorable, this situation became common.

Although the Japanese government is also hiding this, as the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in this world. What's more, the current Korean Front has begun to be partially infiltrated by the Special Affairs Bureau, and this kind of thing can be concealed for a while, but it is impossible to hide it forever, so it didn't take long for the Nationalist Government to know about it.

Yan Shao was naturally very angry about this, and even questioned the Japanese side.

However, how could the Japanese government admit such a thing, but it just kept prevaricating that no such thing had happened, and even if it did, it was only an isolated case.

At that time, China and Japan were still in conflict, and although the two countries had not yet broken off diplomatic relations, they were almost there, and the government of the Kuomintang had no other good way to defeat Japan. However, after this incident was exposed, the number of Japanese prisoners captured by the Wehrmacht in Korea was greatly reduced...

And when the Japanese government questioned it in turn, the Kokusha government claimed that this happened because the soldiers would rather die than surrender, and they had nothing to do.

In the face of the defense of the Kokusha government, it is difficult for the Japanese government to say that those soldiers were buried alive after surrendering. After all, in the propaganda of the Japanese government, the officers and soldiers of the Korean side who fought in Korea were all the emperor's most loyal samurai, and it was impossible for them to surrender to the inferior Chinese...

Therefore, while the Japanese government was helpless, it had no choice but to make a fuss about the rhetoric of the national government, claiming that on the Korean battlefield, there was not a single Japanese soldier who voluntarily surrendered.

This publicity has really affected many people...

――――――――――――――――――――

Anyway. The thirty-three officers and men stationed in the positions finally received the order they most wanted, that is, the order to allow them to retreat. Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that the Japanese had just been repulsed, the Japanese would not have the opportunity to launch another offensive for the time being. Soon the Wehrmacht officers and men on the positions were evacuated with the necessary weapons and ammunition, as well as the wounded or killed brothers...

Because it was already dark at this time, the Japanese troops outside the position did not notice this, which made the evacuated troops very happy

By the time the Japanese troops on the periphery attacked again and found that all the officers and soldiers on the positions had withdrawn, they had already withdrawn from a distance of at least ten kilometers.

On the positions that originally belonged to the 33rd Army. Looking at the corpses in teal-green uniforms everywhere, and the position that was already empty, a Japanese officer angrily pulled out his command knife. A knife was slashed next to it, and it was still floating in the wind, and the 'Red Bottom Dragon Flag' was stained with gunsmoke...

After paying such a big loss, it is obviously unacceptable to anyone to end up with such a result. And after getting a telegram from the superiors. The troops, who had just captured their positions, did not even have time to rest. They had to continue to drive in the direction of Pyongyang.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

After receiving the telegram from Gao Wenshan, the 33rd Army quickly took advantage of the darkness to withdraw.

At first, the Japanese troops on both flanks had not yet noticed, and by the time they did, the 33rd Army had already withdrawn a considerable distance. Although the Japanese launched a pursuit, when the 33rd Army retreated, it had already arranged a blocking force, and handed over most of the remaining ammunition to this group of troops responsible for the break. Although the Japanese army is on fire. However, it was never able to catch up with the 33rd Army, which had withdrawn to Pyongyang.

And just as they were going to find out the burial place of the Wehrmacht, as usual, the Wehrmacht. However, it was found that there was no cemetery at all, and the evacuated IDF had taken all the bodies with the wounded.

It is not surprising that, after what had happened before, how could the Wehrmacht continue to leave the body in place to vent the anger of the Japanese? After all, those brothers are with them day and night, and even if there is even the slightest possibility that they can take them together, they will never leave their brothers in the same place!

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Next to the artillery positions on both sides of the Taedong River, many engineers and newly recruited Korean civilians were working hard, and their purpose was very simple, that is, to build some larger and stronger artillery positions and fortifications on both sides of the Taedong River.

For this reason, they even got a lot of ash out of the city of Pyongyang, although the quality certainly cannot be compared with the military, but it is still much better than those rudimentary artillery positions.

And in some artillery positions that have been almost repaired, many soldiers are pushing one large-caliber heavy gun after another into the position. The swarthy iron pipes shone against the sun, shining with a sheen that would make anyone shudder, and anyone who knew anything could easily see that none of these guns were less than 150mm in caliber, and some of them reached the point of 210mm.

At the same time, these positions are also designed very reasonably, and can be used to strike at moving targets relatively lightly―――――― of course, in this respect, compared with the shore defense guns that are placed on the batteries, the gap is certainly huge, but it is definitely much stronger than before.

In fact, this is precisely a new kind of artillery position summed up by the artillery of the 17th Army after learning from the experience of the previous time. Although it is a bit more troublesome when hitting fixed targets, it is still effective when hitting moving targets.

Of course, they themselves know very well that if there is no accident in striking a moving target or something, I am afraid that they will only have this experience in this life. After all, they are artillery of the army, and it is usually impossible to play this hand with sea targets ...

