readx; In the rumbling artillery, the third company under the jurisdiction of the 132nd Infantry Battalion was facing the charge of hundreds of soldiers, and the company commander Captain Bai looked at the seemingly mountainous army outside with a deep face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

His third company was here the day before yesterday, and he received an order to defend this position with a company that also belonged to the 132nd Infantry Battalion, but last night the 133rd Infantry Battalion was attacked by a whole wing of the Japanese army, and the regimental headquarters ordered to bypass the 132nd Battalion and send troops to reinforce the 133rd Battalion, so the first company was transferred, so that he was the only third company in this huge defensive line, and the strength of the Yue Army on the opposite side was not only not reduced but increased slightly.

At noon today, the army began to launch an all-round offensive on a large scale, and the three heavy machine guns reinforced by the battalion headquarters were also destroyed not long ago, and in this era of heavy reliance on heavy machine guns in defensive operations, the loss of one heavy machine gun is equivalent to the loss of one-third of the defensive capability. Although his third company still had a number of light machine guns and three mortars, these weapons were far less effective than heavy machine guns when used for defensive operations.

Faced with at least three times the enemy's attack, Captain Bai's third company was soon somewhat unstoppable, and after half a day of fierce fighting, it was forced to abandon the first line of defense and fully retreat into the second line of defense.

However, Captain Bai sent people to the battalion headquarters to ask for reinforcements, but the answer was only two words, no, no reinforcements, no heavy weapons reinforcements.

In fact, the entire 132nd Battalion was under great pressure, and although there were not as many troops attacking them as one wing, there were almost 2,000 people.

When you zoom in to the 11th Regiment and even the entire First Division, you will find that the First Division undertook the attack of at least 30,000 Japanese troops, and the front-line troops even discovered the numbers of the three Japanese divisions.

While the First Division was fighting hard and blocked the attack of at least half of the remnants of the main force of the Second Army, the First Panzer Division and the Ninth Division in the armored cluster were more than ten miles away from the First Division.

Zuo Yugang has always firmly believed that offense is the best defense, especially for armored forces with huge offensive capabilities, passive defense is never so effective as active attack.

In order to create an opportunity for the main force, Zuo Yugang had already strictly ordered the first division to hold on to the spot to block the attack of the Yue army, and then he led the main force of the armored force to go around the north, and then break through from the flank.

It was precisely because of Zuo Yugang's strategy that the First Division alone undertook the task of intercepting the Yue army. Fortunately, the first division is not an ordinary infantry division, but a motorized infantry division, and its firepower configuration is far stronger than that of ordinary infantry divisions, otherwise it is estimated that it will not be able to stop it for two days.

Zuo Yugang looked at the reconnaissance report in his hand and said: "The air force has confirmed that the main force of the Second Army of the Yue Army is about fifteen kilometers west of us, and this is a blank area for the main force of the Yue Army and the rear line!" ”

Zuo Yugang casually drew a circle on the map on the desktop, and at this time, the chief of staff next to him, Major General Cao Yangqing, said: "Commander, I think the time is almost up, as long as our army moves fast enough, it can completely cut the enemy's second army into two in a short time, and when the time comes, the army can't take care of each other at the end, so it will be much easier to fight, and the troops of the temporary first corps are coming quickly, and their forward force The 13th Division is already less than 30 kilometers behind the Yue army, as long as we stop the Yue army for two days, The Thirteenth Division would be able to catch up. And another division was able to arrive in three days. When the time comes, when the main forces of the Provisional First Corps and the Eighth Army arrive, this will say, 'This Second Army will be difficult to fly even if it has wings!' ”

Speaking of this, Cao Yangqing, who is the chief of staff, felt the need to remind Zuo Yugang: "And the first division has been fighting for three days, if the time is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that the first division will also be very difficult!" ”

Cao Yangqing almost didn't say directly, if the First Armored Division and the Ninth Division continued to stand still, causing the First Division to suffer heavy losses in the reading battle, even if the main force of the armored cluster really defeated the Second Army, it would be blamed.

You must know that there are only two motorized infantry divisions in China in this armored cluster now, whether it is an armored division or a motorized infantry division, which is built by the army with a lot of money, and if the loss is too large, even if the battle is won, there will be no good fruit to eat. Before coming to serve as the chief of staff of this armored group, Shen Gang had explained to him, don't forget that Zuo Yugang came with a surname, otherwise Zuo Yugang would have no good fruit to eat if something happened at that time, but he Cao Yangqing was also to blame.

Zuo Yugang is not really a stubborn person, although his surname is a little more irritable, and his command style is also more fierce, but it does not mean that he is a brave and reckless man, in fact, he is a bold and thoughtful kind when he commands the battle, otherwise he would not have led the troops all the way to win the battle to this day, and those brainless generals have long been swept away by the big waves and sand to the point where they don't know where.

Although Cao Yangqing reminded on the side, Zuo Yugang still thought about it for a long time before he took his eyes off the map, and then said: "Chief of Staff, pass the order and prepare to attack!" ”

On the morning of 11 August, Zuo Yugang led the main force of the armored group, the First Armored Division and the Ninth Division, to attack from the north, and in just one day, they successively broke through the two lines of defense on the north side of the Japanese army, and by the morning of August 11, the First Armored Division and the Ninth Division had successfully cut off the waist of the Second Army, and in the south were about 30,000 people from the three divisions of the Yue Army, which had originally attacked the First Division, and in the north were the remaining 30,000 people of the Second Army.

