Chapter 888 Heavy artillery fire

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The 27th, 3rd, and 2nd Army were stationed in sequence in the west, south, and east. The 29th Army of Liang Zhongjia was stationed in the Xingnan Port, Wenchuan, and Wonsan areas of the East Korea Bay-this was to prevent the Japanese troops from landing here and  Controlled the important town of Hamhung in central North Korea, but the Japanese army did not enter from then on.

    But even so, this unit cannot be moved - it is also responsible for supporting the northeast and protecting the retreat of the 2nd Army going south. After the Japanese landing battle at Yongxing Bay started, the 29th Army hastily  Reinforcements here.

    The only one that can move is the 21st Army stationed in Pyongyang.

    Because Yongxing Bay is bordered by the continuous Dafeng Mountains, even the 8th and 9th Divisions, which are as strong as the 8th and 9th Divisions, cannot deploy. Therefore, Ji Yiqiao's judgment is that this Japanese army can only feign an attack to contain other forces with the People's Army.  War, but it cannot be ruled out that the situation may become fake due to changes in the situation.  War is always full of changes, and this is its charm.

    Taking into account the geographical location and artillery superiority of the Imjin River garrison, as well as the smooth logistics, Ji Yiqiao was confident that he could provide sufficient support after the Battle of Nampo, so he only let the 100th Division of the "Banzai Division" go south and focused on  To Nanpu.

    As long as the Japanese troops in the western Korea Bay are repulsed, with the convenience of the railway, the distance from Kaesong to Pyongyang is only 122 kilometers, and the reinforcements will arrive at the Imjin River in two hours.

    The situation is about to be broken, so don¡¯t divide your troops at this time. It¡¯s still a fight, and it¡¯s also a very important position. Why sacrifice the near for the far?

    "In this way, two armies versus two divisions are a situation in which the People's Army has the upper hand. Ji Yiqiao wants to drive the Japanese army into the sea.  However, if he knew the determination of the Japanese army this time, it is questionable whether he would still deploy it like this.

    In front of the Imjin River, the 8th Regiment is already in place.  However, looking at the water flow and the vague artillery array on the other side of the river, Captain Nakamura was still shocked.

    The 9th Division of the People's Army has been here for five or six days, which is long enough to set it up as an iron wall.  As a veteran of the Osaka Division and a businessman at heart, Nakamura was keenly aware that this terrain was a cemetery for infantry attacks.

    I thought I had avoided the People's Army artillery blockade that was fighting to the death, but I didn't expect it to be self-defeating: although artillery fighting on peaceful ground would cause a lot of losses, it would definitely be much better than here.

    What¡¯s even more annoying is that in order to control the main railway bridge connecting the north and the south, the People¡¯s Army reinforced a position several miles in radius at a prominent place on the south bank of the bridge.  Although the terrain is not high, it still forms a condescending position to other places.  It is like a wedge piercing the south of the Yangtze River. If it is not removed, can we expect the Japanese army to swim across it?

    The entire river was quiet. If the wheel marks of the retreating artillery regiment were not still clear, he would have doubted whether there was anyone living here.  He ordered a squadron of infantry to fumble forward and make a tentative attack.

    No one responded, the huge position was like an undefended city, which made Nakamura feel more excited.  He picked up the telescope, trying to see some clues in the vague fluctuations.  However, he could see nothing except the vague fog.

    I looked back and saw that the cannon could not keep up due to the distance.  But in a battle in such terrain, it would be difficult for artillery to operate, right?  I have already said what I said before. If I don't take any action, I will definitely be questioned again after the war - I would have known better to cooperate with the Aso Regiment to fight the Chinese artillery on the road.

    Although there may be many dead people, as long as they are all suppressed, victory will definitely belong to you.  Pooh!  Look at my head!

    There was no better way. He bit the bullet and Nakamura instructed his large team: "Attack, pay attention to seize the commanding heights!"

    ¡°In fact, there is no need for him to talk nonsense. This army, which values ??life more than anything else, does have unique insights in preventing sudden attacks: it moves forward slowly, with people on both sides to guard from time to time, and basically walks for a while to observe.  It's safe this way, but at this speed, it will take years and months to cross the Imjin River?

    Nakamura was a little anxious. He was about to order the troops to speed up. Suddenly there was a loud burst of gunfire and countless tongues of flame coming out from every corner.  Although the squadron of more than 100 people was cautious, how could it end well if it fell into an ambush circle without obstacles?  In just five minutes, the unfortunate vanguard fell in a pool of blood.

    Their deaths also gave Nakamura a chance.  It was great, but the firepower network of the People's Army was also exposed at the same time. Nakamura ordered the accompanying mortar crew to suppress fire.

    Fires rising into the sky and deafening explosions were heard one after another, as the two sides competed for or defending the Imjin River.

    At this time, the 7th and 8th divisions, which were trying to break out of the tight encirclement, had already pressed on the final reserves.  Surrounded by three divisions, basically if you can't escape, you will die, so you have to work hard from top to bottom, which also makes the 3rd Division responsible for sniping complain.

    Don¡¯t say that the Japanese army hasWhen they withdrew the main artillery force in an emergency and had a great chance to strengthen the defense of the Imjin River position, Hui De'an felt a sense of relief: With such Chinese soldiers, China will surely win!  There will be successors to Chinese military officers with such broad vision!

    Since the People's Army stabilized the defense line in time, the Japanese 3rd Division also needed to lick its blood.

    The two reorganized divisions were not something it could swallow up easily. Seeing that the Aso Regiment, which was known for its bravery and bravery, was suffering heavy casualties and was unable to break through the People's Army artillery defense line on the opposite side, the commander of the Anmanqin First Division also decided to wait for the attack and dispatch artillery support. Therefore, the battlefield  A rare calm came down, allowing the remnants of the 7th Division to successfully retreat to new positions.

    Commander Zheng Dianqi was the last group to retreat into the defensive circle.  Along with this breakout, he lost half of his troops, including a regimental commander who was hit by a cannonball flying from Seoul during the retreat and died on the spot.

    He felt extremely guilty about leaving the wounded soldiers to retreat (escape), especially when he heard that Wang Meng, the deputy commander of the 21st Regiment, volunteered to stay and lead the wounded soldiers.  When he thought about this, he couldn't forgive himself.  Leading the team in person is also a sign of atonement.

    It¡¯s just that he¡¯s also a good fortune teller.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
