Chapter 176: Crossing the Yalu River

Dandong Command, Guo Huai was looking at the combat map. In front of them, more than 50,000 Japanese troops were defending Yizhou City tightly. Facing the unobstructed Yalu River, Guo Huai was unable to launch an attack at all, and tanks and armored vehicles could not operate on a large scale on the ice. In addition, the Japanese army constructed many fortifications in Linhe, and armored vehicles could not pass at all. Now he could only wait for the tactics of the special combat brigade to be successful. As long as there was even a slight mistake on this Japanese front, Guo Huai could break through the Japanese defense line.

"Report..." While Guo Huai was thinking, a colonel adviser ran over.

"What's up?"

"Report to the commander, the special combat brigade reported the war report. Now, the Japanese army's defense line on the other side of Xiajian Village has been occupied by our army. Except for a small number of Japanese troops, they and the Japanese army were all shot dead or surrendered and fled." The staff officer took out a telegram to Guo Huai and said.

"Yeah!" Guo Huai stood up and his face was no longer as frowning as before. He took the telegram and looked at it and laughed: "Haha, the Special War Brigade has indeed lived up to expectations. He immediately ordered all the SS troops and the armored troops to pass through the Japanese positions in Xiajian Village immediately, the mechanical troops immediately harassed the Japanese cities behind the Japanese army and the Japanese transportation routes, and the infantry troops immediately broke through to the left and right."

"Understand Commander!" The staff officer immediately issued the order to his subordinates, and the troops who had already prepared were immediately set off.

"His Excellency Shigetsu Rendahara, the news we just received was that our defense line in Xiajian Village was broken by the Chinese army!" When Guo Huai received the news, the Japanese command center in Yizhou also received the news, and the Japanese General Staff became angry and nervous for a moment.

"Baga...How did China capture the strong position of our army?" Japan's Korean Front Commander Shigetsu Indahara stood up from his desk and looked at his staff officer incredibly.

Although North Korea's Yalu River defense line was built in a hurry, it was not easy to break the arrangement of the ** team, along the mountains and rivers. Moreover, it is the cold winter season that China is unable to cross the frozen mountains and rivers in the north. He has personally seen several defensive positions. The guarding army is not a North Korean minion army that is about to collapse. How could it be broken by China so quickly?

"Your Excellency Commander, according to the information obtained from the front line, the Chinese army seemed to have broken the defense line of Xiajian Village by internal and external attacks. A brigade stationed at the garrison was almost completely damaged, and only a small number of soldiers were able to escape. According to these surviving non-commissioned officers, the Chinese army first dispatched bombers to bomb our positions violently, and then used a burning bomb to ignite a raging fire on the positions. When our army was panicked, a large number of Chinese army rushed from the east, and they violently attacked our positions. Then the western troops entering the Yalu River also participated, and our positions were lost. Your Commander, now we should think about what we should do in the future!

You should know that after China enters to occupy the front line, it will immediately send troops to strengthen to occupy the defense line, and take the opportunity to send troops behind our defense line to harass and attack our army's transportation line. Our army's more than 100,000 troops may be trapped here in one fell swoop!" The Japanese staff officer pointed to the combat map on the wall and pointed to the position currently occupied by the Zhong** team.

"Baga! Once the front line is lost, with the combat effectiveness and equipment of the Chinese army, they will definitely be able to cut off our transportation line and trap us here. Moreover, in North Korea, there are only one or two divisions in addition to us. In this case, China only needs to send one or two divisions of the entire North Korea and fall into the hands of China." In the face of Indahara Shigetsu frowned. It is no longer a question of whether the front line can be defended, but how to protect North Korea.

"Your Excellency Commander, look here. I think we should retreat immediately. Before the Chinese Entry can react, we will build a defense line in Seoul and the surrounding gates, which is close to our motherland. The supply line of China Entry is getting longer and longer. Only if you can block the attack of China Entry!" The Japanese staff officer spoke again at this time. In the north of North Korea, the supply of China Entry is relatively convenient. Here, the Japanese army is not the opponent of China Entry at all. They can only try to reduce the advantages of China Entry.

