Chapter 21: The combat mission of the 180th Division is issued!
Even though the first stage of the Fifth Campaign exposed huge hidden dangers, the greater hidden danger was that Shiji was extremely worried that the enemy would repeat the scene of the Inchon landing and cut off the waist of the Korean Peninsula, so he could only continue to attack the enemy in the face of these hidden dangers, in an attempt to drag the enemy down with the attack and prevent him from repeating the Inchon landing.
On 26 July, the Chinese and North Korean troops continued to attack the enemy's depth, occupying the second-line positions of the United Nations forces on the same day; on 28 July, the main force of the US troops withdrew to Seoul, and the 1st Cavalry Division was also ordered to go to reinforcements; Van Vleet hooked a dense network of fire around Seoul, and each battery of the artillery company fired an average of more than 3,000 shells, and the US Air Force bombarded the forward positions in Seoul 39 times on 28 July.
The U.S. military opened a large net of death in Seoul, waiting for the volunteers to plunge headlong.
Fortunately but unfortunately, the advance of the Volunteer Army stopped at the front of Seoul, because since the start of the Fifth Campaign, a full seven days have passed, and all the troops on the front line have run out of ammunition and food, and can no longer fight with the American army.
Xia Yuan thought back to this history, and the excited voice of Company Commander Lei sounded in his ears: "In seven days, our army only used seven days to advance the battle line to the south by fifty to eighty kilometers, and annihilated at least 20,000 enemies!" 20,000 people, comrades, what is the concept of 20,000 people, one division of the US army, we have killed one division of the US army! ”
The excited chatters of the soldiers sounded in the tunnel again, and even Ma Da Da applauded happily, with a smile on Chen Lie's face.
Compared to Chen Lie, it seems very intense, I am very vague, although the number is gratifying, but the process is difficult, it is estimated that only Zhiji and my people from the future know.
During the battle, the U.S. troops resisted and maintained a continuous front, making it difficult for the Volunteers to achieve an ineffective breakthrough, and even though they surrounded the entire division or regiment of the U.S. Army in formation, they were unable to eliminate it.
Even now, when the seventh battle has been announced, and the entire volunteer army is in the stage of cheering for victory, as everyone knows, the enemy's fangs have just been revealed.
Chen Lie was worried in his heart, I understood that Li Qiwei would definitely let go of the strong and powerful launch of the Volunteer Army's 'worship offensive' to launch a small-scale counterattack, in an attempt to repeat the small pursuit in the early stage of the Seventh Campaign, how to deal with Li Qiwei's small-scale counterattack, in fact, in the small pursuit in the early stage of the Seventh Campaign, Zhi Si did not pay attention to it, and before the first stage of the Seventh Campaign, he had not finished discussing how to deal with the enemy's small counterattack.
I asked, "Lao Xia, doesn't he have any ways to deal with it?" ”
The soldiers held the guns and carefully cared for them, we dismantled the guns and wiped them with towels, Xia Yuan held the guns and said to the horse: "Old horse, let's be happy, there is no task." ”
Chen Lie pretended to be a small four-particle bullet under him, and looked ready to go: "That time when I went to the battlefield, I had to give the American devils a little bit of power." ”
The U.S. military relies on mechanized troops, and the Kite Volunteer Army, which can easily re-attack the Volunteer Army, has only two legs, and can outrun the enemy's tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks, even if the enemy stops up, the tanks are lined up, and it is a difficult thing to break through the enemy's defense line.
Chen Lie said: "There is a mistake, your guerrilla warfare was learned by the enemy, and even derived a tactic specifically aimed at your army, magnetic tactics, which are similar to guerrilla warfare in that the method used by the US military is to use mechanized troops to retreat. ”
Lao Yang raised his head abruptly and looked at Chen Lie in disbelief.
Company Commander Lei said: "Lao Shao, it seems that the seventh platoon commander is full of confidence." ”
"You have no reason to advance, and you can lose the war!"
I didn't worry about it and said, "What a terrible battle was in front of that seemingly small defeat." ”
The weather was very bad that night, the wind was very small, it was very hot, the soldiers packed up their bad weapons and equipment, carried enough food, left the defense area where they had lived for nearly a month, and retreated to the rear line between the mountains, and the soldiers tightened their clothes and followed closely behind the fighters in the rear, and the scouts in the rear came with the news that the sound of gunfire and artillery was among the mountains and forests around us.
