Chapter 414: The Horse Treads the Yalu River (Part II)

Ji'an Town.

The sudden withdrawal of the Japanese army took the Northeast Army special combat team ambushed around by surprise. For the sake of prudence, they did not go in pursuit. It's still lurking.

Half an hour later, a large group of Japanese soldiers appeared on the official road. Although the formation of these soldiers was quite neat, there was a sense of panic in the whole army. The troops marched very fast, came to the town of Ji'an, and saw the town that had been reduced to ruins, this army did not stop, crossed the town, and advanced quickly.

Lei Hu, the captain of the special combat team, frowned and looked at the Japanese soldiers who were hurrying by, put down the binoculars, and his face was full of puzzlement.

"Commissar, what do you say is the matter with this little devil, why did he retreat in such a hurry?" Lei Hu couldn't figure it out, so he could only turn to the commissar for help.

"Looking at the current posture, the Japanese army should have lost on the front line. Now it is being withdrawn to the country. Political Commissar Ma Zhenhua's face was not very good-looking. Because of their misjudgment, they did not keep up when the Japanese command began to withdraw, and the command of the Japanese Korean Army was spared in vain.

"Fuck, I actually let the Japanese command withdraw. Damn, aren't we here for nothing? Lei Hu's face turned a little red. I don't know if it's anger or shame.

"Captain, now is not the time to be upset, we have missed the Japanese headquarters, and it is too late to pursue. According to the itinerary, the Japanese command may have withdrawn to the Yalu River. In the investigation, it is about to enter the territory of North Korea. Now the first thing we need to do is stay here and see if there are any worthwhile goals. Ma Zhenhua said.

"Alright! Grandma's. Why is this little devil so unresistant, we just arrived, and they ran away before we could figure out the situation. Lei Hu muttered quietly.

"Captain, look, there's another little devil here!" Ma Zhenhua's spirits were greatly lifted.

"Damn, this is a big army of little devils. There's not a lot of brigade left! The formation is all messed up, it seems that we have achieved a big victory on the front line! "Thunder Tiger is happy. Seeing the chaotic formation of the Japanese army, my heart was indescribably happy.

"Captain, look, there are high-ranking Japanese officers inside, my gut tells me. The one who was protected by layers was at least at the level of a brigade commander. Ma Zhenhua held the telescope and said excitedly.

"You're talking about the one in the middle of the team? Grandma's, isn't the high-ranking official of the little devil in a car? This one is a brigade commander at most. Lei Hu said.

"It's better not to take a car, just to be the target of our snipers." Ma Zhenhua said excitedly.

"Not bad. The special combat team was ordered to disperse, the snipers targeted the local officers, and the snipers were dispersed. A bloodthirsty look appeared on Lei Hu's face.

Poof!

A dull voice sounded, and the Japanese officer sitting on his horse fell silently.

The Japanese army, which was already panicked, was suddenly in chaos.

Poof, poof!

The dull sound was not heard at all in the chaotic ranks, but each shot took away an officer, and in the Japanese army, the uniforms of officers and soldiers were different and easily recognizable. In addition, the formation of the Japanese army was a little chaotic, and the officers were even more obvious.

"There is an ambush of the people, everyone run!" Silent killing is always the most test of courage, and no one knows whether it will be you who will be the next to meet the bullet.

The number of special operations teams is limited, and it is unlikely that they will be able to stop large forces. But this silent sniping effect is also obvious. This greatly slowed down the escape of the Japanese and made their formation more chaotic.

Of course, the Japanese army was not vegetarian either. In the face of this silent sniping, the officers of the Japanese army quickly changed into the clothes of ordinary soldiers, and then mixed in with the soldiers and rushed forward. As soon as this method was used, the officers were safe. But the soldiers suffered much more casualties. Unable to find the Japanese officers, the snipers of the Northeast Army aimed at the Japanese soldiers, who were all enemies anyway, and it was better to kill a small soldier than to get nothing. Snipers are cold-blooded killers. A ruthless man who treats human life as a mustard. In addition, the sniper carries plenty of ammunition and naturally incarnates the bloodthirsty Shura. With their sharp marksmanship, the special combat team was able to suppress a large number of Japanese troops in a short period of time.

However, after all, the number of special combat teams was limited, and after inflicting a lot of casualties on the Japanese army, they had no choice but to move when a larger force of the Japanese army rushed over. And this is the way for the Japanese army to retreat after all, and the Japanese army will continue to rush over. This is not a defensive terrain of the number, and the ability to hold back the enemy for a period of time has shown the horror of the combat effectiveness of the special combat team.

Seemingly apprehensive about the sniping of the special operations team, the Japanese army sent a brigade into the mountains, ready to kill the special operations team. At worst, it is necessary to contain the special combat team and prevent them from affecting the retreating army.

The special combat team that entered the mountains and forests played guerrilla warfare with the Japanese army's Soshan brigade. With camouflage and ample firepower, the special operations team not only attracted this group of Japanese troops deep into the mountains, but also continuously weakened the enemy's strength through guerrilla warfare.

The main force of the remnants of the 7th Division finally arrived in the small town of Ji'an, including the headquarters of the 7th Division.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the headquarters of the North Korean Army has been transferred, and we can rush to the Yalu River in one hour at most." Major General Ono Fengsi had a sad look on his face.

