Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji

The UN forces actually don't have many troops now.

If the Volunteer Army fought well in the first battle, the UN forces on the Korean Peninsula would immediately be short of manpower. At that point, forces behind enemy lines like Fang Hushan would be extremely useful. After Deng Guo reported to Wei Hongjun about his meeting with Jinricheng, Wei Hongjun also briefed Deng Guo on the current deployment of various troops.

While the two men were analyzing the battle situation, Chen Zhonghe came over and said, "Commander, apart from the puppet 27th Division lagging behind, the US Army and other Lee Seung-man puppet troops, including the British 29th Infantry Brigade, th Infantry Brigade, and the Turkish Brigade, these vassal troops have also entered our encirclement.

"The pseudo Seventh Division is lagging behind?"

"Yes."

Chen Zhonghe marked it on the map.

Wei Hongjun looked at the map and said to Deng Guodao, "What do you think?"

"We can take action. Although the puppet 74th Division is lagging behind and hindering the 74th Army's penetration, the impact will not be too great. The puppet th Division has limited combat effectiveness. If one division of the th Army is to deal with the puppet th Division, the other two divisions will be more than enough to penetrate the enemy's rear and cut off the enemy's retreat."

"Exactly what I thought."

Wei Hongjun nodded.

Looking at the fastest-moving Seventh and Eighth Cavalry Regiments, he said, "This Seventh Regiment hasn't learned its lesson yet and is still so arrogant. Let's start with these two regiments. Give orders to all units: wait until the enemy sets up camp tonight, and then attack all along the line according to the plan. Tell all units that the goal of this battle is to destroy the enemy's effective forces."

"Yes."

"Contact the Air Force. After daybreak, American aircraft will undoubtedly appear on the battlefield. We will need Air Force support then."

840 completely wiped out the th Cavalry Regiment

Following Wei Hongjun's order, the volunteer troops on the western front began to get busy.

This is a large encirclement that stretches more than 200 kilometers from east to west.

According to Wei Hongjun's deployment, on the western front, in addition to the 74th Army's penetration into enemy territory, the 15th Army's 43rd and 45th Divisions would attack the puppet 44th Division from the westernmost flank, while the 15th Division would penetrate and attack two regiments of the puppet 27th Division, located in the rear. After annihilating the two regiments of the puppet th Division and the puppet th Division, the th Army would encircle the puppet th and th Cavalry Regiments, the puppet st Division and the puppet th Cavalry Regiment, and the Turkish Brigade. Coordinated with the th Army, these units would be annihilated.

At the same time, the 27th Division of the 80th Army had to cut off the connection between the US 25th Division and the puppet st Division.

The 65th and 71st Armies also have heavy tasks.

Because the two brigades on the opposite side were the American and British troops.

65军要分兵对付英军27步兵旅和美2师，还有美骑兵第一师第 七团。71军面对的是美24师、美25师和英军29步兵旅。因为65军和71军的敌人很强大，所以20兵团把两个炮兵师，3个火箭炮团，三个高炮团都分配给了65军和71军。

Of course this is just the plan.

After the battle begins, Wei Hongjun will also make adjustments as the enemy changes.

The 27th Army is the busiest.

因为80师要穿插到美25师和伪一-师之间， 不能影响27军和15军联合歼灭伪一师、骑五团。同时27军要打响此战的第一枪， 那就是27军79师，准备进攻伪七团和骑八团。

The commander of the 27th Army, Zhong Guochu, arrived at the 79th Division before the battle broke out.

"How about it?,

“The enemy had little defense.

Du Ping, deputy commander of the 27th Army and commander of the 79th Division, replied: "Our rocket artillery regiment and artillery regiment have been deployed. They are all aimed at the th Cavalry Regiment's base. In this battle, we will attack the US troops first."

“You seem very confident.

"certainly.

Du Ping said confidently, "Old Zhong, you've seen the power of a rocket artillery regiment. While ours can't compare to the Katyusha, it's no pushover. With 50 rockets, a single salvo equals 300 102mm rounds. Combined with our artillery regiment, three salvos are enough to render the completely unsuspecting and defenseless th Cavalry Regiment ineffective."

The pseudo 7th Regiment and the 8th Cavalry Regiment marched together.

But they were still clearly separated. When setting up camp, each rested in a different place. This was a good thing for the 79th Division. Because reconnaissance was simple, they could clearly tell which camp was the th Cavalry Regiment and which was the pseudo-th Regiment.

