Speaking of this, Marshal Okamura Ningji's face was tense, and he said coldly: "The Korean army has not failed! The Imperial Japanese Army has not failed either! The breakthrough of the Chinese army is just a lone army going deep... The entire Yalu River defense line is still basically It’s all right, even if there are one or two armored divisions that have gone deep alone, our imperial army can wipe them out with ten times the force! Do you understand what I mean?” He paused, and glanced at the faces majesticly. Staff officers with trepidation. "Now, my request to everyone is to formulate a plan to encircle and wipe out the Chinese armored forces in the Yunshan area as soon as possible! The national destiny of the Great Japanese Empire is in the hands of you, let's start!"

The staff officers returned to their posts one after another, and began to formulate an overall plan for the "Battle of Yunshan" urgently.How to deploy the troops, how to avoid the march of the Chinese army and the air force, and the order of the attack...Only Komura Ningji was still standing in front of the sand table and thinking hard.Ishihara Wan'er walked up to him at this time, and said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, the outcome of the Yunshan Battle is really unpredictable. If there is any contingency... Do you want to formulate a forecast plan?"

Okamura Ningji said in a deep voice without raising his head: "What if the Great Japanese Empire is gone, and withdrawing to Gwangju-Daegu can't save the fate of the empire at all. In the final analysis, the war is a contest of the comprehensive national strength of the two countries! If The local factories and cities have been bombed by Chinese aircraft, so how can our more than 100 million soldiers of the North Korean Army rely on them to fight?"

Shi Yuan smiled wryly and shook his head: "Let's make a plan just in case... The base camp needs time to complete the plan to preserve the essence of the empire."

Okamura shook his head slowly: "This world war was originally based on the idea that the newly industrialized countries hoped to use military means to break the old empire's monopoly of world resources and markets, and to use military victories to gain a broad living space to build a new empire. The Great Japanese Empire expects to use the flesh and blood of the army and navy in exchange for a new development space for the empire. Why is that not the case for the China Empire? How could they allow the empire to continue to retain East Australia after losing its homeland? This is completely someone's wishful thinking Right? Perhaps they imagined that Germany would intervene in the Sino-Japanese War after quickly defeating the United States, forcing the Chinese army to withdraw from the mainland, or allowing tens of millions of local citizens to migrate to Eastern Australia? But have they ever thought about the relationship between comprehensive national power and war? The industrial strength of the United States is twice that of Germany, the population is 1.5 times that of Germany, and the land area is also larger than that of Germany... How can such a powerful country be quickly destroyed by Germany? And now Germany is still on an expedition, but the United States is Waiting for work at leisure, the war in the Atlantic Ocean will probably be a long and protracted war! The empire cannot wait for the day when the war will be decided."

Ishihara Wan'er was silent, and he was naturally very clear about what Okamura said.But the "relocation plan" came from the emperor's "wish decree", not to mention that there is a vote of officials, dignitaries, chaebols and bureaucrats behind it... Even if he and Neiji Okamura in front of him are actually the beneficiaries of this plan , their family members were also among the first mobilization lists!

Moreover, there is another layer of window paper that no one has pierced, that is, once North Korea falls, the Japanese archipelago may be blocked by the Chinese navy at any time.The situation is different when fleeing to Australia. Even if there is any eventuality, the so-called New Japan State will not be guaranteed. The big guy can still go to the islands controlled by Japan in the Pacific Ocean, or go to South America to establish a government-in-exile... ...Bao Buqi will still have the chance to return to Japan to govern in the future. Even if there is no such opportunity, with the wealth that each family has been in power in Japan for many years, they will always be able to live comfortably for a long time.

Okamura stared at Shi Yuan fixedly, and after a long time, he sighed deeply, and ordered in a low voice: "Go and make a preliminary plan, in case the Yunshan battle fails, you will resist steadily, retreat one by one, and withdraw the main force." Go to Gwangju-Daegu to build a new line of defense to buy time for them to escape."

Ishihara snapped to attention, bowed slightly to Okamura and said, "Your Excellency, Marshal, please rest assured that the Korean Army will fight to the end and win a turning point for the Great Japanese Empire!"

