Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Facing the overwhelming tank cluster, the Japanese First Division immediately fell into a huge crisis. In just half an hour, the main forward positions had been breached, and in some places they had been crushed by tanks several kilometers deep.
The most frightening thing is that some tanks are not in a hurry to advance in depth, but try to expand the results of the battle and attack horizontally along the anti-tank trenches.
Once the tanks broke through the trenches, they also posed a strong obstacle to the establishment of the Japanese infantry defense line. Because it was night, the originally inconvenient battlefield was shrouded in the sound of countless artillery fire. Basically, the communication at the brigade level had been cut off, and each infantry squadron quickly fell into a situation of fighting on its own.
It is said that they are fighting independently, that is, each department gathers the troops that can be contacted together and stands in the trenches of their respective defense areas, waiting for reinforcements. Thanks to the good training level of the Japanese army, especially the excellent personal abilities of the junior officers, although the entire battlefield was filled with gunfire, the Japanese defense line did not collapse across the board, but instead resisted in an organized manner in various places.
¡°But for the middle and high-ranking officers of the Japanese army, this situation is terrifying. We don¡¯t know the People¡¯s Army¡¯s strategic vision or strength, but the pressure from the front is visible. The combat capabilities of the People's Army on the opposite side were astonishing. They attacked from both sides, one on the left and the other on the other. They were unstoppable. They could only call for support from their neighbors.
The neighbor on the left is the 104th Division. This is a unit composed of retired veterans and some recruits. It has never seen blood, so Lieutenant General Wada Kameji does not place his hope on them, but only intends to let them give a feint to attack himself. The buffer of his subordinates made the left wing position moderately stable. His greatest hope is the 4th Division on the right.
The 4th Division is actually not capable of fighting. Osaka is a city with the strongest commercial atmosphere in Japan. Soldiers with merchant backgrounds are good at calculations and are often unwilling to sacrifice their lives. The 4th Division formed here has been known as the "Deceitful Merchant Division" due to its poor performance since the Russo-Japanese War. ". Only when things go smoothly can its bravery be fully demonstrated.
In the war some time ago, all the divisions lost troops and generals, including the 3rd Division, which is famous for fighting tough battles. On the contrary, the 4th Division was able to escape unscathed from all kinds of unfavorable situations with minimal losses, which can be regarded as a kind of ability.
"However, compared to the newly formed 104th Division, it is still one of the first seven divisions formed by the empire, and its equipment and training are excellent. As the saying goes, if the 1st Division is defeated, it will also be affected. Hishikari Takashi is not a short-sighted guy.
But now Hishikari Takashi has really tried his best. When the sound of artillery fire was heard from the 1st Division's position, he ordered the 4th Division to approach it cautiously.
But as soon as his army moved, an army from the opposite side inserted into the gap between the two teams. The exchange of fire has lasted for such a long time, and the middle and high-level leaders of both sides have been on good terms with each other for a long time. He knew that this was the 18th Army of the People's Army.
?According to pre-war research on Commander Shang Zhen, he was once a tiger general in the Jin army and a very capable officer in the People's Army. Although he was not from the Feng clan and joined the People's Army at the last moment, Zhang Hanqing's trust in him was unprecedented. In the North Korean offensive war, his army's performance was also quite eye-catching, and the transition between offense and defense was quite in place.
The existence of this army made Hisashi Karitaka dare not be careless.
Because almost at the same time, the three divisions of the 18th Army rolled over from several directions, with great potential to break through its defense line. When the equipment is roughly balanced, the People's Army, a full force of more than 47,000 people, is pressing across the line, enough to make the 22,000-man 4th Division breathless.
Therefore, even though Lieutenant General Wada Kameji personally called him, he still couldn't send even a single brigade to reinforce - he didn't know if he could protect himself, so what with this small amount of troops?
The final distress call went to the Japanese Korean Army Headquarters, and General Nanjiro personally answered the call.
"Wada-kun, are you sure this is a full-scale attack by the Chinese Army? There is no fighting on the eastern front, and no enemy traces have been found in the nearby Central | Central Government. The Chinese Army only launches a strong attack on you?" Nanjiro couldn't figure out the tactics of the People's Army.
"Hai! The two elite troops of China's 27th and 29th are attacking our army from the front. Their firepower is extremely powerful. They also dispatched a huge tank force! Our position cannot be held and we urgently need support!" Lieutenant General Wada Kameji Because of the critical situation, he spoke much faster than usual.
"You have to hold on to the position. We need to study and judge what the purpose of the Chinese army is? Could it be their usual method of siege and reinforcements!" Nanjiro has read many military books, and has really studied and judged the fighting style of the People's Army, and he has indeed discovered it. This is the opponent's tried and tested tactic.
Because the 1st Division is located on the left wing, it not only has the west coast of North Korea for support at sea, but also has reinforcements on the left and right. It is unreasonable for the People's Army to inexplicably attack it with heavy troops. First, the army itself is brave in style, and second, even if it captures its position, it will have little impact on the battle situation.Pyeongtaek has convenient transportation, and the newly transferred 10th Division and a brigade of the Marine Corps are stationed there.
