Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar Chapter 1021

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The cannons roared, and shells hit the enemy’s defense line.

A large number of soldiers of the Japanese Army, under the support of their own artillery, launched an attack on the defense line of the Goryeo Army in a scattered line.

The artillery of the Goryeo Army did not care about hiding its strength at this time, and began to use field artillery and howitzers to launch a fierce counterattack, trying to suppress the artillery of the Japanese Army and reduce the pressure on its own defense line.

Although the current situation in the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula is very unfavorable to the Goryeo Kingdom. The Japanese who launched a fierce attack without fear of death scared the Goryeo people enough, and also made them almost completely suppressed in the next battle.

However, the order of General Jin Yongcan, Chief of Staff of the Goryeo Army, has been issued, requiring each army group to hold their positions. At the same time, they were told that reinforcements had been dispatched.

This forced the soldiers on the front to defend the line desperately.

If they failed to defend Line 03, even if they escaped, they would not have a good ending.

So, they could only pray that they could resist the attack of the Japanese and hold on until the reinforcements arrived.

The Japanese and Koreans fought fiercely in Busan and Ulsan, west of Jinju and Daegu. Even though the Koreans’ fighting power was generally not as good as that of the Japanese. However, with their best efforts, they could at least barely resist the attack of the Japanese. As long as they held on for a while longer until the reinforcements arrived. Then, the situation could be changed.

In the direction of Gwangju, the offensive of the 6th Army of the Japanese Army was not smooth.

Although the 7th Army of the Korean Army stationed in Gwangju was no match for the 6th Army of the Japanese Army.

But don’t forget that the 36th Army of the Tsarist Russian Army stationed in Daejeon was involved in the battle.

The 6th Army of the Japanese Army also attempted to resist the attack of the 36th Army of the Tsarist Russian Army in the areas of Gunsan Iksan and Jeonju with the strength of three infantry divisions, buying time for them to defeat the 7th Army of the Goryeo Army.

However, the 36th Army of the Tsarist Russian Army, with the 36th Armored Division as the vanguard, attacked the defense line of the Japanese Army fiercely.

Facing the attack of the armored forces of the Tsarist Russian Army, the Japanese Army was almost still stuck in the combat thinking of the last war and could not resist it at all.

One by one, the fierce T-34 tanks could easily advance against the anti-tank artillery fire of the Japanese. And at a longer distance, they could point out the anti-tank firepower of the Japanese one by one.

These Japanese were very brave, even when their defense line was on the verge of being broken. However, they also dared to hold explosive packs and cluster grenades, trying to die together with these T-34Ks of the Russian Empire.

But unfortunately, although they were brave, the probability of success was very small.

The infantry accompanying the tanks in combat was not vegetarian. Moreover, the self-defense firepower of the tanks was also very strong. The Japanese often rushed to the tanks before they could

However, some unlucky T-34 tanks had their tracks blown up after being approached by the Japanese and could no longer move.

As the infantry divisions of the Tsarist Russian Army were thrown into the battle one after another, the defense line of the Japanese Army in Iksan and Jeonju became even more precarious.

In order to stabilize this line of defense, the 6th Army of the Japanese Army had to put the 6th Tank Division into the battlefield, trying to use these tanks to resist the Russian attack.

But unfortunately, the performance of the Japanese tanks was too rubbish.

The Type 97 medium tank, which was regarded as the main force by the Japanese, weighed only a pitiful 15 tons. The rest of the Type 95 light tanks were even lighter.

The light weight of the tank means weak defense and small caliber of the tank gun. For example, the Type 97 medium tank is equipped with a caliber of 47 mm. The Type 95 light tank is equipped with a gun with a caliber of only 37mm. (To read the best novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Facing the thick armor of the T-34 tank of the Russian Empire Army, unless at a very close distance. Otherwise, these two tanks of the Japanese cannot even penetrate the armor of the T-34 tank.

The long-barreled 75mm tank gun of the T-34 tank can easily penetrate the weak armor of the Type 97 medium tank and the Type 95 light tank.

It can be said that the two tanks of the Japanese were completely crushed by the Russian T-34 medium tank.

In the tank battle, the Japanese tanks suffered heavy losses.

This made the Japanese Army’s defense lines in Iksan and Jeonju completely unable to resist the Russian attack.

As a last resort, the remnants of the 6th Army of the Eastern Army could only retreat to the mountains and survive with the support of the navy’s naval gunfire.

The main force of the 6th Army of the Eastern Army failed to attack Gwangju because of the attack of the Russian Army, and had to retreat to Mokpo.

The crisis of the 7th Army of the Goryeo Army has been resolved.

At the same time, as the 3rd Army, the 4th Army and the 5th Army of the Goryeo Army were successively deployed on the battlefield. The 6th Army stationed in Daegu, after receiving reinforcements, successfully resisted the attack of the 8th Army of the Eastern Army.

In addition, a large number of reinforcements began to advance to the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula to reinforce the 8th Army of the Goryeo Army, the 120th Army of the 9th Episode and the 10th Army, which were still defending the line of defense.

Even if the 2nd Army, the 4th Army and the 10th Army of the Eastern Army still had a great advantage on the battlefield.

But with the arrival of a large number of reinforcements from the Goryeo Army, it became very difficult for the Japanese to completely defeat the three armies of the Goryeo Army and eliminate them.

Under such circumstances, the battle line on the battlefield of the Goryeo Peninsula has been barely maintained.

This also made the top leaders of the Goryeo Kingdom feel relieved.

Although the war caused heavy losses in the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula. A large number of people died tragically on the battlefield. But the war did not continue to spread to the northern part of the Goryeo Peninsula, and did not further increase the losses of the Goryeo Kingdom. Then, this is already very rare for the Goryeo Kingdom.

For the Goryeo people, as long as they can resist the attack of the Orientals, as long as they can stabilize the front line and ensure that their country is not destroyed by the Orientals. Then, this is a rare victory.

As for counterattacking the Orientals, the Goryeo people alone cannot do it, and they must rely on the Russian Empire. Otherwise, relying on their own strength alone, it is estimated that the Goryeo Kingdom would have been destroyed by the Orientals, or even annexed.

For this point, the Goryeo people still have a very clear understanding. .
