Five hundred and ninetieth chapters clean up the mess
() No matter what kind of defense line, as long as it is breached a little bit, a complete collapse will follow. The same is true for the 38th line that Japan worked hard to manage. After being breached from the front, it suffered the fate of a complete defeat.
Three hundred thousand Japanese troops fled southward crazily.
Most of them are trying to escape to Seoul, and Shunroku Hata is also gathering the defeated troops as quickly as possible. He knows very well that the next bloody battle will break out in Seoul, and Chinese troops are constantly gathering outside Seoul.
However, the Chinese side did not launch a rapid attack, but instead developed in depth around Seoul. The tank troops were still the vanguard of all troops, like two giant dragons, completely surrounding the Japanese army in Seoul...
Shunroku Hata was on pins and needles in Seoul. The war situation was getting worse and worse. The Chinese corps quickly developed in depth and Seoul became an isolated island. Especially the fall of Incheon Port had a greater impact on Shunroku Hata. The sea route had been cut off.
, just a few hours before the fall of Inchon, the railway from Seoul to the port of Busan was also cut off.
The more than 200,000 Japanese troops in Seoul were completely trapped in the urn. Shunroku Hata actually wanted to give up Seoul on his own initiative, but the Tokyo base camp flatly rejected his request and asked Shunroku Hata to defend Seoul until the last soldier left!
Tojo Hideki even conveyed Hirohito's will, either a humiliating death or entering the Yasukuni Shrine, letting Shunroku Hata choose one.
Moreover, the Japanese base camp has promised that as long as Shunroku Hata can rely on the strong city to hold back the Chinese troops, reinforcements will arrive soon. It is with this guarantee that Shunroku Hata has strengthened his determination to resist...
He ordered all the troops that retreated to Seoul to reorganize. The troops that were defeated on the front line had lost morale and were in urgent need of reorganization. Shunroku Hata selected the most determined officers from the Japanese army to reorganize the Japanese army and quickly restore their appearance.
Deploy city defense.
What surprised Hata Shunroku was China's actions. China had besieged Seoul for more than two days, but did not launch a formal attack. This gave Hata Shunroku time to calmly deploy, and Seoul's defenses became more and more complete.
.The morale of the soldiers has also recovered.
China did not take Seoul in one go, which was beyond Hata Shunroku's expectations. On the third day, the Chinese Army finally began to take action. A total of more than 4,000 cannons were concentrated outside Seoul, and the black muzzles were facing the direction of Seoul.
.
Aerial bomber operations are becoming more and more frequent. Large groups of more than a hundred aircraft frequently visit Seoul, turning the city almost into a ruins. Incendiary bombs and high-explosive bombs are constantly thrown at the Japanese fortifications.
As the saying goes, dark clouds are over the city, Shunroku Hata feels fear from the bottom of his heart. With China's strong military, he doesn't know how long Seoul can withstand it and whether it can receive reinforcements from Japan. Moreover, Shunroku Hata also knows that even reinforcements can
When we arrive, we still have to wait and see whether we can break through the defense of the Chinese ** team. Through this battle, Shunroku Hata has a relatively deep understanding of the Chinese ** team.
The equipment is excellent, the weapon performance is superior, and the soldiers are well-trained. Especially the cooperation between the services is like an arm's length, without a trace of lag. The air force and the army, the armored force and the artillery can work closely with each other to bring out their combat effectiveness.
to the greatest extent.
This effective coordination greatly amplified China's advantages. In fact, the Chinese army did not have a clear advantage in terms of equipment, but the combat effectiveness that broke out after the war began was far beyond imagination.
In fact, it is very easy to achieve this, that is, constant training, training close to actual combat, sweating more in peacetime and bleeding less in wartime. Germany is also very outstanding in this regard, whether it is World War I or World War II,
In fact, Germany's equipment advantages are not obvious, and it is in an absolutely disadvantaged position in terms of numbers. However, Germany is able to maximize its combat effectiveness with its excellent officer team.
Since the founding of the army, the Sichuan Army has imitated Germany and established an officer training system. After World War I, Germany turned to imitating China. The two armies understood each other the most deeply, so their tactics were very similar. The difference is that
China has more abundant resources and can save more money on equipment.
In addition, China's population resources are more than eight times that of Germany, so China can select talents from a larger base, making the quality of Chinese officials higher.
Shunroku Hata felt more and more that going against China was a very wrong choice, but he had no right to choose. He could only do his best to do his job and hold on to Seoul.
Japan himself is like an ant on a hot pot, but some people are more excited, that is, the South Korean resistance organization. They have received weapons and funds from China, and at the same time they have also attracted a large number of North Korean puppet troops and organized a large number of
The number of young students that can be mobilized has exceeded 40,000.
