    The sudden collapse of the ancient city defense line on the flank of the 13th Division overnight caught Shinozuka Yoshio off guard. At this time, he could not contact the headquarters of the Korean First Division at all, and the various Japanese advisers who had been deployed there did not send any telegrams. Shinozuka  The righteous man was shocked and confused: Could it be that the Northeast Army destroyed the headquarters of the First Division in one fell swoop?  He couldn't figure it out. There were still more than 5,000 soldiers in the Korean First Division. How could it be silently defeated overnight?

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander, please evacuate here for your own safety! The Guchengjiang River has been lost, and this place is already under the impact of the Northeast Army's tank troops. We can no longer inflict fearless damage!" Deputy Division Commander Major General Yokoyama Isamu urged.  .

    Yoshio Shinozuka looked up at the cold starry sky, and a gust of night wind hit his face, and a biting chill suddenly swept through his body.  Shinozuka let out a long sigh, his face full of endless sadness. He knew that the 100,000 imperial troops in northwest Korea were defeated!

    At this time, the first part of the 103rd Division, the vanguard force of the 2nd Army of the Northeast Army, was violently advancing into the area controlled by the 13th Division under the cover of several tank battalions.  The thundering sound of artillery and the increasingly clear sound of tank engines were like the death knell of the Japanese army, ringing in the ears and hearts of every Japanese officer and soldier.  Even more frightened than the Japanese army were the Korean soldiers. They had long been regarded as cannon fodder by the Japanese, and their food and ammunition supplies were even more scarce and unguaranteed within the encirclement. The limited supplies dropped by the Japanese air force simply could not turn around.  Seeing them, panic spread in the hearts of every Korean soldier.  For many days, Northeastern Army aircraft have dropped a large number of propaganda leaflets on the heads of the Korean troops. The picture above shows a trembling and skinny Korean soldier walking onto the battlefield in despair and helplessness under the intimidation of the ferocious Japanese. Behind them,  A fat and exaggerated officer of the Japanese colonial government was riding high on their parents, brothers and sisters, dominating them. There was a row of Korean words below: Korean compatriots, stop working and dying for the Japanese colonists, come to us.  !  We are all members of the Chinese nation, and Korean people and Han people are equal!

    These words were also shouted from the mouths of Korean soldiers in the Northeast Army, and echoed through the loudspeakers on the South Korean military positions.

    A large number of deserters appeared one after another in the hungry and disorganized Korean troops, who surrendered in groups to the Northeastern Army.  In several North Korean cities behind the area controlled by the Northeastern Army, the Northeastern Army set up a large number of reception units for surrendered soldiers from the Korean Army. In each reception unit, rice porridge was cooked day and night and distributed to the disheveled Korean soldiers who came to surrender.

    North Korea is almost entirely mountainous and hilly, with steep terrain and rugged roads.  Spreading out these huge terrain folds can even cover the entire Asia. This unfavorable terrain has largely offset the Northeast Army's advantage over the Japanese army in armored units, light tanks and infantry tracks.  Although the type tank is more suitable for the area here than the medium tank, its weaker armor caused it to suffer serious losses in the suicide attacks of the Japanese death squads in the rugged mountains.  However, a large area of ????river water between Myohyang Mountain and Cheongchon River flooded the plain and became a rare large-scale plain in northern Korea. Naturally, it was also a stage for the Northeastern Army's armored forces to show off their skills. Unfortunately, the Second Army of the Japanese Korean Expeditionary Force was in this area.  Then bad luck comes.

    After the order for a general attack by the Northeast Frontier Defense Department was issued on April 22, the 8th and 10th armies of the Northeast Army were like two steel knives stabbing hard at the defending Japanese Second Army position, and the advancing Japanese troops lined up in a row.  Behind the steel fortress composed of No. 2 tanks, the vigorous infantry troops of the Northeast Army surged toward the Japanese army like rising tide.  The officers and soldiers with high morale launched a fierce offensive. All kinds of light and heavy firepower swept through the Japanese positions and entrenched hills like a violent wind. The place where the Japanese troops were located was filled with smoke and sand and rocks flew everywhere.  After falling into a tight siege, Shunroku Hata ordered the construction of a defensive front. The main Japanese 15th Division and the Independent Mixed 2nd Brigade were mostly mountain combat corps specially trained in Hokkaido, Japan. Most of the soldiers worked as lumberjacks and built fortifications and bunkers.  The stronghold is very strong and sturdy, with rat-hole-like skirmishing trenches, bird's-nest-like fire points on the trees, and crab-hole-like shelters dotted around each other. There are also a large number of secret passages between strongholds and between hilltops.  The Japanese army fought very calmly from a high position.  The Northeastern Army attacked fiercely, while the Japanese and Korean troops defended. The two sides fought bloody battles. Generally speaking, the Northeastern Army was still slowly compressing the living space of the Japanese Second Army.

