Containment Attack (8)
"Commander-in-chief, Liu Hai's side has already attracted two divisions of the Americans to the side of 391!" The chief of staff reports to the commander-in-chief. "So fast?" The commander-in-chief said with some surprise: "Before the 391 Heights, the 19th Army fought for half a month and didn't defeat it?" "Commander-in-chief, this is the difference between people, that bangs are a high-achieving student who came back from studying in Germany, and he is the only one in our army!" said the chief of staff. "Yes, after the war is over, we also have to set up a school to train a group of military command talents like Liu Hai!" said the commander-in-chief. "That's not a sentence, I heard Liu Hai say that he went to Germany for three years and spent 200,000 oceans on him, if you want to train our commanders to be like him, I'm afraid you won't have to wear pants!" said the chief of staff. "When our country develops well in the future, we will have money, but if we want to have a good development environment, we must first have a good external environment, and if we want to have a good external environment, we must first win this group of United Nations forces!" said the commander-in-chief. "You're right, is it time to start fighting back against Shangganling?" The chief of staff asked.
"It's still a little bit closer, the Americans have gathered more than 60,000 people in the Shangganling area this time, so far, most of the troops we have eliminated in the defensive battle are the South Korean army, if we cannot effectively destroy the American troops, then our counterattack will not be effective, and we must move the Americans to the front!" said the commander-in-chief. "Then you mean how can you move the Americans to the front?" The chief of staff asked. "The Americans have always sent the South Koreans to charge, and when they pick up cheap and win the battle, the Americans will dispatch, this time I want to sell a flaw to the Americans, and it will take two days to prepare, but the Americans have a strong ability to maneuver, and those two divisions can rush over from the 391 Heights in half a day, so the Liu Hai side needs to hold on for another two days, even if we are ready and the counterattack begins, the 391 side needs to continue to drag the enemy, but when the time comes, the Liu Hai will be transferred back!" "In other words, the bangs need to be held at least for another three or nine days or two?" "That's right!"
The commander-in-chief, through the posture of both the enemy and us, discovered that the US military has two US regiments on the west side of Shangganling, and these two US regiments are the main attack forces on the west side of Shangganling, and if he can sell a flaw on the west side to attract the US troops to attack from the west, and then ambush forces to destroy these two regiments, then he can completely destroy the main force of the US army on the west side of Shangganling. However, if you want to destroy the two regiments of the US army, you need at least one army to ambush the troops, but now the Volunteer Army has only one 15th Army and 12th Army in Shangganling, and the operation of counterattacking and blocking the middle and east roads of Shangganling is already very reluctant, so it is necessary to mobilize new combat forces. The 33rd Army, which is subordinate to the Ninth Corps, has just completed its rest and needs two more days to complete the mobilization and campaign deployment, so it takes two days for the 391st direction to attract US troops.
"Two days?" Liu Hai looked at the order, and thought helplessly, now there are only so many people, the People's Army and the Volunteer Army together are less than one and a half regiments, withstanding the attack of two American divisions for two days, the commander-in-chief really looks up to me! But an order is an order, and Liu Hai still decided to carry out the order. "Tell the comrades of the People's Army to hold on for two more days and call our battalion commander!" Liu Hai said to the chief of staff of the People's Army. "Yes!" The staff officer said yes and ran out. After a while, the battalion commander of the Volunteer Army ran over. "Comrade battalion commander, we still have to defend for two more days, we can't rely on the People's Army alone, we need your cooperation!" Liu Hai said to the battalion commander. "Master Liu, what do you want me to do?" The battalion commander asked. "Now that the Americans are attacking, your task is to interfere with their offensive, or do you penetrate through that ditch and go to their rear to cause trouble, supply depots, artillery and convoys, so the soft targets that can be attacked are all your targets, understand?" Bangs said. "Yes!"
"Continuing the offensive, we can't just rely on those useless South Korean troops, we can do it ourselves!" The commander of the US military division said. "Do you want the South Korean army to withdraw from the fighting?" The division chief of staff asked. "Of course not, the South Korean Army will be split into company units and rushed in front of our attacking troops, and the number of people in one company will be enough for us to rush to the position!" The commander of the US military division said. "Okay, I got it!" said the chief of staff. "Also, this time I've developed a tactical fire attack!" The commander of the US division said, "Let the mortars support behind the shock troops, and then let the machine guns line up to suppress the enemy's positions with intensive firepower, and cooperate with the tanks to roll call the enemy's first-line machine guns, I don't believe that those KPA troops on the positions can stop it!" "Yes, I'll go and arrange the attack right away!" said the chief of staff of the US military.
