Inspect Maleang Mountain
"Comrades, I'm back!" Liu Hai walked into his division headquarters, and as soon as he said hello, he found that several people from the ghost cannon were in their division headquarters with a bottle of wine, and they were scolding while drinking. "Fuck, you're using my division headquarters as a restaurant?" Liu Hai walked over, only to find that there was a bottle of Wuliangye on the table! "Where did you get that?" Bangs asked in surprise. "Hehe, this is given to us by the head of the last condolence group, just half a bottle, if you don't come back, it's gone!" Liu Xiaoshan picked up the bottle and poured it down, but it was gone! "I mean, why did you come to my division headquarters to drink!" The bangs used to pick it up and fell down again, and sure enough, it was gone! "We came to report to you, but you weren't there, so we had to wait here, just have a drink and wait for you to come back!" Ghost Cannon said. "Stand up, what's the situation to report!" Bangs kicked a few people up!
"We're done replenishing, ready to fight!" "It's the same with our regiment!" "Our independent brigade has also been replenished, and now it is fully equipped and ready to go into battle at any time!" Liu Xiaoshan said immediately. "Okay, I know, get out of here!" Bangs scolded. "Division Commander Liu, you are really strict in governing the army! It's just a bit of a warlord! A voice came from outside. Liu Hai turned his head and saw that it was General Chen Geng! "Chief, why are you here?" Bangs said with some surprise. "I originally planned to go to the front-line headquarters prepared for me by Mr. Peng first, but I think ah, it's better to go to the front line to inspect the site first, and I want to invite you to go with me!" General Chen Geng said. "That's right, I'm sorry, these guys I'm not rebelling anymore, I'm making you laugh!" Bangs said.
"Counselor Chen? Hey, isn't this Chen Counselor? Wu Fatzi pointed at General Chen Geng and said, "Ghost cannon, look, isn't this Staff Officer Chen?" "Yes, yes, I heard that he was the one who carried Chiang Kai-shek out of Lin Hu's encirclement!" Ghost Cannon also said. "Bastard!" Liu Hai hurriedly scolded, "This is General Chen Geng, deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, salute!" "Hello Chief!" The two of them saluted and said. "You two know me?" Chen Geng asked in surprise. "You forgot? When Chen Jiongming was in the Eastern Expedition, you were an operational staff officer, and when we made a mistake, you ordered us to beat our military stick! Wu Fatzi said. Oh, who are you, haha, I remember, because you're alone, you even seem to have been beaten with a military stick, right? General Chen Geng said. Yeah! And me, I'm also affected by this kid! Ghost Cannon also said. Do you really know them? "Bangs are quite surprised!" It's been a long time! General Chen Geng said.
"Hehe, it looks like the two of us are quite related! These two soldiers are your commanders? General Chen Geng said. But no, I was the supervisor of the artillery regiment during the five anti-encirclement and suppression, and the two of them were battalion commanders, soldiers, commander, your military stick was not beaten hard enough, if it hurt, they should not be like this now! Bangs said. It's not light! The revolutionary army's method of sitting together, hundreds of sticks will go up, and to change a person you have to change your thinking, otherwise it will be useless to beat you to death, let's say you, if you don't change your thinking, will you throw yourself into the revolution? General Chen Geng said. You're right, but I'm afraid it's not easy to reform, but it's okay, just use it first if you're obedient, and when you're done fighting, send them to study and learn! Bangs said.
"I'm coming to you, I want you to go to the front line to inspect it, since we have now entered a stalemate stage, so according to Chairman Mao's instructions, we will focus on positional warfare in the future, and it will not work without artillery at that time, and you are the commander of a well-known synthetic artillery division, so I want to ask you to inspect and inspect with me, and formulate strategies and tactics according to the specific situation!" General Chen Geng said. "This, you also think too highly of me, this is a strategic level of formulation, I am just a division commander!" Bangs said. "You can't say that, we are now, the largest artillery system is at the division level, if we build it well in the future, we will also have an artillery group army like the big brother of the Soviet Union, and there will also be an artillery marshal, and your division commander Liu has a bright future!" General Chen Geng said. "You are too awarded, I originally wanted to be a teacher after the war and get a salary to live, but I didn't expect to fight the United States again, and when the war in North Korea is over, I will go back to be a teacher, with my background, the marshal has no hope!" Bangs said. "I said Senior Commander Liu, don't keep using the past to block yourself, according to what you say, you said that I saved Chiang Kai-shek at the beginning, should I be pulled out and killed! Hahaha! General Chen Geng said.
