Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army launched an attack on the front lines of Wulongbei, Bianmen and Baoshan north of Anton, which was far more ferocious than the previous First Corps. Although it was still mainly composed of Manchurian soldiers, it was still an organic one after all.  The troops, from platoon commander to division commander to regiment commander and other officers at all levels, are all served by experienced Japanese officers. They fight in a structured and clear manner.

    Although the Japanese army is not equipped with a large number of field artillery, there are many small and medium-caliber artillery. Coupled with a few field artillery, the number of artillery even exceeds the six heavy artillery regiments of the Korean Railway Army. The Kwantung Army newly formed  The victory of the Second Corps was due to the large number of artillery, while the Han Railway Force was victorious because of the power of the artillery. Therefore, the artillery battle between the two sides was evenly matched, and no one could do anything about the other. The rest was a competition between the infantry.

    The five dragons carried their backs to the front line of Baoshan. The artillery fire from both sides was in darkness. The blockade battle between the six regiments of the Korean Railway Army was only now considered a real fight. The Kwantung Army's newly-organized Second Corps, with 150,000 soldiers  With the strength of more than 10,000 people in the First Corps, a ratio of 160,000 to 30,000, a ratio of 6 to 1, the Japanese commander gave full play to his strength advantage and blocked the independent division's position.  Launched a continuous, wave-like attack.

    As soon as the battle began, it reached a fever pitch. The ones who fought the hardest and were at the forefront were those Japanese officers of the First Corps who had committed crimes and meritorious service. Already, more than 6,000 people with no way out had put on the best equipment.  , deployed in the three main directions of attack, under the cover of artillery fire, like desperadoes, blocking the position of the independent division.  Launching attacks again and again, behind these desperate Japanese officers were groups of Manchurian Japanese soldiers.

    The attack of the newly formed First Corps of the Kwantung Army.  General Umezu Yoshijiro's orders were thoroughly implemented, regardless of casualties or casualties. After each bombardment, the entire regiment and division were launched to attack. Under the scorching sun, the smoke filled the air, choking and burning the lungs.  The independent division troops blocked the position and endured great pressure, and the troops began to suffer casualties.

    In Andong City.  Han Tie was pacing back and forth in the headquarters, and the bursts of gunfire in the north of Anton kept his attention.  Just now.  The commanders of the blocking forces on the front line from Wulong back to Baoshan called one after another to report the situation on the battlefield. In one sentence, "The fighting was very fierce!"

    Han Tie did not expect that the Kwantung Army's newly formed Second Corps was a motley army that was also made up of improvised troops and was mainly composed of Manchurian soldiers.  Just like a mad dog, it is a completely life-threatening style of play.  Compared with the First Corps, what a huge difference!

    Compared with the blocking battle on the northern line, the blocking battle in the southeastern part of An'an made Han Tie itch with hatred. The blocking troops were already in the offensive blocking area and exchanged fire across the entire line with the retreating Japanese 107th Division troops.  , However, the battle was as tepid as the little devil seemed to be in no hurry to break through the blocking position of his troops, nor did he have the intention to escape desperately.

    The attack continued, but when it encountered resistance, it immediately retreated, and then launched another attack. This was completely contrary to Han Tie's original estimate. The resistance battle in the north of Andong was bloody and fierce, while the south was fierce.  It was a small fight, not even intense.

    "I don't understand, what are you doing, kid?" Han Tie stopped and asked Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan in confusion.

    Wang Dongshan was also puzzled. He answered according to his own judgment: "Commander, is it like this? The Japanese 107th Division, which retreated from the Zhuanghe line, was first defeated in front of my blocking troops.  There was blood flow and heavy casualties. Later, it was attacked by our aviation force and it lost its due combat effectiveness. Therefore, we were unable to launch the fierce attack we judged? "

    "As for the newly formed Second Corps of the Kwantung Army from Wulong back to Baoshan in the northeast of Anton, they should have received a death order. They must open the gate of Anton to meet the remnants of the 107th Division and break through our army's blockade. Therefore,  That¡¯s why the current battlefield situation exists!¡±

    Wang Dongshan's analysis is quite satisfactory and cannot find any flaws, but Han Tie always feels that the battlefield situation may not be that simple. The troops who have made a long-distance attack to occupy the front line of Gaizhou are still on the road so far. Therefore, the situation in the direction of Gaizhou  , it is unclear at the moment, but what he is most worried about is that the Japanese troops on the middle and north roads will get ahead of his own troops and escape through the big gap in Gaizhou.

    "Is the aviation force still continuing to bomb the defeated Japs on the middle and north roads? Where is the pursuit force now?" Han Tie asked again.

