readx; What the major general said next to him was very clear that now the First Army on the front line of Anzhou and Gansu had actually fallen into a very dangerous situation, and the Fifth Division in Suchuan was blocked, while the Second Division and the Seventh Division had been pinned down by China's huge forces on the Anzhou front. The 8th Division of the www.biquge.info has been withdrawn from Anju and reinforced in Suchuan. As for the 3rd Division, it has always been on the Akutagawa side, and it is simply unable to break through the interception of the 17th Army of the Chinese Army and relieve the siege of Anzhou.

At this time, in fact, it was said that there was only one route for the First Army to break through, and that was to return south.

The First Army's attempt to evacuate from Anzhou had already begun when the Chinese First Armored Army broke through the defense line and moved southward, and it was at that time that the Fifth Division began to move south.

However, such a large-scale battle is not something that can be left if you want to go, and the battle on the Anzhou front is so fierce, and if the 2nd and 7th Divisions are a little slack, the huge forces of China on the opposite side will be overwhelmed, and finally a collapse situation will be formed.

Therefore, although they wanted to run away for a long time, the two divisions of the First Army still fought on the Anzhou front, and only the Eighth Division was sent south to reinforce the Fifth Division.

The encirclement said: "The First Army desperately tried to break through the encirclement, and the Third Army outside Pyongyang said that "the Third Army tried all its strength to counterattack and reopen the communication line from Pyongyang to Sucheon."

However, even though the Chinese First Armored Corps, which stood between the First Army and the Third Army, was already crumbling under the attack of more than 100,000 enemy troops, they still did not collapse.

In this battle, the armored forces not only demonstrated the strong combat effectiveness of rapid assault, but also the stubborn defense capability of the armored forces.

On 20 January, it had been six days since the Chinese First Panzer Army had cut off the line of communication from Pyongyang to Suchuan, and in the past few days, the Fifth Division in Suchuan had begun a large-scale counteroffensive after receiving reinforcements from the Eighth Division, and at this time, two divisions of the Chinese Seventeenth Army had also arrived at Suchuan and had a fierce confrontation with these two divisions.

The situation of the war has developed to such a point that in fact, it is said that 'if the First Army wants to break through the interception and break through, it must not only break through the First Panzer Corps of the Chinese Army, but also break through the interception of two divisions of the Chinese Seventeenth Army. At this time, if the First Army did not insist on breaking through to the south and turned to the eastern front to break through from the beginning, I am afraid that there would still be a glimmer of life, because one of the three main divisions of the Chinese Seventeenth Army in the east had arrived at Suchuan at that time, and there was another division in the direction of Akutagawa, and there was only one 39th Division on the other defensive lines of the vast eastern front.

It's a pity that they didn't do this in the first place, and chose to break through to the south.

When the Eighth Division launched another attack on the Chinese 39th Division, it said, "The headquarters of the First Army had already received an urgent telegram from Lieutenant General Jiro Tamon of the Second Division.

The telegram said that the frontal enemy in China had intensified its attack, and in the face of several times the enemy's attack, the 2nd Division had run out of ammunition and food, suffered heavy casualties, and had less than 8,000 men to fight.

A First Army with more than 100,000 troops wanted to break through and at the same time faced a frontal attack by the main Chinese forces, and it was impossible not to leave a blocking force to cover, and the 2nd and 7th Divisions of the Anzhou Front were responsible for this task.

Yesterday, the 7th Division also began to withdraw from the Anzhou front line and move south, and Lieutenant General Duomen Jiro of the 2nd Division took the initiative to ask to take on the task of breaking off.

The withdrawal of the 7th Division quickly caused the troops of the 14th Army and the 8th Army on the opposite side to react, and at this time the troops of the 6th Army had also arrived at the front line and joined the attack, facing an enemy who was several times superior to itself, and the desperate resistance of the 2nd Division could not withstand it for long.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of the 20th, the commander of the 2nd Division, Jiro Tamon, sent a telegram to the 1st Army Headquarters, claiming that the division had burned all the wing flags and was preparing for the final battle of Jade Crush.

