The 21st Infantry Division, 22nd Division and 23rd Division under the Fifth Army of the Eastern Army landed on the Korean Peninsula and joined the First Army in the operational order.
In this way, the strength of the First Army of the Eastern Army increased to nine infantry divisions.
In the order of operations of the Fifth Army, there were still ten infantry divisions left. But even so, it is definitely a heavy group.
The commander of the Fifth Army, Senior General Keiaki Kawamura, personally led the Fifth Army and went straight to Yingkou under the escort of naval warships.
At present, Yingguchi is still under the control of the Toyo Army.
Even the 5th Infantry Division and the 10th Infantry Division of the Fourth Army of the Eastern Army continued their attack on Oishihashi. It’s just that these two infantry divisions have already suffered more than half of the casualties, and there is not much combat effectiveness left. Their daily attacks are more like routine, or perfunctory.
If it were not for the fact that the Russian army had been on the defensive, waiting for the navy to defeat the Imperial Navy of the East Ocean first. I am afraid that the troops assembled by the Russian army at the Great Stone Bridge will be able to defeat them in one fell swoop.
In addition, the attack of the 14th Infantry Division under the Fourth Army of the Eastern Army on the Shahe Line also ended in failure. After suffering heavy losses, the entire infantry division retreated to Gaizhou, and for the time being, it could no longer pose a threat to the Shahe defense line.
This made the entire battlefield situation quite unfavorable to the Eastern Imperial Army.
This was also the main reason why the Eastern Imperial Army decided to increase its troops in a big way.
However, after all the Fifth Army went into battle, the Eastern Imperial Army could be said to have dispatched all its troops.
Even so, there is no guarantee that the Eastern Imperial Army will be victorious.
Therefore, the formation speed of the Sixth Army of the Eastern Imperial Army also began to accelerate.
Compared to the previous five corps, the Sixth Army was larger. The infantry divisions to be formed amounted to a full 34. All the retired personnel of the Eastern Empire over the years have received conscription orders.
All reservists under the age of 40 report to local military stations, distribute weapons, and undergo adaptive training.
The divisions and regiments of the Eastern Imperial Army have always implemented a local conscription policy. With an infantry division, or an infantry wing, it is mainly people from the same place. This allows them to trust each other more and exert greater combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
Once the formation of the Sixth Army of the Eastern Army is completed, it will give the Eastern Army millions of reserves. In the following battles, the Toyo Army will undoubtedly have more troops to devote to the big war. This gave the Eastern Empire the strength to continue the war.
Once this war turned into a competition of endurance, the Eastern Empire believed that they had a greater chance of winning this battle.
In this war, the Eastern Empire wanted to win the decisive battle at sea. At the same time, it is also hoped that the land war can be won.
On 412 AD, the 21st Infantry Division of the Toyo Army, the 22nd Division and the 23rd Division landed at Inchon and Nampo respectively, joining the operational order of the First Army of the Toyo Army.
After receiving the addition of the new force, the strength of the First Army of the Eastern Army increased greatly. These three infantry divisions and more than 80,000 troops were put into the battlefield, so that the First Army of the Eastern Army could put more troops into the offensive on the battlefield of the Goryeo Peninsula. Their superiority in forces can be brought into full play.
Especially when the troops use the assault attack tactics of brigades or wings, they can attack more places.
This made the six infantry divisions deployed by the Russian army on the Korean Peninsula somewhat miserable. The number of troops is too small, almost only more than forty percent of the Orientals, to maintain too long a front.
The Oriental people continue to attack with small troops, which makes the Russian army defenseless!
Coupled with the mountainous and complicated terrain of the Korean Peninsula, the Eastern Army made full use of the terrain, so that the Russian Army’s defense line was constantly broken. The war situation on the entire Korean Peninsula became more and more unfavorable for the Russian army.
The generals stationed on the Goryeo Peninsula reported this news to the headquarters of the army group. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
The commander of the 6th Army of the Russian Army, General Kulopatkin, and the chief of staff, Major General Yakov, also realized that the problem was serious after receiving reports from the front.
“Your Excellency Commander, the Orientals have once again increased their forces on the Korean Peninsula, and they have absolute superiority in terms of strength. The six infantry divisions deployed by the Imperial Army on the Korean Peninsula had a total strength of only more than 100,000 men. And the Orientals have already invested more than twice as many troops as theirs.
Although, we inflicted great losses on the Goryeo Peninsula for the Orientals. But it also paid a certain loss. Coupled with the special topography of the Korean Peninsula and the tactics adopted by the Orientals, our defense was very difficult.
If we are to continue to stabilize the current front, we will need at least three more infantry divisions, if not more. ”
Major General Yakov said.
Admiral Kulopatkin nodded repeatedly: “Although we still have quite a few reserves in our hands.” However, it is necessary to prevent the Oriental from continuing to increase their troops. They have already increased their troops to the Goryeo Peninsula. Then, the Liaodong Peninsula will definitely become a battlefield for their troops. Our reserves should remain as long as possible so that they can be reinforced to the most critical battlefields at any time. ”
Yakov less 003 will agree with this.
“Your Excellency Commander, if this is the case, then I am afraid that we can only abandon the Goryeo Peninsula and retreat to the front line of the Raolu River. With the help of the Raven Green River, it resisted the attack of the Orientals. Major General Yakov suggested.
Admiral Kulopatkin hesitated a little and agreed with the proposal.
“His Majesty the Tsar’s order was to limit the war to the Goryeo Peninsula. We retreated to the front line of the Crow Green River, and did not violate the requirements of His Majesty the Tsar. With the help of the Raven Green River, with six infantry divisions, it was completely able to withstand the attack of the Orientals. Immediately telegram asking for the opinion of His Majesty the Tsar. If His Majesty approves, execute it immediately! Admiral Kulopatkin ordered.
“Yes, Your Excellency Commander!” Major General Yakov answered.
Mikhail, who was far away in Vladivostok, received a telegram from Admiral Kulopatkin, and immediately said that the front-line army could abandon the Goryeo Peninsula, and there was no need to fight with the Orientals on the Goryeo Peninsula at present.
As long as you hold the defense line of the Raven Green River, then you can do it. As for the life or death of the Goryeo people, he didn’t care.
Immediately, the troops of the Russian army garrisoned on the Goryeo Peninsula withdrew on a large scale, all the way to the defense line of the Raolon River.
This caused almost all of the Goryeo Peninsula to fall into the hands of the Orientals, which gave them a major victory since the beginning of the war.
