Chapter 115
There was a place in the previous chapter that I wrote wrong in the early morning because I was a little confused. The Aegis heavy cruiser has not yet been released. It has been corrected.
More than 80 ACV landing craft transported an amphibious armored battalion and two amphibious infantry brigades.
The force is as high as tens of thousands of people.
The most important thing is the dozens of amphibious tanks and 155mm vehicle-mounted howitzers.
The arrival of these heavy weapons can give us an advantage in the face of the Japanese counterattack.
What's more, there are more than a dozen ships parked in the outer sea.
If the Japanese attack Seoul.
These warships can also provide powerful firepower support.
Don't look at the firepower of the assault-class destroyer and the Naginata-class light cruiser. The caliber is only 127mm and 152mm.
But these are all naval guns, and they are rapid-fire ones.
Not only are they far-reaching and powerful, but they are also fast-firing.
The firepower of a battleship is comparable to that of an artillery battalion.
Although the air force is very strong, it cannot be deployed at night.
So these dozen warships can provide very critical firepower support.
The rest of the warships escorted more than 80 ACV landing craft back home.
The second batch of troops will arrive in two days.
And this time it is not just the air cushion landing craft.
The port of Incheon has been completely occupied, and the Japanese army has not had time to destroy it.
This port can be fully utilized.
Just update the gantry crane and other things.
Compared with the"203" for the navy, the speed of the air force is much faster.
In order to speed up the construction of the field airport.
Six Century strategic transport aircraft landed first at the temporary field airport in Incheon.
These six Century strategic transport aircraft brought more and larger engineering machinery vehicles and a large number of steel plates and quick-drying cement.
These are all used to build military airports.
After all, the efficiency of the earth runway is still much lower.
And if you want to build this airport into an airport with a concrete runway, it will take at least three days.
After all, this airport will carry many large aircraft takeoffs and landings.
Fortunately, the land in Incheon is very flat and the hardness of the land is enough, so it is not difficult to choose a site.
With the arrival of the Marine Corps.
The pressure on the two airborne divisions was suddenly reduced a lot.
After all, they carry very few heavy weapons.
The Marines are transported by ship, which is completely different. The Japanese are in a hurry, really in a hurry.
In order to avoid bombing during the day, the troops adopt a dispersed marching method.
As for whether they will be bombed, it depends on their luck.
Soon, the patrol teams of both sides on the periphery began to exchange fire.
After the three multi-functional infantry reconnaissance vehicles had just passed a gentle slope, they saw dozens of Japanese soldiers sneaking up not far ahead.
It seemed that this was the size of a small team.
After seeing each other, both sides were stunned for a moment.
The Japanese soldiers immediately started screaming and began to look for shelter everywhere.
The Marines were naturally unceremonious.
The twin 20mm machine guns and single-barrel 30mm machine guns on the vehicles were aimed at the Japanese soldiers below and fired.
The Japanese squad was immediately beaten and couldn't raise their heads.
Some Japanese soldiers hiding behind the rocks were very unlucky.
The armor-piercing shells fired by the 30mm machine guns easily penetrated these rocks.
The Japanese soldiers hiding behind were beaten into pieces.
After the patrol team exchanged fire with the Japanese army, it also meant that the Japanese army's large forces would soon arrive.
In Yangping, the fierce battle has begun to come to an end.
The focus of the two sides' competition is Yangping.
More than 20,000 Japanese soldiers gathered here to cover the rear. There are a total of two disabled divisions.
One of the divisions is the 19th Division.
The remaining one is the 23rd Division.
These two divisions are completely determined to fight the fully staffed Fourth Army on the opposite side.
However, no matter how strong the will is, it will be useless in the face of the crushing of numbers and equipment.
What's more, in terms of fighting will, the Red Alert Corps dares to claim first place, and no one dares to claim second place.
As elite soldiers, let alone combat effectiveness.
The Japanese army did not create a miracle of fighting with fewer troops like a certain heroic unit in the original time and space.
Instead, it was completely crushed.
After all, the Red Alert Corps is not a young master soldier like the Eagle Sauce.
However, these 20,000 people still managed to hold out for six or seven days against the attack of more than 100,000 armored troops.
But on the second day, the Fourth Army broke through their defense line.
The four divisions headed by the Fourth Armored Division chased the Japanese army directly.
The remaining two divisions were responsible for destroying the remaining Japanese troops.
The Fourth Army was not worried about being cut off.
They carried supplies that could fight for a week.
If the remaining Japanese troops could not be dealt with at this time, then their Fourth Army would not be worthy of being called the First Army of the Red Alert Corps.
The 41st and 35th Armies fought the Japanese army well.
One reason was that they had a short training time.
The other reason was that the areas where they fought were in the mountains.
Unlike the flat terrain around Yangping, it was suitable for armored units to fight.
What's more, they were strictly speaking only a semi-motorized light infantry division.
Ling Liang sent them to fight in North Korea in order to train their combat effectiveness.
When the time came to the evening, the battle in Seoul had also changed from the initial contact exchange of fire to a white-hot battle.
More than 10,000 Japanese troops wanted to take advantage of Seoul's unstable foothold and launched a fierce attack under the cover of night.
But as soon as the fight started, they were beaten and bleeding.
