Four hundred and sixty-first Japanese reinforcements
ps: (I didn’t update due to delays yesterday. Five chapters will be updated today. Thank you for your support)
After all Japanese armies retreated into North Korea, General Oyama Iwa sent the Eighth Division of Tachimi Naofumi to garrison in Seoul because he was worried about the Russians launching a landing operation. Tachimi Naofumi's Eighth Division was stationed in towns near Seoul and garrisoned at Incheon Port.
After one regiment was annihilated, Naofumi immediately had only 5,000 troops left, and only 3,000 troops were stationed in Seoul.
If all members of the Eighth Division of Liji Shangwen were stationed near Seoul, Chen Hao would definitely not dare to launch a landing operation. However, after the Russians had no intention of landing, Liji Shangwen's department instigated half of the troops to go north. After the fall of Incheon Port, facing Cam Ranh Bay
It was difficult for the 3,000 people in Seoul to resist the approaching troops, but Naofumi immediately tried his best to arrange the garrison.
There was too little time to meet Shangwen immediately. When he received the news of the fall of Inchon, the Cam Ranh Bay troops were only 20 kilometers away from Seoul. Wu Peifu commanded the troops to march all the way and appeared in Seoul the next day. After a brief rest, they headed towards Seoul.
Launched a fierce attack.
Tachimi Naofumi organized simple defenses, but he was not confident in defending against the Chinese. He planned to start a street battle with the enemy if Seoul was captured. The Chinese had naval gun support when they attacked Inchon, but they did not carry any weapons due to their rapid march to attack Seoul.
With sufficient artillery, it is impossible to conduct a covering artillery bombardment in Seoul. After all, Seoul is much larger than Incheon.
Naofumi's judgment was very accurate. Without a large amount of artillery support, the Cam Ranh Bay troops encountered difficulties in attacking Seoul. Players' individual soldier attributes are not as good as NPCs, and the Japanese Army's combat effectiveness is not weak. Chen Hao relies on the 10,000 player troops for the main attack.
Without artillery support, it would be impossible to capture Seoul.
Chen Hao still has 3,000 elite NPC marines, but his troops may waste the marines in siege warfare, and the hope of capturing Seoul will be even slimmer. However, according to Wu Peifu's battle plan, they don't need to capture Seoul, they only need to make a posture and attack.
By disrupting the deployment of the Japanese army and containing some of the enemies for the Russian army in the Northeast, the mission was completed.
Japanese commander Oyama Iwa learned that the Cam Ranh Bay troops had landed in Incheon and that after the siege of Seoul, he immediately sent Nogi Nogi's Third Army south to support him. The Third Army was the main force in capturing Lushun and forcibly captured the fortress during the battle for Lushun. However,
Nogi Nogi's performance was only average. With the support of the 11-inch train gun, he commanded three strong attacks but failed to make any progress. Oyama Iwa ordered Nogi Nogi to hand over the command and was replaced by Chief of Staff Gentaro Kodama.
Kodama Gentaro's use of artillery was much better than Nogi's. After adjusting his deployment, he captured Highland 203 in one day. The fall of the high ground basically determined the fate of the battle in Lushun. The Japanese army established observation posts on the high ground to calibrate artillery firing.
A 28cm large-caliber howitzer used for coastal defense attacked the Russian fleet. On December 15, General Kondrachenko, known by the Russians as the "soul" of the Russian army's defense in Lushun, was killed. On January 2, Russia formally signed a surrender document.
Nogi Nogi's repeated attacks failed to capture Port Arthur, but Kodama Gentaro defeated it easily. Therefore, the Battle of Port Arthur was a major victory for the Japanese army, but it was a disastrous defeat for Nogi Nogi's capture. After receiving the report of Cam Ranh Bay's attack on Seoul, Nogi
It is judged that the Chinese only wanted to disrupt the deployment of the Japanese army and create opportunities for the Russians from the north to enter Korea and fight.
Nogi Hidenori hoped to stay in the Northern Dynasties, participate in the defense of the Russian attack, and personally lead the Third Army to a great victory. Oyamayan rejected Nogi Hidenori. He praised Nogi Hidenori's performance in the Battle of Fengtian and the Battle of Heigootai.
He is already good enough, and that is why Nogi is entrusted with important tasks. Let Nogi Nogi be responsible for resisting the inevitable landing troops alone.
Nogi Nogi was very dissatisfied. He believed that the Chinese who landed in the south were just harassment and would never fight the Japanese army. If the third army left, the Japanese defense force in the north was insufficient. If the Russians attacked across the board, the northern defense line might lose control. No matter what he did,
He said that Dashanyan insisted that he obey the order. This was because Dashanyan believed that the Russian army was not strong in combat effectiveness, but the Chinese Cam Ranh Bay troops had repeatedly won battles. If they were not eliminated as soon as possible, they would become a serious problem for the Japanese troops stationed in Korea.
Nogi Nogi could only carry out Oyama Iwa's order and led the Third Army to rush south to rescue Seoul. At this time, the Russian army in the northeast also launched an attack. The first to launch the main attack was the Second Army. This army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Fengtian.
It has been resting on the spot for several months.
Kuropatkin gave priority to replenishing the Second Army as the vanguard group to march to the south, under the unified command of Kaulbas. After the Cam Ranh Bay troops successfully landed in Inchon, the Tsar issued a death order to Kuropatkin, telling him "
Even if the entire Far East Group was wiped out, they would still die on the way to the south. If Kuropatkin was indecisive and retreated midway, the Tsar would order him to be shot.
