Chapter 302 The Great Counterattack in Seoul (5)
The 'Pyongyang Defense Line' is just a name. This defense line that divides the Korean Peninsula into two is 250 kilometers long and is located in a mountainous area of more than 100 kilometers south of Pyongyang.
There are a large number of mountains on the defense line. The tops of those high peaks are covered with white snow. When they are illuminated by the sun, golden light is reflected, like gilding. Then, the mountains are shaking. Some of the tops of the mountain collapsed, and the beautiful snow tops instantly became fragmented.
The main attack point of the Japanese army was placed on a width of 70 kilometers at the westernmost end of the Pyongyang defense line. The terrain here is relatively flat. Once it breaks through, it will directly attack the Pyongyang plain area.
More than 400 heavy artillery bombarded the high ground as the support point of the defense line, and the barbed wire mesh. The trench that could be seen with naked eyes instantly turned into powder under the fierce artillery fire.
The members of the British quarantine observation team were sighing when they saw the nightmare that they had finally forgotten reappeared in front of them. The British observer members sighed: "It's the Japanese turn to be on the battlefield this time."
A few years ago, shells swept across the British and French positions like heavy rain. British officials felt the throbbing and tremor brought by the fear of death in the bunker, and Japanese observers watched the war in a safe position.
French observers quickly returned to reality from memories. Someone took out his pocket watch and looked at it. With countless thunderous roars ten kilometers away as the background sound, he shouted: "It's been five minutes!"

Other French observers took out pocket watches, and the seconds hand turned on the dial less than two circles, and the new sound of shelling was added to the chorus of heavy artillery. Observers from Britain and France made judgments at their own locations based on the whistling of shells and the sound of landing explosions. "It is indeed a 120-caliber artillery." "Is the artillery of the Northeast Army... very good quality?"
The Japanese heavy artillery cluster shouted and neighed. On the first artillery cluster, the heavy 150 heavy artillery group began to move with animal power and human power. Although it had not been accurately hit by the Northeast Army's heavy artillery, the basic position of the Japanese heavy artillery was exposed. At this time, the position must be quickly transferred and bombarded the Northeast Army's heavy artillery group at the next security location.
Japan's second-heavy artillery group began to counterattack based on the approximate position determined by the ballistics. After the eight backup bullets on the artillery mount were quickly fired, the second-heavy artillery group also began to transfer positions.
At this time, clouds of cannons suddenly bloomed in the sky, which was the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery that began to bombard the Northeast Army aircraft. The Japanese army did not think that they had the ability to directly hit the Northeast Army aircraft flying at a speed of more than 100 kilometers with shells. The anti-aircraft artillery shells were timed fumes, and then exploded after flying into the air. They tried to use fragments flying across the sky to kill the Northeast Army aircraft.
The Northeast Army's aircraft had already raised the limit and flew in a considerable maneuverable mode, trying to prevent the Japanese army from grasping the trajectory of the aircraft.
British and French military observers also noticed these changes, and the feeling of returning to the Western Front became even stronger.
At this moment, the army of six Japanese divisions began to attack the Northeast Army's positions, just like the British and French troops on the Western Front of the European War.
The artillery battle began between the heavy artillery between the two sides, and there was no more force to implement firepower suppression. The Japanese infantry rushed out of the trenches, carried rifles and 50 mortars on their backs to start the first round of attack.
At this time, large masses of smoke suddenly emerged from the long positions of the Northeast Army, and the large masses of barbed wire mesh launchers pushed into the air. The strips that tied the barbed wire mesh together broke in the air. The stones wrapped in iron bars in the front section had huge inertia, pulled the barbed wire mesh apart and fell to the ground.
After a while, as the stones broke, the wire mesh rolled into a circle contracted elastically against itself, and once again pulled up barbed wire mesh at the originally destroyed position.

