Tsarist Empire: Please call me His Majesty the Tsar Chapter 1025

"Long live, long live! Reinforcements are here, we can hold Pingrang!"

"Haha! Don’t think about taking Pingrang!"

The defenders of the 2nd Army of the Goryeo Army were greatly encouraged after the arrival of the 5th Army of the Russian Army.

A large number of Russian troops joined the battle, making their defense line more stable.

And as Russian troops arrived at the battlefield, they began to attack the flank of the 12th Army of the Oriental Army.

"Baga! Damn Russians, we were almost there! We were almost able to take Pingrang!" Lieutenant General Masamitsu Kawana, commander of the 12th Army of the Oriental Army, cursed.

Under a series of fierce attacks before, the 2nd Army of the Goryeo Army had suffered heavy losses. And morale was also devastated.

If they continue to launch a fierce "410" attack, then there will be a great possibility that they will defeat the 2nd Army of the Goryeo Army in one fell swoop and capture Pingrang.

But at this time, the reinforcements of the Tsarist Russian Army arrived, making their previous efforts in vain.

"Commander, the Russians are deploying more and more troops. They have already deployed armored forces to attack our flanks. The 12th Army has no tank troops and is no match for the Russians at all." Major General Nakagawa Taro, Chief of Staff of the 12th Army, reported.

"Asshole! Shrink the defense line and retreat to Nanpu!" General Kawana Masazo knew very well that they had lost the opportunity to capture Pingrang.

If they continue to launch an attack, it will only cause all their limited forces to be lost here.

Instead of this, it is better to retreat immediately, retreat to Nanpu, and preserve their strength.

"Hey, Commander!" Major General Nakagawa Taro replied.
The 12th Army of the Eastern Army saw that it could not conquer Pyeongrang. At the same time, the 5th Army of the Russian Army began to counterattack. In order to preserve its strength, it chose to retreat.

The 5th Army of the Russian Army did not continue to attack, but left a part of its troops to assist the 2nd Army of the Goryeo Army in defending Pyeongrang. The rest of the troops continued to march towards Seoul.

At this moment, the 11th Army of the Eastern Army was still attacking Seoul.

The subsequent 15th Army of the Russian Army was still on the way, but it would arrive in Pyeongrang in two or three days at most.

The news that the Russian army arrived in Pyeongrang, causing the 12th Army of the Eastern Army to attack Pyeongrang to fail and had to withdraw to Nampo, was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Goryeo Army of the Eastern Army.

They also hoped to capture Pyeongrang and Seoul and cut off the supply lines of the Russian Army and the Goryeo Army gathered in the southern part of the Goryeo Peninsula. If this plan cannot be realized, it will undoubtedly be more difficult for them to win this war.

At the same time, the reinforcements of the Russian Empire Army entered the Korean Peninsula, which caused a fundamental reversal of the power comparison between the two sides. It would be even more difficult for the Eastern Army to win this war on the Korean Peninsula!

The Eastern Empire, NorthKyushu, the headquarters of the Goryeo Army of the Oriental Army.

Because the Goryeo Army’s war on the Goryeo Peninsula was not going well. Therefore, the headquarters of the Goryeo Army remained in Kitakyushu and did not move to the Goryeo Peninsula.

"Commander, the situation on the entire front is not good. The speed at which the Russian reinforcements arrived at the battlefield was much faster than we expected. One of their army groups has arrived in Pingrang and defeated the 12th Army. The 12th Army had to retreat to Nanpu." Lieutenant General Iimura, Chief of Staff of the Goryeo Army, reported.

General Minami Jiro, the commander of the Goryeo Army, had a serious expression.

He knew that the situation he was most worried about had happened.

This made the situation of the Oriental Army on the Goryeo Peninsula even more unfavorable. If you want to win this battle, it will undoubtedly be more difficult.

"Give the 11th Army an order to take Seoul before the Russian reinforcements arrive. If they can take Seoul, perhaps the whole situation can be maintained!" said General Nanjiro.

It will take some time to get from Pingrang to Seoul. If the 11th Army of the Oriental Army can seize this opportunity and take Seoul. Perhaps, Seoul and the Han River can be used as a support to prevent the Russian Empire Army from moving south and cut off the supply lines of the Russian Army and the Goryeo Army gathered in the southern part of the peninsula.

"Hi, Commander!" Lieutenant General Iimura replied.

After receiving the order, Lieutenant General Ushijima Mitsuru, commander of the 11th Army of the Oriental Army, ordered the troops under the 11th Army to increase the intensity of the attack and strive to quickly defeat the 1st Army of the Goryeo Army 0… (To read the exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

At this moment, the 1st Army of the Goryeo Army has suffered heavy losses under the fierce attack of the Oriental Army.

Even in order to stabilize the defense line, they have already sent untrained recruits to the battlefield.

But even so, they are about to give up.

Fortunately, the Russian reinforcements arrived in Pyeongrang, relieving the crisis in Pyeongrang. Moreover, a large number of troops were on their way south to Seoul, which greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the 1st Army of the Goryeo Army.

Otherwise, they would have been defeated long ago.

While the Japanese stepped up their attack and tried to take Seoul before the reinforcements of the Tsarist Russian Army arrived, the 5th Russian Army was also speeding up its advance towards Seoul.

In order to buy time for the ground forces, the 20th Air Force of the Tsarist Russian Empire Air Force dispatched a large number of fighters to launch a large-scale bombing of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army.

Hundreds of MiG-40 fighters, covering a large number of dive bombers and medium bombers, carried out indiscriminate bombing on the Japanese Army.

The fierce bombing not only caused heavy losses to the Japanese Army. At the same time, it also severely hit the offensive momentum of the Japanese, giving the 1st Army of the Goryeo Army a chance to breathe. It also bought time for the 5th Army of the Tsarist Russian Army.

Two days later, the 5th Infantry Division of the 5th Army of the Tsarist Russian Army arrived in Seoul.
These troops had no time to rest and were immediately thrown into the battle.

The most important thing is to ensure that the position on the south bank of the Han River is not lost. Otherwise, if the Japanese occupy the Han River, the Russian Army will have to spend more time and energy to cross the Han River, which will seriously affect the supply of troops in the southern part of the peninsula.

Fortunately, the Koreans also know this, so they have been defending the south bank of the Han River. Even in the face of the fierce attack of the Japanese, they did not give up.

Now, the reinforcements of the Russian Empire Army have finally arrived, and they finally see hope.

As the troops under the 5th Army of the Russian Army arrived at the front line one after another. Even if the 11th Army of the Japanese Army was unwilling, it could only retreat to Incheon.

Otherwise, once the Russian Army launched a large-scale counterattack, they would probably be left here and would not be able to escape. .
