readx; Around Wonsan Port, a radius of about 20 miles is already covered with dense Japanese troops, and at the port wharf, there is a large number of soldiers who are boarding ships in a steady stream. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 At the same time, the sky was densely packed with Chinese planes, they continued to drop bombs, dive and strafe, and the shells fired by the Chinese artillery group in the distance continued to cross the air and fall into the Wonsan port area.

Explosions are heard almost all the time!

"Now the Yue army in the high mountain area has retreated, and the advance of our 36th Division has extended to Anbian on the southern defense line of the Yue army. In the Wenchuan area of the northern front, the 15th Division of the 13th Army of the Second Army had already broken the defense line of the Japanese Army, and it would not be long before it was able to cooperate with other troops to continue southward. According to the current situation, the army will not be able to resist for long! Li Lianyang, who was in Pyongyang, looked at the large map on the wall and said to Chen Yi beside him: "It's just that although our air force has also intercepted a certain number of transport ships, the retreat of the army is quite fast, and tens of thousands of people have been evacuated in the past few days!" If it drags on too long, it will make the army withdraw more people!' ”

The defeat of the Yuanshan army in the Yuanshan area was actually doomed when China broke through the Yue's army deployed on the outer defense line of Yuanshan, the Yuanshan defense line is not a defense line relying on the city, the defense line of Yuanshan is mainly built on the mountainous land on the periphery of Yuanshan, relying on the terrain of the mountains to build a defense line to intercept the attack of the Chinese troops, which also played a certain role in the early stage, but when China's military and firepower advantages are getting bigger and bigger, the army can not be stopped, and the outer mountain defense line is gradually occupied. Wonsan became a woman stripped naked, and there was no cover to stop the attack of the [***] team.

At first, the top brass of the army planned to firmly fix Wonsan and not retreat, trying to rely on Wonsan and Busan to regain the initiative in the Korean war, but no one dared to mention this idea after the outer defense line of Wonsan was broken through.

On March 2, the 36th Chinese Division overcame the southern defense line deployed by the Yue Army at Anbian, and then the main force of the Eighth Army, with the cooperation of the Sixth Army, advanced to the city of Yuanshan.

When the main force of the Chinese army approached the port of Wonsan, it was said that the warships that the navy had come to support also ventured close to the shore to carry out a large-scale bombardment of the land. As a result, the Eighth Army suffered certain losses in the operation on March 3, but soon the Chinese Air Force and Naval Aviation organized a large-scale air counterattack force, mainly with the Navy's attack aircraft group, supplemented by the Air Force Group, to carry out a large-scale air attack on the Wonsan Harbor Area's naval fleet.

Although the intensity of this air attack was not as strong as the air attack on Nagasaki, and it was not impossible to compare with the air attack intensity in the last naval and air battle, the total number of aircraft involved in the battle was not inferior to the power launched by four aircraft carriers.

In order to support operations in the Wonsan area, the naval aviation unit transferred several squadrons of land-based aircraft from various coastal areas in the country to form a temporary land-based wing to be stationed in Pyongyang, and a third carrier-based wing was also dispatched to Seoul.

There are two types of naval aviation, carrier-based aircraft units, and the other is land-based forces. The carrier-based aircraft unit, that is, the five carrier-based aircraft wings, are all equipped with carrier-based aircraft, and they are the main force of the navy and assume the heavy responsibility of the decisive battle of the fleet. The other is the land-based aviation unit, whose main task is to be responsible for reconnaissance in the coastal areas and the struggle for air supremacy, and at the same time to serve as the air protection task of the naval base, equipped with reconnaissance patrol planes, attack planes, and fighter planes, but these shore-based planes are quite scattered, basically scattered among the naval bases, and the force is not very strong.

The air defense of coastal cities is still dominated by the air force, and in normal times, naval aviation units do not participate in operations over land, and the air force is generally responsible for the air support of the army. For example, in the Korean war, the naval aviation did not intervene until the Wonsan operation, and in order to attack the warship in the port of Wonsan, the State Military Commission ordered the navy to send aviation units to the DPRK.

In addition to the more than 100 planes of the Navy, there are also a large number of aircraft of the Air Force, but the planes of the Air Force are mainly fighters and B4 bombers, and there are actually not many planes capable of attacking the sea, only some B7 bombers. Moreover, the Air Force's B7 bomber pilots usually train for land targets, and they will not train how to attack warships in the sea.

Therefore, although the number of planes of the Air Force is as high as several hundred, it is unable to pose too much threat to the warships, and the main force has to rely on the combat planes of the Navy to complete the attack.

On 3 and 4 March, naval air and air forces organized a large number of aircraft to carry out air raids on the fleet outside the harbor, sinking two destroyers and several transport ships and damaging a number of Japanese ships, forcing the naval fleet to temporarily retreat and only approach at night to provide artillery support to the land army, but this level of support was far from being able to stop the rapid advance of the Chinese army.

On March 6, the Eighth Army under the First Group Army of the Chinese Army conquered Yuanshan, and then the Sixth Army and the Seventeenth Army arrived one after another, except for a few troops in Yuanshan Harbor who boarded the ship and escaped, the rest were either killed or captured, and the news of the capture of Yuanshan did not last long, Li Lianyang quickly sent a telegram to Nanjing: "The Ministry of Labor finally lived up to the chairman's high expectations, conquered Yuanshan at noon today, and annihilated more than 100,000 enemies in a battle!" ”

It didn't take long for the telegram to be delivered to Chen Jingyun.

