Chapter 302: The Three-Nation Alliance Lands on the Island, and the National Defense Force Attacks
When General Tetsuku Fukuda arrived in Liujing, he realized how bad the situation of the First Army was.
It was a mess.
"Can't you even contact a single frontline unit?"
"Yes, General, all our radios are dead.
The telephone lines were also destroyed by the Goryeo guerrillas, who were also constantly directing bombings for the Guguo Air Force. Many troops around Ryugyong were bombed.
After hearing the report from the general in front of him, General Tetsuji Fukuda's heart sank to the bottom.
Although they have the advantage in military strength, the current situation is that each unit is fighting on its own and is in disarray.
Even if he came, he still felt like he had no idea where to start.
"We must find out the situation of the frontline troops and restore communications at all costs."
After three days, Tetsushi Fukuda finally understood the general situation of the war in the north.
The situation was so bad that it was beyond his imagination.
"Even Wonsan Port has been lost. Although Anzhou has not yet discovered ground forces, this must be the focus of their attack."
Anju is located between Ryugyong and Uiju.
Yizhou is located on the border with the ancient country's Andong Province, and this is also where the Fuso army gathers its heavy troops.
Half of the Northern First Army's forces were on the Yizhou defense line.
If Anzhou were to be occupied by the independence army, the consequences would be disastrous.
In addition to guarding against Anzhou, we also need to guard against Wonsan Port.
As long as we hold these two places, the war in the north can be stabilized.
If any place is lost, we will have to consider abandoning the north and retreating to Seoul.
"Contact all currently contactable troops and have them defend Chaoyangli and Anzhou to stop the Goryeo rebels in these two locations."
Chaoyangli is located dozens of kilometers east of Ryugyong and is the only way from Wonsan to Ryugyong.
The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it the best place for ambush.
However, relying on current communication means, the number of troops that can be contacted is very limited.
Because many Fuso troops were blown apart.
Even the cavalry responsible for contact did not discover the regiment and its troops.
The main reason is that the more people there are, the bigger the target will be, making it very easy to be attacked by airstrikes.
However, some troops quickly rushed to these two locations and set up blocking positions in Anzhou and Chaoyangli.
A force of more than 4,000 soldiers from one and a half regiments had already been assembled in Chaoyangli.
The Goryeo Independence Army also understood the importance of speed in war.
After capturing the strategic location of Wonsan Port, they immediately turned their guns westward and marched quickly towards Ryugyong.
The Goryeo Independence Army was a semi-motorized force.
In addition, the terrain of Goryeo was not very good, so the marching speed was not fast.
Fortunately, Goryeo's territory is not large, and Wonsan is only about a hundred kilometers away from Chaoyangli.
At the beginning, the reconnaissance battalion of the Goryeo Independence Army was unaware of the blocking position set up by Fuso in Chaoyangli, and they ran headfirst into the encirclement.
In the end, only more than a hundred people broke out, with heavy casualties.
The news that Fuso had set up defenses in Chaoyangli also reached Li Yuze.
"Break through the Chaoyangli defense line as quickly as possible. We must take advantage of the Fuso Army's communication failure to complete the encirclement as much as possible.
Once they restore their chain of command, it will be impossible to swallow them back up."
Li Yuze has a big appetite. He wants to use his troops of more than 70,000 to directly swallow up the entire Fuso First Army of more than 200,000 people.
This is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. If you are not careful, you will be stuffed to death.
But Li Yuze is not worried, because he has the ancient country behind him, and he will not die as long as he doesn't seek death.
After the 4th Motorized Infantry Division of the Goryeo Independence Army rushed to Chaoyangli, it did not rest, but directly launched an attack on the Chaoyangli defense line of Fuso.
The ancient country's air force arrived in time, and this time a new model of aircraft came to support.
After more than a dozen F-4 Phantom and F-111 Aardvark fighter-bombers poured ammunition on Fuso's Chaoyangli defense line, two C-130 tactical transport planes also rushed over the battlefield.
However, there are slight differences in the appearance of these two C-130 tactical transport aircraft.
Two 20mm six-barreled Gatling cannons and two 40mm Bofors machine guns are installed on one side of the fuselage.
This new aircraft model is the AY-130 aerial gunship, the latest aircraft developed by the ancient aviation industry.
The main weapons are two 20mm six-barreled Gatling guns and two 40mm machine guns.
This model is also modified based on the AC-47 Phantom gunship.
It's just that this tactical concept was transplanted from the C-47 transport aircraft to the C-130 tactical transport aircraft.
At present, the Changan Aircraft Industry Group of the ancient country's aviation industry has only produced four verification aircraft, which are not officially in service.
It happened to be the time for this war, so it was transferred here for actual combat testing.
The Chaoyangli defense line is built on the mountain.
The Fuso Army's blocking positions were also set up on the top of high ground or halfway up the mountain.
Moreover, the Air Force has conducted fire reconnaissance and found no air defense weapons.
Two AY-130 gunships slowly entered the arena.
The Fuso Army did not pay much attention to it.
