Ace vs. Ace (4)
Before the Battle of Yunshan, according to Peng Dehuai's campaign deployment, there must be a unit to go to the junction of the eastern and western battlefields to attract and block possible reinforcements of the US Tenth Army in the east, and this force is Liu Xiaoshan's direct brigade! It was Wu Xinquan's order to ask Liu Xiaoshan to go, and the reason for sending Liu Xiaoshan was because Wu Xinquan thought that the brigade directly under an artillery division did not have much combat effectiveness, and at most it was to respond to and protect the artillery, and the joint part attracted and blocked the US Tenth Army, and such a task was the most suitable for the brigade directly under his eyes, so Liu Xiaoshan did not participate in the battle in the east or west, but went to the junction to go around.
At the same time as the counterattack on the Western Front, in order to block the advance of the US Tenth Army to the Jiangjie on the Eastern Front, the 42nd Army of the Volunteer Army first transported two battalions by car to the Huangcaoling and Zhanling areas to seize the key points and cover the main force of the army. After the main force of the army arrived in this area, it immediately deployed one regiment of the 126th Division in the area north of the Battle Ridge, with the other three regiments as the army reserve; The 124th Division was deployed in the Caofangling and Yantaifeng areas south of Huangcaoling, and a reinforced battalion of the division was used to control the key points of Xiaobaishan. The 124th Division, with the cooperation of an artillery brigade and an armored wing of the KPA, repeatedly repelled the attacks of the 3rd Division of the ROK Army. The 376th Regiment of the 126th Division advanced to Zhanling after a regiment of the ROK Army's capital division withdrew south. The U.S. Tenth Army hastily transferred the 1st Marine Division to the battle. The division and the Third Division of the ROK Army, with the cooperation of more than 50 planes and more than 40 tanks, stormed the front-line position of Yantai Peak of the Volunteer Army. The defending troops of the 124th Division relied on their field positions and took the initiative to withdraw from the Yantai Peak position after inflicting a large number of casualties on the enemy. The US and ROK armies formed a rapid assault force with more than 40 tanks, more than 200 automobiles, and armored vehicles, and broke through to Chobong Ling under the cover of aircraft. The defending units of the Chinese People's Volunteers and the People's Army stubbornly resisted when they were short of food and ammunition and drinking water, and blocked them in the east and west of Sanjuli, effectively cooperating with the main force on the Western Front. However, at this time, the fighting on the Western Front was not over, and the famous 1st Marine Division was still attacking, and of course, the 3rd Division of the South Korean Army!
The 1st Marine Division of the US Navy mobilized more than 400 sorties of planes and more than 100 guns to wantonly and indiscriminately bomb the main position of our army in Huangcaoling, and launched a fierce attack with the strength of one regiment under the cover of more than 40 tanks and armored vehicles. The fortifications of our army were completely destroyed, there were a large number of casualties, and the front-line positions were occupied by the enemy. Commander Wu Ruilin ordered the commander of the 124th Division to give full play to our army's strengths in close combat and night fighting, quickly organize the strength of four battalions, and take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to launch a major counterattack as soon as it gets dark. At night, taking advantage of the heavy snowfall, the whole battalion wore cotton clothes back, and the people and the snow were one, and they unknowingly inserted themselves into the west side of the water hole on the east side of Yantai Peak, annihilating a reinforced platoon of American troops stationed there, and opening up the enemy's deep breakthrough. At midnight, when the enemy was sleeping soundly, more than 1,000 people of the 3rd Battalion went straight down to the high ground behind the enemy line south of Longshuidong, completely annihilated the command post of an artillery battalion of the enemy, destroyed three guns and more than 10 cars, and directly threatened the safety of the enemy's flank and rear. Because the three battalions counterattacked too far, more than 1,000 people went deep behind enemy lines, which was a great threat to the enemy and a great danger to our army. The commander of the 124th Division made a decisive decision to take advantage of the dawn to adopt the tactics of digging into the heart, sticking to the high ground, digging deep fortifications, and preparing for fierce battles.
Sure enough, as soon as the morning dawned, the 1st Marine Division of the US Army suspended its frontal attack and used a group of men and horses to turn back and cooperate with the 1st Division of the US Army in the reserve to flank the attack, in an attempt to encircle and eliminate the 3rd Battalion in order to relieve its worries. The enemy dispatched more than 60 planes and more than 20 tanks to launch a fierce attack on the 3rd Battalion, which calmly responded to the battle and smashed the enemy's repeated attacks.
The pressure on the front was too great, so the commander of the Eastern Front made a report, hoping that Liu Xiaoshan, who was turning around at the junction, could help the troops on the Eastern Front to do the 1st Marine Division of the US Army! Anyway, Liu Xiaoshan was idle and had nothing to do, leading his troops to show off his might everywhere in the mountains, constantly annihilating the small group of enemy troops that leaked out of the two battlefields. After receiving the order, Liu Xiaoshan was ordered to strike at the 1st Marine Division. However, after seeing the order, Liu Xiaoshan did not directly obey the order, but used his brains and did not directly attack the US 1st Marine Division, but aimed his gun at the 3rd South Korean Division that cooperated with the US army! Liu Xiaoshan believes that the 1st Marine Division of the US Army must be a hard bone, a tank and an artillery, and it will definitely not be easy to fight, but the 3rd South Korean Division, which is responsible for cooperating with its operations, is different!