This is not a small number. With the Chinese army besieging outside and 40,000 people rioting inside, Seoul can be captured immediately. The Korean resistance organizations have been unified into the National Front and elected Park Jung-dong as chairman. At this time,
Park Jung-dong is delivering his final mobilization speech in a secret stronghold in Seoul.
"Comrades, China has sent instructions. As long as we launch an uprising, a general offensive will follow. At that time, we should cooperate internally and externally to regain Seoul in one fell swoop. Expelling the Japanese colonists, expelling Rhee Syngman, Japan's lackey, and establishing
I hope you will fight hard for our nation, our country, and our compatriots and completely settle the grievances of these years with the Japanese colonizers!"
Park Zhengdong's speech received unanimous applause from all the leaders present. All Koreans were very excited. They discussed the specific combat strategy and then went separately to make arrangements. A storm was brewing in Seoul.
South Korea's resistance organizations have existed for a long time. From the moment Japan occupied South Korea, a large number of underground organizations have emerged. The more brutal the Japanese rule, the more prosperous South Korea's resistance organizations are, and today they finally broke out.
Well, just as night fell, the Koreans launched an attack on the Japanese patrol soldiers.
The Japanese soldiers never thought that the cowardly and incompetent Koreans would attack them. A large number of Japanese soldiers were shot to death on the side of the road without any preparation. The Koreans quickly seized their weapons and then attacked from all directions.
Capture the presidential palace, telegraph office, police station, station, bank, warehouse, arsenal and other important strongholds.
At the same time, the Koreans also used the radio to send a secret message to the Chinese side, asking the Chinese army to launch a full-scale offensive as soon as possible. The Koreans' actions turned the entire Seoul into a mess. The Japanese military was not prepared at all. All their energy
They were all used to deal with China, and there was no expectation that problems would arise behind the scenes.
By the time they reacted, most of Seoul was under the control of the insurgent army. Ordinary Koreans who were still a little scared at first organized themselves to provide food for the insurgent troops and help them transport the wounded.
When Shunroku Hata got the news of the Korean uprising, he was immediately frightened out of his mind. Of course he knew that fortresses were breached from the inside first, and without the cooperation of the Korean people, his street fighting plan was simply a joke, so Shunroku Hata hurriedly ordered
The army suppressed it quickly.
However, at this time, another unfortunate news came. Two South Korean servant military advisors had officially declared an uprising. These well-trained puppet soldiers turned back, catching the Japanese by surprise. The dog they had finally trained turned out to bite them.
How can you not make yourself furious if you take a bite out of yourself?
Hata Shunroku's first order was to control Rhee Syngman and others. The Japanese no longer had any trust in the Koreans. No matter how obedient and flattering Rhee was, it could not change that he was a Korean.
The fact is, anyone who is North Korean cannot be trusted.
The puppet regime of the Republic of Korea was arrested immediately. All the Korean servants were disarmed and packed into the military camp for guarding. If they resisted even a little, they were all killed on the spot. For a time, Seoul was filled with blood and heavy casualties.
The Japanese are brutal in their methods, and Koreans are not kind either. Koreans have a special fever gene in their genes. The so-called fever is manic syndrome. It can be said that the morbid madness of Koreans seeps out from their bones. It is bloody.
The conflict is getting more intense.
A large number of Korean revolting people were killed. Similarly, Japanese expatriates and soldiers would not end well once they fell into the hands of the Koreans. They were cut into pieces and countless people were burned. In the blink of an eye, Seoul turned into a hell on earth.
, there were shouts of killing and dead bodies everywhere.
The Japanese themselves did not expect that the Korean resistance would be so strong, far beyond their imagination. Therefore, the Japanese even had to dispatch troops from the front line to suppress the uprising. At first, Shunroku Hata was hesitant, thinking that the Chinese troops would
Take advantage of the opportunity and enter.
However, instead of launching an attack, the Chinese team stopped shelling and bombing. The Japanese who were originally waiting for China to launch an attack were dumbfounded and had no idea what the other side was planning.
But no matter what, if the Chinese stop attacking, they will get enough time to suppress the uprising. Shunroku Hata ordered his men to set up machine guns on the streets of Seoul. Under the cover of machine guns, Japanese soldiers launched an attack on the Korean uprising people.
Crazy attack.
The Japanese suffered a disastrous defeat in the war with China. All the Japanese soldiers were filled with anger. They all turned on the Koreans. Within a few hours of the quelling the chaos, there were tens of thousands of Koreans.
Being massacred. Japanese people no longer care whether they are rebels or not, whether they are old people or children. As long as they are alive, Koreans will be attacked.
In the blink of an eye, Seoul was dyed red with blood. In some streets, blood pooled on the road surface, a foot deep, like a pool of blood.
This chaos lasted for three full days, and more than 100,000 Koreans died in Japan's bloody suppression. It was only then that China began to launch a formal attack on Seoul. Their mission was already to clean up the mess.
