Chapter 768 Breaking into the Qingchuan River
In the mountains and forests, the intensive sniping was suddenly fierce, and the soldiers, in the case of low resistance of the puppet army and poor marksmanship, no longer cautiously concealed their figures, took off the silencer, opened the folding bayonet, and advanced forward to the horizon in the sound of banging gunfire.
The sudden burst of gunfire made Kobayashi Katsuo in the center of the high ground know that the last hour of the road has come, he looked at the few mechanics who were still busy repairing the slightly intact radio station, knowing that the possibility of asking for help has been zero, he took a deep breath, let the cold air swell his lungs, spit out heavily, and shouted in a deep voice: "Prepare to fight!" Grenade ready!! ”
The Japanese soldiers lying in the snow pulled out all the grenades and placed them beside them, ready to drop bombs at any time.
The Heavy also found a good firing position and placed the machine gun beside him, waiting for the enemy to approach before starting to fire. They will put it on the rack, but they can't guarantee that they won't attract bullets. The terrifying power made them completely frightened, and even heavy machine guns and mortars would be scrapped, not to mention light machine guns.
Compared with the Japanese army, the puppet army has already peed their pants one by one. When had they seen such a battle? At a distance of two or three hundred meters, they could just see the figure clearly, and the people here fell down with a puff, and they didn't even have the ability to fight back, they ran all the way to the top of the mountain, throwing down the corpses all over the mountain, but no one thought about fighting back.
The puppet army rushed to the top of the mountain, and the black pressure made Kobayashi Katsuo angry. How can you defend yourself like this? Looking at the figures rushing to the top of the mountain, he yelled and ordered: "Shoot a warning shot, kill them all!" Death to those who advance further!! ”
As he roared, bursts of gunfire rang out. The dense sound was coherent and urgent, drowning out the fierce gunfire on the hillside, so that the puppet army rushing towards the hill immediately stopped, looked at the bayonets flashing in the distance, and looked at the muzzle of the black hole. They calmed down, the master on the top of the mountain does not frown when he kills people, killing them is not like a beast, and if he goes forward, he will definitely die.
The long-standing accumulation of obscenity caused these North Korean puppet soldiers to retreat, and those who had guns but did not grab them turned their heads and hid behind trees. After the rock, a resistance defense was made into the distance.
But this resistance was equivalent to nothing for the Oroqen warriors. Lying in the snow without raising his head, the gun was held up and shot in front of him, and if he didn't hit his own people, he was already burning high incense, and it could be said that it was a miracle to be able to hit them.
The soldiers quickly looked for targets in the woods, shooting comfortably, and the dense bullets were not accurate at a slightly longer distance, even if they charged, they could not rush through such a dense rain of bullets. Again. The soldiers of the advance army were all armed with submachine guns, and once the enemy approached a distance of fifty or sixty meters, they would change to submachine guns.
For a while, in addition to wailing in the mountains and forests, it was a scream, no matter where the puppet army was hiding, there was nothing to do in the last moment, and it was very fast. The muzzle of the gun on the opposite side hit the figure hiding behind the tree from another angle, unless it didn't look up. Hide in a pit, behind a rock, otherwise, it will be difficult to dodge a life-threatening bullet.
The Oroqen warriors pressed steadily forward, and hundreds of puppet soldiers were killed every minute, so that they could not throw grenades with grenades. The distance is too far, the charge, and it is simply unrealistic, there is no other way but to hide. The enemy did not approach them at all, and there was no chance to fight desperately.
At the top of the mountain, the Japanese army waited for more than ten minutes, and the enemy did not attack, but fired accurately from a distance to destroy them steadily.
Katsuo Kobayashi was in a hurry at this time, he couldn't think of any way, just shoot back, even if they saw the figure, they couldn't reach it. The huge destructive bullet made them even more afraid to show their faces, as long as the edge was exposed, Bi Bao was torn apart by the bullet.
"Take these small heights around and compress the enemy to the last high ground!"
Mo Zhigen saw that there were not many people in the small high ground around him, so he gave the order.
Among the corpses of the advance army, the fighters of the advance army launched an attack on the four small heights around them. However, in this case, the warriors of the Oroqen tribe did not pounce on the mountain like the traditional charge, but a squad by squad, with an interval of ten or twenty meters, steadily advancing in the forest.