    "Hata Shunroku! You can't escape even if you become the dark wind now!" Li Du, commander of the Eighth Army of the Northeast Army, rode a flaming red Mongolian horse and stood on a high place looking at the battlefield with smoke and artillery fire in the distance.  , heroic spirit surged and he spoke vigorously.

    As soon as he finished speaking, the beloved horse seemed to understand everyone. He raised his front hooves and roared to the sky, which further strengthened Li Du's majesty.  The war reporter next to him quickly took a picture of this scene.

    "Military seat! The Japanese and Korean troops are desperate, but they must also be careful of their dogs jumping over the wall. If they are desperate, rabbits will bite! While annihilating the enemy, we must not forget to minimize the casualties of our own officers and soldiers." Deputy Army Commander Li Guilin calmly said  road.?The Japanese troops in the encirclement were once again blocked from retreat.

    While the Northeastern Army was killing the remnants of the besieged Japanese troops one by one, the 107th Armored Division, the main force of the Northeastern Army's 4th Army, was unstoppable and pursued the fleeing Japanese troops and rushed into Pyongyang on the afternoon of April 28.  The frightened remnants of the Japanese army had completely lost their organization and were fighting independently in the city.

    In the Japanese Governor-General's Palace in Pyongyang, Lieutenant General Matsui Iwane, commander-in-chief of the First Army of Japan's Korean Expeditionary Force, Lieutenant General Shunroku Hata, commander-in-chief of the Second Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the 13th Division, Susumu Fujita, commander of the 20th Division, etc.  Senior generals lined up in two rows and sat quietly in the hall, with fine Japanese dishes placed in front of them.  Everyone's faces showed a look of disregard for life and death.

    "This is to report to the Commander-in-Chief at the temple that all members of our imperial army have fought bloody battles in the North Korean War for the past half month. However, many unfavorable reasons have led to failure. We have not fulfilled His Majesty the Emperor's great trust, and are unworthy of His Majesty's majesty. We especially share Pyongyang's wishes.  Whether we live or die, we will die to express our unwavering loyalty to the Empire and the Emperor. Long live His Majesty the Emperor! Long live the Empire of Japan!"

    Matsui Iwane looked calm and dictated the last telegram to Seoul word for word.

    Major General Isamu Yokoyama, who was ordered to take a flight back to Seoul, had tears in his eyes: "General Matsui! General Shunroku Hata! Commander of the Shinozuka Division! Please let me be loyal to you!"

    "Yokoyama-kun, you are still young, and your future is still far away. Please live a good life in order to continue to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and avenge us. We also hope that you can serve as a witness to our determination to die at this time.  Report from His Majesty the Emperor. Please take care of yourself!" Matsui finished speaking calmly and raised the exquisite porcelain cup filled with Daiginjo sake in front of him. "Everyone, please drink to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan!"

    In the sky outside Pyongyang, Northeastern Army bombers roared past and dropped bombs one after another. Black smoke rose into the sky from the explosion. Houses fell to the ground. The huge explosion shook the walls of the Governor's Mansion and shook the ceiling.  The falling dust fell into everyone's wine glasses and dishes, but the generals were not affected at all and continued to enjoy the last dinner of their lives slowly.

    Yokoyama Isamu bowed deeply to the generals in the hall. Just as he ran out the door, several Northeastern Army 180mm howitzer shells roared in and razed the entire Governor's Mansion to the ground.

    At this time, after learning that his family was safe, the former commander of the 1st Division of the Korean Army, Bai Shanhua, announced through a loudspeaker that the 1st Division had surrendered collectively, and called on all Korean military units to surrender to the Northeastern Army and work together with the Northeastern Army for the freedom and liberation of the Korean nation.  And fight.  The news spread like a bombshell among the Korean army, and all the disheartened Korean troops surrendered to the Northeast Army in panic.

    By May 1, except for sporadic resistance, Pyongyang had completely fallen into the hands of the Northeastern Army.  The successful occupation of Pyongyang marked that all of northern Korea was under the control of the Northeastern Army. The more than 80,000 remaining Japanese troops in northern Korea went on the road to destruction as time passed. The 13th, 19th, and 20th Divisions and the independent  A total of five numbers of the mixed 2nd and 4th brigades disappeared permanently in the Japanese army, and the remnants of the 15th Division survived the breakout.

    In the ruined city of Pyongyang, where corpses were scattered, soldiers of the Northeastern Army in twos and threes were busy cleaning the battlefield. The soldiers who captured the Pyongyang Broadcasting Station were surprised to find that the high-power radio inside could still receive radio stations.  After playing with it for a while, the officers and soldiers discovered that Chinese was coming from it. Pyongyang, which is only a few hundred kilometers away from the Northeast, could still receive radio signals from the Northeast. The announcer inside was a soft female voice: "This is Northeast China.  Shenyang Radio, this is Shenyang Radio in Northeast China, good afternoon, all listeners! We have just received a frontline battle report. The brave and fearless Northeast China Army has recaptured Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, and liberated the vast number of Korean compatriots in northern North Korea.
