#126. For the Motherland, for Stalin! Advance! Whoa!
March 25, 1949.
The 67th Division came up from the rear.
“Loyalty! Commanders, I am here.”
“Oh oh! Byeongju has arrived. “Welcome.”
“I had a hard time coming.”
When Brigadier General Lee Byeong-ju, commander of the 67th Division, greeted him upon entering the headquarters, Nam Byeong-woo and Jeong Seon-ho greeted him warmly.
“By the way, Byeongju is already the division commander? “Time flies so quickly.”
“ha ha ha! That’s right.”
“Hey, why are you doing this? “Now there is a difference of two classes?”
“What? Are you trying to match it now? “Does it seem like just yesterday that your nose was dripping?”
“wow! Difference between the two classes? Would you like to wear a star and take a look around the parade ground?”
“Huh!”
There is a difference of two classes, but there is still a long way for Lee Byung-joo to overcome Nam Byeong-woo and Jeong Seon-ho.
The two men had been flying around as brigade commanders since the time of liberation, and Lee Byeong-ju was only a major at the time.
However, as the demand for front-line division commanders increased rapidly, officers at the field officer level were promoted quickly, but for those above the corps commander level, there was a backlog of promotions as Lee Kang-cheol maintained the position of general, resulting in a delay in promotion compared to the position, leaving only a difference of ‘two ranks’. .
Of course, I said this for a laugh because we were always very close friends, and all of the people appointed as field army commanders during this war were scheduled to be promoted to general in the near future.
“Okay, anyway, what about the 67th?”
“The chief of staff said there was no room to step here and told us to stay 10km behind for now. So, I came to say hello first.”
“Well, it won’t be hectic here for a while. “When we move north, we come up and take care of the prisoners and control Mongolia.”
“Yes, Commander. “So, when do you plan on going up?”
“The 4th Far Eastern Front has moved south to 70km north, so I think a battle will break out sometime tomorrow afternoon. “General Jeong here will only help us with artillery fire for a few days and then move on to Ulan-Ude.”
“Is that still okay?”
“haha! I’m sending it because it’s okay. do not worry. “I won’t lend your hand.”
“Even though our division is a rear division, we can fight well.”
“It’s okay, dude. Your division is mainly equipped with light armor, so it won’t work. “It only hurts the kids for no reason.”
“Wow, that’s a shame.”
“There will be another opportunity later, so don’t fret too much. “It is not good for a commander to be greedy beyond his capabilities.”
“All right. Would it be okay for me to stay here at headquarters instead? “Even if I’m in the rear, there’s nothing to do right now.”
“Well, maybe it’s not that bad. Even for later.”
March 26th 14:30.
As Nam Byeong-woo said, the 4th Far Eastern Front Army came down the next day.
and
Quack! bang! bang! bang!
“Kaaaaak!”
“Aaaah!”
A wasteland in Mongolia with nowhere to escape.
After hearing only one instruction to go and rescue the Zabaikal Front Army because it was dangerous, they came down and were subject to air raids day and night, every day.
The air force had already melted down a long time ago.
Nevertheless, the fate of the 4th Far Eastern Front Army, which had pushed forward with confidence in its numbers, was harsher than that of the Zabaikal Front Army.
“Aaaah!”
“help me!”
Quang! bang! bang!
The 4th Far Eastern Front Army, which immediately began to take on the terrifying artillery fire from the 1st and 5th Field Armies, was pounded non-stop for as many as three days.
What’s worse is that the commander of the 4th Far East Army was Marshal Grigory Ivanovich Kulik.
This is because, as history changed, a person of such disreputable rank that he was called Won Kyun of the Soviet Army was not purged and became commander of the 4th Far Eastern Front.
And, while being pounded by artillery fire from the Republic of Korea Army, he makes a very bad decision.
“If we continue like this, we will die from the bombardment!”
“you’re right. So retreat… … .”
“Sokka! What bullshit! If we retreat like this, where will we go? Moreover, we don’t have any troops behind us to stop the Korean army!”
“Then what… … .”
“You idiot! “If we retreat from here, the higher-ups will leave us alone!”
In the end, this was it.
If we step down from here, it will be a purge.
“… … .”
