Volume 7 peninsula smoke chapter 139 initial results
It proves that it is no worse than the 39th Army, and the 38th Army's offensive actions are extremely decisive and resolute.
On the eastern battlefield of 27,000 square kilometers, the 38th Army, which has only three combat brigades, is not huge. Although the Korean Army's 38th Army faced by the 38th Army belongs to the "newly formed legion", with the main force being one armored division and three infantry divisions, its combat effectiveness is not strong. Except for the main force, the other armored brigade and 27 infantry divisions are either reorganized from the broken troops or temporarily formed "militia".
Before the battle began, the 38th Army "invite" the special forces directly under the General Staff to carry out a special mission.
Relying on tactical intelligence provided by the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, special forces infiltrated the Korean military defense line ambushed a South Korean military convoy near Yangkou to the east of Chunchuan, capturing a senior army staff member who went to Yuantongli to inspect the Infantry Division, as well as several accompanying officers of the Division.
After the interrogation, it was learned that the combat effectiveness of the Korean Army's First Army was very low.
Except for the main division, other troops either have dissipated morale or lack weapons and equipment. Among the temporary infantry divisions, only 60% of the soldiers received guns. The materials were extremely scarce. If logistics support was interrupted, the materials hoarded by each unit were only enough to last for 12 to 24 hours.
What made the 38th Army generals and senior officers even more unbelievable was that the South Korean Army's First Regiment Army did not concentrate on using the main force and deployed the main divisions at locations. If the South Korean Army's main divisions were concentrated together, it would definitely cause considerable trouble for the army.
Only after obtaining the first move did Major General Tang Yinglong gain confidence in Pei Chengyi's combat plan.
Although the South Korean Army's First Regiment Army claims to have a total strength of 10,000, troops with insufficient guns cannot block the torrent of steel no matter how many troops are.
From Shucao, the three combat brigades of the 38th Army were divided into three routes and attacked in the direction of Yuantongli, Cangcun and Jiangling.
In order to enhance the troops' ability to quickly break through, General Tang Yinglong's direct artillery brigade was divided into three parts and supplemented with combat effectiveness. Because the direct artillery brigade of the army participated in the artillery preparations, it was an hour later than the combat brigade.
According to Pei Chengyi's plan for the ground war. The 38th Army first dealt with the six Korean infantry divisions gathered between Yuantongli-Cangcun-Chengshanli, mainly with the Infantry Division, and strived to complete the battle interspersed operation within 12 hours after the start of the battle. Then, with the cooperation of the 1511th Air Brigade and the 7711th Quick Resistance Brigade.
In order to reduce the pressure on the 38th military and local governments, the 7711th Brigade of the Quick Rebellion captured the city.
It has to be admitted that the attack speed of armored troops in front of weak enemies is far less than that of fast anti-troop.
The 7711th Brigade occupied Chengshanli just as soon as 8 o'clock.
If Pei Chengyi had not strictly prohibited the 77th Army from leaving other combat troops and attacking alone, the 7711th Brigade of Quick Resistance would have been likely to attack before the 3811th Brigade and the 382nd Brigade of Armored Capture Yuantongli and Cangcun.
After stopping, the 7711th Brigade of the Kuaishou Rebel began to do something very important: deploy artillery positions.
Although the largest north-south depth of the eastern battlefield is close to 200 kilometers and 150 kilometers wide from east to west, long-range artillery equipped with large-caliber howitzers with a maximum range of more than 5 meters do not need to be accompanied by armored troops assaults. They only need to follow 20 to 3 meters behind the armored troops to provide firepower support to the armored troops.
Ling Yunxiao, who followed the 773rd Brigade of Kuaishou, left the direct artillery brigade of the army to the 771st Brigade of Kuaishou.
Before the annihilation war began, the soldiers were the main support firepower of the ground troops.
When deploying artillery positions, the brigade direct reconnaissance battalion of the 7711 Brigade of the brigade was only equipped with a direct reconnaissance battalion under the brigade-level combat units, and assaulted eastward under the cover of the armed helicopter of the 1511 Brigade of the Air and the 1511 Brigade of the Air and the 1511 Brigade of the Air and the 1511 Brigade of the Air and the 1511 Brigade of the reconnaissance mission.
This move is a bit redundant, as low-altitude assault forces are sufficient to complete reconnaissance missions.
At 9:30, the Armored 381 Brigade arrived in Yuantongli.
It took nearly half an hour for the Armor 382 to arrive in Cang Village.
Although it was one and a half to two hours later than the 7711th Brigade of the Fast Resistance, judging by the assault speed of the armored troops, the assault speed of the two armored brigades of the 38th Army was not slow at all. Within more than two hours, the 3811th Brigade and the 382nd Brigade of the Armored raided kilometers and 62 kilometers respectively!
At 1c, 15, the bombing began.
In order to prevent the three Korean infantry divisions stationed in Chunchuan from moving south to the 6m fleet again, they threw more than 500 tons of aviation bombs at the Korean military positions and camps.
The focus of bombing was the Korean Infantry Division, which was retreating towards Chengshanli.
Within the clock, the Air Force and HNA dispatched fighter jets 4, which were distributed within more than 1,500 square kilometers, dropped more than 840 tons of bombs. Because the Korean Infantry Division had nearly a thousand combat vehicles of various types, the fighter jets not only used anti-personnel ammunition and used a large amount of anti-armor ammunition.
The most used one is the "cluster bomb" that was once prohibited by international law.
