Outside the city of Pyongyang, artillery roared, and shells fell inside the city of Pyongyang, blowing up deep craters one after another. Evacuate? That was impossible, at this time Gao Wenshan and their onslaught on Pyongyang had been going on for a long time, but the Japanese army had no intention of evacuating the people in Pyongyang, but instead detained them in the city and did not have the slightest intention of letting them go.

On the other hand, the Golwin Mountain Department outside the city did not care for the Korean people in the city, and the shelling never stopped from the beginning of the siege.

Maybe Gao Wenshan and Utsunomiya Taro don't know, but if you calculate carefully, the number of North Korean people who died at the hands of Gao Wenshan at this moment is probably no less than 3,000 people, and if you count the injured people, the total number is probably no less than 10,000...

Merely...

Leaving aside the fact that Wen Shan doesn't know about this matter for the time being, even if he knows, I'm afraid he won't care. After all, where can the life and death of those North Koreans be as good as their own life and death? What he's asking for right now is nothing else, just a way to survive...

The officers and men of the 17th Army were obviously well aware of their situation, so while the 33rd Army was responsible for blocking the enemy forces on both flanks, almost all the officers and men of the 17th Army died. As for the people in the city or something, they don't even want their own lives, how can they want someone else's...

It's just that after taking Pyongyang, whether he can really find a way to live, this is not clear to Gao Wenshan himself.

"It's not easy to take Pyongyang anymore, let alone others..."Inside the command, looking at the city covered in artillery fire in the distance. Gao Wenshan thought worriedly.

The meaning of Beijing is very clear, and it is unlikely that he wants to break through at the moment. After all, this time Utsunomiya Taro wholeheartedly wanted to surround them near Pyongyang, and it was impossible for them to break out of the encirclement lightly―――――― which is indeed the case. In order to ensure the safety of Pyongyang, the Japanese built a large number of fortifications near Pyongyang, and now these fortifications have played a huge role, although more Wehrmacht troops are coming to relieve the siege outside the encirclement, but in the face of the Japanese fortifications, they are very difficult to move an inch.

Naturally, with the current comparison of the forces of the two sides. It's not impossible to open the bracket. But by the time they open the encirclement, I'm afraid that Gao Wenshan and they have already run out of ammunition for a long time―――――― they have driven straight in, since they have driven straight in. Naturally, it is impossible to carry too much food and ammunition on your body...

And how long the little point that you carry with you can last, I'm afraid no one can say.

In this case, Pyongyang seems to be the strongest. On the contrary, it is the only breakthrough in the entire encirclement. And as long as Pyongyang can be breached. Then the government of the Kuomintang would be able to transport ammunition and other supplies to the 17th and 33rd armies by water, and the city of Ghowensan, with its fortified city of Pyongyang, would be able to become a nail embedded in the depths of the Japanese army in northern Korea...

It is even possible to come to an internal and external alliance with the Wehrmacht on the periphery, and by that time...

The question is, will it really be that smooth? Gao Wenshan is not a person who does not understand anything, and he knows very well that the sea outside the Korean Peninsula is not Bohai Bay. Bohai Bay is the land of the National Defense Navy, and they can naturally let ships sail on it at will, but this is different...

The Japanese were very powerful at sea, if the Kokusha government really intended to transport supplies by water. It's hard to say whether the Japanese would have intercepted it by water on the way, if it were. It's a bit of a problem.

If the Navy sends ships to escort the ship, it is even very likely that the largest naval battle in modern Asian history will break out because of this, compared to the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle and the Russo-Japanese Naval Battle, which seem to be nothing...

And in the event of a naval defeat, the situation will probably be even more troublesome. Because at that time, the Japanese Navy will inevitably be more unscrupulous, and Gao Wenshan and other departments, who are already facing threats on the road, may need to face a sea and land attack in the end...

At least, Gao Wenshan doesn't think that everything will be as smooth as Beijing thinks, but at the moment they don't seem to have any other good options.

Breakthrough? This is something they've tried a long time ago, especially in the direction they came from. The problem is just like Jiang Baili's judgment, since the Japanese let them in, they obviously didn't plan to let them leave alive, so Gao Wenshan tried many times but couldn't...

If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have turned around and attacked Pyongyang.

However, when they turned around, Utsunomiya Taro and their side were a little confused.

Fortunately, there are also a lot of troops in Pyongyang, and with relatively strong fortifications, they may not be afraid of them in Golwinsan. Therefore, Utsunomiya Taro himself rejected the request of others to withdraw to Seoul, insisted on staying in Pyongyang, intending to take command―――――― even if Pyongyang fell, it didn't matter, anyway, now part of the coastal waters of North Korea is still within the control of Japan, even if Pyongyang really falls, they can evacuate by water.

