The gap in weapons and equipment is too great, and it is still difficult to make up for the gap in weapons and equipment by relying on tactics alone, and the commander of the 28th Division was heartbroken when he listened to the casualties reported from the front. Hearing that the attack lasted for more than two hours, the efficiency was unusually slow, and the intelligence department made a major mistake in the number of US troops in Xiajieyu, which was originally estimated to have only one battalion or one reinforced battalion in Xiajieyu, and the number of troops in Xiajieyu was 1,300 men, and the strength of one regiment was actually enough, and the division commander was furious.

"What does the intelligence department do!! After the battle, I must tell the commander and shoot the person in charge of the intelligence investigation! ”

The political commissar of the division sighed: "The serious lack of intelligence in the intelligence department is related to insufficient preparation, and it is difficult to accurately estimate the enemy's precise strength based on the estimation and judgment of naked eye observation. ”

When the Ninth Corps entered the DPRK on 4 November, it rushed to Changjin Lake without much rest, and there was a serious lack of logistical support and a serious error in intelligence.

It was hard enough for a division to eat a battalion, and now he was told that a division was going to fight a regiment of the enemy, how could it be eaten.

The division commander stood in front of the map, looking at the map in Xiajieyuli, sulking, but he couldn't do it if he didn't fight, once he let the US troops in Xiajieyu take a breath, then the 80th and 81st Divisions of the 27th Army and the 59th Division of the 20th Army in the north of Xiajieyuli would be in danger, and the 79th Division of the 27th Army and the 59th Division of the 20th Army to the west would be in danger.

"Hit! Not only to play beautifully! And play brilliantly! Order artillery to cover combat units at the front! Don't be stingy with shells, blow up the enemy's heavy fire points, and relieve the pressure on the soldiers on the front line! ”

"Yes!"

Looking at the back of the departing communications troops, the division commander's eyes were solemn, there was a mistake in intelligence, and the deployment of the US troops in Xiajieyu was very tight, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, all kinds of powerful heavy firepower, coupled with cold weather, backward logistics and supplies, which was a great test for the volunteers in the entire Changjin Lake Campaign. (In the later stage, the U.S. military's blockade of logistics supply lines all relied on people carrying food and ammunition on their backs to cross mountains and mountains to send them to the front line, and 190,000 people were sacrificed in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and 80,000 were sacrificed in logistics)

The ammunition of the artillery positions of the US army is also rapidly depleting.

The artillery pulled boxes of shells to the side of the artillery and launched a fierce artillery attack at the direction pointed out by the American troops in need of support, and the artillery roared.

Allen was a soldier transporting shells on the artillery position, and in the face of the fierce attack of the volunteers, he did not panic in the slightest, and even joked with his fellow comrades: "This is the attack launched by the group of Chinese in tattered clothes, I bet they can't even open our defensive line, we will be very safe in the artillery position." ”

A country that is so poor that it will fight with their planes and cannons.

"Alan, you're right, they don't even have artillery, our tanks can kill them all."

The fellow townsmen around him pretended to smile calmly, staggered the topic, and talked about Christmas, "Alan, it's Christmas, have you prepared gifts for your family?" ”

Alan holding the cannonball: "Ready, I prepared a rich holiday cake for my family, and by the way, there is also turkey, turkey from California, which tastes amazing." Man, when the war is over, I invite you to my house, and my family will welcome you. ”

"Hahaha, when I get back, I'll invite you to drink our own wine."

"Okay man."

The two chatted and skillfully lifted the box with the shells down, and when they reached the third box, something rolled out of the other side of the box.

When Alan saw it, he asked, "Man, what's that?" ”

"I'll take a look..."

Before the words were finished, the two of them lost consciousness, the explosion of the grenade detonated the piled up shells, and the next moment, there was a violent explosion in the artillery position of the American army, and the screams came from the artillery position, and they were soon engulfed by the deafening explosion, and the continuous roar was transmitted far away, and the smoke of gunpowder in the corner of the lower corner could be seen on the mountain.

However, before Smith could perceive anything, there was another explosion in the material area in the eastern part of Xiajieyuli, and the explosion was naturally not as fierce as the explosion on the artillery position, but it was enough to blow up many very important materials.

Smith was furious, "FUCK! Why, why did there be explosions of such magnitude at artillery positions, and why did there also explosions in the storage areas of supplies! Why, you, you come and tell me! ”

The adjutant who was pointed out by Smith was shocked, where did he know why there was an explosion at the artillery position, and where did he know that there was an explosion at the artillery position, even the material area exploded.

He said carefully: "It was the enemy's artillery fire that hit our ammunition reserves in these two areas, which caused a violent explosion. ”

Smith was furious and stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar: "Fuck! You take me for a fool, the enemy's artillery fire is clearly insufficient, only part of the fortifications of the front line were destroyed, where did they get the artillery fire to bombard the artillery positions, and how do they know where the artillery positions store shells, idiot! Immediately send more manpower, it's not enough for you to top me! ”

"Yes!"

Smith loosened the adjutant's collar, smoked a cigarette, used his binoculars to look at the battle on the front line, and ordered: "Drop marker shells on enemy positions!" Order the bombers to come! Plus I need a lot of supplies, a lot of supplies! Contact logistics, the next day I'm going to see a new artillery position! ”

"Yes!"

On the mountain, on the front line of the Volunteer Army, the soldiers saw a brilliant explosion occurring inside the enemy, which frightened the American army, and the continuous explosions made the volunteer soldiers happy, and there was a huge explosion inside the American army, and in that direction was the artillery position of the American army!

Sure enough, within ten minutes of the end of the explosion, the artillery attack of the US troops was greatly weakened.

All the volunteer soldiers burst out with a strong fighting spirit, and formed a group to launch a fierce attack on the position of the American army.

The division headquarters also received the news of the explosion inside the US position, and the division commander obviously felt that the artillery offensive outside was weakening, and immediately asked people to check what was happening, and the division political commissar walked over quickly: "Lao Li, good news, the US army's position exploded violently ten minutes ago, and it is suspected that the US army's artillery position is a US artillery position, and in the next ten minutes, the US army's artillery offensive will weaken." ”

Teacher Daxi: "Okay! God help me! Immediately let the second echelon reinforce the troops responsible for the main attack, and take advantage of the gap in the weakening of the enemy's artillery fire to tear open a hole in the enemy for me! ”

"Good!"

After the order, the whole division moved, the division commander smoked, the dark clouds on his face dissipated a little, and he still pondered with a hint of incredulity, wondering why such a huge explosion occurred in the position of the US army, and what happened inside the US army.

......

1100 high underground.

At 4:30 a.m., the sky was completely dark, and at the moment when the general attack was launched, accompanied by the noisy sound of artillery, Wu Qianli blew the osprey whistle, and the soldiers in a platoon of firepower came out of the bunker and quickly shot at the American troops who could be seen.

The artillery platoon fired more than 20 shells in a hurry, and the roar was deafening, and the American troops, who were a little confused by the shelling, had just recovered their strength when they saw a contingent of volunteers coming out of the darkness.

With submachine guns in hand, they rushed forward and swooped down on their men, many of whom were wounded and fell to the ground.

After all, it was the 1st Marine Division, and after a short period of confusion, the US army quickly organized manpower to start a counterattack, quickly occupied favorable terrain, and tanks and armored vehicles were dispatched, relying on powerful heavy firepower to counterattack the volunteer soldiers.

The Battle of Changjin Lake began.
