787. The enemy situation is gradually becoming clear

It is said that after Shi Liancheng received Bai Shujie's telegram, he immediately ordered the armored vehicles hidden on the front line of Khan Puli not to act rashly. Be sure to keep a close eye on the enemy's movements, but don't startle them.

The book confesses that Chen Jie originally ordered the first and second companies of the reconnaissance battalion of the South Manchurian Independent Regiment to attack Lianshanguan and Xiamatang Railway Station, and successively captured two dual-purpose armored vehicles and one armored freight train. Then the first platoon of the 1st reconnaissance company was ordered to be drawn out and a "railway armed patrol" was formed.

After the headquarters of the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force arrived in Pyongyang, Bai Shujie assigned this "railway armed patrol" to the direct command because he was preparing to form a "railway armored regiment". In peacetime, it undertakes the task of the Railway Public Security Bureau, and during the war, it is a railway mobile strike force.

The armament department of the command is organizing forces to install equipment from the railway locomotive repair plant, and the modification of armored trains will take some time. So two universal armored vehicles were sent to the Hirayama front, primarily to protect the railway and the railway bridges along the road.

Bai Shujie likes to blow up the railway bridge of the little devil, so he is naturally worried that others will blow up his railway bridge, and he is not capable of building a railway bridge now. Even if the current technical strength is enough, he has no time, let alone the mood to build a railway bridge.

Now, these two armored vehicles should be hidden in the dense forest south of the Khanpuli Iron Bridge, and the two battalion commanders who Bai Shujie drew from the armored regiment and the guard regiment of the headquarters are also the chief and deputy commanders of the future "railway armored regiment": Luo Qingsong and Xu Sanjiang.

The fundamental purpose of Luo Qingsong, the head of the regiment, and Xu Sanjiang, the deputy head of the regiment, was to familiarize themselves with the railway distribution, topography and landform of the new place. Otherwise, if there is a war in the future, it will be terrible to have a black eye.

"Lao Luo, look, the little devil is back!" Xu Sanjiang put down the binoculars and said, "They just looked at the iron bridge and went back, which shows that the little devil doesn't know what happened to us here." ”

Luo Qingsong and Xu Sanjiang, both grassroots officers who followed Bai Shujie for strategic interspersing back then, still have some opinions on some strategic issues.

Seeing that the little devil went back without hesitation, Luo Qingsong's face became even more solemn: "Old Xu, the little devil doesn't care about the North Korean problem, this situation is not normal at all. We hurried back to report back to the boss, which is not a good sign. ”

Luo Qingsong informed Shi Liancheng and Liu Zhiliang of the information that the enemy had retracted, and then returned to Pyongyang with an armored vehicle. In the afternoon of the same day, he directly met Bai Shujie and reported the strange behavior of the little devil.

"Your judgment is right, the little devil must have a big move behind." Bai Shujie didn't continue to be surprised: "However, since the enemy didn't take the initiative to come over and cause trouble, it just gave us a rare opportunity." The main task of you and Xu Sanjiang now is to modify 6 columns of armored vehicles. ”

"You know, our entire western region is plains and coastlines. Without powerful anti-aircraft fire, it is simply impossible to withstand the enemy's attack from the sea. So, you and the Railroad Armored Regiment need to be formed immediately, and then start emergency training. ”

"This time I brought in a lot of guys from the north who worked at the train station, and they were very familiar with trains and railways, so it reduced the process of driver training. You should hurry up and replenish the supply of troops and start artillery training. Armored trains can be done step by step, and one is deployed after one modification. ”

Luo Qingsong did not leave Bai Shujie's war room immediately, but said with a smile: "Commander-in-chief, I'm also a regiment commander, right?" Isn't it too shabby to have 6 trains and 2 armored cars? ”

Bai Shujie suddenly asked vigilantly: "Okay, what the hell do you want to beat Lao Tzu?" ”

"How could it be a ghost idea?" Luo Qingsong said with a smile: "I went to the logistics department to see it, and the things there are much older!" For example, trucks, I'm talking about things with broken cabins, but some engines are still good, and the chassis can be used. I mean, using these chassis and engines, it was also possible to modify several armored vehicles. ”

"I asked the new fighters who joined the army from the railway station, and they said that it was not difficult to convert into an orbital armored car, it was only necessary to add a set of redirection gears, change the direction of action of the propeller shaft, and it would be able to use it. Although the speed will be reduced, you will still be able to run 50 kilometers per hour. ”

"I'd like to ask you to give me 120 DW12.7 general-purpose heavy machine guns, and 120 DW82Y recoilless guns. In this way, I will be able to modify 60 armored vehicles. Each vehicle is equipped with 2 general-purpose heavy machine guns and 2 DW82Y recoilless guns. On the one hand, it is possible to participate in air defense, and on the other hand, it is possible to provide fire support to ground forces. ”

Bai Shujie pondered for a moment, and then said: "There is nothing wrong with the general-purpose heavy machine gun, but the DW82Y recoilless gun, which is a battalion-level support gun developed by Lao Tzu, is not a lot of it. You're going to have 120 fucking doors all at once, thinking it's Chinese cabbage? ”

"And what the fuck do you do about it?" Bai Shujie took out a piece of white paper and drew a few times with a pen: "Come and see: 2 DW82Y recoilless guns, plus the gun carriage, it is 33 kg; 30 rounds of shells per base for each gun is 200 kilograms. Two doors are close to 500 kilograms. 2 heavy machine guns, where are you going to put them? Well? ”

