Weapons are such a good thing.

The artillery unit of the Chinese army is not weaker than the Japanese army, and even exceeds the Japanese army in number.With such logistical support, the Chinese army has the upper hand in the exchange of fire between the artillery of the two sides.Moreover, the Korean Independence Army is also equipped with sufficient mortars and heavy machine guns, and with the support of Chinese logistics, they fire wantonly like they don't want money.

Besides, after a period of war, the Korean Independence Army gradually became familiar with how to use mortars and heavy machine guns.The Japanese army was also made of flesh and blood, not an iron wall.Facing the Korean Independence Army, which is becoming more and more familiar with the battlefield, the attack is getting more and more difficult, and the casualties are also rising.

In the end, Huishan County really held on.

"Commander Park, didn't I say it? As long as we persist until it snows, the Japanese army will have nothing to do with us."

"Yes Yes."

Pu Shiguang held Ge Jingen's hand tightly.

Excited, his hands are constantly shaking.Although Hyesan County is only a small place compared to the entire Korean Peninsula.It occupies a tenth of the area of ​​the Korean peninsula.

But with this "victory", there is hope for national independence.This victory will definitely greatly boost the morale of the resistance forces on the entire Korean peninsula.

"Commander Park, don't get excited. Let's plan what to do next."

"Director Ge, please sit down."

Compared to Pu Shiguang's excitement, Ge Jingen was much calmer.Because Ge Jingen had just received a telegram from Beijing, Duan Xun first affirmed Ge Jingen's work and congratulated Ge Jingen on his achievements.But at the same time, he told Ge Jingen that the matter on the Korean Peninsula has not been resolved.It is necessary to continue to strengthen the strength of the Korean Independence Army, continue to strengthen the control of the Korean peninsula, and continue to attack the strength of the Japanese army on the Korean peninsula.The ultimate goal is to drive the Japanese army out of the Korean peninsula.

So Ge Jingen has already begun to think about how to develop the strength of the Korean Independence Army and how to continue to attack the Japanese army.

"Commander Park, you know what happened in Japan. Judging from the current situation, the Japanese army should not attack Hyesan County this winter. Even because of logistical reasons, the Japanese army will slowly withdraw from Hyesan County Stationed in Huisan County, the Japanese army’s logistics pressure is too great. I think the Japanese army will withdraw to Hamheung and Jiasan.”

"Yes, I think so too."

Park Shiguang nodded.

Japan's logistics are under great pressure. If we continue to stay in Hyesan County, once the snow falls heavily, the logistics will not be able to keep up.Therefore, in order to survive the winter, the best way for the Japanese army is to withdraw to big cities.Hyesan County belongs to South Hamgyong Province, and the capital of South Hamgyong Province is Hamheung.Therefore, the Japanese army should have withdrawn to the Hamhung area.

"Commander Park, it is a very good opportunity for us to stop the Japanese attack and retreat. My idea is that as long as the Japanese army retreats, then we will boldly move forward and regain our original position."

"Director Ge, if we regain our original position, our logistical pressure will increase."

"Commander Park, you can rest assured about the logistics. We will definitely meet all the logistics supplies needed by the frontline troops. What I mean is that as our position moves forward, it will inevitably put pressure on the Japanese army. Because the area we can attack increases, the Japanese army must Do a good job of defense. Of course, our defensive pressure will increase accordingly, but this is mutual. Whether it is the increased pressure of the Japanese army or our increased pressure, we can firmly contain the Japanese army in South Hamgyong Province Here."

Park Shiguang looked at the map with some hesitation.

Yes.

The advance of the Korean Independence Army will put pressure on the Japanese army.But similarly, the number of places to be defended by the Korean Independence Army will also increase, and the defense pressure will also increase.And the more you move forward, the greater the logistical pressure will be.

To be able to stop the Japanese army this time, logistical support is the most important.If it weren't for the ammunition being sent to the position anytime and anywhere, how could the Korean Independence Army fire and shoot at will.

"Director Ge, what are your thoughts?"

"Here, I think our next step should be here."

Ge Jingen clicked on the northern part of the map.

Park Shiguang looked at the map and said in surprise, "North Hamgyong Road."

"Correct."

Ge Jingen nodded.

Then he said: "The Japanese army has five divisions in the Korean peninsula, the second division, the third division, the fifth division, the No.20 division, and the gendarmerie division. More than half of the gendarmerie divisions suffered casualties before." , The vitality is greatly injured. There is nothing to supplement this year, and the strength of the troops has dropped sharply, which is of no great effect. The troops have long since withdrawn to Pyongyang for repairs."

"Looking at the No.20 Division, it also suffered a lot of losses in the air strikes. Moreover, they have been mopping up the resistance forces in the southern region. They are thousands of miles away from us, so they have no time to take care of things here. At present, only the No. The Second Division, the Third Division, and the Fifth Division. The main force attacking Huishan County this time is the Fifth Division."

