Anti-Japanese War of Independence and General Ji Cheongcheon of Baeksan Mountain. 6. Anti-Man Anti-Japanese War, a joint venture between Korea and China.(2)

 The Korean Independence Army, whose military power has been organized, has joined forces with the Chinese Volunteer Army to establish an operation plan to attack Ssangseong Fortress. Ssangseong Fortress was the key point of the Hapjang Line and a place of great strategic value as a collection of Manchuria products. Therefore, the enemy also strategically emphasized Ssangseong, and more than two troops from the Ilmanyang-gun regiment were stationed. At that time, the headquarters of Uchimjing, the commander of the Manchurian Chobi Army, was also stationed in Ssangseong. Go Bong-rim, the commander of the 7th Brigade of the Guilimjawi Army, spoke with a little concern while reviewing the operational map. "The other day, this was the place where the main unit of our Guilimjawi Army and the Middle East Railway Force fought against the enemy's invasion, but failed to defend and retreat due to unfavorable circumstances. There will be a lot of enemy troops stationed, so will our operation be successful?" General Ji Cheong-cheon was told by Ko Bong-rim in a curious voice. Regardless of success or failure, the military's operation must be carried out when it is deemed necessary. And you must prepare carefully for the success of the operation. The attack on Ssangseong is an operation that has a very important military strategy for us. Not only does it mean an attack on the enemy, but it also means blocking military supplies against enemies moving north by recapturing important military and strategic points from the rear of the enemy. Furthermore, it is possible to boost the morale of our troops by recapturing the place where the Guilim Self-Defense Force and the Middle East Railway Force failed to defend themselves. I think of this operation as a battle to avenge our defeat in the initial battle." "Well, listening to General Ji's words, I feel motivated to occupy the binary castle. However, since it is impossible to recapture Ssangseong with this unit alone, let's contact other military organizations with anti-Japanese will and build a castle under close cooperation." Ko Bong-rim accepted Ji Cheong-cheon's opinion and soon ordered the entire army to march. The Korean Independence Army, which departed from the camp site Nalimjang and marched for about 80km for two to three days, arrived in the suburbs of Ssangseong. General Ji Cheong-cheon discussed operations with Kim Chang-hwan, a deputy commander of the Korean Independence Army, and Ko Bong-rim, a commander of the Chinese Volunteer Army, and decided on the specific date and operation plan. In this process, Hong Chang-dae and Heuk Chang-dae, Chinese secret association organizations with religious ideas, have also expressed their intention to participate in the battle. General Ji Cheong-cheon, who sent his scouts to examine the appropriateness, called in Chinese volunteer military commander Gobong-rim and staff to hold a Gusuhoe. "We'd better set the attack date as August 15th. One day before the start of the operation, we will march at night, advance around the Ssangseong Fortress, surround the enemy, and conduct an all-out attack from the evening of the start of the operation." "Okay. In the event of a full-scale attack, why don't we have the 1st Army of the Jilin Self-Defense Forces take charge of the 1st Army of the Jilin Self-Defense Forces, the 2nd Army of the Jilin Self-Defense Forces and the Korean Army play together?" Prior to the battle, General Ji Cheong-cheon explained the outline and tactics of the operation to the soldiers of the Korean Independence Army and gave spiritual training. The morale of the independent army soldiers was filled. The moment of the showdown was approaching for the Korean independence army, which had been vowing to face the Japanese enemy. The battle against the enemy stationed in the original castle is much more difficult than the battle against the enemy stationed on flat land. However, the exact operation plan of Hong Chang-dae, who was ambushing enemies who were attacking and fleeing by the three gates, and the high morale of the Korean independence forces participating in the battle remained even after overcoming the difficulties of Gongseongjeon. General Ji Cheong-cheon led the unit on August 14 and formed a front 4km outside Ssangseong. And the next evening, the operation finally began. At that time, many grain-stacked Nojeokgari on the plains around Ssangseong Fortress used this as a cover, and the ROK-China Allied Forces approached the gate and launched an attack at once. "Shoot! Don't let enemies approach the gates!" The Japanese and Manchurian troops in the castle desperately resisted by firing machine guns and mortars. However, it