885, ultimatum

"The commander-in-chief of the Korean People's Liberation Army has officially issued an ultimatum to an enemy in North Korea: the enemy chieftain puppet governor Nanjiro has been killed, and the puppet commander-in-chief Kotaro Nakamura has also been killed! You are given two hours, before 12 noon on August 4, 1939, to lay down your arms and surrender unconditionally! If you continue to resist, the only end will be to be crushed! ”

"Waiting for reinforcements? At six o'clock last night, your aircraft carrier formation Kaga, 150 kilometers away in the sea, was sunk by my mysterious artillery! Don't be delusional about any rescue, we'll sink as many as we come! ”

"Now, the remnants of the 19th Division in the northeast of more than 3,000 people have been oppressed by our tens of thousands of troops in the narrow strip between Minfeng Peak and Wufeng Mountain; The remnants of the 20th Division in the southeast, more than 6,000 people, have been oppressed by our army of more than 100,000 in the canyon between Wutai Mountain, Guifang Mountain, Daguanling, and Huangshan Mountain. ”

"Of course, if you still want to fight, we'll be with you to the end. However, we don't want to waste bullets, and we don't want to waste manpower. Just throw gasoline cans and thatch into the canyon and use Molotov cocktails to cremate you. ”

"You can also wait for reinforcements, and we are waiting for your reinforcements. One aircraft carrier Kaga, two destroyers and dozens of aircraft, still too little for us. ”

"The last time the Akagi aircraft carrier, this time the Kaga aircraft carrier, the combat capability is simply not worth mentioning, and there is no power to fight back at all. I've heard that you still have more than a dozen aircraft carriers in the shipyard to be rebuilt, and they should all be sent out to try out the power of our mysterious cannons. ”

"I heard that you are building the Yamato and Musashi super battleships, with a full load displacement of more than 60,000 tons, and it seems that this requires a lot of scrap iron, which is much more valuable than the Akagi and Kaga. Then hurry up and get shelled, what are you waiting for now? ”

"In fact, all of your planes can also be sent, including the little toy that you have already tested and finalized and is going to be named the Zero fighter, and we have not tested the effect of anti-aircraft artillery until now."

"What about your powerful army, isn't there still a division in the three provinces of Manchuria? Hurry up and come here for reinforcements! Just two brigades came out of Hunchun, so what's the use? Our two battalions have already killed them, what else can you do except wait for death to do such a tactic of adding fuel to the fire? ”

"Do you rely on the so-called fortresses? The Najin Fortress, Ronan Fortress, and Wonsan Fortress have been completely returned to the Korean people and have become important fortresses against the invaders. Hundreds of fortress heavy artillery with a caliber of more than 400mm have become the best weapon for the Korean people to fight the invaders! ”

"Also, Jeju Island is only 90 kilometers away from our artillery, and Tsushima Island is only 60 kilometers away from our artillery. For the sake of international humanitarian considerations, we have not yet launched a destructive shelling. ”

"Hereby, the commander solemnly declares to the whole world that the Tsushima Strait belongs to the territorial waters of the DPRK, and Jeju Island and Tsushima Island belong to the inherent territory of the DPRK, because they are all within the range of our mysterious heavy artillery!"

"All non-Korean nationals on the territory and territorial waters of the DPRK must withdraw unconditionally within three days without permission, otherwise, our mysterious artillery will launch a devastating attack! Commander-in-Chief of the Korean People's Liberation Army: Rarely in Tongwu. ”

This "ultimatum" drafted by Bai Shujie himself was repeatedly broadcast on the morning of August 4 through radio and radio, which made many people not understand.

"I don't think such ultimatums are useless." Zhao Jinxi didn't understand: "Will the little devil surrender?" I can't see it. ”

Bai Shujie smiled slightly: "My ultimatum was not issued to the 19th and 20th Divisions, but to the base camp of the little devils, and it was also the domestic battlefield and the Nomenkan battlefield. It's a real thing, let them have a headache. ”

Sure enough, the effect of the ultimatum came out!

At 10 a.m. on August 4, 1939, the Soviet Foreign Ministry issued a statement: "Expressing serious concern about the war of self-defense launched by the Korean People's Liberation Army. He expressed his regret that the Korean People's Liberation Army openly robbed the warships of the Pacific Fleet of the Soviet Red Army without distinguishing between the enemy and us. ”

"The Soviet Red Army had no intention of interfering in the situation on the Korean Peninsula, but hoped to maintain peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region and promote the common prosperity of mankind, and at the same time hoped that similar vicious incidents of open robbery would not happen again." Yunyun.

Bai Shujie naturally needed to come forward to distinguish a few words, so he issued another statement: "It has been found that it is not our Korean People's Liberation Army soldiers who crossed the border without authorization, but local guerrilla personnel. ”

"Of course, the commander regrets that they have made inappropriate actions on the front line of Krasquino, and has now severely criticized and educated the relevant responsible persons to prevent the recurrence of similar incidents."

"Because the Japanese invaders have created too many blood debts in Korea, and people's grievances are very great, they behave in a rather out-of-the-ordinary way, and I hope that relations between the DPRK and the Soviet Union will not be affected by similar incidents." Yunyun.

At 12 o'clock at noon on August 4, 1939, the final encirclement and annihilation of the 19th and 20th divisions began.

This time, Bai Shujie did not have any reservations, and the 6 Flying Fortress bombers, all carrying 100 kg napalm, divided into two formations, launched the final destructive arson against the 19th and 20th divisions.

The main task of the surrounding ground forces is to cut a firebreak with a firewood knife to prevent the forest fire from spreading.

At the same time, 124 carrier-based planes of the First Fleet took off in three groups in turn and used napalm to bomb Busan, Geoje Island, and Namhae Island for a whole day. It wasn't until these three places were completely blown into ruins.