Chen Jingyun looked at the telegram in his hand, Rao is he is a determined person, but he can't help but smile: "Okay! He didn't disappoint me! ”

When he transferred Li Lianyang to serve as the commander of the First Group Army, he was still worried, but a series of battles proved that he was not wrong. In the Anju Campaign, the Pyongyang Campaign, and now the Wonsan Campaign, Li Lianyang led the troops to enter the DPRK through a series of battles, which had annihilated most of the main forces of the Yue army entering the DPRK.

Shen Gang also said with joy on his face: "According to the situation reported from the front, half of the 200,000 Yue troops who were originally cowering in the Yuanshan area were killed or wounded in the attack of our army, about 40,000 people escaped from the sea, and the number of captured by our army was as high as 40,000. ”

"With the addition of the Anju and Pyongyang battles, our army has annihilated at least 300,000 troops and captured about 50,000 prisoners!" The more than 300,000 people in Shen Gang's mouth are already the vast majority of the main force of the army stationed in North Korea.

In addition to the inadequate medical conditions of the army, the main reason was that the army did not have a large rear area, and the wounded could not be sent back to China for treatment in a timely manner, unlike China, which can send a large number of wounded back to China for treatment. In addition, after the defeat of the army, the proportion of suicides was quite high, which was reflected not only in the officers, but also in the soldiers, and many wounded soldiers who were unable to move often committed suicide on a large scale in order to avoid being captured and humiliated after the troops retreated.

In a temporary military field hospital in Wonsan Port alone, nearly 1,000 wounded soldiers committed suicide.

Of course, this kind of thing is not only in the army, in fact, the Chinese troops under the leadership of Chen Jingyun are also the same, whether it is within the military or the people, the surrender of the army is unbearable, even after the ammunition and food are exhausted, the military high-level and the public opinion of the people have to demand the besieged troops to put up the final resistance until Chengren, and the surrender under any reason and motive is unbearable.

Therefore, if they fall into a desperate situation in the battle, they will often choose to fight to the end and commit suicide, which is completely different from the Western army, otherwise after the entire Korean campaign, the Chinese captured Yue army will not only be more than 50,000 people, but at least more than 100,000.

"Now that Wonsan has been down, the next step is to take down Busan completely, and then with North Korea as a bridgehead, you can directly threaten the 'homeland!'" Shen Gang said.

Chen Jingyun nodded: "Yes, after Busan is taken, our army's air force can directly start from Busan to bomb the mainland!" ”

If the southern part of Korea were to be used as an air base after taking Busan, the air force bombers would be able to bomb the western part of the mainland and carry out large-scale bombing of the areas around Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Another extremely important thing is that after taking the southern part of Korea, the navy's warships will be able to rely on the cover of land-based aviation to directly compete with Ben for air and sea supremacy in the Tsushima Strait, so as to create the most favorable opportunity for the next possible landing on Jeju Island, the Tsushima Strait, and even the mainland of Korea.

Of course, landing on the mainland can only be thought about now, and it is absolutely impossible to really do it.

First of all, the navy cannot guarantee that it will be able to control the sea power, and it cannot even guarantee a safe passage through the Tsushima Strait, and although it is said that "the navy is unable to conduct a decisive battle with China's aircraft carrier formation in the open sea due to the lack of aircraft carriers, there is no problem in conducting defensive operations in the coastal areas with the support of land-based aviation."

In the Tsushima Strait, which is close to the mainland and at the same time narrow, it is difficult for China's aircraft carrier formation to give full play, but it is a great advantage for the battleship formation, which is why the Chinese Navy is reluctant to venture into the Tsushima Strait.

If the issue of sea supremacy is not serious, then the international reaction caused by China's landing on its own soil will require even people like Chen Jingyun to think twice.

In recent decades, China and Ben have always been two mutually hostile countries in East Asia, while Britain, Russia, and even the United States have taken advantage of the contradictions between China and the two countries to expand their interests in East Asia. Under such circumstances, Britain and the United States did not want either of the two countries to dominate, and the original attempt to annex the Liaodong Peninsula was prevented by the joint efforts of the three countries, and in 1923, China was also forced to hold peace talks with the Yue army under the intervention of the great powers, and returned Korea to the Yue Army.

This has fully demonstrated that they do not want either side of China and China to be completely defeated, and once one side is completely overpowered, then they will support the weaker side to re-form the balance of power in East Asia.

When China swept through the southern part of Korea, it had already received a mediation proposal from Britain, France, and even the United States, and this mediation would not come sooner or later, but at this time, it was obvious that it hoped that China would accept it if it saw good things in this war, and if China continued to fight and wanted to land in this war, I am afraid that Britain and the United States would regard China as the biggest enemy in East Asia, and then the British-Japanese alliance and even the United States alliance might appear, and this situation was absolutely unbearable for Chen Jingyun.

If you push Ben to the side of the United States or Great Britain, will you not turn yourself into an enemy of Britain and the United States, so that in the coming World War II, you will not have to unite with Germany against the Anglo-American alliance?"

Thinking of this possible surname, Chen Jingyun's scalp was a little numb.

In this war, the benefits must be reaped, but we can't push the words 'Ben to the side of Britain or the United States!'
