882, the sky fell apart
What was repulsed was the Type 97 medium tank, which was designed and finalized in 1937 and then mass-produced, also specifically designed for jungle warfare.
The total combat weight is 15 tons, the length of the vehicle is 5.52 meters, the width of the vehicle is 2.33 meters, the height of the vehicle is 2.23 meters, the maximum off-road speed is 38 km/h, and the maximum off-road distance is 210 kilometers. It has a crew of 4 people, equipped with 1 57mm short-barreled rapid-fire gun and 2 7.7mm heavy machine guns. Carried 120 shells (80 grenades, 40 armor-piercing shells), 4035 machine gun rounds.
Gao Maochang had already seen the commander of the second infantry battalion at this time, and just wanted to say hello, when a dense rapid-fire cannon suddenly sounded in the direction of Seoul behind him. This voice is too familiar, it turned out to be the little devil's tank just now!
There was a tank of little devils behind him, and everyone was surprised!
It turned out that the little devils occupied the Korean Peninsula, and later merged with the main island and became their own "territory". Therefore, the Korean Peninsula has an extremely high strategic position in the national policy of the little devils.
Although Minamijiro is a phoenix who has lost his hair, he is a general after all, and he is in charge of a key place, and the headquarters of the North Korean Army is also in the capital, so he naturally needs a strong deterrent.
Especially after Ito Hirobumi was assassinated on October 26, 1909, the little devil had lingering fears about the people of the Korean Peninsula. Sure enough, the little devil's fears became a reality ten years later.
On January 22, 1919, the sudden death of the deposed emperor of Korea (the little devil was demoted to king) Yi Xi caused the first big ** on the Korean Peninsula.
On March 1, 1919, thousands of workers, students, peasants, and other classes of people gathered in Tadong Park in Seoul. After the meeting, 300,000 people staged a huge demonstration after chanting slogans such as "Long live Korean independence," "Get out of Korea with Japanese and Japanese troops," and "Korea is the Korea of the Korean people."
The North Koreans want to demonstrate, the little devils, of course, want to suppress it, and the conflict is inevitable. The history is known as the "Korean March Uprising", and the root cause of the outbreak is that the North Korean people suspect that the little devil plotted to kill the deposed emperor Li Xi.
By the end of December, more than 3,200 demonstrations had taken place in 211 of the 218 prefectures and counties on the Korean Peninsula, and more than 2 million people had participated in the demonstrations.
Of course, the repressive methods of the little devils have also become more powerful. According to incomplete statistics, from March 1 to May 31, more than 7,500 people were killed, more than 15,900 were injured, more than 46,900 people were arrested and imprisoned, and more than 700 houses were burned.
It can be seen from this that the little devil really treats the North Korean people as "their own family" and "internal contradictions". If such a thing happened in the city of Nanjing, it would not be 7,500 people, not 300,000 people, but probably 3 million people!
However, this incident also gave the little devil a wake-up call. It was from that time that the cabinet of the little devils adjusted the protection of the North Korean governor and the commander of the Korean army, and the North Korean army headquarters added an infantry brigade, an aviation squadron, a tank squadron, and then a large number of police officers from the police department under the governor's palace.
It had been more than three hours since the carrier-based planes continued to bomb Seoul, and Minamijiro and Nakamura Kotaro did not see the "soldiers who rescued the king of Qin", and they had a very bad feeling in their hearts.
In particular, I heard that the Hangang Bridge, Incheon Port, Gimpo Airport, and Ganghwa Island were lost, and all the escape routes that I could think of have been lost. It is impossible to escape from the sea, and it is impossible to escape from the sky.
Minamijiro and Kotaro Nakamura are also decisive: a lonely city cannot stay for a long time. Taking advantage of the fact that the enemy has not yet appeared in the east, hurry to break through to the east.
So "with a wave of my hand, I'm going, I can't take half a leaf with me!" ”
It's a pity that it's too late to leave now.