    Wang Dongshan replied: "Yes, Commander, according to the report sent by the aviation force, the retreating Japanese troops on the middle and north roads retreated extremely slowly under the air attacks of our bomber group and fighter group. In addition, the division commander reported  , the pursuing troops have already dispatched small groups of light troops, rushing in behind the Japanese troops along the way, and some of them have already caught up with the retreating Japanese troops! "

    "Chasing the leader of the troops"?, we are still about a day away from the Japanese army. Commander, you don¡¯t have to worry. The defeated Japanese army will definitely not be able to escape. What I am worried about is the blocking battle at Wulongbei, Bianmen, and Baoshan. The new Kwantung Army  The Second Corps, in a desperate posture, is under a lot of pressure on the troops. After all, with a strength ratio of six to one, our disadvantage is too obvious!  "

    After hearing this, Han Tie became more and more anxious. He frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "There are hundreds of thousands of troops chasing down from the central direction of the Liaodong Peninsula. How many of the little devils are left? They were beaten again."  There is only half a breath left, why is the pursuit speed so slow? "

    In fact, Han Tie mistakenly blamed the pursuit troops. Although the Japanese Third Army and the First and Second Detachments of the Kwantung Army lost about half of their troops and were constantly under bombardment from the air, they were the main force of the Japanese army after all and retreated.  In a hurry but not in chaos, the retreating Japanese army adopted a layer-by-layer approach, leaving a small number of troops at every available blocking location to carry out a desperate blockade.

    These Japanese soldiers who stayed behind to block the blockade had no intention of returning alive. They fought with red eyes and refused to retreat. They often died in the battle until no one was left. Only the pursuing independent division troops could pass through the blockade area. There were many more  The wounded Japanese soldiers, with only half a breath left, were lying in a pile of corpses. When the independent division troops passed by, they fired the grenades on their bodies and were shattered into pieces. They also caused varying degrees of casualties to the pursuing independent division troops.  It also greatly slowed down the pursuit speed. It can be said that the pursuit troops fought all the way.

    Han Tie complained like this because he didn't know the actual situation facing the pursuing troops. He was worried because the troops were facing too much pressure now, especially the six regiments on the northeastern blocking line, who were facing six times more than he was.  The above-mentioned Kwantung Army's newly formed Second Corps launched continuous attacks. The intensity of the battle can be judged just from the sound of the cannons. It can also be felt from the tone of the phone calls from the various regiment commanders.  .

    Although the six regiment commanders all made guarantees that the position would never be lost, Han Tie knew what price the troops would pay to do this. There was one thing he couldn't understand. What was the meaning of the Manchurian rebel soldier in his heart?  time, became so fierce?

    The consumption of ammunition in such a positional blocking battle is very alarming. Fortunately, I expected that this battle would definitely be difficult to fight, so when I assembled in Tokugawa in the northern part of the Korean Peninsula, I obtained priority supply rights from the logistics department.  , the troops have enough ammunition, and there will be no problem if they fight for another seven or eight days.

    "Ding ding ding!" The phone on the table rang rapidly. Chief of Staff Wang Dongshan grabbed the phone. After listening to a few words, his face changed drastically and he shouted: "What? - The Japanese troops rushed into the position and were  Let me tell you, Miao Wanlei, to fight hand-to-hand and defeat the Japanese troops Nonsense! Where did they get so many Japanese soldiers?  position, the Japanese army broke through your regiment¡¯s defense area, and you, Miao Wanlei, are the sinners!¡±

    "Bang!" Wang Dongshan put down the phone. Hearing Wang Dongshan's roar, Han Tie was suddenly startled and asked hurriedly: "Chief of Staff, what's going on?"

    Wang Dongshan said with an ugly face: "The call was from Miao Wanlei, the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 7th Brigade. Two of their blocking positions were invaded by the Japanese army. They were engaged in hand-to-hand combat. Miao Wanlei was confused. Where did he come from?  There are so many Japanese soldiers, and he is asking for reinforcements from the headquarters!¡±

    Han Tie gritted his teeth and said: "I know this Miao Wanlei. He is the number one general under Jia Zhenshan, the commander of the 7th Brigade. He is very good at fighting. The first regiment is also the number one main regiment of the 7th Brigade. His position was  A breakthrough, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the new Second Corps of the Kwantung Army far exceeds our expectations! Didn't the intelligence say that Manchurian soldiers are the main force? How could there be so many real Japs?  "

    Both Han Tie and Wang Dongshan were confused and puzzled. If the intelligence was wrong, it wouldn't be so wrong, right? More than half of the 150,000 troops of the Kwantung Army's new Second Corps are real Japanese?  But if the information is correct, what happened to Miao Wanlei's phone call?

    No matter what happens in the blocking position of the 1st Regiment of the 7th Marine Brigade, sending reinforcements is the best solution. However, Han Tie does not have a single extra soldier in his hands now. In the huge Anton City, there are only  An engineer battalion from the first brigade of the Southeast Mobile Corps was maintaining law and order in the city, but they didn't dare to send troops there. Instead, they mobilized troops from the Longwang Temple and Qianyang lines in southeast An'an?

    Han Tie didn't even dare. There weren't many troops there, and what he really valued were the remnants of the Japanese 107th Division, which was fighting unhurriedly. The fighting situation in the southern part of An'an was originally  This is not normal. Not a single soldier can move. Who knows what dirty tricks the little devil will come up with?

    The blocking battle in the northeastern part of Andong reached the most dangerous moment, but there were no troops to send. Han Tie pulled away anxiously.Military uniform collars were wandering around the room.
