After Bai Chongxi captured Suwon, he quickly commanded the player's 1st Division and the NPC's 7th Division to deploy defenses in preparation for the Japanese attack. Suwon is related to whether the Cam Ranh Bay force can take root south of Seoul, and it is also related to the safety of Seoul. The Japanese army is sure
Will fight for it at any cost.
Bai Chongxi's commander-in-chief played a role. After setting up the defensive positions, he ordered the players to defend and personally led the 7th Division to Suwon and Pingtaek to set up an ambush. The Japanese believed that after capturing Suwon at Cam Ranh Bay, they would only defend. A support from Tianan
The NPC brigade entered Bai Chongxi's pocket formation and was completely wiped out by Bai Chongxi with superior firepower.
The Japanese lost an NPC brigade, which delayed the time to arrange the attack, so Bai Chongxi easily defended Suwon for ten days. The fourth and fifth divisions commanded by Wu Peifu arrived in Incheon at this time, and Bai Chongxi, a junior, fought two wonderful battles
, Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang and Yang Sen could not sit still anymore, and they all suggested to Chen Hao to launch the next battle.
Chen Hao took out the battle plan drawn up by Bai Chongxi. Wu Peifu and the other three were amazed after reading it and improved the plan again. The Marine Corps Brigade continued to stay in Seoul, and the Fourth and Fifth Divisions headed for Suwon under the leadership of Wu Peifu.
, successfully merged with Bai Chongxi's 7th Division.
Chen Hao contacted the Russian side, hoping that Russia would seize Chuncheon east of Seoul and cut off the Japanese army's eastern passage from Seoul. The three divisions commanded by Suwon Wu Peifu were preparing for the expedition, and the reconnaissance company was sent to Wonju to the east to find out the news.
This made the Japanese nervous.
Suwon to the south of Seoul has been controlled by the Cam Ranh Bay army, and Chuncheon to the west has been captured by the Russian army. If Wonju is lost, the retreat route of the Seoul defenders will be cut off again. The Japanese commander believed that he had an insight into the strategic intentions of the coalition forces, and moved from Gangneung and Hoeng
The city mobilized troops to assist Wonju. At the same time, it ordered Nogi Nogi Nogi's third army stationed in Chungju to move north along the Han River to cut off the retreat route of the troops at Camran Bay.
After the three divisions of Cam Ranh Bay in Suwon were prepared, only the player's first division was left stationed in Suwon, and three NPC divisions advanced to Wonju in the east. The Japanese army gathered a division of NPC troops in Wonju, and two more
The player division of this division, Japanese commander Gentaro Kodama, believed that it was enough to withstand the attack of the Cam Ranh Bay troops. Once the three Cam Ranh Bay divisions were in a stalemate in Wonju, Nogi Nogi's third army would rush to the battlefield, cut off the enemy's retreat and launch an attack.
Both sides invested a large amount of troops in this battle. The three divisions of Cam Ranh Bay crossed the Han River. The advance troops approached Wonju. In order to hide his strategic purpose, Kodama Gentaro did not rush to let the third army take action and prepared to wait for Cam Ranh Bay to begin the siege.
Then let the Third Army go north. After learning that the Cam Ranh Bay troops had begun shelling Wonju, Gentaro Kodama issued an order to Nogi Nogi, asking him to cut off the rear of the three divisions from Cam Ranh Bay to launch an attack at all costs.
More than 160 mountain artillery pieces under the Wonju Castle roared wildly, constantly bombarding the enemy's artillery positions. The Wonju Japanese army followed Gentaro Kodama's order to defend and did not leave the city to fight the Camran Bay army. They waited for the third army led by Nogi Nogi
to turn the tide of the war. More than a hundred artillery pieces were bombarded, which just confirmed Kodama Gentaro's judgment that all three enemy divisions were in Wanshu.
