Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The 8th Regiment can escape, but the 6th Regiment does not have such good luck.

    After the main forces of the 7th and 8th divisions of the People's Army met with the joint artillery position, they were held back by an infantry regiment and 18 artillery pieces, leaving the pursuing 1st Division unable to start and waiting for the heavy artillery to move up.

    During this period, Captain Aso realized that since his defense line was torn open, the People's Army must flee north.  To the north is the Linjin River and the defense line of the Chinese Army. Once they retreat, the battle will be over: they are definitely no match for the Chinese in a desperate battle. It is for this reason that Commander Kunihiko Kuni  Make a battle decision that lures the snake out of its hole.

    what to do?  Just block it!

    Without thinking, he ordered the entire regiment to rush to the Imjin River.  If I remember correctly, the Nakamura Regiment of the 4th Division has already taken the lead. If they can join him, they will have enough chance to stop this force on the riverside.  Even if I and the 8th Regiment are exhausted, I still want to encircle and annihilate the 3rd Army as much as possible to achieve the goal of the campaign.

    Because he wanted to avoid the artillery of the People's Army, his troops moved out of the way for more than three miles.  Both sides marched north together, both lightly armed, so they moved forward without disturbing each other.  As a result, it was a rare scene on the Korean battlefield to see two large-scale long snake formations advancing head-on with a distance of three miles.

    However, the People's Army had to run to find a safe harbor for the rear troops, so relatively speaking, they still had a slight advantage.

    After half a day, we entered the shallow wetland. According to the distance, we were already close to the Imjin River.  The generals of the two armies during the process picked up their telescopes at the same time, and saw a bridge flying north and south on the Imjin River, which was particularly clear under the clear sun; on the south bank, many temporary fortifications had been set up, and hundreds of Japanese corpses were scattered in a mess.  There, apparently, a hard fight took place.

    Aso was very happy: "It was the 8th Regiment that conquered the railway bridge? Otherwise there is no reason why they can't see their people!" If so, it means that the 8th Regiment is ready to block the attack. Otherwise, with the strength of the People's Army, they will  If our troops are not allowed to cross the river, the bridge will be blown up first.

    Thinking of this, he almost jumped up with excitement and shouted loudly: "Run forward to help strengthen the defense line. We are going to block the China Army and annihilate its 3rd Army!"

    The two regiments, with about one-third of their battle losses, had four to five thousand men, which was enough for the Chinese army to drink a pot.

    The same situation was discovered by Commander Hui De'an.  The Japanese army has seized this important area. His 8th Division and friendly forces are all infantry. If they want to attack by force, they will probably suffer heavy casualties.  But it¡¯s impossible not to fight. Will the whole army fall here in the end?  Then the entire army would really be annihilated!  Thinking of this, he also shouted loudly: "Rush forward and open a bloody path! Otherwise, everyone will die!"

    One is to attack the defense line, and the other is to reinforce the defense line, but the same action is: moving towards the defense line south of the bridge.

    The commander of the Qiaonan defense line is Yu Zhengsheng, commander of the third battalion of the 26th Regiment of the 9th Division. He has led his friends to rest here for a long time since the Japanese 8th Regiment left.  From a distance, I saw two groups of troops winding up, head and tail, and my scalp felt numb.

    ???????????????????????????????????? My dear, the division commander was worried just now that the Japanese army would not leave here, now he is probably worried that the fight will not be completed, right?

    However, the Japanese army does not look like they are going to fight. Look at their cheerful posture. When they reach the front of the position, they are still running towards the front with their guns on their backs. They have no sense of vigilance at all. What is this situation?  Could it be that they thought we would welcome him?

    ?Looking at the team on the left, it doesn¡¯t seem like the Japanese army: they are also carrying guns on their backs and dragging their tired bodies towards this side.  But how do those clothes look like our people?  A little closer, yes!  It's a red star!  The red star surrounded by the national emblem!

    What kind of trouble is this?  But doubts remain doubts, and the battle must still be fought.  In order to prevent the Japanese army from cheating, he ordered the forward guards: "Send someone to inform the troops on the right not to get close to our defense line!" At the same time, he said to the communications troops: "Notify the artillery position and extend the artillery attack 15 degrees to our left front!"

    In order to contact the artillery in a timely and effective manner, the division headquarters has set up a telephone for this position, which is directly connected to the artillery regiment command post and can also call the division headquarters.  Because of this convenience, the People's Army artillery on the north bank can easily direct where to hit.

    With a crisp "Hit!" the light and heavy firepower of a company on the left position started.  The Japanese soldiers who were caught off guard were knocked down by dozens at once. Some of them were yelling and shouting, looking very angry. Some officers and soldiers who knew Japanese smiled and translated: "They were cursing why they opened fire on them!"

    "Hahaha! Why did you fire on them? That's a good question! What are we here for?" Yu Zhengsheng still didn't understand where the Japanese army went wrong, but it was right to fight.

    Aso was confused at first, but when he saw the roaring shells above his head, he realized: "It's the Chinese army!" He shoutedThe most important thing is to select one of the best second lieutenant officers in the regiment to serve as the flag bearer, and set up a dedicated flag guard squadron to protect it.  The Japanese army at Imjin River only had an incomplete organization of more than a thousand people. Because the military flag was left here, a military flag guard team was still designated.

    Because the Japanese army's combat regulations stipulate that when the battle situation is judged to be in danger of the entire army being annihilated, the military flag should be burned.  But no matter what kind of defeat they suffered, the Japanese army had time to burn their flags and then commit suicide. Therefore, the flags of the previously defeated 2nd, 6th, 19th, and 20th Divisions were burned in advance.

    And Aso decided that after another fruitless charge, he would resolutely destroy the military flag and retire with the country.

    With a "Banzai", the remaining Japanese troops seemed to have been brainwashed again, and they regained their energy and moved forward.  According to the custom of Japanese soldiers, when carrying out a suicide charge, the slogan will be "Long live His Majesty the Emperor" or "Long live".

    Now, it¡¯s time to meet Zhenzhang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
