877, night attack on the fortress

At two o'clock in the morning on August 2, 1939, a company led by Guo Quanzhong had arrived at Wuliuli, 20 kilometers west of Huining. This place is already only 70 kilometers away from its final destination. Now we can only wait for the follow-up troops to come and converge, and then call the bombers to come to the rescue.

Because Huining Fortress starts from Huining, along the Tumen River railway in the northwest, there are a total of 5 main batteries in Gaoling Town, Zhongcheng, Zhongguandong, Nanyangdong, and Fengxidong, mainly to defend the northwest direction of the Tumen River;

Along the Douman River basin in the east, and south to the sea in the mountains, the entire embankment is composed of fortresses, with a length of more than 90 kilometers. Starting from Wencheng in the north to the south, there are Huangpo-dong, Gyeongwon, Seonnai-dong, Sin-a-san, Gyeongheung, Guyi Cave, Quepo-dong, Shili-dong, and Xishuiluo Main Fort.

Starting from the main fort of Seisuna and heading west along the coastline, there are the main forts of Eggodo, Oogi, Washitsu, Najin, Myeongjin, Dachodo, Ijin-dong, Gajin-dong, Sajin-dong, and Seohha-dong.

It can be said that the North Hamgyeong-do Province in the northeast corner of the Korean Peninsula was all built into fortresses by little devils, and then connected by using one main fort after another. The narrow peninsula of less than 100 kilometers between Hoeryeong and Itjin Bay has been turned into a bunker on three sides.

The little devil repairs the fort fortress, which is really willing to spend money. All of them are made of reinforced concrete, and the large and small pillboxes, fortresses, and defensive trenches are more than 700 kilometers long if they are all pulled into a straight line.

At the beginning of the year before last, when the little devil was fighting between Zhang Gufeng and the Soviet Red Army, Bai Shujie ordered Shi Liancheng's special operations brigade to arrange a special group to infiltrate and "inspect" the entire battle process between the two sides, so he had a certain understanding of the situation here.

At that time, Bai Shujie had not yet made up his mind to occupy the Korean Peninsula. However, in line with the principle of "cunning rabbits and three holes, taking precautions," he carried out strategic reconnaissance work in all these vital areas. The so-called preparedness is nothing more than that.

If you want to block the enemy's passage to the north, you must block the main railway arteries of Huining, Zhongcheng, and Wencheng. If you want to send a large naval force of 2,400 people to the Bay of Posiette (Peter the Great Bay), you have to pass through between Khanh Hung and Sina Mountain.

The book explains that a formation of the "Flying Fortress" B-17 specially bombed this place on the evening of July 28, 1939. Because there is no cooperation of ground forces, it is not known how effective it will be.

Now that the ground forces are in the direction to guide the way, Air Force Commander Zhang Nianzu directly dispatched six "Flying Fortresses" and arranged 12 combat attack planes at the same time. This is a posture of preparing once and for all, clearing all obstacles for the reinforcement of the enemy's troops.

"Now it's time to see the poor dagger, everyone is ready to fight! According to the enemy's report, there should be a 14th Heavy Artillery Wing and the 73rd Infantry Wing, a total of more than 5,000 people. ”

Liu Kuizhong, commander of the Fourth Machine Gun Regiment of the Fourth Division, led 2,400 people of the Third Fleet to Wuliuli, and immediately said to Guo Quanzhong: "After all, you have arrived here first, and your body has recovered a little. As soon as the bombers arrive, you will set off quickly, cut between Greater Delhi and Luyeli, and then go straight to the Wufeng line. ”

"On the eastern side of the national border, Awudiri, the little devils built a large number of strong fortifications in order to defend against the Soviets. However, the defensive objects of their fortifications are all aimed at the east, and you plugged in from the west and suddenly appeared behind them, and the little devils certainly did not expect it. ”

"If, with your strength, you can break through without causing casualties, then attack immediately and open the passage to the Gulf of Posiette. If you are not sure, quickly call the bombers and bomb the little devil fortifications. ”

"Then he crossed the border and robbed the four battleships docked at Krastino. Of course, you can't really fight, but you can charge and shoot at the sky at the same time. Be loud and let others see you robbing the Soviets' warships. When the navy of the Third Fleet arrived, you served as guards on the spot to ensure the safety of the naval sailors. ”

"Until the four ships leave the port, you are the guard. The most important thing is to protect the safety of 5 million antibiotics, which is the money used by the commander-in-chief to pay for the remaining costs of the battleship. After the battleship leaves, the Soviets will launch a counteroffensive, you quickly retreat, the antibiotics will stay where they are, and then return to Guqianyuan to return. ”

As for the little devil fortress fortifications that were rumored to be miraculous, Guo Quanzhong and his first battalion of soldiers didn't take it seriously at first.

When they crossed the mountain beam and descended from Wangjing Cave and Zhongshan Cave, and then looked east condescendingly, they found that at the foot of the southeast mountain was actually a small grassland, with a width of about 50 kilometers from east to west, showing an irregular rectangle in the north-south direction.

Steed! Guo Quanzhong was in the telescope, and he saw nearly 10,000 Oriental war horses divided into piles, swaying back and forth leisurely on the grassland.

