    ??

    After losing most of their light and heavy weapons, the Japanese army was even more unable to hold on to even one position. They could only use long strides to avoid the heavy pursuit of the People's Army.  Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Maybe that¡¯s what it means?  Anyway, as long as they are out of reach of guns, the Japanese army's footsteps are faster and faster, and they are getting further and further away from the People's Army.

    It¡¯s not that the People¡¯s Army has never chased them, but trying to catch up with the Japanese soldiers who were running away with light armor (throwing away all their burdens) is really not what humans do!

    For three whole days, I couldn¡¯t even bend my legs, but I also achieved fruitful results.  In addition to Seoul and Inchon, which were actually captured before the order was issued, Chuncheon, an important town in the northern Han River and Zhaotong River, was the first city that the Japanese army was forced to abandon, followed by Wonju, Yeoju, Anseong, and Pyeongtaek.  Advance 80 kilometers south.

    Thanks to the "selfless" assistance of the Imperial Alliance Army, the retreating Japanese army finally stabilized its position in Tianan after overcoming the initial panic.  This Cheonan is the place where the warship was named in the so-called "Cheonan Ship Incident" in later generations. It is halfway between Seoul and Daejeon. The southeast can get supplies and manpower from Daejeon through the railway. The southwest also has a direct railway to Gunsan Bay, which can get the navy.  direct support.

    The three central divisions of the Japanese army are all deployed on this line, and the two eastern divisions are also setting up defenses in the key areas of Chungju and Yeongju after retreating in large steps.

    Because there is the Taibai Mountains to the east, the terrain does not support large-scale operations. As long as these two places are strangled, the People's Army will rush through the mountains to the back of the Japanese army. First, it will not be able to transport artillery to provide support. Second, it will most likely be attacked by the Japanese navy and land forces.  The team's attack.  Besides, after receiving the order to retreat, they retained their main force in a relatively organized manner, so they still had the strength to fight.

    But even this is not safe. Commander Jiuergong Bangyan Wang still deployed a second line of defense behind him, and decided that no matter whether the country decided to send troops or not, he would fight to the death with the People's Army here and never retreat!

    He set up his headquarters in Daejeon, retreated the two disorganized divisions on the western front here, and joined forces with the three divisions that came later.

    The firefights in the past few days have made these three divisions pay special attention to defense issues. Therefore, they have carried out fortification preparations almost day and night, and their positions are relatively solid.  Four marine divisions of the Japanese Navy also landed from Gunsan Bay in the west and east Korea Sea and Yuxi, Samcheok and other places to assist the army in setting up defenses.

    Under the severe situation, we no longer care about the opinions of the navy and the army. Everything is based on the highest interests of the empire.  The disastrous defeat in the Battle of Seoul allowed the two major groups that had been at odds with each other for decades to reach a rare friendship. This is Japan's miracle and the advantage of its national character - it can unanimously deal with the outside world at critical moments, despite various internal contradictions.

    The Japanese army has no retreat: Daejeon is nearly 170 kilometers away from Seoul in the north, nearly 300 kilometers away from Busan in the south, and 170 kilometers away from Gwangju in the southwest. It is the transportation hub of southern Korea.  It is protected by the Jinjiang River in the east, north and west. The west Jinjiang River also leads directly to Qunshan Bay. It is a rare place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It can also receive Japanese naval supplies and support at any time.

    If such conditions cannot be maintained, as the commander, he has already exhausted his last effort.

    In this battle, the shocked Japanese troops on the West Route suffered the heaviest casualties, and the two elite divisions were almost crippled.  The main force led by Prince Kunihiko Kuni in the middle was not much better, and was chased and beaten by the People's Army. In the end, if the commander hadn't had a bright idea and put the Imperial Association Army division in charge of the rear, would they have been able to escape the pursuit of the People's Army?  Soldiers are still a big problem.

    Counting the casualties, this battle lasted from the middle of the month to the end of the month. There were two days of fighting and three days of rout. Both sides suffered more than 50,000 casualties.

    This number, in the People's Army, refers to all combat attrition, including light and serious wounded and sick. Under good medical conditions, more than half of the wounded soldiers still returned to the army soon, and after gaining actual combat experience, their combat capabilities have been further improved.  If the People's Army had not been on the offensive, there would not have been so many casualties;

    "The Japanese army completely refers to death and capture."  Under the full-scale advance of the People's Army, the Japanese troops who had nowhere to escape were either killed by the gun or became prisoners. This is certain.  All in all, 50,000 people were the Japanese army¡¯s losses after counting their heads.

    King Kunihiko Kuni urgently sent a distress message to the country: "The 500,000-strong Chinese army launched a surprise attack on our troops in the early morning of the 16th and defeated our army with the superior equipment of 2,000 cannons, hundreds of tanks and countless bombers.  . Our troops are now waiting for reinforcements on the Tianan front line. If more than twenty army divisions are not quickly mobilized, the Chinese army will completely wipe out our troops and occupy all of North Korea in a short period of time!

    The situation was extremely critical, and success or failure depended on it. The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Korean Army, King Kuni Kunghiko, cried out in tears.  "

    The whole country was shocked when he suffered another defeat on the Korean battlefield.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If the troops were lost in the Battle of Kwantung Prefecture and the Battle of Pyongyang, there will still be China.Our ancestors continue to ride on China's head and make irresponsible remarks. The Republic of China government under the leadership of the People's Party is not the late Qing government. I said this three years ago and I still say it now!

    These countries accuse China indiscriminately. Do they know how serious crimes Japan committed on the Korean battlefield?  As we all know, the League of Nations is still asking all countries to sign the Prisoner of War Convention, but just half a month ago, they killed more than 700 of our brave soldiers, and they were all seriously injured at that time!  "

    He picked up the "Yomiuri Shimbun" published in Japan and said loudly to the reporters and delegations from various countries present: "With such a government and such an army, evil people dare to complain first and accuse China of being shameless! And some people with ulterior motives  The government dares to respond, are you blinded by lard!"? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