Because the 4th Motorized Infantry Division of the Independence Army was launching a large-scale ground offensive towards their high ground.
Thousands of soldiers came like a tide, and they didn't care about the two more fighter planes above their heads.
A few minutes later, the two AY-130 gunships entered the lighthouse hovering state one after another, and aimed the left side of the aircraft at the Nagatoyama Highlands of Fuso.
“Sizzle, sizzle…”
In an instant, 20mm tracer shells formed chains of fire in the air, and dense shells fell like raindrops.
The Fuso army, which was fighting at the top of the battlefield, suffered heavy casualties in the sudden attack.
The shells easily tore their bodies apart and blew them into pieces.
Although 20mm is the smallest caliber artillery shell, it is still an artillery shell, not a bullet.
Through the TV monitor, the weapon operator responsible for controlling the machine gun can see the situation below more clearly.
"Dong dong dong..."
The two 40mm caliber machine guns also fired a few shells from time to time, accurately hitting the Fuso army's firepower points from above their heads.
A few shots can basically silence a machine gun position.
Light and heavy machine guns also disintegrated or were damaged in the intensive explosions.
"Baga, organize anti-aircraft fire and shoot down these two planes."
This scene left both sides stunned.
They never imagined that the two fighter jets that suddenly appeared would be so powerful.
There were several gaps in firepower in the Fuso army's positions, and there was no time to replenish them.
Because the shells in the sky were like pouring water, they were attacking them indiscriminately from the air.
Many Fuso troops who came to support were blown down in the communication trenches.
"Charge, charge!"
The Independence Army was very excited after seeing this and launched a charge with excitement.
"Da da da....."
The Goryeo Independence Army, equipped with a large number of AK-47 assault rifles, took the opportunity to rush into the hillside positions of the Jangdong Mountain Heights.
“Onboard!!!”
Seeing this, the Fuso army rushed forward with ferocious faces, wanting to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Independence Army.
At this time, the fierce firepower of the AK-47 assault rifle came into play.
The Fuso army was not given any chance to fight with bayonets.
Just fire a volley of bullets at them as they come towards you.
In less than twenty minutes, the position halfway up the Changdong Mountain Plateau was lost.
More than a thousand Fuso troops retreated to the mountaintop position.
However, from this perspective, it is more conducive to the performance of the AY-130 aerial gunship.
The firing range of their position halfway up the mountain was not very good, so they were unable to shoot when circling to the side or behind the mountain.
And on the top of the mountain, you can attack from all angles.
The Goryeo Independence Army also understood the power of these two new fighter planes and only launched a feint attack to force the Fuso Army to emerge from their positions, creating an opportunity for the AY-130 gunships to attack.
This directly destroyed the two AY-130 gunships.
Until the two fighter planes had used up their tens of thousands of shells, the Changdong Mountain Heights were also occupied by the 4th Motorized Infantry Division of the Goryeo Independence Army.
All the reinforcements from Fuso were killed on this high ground.
The gate to Ryugyong was directly open to the 4th Motorized Infantry Division of the Korean Independence Army.
The speed at which Chaoyangli fell was beyond the expectations of General Tetsuku Fukuda.
When he received the news, he was shocked and felt powerless.
He was not without troops. There were more than 200,000 troops in the entire northern region of Goryeo.
However, most of these troops are out of contact and cannot be contacted, let alone mobilized to defend.
However, Anzhou has already assembled tens of thousands of troops, and should be able to hold out for a while.
"Immediately mobilize all troops surrounding Liujing to defend the city."
In this situation, we can only rely on Liujing’s city defense for defense.
In the next two or three days, part of the Goryeo Independence Army launched an attack on the Fuso defenders on the Anzhou defense line.
The Fuso Army assembled more than 20,000 troops here, relying on the mountainous terrain to block the attack of two divisions of the Independent Army.
The troops that set out from Wonsan Port advanced rapidly all the way and successfully arrived at the plain area where Liujing was located.
Dozens of kilometers away is the Ryugyong City they have been longing for.
It was also the largest city in northern Goryeo, second only to Seoul.
It's not all bad news for Fuso, there is also good news.
The allied forces of John, Gaul and Citigroup landed at Axe Hill Port in the name of the International Brigade.
This time, John, Gaul, and Citigroup mobilized colonial troops, totaling more than 40,000 people.
This was just the first batch of troops they mobilized.
Tens of thousands of troops are being transferred from further away.
This time, the three countries will mobilize about 100,000 troops to support Fuso's battle in Goryeo.
This news has also been learned by the ancient country's intelligence department, and photos of their landing were taken.
"boom!"
Jiang Hua threw the photo in his hand onto the table and snorted coldly, "Their hands are too long, they even dare to reach into our pockets. It seems they still don't understand who has the final say in Dongzhou.
Now that they have sent troops, we can't just stand by and watch.
Notify the Northern Military Region to dispatch an army group to fight in Korea."
The situation became more complicated after the three countries jointly sent troops to Goryeo, and the Goryeo Independence Army was unable to cope with it with its own strength.
Therefore, it was necessary for the ancient country to send troops at this time, which also gave him an excuse to send troops.