“We still have the upper hand in terms of troops! Therefore, at midnight tonight, we will launch an assault on Ura! “Across all fronts!”
“Yes, Commander! that… … .”
“Sokka! Blah! I will personally feed bullets to those who oppose this! “The Chief of Staff knows this and prepares a large-scale attack!”
“… … .”
Ura (Ура) charge.
As a sister product, there is Banzai Charge.
Although it is not as famous in the world as the Banzai Charge, it is still one of only two charges that have become proper nouns along with the Banzai Charge.
And at midnight that night.
“For the Fatherland, for Stalin! Advance! Whoa!!! (За Родину, за Сталина! Вперёд! Уpа!!!)”
“Wow!!”
“Wow!!”
“Uraaaaa!!”
A whopping 300,000-strong army slowly advanced, shouting “Ura!”
Excluding the troops lost, the wounded, and non-combatants, most of the combat troops were mobilized.
“Hey, me! “What are they doing now?”
Nam Byeong-woo, who was watching the situation on video, asked in astonishment.
“Seo, senior, is that the Ura charge I’ve only heard about?”
Jeong Seon-ho also couldn’t help but feel absurd and asked back.
“No, you can cry and cry! Aren’t they crazy! “Where in the world are these guys who charge at the front lines?”
“It’s over there, right?”
“… … .”
“They come in droves so it’s easy to shoot, right? “I think three people per day is the standard.”
As Jeong Seon-ho said, the 4th Far Eastern Front’s assault on Ura was carried out with a width of less than 10 km.
At its peak, the Zabaikal Front formed a front line that stretched 100 km, and the 4th Far Eastern Front was so dense that it seemed like a single bullet would penetrate at least three people.
No, a 12.7mm K6 or M2 machine gun will penetrate even a squad of troops.
Kurrrrrr.
It seemed that all armored equipment and vehicles, including tanks, possessed by the 4th Front Army were mobilized.
The T-34 tank slowly maneuvered, and on its flanks and rear, numerous infantrymen walked quickly with guns in their hands.
The distance from the Korean military is approximately 4km.
“What are you going to do?”
Since the captain of this front was the 1st Field Army, and its leader was Nam Byeong-woo, Jeong Seon-ho asked.
“What to do? If you want to die, you have to kill them all. “There will probably be a one-sided massacre.”
“Ha, I really want to open that commander’s head with an axe. It probably has udon noodles instead of brains. “How can you make a decision like that?”
“I’m curious about that too. “What kind of medicine can you take to do something like that?”
It’s welcome when an enemy does something stupid.
However, seeing hundreds of thousands of people being driven to death like this is something I can’t even say I welcome.
This is because it is obvious that a large-scale massacre will occur.
“aide!”
“Yes, Commander.”
“Bring Marshal Malinovsky quickly!”
“All right.”
“General Jeong!”
“Yes, senior.”
“It seems that the plan to only provide assistance with artillery fire has gone astray. “Our 1st Field Army will take charge of the left side of the center, and your 5th Field Army will take charge of the right side.”
“All right.”
“Chief of Staff!”
“Yes, Commander.”
“Fire flares! “No dark places at all!”
“All right.”
bang! bang! bang!
As flares were fired from both field artillery and mortars, the entire front line became brightly lit, and a 300,000-strong army could be seen advancing like a rising tide.
“You’re crazy! “It’s so crazy!”
“This seems crazier than the Japanese.”
“Huh!”
At that time, Malinovsky approached Nam Byeong-woo, who was outside led by a security guard.
“What’s going on?”
“Look over there, Marshal Malinovsky.”
“What on earth… … . oh! oh my god!”
There was no need to look through the binoculars Nam Byeong-woo handed over.
Even with the naked eye, I could see the Red Army rushing in like a horde of zombies.
Then they will all die tonight.
“What on earth is going on? “Why is our military doing that?”
“What if you ask me that? “Should I ask the enemy commander, Marshal Kulik?”
“Oh, damn it! Kulik, this bastard is causing accidents!”
Malinovsky sighed.
This fucking shooting star that should have been put away a long time ago is driving hundreds of thousands of soldiers to their deaths.
“Commander! Give me a chance! I somehow… … .”
“Do you think Kulik will listen to you?”
“that… … .”
Of course I couldn’t hear it.