"Ohno-kun. Now is not the time to think about it, hurry up and urge the troops to speed up their advance, as long as they cross the Yalu River before dark, the Imperial Japanese Army will have a chance to make a comeback. Lieutenant General Yoshiko Akiyama said loudly.

At the same time, in the southern theater, the command of the Northeast Army.

"Report to the commander, I just received a telegram from the theater headquarters that the Japanese army in the southeast battlefield has collapsed on all fronts, and now the defeated troops are fleeing to the banks of the Yalu River, and the troops in the southeast theater are pursuing, and I believe that the Japanese troops in the southeast battlefield can be expelled today." Qian Zhuangfei, political commissar of the Southern Military Region, said excitedly.

"So fast? Not good! Ordered the front-line troops to closely monitor the 1st Division of the Japanese Army to prevent the Japanese from escaping. Zhen Zhen's face changed.

"That's right! I'm going to set it up right now. Qian Zhuangfei patted his head and said.

"Order all troops, cancel the original attack time, and be on standby at any time, waiting for the order from the headquarters to attack." Zhen Zhen said with a calm face.

If preparations were not made in advance, the Japanese 1st Division would probably have withdrawn on its own initiative, and their battle plan would have been flawed by that time.

"Commander, if the Japanese army is bent on escaping, I'm afraid that such a scattered formation will not be able to stop it!" Qian Zhuangfei said.

"Don't worry, it's nothing if the Japanese army wants to escape, we don't swallow the Japanese army in one bite, the troops we let out are like knives, and the Japanese army is a pig that can run, each of our knives is not heavy, but we can take a piece of meat from him. There are too many knives, and no matter how strong the boar is, it can only fall for me. Zhen Zhen said confidently.

"Yes!"

on the battlefield in the southeast. Liu Hei rode a military horse. There was a little depression in his expression. I had known that there would be such a chase operation, and when I went south, I should have taken the cavalry regiment of the Northeast Military Region to the south. In this battle with Japan in the southeastern theater, the cavalry hardly came in handy, and the Southeast Military Region also had the smallest cavalry units among the seven major military regions in the northeast, and the military horses they allocated were basically used for logistics baggage troops. After all, the Southeast Military District, which has high automatic firepower, puts great pressure on logistics. As Feng Yong continued to improve the degree of automatic firepower of the troops, the cavalry troops became more and more chicken. In addition, the terrain on the southeast battlefield was not suitable for cavalry deployment, so the Northeast Army did not have a large organized cavalry unit activity in the entire battlefield, except for a small number of cavalry left as a messenger and reconnaissance.

The Japanese cavalry also had very few to fight with. Especially at the beginning of the launch, after the Northeast Army showed strong automatic firepower, the North Korean Army used cavalry as a second-line force to assist in transporting grain and grass. After several ambushes by the elite small units of the Northeast Army, the cavalry units suffered heavy casualties but did not achieve much success, which made the North Korean army very dissatisfied with the cavalry units built with heavy money. In addition to the cavalry troops consumed much more than the infantry. There is a lot of pressure on logistics. As a result, the cavalry units were transferred back to Korea to assist the Korean local security forces in suppressing the Korean uprising.

When the Japanese army was victorious in the northeast, the surviving resistance groups in Korea were honestly like Sun Tzu. However, once the Northeast Army launched a large-scale counteroffensive on the battlefield and the Japanese army was defeated one after another, the resistance groups in Korea began to make trouble like chickens. Coupled with the instigation of agents of the Northeast Intelligence Agency, there are more and more resistance forces in North Korea. This greatly strained the Japanese garrison stationed in Korea.

At this time, it was a good choice to transfer the cavalry units of the chicken ribs back to the territory of Korea. After all, the Japanese army had been operating in Korea for several years and had a clear understanding of the internal situation, and the cavalry brigade was simply a nightmare for the Korean resistance. The Japanese army poured out its anger at the defeat on the Chinese battlefield on the heads of the Koreans. Many villages and towns in North Korea related to resistance organizations were slaughtered by the Japanese army, and for a time, bloody terror enveloped the entire territory of Korea. Even many of the leaders of the Korean resistance groups were afraid of the knife and axe, and ran to the northeast to take refuge before the Japanese army swept over.

"How far is it from the Yalu River?" Liu Hei asked in a deep voice.

"There are still more than ten miles. Commander, intelligence from the front, the Japanese army has almost 20,000 people have crossed the Yalu River. Those Japanese troops were destroying the ice on the river. Trying to stop us from passing. The herald said.

"Speed up. If you can catch a little devil, catch one! Liu Hei didn't care at all about the Japanese army's destruction of the ice on the Yalu River, and even thanked the little devil for his hard work. After all, the Northeast Army never thought of crossing the Yalu River into North Korea. Although North Korea has been a very obedient subject country of China since ancient times, the current domestic situation has not been sorted out. Naturally, I can't care about the life and death of those bullshit subject countries. There is an old Chinese saying that if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world. Now it is difficult for the Northeast to be good alone, and it is impossible to talk about helping the world at the same time.
