Chapter 957 Determination for War

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After pro-China figures supported by Zhang Hanqing advocated the restoration of China's suzerainty in North Korea, the Japanese government felt tremendous pressure.  Once upon a time, they wanted to force China to withdraw from the Korean Peninsula through a victory. Of course, the dream of dominating the Kanto State is no longer a reality. This is no longer realistic.

    If there is no big victory in North Korea, given the organizational capabilities of the People's Party and the Chinese government and North Korea's traditional dependence on China, it is not impossible for it to join China and become a province.  For China, North Korea is too important, and the same is true for Japan.  It can be said that as long as North Korea is in China's hands, Japan's plan to "go north" cannot be implemented.

    So Japan will never give in.  Although the Japanese occupation of Korea was a form of colonization in a complete sense, Japan's approach to North and South Korea was different.  The north is rich in resources, so northern Korea is built as a heavy industrial base by the Japanese government. Although most of them are supporting facilities for mineral development, after all, a lot of money has been spent;

    In contrast, North Korea in the south is mainly agricultural and has not benefited much from industrial development.  The Sino-Japanese war not only enabled China to gain the industrially strong southern Manchuria region, but also caused Japan to lose the resource areas it had been operating in for many years, resulting in huge losses.

    This is why Nanjiro gathered Japan's most elite troops and the strongest support to show off the outcome with the Chinese and Korean troops.  According to its domestic economic situation, there are already signs of depression. If it cannot win the battle within three months, just delaying it may plunge the Japanese economy into an abyss.

    This is why Zhang Hanqing and others decided to replace offense with defense and seize the strategic initiative.  In addition, winter is coming in North Korea. Digging trenches in advance is equivalent to building a nest in the snowy winter. It is better than sleeping in the wilderness when it is freezing and snowy, right?

    Both sides nervously collected intelligence, boosted morale, and made various preparations for attack and defense.  The war is coming, but there is rare peace on the front line.

    If you look at it from the air, you can see a steaming scene on a long side of China's positions: a spider web of trenches, many artillery positions built with concrete fortifications, machine gun positions intertwined, infantry bunkers and dense barbed wire as far as the eye can see.  To the edge.  If you look further back, you will see that ten kilometers away are China's armored forces and long-range heavy artillery, which can provide support to the front line at any time.

    China¡¯s defense formation can be described as an iron barrel.

    The Japanese court decided to choose Yuanzhou as the breakthrough point.  First, it is located right in the middle of central Korea. After a breakthrough, it is easy to carry out suppressive attacks from the east and west with heavy troop groups.  Not far away from him is the Han River to the west, and not far from the mountains to the east. It is not easy for the People's Army on both sides to rescue him.  In addition, the south of the city is the second attack point.

    Of course, in order to create a sudden attack, the Japanese army and navy conducted a ten-minute feint attack at Anyang in Ganghwa Bay on November 15.

    An army wing, a Marine group and more than ten warships participated in the attack.  Knowing that the People's Army has built a shore-based fort in Incheon Port, the battleships Ise and Fuso suppressed the fort with naval gunfire from a distance, and other warships fired at the People's Army positions in the open sea.

    Since they are all artillery strikes with maximum range, the accuracy and results can be known.  But the Japanese army didn't take it seriously. All they wanted was to attract the attention of the People's Army.  If part of the troops can be mobilized here, the main force of the 1st Front Army will be more certain to break through.

    The roar of cannons can be heard dozens of miles away.

    This is the defense line of the 332nd Regiment of the 111th Division of Wang Yongsheng¡¯s 37th Army.  Before the war, the Chaosi issued special political mobilization and combat orders. Whether they could adhere to them successfully would mean the final victory of the Korean War.

    This war will determine the future trend of the Korean Peninsula. It is a crossroads for whether China can gain more than ten years of economic development. It is also a turning point for whether China can get rid of decades of bullying by foreign powers. Therefore, no unit must lose any piece of it for any reason.  position.

    It is expected that the firepower of the Japanese army will be greatly enhanced. According to the Japanese army's traditional offensive combat method of "one bomb, two bombs and three attacks", in order to reduce the fearless losses in the first round as much as possible, each army and division only reserved on the front line  There are limited men and horses, and a large number of reserves are arranged in the rear to ensure that there are troops to carry out counterattacks at any time to achieve the purpose of holding on to the position.

    Therefore, although the caliber of the guns on the Japanese battleships was as large as 356mm, and each bomb produced a large vibration of hundreds of meters in radius, only a small number of them were able to hit the position in the end, and the casualties caused were minimal.  It can be seen from this that the shore artillery positions built by the People's Army have a great impact on its warships, which is a good explanation of what it means to be barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes

    Because everything south of the Han River is classified as a military zone, and almost no one except military personnel enters or exits within the area of ??more than ten kilometers wide, it is difficult for the Japanese army to understand the situation of the People's Army's deployment. Most of the time, it is difficult to understand the situation of the People's Army's mobilization.  We can only rely on telescopes, and occasionally a few reconnaissance planes appear.?, the young marshal still admires her very much, and often invites her to participate in some social occasions without hesitation.  At this time, she looked gentle and delicate on the outside, but she was constantly calculating on the inside.

    No, when representatives from Britain, the United States, Italy and other countries asked Zhang Hanqing "whether China intends to resume its status as a suzerain over North Korea," the young marshal smiled openly and said, "I respect the choice of the North Korean people."

    When Ciano asked suspiciously whether China could control the situation in northern Korea, the young marshal said confidently: "We have a support command of more than 200,000 people in the rear, and we will send some troops in the future.  Entering North Korea, achieving military control in a short period of time and then establishing civilian politics on this basis is just around the corner."

    The speaker has no intention of listening, but when this sentence was transmitted to the Japanese military headquarters, there was another interpretation: "More than 200,000 people, that is, at least 5 armies are arranged on the second line, so the troops on the front line are not  There will be more than 6 armies, because at least one general reserve will be arranged. Our 300,000 versus 300,000 people will be defeated one by one, which will form a local advantage of having more and less. This battle is worth fighting."
