The gap in weapons and equipment is too big. It is still difficult to make up for the gap in weapons and equipment by relying only on tactics. The commander of the 28th Division was heartbroken when he heard the casualties reported from the front line. Hearing that the attack took more than two hours, the efficiency was extremely slow.
The intelligence department made a major mistake in determining the number of U.S. troops in Xiajieyuli. It was originally estimated that there would be only one battalion or a strengthened battalion in Xiajieyuli. However, the number of troops in Xiajieyuli, which numbered 1,300, turned out to be a full regiment.
, the teacher got angry.
"What does the intelligence department do?! After the battle, I must report it to the military commander and shoot the person responsible for the investigation of the intelligence department!"
The division political commissar sighed: "The serious lack of information in the intelligence department is related to insufficient preparation. It is difficult to accurately estimate the enemy's precise troop strength based solely on estimates and judgments based on naked eye observation."
How long did it take for the Ninth Corps to enter North Korea to fight? It entered North Korea on November 4th. Before taking much rest, it rushed to Changjin Lake. There was a serious lack of logistical support and serious errors in intelligence.
It is difficult enough for a division to capture a battalion, but now if a division is to attack an enemy regiment, how can it possibly capture it?
The division commander stood in front of the map, looking at the map of Xiajieyuli, sulking, but it would not work without fighting. Once the US troops in Hajieyuli were allowed to breathe, then the 80th Division north of Hajieyuli would be responsible for annihilating the enemies in Xingxingli.
and the 81st Division will be in danger, and the 79th Division of the 27th Army and the 59th Division of the 20th Army to the west, which are responsible for annihilating the enemy in Liutan, will be in danger.
"Fight! Not only must we fight beautifully! We must also fight brilliantly! Order the artillery to cover the combat troops on the front line! Don't be stingy with the artillery shells, blast the enemy's heavy firepower points, and relieve the pressure on the soldiers on the front line!"
"yes!"
Looking at the departure of the communications troops, the division commander's eyes were solemn. There was a mistake in the intelligence. The US military was deployed very tightly in Xiajieyu. Artillery, tanks, armored vehicles, all kinds of powerful heavy firepower, coupled with the cold weather and backward logistics
Supply, this was a great test for the volunteers in the entire Changjin Lake Battle. (The US military blocked the logistics supply lines. In the later period, all the food and ammunition were transported to the front line by people carrying food and ammunition over the mountains and ridges. Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea
190,000 people died in the war and 80,000 people died in logistics)
The U.S. military's artillery positions are also rapidly depleting ammunition.
The artillerymen pulled boxes of artillery shells to the artillery, and launched a fierce artillery attack in the direction pointed out by the American troops who needed support. The artillery roared.
Allen was a soldier transporting artillery shells on the artillery position. Facing the fierce attack of the volunteers, he did not panic at all. He even joked with his fellow comrades around him: "This is an attack launched by those Chinese people wearing rags."
, I bet they can't even open our defense line, we will be very safe on the artillery position."
How could a country so poor use its aircraft and artillery to fight with them?
"Alan, you are right, they don't even have cannons, our tanks can kill them all."
The fellow soldier beside him pretended to smile calmly, changed the topic, and talked about Christmas, "Alan, it's Christmas, have you prepared any gifts for your family?"
Allen hugged the cannonball: "Get ready. I have prepared a rich holiday cake for my family. By the way, there is also turkey. Turkey from California, it tastes great. Man, after the war is over,
I invite you to come to my home as a guest, and my family will welcome you."
"Hahaha, when we get back, I'll treat you to the wine we brewed ourselves."
"Okay buddy."
The two chatted and skillfully lifted down the box containing the shells. When they reached the third box, something rolled out from the other side of the box.
Allen saw it and asked, "Man, what is it?"
"Let me take a look..."
Before they finished speaking, the two of them lost consciousness. The explosion of the grenade detonated the accumulated artillery shells. The next moment, a violent explosion occurred at the US artillery position. The screams came from the artillery position and were soon deafened.
