The war in Korea was not as "smooth" as Li Wen imagined. 【Reading.com】

To be exact, it should have been too smooth.

After arriving at Manpo, Li Wenxian encountered not American troops, but groups of North Korean troops who looked depressed and prepared to cross the border into the territory of the Republic.

After leaving the work of incorporating the Korean army to the military police behind, the 1st Company continued to advance to the Jiangjie with 3 platoons.

At noon on the 23rd, the troops reached the Jiangjie.

Fortunately, the brigade headquarters specially arranged for personnel to install a special "blackboard" on all the combat vehicles of the 1st Battalion, on which slogans such as "Combat Units of the Republic of Korea Entering the DPRK," "Long Live the Friendship between China and the DPRK," and "The Rear of the Shelter" were written in Korean script.

When he arrived at Jiangjie, Li Wen still did not encounter American troops.

After a 3C minute break, the troops continued to advance.

At that time, the battalion headquarters received an order from the brigade headquarters that there were signs of US military activity in the wolf forest, and they were ready to fight a tough battle. 1 Company took the lead and rushed to the front again.

From Jiangjie to Wolf Forest, a distance of more than 70 kilometers, 3||It only took 1 and a half hours.

Thinking that he could let the 1mm tank gun wield his power, Li Wen was disappointed again. 1 hour before their arrival, the U.S. troops withdrew from the Wolf Grove. There were only wolf trails and more than 1,000 North Korean civilians chewing cookies and drinking Coca-Cola. In addition to the seizure of a batch of US military supplies that have not been robbed by local residents. 3||The biggest gain was a star-splinged banner that the U.S. military didn't have time to take.

As you can imagine. The withdrawal of US troops was very hasty. Otherwise, there will be no dozens of tons of supplies left.

According to the meaning of Li Wendi. The "rout" of the US troops should be pursued immediately. Li Wen is not a battalion commander, let alone a brigade commander. After capturing the Wolf Forest. The 1 battalion stopped on the orders of the brigade headquarters. There was no pursuit to the south.

to the time and place. The pursuit would definitely have left the 1st Battalion bleeding from head to head.

30 kilometers south of the wolf forest. At least 3 U.S. Marine battalions gathered. Among them there is at least one armored battalion and one infantry battalion. Before the arrival of the mechanized infantry battalion of the 3 battalion accompanying the operation. The 1 battalion went south alone. It is likely to be bitten back by the US military. Losing point troops is a trifle. If the U.S. military takes the opportunity to fight back. Fight back to the Wolf Forest. The 1 Armored Brigade responsible for descending south from the Wolf Forest will all be affected.

The 5411th Armoured Brigade attacked very cautiously.

Photos taken by unmanned reconnaissance aircraft show that there is at least one US military between Langlin Lake and Changjin Lake, with more than 300 tanks, multiple infantry fighting vehicles and more than 200 large-caliber self-propelled howitzers. Although the 5411th Armored Brigade, with a total strength of more than 6,000 troops, was confident enough to annihilate the enemy to the south, it was not wrong for the 5411th Armored Brigade to proceed cautiously until the situation became clearer.

From 12:15, the combat units of the 5411th Brigade arrived in the Wolf Forest one after another.

Throughout the afternoon, Li Wen stayed at the battalion headquarters, waiting for the brigade headquarters to give the order to attack.

In order to obtain the "sharp knife" task, Li Wen pestered the battalion commander for 3 hours with a dead face. The question is, when to attack, whether the 1st Battalion will be the vanguard, Lian Ban Gucheng is not clear.

While waiting for the order to attack, the 1st Battalion completed its first replenishment on the territory of Korea.

The main thing is to charge all kinds of electric combat vehicles and let the officers and soldiers take a bath and eat.

When it gets dark, let alone Li Wen, even Ban Gucheng and Xiao Dajian can't sit still. The two called the brigade headquarters every 0 minutes to inquire about the progress of the battle situation and the combat mission.

