    Compared with the northern route, the troops that crossed the Bohai Sea to attack the Liaodong Peninsula were first ambushed by the Japanese army's so-called Manchukuo Bohai Cruise Fleet. Although it was just a farce, the Kwantung Army Air Force attacked with all its strength.  The battle between the sky and the sea was lively. Before the shadow of Lushunkou was seen, battles were already starting one after another.

    The troops on the southern front crossing the Yellow Sea to attack the Korean Peninsula launched their attack earlier than the troops on the northern front. So far, no news has been sent. They are unusually calm. According to the operational principle of counterattacking the enemy who attacks by landing, the enemy who crosses the sea will be attacked.  It is best to destroy all the troop transport fleets at sea, or to severely damage most of them. Blocking them at the beachhead is second best, and attacking them ashore is the worst strategy.

    Even in the Yellow Sea, General Tanaka Shinichi of the Japanese and Korean garrison forces cannot build a Yellow Sea cruise fleet, nor can they play the trick of ambush midway. At least, the Japanese land-based aviation force will not allow southeast maneuvers.  Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and nearly a thousand troop transports crossed the sea with great swagger.

    Although the Japanese land-based airports and combat aircraft on the Korean Peninsula were all lost in the fierce bombing by the aviation force the day before, after all, the Japanese mainland Kyushu Island is only separated by the Korean Strait. If one or two Japanese aviation forces were mobilized,  A fleet of hundreds of combat aircraft is not too difficult to accomplish.

    Tang Qiuli did not think that General Tanaka Shinichi would put hundreds of thousands of independent divisions into the Korean Peninsula without any resistance, and then fight with the Southeast Mobile Corps on the Korean Peninsula. That would be too stupid.  Tanaka Shinichi cannot take the position of commander of the North Korean garrison and governor of North Korea.

    The offensive on the northern front was after the entire Kwantung Army Air Force was annihilated.  There was no suspense anymore, the only thing left was the southern route, so Tang Qiuli asked this question.

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe smiled.  He replied: "Division Commander, the southern front is very calm. So far, except for Commander Le's report of shooting down dozens of Japanese reconnaissance aircraft, there has been no trace of other Japanese combat aircraft. Commander Ma Chaoyang of the Southeast Mobile Corps on the southern front just said  Call, everything is normal for the crossing troops, and they are rushing towards Incheon, Gunsan, and Mokpo according to the original plan! "

    Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed, and he asked thoughtfully: "Yuhe, do you believe that Tanaka Shinichi is so stupid that he wants to put our troops into the Korean Peninsula before fighting?"

    Zhao Yuhe replied without hesitation: "Commander, I don't believe it. This is the most basic military common sense. Judging from the current strength of the Japanese army on the Korean Peninsula. This is the stupidest strategy, unless that Tanaka Shinichi,  Lost my head!"

    Tang Qiuli smiled and said relaxedly: "Forget it, let's not bother guessing. As the troop transport ship formation of the sea-crossing force approaches the west coast of the Korean Peninsula, all of Tanaka Shinichi's trump cards will be revealed sooner or later.  !¡±

    "Division commander, in the name of the division commander, shall we give some specific instructions to Commander Ma Chaoyang of the Southeast Mobile Corps, Commander Le Yiqin of the Escort Group, and the Commander of the Escort Fleet?" Zhao Yuhe said.

    Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile and said: "What instructions? Tell them how to fight? Yuhe, we are thousands of miles away. They are on the Yellow Sea, how can you give instructions! - Aren't you afraid of being suspected of giving blind orders?  "

    Zhao Yu and "Puchi" were happy, and just about to say a few words, "Report!" A report came from outside the door. The voice was very familiar. It was Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department.

    Zhao Yuhe shouted: "Director Chen, come in!" Colonel Chen Feng, director of the Division's Communications Division, held a folder, pushed the door open, took out a telegram from the folder, and said: "Division Commander  , Chief of Staff, the Communications Department has just received the information from Captain Chutian of the Special Operations Detachment. Because it is urgent, I will send it over right away for your review."

    Tang Qiuli didn't answer, Zhao Yuhe reached out and took the information, "Director Chen, where is Chutian now?" he asked Chen Feng.

    Chen Feng replied succinctly: "The division commander, the Chutian detachment leader and several special operations detachment teams have currently sneaked into the Korean Peninsula. The telegram was sent near Incheon!"

    Tang Qiu was overjoyed and said: "This Chutian is so elusive. It has slipped into the Korean Peninsula from the Northeast. It's time to feel sad and give Tanaka Shin a headache!"

    "Sir, this is interesting!" Zhao Yuhe said suddenly after reading the telegram quickly.

    "Oh! Yuhe, what new tricks does the Japanese army have on the Korean Peninsula?" Tang Qiuli asked calmly.

