"Is there a warehouse on the hill behind us?" Bangs asked his staff officer. "Yes, there is!" The staff officer said. "Clean up that warehouse, we're going to use it!" Bangs said. "What are you going to do?" The staff officer asked. "Establish a command center, and the upper part will give me command of all the artillery this time, so the headquarters should be a little bigger!" Bangs said. "Well, I'll do it right away!" When Liu Hai was moving the headquarters to the warehouse, the artillery divisions and rocket artillery battalions that had been transferred one after another were also in place, because they heard that there was going to be an artillery commander, so the main commanders of these units came to Liu Hai's headquarters with their own cadres to report.

"Report to the commander-in-chief, I am the commander of the Ninth Artillery Division, and this is the political commissar of our division!" A swarthy-looking volunteer soldier saluted Liu Hai and said. "Hello!" Bangs return the gift! Behind the commander of the 9th Artillery Division was the commander and political commissar of the 7th Artillery Division, and behind were the battalion commanders of the two rocket artillery battalions, after meeting each other, everyone sat down one after another, Liu Hai looked at these commanders of the same level as himself, I don't know if these people will cooperate with him, after all, they are all division commanders, so Liu Hai decided to have a meeting first and unify their thoughts first!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the scale of this battle is very large, both sides are increasing their troops, and they are bound to compete here, but this battle is not the most mobile war we have fought since we entered the DPRK, but a positional war! There is nothing fancy in positional warfare, as long as we fight hard, in order to be able to make our artillery play a greater role, so we must establish a joint artillery command center, and I, as the commander-in-chief, hope that everyone can cooperate with my work and through our efforts. Push this battle to victory! Liu Hai stood in front of him and said to the officers, and after finishing speaking, he saluted!

"Senior Commander Liu, you're polite!" The commander of the Ninth Artillery Division stood up and said, "We have read the commander-in-chief's order, and he asked us to obey your command, so you can say, what should we do?" "That's it, Master Liu, just say it, we just need to cooperate!" Another division commander said. "We obey orders!" The commanders of two other rocket artillery battalions also expressed obedience. "Well, since everyone agrees, then I'll talk about the deployment of my artillery forces!" Liu Hai picked up a baton, pointed to the map on the wall and said, "The defensive front of our battle is about fifteen kilometers, and the main defensive area is in the five-kilometer area around Shangganling, but there is one artillery division in this defensive section, and the artillery division on the front is my Eighth Artillery Division, and I am ready to arrange an artillery division and a rocket artillery battalion on each wing, which means that our key fire defense should be placed on both wings!" "Wow!" As soon as the bangs finished speaking, the following buzzed up!

"Division Commander Liu, since the main part of the defense is five kilometers from Shangganling, why should our firepower focus on the two flanks?" The commander of the 9th Artillery Division stood up and said: "Shouldn't we concentrate the main firepower on the main defensive areas?" "That's right, Master Liu, this doesn't seem right!" The commander of the 7th Artillery Division also said. "Don't worry, everyone!" Liu Hai said: "This time the situation is different, because the main defense area is narrow, and if there are too many guns, you can only waste firepower!" In addition, according to the combat habits of the Americans, they will definitely concentrate superior firepower on one point to break through, the front is our main defensive area, where the terrain is high, the drop is large, they are not easy to break through, and the two wings are different, they are easy to find a place where they can break through, concentrate superior firepower and strength to break through, and put the main artillery firepower on the two wings, that is, to provide fire support to the possible attack site at any time, so that the Americans have no chance to take advantage of it! ”

"I said, Teacher, can they understand? I don't think they're convinced! Bangs' staff officer said. Of course, I'm not convinced, they are all division commanders, but they have to listen to my command, and as for my tactical arrangements, they will soon understand! The Americans have hit enough nails in the front, and will soon find a place to attack on both flanks! Bangs said. What if the Americans didn't do that? The staff officer asked. No, the Americans are either stupid, or a pig will go both ways after hitting the wall! Liu Hai said, "Tell the ghost artillery, let him give full play to his strengths, and try to increase the blocking distance of the artillery!" "Yes!" The staff officer said, "Do you want to send our deployment to Commander Qin?" "Okay!"

"Mr. Division Commander, I suggest that we look for an easy breakthrough from another location, the frontal attack seems to have reached a dead end, we need to change our tactics!" Van Vliet said to the commander of the 7th Division of the US Army on the phone. Van Vliet looked at the casualty report of the attack, and felt that he could not fight hard and hard, if he continued to rush so hard, it would become a meat grinder, Van Vliet was absolutely unwilling to fight with the Chinese, so Van Vliet decided to use his brains tactically! "We have found a new place to attack, but I recommend continuing to maintain the pressure on the enemy in the frontal attack, after all, both sides are now focusing on the frontal five-kilometer battlefield, if the attack is reduced, I am afraid it will arouse their alarm!" said the commander of the 7th Division of the US Army. "That's right, Mr. Teacher, as soon as possible!" Van Vliet said.

