Chapter 3: The Air Defense Company Rises to Strength
The two surrendered American soldiers were stunned when they first saw our soldiers, but they quickly realized that they were prisoners, and two of them raised their hands above their heads and walked towards the col under the escort of a squad of our troops. With the participation of four infantry fighting vehicles, the other three squads returned to the col almost at the same time as the squad holding the prisoners after completing the task of cleaning up the battlefield and clearing the battlefield. "Report to the chief of staff and instructor, the second platoon of the special operations detachment has completed the cleaning of the battlefield; A total of 150 U.S. troops were killed, 2 were captured alive, 4 U.S. tanks and 4 armored vehicles were destroyed, 3 U.S. vehicles were destroyed, and 3 captured vehicles have been driven back; There were no casualties among our troops, and the prisoners are now brought; Wang Jianjian, the platoon commander of the second platoon of special operations, has completed the report! The platoon commander of the second platoon of the special operations detachment saluted Li Weiguo and Zhao Kailai and reported.
After saluting the second platoon commander in return, Li Weiguo looked at the two American soldiers brought in front of him: "Which unit of the US army are you from?" What is the mission to the Changjin Lake area of North Korea? Why are you firing at us? "We are members of the 7th Regiment Task Force of the 1st Marine Division, and our task force is to explore the way for the 5th and 7th Regiments to break through; The mission of our 1st Marine Division is to pass through the Changjin Lake area, eliminate all obstacles on the road, and finally reach the Yalu River. We were surrounded by you Chinese on the night of the 27th, and tonight the 5th and 7th regiments are ready to finally break through; Our task force is tasked with finding the way for today's final breakout. As for why we have opened fire on you, for we are the enemy, and you have been besieging and besieging us in Liutanli for three days, beginning on the 27th; Now you are fighting our 5th and 7th regiments in Liutan. Two American soldiers replied.
"What day is today, and what year is this year?" Zhao Kailai continued, "November 29, 1950. The two American soldiers replied; Are you sure? Zhao Kailai continued to ask; There is no uncertainty about this, today is November 29, 1950. The two American soldiers replied in the affirmative, both in doubt and in the affirmative. Take it with you, and take care to treat the captives favorably. Li Weiguo ordered the two soldiers to take the American prisoners down......
"Communicator, notify the company commanders, instructors, and live maps to the command vehicle for a meeting!" Li Weiguo and Zhao Kailai quickly returned to the armored command vehicle and gave the order to the communicator. Soon the company commanders and instructors will gather in the command vehicle, "Comrades, now that things are basically clear, we have crossed over to the Changjin Lake battlefield in 1950 under the action of a certain force; Liutanli, about 15 kilometers away from us, is now in the midst of fierce fighting. Our predecessors are battling the iron will of the enemy to the death, and the situation is urgent now. Li Weiguo said first; My opinion and that of the Chief of Staff is that we should now rush to Liutanli, now that we have come to the battlefield and have eliminated a force of American troops; We don't have to think about the butterfly effect anymore, all we have to do now is play to our strengths and help our predecessors destroy the enemy! Zhao Kailai added. Agree! Agree! Let the Americans taste the power of our shells! The company commanders and instructors unanimously supported the ideas and opinions of Li Weiguo and Zhao Kailai.
"Get off the bus and assemble!" The company commanders ordered that all the personnel of this composite unit quickly lined up neatly in the cold wind; "Comrades, we accidentally traveled to the Changjin Lake battlefield in 1950, and our predecessors are now fighting fiercely with the US army in Liutanli; What should we do now? Li Weiguo asked loudly, "Rush to Liutanli and cooperate with our predecessors to eliminate the U.S. army!" The officers and men in the line replied in unison; Good! All board, go! "Li Weiguo gave the order; As the soldiers started the vehicle, this synthetic force quickly moved towards Liutanli. Li Weiguo called the company commanders to the command car again, "Listen, everyone, now the US army is bombing our volunteer troops; We will arrive at the battlefield in about 15 minutes, and the air defense company will be the first to enter the battle at a distance of about 8 kilometers from the battlefield, and the other companies will first camouflage and conceal near 5 kilometers from the battlefield; After the air defense company solves the problem, the tank company and the tank company are responsible for destroying the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles, and the specific time of the sortie is waiting for my order. Li Weiguo instructed. The commander of the air defense company and the commander of the support company stayed, and the others hurried back to prepare. Li Weiguo ordered.
"Now the No. 2, 3, 4, and 5 cars of the air defense company immediately turned on the radar and went into battle, first knocking out the US planes over Liutanli; Then set up false targets and wait for the enemy to reconnoitre, and when the enemy's retaliatory aircraft comes, be sure to destroy them all; If the enemy tries to retaliate again, the 6, 7, 8, and 9 vehicles will go into battle and destroy the enemy together. The logistics support detachment is always ready to replenish the anti-aircraft missile vehicles with missiles, and cars No. 1 and No. 10 are on standby for another task; The support detachment has now released a drone to reconnoiter the area within a 20-kilometer radius of Liutanli; If it is found that the enemy's artillery positions are accurately located and then return. Li Weiguo instructed the two company commanders. Be! Got it! The two company commanders saluted and went back to make arrangements.
