Wonsan Cannon(1)
In fact, when Liu Hai settled on the east coast of North Korea, Mr. Peng did not make a fuss about nothing, but at a combat meeting, he talked about the Inchon landing of the US army, and a volunteer general said that we have now crossed the 38th parallel, and the old United States will not repeat the old trick, but the meeting room did laugh, because everyone thought that the Americans would not do this again, and they should have used it once! However, Mr. Peng thought the opposite, thinking that it was not impossible, especially now that the logistics and transportation of the Volunteer Army are difficult and the battle line is elongated, it is difficult to prevent the other party from coming again. The U.S. military's maritime power is very strong, if it really happens again, even if you want to, it will be cut off, after all, the army is now concentrated near the 38th parallel, so Mr. Peng plans to let Liu Hai go to the western coastal defense to catch the unexpected!
After Liu Hai received the order, he rushed to a newly established coastal defense command, and the commander of this command was a division commander! After Liu Hai arrived, he hurriedly communicated with the division commander, and then Liu Hai locked himself in the house and carefully studied where the other party landed! In fact, Liu Hai also knows that now the United Nations army has retreated hundreds of kilometers in a row, and has fallen into passivity militarily! In this case, the Americans are likely to show a strange move, including the possibility of another large-scale landing operation to change the current situation!
"How many shore defense artillery do we have, how many personnel and *?" Bangs asked. "There are about a few hundred coastal defense artillery, but most of them are old artillery, and two are products of the pre-Qing era, and they can all enter the museum, as for the number of people, there are tens of thousands of people in total, and all kinds of troops are here!" The commander patted Bang Hai's shoulder and sighed helplessly, "Among these people who came, they were all selected by various troops!" "Understandable!" Bangs shook his head and said. "To put it bluntly, this is a mess, it's not easy to be, it's not good!" The Commander shook his head! "Now, bring your weapons book, as well as maps and staff officers, and we'll try to get these cannons where they should be within a day!" Bangs said. "Alright! I'll get ready right away! The commander said.
Just when Liu Hai and a military commander were planning to study this place carefully, the commander of the US army, Li Qiwei, was also thinking about the same thing! Because the current United Nations army has been beaten like a dog and desperately rushing south, the Chinese army's charge is called the devil's horn, and a South Korean division immediately retreated because it heard the Chinese army's charge! The bleak reality made Li Qiwei use his brains to repeat the flank and rear landing, hoping to cut off the rear route of the Chinese and North Korean troops in one fell swoop like the last time. In fact, Li Qiwei has been thinking about this matter for a long time, but if he wants to repeat the old trick and use the same strategy against the opponent, the difficulty is not a little bit, MacArthur was taken by surprise at the beginning, then this time he can only rely on the strong sea and air strength to carry out a rapid assault, and he must break through the opponent's shore defense and land and advance in a short period of time to succeed!
"You're done? That's all there is to it! The Commander of the Shore Defense said, pointing to the weapons book. There are not many belongings, but as long as they are reasonably arranged, they can still play a role! At least it can make the landing of the Americans expensive! Bangs said thoughtfully as he looked at the weapon book. In fact, Commander Liu, don't you know, before the landing at Incheon, the leaders of our country, including Chairman Mao, warned the fat man to pay attention to the coastal defense on the west side, especially the port of Incheon, and the Americans are very likely to land. The fat man also listened to it, but unfortunately he only listened to half of it, he deployed all the * and most of the artillery in Wonsan Port, if he could take out half of the * and put it in Incheon, we wouldn't use it in North Korea! "This fat golden man, a typical citizen of a small country, is careful and big, with low eyes and high hands, and it is not necessarily a good thing that North Korea is really in his hands!" Looking for my meaning, it is better to return North Korea to our national trusteeship after the fight! "Bangs looks down on the fat man very much." I also see it this way, this kid used to be the commander of a small division of the Anti-Japanese Federation, and he sat in the last row at the meeting of the Anti-Japanese Federation at that time, and now he has become a fine man when he returns to North Korea! "This coastal defense commander has the same opinion as Liu Hai on this matter." But Commander Liu, where is the focus of our defense this time? ”
"This time, we will still focus our defense on Wonsan Port!" Liu Hai said to the commander of the shore defense. "What? Still in Wonsan Port? "Yes! Last time, they were taken by surprise and had to make dangerous moves, but this time if they wanted to repeat the old trick, they could only storm it, and Incheon Port had all the conditions that were not suitable for landing, which was the reason why MacArthur chose this place last time, and it was also the reason why the fat man did not fortify here! And Wonsan Port is very suitable for landing, so if it is a strong attack this time, Li Qiwei will definitely choose Wonsan Port! Bangs said resolutely. It makes sense, it's a strong attack anyway, if it were me, I would also find a suitable place to attack! ”。 Liu Hai and this commander of the shore defense put two-thirds of the heavy artillery and * all in Wonsan Port!
