That's right, this tactic is exactly what we learned from our great people's volunteer army.

Back then, because of problems such as the elongation of supply lines and the use of Li Qiwei's "magnetic tactics", I entered the Korean departments in the later stages of the five battles and was forced to slow down the offensive and gradually shift from strategic offensive to strategic defense.

Different from previous counteroffensives, the joint *** is also a bloody and brave division that has experienced World War II, after experiencing the nightmare of our volunteer army, it actually secretly learned the tactics that our army is proud of, and even interspersed with a roundabout formation of large-scale armored cluster troops, and its momentum will come faster and more fiercely.

The battlefield still continues his iron law, in the face of the sudden change of joint ***, the volunteer army was obviously a little caught off guard, so it soon suffered a big loss, the 3rd, 9th, and 19th corps of the volunteer army, a division, a total of about 400,000 people, was forced to retreat on the whole line.

Where would the United Army let go of such a fighter, and immediately dispatched 6 armies, 17 divisions and 3 brigades, totaling about 340,000 people, to pursue the headquarters of our volunteer army.

In order to give my retreating corps time to move in and deploy defenses, the 63rd Army was ordered to block the sharp joint *** at Tieyuan.

Tieyuan is not only the most important transportation hub of our army on the 38th parallel, but also hoards almost all the materials of the volunteer army. Once Tieyuan is lost, hundreds of thousands of our volunteer army will not only face the dilemma of being surrounded and annihilated, but will also be in danger of running out of ammunition and food.

As a result, there was only one way in front of the 63rd Army - to hold Tieyuan to the death.

The 189th Division was the team at the forefront of the 63rd Army, and it was also the most heroic and tragic team in the Cheorwon blockade, and they were ordered to hold Seed Mountain for at least three days.

The 189th Division has to face the armed forces of nearly 50,000 people in four divisions, including the 1st Cavalry Division, the 25th Division and the 25th Canadian Brigade, and its firepower, there are more than 1,000 artillery pieces and 187 tanks, and the air supremacy is completely in the hands of the United Army.

On this frontal battlefield of about 20 kilometers, on average, it has to withstand the impact of more than 2,000 people plus nearly 60 artillery pieces and 8 tanks per kilometer. Also, what about the amount of ammunition Van Vliet has?

As for the combat power of the joint *** participating in the war, don't say anything else, ride a division, Nong knows! can use "one" as the number, and there is no doubt about the horror of its combat power and the brilliance of its achievements.

Obviously, this is aimed at the main artery of the volunteer army, on the other hand, the 189th Division on the defensive side suddenly received an order to block the enemy on the way, and it was a pure hasty response, without the slightest preparation.

In terms of troops, because of the continuous battle, the whole division is counted as one, and the full number of troops is only 9,400. The ratio of enemy strength to enemy reached a terrifying 5 to 1. What's even worse is that because the 189th Division was ordered to rush to Seed Mountain in a hurry, the whole division was sleepy and tired, and even had not eaten enough for several days.

In terms of weapons, the 189th Division is a typical light infantry division in our volunteer army in Korea.

Well, if you want a cannon without a cannon, a tank without a tank, the march is all on the legs, and a few mountain guns with a small caliber, grenadiers, and bazookas are all heavy firepower. In the face of a heavily armed joint ***, it simply cannot be described as shabby.

In terms of position, the seed mountain defended by the 189th Division is said to be a mountain, but it is actually a small hill with a slope that is not steep, and tanks can easily drive up the hillside. On the mountain, there is no depth to be hauled, there is no fortification, and there is no supply if there is no supply.

On the one hand, there is a position that wants nothing, and on the other hand, it is a strong enemy army, and it can be said that 189 is a miracle that can hold on to the enemy's charge!

However, such a miracle, the 189th Division just let him exist for three days.

And Cai Changyuan, the commander of the 189th Division, who completed all this, adopted such a whimsical tactic that "no one has ever come before or since" - the "nail pulling" tactic.

To put it simply, it is to disband multiple people in situ, in a row of units, such as one

Nails are scattered on this battlefield about 20 kilometers wide and 20 kilometers deep, like a goddess scattering flowers, building more than 200 simple positions with flesh and blood.

That's right, within each position, there are as few as 30 people, and as many as 100 people, so scattered forces are no different from looking for death. However, in the absence of firepower, depth, and reinforcements, it was the only way for the 189th Division to delay the pace of the US offensive.

In the words of Division Commander Cai: "More than 200 large and small positions, even if they are pulled out one by one, it will take three days for the US army to pull out!"

Since May 30, the commander-in-chief of the joint front, Van Vleet, has given an order, and the joint army has immediately bombarded the 189th Division's Seed Hill position indiscriminately, with more than 4,000 tons of artillery shells, which has achieved the prestige of the "Van Vleet" ammunition.

Millimeter-caliber howitzers exploded one after another on the Seed Hill position, and the ground shook everywhere the shells went. Even the weakest 105 howitzer smashed down into a large crater, carrying all objects within ten meters into the air. Almost instantly, the flames and dust on the battlefield were intertwined, obscuring the sky and the sun.

After leveling the entire seed mountain by a few centimeters, Van Vleet was satisfied. The joint *** immediately launched a charge against the position of the 189th Division, saying that it was a charge, in the words of my division commander Chu Yunfei Chu, it was called: "Rush up and harvest corn!"

It's a pity that Master Chu, who cooked a pot of steel broth for Brother Yunlong, failed to receive Brother Yunlong's corn after all, and United *** failed to harvest the corn of the 189th Division.

After several hours of shelling and 1,000 tons of shells, the US troops rushed to the front-line position of our 189th Division in high spirits, and after more than 10 minutes of fierce fighting, finally occupied the first blocking position.

However, to Van Vliet's great dismay, the blocking position was simply rudimentary, there were no fortifications, no machine gun positions, no permanent fortifications, a trench that was not too long, and a few cat's ear holes to hide from the artillery fire were all it had. What's even more speechless is that there are only more than 30 infantry in the blocking positions on this line, still lightly armed, and there are not even mortars in them.

And it was more than 30 people in this area, holding weapons that could almost be said to have been thrown into the garbage heap, and they were tormented, patient, and held their positions in the continuous bombardment of heavy artillery for several hours.

It is not an exaggeration to say that although it is defeated, it is still glorious.

Looking at the mountains that stretched for more than ten miles, not too steep, Van Vliet's heart throbbed for the first time.

Of course, Van Vleet was not a fool and quickly adapted his tactics to the situation of the Volunteer Army.
