Chapter 314: The real and practical strategy

War never appears in one form. There is never a way of fighting that can always be invincible in war.

Changeable strategies and tactics, resolute and courageous military leaders, and able to formulate appropriate combat plans based on various emergencies on the battlefield at any time, are the qualities required by military commanders in modern warfare.

The generals of the Volunteer Army judged the situation when they were in command of the battle and arranged appropriate combat methods for their troops to deal with a fatal blow to the enemy in Ma Liangshan. This is the basis for the victory on the battlefield.

The American soldiers fought a "summer offensive" and a "autumn offensive". They always felt that the Volunteer Army was defending like a rock in every battle, and even if they captured the Volunteer Army's position, they would have to pay a huge price.

Therefore, this inertial thinking influenced their way of fighting in battle. They were surprised that the Volunteer Army had no defense at all in Maliangshan positions, and they wasted the artillery shells and time in Dashi, but instead they were surprised by the Volunteer Army's counterattack.

For the American soldiers who can only fight with the wind, this is definitely enough to make them mentally collapse. They were beaten by the nose by the volunteers, and surrounded by the volunteers, they became turtles in the jar.

At midnight, the American soldiers were all stunned. The battlefield was in chaos. They felt that volunteer soldiers were everywhere, and volunteer soldiers were attacking them everywhere, leaving them unable to defend.

But in fact, the Volunteer Army really created a situation where they launched attacks from all directions. The more than 50 soldiers who were ambushing the Maliang Mountain position on both sides of the mountainside were not decorations. While the volunteers' artillery fire attacked, they had already detoured. Even the two on the mountainside had killed a lot of American sentries and patrol soldiers with the cover of artillery fire.

When the volunteers launched a full-scale attack, they defended an important position on the Maliangshan position and launched an attack on the enemy in the dark. They were in the dark and the enemy was in the light. Since they were just awakened from their sleep and faced with sneak attacks, the enemy was completely in a dilemma of commandlessness and unorganizedness.

When these American soldiers found that they seemed to be surrounded, they became even more frightened. A large number of American soldiers lost their lives in this panic atmosphere.

However, if you can almost not fight this battle, you can win or lose. The situation of the battle is one-sided, and the American soldiers have no advantage at all.

In the night battle, the American soldiers must not be as good as the volunteers.

Without solid concrete position defense, they are like a group of savages without clothing, with no ability to organize combat.

Without the help of planes and cannons, the American soldiers seemed to have even been taken away by planes and cannons. How could they be able to stop the charge of the volunteers?

In addition, the sneak attacks behind the Xiaolong Special Forces, and Wang Yang and others attacked the enemy's commanders on the Wuming Stone Mountain, which made the enemy unable to form effective combat power at all. This attack battle to return to the Maliang Mountain position was really surprisingly smooth.

"Captain. This victory came too easily. Seeing that the soldiers on the position were charging towards the enemy, I couldn't help but rush forward!"

Ye Cheng shouted excitedly beside Wang Yang, watching the enemy fleeing around under the attack of our army from the top of the unknown stone. This was so satisfying for him.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? There will be such opportunities in the future. Don't look at the American devils, but they are just paper tigers, and they will be defeated by us one day!"

Wang Yang didn't speak and was carefully observing the enemy from the scope. Once he saw that an enemy occupied a favorable shooting position on the Maliangshan position had an obstacle to the attack of the volunteer army below, he would pick up the gun in his hand and shoot the enemy. Although it was difficult to find the enemy's target in the dark, and the hit rate was not as high as normal, as long as he hit a target, the morale of the enemy would greatly decrease, because when the American soldiers saw their comrades hiding in an excellent position would lose their lives for no reason, which made them feel as if there were attacks from volunteers in the sky and the ground. They had the illusion that they had nowhere to escape, and their mental collapse would be faster.

But Fu Rongyi is relatively relaxed now. The battle is about to end. He doesn't need to report the enemy situation on Ma Liangshan's position to the combat command again. He smiled and said to Ye Cheng:

"The past year was the enemy who was fighting, but now we are used to the enemy's fighting style, and it should be time for us to take action. After seeing the Battle of Maliangshan, I feel that the future big battles will definitely be indispensable!"

"Really? I heard the captain and Political Commissar Du say last time that it seems that the Five Sacred Mountains are located at the most prominent position in our Western Front Defense. There are occasional battles and small battles. Since the Cold Gun Battle was in Puji, the battle has been very lively. If only we could go!"