The Japanese army, who were attacking, thought they could rush into the Northeast Army's positions without hesitation, but they were placed in traps laid by layers of barbed wire. The Japanese army, which were hooked by barbed wire, let the cross-fire of machine guns fly across like a good target. The Japanese army trapped in the barbed wire was another type of target. If they hesitate, they would be killed. If they act, they would fall into the thorny trap of iron wire.
Whether to be killed by a bullet or to death by hanging it on a barbed wire mesh is indeed a choice to test human nature.
The subsequent Japanese army immediately used 50 mortars to attack the Northeast Army's firepower points, and then they were counterattacked by the Northeast Army's infantry support artillery. The Japanese 75 artillery, mortar and machine gun points, which were completely exposed to the battlefield, were fired by the Northeast Army's 75 artillery, mortar and machine guns.
The bullet-killing shields and machine gun shields sounded ping-pong, but the Northeast Army's bunkers could provide maximum protection, while the Japanese army was exposed to the battlefield. Within 20 minutes, the Japanese army's front-line firepower points were four times that of the Northeast Army. The Japanese army, which had lost the firepower support on the battlefield, was pressed to the front line by the Northeast. As long as someone dared to show up, they would be knocked down by flying bullets.
As the main force of the attack, the division commander of the 9th Division, Lieutenant General Shosaburo Hoshino, saw that the attack was blocked, immediately asked the division's artillery to move forward quickly, put on the front line, and requested weapon support from the rear.
The Japanese battlefield infantry support firepower was quickly replenished and continued to fire at the Northeast Army's dense firepower points. Some of the Northeast Army's positions on the front of the 6th division were bombarded by 150 artillery. Similarly, some parts of the long-term starting positions of the 6th divisions of the Japanese army were bombarded by 120 artillery of the Northeast Army.
The heavy artillery groups of both sides were moving at this time. The front-line positions were only at a depth of no more than 5 kilometers. Whether it was the 150 artillery of the Japanese army or the 120 heavy artillery of the Northeast Army, they all had a range of 10 kilometers. The observation levels of the artillery of both sides were comparable. More than 900 150 artillery of the Japanese army and 1100 120 artillery of the Northeast Army were constantly moving in the area behind their positions of 705=350 square kilometers. After stopping, they immediately adjusted the design elements and opened fire on the enemy.
The two sides were unable to organize large-scale artillery bombardment, but the artillery bombardment of a small number of artillery can have a great effect on a certain position. The firepower points on the Northeast Army's positions were immediately blown up, and the Japanese positions were also bombarded, and the troops preparing to attack were very casualties. However, the positions that were bombarded between the two sides were not opposite one by one. At least the firepower points of the Northeast Army opposite the Japanese starting position of the 9th Division were completely weakened. The Japanese infantry on the position reversed the suppression situation and began to suppress the Northeast Army.
Without even the commander of the brigade himself, the commander of the regiment issued an order to attack the brigade. Most of the snow between the positions of both sides disappeared. One-third of the snow disappeared under the shelling, one-third disappeared under the trampling of the Japanese offensive troops, and one-third were covered by the bodies of the wounded soldiers hanging on the barbed wire and the dead soldiers of the battle.
On the ground on the first position leading to the Northeast Army, the bodies and the wounded Japanese soldiers who were hung on the barbed wire mesh and could hardly see the barbed wire mesh. The obstacles on the road finally could not hinder the large army's attack. The middle and low-level officers on the front line of the five offensive positions of the Japanese 9th Division threw down their heavy cotton coats, the low-level officers picked up their rifles, and the intermediate officers pulled out their command knives, and issued orders to charge to the troops.

"His Majesty the Emperor - onboard!" With this shout that best gathers Japanese consensus, it sounded.
The Japanese soldiers shouted "Onboard!" together and jumped out of the trenches and started an attack on the Northeast Army's positions. The blood of Japanese casualties sprayed on the snow, and they had frozen into red ice. These ice cubes were trampled at the feet of the new round of attacks, making a crisp breaking sound. Although there were many sounds, they were insignificant on the boiling battlefield and no one heard of them.
On the positions on both sides of the offensive troops, although the Japanese army did not gain any advantage in firepower and could not participate in the joint attack, the positions at the joints were still allowed to not only attack the positions facing the Japanese offensive troops, but also at least a round of artillery shells to kill and injure the Northeast Army on the positions as much as possible.
Seeing the Japanese attack, Zhuang Pengyun, deputy commander of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Regiment of the 5th Army of the Northeast Army, which was located in the central position, brought a platoon to catch up. The position was defended by the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Regiment. The battalion commander was killed in battle under heavy artillery bombardment just now, and even his body was not found. More than ten minutes earlier, the deputy battalion commander had also been killed. The regiment commander immediately sent Deputy Commander Zhuang Pengyun to take over the command.
After entering the position, Zhuang Pengyun immediately asked the battalion political commissar, "How much ammunition is left!"
When the battalion political commissar saw that it was the deputy regiment commander who took over the command, he breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied, "The ammunition has just been transported up, and it is all in one place."
Zhuang Pengyun was very confident that as long as there was sufficient ammunition, the Japanese army's current equipment and troops could not achieve a breakthrough.
As Zhuang Pengyun expected, although the troops lost the battalion commander and deputy battalion commander, the companies still rely on their positions to block the attack. The machine guns spit out flames at the Japanese offensive passage, and the mortar positions with solid bunkers opened fire one after another. The mobile mortar team immediately moved their positions after three shots.
The Japanese army did not rush forward straight. Zhuang Yunpeng watched the Japanese army skillfully relying on various hidden terrains to avoid the shooting of the Northeast Army. When the infantry in the rear of the army opened fire violently to suppress the Northeast Army's fire, the Japanese army quickly moved their positions and continued to move forward. Until they approached about 30 meters, there was no cover to rely on, they suddenly started to attack with the classic straggler line tactics.
The Northeast Army, which has conducted too many offensive and defensive trainings against the Japanese army, is familiar with this set of Japanese tactics. Moreover, the Northeast Army itself is based on this principle of war.