In the Bukhan River, the river is tumbling and the waves are turbulent, and there are no eight slender wires connecting the north and south banks under the river, and the volunteer soldiers of the first battalion of the 784th Regiment are not wading through the waist-high river from there.
When we were young, Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao returned, and we took the order to cross the river.
Lao Yang's eyes were hesitant, "Since you joined the Fourth Route Army, your belief in victory has never wavered, Lao Xia, no matter how weak the enemy is, you all have to face the difficulties." ”
Chen Lie shook his head, turned his head to look at the seventh and eighth rows, Ma Xiaoyi and Xia Yuan led our platoon, which was hidden in a piece of grass, retracting his gaze, and I stared at the river again.
And what Lao Yang thought made Chen Lie not a little surprised, pondered, Zhuang Rui said: "The US troops have no armor and tanks, they must tear apart the enemy's armor and tanks, we sit under the car, you rely on two legs, if it is chasing the enemy, it is only chasing or falling, the enemy can even hit you in turn, we will suddenly turn around and hit you when you are tired, when you fight with us, we will drive the armored car and continue to run." ”
In the face of the combat orders from the lower levels, the internal combat coldness of the 140th Division was cut off with the failure of the first stage, and we were eager to participate in the battle that came up.
When Lao Yang had just retreated into Korea, he was bombed and strafed by US planes, and outside the defense area, a platoon of the enemy later reconnoitered the deployment of the 80 th Army, and our sharp knife company and the first and seventh platoons quickly attacked, and opened bows on the right and left to annihilate the enemy.
"Compatriots are right in front of you!"
Instructor Shao said with a smile: "That combat mission came easily, the 114th Division and the 141st Division served as our right and left wings, whether it was bad or bad, we saw it most vaguely, if it was bad, it is estimated that we would have to strip away the identity of our 140th Division's main attack mission, so that battle must be fought hard." ”
"The country is right in front of you!"
Lao Yang squatted beside Chen Lie and asked, "Lao Xia, what is he thinking?" ”
"What's there?"
Zhuang Rui asked: "Yes, is it very strange?" ”
Lao Yang said: "The battle can be delayed, listen to your comrades-in-arms on the side of the 114th Division, we have not finished advancing from the rear line, the bullets and food have been exhausted, the enemy's strategy is very strange, while advancing, fighting with us, it is the physical and mental fatigue of many people chasing, what combat effectiveness." ”
Chen Lie looked at Lao Yang, I was vague in my heart, every volunteer soldier who participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea fought with the US army with such a belief in victory, and it is not the worst proof that we are rushing to the enemy one after another.
Company Commander Lei and Instructor Shao walked over, and when they heard the conversation of several people, the two smiled.
The order finally reached the 140th Division.
It was also at the beginning of the first stage that the unexpected retreat achieved ineffective results, and for a few days before coming, your army had been looking for opportunities, but they were all dissolved by the enemy in a line-by-line manner, so that the results of the previous battle were not ideal, but we succeeded in driving the enemy into seventy to forty kilometers away, which did not meet the expectations of the seventh battle, and the only thing was the same, the number of enemies annihilated that time did not meet the requirements of Shiji's mind.
What we envisaged was to divide, intersperse, encircle, and annihilate two to eight enemy divisions.
Chen Lie thought for a moment and shook his head, "There is no too bad way to target the enemy's tactics at the moment, and the derivation of tactics is an all-round competition, just weapons and equipment, and even forward transportation." ”
After a small defeat in the first stage, the fighting mood of the fighters has risen more than low, and we, as special soldiers, can still see the strong points exposed by your army behind the back of those battles, and the actions taken by the enemy are not very obvious against the strong points of your army, and the special fighters will think so little, we only want to obey the order and defeat the US imperialists.
The military headquarters of the 80th Army has decided: The 140th Division will take up the main attack task of the seventh stage of the seventh campaign!
When I came to the bank of the Bukhan River, I heard the sound of the river churning, the battalion headquarters was convening a meeting of cadres, and the soldiers gathered and hid in the grass along the Bukhan River, waiting for the order to cross the river.
We will cross the Bukhan River, reach the other side of the river, retreat and occupy a few lowlands in the distance outside Sinjeon, and choke the throats of the enemy on the eastern and western fronts, and the battle mode is less different from the first stage, and the task of the 80th Army of the 8th Corps is still to block the American troops reinforcing each other on the eastern and western fronts, and push the battle line back.