Chapter 0960 of the Korean War (seventeen) heroic, high-spirited

With the sunshine of winter morning.The banks of the Yalu River near Chushan Mountain in South Korea became busy. Seven or eight pontoon bridges were erected on the thick ice of the Yalu River. Teams of tanks, assault guns, self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles, and trucks rumbled past the bridges. .Dozens of fighter jets with blue sky and white sun marks on their wings hovered in the sky, and there were several self-propelled anti-aircraft guns at both ends of the bridge pointing their 40mm dual barrels at the sky.

On the ice on both sides of the pontoon bridge, groups of infantry were passing by, rolling in from the gap that had just been opened.At the same time, the main force of the 9nd Army of the 52th Army of the National Defense Forces is still desperately attacking the two wings, and cooperates with friendly forces to expand the breakthrough of Chushan.From time to time, there were faint sounds of gunfire in the distance.

Chushan, a small city on the south bank of the Yalu River, is now under the control of the National Defense Forces, and the low city walls have been battered with holes.The trenches outside the city that the Japanese troops once guarded had already been filled by artillery fire, and the corpses scattered all over the city hadn't had time to be cleaned up.Most of them are Japanese officers and soldiers in khaki military uniforms, piled on top of each other, and the number is countless.

On the flagpole in front of the low Japanese-style county office in Chushan City, the Tai Chi flag was flying high at this time.

On both sides of the only street in the small town, poor people wearing Korean national costumes are already crowded with poor people in Korean national costumes. Long live the Republic of China!" "Long live the Chinese National Defense Force!" Of course, if you shout slogans to please China for a while, you will also add two sentences such as "Long live the Republic of Korea"... Early this morning, many people were wearing Chinese National Defense Force A young man in military uniform, but speaking Korean, who claimed to be from the National Defense Force of the Republic of Korea, knocked on the door and told the Koreans in Chushan City that their motherland had been restored!They are no longer slaves to the Japanese!They are citizens of the Republic of Korea!Afterwards, each person gave out a few white flour steamed buns and these two small flags, and asked them to shout welcome slogans on the street.

When these newly "liberated" Korean people came to both sides of the street with small flags in their hands, they saw that the Chinese National Defense Forces were marching on the street, and there were all kinds of people who could not be named. Armored vehicles and trucks towing cannons.It rumbled across the street, making a few shallow track marks on the ground.From the officers to the soldiers, they all had high morale and walked through the city while singing military songs.The long marching team stretched from the north of the city to the south of the city, as if there was no end.

A convoy of more than a dozen jeeps and half-track armored vehicles also crossed the pontoon bridge and drove onto the land of the Korean peninsula, heading for the newly "recovered" Chuzhou City.Li Zongren was sitting on one of the half-tracked armored vehicles, and beside him was General Huang Xuchu, a fellow from Guangxi.The two of them had just received the appointment of the chief and deputy commanders of the Korean Army Group of the National Defense Forces, and are now rushing to Chuzhou, where the headquarters of the Korean Army Group is located.

Looking at the convoy of the Second Armored Army of the National Defense Forces rumbling forward, Li Zongren smiled with satisfaction, and said to Huang Xuchu beside him: "In less than two days, we have beaten the Yalu River, defeated at least five Japanese divisions, and dispatched It’s not really the main force yet. I think the combat effectiveness of our National Defense Forces should be number one in the world, not number two. With such elites, it’s only a matter of this year to conquer the Korean peninsula... We should go to Japan in the spring of next year! "

Huang Xuchu smiled slightly. This old officer of his is very high-spirited now. To be honest, anyone who sits on the position of the commander of the North Korean Army Group will feel that I am number one in the world!Among the troops commanded by this army group, there are four armored divisions and twelve armored grenadier divisions in mechanized units alone!There are more than 3800 various tanks and assault artillery!Such a huge strike force is indeed enough to compete with the powerful armored forces of the Wehrmacht.

"Report. The 122rd Panzergrenadier Division has captured Banpingli. The remnants of the Japanese 123nd and [-]rd Divisions are retreating to Songyuan, and the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division is in pursuit." A man riding a motorcycle The orderly jumped off the motorcycle that had just stopped.While quickly handing over a copy of the telegram to the driving half-track armored command vehicle.