Zhuang Pengyun has been in the army for 6 years. Before joining the army, Zhuang Pengyun thought that the officers were commanding the soldiers to fight majesticly or leading their subordinates to fight. At this time, Zhuang Pengyun had no more of those ideas.
After scanning the two sides of the war, Zhuang Pengyun did not pay attention to the single battle, but observed the battle between the enemy and us.
The 75 artillery suppressed the Japanese artillery, the mortars attacked the Japanese army's gathering forces, and the machine guns strafed the Japanese army's line and the rushing points. Now the Japanese infantry has begun to attack, and the Northeast Army's infantry fired the rushing points of the Japanese army.
With reasonable firepower combination, infantry officers at all levels command troops to fight in a manner that complies with military regulations, and constantly kill and injured the Japanese army. Although the battle was very fierce, the control of the battlefield was firmly in the hands of the Northeast Army.
A soldier was unable to continue fighting due to casualties, and his superior commander immediately decided whether to mobilize another soldier to add to this combat position based on the battlefield situation.
A combat unit was suppressed by the Japanese firepower, and its superior commander immediately adjusted the firepower and force configuration to reverse the disadvantage and maintain the front line.
The Japanese army on the opposite side were also quite elite, which put Zhuang Pengyun in a lot of pressure. Because the commanders at all levels of the Japanese army also effectively commanded the troops, trying to suppress the firepower of the Northeast Army and use their superior forces to rush into the trenches of the Northeast Army. Several times the Japanese army almost succeeded, but at the last moment, they were defeated by the firepower that quickly gathered over.
A brigade of about 900 people attacked the positions of the two battalions of the Northeast Army. After more than 300 casualties, it had to stop the attack and retreat. Seeing that the Japanese army could not even enter the first trench, Deputy Regiment Commander Zhuang Pengyun quickly answered the call from the regiment headquarters, "Captain, should you remove the 3rd Battalion first and let the 2nd Battalion replace the 3rd Battalion?"
The commander's firm voice came from the other end of the phone, "No. After the fight today, we will remove the 3rd battalion."
Since the regiment commander ordered this, Zhuang Pengyun immediately ordered the troops to organize ammunition and transport the wounded to the rear. He also organized the replenished personnel into the troops and tried to ensure that the troops were fully loaded. Zhuang Pengyun took advantage of the Japanese army's reorganization and called the battalion political commissar to ask him about his views on the various company commanders in the battle. Then he called the 1st company commander Li Fugui and the company instructor. Zhuang Pengyun conveyed the order of the regiment headquarters, "Corporate Li, you have been appointed as deputy battalion commander."

Li Fugui's face was so blackened by the smoke of gunpowder, he didn't have any joy. He just nodded and answered, "Yes."
Zhuang Pengyun appointed the deputy company commander of the 1st Company as the company commander, and transferred a platoon leader from the 2nd Company to the 1st Company to become the deputy company commander. After arranging the troops, the logistics personnel had arrived.
During the battle just now, 7 people were killed and 14 injured. The pit where the bodies were stored was opened. The sackcloth body bag was taken out, and the bodies of the seven martyrs were put in. They were sent into the pit and stacked and placed. When the pit was closed, the wounded were basically dealt with urgently and were transported to the field hospital behind by logistics personnel. Since the wounded were all injected with morphine, no one shouted loudly.
When the wounded were sent out, the people who were supplemented from the rear arrived, with a total of 31 people, just filling the vacancy of the soldiers. It can be seen that the new recruits were both excited and nervous, and the squad leader assigned to the new recruits quickly shook hands with the new recruits and introduced the combat positions they were going to take over.
At this time, Zhuang Pengyun breathed a sigh of relief. After completing the battlefield arrangement, the next step was to make a battle record. Zhuang Pengyun called the new deputy battalion commander to temporarily record the approximate battle process.
When Zhuang Pengyun wrote about the death of the battalion commander and the deputy battalion commander, he felt a sense of regret. The 3rd Battalion Commander led the troops very well, but he did not expect that he sacrificed himself first. What a pity! What a pity!
Halfway through the writing, Li Fugui, the deputy battalion commander, ran over to report, "Deputy Commander, the Japanese army seems to be attacking again!"
Zhuang Pengyun closed his notebook and went to the observation position to check. He saw that there was some movement on the Japanese position again, and it seemed that he did have the intention of attacking again.
I just got repelled and was going to attack again? Zhuang Pengyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the Japanese army is really fighting for their lives!
On the 70-kilometer-long front, the troops on both sides were nervous and did not relax at all. Since the firepower of infantry and infantry could not break the offensive and defense situation, the heavy artillery groups that were constantly moving on both sides began to divide some of the firepower to bombard the opponent's line.
74 75 75
The Japanese heavy artillery can weaken the defense of the Northeast Army to gain a temporary offensive advantage. The Northeast Army can also weaken the organization of the Japanese offensive forces.
The artillery soldiers on both sides were guessing where the enemy's heavy artillery might have moved. Which enemy positions are more suitable for weakening the enemy's strength through artillery bombardment. Some artillery groups were constantly moving, while some did not move after the artillery bombardment, but stayed in place to pause the shooting. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the ammunition was filled again and a new round of artillery bombardment began.
The artillery soldiers on both sides could not see each other or their positions at all, and could only rely on phone calls and flags to obtain information. In such a situation, the two sides fought wits and courage.
