    As fast as fire, as fast as wind!

    The most ideal offensive state is to continuously concentrate superior forces to continuously break through and advance toward a certain point or direction, and never stop unless necessary or until it is strongly blocked.  Xie Ruyi completely complied with this principle. Less than two hours after the Japanese troops broke through the Qingchuan River and contracted Anzhou City, they used 2 brigades to encircle Anzhou. At the same time, they mobilized 3 brigades of fresh troops and a North Korean army division to bypass Anzhou.  Zhoucheng, along the east side of Yanfeng Lake, continued to make strides towards Sunchuan and Pyongyang. This also included a cavalry brigade coming from the Northeast Theater.  .

    The first wave of the Qingchuan River has not yet been blocked, but the second wave has already formed!  The superiority in troops and equipment made the Japanese army panting and not knowing how to respond.

    The North Korean Army Base Camp in Seoul has been filled with clouds these past few days. No one knows how to crack the National Defense Force's typical European superiority strategy. Even Nagata Tieshan opened his collar with force, and the buttons on his white shirt fell to the ground.  aware.  Next to him, Okamura Neiji picked it up for him, glanced at Isotani Rensuke and asked him: "Nagata-kun, is there nothing we can do?"

    In just a few days, the three of them became sworn friends because of their like-minded conversations.  Especially the bloated, rigid and dissatisfied system of the old officers of the feudal clan made the three of them cherish each other, so whenever they had time, they would sit down and talk about military affairs and the future.  Today, as soon as Neji and Okamura came to the dormitory, they received news that the front line of Qingchuan River had been breached.  The three of them found it very difficult for the Wehrmacht to completely let go of the left wing and run rampant like a bull.  There are no troops on the front line.  There are two divisions with 40,000 troops along the Qingchuan River, but they are of no use.  Because the National Defense Force only needs a breakthrough.  They will be left behind, and the traditional horizontal interception will limit the marching speed due to the terrain.  Even the cavalry was helpless against the mountains of northern Korea, so by the time the troops arrived to encircle them, the Wehrmacht forwards had already crossed the assault point and headed south, and the main force that followed blocked the encirclement troops from the outside.

    The absolute weakness in firepower turned the encirclement into a waste. The Wehrmacht mortars that had been equipped to companies and even platoons caused great damage to our own troops.  But even if the firepower advantage is obvious, the main force of the National Defense Force will not engage in a decisive battle.  It is very simple to block and separate the passage to allow the follow-up troops to continuously attack Pyongyang!  Simple, very simple, it is a complete replica of the "one-point breakthrough and horizontal expansion" tactic used by the German army in the early stages of the European War.  breakthrough.  Continuous breakthroughs, no matter how concentrated the superior troops are, attack a little hard, and then extend the main force to the two wings after they can't run anymore, occupy a large area of ??land in one go, and then slowly clear it up.

    Nagata Tetsuzan dropped his pen and wanted to yell at "bullying", because this tactic is the most typical tactic of bullying others!  Artillery fire, troops, and tactics are combined to take advantage and continuously penetrate in depth!  Belgium's border was penetrated in seven days. The army did not even respond and was left behind by the German army. Even the French border was penetrated for more than 100 kilometers. In the end, it only stopped because the German general staff was worried about their own mistakes on the eastern front.

    Does Japan have an "Eastern Front"?  In theory there is.  There are about 10,000 troops in the direction of the Holzk Sea and Sakhalin Island, as well as a closely connected guerrilla force of the Poor Party, but this damn weather!

    The "Eastern Front" cannot be counted on, and the Korean army is not the French army with full firepower, so the easiest way is to retreat backwards in large strides.  Based on the National Defense Force's current mobilization and supply capabilities, the longest combat radius for army-level operations should be within a radius of 100 kilometers from the railway supply line. If there is sufficient depth, then the defense line can be deployed at this distance.  But previously, the National Defense Forces used the Civilian Eight-Article Agreement to control Pyongyang North Road and extended the railway line there.  The straight-line distance from Pyongyang North Road to Pyongyang is only 120 kilometers.  What's more, they also mobilized nearly 100,000 domestic and Korean civilians to maintain supply lines. Such a large number of transportation troops is enough even if the mountain roads are difficult to walk.  Moreover, the railway from Sinuiju to Pyongyang was built in 1904.  Even if they retreat and damage the opponent, they can quickly repair it. Their special rapid bridging technology can also help break through the water network.  What¡¯s more, it¡¯s winter!  You don¡¯t even need to build a bridge, you just need to be patient enough to wait a few days for the river to freeze over.

    Thinking of this, Nagata Tieshan felt a sense of frustration that he was completely unable to use his strength.

    8 years without leaving the battlefield!

    Is there an army in the world that has not been on the battlefield for 8 years?  8 years is enough time to train a docile puppy into a bloodthirsty wolf!  It was in these eight years that Yang Qiu built the National Defense Force he created into a precision-operated machine. Not to mention Qin Zhangshu's outstanding performance in the Battle of Reniwell, even if it were an ordinary person, this army would follow his own way  Fighting, so in just twenty days, their military front can be pointed at Pyongyang, the center of northern North Korea.