Of the two regiments, the 15th Cavalry Regiment was a combat-capable American unit. The 135th Cavalry Regiment was a less effective unit. Previously, the th Army and the th Cavalry Regiment had clashed, and the entire th Cavalry Division, despite taking turns, had been unable to break through the th Cavalry Regiment's position.

After withdrawing, the 135th Regiment had a low opinion of the Puppet Sixth Division.

It should be said that the evaluation is very low.

Whether in terms of fighting spirit or tactical prowess, the puppet Sixth Division was lacking. The 135th Regiment engaged the puppet Sixth Division for three full days, and retreated with relative ease. The puppet Sixth Division's combat effectiveness was considered significantly inferior to that of the Nationalist troops of the day.

So Du Ping only had the Eighth Cavalry Regiment in his eyes.

Of the rocket artillery regiments brought into North Korea this time, the Katyusha Regiment certainly had the most firepower. However, the Katyusha Regiment had a major problem: its shells were too expensive. Since they were purchased from the Soviet Union, it was unknown how much a single salvo cost.

In comparison, the domestically produced 494-6-tube rocket artillery regiment is much better.

After the Xuanhua Arsenal successfully developed the 494-6-barrel rocket launcher, the Northeast Arsenal also began production. The two arsenals produced about 240 guns in total, so this time they were able to bring four domestically produced rocket artillery regiments into North Korea.

The best thing about the domestically produced rocket artillery regiment is that the ammunition can be provided domestically.

That's why Du Ping dared to say that he wanted to fire three rounds at once.

The same thing happened historically. A Katyusha rocket artillery regiment once fired three salvos, leaving Chen Geng heartbroken. All that was wasted money. However, the A3 rocket artillery regiment always fired at least three salvos, and even managed to fire six salvos within three minutes.

"The rocket artillery regiment makes too much noise. It's easy for people to spot their targets, so after three salvos, they must withdraw from their positions and move quickly."

It's actually just about being cautious.

Although the rocket artillery fire made it easier to spot the target, it was nighttime after all, so the threat wasn't that great. Regardless of whether the planes arrived or not, the 8th Cavalry Regiment was under attack and had no ability to organize an artillery counterattack.

But Du Ping still nodded.

Because the rocket artillery regiment is the treasure of the troops.

The 27th Army decided to transfer all of its 494th rocket artillery regiment to the 79th Division because this was the first real battle since entering North Korea. All previous attempts to block the enemy were merely attempts to lure them deeper into the enemy's territory. Now was the time for the Volunteer Army to demonstrate its prowess.

After seeing that the 79th Division was fully prepared, Zhong Guochu returned to the military headquarters.

Because the troops were going to attack all along the line tonight, he had a lot to do. In addition to the 79th Division attacking the puppet 81th Regiment and the 80th Cavalry Regiment, the 25st Division attacking the puppet st Division and the th Cavalry Regiment, and the th Division interweaving between the US th Division and the puppet - Division.

Time passed minute by minute, until ten o'clock in the evening, when the 79th Division took the lead in launching the attack.

The real first battle to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea officially began.

"Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh--"

“Boom—boom—boom—”

The rocket artillery regiment and the army's direct artillery regiment opened fire together.

The goal is to ride eight groups.

Instantly, the 494th Cavalry Regiment's base was a sea of ​​fire. The reason why rocket artillery regiments are considered powerful weapons is because they can fire so many shells at once. A single salvo from the 300th rocket artillery regiment is 300 rounds, equivalent to a salvo from 102 mm cannons.

300 artillery shells fell into the completely unprepared camp of the th Cavalry Regiment.

Countless people were killed or injured in the explosion.

The 300th Cavalry Regiment was stunned by this round of artillery fire. However, the nightmare of the th Cavalry Regiment had just begun. Soon, the rocket artillery regiment fired another round of salvos, and another shells fell on the camp.

Unprepared and without trenches to hide in, the 8th Cavalry Regiment had no idea what to do. While the shells weren't as powerful as the Katyusha rockets, they were still quite potent. It was virtually impossible to find anyone intact within a few dozen meters.

Even if you are not killed by the explosion, you will be killed by the shock.

“Shit.

After the first round of bombardment, the commander of the 8th Cavalry Regiment, Palmer, immediately tried to organize his troops. However, the situation was too chaotic, and the Volunteer Army's artillery fire was too fierce, so he had no idea what to do.