"I don't know if Commander Park has observed it. Originally, the main attack force has always been the 20th Brigade and the No.3000 6000st Brigade of the [-]th Division, but some time ago it slowly became the [-]th Brigade and the No. [-]th Brigade of the [-]nd Division. The [-]th Brigade of the [-]rd Division. Our side suffered a lot of casualties, around [-] casualties. However, the Japanese army also suffered heavy casualties. Although we don’t have specific figures, I believe their casualties No less than [-] people. In particular, the Ninth Brigade, which has been the main attacker since the beginning, has withdrawn from the offensive sequence in the past ten days. It can be seen that their casualties must be very heavy."

Park Shiguang silently watched the Japanese army sequence.

It is difficult to count the casualties of the Japanese army, but Ge Jingen can guarantee that the casualties of the Japanese army are also staggering.Especially this month, the Chinese artillery has completely suppressed the Japanese artillery, and the combat effectiveness of the Korean Independence Army has also risen rapidly.Both brought huge casualties to the attacking Japanese army.

Ge Jingen continued: "So I estimate that the Fifth Division cannot be said to be seriously injured, but must have suffered heavy casualties, reaching the point where it needs to be repaired. Therefore, what the Japanese army can use now is the Second Division and the Third Division. However, the Sixth Brigade of the Third Division is currently stationed in Pyongyang, where they are mopping up scattered armed forces. There are only the Second Division and the Fifth Brigade of the Third Division in the northern region. Their large forces are attacking Hyesan The counties are all concentrated in South Hamgyong Province. At present, there is only one regiment of the Fifth Brigade stationed in Jingcheng, North Hamgyong Province, with only 3000 people. Apart from this unit, there are no other troops in North Hamgyong Province. There are no other troops of the Japanese army. Commander Park, you also know that North Hamgyong Province is the most troubled place this year. There are many resistance forces there, and there are many armed forces, large and small. With just one regiment, even the local Even those resistance forces in the area cannot be resolved. This is a good opportunity, if we have a force from Yanji County to penetrate North Hamgyong Province, it will be the best chance to recover North Hamgyong Province.”

"Director Ge, the idea is good. But where do I choose the troops. The main force of our independent army is here."

"Commander Park, you forgot. Aren't we training recruits over there?"

"But they've only been training for less than three months."

Since the riots on the Korean Peninsula, many places in the Northeast are training new troops for the Korean Independence Army.The most people from North Korea came from Yanji County.

Therefore, it also began to train recruits for the Korean Independence Army.

Lots of people.

About 4000 people.A group of farmers trained for three months, but in fact they knew a little bit of military action and were able to shoot.Such recruits go up, where is the opponent of the Japanese army.

"Commander Park, I don't mean to let them go to war. Instead, let them go to North Hamgyong Province to collect those scattered resistance forces. I think if we can reorganize those resistance forces in North Hamgyong Province, we can create more than 1 people in a short period of time. There should be no problem with human troops. When the time comes, you will play the banner of your Korean Independence Army and continue to expand your strength."

The offensive and defensive battle of Hyesan County, regardless of the specific situation, anyway, the Korean Independence Army defended Hyesan County.This alone has greatly increased the prestige of the Korean Independence Army on the Korean Peninsula.

Now the Korean Independence Army wants to recruit troops, and some of them defected to them.

Pu Shiguang nodded slightly.

I understood what Ge Jingen meant.So I thought for a while and said, "Director Ge, since we have launched the banner of the First Army of the Korean Independence Army in Hyesan County, I think we can also display the banner of the Second Army of the Korean Independence Army in the north. Recruit troops on North Hamgyong Province." .”

"Commander Park, that's what I mean. The Japanese army may need to repair in winter, but they will reorganize their offensive in the spring of next year. We should use this time to actively develop our strength. Soldiers who performed well in this battle can be sent Go to our military academy to train for a few months. And don’t you have student troops in your hands? Send them all to the rear and train them well. In the future, they will all become qualified grassroots officers.”

"Correct."

Park Shiguang nodded.

Yes.

This year is considered to be withstood, but what about next year?How could Japan allow the Korean Peninsula to have an armed force like the Korean Independence Army? It will definitely continue to encircle and suppress.

If you want to withstand it, you must continue to develop your own strength.It is now October, and the temperature here in Hyesan County is about to pick up, so it should be after March.In fact, it is possible to snow in the Northeast and North Korea, not to mention April, even May.In other words, the Korean Independence Army has five or six months.

"Director Ge, if we set up the Second Army of the Korean Independence Army, what about weapons and logistics?"

"Commander Park, don't worry. I will definitely coordinate with you. We can provide you with as many weapons as you have."

"Thank you, Director Ge."

"Is the investigation clear?"

"Yes."