Kulik is a rare piece of trash who hindered the modernization of the Red Army, but in any case, he is much older than Malinovsky.
It’s strange when he listens to Malinovsky.
“Ha, then why on earth did I call you?”
“You can kill them all, but that doesn’t mean you can really kill them all, right?”
“then?”
“You might have an opportunity later, so wait for now.”
“Oh, I understand.”
As Nam Byeong-woo said, you can kill them all, but you can’t kill them all.
Up to this point, the Republic of Korea and the Soviet Union had no special enmity, so they did not want to go as far as massacre.
While Byeong-Woo Nam was talking to Malinovsky, the leader of the 4th Far Eastern Front had already advanced 4km forward.
“Chief of Staff!”
“Yes, Commander!”
“Start shelling!”
“Yes, Commander!”
“Oh God… … .”
Quack! bang! bang! bang! Quang!
All the firepower of the 1st and 5th Field Armies began bombardment.
Even the 81mm mortars spewed fire, and a hail of fire fell on the entire front of the 4th Far Eastern Front.
bang! bang! Quang! Quack!
“Ugh!”
“Kwaaaak!”
The Soviet soldiers screamed and their bodies exploded from the tremendous artillery fire that fell at a rate of one shot per pyeong.
“Do, run away!”
“Sokka! “There’s a solo squad behind us, so tell us where to run!”
“Kwaaaak!”
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang! Ta-ta-tang!
According to Kulik’s instructions, a large-scale military unit was organized, and it seemed that the 4th Far Eastern Front’s independent combat unit alone would number 5,000 to 6,000 men.
There was no way for them to run away as those troops were pouring down a barrage of machine cannons at our troops who turned around from behind.
“Ugh!”
Quaaaang! Quang! bang!
Even though the Soviet troops at the forefront were torn apart by artillery fire, the 4th Front Army steadily advanced, pushed back by the independent battle force in the rear.
Now it is only 2km from the Republic of Korea field army.
“Uraaaaa!”
“Anyway, even if you go backwards, you’ll fall! Uraaaaa!”
As the distance got closer, the lead troops began to charge while shouting “Woo-ra”.
“Uraaaaa!”
“Uraaaaa!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the Korean military, heavy machine guns such as K6 and M2 finally began to fire.
Because the Korean military basically expected to fight against the many with a small number of people, it possessed far more 12.7mm cannons than the armies of other countries.
The 12.7mm guns possessed by the 1st and 5th Field Armies amounted to several thousand, so everything was useless in front of them, whether it was Haejin tactics, Banzai assault, or Ura assault.
“Kaaaa!”
“Aaaahhh!”
The Ura assault line melted from the front.
A literal massacre occurred.
“Chief of Staff!”
“Yes, Commander!”
“Tell the artillery to wipe out the enemy forces in the rear first!”
“All right!”
bang! Quang! bang! bang!
Due to sophisticated artillery fire, the line of the independent squadron in the rear collapsed.
“Ugh!”
“Aaaah!”
However, as many as 300,000 people are charging.
Wiping out the poisonous squadron did not mean that the assault would stop.
Even though they were pushed by inertia, the Soviet army continued to push back.
As the body explodes under the bombardment of artillery fire and machine guns.
Ta-ta-ta-ta-tang! Boom!
“Uraaaaa!”
“Kaaak!”
“Wow… … . “Wow!”
It’s already been two hours since the assault began.
It seemed like at least 100,000 people had died in those two hours.
The corpses formed mountains and the blood flowed like rivers.
“Hehehehe!”
Malinovsky wept at this miserable sight.
Because our country’s young soldiers were dying because of the instructions of their idiot commander.
“aide!”
“Yes, Commander.”
“Use all loudspeakers and tell them to surrender!”
“All right.”
“And Marshal Malinovsky!”
“Speak!”
“Speak into this radio! “If you don’t surrender, you will all die!”
“I understand!”
Malinovsky hurriedly put his mouth to the radio’s handset and began to shout.
“I am Malinovsky, commander of the Zabaikal Front! Commander Kulik! Stop now! Are you planning to kill all our young people? Stop this trash right now! Sucks!”
“… … .”
However, no reply came, and the 4th Far Eastern Front Army continued to die as a six-piece unit.