Heavy snipers gave up staring at the farthest central high ground, according to their respective directions, focusing on the target high ground they were responsible for, and in the sound of banging gunfire, they harvested the few lives above to provide protection for their advancing comrades.
The moment Katsuo Kobayashi watched the advance army slaughter easily all the way through the telescope and set foot on the high ground around him steadily, he knew that his life was over.
He could clearly see that the disarmed figures, the figures kneeling on the ground and lifting them above their heads, screamed and fell to the ground in the spray of blood. He understands that the other party has no intention of leaving a living mouth.
He pulled out his command knife, watched it quietly for a few seconds, slowly knelt down, his fingers calmly untied his cotton clothes, opened his chest and leaked his arms, let the cold air pour into his arms, and slowly aimed the tip of the knife at his stomach, under the gaze of the surrounding Japanese soldiers, ready to apologize in the way they thought was the most loyal.
At the moment when his fingers contracted back with his fingers, there was a bang, and his shoulder and chest cavity were torn apart by the bullets flying from his legs, and in the blood on the ground, his mutilated body was like being hit by a bison, spraying blood all the way, steaming, and flying upside down a few meters away.
In the upside-down flight, there was no pain in his dead eyes, only unwillingness, he was unwilling, why didn't he even give him a chance to apologize?
The death of Katsuo Kobayashi instantly ignited the fighting spirit of the Japanese army in the central highlands. They are proud of the sacred meaning of seppuku, which makes corrections proud. When seppuku is interrupted, it is a chance to prevent them from atoning for their sins to Amaterasu and their majesty, which is the enemy of life and death.
At the end of Katsuo Kobayashi, the moment when the surrounding highlands had been replaced, the only five or six hundred Japanese troops on the middle highlands howled, holding guns, not hidden, and rushed straight down to the highlands, and those puppet soldiers who stopped in front of them were shot mercilessly by them.
Around the central heights, there were at least 3,000 puppet troops, who were counting on the support of their masters, but they were mercilessly shot by the Japanese troops who rushed down.
In the screams, panic and roars came and went, at this moment, there were tigers behind them, jackals in front, and there was no way out. On the contrary, they have a few tyrannical anger in their bones. With hundreds of men falling, the first to pick up a bayonet and stab a Japanese soldier who shot at his compatriot ignited the tyrannical aura and quickly ignited the flames of war like a plague spread by the wind.
There is a rebound in the backlog, and there is no shortage of heroes in every nation. There is no lack of courage to fight. The same applies to North Koreans, who have become accustomed to groveling.
The soldiers who were steadily sniping their targets were stunned to find that fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out halfway up the hill in front of them.
"That unit went up?"
One of the warriors stood up and leaned against the tree and searched with his gun raised, thinking that his own men had rushed to the high ground.
Another soldier next to him put down his gun in confusion and said, "I didn't see our people." ”
Mo Rigen also saw this situation at this time, and he clearly saw in the high-powered telescope that the red-eyed Japanese army was a burst of stabs at the puppet army, and the puppet army also began to counterattack. The two sides fought to the death in the snow halfway up the mountain.
"Stop shooting! We'll see how lively it will be! ”
Morrigan ordered with a wicked smile.
At this time, all the warriors who could see it were happy, and the dog ate the dog. They can save bullets.
The fierce battle lasted about twenty minutes after the Oroqen warriors who came up from the back slope of the opposite hill occupied the high ground. The cowardly puppet army crushed more than 500 Japanese troops to death with a sea of people when their skills and physical strength were inferior to the Japanese army. After the battle was at its deepest, they kept stabbing at the dead bodies that were already full of holes, releasing the pent-up anger of the people for a long time.
When the last Japanese soldier fell, the puppet army did not care about fleeing for his life. It's still fighting, and I'm stunned to find out. They are densely packed with enemies in front of them, left and right.
"Ten minutes to end the battle!"
Morrigan roared......
With Mozhigen's order, the hunt here came to an end. The whole battle lasted less than four hours, and the Japanese army and the puppet army here were completely annihilated.