Huang Xuchu took the telegram, browsed it for a while, smiled and said: "Shi Weikai is really good. He deserves to be from Guangxi. It's just two armored grenadier regiments and three self-propelled artillery battalions. , an assault artillery battalion, dare to run after the two divisions of Little Japan!"

"That's normal, Xu Chu. That's the Panzergrenadier Division, an elite unit of our national defense force. The two divisions on the other side are only third-rate troops, and more than half of them were lost in the battle of Gufeng. If Shi Weikai Can't even deal with them, do you still have the face to face people?" Li Zongren smiled coldly with an indescribable pride on his face: "Give Shi Weikai an order to chase and beat me, don't give these two Japanese teachers Let's take a breather!"

"Then send power to Officer Bai Jianchang of the Front Army Command, requesting him to send the air force to block the road from Banpingli to Songyuan, and at the same time send transport planes to drop supplies for the [-]rd Armored Grenadier Division."

The adjutant in the passenger seat recorded the order, signed it to Li Zongren and just left.Huang Xuchu squinted his eyes and asked doubtfully, "Mr. De, are you going to let the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division drive straight into Yunshan?"

"Yes!" Li Zongren laughed: "It is to drive straight. According to the reconnaissance of the Air Force, there are no traces of large Japanese troops moving around Yunshan Mountain. Moreover, our breakthrough in Chushan Mountain is probably beyond Okamura Neiji's expectations. He It is impossible to deploy heavy troops around Yunshan, so this is a good opportunity for us to make a surprise attack, as long as we take Yunshan, the Japanese defense on the front line of the Yalu River may collapse!"

"But... the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division still has a panzergrenadier regiment, an assault artillery battalion and a self-propelled artillery battalion that have not been established. Is the force too weak? What if the Japanese army in the Yunshan area If the main force encounters, I'm afraid it will suffer." Huang Xuchu was still a little worried.

Li Zongren thought for a while, then nodded: "That's right, let's assign the 308th Regiment, the 10th Parachute Artillery Battalion, and the 9th Assault Artillery Regiment to the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division, where the infantry is resting in Guiping. At the same time, ask the Air Force to search the area around Yunshan closely, so it should be safe.”

……

"Good! The [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division did a good job and fought well!"

In Shenyang Beidaying, Luo Yaoguo couldn't help applauding loudly after receiving the report of conquering Banpingli.Taking down Banpingli means that the entire Jiangnan mountain range has basically been controlled by the Chinese army, and the road to Yunshan has been completely opened.If there is no accident, at most another 24 hours, the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division will be able to take this crossroad in central North Korea, and the deployment of the Korean and Japanese troops should have been completely disrupted.

"What is Neji Okamura busy with? Why hasn't the Japanese army on the Yalu River defense line retreated yet?" Bai Chongxi had some doubts after receiving the telegram.

Now the central part of the Yalu River line of defense has been broken through by the Chinese army, and the Chinese mechanized troops have even penetrated tens of kilometers, and they are about to seize Yunshan, the main traffic route.As long as Unsan is captured, the Chinese armored forces will be able to circle behind the dozen or so Japanese divisions defending the eastern section of the Yalu River line of defense and the northern west coast of Korea!You can put these dozen divisions in your pocket at once.It stands to reason that these dozen or so divisions should have quickly abandoned their line of defense and retreated southward, at least to retreat across the Qingchuan River in one breath.However, the Japanese army on the Yalu River defense line showed no sign of retreating, and was still resisting tenaciously there.

"Auxiliary commander, Jianshuai, do you think Okamura will jump over the wall in a hurry and dispatch the Japanese mech army to fight us in the Yunshan area?" Chief of Staff Liu Fei stood in front of the map platform with his arms folded and thought for a while, then slowly Slowly reminded: "Now our [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division is like a sharp knife inserted into the heart of the Yalu River defense line. There are only two possible choices for Okamura. One is to step back and abandon the Yalu River defense line; the other is to counterattack. , Destroy this sharp knife. Now the Japanese army has no plan to retreat, it must be preparing for a decisive battle!"