"Baga! I will be killed by those guys in the military headquarters if I do this!" Shigeyuki Rendahara suddenly turned his face and glared at his staff officer. Although this kind of escape without fighting is the best way now, if I do this, the military headquarters will definitely not forgive him. "Hayi! But Lieutenant General, if we defend here, we may be wiped out. Now North Korea does not have my team at all. Once the Chinese invasion is ready, the Korean invasion in the rear and some newly landed recruits cannot stop the Chinese invasion at all. Between the two, we must defend North Korea, instead of sitting here waiting for death!" The staff officer was furious with the commander's anger and immediately bowed to him.

"Baga..." Rendahara Shigetsu was silent, but now it is a very difficult choice.

"Report to Commander..." Just as Rendahara Shigetsu was still thinking, another staff officer suddenly ran over with a telegram, looking panicked and anxious.

"What happened?" Shigetsuki Rendahara suddenly felt something was wrong and hurriedly asked the staff officer who had just come in.

"Hay! Commander, our observer noticed the armored troops in China and a large number of infantry moving towards the north!" The staff officer replied immediately.

"Baga! Damn China, they are about to take action! Immediately order all the garrison troops to leave one company and the rest of the troops retreat immediately to Seoul!" Under the deterrence of the actions of the Zhongzhang Team, Indahara Shigetsu immediately agreed to the previous commander's order and issued a retreat order.

All Japanese troops were caught off guard by this order because all the Japanese troops thought that such a line of defense was impeccable. However, facing the order of the military headquarters, all Japanese troops arranged to go out of the palace and entered the horse, and then fled south quickly to all expectations.

"Kill o..."

"Boom...boom..."

"Dadada..." Three hours later, after reaching the occupied Japanese positions, the SS divisions immediately took action and charged fiercely against the Japanese positions in other directions, but the Japanese army fought to the death. The war was once in a stalemate, and there were not enough heavy artillery in the face of the solid fortifications. Although it was very difficult to cooperate inside and outside on the 1st, because some of the rifles had frozen and were difficult to fire at this time, of course, the Japanese army was not much different, so both sides suffered insufficient firepower, and even hand-to-hand combat broke out in places with a lot of blood. Under such a young aura, even if it was slightly injured, it would be difficult to survive!

The mechanics also advanced east very quickly and walked along the direction of the Japanese retreat. Of course, they did not know that there were Japanese troops in front of them, but wanted to attack the supply line behind the Japanese army and the Japanese army's rear cities.

"Dog Japanese resistance is still so fierce at this time! Damn it, if it weren't for the cold-blooded mortars, I would have destroyed them long ago!" The SS First Division and Fourth Division were all storming Japanese positions. They were all infantry divisions, so the heavy responsibility of attack was hand in hand to attack! At this time, the Second Regiment of the 3rd Brigade of the First Division was charging against a Japanese fortification, and another hand-to-hand battle broke out between the two sides. The battlefield was very cruel. From time to time, soldiers on both sides fell under the other's bayonet. Even if they were not dead, they would be frozen to death by the cold aura in a very short time.

"Regiment! We have taken the Japanese position! There are some troops in front of the Japanese position. Only one brigade of the Japanese army fought with us for two hours!" At sunset and dusk, the second regiment broke through the Japanese defense and eliminated all the Japanese army's resistance, but what they couldn't believe was that they had blocked them in front of them for two hours. There was only one brigade of only six or seven hundred in, and there was no entry in the large fortifications behind the Japanese army.

"How could this happen? According to the intelligence and estimates, shouldn't there be a Japanese corps stationed here? How come there is only one brigade? Immediately convey this information to the brigade headquarters!" This situation made the second regiment commander raise a little strange and immediately conveyed it to the rear command center.

"Reported to the military front line troops, the two Japanese positions on the left and right sides of Xiajian Village have been taken down by our army, but the Japanese troops defended the two positions only two regiments." Soon the information here was sent to Chen Hui, and Chen Hui has now replaced the position of SS commander whom Guo Huai had served as the former commander of the SS.

"Hmph! What tricks are the Japanese troops playing? Have you seen our army occupying this position and retreating or gathering troops to Yizhou? Come in, and immediately send a telegram to the eastern command post, requesting the headquarters to send troops to attack the front line of Yizhou. Our army immediately assembled again to attack south at dusk, and at the same time issued an order to camp on the spot. It is now five o'clock in the afternoon, and the color is getting darker. At night in northern Korea, our Baishao mechanical troops are difficult to act." After Chen Hui got the news, he sorted out and thought about the deployment of the Japanese army. Bi Jing's Japanese army's move was really beyond his expectations.

