From the formulation of the plan to the bombing by a large group of US planes, from the assault of the 346th Regiment to the forced crossing of the Imjin River, from the beachhead to the parliamentary government, and from the long-distance attack to the defeat of a battalion of the British army, the task of the small detachment has only now been completely accomplished.

"Li Jia, send a report to the headquarters, our department has occupied and controlled the area of the government, and has seized a large amount of the enemy's food and ammunition, the specific amount is being counted, please send troops to receive it as soon as possible."

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, this area is the most chaotic area of the enemy's fighting, the two sides are staggered, the small detachment is only more than 200 people, and it is impossible to deal with a large number of enemies, so it is necessary to ask the headquarters to send effective troops to receive it quickly, this is the best strategy.

The detachment should not be regarded as small, but it has its own means of communication, its own radio station, its own special telegraph personnel, and it can also have direct contact with the headquarters; this may be the only difference between the detachment and other combat units, and it is also a treatment of Vice Minister Li as the leader!!

In order to prevent the radio personnel and passwords from falling into the hands of the other side, small units are not allowed to bring radio stations and newspaper personnel when they go out; this is the discipline of the troops, and Li Yong, the deputy director of the Volunteer Army Headquarters, can only set off with the radio station with the special approval of the chief.

January 1, 1951, New Year's Day, noon on the second day of the start of the three campaigns, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army.

New Year’s Day? It is a day when people all over the world rest, but there is no such habit in the volunteer army, and people are still as busy as they always want.

According to the words of Deputy Commander Han Xianchu, the immortals of foreigners and we Chinese can't understand that foreigners' festivals have a bullshit relationship with us Chinese?

The staff next to Deputy Commander Han replied: "It has nothing to do with bullshit." ”

A young confidential officer walked in briskly. The young man looked around and saw that several of the chiefs were there. He stood upright, and took out a piece of paper from the Wen Jiàn clip in his hand and said softly, "Vice Minister Li is in a hurry." ”

Vice Minister Li? There was only one person who was called Vice Minister Li in front of the head of the Volunteer Army Headquarters.

Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi took a few steps forward. Regardless of the stipulation that telegrams should be read by the supreme commander first, they snatched them from the hands of confidential personnel.

Mr. Peng, who was standing in front of the map, smiled inadvertently, and muttered softly: "This big man is really in a hurry." ”

After reading the telegram at a glance, Deputy Commander Hong's eyes brightened the more he looked at it, and then he shouted in a loud voice: "Boss, boss, and a few of you, come and have a look, this is his mother's good news." ”

Everyone at the headquarters was there except for a deputy commander, Deng Hua. Deputy Commander Deng went to the front line to directly direct the battle, so he is not at the headquarters now.

A short telegram was read by several chiefs, and it was indeed good news, very exciting.

Since the beginning of the three campaigns, the US Far East Air Force and Naval Air Force have launched an unprecedented bombardment of the front and logistical supply lines of the Volunteer Army.

The US military's unscrupulous bombing, coupled with bad weather and road conditions, brought great trouble to the front-line troops, and hundreds of kilometers of transportation lines were bombed and full of holes.

The troops that broke through the Volunteer Army advanced at a very fast pace, advancing at a rate of attack of more than 30 kilometers per day and night. However, the logistics to support them were never able to keep up, and the battle began to show fatigue.

The weak logistics made the commanders at all levels anxious, and it is no wonder that Deputy Commander Hong is so excited, as the logistics minister of the Volunteer Army. The pressure on his shoulders was very great, and he was of course very happy to hear that Li Yong and the soldiers of the squad had captured two divisions of American equipment.

"Boss, our little Li Yong is really not simple. The supplies of two American divisions are all good stuff. All of them are stationed in the parliament-government-government, saving hundreds of kilometers of long-distance transportation. It can solve the urgent need. ”

The subordinates of the Yan family were praised, of course Mr. Peng was very happy, and the boss replied with a smile: "This little guy does have a set, when we were in the Great Northwest, our Northwest Field Army counted his troops as the best to eat and wear, by the way, and the equipment, it is also the best, it is very enviable, but, big man Hong, you can't be happy too early, the supply of the two US military divisions is far from nothing." ”

Why does Peng Lao always say this? According to the calculation of more than 10,000 people in an ordinary infantry division of the US army, the scale of two divisions is between 20,000 and 30,000 people, and in the three battles, the number of attack troops invested by the volunteers reached more than 300,000, not counting the number of the Korean People's Army, and the total strength of the Sino-Korean coalition army is as high as more than 400,000, and the consumption of every hour and every day is an astonishing number.