Looking at the large-caliber heavy artillery that had been pushed into position, some of the soldiers had expressions of joy on their faces. With these artillery, naturally there is no need to worry about the Japanese ships coming. Some time ago, the battle case of sinking a Japanese ship in the Datong River gave them great confidence.

"If those little devils' warships dare to run into the Datong River this time, we will definitely make them pay the price..."

In the end, it took a lot of force. After pushing the heavy artillery into the gun emplacements in the position, a soldier wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile. Although the climate is already very cold at this time, it is for them. The sweat had already soaked the cotton clothes on his body―――――― and the cotton clothes were not sent by transport ships, after all, if this thing wanted to satisfy more than 100,000 people, six transport ships alone would definitely not be enough.

The Wehrmacht was well aware that the winter in North Korea was very cold, so all the cotton clothes they wore now were prepared before departure. I didn't expect it to be used in the end...

"Yes! The warships of the little devils last time almost blocked the Datong River, but this time they must not be allowed to succeed..."With his back against the cold barrel. The other soldier smiled as well.

――――――――――――――――――――――

Last time, one Wehrmacht transport ship was sunk, and several warships pursued by the Japanese into the Datong River were also sunk. There are also several floating flares that have been turned into flaming flares, floating on the surface of the river like iron coffins.

At the beginning, Gu Anshan, who saw this scene, thought that he had let the Japanese succeed, and he was very self-blaming in his heart. But by the time the torches were all burned out at sea. And his men also pushed the ships behind the shore on both sides. Only then did he realize that things were not as bad as he had imagined.

It is true that the Datong River was blocked by a certain amount of Cheng dù, but in fact the blocked Cheng dù was much stronger than expected. Although it is true that the positions of the two ships are very fatal, as long as they are careful to bypass, they will never have any impact on the navigation of the Datong River.

If you have time, you can even salvage those two warships.

Of course, neither Gu Anshan nor Gao Wenshan will have such interest, after all, North Korea is not their home. What's more, salvage requires a lot of professional equipment, which they absolutely don't have. And by the time they got the equipment. I'm afraid the war is over, so why waste so much effort. It's better to think about it to be true...

Although the incident last time did not cause the blockage of the Datong River, it could only be regarded as a false alarm, but neither Gao Wenshan nor Gu Anshan would ever want such a thing to happen again. So when Gu Anshan asked for more large-caliber heavy artillery to come over, Gao Wenshan almost didn't hesitate and agreed to Gu Anshan's request. More than 50 of the more than 500 heavy guns in his hands were transferred out―――――― not to mention that there were only more than 50 guns, the smallest of these more than 50 guns had a caliber of 150mm, and the rest were 210mm.

There are only more than a hundred heavy artillery pieces of this level, even in Gao Wenshan's hands, and this time it can be said that half of the number has been transferred at one time. This is also because in anti-ship operations, 75mm and 105mm caliber guns cannot cause any fatal blow to ordinary warships, even if it is an ordinary thousand-ton destroyer, as long as it is not hit by a 75mm caliber shell, it is definitely no big problem to take a few shells, not to mention other ships with larger tonnage? Only 150mm caliber heavy artillery is still effective against this kind of ship, and if it is a 10,000-ton ship with a larger tonnage, only 150mm and 210mm caliber heavy artillery can have some effect―――――― this year's 10,000-ton cruisers, some of the guns used are only 210mm, isn't it?!

This, of course, refers to the later treaty-type cruisers, the criteria for which were divided by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1921. The treaty stipulated that all cruisers should have a displacement of no more than 10000 tons and a caliber of main guns no more than 8 inches (203 mm). The London Naval Treaty of 1930 was based on the Washington Naval Treaty, which more clearly divided the standard of light and heavy cruisers―――――― heavy cruisers were cruisers with a main gun caliber of more than 6.1 inches, and vice versa were light cruisers. The caliber of Japan's Kaohsiung-class gun is 203 mm.

In the process of the withdrawal of the 33rd Army, the six transport ships that had just arrived in Pyongyang had already safely unloaded all the supplies on board.

Each of the six transport ships was able to carry thousands of tons of supplies, including weapons and ammunition that were most needed by the Wehrmacht, as well as medicines that the wounded needed most. As for the food or something, it is not loaded, because the 17th Army has received very sufficient food supplies in Pyongyang, so it is not needed...

In fact, it was precisely because the Wehrmacht learned about this that they did not arrange food and fresh water on the transport ship ...

With this supply, the defense of the National Defense Forces in Pyongyang has suddenly become like an impregnable wall, and many weapons and equipment that were originally lacking ammunition can finally be reused, which naturally makes many National Defense officers and men extremely happy.

After all, even though the equipment of the Japanese Army is much stronger than in history, it is still a long way from the Wehrmacht. This can be seen from the previous battles. Although after a long time, any kind of equipment can still be used, but in fact, the people of the 17th Army still miss the previous weapons, after all, compared with the Japanese weapons, their original weapons are more powerful.
