Flank Landing (3)

Liu Hai looked at the map carefully, thinking about where the Americans would land, judging from the situation reported now, the current landing sites of the Americans do not seem to be real landing sites, either the terrain is not suitable, or they cannot carry out large-scale landings, and the landing force must be at least one regiment, otherwise the small number of people will not work, it can be seen that the landing of the Americans has not really begun! However, it is necessary to determine where the Americans landed, otherwise they will be very passive. While Liu Hai was racking his brains, a piece of information came, and the two cruisers of the Americans headed for the Red Dragon Cliff to the north.

"Is the Red Dragon Cliff a cliff?" Bangs asked. "Yes, it's a cliff there, let alone landing, it's a good place to jump off the cliff!" Chief of Staff Choi said. "That's it!" Liu Hai said, "Order the division and the patrol artillery team in the north to go, prepare to resist the landing, no matter how big the sacrifice, resolutely block the landing operation of the American army!" "Yes!" Chief of Staff Cui originally wanted to ask why he thought that the Red Dragon Cliff would be the landing site of the US army, but he didn't ask when the words came to his lips, and just ran out to convey the order!

The division commander of the People's Army in the north did not believe it very much, he knew that the Red Dragon Cliff was a place to commit suicide, and landing, unless the Americans had water in their brains! But the order had to be carried out, but the KPA division commander, who was a little skeptical, sent a telegram to the KPA headquarters, and then led the whole division to the Red Dragon Cliff. When he arrived at the Red Dragon Cliff, he saw more than a dozen landing ships of the Americans heading towards the Red Dragon Cliff. "Division commander, headquarters telegram!" The correspondent brought the telegram and showed it to the division commander. The division commander reluctantly picked up the telegram, thinking in his heart that if the telegram didn't let him go, it would be too fucked! As a result, when I opened it, it was full of reprimands, asking the division commander to completely obey the orders of Division Commander Liu, even if he let him die, he would not hesitate to carry it out, and by the way, he would remember that the whole division was a big one!

"Order the troops to deploy and prepare to fight!" The division commander crumpled the telegram and ordered. Because the terrain of the Red Dragon Cliff is very high, the People's Army of each company is naturally prepared to condescendingly attack the landed US troops, but at this time, the US military reconnaissance planes in the sky discovered the KPA that rushed to the ground and reported the situation of the KPA to the fleet, and the two US cruisers aimed their cannons of more than 200 mm at the Red Dragon Cliff, and the naval guns were so powerful that they almost covered the top of the Red Dragon Cliff, and the KPA troops on the top of the cliff were immediately killed and wounded everywhere, and the US landing ships took the opportunity to send the troops ashore! "Hold it at any cost, increase the number of troops and fortify, and tell everyone that our patrol artillery team will be here soon!" said the division commander of the People's Army. "Division commander, what does the enemy not know what he is doing on the rocks that came out of the road a section ago?" "Whatever they're doing, get someone down and kill them!" The division commander shouted.

On the orders of the division commander, a battalion of KPA rushed out of the Red Dragon Cliff and launched a surprise attack on that large protruding rock. After the attack was launched, the division commander of the People's Army understood what the Americans wanted to do, because after the attack was launched, the surrounding US troops did not care about the landing and hurried to reinforcements! "Is a broken rock worth the Americans' desperate efforts?" The division commander carefully observed the situation of the US military and immediately understood. The Americans wanted to build an improvised dock and then rely on this improvised dock to carry out heavy equipment ashore. "This American really has an idea, he actually wants to build a dock here, and tells the commander of the third battalion that he must drive the enemy off the reef and not let the enemy build a dock!" The division commander of the KPA shouted. "Understood!" The messenger passed on the order of the division commander, and the commander of the third battalion immediately increased the intensity of the attack, but the Americans did not give in, and the two sides started a fierce battle around that reef!

"Division commander, the patrol artillery team is here!" A staff officer shouted. "Great!" The division commander of the KPA hurriedly ran to the patrol artillery team. "You guys came too soon, hurry up and knock out the US landing craft on the shore, the machine gun fire on it is too fierce, he suppressed our people!" The teacher shouted. "No problem, we'll kill them right away!" The captain of the patrol artillery team said, "Tell someone to observe the target, indicate the position!" "Yes!" After the people of the artillery reconnaissance team agreed, they led people out! Lying on the Red Dragon Cliff, the artillery reconnaissance team found the US landing craft parked under the cliff, and the machine guns on the boat were firing at the KPA attacking the reef, and about two companies of KPA were suppressed!

"Fire!" The patrol artillery team fired, although the patrol artillery team only had a few guns, but these few guns were enough to hit a few landing craft! After the shells flew over, they hit several landing craft, and the landing craft could not withstand the attack of the artillery, and several of the artillery planes were sunk, and those that did not sink were wounded, and the US landing force, which had temporarily lost its fire cover and was instantly attacked by the People's Army! Under the onslaught of a regiment of the People's Army, the US troops were somewhat unable to resist, and although the US troops had naval artillery fire support, they could not play a role in this kind of hand-to-hand combat!