Moreover, the bombing target of the last batch of fighters turned out to be the sea surface of the Tsushima Strait, where more than 1,000 bombs blew up the sea into the sky, killing many big fish.

At first, the fighters on the shore did not understand why carrier-based aircraft threw bombs into the sea, isn't this a waste of the commander-in-chief's money? Later, after the soldiers of the Marine Corps explained, they realized that they were testing whether there were mines in the sea.

These places are all important ports for the little devils, plus the little devils have many fortresses here, and the distance from Fukuoka is too close, Bai Shujie doesn't want to waste time.

Moreover, this kind of devastating bombing and burning is still for the fortress of the little devils on Tsushima Island opposite: no matter how strong your fortress is, Lao Tzu will not come here at all, you say there is a fart? When Lao Tzu is unhappy, he will burn you to death with a fire!

Three days later, Bai Shujie received a telegram from Guan Xingguo that the little devils on Tsushima Island had retreated. Because of the process of lifting the heavy guns of large ships, it can be clearly seen from the coast with high-powered telescopes.

Moreover, a "ghost" submarine approached to reconnoitre, and finally confirmed that what Guan Xingguo saw was true, and a total of 36 heavy guns were removed from the fortress of Tsushima.

The Marines were right, and after a trial search, it was found that there were no mines in the Tsushima Strait.

At noon the next day, the four "looted" warships, which the Soviet Foreign Ministry said in a statement, swaggered through the Tsushima Strait and anchored at the mouth of the Dongjin River, west of Jeonju. This will become Bai Shujie's third naval base and a starting point for entering the Pacific Ocean in the future.

The little devil's base camp did not say anything about the ultimatum, nor did it continue to send reinforcements into the Korean Peninsula, and Bai Shujie finally won the gamble.

A major battle that swept the entire Korean Peninsula took eight days before and after, annihilating more than 40,000 people from two divisions and three heavy artillery wings of the little devils. Bai Shuming mobilized more than 190,000 troops from all units, including the navy and air force.

In the final encirclement of the 19th and 20th Divisions, the whole army suffered more than 4,000 casualties. The main reason is that the first and second divisions of the Korean People's Liberation Army suffered too many losses.

Among them, more than 2,000 people from the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the DPRK Liberation Army, which took the lead in occupying Wonsan Port and then rushed out along the southeast direction of the Masilyeong Mountains, had a face-to-face hard collision with the 39th Brigade of the little devil, and almost all the troops were wiped out!

Of course, their sacrifice was exchanged for the rapid penetration of the Third Division of Liu Zhiliang of the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Army, and with a large deep cut, the 39th Brigade and the 40th Brigade were cut in two, and then divided and surrounded.

If it weren't for Division Commander Seo Sanjiang ordering his second regiment to fight to the death, the situation in South Korea would not have settled so quickly.

Xu Sanjiang is the deputy head of Bai Shujie's guard regiment. When the Korean People's Liberation Army was formed, Choe Myong-chul was the head of the first regiment, and he was the deputy commander. Later, after the expansion, he was the commander of the 1st Division of the Korean People's Liberation Army, and Choe Myung-chul served as the commander of the 2nd Division.

The soldiers brought out by Bai Shujie all know the truth of "a dead bald donkey does not die in poverty". Xu Sanjiang knew that the third division of Liu Zhiliang of the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force was a mission: to annihilate the 39th Brigade of the little devil.

It is precisely because of this that Xu Sanjiang ordered his second Korean regiment to launch a decisive raid, which was to weaken the living force of the 39th Brigade as much as possible and give Liu Zhiliang a chance to create a fatal blow.

Xu Sanjiang's strategy succeeded!

Liu Zhiliang's Third Division, with less than 400 casualties, killed more than 5,000 remnants of the two wings of the 39th Brigade of Little Devils.

The 39th Brigade perished, and the remaining 40th Brigade came to an end. The 1st Division of Shi Liancheng's Division, supported by the indiscriminate bombardment of carrier-based aircraft, soon captured the Yangzhou Council.

Shi Liancheng knew Bai Shujie's taboo, so he did not accept the surrender of Lieutenant General Minoru Ushijima, the commander of the 20th Division of the little devil, and shot him indiscriminately.

However, the entire 20th Division combined, a total of more than 4,700 prisoners were captured, all of whom were stunned and captured by bombers. This is the main labor force for the reconstruction of South Korea in the future, and even if Bai Shujie is not happy, Shi Liancheng will catch it and come in handy.

On August 6, 1939, Shi Liancheng and Liu Zhiliang each took out a regiment and held a grand ceremony to enter the city in Seoul, officially announcing the liberation of South Korea. By order of Bai Shujie, Seoul became a municipality of the Pyongyang government.

At the same time, the South Korea Joint Command was established, with Shi Liancheng as commander and Liu Zhiliang as deputy commander. Choe Myong-chol, commander of the Second Division of the Korean People's Liberation Army, is also the mayor of Seoul.

After Choi Ming-che came to Seoul, the first thing he did was to open all the prisons and separate the more than 29,000 detainees. As long as they are not criminal offenders who robbed or killed ordinary people, they will all be released.

After three days of censorship, more than 23,700 people were released. Choe Myong-cheol had an idea, and used these people to form 10 temporary police regiments, sent the rifles of the captured little devils, and began to dig three feet into the ground and carry out a large-scale search and arrest of the entire territory of south Korea.

The targets of the search included Japanese nationals, stragglers in hiding, Japanese capitalists, bank, business, mining, and factory owners, as well as traitors, pseudo-policemen, hooligans, ruffians, and bandits.

In less than a week of this purge, more than 190,000 people were arrested, the most important of which were Japanese nationals, and all kinds of materials were piled up!

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