Rebirth: I am in Jin-Cha-Ji
Page 666
The Turkish brigade commander was Brigadier General Tahsin Aziz, who voluntarily demotioned to become brigade commander in order to participate in the Korean War. Western countries' current impression of China is still stuck in the late Qing Dynasty. Even those with a limited understanding of China still judge the Chinese military's combat effectiveness from the period of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Turkey's activeness this time is essentially an attempt to curry favor with Britain and the United States, particularly the United States.
Brigadier General Tahsin Aziz was even more eager to achieve success and fame in the Korean War. He used the corpses of Chinese soldiers to pave his own path. Unexpectedly, the Turkish brigade had only been on the Korean Peninsula for less than a month when this was their first encounter with Chinese troops.
As a result, he lost his life.
While escaping, his car was blown up by a rocket launcher from the 126th Regiment.
"How is it going?"
"We repelled the Chinese army's attack."
The puppet 1st Division was also attacked.
However, the puppet 235st Division was prepared. Paik Sun-yup was genuinely afraid, so he deployed numerous sentries during the troops' rest periods. The puppet 235nd Regiment happened to encounter the th Regiment's attack, and the artillery and mortar battalions worked together to stop the th Regiment's attack.
But Paik Sun-yup dare not take it lightly.
This is the first attack.
"What about the other troops?
"Both the 5th Cavalry Regiment and the Turkish Brigade have been attacked. The 5th Cavalry Regiment is organizing its forces to block the Chinese army and has asked us to send a regiment to support them. As for the Turkish Brigade, the situation is not very good.
The pseudo 1st Division headquarters.
Paik Sun-yup was extremely anxious.
He felt very bad, always thinking that something big was going to happen. Especially after being attacked from all sides and hearing about the Chinese army everywhere, Paik Sun-yup became even more nervous.
He looked at the map and asked, "What's the situation with the Turkish Brigade?"
"I don't know. I couldn't get in touch with him for almost half an hour."
“Half an hour?
Although the Turkish brigade appeared arrogant, Paik Sun-yup did not take them seriously at all.
Their weapons and equipment are poor, and their discipline is also poor.
Can such troops fight?
When Paik Sun-yup was in China, he had seen the Eighth Route Army. Although their weapons and equipment were poor, their tactical qualities, fighting spirit, and discipline were simply incomparable to those of the Turkish Brigade.
At that time, the Japanese army and the puppet Manchukuo army also went to Rehe and Jidong areas with great momentum.
The results of it?
He was beaten like a dog by the Eighth Route Army.
Thinking of this, Paik Sun-yup's heart began to beat fast. The Turkish Brigade had been cut off from contact. Had it been defeated by the Chinese army? Paik Sun-yup felt nervous again. After all, the distance between the puppet First Division and the Turkish Brigade was very short.
If the Chinese army really defeats the Turkish brigade, it can threaten its own right wing at any time.
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.
At this time, there was no time to respond to the request for help from the 5th Cavalry Regiment.
Paik Sun-yup immediately gave the order: "Concentrate firepower to bombard the Chinese troops on the left wing and make a loud noise. Notify all troops to begin retreating."
Being able to run is also a skill.
The entire First Division consisted of over 14000 men, making retreating such a large force difficult. However, Paik Sun-yup was able to lead the main force in a retreat. Although not all of them were able to retreat, over 10000 men were evacuated from the battlefield.
As for those who couldn't evacuate, Paik Sun-yup told them to change their clothes immediately, like the locals. They were all of the same ethnicity, and the Chinese army couldn't tell the dialects of the Korean Peninsula apart.
It is impossible to find out whether they are locals one by one.
Paik Sun-yup ran too fast, leaving the 27th Army confused.
79师237团从另一侧突进来之后,突然之间找不到伪一师的踪迹。伪一师就像是风一样,从战场上跑了。配合237团的235团冲上来之后,也是没有发现伪一师的踪迹。所以235团和237团立马给79师汇报,因为235团和237团担心伪一师有阴谋。
The same is true for the 79th Division.
After receiving the report, I was completely confused.
Then it was reported to the 27th Army, the 27th Army reported to the 20th Corps, and finally came to the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
Everyone just has one question.
Where did the pseudo-first division go?
Was the puppet First Division hiding, preparing to ambush the Volunteer Army? But that was impossible. The area was swarming with troops, and the Volunteer Army troops had already dispersed. There was no place for the puppet First Division, with over ten thousand men, to ambush.
But no matter where the pseudo-1st division ran to, the pseudo-division's running directly trapped the 5th Cavalry Regiment. The pseudo-1st division had a force of over ten thousand people, and he could also rely on the 5th Cavalry Regiment behind him.