"Oh, the decisive battle? Wei Zhang, tell me, if you were Okamura, how would you deploy this decisive battle?" Bai Chongxi walked up to Liu Fei and asked with a smile.

Luo Yaoguo also moved to the side of the map table, and looked at Liu Fei with great interest.Liu Fei frowned and thought, "I wouldn't be afraid if Neiji Okamura brought out the main force for a decisive battle...he has nothing more than two moves, either an ambush or a night attack. The [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division marches during the day and rests at night, and has air superiority during the day. Now, so ambushes are not afraid, the only thing that can pose a threat to the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division is the night attack. But what I was most worried about was not the Japanese counterattack, but I was afraid that they would take a big step back." Said here , He sneered: "If I were Okamura, I would never choose to fight in Yunshan. How much money does he have for the decisive battle? It's just four tank divisions and a few tank brigades...the real What can be used is only a few hundred Type Zero assault tanks, which are our No. [-] assault guns. I don’t know what Neiji Okamura thinks if he dares to fight a decisive battle with such a small amount of money?”

"What's so strange about this?" Luo Yaoguo said with a deep smile, "The Japanese army never fought a real mechanized war. They just learned some superficial information from the information given by the Germans. They didn't even know that they spent a lot of money to operate it. The so-called Mecha Army is just a pile of scrap copper and rotten iron, so it is normal for him to pin his hopes on the Mecha Army." He was silent for a while, and then said to Bai Chongxi: "However, Brother Jiansheng, we also Don't underestimate the enemy because of this, it would not be worthwhile if our armored forces capsized in the ditch of the Korean Peninsula. Otherwise, remind Li Delin and the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division and let them do their best Preparations for encountering Japanese mechanized clusters in the Unsan area."

"I want to remind them." Bai Chongxi nodded, looking at the map, frowning slightly: "The Japanese mecha army is a mechanized force, and the marching speed is much faster than infantry... Starting from Pyongyang City, one night is enough to arrive Yunshan is gone, but they dare not launch an attack during the day, I guess the decisive battle will happen tomorrow night."

"Report. The Air Force's reconnaissance found that the Japanese army has mobilized a large number of troops. The Japanese army has two infantry marching columns tens of thousands of people approaching Yunshan." At this moment, a communications staff officer walked into the war room quickly and sent a Telegram just received.Liu Fei quickly took the telegram and glanced at it, then handed it to Bai Chongxi.

"The Japanese dispatched two large groups of infantry, one of which marched from south to north, it should be the reserve force sent from Pyongyang; the other marched from west to east, it seems that the troops originally deployed on the west coast of North Korea!" Liu said. Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, clapped his chin, and said with a smile, "That's great, now our landing battle is a little more sure!"

However, Bai Chongxi took up the topic and smiled bitterly: "The landing is a little more sure, and the 10rd Panzergrenadier Division also has nearly [-] more enemy troops! Their battles are not easy to fight."

Luo Yaoguo nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It doesn't mean that you can't win if you don't fight well. It means that there are 10 more Japanese infantry! Just kill a little more!" Liu Fei then echoed: "10 Japanese infantry plus more than 1000 vehicles Japanese chariots...the battle is tough, but if it is won, the overall situation of the Korean War will almost be settled."

Bai Chongxi frowned, and began to count with his fingers: "The 308rd Panzergrenadier Division has a regiment plus an assault gun battalion, and a self-propelled artillery battalion has not been built. Now it has strengthened the 9th Infantry Regiment, the 10th Assault Gun Regiment, The 15000th Parachute Artillery Battalion has a total strength of about 100 people, and there are about 30 assault guns that can be activated, more than 18 self-propelled artillery pieces, and 10 towed howitzers." At this point, he shook his head: " No, no, this is a war against a [-]-fold enemy, and the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division has little chance of winning."

"Which unit is the closest to the [-]rd Panzergrenadier Division?" Luo Yaoguo thought for a while and asked Liu Fei beside him.

