The first two battles were different, and the focus of the third battle was on the western battlefield.

When formulating the battle plan, Pei Chengyi and Xiang Yinghui had relatively big differences on the issue of attacking and opening the city.

Xiang Yinghui believed that it was necessary to capture Kaicheng to ensure the safety and smoothness of the logistics support line. If the offensive troops cannot capture Incheon Port on time and restore throughput operations in Incheon Port, they can only rely on the ground transportation network to provide materials for the combat troops. Kaicheng is the most important strategic material transit center in the north and south of the 38th Line, and Kaicheng must be captured.

Pei Chengyi believed that there was no need to attack Kaicheng with all his strength. Although the railway transportation line through Kaicheng is very important, the railway system of North and South Korea is different. Even if Kaicheng is occupied, the materials must be transported to Wenshan by road. Because the army has occupied Tieyuan, the railway network in the eastern part of the peninsula can be used to transport materials to Pingkang, north of the 38th Line, and then transport materials to Xintan, south of Tieyuan (the railway line directly to Seoul) to solve the problem of logistics support. The importance of Kaicheng is not obvious. If the troops are concentrated to attack Kaicheng, it will inevitably restrain a large number of combat troops and have an adverse impact on the attack on Seoul.

In the end, Xiang Yinghui made a concession and asked Pei Chengyi to "let go and do it."

Without concentrating troops to open the city, it does not mean that Kaicheng is irrelevant. After all, Kaicheng has gathered about 150,000 Korean troops. If this force is allowed to rush out, the logistics support of the Republic's Army will be fatally threatened.

When the 39th Army entered the battle, Pei Chengyi had more choices.

Previously, Pei Cheng considered to let the 611th Army or the 27th Army besiege Kaicheng, and the troops responsible for offensive tasks headed south directly. Since the 39th Army had strong troops, there was no need to let other troops take the field.

Before the battle began, Pei Chengyi went to the 39th Army headquarters to discuss combat operations with Lieutenant General Su Jinhui.

Pei Yi may not care about other commanders, but he must not care about Su Jinhui.

In history, the commanders of the 39th Army were all "extraordinary figures".

Su Jinhui has a very deep background. His grandfather was a founding general of the Republic. His father once served as commander of a certain military region and chief of staff of the Army. In his generation, his elder brother Su Jinkang was the commander of the air force of a certain military region, his second brother Su Jinye was the commander of the 1st Marine Division of the Marine Corps, and his younger brother Su Jinfang was the commander of a certain tactical missile force of the Army. His brother-in-law Yang Shixiong and his brother-in-law Yin Ziqiang were the generals of the Air Force and the Navy respectively. There were five cousins ​​who were active generals.

With such a deep background, let alone Pei Yi, even Xiang Yinghui has to give Su Jinhui a face.

Among the many brothers, Su Jinhui's achievements were not the highest, but the most "glorious". Because his father went to the other military region to serve as commander when he failed to become the commander of the 39th Army. It can be said that Su Jinhui fulfilled his father's long-cherished wish.

Unlike other generals from other military families, Su Jinhui is very "significant".

Although Pei Chengyi asked Su Jinhui about the opinions and suggestions on the battle plan in a solicitation manner, Su Jinhui did not make any request. He expressed his absolute obedience to the command of the front. Many years later, Pei Chengyi learned from Xiang Yinghui. Before the 39th Army headed to the front line, Zhao Rundong and Peng Maobang talked to Su Jinhui respectively. The two greeted Su Jinhui and asked him to put down his airs and follow the overall situation.

In any case, a commander who obeys command is much easier to deal with than a commander who is unauthorized.

After the battle began, the 9th Army split up. In addition to the 396th Brigade who arrived last, they remained as a reserve team, all five combat brigades and three artillery brigades were dispatched.

With the cooperation of the 399th Artillery Brigade, the 393rd Armored Brigade and the 395th Armored Brigade surrounded Kaicheng.

Armored 3911 Brigade, 392nd Brigade and 394th Brigade, with the support of the 397th Artillery Brigade and 398th Artillery Brigade, arrived at Wenchuan as fast as possible, and then launched an assault on Zhongyadong in the south. According to Pei Chengyi's combat plan, the 394th Brigade who rushed to the front must capture Zhongyadong before noon, and arrive in Tutang northwest of Seoul before 17:30, and then advance south at night to cut off the ground traffic between Seoul and Fuchuan. Two armored brigades marched into Fuchuan and Incheon to open the passage, preventing the Korean army from assaulting westward.

In order to strengthen the assault force of the 394th 394th 394th 394th 3 sent the 162nd brigade and 172nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 392nd 3

The focus of the attack of the 394 is speed, not how many enemies are annihilated.

Before the 3rd Army of the South Korean Army responded, the enemies of Bucheon and Incheon must be cut out to create opportunities for capturing Incheon.

Su Jinhui, who was already aged, followed the troops to rush forward like Ling Yunxiao in his 30s.

Su Jinhui is not a fool. If the 39th Army cannot fight well, not only will the 39th Army's "Ace" status be challenged, but the future will also be "challenged".

At 7 o'clock, he arrived in Wenchuan with a protrusion of 394.

The battle to capture Zhongyadong was very easy to fight the two Korean infantry battalions guarding the area only carried out limited resistance, and then retreated to the south to leave the position of the 394th garrison.

After the Armored 3911 Brigade following behind cleared the battlefield, Su Jinhui commanded the 394th 394 to continue to move south.

The one who rushed in the front was not the armored troops, but the armed helicopters of the air 162.

At 13 o'clock, the 394th Brigade of the 394th Brigade arrived in Tutang, about an hour earlier than the battle plan required.

Because of the time is very sufficient, Su Jinhui did not let the ground troops launch a charge.

