    ??

    At the same time, the roar of cannons and the sound of killings were heard in front of the Linjin River.

    Seeing that the artillery interception net could not be overcome and determined to die, Nakamura, the captain of the 8th Regiment of the 4th Division, ordered to bypass the KPA's blocking circle and penetrate northward.

    You can¡¯t offend him, but you can¡¯t hide from him, right?  The "capable" 3rd Division piled up corpses one after another at the front of the position, which made the officers and soldiers of the 8th Regiment who were hesitant feel lucky: "Writing requires resourcefulness. Our mission is to capture the Imjin River and a bunch of launchers."  Why are the Chinese artillerymen so angry when they don¡¯t pay for artillery shells?¡±

    Once the 8th Regiment left, the task of annihilating the People's Army artillery was handed over to the Aso Battalion.

    "However, Aso was not prepared to join forces with these cowards. He had already lost so many officers and soldiers. When the Chinese army on the opposite side could be defeated in one fell swoop, there was no need for friendly forces to divide the labor.  He directed Japanese troops from all directions and rushed towards the People's Army artillery positions.

    If the joint artillery position composed of the 7th and 8th artillery teams passively uses artillery as a means to suppress the Japanese attack, the Imjin River 9th Division is completely in a relatively advantageous position.

    Two infantry regiments control the hilltop in front of the river beach. The army's heavy grenade | artillery regiment and the 9th Division's light grenade | artillery regiment are both deployed in dangerous areas. This is the previous requirement of the court to overthrow with heavy firepower.  garrison arrangements.  Although Jixing wanted to grab the credit, due to the inconvenience of artillery movement, these artillery were placed here, and the arrangement was quite easy.

    Hu Zhen, the commander of the 9th Division, disagreed with Commander Jixing¡¯s eagerness for quick success and quick success.

    When a large corps fights, the most important thing to pay attention to is discipline. This is what the young marshal told these senior officers of the People's Army at the military strategy education at the National Defense University.  Japan has mobilized heavy troops, and war will definitely happen. He is even clearer than Ji Xing about the purpose of holding on to the Imjin River required by the imperial court:

    From here to the Han River, there is a flat plain, which is suitable for the People's Army to use its superior firepower and tanks. More importantly, it has strategic significance. It can force the Japanese army to strangle this land without giving up, so as to reduce its influence on various parts of China.  The pressure from the sea frontier on the coastal defenders.

    It¡¯s not that Seoul cannot be captured, but that a stalemate across the river is not a good situation after it is captured: it is not easy for the People¡¯s Army to advance southward, the road is rugged, and the Japanese army also takes advantage of the geographical advantage.

    But Ji Xing believed that the Japanese army was vulnerable and insisted that they could try an attack - if they won, it would be a great achievement. If there were repetitions, the worst thing would be to retreat!

    He is a veteran of the Feng dynasty. Although he is not very talented, he cannot bear the high qualifications.  Since the death of Marshal Sun, Zhang Zuolin has taken more care of his former brothers. It used to be that the Marshal promoted rookies in the army with his words, but now he has to do it without easily disturbing the veterans.

    The country enjoys rare peace, and the backbones with new ideas and experience in various military academies are gradually assuming a decisive position. Zhang Hanqing has not really made up his mind to eliminate the few members of the old Feng clan¡ª¡ª  Just make it a natural transition.

    Fortunately, the 9th Division only transferred one regiment. According to the later full establishment, he still had more than 10,000 men in his hands. With the two artillery regiments and the convenient location, it would not be difficult to hold this place for a while anyway.  Yes, as long as the Japanese army does not continue to attack desperately.

    He deployed a regiment in echelons. Like the artillery regiment that was in a hard fight, he wanted to use the advantage of artillery fire to suppress the enemy's possible attack. According to the plan, his two artillery regiments could cover the entire forward position at any time.

    At noon, his contact with the military headquarters was interrupted.  He tried to contact the friendly 7th and 8th Divisions but was unsuccessful, which gave him an ominous premonition.

