Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Lieutenant General Wada knew that if he did well, the Japanese troops waiting for work would be able to cooperate with the troops at the front and catch the People's Army by surprise; of course, if he did not do well, he would be trapped together with his division headquarters.

    There have been three cases where the Japanese Army Division Headquarters have been imprisoned on the Kanto Prefecture and Korean battlefields. Four Lieutenant Generals, Harukai Akai, Juichi Terauchi, Ichiro Hayashi, and Hikosuke Fukuda, and Lieutenant General Chotaro Murakaze were killed.  Commander.  If he were not careful, there would be no doubt that he would become the sixth Army Lieutenant General.

    His life was not a pity, but the empire could no longer take the risk of losing a lieutenant general division commander. That would be the biggest mockery of the Japanese army.  They could use Chinese raids to explain and cover up the previous losses, but it is unforgivable that such high-ranking officers were killed when King Kunihiko mobilized the whole country to confront the People's Army.

    As a high-ranking imperial officer, to a certain extent, his life is not his own.

    In the end, he chose to break out quickly before the People's Army closed up, saving the empire's reputation at the least cost.  Of course, he still had a lingering thought of reuniting with the Japanese army in Pingtaek after dawn, fighting the People's Army again, and waiting for an opportunity to rescue his men.

    I don¡¯t know if he did the right thing, but after he tried hard to break out of the encirclement of the People¡¯s Army, almost 20,000 Japanese soldiers in the encirclement did not come out again.

    At this time, most of the Japanese troops did not know that their commander had retreated.  They nervously faced off against the People's Army in the dark, completely isolated due to being divided and surrounded.  Fortunately, officers at all levels were present, the command system was still intact, and the ammunition and supplies in the trenches were sufficient, creating good conditions for their persistence.

    It is this kind of good condition that allows the 20,000 Japanese troops to dare to fight against trapped animals, which in turn reduces the pressure on the People's Army's sniper troops.  Because according to the assumption, blocking a swarm of retreating Japanese troops would be the biggest disaster in the war - the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is definitely worthy of respect, and its stubbornness without fear of death can make any shooter weak, unless he is born cold-blooded  .

    The 27th Army was prepared to sacrifice its armored infantry of more than a thousand people.

    Of course, the few brigade commanders and commanders of the Japanese army knew a lot about Wada Kameji. After all, they still had radio stations to contact him, but at this time, they did not dare to break through without authorization.

    First, Hotan left in a hurry and did not explain the next step of the battle in detail; second, the communication conditions were lagging behind, and in addition, communication troops could not be easily sent out for contact at night.  Breaking out in separate battles is inconsistent with tactical regulations. Instead, it is more appropriate to huddle in a lair and wait for reinforcements.

    Zhang Hanqing was overjoyed at this result, and Fujiwara Asaka could hear his ecstasy through the warm quilt.  He excitedly ordered on the phone: "The follow-up troops will follow immediately and must build an iron cylinder-like encirclement before the Japanese army breaks through! We must block the Japanese army's rescue at all costs! Deputy Commander Wang Meng and his more than 600 martyrs  It¡¯s up to you whether you can avenge me! The existence of these Japanese troops will also be the best weight in negotiations!¡±

    Ji Yiqiao faithfully carried out this order. In fact, they had already made a decision before and implemented it resolutely.  Now, it's just about making this execution stronger.

    A few days ago, the two armies of the support headquarters had quietly moved forward to prepare for various possible reactions from the Japanese army.  The Northeast Air Force has also concentrated the fighter planes of the 10th and 11th Wings on standby, and the Bohai Fleet has also strengthened the defenses of the Bohai Bay Rim and Qingdao from the west coast of North Korea, Dalian to Weihai.

    As for the Shenyang Military Region, it has been in a state of first-level combat readiness since the war began.

    The rear is actively preparing for war, and the front is even more intense in comparison.  When the People's Army completed the encirclement of the Japanese First Division, it immediately made preparations to hold on at various strategic locations overnight, and the Japanese troops within the encirclement also took the time to reinforce their positions.  Despite the continuous or monotonous sound of gunfire in countless places, the two sides generally maintained a state of confrontation with each other.

    Because the People's Army is already at a strategic advantage, in this case a hasty attack at night will weaken this advantage and cause a lot of damage, which is not worth it.  Anyway, the food is already in his mouth. It depends on Zhang Hanqing when and how to eat.

    This night is destined to be long and thrilling.  After hearing the news that the First Division was besieged, King Kunihiko and Nanjiro discussed the situation all night long, while Zhang Hanqing slept soundly with the beauty in his arms.

    In early spring in North Korea, the morning is exceptionally bright compared to other seasons, and the sky breaks much earlier than in other seasons.  The commander of the Wada Kame Division, who also had not slept all night, was anxiously watching the People's Army's defense line not far away, accompanied by the commander of the Pyeongtaek garrison. Behind it was his comrade who had been with him for many years.  Separated by a distance of just a few kilometers, they were so far apart.

      In fact, after midnight, they also wanted to take advantage of the People's Army's unstable foothold to launch a strong attack to open up a retreat route - it was unrealistic to turn defeat into victory. His biggest wish now was to allow his own officers and soldiers to withdraw to the maximum extent.  However, the People's Army's ferocious counterattack and persistence regardless of casualties proved to him that the People's Army did not lack the experience of night fighting and combat morale.