――――――――――――――――――――

Although he was worried about whether the method from Beijing would work well, Gao Wenshan still chose to obey Beijing's orders in the face of this only way out.

At the same time, in front of his subordinates, Gao Wenshan also put on a very confident appearance, and never let others perceive his true mentality.

Gao Wenshan was a little worried, because he had always considered this matter with the operational thinking of the army, not the navy, but it was no wonder, after all, he had always been a general of the army, and he did not know much about the combat mode of the navy. Therefore, they did not know that even if they did not use the convoy to escort them, the navy would be sure to deliver the supplies they needed to Pyongyang. It's just that it can't be in broad daylight, swaggering to send things in, you can only sneak in late at night, and the danger is very high, as long as it is discovered by the Japanese ships, it is almost 100% of the thing to be sunk...

Such situations are not uncommon in the history of warfare, where there will always be some blocked ports. In the middle of the night, someone sneaked into several ships.

This is not surprising at all, after all, there is only one way to detect enemy ships in this era, and that is to use the searchlight on the ship to find it slowly. Unlike later generations where radar can be used. If you have radar, it's even dark at night, but if you only have a searchlight, it's a lot more troublesome.

After all, the sea is so big, if the distance is not very close, it is impossible for you to walk behind the warships floating by you, and it is even possible that the warships will pass by you. You don't even know yet...

Therefore, this plan is not impossible, the only thing to worry about is what to do if the Japanese army destroys the port of Pyongyang. In that case, the efficiency of moving the materials down will be much lower, and it may even be that the time for one night is not enough at all...

Even send boats on the river to Pyongyang and then scuttle. Blocking of river channels. These are all things that are possible...

But the only thing that needs to be considered in Gawain Mountain right now is how to take down the city in front of you...

Because only by taking Pyongyang will they have a chance to live...

――――――――――――――――――――――

Outside Pyongyang, shortly after the shelling ended, a large number of IDF troops rushed up with weapons.

At the same time, after slapping off the heavy dust from the shelling on their heads, the Japanese soldiers in the fortifications also howled and rushed out of the fortifications.

From the sky, black and turquoise collided. The screams of killing made the earth tremble...

On the other hand, when the Seventeenth and Thirty-third Armies were still seeking a way to survive for themselves. Under Beijing's telegraphic order, a unit that was supposed to relieve the siege of the 17th Army and the 33rd Army quietly broke away from the Japanese army...

――――――――――――――――――――

"Company commander, aren't you fighting?"

After receiving the order to withdraw, a soldier looked at his company commander with some puzzlement.

Not long ago, the company commander told them that more than 100,000 of his own men in the 17th and 33rd armies were being surrounded by the Japanese, and that they wanted to get these people out even if they tried their best. If these people are really eaten by the Japanese, then China will lose Dalian and the like, a whole lot of bala bala ...

At this time, the Chinese people already had a certain understanding of the concept of the country, especially the army, and patriotic education never stopped. Therefore, if these words were left in the 2 and 30s of Yan Shao's era, maybe those who were soldiers would not listen to them at all, and they might not even understand what they meant, and they would only look at their superiors with numbness or idiotic eyes...

But this is not at all the same for the army at this time, especially in this era of nationalist fervor...

The problem was that not long after these words were made, the commander of their unit suddenly stood up and told them that they were not going to rescue their brothers, but to go on other missions, which was somewhat incomprehensible―――――― or exact, not at all.

Looking at his subordinates, the company commander spoke with some helplessness.

"The brother army has someone else to save us, and this time we are going to do something more meaningful..."

That's right, something more meaningful...

Soon, the company commander relayed what he had told him last time to his subordinates. Perhaps it is because the people above also know very well that rashly issuing such an order can easily cause confusion in the troops, so it is relatively clear to explain it.

And after learning that the reason why they had disengaged from contact with the Japanese this time was purely to go south to South Korea and turn it upside down, the soldiers below were all excited.

Under the order, the 21st Army, which was supposed to be ordered to relieve the siege, began to disengage from contact with the Japanese. Although the Japanese were a little puzzled by this, they were also a little glad in their hearts, after all, the Wehrmacht offensive that was now relieved of the siege was very fierce, and the withdrawal of a part of the Wehrmacht at this time also reduced the pressure on the Japanese army responsible for blocking it a lot.

On the road leading to South Korea, a large number of troops withdrawn from the front line marched in the direction of the south of Korea at their own pace.

――――――――――――――――――――

In a village in the south of North Korea, an old man who looked to be at least in his 50s. He was sitting under the eaves of his house and sighing.