"General, if we want to realize your landing idea, we must first reconnoiter and test Wonsan Port to see if they have a heavy defense, and then we can determine whether we can carry out a landing operation!" Ridgway's chief of staff said. "You mean that my battle plan can only be implemented with your approval, right?" Li Qiwei was very dissatisfied with the attitude of his chief of staff. "No, no, no, general, I'm talking about the Joint Chiefs of Staff, we must report to the Joint Conference for approval for such a large combat operation, but after all, we have already used this method once, and I am afraid that the other party will be prepared to use it again!" The chief of staff hurriedly said. "Don't you know what it means to think the opposite? You can only do it by surprise! Ridgway said. Your idea is perfect, but if you want the generals of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to agree, there must be sufficient reasons, and this requires us to conduct aerial reconnaissance, maritime reconnaissance, and fire reconnaissance, and only after these reconnaissance can we convince the generals with ironclad facts! "You're right, Chief of Staff!" Li Qiwei said.
"In this way, let's send six minesweepers to conduct minesweeping reconnaissance on Wonsan Port first, as for aerial reconnaissance, we can do it at any time, if these six minesweepers can take the opportunity to sweep out a fairway, it would be the best!" Ridgway said to his chief of staff. "Do you need to send some more ships to follow, let's say one or two destroyers or something, it's good to have a response!" said the chief of staff. "No, you don't! If the destroyer comes up and can only withstand the blow of shore artillery fire, it is enough to send only minesweepers, if there are other ships to follow, it is easy for the opponent to save the artillery power and not fire, if it is only a minesweeper, the opponent will definitely fire, so that the strength of the opponent's artillery fire can be reconnoitred and evaluated! Ridgway said. You're right, if they open fire, we'll be able to determine the direction of their artillery fire, and then use the air force to destroy them! "The Chief of Staff agrees!" Not only that, but we can also look at the density and intensity of their deployment, which is very useful for our next large-scale minesweeping and clearing of the fairway! Li Qiwei said.
"Well, that's basically the case!" Liu Hai looked at Wonshan's defense map and said. "Several waterways in Wonsan have all been blocked, and there is artillery cooperation, I think I can ask Shiji for one or two more anti-aircraft artillery battalions to come to support, it will be more comprehensive!" said the commander of the shore defense. "Don't think about the anti-aircraft artillery battalion, in the entire triangle, there are only two anti-aircraft artillery battalions in the transportation center, how can you give you an anti-aircraft artillery battalion if you are not sure whether the other party will come to the port, one or two companies is good!" Bangs said. "That's right, I don't know if this American devil will come, and we don't have enough confidence to ask for something!" The commander of the shore defense sighed. "I think Li Qiwei has to try it, if the landing here is successful, the result is too tempting, I can't add another star to his shoulder, look good, there is always a chance!" Bangs said.
"Division Commander Liu, I just heard a piece of news, we captured an American gun some time ago, with a large caliber, 203 mm, can we ask for it?" The commander of the coastal defense found the bangs with great interest. "Two hundred and three millimeters!" Bangs is also a little excited, if this kind of large-caliber artillery is owned in large quantities, then it can play a huge role on the battlefield, if there is only one, it is the most suitable for shore defense killer! "Where?" Bangs asked. "It's at a logistics station not far from us, I heard that it is going to be transported back to China, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to get up!" said the commander of the shore defense. "We can try, if we can come, the horses will be great!" Liu Hai immediately beckoned the division commander to go to the military station to ask for a cannon together!
"No, Division Commander Liu, this cannon is instructed to be shipped back to China for research!" The person in charge of the military station said to Liu Hai. "What's there to study here, it's just a bigger caliber! As long as the inner chamber is expanded to strengthen the strength of the pipe wall, it can be created! Bangs said. That being said, but I can't disobey the order, so as long as you have the approval of Commander Hong, I will hand over the cannon to you immediately! The person in charge said. Good! Don't transport it away yet, wait for me for two days, okay? Bangs said. Yes! That's fine, but I can only put it off for two days, and I won't be able to handle it any more! The person in charge said. Good! ”
"I'll see it!" Commander Hong Xuezhi of the Logistics Command said, "This cannon can't play any role, and it's nothing to use for him, not to mention that this bangs also helped me transport the sixty wagons of materials out, which helped us a lot, so give it to him!" ”。 Although Hong Xuezhi agreed, he never expected that this cannon completely dispelled Li Qiwei's idea of landing in Yuanshan.
