It turned out that Dashanyan finally ordered the Japanese army to gather in Yaogou after the failure and then try to cross the river. Therefore, after the defeat, most of the Japanese army retreated to Yaogou to join the army. So at this time, 100,000 people gathered in Yaogou, including the 1st Army, the 2nd Army, and the remnants of the 4th Army. Since the headquarters of the 1st Army had crossed the Yalu River, the 4th Army suffered heavy losses and not many people were left, so all Japanese troops were appointed to elect General Ao Baogong, the commander of the 2nd Army, to be the commander of the 2nd Army. However, at this time, there were only more than 30,000 Japanese troops gathered in Yaogou, and another 780,000 were logistics personnel.

In addition to setting up bridges on the Yalu River, the Japanese army also set up four ferries, each with 2,3 small steamers and more than 10 wooden boats. However, the Kilngou did not have a ferry, and the steamer had a deep draft and could not dock, so they could only use wooden boats to cross the river. Now the Japanese army has collected more than 10 wooden boats, each boat can accommodate 30-100 soldiers. On the one hand, Aobaogong arranged garrison troops around the Kilngou; on the other hand, he ordered people to cross the river with boats and send people to Sun Island, and then took the pontoon bridge to the east bank of Yalu River on the east bank of the Yalu River, and carried ropes with the boat to tie them on the trees on the other side, so that the soldiers who met the water could swim across the river.

Among the Japanese army and logistics personnel, there were quite a few who could get water. The distance of more than 300 meters was not too far. Moreover, it was June and the river was not cold, so swimming across the river was not difficult. However, the water flow of the Yalu River was quite fast. After all, most of the Japanese army did not have water or were slightly water-free. It was quite difficult to swim across the Yalu River. If ropes were tied at both ends and ropes were pulled across the river, it would be much easier.

Not long after, several wooden boats had already rowed to the other side. The soldiers tied the ropes to the trees, so they pulled out 4 or 5 ropes between the two sides. Some soldiers who could do water rushed into the water and pulled the ropes across the river.

But at this moment, the People's Army launched an attack on Yaogou. It turned out that after receiving the notice from the 4th Army, Luo Yue ordered the 4th Army to launch an attack on the Japanese army first and restrain the Japanese army. He would immediately send troops to reinforce, so the 4th Army immediately launched an attack on the Japanese army.

Although the Japanese army arranged garrison troops around, the loud guns and cannons still caused the Japanese soldiers on the shore to be in a mess. The original order of crossing the river became chaotic. The soldiers refused to give in to each other and even fought. Some soldiers even fired fire just to win a glimmer of hope. Some wooden boats were overloaded and drifted, and the side of the boat was almost the same as the water surface. If a little wave came, the river water could pour into the cabin. After some wooden boats left the shore, many people were stalked on the side of the wooden boat, making the wooden boat shaking. Moreover, two wooden boats were overloaded or shook by the people in the water. One was sinking in the water, and the other was overturned.

When the other people on the boat saw it, they were scared to death. Some people pushed people into the water to reduce the load on the wooden boat; some people on the boat used bayonets to smash the hands on the side of the boat with fierce force, and some people shot. Of course, some soldiers who had snatched the ship were angry, but raised their guns on the shore and shot at the boat; and some people on the boat also shot back. The voices of people were roaring, screaming, cries, gunshots, and screams became a whole, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic.

Some people who could have a little water did not participate in the competition for ships, but chose to swim across the river with ropes. However, due to too many people, the river water was quite fast. Some people could not grasp the ropes when they swim in the middle of the river and were washed away by the river water. Some people were too many people on the ropes, and they could not bear to bear and broke. As a result, the river was full of people struggling hard and shouting for help.

Although Ao Baogong was promoted to commander-in-chief, he was unsatisfied at this time and could not control the situation. Because except for some senior officers and nearly a hundred guard soldiers around him, no one listened to his command, so he could only stand on a high slope and smiled bitterly at the chaotic scene. However, their group did not participate in robbing the boat and crossing the river, and it was not anxious.

It turned out that Ao Baogong had already arranged a retreat for himself. When he first arrived at Yaogou, Ao Baogong found two wooden boats and a small steamer, arranged them to hide 10 kilometers upstream, and sent his confidant officer to take people to guard him. In fact, he could board the boat and cross the river at any time. However, Ao Baogong hoped to organize as many personnel as possible to cross the river and preserve more viable forces for the Japanese army, so he never left.

But at this time, the gunshots became closer and a guard reported that the army guarding the periphery had been defeated by the People's Army, and the People's Army was about to reach the riverside. It turned out that the 4th Army did overestimate the strength of the Japanese army. In fact, although there were many people gathered in Yaogou, the number of troops was actually not as large as that of the 4th Army. Moreover, the Japanese army was low in morale and low in fighting spirit. Although it was on the defensive end, it was not an opponent of the People's Army at all. It was quickly defeated by the People's Army, so the 4th Army immediately rushed to the riverside.