Pingtaek is only twenty miles away from the sea, and the heavy artillery of the combined fleet can easily blast the pursuing troops into powder. This is not the law of war!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? knowing that the strategic goal cannot be achieved but still investing in the two northern heavy-armed forces that even the Japanese army is fearful of, what is the conspiracy behind it? Thinking that the young marshal is not far away in Seoul, he has no reason to fight for his own capital like this!
According to the research on the young marshal's military use, Zhang Hanqing basically used old-fashioned tactics, either besieging the city for reinforcements, or using heavy troops to kill chickens with a bull's-eye. Basically, he used superior forces to attack weak links. This method, which does not require much fighting talent, is particularly effective in dealing with the Japanese.
Because the Japanese Army also used this trick, but China was too powerful and there was no loophole for them to exploit.
This also shows the impact of a country¡¯s industrial strength on war. No matter how many methods you have and how good you are in fighting and strategizing, I only have one trick, and that is to rely on excellent equipment and larger numbers to overwhelm you. There aren't many tricks to follow, it's a conspiracy.
But the more this happens, the more overwhelming it becomes.
The advantage of the Japanese Army is that it is well-trained and therefore generally has strong combat effectiveness. The disadvantage is that it is impossible to maintain a large number of troops in peacetime. One result of this hard struggle on the front line is that the initial troops were able to fight to the death with the superior troops of the People's Army, but the newly recruited troops were much inferior in comparison.
This will be okay, because after all, the second round is mainly composed of retired personnel, and the third round is even worse.
The number of reserves in a country is also an important factor in determining whether it has lasting combat effectiveness. Unfortunately, China is a country with a large population. Japan considers the Korean battlefield to be a high-intensity battlefield. For China, after achieving a good start, the remaining The war is just a training exercise.
How many troops each military region sends will take half a year to rotate! In this time, millions of soldiers can be mobilized!
This allows Japan to fully understand what a big country with a vast territory is!
This battle was just Zhang Hanqing¡¯s attempt to vent his anger on his comrades who had been killed before the armistice, without any strategic intention. In his opinion, once the Japanese government agrees to its armistice conditions - and it will eventually agree, Deputy Commander Wang Meng and his comrades will not be able to rest in peace.
In this battle, the People's Army will use its unparalleled superior firepower to inflict maximum damage on the 1st Division, and vent the anger of the Chinese people against the Japanese army with steel and gunpowder.
That¡¯s all.
"If Nanjiro knew that he thought so much, he would be angry to death, and Lieutenant General Wada Kameji would also feel ashamed of his panic.
But at this moment, he was furious at Nanjiro's belated calmness: "Chief of Staff, our opponent is composed of two elite armies. Our defensive pressure is extremely heavy. We are helpless against China's tanks! I need heavy artillery. support, and the addition of the Empire¡¯s First Tank Regiment!¡±
His request was obviously too much, so that Nanjiro had to explain to him carefully: "Your Excellency, Commander of the Wada Division, the use of the Empire's 1st Tank Regiment must be absolutely cautious. This is our first armored force, and its relationship For the honor and disgrace of the Imperial Army, there can be no mistakes!
As for the heavy artillery, on this night, we cannot let them enter your position in time, nor can we guarantee their safety. But I promise, I will send them reinforcements as soon as daybreak! The current task of your department is to stop the China Army's attack at all costs. No matter what, the Imperial Army can no longer retreat! "
We can¡¯t blame Nanjiro for being stingy and cautious. In fact, the Japanese tank troops are too delicate, so that in the official history of the Japanese army, there have been many strange incidents of soldiers covering tanks. In particular, the Army spent a lot of money to build this force that has finally come to the forefront of armoring. It is even more expensive than gold. It is just an existence. If you want to use it, Nanjiro will probably have to ask for permission from the country first.
And the Japanese heavy artillery itself has insufficient traction, making it difficult to transport normally, let alone maneuvering in this icy and snowy night? At this time, the result of the backwardness of the automobile industry was reflected. At least the artillery of the People's Army could maneuver at any time - but if it was not able to fight, there was a big question mark. On the contrary, the corps and divisions of the 27th and 29th armies The artillery regiment can do it.
The elite is reflected here.
Wada Kameji was helpless, he knew that Nanjiro was telling the truth. No commander will easily divide his troops and add resources when the enemy's situation is unknown, especially when the opponent he faces has more obvious advantages.
¡°And he only received requests for help from the brigade commanders or wing commanders. On this night with inconvenient transportation, officers at all levels were unable to effectively detect their subordinates. It was normal for some chaos and emergency situations to occur.
With the combat effectiveness of the First Division, the situation will not worsen as the subordinates said. He himself shouted this, which was nothing more than a foreshadowing of the merits and demerits after the war.
The ministries have encountered too many defeats. There always seem to be unexpected battles on the Korean battlefield. His first choice can only be to defend. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Emergency situations are normal.