The battlefield was cleaned, and the food, supplies, ammunition, and guns that could not be carried away were found in a col not far from the road and buried in the snow, and the corpses were piled up and poured with gasoline and diesel and ignited.
Mozhigen: Their hurried march was already exhausted. After cleaning up the battlefield, they will continue to advance to Wonsan, take down there, and advance to Chuncheon Gangneung. Occupy the area along the Seoul line to the east.
By the time the battle was over at Morrigan, Junko's army had already arrived at the confluence of the Jiulong River and the Longxing River.
There is less than a wing of Japanese troops and puppet troops stationed there, and they are left behind to guard the traffic choke point there and guard the supplies in front, which is a transit point.
The news that Junko had knocked down the warm well had reached here, and when Junko arrived nearby, he suddenly heard a loud noise, and the people in the car clearly felt the vibration. He got out of the infantry vehicle and looked ahead, saw smoke rising from a few kilometers away, and then received a report from the front that the Japanese had blown up the only stone hole bridge there.
Silly, huh......
Junko was speechless for a while. It is more convenient on the ice than the bridge to open to traffic, and even if the stone bridge that can only cross one tank is there, it will not be used to pass armored vehicles, at most it is for the troops behind to pass through trucks and artillery, which is not used at all.
"Take it there quickly! We will rush to the Cheongchon River to occupy Pyongyang, or the brothers of the First Army will take Wonsan first! We're a mechanized army, so let's pull back the legs, what can you do? ”
"Can't!"
Junko's words caused all the commanders who heard the order to shout, and the speed of the procession increased dramatically.
By the time Junko arrives at the blown-up bridge, the battle is over. The defenders had less than one wing, and two regiments of the puppet army, under the strong attack of the armored troops, did not even hold out for half an hour, and they were defeated and retreated, and then they were defeated.
Looking at the map that had just been captured, Junko compared the previous military map with the whole picture, and ordered: "The 37th and 38th divisions stay behind, intercept the Japanese army and the puppet army behind, provide logistics support, occupy the high ground along the way, and hold on for a day!" ”
"Yes!"
The commanders of the 37th and 38th divisions received the order.
Glancing at the others who were waiting for the order, Junko then ordered: "Send the news of the occupation of the Jiulong River to Commander Yu, and ask him to send an armored force to the First Army to assist Commander Mo Rigen in attacking Wonsan!" ”
"The rest of the troops quickly broke into the Cheongchon River in four directions, cut off the connection between the new hole and the course, and lay down Pyongyang, completely retaining the enemy forces behind us!"
"Yes!"
Without Lao Zhao fighting, the generals who were in a hurry were immediately excited and shouted for their orders.
They don't know what to do. They rushed forward quickly, so that the Japanese army and the puppet army along the way had already fled, but they were not as fast as them, and they did not dare to take the road, and on some remote roads, they fled to the Qingchuan River like a lost dog. Tried to rush to Ren Chuan to escape from Ascension.
There were scattered deserters from the Japanese army and the puppet army everywhere, and the Japanese army was better, maintaining a complete structure, called retreat. The puppet army can have a purpose, how fast and how fast it can run, and what kind of formation can it take care of?
It's no wonder that Junko is fast, the Japanese army doesn't have any military fortresses in these places, and they never thought that the advance army would dare to enter Korea here. It was a colony recognized by all countries, and it belonged to the land that Japan had stolen from China. It is a colony of Japan. Although Korea is a kingdom with sentiments, it will belong to the Japanese Empire.
The Japanese believed that Britain and the United States would turn a blind eye to their attack on China, but it would be impossible for China, which had been weak for a long time, to overthrow the rules formulated during the era of the Eight-Nation Coalition and perfected in World War I.
It was because of this that they had a Manchurian defensive line. There was not much energy wasted on building fortifications in North Korea, only the old fortifications remained. There were no such facilities as anti-artillery holes, and they were a product of the First World War. This also led to the fragility of the interior after the advance army broke through the defensive line built behind Dandong and Chushan.
Junko's army advanced rapidly under the all-round reconnaissance of the sky and the ground, and did not entangle with the small forces along the way, nor did he bother to deal with them. Be goal-oriented. Quickly interspersed with the Cheongchon River, take Pyongyang, connect horizontally with Wonsan, and cut off all the enemies who were still fleeing for their lives.
