"Captain Cui!" After my encouragement, the chiefs of staff quickly gained momentum, and Chief of Staff Chiang first suggested: "The first thing we should do now is to send a reconnaissance company to find out the troop arrangements of the enemy and us. ”

"Yes!" Staff Officer Huang also agreed: "Although the comrades of the People's Army gave us a defense map, the comrades of the People's Army are obviously guarding us, and I don't think this deployment map is credible." If we want to figure it out, we'll have to do it ourselves! ”

"I'll arrange this after the meeting, and make sure to complete the task as quickly as possible!" Liu Shunyi immediately took over this task.

"I don't think I need to be so troublesome." My answer was a big surprise to Deputy Regiment Commander Liu and the staff officers, but in fact, the advice of the chiefs of staff was correct. If you don't know anything about the situation on the battlefield or even the deployment of your allies, then the battle will definitely be a confused battle. But the point is. I know the enemy's and the KPA's defenses, and even from where the enemy will attack and where he will hit.

Although I can also let Liu Shunyi arrange for the scouts to go to reconnoitre, I really don't want to pretend that I don't know this, and let the scouts risk their lives.

"That's right!" With a flash of inspiration in my head, I said to the chiefs of staff: "Just now those two majors thought that I didn't know Korean, and they let me know during the chat that the deployment map they gave was generally correct, but the secret places about them, such as artillery positions and headquarters, have been erased, and we are not going to attack the People's Army, so we need to know what these secret places are doing?" ”

"That's what I said!" Chief of Staff Jiang still said with some concerns: "But we don't even know who our opponents are, and we have only heard of their location, so I think it is better to reconnoiter by ourselves!" ”

"I've heard it all!" I laughed and said, "While the two majors were chatting at the map, I sat next to me and listened, intentionally or unintentionally. Well, our frontal enemies are the 7th, 5th, 8th, 15th, and Capital Divisions of the puppet army. The location is here, this, and this

I pointed to a few on the map, and the location was really not much different from the location given by the People's Army. In fact, there is no need for the People's Army to lie to us.

"Although they have five divisions, their total strength is only about three divisions." I continued: "If the comrades still don't believe much, they can find two random places to reconnoiter and verify, and there is no need for the soldiers to risk their lives!" ”

"It's better to verify and rest assured!" Chief of Staff Chiang nodded in agreement.

Only then did I realize that Chief of Staff Chiang was a very careful, conservative man, and not very willing to trust others. For example, I said so this time, but he still insisted on scouting and seeing is believing.

"I'll arrange the verification! Guaranteed that nothing will go wrong. "This kind of thing naturally has to be done by Deputy Head Liu.

"Hmmm! It's good to verify it! I nodded: "But if the war really develops as we think, the Yankees really regard the KPA's defense line as a "soft underbelly." Then they will never attack with only three divisions of the puppet army. At the same time, they also concealed the strength of the KPA, and it was not as they claimed. There are five divisions on the first line and two divisions on the second line, but six divisions on the first line and three divisions on the second line! Presumably they erased some classified locations from the map, and the number of troops was a little less! ”

"These comrades of the People's Army, how did they do it!" Hearing this, Chief of Staff Huang Xianhua couldn't help but throw the cigarette in his mouth to the ground; Then he crushed it twice with his toes, and cried out in a rough voice: "And it is said that there will be no barrier between each other to fight together." There is such a big discrepancy in the information we have given! It is said that there are five divisions against five divisions, but the real situation is six divisions against three divisions, and if we don't know these situations, then the battle plan will be different! ”

"So we're going to verify it!" Chief of Staff Chiang was becoming more and more uneasy.

"Validation, of course, is to be verified!" I realized that it would be impossible not to send scouts to reconnoiter now, so I could only follow their words and say to Deputy Regiment Commander Liu: "But let the soldiers pay attention to safety, and just take a few prisoners and come back to ask for a few confessions." ”

"Yes!" Deputy Head Liu responded.

"Plus!" After a pause, I continued: "I don't know if the comrades thought of it? Once the U.S. military regards the KPA's defense line as the focus of the attack, it will be impossible for them to only let the puppet army attack, but will invest the troops of the U.S. army here, and there will naturally be no shortage of aircraft, tanks, and artillery, so our opponent is not just a puppet army, but a 'mixed' force of the U.S. army and the puppet army! ”

"Agreed!"

"Same as true!"

Several chiefs of staff nodded in agreement, and even Liu Shunyi couldn't stop nodding.

