Of course, what shocked Dashanyan was not only the easy breakthrough of the defense line by the People's Army, but also the People's Army used some methods to destroy five bridges on the Yalu River, including two floating bridges that had just been erected and far away from the mouth of the Yalu River. The strangeness in it was indeed incredible. Now Dashanyan not only secretly regretted it. If he had known that the People's Army had such a means, he would have given up all the supplies and let the personnel cross the river as soon as possible. As a result, there are still about 160,000 troops and 300,000 logistics personnel left on the west bank of the Yalu River, which is probably a little bit of danger. After all, equipment is dead, and talent is the most important. Moreover, most of the Japanese army's troops are still on the west bank of the Yalu River. If they were completely wiped out by the People's Army, although the Japanese army is not completely wiped out, they will be greatly damaged.

But it's too late to regret it now. First, deal with the difficulties in front of you. The Japanese army did not intend to garrison here for a long time, so they did not set up defense lines around Jiulian City. Fortunately, the 1st Army only crossed the river with one division, two brigades, and the 2nd Division had not even completed one brigade, and there were two brigades stationed on the northern line. Therefore, a complete brigade and most of the brigades, as well as two brigades, were left in Jiulian City, with about 15,000 troops, so Dashanyan immediately ordered the remaining troops of the 1st Army to guard Jiulian City.

However, although the order was issued, Dashanyan's own heart star was not at all. The People's Army had broken through the Japanese outer defense line in less than an hour. Now it only relied on the remaining troops of the 1st Army to temporarily deploy defense. How long can the People's Army be blocked? Fortunately, the People's Army is only breaking through the southern line, and there is no movement in the northern line. Therefore, Dashanyan ordered the logistics personnel to rush to Yaogou to gather first, and prepare ships and ropes to cross the river here. In addition to setting up bridges on the Yalu River, the Japanese army also prepared a small number of ships in case of unexpected needs. Now it can be used. If the Japanese army fails to fight, they will immediately retreat northward and gather in the Yaogou area, trying to cross the river here.

This place was originally a section of the river where the Japanese army built a floating bridge, because there was an alluvial island in the middle of the river called Sun Island. The river road was divided into two streams here. Each river surface was only more than 300 meters wide. Although the water flow was relatively fast, it was more convenient to cross the river by boat or by swimming in the river. Moreover, the People's Army destroyed the floating bridge from Sun Island to the west bank of Yalu River, and did not destroy the floating bridge connecting the east bank. Therefore, as long as you can climb to Sun Island, you can reach the east bank of Yalu River.

Of course, since the People's Army can destroy the pontoon bridge on the west bank, it can naturally destroy the pontoon bridge on the east bank. However, now Dashanyan doesn't care about so much, and he can send as many troops as he can cross the river.

Before the arrangement of Dashanyan was completed, the People's Army's Marines rushed to the surrounding areas of Jiuliancheng and launched a fierce battle with the Japanese army.

At this time, the Marine Corps actually had only two regiments, plus the fire support force, the total strength was only more than 8,000, while the Japanese army had 15,000 troops. Even if artillery and auxiliary soldiers were removed, the forces that could be used for direct combat exceeded 10,000. Moreover, the Japanese army was on the defensive end, and generally speaking, the attacking forces must be more than defense. However, the People's Army's armored forces were once again exerted, and this time it was no longer a group charge, but it was divided into two groups and one team to advance separately. As a result, the Japanese defense line was easily torn to pieces, which once again proved that the armored mechanical forces were the king of war in the future.

The Marine Corps followed the armored combat vehicles and quickly advanced through the gap torn by the armored combat vehicles, killing countless Japanese soldiers. Seeing that they could not stop the attack of the People's Army, the Japanese army had to retreat one after another. Only a small part escaped into Jiulian City, while the rest bypassed Jiulian City and fled towards Yaogou.

At this time, the Marine Corps was divided into two parts, one part sweeping away the Japanese army's remnants outside the city, and the other part rushed into Jiulian City and directly attacked the Japanese army's headquarters.

Jiuliancheng is not a big city. The length and width of the city are only more than 200 meters, and the defenders in the city only have the guards of Dashanyan's military headquarters. Therefore, the staff and staff advised Dashanyan to leave Jiuliancheng as soon as possible and make plans. In fact, if Dashanyan escapes to the Yalu River and finds a boat at this time, there is still a high chance of shooting across the Yalu River.

But Dashanyan refused the advice of his aides and staff, refused to leave Jiuliancheng, but ordered the aides and staff to leave. It turned out that Dashanyan was full of thoughts at this time, and he just wanted to stay in Jiuliancheng and die for the city, and had no idea of ​​escaping. Because the result of this battle was doomed, the Japanese army would definitely suffer a major failure, and the goal of allowing the Japanese army to retreat to the Korean Peninsula was completely impossible to achieve. As the main general of the entire army, Dashanyan was

The reason for the responsibility is that the retreat window period two days ago, Dashanyan failed to give up the supplies and let the army cross the river first, which became Dashanyan's biggest decision-making mistake. Therefore, even if he fled to the Korean Peninsula, Dashanyan would not be able to escape from the responsibility in Japan in the future. At that time, it is very likely to be regarded as a scapegoat in the country and eventually be ruined. Therefore, he did not die in Jiuliancheng in battle, which would be considered a sacrifice for the country, and it would not be possible to use himself as a scapegoat in the country.