was not enough to prevent the total offensive of the ROK-China coalition forces, which has already risen to the point where morale has risen and is approaching 30,000 troops. The Korean Independence Army, which was at the forefront of the attack, used a ladder to climb over the wall while shooting a series of rifles and long guns over the walls. Kwon Oh-jin, the sixth commander of the Korean Independence Army, who took the lead in climbing the wall and ran toward the fortress, used shooting skills close to the spirit of God to kill dozens of Japanese soldiers who were guarding the gate and throw grenades to destroy the gate. Taking this opportunity, the main unit of the Korean Independence Army led by General Ji Cheong-cheon and the main unit of the Chinese volunteer force of Go Bong-rim shouted and rushed into the castle. "I can't do this." The north gate was empty, so retreat to that side!" When the three gates were opened and the ROK-China Allied Forces invaded the castle, they could no longer endure and began to flee toward the north gate. However, they were also not safe by the ambushed Hong Chang-dae and Heukchangdae warriors. And the defenders of the rest of the castle surrendered with white flags. The ROK-China Allied Forces killed 700 Japanese and Manchurian troops in this battle and captured about 100 prisoners. The Allied Forces, which won the Gongseongjeon, organized the spoils after choreographing the citizens of the castle. As it was a strategic hub, weapons, horses, ammunition, sheath, and whole grains were abundant. Thus, the ROK-China Allied Forces supplemented enough military supplies to survive the winter. However, Ssangseong Fortress was located on flat ground, making it difficult to defend against enemy attacks with bomber planes, and it was difficult for tens of thousands of Chinese and Chinese allied forces to continue to be stationed. General Ji Cheong-cheon judged that it was strategically advantageous to temporarily move the garrison and prepare for the enemy's offensive. Thus, the Korean Independence Army moved to Ugadun, about 20km south of Ssangseong. However, some Chinese military units were distributed inside and outside the castle to prepare for enemy invasion. The Korean Independence Army devoted itself to military training in Ugadun, devising its next operational plan. In addition, military supplies such as weapons, ammunition, and food can be enriched to further strengthen troops, so personnel were dispatched to recruit recruits. Deputy Commander Kim Chang-hwan, Cho Gyeong-han, and Cha Cheol, who were appointed as conscripts, led a unit of troops, toured various counties such as Oh Sang and Ah Seong, and worked to increase recruits through lectures on current affairs. Since the Manchurian Incident, the situation in Manchuria was unstable, so the Korean Independence Army had a lot of difficulties in recruiting troops, but it was able to overcome difficulties, travel around the country, and achieve considerable results. However, after a while, a large army of the Japanese and Mann Allied Forces fought back to recapture the Ssangseongbo, and there was a rebellion inside the Chinese army, which is a defensive force, so the Ssangseongbo was again dominated by the Japanese and Mandyangguns. General Ji Cheong-cheon decided to strike Ssangseong again and held an operational meeting with Jorin, chief of staff of the 7th Brigade of the Jilin Self-Defense Forces, along with the staff of the Korean Independence Army. "We attack Ssangseong again, but it won't be as easy as the last operation. This is because the enemy forces attacked strategic points from the rear are expected to be dispatched from Heo Il-bin and Jang Chun in advance," General Ji Chung-cheon nodded and responded at the words of Ko Bong-rim, the 7th Brigade commander of the Guilimjawi Army. "That's why it will be difficult for us to win unless we prepare for a detailed operation. Look at this." The ROK-China coalition staff focused on the point where they pointed their fingers at the map spread out by Ji Cheongcheon Stream. "Oga Station is a railway station on the way from Herbin to Ssangseong, and Nanneung Station is a railway station on the way from Jangchun to Ssangseong. If a battle breaks out in Ssangseong, it is a transport hub that Japanese troops stationed in Changchun or Herbin must go through to support their own troops. We need to make the development of the operation advantageous by sending some troops here and preempting them tactically." Jicheongcheon continued to explain while looking around the staff and officers. ""Our Korean military will take charge of blocking the guard line centered on Ssangseong and near Oga Station. The Chinese military is in charge of supplying ammunition and military supplies to the South Korean military near Nanneung Station.