At 5 p.m. on the 20th, Jiro Tamen sent another telegram to the military headquarters, saying that the enemy had reached a distance of less than 300 meters from the command post of the division headquarters, and that he himself had decided to apologize to the people.

At 5:20 p.m. on the 20th, Jiro Tamon completed the first and last seppuku in his life under the mediation of the adjutant, and the adjutant who made the mistake for him subseparated himself also committed suicide with a pistol.

In the command post of the 2nd Division, the sound of pistols rang out one after another, and at this time, the pistols and sabers equipped by the soldiers finally played their most important and only role: suicide!

Fifteen minutes later, several Chinese soldiers were the first to see the large number of corpses of this officer after committing suicide in this humble headquarters, they walked in with excitement and vigilance, raised the rifle bayonet in their hands, and saw that the one who could still breathe was a bayonet stabbed down, and then a corporal walked up to the corpse of Domen Jiro: "This guy is a big officer!" ”

Looking at the telegram in his hand, the three generals in Pyongyang City were full of grief and indignation: "The jade of the second division is broken!" ”

"Why can't we break through the enemy's interception, and if we don't break through the enemy's interception and break the first army out, then this kind of thing will continue to happen!"

Kanaya Fansan's anger obviously could not improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and he said: "The Third Army once again gathered three divisions to launch a counteroffensive against the First Armored Division and the Ninth Division of the Chinese First Armored Army, but like the previous two large-scale counteroffensives, it was able to break through the defensive line, but it was just one point short of being able to break through."

As time passed, the situation of the First Army on the Anzhou and Suchuan lines became worse and worse, and after the destruction of the Second Division, despair began to spread throughout the First Army, especially in the Seventh Division.

After the collapse of the Second Division, the Seventh Division has now become the northernmost unit, and it is also responsible for the task of breaking the rear, which means that the Seventh Division, like the Second Division, will be attacked by the main force of the Chinese First Army in the next step.

The Seventh Division will have to face the attack of more than 100,000 troops from the 14th, 8th, and 6th armies of China's First Group Army alone.

The disadvantage in strength was a serious blow to the confidence of the soldiers, and what made them even more desperate was that they had very little ammunition left in their hands, especially the artillery shells.

Under such circumstances, even the most optimistic person could not believe that the Seventh Division would be able to hold back the main force of the Chinese First Army.

It is said that it is broken, but in fact it is to exchange his own sacrifice for the breakthrough of the Eighth Division and the Fifth Division.

However, will the 8th and 5th Divisions be able to break through? This is a problem that the army himself has no confidence in.

In particular, in the headquarters of the First Group Army, Li Lianyang and several other people were in a very good mood in the past two days, and the telegram to Nanjing in China was also extremely optimistic.

It is claimed that the Battle of Anzhou can be resolved within half a month, and this battle can annihilate at least more than 150,000 enemy troops.

The Battle of Anju, which lasted for more than a month, has actually entered the final stage, and the most dangerous moment has passed, and the first three days after the First Panzer Army was blocked in Pyongyang and turned to attack westward, cutting off the supply line, the most dangerous moment is the most dangerous moment, and a careless person will not only not be able to encircle and annihilate the First Army, but will even send the First Panzer Army into it. However, after the first three days of hard fighting, the First Panzer Corps successfully persevered, and when the two divisions of the 17th Army also came up, they shared the attack of the 5th and 8th Divisions of the 1st Army from the direction of Suchon for the 1st Panzer Army, so that the 1st Panzer Army could resist the Pyongyang direction with all its strength.

By now, the safety of the First Panzer Army and the Seventeenth Army could be guaranteed, and at the same time, the First Army had been stopped.

"If nothing else, the destruction of the First Army should be within a few days." Lieutenant General Chen Yi said with a smile.

