881, drama battle Moon Valley
The place 8 kilometers north of Seoul was originally called Yangzhou.
During the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910), the Parliamentary Government was established in Yangzhou, which was the northern gate of Seoul. The main force of the North Korean army, the headquarters of the 20th Division, is here.
Seoul was bombed by a huge fleet of aircraft, and this was not a small action. It can naturally be seen from 8 kilometers away, so Lieutenant General Minoru Ushijima, who just took over the position of commander of the 20th Division last year, can see it.
The "capital of Seoul" was attacked, and His Excellency General Namjiro, the Governor of Korea, and His Excellency General Nakamura, Commander of the Korean Army, are now mortally threatened.
As the "garrison of the capital of South Korea," Ushijima could not sit idly by, and if something went wrong, it would be too late to apologize.
Saving lives is like fighting fire!
Lieutenant General Minoru Ushijima looked back and thought: It's broken! I don't have much army in my hands at all, because most of the troops are on the outer defense line, and there are actually no people at home.
The troops directly under the division and regimental headquarters were left with a tank squadron of 8 tanks on their side, followed by a machine gun brigade and a flag protection squadron. These units are only right to use as assaults, and if they are used to defend the city, they will be used as live targets by bombers.
The 20th Division is under the command of Major General Yoshito Takagi's 39th Infantry Brigade (77th and 78th Infantry Wings), and is now defending the line of Mount Kumgang and Mount Wutai in the east, and its basic task is to ensure the safety of the eastern coastal transportation line;
Last month, the 40th Infantry Brigade (79th and 80th Infantry Wings) under Major General Liangfu was currently confronting the enemy on the front line of the Imjin River and the Maxiling Mountains, and the opponent was the 3rd Division of Liu Zhiliang of the Feilong Expeditionary Force.
Lieutenant General Ushijima carefully pulled for a long time, and the only thing that could be used now was the remaining troops of the 40th Infantry Brigade, the 10th Brigade of the 79th Infantry Wing stationed at the Kamitsukiya base.
In this way, Lieutenant General Ushijima Minoru grabbed the phone and made a phone call to the commander of the 79th Infantry Wing, Moriki Ishiro: "Moriki-kun, the enemy has suddenly and violently attacked the capital, please order the 10th Brigade to urgently send reinforcements to the capital to rescue His Excellency Governor Minamijiro and His Excellency Commander Nakamura." ”
Gao Maochang, deputy commander of the armored regiment of the 1st Division of Shi Liancheng, led the 1st armored battalion to reinforce Seoul, but he could not enter the city due to air raids, so he had to sweep the north of Seoul nearby.
At this moment, an armored car serving as a perimeter guard called urgently, and a large group of troops appeared in the northeast direction, which was rushing in the direction of Changdeokgung Palace, where he was!
The capital capital was suddenly attacked by the enemy, and it was normal for the enemy to reinforce Seoul. But for the 1st Armored Battalion led by Deputy Commander Gao Maochang, this is too abnormal.
In the military history of the world, it has never been heard of fighting positional warfare with armored vehicles. What's more, Gao Maochang only had 16 rail armored vehicles and 8 land armored vehicles under his command, and their combat mission should be quickly interspersed to the south and fight all the way to the edge of the Tsushima Strait.
But now that the arrow is on the line, it can't be done if you don't fight, if you let a large group of little devils rush into the city, and then use obstacles to resist desperately, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The key problem is that Bai Shujie ordered to take Seoul completely, so this time the naval aviation carrier-based aircraft group threw down all high-explosive grenades. Neither napalm nor cloudburst shells were used.
In this case, it is not a simple task to annihilate a brigade of more than 1,000 people through guò street fighting. If it drags on for too long, it's not a blitzkrieg, and if it doesn't get it right, it will affect the whole situation.
Gao Maochang pondered for a moment, and then gave a battle order: "The orbital armored vehicles retreat one kilometer, and the land armored vehicles immediately advance, suppress the enemy with dense firepower, delay their movements, and buy time for the follow-up troops." ”
Eight armored vehicles rushed forward 500 meters, and then pulled 500 meters away from each other, controlling the width of the front 4 kilometers.
On the roof of the armored car are all 20mm five-tube phalanxes, operated by two fighters. The range of flat fire is 800 to 3,600 meters, and the ultimate range is 4,800 meters. There is also a DW82Y recoilless gun on the side, which has an effective flat fire range of 600 meters.
This is all equipment used to deal with the bunkers and tanks of the little devils, and now it is used against the infantry, and it is really a knife used to kill chickens, and it belongs to anti-aircraft guns to fight mosquitoes -- overkill.
Suddenly, suddenly, four armored vehicles fired three rounds in bursts, and 45 shells flew over, just appearing, at a distance of about 2,400 meters, barely able to distinguish a humanoid little devil brigade, and the forward squad was immediately blown up.
This 10th Infantry Brigade, the captain is called Ono Shojiro, and the rank is Junior Sa. He never imagined that his troops would be shelled by the enemy as soon as they came out of the base three kilometers away.
In other words, the enemy has already hit the door of his nest, and he has crossed the frontal line of defense and appeared behind his house! Judging from the point of impact, the enemy actually used rapid-fire to run against his own infantry, which is simply bullying!
Ono Shojiro was puzzled, so he picked up the binoculars and looked at it, and the scene in his line of sight suddenly surprised him: "Yaga, the enemy armored troops are on the opposite side, and the brigade stops advancing and digs fortifications on the spot!" Signal Corps, hurry up and call Your Excellency the Division Commander! ”
"We have encountered a large number of armored troops, which are advancing to the first line of attack in Bianludong, Changshuiyuan, Qingliangli, and Jinguli, which will soon threaten the safety of the division headquarters in Yangzhou. Our unit has lost a squad and is unable to withstand the enemy's attack, so ask for tactical guidance! ”
This is the effect of Gao Maochang making 16 rail armored vehicles go back one kilometer, and then leave the railway line and swing away.