"I said, division commander, isn't this Commander-in-Chief Liu in the water? The Americans fought with their lives in Shangganling, and the two sides were calm, and a division and a rocket artillery battalion were arranged. The chief of staff of the Ninth Artillery Division looked at the mountain in the distance and said. Don't be emotional, since the commander-in-chief said that he wants us to obey the command, there must be his thoughts, and we can just obey the order! "Although the commander of the Ninth Artillery Division said this, he was also a little unhappy when he looked at the direction of Shangganling!" We've established foot-to-talk contact with the troops in this area, and we'll know as soon as we have a situation. The chief of staff said. Very good! "The commander of the Ninth Artillery Division turned his head and entered his own headquarters!

"Mr. Regiment Commander, the lot here is very easy to break through, as long as our firepower is in place, we can achieve a breakthrough with one charge, and then we can detour back to the back of the Chinese and kick their ass!" said the regimental chief of staff of the US military. "You are so right, the Chinese must now focus all their attention on the front, they do not understand the superiority of modern firepower at all, our artillery fire and air superiority can be transferred to any place within twenty kilometers at any time, there is also a regiment of troops in the east, and when the firepower is in place, we will be able to break through, and then our two wings and the breakthrough will be encircled, and it will be useless for them to defend it well on the Shangganling side!" The commander of the American regiment said proudly. "Report, our fire will arrive in five minutes!" The correspondent came to report. "Okay, then tell the troops, start attacking as soon as the fire is ready!" The commander of the American Army said.

"Boom, boom!" The ferocious artillery fire of the American army suddenly rang out, and the explosions on the high ground to the west were connected, and the American planes in the sky also arrived, and one by one the aviation * were thrown down, and the defending troops, who also underestimated the battle on this side, were taken by surprise, and after the American army's firepower was ready to end, the American troops began to charge, and the defenders eased up. "Fuck, why are there so many people?" The company commander on the position saw that the American troops were rushing up all over the mountain, and quickly ordered to enter the position and call for artillery support! When fire support was called from the position, the commander of the 9th Artillery Division jumped in shock! "What the fuck is really wrong, tell the troops to fire immediately and stop the shooting!" The commander of the 9th Artillery Division immediately said. "Fire!" The commander of the 9th Artillery Division gave an order, and the artillery of the whole division began to fire, giving timely artillery support to the position. When a group of shells smashed into the American troops, the American troops were also taken aback, but it was already night, and the first attack of the American troops was repulsed by the shells

"How is that possible? Didn't the Chinese put the main firepower on Shangganling? Why is there still so much artillery here? The commander of the American army looked at his dead and wounded troops and scolded angrily. Regiment commander, we have already occupied a high ground and are we going to send tanks for a breakthrough? The chief of staff of the U.S. military said. Great, immediately order the tank battalion to attack! The commander of the US military said excitedly.

"Division commander, the enemy has occupied a high ground!" The chief of staff hurriedly came over and said. "Immediately deploy troops to counterattack!" The commander of the Ninth Artillery Division said anxiously. The Ninth Artillery Division knew that it had made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and if it had brought a rocket artillery battalion and allowed the Americans to break through the position and kill in, then they would really have to apologize for their crimes! "But..." What else is the chief of staff to say. "Don't say it, the rocket artillery battalion fires, it must destroy the American troops on the captured positions and cover the counterattack of the troops!" The commander of the Ninth Artillery Division hurriedly said. "Yes!" The chief of staff hurriedly said. The power of the rocket artillery was not covered, a dense explosion sounded, and the American soldiers on that high ground were almost killed and wounded by a cover, and the counterattacking force immediately took advantage of the cover of artillery fire, killed it in one go, and established a defense!

The same was true in the other direction, although the defending troops and the artillery division commander over there felt that there was a problem with Liu Hai's arrangement, the sudden attack of the American army began, but fortunately, Liu Hai arranged enough artillery support on both flanks, and the attacking American army was hit hard and had to retreat! Looking at the corpses of American troops all over the ground, the two division commanders of the Ninth Artillery Division and the Seventh Artillery Division were glad that Liu Hai's arrangement was not preset, if it wasn't for the preset artillery firepower, once the two wings were broken through by the Americans, it would be a big matter, and naturally they understood why Liu Hai was the commander-in-chief. But at this time, they received Liu Haixin's order: all the artillery was concentrated on the front of Shangganling!