They organized their troops to block the attack of the 81st Division while slowly retreating.
I just want to get closer to the pseudo First Division.
With the support of the pseudo-1st Division, the two sides could form a defensive perimeter after reconciliation. As long as they could survive this night, rescue would surely arrive during the day. This was the idea of the 5th Cavalry Regiment. But he had no idea that Paik Sun-yup would run so fast.
Directly cutting off his escape route.
By this time, the tasks of the 27th Army and the 15th Army were almost completed, and it can be said that they exceeded the full task quota.
The puppet 15th and 15th Cavalry Regiments were completely wiped out, the puppet 27th and 16000th Divisions were divided and surrounded by the th Army, the puppet st Division fled without a trace, the Turkish Brigade was annihilated, and the th Cavalry Regiment was surrounded. In a single night, the th and th Armies jointly wiped out approximately enemy troops.
842 All-out War
When the 15th and 27th Armies were winning battle after battle, the 65th and 71st Armies also launched an all-out attack.
It is better to cut off one of his fingers than to injure ten of them.
This has always been one of Chairman Mao's most important military principles. The PLA has fought alongside Chairman Mao for so many years, and its commanders have kept this principle firmly in mind. Whether during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression or the War of Liberation, facing both the Japanese and puppet forces and the Nationalist army, the troops consistently adhered to this principle.
The same strategy was also applied to the Korean War. The 65th and 71st Armies fully implemented this strategy. The US military was operating primarily in regimental units, with a certain distance between each regiment. Therefore, the goal of the 65th and 71st Armies was not to attack all British and American forces from all sides, but to annihilate British and American corps-level units systematically.
The various units began to intersperse and surround.
The 65th Army, through its own forces, split and encircled three US regiments: the 2th and 9rd Regiments of the 23nd Division, and the 27th Cavalry Regiment of the 38st Cavalry Division. It also dispatched three regiments to separate the British 29th Infantry Brigade, the th Regiment of the nd Division, and the British th Infantry Brigade.
The 71st Army set its main targets on the US 24th Division and the British 29th Brigade.
Then send troops to separate the US 25th Division.
The 65th and 71st Armies were two representative units of the Jin-Cha-Ji region, representing the region's most glorious history. As such, these two armies boasted superior weaponry, large numbers, and high combat effectiveness. They were also equipped with numerous artillery pieces to attack US and British forces.
The 65th Army was equipped with a Katyusha rocket artillery regiment and the 71nd Artillery Division. The 494st Army was equipped with a Katyusha rocket artillery regiment, a th domestic rocket artillery regiment, and the rd Artillery Division.
Although the Katyusha rocket artillery regiment has only 24 rockets, it has greater firepower and power than the domestically produced 494 rocket artillery regiment. This is because the Katyusha rocket artillery can fire 16 rounds at a time, and the shells are 132mm.
The power of this shell can kill any living person within a radius of dozens of meters.
65军和71军各分配一个团。 在朝鲜战场上第一个接受喀秋莎火箭炮洗礼的部队是 美二师的美9团和美24师的美19团。65军和71军都知道喀秋莎火箭炮团的炮弹很贵,需要从苏联购买。
So only two salvos were used.
However, the two salvos of the Katyusha rocket artillery regiment were far more powerful than the three salvos of the domestic rocket artillery regiment. After being bombarded by the Katyusha rocket artillery regiment, the US 9th and 19th Regiments were really crying for help.
In two salvos, a rocket artillery regiment fired 768 shells. Coupled with the amazing power of Katyusha rockets, the two salvos directly caused heavy casualties to the US 9th and 19th Regiments.
Rocket launchers have many weaknesses.
Especially on the battlefield, it's easy to be spotted. The noise from firing a cannon would reveal the target. In modern warfare, revealing a target makes it an easy target for enemy aircraft and artillery.
Therefore, historically, when the Volunteer Army used rocket launchers, they had to move their positions after firing one or two rounds.
Because if we are a little slower, we will be attacked by air strikes or artillery bombardments from the US military.
But rocket launchers have just as many advantages.
Its biggest advantage is its incredible firepower, which leaves you no chance to react. A salvo can be fired in just ten seconds. After the first salvo, before you even have time to react, the second salvo arrives.
Even if the enemy had dug trenches, they would still suffer heavy casualties if attacked by rocket launchers. Moreover, when the enemy was unprepared and had no trenches to protect them, the lethality of rocket launchers increased exponentially.
