"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! ”

On the position of the 2nd Battalion of the 32nd Infantry Regiment, six 120-mm heavy mortars of the division's reconnaissance battalion were launching a fierce artillery attack on the Japanese troops on the river beach.

"Hey, dog's day's little devil, it's time for them to taste our awesomeness." Major Li Zhenwu, the commander of the 2nd Battalion, couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the Japanese soldiers who were being bombed and cried for their fathers and mothers. The artillery platoon of the 2nd battalion had been knocked out by the Japanese howitzers in the previous battle, and none of the six 120-mm heavy mortars remained, which made Li Zhenwu very distressed.

"Battalion commander, the artillery of the little devils has been suppressed by us. This time, see how we clean them up. Vice President Captain Liu Hui was also full of smiles. With the support of the divisional reconnaissance battalion, the position of the 2nd battalion can be described as strong. Although, the Japanese army has another wing to cross the river. However, without the threat of Japanese artillery, the Jilin Army could completely rely on its powerful firepower to deal with these Japanese troops.

"Warriors of the Empire, attack!" On the river beach, a Japanese second lieutenant waved the command knife in his hand and shouted at his subordinates.

Dozens of Japanese soldiers rushed to the defense line of the Jilin Army.

"Da Da Da!" A light machine gun poured fire on the group of little devils, and the dense bullets knocked several Japanese soldiers rushing in front to the ground.

However, the magazine capacity of the light machine gun was too small, and twenty bullets, if fired continuously, ran out in a few seconds. Thankfully, each LMG has a spare magazine, and the Heavy can switch to one in a matter of seconds and continue firing.

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

The Japanese soldiers also returned fire with rifles in their hands, and the bullets hit the trenches, splashing a cloud of dust.

"Phew!" A sniper spat out the mud and sand from his mouth and slipped the head of the Japanese second lieutenant officer into the scope.

"Bang!" A crisp gunshot rang out, and I saw a thumb-sized bullet hole appear in the devil's second lieutenant's forehead, and red and white mixed liquid sprayed out of the bullet hole. His body also fell heavily on the river beach.

Fierce fighting continued, in order to break through the defense line of the 32nd Infantry Regiment, the Japanese army had already invested two infantry wings, and the front-line combat troops crossing the river alone amounted to more than 5,700 people. It can be said that the main forces of the 6th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army have already been thrown into this attack. If the 32nd Infantry Regiment had not been able to break through the defensive lines, the entire brigade would have been disabled.

In fact, the strength of the 32nd Infantry Regiment on the defensive line was no less than that of the Japanese. In particular, after the divisional reconnaissance battalion was replenished, in terms of troops, it was not much less than that of the Japanese army. However, in the early days of the battle, it was frantically hit by Japanese artillery fire and suffered heavy losses, which almost caused the defense line to collapse. When the Japanese artillery fire was suppressed, it was undoubtedly unlikely that the Japanese would want to break through the defensive line of the 32nd Infantry Regiment. Especially in the face of a network of crossfire consisting of heavy machine guns and light machine guns, the Japanese army was nothing more than a corpse left on the battlefield. This was tested as early as the Russo-Japanese War.

"Damn, how can this be? And what about our artillery? Why not keep firing? Major General Toshiyin Matsukawa said angrily. The main forces of his 6th Infantry Brigade were all thrown into the attack, and without the cover of artillery fire, didn't that send them to their deaths?

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there is news from the field artillery wing, they have been attacked by the large-caliber heavy artillery of the Chinese people, have suffered heavy losses, and are shifting positions. If you want to rejoin the battle, you'll have to wait an hour later. Amano Kiyodasa said with a cold face. Undoubtedly, the heaviest losses were undoubtedly his 7th Infantry Wing. Well, now the 7th Infantry Wing has been lost.

"Bastard!" Major General Toshiyin Matsukawa said viciously. However, he had no choice.

When the Japanese artillery was suppressed, the fate of those Japanese troops who crossed the Yalu River was actually decided. Without artillery fire, they had to face the powerful mortar and light and heavy machine gun fire of the Jilin Army. Even if these Japanese soldiers had a strong will to fight, they would inevitably collapse due to heavy casualties in such a situation.

By noon, the Japanese were in despair. Many Japanese soldiers chose to retreat, and they jumped back into the small boats that were not destroyed, trying to return to the east bank of the Yalu River. However, very few succeed. Most of the people fell into the river because the boat was wrecked, and eventually drowned alive in the Yalu River.