The poor and warlike Ye Cheng could only guard the peak of Wuming Stone Mountain and watch the 573rd Regiment and the other four squadrons of the Xiaolong Special Forces show their power. He was so itchy that he couldn't help but think about fighting a big battle. Of course, if he could fight directly with the enemy like the other four squadrons now, he would like it even more.

However, this kid was very clever. Not to mention that before the launch of the Maliangshan Battle, he had heard Gao Xiaodong and Du Xinghua say that the 15th Army in Wusheng Mountain needed the support of special forces. He seemed to be interested in sending Wang Yang's first squadron over. When this kid thought that the volunteer army was going to counterattack now, he was happy and told him about this matter.

"You guy, the battle here is not over yet, and you want to go to Wusheng Mountain to fight. If this battle is not done well, you can't go there. If you are fine, go out and watch over Li Xiaobu and be careful that the enemy will attack us!"

Although Gao Xiaodong and Du Xinghua had never told Wang Yang, to be honest, Wang Yang has known about the Wusheng Mountain for a long time. He also knew that the General Staff of Zhishi had always known that the sniper combat capability of the First Squadron led by Wang Yang was very strong, and the sniper combat in the 15th Army was in full swing. They had the idea of ​​asking Wang Yang to lead the 1st Squadron to guide the soldiers of the 15th Army and have a head-on confrontation with the enemy snipers.

To be honest, Wang Yang certainly didn't want to miss such a good thing, but he was still in the Maliangshan Battle at this time. Ye Cheng now talked about the Five Sacred Mountains, but Wang Yang didn't like it very much. He said something to Ye Cheng angrily. He made Ye Cheng stick out his tongue and ran out in an instant.

"Fu Rongyi, report to the combat command. The battle has ended. We are still here to closely observe the enemy's reaction!"

Shortly after Ye Cheng left, Wang Yang and Xu Weiguo and others took back the guns in their hands, with a satisfied smile on their faces. He conveyed this order to Fu Rongyi. From the entire battle scene, no soldiers of Renkai's First Squadron saw more clearly, and they were the first to report the victory of the battle to the combat command.

In this battle, the battle ended successfully. The American soldiers had just taken down the Maliangshan position in the afternoon, but they were immediately lost at night, and lost a battalion and an artillery company. This kind of strike may make the commander of the US military suddenly lose his taste.

It took only fifteen minutes, when most of the soldiers of the 573rd Regiment rushed to the Maliangshan position, the American soldiers ended their mission on the battlefield without any decent resistance. Needless to say, the American soldiers who were beaten to the point of blood surrendered and surrendered, and went to hell and were beaten to no avail.

The result of the battle made the officers and soldiers of the 191st Division's combat command inexplicably. Only twenty-one soldiers in the attack suffered casualties, but also annihilated a battalion and an artillery company in the United States, and seized countless guns and ammunition again.

This was simply a classic attack war, and of course he recorded it in the later history of Korean War wars in countries around the world.

The wit and courage of the Volunteer Army and the precision of the attacks of our artillery units left a deep impression on this battle. The captured British soldiers sighed when they recalled the battle on the battlefield:

"Of course, the Volunteer Army's artillery shells flew in groups, and we hid in the trench and didn't dare to lift them. But when the Volunteer Army's artillery fire stopped, we looked up and the Volunteer Army soldiers were holding bayonets and pressing on our chests, just like the Volunteer Army soldiers were sitting on the shells they had blown up and flew to the battlefield. The attack came too fast, and our soldiers could not organize decent resistance at all."

At that time, the 573rd Regiment and the artillery brothers cooperated perfectly. Every attack was carried out immediately after the artillery troops bombed the position. When the artillery bombed the main position of Maliangshan, the Volunteer Army's attacking troops had already reached the defensive circle of the Maliangshan position. As soon as the artillery brother's artillery fire extended, the soldiers of the 573rd Regiment rushed up, which gave the enemy a sense of the soldiers of the Volunteer Army flying towards the Maliangshan position in a cannonball.

Another captain of the US infantry regiment, Lieutenant Lodrick, was also in lingering fears. Whenever he recalled the Maliangshan position, he would say that the artillery bombing of the Volunteer Army was like a thermal energy tracking missile. He said pale:

"At that time, I and my soldiers were awakened in my dream. As soon as I climbed out of the barracks, I saw the trees on the mountain being broken, and the single bunker and the bunker were destroyed. The entire position seemed to be overturned. There was not a squad with two heavy machine gun teams in front of me, but before they could fire a shot, they were blown into pieces by the volunteers' shells!"

