Diversion Attack (1)
"Now the reconnaissance intelligence is here!" Liu Xiaoshan handed over the results of his investigation to Liu Hai. "Are all the areas scouted? It's about my counterattack artillery arrangement! Bangs drew circles on the map while reading the reconnaissance report. Don't worry, it's not the first time we've done this kind of thing, no problem! Liu Xiaoshan said. Feel relieved? If I can rest assured, the Eighth Artillery Division can be divided into independent artillery regiments attached to the army, and you can be a division commander if you don't do it! Bangs looked at the intelligence and checked it on the map. I'll be a division commander these two times, don't be funny, it's my honor to be a brigade commander under you! Hey! Liu Xiaoshan said with a hippie smile. Liu Xiaoshan, it may be your honor to be a brigade commander under me, but it is definitely my misfortune! Come here! Liu Hai said to Liu Xiaoshan. What's wrong? Liu Xiaoshan hurriedly ran over.
"Eleven miles west of Shangganling, here is a clearing, in front of it is a row of ridges, such a good place Americans will not see? Why isn't there any hostility here in your reconnaissance report? Bangs pointed on the map. Here is the reconnaissance company of the third regiment in charge, and the company commander is also a veteran... Liu Xiaoshan said. We need to re-investigate here, and we must find out what the hell is here! Liu Hai said, "You go to re-investigate immediately, and you must bring it over and report it before ten o'clock tonight!" "Yes!" Liu Xiaoshan said.
"Brigade commander, I've seen it all here, it's nothing, why did you come and see it yourself?" The commander of the reconnaissance company of the third regiment said as he lay on the ground. "You know what a!" Liu Xiaoshan said angrily, "If anyone in our division doesn't listen to the teacher, it will not be far from death, the teacher said that there is a problem here, there must be a problem, get in from here, get close to me, see clearly, is there anything in the end!" "Yes!" After speaking, the commander of the reconnaissance company took the lead in the front and got into the dwarf. After a few people got in, they saw the open space inside, and there was nothing! "Look, brigade commander, there's nothing!" The company commander pointed to the front and said. "That's not right!" Liu Xiaoshan looked at the open space in front of him and said, "I see that the place on the map is quite big!" Walk through the clearing and take a look over there! "Yes!" The company commander said. Liu Xiaoshan led the people through the clearing and through the low forest opposite!
Sure enough, after passing through the low forest opposite, I found that there was a larger open space over there, and there were dozens of 155 artillery pieces of the American army neatly placed in that open space! ", open your dog's eyes and see, what is this?" Liu Xiaoshan grabbed the commander of the reconnaissance company and scolded in a low voice. "This... How can this still be? "The reconnaissance company commander's eyes widened!" With such a large artillery group, you don't fucking say anything! Liu Xiaoshan said, "Go back, Lao Tzu will be scolded for you!" You son of a bitch! ”
"Come here, take the map, and go through all the places you have scouted, and see if there are any places that have been missed!" After Liu Xiaoshan came back with the reconnaissance company of the third regiment, he called all the commanders of the reconnaissance company together and said. Several reconnaissance company commanders knew about the reconnaissance company of the third regiment, and they did not dare to slack off, so they rechecked one after another. After more than two hours of verification, Liu Xiaoshan told these company commanders, "Lao Tzu will go to the division commander to report now, if there is any more problems, Lao Tzu will collapse him when he comes back!" "No more guaranteed!" A couple of company commanders said.
"That's it for now!" Liu Hai looked at Liu Xiaoshan's supplementary report and said. "And what's next!" Liu Xiaoshan asked. "There's nothing for you to do next, go back and get ready for a counterattack! Wait for the order! Bangs said. Be! After Liu Xiaoshan finished speaking, he turned around and ran away!
After Liu Hai carefully read Liu Xiaoshan's reconnaissance report, he made artillery arrangements for counterattacks according to the existing artillery strength! Just when Liu Xiaoshan was scouting, the two artillery divisions and three rocket artillery regiments assigned by the boss to Liu Hai had already arrived at the designated position, and had basically completed the ammunition replenishment, and now the shells were loaded! Looking at the artillery sequence under his command, Liu Hai also felt a little excited, he had never commanded so many artillery units to fight at the same time. Liu Hai judged from the reconnaissance information that Liu Xiaoshan had brought back that the Americans were also preparing for another round of attacks at this time, and launching a counterattack at this time would certainly deal a heavier blow to the morale of the US-led UN troops.
Judging from Liu Xiaoshan's reconnaissance report, the focus of the Americans' offensive was on the west side of Shangganling, that is, the area around the No. 6 position, and the two heights on the front of Shangganling did not plan to attack much, and it seems that the Americans are still very smart, as long as they can break through the No. 6 position, the two highlands on the front will not be a problem, and as for the eastern front, although one US regiment and two South Korean divisions have also been assembled, it is obviously a feint, so Liu Hai decided to put three of his five artillery divisions and one rocket artillery regiment behind the No. 6 position. For the counterattack cover of the two heights in the front, it is enough to arrange an artillery division, because those two heights have such a large bomb area, and if there are too many guns, it will only be a waste of firepower, and as for the Eastern Front, Liu Hai still sent an artillery division and a rocket artillery regiment to be responsible for striking at the US Army and the South Korean Army on the Eastern Front!