In fact, Liu Xiaoshan was right, the 1st Marine Division of the US Army is also a well-known meritorious unit, and its combat capability is not covered, so in the eyes of the 1st Marine Division, the 3rd South Korean Division that cooperated with them in the fight was simply a group of clowns who were useless and amused! Therefore, the U.S. military itself was responsible for the attack, and handed over all the miscellaneous tasks such as flank cover and logistics transportation to the South Korean Third Division! Relatively speaking, the South Korean Third Division also thinks the same way, with the US military here, the other side, whether it is the CCP or the People's Army of the Workers' Party, will not pay attention to itself, because the army of the powerful ally the United States will completely defeat those CCP troops and the People's Army, but Liu Xiaoshan is just eyeing them!
Liu Xiaoshan's troops have several guides of the People's Army, these people are also veterans of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance, and they are all good at reconnaissance and ambush military skills, after Liu Xiaoshan told them their thoughts, they understood what the brigade commander was going to do, and immediately helped Liu Xiaoshan to determine the location of the other party through reconnaissance and visits. After a short period of intense preparation, Liu Xiaoshan set the target on the first regiment of the South Korean Third Division, because he was the closest in this first regiment, and the US army had already reached the first line of Sanjuli, and Liu Xiaoshan could be regarded as deep behind the enemy, so he led the team to kill and went straight to the first regiment of the South Korean Third Division!
The commander of this first regiment is a wine bag and rice bag, even if he is not good at combat, he is still blindly arrogant, and does not look at the people's army in his eyes, although he heard that China has sent troops, he also feels that there are US troops and the Chinese are not opponents, so he followed the US army behind the ass to transport ammunition and provide support, and by the way, rape and plunder along the way! Liu Xiaoshan divided his brigade into three parts, the two main regiments cut off their heads and tails and surrounded them in a roundabout way, while the other reinforced battalion was the main assault force, responsible for the centripetal assault, and ordered to attack at the same time, eliminating the unlucky 1st Regiment of the 3rd South Korean Division in one fell swoop! But just when Liu Xiaoshan was about to take advantage of the attack, the first regiment seemed to have been whipped, and suddenly began to assemble and prepare for battle, which made Liu Xiaoshan, who was preparing to attack, startled!
"These won't know grandpa is attacking, will they?" Liu Xiaoshan asked, looking at the South Korean troops below. "How is that possible?" The Korean People's Army guide said, "The commander told you to fight the US army, but you came to fight the South Korean army, not to mention the enemy, even the headquarters did not know that you would do this, no matter how smart the enemy spy was, he would never have thought that you would disobey the order!" "Fart! Is this disobeying orders? Lao Tzu is called adapting measures to local conditions, being flexible and mobile, and not being rigid, besides, the battlefield situation is changing rapidly, and the general should not be subject to the king's life outside, do you understand? Liu Xiaoshan scolded. Don't dare to understand! "This guide has also been very speechless to this brigade commander these days, scolding people at every turn, and looking like his eyes are above the top, I really don't know if he will be the first to run away in the fight!
"Leave him alone, let's talk about it, tell the troops to attack as originally planned!" After Liu Xiaoshan finished speaking to his correspondent, he picked up a flare gun, turned it around and said to the guide, "Don't run away, follow me to capture the prisoners, I have something to ask about these South Korean sticks!" "Yes! Brigade! The KPA said. Open! "After a small sound, a flare rises into the sky!" Come on! Before the signal flare exploded, Liu Xiaoshan grabbed a * and rushed forward! The guide didn't dare to slack off, and followed with a gun! "Chong, rush, give it to me!" Liu Xiaoshan fully carried forward his true colors as a commando captain and took the lead in the charge, he never expected such a guide to be shocked, not to mention the brigade commander charging before, the regiment commander charging was rare, this is really a master who doesn't want to die!
Liu Xiaoshan rushed forward with his assault battalion, and the soldiers behind naturally had nothing to say, the brigade commander personally took the lead in the charge, and the soldiers couldn't say anything if they didn't play with their lives, so they also rushed forward! What made the KPA guide feel the most palpitating was that in the face of the opponent's machine-gun fire, Liu Xiaoshan was not afraid, and he rushed to the opponent's machine gun while facing the bullets, and it took less than 10 minutes for his soldiers to break through the perimeter of the 1st Regiment of the 3rd Division of South Korea. The commander of the first regiment is now assembling to give a lecture to the troops, which is nothing more than fighting bravely and striving for meritorious service, but at this time, the sound of gunfire rang out in the sky, and countless bullets began to fly wildly! The regiment leader turned his head in horror and saw the fierce Liu Xiaoshan rushing over! "Organize a fight and destroy the enemy!" The commander of the 1st Regiment pretended to be calm, but before he could finish shouting, the South Korean soldiers, who were also frightened, threw down their guns and turned around and ran, ignoring the shouts of the regiment commander!
"Get the for me!" Liu Xiaoshan dragged up the frightened South Korean regiment commander who peed his pants in front of him, and put the muzzle of the gun on his head! "Guide! Where the did you die? Liu Xiaoshan scolded. I am here! "The guide stumbled over, he really couldn't catch up with this man's speed, but he didn't dare to get too far away from him, no matter what, he arrived when the brigade commander needed him!" Ask him, where are the artillery positions, ammunition gathering points, and field fuel depots of the US army? Liu Xiaoshan said. The guide didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked, he was so frightened that he couldn't possess his body, he knew everything and said everything, and finally kindly persuaded him: In front is the 1st Marine Division of the US Army, which is the trump card, tell them to run quickly! "Trump? Hehe, killing them is the trump card! Liu Xiaoshan sneered and killed the regiment commander with one shot!
"If you can kill it, don't catch it alive, you don't need to clean up the battlefield, assemble it all, and attack the 1st Marine Division!" Liu Xiaoshan's crazy roar resounded through the valley!
