I have to admit that Duqiwei is a talented and very talented person

Without Duchewei, the US military would not only lose faster, but also lose more miserably.

There are many reasons for the poor performance of the US military, such as the military ideological transformation after the Cold War, the army transformed, and the cutting down almost all weapons and equipment development plans established during the Cold War; several regional wars consumed a lot of military expenditure, resulting in slowing down the procurement of equipment, and ground troops rely heavily on air support; the anti-terrorism war emphasized the forces' coordinated combat capabilities, which enabled the army's equipment to be lighter, etc.

These reasons have led to a result: the U.S. ground forces have severely lacked independent combat capabilities.

Whether it is the US Army or the Marine Corps, in the absence of heavy equipment, without air support or long-range artillery support, what should we use to fight against the Republic Army, which is good at independent combat?

The key to the US military failing to retreat quickly is Duchewei.

In addition to stabilizing the Marines in Linchanli and the Battle, Du Qiwei also did a very important thing before the battle started, ordering the Marines advancing towards Qingjin to stop advancing and retreat to the Beijing Youth League to organize defense.

This order almost saved two US Marine divisions.

From this we can see Duqiwei's ability.

The more fierce the attacks of the 54th Army and the 37th Army, the faster the US Marines retreat south, the pressure will eventually be passed to the 153rd Airborne Brigade of the Five Elders. In order to prevent the 153rd Airborne Brigade from being defeated by the surging US troops and to prevent the US Marines from abandoning rescue operations, the 54th Army and the 37th Army will not destroy the US military in the form of a large-scale annihilation war, and will conduct multiple interspersed divisions during the battle and gradually encroach on the US military. Therefore, the annihilation war takes a long time. In order to achieve the goal of completely annihilation of the US Marines, the Republic's Army must dispatch a main force to encircle the US Marines from the flank with a strategic-level large-scale deep interspersed operation. The airborne troops and air assault forces cannot complete this level of interspersed operation, and can only dispatch ground forces with strong armored forces.

At that time, he could appear on the battlefield. Only the 38th Army entered the northeast from the 38th Army.

Pei Chengyi placed the strongest combat-capable army in the most remote corner, just to paralyze the US commander and let the 38th Army enter the rear of the US military by long-distance raiding. He completed the strategic encirclement operation and entered the North Korea rear. The 38th Army was very staggering in the speed of advancement. In addition to having to stop and charge the electric combat vehicles, he was almost moving forward.

Duqiwei left 2,000 Marines in Beijing Youth League to prevent the flanks from being threatened.

After the 38th Army came, Du Qiwei admired the opponent's courage and was also grateful. If the 1st Marine Division was still advancing towards Qingjin, he might have been eaten by the 38th Army on the road. For the US Army at this time, 2,000 combat troops were related to the final success or failure.

Duqiwei didn't know that he was just a colonel adviser!

As the vanguard of the 38th Army advanced towards the North Qing Dynasty, fierce battles were inevitable.

Compared with the villages and towns in central North Korea, the Beijing Youth League, with a population of 10,000, is definitely a "big city".

The offensive and defensive battle of Beijing Youth League became the first urban war fought by the Chinese and American troops in the Peninsula War. Ironically, the US military in the past invading cities and land on the battlefield became the guards of the city!

Facing the Beijing Youth League, the most headache is definitely Brigade General Tian Yi, the commander of the 3811th Armored Brigade. The fastest update is 1$6$k

After entering the court, the 3811th Armored Brigade rushed to the front of the entire army. Unlike other brigade commanders, Tian Yi did not command the battle in the rear, but instead followed the 38111th Armored Battalion. For this reason, more than a dozen command vehicles of the brigade headquarters and hundreds of logistics support vehicles were not allowed to "charge into battle" with Tian Yi.

There is no way to do this.

The combat orders were very clear, and the 38th Army must advance towards Hamxing as quickly as possible.

In order to speed up the "Sharp Knife Camp", it is necessary to accompany the "vehicle-mounted controllable fusion power supply station" and let the brigade department follow the battalion department.

Before arriving at Beijing Youth League, Tian Yi’s main job was to arrange logistics support.

Before dawn on the 24th, the 38111th Battalion and the 3813th Battalion left Liyuan and advanced north along the coastal highway.

Then they arrived at the Armored Battalion of the 3812th Battalion and the 3811th Machine Bus Battalion stayed in Liyuan for one hour and advanced to Sanli along the highway.

The attacking troops had already begun, but the siege battle did not start immediately.

After arriving at the eastern suburbs of Beiqing, Tian Yi stopped the troops.

Because the advancement was too fast, the artillery battalion had not arrived in Liyuan, and the army's direct long-range artillery could only reach Duanchuan after 0:30. No air support is a small matter, and no artillery support is a big matter. No matter how brave Tian Yi was, he would not attack a "big city" guarded by 2,000 enemies without artillery support.

At this time, Tian Yi already knew that the US military turned the Beijing Youth League into a "military fortress."

At 9:55, two battalions surrounded by the north captured Sanqili. Then, the 3815th Battalion and the 38166th Battalion rushed to the eastern suburbs of Beiqing.

After the troops were launched, Tian Yi asked the 38133rd Battalion to release a small unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

The situation in the Beiqing city was revealed in front of Tian Yi at a glance.

"Calibrate the artillery area as soon as possible and give the information to the artillery battalion."

The staff officer didn't say anything, and they all knew what to do without the brigade commander giving orders.