The explosion was engulfed, and the continuous roar spread far away. The smoke rising from Xiajieyuli could be seen on the mountain.
However, one wave came after another. Before Smith noticed anything, another explosion occurred in the material area in the eastern part of Xiajieyu. The power of the explosion was naturally not as intense as the explosion on the artillery position, but it was enough to destroy
Many very important supplies.
The division commander pointed out that Smith was furious, "FUCK! Why, why did such a large-scale explosion occur in the artillery position, and why did the material storage area also explode? Why, you, tell me!"
The adjutant who was pointed out by Smith was shocked. He didn't know why the artillery position exploded, and he didn't know that even if the artillery position exploded, even the material area exploded.
He said carefully: "It was the enemy's artillery fire that hit our ammunition reserves in these two areas, causing a violent explosion."
Smith was furious, stepped forward and grabbed his collar: "Fuck! Do you think I'm a fool? The enemy's artillery fire was obviously insufficient and only destroyed part of the frontline defenses. Where did they get the artillery fire to bombard the artillery positions, and
How do they know where the artillery shells are stored in the artillery position, idiot! Send more manpower immediately, there are not enough for you to support me!"
"yes!"
Smith loosened the adjutant's collar, smoked a cigarette, looked at the battle situation on the front line with a telescope, and gave the order: "Put marker bombs on the enemy's positions! Order the bombers to come! In addition, I need a lot of supplies, a lot of supplies! Contact logistics
,I want to see a new artillery position the next day!”
"yes!"
On the mountain, on the front line of the Volunteer Army, the soldiers saw a brilliant explosion happening inside the enemy, which horrified the US Army. The continuous explosions made the Volunteer Army soldiers happy. There was a huge explosion inside the US Army. In that direction was the US artillery.
position!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Sure enough, within ten minutes after the explosion, the US military's artillery attack weakened greatly.
All the volunteer soldiers burst out with strong fighting spirit and formed a small group to launch a fierce attack on the US military position.
The division headquarters also received news of an explosion inside the US military position. The division commander clearly felt that the artillery fire offensive outside was weakening, and immediately asked someone to check what happened. The division political commissar came over quickly: "Old Li, good news, the US military position has been
Ten minutes ago, there was a violent explosion, which was suspected to be a U.S. artillery position. In the next ten minutes, the U.S. artillery offensive weakened."
The division commander was overjoyed: "Okay! God help me! Immediately ask the second echelon to reinforce the troops responsible for the main attack, and take advantage of the weakening of the enemy's artillery fire to tear a hole in the enemy's path!"
"good!"
After the order was given, the entire division took action. The division commander smoked a cigarette, and the dark clouds on his face dissipated a little. He was still wondering with a hint of disbelief why there was such a huge explosion in the US military position and what happened inside the US military.

...
1100 high ground.
At 4:30, it was completely dark. At the moment when the general offensive was launched, Wu Qianli blew the osprey whistle along with the loud sound of artillery. The soldiers in the firepower platoon jumped out of the bunker and quickly headed towards the enemy.
The U.S. troops who saw it opened fire, and the sound of gunfire alarmed the U.S. troops stationed in Xinxingli. At this time, many people were killed by the shells when a shell fell in their camp. Several howitzers in the howitzer position were destroyed, and the artillery was destroyed.
It exploded and screamed.
The artillery platoon fired more than twenty artillery shells, and the roar was deafening. As soon as the American soldiers, who were a little stunned by the shelling, recovered, they saw a team of volunteers emerging from the darkness.
They were armed with submachine guns and charged at their men. Many of them were injured and fell to the ground.
After all, it was the 1st Marine Division. After a brief period of confusion, the US military quickly organized its manpower to start a counterattack, quickly occupied the favorable terrain, dispatched tanks and armored vehicles, and relied on powerful heavy firepower to counterattack the volunteer soldiers.