Looking at the situation around him, Palmer was terrified.

The bodies of American soldiers were everywhere.

"Damn it, the Russians joined the war."

This was Palmer's only thought at this time.

The US military was aware of the Chinese invasion of Korea, but MacArthur's optimistic attitude influenced the entire US military officer system. They all believed that the Chinese army was nothing. Therefore, even though they knew the Chinese army had entered Korea, they still marched forward with arrogance.

There wasn't even basic vigilance.

The only source Palmer could think of for such a powerful artillery bombardment was the Soviet Union. Only the Soviet Red Army could have such firepower.

The 1st Cavalry Division was known as the elite of the elite, but its performance was a complete mismatch. Facing the Volunteer Army's artillery fire, the 8th Cavalry Regiment's performance was amateurish, completely belying the notion of an elite unit. Many soldiers were unsure what to do, like headless flies. This, of course, was also due to the suddenness of the attack.

But the volunteers would not give them time to prepare.

At this time, the rocket artillery regiment's third round of salvos arrived.

In just three short rounds of salvos, with the support of the artillery regiment, the 79th Division had fired nearly 1000 artillery shells at the th Cavalry Regiment camp in a short period of time.

The number is actually not that large.

But the deterrent effect is amazing.

Especially the nearby puppet 79th Regiment, seeing the th Cavalry Regiment being attacked, and such a powerful artillery bombardment, they immediately lost their will to fight. Since the th Division was fighting at night, the troops had quietly approached the enemy camp.

The 79th Division had two regiments, each preparing to attack a camp of the US military and Syngman Rhee's puppet army.

The 237th Regiment was responsible for attacking the 237th Regiment's camp. Although they looked down on the puppet army's combat effectiveness, many of the troops were fighting overseas for the first time. Therefore, the th Regiment made all preparations.

First, the 60mm guns and rocket launchers opened the way.

Then the troops prepared to rush in and divide and surround.

However, they did not expect that the Puppet Seventh Regiment was frightened by the scene of the Eighth Cavalry Regiment being attacked. When the 60mm guns and rocket launchers opened fire, they thought they would also be baptized by the same artillery fire as the Eighth Cavalry Regiment.

As a result, the pseudo 7th Regiment suddenly blew up.

It really was a sudden explosion.

They weren't elite troops to begin with, and many of them were new recruits who had just joined the army. They had never seen such a fierce artillery attack before.

I was stunned for a moment.

In a panic, they wanted to escape. As a result, the pseudo-7th Regiment was in a state where officers could not find soldiers and soldiers could not find officers in the blink of an eye.

An incident later recounted by an American historian in his book occurred. He wrote: "No one knows what happened, but the 7th Regiment was inexplicably defeated." Undoubtedly, the South Korean army was blindly terrified by the sudden Chinese attack; another factor may have been the deep-seated traditional fear of Chinese soldiers among the Koreans. Whatever the cause, the 7th Regiment could not hold out for even twenty minutes, leading to the 8th Cavalry Regiment, already suffering heavy casualties, being surrounded by the Chinese. Ultimately, it became the first regimental unit to be completely annihilated in the Korean War, and the first unit to be disbanded, a fact recorded in the annals of the 1st Cavalry Division.

In fact, this is all beautification.

The puppet 237th Regiment, let alone holding out for twenty minutes, was completely destroyed in less than ten minutes after the rocket artillery regiment launched three salvos. The th Regiment rushed in to find the puppet th Regiment completely without resistance, in complete disarray.

The mission of the 237th Regiment became capturing prisoners rather than fighting.

Of course, it’s not just the pseudo Seventh Regiment that is beautified.

It also includes the Eighth Cavalry Regiment.

In reality, it wasn't the puppet 79th Regiment's bombing that led to the 79th Cavalry Regiment's encirclement and defeat by the 235th Division. The truth was that the 79th Regiment of the 79th Division had penetrated the enemy's rear, cutting off the th Cavalry Regiment's retreat. In fact, before the th Division attacked, both the puppet th Regiment and the th Cavalry Regiment had already been surrounded by the th Division.

Moreover, the 8th Cavalry Regiment was not annihilated because it was surrounded, but because the 8th Cavalry Regiment itself was completely confused.

After three rounds of salvos, the 900th Cavalry Regiment suffered more than casualties.
