Magnificent absurdity wishes everyone a happy new year!! Don't say anything, we just drink the stomach ache and keep changing, which is the most haode tribute to everyone!
[345] Heavy casualties were deployed, and the general attack was carried out in detail and maps
The Korean Peninsula in June.
In the face of the continuous offensive of the KPA on the eastern and western fronts, General Dean was at a loss, and the eastern front was just gone, and the eastern front was high and the mountains and rivers were far away, and the eastern front was long and the ditches were long, and the KPA offensive was mainly aimed at the port. However, the war on the Western Front is indeed a matter of life and death, and if the Jinjiang Daejeon line is lost, then the US military does not know where it should be garrisoned below, is it ...... Pusan?
Sitting at the headquarters of the 24th Division in Daejeon, William Dean listened with diseasy attention as the KPA fought from dark to dawn as the guns rang out one after another throughout the night. The noise was so noisy that Major General Dean had no intention of sleeping at all.
"Okay."
Major General Dean finally made up his mind:
"Lieutenant Colonel Hunter, I order you to lead the 13th Combat Engineer Battalion to blast the Jinnan Bridge in Dapingli and the railway bridge in Xincun, and your engineers should install explosives on all other bridges on the Jinjiang River at the same time, send troops to garrison, wait for the command command, and be ready to blast at any time."
Lieutenant Colonel Hunt's shirt was dirty, and his boots had not been wiped for days, and he casually brushed the golden curls that had been greasy on his forehead with his left hand, threw away his cigarette with his right hand, and gave a military salute.
"Yes, General." Lieutenant Colonel Hunt replied.
Major General William Dean watched Lieutenant Colonel Hunt leave, and thought bitterly, I hope this will buy him new time to be armed.
With the orders of Major General Dean one after another, the three companies that had just completed the reorganization in Daejeon to make up for the casualties lost in the previous battles were deployed along the river bank near Gongju with the "24th Infantry Regiment, the most elite of the 19th Division", to prevent the KPA from smuggling and attacking from here.
The 63rd Field Artillery Battalion was deployed in the three bridges behind Gongju, and completely controlled the bow-shaped bank of the Geumgang River in front of it, which was easy to cross, under its own firepower, and if the KPA dared to cross the river from here, it would encounter heavy artillery fire and suffer heavy casualties.
The 1st Reconnaissance Battalion of the Division was arranged as a mobile reserve, which was on standby in the rear to reinforce the forward front.
The 34th Regiment was organized into a formation to build a defensive line in Fengguli, and a reconnaissance company and a reconnaissance platoon were arranged on each flank of the defensive line, constantly advancing to reconnoiter the enemy's situation. It will also be in contact with the Eighth Army's land-based combat aviation brigade at any time to carry out air strikes and extended mobile defense against the KPA coming from this route.
Seeing that the textbook defense was being established again, Major General Dean's heart was a little relieved, and he walked out of the headquarters converted from the school building of Rongbokdong Elementary School in Daejeon City, glanced at the rising sun in the east, and said to himself: "This time, we will definitely be able to completely block these supply-side madmen from the north on the Jinjiang River."
Indeed, the Daejeon defense line is surrounded by mountains on three sides, east and west, and there is a natural danger of the Geumgang River in the north, and with the main force of the US army such as the 24th Division, no one will believe anyone who says that the KPA can take Daejeon at this time.
However, the Battle of Daejeon was the only large-scale classic battle that the People's Army won in the southward march that could be included in the lesson plans of military academies of various countries.
At this time, the People's Army had already had a countermeasure in the face of Major General Dean's deployment.
It all started from the day the Korean War broke out.
On the day of the outbreak of the war, Zou Dapeng, director of the General Intelligence Bureau of the Government Council of New China, immediately informed the Soviet Union: "Our intelligence people have begun to enter the DPRK!" ”
The Soviet Union agreed, after all, this kind of fighting that happened at the doorstep, the more onlookers on their own side were arranged, the better.
Wu Ruilin, commander of our 42nd Army, was ordered to lead two reconnaissance staff officers, disguised as train drivers, and immediately rushed to the front line. In addition, a number of comrades entered the DPRK in batches to survey the route and terrain.
The reason why he has to send investigators to the court again and again is mainly because, after all, what Xiaoqiang brought back was a map of later generations, and after sixty years, many terrains have changed. If you don't reconfirm, it's absolutely impossible, and war can't be sloppy.
When Comrade Kim Il-sung received information from the DPRK Ministry of Internal Affairs that Chinese comrades were conducting reconnaissance at the front, he immediately recognized the leader of the investigator as Comrade Wu Ruilin based on the verbal description of the investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the photographs taken secretly by them.
Jin Richeng scratched his head and thought for a while: "That seems to be my old friend Wu Ruilin, this guy didn't tell me when he came." Forget it, don't disturb them, let them go. When you go back and wait for them to leave, remember to ask them if there is any information that can be shared. ”
I didn't think that this question would come out with a big fruit.
……………………
Comrade Kim Il-sung was stunned when he faced the detailed defense map of the US military provided by Comrade Wu Ruilin.