"Company Commander, you can't go over here." Guo Quanzhong said to the company commander beside him: "You can't go to the south, there is the core fortification of Xishuiluo of the fortress. Now we can only go north to the grassland, and it is best not to alarm these war horses. ”

"Otherwise, the little devils in the racecourse will be alarmed, and it will be a big trouble. Besides, once we capture here, although we can't use nearly 10,000 war horses now, we can pull carts for the common people, which is a huge wealth. ”

"So take the lead in a row, and make your way in front of you halfway up the mountain, northeast. The target is the line of the castle hole in the northeast to see if there is a chance there. I observed for a long time, but there were no little devils patrolling here, and it seemed that they were not clear about the enemy situation from behind. ”

Because the northwest direction is the commanding height of this area - Yongshan Mountain, with an altitude of 1,040 meters. It forms a tall mountain range with the Wufeng Mountain (1,330 meters) and Guanmao Mountain (2,541 meters) in the southwest, dividing the area into two parts, southeast and northwest, just blocking the line between Huining and Zhongcheng.

On the southeast side of the end of the mountain range is the passage connecting Joseon and Kraskino, and it is also the eastern passage to reach Jang Gu Peak.

The large force clinged to the southern slope of the mountain beam from southwest to northeast, and quietly walked through the dense forest, and no one was found walking along the way.

It is also said that not long ago, the little devil was still fighting with the Soviet Red Army here, and now the Nomenkan is fighting again, and it is even more tense here, who dares to look for death here for the common people.

And the attention of the little devils is in the east, for fear that the Soviet Red Army will open a breakthrough from Zhang Gufeng, and then open up a second battlefield to relieve the pressure on Nuomenkan.

A large force of nearly 4,000 men, after a long day of arduous trekking, finally crossed the final area of the northeastern corner of the Korean Peninsula. Now it is less than three kilometers away from the fortress of the cave in the city. A towering city wall finally appeared in Guo Quanzhong's sight.

Looking through the binoculars, the walls of the city wall are about every five kilometers, and there is a tall fortress, divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. There were some observation holes and shooting holes facing the west, but those were machine guns. From this, it can be seen that the direction of the attack of the fortress heavy artillery was in the east.

This is a pass in the cave in the city, there is a dirt road to cross out, one south and one north two huge bunkers like door gods, one kilometer apart to choke this road. Now it was getting darker, the wilderness was foggy, and the vision was beginning to blur.

Guo Quanzhong's high-powered telescope, which is the latest product of the Pyongyang Jewish Optical Instrument Factory, reached 12 times the high resolution, and finally found a clue, so he shouted in a low voice: "First Company, Second Company, you take a closer look at the two fortresses, close to our direction, is there a barracks for each?" ”

"Not bad!" The first company commander was actually by the battalion commander's side, and the binoculars in his hand were never put down: "According to the size of the barracks, if it is fully loaded, it should be a squad." Two barracks are two squads, probably more than a hundred people. ”

Guo Quanzhong turned around and said, "Now that the vision is getting more and more blurred, you two will quietly touch it and try it." If you can take these two fortresses in one go, it will be of great benefit to the rest of the battle. If you call in bombers to blow it all up and rebuild it, it is estimated that it will not be possible for half a year. ”

The Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force, which Bai Shujie spent nearly three years secretly forming in the Three Immortals Cave in Chengde, the quality of the soldiers is extraordinary. As soon as Guo Quanzhong's voice fell, more than 400 people from the two companies had already split into two roads and disappeared into the dense forest.

"Navy brothers, please be prepared too." Guo Quanzhong came to the depths of the dense forest, where the real big army was: "If the two companies in front take two fortresses, you must use the speed of a rapid march and run out four kilometers in one go." Just cross the cave in front of you and you will arrive at the Krasquino pier. ”

It is said that the commander of the company took the lead, twisted the assault rifle and bent down in front of him, and went straight to the fortress on the south side of the cave in the city at the foot of the mountain.

Twenty minutes later, a brick barracks appeared in front of him, with a side length of more than 300 meters. There is no watchtower like that of other barracks under normal circumstances, it is like a large courtyard, and the height of the wall is about 1.7 meters.

This height is relatively high for a short little devil, but for the soldiers of the Wyvern Expeditionary Force, it is completely possible to climb into it.

A gate, facing the dirt road to the north. The commander of the first company approached the corner of the barracks wall and discovered the gate, and at the same time saw that the barracks on the other side of the road was identical.

Poof, poof, poof! Poof, poof, poof!

The walkie-talkie on the operator's body suddenly made a sound of blowing, the volume was not loud, but it was just right to be heard when it was close to him. Now that he is in the enemy's den, he naturally can't speak, so he uses this method of "blowing three breaths" to communicate.

The second company is already in place!

The commander of a company nodded at the operator, who also blew three short breaths into the microphone, and twice in a row.

Now the sky has completely darkened, and it is almost to the point where Cheng DΓΉ can't see his five fingers. In particular, the electric lights were lit in the little devil's barracks, and between light and dark, it seemed even darker in the field outside.

"Let's-"

The commander of the company pressed forward with his right hand, and his body was already touching the wall towards the gate to the north. A sentry at the gate was straight, with a rifle in his hand, staring at the east, just with his back to the company commander who had crept up from the west.

It is also said that the possible enemies are all outside the city wall in the east, and the sentinels are naturally looking at the city gate hole in the east, how can they look behind them!

About 10 meters away from the enemy sentry, the company commander's left arm was raised, and a special steel crossbow had already shot a short arrow, which went straight into the wind pool hole behind the head of the little devil sentry!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