At that time, the brigade commander was not at the brigade headquarters, but at the military headquarters waiting for combat orders.

When to attack, it is not up to the military department to decide, it is up to the front command to decide.

Nominally, Xiang Linghui was in charge of operational command, but in fact Pei Chengyi was in charge of front-line command. On the issue of deciding the time of the attack, Pei Chengyi did not consult with the combat troops, because through the tactical data system, he grasped the situation on the battlefield in real time and waited for the best opportunity to attack.

The retreat of the US troops was very methodical and showed extremely high quality.

Before the arrival of the 37th Army and the 38th Army, the 54th Army launched a separate attack, which would not only have to pay a greater price, but also might cause loopholes in the encirclement that was about to close and an unexpected situation.

At 19:30, the main offensive force of the 37th Army completed its assembly in Longlin.

After 20 minutes, the vanguard of the 38th Army reached Liyuan.

At this time, Pei Chengyi issued the first order to attack.

Not to the 54th Army, but to the 1611th Air Assault Brigade to give the order to attack. According to the plan, the 1611 Brigade of the Air Assault Brigade must occupy the paddy fields south of Jiulongli by 22:30 and cut off the road of the US 1st Marine Division from Jiulongli to Heecheon.

After 5 o'clock in 20, Pei Chengyi gave the second attack order.

Still not for the 54th Army, but for the 171st Air Assault Brigade to give the offensive order. According to the plan, the 1711 Brigade of the Air Assault Brigade must capture Daxing, southwest of Huangcao-ri, by 22 o'clock, and cut off the road for the US 1st Marine Division to bypass Wulao and break through along Huangcao-ri in the direction of Tokugawa and Xianzhou.

At this point, the encirclement is basically complete.

Except for the east side of the battle lake, which has not been cut off from the road from the battle to the north of the battle, all the passages that can be used by the US troops to break through have been occupied. Because the vanguard of the 38th Army had already reached Liyuan and could capture Beiqing within a few hours, while the US 2nd Marine Division would take at least 12 hours to reach Beiqing, there was no need to send a low-altitude assault force to capture Rangbali.

Close the door, it's time to hit the dog.

At 22:20, the 1611 Brigade occupied the paddy field.

At 22:30, the 1711 Brigade occupied Daxing.

5 minutes later, Pei Cheng

The general attack was ordered.

Li Wen received an order at 22 o'clock and led 3||Acting as a "sharp knife platoon" for the whole brigade, it took the lead in attacking south.

22 o'clock, 3||The 5DZ211 main battle tank, accompanied by DB22 all-electric infantry fighting vehicles in the 1st company and 1st platoon of the 3rd battalion and 6 DLF22 all-electric wheeled anti-tank self-propelled guns in the 1st platoon of the 3rd battalion, roared out of the temporary camp and killed along the mountain road on the left bank of the Wolf Forest Lake to Wenyueli in the south.

With a distance of more than 30 kilometers, the DZ2 main battle tank, which has a maximum road speed of 75 meters per hour, can be completed in half an hour.

Although it took 1 hour on the road, the speed of the advance was very impressive.

When he arrived at Wenyueli, Li Wen encountered less than a platoon of U.S. infantry and wheeled armored vehicles.

The battle lasted less than 1C minutes, and before the infantry fighting vehicles and anti-tank guns of the 3rd battalion arrived, 5D211 divided the results, killing 12 and capturing 8 American GIs.

The failure to find the American tank and the failure to grab the results of the battle made Levin very angry.

He learned only after interrogating the prisoners of war. The large US army had already withdrawn from Wenyueli half an hour ago, and the US troops annihilated by them were the rear troops who stayed behind to destroy the military supplies that could not be taken away.

Although hundreds of tons of ammunition and supplies were found in the US military warehouse, Li Wen was still very angry.

Didn't wait for reinforcements to arrive, 3||Get on the road again.

Before 1 a.m. on the 24th, the 3rd Platoon "captured" Zhongxingli, which was not garrisoned by American soldiers.

