Chapter 1008 Blood for blood

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The first division in the encirclement was not Zhang Hanqing's bargaining chip from the beginning.  For this unit, the only order given by Zhang Hanqing and the Korean People's Army Headquarters is: total annihilation!

    Worried about the long nights and long dreams, the People's Army did not launch an offensive immediately after completing the initial siege. Instead, it mobilized troops and generals overnight and made sufficient preparations before launching brazenly.  The battle started from the narrowest point of the southern front and advanced northward. Under the cover of tanks and artillery, the infantry moved forward with fearless spirit.

    Since the First Division Headquarters had withdrawn "in time" before, the Japanese army had already fallen into a state of fighting on its own. Therefore, the People's Army had an absolute advantage, both locally and as a whole.

    Without the support of heavy weapons, on the contrary, when the People's Army infantry marched forward bravely accompanied by tanks and artillery, a one-sided situation appeared on the Japanese side. Basically, wherever they went, the Japanese soldiers there fled at the first touch.

    The myth of the invincibility of the locust army has been shattered, and the perception of the Chinese army¡¯s weak combat effectiveness has also been revisited.  It's not that Chinese soldiers can't fight. As long as we have guys in our hands, we can still beat the Japanese to keep them on the lookout!

    But even so, the Japanese army still showed a tenacious side.  Their escape was carried out purposefully under the orders of their superiors.  Rather than taking the risk of being annihilated sporadically, it is better to huddle together and fight in a group. Therefore, invariably, the Japanese troops slowly gathered from squadrons, squadrons, brigades to regiments, but they were also divided into several small positions.  The army was able to expand its defensive perimeter calmly.

    While the 27th and 29th armies were fighting bloody battles with the First Division, the Japanese troops of the three divisions to its left and right were waiting eagerly.  The two divisions on the left and right wanted to help but could not because they were entangled by the other two armies of the People's Army; the 10th Division was the general reserve of the Japanese army in Korea and was completely stunned by the overwhelming combat power of the People's Army.

    The commander of the Fan Division in Honzhuang is an old friend of Zhang Zuolin. He knows the combat capabilities of the two armies of the People's Army, and rashly bumping into them is just to add another Japanese army to the pocket of the People's Army.  He used the excuse of defending the strategic area of ??Pingze to step up defenses on his own side, ignoring Lieutenant General Wada Kameharu who strongly requested his reinforcements.

    For Shigeru Honjo, the fate of the besieged Japanese troops has been determined: either they will be saved after the armistice agreement is signed, or they will be annihilated or surrender.  He bet his money on China and Japan signing an armistice agreement soon, because according to his judgment, the Japanese army has already been overwhelmed and there is no hope of victory, so why bother to hold on?

    So he placed high hopes on Shigemitsu Aoi¡¯s role.  In fact, not only him, but Nanjiro, King Kunihiko Kuni and others are also eagerly waiting for this good news.

    But if Honjo Shige knew that the First Division had only one fate, and that was to be completely annihilated, would he stand by and watch?  It's happened, it's hard to comment on it.

    Anyway, with all parties watching, the First Division's territory is getting smaller and smaller. Although staying together for warmth will give people a sense of security, it also adds a lot to the efficiency of the People's Army artillery.  The dense infantry is the stage for artillery.

    The lines of defense were plowed through by the cannons of the People's Army artillery.  The 27th and 29th Divisions are the elites of the Chinese Army. Both armies and divisions are equipped with China's most advanced 125mm howitzers, which are incredibly powerful.  Countless Japanese soldiers were rushed out of the trenches and then buried deep in the soil.

    After the available lethal weapons are exploited, it is time for the People's Army tanks to rule the roost.

    On the continuous front, the Japanese army, which had lost its artillery wing, was completely helpless against them: the number of infantry artillery was not large, and it could barely deal with the T-20, but it could barely deal with the Type 27 with thickened front armor.  The scene that can usually be seen is that Japanese soldiers who are determined to die want to use infantry guns to fight tanks, but they are crushed into the mud by the rumbling tanks with their men and guns.

    The People's Army does not want to injure or surrender its troops. This has already been mobilized before the war.  Early Japanese soldiers rarely took prisoners, so there was absolutely no need to take risks.

    Because talking about kindness to Japanese veterans who have been thoroughly brainwashed by Bushido is the greatest irresponsibility for one's own life. Only dead Japanese soldiers are good and harmless soldiers, not to mention the "Kill Order" issued by the Marshal.  .

    Therefore, the statistics of the results of this battle are only the number of Japanese deaths and the distance of the battle line.

    The commander of the Kaifu Brigade, who was ordered to command the operations of the 1st Division on behalf of the Japanese Army, sent several rescue telegrams in succession to the Korean Japanese Army Headquarters, the General Staff Headquarters, and the Army Ministry.

    In the cable, Major General Kaifu pessimistically asserted that within three days, his troops would be completely wiped out: "Without heavy weapons such as cannons, lack of ammunition and medicine, and no weapons to counter tanks, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers is extremely low and has reached collapse.  the edge of!"

    What else can be done?  It was nothing more than the Ministry of War alerting the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister again and quickly passing the news to Aoi Shigemitsu.  This time, the instructions given to him by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs were short and urgent: "Agree to China's conditions,Drink tea.  As soon as the Japanese left, Zhang Hanqing walked in.

    "Brother Gu, are you sure that the convention has been signed?"

    ¡°Of course, at noon I just received a telegram from Shi Zhaoji, the minister to the UK and representative of the League of Nations, that the first convention on the treatment of prisoners of war was signed in Geneva by the United States, Germany, and middle-level signatories, and it will officially enter into force tomorrow!¡±

    "What a danger. It seems that the final battle against the First Division will be advanced to tonight." Zhang Hanqing made a beheading motion on Ji Yiqiao: "Seize this time difference and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop! Tell everyone on the front line  Troops, after tonight, there will be no big battles to fight, so they all fought with all their strength!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