"Battalion commander, why are there so many enemies?" The company commander of the Volunteer Army said as he looked at the US troops scattered all over the mountains. "What about two divisions of U.S. troops, can there be less?" The battalion commander said. "With so many enemies, it's hard for us to attack!" The company commander said. "Division Commander Liu said that we need to hold out for two more days, and we must find a way to make it impossible for the Americans to launch an attack within two days!" The battalion commander said. "Let the Americans have two days, there is no way to attack? So where are we going to fight? The company commander asked. The Americans have an indispensable preparation for the attack, that is, artillery preparation, find their shell storage warehouse, as long as their shells are blown up, no matter how many of them there are, they will not start fighting! The battalion commander said.
"The artillery of the Americans will not be too far away, because we do not have aerial reconnaissance and cannot find their artillery positions, so the artillery positions of the Americans generally do not have escort units, and even the storage of shells will not put too many people, and the number of shells of the Americans is by no means a minority, let alone the shells of two divisions of the American army!" The battalion commander said, "The soldiers are divided into three ways to search and reconnoiter along the highway, and as long as they find it, kill it!" The battalion commander said.
The battalion commander of the Volunteer Army was not wrong, this time the troops of the two divisions of the US army were all concentrated in 391, the artillery of the two divisions was also fighting in unison, and the corresponding US artillery shells were stored together, with the number of as high as 120,000 rounds, and the logistics units were still constantly replenished. The Americans relied too heavily on firepower superiority, and it was difficult for the huge artillery group and massive artillery shell storage to be hidden under the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance troops, but because the volunteers lacked the means of aerial reconnaissance, they could only dispatch reconnaissance units to conduct reconnaissance, so there were not many opportunities to find and attack the rear positions of the US troops.
"We have a total of four regiments of artillery strength, and our artillery tactics are like this" The chief of staff of the US army arranged his own planned artillery tactics to the commanders of the four artillery regiments" Two regiments blocked the rear of the 391 heights and cut off their supplementary channels, and then the remaining two regiments carried out conventional artillery bombardment, and after half an hour of shelling, our troops attacked, and at a normal speed, it only took ten minutes for us to reach outside their blocking line, at this time a regiment shelled the left flank of the 391 heights, One regiment shelled their right flank, the density of the shelling was too large, so that they had to concentrate on the center of the position, and after ten minutes, the two regiments concentrated their fire on their middle section, and destroyed their positional defense in large numbers, as long as we could cooperate well, we could take 391 in one fell swoop! "Yes!" Said the commanders of the four artillery regiments.
"Boom!" The shelling on the ground began again, although he was used to the shelling of the Americans, but Liu Hai could still see that this time the shelling was quite fierce, and the shelling lasted for half an hour before stopping. "It's the same old again!" The staff officer next to Bangs said. At this time, the KPA troops on the position ran out of the fortifications and artillery holes one after another, and entered the trenches to prepare to resist the enemy's attack! However, after a dozen minutes, the American artillery rang out again, and the artillery fire began to shift, turning to attack the positions on the left and right. "It's not good, tell the commander of the People's Army immediately, tell him not to concentrate in the middle, and withdraw the troops first, otherwise it will be over!" Bangs said as he looked at the flames that exploded on the position. "Yes!" The staff officer next to him immediately ran out. "Tell the artillery to immediately cover the area of 800 to 100 meters in front of the position, the Americans' artillery will not stop, and our artillery will not stop!" Bangs continued. "Yes!" Another staff officer ran out.
"Quick, get out of position!" After receiving Liu Hai's order, the commander of the People's Army hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw from their positions, and even so, the People's Army on the positions that received the order to retreat still suffered a lot of losses, but they finally withdrew. The artillery fire of the Americans quickly concentrated in the middle of the position, and there was a wild and indiscriminate bombardment, during which the artillery fire of the Volunteers and the People's Army also began to fire, blocking the offensive line of the Americans! After half an hour of artillery fire, the Americans stopped, and at the same time the artillery fire of the volunteers also stopped, and silence returned to the positions.
"It's too hanging!" The commander of the People's Legion looked at the artillery fire on the position, and his heart trembled, he was originally going to let the troops on the position concentrate in the middle, if that was the case, then there was really no one left! "Please tell me if Senior Commander Liu can return to the position now!" said the regimental commander of the KPA. "Yes!" The staff officer of the People's Army was about to call the headquarters to ask Liu Hai. "You can return to your position, the Americans will come up right away, tell them to report as soon as they confirm that the other side has launched an attack!" Bangs said. "Division Commander Liu, there is something I want to tell you," the staff officer next to him said, "We have no shells!" ”