What is a "cluster bomb"? The international community has never given a clear definition. Strictly speaking, the armored personnel and mother bombs are "cluster bombs". Although since the 1990s, the international community has been calling for the ban on the use of "cluster bombs" in war, many countries, including the United States, still use "cluster bombs" in large quantities in wars. The reason is very simple, "cluster bombs" have an irreplaceable role.
For example, the largest amount of a 250 kilogram-level ordinary bomb
The diameter will not exceed 150 meters, and the killing area of the incendiary bomb of the same weight will not be >: square meters, while the coverage range of a 250 kilogram-level anti-personnel mother-child bomb equipped with 300 sub-munitions exceeds that of 300 square meters, which poses a threat to exposed personnel far exceeds that of ordinary bombs and incendiary bombs.
What's even more terrifying is that mother-child bombs can set different detonation methods and detonation times for sub-munitions.
It is not difficult to eliminate a bomb without explosion, but it is absolutely difficult to eliminate hundreds of small bombs without explosion. Therefore, mother-child bombs can also play a role in delaying the speed of enemy movement in actual combat.
After the bombing, the artillery troops that were accompanied by the operation of three assault troops began to swing.
Relying on tactical intelligence provided by scouts and low-altitude assault forces, the artillery focused on attacking Korean military vehicles and gathered personnel.
Because the Korean army lacks armored power, most of the tanks belong to "semi-armored targets", artillery mainly uses air bomb shells that can deal with exposed personnel and semi-armored targets.
For the marching Korean infantry, bombing and shelling caused most of the casualties.
What are the infantry the most? Actual combat has repeatedly proved that what infantry fears most is not powerful enemies, but that they are unable to fight back when attacked by the enemy.
As long as there is a chance to fight back, the infantry will have the will to fight!
At this time, the Korean army was facing a dilemma of "only being beaten but not fighting back."
Whether it is continuing to advance into the city, returning to Yuantongli, or heading south to Cang Village, the Korean infantry exposed in the wilderness, cannot escape bombardment and artillery.
At 11 o'clock, the second round of bombing began.
Because the South Korean army is too dispersed, the fighter jets of the Air Force and HNA mainly use "small-diameter bombs". To be precise, it should be "limited killing ammunition", because "small-diameter bombs" are the name of the US military.
In order to relieve the pressure on the Air Force and HNA, the armed helicopters of the 1511th Air Brigade were responsible for the "key removal" mission.
It has to be admitted that the Republic Air Force and HNA have a serious flaw: the lack of close-range ground-based support attack aircraft.
Simply put, it is a11cb and q5m, equipped with thick armor, and is not afraid of the enemy's small-caliber air artillery fire: a fighter jet that provides firepower support to ground troops at ultra-low altitude and extremely close range.
Whether it is j14 or j15, it is too fine and expensive.
Although j14 and j15 were laid on the periphery of the pilot's cockpit with a layer of armor that was sufficient to resist small-caliber shells and shrapnel, key parts including the motor and electric action mechanism were not protected by armor. These 2 fighters with low-altitude performance and good bomb loading capabilities were not suitable for performing close-range low-altitude support tasks.
In the second round of bombing, at least one J-1j15 South Korean army's small-caliber anti-aircraft gun and shoulder-mounted air defense missile were shot down. Although the pilots were successfully rescued, the Air Force and HNA no longer dared to use expensive tactical fighters to drop bombs on the enemy's heads. The pilots were not allowed to reduce the flight altitude to less than 5,000 meters!
The second round of bombing is still in progress, and the low-altitude assault troops of the 151st Air Force Brigade, which was responsible for the "main offensive" mission, launched an operation.
Using the enemy's radio activities provided by dy14, the 1511th Air Brigade mastered the accurate locations of the Korean Infantry Division and command centers at all levels.
After 2 bombings and 1 round of artillery attack, the Korean Infantry Division had lost its fighting spirit.
The best way to defeat the enemy is to destroy the enemy's command center and allow the enemy to surrender without obtaining unified command.
The assault troops raided the Korean Infantry Division headquarters at 12:25.
The battle lasted only 15 minutes, and the two air raid companies that carried out the raid mission eliminated the Korean military guards as quickly as possible, and captured more than 30 Korean generals and officers, including major general division commanders.
At 12:30 assault troops were in combat again, focusing on supporting the air rushing companies.
Although only more than 200 people were supported by artillery and aviation, the two air rushing companies blocked several rounds of attacks from at least two Korean infantry battalions.
At 13:15, the commander of the Korean Infantry Division was successfully "persuaded" and issued a surrender order to the entire division.
Although sporadic battles lasted until around 18 o'clock, it took only 3 hours from 115 to 13:15 that the brigade wiped out the Korean Infantry Division, which had a total strength of more than 1 person.
When the military strength advantage is not very obvious, annihilation of 1 division in 3 hours is definitely a new record in the history of war.
By 19:30, the other five Korean infantry divisions following the activities of the Infantry Division successively announced their surrender.
Compared with the Infantry Division, the other five infantry divisions are temporary units, with a force ranging from 6,000 to 1,200c, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of the Infantry Division.
From 7:15, the 77th Army left the offensive position, the first annihilation battle on the eastern battlefield took only 12 hours and 15.
In this battle to annihilate 6 Korean infantry divisions and annihilate more than 60,000 enemies, 124 officers and soldiers were killed in battle brigade and 300 disabled. The "death exchange ratio" with the enemy reached 1 to 87.