Not to mention the consumption of ammunition and food in the battle, even the common supply of fresh water is a head-scratching problem, and the Chinese soldiers who have just come into contact with modern warfare are facing a huge new difficulty.

Chief of Staff Xie Fang, who does not often speak, used to be the deputy commander of the 40th Army, a senior general of the People's Liberation Army who was born in Japan, and an old partner of Deputy Commander Han Xianchu.

"Our army broke through the enemy's five lines of defense in one fell swoop, and the forward has been inserted near the 37th parallel, but the enemy's speed of escape is also very fast, and the US army abandoned the South Korean army on the front line and fled backwards with cars as vehicles, Deputy Commander Hong, our ammunition and food can hold out for a few days."

As soon as the campaign began, the chief of staff in charge of operations began to inquire about how many days the food and ammunition could last, which shows the great impact of logistics on the front-line combat units.

Deputy Commander Hong Xuezhi, who was excited on his face, replied: "The individual soldiers carried three days' worth of dry food and ammunition, and the logistics system also prepared three days' supplies, so it would be no problem to fight for six or seven days together." ”

The infantry themselves carry three days of dry rations, and the logistics prepare for another three days, and collect a little from the enemy's corpse during the battle, and seven days is already the limit of the troops' persistence in fighting.

If Li Yong heard the conversation of several leaders at the headquarters, he would be shocked, and the intensity of the Volunteers' attacks could only last for seven days, which was a dream-like time, and was constrained by logistical capabilities, from the beginning of one campaign to three battles, the time of each attack of the Volunteers was the same.

After Li Yongzhi entered the DPRK, he led the detachment to work day and night, repairing hidden points and roads, and confronting the enemy's planes and spies, in order to make an extra contribution to the logistics and supply of the volunteers, and improve the situation of lack of food and ammunition for the front-line troops as much as possible, but this qiē does not seem to have an obvious effect, there is still no change after the start of the big battle, and the continuous attack time of the volunteers is still seven days, and our opponent is not an idiot. This allowed Li Qiwei, commander of the US Eighth Army, who was good at summing up experience, to grasp the law.

Li Qiwei called the attack time of the volunteers the week offensive or the week offensive, and invented the famous magnetic tactic on the Korean battlefield according to the strength of the attack of the volunteers.

The so-called magnetic tactics are a kind of adhesive tactics implemented by taking advantage of the shortcomings of the volunteer army in logistics and supply, relying on mechanized troops, and the specific methods are:

First, the maximum attack distance of the Volunteer infantry was 30 kilometers per day and night, so Li Qiwei ordered the US troops to retreat when the Volunteer Army attack was launched, but the retreat distance was not allowed to exceed 30 kilometers.

Second, the attack capability of the volunteers can only last for seven days, so the allowable retreat time of the US combat units is also seven days, that is, the US troops can retreat for seven consecutive days at a distance of 30 kilometers per day after the volunteers launch an attack.

The above is the so-called magnetic tactic invented by the US military.

The advantage of the US military in doing so is that the combat units and the volunteer army are separated at a moment's notice, and they can exchange space for time by virtue of their highly mechanized and rapid mobility capabilities.

The attacking troops of the Volunteers are all marching on foot, and 30 kilometers is the limit distance for infantry attacks, but this distance of more than 30 kilometers is not a difficult thing for the completely mechanized US troops, and the volunteers can be completely thrown off in one or two hours of marching.

According to Li Qiwei's tactical command, the US troops retreated 30 kilometers every day for seven consecutive days, and launched a counterattack when the volunteers ran out of food and ammunition and the troops were extremely tired.

The opponents of the Volunteers are not unscrupulous or idiots, and a large number of outstanding generals have emerged in the US military that has just finished World War II, and Matthew-Ridgway, deputy chief of staff of the army, is the most outstanding one among them.

Li Yong knew this very well, but he didn't have any good way to do it in the bureau, so he asked Li Jia to gather all the cadres above the squad level after sending the telegram to a meeting to study the next move.

Before the start of the three battles, the combat plan of the squad was how to occupy the parliamentary government and snatch a piece of meat from the mouth of the United Nations army.

Defeat a battalion of the enemy, the losses of the squad are not large, the basic combat effectiveness is still there, just wait for the follow-up troops to come up? This is not Li Yong's style, nor is it the style of the Independent Brigade, so Li Yong has a bigger plan brewing in his head.

Strictly speaking, the battle of the parliamentary-government-government was the first time that the independent brigade fought against a foreign race after it became an army, although the scale of the battle was not large, but it played the prestige of the independent brigade, and in the eyes of the soldiers, as long as we can rush forward, what the fucking United Nations-army is all shit, and no one can withstand the fighting tactics of submachine guns, grenades and bayonets.