It would be better for the Korean and Chinese forces to unite to take unification action for the bisexual attack." The Korean Independence Army organized 15 units with 200 people and launched a second bisexual attack on November 7. The main operation of the ROK-China Allied Forces, divided into two attacking units, was handled by the Korean Independence Army. As infantry began charging from the front, rear, and left, machine gun guards advanced from the center, and the dispersion unit fired mortar to blunt the enemy's counterattack. Three hours after the engagement, the Japanese and Taiwanese forces surrendered, and the Korean and Chinese allied forces succeeded in occupying the binary castle for the second time. Meanwhile, the Korean Independence Army, which had been ambushed at Ogi Station, buried bombs at the point of train passage, and then bombed and attacked when trains carrying four Japanese troops passed by to fundamentally block the enemy's ambivalence. However, not long after the ROK-China Allied Forces recaptured Ssangseong, large-scale enemy troops attempted to counterattack and gave up Ssangseong again. The Japanese and Taiwanese forces attacked the Korean-Chinese Allied Forces, which occupied the Ssangseong Fortress with aircraft at the forefront. The Japanese and Manchurian troops have approached the walls by mountain-repellent cannons and artillery. In the sky, dozens of double-leaved planes rang the engine loudly and dropped bombs on the Allied camp. As binge drinking rang everywhere, the number of Allied casualties began to increase. In preparation for the enemy's counterattack, the troops were ambushed to prepare for the elements, but the defensive front was collapsing due to the bombing of the aircraft. The Chinese volunteer forces began to retreat, leaving the camp behind due to lack of morale. "No can do. We can't hold out here anymore either. All troops, hurry up and retreat!" General Ji Cheong-cheon, the commander-in-chief of the Korean Independence Army, also issued an order to retreat to all troops despite his grief. Oh Kwang-seon, the first battalion commander of the Korean Independence Army, took care of his troops under his command and sighed as he retreated. "Oh, my... I hate airplanes!" Whenever the Korean Independence Army joined forces with the Chinese Volunteer Army and fought with the Japanese and Manchuria forces, it had a brilliant record in land warfare, but when the enemy bombed using aircraft, it was undoubtedly defeated. As long as most of them were infantry forces, no matter how high anti-Japanese awareness and excellent operational plans were for the Chinese Allied Forces, they had no talent to overcome if the Japanese mobilized air force. There was no other way than to use aircraft for the Japanese military to win the Korean Independence Army and the Chinese Volunteer Army. That was the limit of Japanese military tactics. When the ROK-China Allied Forces retreated to Chung Ha-jin in the mountains of Osang and checked the troops, the number of soldiers decreased to 800. Chunghajin was a difficult place to accommodate 800 troops. Therefore, a military meeting of the Allied Forces was held to discuss future operational policies. Ko Bong-rim, commander of the 7th Regiment of the Guilimjawi Army, said that the situation is unfavorable to allies, so let's surrender to the Japanese and Japanese troops. "We attacked Ssangseong twice, but in the end, we couldn't protect it until the end and suffered a lot of damage. In this situation, it is difficult to maintain troops. Therefore, I think it would be better to surrender to the Japanese for a while, spend the winter, and rebuke in spring again." Then, Ji Cheong-cheon, the commander of the Korean Independence Army, strongly opposed the opinion that he should surrender. No matter how difficult the current situation is, there can't be a surrender to the enemy. We started the military to crush the Japanese conspiracy that invaded Manchuria. But why can the word surrender come out of your mouth easily?" "This northeastern region is a place where winter is long and summer is short. How do you spend the winter when you don't have enough clothing and equipment? It would be right to surrender and seek a future," Kim Chang-hwan, a deputy commander