Yangwei Wonsan Port(2)
"Division Commander Liu, at such a long distance, I'm afraid it's enough to use this kind of heavy artillery!" Chief of Staff Choi reminds the bangs who are shaking the handle next to him! "I don't want to use such a big gun, but the cannon is not powerful enough to hit if it is small, after all, it is a warship, but with such a big cannon, your artillery can't operate this kind of long-distance and high-precision direct shooting, so I have to come by myself!" Bangs said as he waved his hand, "Load the shell!" "Yes!" The artilleryman next to him stuffed the shell into the chamber! Chief of Staff Choi didn't believe that this kind of cannon could be used in such a situation at all, so he picked up his binoculars and looked at the several minesweepers driving in on the sea! "Fire!" Liu Hai gave an order, and the artillery behind suddenly pulled the fire rope, and the cannon fired, and a 155 mm cannon shell flew out of the gun chamber and accurately hit a minesweeper in the front!
"Boom!" A bright light flashed on the minesweeper, and then a loud bang reached the shore, and Chief of Staff Cui saw it very clearly, the shell directly hit the superstructure of the minesweeper, and the huge shell tore open the hull and exploded after rushing in! Chief of Staff Cui couldn't close his mouth, and looked at the minesweeper that was hit, he couldn't believe that what he saw was real, the tonnage of the minesweeper was not large, and such a large shell hit directly, even if it didn't sink, the people on it were almost dead! "Blinded, definitely blinded!" Chief of Staff Cui said in disbelief. "Reload!" After the bangs took aim again, another shell hit another minesweeper!
Under the gaze of Chief of Staff Cui's wide-mouthed and wide-eyed gaze, Liu Hai used five shells to sink three and wound two of the five minesweepers of the US army, and escaped from the minesweeping waters in embarrassment! "After this, they should not dare to come for a while, and we will further strengthen the shore-based artillery defense in the next step, but we should take those two small islands first... Liu Hai suddenly saw Chief of Staff Cui, and looked at himself like a ghost, and asked strangely, "Chief of Staff Cui, are you injured?" "Liu, Master Liu, how did you do this?" Chief of Staff Cui stammered. "You said that the guns just now, that one is called heavy artillery long-distance point fire, it is an advanced artillery course, ordinary people have not received such training, in fact, it is nothing!" Bangs said with a smile. "Master Liu, I'm sorry I doubted you just now, I now understand that I was wrong! Really wrong! Chief of Staff Cui saluted and said.
"Chief of Staff Cui!" , Liu Hai and Chief of Staff Cui had just returned to the command headquarters, and there was a loud shout from inside! "Lieutenant General Wu Ting!" Chief of Staff Cui hurriedly ran over to salute! "Chief of Staff Choe, I am here to reprimand you on behalf of Supreme Leader Comrade Kim Il Sung!" Lieutenant General Wu Ting had an angry face! "Yes!" Chief of Staff Cui didn't dare to take a sip of the atmosphere! "Tell you, Comrade Liu Hai is the best artillery commander in the Volunteer Army, you dare to question him, tell you, now all the troops in Wonsan Port are under the command of Division Commander Liu, if anyone does not obey the order" Lieutenant General Wu Ting turned around "Division Commander Liu, our Comrade Kim Il Sung authorized you to have the right to enforce battlefield discipline against any personnel in Wonsan Port!" "Okay!" Liu Hai didn't know that Chief of Staff Cui sent a telegram to replace himself, so he had to answer casually.
"Comrade Liuhai, the lessons of the Incheon landing have already caused us unprecedented losses, this time the defense of Wonsan Port, Comrade Kim Il Sung attaches great importance to it, Chief of Staff Choe's request to remove you makes Comrade Kim Il Sung very worried about your difficulties in command, so he specially sent me over to announce your appointment!" Lieutenant General Wu Ting said. "Let Comrade Kim Il Sung bother! I will definitely hold Wonsan Port and not let the Incheon landing repeat! Bangs said. That's great, I thank you on behalf of the KPA! Lieutenant General Wu Ting said. Be! Liu Hai said, "There is one more thing, can you help me find a few boats, I plan to take back the two small islands in front, otherwise the defense will be too passive!" "Chief of Staff Cui!" Lieutenant General Wu Ting shouted, "I order you to do what Division Commander Liu asks, if you can't do it, Division Commander Liu has the right to shoot you!" "Yes!" Chief of Staff Cui immediately said, "I will definitely complete the task, and I will take this opportunity to apologize to Division Commander Liu!" ”
"You see, these two small islands are exactly at the corner of the embankment on both sides of Wonsan Port, and they are the outposts guarding Wonsan Port, but once the Americans occupy them, they can directly command planes and warships to guide and attack us, and all the initiative will become passive, which is extremely unfavorable to our defense, so we must take it back as soon as possible!" Liu Hai said to Chief of Staff Cui and several other staff officers. "We still need some preparations, after all, this is an amphibious landing operation, we only have ships and people, artillery cover on the opposite shore, landing and artillery fire arrangements, and the most important thing is that our artillery is not yet able to effectively and accurately reinforce the landing battle!" A staff officer said. "Your task is to arrange for personnel and ships to land, and I will be responsible for the artillery cover!" Bangs said. "It's not easy, after all, it's such a long distance, and the two islands are not big, in case the artillery fire accidentally injures the landing troops... The other staff officer asked, a little worried. "Shut up!" Chief of Staff Cui shouted: "Do what Division Commander Liu ordered!" "Yes!" Several staff officers hurriedly replied.
