blood feud

When the vanguard of Chen Jie's second division was going smoothly, Wei Chong's fourth division was also bloodless, occupying the front lines of Xingnan Port, Xianxing, Xinshangli, and Huangcaoling in disgust.

Wei Chong was different from Chen Jie. He directly drove an armored vehicle and personally commanded the first assault group.The subsequent second wave of assault troops was handed over to deputy division commander Zhao Sanbao, and the follow-up and deployment of the third wave of large troops was all handed over to Chief of Staff Wang Sanju.

Wei Chong rushed to the port of Xingnan first, and found that all the usable things had been turned into scrap iron. He was shocked: "How can this be done? It's all in ruins, and it must be completely rebuilt. Boss, what will happen in the future?" Something to support the large army?"

"Receiver, send a telegram to the headquarters immediately." Wei Chong saw that this battle could not be fought indiscriminately: "Report to the commander-in-chief: the destructive power of the cloud bomb is too strong. All industrial and civilian facilities have been destroyed, and it will be too difficult to rebuild in the future."

"I suggest that the Air Force's future bombings should specifically select military targets instead of random bombing. Especially the bombing of towns must be limited to a certain range. After all, this is our own territory, and everything we destroy It's our own."

As soon as Bai Shujie received the telegram, he immediately applauded: "Okay, the little junior in the secret camp of the ancient tomb has finally grown up and has a relatively long-term strategic vision. He is no longer a stunned young man. This suggestion is very timely!"

"This guy is extremely smart, he just likes to brag about himself, his nostrils are up!" Zhao Jinxi said with a smile, "But his suggestion is indeed very timely. If the bombing continues like this, Chengjin's industrial zone will be completely scrapped, and it's useless for us to seize it. Instead, it takes a lot of energy to rebuild, and the gains outweigh the losses.”

A telegram from Wei Chong touched a chord in Bai Shujie's heart, and a very urgent research and development plan was introduced. The Air Force will soon add a flying brigade: the Strategic Reconnaissance Flying Brigade.

To form such a brigade, there must be a high-altitude, high-speed, high-range reconnaissance aircraft that can take pictures.Bai Shujie made a phone call to the Institute of Physics of the Comprehensive Research Institute and issued the "Order on the Urgent Development of Electronically Controlled Aerial Cameras".

Not long after, Bai Shujie made another phone call to Meng En of the Engine Research Institute, and at the same time issued the "Order on Using the DC-3 Medium-Range Transport Aircraft to Refit a Long-Range Reconnaissance Aircraft".

Order requirements: Remove unnecessary auxiliary facilities, and add two built-in fuel tanks in the wings.Replace the existing engine, the maximum flatness is 720 km/h, the cruising speed is 480 km/h, the range is 6600 km, and the service ceiling is 10000 meters.

装备2门30mm机头航炮，2挺12.7mm机尾航空机枪。安装雷达预警系统和敌我识别系统，安装4座电控长焦广角照相机，机组定编4人。

"The dc-3 transport aircraft is still not good." After sending the order, Bai Shujie felt a little regretful: "The speed is not enough, the altitude is not enough. The range is not enough, which means that the time in the air is not enough, and the scope of investigation is too small. It seems that the development of a large A high-speed, long-range bomber is already imperative."

Press Bai Shujie to plan strategic issues at the headquarters, leaving aside for the time being.

It is said that after the two formations of the air force completed the first round of bombing, Chen Jie's second division, Wei Chong's fourth division, and the armored regiment had all rushed to the west bank of the river to fight.

In other words, after a round of surprise attacks, the front line of the troops advanced 170 kilometers to the east on average.Controlled the line from Hongyuan in the south to Linjiang in the north, cutting off the connection between the 19th Division of the Little Devils and the direction of Wonsan.

So far, the little devil's two infantry division headquarters and two fortress headquarters on the Korean peninsula have been divided into two isolated parts, the north and the south.The coastlines on the east and west sides of Pyongyang have no enemies for the time being.