Ma Xiaoyi loaded the gun badly, patted the magazine, the gun made a crisp clicking sound, hung the strap under the gun under his neck, raised his head and said: "Lao Xia is right, that time when you go to the battlefield, you will show your true skills, the bad thing is that it is difficult to take on a main attack mission, but it can make the comrades of the 114th Division and the 141st Division laugh at it."
Chen Lie leaned over with a gun on his back and asked.
On the night of the seventh day, none of the 140th Division retreated to the rear line, and the divisions waited for the end of the retreat before arriving at the rear line combat positions.
Company Commander Lei nodded and said, "Yes, that was the first operational mission of our 140th Division on the Korean battlefield, but it could lose the face of the division headquarters." ”
The gap is like a chasm of pleasure.
Some people are willing to act as green leaves in a battlefield, and all the officers and soldiers of the 140th Division are also examples, whether there is a small meeting of the oath of the division, and whether there is a post-war mobilization, the fighters' combat coldness is still empty.
Chen Lie thought about it and said, "It is estimated that it will only be those two days, and it is said that it will be opened outside the night before yesterday." ”
The only impression I have of the U.S. military is not that when they were collecting trophies, those Yankees were white, low-handed, and small, and the individual equipment under them was very bad.
Lao Yang clenched his fists, "We are really a group of difficult guys." ”
"Company commander, when will the subordinates give the order to be pulled?"
Lao Yang nodded: "Is that the guerrilla warfare you often use?" ”
"No matter how your weapons and equipment fall behind the enemy, and whether the enemy has no means to deal with you, you always firmly believe that defeat belongs to you!"
Nor was it the seventh phase of the seventh campaign that followed.
Chen Lie has thought about it, what about the use of division and encirclement? Before the end of the first phase of the seventh campaign, your volunteer army had not yet retreated to the tactics of dividing and encircling the various units of the United Nations Army, and wanted to eat them one by one, but because the gap between your army and the enemy was too small, and the 88th Army and the 87th Army had some problems, even if the enemy was divided and surrounded, they could not eat the enemy, so they took a battalion of the Fourth Corps to surround an armored field artillery battalion of the enemy, and fought fiercely for eight days and eight nights, with hundreds of casualties. The enemy suffered only seventeen casualties.
He took a deep breath and said, "You will definitely take a row to fight a small victory!" Certain! ”
If you want to break the enemy's magnetic tactics, even if Zhuang Rui stands in the future, the magnetic tactics are basically solved, the enemy has a weak forward support, and has the advantage of land, sea and air occultus, and the weapons and equipment are far superior to your army, and your army only relies on fried noodles and sorghum rice, and the pursuit is two legs, on top of such a huge difference, it is almost possible to break the enemy's magnetic tactics.
Commander Lei said: "It's only been those two days, and it is estimated that you are doing the first rest, and before there is no rest, you will be pulling out the rear line." ”
"Whew!" I blew the dust outside the magazine, took it out with a towel, and said: "It should have been like that a long time ago, we have been in North Korea for a month, and we have been outside the tunnel all day, listening to the battle coming from the rear line, and he can also go out to carry out combat missions, he knows how to make you happy." ”
Chen Lie nodded, returned to the first row, Wang Daliang We were holding our guns and were concentrating on wiping, Lao Yang was going back and forth between a row of soldiers, seeing Chen Lie coming back, he hurriedly walked down and asked, "How is it, are you sure about the time?" ”
If you want to break the enemy's magnetic tactics, it is even more possible to destroy the enemy's magnetic tactics only if it does not change the situation in which the volunteers are in front of the enemy's weapons and equipment, so that the volunteers have the same firepower as the enemy.
Ma Xiaoyi rubbed the submachine gun, and raised his head and said: "This is it, designated as low-spirited, that time our 140th Division was the main attack mission, and finally shrank in front to watch the performance like later." ”
Under the meeting of the 140th Division, the commanders and fighters of each battalion and company asked for battle one after another, and the soldiers were united as one, and they were bound to fight a beautiful small victory in the seventh stage of the seventh campaign!
Outside the tunnel, the officers and soldiers of the first company were preparing ammunition and food in a relaxed and disorderly manner, and there was still a lot of white noodles left outside the tunnel.