At this time, although the Japanese army knew that Dao Shunzi's army was alone, it was deep in the depths. It's just armored forces, and the infantry behind them are separated by more than half a day, but they are powerless to stop Junko's footsteps. Thousands of tanks, thousands of armored vehicles, infantry vehicles, and almost a thousand self-propelled guns, they simply can't stop them. They thought that it was to cut off the supply line of the advance army and flow out of the buffer time, but unfortunately, the oil kept following the army, and there was also air transportation, so they had no chance to cut off the supply line, and they did not have the strength to cut it.
What frightened them the most was the planes in the sky, and when they marched in a large group, they would attract dozens of planes to continue to strafe for an hour and a half, and if a wing was slow to hide, it would be completely annihilated, and the baggage and other things were still everywhere along the way, and the team was even more dilapidated. The small force was no longer disturbed by the air, but the information was also cut off, and the retreating troops did not have a radio, just like blind men, scurrying around, and there was no enemy army as fast as the enemy, so that they would soon be caught up by the enemy's follow-up large forces, and they would be annihilated, just in this day or two.
There were telegrams asking for help everywhere, only Captain Kobayashi Katsuo of the Xingnan Army did not ask for help, but he couldn't get in touch, I don't know what the situation was there, but I knew that they didn't rush to Wonsan, and the Japanese troops who were retreating in Yuanshan didn't see their arrival.
The rescue was powerless, and the Japanese army could not take care of it, so they could only let these troops speed up the evacuation and rush to Renchuan and Busan as quickly as possible. With the experience of Shenyang and Dalian Lushun, they have given up bulky materials and selected high-quality products to take away.
The ports of Renchuan and Busan are also in a tense capacity, and those ships that have not been able to complete the evacuation tasks in Dalian, Lushun, and Yingkou have also rushed here, and those aircraft carrier battle groups are still rushing to Dalian and Lushun to try to rescue the Japanese troops there, but they have not rushed here.
During the attack, Junko didn't think about attacking the important nodes of the Japanese army, including the port. But this will reveal the disadvantages of the helicopter's weak endurance. Transport aircraft can fly long distances, 3,000 kilometers easily, but the range of armed attack aircraft is embarrassing. Without escort, although the combat effectiveness of the transport aircraft is very strong, it is only for the ground, and in the face of air combat, their chances of victory are not much.
This also allowed the ports of Imcheon and Busan to be protected from devastating air raids, and they were able to load ships safely and quickly.
When Shunzi rushed to attack the Qingchuan River, Dalian included Xing Yuan's attack distance, and they were only more than 20 kilometers away from Dalian.
At the same time, Zhao Liqiang, who was also marching rapidly, was intercepted by the Japanese army, fought fiercely for more than an hour, and after defeating the Japanese army, he also launched an attack on Qingdao.
The fight here was lively, Huang Baitao also learned the news, he was taken aback by Lao Zhao's quick breakthrough of the defense line, he quickly ordered, with the few boats in his hand to start crossing the river, and shelled the positions on the opposite bank to provide protection for crossing the river.
But in the artillery bombardment, there was not too fierce resistance on the other side, the gunfire was sparse, and there were obviously not many people.
This made Huang Baitao very annoyed, the enemy estimated that there was not a single brigade on the other side, and it looked like one or two hundred and two.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the troops who landed on the shore occupied the beach and rushed to the Japanese occupation, the battle was fierce, but not fierce, and the remaining Japanese troops fought desperately, using explosives and grenade pockets to carry out suicide blockade. In the loud roar, it caused a lot of casualties to the national army. But the disparity in numbers only lasted for more than ten minutes, and all of them were annihilated. Judging by the corpses on the position, isn't it just a squadron!
After occupying the bridgehead, Huang Baitao ordered the troops to repair the bridge so that at least the infantry could pass, and at the same time gathered troops on the opposite bank and used a division across the river to rush straight to Jinan. He can't be slower than Lao Zhao's movements, otherwise, most of Shandong will fall into Lao Zhao's hands. (To be continued......)