    I originally wanted to gather the troops and make another effort after dawn, but when I saw the layers of obstacles on the opposite side and the skillful movements of the People's Army who were constantly reinforcing the fortifications, especially when I confirmed that the opponents were China's two first-class integrated armies,  He hesitated again.  Based on experience, the People's Army on the opposite side must put at least 20,000 troops. You must know that the distance above Jiangyuan is only a few kilometers!

    At this time, the Japanese military headquarters still did not know the intentions of the People's Army.  However, it is a consensus that we cannot just watch the First Division fall into despair. This is the most capable of the most elite troops in the empire!

    However, Nanjiro's idea of ????dispatching troops and generals was disrupted by a new round of offensive by the People's Army. In the early morning of that day, all frontline troops of the People's Army launched a full-scale attack on a front line of 200 kilometers from west to east.

    Although under the tight defense of the Japanese army, the bombardment with more than 100,000 artillery shells as a cover in a morning failed to make any progress, but they wanted to send troops to rescue them, because they still could not figure out the intentions of the People's Army.

    Precious time passed little by little, and the People's Army completed the preliminary reinforcement of the fortifications. The 27th and 29th armies used nearly 4 times the strength of the First Division to firmly trap it!  Once it has the confidence to withstand attacks from the periphery, it is inevitable to tighten the encirclement.

    In fact, the Korean People's Army Headquarters is already planning to do this.

    After Ji Yiqiao learned about Zhang Hanqing's plan, he immediately cooperated and ordered more troops. Hu Zhen, the commander of the 3rd Army who learned the combat goal, firmly proposed to be the first to attack. He said to Ji Yiqiao excitedly: "The first division is to massacre  The culprit of the severely injured people in the People's Army was finally trapped by the young commander's trick. Due to the reasons, the 3rd Army has the unshirkable duty to attack first!"

    After receiving the approval, the 7th Division, which had been eager to try, could no longer hold back. Zheng Dianqi, who had been promoted to Chief of Staff of the Army, also took the initiative to ask for help: "Commander, Commander Wang Meng is a brother of the 7th Division. I want to avenge him and other brothers.  This is what the 7th Division should do! I am willing to lead the 7th Division to start and create a stable defense line!"

    In order to properly capture the First Division, Chaosi put in a lot of effort.  The attack was not started immediately after the encirclement was formed, and the attack was carried out from south to north instead of from north to south so as not to irritate the nerves of the Japanese army, because the best time to gradually eat it was to launch a large-scale feint attack across the entire line.

    As the front advances northward, the depth left for the Japanese rescue forces to attack is constantly widening.  In this way, the rescue will be time-consuming and laborious, creating an opportunity for the final annihilation of this force.

    Yes, total annihilation!  This is the consensus of Zhang Hanqing, Ji Yiqiao and other senior commanders.  Originally, the two armies were at war, each fighting for its own master. Victory, defeat, and casualties were inevitable.  As long as politics requires it, the war can be ended gentlemanly at any time, and both sides can still gain the respect of the other.

    "However, the Japanese braved the injustice of the world and committed an evil act that was despised by civilized people, such as killing prisoners, which immediately aroused Zhang Hanqing's sensitive nerves.  In his hands, failure, loss of territory, and death can be tolerated, but such limitless atrocities cannot occur!  Crimes against humanity such as the Three Days in Port Arthur and the Nanjing Massacre cannot appear before him again.

    After that time, he swore that the Korean War would never stop until this shame was washed away!  We cannot talk about the Chinese people standing up without scaring the Japanese!  If you can't retaliate tooth for tooth and blood for blood, this life will be in vain!

    Therefore, the outcome of the Japanese army trapped in the encirclement is certain. No matter how much force the Japanese army uses to rescue, China will firmly control the situation at all costs: the Japanese army dispatches one division, the People's Army will reinforce one army, and two  One, double!  This revenge must be avenged!

    According to the survey on the front line, the cost of killing this team is completely affordable: the plains are very suitable for tank operations, which is a nightmare for infantry; the main Japanese army has been divided into several pieces, and the mobility of the People's Army is not affected, which is very suitable for fighting in  It forms an absolute advantage locally; more importantly, its artillery wing is surrounded alone and cannot provide fire support to other infantry units, which is the most lethal.

    When Nanjiro was finally persuaded by Wada Kameji's strong request and sent his reserve division and tank regiment to join the battle group, the battle situation had become more difficult.

    In the north of Pingze, the People's Army already has five military groups eyeing the First Division.  Such a group, including China's only two armored divisions, is a frightening force on the Korean Peninsula, whether offensive or defensive.

    Wada Kameharu also knew this power. He bluntly said in a telegram to the captains of the 1st Brigade and the 1st and 49th Wings who took over his command: "Our division has been trapped in a tight siege, and there is great resistance to external rescue.  , I hope that officers and soldiers at all levels will be determined to die, give full play to the bravery of our invincible locust army, and be loyal to the empire!"

    At the same time, both Zhang Hanqing and Ji Yiqiao believed that the time for a decisive battle had arrived. The day the First Division was destroyed would be the dawn of the war on the Korean Peninsula. They jointly issued a telegram to the Korean People's Army on the front line:  "Let every enemy soldier die with dignity!"

    Many people are destined to never see the dawn.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)We have fallen into a tight siege, and there is great resistance to external rescue.