"If I were the U.S. military!" I also saved myself from beating around the bush, and simply said again in a hypothetical way the tactics that the enemy would use in the future: "I will attack the junction between the KPA corps." The total strength of the KPA is said to be six divisions. There are more than five divisions of the United ***, but these six divisions of the KPA belong to the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Army Corps. The communications equipment of the People's Army is also similar to ours, it is very backward, and there are many problems in the connection between the various corps, and it is very easy for the US military to take advantage of the loopholes and let the tank units penetrate and 'insert' them! ”

Hearing this, the staff officers looked at me stunned, and after a long time of currying favor with Chief of Staff Chiang, he nodded and said that he was gone. This is what the U.S. military did during the five battles, using tank units to penetrate into the joints of our army's corps to carry out division and encirclement! The Yankees must have done it again this time! ”

Chief of Staff Li even made this suggestion: "Should we inform the comrades of the People's Army?" Give them a heads-up? ”

But it was soon opposed by others. Especially Chief of Staff Huang Xianhua, he raised his head with a big grin and said, "Let's just assume this." Now the two sides are still negotiating! Let's go and tell them that the U.S. military will attack like this, can they believe it? ”

Deputy Regiment Commander Liu also spoke out against it: "All our plans are based on the assumption that the enemy will attack, and whether the enemy will attack is still a question, I don't think it is appropriate to inform the comrades of the People's Army now!" ”

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this, in fact, I informed the friendly enemy of the possible position from which they could attack and let them prepare early, so what is not to do. The reason why the fighters unanimously oppose it is actually because they have a 'selfish' heart, and they don't want the People's Army to resist the attack of the joint army because they know these circumstances, otherwise what will we fight!

But to be honest, I don't want to inform the KPA in advance, in fact, even if I say that those KPA officers don't necessarily take it seriously!

"There's another question!" After thinking about it, I continued: "Every time the U.S. military goes to war. The first thing to do is to use their air superiority to attack our logistical supply lines, plus now that North Korea has entered the rainy season, it will rain after a while. It's going to be difficult for us to transport food and ***. We have to take advantage of the negotiation period to stock up on a batch of grain and ***. Otherwise, there will be a repeat of the situation where the soldiers ran out of food and ammunition in the previous battles! ”

Not to mention the fact that in this battle in history, our army's logistical problems were far more serious than I had said, and the US planes launched an aerial "strangulation war" against our army's logistical supply lines, and the continuous heavy rain also caused the northern part of Korea to suffer floods that were rare in a century, so that the supply of front-line soldiers was almost in a state of interruption. Now that the enemy's "air strangulation battle" has not yet begun, and the heavy rain has not yet come, try to stock up on some food, ***!

"What's wrong?" After a long while, when I saw that several chiefs of staff were all looking at me and I looking at you, I couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Is there any difficulty?" ”

"No difficulty!" Deputy Regiment Commander Liu immediately responded: "After the meeting, I immediately contacted my superiors and asked them to immediately send us *** and food to increase our army's reserves!" ”

"Then the Chief of Staff

"No, there is no difficulty!" Jiang 'Chun' shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Captain Cui! I think I'm more thoughtful and comprehensive, but compared to you, it's still a big deal! This battle situation makes you analyze it as if you have fought this battle! ”

Huang Xianhua pretended to be a little dissatisfied and said: "People say that three stinkers are worthy of one Zhuge Liang, but now it seems that our three stinkers are not as good as you as a head of Cui!" ”

"That's it!" Staff Officer Li also agreed: "We also sharpened our heads and drilled here, we wanted to make a small plan for Commander Cui, but I didn't expect it to be like this now, with Commander Cui, we won't need us at all!" We're all idle eaters! ”

The three staff officers said everything to me, and I was a little embarrassed to only praise them. They don't know. But I know in my heart that this is my ingenuity, and it is not all because I have known that this battle has developed in history for a long time, so it is not too easy to draw these conclusions.

At the same time, I also found a problem, I "speculated" everything in this way. Even if they had reasonably guessed the main position of the enemy's attack, and even the strategies and tactics they would use, it would really be like what Staff Officer Li said, and the chiefs of staff of them felt that they were idlers. "You can't say that!" Unexpectedly, at this time, Deputy Head Liu helped me out of the siege, and he served each of us a glass of water and said: "Isn't there a saying that a wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts?" Commander Cui's awesome network has only seen it, but it is difficult to guarantee that he will not make mistakes in the future, so we need to be reminded and corrected by the staff officers! ”

"That's right, that's right!" I hurriedly pushed the boat down the river and said: "My Cui family is still inexperienced, and it is inevitable that there will be times when I go off the rails and make mistakes, and then I will have more guidance from all the comrades!" ”

"Captain Cui is right!" Deputy Regiment Commander Liu added a sentence at the end: "For example, I drove a car to chase those comrades of the People's Army this morning,"

There was a coax, and everyone couldn't help laughing, only I, the head of the regiment, was so embarrassed that I didn't know what to say.

After the meeting, Regiment Leader Liu immediately began to reconnoiter and contact the higher-ups, and the higher-level departments also attached great importance to this issue. The experience of the first five campaigns also tells us. After every war, the U.S. military will blockade our logistical supply lines, and in the later stages of every war, the volunteers will always run out of food and ammunition, so my worries and suggestions are also very reasonable. In addition, the headquarters also attaches great importance to this task, so it immediately promised to provide us with sixty trucks of *** and ten trucks of food, and at the same time, Commander Pang also promised to raise thirty trucks of sorghum and fried noodles for us, plus thousands of sets of military uniforms and marching quilts in case we need it from time to time.