After Bai Shujie received the first battle report from the front line, he immediately ordered the armored division directly under the headquarters to push the east line of defense directly to the seaside of Wonsan Port.

To say that this air defense division is actually a hodgepodge.Division Commander Gan Tong (concurrently), Deputy Division Commander Zhang Erleng, and Chief of Staff Ling Kaishan.Jurisdiction:

40mm anti-aircraft artillery regiment (2452 people): Tan Mingliang, head of the regiment, has 40 half-track quadruple 96mm anti-aircraft guns;

88mm anti-aircraft artillery regiment (2452 people): Luo Qingsong, the head of the regiment, has 88 half-track double-linked 72mm high-level dual-purpose guns;

Armored Train Regiment (2452 people): 12 armored trains (one pair of 203mm and 88mm anti-aircraft guns);

Dual-purpose armored regiment (2452 people): 96 rail land armored vehicles (each equipped with a 20mm six-tube Phalanx);

Armored Transport Regiment (2452 people): 4 armed freight trains, 72 trucks, and 24 escort armored vehicles.

In addition, there is a guard battalion, a supply battalion, and the entire armored division has 14522 people.

To participate in front-line battles, rail armored vehicles do not have railways, and armored transport regiments are of course meaningless; Tan Mingliang's 40mm anti-aircraft artillery regiment cannot move because they have to defend the vital parts of Heiling and Dacheng Mountains.So the active one is Luo Qingsong's 88mm anti-aircraft gun regiment.

From the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain in the east, they deployed four battalions in a row, and built their own air defense positions in Maoshan Port, Wonsan Port, Wenchuan, and Plateau.

It was also Bai Shujie's order that provided powerful fire support to the First Division of the Xu Sanjiang Division of the Korean People's Liberation Army to eliminate the remnants of the Yongxing Bay Fortress.

Wonsan Port is called Yongxing Bay. It is a huge backwater bay and a natural deep-water wharf area.It is one of the four major ports in North Korea that little devils care about most.

第15重炮联队2700余人，防守着薪岛第1炮台、薪岛第2炮台，大岛第1炮台、大岛第2炮台，虎岛第1炮台、虎岛第2炮台、虎岛第3炮台、虎岛第4炮台，新樟里炮台、元平里炮台、莺城炮台、南端炮台。

Although all the forts are defending the sea, it is not an easy task to rush into the fortress and slaughter more than 700 little devils.

The dw88mm high-level dual-purpose gun is good at fighting tanks, armored vehicles, and bunkers in addition to shooting aircraft.After more than four hours of continuous bombardment by 72 twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns, all the fort fortresses became slaughterhouses.

The commander of the Yongxing Fortress, Hisashi Tanaka, finally carried forward the spirit of Bushido, led the remaining 100 people, and launched a desperate charge against more than 200 cannons!In the end, they were all killed by assault rifles more than [-] meters in front of the position!

The biggest gain of this battle was the complete capture of 36 460mm fortress guns and 55200 rounds of shells in reserve.

Not only that, but Luo Qingsong, the head of the regiment, performed super-levelly. He even used the dw88mm high-level dual-purpose gun as a shore gun, and used the high rate of fire to form intensive fire. Dozens of cargo ships in Hong Kong and Xingnan Port that were about to escape were all forced to the shore and captured prisoners.

After Bai Shujie received the report, he immediately ordered the Pyongyang City Government to urgently dispatch 2500 tons of cement and 750 tons of steel, and organize 2000 workers to repair all the forts as soon as possible.The Artillery Regiment of the First Division of the Korean Liberation Army transferred a battalion to take over all the fortresses here.

At the same time, the ground forces took the time to consolidate their fronts, but the air force did not have this scruple.Before the enemy has fully reacted, it is necessary to strike while the iron is hot.

