Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    While the young marshal was galloping to bed, the People's Army on the Korean front launched the largest offensive war since the war between China and Japan against the Japanese army on the opposite side.  The three corps of the East, West, and Central | Central Corps suddenly launched at 4 o'clock in the morning, and nearly 2,000 artillery continued to sweep fire for more than ten minutes amid the roar.

    The estimation of Zhang Hanqing is not bad, because the young lady Yu Fengzhi personally worked for the army, the Japanese Korean military intelligence department believed that the People's Army was prepared in accordance with the requirements of Zhang Hanqing's ten-day agreement, and it was confirmed from the mouths of friends and Liao Yaquan that this battle  There are still a few days of buffering for the battle, so there is no preparation for this attack.

    They would never have imagined that the Chinese would play their tricks, start an undeclared war or use the tactic of exhaustion.  Previously, most of the officers and soldiers were preparing to retreat to the south of the Han River, but they were stunned because the Japanese military headquarters finally rejected the combat deployment. The war started before the headquarters had time to agree on the defense scope of each department.

    This large-scale attack by the Korean People's Army was sudden and effective. The Japanese army was completely stunned. So much so that when King Kunihiko Gongyan received a call from the frontline division commander in his sleep that he was under attack, he couldn't believe it.  real.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, we encountered the most violent attack by the Chinese army. They used many cannons and countless bombers. We suffered heavy casualties! I judge that the enemy will soon launch a ground attack. Please give urgent support, Commander!"  "

    Such news came from three places: left, center and right, which put the headquarters in a dilemma. King Jiure Gong Bangyan had already determined that this was a large-scale attack by the People's Army.

    "Oh, the damned China army actually made false claims and caught us off guard. This is a shameless act!"

    He forgot the ancient Chinese saying that "soldiers are treacherous", and also forgot that undeclared war is the tradition of the Japanese army.  Before the two sides reach a real armistice agreement, any military action is legal, reasonable and reasonable.  Sneak attacks and assaults are originally common methods of military warfare.

    In order to achieve the suddenness of the battle, Ji Yiqiao carried out large-scale construction projects in several places, so that the world knew that China would build airports in several important places such as Pyongyang and Chongjin.  The Japanese are not interested in this, because it will take at least three months to build the airport. If the Chinese want a war, why is Japan unprepared?  Slowness will not help, where will fear come from?

    But Ji Yiqiao had already secretly gathered ten army engineering regiments to urgently arrange airstrips at the Pingshan and Xipu lines.  During the Battle of Guandong Province, he was deeply impressed by the power of the H-1, which also made him fully accept the Marshal's concept of air-ground battle. As the war progressed, he arranged for the accompanying air force officers to find suitable bases.  Prepare for the subsequent Sino-Japanese war.

    When the front line was in full swing, who would pay attention to such a small move of his?  Because of the need to repair the damaged railways and roads, two railway divisions from China entered North Korea. They were making trouble in various places. The Japanese army did not have enough energy to accompany them. The limited detection firepower network was not enough.

    So without anyone noticing, two airports were built.  Ground crews from 4 wings entered the two airports in advance to prepare. Then the day before the war began, a total of more than 100 fighter and bomber groups turned into the airport in batches along the coastline of West Korea to avoid possible attacks from the north.  The remaining Japanese intelligence personnel.  Once we're close to the front line, it's relatively safer.

    By the way, flying close to the sea is also the young commander's masterpiece.

    After a long period of dormancy, the Chinese Air Force has been replenished and strengthened.

    Since the Battle of Guandong Prefecture basically wiped out the Japanese army, the Chinese army's tactics of infantry, tank, and air coordination were hidden.  Senior Japanese military officers only knew that the fighting in Kanto Prefecture was brutal, but they also knew very little about how it was deployed. They only knew that China dispatched tanks and aircraft.

    They all have tanks and planes, but they just didn¡¯t think of using them.  By the time the factories began mass production, the front lines had ceased fire.  Therefore, from the beginning to the end, the Japanese army had no plan to deploy tanks or aircraft, and there was no plan to deal with them. The senior officials of the headquarters still had the same understanding of army operations as during World War I.

    Since the Japanese army completed the process from the end of the Tokugawa period to the Meiji Restoration in more than ten years from mainly cold weapons to rear-mounted rifled firearms, which took Europe and the United States hundreds of years to complete, coupled with Japan's modern military industry, especially in munitions  In terms of supply, it has never been able to reach the level of Europe and the United States. The Japanese army emphasizes infantry as the core of the tactical system. This is the so-called "white soldier omnipotence".

    According to the recollections of British and German diplomatic attach¨¦s who participated in Japanese Army training in the 1920s, they found that Japanese infantrymen were obsessed with military gymnastics to enhance arm strength and flexibility, and spent a considerable amount of time every day conducting assassination training.

    Starting from the first month after entering the camp, new recruits undergo long-distance marching training with heavy loads every month. Ordinary infantrymen carry a load of 40 kilograms. Frail junior soldiers faint and even die.??Appeared in almost all infantry regiments.

    From the perspective of the quality of individual soldiers, the Japanese Army can be said to be the most hard-working, most rigorously trained, and bravest army in the world.  It can be seen from their outfit: 30 kilograms of complete equipment, including rifles, grenades, 180 rounds of 6.5 mm bullets, steel helmets, kettles, lunch boxes, gas masks, even cross cookers, engineer shovels, and several days of dry food.

    The Japanese are not well-known for their height. As for why they are so tall in later generations, this is because Japan attached great importance to its youth after its defeat. It was also the first country in Asia to implement a free breakfast plan, and it began to surpass China in the 1950s.  Of course, the U.S. troops stationed in Japan will say: My credit, haha.

    With such a heavy load and typical short stature, it cannot but be said that they are indeed citizens who are good at enduring humiliation and bearing heavy loads.

    Such first-rate soldiers were led by third-rate officers.  This was true during the Russo-Japanese War, and it was also true during the Battle of Nomonkan. The military attach¨¦s from major powers who watched the battle in the Japanese Army gave quite objective evaluations.

    The observer¡¯s perspective is often much more macroscopic and comprehensive than that of the parties involved, because they can see the shape of the entire battlefield.  As officers with combat experience, they were able to fully analyze why the Japanese army lacked effectiveness in its offensive.

    "As far as the level of risk-taking is concerned, the Japanese soldiers have nothing to say. They even believe that there is no one braver than the Japanese soldiers on the battlefield. Even the Chinese soldiers are not as brave as this.  The crux of the Japanese army's main problem was the lack of flexibility and creativity at the command level. The army was trained too rigidly and the soldiers only fought according to fixed procedures. When this procedure did not work, they did not know what to do.

    Once upon a time, Japan's military machine was also considered difficult to deal with by the West, but now observers have to say that the Japanese army is actually only third-rate - measured by European standards.

    Historically, the third-rate Japanese army was able to show off its power in China, of course because the Chinese army was even more inferior.  When the Korean People's Army reached or even surpassed the Japanese army in terms of equipment and morale, the advancement of the Chinese army's command system was immediately clearly verified.

    The Battle of Seoul is a perfect example.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