The person responsible for directing the artillery bombardment was only Guan Lianhai, the commander of the artillery regiment. There were only 5,000 troops under Wonzhou City, and the three main divisions were not in Seoul. Bai Chongxi once again paralyzed the Japanese commander. The artillery brigade originally in Seoul plus the direct subordinates of the player's first division
The Artillery Regiment undertook the task of feigning an attack on Wonju
The three main divisions did not rush to Wonju, but set up pocket formations at the Han River to wait for the enemy's reinforcements. Bai Chongxi's encirclement and reinforcements plan was extremely bold. There was only one artillery brigade under Suwon City, and if the enemies in the city dared to attack, they would definitely suffer heavy losses. However, he boldly judged that there were more than a hundred artillery pieces preparing for artillery fire, and the Japanese would probably misjudge. He believed that there were three main divisions at Cam Ranh Bay under Wonju City.
Gentaro Kodama, the "wise general", was indeed fooled. He thought he could annihilate the main force of Cam Ranh Bay and win a great victory. In the end, he ruined Nogi Nogi's third army. There were more than 50,000 Japanese troops and two divisions. regiment, but Nogi Hidenori's Third Army had a brigade left to guard Chungshu, with a total number of only about 40,000.
The Japanese division completely followed the establishment of the German Army Division. The Type A division had about 26,000 people, which was equivalent to an army in China. Yuan Shikai's Beiyang town only had about 12,000 people. When Chen Hao established the NPC unit in the early stage, the division-level unit It was based on the Beiyang organization. However, as the arsenal produced more and more heavy weapons, when it was expanded, it was completely based on the German army divisions, and its firepower configuration was even stronger than the German divisions.
The 4th, 5th, and 7th divisions had a total strength of more than 80,000, twice as many as the Japanese Third Army. They laid traps along the Han River. Sun Chuanfang's Fourth Division let the Japanese Third Army pass, and waited until the Third Army When he plunged into the pockets set by the 5th and 7th Divisions, he led the 4th Division to cut off the enemy's retreat.
The Battle of Hanjiang has begun. The number of troops participating in this battle has reached an astonishing 120,000, and all of them are elite troops. Nogi Nogi's Third Army is a veteran and powerful army established during the Meiji Restoration, and its combat effectiveness ranks among the top of the Japanese army; Cam Ranh Bay The three divisions were formed not long ago, but they have been baptized by the war in western Sichuan. Their weapon configuration includes 150mm howitzers, 75mm mountain guns and various mortars. They completely defeated the Third Army in terms of firepower.
Kodama Gentaro was the most intelligent general in Japan during the Meiji period. He was known as the reincarnation of Toyotomi Hideyoshi because he paid special attention to the virtuous cycle of military power and economic power. During the Russo-Japanese War, he served as the chief of staff of the Manchurian Army and was the actual commander of the capture of Port Arthur. , together with Katsura Taro and Kawakami Soroku, are known as the Three Heroes of the Meiji Army.
This famous Japanese general should have died in 1906 in history. In order to let him live longer, Japanese players completed a difficult task. After receiving treatment, Kodama Gentaro's life time in the game can be increased by ten years, becoming The commander of the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea. I wonder how the player who desperately tried to save Gentaro Kodama's life felt when he learned that Gentaro Kodama kept making mistakes and suffered heavy losses to the Japanese army due to major mistakes in command.
Kodama Gentaro has been famous for many years, but he underestimated the young generals at Cam Ranh Bay, so he suffered a big loss. After receiving the news that Nogi Nogi's third army was besieged, he was depressed for a long time. He was determined to win this battle and mobilized all his abilities. How will the mobilized troops be used to support the Third Army now?
There is also a brigade stationed in Chungju, but this number of troops is obviously not enough. Sending them out will only expand the enemy's results. There is one NPC division and two player divisions in Wonju, but when the battle of Han River started, Cam Ranh Bay feinted. The artillery brigade has retreated westward. After this artillery brigade merged with the three main divisions, Cam Ranh Bay could completely detach a division to defend the Japanese army rushing to the direction of Wonzhou, but it would not be able to rescue the third army for a while.
