Time: September 26, 10 o'clock in the morning.

Location: Along the Yalu River, there is a place called the Anping River Estuary.

At this time of year, in the cold wind on the land of the Northeast, there are six lines of Fengrui, Watchdog, Chen Tang, Shi Poyu, Xiong Da, Lao Hei and so on.

Under the escort of the guard company, he walked slowly along the river.

While walking, he, they inspected the south bank of the Yalu River, all kinds of open and dark trenches, hidden forts, artillery positions and other fortifications.

He even personally drilled into the anti-artillery hole to check whether the protection strength was sufficient.

After almost a circle, it was found that the garrison had not been idle at all in the recent period, and that the fortifications had been built in a very orderly manner.

Suddenly, while nodding continuously, there was a faint sense of approval on his face.

After letting the officers and soldiers stationed here see it in their eyes, they also breathed a sigh of relief at the expressions of these former instructors and now the top commanders of the troops.

No way! During their time in the former boot camp, the stern attitude of the instructors such as Feng Rui really left a deep impression on them.

So much so that between instincts, there are some psychological shadows in my heart.

And today, when they all went out to inspect the Anping River estuary, they were even more open-faced, as if they owed them a lot of money.

So much so that when the officers and soldiers at the scene saw this, they couldn't help but put their minds high.

For fear that these people would be unhappy, the familiar big-footed board, or the roaring cursing, beckoned to them......

Saying! In fact, you can't blame Fengrui and other team members, who have a straight face when they come over; The main thing is the current situation, which makes them a little uncomfortable.

First, the six of them are still a bit forced.

In the modern plane, one counts as one, and they are all ordinary people; After going through so many task exercises, I have also made good progress.

But because of the limitations of talent, this kind of growth is not enough for them to grow up Why are they amazingly talented, Sun Bin, Sun Wu, Wu Qi, Wei Yizi and other art of war.

At best, Dingtian is just a basically qualified commander and general.

If you really want to learn Zhuge Kongming's lupine scarf, what kind of clever way of using soldiers will harm a lot of dead people.

Fortunately, they also know one thing: in a real large-scale war, it is only a minority to use genius-like tactics to achieve earth-shattering combat feats.

Under normal circumstances, it is enough to play steadily, but there will be no big baskets.

In addition, in this battle, compared with the opponent's more advanced firepower and soldier quality, as long as they calm down and take every step, it is difficult to be defeated.

Therefore, they did not dare to be careless about every detail of the defensive line.

Second, at seven o'clock this morning, they received the exact message from the reconnaissance unit on the other side:

After five days, the vanguard of the little devil's wing finally crossed the mountain road of about 400 miles north of the island and arrived somewhere on the opposite bank.

Thinking that their follow-up troops will all arrive in the next two or three days.

At that time, the opponent they need to deal with will be the third, fifth, and sixth divisions led by the devil general Shan County Youpeng, a total of three divisions.

Originally, these three divisions lost some soldiers in the early battle with the Huai army.

But it can't stand the island country that is crazy now, and even the slightly larger cargo ships are used to take advantage of the window period when the Xuange battalion fleet is killed, and they are vigorously transporting troops and supplies to the island.

The above three divisions have been well replenished, so they are still at full strength, with a total strength of about 29,000 troops.

If you count the large number of guns and cannons they captured from the Huai army in the previous battles; and the high morale of consecutive victories.

In terms of specific strength, it is a little stronger than when he first entered the DPRK.

In addition, after the large army of Youpeng in Yamasan, there is another large army with four divisions, which is moving all the way from the side of Seoul.

The guards in Seoul were handed over to a reserve division that had just been formed and had just been transported.

Seoul is more than 600 miles away from Pingyeongseong; Another army of about 35,000 troops will not reach the Yalu River line until at least ten days later.

Third, the tactics of the Xuan Ge Battalion fighting the devils this time are also quite simple to say.

first on the front line of the Yalu River, with the help of terrain and fortifications, he first withstood the attack of the devils; At the same time, let the cavalry troops frantically attack behind the devils, cutting off their food routes and supplies.

By the way, we are waiting for the arrival of the current fleet in Lijiapo, as well as the air force.

The air force did not fly over through constant transfers, and that was because along the way, the Xuange battalion did not have enough field airfields, let alone enough fuel to replenish.

Therefore, the air force could only load the cargo ships first, and then follow the fleet by sea.

Together with fuel, spare parts, bombs, and ground crew, they were transported over.

With the long sea route of almost 5,000 kilometers between Lijiapo and Liaodong, plus some delays in preparation and loading, the air force units can only arrive in half a month at the earliest.

By that time, it was believed that the devil had been exhausted in front of the Yalu River defense line.

It happened that with the cooperation of the Air Force, it was defeated in the First World War.

The rest of the matter became simple, it was nothing more than the fleet blockading the entire Asahi Island, sinking all the devils' transport fleets, and letting them in.