Huang Anyuan next to him also said: "Even if it takes a long time, I'm not afraid!" ”

"After this battle, our army should be able to have a few more generals!" When she said this, Chen Yi made no secret of the expectations in her heart.

Huang Anyuan is not easy to hit him, after all, among the many lieutenant generals in China, he is not looking forward to being able to enter the National Military Commission every day, he himself has this expectation, but he also knows that this kind of thing is really forced to come. There are only a few active generals in China now, and only one or two have been promoted in a few years, so it is difficult to predict whether they will be able to take their turn at the same time.

To a certain extent, the promotion of this level of general already involves the political level, not that you can be promoted if you have outstanding military achievements or deep qualifications, but it also depends on what status you have in Chen Jingyun's heart.

"The navy has already made a decision to raise the court, and I heard that Guan Shijie will also be promoted. But the specific time has to be seen, even if it is to rise, it is estimated that it will be after the war! Huang Anyuan said: "The navy has been promoted, and it is reasonable for our army to be promoted!" ”

The topic of the two of them was not good to continue, so Chen Yi changed the topic and said: "Now the First Armored Army has also suffered a lot of losses, hundreds of tanks have been lost, and other armored vehicles have lost even more, this needs to be replenished in time!" ”

Huang Anyuan said: "The Ordnance Department of the Group Army has urged the country to replenish the relevant equipment, and more than 50 tanks have been replenished in the past month, and a batch of T9 tanks will be replenished in a few days, but the First Armored Army is now deep in the front line, and it is not easy to replenish tanks." This group of newly arrived T9 Tank Army did not plan to transfer personnel to directly form a reading tank battalion to participate in the operation, and then join the First Panzer Army after arriving at the front line. ”

"Oh, it seems that those people in the equipment department also know the severity of the matter, and they didn't stubbornly detain all the T9 tanks and send them to Siberia!" Chen Yi said this, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the approach of the Equipment Department.

In fact, the Chinese Army began to test T9 tanks in small batches two or three years ago, although the number is very small, but it has always been the turn of the First Panzer Army stationed in the northeast, but the newly established Third Panzer Army in batches, in addition to some of the Second Panzer Corps sent to Siberia, to replace some of the old T4 and T5 tanks in the Second Panzer Army and the early models of T6 tanks.

After the outbreak of the war, the members of the State Military Commission predicted that the scale of the war would be extremely large, and there might even be a nationwide war of resistance, so after mobilization, the formation of the Third Panzer Army was accelerated, and the newly produced T9 tanks and many armored vehicles were equipped into the Third Panzer Army to accelerate the formation of the Third Panzer Army.

After a month of comprehensive transformation and production of the factory, the number of T9 tanks in the Wuhu Tank Arsenal rose rapidly, so while providing them to the Third Armored Army, it was also allocated to the First Armored Army for a part of the newly produced T9 tanks. The first batch of more than 30 T9 tanks was enough to form a T9 tank battalion.

However, before these T9 tanks reached the front line, the army in the direction of Anzhou and Suchuan had already fallen into a complete collapse.

On the 22nd, the 7th Division collapsed under the blows of the 8th Army of the Chinese First Army, and by the 23rd, it was said that the 7th Division could no longer be regrouped into formed units to resist.

On the 26th, the 47th Division of the 14th Army, that is, the troops of Major General Tang Qiang, arrived at the periphery of Suchuan, and began a fierce battle with a small number of "Ben", at the same time, the remaining 5th and 8th Divisions of the 1st Army finally changed the direction of the breakthrough and turned to the eastern front to break through, after a decisive battle, the 8th Division successfully broke through from the junction of the 38th and 39th Chinese Divisions, and the 5th Division remained in place as a cover force, and finally the division was completely annihilated.

When General Gimpok Beom, who was in Pyongyang, learned that the 14th Army and the 8th Army, the main forces of the Chinese First Army, had appeared in Sucheon, he knew that the First Army was finished.
