Chapter 44: Tooth Extraction Tactics

"According to what Regiment Commander Zhang said," I pointed to the location of Tieyuan on the map and said to Commander Zheng and others: "The comrades of the Jiujun Army received an order from the boss to hold the Tieyuan area for 15 to 20 days. Even if the mortar army is wiped out, it will not hesitate, so at this time, Ji Jun's re-ambition should be in the Tieyuan area! ”

"Did you hear clearly?" Senior Commander Zheng frowned and asked, "This is not a trivial matter, and Commander Zhang has been talking with a fever, is this information accurate?" This is a matter of life and death for our entire division! ”

"This information should be reliable!" Commander Pang looked at the map for a while, nodded affirmatively and said: "Cheorwon, Jinhua and Pyongkang form an iron triangle, which is the necessary place for the Seoul-Pyongyang railway, and is also the 'intersection' of several important highways. Here the mountain peaks are towering, and the mountains are continuous. It is an important strategic 'crossing' pivot in central Korea. In terms of geographical location and topographical features. It's very suitable for our army to fight a blocking battle! So I think this information is credible. ”

"That's what I thought too!" Wu Chengde also added on the side: "After more than a month of fighting, the troops withdrawn from the front line are extremely tired from lack of food and ammunition, and they are not in a hurry to build any fortifications. After Cheorwon is the plain of ***. Once the U.S. forces break through Cheorwon, the U.S. mechanized units can drive straight in, which will not only cause a large number of casualties to our troops, but also allow the U.S. troops to enter the Pyongyang Plain and directly 'force' Pyongyang to the city. Then Pyongyang will fall into the hands of the enemy again! ”

"Hmm!" Hearing this, Division Commander Zheng couldn't help but be surprised: "If Pyongyang falls into the hands of the enemy again." That is quite unfavorable to our army politically, and it will also hit the confidence and morale of the volunteers and the people's army to a great extent. ”

Listening to the analysis of Regiment Commander Pang and others, I couldn't help but be stunned, I only learned the news from modern materials that the boss ordered the 3rd Army to defend Tieyuan, but I never thought about why I wanted to defend Tieyuan. At this time, when I heard them say this, it suddenly dawned on me that there were so many famous halls in Shoutieyuan. Whether politically or militarily, this Tieyuan is a must-defend place for our army, and it is not in vain that more than 20,000 heroes of the Wang army are buried here.

"Did Commander Zhang talk about what tactics the comrades of the Mortar Army used to defend?" Commander Pang then asked again, at this time, they were already convinced that the bow army was in Tieyuan.

"Like," I hesitated deliberately. Scratching his head and saying, "I didn't hear much clearly, it seemed like I was pulling out some kind of tooth." I'm a little weird, this fight is like tooth extraction."

"Tooth Extraction Tactics!" Head Pang and the others said in unison.

"Yes, yes, yes" is this tactic! I snickered in my heart, it was much easier to say it in this way than it was to say it directly. No, just now I was questioned and doubted by a while, and now I let them guess half of what I said, but they don't doubt half of it.

"But what is the "tooth extraction tactic, huh?" "I really don't know this time. Although I know that the soldiers of the Usutar Army used this tactic to block the US Eighth Group for 13 days, they have never studied what this tactic is all about, and now I am curious about what this tactic is called, which can actually use light weapons to block the attack of the superior forces and equipped with a large number of modern equipment.

"Thanks to you!" Commander Pang explained: "Your first troops to enter the DPRK fought a few beautiful battles. We have accumulated a lot of valuable experience in fighting the US military. Before entering the DPRK, we summed up a characteristic of the US military's combat methods. Then on the land battlefield, their main combat force will never give the flanks and rear to the opponent in the course of advancement. ”

"Hmmm! That's right! "Thinking of the previous battles and the 'fighting' of the US army, I think of the US army, once the flank and rear are ***, they always retreat at the first time, and the great retreat of the US army in the first and second battles is formed in this way. This is largely determined by their tactics of relying too much on logistics and supplies! Their modern equipment is all made of steel and machines, and if their logistics are threatened, their cars, tanks, and artillery will soon become a pile of scrap metal.

According to this characteristic of the US military, some people put forward the "tactic of pulling out broken teeth," and Regiment Commander Pang continued: "This tactic is to break down the entire army into several hundred tactical units. They have adhered to hundreds of tactical points that have been carefully screened out, and the troops and firepower allocated to each tactical point must turn this point into a sharp tooth.

When the Yankees want to pull out one of our teeth, they will be bitten off some flesh and blood by a few nearby teeth. And as soon as a tooth is crushed, the fighters who are forced to retreat will re-establish the formation. When the regiment was broken up, it was reduced to a battalion, and the battalion was reduced to a company, and then it became another sharp tooth in the rear

"Oh, I see!" I couldn't help but feel emotional.

