Chapter 380: Attack!

The Volunteer Army Command is indeed going to do it!

After Song Tianming transported four trains equipped with logistical materials to the front line, the front-line troops of the Volunteer Army, which had been supplied with supplies, began to retreat in an orderly manner, and at the same time, the three field corps transferred from China and the East China Corps, which had completed recuperation, had also been deployed in place.

As a result, the Volunteer Army Command decided to immediately launch the fifth campaign aimed at preventing the US troops from carrying out the second Inchon landing at the same time as ending the fourth campaign on April 21!

To this end, the Volunteer Army Headquarters concentrated three corps with nearly 200,000 men, and with the cooperation of the two corps of the Korean People's Army, launched an attack on the US forces south of the 38th parallel, with the intention of capturing Seoul and stabilizing the front in the area south of Seoul, thus further reducing the control scope of the UN forces, breaking the illusion of US troops going north, and at the same time taking the initiative for the upcoming Korean armistice talks.

The central authorities also attached great importance to the Fifth Campaign, not only strengthening the equipment of the three artillery divisions originally deployed in the DPRK, but also dispatching to the DPRK two "Katyusha" rocket artillery regiments that had just formed their initial combat capability.

In this way, the artillery units of the Volunteer Army on the front line obtained more than 400 large-caliber guns, and all of them were brand-new Soviet-style artillery, and together with the captured more than 80 American-made 105mm and 155mm guns, the number of large-caliber artillery pieces used by the entire Volunteer Army for the Fifth Battle was close to 500.

In addition, two armored regiments equipped with T-34\85 tanks were also sent to the front line to support offensive operations.

All in all, the Volunteer Army far surpassed the previous four campaigns in terms of personnel, equipment, and firepower, and reached the largest scale since the entry into the Korean War.

……

At 2:49 a.m., with the order of the volunteers, the large-caliber artillery of the volunteers distributed on the entire front of the Korean Peninsula let out an earth-shattering roar, and thousands of shells drew a dazzling band of light in the night sky, smashing their heads and faces into the defense line of the United Nations army, which had already been marked.

For a while, the earth shook, and the smoke of gunpowder rose everywhere!

Before the South Korean troops at the forefront could react, they were blown up on their backs by the dense artillery fire, and they could only hide in the semi-permanent fortifications that were shallow and deep, holding a radio and constantly calling for help from the American troops behind them in broken English.

However, at this time, the U.S. army was not comfortable, they fired a beautiful return pistol in the fourth battle, and even almost cut off the retreating volunteers, but in the face of the front-line troops of the volunteers with rich combat experience and flexible tactics, the U.S. troops with strong firepower did not get much benefit, but they were disgraced and exhausted under the layers of resistance from the volunteers!

finally suffered until the end of the fourth battle, and they could rest for a while, but they didn't expect that the Chinese army on the opposite side would not give them a chance to breathe at all, and launched a larger offensive again, which made those old American soldiers how could they stand it?

Not to mention rescuing those South Korean troops who are already cannon fodder, even if their own brothers are trapped on the front line, they can at most pray to God, and then turn their heads and slip away, laughing, and stumbling with the resurrected Chinese army, then it is really a head caught by the door, or it is better to avoid the limelight.

As a result, the U.S. military cheered at the South Korean troops on the front line on the radio, shouting to be stable; While hitting the packing box, one foot of the accelerator rushed towards the south of the 38th parallel......

Without the support of the U.S. military, the ROK army's combat effectiveness alone would not last long, and the elite ROK troops could still wait until the soldiers of the Sino-Korean coalition army rushed up, fired two shots, and then ran or surrendered.

Not long after the fire preparation of the Volunteer Army began, the almost troops had already run away without a trace, and when the commanders and fighters of the Volunteer Army rushed over, they spread like an armed parade, and chased straight after the retreating American troops along the battered defense line of the South Korean army......

This time it is the turn of the US army to go crazy, although they know that the cannon fodder of the South Korean army is scum, but how can they want to be scum to this extent, originally they still expected the South Korean army to hold the front for one or two hours, but now they can only listen to a few artillery shots and abandon the position, so that the volunteer army can be said to be unimpeded, let alone one or two hours, not even one or two minutes.

The attack force of the Volunteer Army, which had been driving straight in, quickly bit the backward American troops, and if this continued, the attack tide of the Volunteer Army would sooner or later overwhelm the entire American army.

In desperation, the U.S. military scolded the South Korean army, a pig teammate, and once again threw the affiliated allies out one by one to take the blame for themselves, so the Turkish brigade was photographed on the Eastern Front retarding the offensive of the volunteers; Australian and Canadian troops were deployed in the central region to intervene.

Even a combat-neutral force like the Philippines was captured by the U.S. military to fill the holes in the defense line created by the South Korean army.

After a series of troop deployments and fierce grasping of the strong men, the battered defense line finally became complete again, but the U.S. military also knew in their hearts that such a patchwork defense line was still not enough in front of the Chinese army, so the U.S. military had to send his last killer weapon and their most trusted ally, the British 7th Brigade to the Gwangpyeong-dong area, intending to resist the footsteps of the volunteers going south to Seoul!

On the other hand, the main attack on Gwangpyeong-dong on the side of the Volunteer Army, although it was a certain main division that had just entered Korea, their spearhead was the heavy firepower company reinforced by the Volunteer Army Headquarters in this direction.

However, the task of attacking Gwangpyeong-dong did not fall on a certain main division and heavy fire company, but was robbed by the 1st Army of the Korean People's Army, which claimed that the Koreans wanted to use their own strength to open the road to Seoul.

By the afternoon, a heavy artillery battalion and a rocket artillery company of the "Katyusha" to support the attack of the First Army Corps were ready.

With the order of the North Korean waver, the shells rained down on the British positions in the Gwangpyeong-dong area, looking at the Gwangpyeong-dong in the telescope, which was a sea of fire, the North Korean commander was very proud, and immediately picked up the phone to connect with the seventh battalion in charge of the attack mission:

"Park Bong-young, I'll give you an hour, if you can't take Gwangpyeong-dong, you don't have to come back to see me!"

"Yes!"

Park Bong-young answered loudly on the phone, and immediately looked at Tang Jixian not far away proudly, and shouted quite confidently: "Chinese comrades, you take a rest first, and in less than an hour, we will tear apart the defense line of South Korea!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Tang Jixian to reply, he raised the pistol he was wearing and shouted at the officers and soldiers of the 7th North Korean Battalion behind him: "Comrades, follow me, kill all the South Koreans on the opposite side, and attack ~~~"

"Offense~~~"

The North Korean soldiers roared in unison, and then followed Park Bong-young towards the Gwangpyeong-dong position......
