The campaign begins
"What's going on?" Liu Hai was surprised, he had just arrived at the station, and he had not yet seen an anti-aircraft gun, and an urgent telegram came asking him to rush back to the Western Front immediately! The taboo of the soldiers who change the order every day, Mr. Peng should not make such a mistake, but the order is like this, Liu Hai thought about it and obeyed the order. Walking back in the car again, hiding and hiding along the way, Liu Hai through the observation on the road, found that the bombing of the US army is really pervasive, in the morning, at noon, the night shift is a non-leakage, from time to time there are cruising groups, it seems that the US military on the battlefield invested in the air force is indeed very large, even the sortie and speed of the sortie shocked Liu Hai, under such bombing, the assembly and advance of the troops must be difficult!
returned to the headquarters, Liu Hai hurriedly went to report, and it was the secretary Mao who received him! "Division Commander Liu, I'm sorry, the plan has been canceled, the fact that our Ninth Corps has entered Korea and has no winter clothes has been leaked, and the Americans have already started an offensive on the Eastern Front!" Secretary Mao said. "How can that work, it's too cold there, and no one is going to fight in this situation!" "It's too late to say anything, the Ninth Corps must immediately go into battle!" Secretary Mao said helplessly. "But..." Liu Hai wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Secretary Mao. "No, but, the military order is like a mountain, the military situation is like fire, it's too late to think about it so much!" Secretary Mao is also helpless! "Then let me go to the Eastern Front, at least give them some artillery support!" Bangs said. "That's why I called you back!" Secretary Mao said.
"Your artillery division has two artillery regiments, what Mr. Peng means is to divide an artillery regiment to support the Eastern Front, and you and another artillery regiment and your direct brigade will participate in the operation on the Western Front, and that's it!" Secretary Mao said. "Yes, just ask Wu Fatzi's heavy artillery regiment to go to the Eastern Front, there is a 1st Marine Division fighting there, and it will definitely need strong artillery support!" Bangs said. "Yes, but don't worry, after the battle is over, your heavy artillery regiment will be established, and it will still be your troops!" Secretary Mao said. "As long as I fight for the country, I am willing to be an ordinary artilleryman!" Bangs said. "Excellent! I'm glad you have such an awareness! Secretary Mao said happily. However, on the way back, I observed the bombing of the US army along the way, the number of sorties and intensity are indeed very strong, I need to teach Wu Fatzi some opportunities, otherwise this kid is afraid that he will not be able to! Bangs said.
"Majestic, high-spirited, across the Yalu River. To protect peace and defend the motherland is to protect the hometown. The good sons and daughters of China are united together. Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea Defeat U.S. Imperialism's Ambition Wolf。。。。。 "The war song of the volunteers is constantly singing along the way, and Wu Fatzi is standing on the front of the car, waving his arms vigorously and singing with the people in the car." Wu Fatty! Bangs screamed when he saw him. Wu Fatzi saw that it was Bangs and hurriedly jumped down. "Divisional commander! I'm coming! Wu Fatzi said energetically. Come here and I'll tell you! Liu Hai called Wu Fatzi aside and said, "I called you here to tell you that your artillery regiment is going to be sent to the Eastern Front to support the Ninth Corps in battle!" "Okay! Don't worry, I will never disgrace our teacher! "It's not a shame, I'm going to tell you, when you go to the Eastern Front, you should pay attention to two things, the first is camouflage, the second is maneuvering, you must do a good job of camouflage before firing artillery, maneuver after firing artillery, don't stay in one place for half an hour, when fighting, you can arrange several positions in an area for mobile operations, do you hear it!" Bangs said nervously.
"Yes!" Although Wu Fatzi is also a veteran who has fought countless battles, he has never seen his division commander like this. "I tell you not to take it lightly, we are facing the Americans, the firepower and mobility are not comparable to the Japanese army back then, and especially the enemy's air force must pay attention to it, ground camouflage must be done well, air defense must be strengthened, I don't want to go to the Gaima Plateau to collect your body!" Bangs said. "Master Xing, I remember!" Wu Fatzi hurriedly said. "Also, pay attention to the 1st Marine Division to destroy his vehicles, as long as there are no vehicles, whether it is attacking or retreating, it will be very annoying, your artillery is heavy artillery, and the mobility is limited, don't blindly pursue, you must move in advance in a planned way, and try to give full play to your tactical ability, remember?" Bangs once again instructed, "You know, this time the enemy is stronger than ever!" ”
"Report I've already arranged!" Liu Hai returned to the headquarters and found Mr. Peng. "Division Commander Liu, don't say anything, hurry back to the front line, a part of the enemy's forces has begun a tentative attack, I have written it very clearly in the document, that is, in the early stage of the campaign, we must resist step by step, step by step, and slowly lure the enemy to our predetermined location, we can't be too hard, and we can't let the enemy in, your artillery must support the troops in the operation, and you must cooperate closely with the troops!" Mr. Peng said, "You know, we only have three artillery divisions in Korea, and only your artillery division has the best equipment and the best quality, so in this battle, your artillery must play a role!" "Please rest assured that the bangs will not disappoint your expectations and successfully complete the task!" After the bangs finished speaking, he saluted and hurriedly set off!