Bombing and artillery began at 13:50, and the aviation and artillery took turns to fight, repeatedly attacking South Korean positions with a firepower intensity of nearly 0~: per minute.

16:30

Without a single shot from the face, the Korean army who was holding the Tutang was

Taking advantage of the rare rest opportunity, Su Jinhui allocated ammunition originally assigned to the 3911 Armored Brigade to the 394th Cracks, and required all combat units of the brigade to carry ammunition at the maximum base and prepare for a long-distance raid.

At 18 o'clock, it was just dark, and the 394th Brigade of the 394th Brigade set out from the earth hall and advanced southward.

At this time, the South Korean army had already reacted, and at least two infantry divisions stationed in Seoul began to advance towards Bucheon, while the South Korean army stationed in Bucheon and Incheon had entered the defensive position.

Facing the two Korean infantry divisions with a total force of more than 2,500c, the 394th Brigade of the Armed Forces did not stop advancing.

At 20:20, the head unit of the 394th troop encountered a Korean infantry near Yongdempo to the west of Seoul.

Field battles are the battles that the 39th Army is best at, and the battles that the armored assault forces are best at.

Although the main battle tanks of the Armored Strike Brigade are only about half of the armored brigade (infantry fighting vehicles are one-third more than those of the Armored brigade), the Korean infantry has almost no armored power and seriously lacks anti-armor means. In addition, the firepower support provided by the Air Force and the Army's direct long-range artillery, only one-fifth of the South Korean army's 394 has absolute initiative.

After several armored groups, the Korean infantry was divided into 6 parts.

It is a powerful armored assault force and has fought a beautiful "sports annihilation battle".

In order to attract the attention of the Korean army, Su Jinhui even a armored battalion and a Jibu battalion bypassed Yongdengpo, detoured towards Seoul, and made an attack on Seoul.

Although no one thinks that less than 1c00 troops of two battalions can capture Seoul with ten thousand defenders, which is called "impure" by Liu Zongchun, the attack launched by the 394th escort towards Seoul still played a significant role, forcing the South Korean army to stop attacking westwards and mobilize at least 3 infantry divisions to block two assault battalions.

Use 3 divisions and more than 30,000 troops to deal with 2 battalions!

The war has reached this point, which can only be regarded as the tragedy of South Korea.

Su Jinhui flew into the direction of Seoul and made a fuss. The real "sharp knife" did not aim at Seoul, but at Bucheon and Incheon.

The importance of Bucheon is no less than that of Incheon, because the railways and highways that come out of Incheon have to pass through Bucheon.

The one who attacked Bucheon was Armored 392, and the one who attacked Incheon was Armored 3911 Brigade.

At 211:30, Su Jinhui took a helicopter to leave the 394th Brigade of the Armored Brigade and headed to the 3911th Brigade.

At this time, in addition to the Air Combus 172 being responsible for supporting the 391st Armored Brigade, Su Jinhui also sent the independent Land Aviation Brigade, which belongs to the 39th Army, that is, the Land Aviation 90.

At 22 o'clock, the 3911 Armored Brigade, supported by the 172nd Air Force armed helicopter, invaded Incheon.

Just 15 minutes later, more than 200 helicopters from 390 sailed to 3,500 and more than 3,500 assault troops were sent to Incheon Port.

Very standard "three-dimensional offensive".

The fierce attack of the 3911 Armored Brigade on the periphery restrained most of Incheon's defensive forces, making Incheon's defense "tight outside and loose inside", creating the most ideal offensive conditions for the assault troops.

The point is still how to seize Incheon Port quickly and quickly.

According to Pei Seung-yi's request, the 39th Army must capture Incheon Port before the South Korean army destroys the infrastructure!

Air support and artillery support were also adjusted at this time. The Air Force and HNA focused on bombing the South Korean army near the port area to prevent the South Korean army from moving to the port, and the artillery "cleared" the South Korean army's fortifications at a designated location to provide precise firepower for the assault forces.

Only at this time did the Korean army suddenly realize that the target of the enemy's attack was Incheon.

But, it's too late!

At 23:15, Armor 392 began to attack Fuchuan.

In order to eliminate the Korean army's vital forces and quickly occupy Incheon and Bocheon, the armored brigade of the 39th Army adopted the "long-term" tactic.

The 392nd Armored Brigade did not blindly block the road from Bocheon to Incheon, but was "released" by the Korean army from time to time.

Of course, the South Korean army in Bucheon will never reach Incheon because there are combat troops of the 3911 Armored Brigade who had already set up their formations in front of them; the South Korean army will never expect to return to Bucheon because the 392 armored has blocked the retreat passage.

For the six Korean infantry divisions stationed in Incheon and Bucheon, about 80,000 officers and soldiers, the hour from the night of the 11th to the early morning of the 12th is the most painful time in life.

The battle in the port ended around 4:30 am on the 12th.

Just after 5 o'clock, the low-altitude assault troops of the 172nd Air Brigade began to descent in Fuchuan City. Then, armored 392, which was in full attack, attacked Fuchuan City.

After the command was occupied by low-altitude assault troops, the Fuchuan defenders surrendered at 8 o'clock.

At 9:30 on the 12th, the army surrendered to the 3911 Armored Brigade.

In less than 26 hours, the 39th Army completed the combat mission in the first phase of the battle and captured Incheon and Fuchuan.

On the morning of the 12th, a fleet of 12~ cargo ships carrying 550,000 tons of combat supplies left Dalian Port and set out on the waterway to Incheon.

The third battle was only one day before the ending was destined.

Even Pei Chengyi had to admit that the General Staff and the front-line have always overestimated the combat effectiveness of the South Korean army! (To be continued,)
Chapter completed!