"Chief of Staff!" Liu Hai called his chief of staff over, "In the future, these guys are not allowed to come to the division headquarters to fool around, is there any military law?" "Divisional commander, who can afford to mess with those uncles!" said the chief of staff. "If you come again, you will shoot it directly, and just say that I will allow it!" Liu Hai said, "I want to accompany General Chen Geng to the front line to inspect, you have a good look!" "Don't worry, I'll be sure to look at home!" "That's right! You tell those guys to get ready, and when I come back from my inspection, we'll be on the front!" Liu Hai said, "Don't you have to be ready to move forward, by the way, there are so many of us in the division headquarters, we should streamline it, don't have so many people, just leave the staff and communication company!" "Yes!"
"Let's go to Maleangshan on the Western Front first, it's relatively high, so let's start with my idea!" Chen Geng said, "Senior Commander Liu, have you ever heard of tunnel warfare? "Nope!" Bangs said. "That is a kind of warfare created by the guerrillas in the Jizhong Plain, using the tunnel and the enemy around, at the beginning the tunnel is relatively simple, under the enemy's flooded poison gas attack, the loss is very large, but later after improvement, the tunnel is transformed very advanced, not only can be waterproof and anti-poison, the most important thing is that it can also hit the enemy, the Japanese did not suffer less in this method of warfare, and now we are not in a stalemate with the Americans? I want to use this method of warfare here, to be able to defend and walk, and to combine tunnel warfare with guerrilla warfare and ambush warfare to fulfill the chairman's instructions! Chen Geng said what he thought. Tunnel warfare? Bangs said, "Move the cannon underground as well?" "Yes!" General Chen Geng said, "Not only underground, but also on the ground, come up and down combined!" ”
While talking, the two of them arrived at Ma Liang Mountain, Ma Liang Mountain was garrisoned by the 191st Division of the Volunteer Army, and when Chen Geng and Liu Hai arrived at Ma Liang Mountain, the division commander Xie Zhengrong came out to receive them! "Hello Chief!" Xie Zhengrong came to salute! "Master Xie, we are old acquaintances, you are the Jinchaji Fourth Division, right?" Chen Geng said. "That's right, Chief! At that time, I was the head of the regiment! Xie Zhengrong said. I remember that during the Battle of the Hundred Regiments, Niangzi Pass was broken by you, right? Chen Geng said. That's right, chief, it's me! Master Xie said. You are guarding Maleang Mountain this time, what do you have to report! General Chen Geng walked towards the position. Opposite us are the 1st Division of the British and the famous 1st Division of the American Cavalry, both of which are well-known trump cards, crazy and boundless! Master Xie said, "Chief, you can take a look here!" ”
"What's wrong?" General Chen Geng asked. "The other side's artillery fire is very fierce, and it basically hits as soon as it shows its head! We will also fight back, but there are still not many means and tactics, especially this counterattack tactics under the premise of positional warfare! Xie Zhengrong said. In fact, after falling into a confrontation, the first thing is to be able to withstand the opponent's attack, and then counterattack appropriately, I am here to solve the problem of your defense, without a strong defense, where is the sharp counterattack! General Chen Geng said, "To put it bluntly, I came to see your fortifications!" "Our fortifications are all constructed of field fortifications with civil structures, sandbags and wood and mud together, and ordinary cannons have no way to cause destructive damage, but once they encounter a cannon of more than one or five or five millimeters, it will not work!" Xie Zhengrong said. "What Americans don't lack is artillery and aerial bombs!" General Chen Geng said.
Division Commander Xie Zhengrong accompanied Liu Hai and General Chen Geng to conduct a comprehensive inspection of the position of Ma Liang Mountain, General Chen Geng found that the geological structure here is the same as most areas of North Korea, and the underground fortifications are excavated, and the fortification structure of Ma Liang Mountain is still very reasonable, Division Commander Xie Zhengrong is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, and he has a lot of experience in the construction of fortifications, and the combination of forward positions and firepower and foxholes is also very distinctive, General Chen Geng is still very satisfied with the fortifications of Ma Liang Mountain, and Liu Hai is not deeply accomplished in this, Just feel admired! "Master Xie, your fortifications are still good, but they are not enough, first, your fortifications still have weaknesses, this weakness is still the enemy's strength, and second, your fortifications can only defend and not attack, which is not good! Because we and the Americans are likely to have a confrontation for a long time, we must create a new law! General Chen Geng said: "I mean, you must go deep into the ground and combine offense and defense!" ”
"In this way, Comrade Liu Hai, you transfer one of your artillery regiments to look for a suitable position in Maleangshan, and I'm here with Division Commander Xie to study the matter of building underground fortifications in Maleangshan, according to my inference, it is very likely that these British and Americans will launch a tactical-level attack on Maleangshan! My idea is to build underground fortifications on Maleang Mountain, combine it with your artillery, conduct an experiment, and if feasible, then spread it to the whole army! General Chen Geng said. Okay, I'll transfer Fat Wu's heavy artillery right away! Bangs said.
