Battle Cloud Overwhelm (2)
"Captain Palmer!" Walker looked at the tall American soldier in front of him, and couldn't help but nod in his heart, worthy of being the commander of the main regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division. "Please give the order, the 1st Cavalry Division will be invincible!" Palmer said proudly. "Excellent! The task I am going to give you today is to go and pick up Yunshan, prepare for the northward advance in place of the 1st Han Division, and according to General MacArthur's plan, we will end this war before Christmas! Walker said. Before Christmas, time is a little tight, I heard that the Chinese have already crossed the river, even if those yellow people can't fight, it is not easy to end the war before Christmas! "Although Palmer looks down on the Koreans and Chinese very much, he is still a little skeptical about ending the war before Christmas!" Oh, General MacArthur estimated that there were only 30,000 to 50,000 Chinese crossing the river, they were poorly equipped and of poor quality, and they were of no use at all, please believe General MacArthur's prediction: let the children go home before Christmas! Walker said with a smile.
"Commander Palmer, I am the commander of the 1st Han Division, and I am ordered to engage you in defense!" The commander of the first division of Han habitually saluted, but the other party did not mean to return the salute at all. "From now on, we will take over the defense of Yunshan, not because of how powerful the Workers' Party is, but because you are too incompetent!" Palmer, commander of the 8th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division, said arrogantly. Although the commander of the First Han Division was very angry, he had no way to deal with these emperor-like US troops! "We are not incompetent, Your Excellency Regiment Commander, that is because the Chinese have crossed the river, and those Chinese are very strong in combat, you should also be careful!" The commander of the 1st Han Division said. "You yellows don't know how to fight at all!" Palmer said with great disdain. "Alright then, we can change guards at any time!" Han Yishi didn't want to say anything else!
"No! We have received an order that your 1st Han Division must regain the lost territory, for example, the sections north of Yunshan, which are all important areas of the northward advance, if you can't even do this, then what qualifications do you have to be helped by our United States of America! "Palmer commands!" But Mr. Regiment Commander, the opponent's combat strength is really terrifying, although we are tenacious, but we are no longer able to return to the sky, and I still hope that your troops will 。。。。。 The commander of the First Han Division said helplessly. I don't care, I only obey my superiors, you have to attack today, let me see if helping you is a waste of time! Palmer said stiffly. Alright then, I'll arrange the attack! The commander of the First Han Division said helplessly. Go ahead! Palmer's face was indifferent, and his eyes showed extreme contempt!
"Something is wrong with this!" The commander of the 188th Division looked at the South Korean Army in Unsan Fortress with a telescope. "Something is wrong!" Bangs said next to him: "These people look like they're going to retreat!" "Yes, but it shouldn't be, now they have the support of American devils and high morale, so they just withdrew?" The commander of the 188th Division said. "It's hard to say, these South Korean troops are all cowards, similar to the traitor army, they have no combat effectiveness and look down on their compatriots, these people basically scatter as soon as they do, run away as soon as they disperse, and die when they run!" Bangs said. "Let's report back to the commander, and then talk about the situation!" The commander of the 188th Division said. "Okay!" Bangs agreed. "Do you think we can win this time?" The commander of the 188th Division and Liu Hai rushed to the headquarters, and the commander of the 188th Division, who was somewhat uneasy on the way, said. "If it's just the South Korean Army, then it's still certain, but there are still Americans, and I haven't fought with the U.S. Army, but this time there is no choice, we must win, otherwise, I am afraid that we will be beaten back to the Yalu River!" So this time, we must establish a strong belief in daring to fight and win, and the spirit of charging without fear of sacrifice, and take Yunshan in one go! Bangs said resolutely.
"Don't worry, we'll win! The first is that they don't know how many of us came, and the second is that the South Korean army is really incompetent! Wu Xinquan said. I heard that the firepower of the US army is very strong! Liu Hai said, "In terms of firepower alone, the distance between us and the US army is still very large, the other side is large-caliber heavy artillery, although our artillery sounds a lot, but it is mainly 75 mm caliber American-made, Japanese-made mountain guns, the largest caliber artillery is a small number of American-made 155 mm guns; Each regiment has a mortar company and an infantry artillery company, each battalion has a mortar platoon, and each company has a sixty-mm mortar squad. The artillery below the regimental level is mainly Japanese-made Type 92 infantry guns and 15, 82, and 51-mm miscellaneous mortars, and a total of 198 large and small artillery pieces are equipped by a single army of the Chinese People's Volunteers. Most of these guns were captured in the War of Liberation, and most of them were "mule and horse artillery" except for a few that were pulled by automobiles. How can such a cannon be compared with others! It's the truth!
