Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

"Of course not, the Chinese only destroyed 11 vehicles! Another one broke down on the way back!"

……

Palmer left the 15th regiment's garrison, jumped into the jeep, and chased his mechanized column.

Yunshan is really a dangerous place.

After stationing in Yunshan, the first thing to do is to improve the fortifications.It's horrible here.

Dayu Cave, Zhisi.

After reading the secret telegram from Room 0, Boss Peng and Commander Ye had mixed feelings.

"Report, the 39th Army is calling."

"The three divisions of our army have all moved into place. It is planned to use the 116th Division as the main attack. It will attack Yunshan from the northwest along the banks of the Sandan River and through the 262 Highlands, and attack with a part of the force in the direction of Jiudong; the main force of the 117th Division will be from the northeast. Assist in the direction of the attack, first annihilate the enemy in Sanjuli, and then join the 116th Division to attack Yunshan, and quickly insert a regiment into the upper nine holes to break the enemy's retreat; the 115th Division will attack from the west of Yunshan with one regiment, and another The regiment entered Longtou Cave and cut off the road. All the ministries completed all preparations at 11:1 on November 17, and launched a general offensive at 19:30. Wu Xinquan”

"Where is the Second Artillery Division?" Ye Ting asked the staff officer.

"The 2nd Artillery Division just moved to the north of Wenjing early this morning. Before dawn, it entered a camouflage state and was on standby. Two artillery regiments of the 1st Artillery Division are already in place and can participate in the fortified battle of Yunshan." The staff quickly found the 1st Artillery Division on the map. And the position of the 2nd Artillery Division.

"Of course I know where the 1st Artillery Division is. Not enough. Only the two regiments of the 1st Artillery Division are not enough." Mr. Peng said with a frown.

The deployment of the 39th Army to attack Yunshan was based on the fact that there were only South Korean troops (1 division and two regiments) near Yunshan. With the 39th Army and the two regiments of the Artillery Division, it is not a problem to take down these South Korean troops.

But Boss Peng and Commander Ye now know that the First US Cavalry Division has gone north, and now a mechanized infantry regiment of the U.S. military has entered Yunshan City to guard Yunshan together with the South Korean army. The small town is stationed, and it can go north to reinforce Yunshan at any time, or to meet the troops retreating from Yunshan.

"Send a report to the 2nd Pao Division," Mr. Peng said, "On the evening of November 11st, march immediately after dark. You can use motorized public road maneuvers. You must arrive at Yunshan before 1:10 p.m. At that time, the launch position must be completed and ready to participate in the battle. Apart from the 11nd Artillery Division, which infantry unit can rush to Yunshan tonight?"

"The 40th Division of the 119th Army is here now."

"Order the 119th Division to draw out one or two regiments, set off on the evening of the 1st, and march from Longxing Cave to Longtou Cave," Ye Ting pointed at the map, "This is a regiment of the 1th Division. The enemy retreats."

"Send a report to the 39th Army." Mr. Peng had been thinking about it just now, and now he finally made up his mind. "According to reliable information, there are unexpected enemy reinforcements in the encirclement of Yunshan. Your department must act cautiously, and be cautious about tentative attacks in advance. The final general attack on the enemy's positions needs to wait for the 1st Artillery Division and the 3rd Regiment to be in place, and the 2nd Artillery Division is determined. It can only be launched when it can reach the battlefield."

……

cloud mountain.

The scheduled general attack was on the evening of January 1, but the battle started at noon on the 1st.

The 5th Regiment of the 115st American Cavalry Division stationed in Longshandong noticed that there seemed to be unknown troops on the road from Longshandong to Yunshan, and immediately sent a search team to explore the road.Of course, the 343rd Regiment of the 185th Division, which was responsible for blocking the rescue mission, was about to fight, and immediately seized the 8th highland, opened fire first, and beat the search team back.This battle did not attract the attention of the US [-]th Cavalry Regiment. They are still stationed in Yunshan. The three mechanized infantry battalions are located in the north, west, and south of Yunshan City, and the tank battalion and regiment headquarters are in the south.