After returning to the station in Yunshan, Liu Hai immediately began to prepare for the war! The first thing he did was to call out to the ghost cannon who was still sleeping, and told him to reorganize his troops and prepare for battle. The ghost artillery began to reorganize the armament in a hurry, hung the cannon on the car, loaded the shells into the car, and was ready to set off within two hours! "Divisional commander! What do I do? "Liu Xiaoshan saw that the ghost cannon was scolding and scolding the command of the troops, so he ran over and asked Liu Hai." When your troops are here, Pak Jiadong is hidden and on standby, remember that the troops are not allowed to light fires and smoke, especially at night, and when they are marching, they must be dispersed as much as possible, pay attention to avoid the bombing of enemy planes, as for the combat mission, I will send you a telegram, and your troops are not allowed to go out without my order! Bangs said. Got it! "Liu Xiaoshan took the order and left! Bangs looked nervously at the map, and the arrows on the map indicated the direction of the enemy's attack!
Less than two kilometers from the place where the South Korean army patrol tanks were ambushed last time is the line of contact between the enemy and us, where our army is stationed on the 455.6 high ground, which is a place with great terrain advantages, and the troops can hold it, and their artillery only needs to be placed on the hillside five kilometers behind the high ground. The best thing is that it's close to the road and ready to retreat! As for the rocket artillery battalion, you can put it a little farther away and do not need them to support the troops to block the attack, the dense fire of the rocket artillery is very suitable for hitting the enemy troops who break through the defense line, which can not only strike and consume the enemy, but also cover the retreat of the troops! While bangs were thinking, a petite figure flashed in!
"Divisional commander! I resolutely ask to lead the way for the troops! A voice said firmly. Isn't this Comrade Choi Jung-young? What's wrong? Bangs asked. Your artillery commander refuses me to march with the army! Choi said. In this case, you go and call him and the rocket artillery battalion commander in! Bangs said. Good! After Cui Zhengying finished speaking, he walked outside. After a while, Cui Zhengying called both of them in. "Report to the division commander, our regiment is ready and ready to be drawn at any time!" "My battalion is also ready, please give the order from the division commander!" said the commander of the rocket artillery battalion. "Good, look!" Bangs called the two men to the map and told them where they were going, then the order of support, and the way to retreat. "The most important thing is that if I ask you to fire a few shots, you will fire a few shots, especially your ghost cannon, you can't cover it, the shells must remain scattered when shooting, and you can't let the other party judge the strength of our artillery!" Bangs said. In fact, there is a reason for this arrangement, this time it is the initial operation, Mr. Peng's order is to lure the enemy deep, if you expose your artillery strength now, then it is easy for the other party to judge the strength of the troops from the strength and density of the artillery, in this case, it is inconsistent with Mr. Peng's battle arrangement! The bangs were arranged one by one, and the two of them nodded yes! After introducing the battle plan, Liu Hai told the ghost artillery that Comrade Cui Zhengying would lead the way, but the ghost artillery must ensure the safety of Comrade Cui Zhengying! The ghost cannon helplessly led Cui Zhengying out.
Under the command of Liu Hai, the Eighth Division quickly began to march, and its implementation army did not travel a few miles to the predetermined location, Liu Hai set up his headquarters on a car at the foot of a mountain, and then began to contact the combat troops in front. After establishing contact, Liu Hai found that the other party had not started to attack yet, which was a bit abnormal, it stands to reason that after the US troops on the eastern front were dispatched, the western front should also be dispatched! Sure enough, before Liu Hai could come up with anything, a burst of fierce artillery fire smashed on the position in front, and American fighters flew in the sky, and began to prepare for fire on the position! "! Why is it so slow? Bangs said with some confusion. Ask the troops at the front what kind of enemy the other side is, whether it is the U.S. Army or the South Korean Army! Bangs said. After some inquiry, the front line reported the enemy's situation, and it was the South Korean army that came up, and under the cover of artillery fire, began to attack the position! "Lao Mei is always like this, let the servant army come to send him to death, and he will visit in the back! Don't fire just yet, wait and see! Bangs said.
This time, it was really not the US military that wanted to send the South Korean army to death, but mainly the puppet President Syngman Rhee of South Korea who ordered his own troops to attack first in order to prove that the Volunteer Army was only a small force! With the start of the offensive of the South Korean army, the second battle really began!