The Marine Division resisted the attack of the 10,000-man Japanese army in the front, making it difficult for them to move forward.
The 1st and 2nd Airborne Divisions took advantage of the cover of night to send out part of their forces to outflank the Japanese army.
Obviously, the Japanese army did not fully understand the strength of the troops in Seoul. They thought that there were only more than 10,000 troops in Seoul.
Unexpectedly, the troops gathered in Seoul were as high as more than 50,000.
When the 1st and 2nd Airborne Divisions were in place, they took advantage of the night to launch a general offensive against the Japanese army.
One after another, signal flares and flares rose into the sky. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
One after another, the Grizzly airborne tanks stopped directly in front of the Japanese army and began to act as fixed turrets.
The tanks' coaxial machine guns and anti-aircraft machine guns kept spitting bullets.
Soldiers of the airborne division also used the tanks as cover and frantically fired at the flanks of the Japanese army.
Faced with the sudden attack, the Japanese army was caught off guard.
Panic was inevitable.[]
Only then did the Japanese react.
They were surrounded.
And they also realized that the Chinese troops here were much more than they had imagined.
The battle lasted until noon. After more than 10,000 Japanese troops failed to break through many times, they were wiped out in the outer positions north of Seoul.
It must be said that this group of Japanese soldiers is indeed very tenacious.
The Red Alert Corps also suffered more than 1,500 casualties.
This is mainly because of the night battle, and their firepower advantage cannot be fully utilized.
The key is the lack of air support.
Otherwise, the casualties would not be so high.
It is precisely because of this that the Red Alert Corps has been avoiding night battles.
Of course, avoiding night battles does not mean being afraid or not knowing how to fight at night.
The Red Alert Corps is also good at night battles.
When the farewell telegram was transmitted to the headquarters of the Asahi Army.
Lieutenant General Ueda Kenkichi's veins bulged, and he suppressed the anger and fear in his heart...........
The situation is much worse than I imagined.
If they can't break through this time,
I'm afraid these hundreds of thousands of troops will be doomed.
And I will become a sinner of the empire.
These hundreds of thousands of troops are the elite troops of the empire.
If they are all buried here,
Japan will be seriously injured.
It will take at least ten years to build such a strong army again.
After all, the combat effectiveness of veterans and new recruits is completely different.
"Speed up the advance."
Thinking of this, he paid no attention to the Chinese fighter planes that kept attacking overhead.
Instead, he ordered the troops to speed up.
One second slower, the chance of breaking through would be one point less.
But there was also good news.
His Majesty the Emperor not only sent the main force of the Combined Fleet to rescue them, but also directly dispatched several divisions to prepare for landing in Busan.
Together with them, they would attack the Red Alert Corps in Seoul.
This time, the Japanese army was really ready to abandon the Korean Peninsula.
Because they were really scared by the fierce Red Alert Corps.
They didn't expect the other party's ambition to be so big.
And the other party's strength was stronger than they imagined.
At least stronger than when they fought in the Northeast.
"The main force of the combined fleet has left the port?" Jiang Fan was a little surprised when he received this news.
���The little devils were so decisive.
They dared to send the main force of the Combined Fleet to rescue the 400,000 Japanese troops that were surrounded.
You must know that the Yellow Sea is now full of Akula submarines.
The Combined Fleet may not be able to get any benefits.
But they still came.
Although submarines are difficult to compete with surface ships.
After all, the main combat mode of submarines still relies on sneak attacks.
It's like an assassin with a lot of defense. If you miss a shot and are discovered, you will be dead.
So it's difficult for submarines to compete with surface ships.
You can only hit and run, not hard steel.
But there is also a premise here.
That is, the technological level of both sides cannot be too different.
The technological level of the Akula submarine has exceeded the technological level after the end of World War II.
Jiang Fan judged that the technological level should be between 48 and 50 years.
And now it's only 1933.
The sonar of the little devils is very weak.
The Akula submarine is like an assassin wearing an invisible cloak.
Unless 0.6 takes the initiative to expose, it is difficult to be discovered.
If you hit and run, the probability of running away is still very high.
It is precisely because the Japanese have never found a way to detect the Akula submarine.
That's why they dare not come to the Yellow Sea.
And this time they are really desperate.
But you can know.
This time the Japanese combined fleet will come, and they will definitely take strict precautions against underwater submarines.
The best way is to surround the main battleship in the middle, and spread out the destroyers and cruisers.
In this way, the first ships to be attacked are the outer ships.
If the submarine dares to launch an attack from inside the defense circle, it will definitely be a 10-point death, even for the Akula submarine.
Because the range of the torpedo is limited.
If you want to hit the opponent's main battleship, you can only launch an attack at a distance of one or two kilometers.
Once the torpedo is launched, the Japanese army can determine the approximate area where the submarine is located based on the torpedo track.
Then a large area of indiscriminate depth bombs will be dropped.
The submarine will definitely be blown to slag.
So Jiang Fan decided to focus on naval aviation and submarines as a supplement.
As for surface ships? Let's just play soy sauce.
The 152mm guns of the Naginata-class light cruisers are fine against ships of the same class.
But they are no match for heavily armored heavy cruisers or even battleships.
