    On June 15, the Korean Peninsula, which had been peaceful for half a month, once again erupted into continuous artillery fire.  The Northeastern Army entering North Korea, which had finished resting, launched the "Summer Offensive" under the orders of the Northeast Frontier Defense Department, gathering more than 200,000 troops from 11 divisions and 7 brigades to launch a powerful offensive against the Japanese and South Korean troops in southern North Korea from Anyang, Yongmen, and Pongam-ri.  .  At this time, the Japanese dispatched troops to Korea had seized the time to complete the transportation of the Third (Nagoya Division), Fifth (Hiroshima Division), Seventh (Asahikawa Division), etc. from the mainland. They suffered heavy casualties in the Tohoku Battle.  The transportation task of the recovered troops has a total strength of 9 divisions and two independent mixed brigades, the 1st and 3rd, with a total strength of approximately 190,000.  At the same time, during this period, Lieutenant General Shun Tada, the newly appointed Governor of Japan and Korea and Chief of Staff of the Korean Expeditionary Forces, strictly ordered more than 400,000 Korean men to be recruited into the "Great Korean Civilian Guards", which at this time was only an empty shell, to assist the Japanese army.  Defensive operations.  The Northeastern Army and the Japanese and Korean coalition forces once again fought fiercely on the long northern latitude front of 3730¡ä, and the battle became more intense as time went by.

    In the Battle of Suwon that broke out on the 18th, in addition to the battle between the two main protagonists of the land battle, the large-caliber artillery and the speeding steel war beast tanks, the aviation forces of both sides broke out in the largest fierce air battle since the beginning of the Korean War.  The elite Japanese Army Air Force's 2nd, 4th, and 5th aviation divisions transferred to North Korea and the Northeast Army's 1st, 2nd, 5th, 8th, and 13th Air Force aviation fighter groups competed for control of the central and southern parts of North Korea.  The air superiority began a strangulation battle in the air that lasted for more than a week.  In the fierce battle for several days, more than 500 fighter planes from both sides blocked the sky, stretched their silver wings, and chased and fought among the clouds in the sky, from an altitude of 10,000 meters to an ultra-low altitude of 100 meters.  Due to the high density of aircraft in the air, there were even several mid-air collisions between fighter planes and anti-aircraft artillery units from both sides accidentally shooting down their own fighter planes.  The auxiliary fuel tanks and aircraft guns dropped by the fighter planes for the battle rained down on the infantry positions of the two armies; the pilots who parachuted after being hit one after another bloomed like mushrooms under the blue sky.  The Japanese fighter aircraft are mainly "Kawasaki Type 95" and "Nakajima Type 93"; the Northeast Army's fighter aircraft are mainly "33-b2 type" medium-sized fighters and a small amount of "fw-190 type" imported from Germany.  Its performance and firepower are slightly better than those of the Japanese fighters; in addition, the pilots of the Northeast Army have basically participated in the Northeast Battle and the North Korean Campaign, and have rich combat experience, and their pilot quality is not inferior to that of the Japanese.  After more than ten days of fierce air battles, the Northeast Army Air Force shot down 135 Japanese planes and damaged more than 20 Japanese planes at the cost of losing 47 fighter planes. They won the air battle and a number of Northeast Army fighters emerged.  Excellent fighter pilot: Colonel Gao Zhi of the Air Force, who can be called "the first ace fighter pilot of the Northeast Army Air Force". From the Northeast Battle to this time, he has shot down 56 Japanese aircraft. The second Liu Cuigang has also shot down 51 enemy aircraft.  Following closely behind, Zheng Shaoyu, who ranked third, also shot down and damaged 33 aircraft.  In the past few days, the Air Force has made more profits and lost less, effectively supporting the Army's ground operations, causing joy in the headquarters of the Northeast Army's ground troops on the front line.  On the 24th, when the two sides were in a stalemate over the Sangshan area, Long Yunfeng, the commander of the 101st Division, ordered two heavy bombers to blow up the gate of the Hwachuan Reservoir in the Han River that was still in the hands of the Japanese. The burst flood flooded the two Japanese brigades downstream.  Everything is in disarray.  Taking advantage of this moment, the infantry unit of the Northeast Army launched a charge and captured Sangshan and several towns below in one go, winning the Battle of Suwon.

    Having learned the lesson of being outflanked and annihilated by the Northeastern Army when they assembled large-scale and high-density troops in North Korea, the top Japanese commanders, who had always advocated a decisive battle with the main force, began to adopt the tactics of dispersing their forces to defend point by point, causing the Northeastern Army to move southward.  During the advance, we encountered a large number of arduous offensives and positional battles.  In order to reduce the casualties of officers and soldiers, Hu Xianmei, chief of staff of the 7th Army, proposed the "picky food" strategy at a military meeting for this kind of positional defense front formed by the Japanese and Korean coalition forces.  He explained this tactic to the generals: The defense line of the Japanese and Korean coalition forces is like a wall made of staggered bricks and steamed buns. When the main force attacks, it "specializes in finding soft areas to attack". As long as the "steamed buns" part of the enemy's defense line -  That is to say, if the position of the Korean army is defeated and breached, the overall defense line of the Japanese and Korean coalition forces will also be torn to pieces; for the Japanese army with tenacious combat effectiveness and firm will to fight, "encircle but not attack" will be adopted, while for the Korean army with poor combat effectiveness and weak will to fight, the  Use "attack but not surround".  Instead of blocking the fierce Korean army from all sides when they were attacked, they opened a net to allow them to escape. In this way, the Korean army's desperate thoughts of coexisting with the position while defending the position will be even slimmer. After all, they have no choice but to fight against the trapped beast.  The Korean army can also cause considerable losses to its own side, and the Korean army that retreats can help continue to consume the Japanese army's food.  In this way, under the "step by step, encroachment step by step" tactical attack implemented by the Northeast Army, the Northeast Army's land front is advancing southward at a slow but determined speed.

    When the Northeast Army's ground and air forces attacked the city and advanced, the Northeast Army's submarine force, which was waiting for danger, also began to be ordered to participate in the war.  a shipAs the submarine rocked, bumped and trembled, the rolling waves of the sea even caused the submarine to tilt 60 degrees, throwing the sleeping officers and soldiers out of the bed and falling heavily on the deck.

    Although the difficulties are so huge and the combat conditions are so harsh, the submarine officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army are fearless. They have only one belief: to fight regardless of life and death in order to defeat Japan and rejuvenate the Chinese nation.  With this lofty belief, the young navy submarines of China's Northeastern Army began to emerge in the East Asian waters, mysteriously biting the Japanese army's war supply line in the Korean Strait.  Within half a month, more than 200,000 tons of ammunition, food, and fuel originally shipped from Japan to southern North Korea were sent to the bottom of the sea, and this number is constantly expanding.  All this caused the Japanese and Korean troops fighting in southern Korea and the Northeast Army to begin to encounter difficulties in logistical supplies.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