It can be said that the battle of Ma Liangshan made the world re-understand China. They always thought that the Chinese army had no power to fear except for high infantry combat effectiveness. However, when we realized the importance of artillery fire on the Korean battlefield, when our artillery troops also developed, the combat effectiveness they produced would still make their troops extremely ashamed.

At this time, the Volunteer Army's cannon equipment was quite poor. If the Volunteer Army's cannons were more powerful, how could the "United Nations Army" defend in the future? The fact that the balance of the battle was becoming more and more tilted towards the Volunteer Army was recognized by more people day by day, so they became more awe of the Volunteer Army.

However, it is still the time for the Battle of Maliangshan. Although the battle ended before two o'clock in the night, the enemy's troops were once again made dumplings.

However, the soldiers of the 573rd Regiment and the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade still retreated from the Maliang Mountain position. The Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade once again played a mine tactic, but this time, the mine was replaced by another place to bury it, and those who were closer to the enemy would set up an attack line at the hem of Maliang Mountain, and then they retreated back to the bunker on the side of the Maliang Mountain position.

Although they may have used this move once, the American soldiers should be wary of it, but unfortunately, the two attacks of Maliangshan and the Volunteer Army included dumplings from the enemy. None of the enemies escaped, so how could they know that the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade were hiding here?

Of course, after this night of raid, the enemy's rear was already shocked. They wanted to support, but they never expected the battle to end so quickly. When they just mobilized their men, Ma Liangshan's position was lost.

Counterattack? This is the first idea of ​​the American soldiers.

However, don't forget that this is the evening. If the American soldiers want to compete with the volunteers, they will still be a few minutes worse. So in the end, the American soldiers did not launch an attack on the Maliangshan position at night. Even though the soldiers of the 573rd Regiment and the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade retreated from the position, they did not send soldiers here to reconnaissance.

However, in the early morning of the next day, the furious US military launched a crazy retaliatory bombing on the Ma Liangshan position, and the US planes visited the sky above the Ma Liangshan position again.

The American soldiers seemed to want to vent all the extremely depressed fire in their hearts. The planes and cannons even added fire. They also launched constant bombings, hitting the Ma Liangshan position again to shake the earth. The poor Ma Liangshan shaking in the earthquake, as if they would be overturned by the US artillery fire at any time.

But, so what?

This time, even the US military realized that they had done this kind of thing yesterday, but they still did not pose any threat to the volunteers. Their role is relatively limited. Not to mention the wasted ammunition, they may not even see a shadow of the volunteers.

So, after about an hour and a half bombing, the enemy finally stopped their madness.

The bombing was no longer possible, but the worries still did not decrease. The next thing made the US military even more troublesome. They didn't know how to deal with the strange tactics next. The Ma Liangshan position was like a quagmire and trapped the US military tightly.

Wang Yang and the others still did not retreat, but they still stood on the hills of the nameless highland. They were waiting for the US military's next reaction, but the US military had not responded for a long time, and even realized it earlier than Wang Yang and the others had imagined. It seemed that they also knew that the Ma Liangshan position was theirs at that time, but now it has become a trap dug out by the volunteers.

It is conceivable that after these US troops were made into dumplings by the volunteers twice, they certainly knew what tactics the volunteers were using to deal with them.

The Volunteer Army’s plan seemed to be to wait for them to occupy this position, and then the Volunteer Army launched an attack on this position again at night. Anyway, you can’t fight at night, and you can’t establish a defense for a while. Who else can I hit if I don’t hit you?

But what made the American soldiers extremely depressed was that they knew that the volunteer army used this tactic, but in the face of such tactics, these American soldiers really didn’t know what to do to deal with it?

Because, they suddenly discovered that although the Volunteer Army's tactic was simple, they really didn't know how to crack it.

It was obvious that the Volunteer Army found the weakness of the "United Nations Army".

First, the US military cannot compete with the volunteers during night battles;

Second, even if the American soldiers reoccupied the Maliangshan position the next day, they could not repair the defensive position again within one day. Once there was no defensive position, it would be impossible for them to defend the volunteer army rushing towards them with their superior forces;

Third, the Maliangshan position is not a position suitable for large forces to fight. It is basically enough to place a reinforcement battalion here. If they want to place a regiment here to defend a regiment from the Volunteer Army's attack, it is obvious that the force of a regiment stays on the Maliangshan position, which is equivalent to delivering vegetables to the volunteer army's artillery fire.