After the armored group broke off the Second Army, it did not adopt passive defense, but adopted the mode of continuing to attack actively, but this time it did not attack the Second Army in the north, but attacked to the south, trying to defeat the more than 30,000 troops in the south together with the First Division.

At this time, Mamoru Imotonomiya, who had once again realized the crisis, urgently ordered the troops of the headquarters to attack southward, intending to reunite with the more than 30,000 troops on the front line.

It's just that the time is already too late, and after trying to launch a large-scale attack on the main force of the armored cluster, the more than 30,000 people in the headquarters of the Rihongu Shomasa found that they could not effectively break through, and after hesitating for such a day, the 13th Division of the Provisional First Corps had already bitten the tail of the headquarters of the Second Army.

Not only was the retreat intercepted, but even the troops were split in two, and after Itori Hongu Morimasa realized that it might never be possible for his second army to cross the Taedong River and return to Busan.

In a telegram sent to the General Staff Headquarters of the Army on 12 August, he said that the Second Army had reached the last moment of its survival, and that the Second Army was bound to fight hard to serve the Imperial State...... On the 13th, after learning that the remnants of the 6th Division in the Southern Corps had been destroyed, the commander of the division, Lieutenant General Yuzuhara Wanzo, committed suicide by disembowelment, the telegram sent to the country was already full of tragic tones, saying that the Second Army was preparing to break through to the southeast, and that the original god Amaterasu blessed Yunyun...... On the 15th, the Second Army failed to break through, and the Ninth Division, which was the vanguard of the breakout, was jointly attacked by the Eighth Army and the armored cluster, and under the absolute superiority of the Chinese Army, the Ninth Division was forced to retreat to its original position, and at this time, in addition to the two divisions under the jurisdiction of the Tenth Army in the northeast of Korea, the main Chinese forces in the eastern part of Korea had reached more than ten divisions, and as the main forces of the Eighth Army and the Provisional First Corps arrived on the periphery of Pyongyang one after another, they were divided and surrounded. The remnants of the Second Army, 50,000 men, were already surrounded by up to 200,000 troops. At this time, the armored group, which had been fighting for many days, did not continue to participate in the encirclement operation, but withdrew to Pyongyang and rested for two days before continuing to the south, aiming directly at Busan, North Korea.

On the 16th, it was said, "The Second Army has launched a second breakthrough, this time not to the southeast, but to the western coast, and this Navy has already sent a considerable number of warships and transports to the sea west of Pyongyang, and even sent a brigade of troops to land ashore." However, it was said that the Second Army was more than 40 kilometers away from the sea at this time, and it was impossible to break out of the encirclement and reach the sea under the interception of the Chinese Eighth Army.

When the breakthrough failed again, the telegram sent by Mamoru Ithoma to the country said that the whole army had run out of ammunition and food, but the Second Army would never compromise, saying that the Second Army would hold on to the spot and wait for reinforcements.

At the beginning, the news of the defeat of the Second Army could still be hidden, but with the surroundment of the remnants of the Second Army, there were large-scale accusations within the Army, and the news that the remnants of the Second Army were surrounded was flying all over the sky in a few days. Those who don't speak with a backache scolded the generals of the army for being traitors, and they were all about to be punished by God, and at this time, even the army boss Yusaku Uehara did not dare to speak easily, so as not to let the anger of the people burn on himself.

In the face of the encirclement of the Second Army, the Ben Army also wanted to prevent the rescue, but in a short period of time, let the Ben go there to make up a large army to go to North Korea for reinforcements, you must know that the current Second Army has gathered more than one-third of the troops of the Ben before the war, and now it is said that although Ben has some troops in Taiwan, New Guinea and the country, it is difficult to send up to 100,000 troops to North Korea, and as for those mobilized troops are still training, it is useless to rush to send them.

Moreover, the top brass of the army is also worried that once China seizes Korea, the next step will be to register on the mainland through the Tsushima Strait, although the navy group swears that the Chinese will never be able to land on the mainland through the interception of the imperial navy, but the army has to be defended, so the country cannot leave no troops at all.

However, no matter how difficult it is, we can't sit idly by and watch the destruction of the Second Army, so we say: 'This army urgently transferred a part of the troops from Lushun and China to reinforce, and this reinforcement even landed directly at the mouth of the Datong River, but the reinforcements went to Calay with more than 10,000 points, and in the face of China's encirclement of more than 200,000 troops, there was nothing to be done.

On August 19, after a long period of encirclement, the Chinese Eighth Army and the Provisional First Corps finally launched an all-out attack on the Yue army in the encirclement.

The final general attack has turned into a massacre, the soldiers do not surrender or even the wounded soldiers lying on the ground are holding rifles without bullets and using bayonets to attack the Chinese soldiers, the Chinese soldiers for their own safety are already regardless of whether they are wounded or not, and they shoot when they find that they can move, and they do not even accept even a prisoner. And once, not a single captive was accepted.

At eleven o'clock in the morning of the 20th, when the vanguard of the Eighth Army was only more than 100 meters away from the headquarters of the Second Army, Mamoru Rimotonomiya sent a final telegram to the country, saying that the Second Army had prepared all the jade pieces! After sending this jade broken telegram to the country, General Rihonnomiya Morimasa died by seppuku with the assistance of the wrong person!

The besieged said, 'All the more than 60,000 people of the Second Army were killed, and none of them survived!'