    In this era, the People's Army division-level radio stations are still generally equipped with 5W equipment, and the communication distance is 30 to 40 kilometers. If these two divisions capture Seoul or are on the way to Seoul, they will most likely not be able to receive it. This is not surprising.  It's just that the military has a large 50W radio station, and there is no problem with transmission for thousands of kilometers. Isn't it strange that a team of tens of thousands of people cannot be contacted?

    It didn¡¯t take long for his worries to become reality.  Hu Zhen was still shocked when the main force of the 7th Artillery Regiment and the 8th Artillery Regiment "escaped" at full strength despite the bumps.  Although we don¡¯t know how the front line fight is going, the fact that we were able to get past the 7th Division and fight its rear shows that the enemy is very ambitious.

    The Japanese army's breakthrough into the 8th Division also made him understand that his position had become the front line.

    But he is not afraid.

    While ordering the first regiment to prepare for battle, he also hurriedly dispatched communications troops to report the critical situation here to the Chaosi headquarters.  In view of the extremely important position of the Imjin River, there can be no chance, especially when the main force is out in full force.

    Nothing is foolproof in a war. Bad and emergency situations can arise at any time. He turned his attention to this group of frightened people.The artillerymen of the brother army who are still in despair.  If the artillery units of the two battalions of this regiment are properly deployed, they will be extremely important support. The only shortcoming is that their command system has been paralyzed - those who can fight and can be moved out are fighting fiercely with the Japanese army.

    After reorganizing with the existing strength, each artillery company in the existing position will add half of the firepower, and all newly added artillery will be under the jurisdiction of this company.  Hu Zhen looked at the billowing dust flow and felt much more at ease.  Each artillery battery of the People's Army has the same firepower as most of the Japanese battalions, and it occupies a dangerous terrain. This battle can be fought in one go.

    The first to enter was the 8th Regiment of the Japanese Fourth Division.  Under the "wise" command of Colonel Nakamura, they successfully avoided the death blockade composed of free artillery fire and first "attacked" in front of the Imjin River.

    The first achievement was to capture the Imjin River, which would give a large number of Imperial Japanese troops a place to use.  The reason why the 4th Division can retain its reputation as a "martial arts" among the most valiant master divisions and rank among the first-class divisions is that it is also good at using its brains.

    It is said that the 3rd China Army is guarding this place, and two divisions have been trapped. Does this mean that the benefits of using more to attack fewer are just around the corner?  I believe that the commander of the Hisoka Takashi Division would not object to this kind of benefit, right?

    In fact, when Nakamura notified the commander of the Karilong Division of the combat deployment, he received his strong praise: "Yoshi, this guy Nakamura has a very good head, and he fully developed the style of our invincible fourth division. Pass the order  If we go down, I will personally lead the main force to provide full support and we will definitely capture the Imjin River in one fell swoop!"

    After receiving the news that the main force of the 3rd Army was surrounded and that the direction of Pingkang would be tight, Ji Yiqiao, commander of the Korean People's Army, could not sit still at first.  In the half month since the war started, the People's Army has been fighting so smoothly that the commanders thought it was easy to defeat the Japanese army.  After annihilating the elite 2nd and 6th divisions of the Japanese army, even he sometimes doubted the tactical literacy of the Japanese army.

    Now, tit for tat, the strength of the Japanese army is revealed, and the whole army is caught off guard.  If unfortunately the Imjin River defense line is breached, the swarming Japanese troops will most likely rush behind the 29th Army to outflank him.

    Marching on flat ground and walking on mountains have a huge impact on speed.

    He hurriedly ordered the 27th Army, which was preparing to clear out the remnants of the 6th Division, to quickly reinforce a division, and arranged for the 34th Army, which was planning to rest and reorganize, to stop returning to defense.  If the predictions are correct, the first wave of Japanese offensive is coming.  ?(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