The ground troops, with the support of the air force, just pushed back all the way and completely drove the remaining devils into the sea.

Therefore, it is not considered that it has entered the DPRK and is currently lurking.

Under the command of Maize, Singer, and Yu Hanfeng, the cavalry troops that need to wait for orders before they need to move.

The Xuange Battalion, which is now deployed on the front line of the Yalu River, has the first and second infantry divisions, plus the first and second regiments of the artillery brigade, with a total of about 25,000 people.

There are quite a few people, the equipment is even better, and the training is good.

But the key is that none of these troops have participated in actual combat, and in the face of the devil's side, how did the army that could reach 60,000 or 70,000 people in the later stage perform in battle?

Can you stop your opponent? Frankly speaking, Fengrui and other commanders are still somewhat under pressure, and their confidence is not so sufficient.

When the big war is about to begin, it is natural to need to take a good look at the defense line.

That's right! This army of the Xuange Battalion is in the specific area of the Yalu River; In fact, it is the same as the defense line laid out by Daqing after the defeat of Asahimama in the original history of the modern plane.

They are all large battalions and reserves, and they are all set up in Jiulian City.

The left flank defense line started from Hushan and Changdian City, and went all the way along the river to Andong County on the far right, which was a defense line dozens of miles long.

If it is defended on the whole line, this bit of strength of the Xuange battalion will definitely not be enough.

Fortunately, in many parts of this section of the river, the terrain is not suitable for crossing the river at all; It would be nice to send a little more manpower to keep a watch.

For the rest, it is only necessary to build positions in 21 more critical positions and deploy a part of the troops to defend.

In addition, according to the actual movements of the devils, it is enough to mobilize troops to support.

And the peace and deliciousness here, the reason why they are so solemn; It is completely in the history of the modern plane, and this place is the breakthrough point of the little devils of the island country.

After they successfully crossed the river from here, they led to the complete collapse of the entire defense line of Daqing.

This time, if the little devil still plans to break through from here, with the layout of the Xuange camp here, then it will definitely bring them a huge surprise.

After some inspection, Feng Rui and others ate a delicious pork stew with the 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division at the mouth of the Anping River.

You must know that for this battle, they began to store various materials around them as early as a year ago.

Nowadays, it is abundantly abundant in terms of grain, cold shelter, and forage.

If there is any dissatisfaction, it is that they are willing to spend money to buy fresh meat and vegetables from the people around them.

However, at present, there are not many people living on the Yalu River, and the supply capacity is limited.

Therefore, the pork stewed vermicelli is canned pork produced in Java, and this thing is really greasy when eaten for a long time......

Two days later, in the evening, it was also here at the mouth of the Anping River, but the location was changed to the north bank.

Hiding in a tall weed, the devil general of Shan County Youshan, who was leading a group of high-ranking officers of the devil, was carefully observing everything on the opposite side with binoculars.

In this process, the faces of Shan County and the others were extremely solemn, and the atmosphere was terrifyingly quiet.

As they expected, by noon today, the Devil's army of 29,000 people, in addition to the relatively slow artillery unit, would take a day or two.

Occupying the vast majority of the infantry, they basically reached the line of the Yalu River.

In the mountains north of Asahima, these little devils have reached a marching speed of almost seventy or eighty miles a day.

With the fact that they barely had any help from mules and horses, such a high-intensity marching speed was quite good.

It's just that this also means that the infantry of these devils are advancing lightly.

Today, in addition to a blanket and five kilograms of rice, every soldier has only a rifle, a bayonet, and a hundred rounds of ammunition in his backpack.

If the Yalu River defense line is not opened quickly, or if there is a problem with their supply lines, the situation for the army will be very bad.

In this way, Shan County and others are naturally not unexpected.

But for them, there is no way to do it, because now the island nation is in a race against time.

Almost all the middle and senior officers in the army almost understand one thing in their hearts; If you wait until the arrival of the Xuange battalion's fleet and air force in Nanyang, plus almost all the provinces of Daqing, they will enthusiastically support the arrival of men, horses, and food.

When brought together, with the power that the island nation has, it will definitely not be an opponent.

Therefore, they must use the shortest possible time to break such a defense line of the Yalu River of the Xuange Battalion and completely eliminate the main ground force of the Xuange Battalion.

then killed all the way to the city of Jingshi, and Yu Xuange's camp negotiated a ceasefire with Daqing; They have a glimmer of life in their island nation to end this war in a dignified way.

Otherwise, the island nation will face a catastrophe like destruction.

It's just that Shan County, with a group of high-ranking officers, has arrived at the Yalu River this morning.

Immediately starting from Hushan on the left flank, he walked all the way along the north bank of the Yalu River, secretly observing the defense line on the opposite side, and which places were more suitable for crossing the river.

The result? The situation is very unpromising.

Along the way, they actually found that compared with the Xuange camp, the camps built by their former opponent Huai Jun were nothing at all.

The Xuange camp used barbed wire, trenches, dark forts, and deer villages to form an amazing fortification.

