readx; Said: "In a small and exquisite courtyard on the outskirts of Tokyo, Rao is sitting in a wooden chamber drinking cold summer drinks, but Yusaku Uehara is still panting, Tokyo's summer is as hot as ever, he has always been afraid of the heat He has been hiding in this villa in the suburbs of Tokyo all summer, but he still can't stop the heat in his heart.

The war on the Korean side has not made progress for a long time, which has made him, the army boss, under huge pressure from the outside world, especially those in the navy, who shout every day that it was the army that provoked this war, and the army did nothing after provoking this war, and the war between Lushun and Korea has not made any progress for nearly a month, and the navy has taken on the combat mission in vain, and the navy lost in the sea battle of the East China Sea not long ago, and the navy sprinkled all its grievances on the army after the two battle cruisers were sunk, Not only that, but even ordinary citizens think that the army did not work hard in this war.

This situation makes Uehara Yusaku quite annoyed, if it is not for the navy for more than ten years, how can their army become like this, these years the navy has been built one by one, countless military funds have been taken away by the navy, the army only takes a little bit, and it is difficult to maintain let alone develop, take the tank as an example, the European war has shown the advantages of tanks to the world, and said, "The army itself is also calling for a large number of tanks to be equipped, But the army has no money left in its pockets, so it has not been able to equip a large number of tanks after several years.

After taking a sip of the rock sugar water, Yusaku Uehara sighed deeply, since the death of the army boss Aritomo Yamaguchi among the elders a few years ago, the army has no veterans who can handle it, and can only form a force with several marshals such as Yusaku Uehara as the core to compete with the political axe and the navy. The current marshal is not quite the same as the marshal of other countries, and the "marshal of the army" is only Saigo Takamori, and then the restructure revokes the marshal rank, and then in 1898 the marshal's office was re-established, and the veteran with outstanding achievements was transferred to the marshal's office, and the official name is "marshal army general" and "marshal admiral" In fact, this is a lifelong official rank and honorary title, which is a product of the integration of official positions and military ranks, not a simple military rank. In addition, the marshals are all old and retired before they can join the Marshal's Mansion, so they basically do not interfere in military affairs, but even if these marshals are retired, they are also hugely influential, just like Youpeng in Shan County back then, they continue to control power behind the scenes.

After the death of the elders of the older generation such as Yama Prefecture Youtomo, the Uehara faction with Uehara Yong as the core also appeared in the army.

"Marshal, the Second Army of Korea has come to report!" Just as Yusaku Uehara sighed, someone from outside came and handed him a battle report.

Not long after Yusaku Uehara read the battle report, his face became deeper and deeper: "How did Shirakawa do it, how could he let the people of Shinawa take a detour to the back!" ”

Just when Yusaku Uehara's face was dark, in Sinuiju, North Korea, in the headquarters of the Second Army of this army, Army General Shirakawa Yoshinori also had a gloomy face: "Can the more than 10,000 people of the Fifth Division on the other side of Uiju County just watch the Chinese pass in front of them and remain indifferent?" And what is going on with the 6th Division, how has it not yet intercepted the troops of the Chinese! ”

It was not for nothing that Shirakawa Yoshinori lost his temper, his Second Army was fighting fiercely with the [***] team in the area of Dandong and Sinuiju, and if a Chinese force of tens of thousands of people was inserted into his deep rear at this time, the consequences would not be good, so he was very dissatisfied with the inaction of the Fifth Division in Yiju County, and was full of accusations that the Sixth Division that went to reinforce failed to block the Chinese armored cluster.

Shut down

It's just that he can only talk about these accusations on his own, saying that the Fifth Division and the Sixth Division do not want to see the current situation, and the Fifth Division and the Sixth Division are already heroic fighters, and they are by no means the kind of National Revolutionary Army that turned around and ran away without fighting, and the 23rd Infantry Wing under the jurisdiction of the Sixth Division a few days ago was faced with three or four hundred times the superior strength and countless tanks, although it failed to hold on and retreated, it still stubbornly counterattacked and obtained certain results.

The army believes that its combat effectiveness is higher than that of the middle [***] team, and the army can also occupy a certain advantage in the case of the same number of troops in actual combat, but the army also has a huge disadvantage, that is, the disadvantage in troops.

Before the war, it was said that 'Ben was a division in Lushun, and there were three divisions in Korea. Since the beginning of 1923, when the situation between the two countries was tense, it was said that "Ben successively increased the number of troops to Korea to one division and then to Lushun and a mixed brigade, and after the outbreak of the war, the army was fully mobilized, and three divisions and regiments were successively reinforced to Korea, and the rest are still being mobilized in the country."

