On the 28th, at three o'clock in the afternoon, there was more than an hour left before dark.
The company-level cadres and regimental commanders of the 238th Regiment, Wu Qianli, Mei Sheng, Tan Ziwei and Battalion Commander Tan held a close meeting on the U.S. military's defense map in Xingxingli drawn by Xia Yuan. Xia Yuan also participated in this meeting.
Discuss tonight's combat mission.
The commander of the 238th Regiment was the highest commander at the moment. He spread out the map of Xinxingli. On the map, the US military deployment situation that Xia Yuan had previously sketched was clearly displayed on the map.
Xia Yuan was a little surprised when he saw it.
"After your defense map was handed over to the 239th Regiment, the commander of the 239th Regiment, Yu Xingguo, handed it over to the division headquarters. Later, the defense map was drawn on the map overnight and sent to the commanders of the troops attacking Xinxingli. The 239th Regiment last night
Although we failed to capture Xingxing-ri, which was also due to our serious lack of information on the number of U.S. troops in Xingxing-ri, we still won a beautiful victory and wiped out nearly a thousand enemies."
The commander of the 238th Regiment smiled, glanced at Tan Ziwei and Wu Qianli, and put his hand on the two connected highlands on the east side of the map. "Back to the topic, the US military launched a fierce attack on the 1100 Highlands and 1200 Highlands during the day.
, these two highlands have been lost, our first task is to capture these two highlands first!"
Wu Qianli said: "How about handing over the two highlands to my seventh intersecting company?"
The commander of the 238th Regiment shook his head: "No, look at the deployment of the US military in the rear."
Everyone's eyes fell on the map.
The map clearly shows the defense situation of the US military. The defense map was drawn by Xia Yuan. The closer to the center of Xingxingli, the more heavy firepower the enemy has and the stronger it becomes. Although it is necessary to capture the 1100 Highlands and 1200 Highlands, it is impossible to penetrate them.
In Xinxingli, even if two highlands were captured, the U.S. military would still tear apart the volunteer troops stationed on the two highlands when daylight came the next day.
"Ring defense tactics!"
Xia Yuan just glanced at it and said.
"Ring defense tactics?"
For Wu Qianli, Tan Ziwei and others, this is still a new word.
Xia Yuan nodded and explained to them: "When I entered Xiajieyuli, I already discovered that the US military's defense situation was similar to the situation in Xingxingli. Later, when I sketched the US military's defense map in Xingxingli, I also
It really confirmed what I was thinking.”
He stood up and came to the map to explain to them, "The so-called ring defense tactic is actually very simple. It means that the US military relies on heavy firepower to shrink into a circle, which is a turtle shell. The first is the outermost mine, a large number of mines,
The mines are blocked behind with barbed wire. This is their first line of defense. The second line of defense is the defense line composed of US infantry. One characteristic of their defense line is that their bunkers are not built on the ground using sandbags.
, but dug pits underground. The direction of our soldiers' charge was from 1250 Highland, 1456 Highland, 1100 Highland, 1200 Highland. This charging method has one thing in common, that is, during the charge, the soldiers' entire bodies are exposed.
Under the enemy's gun."
"The US military only needs to hide in the pit and shoot at the volunteer soldiers on the mountain without exposing too much of its body."
At this point, except for Wu Qianli, Mei Sheng, and Tan Ziwei, the expressions of all the company-level cadres of the 238th Regiment, including some telegraph operators at the radio station, changed.
Tan Ziwei frowned: "They get into these holes to be rats."
Everyone is an experienced soldier. This kind of defense hiding in a pit is the most difficult to attack for all volunteer soldiers. As Xia Yuan said, the volunteer soldiers rush down from the mountain, and the US military only needs to hide in
In the pit, you can shoot at the volunteers, but it is very difficult for the volunteers to hit the US military.
The leader of the 238th Regiment realized that what Xia Yuan was talking about were some combat habits of the US military, and immediately asked the instructor to record them in a notebook.
Wu Qianli frowned and said, "Continue."
Xia Yuan glanced at them and knew what they were thinking. He continued: "The third line of defense is composed of US military armored vehicles and a small number of tanks. We have seen the power of armored vehicles. This armored vehicle looks like a tank and is used to defend against air power.
, but we don’t have air power, so they use it to deal with the volunteers. When I went abroad, I was fortunate enough to learn about these two types of armored vehicles, the M19 dual-mounted 40mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun truck and the M16 quad-mounted 12.7 self-propelled anti-aircraft machine gun truck. The M19 double-mounted
40,mm self-propelled anti-aircraft gun truck, with a rate of fire of 240 rounds per minute, and each shell is as powerful as a grenade."
Xia Yuan's voice became heavy, and even the commander present fell silent.
Wu Qianli looked solemnly: "If you want to destroy them, you must first blow up these enemy armored vehicles!"
The commander of the 238th Regiment said solemnly: "It is not easy to blow up these armored vehicles. We need to break through the three lines of defense of the US military. And after such a day, the situation on the US military position will probably differ greatly from the situation on the defense map.
.”
Just when Xia Yuan was about to introduce the fourth line of defense, bad news came from the telegraph operator.
"The US troops in Neidong and the US troops in Xingxingli successfully completed the rendezvous!"
All the commanders and fighters were immediately shocked. Mei Sheng looked at the telegram: "The troops responsible for attacking Neidongzhi lacked sufficient tank weapons. The hesitation of our commanders and fighters led to the delay in pursuit. In addition, during the retreat of the US military, more than 40
A U.S. military aircraft was covering the sky."
Wu Qianli's eyes darkened: "There is a reason why they did not pursue pursuit. Once they pursue, the casualties will be huge. But the combination of these two enemy forces, coupled with the ring defense tactics mentioned by Xia Yuan just now, can't be defeated."
It’s like reinforcing this tactic.”
Some were silent, others sighed.
Xia Yuan was silent for a while and then said: "The fourth line of defense is the US military's artillery position, which is at the center of the entire ring position. And now, the US military in Neidong and the US military in Xingxingli are meeting, which will undoubtedly increase the number of people tonight.
The difficulty of attacking.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Someone asked: "Is there any way to break this so-called ring defense tactic, or a countermeasure?"
Wu Qianli and others looked at Xia Yuan with burning eyes. It was obvious that Xia Yuan had some research on the enemy's so-called ring defense tactics.
"Any tactic has its own way to crack it, but I can say with certainty that relying on the current conditions of our volunteer army, there is no way to deal with it. Even with their precise defense situation, they did not capture it on the first night. After
One day of relief will surely make our next attack even more difficult."
Everyone fell silent again.
There is no way to break the enemy's ring defense tactics, which means that this US military cannot be annihilated in a short time.
Even Xia Yuan, who has modern thinking and foresight, has no way to counter the US military's gradually formed ring defense tactics in the current environment. In addition, during the day, the US military bombs indiscriminately and airdrops supplies into the besieged US Seventh Division.
The 31st Regiment, they can definitely spend it with the volunteers.
To break through a circular defensive position, one must have powerful artillery, absolute troop strength, or super logistics.
It is a pity that the volunteer soldiers do not have these three points. Even if Xia Yuan becomes the commander of an army, he may not be able to achieve these. This must be combined with the national conditions and society at the time. Even though he knows the changes in the future situation, he only relies on two legs.
, or the volunteers who pull bolt rifles to fight against the mechanized US military and the US military that has the advantage of land, sea and air. What needs to be prepared is not a country that was established less than two years ago and even the handicraft workshops on the streets are included in the industrial statistics.
Affordable.
In general, it is impossible to reverse the current situation on the battlefield.