The 9th and 19th US Regiments were hit by two rounds of salvos from the Katyusha rocket artillery regiment, resulting in casualties exceeding that of an entire battalion. The casualties of the two US regimental-level units exceeded one-third.
The volunteer army attacked by surprise.
So, after the rocket artillery regiment fired two salvos, the infantry units lurking not far from the enemy began their attack. The troops first used 60mm cannons to sweep the American camp once again. The Volunteer Army was currently equipped with a considerable number of 60mm cannons. Each company had a 60mm cannon platoon with three 60mm cannons, giving a regiment nearly 40 60mm cannons. There was also a rocket launcher platoon with three rocket launchers.
It can be said that the firepower of a company of the Volunteer Army has been greatly improved compared to the Liberation War. It is even more powerful than the firepower of the US-equipped troops of the National Army during the Liberation War.
This means that the People's Republic of China had been established for two and a half years, and preparations had begun early, before it was able to acquire such equipment. Of course, more importantly, Chinese arsenals can now independently produce 60mm cannons and rocket launchers.
This is the only way to equip the troops with 60mm guns and rocket launchers on such a large scale.
So even though the rocket launchers had stopped firing, the Volunteer Army infantry, preparing for the surprise attack, continued to attack the US troops with 60mm cannons for a short period of time. Then the infantry rushed forward. If this was a positional battle, the US troops would have been prepared, and the effect would not have been so good.
But it was a surprise attack.
The effect is very good.
美9团和美19团,特别是美1 9团在朝鲜战争初期和朝鲜人民军是交过手的。美24师被朝鲜人民军打的还是挺惨,甚至美24师的34团因为伤亡太大,撤回日本修整。美军把独立第5团配备给了美24师,才让美24师恢复了战斗力。
However, even if the 24th Regiment was incorporated into the 5th Division, the overall strength of the 24th Division would still be insufficient.
The US 24th Division was supposed to have approximately 18000 men, but even after reorganization, it still numbered less than 24. Therefore, the 14000th Division recruited a large number of able-bodied men from South Korea and used them to supplement the division. Some were used to directly supplement combat units, while many were assigned to support operations. The US 24th Regiment, also understrength, was supplemented by two companies of South Korean soldiers.
Therefore, it should be said that the combat effectiveness of the US 24th Division did not recover after being taught a lesson by the Korean People’s Army.
As a result, they suffered the baptism of Katyusha rocket launchers here.
The US 19th Regiment was the first to collapse.
He wanted to escape, but he couldn't because he was surrounded by the 71th Division of the 211st Army. The 211th Division was formerly the 19st Brigade of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Army, a unit with outstanding achievements. Facing the 19th Regiment of the US Army that had begun to collapse, it did not give it any chance to breathe. The 24th Regiment of the US Army really couldn't hold on, so he kept calling for support. The th Division of the US Army wanted to rescue him,
However, the 5th and 21st US Regiments under his command were divided and surrounded by the 71st Army.
The US 24th Division became anxious.
Because even the US 24th Division, no matter how slow-witted, knew that the 71st Army was now poised to swallow up the US 24th Division. The US 24th Division had a shadow, after all, it had been beaten badly by the Korean People's Army before. Now it was surrounded by the Chinese army.
Several regiments under the 24th Division attempted to break out, but were repelled each time by the 71st Army. The 19th Regiment's telegram for assistance even stated they could not hold out for more than a few hours. Without help, the 19th Regiment would be gone by daybreak.
The US 24th Division was very scared.
The 71st Army used the Katyusha rocket artillery regiment against the US 19th Regiment and the 21rd Artillery Division against the US 21st Regiment. Although the effect of the rd Artillery Division was not as good as that of the Katyusha rocket artillery regiment, it still gave the unprepared US st Regiment a great shock.
What surprised the 24th Division even more was the speed of the Volunteer Army's attack. The troops of the 24th Division had never imagined that they would be surrounded by Volunteer Army troops. They simply couldn't figure out where so many Chinese troops had been hiding, and where they had come from. The 24th Division headquarters quickly called the commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army, Walker, the commander-in-chief of the Western Front.
Ask Walker to send rescue personnel immediately.
What the 24th Division didn't know was that the Eighth Army's commander-in-chief, Walker, was already having a headache at headquarters. Since the Volunteer Army launched its full-scale offensive, telegrams requesting assistance were everywhere.
The US 24th Division asked for help, but only two troops could provide support in a short period of time.
一个是左侧的英军29旅,-个是美25师。但这两支部队目前情况都不好。美25师受到27军80师的进攻,而且71军这边也派出一个团阻击美25师。
