Wells' Counterattack (2)
"Mr. Colonel, the other party did not open fire, nor did he get the reconnaissance information of the artillery reconnaissance plane, what should we fight?" The artillery regiment staff officer asked. "The main role of artillery is to support infantry operations, cover the attack or retreat, artillery battles are only occasional, and now that the attack has failed, of course we are going to shell the enemy's positions!" Colonel Wells said. "Yes!" The staff officer of the artillery regiment said. "Wait a minute, don't attack for more than ten minutes!" Wells said. "Why? We usually attack for twenty minutes! The staff officer said. But my order is ten minutes! Colonel Wells looked at the staff officer and said, "Are you going to disobey my orders?" "Of course not, sir!" The staff officer hurriedly said.
"Colonel Wells!" Cowan came to the command post in Wells. "Master Cowen, I'm really going to call you!" Colonel Wells said immediately when he saw Commander Cowen. "Isn't our target the enemy's artillery? Besides, we are not attacking now, what do you mean by firing now? Master Cowen asked. Are you questioning me? Teacher Cowen? Colonel Wells asked. Of course not! "I'm just thinking about the cooperation between us, and in order to better cooperate with you, I must know your intentions!" Master Cowen said. Very simple! Colonel Wells said, "We need to follow the procedure first, so that the other side cannot find out our intentions, for example, according to our habits, we should now open artillery to cover the retreat of the troops who failed the attack, and then let the other side know that we will attack again, and the next time we attack again, their artillery fire will be blocked, and then we will naturally know their artillery position!" And you need a little skill when attacking! ”
"Reorganize the offensive, order the 3rd Tank Company to cooperate with the South Korean Army in the attack, and tell the tank crews to fight harder! In addition, let the attack density of those South Korean soldiers be a little larger, preferably the density that can kill dozens of them with a single shot! "Cowan has the next attack on his staff." Got it! The staff officer said. In accordance with Cowen's order, the US tank crews began to fire artillery when the charge was launched, and launched an attack on the No. 6 position with a rumbling sound of artillery all the way.
"Damn, I'm taking gunpowder!" Liu Xiaoshan lay in the trench and watched the South Korean soldiers and American tanks rushing up, and pounced on him and cursed. "Brigade commander, look at the formation of the South Korean Army, if you let the artillery fire a few rounds, you can kill at least half of them!" The staff officer next to him said. "yes, this pile, isn't this looking for death?" Liu Xiaoshan looked at the South Korean soldiers who rushed up in a group and said, "Tell the ghost cannon, let him stop sleeping, and shoot a few shots!" "Yes, Brigadier!" The staff officer ran out excitedly, and seemed to see those South Korean troops who had been bombed on their backs!
"Fuck, I'm looking for death!" The ghost artillery looked at the American tanks in front of the position and the South Korean troops in a group with binoculars and said, "This is simply the credit of the door, tell the artillery platoons to concentrate on bombarding their infantry, as for the tanks, this regiment will personally clean up!" "Yes!" The communicator of the ghost artillery picked up the walkie-talkie and began to give orders, and the artillery regiment of the ghost artillery began to shoot, and the ghost artillery personally operated a cannon and began to fire at a long distance at the US tanks that rushed up. As the ghost artillery thought, after a few shots, the South Korean troops in a group were killed and wounded innumerable, almost a dozen or dozens of South Korean troops could be killed and injured with a single shot, and the ghost artillery also knocked out two tanks, so it can be said that the effect of the artillery bombardment is super good!
"The enemy has opened fire!" Colonel Wells' staff officer hurriedly reported. "Great, order the artillery reconnaissance plane to locate the enemy's artillery group immediately and send the position back!" Wells said happily. Before the battle began, Colonel Wells ordered the artillery reconnaissance plane to be dispatched in advance, concealed in the high altitude of the area he selected, and once the volunteers opened fire, they immediately descended to the altitude for reconnaissance, and descended to the altitude as quickly as possible to locate and report, so that they could counterattack at the fastest speed. But what he didn't expect was that the ghost artillery placed its artillery behind the position, and it was still scattered, and the Americans' artillery reconnaissance planes flew back and forth twice, and they didn't even find a place where smoke was coming from.
"It can't be!" Wells looked at the map for a long time and said, "They were firing five minutes ago, and even a cannon can't be transferred so quickly, and there is no trace at all!" "Mr. Colonel, what now?" "Notify the artillery reconnaissance planes, conduct a comprehensive reconnaissance, notify the commander of the Cowen division, and make an all-out attack on position No. 6, first attack with the South Korean army, let our army follow later, and when they rush up, they will be covered by artillery, so that if they don't want to lose their position, they must open artillery to block the attacking troops behind, so that they will definitely be discovered!" Colonel Wells said. "Yes! I'm going to inform Mr. Cowen right away! The staff officer said.