    "Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshinori is in Anzhou, can you use them?" Isotani Rensuke saw his worried face, and was interrupted by him before he could finish the plan: "Isotani-kun, the China Army will not be stupid generals.  The decisive battle will be in Anju, and the final goal must be Pyongyang!" The map, already filled with lines, lay quietly on the table.  These lines tellPeople, the 3 forward brigades of the National Defense Forces are moving south quickly after abandoning a large amount of baggage and heavy artillery.  There are already two divisions on our side gathering north, and about three divisions including the retreating troops are also blocked in Pyongyang.

    The formation of a decisive battle in Pyongyang cannot be stopped. Now it depends on when the domestic troops will arrive and whether the navy can ensure the safety of the Datong River estuary so that the army can reach Pyongyang by boat. Otherwise, everything will be over when the main force of the National Defense Force arrives.  So he turned around and asked: "Okamura-kun, when will the domestic troops arrive?"

    When the domestic reinforcements came up, Isotani Rensuke was very angry: "We can't count on those old bureaucrats. They don't understand what the Japanese Empire needs! The threat of the Chinese has appeared a few years ago, but they were still talking about it a few years ago.  Reduce the army. Now at this life-and-death moment that requires nationwide mobilization, they are considering the ideas of allies and foreigners! So until yesterday, only two regiments arrived in Busan, and there is no news about the rest."

    "These damn bureaucrats! Tanaka and all the capitulationists should be driven out of office, and the crown prince should be allowed to take over the country in person!" Okamura Neiji also vented all his anger on the bureaucrats and the feudal army system, kicked away the stool and looked  Looking at the night sky outside, he seemed to be thinking about how to replace the inactive and often crazy Emperor Taisho with Prince Hirohito.

    When the Battle of Pyongyang, which determined the fate of the two countries, came into play, a storm that was beyond everyone's expectations began to ferment on the ocean 50 nautical miles away from Tosa Bay on Shikoku Island.  The Saigo Maru, bearing the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu logo, rose and fell with the waves. Next to it were three sailfish-like black submarines. The sailors were busy moving wooden boxes onto the deck, passing them to the sailors and stuffing them into the bottom.  Empty ballast water tanks.  In the cabin of Jiao 47, Bai Yutang handed over the transportation list to the intelligence officer. The first mate next to him was very curious and asked: "Brother, what is in the box? If we are forced to dispatch, we have even put down the Japanese fleet."  Came here overnight.¡±

    The intelligence agent is a man about forty years old. He is thin and small, wearing a dirty Japanese sailor's uniform, with a samurai belt tied around his waist, and his bare feet in straw sandals. He looks no different from the sailors in the Kobe area.  It's really hard to figure out how many years he has been lurking, even the way he speaks and walks has changed. When they first saw him, everyone almost shot him.  He also looked at the first mate and Bai Yutang curiously: "Have you ever bought and opened it?"

    "No." The first mate pointed to a wooden box in front of him: "Isn't it printed with Japanese characters prohibiting unauthorized demolition?"

    The intelligence officer suddenly smiled and put the box on the navigation table: "Open it." After these words, the first mate and the sailors, who had been aroused for a long time, hurriedly opened the wooden box, but after opening it, everyone  Everyone was dumbfounded because there was actually a pile of Japanese printed sheets on the top of the box.  On the front is a photo of a young man with a determined face, holding up a legal document, and behind it is a text full of incomprehensible Japanese.  Although everyone doesn¡¯t know much Japanese, the people in the photos are so familiar!  Because this young man has become the second idol of young people in China. The first idol is naturally Chairman Yang Qiu, who started from scratch and was unyielding, and gradually led China out of the shackles with iron and blood.

    "Teacher Cheng Cheng?!" A sailor who benefited from the Cheng Cheng Act and immigrated to Changchun with his family shouted out.

    The intelligence officer smiled slightly. When he put aside the propaganda poster on the upper floor, everyone's eyes brightened, but then darkened again.  The first mate smiled bitterly and said: "What is this thing!"

    It turned out that there were 10 neat pistols under the box, but they looked so weird and ugly!  The soldiers all around were beyond words to describe.  The crudely made wooden handle is wrapped with oily cloth strips, the gun mechanism is irregular, and even the barrel is of different lengths and calibers. It is rusty and has no rifling. Even if it has rifling, it looks like it is a scrapped rifle barrel.  Truncated.  As for continuous rounds, don't even think about it. The best one can only hold 3 bullets, and you need to manually pull the bolt every time you load it.  If the Minyuan-style pistol, which is now among the most famous guns in the world, is a work of art, then this thing is not even a fire stick.

    But the intelligence officer was very satisfied with these guns. After looking at one, he took another.  Bai Yutang understood a little after thinking about it: "Is this deliberately trying to create the illusion that a small factory made it privately?" "Yes." The intelligence officer nodded: "These guns are all made of scrap parts from domestic small factories, and all the inscriptions on them are  They are all flattened, each batch has different quantities, different shapes and manufacturing methods, and the bullets are also various, and the cost of each one is more expensive than a revolver based on labor."

    The first mate and a few officers couldn't bear to spend the money of revolvers to make a batch of rubbish. They patted their shoulders and said, "Brother, why are these things made? To make a fire?" The intelligence officer smiled without saying anything and packed the box.  After sealing it, he gave it to his men to move away. Before leaving, he smiled slightly and said, "Just wait and read the news in the newspaper."

    "news?"

    The first mate and the sailor looked at him and then at Bai Yutang, but the latter stretched as if he hadn't seen him. After hearing the sound of the Saigo Maru's engine leaving, they gave the order: "Close the hatch, heading 090,  Let's goNorth Korea.  "
