Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the early morning of November 16, the weather was slightly cloudy.

    A burst of sharp artillery fire broke the silence before dawn. On the vast hilly ground five miles south of Wonju City, the Japanese army launched artillery preparations before the attack.

    Ten years have passed since the First World War, and the Japanese Army¡¯s combat mode is still at the level it was ten years ago, or even at the beginning of the First World War.  If there is any change, it is that the Japanese army no longer blindly uses the "human sea tactics" first, but on the basis of artillery bombardment.

    At the same time as the shelling, 24 aircraft of the Japanese 2nd Aviation Group, which was ordered to bomb the front and rear positions of the People's Army, also rushed to the battlefield and began the Japanese army's integrated air-ground operations.

    The 3rd Division is responsible for the main offensive task.

    This division was disgraced due to the complete capture of a regiment flag in the Battle of Jinhua. The division commander Anman Qinyi, who felt deeply guilty, was ordered to be the commander of the 1st Front Army because of his bravery and proficiency in fighting.  , but his heart was still heavy, and he felt that if he did not work hard, it would not be enough to wash away this crime, so he decided to make his headquarters a vanguard before the war.

    The brainwashed Japanese army gave full play to their spirit of fearing neither death nor fatigue. When the first round of shelling was completed and the artillery was about to carry out extended firing, they quickly launched a cluster charge.  Based on the squadron, they advanced in a straight line on a three-kilometer-long front.  According to the defined mission, they are to open the defense line of the People's Army in this wave-like attack.

    The largest hand-to-hand combat between Asian armies after the Russo-Japanese War began, but this battle was fought so hard that no one could have imagined.

    The Japanese army chose this place as a breakthrough point, not only because of its strategic significance, but also because the enemy on the opposite side was the 24th Army, a new force entering the DPRK.  In their opinion, the armies that had withstood the previous rounds of fierce battles all performed well, and they all fought bloody and majestic battles, even though they were all injured.

    On the contrary, this fully-organized unit is the easiest to chew on in theory - the difference between training and actual combat is between heaven and earth.  Imagine the feeling of stabbing a dummy with a bayonet and piercing the belly of a real person. Even the Japanese soldiers, who have always killed without blinking an eye, had various reactions when they killed for the first time: incontinence, vomiting, crying, and so on.  .  Moreover, the psychological quality of the recruits is relatively poor, and they also lack battlefield experience.  It is relatively easy for such a force to break through.

    ???????????????????????????????????This battle is aimed at breakthrough, and there is no need to risk blaspheming the spirit of Bushido.

    But they forgot that this army was recently transferred from the Beijing Military Region by Zhang Hanqing.  There are so many troops in the country, and if you don't choose others to choose it, will a young commander who has experienced many battlefield tests have no purpose?  If they could travel back in time, they should know that the commander who led this army, Fu Zuoyi, was famous for being good at defense. Both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party felt the same way!

    Due to the dense trenches, the impact of the first round of shelling on the ground was minimal.  If there was any result, it was that the barbed wire fence at the front was almost flattened, and the blast of air sent smoke and dust all over the sky, making it almost suffocating and deafening.

    "It's all in vain, I've been busy all day," Senior Soldier Daiki spat out a mouthful of muddy saliva angrily, and was startled to sweat.  In the sudden attack just now, fortunately the experienced senior squad leader raised his hand and pushed his head to the ground to avoid being injured by the burst of shrapnel, but it was inevitable to eat ashes.

    The old squad leader¡¯s surname is Shi, and he is a veteran who has experienced the Zhili-Fengtian War.  In the People's Army, there are not many soldiers with such experience who have still "conceded" to the position of squad leader for more than five years. After several major military expansions, as long as officers still stay in the People's Army system, their military ranks have been reduced.  It is rising sizzlingly.

    It is not uncommon for squad leaders to be promoted directly to platoon commander, and for platoon commanders to be promoted directly to company commander. Even the original regiment commander was a division commander after expanding the division into an army.  Later, another round of literacy campaigns was launched. Those who had not graduated from primary school or were unable to complete the subjects required by ordinary military schools after training were arranged to work in local places - there were also a large number of local dignitaries.

    Squad Leader Shi had feelings for the army, and it took him several years to barely reach the level of literacy of more than 1,000 people. Anyway, he finally stayed, but because he failed to pass the military school training selection test, he stayed at the "Mother of Soldiers"  position.

    The person who invented this word was not kidding, because it was the young marshal who said it.  After the political work system was established, he talked about the important position of the squad leader in the army in the training of officers at all levels and in his famous speech "Building a New Army under New Situations":

    "The squad leader is the mother of soldiers, and a squad is a small strategic unit. Only when the backbone team of squad leaders is strengthened can the grassroots level be truly strong. Four people know where the soldiers are, what they are doing, what they are thinking, and what they need at any time, and one can follow  "Ideological work and management work must keep up."

    Squad leader Shi is not good at studies, but he leads troops like a nephew, and only manages theHowever, not everyone was red-eyed. At least the chief of staff of the division felt that the opponent was not a weak brigade as imagined, but was clearly an old team with considerable combat effectiveness and combat experience.  But the result of intelligence detection was that the other party was a new army!

    Not only him, when the report of tens of thousands of casualties was sent to the front army commander An Manqinyi, he almost did not believe it was true.  The two-hour attack focused on more than 800 artillery pieces and superior air power, and the result turned out to be like this!

    The heavy losses surprised Anman Qinyi and several other division commanders who were watching the battle from behind. They did not expect that the People's Army's attack was quite sharp, but its defense was also so good.  I wanted to pick up a soft persimmon and squeeze it, but who knew I would actually kick it on the iron plate!

    However, the battle around it has already begun, and all divisions have launched according to the scheduled plan. Now it is a carriage going down a steep slope, and it can't stop even if it wants to.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