The staff members and staff members were ineffective in admonition. Instead, Dashanyan ordered them to leave as the commander and try their best to escape the Yalu River. At this time, the gunfire became more and more intense, so the staff members and staff members did not dare to stay in Jiulian City for a long time, so they had to evacuate from Jiulian City and retreat towards the direction of Yaogou. Of course, there were also some staff members who were willing to stay and accompany Dashanyan to die for the city.

The People's Army entered Jiulian City and basically did not encounter any strong resistance. First, there were not many Japanese troops in Jiulian City, and second, the Japanese army's fighting spirit was not high, so the tenacious resistance like in Liaoyang City did not appear at all. Therefore, at 1 a.m. on June 6, the People's Army completely occupied Jiulian City and found 7 or 8 corpses in the Japanese headquarters. One of them was wearing a uniform that was very different from others, at least at the level of a general. The cause of death was that the temple was penetrated and a pistol was holding in his hand, which proved that he had committed suicide. The captives confirmed that this person was Marshal Oyama Iwa, the commander of the Japanese Manchu Army.

Just when the People's Army occupied Jiuliancheng, the Japanese army's southern defense line was also defeated. In fact, after the gap was torn open by the armored troops, the collapse of the Japanese defense line was just a matter of time. Therefore, after the commander of the Japanese 2nd Corps, General Obogong, who was responsible for guarding the southern line, negotiated with Major General Luohe Toshiro, Chief of Staff, he also decisively ordered to evacuate from the battlefield and retreat towards the direction of Yaogou.

Just as the Japanese army retreated, the People's Army also took advantage of the situation and then covered up the killing. Not only did it kill and kill the Japanese army in large quantities, but it also captured many Japanese soldiers and Japanese logistics personnel.

At 4 a.m., the People's Army received good news again. It turned out that the 3rd Army had captured Phoenix City. The People's Army's attack on Phoenix City was the earliest, and the Japanese 4th Army guarding Phoenix City had only less than 40,000 troops. However, the Japanese army had been preparing for Phoenix City for a long time and built a relatively complete defense system, which caused considerable difficulties for the People's Army's attack.

In addition, the news of the defeat in Phoenix City was far away from the main battlefield. The news of the defeat in Jiulian City was late to Phoenix City, which allowed the defenders of Phoenix City to maintain a high fighting spirit for a long time, which naturally increased the difficulty of the People's Army's attack. Fortunately, the 3rd Army had two aces, self-propelled artillery and towed artillery, so they relied on powerful firepower to conquer the Japanese positions bit by bit. As a result, they fought fiercely for most of the night before they broke through the Japanese defense line. The commander of the 4th Army, Nozu Daokuen and Chief of Staff Uehara Yuzu led the defeated army and retreated eastward. On the way, they were attacked by the People's Army that captured Jiulian City, and were beaten to almost collapse. Nozu Daokuen and Uehara Yuzu escaped from the battlefield under the protection of a small number of elite troops.

After conquering Jiuliancheng, the People's Army basically secured the victory after Phoenix City. However, the war did not end completely at this time. After all, the number of Japanese troops was too large. Even the logistics personnel had received some basic military training. Therefore, after being defeated by the Japanese army, the system was completely disrupted. The remaining Japanese troops, the logistics personnel consciously and unconsciously divided into dozens of small groups, fighting on their own, and the battlefield was also fragmented and extremely chaotic.

Since it was fighting at night, even if the People's Army had drones and advanced communication equipment, it was difficult to ensure full control of the battlefield. After fierce battles, the organization of the People's Army was a little messed up, and a lot of weapons and ammunition was consumed. Therefore, Luo Yue decided to temporarily stop the battle and only guard a few key points of the construction. Each unit rectified on the spot and restored the organization, and waited for dawn to find the Japanese army. Anyway, all the bridges have been bombed now, so there is no fear that the Japanese army can fly across the Yalu River. At the same time, Luo Yue also moved the command center to Jiuliancheng, which is more in command, and also sent a large number of scouts to reconnaise the movements and distribution of the Japanese army.

At 6 a.m., Luo Yue received a notice from the 4th Army responsible for the restraining of the northern line. He found that a large number of Japanese troops gathered in the Yaogou area, with a population of about 100,000, and was organizing the use of ships, ropes and other objects to cross the river. Since it was close to the defense area of ​​the 4th Army, it was first discovered by the 4th Army. However, the 4th Army actually had only half an army, and the total strength was less than 40,000 people, so he did not dare to launch an attack easily, so he hurriedly reported to Luo Yue.