"What is this Wells doing?" Master Cowen said dissatisfied. "Then do we still cooperate with him now?" Cowen's staff officer asked. "Do what he says, if you don't knock out the Chinese artillery, the morale of our UN army will be finished!" Cowan said. "Yes, sir, I'll tell the troops to get ready for an attack right away!" The staff officer said. "Right now! Go," Cowan said.
"Boom!" Explosions sounded again on position No. 6, and the volunteers who had just entered the position to block the attack were shelled. "! Here we go again! Liu Xiaoshan looked at the fire that exploded on the position, and immediately said, "Withdraw the position!" "Brigade commander, those South Korean troops have already rushed up, and now that they have withdrawn their positions, won't they lose their positions?" The staff officer said anxiously. "Lao Tzu's soldiers are all elite, and they can't let Lao Mei's artillery collapse together with those few South Korean troops!" Liu Xiaoshan said, "Inform the ghost artillery, the artillery fire covers the position, and the troops behind are blocked and shot, and when his artillery is finished, we are rushing up to recapture the position!" Now I don't have the same knowledge as them! "Yes!"
"Fire!" The ghost artillery gave the order to open fire, and the South Korean army, which had already rushed to the position, was instantly covered by the artillery fire of the Chinese and American armies, and was killed and wounded in less than ten minutes. Immediately after that, the ghost artillery turned its muzzle and opened fire on the American troops who were climbing up the position, and Liu Xiaoshan led his troops to launch a counterattack, recaptured the position before the American army, and repelled the American troops who followed behind.
"Why do I feel a little wrong with these two attacks!" Bangs said, looking at the map. "I also feel that something is wrong, isn't this just a clear plan to let the South Korean army come up and send them to death?" The staff officer next to him said. "Even if it's a dog, it won't let him die in vain, the Americans must have some purpose in doing this, I don't think their purpose is the sixth position!" Bangs pondered. "Just now, a few US planes flew back and forth several times, I don't know what they were looking for?" Another staff officer said. "Airplanes?" Bangs drew back and forth on the map a few times, and it suddenly occurred to me that the planes of the Americans were definitely looking for their own artillery positions near the positions! They have just shelled the positions of the American troops on all fronts, and the Americans are now trying to find their own artillery positions.
"How's it going on the ground now?" Bangs asked, looking at his staff officer. "Forty minutes ago, the U.S. Army and the South Korean Army launched a second attack, in order to reduce casualties, Brigade Commander Liu took the initiative to withdraw from the position, and asked for artillery coverage, and Brigade Commander Liu had recaptured the position twenty minutes ago!" The staff report said. "Artillery coverage?" Liu Hai felt that something was not right, and now at this time, it was not clear that the US military had discovered the position of the ghost artillery. "Brigade commander, it should be fine, the artillery of the ghost regiment commander is scattered and configured, with a platoon as a unit, even if the US army counterattacks, it is impossible to cause big losses!" The staff officer next to him said. "You're right, but the U.S. military has planes, they can send planes to bomb these scattered guns, our air defense is insufficient, and a gun platoon with a larger platoon will blow up one one!" Bangs said, "Tell the ghost cannon and transfer it immediately!" ”
"These cunning Chinese!" After analyzing the intelligence transmitted by Wells from the artillery reconnaissance plane, he finally understood why the artillery reconnaissance plane did not find the opponent's artillery position just now, it turned out to be scattered and arranged, and it was still next to the opponent's main position, and it was really not in the area he had drawn. Judging from the strength of their artillery counterattack just now, that is, the artillery strength of a regiment, divided into such a spread, it is probably a platoon of artillery at one point!
"Give all these coordinate points to the artillerymen, let them attack one point with a company's artillery, and be sure to inflict heavy damage on the artillery of position No. 6!" Wells gave the order to open fire. Wells's speed was indeed very fast, just when Wells gave the order to open fire, the ghost cannon also received the order to transfer, and began to transfer without hesitation, just halfway through the retreat, Wells's cannon came over. Although the artillery of the ghost cannon retreated quickly, it still suffered some losses, which made the ghost cannon scream.
The situation of the loss of the ghost artillery was quickly reported back to the division headquarters, and after Liu Hai learned that the ghost artillery suffered losses, he felt that the other party was a master, and from the beginning he was tempting the ghost artillery to fire, with the cooperation of the artillery reconnaissance aircraft and the ground attack troops, and then concentrated firepower to attack his own artillery.
"Tell the ghost cannon to wait for the enemy's shelling to finish and then return to his original position!" Bangs said, "Since you're a master, let's see who's higher!" ”