"Chief of Staff Cui, the current situation is very serious, and the island must be recaptured within two days!" Bangs said. "Division Commander Liu, it will take a few days for us to dispatch troops and organize the landing, if we are too hasty... Be! "Chief of Staff Cui was going to say something, but after thinking about it, he still didn't finish it!" Chief of Staff Cui, you have confidence in me now! Liu Hai looked at Chief of Staff Cui and asked. To tell you the truth, Commander Liu, I am also an artilleryman, but I have never seen anyone who can shoot at that distance with heavy artillery, and it is so accurate! Chief of Staff Cui said solemnly: "You just say that you can hit the United States with one shot, and I believe it!" "Huh!" Liu Hai looked at Chief of Staff Cui and didn't say anything!
"Everyone!" Vice Admiral Guise, commander of the US Seventh Fleet, said to his group of officers: "Now that the land war has reached a stalemate, and the Chinese at the negotiating table do not give in at all, we need to break this stalemate now!" "General, we can land at Inchon again and directly cut off their back route!" Said a major general. "Not this time!" Lieutenant General Guise said, "The port of Incheon is actually very unsuitable for landing operations, and if you list all the conditions that are not conducive to the landing, the port of Incheon has all of them!" The last time MacArthur did just do something that no one else would do, and he won by surprise, and there was only one such condition, and there was no more! "You mean we only have Wonsan Port to consider?" Said another major general. "Yes!" Vice Admiral Guise said, "I have only one request now, to clear the * outside Wonsan Port within three days, as long as it can be cleared*, those Asian artillery will not be able to stop our fleet at all!" "Understood!"
"Division Commander Liu, the landing force is ready, which island should we attack first?" Chief of Staff Choi said. Liu Hai didn't expect that Chief of Staff Cui would be prepared in just one day! "Let's attack the island on the left first, I'm going to the artillery position, you and I will go!" Bangs said. "Yes! Master Liu! Chief of Staff Choi replied immediately. Liu Hai took Chief of Staff Choi to the artillery position on the left flank of Wonsan Port! "Your artillery positions are not good, the distance between the guns is too small, and the guns of the warships are of a large caliber, so in this case, one shot can knock out three of your guns!" Liu Hai took a look at the artillery positions of the North Korean army and gave his opinion! "Division Commander Liu, the defense of the sea requires cluster firepower... Be! Chief of Staff Cui replied immediately. I'll help them adjust the angle of the shelling when the time comes! Bangs said. So when do we attack? Chief of Staff Cui asked. Tonight! Bangs said: "There is no problem with the attack troops, right?" "There is no problem with the troops, they are all veterans, and they are very skilled in night combat and close combat, but the artillery support at night... Be! Chief of Staff Cui said.
"Our plan tomorrow is to eliminate the defensive artillery fire of Wonsan Port, and then drive into the minesweeper to carry out minesweeping!" Rafais, commander of the First Detachment of the US Seventh Fleet, said. "There is no problem with this, we have already occupied two small islands outside the harbor, as soon as their artillery fire is fired, the observation posts on the islands can guide us to attack targets, as long as their artillery is gone, plus they do not have an air force, our minesweepers can clear in a day * and open the way for the fleet!" Said the captain of the destroyer. "Good! As long as their artillery is eliminated, our minesweeper brigade will have no problem, but I will state that if you fail to provide effective cover as you did last time, and cause heavy losses to my minesweeper brigade, if there is another time, I will definitely be removed, but you will be court-martialed! "The captain of the minesweeper brigade of the US army is obsessed with the last loss!" Don't worry, it won't be this time! Said the destroyer captain.
"Now all the artillerymen are obeying my orders, and I will provide you with the shelling angles one by one!" Liu Hai looked at the prepared communication soldiers around him, and then used a ruler to make careful calculations on the map, wrote down the angle and height data on the paper, and then noted in detail the amount of angle adjusted after the order! The reason why it is so difficult is because the quality of these artillery in the DPRK is too poor, and they will only shoot in clusters, which is beneficial for striking sea targets, but it is very easy to expose the target, especially under the condition that the other side has air supremacy, once it is discovered, it means that it will be eliminated, so Liu Hai has to do so! When Liu Hai's order was passed down, two companies of the Korean People's Army, which had already been prepared, boarded the island on the left flank by boat!