The 10 companies of the Marine Corps swept away the outskirts of Seoul and captured a large number of prisoner trucks and trucks. Geng Fengbiao, the commander of the first regiment, ordered the soldiers to pile sandbags on them, convert them into temporary armored vehicles, and carry captured Type 92 heavy machine guns and crooked light machine guns on the roof of the vehicles, and rushed into Seoul from the south gate, west gate, and north gate.
The Marines enter the city and finally help Minamijiro and Kotaro Nakamura make up their last decision to escape. After leaving 4 tanks behind, he rushed out of the east gate with a large army.
The Governor's Office, the Korean Military Headquarters, and their subordinate departments, classrooms, banks, businesses, enterprises, and overseas Chinese, as well as many speculative elements and ordinary people who have been coerced away by little devils, regardless of the military, police, people, men, women, and children, have formed an "army" of more than 400,000 people!
12 tanks in front of the road, 8 tanks in the back, and an infantry brigade scattered on both sides of the line to protect their commanders.
The rest of the cars, trucks, wagons, carts, mules and horses, and people with their burdens on their heads were now all huddled together, moving at a speed about the same as that of ants, and it was a terrible mess.
As the saying goes: 10,000 people, boundless and borderless.
Now 400,000 "troops" are flocking out of the city, giving people the feeling that it is overwhelming!
The Marines fought their way into Seoul from three directions, and the 4 tanks left behind by Minamijiro were quickly surrounded. Although it is impossible to win a frontal fight, there are concealments on both sides of the street, and the folding grenade gun does not have a long range, but the effect of shooting at close range is very good. Bai Shujie's "first-generation armor fragmentation projectile" lived up to expectations, and four tanks lost their drivers in an instant.
Rushing into the city, he saw four tanks, and none of the others were gone, Geng Fengbiao's heart was on fire: "One to four companies stay in the city to clear hidden dangers." Six other companies hurriedly dragged out the corpses inside the tanks and pursued the enemy! ”
At about two o'clock in the afternoon of July 28, 1939, Geng Fengbiao drove a truck to drag two squads of soldiers, followed by four tanks, and rushed to the east gate.
There are still nearly 10,000 people here who have not left the city, because the east gate has been blocked by a huge flow of people.
At this critical juncture, how can you have a bodhisattva's heart? Geng Fengbiao shouted angrily: "Shoot and warn, if you don't disperse, you will be executed on the spot!" ”
After half an hour of chaos, the passage of the east gate was finally opened, and Geng Fengbiao rushed out of the east gate to take a look: "My good man, there are dense crowds all over the mountains, where can I find the enemy?" ”
At this time, the deputy commander led the large army to finally catch up, and saw that Geng Fengbiao didn't know what to do, so he quickly said his judgment:
"Commander, there is no way out of the Han River Bridge, it is definitely unrealistic to find a boat now, and it is too late to cross the river. So I judged that now the little devil wants to escape, and there are only two ways to go. ”
"The first way is to flee north to the Yangzhou Council and join the 20th Division. The second way is to go east, passing through Geumgok-ri and Cheongpyeong-ri to the Odae Mountains, and then turn south and run to Busan. ”
"There was no way out in the end to the north, because there was a third division blocking the front. Therefore, my point of view is to pursue directly to the east, take advantage of the chaos to take Geumgok-ri, Cheongpyeong-ri, and Chuncheon in the east, and completely cut off the 20th Division's southward retreat. ”
Geng Fengbiao has no better way, his more than 1,000 people are wrapped in tens of thousands of people, and he must not stop, otherwise it will be a great disaster. Therefore, he nodded: "Order the troops to advance at full speed to the east, and if you find the enemy's ** team, call the carrier-based aircraft to come over and bomb it!" ”
Not to mention, Geng Fengbiao and the others were really lucky, they chased out less than ten kilometers, and they had already seen a huge convoy, and then they found 8 tanks behind the palace.
Now there is no ability to fight hard, so you can only call the plane to save your life. So half an hour later, more than 20 planes had already arrived, and then there was a wild bombardment.