Therefore, Zhang Nianzu, Commander of the Air Force, ordered two formations of heavy bombers to fight an additional round, this time directly hitting Chengjin Port, blowing up all the docks, and cutting off the enemy's escape from the sea.Then continue to raid in depth, directly bombing Ronan and Huining.

这一次的轰炸目标，也就是罗南的第19师团指挥部、第75、76步兵联队、第25山炮联队和坦克中队；其次就是会宁的第73步兵联队和第14重炮联队。

Zhang Nianzu's guiding ideology is very clear: Back then, the Northeast Army was unable to stop its strong defense line and was forced to retreat again and again. The key is that the little devil's planes are always bombing in front.

Now that I have a plane, and the quality is better, and the bomb is more powerful, if I don't give it to the little devil, it's too much to justify.

The Korean peninsula is originally a long and narrow area, with a width of only a few hundred kilometers from east to west. The combat radius of the b-17 bomber exceeds 1200 kilometers, and there is enough time to pour all the ammunition down.

Because of this, after throwing down the 4 bombs they carried, the bomber formation circled around, and then began to shoot back and forth with cannons.Let the little devil have no idea what happened, nor who the enemy is.

The blitzkrieg designed by Bai Shujie finally saw its effect.

Throughout the day of July 1939, 7, the little devils on the Korean peninsula spent time amidst the roar of planes, bombardment of aerial bombs, and strafing of aircraft cannons.This resulted in a breakdown of communications between all levels of command and a complete disconnect between all units.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon on July 7, Chen Jie and Wei Chong had just connected on the radio. They heard that the Air Force did not rest at all, but was preparing to raid overnight. This was a good opportunity.Therefore, after the two men negotiated again, they decided that the two armored regiments would attack overnight.

Wei Chong's [-]th Armored Regiment advanced along the coastline, while Chen Jie's [-]nd Armored Regiment continued eastward along the Yalu River, and then flanked Chengjin, capturing this important industrial site in one fell swoop.The second and fourth machine gun regiments followed up quickly and further expanded the results.

As of about 7:28 p.m. on July 600, more than [-] people from a coast guard team on the front line of Chengjin Port were all compressed into an abandoned long pit in Yiyedong Iron Mine.

It's not that these little devils have a long life, but that the bomber formation has received an emergency order from Bai Shujie. For the bombing of Chengjin Port, it must obey the command of the ground troops.This will be my own industrial base from now on, so we must not smash all the pots and pans into pieces.

Even so, facing the siege of two armored regiments and nearly 900 armored vehicles, a garrison team of more than [-] people could not gain a foothold at all.Finally, they were driven out of the city like ducks, and their end was coming!

This time it was not the Sky Fortress b-17, but the Type 600 light bomber produced by the little devil himself. More than [-] little devils watched their most familiar fighter jet roaring down, and then the bomb fell on the top of their heads, and then, there was nothing else.

Chengjin District was liberated!

After Chen Jie and Wei Chong communicated by telegram, they could barely confirm that the two field divisions consisted of more than 33000 people, and they ran a long-distance attack of 200 kilometers. In the end, they annihilated less than 2000 enemies, which were just two garrison brigades.Moreover, most of these people were wiped out by the Air Force, and the field divisions were left to run away.

The biggest gain is the liberation of 9 counties and the recapture of 4 ports.

At about three o'clock in the morning on July 1939, 7, Wei Chong's 29th Machine Gun Regiment finally arrived at Chengjin Port, and Chen Jie's [-]nd Machine Gun Regiment also rushed to the Huishan line on the north side of the Yalu River. in one breath.

Because the next step is to really enter the combat state, because the 19th Division and the Ronan Fortress Command are in front, and there are three infantry regiments, a mountain artillery regiment, a 14th heavy artillery regiment, and a tank brigade. There are more than 15000 troops.

After all, what happens next, let's see the breakdown in the next chapter.