This was the condition Chen Hao put forward when he agreed to land in the south. The reason was that he was worried that the Russian army would give up midway and the Cam Ranh Bay troops landing in the south would be surrounded and suppressed. So this time Kuropatkin was very determined and launched the first round of the attack.
With the strength of a group army, Japan and Russia launched a fierce battle on the Yalu River.
Oshanyan was surprised this time. He had clashed with Kuropatkin many times and completely looked down on the commander-in-chief of the Russian Far East. Oshanyan believed that as long as the Japanese First Army and Second Army in the north of Korea defended tightly, the Russians would suffer casualties.
would give up the combat plan, but after commanding two annihilations, the Russians still had high morale and launched charges at all costs, making the defense line he organized precarious.
The Russians suffered greater casualties than the Japanese, but the Russians assembled a large number of troops in the Northeast. Due to the cutoff of sea transportation, the Japanese retreated to North Korea without any personnel or material reinforcements. The two annihilation battles organized by Dashanyan concentrated manpower and materials and won the victory.
, but arms and supplies began to be in short supply. Facing the Russian attack at all costs, he could not make a living without rice.
Dashanyan was willing to fight two battles of annihilation at any cost because he had correctly figured out Kuropatkin's character and believed that two battles could scare the Russian commander into giving up. Just as he expected, after losing two battles in a row, he lost more than 10,000 people.
After his death, Kuropatkin sent several telegrams to the Tsar, believing that it was not yet time to enter Korea and fight, but the Tsar still forced him to continue the attack. If he did not attack, the Tsar would immediately change the commander and order him to be shot.
After the Japanese began to run out of ammunition, Kuropatkin commanded the troops to conquer the entire Ping'an Road. At this time, Kuropatkin finally had the determination to fight in Korea, and Tsar Nicholas II even defended himself.
Pleased with his persistence, he shouted the slogan to drive the Japanese out of Korea.
Dashanyan regretted sending the Second Army south to support, which resulted in insufficient numbers of troops in the north and allowed Russian troops to enter North Korea. Russia's entry into Korea shocked the Japanese base camp, and they ordered the navy to transport personnel and supplies into North Korea at all costs to support Dashanyan.
, and ordered Dashanyan to re-build the defense line.
The Japanese Navy formulated a battle plan, using two cruisers and three destroyers to attract the Russian break-up fleet, and then organized a large number of transport ships to transport supplies and landed at Wonsan. With a large number of troops and supplies, the battle in the Northern Dynasties was restored.
The decline was reduced, but the Japanese fleet responsible for acting as a decoy also lost two destroyers.
After Chen Hao led his troops to land, the Cam Ranh Bay fleet has been cruising in the Yellow Sea. The scope of the reconnaissance fleet composed of Zhao Yun and Ma Chao included the Sea of Japan. After detecting the Japanese transport fleet, Zhao Wenxi, who was responsible for leading the reconnaissance fleet, immediately reported to Chen Shaokuan.
Kuan formulated a combat plan to attack the Japanese transport fleet, but it was rejected by Chen Hao and Yang Du.
Chen Hao wanted the Russo-Japanese War to continue, and wanted Japan and Russia to fight to the death on the Korean Peninsula. After the Russians broke through the Japanese defense line on the Yalu River, Japan was completely at a disadvantage. If the Japanese in Korea could not get any supplies,
, it is very likely that they will temporarily abandon the Northern Dynasties and wait until the navy is re-established before counterattacking.
If Chen Hao helps deal with the Japanese supply fleet, the Russians will have an even greater advantage on the peninsula. After controlling northern Korea, they will have a firm grip on the Northeast. Therefore, not only can Chen Hao not be able to help the Russians deal with it,
Without the Japanese supply fleet, he could not inform the Russians. He needed to maintain a temporary balance of power between Japan and Russia.
This balance of power cannot be maintained for too long. It is too difficult for the Japanese to supply supplies. In the end, the Russians have the upper hand on the Korean Peninsula. When the new ships purchased by the Japanese enter service, Japan will gradually regain its maritime superiority, but in terms of comprehensive national strength, Russia has the upper hand and controls
North Korea will definitely continue to replenish its troops during this period, and the fighting between the two sides is likely to escalate.
In the Russo-Japanese War, Japan bet on its national destiny, and falling into a protracted war would be extremely detrimental to them. The only way to survive is for players to continue to inject large amounts of funds. In the real world, Japan is an economically powerful country, but relying on external blood transfusions will seriously weaken its vitality.
When the Japanese rely on the strength of players to defeat the Russians, the amount of money that Japanese players can continue to invest will be reduced, and they will no longer have any advantage against Chinese players.
Chen Hao also received news that Nogi Nogi's Second Army was moving south. He ordered the player's troops not to continue attacking Seoul, but to bypass Seoul and go north along the railway line. Three thousand Marines took over the attack from the player's troops, and the Navy
The Marine Corps' individual combat effectiveness reached 1.7, which already exceeded the Japanese troops stationed in Seoul. It was no problem to harass the Japanese troops in Seoul when they were focused on defense.
The 10,000 player troops, led by Chen Hao personally, arrived at Panmunjom all the way, posing as if they were marching north to intercept the Japanese army's retreat. After the Japanese army was defeated, they concentrated on Pyongyang, Yangde, and Jiangdong, and temporarily stopped after the supply fleet provided supplies.
After the decline, Chen Hao's 10,000 troops were small in number, but the Japanese army had to pay attention, otherwise they would be attacked from behind by these 10,000 well-equipped troops, and the Russians would be in trouble if they charged from the front. (To be continued.