At this point, the 3rd row is only 34 kilometers away from the forest to the south!

Before Li Wen could get on the road again, news came from the battalion headquarters and ordered the "Sharp Knife Platoon" to stop advancing and wait for the arrival of the large army.

After being busy all night and only catching a few small shrimps, Li Wen's disappointment can be imagined.

The armored 5411 brigade had to stop at this time, because the more than 20,000 officers and men of the 1st Marine Division of the US Army had been compressed into an area of less than 3,000 square kilometers. Linchan-ri was not only a rallying point for the U.S. military, but also the main defensive position of the U.S. Army.

Without air support, long-range artillery has not yet arrived, and a rash attack will only pay a terrible price.

The photos taken by the unmanned reconnaissance plane show that after the US troops retreated all the way to Linchanli, they did not continue to retreat southward, but instead built defensive positions, built fortifications, and gathered armored forces, assuming a posture of holding on to Linchanli and fighting a decisive battle with the 54th Army and the 37th Army.

Even if you have to fight hard, you will have to wait until the 37th Army captures Jiulongli.

In fact, Pei Chengyi did not intend to fight hard with the US military.

Without air support, the Republican Army also had long-range artillery that would daunt all opponents.

At 2:30 on the 24th, the 37th Army annihilated the last American infantry in Jiulonglidi.

At 2 o'clock, the 37th Army and the artillery brigade directly under the 54th Army Army, which arrived at Longlin and Wenyueli respectively, formed a queue and set up a posture.

The shelling began at 2:55, 2 large-caliber howitzers of 584 artillery brigades with 284 rocket artillery pieces were put into battle.

The earth-shattering shelling lasted for several hours, with a total of 120,000 155-mm shells and 65,000 rockets being dropped on the American positions in Linshan-ri, and the two artillery brigades used up all the ammunition they carried. According to post-war statistics, there were 11 artillery barrels scrapped that night alone!

In a way, the shelling was more shocking than the bombing.

The Republican Army fought for a similar purpose to the U.S. military's extensive use of air-launched cruise missiles on the battlefield: to deplete stockpiled ammunition.

At that time, the Army of the Republic had a total of millions of large-caliber artillery shells and rockets.

Most of the shells consumed that night were vintage shells produced before 20199. Because most of the artillery shells have an effective shelf life of only 5 years, and at most 1C years, and they will "expire" if they are not used again, so before entering the war, the army sent the ammunition stockpile to the arsenal in the northeast region, hoping to use up all the old shells in the war and free up the warehouse to stock up on new shells.

This night was called the "Tearing Night" by the surviving US officers and soldiers.

The night sky was torn apart by shells, the earth was torn apart by shells, the defensive positions were torn apart by shells, the tanks and combat vehicles were torn apart by shells, and the spirit of American GIs was torn apart by shells.

The shelling, which lasted for several hours, not only dealt a heavy blow to the morale and morale of the US troops, but also provided time for the US troops to prepare.

Both Dudgway and York realised that the general attack would begin after dawn.

Regardless of whether they fight or flee, they must withstand the general attack of the Chinese army and gain enough time for the troops to retreat.

That night, all the armoured units of the 1st Marine Division assembled south of Limchan-ri. The bomb bay of the tank was filled with depleted > shell-piercing shells, the infantry fighting vehicles were fully equipped with anti-tank missiles, and the infantry fighting with the vehicles also carried anti-tank missiles according to the anti-armor combat configuration.

If you don't work hard, you have to be a prisoner, and you still have a chance to survive if you work hard.

The 54th Army, which was gathered north of Linchan-ri, and the 37th Army, which had reached the west of Linchan-ri, also issued combat orders to all levels of armored units that night, and all tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were to carry ammunition according to the anti-armor combat system.

Both sides have bowed their arrows, and the tank battle is imminent.

From the 1st to the 17th, I went to Chengdu for a meeting, so I couldn't make up for it in time, and after I went home, I made up the chapters that should be exploded in time.

By the way, I continued to ask for a commuter pass