Sorghum, fried noodles, military uniforms, and marching quilts. It is not easy for soldiers who are in a difficult stage to get these, I know these things, all of them are different body clams, and the hearts of the people who are thrifty and eat are put together, which can't help but make me think about the right when I leave! "Even if the whole army of our army is hungry, let you be fed!"

But then again, at this time, the reason why the Corps Headquarters and Division Commander Pang gave such a large amount of money was to give dozens of cars, and part of the reason was because our current location was north of the 38th parallel.

Not to mention the short supply line north of the 38th parallel. There are also a small number of anti-aircraft artillery regiments and MiG fighters to protect them. Although it is not yet able to fully control the entire supply line, it can still put some pressure and threats on the US military. In addition, it is just the beginning of the negotiations, and there is no large-scale action on both sides, and the US military plane has disappeared without a trace.

This gave the volunteers a good opportunity to replenish food and make up for it, so as soon as I opened my mouth now, the Corps Headquarters and Division Commander Pang readily agreed. If this was in the first five battles, if I asked the headquarters for dozens of cars, I would definitely be scolded: "You are crazy!" You just want a division of *** with a lion's mouth, and other troops have reached a situation where they have no food and no ammunition, and you still need to reserve? ”

This is how the Korean battlefield was like. The more you go to the battle, it looks like you have won the battle, but there is a problem with the supply immediately, there is nothing to eat and no bullets to fight, and it is bitter! After being beaten back by the enemy and returning to the north of the 38th parallel, it looked like a defeat in the battle, but the pressure on supplies was not so great. I also had food and bullets, and it was easier to fight.

Of course, the current flood and the enemy's air "strangulation battle" cannot be counted, because the flood has blocked the way and highways, and the "strangulation war" has blocked the railway, so the supply of the volunteer troops has been interrupted for almost half a month."

The guns are ringing, and the drums of war are dying!

It was just as I imagined. Since the beginning of the armistice talks, the situation on the battlefield has tended to ease up. Not only did we on the second line not fight, but even the People's Army on the front line was idle. With the exception of the occasional reconnaissance activity by a few small units, there were few clashes, and a brief period of peace finally ushered in on the battlefield.

Some soldiers then have a kind of doubt in their hearts: Will this be the end of the war?

On the one hand, they hope that the war is over and they will go home to see their relatives, but on the other hand, they really do not want to go back to see their fathers and fellow villagers when they have not yet turned over after the "lost battle."

However, they are also worthy of being a 'fine' selected soldier in the army, and they want to think about it in their heads. The work at hand has not been left behind. This is not? It took only a few days to dig these highlands like a cake hollowed out by insects, and there were tunnels everywhere.

So much so that the Corps Headquarters and Division Commander Pang's *** and supplies arrived online, and they were stuffed into the tunnel by us and disappeared. But this time, I learned from the 'Mao' I taught when I was defending in Mapingli last time. No longer concentrate *** on one high ground for storage. Instead, they are scattered to each high ground and stored separately. And that's not all. Also considering that the flood situation will cause the grain to be 'damp', use logs to build a suspended shelf in the tunnel, and then wrap it with ponchos, canvases, etc. to prevent 'moisture' and moisture. But I know it's not enough. The Battle of Mapingli made me clearly aware of the weakness of the anti-slope tunnel: once our army is surrounded and the enemy bypasses our defensive line, the anti-slope can easily be turned into a positive slope.

From what I know. In this battle, the People's Army was caught off guard by the US army because it was not prepared, and it retreated eight kilometers as soon as it retreated, and it was not until the friendly and neighboring units of the Volunteer Army sent reinforcements that it held its position. And we are now only five kilometers from the front line, which means that our positions are likely to fall into the enemy's encirclement."

For this reason, I pondered for several days, and finally came up with a not very mature solution: open two inclined planes and build tunnel fortifications on both inclined planes. In this way, the anticline and the positive incline can be converted into each other, and once the anticline becomes a positive incline, the fighters can move through the pit to the other side to continue the battle. It is even possible to build fire directly in the tunnel to kill and injure the enemy, just like in the Mapingli blockade, those wounded soldiers piled up several sandbags in the tunnel and a machine gun was 'raised', turning a tunnel mouth into one. Fantastic bunker like.

Of course, this method still has to be tested on the battlefield.

"Hey, Major Ann! What are these Chinese digging so many 'holes' for? ”

I watched from the position as the soldiers built the tunnel. The voice of Li Xianhao came from beside him. They really thought that none of us could understand Korean, so they spoke arrogantly!

"I don't know." Major An shook his head suspiciously: "Aren't they killing themselves?" Hiding in such a mountain 'hole', won't the enemy come up and use fire to destroy the 'hole' mouth? ”

"Hmph, what kind of battle are they going to fight?" Major Kim said disdainfully: "I think this is the habit they brought about as guerrillas, burrowing in the mountain 'hole' to be a mouse!" ”

The three of them laughed very insolently, and I was so angry that I was about to go up and sneer at them, but when I thought that if I let them know that I knew Korean, I would never hear anything again, so I put up with it. I just scolded in my heart: Ya, now you still look down on this tactic, and in modern times, decades later, you are using this tactic all over the country!