"The only thing I trust is our troops, we can completely destroy them, we didn't have a single cannon during the Anti-Japanese War, don't we come over the same!" Wu Xinquan patted Bang Hai's shoulder. "By the way, the South Korean army in Unsan City seems to be about to pull out, and we feel that the other side is going to run!" The commander of the 188th Division said. "What? If we didn't do anything, are they going to run? "Wu Xinquan was taken aback!" Report! The 1st Division of the enemy and South Korea is attacking our frontal defense line, and it seems that it is going to break through our resistance and send reinforcements to the north! "A staff officer came in and reported." Aren't they leaving? Resolutely resist, but not attacked, must wait until tomorrow! Wu Xinquan looked at us strangely after speaking, although he is not familiar with Liu Hai, but he is still very familiar with the 188th Division, at least he will not even be able to figure out whether the other party is attacking or defending! After the staff officer saluted, he ran out! "Need our help?" Bangs said. "No, you don't! You don't need your heavy artillery to fire such a few South Korean soldiers! Wu Xinquan said.
"Attack!" The South Korean officers urged the South Korean troops to rush forward, and the position they attacked was the main position of the 114th Division of the Chinese People's Volunteers. The 114th Division did not pay any attention to this kind of pediatric offensive battle, and after a few fights on the side, the South Korean Army ran back crying wolf! However, the bombing of the US Air Force caused the 114th Division to suffer a little loss, but soon the volunteers on the ground began to organize machine-gun fire in the air, successfully preventing the other side's approach bombing and forcing it to drop bombs at high altitudes, so that the accuracy was greatly reduced! After a few rounds of fighting, the South Korean troops in front said that they would not attack anything, and the commander of the 1st South Korean Division personally supervised the battle to no avail, and the troops who had no fighting spirit ran back in one go, and the commander of the 1st South Korean Division could not stop it at all! The only thing that made the commander of the 1st Han Division happy was that although his soldiers refused to attack, they still ran back to their original positions. Seeing that his soldiers did not run away, but returned to their original positions, he happily hurriedly ordered the cooking troops to distribute food to the troops!
"Are you pigs? They knocked you down with a few shots, useless yellow people! "Palmer is very angry at the South Korean army's desertion!" The enemy on the other side is too powerful for us to defeat at all, so if you think you can, you can go up and try it yourself! The commander of the 1st Han Division roared angrily, but why his troops retreated, he knew very well in his heart! Useless pigs! Palmer's face was blue with anger, but it was obvious that this division commander would never obey his command, so Palmer could only send a telegram to Lieutenant General Walker, commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, asking for instructions and asking for a change of guard with the enemy in Yunshan in advance! I'm okay with that, if you will! Walker said. Well, tomorrow they will be ordered to change their guards! Palmer said.
"That's not right! This time it's really leaving! The commander of the 188th Division looked at Yunshan City with a telescope and said. Yes! Look at this posture is really leaving! "Liu Hai also saw that many soldiers were packing and getting into the car, and many military vehicles were heading south!" No, the enemy has to run, and if the attack starts according to the original plan, the enemy will run out! The commander of the 188th Division said, "Let's go to the army commander and advance the general attack time by two hours!" "Good! I'll go back and arrange the shelling now, and you go to the commander to report back!" "Bangs also feel that it has to be like this! The commander of the 188th Division ran to report to Wu Xinquan, and after explaining the situation, Wu Xinquan agreed to advance the general attack time by two hours and immediately make artillery preparations!
"Comrades, although you have fought a few small battles before, now the real battle is about to begin!" Liu Hai said to his regimental commanders, "I now order the commander of the first regiment to prepare for artillery fire to Yunshan City in fifteen minutes, and the commander of the second regiment, Wu Fatzi, will carry out artillery bombardment on the high ground on the left side of Yunshan, the fire density should be large, and it should be fierce, so as to lay a good foundation for the attacking troops to attack!" "Yes!" After Wu Fatzi and the ghost cannon agreed, he turned around and ran back to his position to prepare for the shelling. "Commander, what are we going to do?" Zhao Qidong, the commander of the rocket artillery battalion, said with some dissatisfaction. "Your task is to be on standby, and you are not allowed to fire artillery without an order, but there is one requirement, that is, when you need to shell, if you can't hit the predetermined position, you will get out of my way, my Eighth Artillery Division will not leave artillery inaccurate!" Bangs said. "Please rest assured, as long as you give the order to open artillery, I guarantee that wherever you point, my artillery will hit!" Zhao Qidong said.
With Liu Hai's order, countless cannonballs roared into Yunshan City, and after a violent explosion, the charge horn sounded, and the attack on Yunshan began!