Minamijiro and Nakamura Kotaro saw that there was no way out to the east, so they had to rush north to the Yangzhou government. Although it is more embarrassing, with the protection of the 20th Division, security may be no problem.
Unexpectedly, they turned around and happened to meet Guan Xingguo, the commander of the armored regiment of the first division of Shi Liancheng, with the second wave of large troops catching up, and an earth-shattering melee occurred in the northeast of Seoul!
The reason why it is called melee is that neither the enemy nor the enemy can do whatever they want.
Because there are hundreds of thousands of people on the road, even if you don't care about the life or death of these people, but when the number of people increases, no matter how powerful the tanks and armored vehicles are, they are waste!
If you can't get by, he can't get by, so you can only shoot from afar. According to the statistics of relevant experts in later generations, none of the enemies were killed in this scuffle, but no less than 50,000 people were killed in the flight!
The book explains that the Type 97 medium tank of the little devil is equipped with a short-barreled gun, although the caliber is 57mm, but the firing range is only 2400 meters.
Although Guan Xingguo's armored car is a 20mm five-barreled phalanx, the caliber is naturally not good, but the firing range can reach 3600 meters. In this round, they shot at each other, and the enemy and us fought on a par.
Guan Xingguo has no other meaning, that is, he can't let go of the core figure of the little devil, and he wants to buy time for the carrier-based aircraft.
Sure enough, Gao Maochang, the deputy commander of the armored regiment, who had heard the sound of intensive rapid-fire artillery before, saw that there was a large army led by his regiment commander behind him, and was just about to go up to report the situation, but he didn't expect a dark cloud to float in the sky to the west. If it weren't for the deafening roar, many would have thought it was a dark cloud.
The two-fuselage "Black Widow" fighter-attack aircraft, with a total weight of 5.8 tons and a maximum take-off weight of 8 tons, can carry 4 bombs of 500 kg.
Now 72 have come overhead, the altitude has dropped to about 2,000 meters, and then rushed towards the sun flag of the imp, and nearly 300 500-kilogram bombs have also fallen.
This "Black Widow" fighter-attack aircraft stayed in the air for more than three hours. There is also 1 30mm cannon and 4 12.7mm machine guns.
Now that the bombs have been dropped, the plane suddenly becomes nimble and light. The volley rolled in the air, the huge group of planes returned, and the aerial guns and heavy machine guns launched a new round of ground attacks. The remaining 20 tanks of the little devils were all turned into parts, and the cars were all turned into big fireballs.
When Guan Xingguo saw that there was nothing to do with himself here, he thought that his combat mission should be to continue to attack south, instead of watching the carrier-based aircraft set off fireworks here.
"Assemble the whole group!" Guan Xingguo grabbed the walkie-talkie and yelled: "Don't be fucking stunned, this has nothing to do with us." Now all turn around, pass the Guò Han River Bridge, seize the water source to replenish fuel and go south. Tomorrow before dawn, we must occupy Cheongju and Daejeon, and then go south to occupy Jeonju, and Lao Tzu's final destination is Gwangju by the sea! ”
Guan Xingguo's armored regiment was gone, and the vast area northeast of Seoul became a sea of fire. The Second Division of Choe Myong-cheol of the DPRK People's Liberation Army, which arrived by train, came at the right time.
Hundreds of thousands of people spread all over the mountains and became the targets of their arrest. If you don't catch it, you can't do it, these people have brought out everything that can be taken away from Seoul, and the current Seoul is almost an empty city. At the same time, Choi Ming-che and the others still have the arduous task of cleaning up the battlefield.
As ordered, one regiment continued to reinforce the armored regiment by vehicle, and the remaining four regiments, in platoons, began to cast nets in an area of more than ten kilometers in length and almost three kilometers in width.
Unexpectedly, the first to catch it were Minamijiro and Kotaro Nakamura. For the little devil, this is tantamount to the sky falling apart!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