"Of course, your idea is good, but it has to be rigorously calculated. For example, the modification of an armored vehicle involves the weight of the armor. In this way, you can only install a maximum of 1 general-purpose heavy machine gun with a 3-ton truck chassis modification, carrying 3600 rounds of ammunition. Or 2 battalion-sized recoilless guns carrying 60 shells. ”

"Lao Tzu asked you to read more books on weekdays, but you just didn't listen. At this juncture, there is something wrong with a casual mouth. In this way, Lao Tzu gave you 30 battalion-level recoilless guns, 360 general-purpose heavy machine guns, and 960 DW light machine guns. In addition, you will be given 72 twin anti-aircraft heavy machine guns, 12 37mm anti-aircraft guns converted to armored trains. ”

Bai Shujie drafted an order and handed it to Luo Qingsong, and finally advised: "The battalion-level recoilless gun, with a direct aiming distance of 500 meters, is to hit enemy fortifications or tank armored vehicles." It can be used as a curved cannon at a maximum distance of 2000 meters, mainly against cluster targets, or with napalm. ”

"In addition, I would like to inform the soldiers that our general-purpose heavy machine gun has an effective strike range of 1,500 meters. If you use special armor-piercing shells for targeted killing, for example, if you want to kill the infantry guns of the little devils, the maximum strike distance can reach 2400 meters when using the scope, but you must use a single sniper. ”

"A lot of heavy machine gunners in the army treat Lao Tzu's general-purpose heavy machine gun as a Makqin mess around, it's just a fucking blind chicken. It's messy. 12.7×108mm heavy machine gun bullets, thicker than your thumb. A cartridge box has a capacity of 90 rounds, and if it continues to strafe like this, Lao Tzu will soon go bankrupt! ”

Luo Qingsong didn't take Bai Shujie's complaint to heart at all, he had been calculating in his heart what scale these equipment could expand his troops.

"No, you'll have to equip me with a bunch of assault rifles!" Luo Qingsong waited until Bai Shujie finished complaining, and then said with a smile: "My brothers can't all charge with machine guns, sometimes they need to sweep both sides of the railway, and they need assault rifles." ”

Knowing the character of his subordinates, Bai Shujie knew that he had just said everything in vain, so he was angry: "Okay, okay, Lao Tzu will give you another 1,200 assault rifles to kill you!" Remember, your external identity is called the Railway Regiment of the First Division of the Korean People's Liberation Army. From now on, the defense along the West Coast Railroad is left to you. ”

"Isn't it?" Luo Qingsong hurriedly bargained: "I have already personally run twice on the railway, from Sinuiju to Jinchuan in the south, the total length of the railway is 340 kilometers, how can I take care of a regiment?" ”

"Fart!" Bai Shujie shouted angrily: "180 kilometers south of Pyongyang, Lao Tzu released two field divisions with more than 30,000 people. Once the battle began, with ground troops on both flanks of the railway, you were tasked with the central assault knives and struck south along the railway, mainly to break the enemy's defenses. ”

"What really needs to be patrolled and defended is 130 kilometers from Sinuiju in the north to Anshun in the north of Pyongyang, and two battalions are enough. Moreover, there is Wei Chong's fourth division in the mountains to the east, so you only need to keep an eye on the sea to the west. You are a fool to be Lao Tzu, hurry up and get out of here! ”

Luo Qingsong made inches, but he didn't get any benefits, but was scolded by Bai Shujie and ran away.

Bai Shujie is in such a good mood to talk to Luo Qingsong today, and the most important thing is that he received three telegrams not long ago.

It turned out that after the Flying Dragon Expeditionary Force entered the Korean Peninsula, there was one unit that never appeared in front of everyone, and this unit was the Special Operations Brigade.

In accordance with Bai Shujie's order, the three special operations platoons had already launched a comprehensive strategic reconnaissance on the Luonan and Huining lines in the northeast, the Hamhung and Wonsan lines in the east, and the Kaesong, Wenshan, and Dongdoucheon lines in the south.

After sending a telegram to Shi Liancheng this morning, the three special operations platoons had already sent back a report on the enemy situation. Bai Shujie's heart finally settled down a little.

The 19th Division on the front line of Ronan and Hoeryeong currently has only two infantry wings. Among them, the 73rd Infantry Wing was stationed in Hoeryong, because it had to guard against the Russian long-haired people in the northeast, and now it could not move at all.

The 76th Infantry Wing was stationed in Ronan, and the long coastline from Xiongji Port, Najin Fortress, Kiyojin Port, and Ronan Fortress in the northeast to Chengjin Port and Tancheon in the south was already exhausted by the long coastline.

In the east, Yuanshan Port and Maoshan Port, to the front line of Gaocheng, there are only more than 1,200 little devils in the garrison brigade. If they were able to save their lives, they would have burned incense, and it was impossible for them to cross the Ahufei Ridge and attack Pyongyang.

On the line of Kaesong, Wensan, and Dongdoucheon in the south, there are only two brigades of little devils defending various key points to ensure the safety of the small devil's North Korean headquarters, and they are not able to attack to the north at all.

The only news that caught Bai Shujie's attention was rumors in the south that the 20th Division would soon return to Incheon and then return to its original station, which was Yongsan, north of Seoul.

After reconnaissance by the third platoon of special operations, the Ui government found the headquarters of the DPRK Army, with a machine gun brigade, an armored brigade, an artillery brigade, and a communications squadron, totaling more than 4,000 people.

Longshan, 20 kilometers to the west, is the headquarters of the 20th Division, with a left-behind brigade and a cavalry squadron, totaling more than 1,300 people.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