15:30 p.m.

"Report, some enemy troops in the city are preparing to retreat!"

Outside Yunshan City, the reconnaissance team hidden in the mountains discovered that the South Korean army at some support points on the outskirts of Yunshan was packing up their belongings and loading cars, and then ran south with their people and cars.

The reconnaissance team reported to the division headquarters through the walkie-talkie, and the division reported to the army.When Army Commander Wu Xinquan heard the news, his face flickered, making it difficult to make a decision.

Yunshan has 2 numbers of South Korean Army regiments, one of which is disabled: the 12th regiment can still fight, but the 15th regiment should be half-disabled. Half of the troops are actually only one-third left).The movements detected by the reconnaissance team now are likely to be that the 15th regiment, which was half disabled, was ordered to withdraw a step first, and go to the rear to replenish the blood.

"Send a report to the 343 regiment!" Wu Xinquan finally made up his mind, and proceeded according to the plan. It was no big deal to get rid of a disabled South Korean regiment.The mysterious enemy reinforcement mentioned in Shiji's telegram is the focus of this battle.

"Part of the enemy's disabled army will withdraw from Yunshan. If this group of disabled troops passes through the blocking line established by your department before 5:5 p.m., your department should not open fire and continue to hide; If you pass through your blocking line, you can open fire with all your strength."

At 17:25, our army's blocking position south of Yunshan could see a group of trucks driving from north to south. The head of the 343rd regiment pinched his watch, he could not fight before 5:5, and he could fight after 17:29... At 343:[-], the team of trucks rushing all the way left the effective range of the [-]rd regiment's bazooka.Forget it, continue to cat.

On the evening of November 11st, at 1:19.

Yesterday, the 1rd Regiment of the 3st Artillery Division, which was two kilometers short of arriving at the preset artillery position, began to pull the cannons out of the hidden place as soon as it got dark, and quickly pulled them on the road and galloped.Wu Xinquan gave the order to fire almost as soon as he heard the 3rd Artillery Regiment yelling "Our department is already in place".

炮1师的几十门90式野炮、105毫米榴弹炮立即怒吼起来。炮兵师开火之后，军属炮兵的75毫米榴弹炮、108毫米火箭炮也乒乒乓乓地将炮弹打了出去。

Ten minutes later, the 10th and 39th Divisions of the 116th Army, which were the main offensive missions, split into three groups and launched an attack on Yunshan City.

The direction of attack from the north of Yunshan City.

Here, a field artillery regiment of the 1st Artillery Division is responsible for fire suppression.The sky is full of bright lines drawn by shells. The 347rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment rushed down from the forest outside Yunshan Mountain, forming a fan-shaped semi-encircled situation, and touched the military stronghold in the north of Yunshan City.

Approaching the stronghold north of the city 500 meters away, the rocket launchers of the 3rd Battalion loaded grenades and fired three volleys. The tallest building in the stronghold, which should be an observation post, collapsed.

Then, several muffled "thump, boom, boom" blasts of mortars were heard in the stronghold.A few seconds later, several "lights" suddenly lit up on the head of the 3rd Battalion, and the ground that had just fallen the first snow was translucent.

"It's flares! All units take cover!"

The battalion commander shouted loudly, and the three company commanders also found that the situation was not right, and ordered one after another.In a few seconds, hundreds of soldiers from the 3rd Battalion fell to the ground.

Mortar shells continued to fly out of the stronghold, and at the same time, there was the sound of "dong dong" bursts from 12.7mm machine guns.

The soldiers of the 3rd Battalion either looked for terrain shelters, or used engineer shovels to dig temporary shelters in the unfrozen soil layer, while avoiding bullets, while moving in a prone position, and gradually evacuated the formation.

South of Yunshan City.