Before the guards finished their report, they heard two "boom" sounds. It turned out that two shells fell into the crowd on the shore and exploded. At this time, the Japanese army was even more panicked, and some even fled along the riverside. And at this moment, a group of small boats flowed from the Yalu River and fired at the riverside.

It turned out that this small boat was a small army fleet built by the East China government. It was a small army of more than 100 tons. The 75mm gun was installed at the bow and a 50mm rapid-fire gun was installed at the tail of the boat. There were two machine gun seats on the left and right sides, and the firepower was quite strong. After receiving the report from the 4th Army, Luo Yue was not sure how many Japanese troops had gathered in Yaogou. Moreover, the battlefield was fragmented. More than 10 gathering points in the scattered Japanese army had to be dispatched to clear out, and the occupied areas had to be left to guard the army. Therefore, Luo Yue could only send two divisions to assist the 4th Army in combat. Luo Yue was worried that the troops were insufficient, so he sent the 1st river fleet to reinforce, thinking that as long as the inland fleet could block the river surface and prevent the Japanese army from crossing the river, he would concentrate his efforts to deal with the Japanese army after the Japanese army in other places were wiped out.

The inland fleet has two squadrons, each with 5 military boats. One fleet sailed into the west waterway of Sun Island to reinforce the battle on the shore, while the other fleet sailed into the east waterway of Sun Island to destroy the pontoon bridge built on this section of the river. This completely cut off the Japanese army's way to escape the river.

It is naturally easy to destroy two pontoon bridges by 5 military boats, and they completed the task very smoothly. At this time, more than 2,000 people climbed onto the Sun Island, but most of them did not cross the Sun Island and reached the east bank of the Yalu River because they thought it would be safe to climb onto the Sun Island. Some people were robbing the boats and crossing the river. After landing onto the island, they felt somewhat ashamed, so they stayed on the Sun Island to assist other soldiers in crossing the river. At least they could receive some contact in the water near the coast, and even rescued the people near the coast, and could do some things to seek psychological comfort. As a result, the pontoon bridge was destroyed, and these people were trapped on the island and could not move forward or retreat. Some soldiers could not stand this psychological mood of ups and downs, and even collapsed on the spot and cried on the shore.

Another squadron was lined up on the west waterway of Sun Island, firing fire on the shore, and machine guns were placed on the side of the ship to strike the Japanese soldiers struggling in the river. They smashed all the wooden ships to pieces and cut off the ropes across the river, which only caused the Japanese troops on the shore to flee in scattered areas, and countless injuries were killed. The river surface was even full of corpses, and even the river water was dyed red.

At this time, Ao Baogong and others also knew that the general situation had gone. If they did not leave at this time, they would probably not be able to leave when the People's Army came to the siege, so they quickly left the high ground and marched upstream. Fortunately, the number of them was not large, and the riverside was in chaos. No one noticed their movements and finally escaped from the People's Army. On the upstream riverside, two hidden boats and steamships were found, and the boats were boarded onto the steamships.

Obogong ordered the steamer to drive to the other side of the Yalu River. At this time, Notsudo Kan said: "Obogong, we must not cross the Yalu River immediately, it is best to drive upward for a while."

Obogong was stunned for a moment and immediately understood Notsu Dokun's intention. Although the place where they boarded the ship was about 10 kilometers away from the Yaogou, there were people's army warships in the Yalu River now, and the steamer was not weapons. Considering the range of the naval guns, this was by no means a safe distance. It would be safer to drive a few kilometers upstream.

So the steamer immediately drove at full speed and drove upstream of the Yalu River. After driving for more than 40 minutes in one go, it was almost 7 or 8 kilometers away. Then it turned to the east bank of the Yalu River. When approaching the shore, the steamer lowered the boat and transported the personnel ashore in batches. Only after Aobaogong stepped onto the land did he feel completely relieved, feeling a little after the disaster.

However, although Aobaogong and his party arrived safely on the east bank of the Yalu River, the soldiers and logistics personnel who remained on the west bank, including those who fled to Sun Island, were not so lucky. Under the attack of the People's Army on the water and land lines, the Japanese army was beaten to death and had no way to escape, because they were completely surrounded by the People's Army and the Yalu River was behind them, so they had to choose to surrender.

Although the overall situation of the war was decided at this time, it was only three days after the end that the People's Army basically wiped out the scattered Japanese army. The final results were that the People's Army killed a total of 106,843 Japanese soldiers and captured 41,563 people; killed 227,374 Japanese logistics personnel and captured 128,743 people; and killed 11,478 people and injured 18,634 people. The Japanese army eventually fled to the east bank of the Yalu River, of which 50,000 were injured, which was about 40% of the total Japanese troops invested in Liaodong, and there were only more than 200,000 logistics personnel.

In addition, although most of the Japanese supplies had been transported across the Yalu River, the People's Army still seized a large number of weapons and ammunition, with more than 100,000 rifles alone, about 150 artillery pieces, more than 3,000 horses, bullets, and shells.