    Zhao Yuhe said: "Commander, according to the information from Captain Chutian, the current actions of the Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula are somewhat incomprehensible. With Incheon as the boundary, the Japanese troops from the north to the northeastern border, as well as armed Japanese civilians,  They desperately gathered at various ports on the west coast. They didn't even have time to gather the troops. They went directly to the target areas at various locations where the Japanese troops were scattered. In addition,, Japanese police and North Korean police were arresting ordinary civilians everywhere for unknown purposes!  "

    "And south of Incheon, the regular Japanese troops, in the size of a brigade or a squadron, had no time to gather their troops and hurriedly assembled to the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula. The local garrison and armed Japanese civilians were still setting up defenses at various ports, and they were still  Yes, there are also Japanese police and North Korean police arresting civilians on a large scale. The purpose is also unknown. Captain Chutian is conducting reconnaissance! "

    Tang Qiuli frowned. This was a new situation. A war was imminent. What were the Japanese and North Korean police doing to arrest civilians?  After repairing the fortifications, in another four or five hours, the Southeast Mobile Corps will land at the target port, and the Japanese army will not be able to make it in time!

    The actions of the regular Japanese troops are even more incomprehensible. With Incheon as the boundary, the Japanese troops in the north have put up a defensive posture, while the Japanese troops in the south have massed in large numbers to the southernmost tip of the Korean Peninsula, leaving only local defenses behind.  Team and armed Japanese civilians to defend the port, what new tricks does this Tanaka Shinichi play?

    ?? Could it be that Tanaka Shinichi was ready to give up resistance before withdrawing from the southern port of Busan to the Japanese mainland?  Once the Japanese troops north of Inchon felt they were outmatched, they would withdraw into Northeast China?  Tanaka Shinichi still thinks that the north of Incheon is definitely not a key area to be attacked. He is confused, he is really confused!

    "Or" Tang Qiuli's mind flashed with countless possibilities, but if the hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops on the Korean Peninsula surrendered the Korean Peninsula without firing a single shot, he would do it no matter what.  If you don¡¯t believe it either, then why bother arming Japanese civilians?  Tanaka Shinichi is not naive enough to think that armed hundreds of thousands of Japanese civilians can prevent the Southeast Mobile Corps from landing!

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe also didn¡¯t understand what the Japanese troops were doing on the Korean Peninsula. ¡°Commander, what do you think?¡± he asked.

    Tang Qiuli shook his head, then nodded. He did not answer Zhao Yuhe's question, but asked: "Yuhe, after the Southeast Mobile Corps adjusts its deployment, will any offensive forces be allocated to the three landing ports?"

    All these data were printed in Zhao Yuhe's mind, so he opened his mouth and said, "Division commander, the adjusted deployment of the troops attacking the Korean Peninsula is as follows. Incheon, Gunsan, and Mokpo will be used as landing sites, and the southeast  The mobile force is divided into three parts, each responsible for landing at the target port! "

    "The troops that landed at Incheon were divided into two, with Incheon as the border. One part attacked northward, and together with the marines that landed on the Liaodong Peninsula, they surrounded all the Japanese and Korean troops stationed in the area along the border between China and North Korea.  The other group will attack southward and encircle the Japanese troops in the area with the troops that landed in Gunsan. The troops that landed in Gunsan will also be divided into two. One will attack towards Incheon, and the other will attack towards Mokpo.  , the purpose of the battle is the same, resulting in two encirclements! "

    "The troops who landed at Mokpo were also divided into two groups. One group stayed at the front line of Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan to prevent Japanese troops from reinforcing the battlefield on the Korean Peninsula. The other group attacked toward the mountains. The purpose of the campaign was the same!"

    "According to this deployment, in the entire Korean Peninsula battlefield, a huge encirclement will be formed in the three key areas of Incheon, Gunsan, and the China-North Korea border. The Japanese army will be divided and surrounded, and then annihilated. Division Commander, Fleet Commander Tang  Feeling that the Southeast Mobile Corps has been repeatedly divided, the forces in each attack direction are slightly insufficient, so three brigades from the Marine Corps were transferred to strengthen the Southeast Mobile Corps, and they were all deployed in the direction of the Mokpo landing troops! "

    "Brother Qiuquan really anticipated the enemy's opportunity!" Tang Qiuli sighed. Just now, he thought of the possibility that Tanaka Shinichi had expected that it would be impossible to evenly defend the west coast of the Korean Peninsula with the existing forces.  It is impossible to block the landing of the independent division troops, and it will cause the embarrassing situation of insufficient troops in every place. The attack of the independent division troops is to concentrate the troops and attack one or a few points.

    The Japanese troops in various places were waiting to be slaughtered. Therefore, they simply abandoned most of the ports on the west coast and concentrated their forces in the southernmost tip. They stuck to Mokpo, Gwangju, and Busan. They could wait for local reinforcements, or they could wait for local reinforcements when they were defeated.  At that time, Japan's Kyushu Island was withdrawn. The so-called advance can be defended, and retreating can be saved. As for the Japanese troops north of Incheon, the route to gather at the southern end was probably too long and there was no time. Therefore, they ordered to hold on where they were. At the same time,  It can also contain some of Ma Chaoyang's troops.

    Of course, Tang Qiuli was not sure of this judgment. He was worried that Ma Chaoyang's repeated divisions of troops would result in each offensive force being less advantageous in strength. Facing the heavy Japanese troop group assembled at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula,  He will suffer a big loss. Now, Brother Qiuquan has assigned three brigades of the Marine Corps, with nearly 50,000 troops, to the landing force in the direction of Mokpo. This worry no longer exists!

    However, JapanTang Qiuli really couldn't figure out what the police and the North Korean police wanted to arrest civilians on a large scale. It seemed that Chu Tian could only let Chu Tian dig out the old Japanese!
