Pre-war meetings
Since the two armies deployed on the western front of Shangganling had already arrived at the designated position, the battle on the 391 Heights was over. Liu Hai returned to the headquarters of the Volunteer Army to participate in the pre-war meeting of the upcoming counterattack war. By the time they arrived at the headquarters of the Volunteer Army, the commander of the 15th Army, the commander of the 12th Army, and Minister Hong had already arrived, and finally the commander-in-chief had also arrived.
"Comrades, we have been fighting with the Americans in Shangganling for more than a month, and we have killed thousands of people in this month, not including the casualties of the People's Army, and now the time is ripe, we are going to counterattack, before announcing the battle plan, my request to you is that we must fight this battle well, and if we succeed in counterattacking, we can not only win the battle, but also force the Americans to end the war and achieve peace!" The commander-in-chief looked at the commander below solemnly and said. "Commander-in-chief, just tell me how to fight, right? This is the worst battle I've ever fought since I became a soldier! The commander of the 15th Army, Qin said, "My soldiers were not killed, they were all killed by shells, and they were blown up. "Commander-in-chief, Commander Qin is right, my soldiers are similar, they were all killed by artillery, but we can only hold on to the position and be bombarded! It's finally time to fight back, commander-in-chief, just look at it! The commander of the Twelfth Army also said.
"I know that you have been choked by the Americans for more than a month, but there is no way, we can only hold on for the time being!" The commander-in-chief listened to the words of the two army commanders and said, "But now it is different, the time is ripe for us to counterattack, and we have made sufficient preparations, we have prepared five artillery divisions alone, three rocket artillery divisions, plus various heavy mortars, a total of thousands of artillery, and most importantly, the commander of the artillery is our artillery god bang, I believe that with his command, our more than 1,000 artillery pieces can play the effect of 2,000 guns!" The commander-in-chief looked at the bangs. Rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, I will bring out the best in all the artillery! Bangs stood up and said.
"Now let me first introduce the overall situation in the Shangganling area!" The commander-in-chief pointed to the battle line on the map and said, "The main peak of Shangganling, 537.7, and 539.9 have all fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the surrounding side heights, in addition to the tunnel troops, the No. 1, No. 5, No. 8, No. 11, and No. 14 heights have all fallen into the hands of the enemy, Commander Qin!" "Here!" Commander Qin stood up. "How many people are left in your army?" The commander-in-chief asked. "We've gone through a few additions and patchwork, and now we still have eleven companies to fight back!" Commander Qin said. Commander Qin's words surprised everyone, after supplementation and patchwork, there were only eleven companies, and that was a main force!
"Eleven companies?" The commander-in-chief thought for a moment and said, "Can your eleven companies take back the 537.7 heights?" "Honestly, if the artillery can be in place and we are given strong support, we can take it back! However, after the Americans occupied the 537.7 heights, they immediately transferred the engineer battalion and the ROK army's labor battalion to repair the fortifications day and night, building more than 70 permanent firepower points and deploying 14 recoilless guns and 65 heavy machine guns, thus forming a complete firepower system. When the commander of the fifteenth army said this, he turned his head and glanced at his bangs. The commander-in-chief glanced at the bangs, who stood up.
"These two heights are only 3.7 square kilometers in total, and most of the Americans' fortifications are built on slopes, which sounds scary, but in fact it doesn't make much sense!" Bangs said. "Why doesn't it make much sense? There are so many permanent firepower points, do you know what a permanent firepower point is? Commander Qin said anxiously after hearing Liu Hai's words. Commander Qin, don't worry, the meaning of what I said is different from what you think! Liu Hai said, "I have a regiment commander called Ghost Artillery, his direct fire level within the visual range can be said to be no bullets, no one in the artillery of the whole army can beat the right, such an inclined fortification, don't say seventy, even seven hundred, he will not use seven hundred and one shells, I promise that before the counterattack is launched, let these seventy permanent firepower points all be killed!" These seventy permanent firepower points are of no meaning to the ghost artillery! "So that's the case, this is what you said from Senior Commander Liu!" Commander Qin said to Liu Hai. "Commander Qin, rest assured, once the counterattack begins, if there is still a permanent firepower point shooting, my bangs are willing to come and see you!" Bangs said. "Okay, okay, then I'll be relieved!" Commander Qin said. "Okay, since that's the case, then your Commander Qin will be in charge of these two highlands!" said the commander-in-chief. "With the words of Master Liu, there is no problem!" Commander Qin said.
"Commander of the Twelfth Army!" said the commander-in-chief. "Yes!" The commander of the Twelfth Army stood up and said. "The mission of your army is the 539.9 Heights and the seven positions nearby, how many soldiers do you have?" The commander-in-chief asked. "We still have nine companies!" The commander of the Twelfth Army said. As soon as he said this, there was another exclamation around, and there were only nine companies left in one army, which was even worse than the fifteenth army! "Can your nine companies take the 539.9 Heights and the other seven positions?" The commander-in-chief asked. "I have the same attitude as Commander Qin, as long as the artillery is in place, there is no problem!" The commander of the Twelfth Army said. After saying this, I also glanced at my bangs. "No problem, I asked Fat Wu to support you, his artillery is more than one or five millimeters of heavy artillery, he has enough ability and firepower to help you take all the positions!" Bangs stood up and said.
