Glorious Mission 1937

On February 1944, 2, when the Japanese army was retreating towards Sinuiju and Yongchuan County in North Korea, the 9th Infantry Division and the 19nd Brigade of the 19rd Cavalry Division of the Puppet Manchukuo National Defense Army mutinied collectively. After Li Guoyao killed the division commander Wang Haihu, he led the whole division to revolt, and then the commander of the third puppet cavalry division led a brigade to respond.

Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the Japanese army, the uprising troops occupied the arsenal of the 154th Division of the Japanese Army, and withdrew to a mountain in the northwest of Yongcheon County to stand for reinforcements.At the same time, a report was sent to Li Yifeng's unit who was crossing the river, requesting support.After receiving the telegram from the rebel army, Li Yifeng was overjoyed, and personally led the armored troops forward to Longchuan County for rescue.

Neiji Okamura was extremely angry about the mutiny of the puppet army. He ordered the 154th infantry division on the front line to destroy the uprising troops with less than [-] people at all costs. If you can receive food and ammunition for no more than two days, you need to report to the Kwantung Army Command for more than two days.

The 154th Division of the Japanese Army is a third-class division newly formed by the base camp not long ago. 80% of them are recruits, and their combat effectiveness is not strong at all. Not bad, so for a while, the Japanese army could hold the position of the rebel army, and the two sides entangled endlessly in Dalong Mountain in Longchuan County, and no one could do anything to the other.

The other party learned that a division of the Japanese army had stayed to encircle and suppress the rebel army. Overjoyed, he ordered the rebel army to hold back the 154th division at all costs. His troops could arrive in Longchuan County within 8 hours at the latest.

February 2 at eleven o'clock in the evening.The two sides have been fighting in Dalongshan for 9 hours, and both sides have suffered heavy casualties. Since the Chinese National Defense Forces have crossed the Yalu River, Major General Ito, the head of the 15th Division, requested to withdraw from the battle immediately to prevent being surrounded by Chinese troops. .

Neiji Okamura was not stupid. He knew that once the 154th Division was entangled, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it was likely to be completely wiped out. After thinking twice, he agreed with the 154th Division to withdraw from the battle.

However.The Japanese wanted to withdraw.The rebel army disagreed, and it was less than an hour before the eight hours Li Yifeng said, how could they let these little devils run away!Under the command of Li Guoyao, the leader of the rebel army, the remaining more than 7000 rebel troops took the initiative to launch a crazy attack on the Japanese army.The two sides started a gun battle.Then there was a group charge and a bayonet fight.

When Li Yifeng rushed to the battlefield, he was stunned by the scene.The low peak of Dalong Mountain was almost flattened, and there were corpses everywhere on the hillside. Neither of the two warring parties noticed a steel lion appearing not far from them.They are all fighting with forgetfulness.

In this raging battle, Li Yifeng saw that the two troops with almost the same outfits were almost evenly matched, and no one had the upper hand. If the fight continues like this, both sides may suffer or die together.

Li Yifeng ordered the troops to rush to the battlefield immediately, divide and encircle the two troops, and then assist the rebel army to eliminate the little devil.

The 154th Division was completely wiped out, and in less than an hour, a third-class division of the Japanese army was completely wiped out.Unlike the past, which would rather die than surrender, facing the more than 600 steel chariots under Li Yifeng's command, the Japanese army's will to fight quickly collapsed. More than 8 of the more than 5000 Japanese troops chose to surrender, and more than 3000 who were unwilling to surrender were all killed. Annihilating.

The successful uprising of the 19th Division of the Puppet Manchukuo Infantry seems to have detonated a huge explosive, which caused an uproar among the puppet troops. All the puppet troops seemed to see hope. escaped, and there were even two small-scale uprisings, but they were easily extinguished by the Japanese army.

Neiji Okamura was deeply disturbed. The state of the puppet army was too unstable. Not only would it not be a boost to the Imperial Japanese Army, but it was more and more likely to become resistance. There are too many, and there are less than 10 people left. After careful consideration and reporting to the headquarters, Okamura Ningji ordered the disarmament of all puppet troops on February 2, and transferred all the less than 28 people to logistics Civil husband.

This approach of the Japanese army completely angered the puppet army. Less than half an hour after the order was issued, two infantry regiments mutinied, and then many puppet regiments responded. All the troops joined the rebel army and fought against 28+ Japanese troops.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yifeng ordered his troops to launch a full-line assault immediately. More than 30 vanguard troops rushed down like wild horses and floods that broke the embankment, and the Japanese defense line was destroyed like paper.

At the same time, 240 warships from the Chinese Navy and the Soviet Far East Fleet, carrying 3 Soviet Red Army divisions, landed at Wonsan in central North Korea and headed for Pyongyang, an important city in North Korea.

The Japanese army, which was attacked from the north and the south, seemed to be stunned and could not organize effective resistance at all. In the absence of armor and artillery power, and at the same time lost air and sea control, even Neiji Okamura felt desperate about the situation.The only thing the Japanese military units can do is to retreat and retreat to South Korea.