"Northern Sector Under Infantry Attack. Mark Area, Purple Cabbage. Howitzer Company A, No. 4 Charge, First Salvo!"

In the night, the 8mm M155 howitzer of the 1th Regiment slowly turned the gun body, and aimed at the shooting area designated as "Purple Cabbage" on the map according to the calibrated parameters.

“开火！”6门155榴弹炮炮口喷出橘红色的火焰，炮架的剧烈震动将已落下多时的积雪高高扬起。50公斤重的155毫米榴弹窜上夜空，向11公里外的某处飞去。

After the first round of shells was fired, the commander of company A held the microphone of the walkie-talkie and waited patiently.He knew that according to the normal procedure, the first battalion of infantry stationed in the northern area of ​​Yunshan would report to him the information of the deviation of the landing point after 30 seconds, which would be used by his howitzer company to correct the landing point.

Chapter 73, wipe out a regiment first

The 347rd Battalion of the 3th Regiment was blocked by the firepower of the US military at a place 300-400 meters away from the stronghold.The heavy artillery in the south of the city fired a round every half a minute, and each round of 155mm grenades shook the earth. Although the 3rd Battalion had completely evacuated its formation, under the suppression of mortars and howitzers, casualties would always occur , and is increasing over time.

The American mortarers in the stronghold controlled the rhythm of the battlefield. Every 3 rounds of shells were sandwiched with a round of flares, and the top of the 3rd Battalion was always bright.However, the enemy in the stronghold in the north of the city was also lit up. The artillery regiment's shooting ignited a car and the oil barrel next to it, and the sky-high flames illuminated the outline of the stronghold.

"Our battalion was illuminated by flares on the way to attack, and is being blocked by US firepower. We can't get close to the stronghold for the time being!" The commander of the 3rd Battalion hid behind a small rock and yelled at the walkie-talkie pinned to his left shoulder.What made the commander of the 3rd Battalion even more disturbing was that all the trees around the stronghold had been sawed off, and all the branches and shrubs had been cleared up, leaving a bare ground 100 meters deep.If complete fire suppression is not carried out, the casualties of forcing the 100-meter distance will be too great.

Looking not far away, a rocket launcher was fired in his hand, lying on the ground motionless, the battalion commander gritted his teeth, and rolled over to take the 40 fires loaded with rockets.

When the 3rd Battalion was crushed uncomfortably, the U.S. troops in the stronghold were also beaten uncomfortably.First there was a brief burst of shelling, and then the watchtower was suddenly blown away. There was a high-power searchlight on it.

Most of the combat-ready personnel filled the west side of the stronghold, firing all firearms into the area illuminated by the flares.The heavy machine gunner fired a chain of ammunition in one go, and was waiting for the assistant shooter to reload when he saw a flash of light from the mud and snow ahead.

"Bazooka!" The shooter and the deputy shooter subconsciously lowered their heads and buried their whole bodies in the trench. Almost at the same time, a rocket flew over the heavy machine gun, dragged white smoke and fell in the middle of the stronghold, blowing up a vehicle. jeep.

Ten minutes later, the U.S. military in the northern stronghold of the city discovered that the volunteer artillery shells that had been sparsely falling on their heads had disappeared.Although these shells, which are about 10 or 75 mm, are less powerful and less accurate, they are still very troublesome to the defender.Without the long-range bombardment, the American soldiers carrying ammunition boxes in the stronghold gradually became bolder, changing from crawling bent down to running straight up.

But the calm didn't last long. About a minute or two later, the fortifications to the east heard intensive explosions in a short period of time.

"The first battalion has broken into the U.S. position! The first battalion has broken into the U.S. position!" The head of the 347 regiment called all the combat troops on the walkie-talkie. Search for the enemy in the east of the mountain city!"

"Report from the Second Battalion! Our department found a South Korean army headquarters in the east of Yunshan City and is launching an attack!"

The night of November 11st was an unforgettable memory for the First US Cavalry Division.