And those Japanese troops who resisted stubbornly did not end well. They were greeted by a raindown of mortar shells and light and heavy machine gun bullets. In the end, the two Japanese infantry wings that crossed the Yalu River, except for a few who were lucky enough to escape back to the east bank of the Yalu River, the rest were killed on the river beach. So much so that the river beach was densely packed with corpses.

Only a very small number of Japanese soldiers were captured, and these Japanese soldiers were only captured after they were wounded. Of course, they were seriously injured, and the Jilin Army would not care about them, and directly threw them into the Yalu River and rushed into the sea, which can be regarded as avenging the compatriots who died in the First Sino-Japanese War.

"It's over, and finally resisted the attack of the Japanese, and I have to admit that their attack is really sharp, and they almost broke through our defense line when there is so much difference in weapons and equipment. If it had not been for the timely arrival of the artillery battalion of the 7th Infantry Division, the problem would have been in trouble. On the top of the mountain, Wu Haoxuan's heart, which had been hanging in mid-air, was finally put back into his stomach.

"Young marshal, can I go and see how my brother is?" Li Yanling has always been worried about Li Zhenwu.

"Go ahead!" Wu Haoxuan nodded.

After the Japanese troops crossing the river were wiped out, the Jilin Army also began to rest. In the morning battle, the 32nd Infantry Regiment lost more than 1,500 men. In particular, the 2 battalion was reduced by half. The divisional artillery battalion of the 3rd Infantry Division also lost more than two hundred men, and more than a dozen 105-mm light howitzers were destroyed.

Such losses are undoubtedly very large. Of course, if compared with the results achieved, the losses of the Jilin Army are quite acceptable. The attacking Japanese 7th Infantry Wing and the 19th Infantry Wing lost more than 5,000 troops. This directly made the two wings almost to the point where they could cancel the number.

After the battle, the commander of the Korean Army, General Hasegawa Yoshimichi, directly requested that the remnants of the 6th Infantry Brigade withdraw to the country for recuperation. If the fight continues, there is a real possibility that this brigade will be abolished.

Each wing of the Japanese Army has its own wing flag, which is given by the emperor. If the Wing Flag is captured by the enemy during the battle, the Wing will no longer be rebuilt. Therefore, the Japanese army paid special attention to the protection of the wing flag.

The crushing defeat of the 6th Infantry Brigade cast a shadow over the North Korean army. Although I had already learned from the Second Division that the Jilin Army was very powerful. However, they always scoffed at the fact that the 2nd Division exaggerated the strength of the enemy. But now that they are fighting, they understand the strength of the Jilin Army. It's just that this is a lesson that was exchanged for the lives of thousands of soldiers.

Although, in the morning attack, the Japanese suffered heavy losses. However, the North Korean army did not give up on this. In the afternoon, the 5th Infantry Brigade of the Japanese Army and the 8th Infantry Brigade of the 10th Division launched another attack. It's just that this time the Japanese army didn't desperately choose a river crossing point. Instead, they launched an attack at the same time in Sinuiju and Sufeng, dozens of kilometers upstream.

However, because the Japanese artillery suffered heavy losses in the morning battle, there were only more than ten pieces of artillery left in the two field heavy artillery brigades. There were still more than eighty pieces of artillery left in the two field artillery wings. However, they no longer have an overwhelming advantage.

Under the circumstance that the artillery could not provide sufficient fire cover for the infantry, the Japanese army's river-crossing operation was undoubtedly a collision with the intensive firepower of the Jilin Army with flesh and blood! The final result can be imagined.

When the sun set, the Japanese offensive had to be stopped. In one day's attack, the North Korean army lost more than 8,000 people. The entire Korean army is only more than 45,000 people, and if it continues like this, won't it be exhausted soon?

"Yaga, how did those people become so powerful?" In the headquarters of the North Korean army, General Hasegawa Yoshimichi immediately roared after receiving the battle damage report.

"Your Excellency, Commander, I believe that the reason why the China Army is so strong is because of their strong firepower. If we had the same weapons on both sides, the Imperial Japanese Army could have easily defeated them. Major General Muda Keikuro, chief of staff of the DPRK Army, hurriedly said.

"Now, what are we going to do to defeat the Shina? The 2nd Division is still waiting for us to come to the rescue! General Hasegawa said.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we can try to outflank the Jilin Army. A detachment of the Combined Fleet will be able to arrive tomorrow morning, and they will be able to cover our landing on the flank of the Jilin Army. Major General Keikuro Muta suggested.

"Let those Navy guys help us?" The expression on Hasegawa's face kept changing. Eventually, however, he nodded.

It is better to accept the help of the navy than to be defeated by the Jilin army. Besides, whether it is the army or the navy, the ultimate goal is to enable the rise of the Japanese Empire.