After receiving a telegram from Chen Hui, Guo Huai immediately ordered his subordinates to launch a full-scale attack on Yizhou. A large army of 100,000 rushed over all over the mountains and fields. Of course, they also encountered fierce resistance. The Japanese army almost spared their lives to resist their charge. From time to time, some Japanese troops launched counter-charges against the National Welfare Army. The two sides fought for more than an hour, and the Japanese army could not be annihilated. Moreover, under the bombardment and blast of heavy artillery, the city of Yizhou fell into the hands of the SS. As Chen Hui guessed, there was only one corps of the Japanese army in the entire Yizhou. From the captured prisoners and the Korean entrance in the city, Guo Huai couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He regretted that there had no hidden actions at the beginning, giving the Japanese army a chance to retreat. He surrounded the Japanese army here as Tongrendahara Shigei thought, but he did not expect the Japanese army to retreat so early!

Moreover, due to the darkness and road conditions, they don’t even have a chance to pursue it now. It has to be said that this is a huge mistake, but this victory is very important and has a great impact on the entire front.

The Yalu River front on the east road was broken, and Japan wanted to block the goal of the Chinese team by relying on the natural conditions of winter to achieve this. North Korea must be in danger. Moreover, although the Lushun area has begun to thaw with the arrival of the warm ocean current in the eastern Bohai Sea, it will take at least ten o'clock to pass through. In other words, it is impossible to replenish Lushun within ten o'clock, but this is not the biggest problem!

Japan lost the Yalu River defense line, so even if it is more than 100,000 Japanese troops, it is impossible for his defenders in North Korea to block the 200,000 Chinese team. Perhaps because of the lengthening of the supply line, the Chinese team cannot advance quickly, but even so, North Korea will be slowly swallowed by the Chinese team. At this time, Japan will definitely surround North Korea and put it on the front line. North Korea is too close to Japan. If the strong China now occupy this place, then it will be no less than a thunderbolt for Japan, which is equivalent to putting a knife on Japan's head.

In Jinzhou, Li Fang and Jiang Baili in the war room had received a telegram from Guo Huai.

"Haha! Guo Huai, that old boy, has fulfilled his mission! He broke through the Japanese Yalu River defense line so quickly. Although most of the Japanese army fled, he cleared the road to North Korea. Next, Japan will definitely place all its strength on North Korea. Moreover, our bombardment outside Jinzhou City has shown initial results, but it will take at least one week to wait until the bomber supplies arrive. According to the information from the Navy, after ten years of Ao, Lushun Port will be thawed, so Guo Huai has dragged a large part of the Japanese reinforcements for us! But think about North Korea, if we occupy the entire territory of North Korea, we only need a few small sampans to land in Japan and attack the Japanese mainland, but I am afraid that our domestic economy will be out of control!" Li Fang held a report and talked to Jiang Baili beside him.

"It's o! This battle is right, but we have now decided to win, but we have also consumed a lot of material and money. According to the head of state's plan, we cannot occupy all of North Korea. In that case, it will be very unfavorable for our future development and cannot let Japan break free from the constraints of land. If he can develop the navy with all his strength, it will be even more difficult for us to land in Japan for revenge!" Chiang Baili knew about Deng Sen's Far East plan, and crippled Japan, so that Japan could do nothing in the Far East within 10 or 20 years, attacked the surrounding borders, and took advantage of the European war to regain the Far East region occupied by Russia and recover the territory. This is the most important problem for our China now.

"Chief of Staff, look at it. We are now in the north of Jinzhou and have been bombarded by the Jinzhou front for almost a week. After a week, the materials needed by our bomber group will arrive. But before that, we should first solve the Japanese warships in Lushun Port. It would be bad if they were unfreezed in advance and let them escape! What do you think?" Li Fang stood up and walked out of the room. In the direction of Lushun, there were two Japanese battleships, one battlecruiser, and more than a dozen small Japanese ships. If these warships return to Japan safely, it would be a huge threat to the Chinese Navy, which has just suffered heavy losses. Therefore, Li Fang was preparing to attack the Japanese warships and sank the Japanese warships.