What's worse is that the Russian Eighth Army and the Sixth Division of Cam Ranh Bay stationed in Chunchuan are approaching south, and their target is Hengcheng, which is adjacent to Wonju. Once Wonju and Hengcheng are lost, all routes for the Japanese army's retreat in Seoul will be cut off.
, it is very likely to repeat the mistakes of the first Russo-Japanese War.
After thinking for a long time, Kodama Gentaro decided to issue an order. The three divisions stationed in Wonju were not moved, and one of them went to Hengcheng to strengthen the defense. In addition, he transferred two player divisions from the south to go north. These two divisions will be responsible for
Chungshu's defense, as for Nogi Nogi's third army, could only be left to fend for itself.
The Battle of the Han River lasted for twelve days. Nogi Nogi's Third Army performed extremely tenaciously, but in the end they could not avoid the fate of destruction. After this battle, the commander of the Seventh Division of Cam Ranh Bay, Bai Chongxi, who was only 20 years old, became famous all over the world.
, major newspapers and magazines carried overwhelming reports.
Only 2,000 Nogi Nogi's Third Army escaped. The destruction of one and a half of the main divisions had a great impact on the Japanese army's strategic deployment. Seoul also became critical. Player troops recruited by Cam Ranh Bay and Russia have accepted
He accepted the mission issued by the NPC and launched successive attacks on Seoul at all costs.
The Japanese troops garrisoned in Seoul suffered heavy casualties. Most of the garrison troops were NPC troops, so Gentaro Kodama couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Although the losses in Cam Ranh Bay and Russia were greater, the player troops were responsible for the heavy task of siege, and the only losses were levels and weapons. Japan
Some of the players participating in the war mission were stationed in Wonju and some in Chungju, and they simply did not dare to go north to strengthen the defense of Seoul.
The Battle of Seoul lasted for a month. In the end, Gentaro Kodama made the decision to abandon Seoul and ordered the three divisions in Seoul to retreat to Wonju. Seoul was captured by the coalition forces, and the Russian commander Kuropatkin did not do well in the battle.
, but he is a good player in fighting for the fruits of victory. In order to prevent Cam Ranh Bay from taking over Seoul, he did not issue tasks to Chinese players in the last few days of the siege battle, but ordered Russian players and NPC troops to jointly attack the city.
Chen Hao pretended not to see Kuropalkin's little belly. He had no intention of competing for territory with the Russians. Now he would be more generous and paralyze the Russians. No matter how much victory Russia achieved, when the First World War broke out, their focus would be on the Western Front.
At that time, he had plenty of opportunities to capture North Korea and regain the land ceded by Tsarist Russia.
Kodama Gentaro's decision to abandon Seoul was right. The disastrous defeats in the Battle of Suwon and the Battle of the Han River made the Japanese army extremely passive. Abandoning Seoul consolidated the defense line. After the coalition occupied Seoul, they fought with the Japanese army around Wonju, Hengseong, Chungju and other places.
, both sides did not gain the upper hand.
Jiang Baili and Cai E also rushed to North Korea. They once again submitted a combat plan to Chen Hao. After Wu Peifu, Bai Chongxi, Chen Shaokuan and others improved the plan, it became an S-level. The combat plan was mainly developed by Jiang and Cai Er.
It was completed by Yang Du and Yang Xizi, but the idea was provided by Yang Du and Yang Xizi, so the plan was full of conspiracy.
Commander Yang Du has poor attributes, but he knows very well that the key to the Korean War is the navy. As long as the Japanese navy is annihilated, the Korean army in Japan will be finished. When talking with Jiang Baili and Cai E, he proposed a plan to attract the main force of the Japanese navy.
After being attracted by the idea, Jiang Baili and Cai E came up with a complete battle plan.