The front-line command center is "patched together" by several command vehicles, and the space is not spacious and can accommodate up to 0 people.

"Brig Commander, the artillery battalion entered the position."

field

He frowned and said, "When will the long-range artillery arrive?"

"Half an hour left."

"Let the artillery battalion unfold on the position, and after the artillery preparation is over, provide artillery support to the offensive forces."

The order was conveyed quickly, and the news was sent to the long-range artillery soldiers who had just arrived in Duanchuan.

At 0:20, the long-range artillery entered the position.

Because of its huge scale, it took 15 minutes for the military's direct long-range artillery brigade to fully unfold.

The shelling started from 1. According to the battlefield information provided by the offensive troops, more than 300 howitzers and more than 00 rocket launchers were successively carried out to the Beiqing urban area divided into twelve regions.

At 0:55, the Sharp Knife troops of the 38111th Battalion cooperated with the 3813th Battalion to invade the Beiqing City.

From the beginning, the battle was very fierce.

In order to compete for a highway bridge in the Nanren River, a bridgehead that entered the Beiqing city, the Tank Company of the 38111th Battalion, with the support of the infantry company of the 3813th Battalion, fought fiercely with the US military, but was eventually blown off the bridge by the US military.

Fortunately, Nanrenjiang is not wide and not very deep.

At 11:25, more than 20 dz211 main battle tanks and more than 30 db22 infantry fighting vehicles "diving" across the Nanren River and rushed to the west bank of the river.

After the sharp knife troops controlled the river beach positions, the engineer company quickly advanced.

Tanks and infantry fighting vehicles can submerge, but other vehicles cannot submerge. They must set up pontoon bridges, and the more the better.

The US military launched a counterattack at this time, hoping to fight back the enemy who was preparing to cross the river.

The artillery battalion deployed in Liyuan played a key role. With the support of 155mm howitzers, the Sharp Knife troops occupied the river beach positions and successively repelled the US offensive, annihilated more than 300 US troops, and destroyed more than 30 tanks and tanks.

After working hard for half an hour, the Engineer Company set up a mechanical pontoon bridge on the Nanren River.

Tian Yi did not waste any more time and immediately ordered the 38111th Battalion and the 3813th Battalion to attack the city, and the 3815th Battalion and the 38166th Battalion acted as reserves.

At 12:30, the 3812th Battalion and the 3814th Battalion arrived at Decheng, north of Beiqing.

Because it was temporarily unable to send more troops to Decheng, Tian Yi turned the troops heading south into defense, and used large-caliber mortars in the North Qingbei City area to bombard the commanding heights of Beiqing Beicheng District and suppress the US military. In order to enhance the continuous firepower of the northern combat troops, Tian Yi also applied to the military headquarters that afternoon to transport a batch of large-caliber mortars and artillery shells to Decheng using helicopters.

If elsewhere, Duchiwei would definitely let the defenders retreat.

The defenders of the Beijing Youth League not only cannot retreat, but must also defend the enemy to the death.

At less than 13 o'clock, Du Qiwei asked an infantry battalion stationed in Xinpu to go to Beiqing, and then issued a death order to Colonel Gates, the commander of the Beiqing defender, to hold on for more than 2 days no matter what.

The question is, can the US military, with only half a brigade, last for 2 days in front of the most powerful armored brigade of the 38th Army?

The battle in the east of Beiqing City lasted for an afternoon, and neither side retreated, fighting for every street and every building.

The shortcomings of the Republic's Army in siege operations were exposed.

Although the main battle tank of the dz211 is enough to resist the attack of US individual anti-tank missiles and the machine gun of the db22 is enough to deal with the enemies in the building, it is difficult for the armored troops to deploy in the city and it is difficult to exert powerful assault power.

Artillery is the real threat to the US military.

After fighting until 16:30, Tian Yi allowed the offensive troops to be defensive on the spot.

Before dark, the 38115th Battalion and the 38166th Battalion quickly penetrated south, sweeping all the US military strongholds in the suburbs of Beiqing, and finally arrived at the west side of Beiqing, cutting off the highway and railway from Beiqing to Xinpu, completing the encirclement operation of Beiqing.

After nightfall, long-range artillery began to shell the Beijing Youth League again.

At 19:20, the 383rd Aircraft Inspector, which followed the 3811th Armored Brigade, arrived at the battlefield.

Two brigades and tens of thousands of officers and soldiers surrounded the Beijing Youth League.

According to Tian Yi's arrangement, all the attacking troops turned into defense at night and did not continue to advance. The shelling continued intermittently all night.

Although the US military is still holding on, as the shelling deepens, fewer and fewer buildings are available for the US military to guard.

Tian Yi’s idea is very simple. Since the US military is huddled into the city, it will turn the city into ruins, leaving the US military with nowhere to defend.

Compared with the blood and life of the soldiers of the Republic's army, no matter how many shells are used, it is worth it. The fastest update is 1/6/k

The basic situation prompted Tian Yi to choose "extreme" tactics is that after the Beijing Youth League was occupied by the US military, most of the residents either fled to the countryside in the suburbs or flocked to the Republic with the army of refugees. Before the 38th Army surrounded the Beijing Youth League, there would be no more than 5,000 residents in the city.

Although 5,000 people are not small, it is nothing compared to the original: <10,000 residents.

The biggest lesson that the Battle of Beijing Youth League gave to the Republic's Army was that whether it was a tank or an infantry unit, it was difficult to gain advantage in cities with strong defense without suitable weapons and equipment.