While the situation in North Korea was out of control, the Japanese army also suffered unprecedented blows in the Burmese battlefield and the Philippine battlefield. On the Burmese battlefield, the Burmese front army of the three generals Zheng Hebian was defeated by Xue Yue's 12 reorganized divisions. In the third battle of Mandalay, the Japanese army Five divisions were disabled, two of them were wiped out, and all units suffered heavy losses. After this battle, they lost their ability to attack.

After turning to the defensive, the Japanese army was even more vulnerable. In front of the armored units of the Chinese National Defense Forces, the Japanese army's defense line was simply vulnerable.In addition, before that, Xue Yue had met with Aung San, the leader of the Myanmar Independence Army. Aung San agreed that Myanmar should be merged with China, and the Burmese army he led would also be merged into the Chinese National Defense Force after driving out the Japanese.

With the assistance of Aung San and his troops, Xue Yue's troops were progressing smoothly. Xue Yue's troops often bypassed the Japanese fortresses that were heavily defended, and directly attacked their rear, although there were more than a dozen on the road leading to southern Myanmar. The Japanese stronghold is still holding on, but the Japanese army has been beaten back steadily in the entire strategic direction of the fight, and it is infinitely close to Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar.

而在菲律宾战场，日军第14方面军的14个师团、8个混成旅团以及1个坦克师团、1个航空军也遭到了盟军的重创。

The Japanese army deployed 30 troops on the Philippine battlefield, and the Allied forces used to attack only more than 30 troops. Originally, the two sides were evenly matched, but the Allied navy completely broke this balance.

On February 2, the Allied naval fleet locked the main force of the Japanese combined fleet with the cooperation of the radar force, and then assembled 17 large and small ships to encircle and suppress them. The two sides engaged in a sea battle in Wright Gulf.

At this time, the Japanese navy was also looking for fighters to fight to the death with the allied navy, not because the strength of the Japanese navy had increased, but because the Japanese aviation team stationed on Treasure Island lied about the results of the battle to the base camp, claiming to "sink the Allied aircraft carrier" 11 ships, 8 aircraft carriers were damaged, and 4 battleships were sunk, for a total of 45 ships were sunk".

This is terrible, how many warships does the Allied Forces have, 400? 500 or 1000?This is indeed difficult to calculate, but it is easy to calculate how many main aircraft carriers and battleships the Allies have. There are no more than 30 aircraft carriers and less than 15 battleships. Now the air force has sunk and damaged so many enemy warships at once. , This made many people, including Emperor Showa, mistakenly believe that the main force of the Allied navy and air force had been wiped out, so they directly ordered the staff officer Ryuzo Sejima to change the location of the decisive battle, and ordered the navy to look for opportunities to annihilate the remaining Allied naval fleet.

Oolong was put out like this. When the 177 large and small warships of the Japanese Combined Fleet met the Allied Fleet in Wright Gulf, the Japanese Navy was stunned. Nima, is this the main force being wiped out? Are there 20 aircraft carriers, yes, definitely enough! Are there 20 battleships, yes, definitely enough!

The Japanese Navy was tricked by their own people. There is no way to do it. They can still live if they do evil. If this is self-inflicted, then there must be no way out.The combined fleet of the Japanese army in the Wright Gulf naval battle was almost completely wiped out. Only the [-] or [-] ships of the North Korean Third Fleet were still lingering, and the rest were either captured or sent to the bottom of the sea.

In this battle, the guided missile cruisers of the Chinese Navy shined brilliantly, shooting down 340 Japanese carrier-based aircraft and sinking more than 80 Japanese ships, including the flagship of the Japanese Combined Fleet.

The Japanese navy is the nurse of the army, and no one denies this, because without the navy, the strategic materials needed by the army and the supplementary soldiers would not be able to reach the army.

The Japanese army in the Philippines is now facing the embarrassing situation of being weaned. After the failure of the navy, the food needed by the Japanese army on the Philippine island must be collected on the spot, and the ammunition can only be saved. In addition, there is a small arsenal in Manila Some ordinary bullets and shells can be supplied, and the rest are gone. Don't think about medicine and supplementary soldiers, there is no such thing at all.

More importantly, with the defeat of the navy, the Japanese army on the Philippine island became a bastard in the urn.And where are the reinforcements?Fengwen Yamashita didn't know, and Shouichi in Temple didn't know either.

It is hopeless to count on the Japanese mainland. Without a navy, even if there are ready-made troops, they cannot be transported to the Philippines. Fortunately, there are more than [-] troops on the island. Method.

Now many Japanese officers and soldiers are not as optimistic about the war as before. No one is a fool, and they all know what to fight. This is different from fighting. The war between countries is about the economy and logistics. The economy is on the verge of collapse, and the logistics are about to be paralyzed. Once the navy is defeated, the logistics needs to be handled by the frontline troops. How long such troops can last, Terauchi Shouichi and Yamashita Fufumi have no idea. (To be continued..)