He sighed not for anything else, but for the fact that he felt that he might not be able to see the day when Korea would be liberated from the iron heel of the Japanese in his lifetime.

As an old man who is already in his fifties. He has witnessed many things, witnessed the difficulties of North Korea in surviving in the gap between China and Japan, witnessed the situation when Korea became a Japanese colony, and witnessed the appearance of Koreans struggling under the iron hooves of Japan...

When he was younger, he may not have liked China very much, because China at that time was actually acting as a bully over North Korea's head. What's more, in such an era, things like the suzerainty have gradually become outdated. Naturally, those North Koreans will seek a new status, an international status equal to China, if not equal.

However...

The arrival of the Japanese. But it made him and some other North Koreans change their minds.

"Maybe China is not very good, but at least it is much stronger than the Japanese..."As the Japanese revealed their brutal nature, more and more North Koreans began to realize this. After all, in the past, China only sought nominal submission of its subjects, while Japan was doing everything it could to squeeze its colonies...

It's a pity. Although there were not a few people who resisted the Japanese in Korea. However, compared to the strength of the Japanese, it is too weak.

It was at this time that the conflict between China and the Japanese brought a lot of hope to the Koreans, especially after the news that the Chinese army had driven straight into Pyongyang, which shocked the Koreans, and many resistance groups that had been quiet began to move.

And yet it was at this time. However, there was news that the Chinese army was surrounded by the Japanese, and more than 100,000 troops were in danger.

The news came from the Japanese themselves. In the beginning, many Japanese people, including the old man, still didn't believe it. After all, not long ago, the Chinese were still overwhelming, how could they be surrounded by the Japanese in the blink of an eye? Therefore, many people regard this news as a fake news transmitted by the Japanese, and the purpose is to suppress the resistance of the Koreans.

However, just when they thought they had seen through the Japanese intentions, the newspapers of the other powers in Korea confirmed that the Japanese were right. And this qiē also made the Koreans like a lightning strike, after all, their only hope of getting rid of Japanese rule is the Chinese, and now the Chinese are actually surrounded by the Japanese, and more than 100,000 troops are in danger, which...

"Isn't it exactly the same as when it was in the first year?" Similar remarks continue to circulate in North Korea, and the resistance of the North Koreans has been dealt a great blow.

There are even many Koreans who feel that the Chinese cannot be counted on at all, because they are no match for the Japanese at all. This was the case back then, and it is the same now, and it is simply unreliable to expect them.

There are also many Koreans who simply put forward that since there is no hope of independence, we should simply let the Japanese obedient people get such remarks...

The old man naturally did not want to be a submissive citizen of the Japanese, but the Chinese were too disappointed to him, so he had been sitting under his roof these days, sighing, and his children had nothing to do but let him sit like this.

Fortunately, the location here is relatively remote, and the Japanese rarely come here, and compared to other areas, the looting here is not very strict, so there is no shortage of such a labor force as the old man...

It's just that when the whole village was in a state of tranquility, the old man suddenly felt that the stool under his ass seemed to be vibrating slightly, as if...

Earthquake in general??

It's not just the old man who found out about this, there are many people who find this, but just when the whole village is busy, they find that this is not an earthquake at all, but a vibration caused by the steps of a large number of troops passing through the village...

The troops of a full army were like a long dragon on the land, which surprised the Koreans along the way. After all, not long ago, the Japanese had just come out with the news that the Chinese army of more than 100,000 was surrounded by them, and the Chinese simply could not shake the Japanese rule in Korea, and the articles published in the newspapers founded by Westerners also confirmed these reports from the side...

However, the sight in front of them made them a little confused about their eyes...

If the Japanese have surrounded the Chinese army, then where did these troops come from? The fact that Chinese like to wear black military uniforms can be said to be well known, and the Japanese Army usually wears khaki or tea green military uniforms, and there is nothing in North Korea that is not known...

But despite the curiosity of the North Korean villagers, it was clear that the troops had no intention of helping them solve their doubts. Just when they were curious, this group of troops had already continued to march southward according to the established marching route...

Although by this time, the climate in North Korea has begun to get cold ...

――――――――――――――――――――

In November, when the Korean Front was doing its best to eliminate the 17th and 33rd National Defense Armies in the encirclement, the 21st National Defense Army, which was subordinate to the National Defense Force, broke away from contact with the Japanese and began to move south.

Since the Korean Front had placed most of its forces in North Korea, the Japanese army could hardly hinder the 21st Army in southern Korea. And the 21st Army, which has been driven straight in, will also turn the whole of South Korea upside down... (To be continued......)