Liu Fei thought about it and replied: "It's Zhang Lingfu's 20000th Armored Division. A regiment and two battalions transferred from the 400rd Panzergrenadier Division are also with them. There are nearly 1000 people in total, and they have 400 tanks and assault artillery. Many vehicles. They are at most half a day’s journey away from the [-]rd Armored Grenadier Division. If Shi Weikai (Shi Jue) can persist in Yunshan for one night, the [-]th Armored Division can be in place...the Japanese [-] Many tanks will definitely not be able to stop their more than [-] tanks." As he spoke, he looked up at Bai Chongxi: "Shuai Jian, just for one night, I think this risk can be taken."

Bai Chongxi and Luo Yaoguo looked at each other, he nodded and said, "Okay! Just one night! Call Li Delin, the 10rd Panzergrenadier Division should speed up the march, and must arrive at Yunshan before tonight, and prepare fortifications and preparations." Facing an enemy 12 times stronger! The [-]th Armored Division must also speed up its advance and must arrive at the front line within [-] hours after the start of the Battle of Unsan.”

"Command the Second Air Force and the Third Air Force to do their best to strike the Japanese marching column near Yunshan! At the same time, concentrate on airstrikes on the main road bridges south of Yunshan!"

"Finally, report to Zhanjiang that Operation Sea Dragon will officially start!"

……

In Pyongyang, the atmosphere in the headquarters of the Korean Army in Japan was extremely tense. The staff officers who came in and out did not even dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Neiji Okamura, who was spinning the sand table with his hands behind his back.

Neiji Okamura has been around this electric sand table for nearly two days since the Chinese army launched an offensive. He knows the situation on the front line very well, and the gap in the center line of the Yalu River defense line is getting bigger and bigger.Although the east and west lines can still be supported, they are still in a hurry. With their firepower, military strength and air superiority, the Chinese army is pressing down on the Japanese army who is firmly defending the line, and the Japanese army can only fight there with flesh and blood.What made Okamura even more resentful was that the Chinese army that directly attacked the Japanese defense line was still composed of foreigners!According to reports from the front line, all the troops captured some "White Russians" and "Korean traitors" (referring to Central Asian mercenaries and Koreans), but almost no authentic Chinese were caught.

However, Okamura knows that even if the Japanese troops on the east and west lines are willing to suffer huge losses, they will not be able to defend for long, because the real decisive battle is still on the center line, and the center line is at most one or two tactical victories, and will eventually be defeated continuously. The Chinese armored forces that came to break through.

"Your Excellency Marshal, General Yoshida has arrived and is waiting to be interviewed." Sanji Okido's voice rang in Okamura's ear.

"Okay, please come in." Okamura did not look up, but whispered.

There was a sound of military boots, and the commander of the Japanese mecha army, Yoshida Takumi, was already standing behind Ningji Okamura, and reported loudly: "Your Excellency, Marshal, your mecha army has been mobilized and is ready to go at any time."

Okamura looked back at Yoshida, raised his hand and called him to his side: "Yoshida-kun, I just received the news that the marching column of the 22nd Army, and the four divisions drawn from the 19th Army, just set off on the road. They were bombarded indiscriminately by Chinese planes, and they also dispatched planes to bomb the bridges on the Qingchuan River and the main road from Pyongyang to the north. This will cause a lot of trouble for your march. Is there any problem with the Mech Army? "

Yoshida frowned. The mech army is a mechanized force. Although the tanks have relatively strong off-road capabilities, poor road conditions will also cause a significant drop in equipment integrity!Moreover, the Mech Army still has many trucks and wheeled armored vehicles that must rely on good road facilities.

"What's the matter? Can you dispatch on time?" Okamura asked.

"There is no problem in dispatching on time, but it will delay some time on the road." Yoshida hesitated, and then said: "However, there is no doubt about the victory of this battle. The mecha army of the lower official has four tank divisions. Five independent tank brigades have a total of more than 1600 tanks of various types! In addition, there is a cavalry group. The strength is 10 times that of a Chinese armored grenadier division! Even if there is another Chinese armored division, it will definitely be able to deal with it. "

Chapter 0961 Korean War (10) 1 to [-]

Neiji Okamura stared at Yoshida who seemed a little lacking in confidence for a while, and finally spoke leisurely, with indescribable fatigue in his voice: "So, does Yoshida-kun have the confidence to win?"