After the big arrangement was made, Liu Hai began to arrange the artillery fire in the detailed rules, such as where the first round of artillery bombardment will be hit, where the second round of artillery will be hit, especially the timing of the attack of the rocket artillery regiment is particularly important, because the biggest advantage of rocket artillery is to cover an area with a large number of rocket artillery in a short period of time to form a powerful covering and killing, so the most important thing for rocket artillery is the timing of shooting! In terms of establishment and arrangement, Liu Hai arranged his two artillery regiments in the counterattack area of the two highlands on the front, the newly transferred 5th Artillery Division and the 6th Artillery Division and the 7th Artillery Division cooperated with two rocket artillery regiments to be responsible for the fire counterattack on the right side of Shangganling, and the newly transferred 10th Artillery Division cooperated with a rocket artillery regiment to be responsible for the fire counterattack on the east side!
After Liu Hai made the operational arrangements for the five artillery divisions and the three rocket artillery regiments, he handed them over to the Zhi Division for approval! After his report was handed in, it was quickly approved, and it is said that the commander-in-chief approved it without even reading it. The reason is that the commander-in-chief trusts Liu Hai's ability very much, and he is also very relieved of his firepower arrangement, so he directly approved it, which is the best arrangement for the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army! After everything was ready, they waited for the reactionary counterattack, but at this time, the news came that the commander of a South Korean army had surrendered!
The commander of the South Korean Army surrendered because the Americans told him that in the upcoming attack, his troops must rush to the last man, otherwise the American blocking team would not be polite, and the area he was responsible for attacking was Position 6! Position No. 6 has been held so far, and thousands of South Korean troops and U.S. troops have been killed, second only to the casualties of the troops attacking the Shangganling Heights head-on, which makes Cowen very angry, so the American general wants to take this opportunity to concentrate superior forces and firepower to take the No. 6 position in one go! Having said that, if the No. 6 position can be taken, then not only can it attack the flank of the Volunteer Army in a roundabout way and launch a surprise attack to the abyss depth of Wusheng Mountain, but it can also completely cut off the supply road of the Shangganling tunnel troops, so that the stalemate in the entire Shangganling area will be opened.
Because of these reasons, this time the US army's upcoming offensive on all fronts is focused on position No. 6, so in the counterattack of the volunteers this time, the focus of firepower and strength is also on position No. 6! Just when Liu Hai was making a plan for an artillery counterattack, the correspondent came to tell him that the commander-in-chief had asked him to go to the headquarters for a meeting! Liu Haiman thought that he was going to attend a meeting on operational arrangements before the counterattack, but when he arrived at the headquarters, he found that the enemy situation had changed significantly. Two divisions of the US army should be urgently dispatched to the Shangganling area to increase the US military strength reserves in the Shangganling area.
"Now the situation has changed, if these two US divisions arrive in the Shangganling area, not only will they have an advantage in strength, but the artillery attached to these two divisions will also change the contrast between us and the enemy, which will be greatly detrimental to our counterattack operations!" said the commander-in-chief. "Commander-in-chief, I must say a word!" Liu Hai stood up and said, "The enemy opposite us is planning a full-front attack, if our counterattack can't start on time, once the other side starts attacking, we will be forced to switch to defensive operations!" "I've already thought about it, let's find a way to get them to delay the attack!" said the commander-in-chief. "Delay the attack?" Bangs were a little incredulous: "How can we let the enemy delay the attack?" "It's easy!" The commander-in-chief said: "We only need to launch a tactical offensive in the west!" That's why I called you! ”
"The Americans have been frightened by our tactics of flanking attacks interspersed with roundabouts, as long as we launch a tactical attack in the west, it will definitely make the Americans delay the attack, and I have already thought of the location of the tactical attack, which is on the 391 Heights in the west! As long as we occupy this place, we can follow Highway 5 in the west to the south to the enemy's flank in the Shangganling area, and the Americans will definitely suspend the offensive and send those two divisions to the west to strengthen the defense of the area," said the commander-in-chief, "I have decided to let you command this tactical counterattack!" "Me?" Liu Hai asked with some doubts, he is now the commander-in-chief of artillery, although the plan has been formulated, there is still a lot of preparation work before the counterattack.
"The reason for letting you go is that the troops over there are limited, but there are two artillery regiments of ours and two artillery regiments of North Korea, and my intention is that you go and use the four artillery regiments there to make full use of these four artillery regiments to attract the attention of the American army!" The commander-in-chief said, "It must be fought beautifully, so that the Americans hurt, in order to work!" ”