"In addition to the tasks of these two armies, there are also battles on the east and west sides!" The commander-in-chief said: "Is the commander of the ninety-third regiment here?" "I'm coming, Commander-in-Chief!" The commander of the ninety-third regiment stood up and replied. "The No. 6 position you hold is very critical, during the whole campaign, the Americans have not relaxed their attack on where, after the main position counterattack begins, the Americans will definitely storm the No. 6 position, when the time comes, if you can't hold it, let the Americans run in, we will fall into the overall passivity! Your regiment is the famous Huangya Cave Battle Hero Regiment, don't smash this brand! The commander-in-chief said. Don't let me smash it! The commander of the 93rd Regiment said, "When I took over the No. 6 position, Brigade Commander Liu of the Independent Brigade of the Eighth Artillery Division said that if he couldn't hold it, he would kick the brand of our hero regiment, and I said at that time, I would never let him kick the brand of our regiment!" Now I also assure you that I will never smash the brand of the Yellow Cliff Cave Battle Hero Regiment! "Good!" The commander-in-chief nodded and said.
"This Huangyadong Battle Hero Regiment is the commander-in-chief's subordinates in the northwest of Shanxi during the Anti-Japanese War, and the brand of the 93rd Regiment is the brand of the commander-in-chief, your brigade commander is not small, dare to kick the commander-in-chief's brand!" The commander of the forty-third division, who was sitting next to Liu Hai, whispered. "That guy has never opened the door, look at how I clean him up when I go back!" Liu Hai looked at the commander-in-chief depressedly. At this time, the commander-in-chief asked, "Is Brigade Commander Liu of the Eighth Artillery Division here?" "Huh?" Liu Hai was startled, and quickly stood up, "I'm sorry Commander-in-Chief, he didn't come, I took any task for him, I promise that he can complete any task!" "Then you go back and tell Brigade Commander Liu that this time the enemy's in-depth intelligence was collected by him, and the Volunteer Army Headquarters gave him a first-class merit!" The commander-in-chief said, "As for the mission, his task is to ensure the safety of the artillery!" "Yes!"
"Are the commanders of the two newly transferred armies here?" The commander-in-chief asked. "It's coming!" The commanders of the two armies said. "The mission of your two armies is to eliminate the two American regiments in front of you, I remember telling you that you want to conceal your whereabouts, do you dare to guarantee that you are not discovered by the enemy now?" The commander-in-chief asked. "Please rest assured that the commander-in-chief guarantees that no targets will be exposed!" The commanders of the two armies said. "That's good, when the counterattack begins, the Americans will definitely launch a counter-assault on Position 6 and your direction from both sides, and your task is to completely wipe out these two American regiments for me!" said the commander-in-chief. "Please rest assured, commander-in-chief, we will complete the mission!" The two army commanders said.
"Division Commander Liu, you can introduce your artillery firepower arrangements and give you a bottom!" The commander-in-chief said to the bangs. "Yes!" Bangs got up and walked up and said on the map. "This time of the five artillery divisions, I decided to use two artillery divisions to assist in defending the No. 6 position on the left side of Shangganling, and two artillery divisions to assist in defending the right side and helping to eliminate the two regiments of the American army, as for the artillery fire of the main position in Shangganling, my Eighth Artillery Division is responsible for it! One of the three rocket artillery divisions was arranged on the right side of Shangganling to help the two corps eliminate the two regiments of the American army, and the other two were all placed behind the main position of the central line, because the largest second-line forces of the Americans were concentrated in the direction of the main position, and I would use rocket artillery to destroy them! Liu Hai explained his artillery arrangement. Is one artillery division enough on two heights of the main position? Commander Qin asked. Enough is enough! I am not modest to say that my Eighth Artillery Division is the most elite of all the artillery participating in the war, and there is one more thing! Liu Hai looked around at the officers present and said, "This time we not only have a large number of artillery, but also have enough shells, before the counterattack begins, I will command the artillery to prepare for fire on the entire line of Shangganling for four hours, to ensure that the best counterattack foundation is laid for everyone!" ”
"This is our counterattack operation plan, and the specific details will be arranged by each division according to its own situation!" The commander-in-chief looked at the officers below and said, "Is there any more questions?" "Nope!" Said the officers below. "Then I have one more thing to explain to you!" The commander-in-chief said, "This counterattack is very important, and if you fight well, you can achieve peace, so I hope you can attack fiercely, defend tenaciously, and fight this counterattack well!" "Fight bravely for peace!" Said the officers below. "Very good, I order, the Shangganling counterattack will start at 0:00 on the 30th!" said the commander-in-chief. "Yes!" A group of officers replied in unison.