On the opposite side, Shojiro Ono now saw that the enemy armored vehicles on the first line were 8, and the second line was doubled to 16. Later, because of the distance, the Empire's 5x telescope was no longer visible.
It's right if you can't see it, so it's impossible to tell how many armored vehicles are behind you!
Gao Maochang used the trick of the suspicious soldier to bluff here, making the little devil on the opposite side suspicious, and the purpose of delaying time was achieved!
Unfortunately, good wishes generally don't last too long. With a tremor of the earth, behind the enemy position on the opposite side, there was already smoke and dust. Three minutes later, 12 tanks had rushed to the front of the infantry brigade.
A head-on ram with an armored car and a real tank, this is absolutely not a no-go. Because the armor of the armored car is too thin, and the caliber of the artillery is too small.
Now it was the turn of the little devil to be arrogant, and the infantry brigade followed behind the tank, shouting and rushing forward, and soon approached within 2000 meters, and the huge body of the tank was already fully revealed.
"Attention to all vehicles: all start up, keep moving at all times, and don't go head-to-head with the enemy!" Gao Maochang saw that the little devil's tank was a short-barreled rapid-fire gun, with a much larger caliber than himself, and quickly grabbed the walkie-talkie of his chariot and shouted: "The orbital chariot began to detour to the southeast side, preparing to strike at the enemy's flank. ”
At 1500 meters, the front of the 8 armored vehicles in the phalanx had been forced to open fire to suppress, but unfortunately the shells smashed on the frontal armor of the tank had no effect.
At this moment, the little devil's tank fired the first salvo, and the target was all the leftmost one of the 8 armored vehicles in front.
The car was unable to dodge in time, and as a result, it was hit by three shells in a row, and the five-barreled phalanx was suddenly blown into parts, and the armored car caught fire on the spot!
Fortunately, the armored vehicles designed by Bai Shujie had doors open on the side and back, so the fighters inside quickly jumped on the ground and rolled into the depression next to them.
Boom -- The fuel tank of this armored car caught fire and exploded, because the front of the car was shot, and the two soldiers trapped in the cab jumped out of the car without hurrying, and died heroically!
Gao Maochang stood on the command vehicle No. 1-002 with a distorted face: "Operator, call the division commander immediately, quickly report our location, and let the bombers come over for reinforcements!" Vehicles maneuver and don't stay where you are! ”
At this moment, 800 meters in front of the left, three fire dragons suddenly flew out, and the moment a huge howling sound sounded, the enemy's 3 tanks had been overturned!
"Well played!" Gao Maochang shouted excitedly: "Brothers, our infantry has arrived, and the recoilless cannon has played a role!" ”
It turned out that the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Infantry Regiment of Shi Liancheng's headquarters launched an attack on Ganghwa Island at the specified time, but he did not expect that the 2 destroyers of the little devils had already bombed the enemy position on Ganghwa Island into ruins.
The 2 Infantry Battalion crossed the Imjin River and pounced on the north bank of the Han River at the Gimpo airfield, only to be a step too late, and the marines had already captured the airfield.
The second battalion commander mentioned the grievance in his heart: he was really late, he was late every step, and he charged for three hours without catching anything.
In a fit of rage, the officers and men of the whole battalion rushed along the Han River in the direction of Seoul in the southeast, and they must make a few little devils as the targets of their anger.
I finally saw Seoul with billowing smoke, but it turned out that the armored car battlefield in the direction of Wolgu in the northeast was the number of my armored regiment. An armored vehicle without infantry cover, that is a live target for the enemy.
Where there is a battlefield, there must be an enemy, and only when there is an enemy can there be an object to vent anger. At the command of the second battalion, more than 700 people of the battalion left the Han River and made a detour northeast along the foot of Bukhansan Mountain, because they had already seen the enemy tanks on the opposite side chasing their armored vehicles.
Time is the victory!
The commander of the second battalion ordered the five artillery squads without recoilless guns to abandon their useless equipment and advance lightly and quickly relieve the armored vehicles.
Hurrying or a step too late, one of his own armored vehicles was blown up. Only 5 of the 7 brothers jumped out of the car, and needless to say, the other two brothers had already died.
Slowly approached about 500 meters along a shallow ditch to the enemy tanks, just on the right flank of 3 tanks. The 3 recoilless guns were each aimed at their opponents, and then a salvo fired, and the 3 tanks of the little devil were all punched out of a big hole on the right side, and then they turned out on their sides and turned into a big fireball, and finally avenged their brothers!
The enemy fired three shells and blew up three of his tanks into fireballs, and the tank squadron leader of the little devil encountered this secret weapon for the first time, so at the sound of an order, the remaining 10 tanks withdrew one after another, and before the enemy knew the truth and reality, the blind attack could be completely annihilated.
The enemy's tanks retreated, and the advantage of the agility and maneuverability of the armored vehicles was finally manifested. Although you can't beat the enemy's tanks, there are many infantry who bully the enemy!
The remaining seven armored vehicles on the front line were covered by artillery fire, and a squadron of devils who followed the tanks to the front was suddenly blown up into a mist of blood and limbs.
The sudden blow of the armored vehicle finally drove the little devil infantry brigade that rushed up 2,400 meters away, buying time for its infantry to enter the position.
At this moment, there was a dense rapid-fire cannon sound behind him!
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