of the Korean Independence Army, lamented and told Gobongrim. "If you surrender to the Japanese military, you may not only be disarmed, but you may no longer have a chance to rise under the surveillance of the enemy. In addition, I heard that the Japanese army ignores the peaceful treaty of the Geneva negotiations and executes the captured enemy or surrendered enemy in their own way. There may be defeat in battle, but surrender is impossible." However, Ko Bong-rim did not break her stubbornness until the end. "Even in the old saying, "Even if it is Japan, how can you kill an enemy who surrendered recklessly?" I'm going to surrender to the Japanese army, so if you don't follow, I'd better be torn here." In the end, the Chinese Allied Forces decided to separate unless they narrowed their differences. General Ji Cheong-cheon insisted on a war of resolutions without breaking the will of the anti-Japanese war, but it was never easy for hundreds of soldiers to spend the winter. It is also a problem to select a garrison, but the winter without hundreds of food and winter uniforms could be a big blow to the Korean independent forces. And at that time, the Korean Independence Army was taking a kind of convenience-based method of organizing the military when necessary rather than always organizing the military in order to facilitate activities. This was also a measure that independent forces could take to cope with the Japanese military with insufficient weapons and supplies. In other words, when the situation was difficult, the troops were disbanded, and the independent army soldiers went to their respective locations, and when there was the next battle, they convened the troops again to organize them. Accordingly, the Korean Independence Army command decided to act separately, and the rest of the soldiers were temporarily disbanded to reorganize the military after the winter. However, despite the order to dissolve, about 40 young people who said they would share life and death followed the commanders of the Korean Independence Army, including Ji Cheong-cheon. Thus, General Ji Cheong-cheon led them and was stationed in rural areas with the help of Shim Gyeong-san, the head of the local self-defense team of Sahaja Oh Sang-hyeon. And I spent two months helping with farming. The Battle of Ssangseongbo can be seen as a result of the defeat of allies in that the Korean Independence Army and the Chinese Volunteer Army attacked and captured Ssangseong Fortress twice, but eventually retreated without being able to defend due to the enemy's aircraft bombing. However, it can be said that the ROK-China coalition's criminal record can never be disparaged in that it annihilated two regiments and five battalions of Japanese and Taiwanese troops in two bilateral attacks and seized large quantities of military supplies. Through this battle, the overall anti-Japanese spirit of the Korean Independence Army was raised, as well as the anti-Japanese consciousness of the entire Korean-Japanese army, and this news was known to Korea, raising national spirit. In particular, the news of this battle was also delivered to King Uichin, who was detained in Tokyo, and King Uichin, who was reported to Ahn Byeong-beom, a military officer, expressed great interest in the anti-Japanese war of the Korean independence army. In addition, the armed anti-Japanese struggle activities of the Korean Independence Army were also reported in China and published in each newspaper, raising the Chinese people's sense of war. On the other hand, the Japanese authorities regarded the existence of the Korean Independence Army as a thorn in their eyes and tried in various ways to arrest General Ji Cheong-cheon, the commander-in-chief. Japanese imperialism's actions to arrest and defection General Ji Cheong-cheon even reached his family. The Japanese imperialism used pro-Japanese group Miljeongs to monitor Jicheongcheon's family every day, and sometimes urged Jicheongcheon to return to the country by using a traitor on the independence movement line. They said that returning home guarantees wealth. However, General Ji Cheong-cheon's wife, Yoon Yong-ja, constantly prayed in her mind for the victory of the independent army, rejecting the persistent maneuvering of the Japanese authorities.