Therefore, at present, the army has a total of seven divisions in Korea, and Lushun has another division and a mixed brigade. Of the seven divisions in North Korea, one has just landed in Pusan, the other is in the Pyongyang area, and there is one in the northeast of Korea, so there are only four divisions and a number of cavalry and artillery units in Sinuiju and Uiju counties, with a total strength of about 100,000 troops. These 100,000 people were also scattered into a front within a radius of dozens of miles.

The four divisions of the Second Army were facing some units of the Eighth Army and the Tenth Army of the Chinese Army, and the Chinese troops directly facing them were more than eight infantry divisions, one cavalry division, and four artillery brigades, with a total strength of more than 150,000.

In terms of the number of troops, China has always had the upper hand, saying, "China has been increasing its troops, but it is also continuing to increase its troops."

Now there is another Chinese armored cluster on the side of Yiju County, and this armored cluster is a huge force of more than 40,000 people with a total strength of three divisions, not counting the tanks in the armored cluster, simply in terms of strength, it occupies an absolute advantage.

Although Ben still had the attitude that one soldier could fight ten Chinese soldiers at the beginning, he had already put down this kind of thinking after a month of fierce fighting in Dandong, and although he was arrogant, he was not a fool, and he was able to win the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, and the general was not a mediocre talent, and the quality of the senior officers in the army was far better than that of the national army under Chen Jingyun.

Therefore, the army did not have the kind of unbearable scene in the anti-Japanese war film and television drama in the month of the fierce battle in Dandong, on the contrary, the army fought quite well, otherwise it would not be able to block the attack of the 150,000 troops of the Eighth Army and the Tenth Army with a disadvantaged force of less than 100,000 troops, you must know that in fact, the Chinese troops in the Northeast Theater have even surpassed the firepower of the Northeast Theater in terms of firepower, and because of the tense situation in the Northeast Theater, military supplies are given priority to replenish. The few infantry divisions of the Chinese Army that were formed in 1922 were all in the Northeast Theater, not to mention that the Northeast occupied and concentrated as many as seven of China's ten artillery brigades.

It's just that although the army has performed well in traditional' warfare, it still has their limited surname, and this limited surname is manifested in the application of tanks.

Before the war, it was expected that China would send a large number of tanks to the war, so not only did it have the Sixth Division, a division equipped with a large number of anti-tank weapons, but also temporarily formed several anti-tank brigades to be attached to the North Korean side. It's just that he said, 'Ben's understanding of tanks still comes from the European war, and he thinks that the tanks in the Chinese army will be the same as in the European battlefield, scattering the tanks to the infantry divisions and covering the infantry attack.' In the Dandong War, the Eighth Army was indeed supported by a tank battalion, and put this tank battalion into the battlefield to support the infantry attack, and this allowed the army to confirm its conjecture. However, what the Army did not expect was that China's use of tanks was not like this at all, and they never imagined that China would concentrate tanks, let alone that China would concentrate tanks, trucks, etc., to form armored clusters.

So he said, 'The army has not yet reacted, the Gulouzi front line was broken through, and then the fifth division of Yizhou County was also firmly contained, and even the sixth division that advanced eastward to reinforce was hit by the Chinese armored group, and the defense line of the entire division did not hold down for even three days, after the Chinese armored group concentrated the concentrated attack of the first armored division, the first division, and the ninth division, the defense line of the sixth division was declared lost three days later, and the casualties and prisoners of the army in this battle were as high as more than 8,000 people. When the armored torrent of the armored cluster continued to attack westward, the 25th Division, which came to accept the prisoners, was extremely surprised to see more than 1,000 prisoners of the Yue army, and the soldiers of the Yue army were famous for fighting to the death, and it was easy to kill and wound, but it was really not an easy thing to capture so many Yue soldiers.

After the remnants of the Sixth Division retreated to Sinuiju, the Chinese armored group continued to advance westward, and the two divisions of the Eighth Army from Jiuliancheng on the other side of Uiju County were already crossing the river.

Since the campaign was designed to involve the troops of the Eighth Army and the Tenth Army, in order to facilitate command, Shen Gang, commander of the Northeast Theater Command, reported to the State Military Commission and organized the 13th Division, the 48th Division, the Ninth Artillery Brigade, and the 25th Division of the 10th Army deployed in the Jiuliancheng area into the Provisional First Corps, with Lieutenant General Situ Jun, chief of staff of the Northeast Theater, concurrently serving as the commander of the corps.