"This ...... This is detailed to the strength of the infantry squad, the small positions of two or three mortars, the deployment map where the heavy machine gun positions are crossed, where did the Chinese comrades get it! Wu Ruilin, this old fellow, I used to deal with him a lot, but I haven't heard that his detection ability is so strong? ”
This information in the hands of Comrade Wu Ruilin was issued on the basis of the declassified files of the US military in later generations, and considering the flapping of the butterfly's wings, the new Chinese side did not dare to guarantee how accurate this thing could be.
Therefore, New China did not dare to hand over this inaccurate information to the People's Army, for fear of misleading.
However, this time, Comrade Wu Ruilin was ordered to go to the DPRK, and one of his tasks was to confirm as much as possible whether this historical defense map was consistent with the current war situation, and if so, what was the degree of agreement! This is of great significance to our army's judgment of the trend of the war situation.
After several reconnaissance of the front line, General Wu could not judge how much the information was consistent, and in desperation, he could only make a subjective judgment based on what he observed.
Now, Comrade Kim Il-sung's initiative to contact him has suddenly activated the side quest attached to this reconnaissance jihua.
Comrades from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPRK continued to report to Kim Il-sung: "U Seo-rim hinted to us that it seems that they have high-ranking spies in the south. What's even more shocking is that we judge that this spy is a high-ranking general in the US military! Comrade Wu Ruilin's entry into the DPRK this time is to connect with the other side and personally obtain this defense map from the other side! However, Comrade Wu Ruilin also said that it is not yet possible to judge the authenticity of this defense map. For fear of misleading our military deployment, it was not provided to us. ”
Kim Il Cheng patted his thigh and scolded: "Ahh......h This Wu Ruilin! Do you want me to die if I look at it? Well! Will it die! Our combat staff officers are not fools, whether it is true or not, we have front-line combatants who can assist in judging whether it is true or not! If I hadn't asked him this time, wouldn't he have slipped back home with the information! Ahh......h The next time we meet, I'll have to drink him to death! ”
As a result, Comrade Kim Il Sung and the operational staff officers of the People's Army immediately studied this defense map overnight, and after communicating with the front-line reconnaissance personnel and combat units, they finally proved that this defense map was 100 percent consistent on the whole! There are some discrepancies in the details, but there are no big problems. It is definitely top-secret intelligence that only high-ranking officers in the US military can access!
Comrade Kim Il-sung's hand on the defense map trembled slightly, and as the supreme commander of the People's Army, he understood the value of this defense map in the face of the general attack on crossing the river in the Daejeon Campaign, which was about to start!
He couldn't help but scold in the authentic Northeast vernacular: "Mom, pull a!" ”
Cui Yongjian, deputy commander of the People's Army beside him, was also shocked and moved after the comparison conclusion of the staff headquarters: "This intelligence officer of the Chinese comrades is at least the operational staff officer of the command of the Eighth Army of the US Army!" With such a high-level spy, it is no wonder that General Wu Ruilin personally went south to connect! The Chinese comrades are so powerful that they actually put their hands directly into the core of the Eighth Army! With such spy personnel, why worry about not winning! ”
Kim Il Sung swallowed his saliva, restrained the excitement in his heart, and said: "I order that the operational command at all levels immediately adjust the deployment of our troops for the Daejeon Campaign in accordance with this deployment map!"
That's great! That's great! haha, no wonder Wu Ruilin is like a miser, I don't ask him if he wants him and he won't give it to me! It turned out to be such top-secret information! Now, as long as we make targeted deployments, in this way, we can sacrifice many less comrades! ”
Kim Il Cheng became excited, and he continued: "Colonel Choi Hao! You brought the comrades of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to tell Wu Ruilin that we are very grateful to the Chinese comrades for their selfless sharing of this information! Please don't have any worries in the future, whether it's true or not, and give us a copy as soon as they get the information of the US military! Also, you told Wu Ruilin that I had a great favor from him, and when the war is over, I will definitely award him the Order of the People's Hero of the DPRK in Seoul! In addition, in the future, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also hand over a copy of the list of prisoners of our US military officers, and the provincial government will kill its own people when the time comes. ”
So, when Xiaoqiang was drunk on the 18th, the general offensive of the people's Daejeon campaign was launched.
In order to avoid the recent non-stop bombing by US planes day and night, the KPA first concentrated its artillery fire at night and launched a large-scale artillery bombardment on the Gongju front. After that, the KPA began to pretend to launch a large-scale night crossing in Gongju. Several demonstrative river crossings during the day were organized to attract the attention of the enemy.
Taking into account the deployment position of the 63rd Field Artillery Battalion of the US Army, the KPA adopted the tactics of avoiding the area covered by artillery fire, detecting the blind spots of enemy troops on both flanks, and carrying out night forced crossings.
After crossing the river, the KPA frantically launched a ferocious flank attack on the demarcated defense area of the US army, and detoured to the rear of the US position, launching a flank assault.
Within three hours, the "most elite 19th Infantry Regiment" of the US 24th Division suffered casualties and captured a total of more than 1,700 people, while the 34th Infantry Regiment, carefully deployed by Major General Dean, was not moved by the KPA at all.
Faced with such a devastating battle report, Major General William Dean was stunned.