"Fight too well, take advantage of the enemy's loss of firepower, immediately throw into a counter-assault, and take the Americans into the sea!" The division commander saw through the binoculars that the landing craft of the Americans had been destroyed, and hurriedly ordered the troops to step up the attack! The battalion commander of the third battalion knew that the opportunity could not be lost, and personally went into battle to lead the third battalion to rush to the death, although the American marines were very strong, but they could not parry such a dead rush, especially the bombardiers in the People's Army, they could throw it if they could, and those who were wounded directly rushed up with * and died together! Although the second batch of marines of the U.S. army had already sat on the landing craft, they had not yet made up a wave, so after the three battalions paid a heavy price, the battalion commander was injured, and the political commissar was sacrificed, the U.S. troops in the Red Dragon Cliff were finally cleared!

"Report, Division Commander Liu, the U.S. troops in Red Dragon Cliff have been beaten to the sea, and the patrol artillery team has also arrived, and now there is no danger over there!" Chief of Staff Cui ran over and said excitedly, "But the troops have suffered a lot of losses, and the three battalions of that regiment are almost dead!" "It's worth it to die a lot, but if you really let the Americans ashore, it's going to be troublesome!" Bangs said. "Will the Americans still land?" Chief of Staff Choi said. "It's hard to say, let all localities do a good job of patrolling, send a report to the headquarters of the People's Army, ask for reinforcements, and artillery, otherwise it will be difficult to say if the Americans come again!" Liu Hai looked at the long coastline, and felt annoyed in his heart, this kind of coastal defense battle is too difficult to fight, and as soon as the enemy has a storm, he has to go out on all fronts, and he is worried!

"This time it was lucky, very lucky, if it was found out a little later and the Americans went ashore, it would be troublesome! Now reinforcements must be sent, three or four divisions, and at least two regiments of artillery, otherwise no one can guarantee that they will not land again! "Liu Hai yelled at the chief of the general staff of the People's Army on the phone!" Our troops are still repairing, the losses of artillery are not small, it will take time to replenish and trim! "said the chief of staff of the KPA. If you can agree, it is best, if you don't, I will directly report to Comrade Kim Il Sung, if something happens to Wonsan Port, you can go to the prisoner of war camp to rest slowly! "Bangs threw away the phone!

"Chairman Kim Il Sung!" Chief of Staff Choe ran directly to the headquarters and met Kim Il Sung at a strong request! "Chairman Kim Il Sung, we are in urgent need of reinforcements for the defense of Wonsan Port, the Americans are expanding the landing area, if there are not enough troops and artillery, the long coastline is the enemy's landing point, if there is another landing like Incheon, we will be finished!" Chief of Staff Cui said anxiously. "Aren't there reinforcements already being sent?" Kim Il Sung stood up instantly, Kim Il Sung already had a psychological shadow about the word landing, and when he heard that Wonsan had something to do, he stood up! "It's not enough, it's not enough, the Americans' reconnaissance range on the opposite shore has been expanded to 100 kilometers, and the existing forces on such a long coastline are simply not enough, and Division Commander Liu's opinion is that at least two or three divisions of troops and two regiments of artillery are needed!" "Then go ahead and do it immediately, let the Second Army stop resting, and make every effort to reinforce Wonsan Port, all under the command of General Liu Hai!" Kim Il Sung slapped the table and shouted!

"Not enough! It's simply not enough! Liu Hai looked at the establishment table of the Second Army and said. Division Commander Liu, but the Second Army has all arrived! "Chief of Staff Cui didn't expect that Liu Hai couldn't say enough!" The Second Army Corps suffered too many combat losses in the previous period, although there were still enough soldiers, but there were not many artillery, and there were not a few heavy artillery, all of them were 100-millimeter cannons, this kind of artillery attack was still usable, and it was useless for sea defense at all, plus their cars and cars also suffered serious losses, and there were simply not enough cars to pull the artillery and maneuver! Liu Hai thought for a moment, "Is there still your People's Army around here?" "There is also a unit that is just a new recruit, all of which have just been converted into the People's Army by local troops, and there are about one and a half divisions, but the combat effectiveness is not as good as a regiment!" Chief of Staff Choi said. "One counts one, call them all! You can recharge even if you can't fight! Bangs said. Be! ”

"Their forces are still insufficient!" The commander of the US task force looked at the battle report and said, "Judging from their situation, their strength is still insufficient, and if we can carry out a landing and roundabout operation in two places at the same time, they will definitely have no choice!" "Is there a suitable location?" The chief of staff asked. "Of course, there is an inconspicuous sandy beach fifty kilometers north of Wonsan Port, which has just been discovered by the Air Force! It can accommodate at least one division of troops to land, but it is necessary to climb a mountain to see the road, and with our mechanical strength it is completely possible to carve out a rapid military road through tanks in a very short time, but before that, we need to make a scene in the south, enough to fool the Chinese and North Koreans! The commander of the U.S. task force said.