After fighting for so long, I still know some basic military knowledge, and I know very well that the skills and tactics of the Puli army can not be used. Because the way of defense will make each point a place to disperse the troops. The more tactical points of defense, the more dispersed the forces become; The more dispersed the forces, the more difficult it is to unify command; The more difficult it is to unify command, the more necessary it is for grassroots soldiers to consciously and self-discipline themselves on the battlefield.

Just imagine, if the strength of an army is scattered over hundreds of tactical points, and the military headquarters is a god with three heads and six arms, there is no way to unify command. Therefore, such an arrangement, when under the impact of the enemy's group, can easily lose command and collapse on the whole line.

If the puppet army arranges its troops like this. As long as the volunteers concentrate their forces and rush to the tactical points in the front row, the puppet army is easy to panic and retreat in the case of a huge disparity in numbers......

But the same defense method, the same tactical points, in the hands of the volunteers, will not be dominoes, but will be sharp teeth that can bite the enemy's flesh and blood!

"This is a battle made of blood and 'meat'!" Political Commissar Wu couldn't help but sigh.

Head Pang and the others also nodded heavily. We all know that although this tactic is feasible, it will definitely cause very heavy casualties to the defending troops. Because every tooth broken by the US military. All mean that there are only a few "broken teeth." It can be removed, and it has to be held together with other "broken teeth" to form a new tooth waiting for the Yankees to knock it. So much so that the mortar army fought to the end, a whole army of nearly 30,000 people, and in the end only more than 3,000 people went back alive!

During the fourth mountain change, we exchanged space for time, but now, the comrades of the Usujun army are exchanging their lives for time!

"Not good!" At this time, Commander Pang suddenly frowned as if he had thought of something, pointed to the mountainous area around Tieyuan on the map and said: "The defensive front in this area is more than 20 kilometers, and the depth of defense is also more than 10 kilometers.

Although Captain Pang didn't pay attention to what he said, everyone understood what he meant.

The persuading division also hopes to be able to break through the encirclement and return to our army's position in one fell swoop! However, now that the Usui army has dispersed its troops to several hundred high grounds, another disadvantage of such a dispersed force is that it cannot launch a large-scale attack.

That is to say, Political Commissar Wu also frowned: "Even if we know that the comrades of the Usujun are in Tieyuan, we will not be able to get their support and response." We still have to fight alone, and there are a large number of American troops gathered in the Cheorwon area, and if we are not careful, we are likely to plunge headlong into their encirclement! ”

Originally, I just knew that there were soldiers of the Wang Army who were fighting the Yankees in Tieyuan, so I wanted to take advantage of the fact that they were defenseless to attack inside and outside, so that I could rescue the concave division and reduce the casualties of the Wang Army, which can be said to be a plan to kill two birds with one stone, but who would have thought that the Wang Army would use this method of dispersing its forces to block the attack of the US Eighth Army. It's good now, not only will it not work, but there is a danger of falling into the encirclement of the US military again."

Thinking of this, my whole body is cold like falling into an ice cellar, self-blame, guilt, and remorse, "I can't tell what it's like, in short, I'm hating myself, and I'm still missing it!"

"What do I mean" Senior Commander Zheng coughed lightly and said, "The superiors ordered us to break through from here, there must be a reason for them." Maybe. We are also part of the defense of Cheorwon. Haven't we all analyzed the netizens? Tieyuan is a 'gate' blocking the US Eighth Army, and its significance is not trivial in both politics and military, and in order to defend Tieyuan, the boss did not hesitate to fight out all the troops in the army. Therefore, I think that our Tian Shi may have been arranged by our superiors to be 'interspersed' to relieve the pressure on Tieyuan. I mean, resolutely obey the orders of the superiors and cooperate with the comrades of the Wangjun army to hold Cheorwon at all costs! ”

"I don't agree with that!" At this time, Political Commissar Wu seemed to be unable to bear it, he gritted his teeth and responded: "The superiors should also take into account that our division has reached the point of running out of ammunition and food, and what can we use to fight the Yankees without bullets?" What to do with Wangjun? I think we should think carefully, we are surrounded by enemies, and there are not many bullets, which determines that we only have one chance to fight, and if we are unsuccessful, we will soon be surrounded by enemies because of *** targets, and then we will soon be wiped out because of the lack of bullets! ”

"Yes, Master Zheng!" Commander Pang also persuaded on the side: "The most important thing now is that we don't have bullets,"

At this time, I suddenly remembered the more than 60 cars buried in Chizhongli a month ago that were captured from the hands of the US military, and I couldn't help but say with joy in my heart: "Division commander, political commissar, I, I have ***!" ”

"What?" Hearing this, Master Zheng and the others all looked at me in unison, their eyes full of disbelief. Read the latest Children's Day, wash the stream, dry the book, and shake the umbrella
