Han Country's Army Defeated
The attack of the People's Army was completely unexpected. The battle unfolded along the 38th parallel. The enemy only put up a tenacious resistance in the directions of Xianjin, Kaesong, and Hancheng.
The more organized resistance only began after 12 hours on the first day. On the first day of the battle, the North Korean People's Army captured the following cities: Xianjin (Xianjin direction), Kaesong, Songyu-ri.
In the direction of Chunchuan, the People's Army had advanced 12 kilometers. They had advanced eight kilometers on the eastern coast.
On the very first day, the Navy of the People's Republic of Korea had two landing forces on the coast of the Sea of Japan:
The first landing force was in the Jiangling area, consisting of two battalions of naval landing forces and about 1,000 guerrillas.
The second landing force was in the Weizhen area, including 600 guerrillas.
The landing force landed at 5 o'clock on June 25th, and the whole process went smoothly. The guerrilla landing force captured several towns in and around Ulzhen City.
During the landing process, the People's Army warships fought with the South Korean army's warships.
As a result of the battle, a Southern minesweeper was sunk and another was destroyed. There were no casualties in the navy of the People's Republic of Korea.
On June 26, the KPA troops continued to attack, pushing deeper into South Korean territory.
On the 26th of June (from right to left), they completely wiped out the Xianjin Peninsula and Kaesong area. The 6th Division's troops crossed the bay and captured the residential area in the direction of Gimpo Airport.
In the direction of Han City, the 1st and 4th divisions captured Wenshan, Dongdouchuan, and other cities, while the 2nd division captured Chunchuan City. On the coast of the Sea of Japan, the troops were still advancing. Zhu Wenjin Port has been conquered.
There was no contact with the 12th Infantry Division that was moving in the direction of Hongchuan, the 3rd Infantry Division that had crossed Matsuyuri and attacked the Uijeongbu, and the Mechanized Brigade for an entire day.
Fierce fighting was taking place on two roads that led directly to the capital of South Korea.
On the front line between Teohara-Uijeongbu, the North Korean People's Army was led by Soviet-made T-34 tanks. With the support of heavy artillery, mortars, and heavy machine guns, two divisions and a regiment, a total of 28,000 people, quickly broke through the front line of the South Korean Army, which was only one division, and then advanced at an alarming speed.
The North Korean People's Army and the South Korean Army had the same number of soldiers as the Uijeongbu Army. These two directions, one east and one west, were like an open iron clamp that was about to close at the heart of South Korea.
With the assistance of the Soviet weapons and equipment, the North Korean People's Army had seven infantry divisions, a tank brigade, a border security brigade, and a motorcycle regiment. Not only was the strength twice that of the South Korean army, but the quality and morale of the officers were also unmatched by the South Korean army.
Most of the soldiers were veterans who had participated in the War of Resistance against Japan. There were also Korean soldiers who had participated in the War of Resistance against Japan and the War of Liberation. Even the recruits were mostly workers and farmers who had just been liberated. The political advantage made the North Korean army show amazing strength in the early stages of the war.
In the direction of Gaolangpo, the 13th Regiment suffered 90% casualties in the first wave of battle. The tanks of the People's Army quickly broke through the South Korean army's position.
In the direction of the Imjin River, the 1st Division of South Korea, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Rodwell and Commander Baek Son Yup, deployed their positions on the south bank of the Imjin River, waiting for the defeated 12th Regiment to reorganize their resistance.
As a result, the defeated soldiers of the 12th Regiment swarmed in, followed closely by the pursuers of the 1st Division of the North Korean People's Army. The South Korean engineers quickly pressed the button to blow up the Imjin Bridge, but the cables had been cut. The People's Army flooded in and occupied the strategically important bridge.
The direction of the Uijeongbu government was an extremely important geographical corridor for the military. Tanks could be deployed here. This direction was the final barrier for Han City. The South Korean 7th Division was facing the North Korean 3rd and 4th Divisions.
The two divisions of the People's Army launched an attack at the same time. The engineers destroyed the blockhouses on both sides of the road under the cover of tanks and self-propelled artillery. The infantry climbed the steep cliffs on the side of the road and infiltrated the enemy's rear. The tank troops on the road were determined to advance. The front line of the South Korean army quickly collapsed.
Only the South Korean army in Chunchon managed to counterattack the attack of the 2nd North Korean Army. However, due to the defeat of the Uijeongbu army, Chunchon had become an isolated outpost. It was too late for them to run for their lives, so their only resistance was abandoned.
The performance of the South Korean Army, who was called the " hero of Asia " by Brigadier General William Robert, the head of the U.S. military advisor group, shocked the Americans rather than disappointing the advisor group.
In the pouring rain, the disorganized South Korean army could be seen fleeing southward. At this moment, the US military's consultant team received a report that shocked them even more. Several Soviet-made Jacques propeller-driven planes of the People's Army flew over the airspace of Seoul and Gimpo Airport. The control tower of Gimpo Airport and a US-made C-54 transport plane were hit, and a fuel tank caught fire. Another small airport near Seoul was also attacked, and seven of the ten training planes at the airport were hit.
The most serious thing was that the planes on these airfields had already begun to fly north along the highway, shooting at the terrified South Korean army at low altitudes, turning the originally defeated army into a terrifying one that stretched for dozens of kilometers. In a telegram to MacArthur, the American military advisor said,""Whether it's the military situation or the mentality, the Han army has completely collapsed.”
The defeated South Korean army established a defensive line in the Miali area north of Seoul, known as the Miali Defense Line.
The South Korean army was planning to use the mountainous terrain surrounding the Jingyuan Road as a last stand to defend the city.
This was indeed the last resistance. The battle continued until noon on the 27th, when the North Korean army finally broke through the Cangdong defense line in front of the Miali defense line.
As soon as the sky turned dark, the soldiers of the People's Army infiltrated the rear of the entire defensive line on a large scale. The Miali defensive line had completely collapsed.