Soon a drone flew into the sky to carry out reconnaissance missions, the radar of the air defense company turned on to search, and four anti-aircraft missile vehicles 1002-1005 entered combat positions. "16 enemy aircraft, 8 US Navy F4U fighters, 8 US Air Force F80 fighters; The distance is 7.5-8 km, the altitude is 1000-1500 meters, and the target is locked; The data has been transmitted to the vehicles, according to the air situation, car No. 2 is responsible for targets No. 1, 3, 4 and 7, car No. 3 is responsible for targets No. 2, 5, 6 and 10, and car No. 4 is responsible for ...... "The air defense radar locked on to the target within 5 seconds and transmitted it to the anti-aircraft missile vehicle; "The cars are ready and have locked on to the target; Anti-aircraft missiles are ready, launch! With an order, .......within five seconds, 16 anti-aircraft missiles were launched with white smoke and flew towards their respective targets......
"Guys, now for another dive shooting at the 1422, 1282, 1344 areas; The next batch of fighters is already ready to take off from the aircraft carrier, we finish the last shot and return in 3 minutes! "Captain Davy, the squadron leader of the eight F4U carrier-based fighters of the United States, gave the order to his companions to attack. Just as David piloted his fighter plane to dive and attack, he saw a dozen objects that looked like small rockets dragging white smoke flying quickly towards his fighter plane and the surrounding fighters; "Report, we are under anti-aircraft ......." Captain David had not finished speaking, and a missile had already hit his plane; There was an explosion with a bang, and David and his plane turned into a fireball and crashed down the mountain. With the sound of another 15 explosions, all 16 American fighters were shot down by our anti-aircraft missiles in a matter of seconds.
Simultaneously with the total downing of the enemy aircraft, the air defense company immediately shifted positions and camouflaged them; The support detachment immediately began to place false targets in the vicinity, and at the same time replenished the missile vehicles of the air defense company with missiles in preparation for an imminent retaliatory attack by the enemy. When the US plane was shot down, the volunteer troops and the US troops were very surprised, and a certain company of the 59th Division of the Chinese Volunteers also captured a commanding heights on the east side of Liutanli in a short period of surprise from the US troops. The sudden change caused the US army to suspend the offensive on the positions of the volunteers.......
All 16 planes of the US Air Force and Navy carrier-based aircraft units were shot down over Liutanli in a short period of time, and the news reached the command system of the US Far East Air Force Command and the US Navy's aircraft carrier formation, and the US Far East Air Force and Navy were very surprised. Soon after, three US reconnaissance planes flew over Liutanli and conducted repeated reconnaissance in the vicinity of Liutanli, and finally identified the two white areas near Liutanli as possible areas for antiaircraft artillery positions. The reconnaissance plane quickly dropped two marker bombs at the target area and flew away from the target area, and the US reconnaissance plane continued to stay in the air to observe. "Company commander, why don't you knock out the enemy's reconnaissance plane?" One soldier asked, "Our goal is to make the US Navy and Air Force planes temporarily dare not approach the airspace of Liutanli, and to achieve this goal, the US Navy and Air Force must pay a huge price; We must destroy the US Air Force and Navy Air Force that are coming to retaliate, so we must not use their reconnaissance planes for the time being, otherwise the enemy may not come. The air defense company instructor replied; It turned out that we had set a trap for the US military......" Before the soldier's words were finished, the radar soldier reported: "A total of 24 US Air Force F84 planes and 24 US Navy carrier-based aircraft F4U were found at 10 o'clock and 12 o'clock, at a distance of 25 kilometers and an altitude of 3,000 meters; "The radar locks on to the target, and all missile vehicles are ready to aim and shoot!" Each vehicle chooses its own based on the information and destroys the 40 most threatening targets first! After destroying 40 targets, cars 2 and 4 eliminated the last 8 targets, and car 5 knocked out three enemy reconnaissance planes! 5-8 km to destroy the target, launch! "The commander of the anti-aircraft company gave an order to all missile vehicles." Whoosh whoosh ...... "When the enemy aircraft were about 5-8 km away from us, 40 anti-aircraft missiles dragged white smoke towards their respective targets......
At this time, all US planes had already entered the range of our air defense missiles, and eight US Air Force F84 fighters, led by Major Jimmy, the group leader, had already fired special firing shells at the false target area we had set up. There was a huge explosion and a fire broke out in the "target area". "Hit the target, the second group will attack!" Major Jamie said triumphantly; At this time, Major Jimmy saw the same scene as Captain Davy saw, and at the same time a missile was speeding towards his plane...... "Anti-aircraft rocket!" Evade quickly! "Major Jimmy desperately pulled the lever in the face of the incoming missiles and tried to avoid it in a big maneuver, but it was all doomed to be in vain;" Boom, boom, boom, boom ......." In a few seconds, 40 US Navy and Air Force fighters exploded in volley, and fireballs fell to the ground; All 40 aircraft were shot down during the first round of anti-aircraft missile attacks. Before the U.S. military could react, 11 more missiles flew quickly a few seconds later; The remaining eight US fighters and the three reconnaissance planes that were just about to flee were all shot down.
All 67 combat planes were shot down in a short period of time, and the news came back only that they had been attacked by anti-aircraft rockets; The US Far East troops were extremely shocked this time, and the US military intelligence believed that the only possibility was that the Soviet Union provided anti-aircraft rockets to our country, but there is currently no intelligence and evidence that the Soviet Union provided us with weapons; Moreover, American intelligence showed that Soviet anti-aircraft rockets could not have such a high hit rate and combat effectiveness. The US Far East Forces Command had no choice but to decide that the combat planes of the Far East Navy and Air Force would not carry out operations within a radius of 20 kilometers in and around Liutanli for the time being, and that the reconnaissance planes would also temporarily stop their activities in the airspace within that range. The US military intelligence department decided to send agents to reconnoiter near Liutanli on the 30th......