Faced with such an extremely passive combat situation, the American soldiers didn't know what to do, but they couldn't think of any way to deal with the Volunteer Army's attack. So the next day, the American soldiers did not send soldiers to reoccupy the position.

Taking advantage of this time, what surprised the American soldiers again was that the volunteers sent the troops of a battalion of the 573rd Regiment to the Maliangshan position after seeing that the Americans had no intention of attacking that morning.

The first thing to do when excavating fortifications quickly was to dig out air defense tunnels and dig trenches at several important defensive locations.

In contrast, the U.S. soldiers who were from peasants dug up trenches and air defense tunnels, but the U.S. military was many times faster. Unlike the U.S. military, the volunteer soldiers had clear goals and had long been familiar with the fact that if they used natural terrain to establish defensive positions on the battlefield to deal with the U.S. troops, Wang Yang and others saw dust flying on the Maliang Mountain position on the nameless highlands, and a visible trench was almost completed overnight.

According to the Chinese army with hard-working and excellent qualities, their growth was almost achieved through adversity. The excellent traditions have created an iron army with strict discipline and good at creating miracles in difficulties.

One was night, just one night, when the US military came tentatively towards the Maliangshan formation the next day, this time it was no longer what they imagined. What greeted them was a continuous bombardment. For the American soldiers, this was like a wake-up call. The real attacks of the volunteers made them really unable to figure out what tactics the volunteers used.

After suffering the attack, the US military, who were unwilling to fail, took it for granted and used their planes and cannons again.

However, this time the Volunteer Army was not as defensive positions as the US military at the time. I had long thought that the US military would use this move again. The Volunteer Army soldiers put a lot of effort into building a defensive formation on the Maliangshan position.

In addition to digging some air defense tunnels around the trenches in the main position of Maliang Mountain, the volunteer soldiers also dug many Tibetan soldiers tunnels on the side of the mountain. These Tibetan soldiers tunnels were inspired by the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade hiding in the enemy bunker on the side of the mountain. Only when they were really used did the volunteer soldiers find that the power of this Tibetan soldiers tunnel is really great.

Why is it called a Tibetan tunnel, not an air defense tunnel?

It is just because the tunnel is dug very much and penetrates deep into the ground, so many soldiers can be hidden. Although the air defense tunnel is also dug in some solid mountains, the space is not large after all, and at most three or five people can be hidden inside, so there is a difference between tunnels and tunnels.

The Tibetan soldiers tunnel was inspired by the soldiers of the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade stealing at the dead corner of the shell bombing, so when the Tibetan soldiers tunnel was excavated, they also dug him at some angles that could not be bombed by bombs, and even dug the tunnel under some steep giant rocks. The enemy's planes and cannons exploded. Most of the soldiers of the 573rd Regiment hid in the Tibetan soldiers tunnel behind the mountain, leaving only a few defensive soldiers in the air defense tunnel at the main position of Maliang Mountain.

When the enemy's air cannon bombed and the US infantry tried to attack, they were faced with sharp counterattacks from our volunteer army. Even though the enemy had extremely powerful troops, how could they confront the soldiers who defended the volunteer army when the bombing of the air cannon failed?

When the soldiers of the 573rd Regiment were engaged in position defense war with the United States, there were not many people. Generally speaking, they would take up the forces of two companies at a time. Once the enemy was in a stalemate stage with our army, a company would rush up to attack the enemy rushed towards the enemy. Even if necessary, the Xiaolong Special Forces Brigade would also conduct a coordinated defense. The enemy would not be able to take any advantage. Instead, the Volunteer Army suffered a lot of great losses under the favorable terrain, which could be called a heavy casualty and injured.

After five or six consecutive strong attacks, the US military did not take any advantage, but in the end they were beaten to death by the soldiers of the 573rd Regiment. Even their grassroots commanders were sniped by Wang Yang on Wuming Stone Mountain.

Faced with such a result, the battle soon passed one day. Seeing that night was coming again, the American soldiers did not get any benefits. Instead, nearly a thousand bodies were thrown under the Ma Liangshan position defended by the Volunteers, and a US infantry regiment was crippled.

So, when the last attack was around 4 pm, the US military had to snatch the scene in a hurry, and they finally lost the courage to guard the Maliangshan position. Who knows whether the volunteer troops will launch a night attack on them at night? The US military had to retreat again after paying a huge price.