Just by deducing it in their minds, they can come to the conclusion that even with huge casualties, it will be difficult for them to tear through this level of defense after a difficult crossing.

For this reason, not only when looking at the opposite line of defense with binoculars, the faces of the senior officers of the devil were extremely ugly.

When you put down the binoculars in Youpeng County, you felt something, and after turning your head to look at the people behind you, you found that the division commanders and wing commanders under her command were actually dignified and demoralized.

After taking a deep breath, he suppressed the irritability in his heart.

Shan Shan solemnly said to everyone: "Gentlemen, the island country has reached the most dangerous time.

If you can't quickly open this line of defense and annihilate the main force of the Xuange battalion on the opposite side; Once the Xuange battalion fleet and air force arrived, there were also coalition forces from the Daqing provinces.

Then the army invested by the empire on Asahimama will be dealt a devastating blow.

At that time, you and I will be sinners of the empire and His Majesty, and even if we disembowel, we will not be able to wash away the shame on our bodies.

So from tomorrow morning the troops at once gathered all the ships on the north shore, cut down the trees and bundled the rafts; Immediately after the arrival of the artillery units, an attack across the river was launched with artillery support.

In the early stage, we will attack the main direction and place it on the Hushan line on the left flank.

But please note that this is just a misleading and distracting practice from the Xuange camp, and our real breakthrough point is here at the mouth of the Anping River.

Because the river is wide and the river is gentle, it is easier to deploy more troops.

For the sake of the fate of the empire and to live up to the great trust of His Majesty, I would like to ask you here. ”

After saying this, Shan Shan solemnly bowed to the senior officers under his command at a ninety degree, almost breaking his waist pole.

And the division commanders and wing commanders under him said loudly while saluting back:

"Hey, please rest assured, even if we personally lead the charge with bayonets, we will definitely defeat and annihilate the defenders of these Xuange battalions......"

******

Two days later, on September 30.

By the time it was early six in the morning, the sky was only faintly bright.

On the left flank of the defensive line, Hushan, the highest point of the Yalu River defensive line, was at the foot of the mountain, close to the riverbank, on a forward position.

"It's two or three days away from October, why is it so cold?"

After tightening the woolen coat on his body, Zhou Jianping whispered softly in his mouth with a voice that he could only hear.

Between the opening and closing of the mouth, a heavy stream of water vapor was sprayed out.

This Zhou Jianping was in the Natives riot in Surabaya City last year; Hu Biao was one of the Chinese teenagers they met at the Bada Hotel.

After the riots ended, he met up with his classmates in the same dormitory and joined the Xuange Camp together, and then went to different positions.

Zhou Jianping got his wish and joined the infantry unit of the Xuange Battalion.

When more than a year has passed, this young man still has some fluff on the corners of his mouth, and his face is still green, but his temperament and identity are already completely different, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has been reborn.

By being educated, brain-working, training hard, and so on.

Now this young man is already the platoon commander of the first infantry division of the Xuange Battalion, the third company and the second platoon of the first battalion of the second regiment, and he has the rank of second lieutenant.

So in the faintly glowing morning light, the young man who had just turned eighteen for a few days.

Even if his face is still green, the military uniform on his body is meticulously dressed, and an armed belt ties his waist tightly, especially after having a straight face, it is very much the posture of an iron-blooded soldier.

On weekdays, this kid is even more strict with himself in everything.

This is not! Most of his brothers were still sleeping in the trenches wrapped in blankets, and it was still half an hour before they got up.

He had already gotten up early, and with a telescope in his position, he looked across the bank.

Beware of the devils on the other side, who will sneak across the river at such a time; It was also such a move that successfully avoided unnecessary casualties among his soldiers.

Because suddenly, he heard something in his ears that seemed to be different.

After pricking up his ears and listening for a second or two at most, he shouted frantically at the top of his voice: "Shelling, the deputy of the third shift will be left to serve as an observation post."

Everyone else immediately went into the anti-artillery hole, hurry, hurry, hurry~"

The words in his mouth fell, and twenty or thirty steps in front of the position, a grenade that should have been 75 mm fell there, blowing up a large area of mud and sand, and not a single result was caused.

But in Zhou Jianping's heart, he didn't dare to be careless.

Based on what he learned in the officer's crash course, he knew that this cannon should be just a test firing of devils; Soon after, more and more accurate artillery fire was coming.

Immediately, they shouted for the soldiers of the second platoon to take refuge in the defensive artillery hole.

In this process, because of his eagerness, he immediately kicked the board in the face of a few guys who reacted slower.

In this way, except for the deputy of the third squad, the soldiers of the whole platoon, who were still sleeping soundly, all hid in the nearest anti-artillery hole from them within seven or eight seconds.

Almost at Zhou Jianping, when he was the last to hide in, the dense shells fell on the position.

The offensive and defensive battle of the Yalu River, which was concerned by countless people, also officially started at this moment......
