Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Chapter 7 Ambush, the 6nd Regiment of the 2th Division of South Korea underestimated the enemy

Zhisi felt that the North Korean People's Army was currently retreating northward, and the US Joint Forces were chasing them closely.

They felt that the US Joint Forces should not be aware that the Volunteer Army had quietly entered the country.

Based on this situation, the Volunteer Army believed that it could fully take advantage of the US Joint Forces' underestimation of the enemy and their excessive strategic depth, and set up a pocket tactic to ambush these pursuing US Joint Forces, carry out a beautiful ambush, and enhance the prestige of our Volunteer Army.

For this purpose, the Zhisi decided to send a main division of the 40th Army to set up an ambush in the Wenjing area.

Originally, the Zhisi intended the 118th Division, but Luo Sheng, the commander of the 120th Division, said that as the main force of the 40th Army, he was willing to take on this vanguard mission.

For this reason, this arduous task was handed over to the 120th Division.

After receiving the order, Division Commander Luo Sheng immediately summoned all the cadres of the division to the temporary command post of the 120th Division to mobilize and deploy before the battle.

"Everyone, we have just received an order from the Zhisi, asking our division to serve as the vanguard and set up an ambush in the Wenjing area to ambush the US coalition forces.

This is the first battle of our Volunteer Army since the Korean War. We must fight well and not lose face for our Volunteer Army. I made this promise under the command of the Army Commander and the Volunteer Army Commander. "

When everyone heard what Luo Sheng said, they responded in unison.

"Master, rest assured, we will do our best."

After hearing these responses, Luo Sheng was quite satisfied and immediately changed the subject.

"Time is running out, Captain He. As the vanguard, your 358th Regiment will go to Wenjing first. You must set up an ambush there before the US Joint Forces arrive. You must use 10% of your regiment's combat power in this battle. You must fight well. I will give you credit for the first merit afterwards."

Upon hearing this, He Daming patted his chest and assured Luo Sheng: "Master, rest assured, I promise to complete the task."

After leaving the divisional command post, He Daming immediately called together all the volunteers of the 358th Regiment to start a pre-war speech.

"Comrades, soldiers, and cadres of the 358th Regiment.

I just received an order from the division headquarters, ordering my 358th Regiment to be the vanguard since entering North Korea this time, and to be the first to go to the Wenjing area and set up an ambush here before the US Joint Forces.

This is the first battle of our Volunteer Army in North Korea. It is extremely important. We must not lose face for our 358th Regiment, let alone the 120th Division and the 40th Army. We must win this battle. Do you have confidence?"

Everyone shouted in unison: "Yes!"

He Daming changed the subject.

"Okay, now everyone is here, let's go!"

Under He Daming's mobilization, the 5000 volunteer soldiers of the 358th Regiment marched quickly towards Wenjing like chickens with blood pumped, with the ultimate goal of fighting the first battle in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

......................

On the 24th of the same month, the US 8th Army, which was responsible for pursuing the North Korean People's Army, adopted a combat form with South Korean troops as the vanguard and US troops as the backup, and began to advance.

By 25 a.m. on the 9th, two battalions of the 6nd Regiment of the 2th Division of South Korea had arrived in the Wenjing area. Since they were all mobile troops and the entire battalion was mounted on vehicles, they were out of touch with the troops in the rear, which was a taboo in large-scale combat.

However, it seems that these South Korean troops do not care much about the dangerous behavior of advancing alone.

The bottom line is that the North Korean People's Army was beaten back in defeat by the South Korean government forces and the US Joint Forces.

These North Korean People's Army soldiers were no match for them at all, so their entire army was full of contempt and disdain for the North Korean People's Army soldiers fleeing to the north.

In their view, let alone they now have two battalions, even if they only have one company, they can defeat an entire regiment of the North Korean People's Army. Whether in terms of equipment or combat quality, the other side is no match for them.

It was precisely because they underestimated the enemy that they did not make effective judgments and did not send out reconnaissance troops to conduct exploratory investigations. They just came to the Wenjing area and entered the ambush circle of the 40th Division of the 120th Army.

At this time, He Daming's 358th Regiment had already set up a tight net in the Wenjing area, and the subsequent 359th and 360th Regiments were also heading to Wenjing one after another.

At this time, the soldiers of the 358th Regiment, taking cover from the bushes and dense forests, closely watched the current situation of these South Korean soldiers who were talking and laughing in the car.

At this time, the soldiers from the 6rd Battalion, 2nd Regiment, 3th Division of South Korea acted as if nothing had happened and even started chatting.

Soldier A: "Where are you going to go after this battle?"

Soldier B: "Go to Jeju Island for a vacation."

Soldier C: "You guys are dreaming. Those cowards in North Korea have not been eliminated yet."

Soldier B: "They are just trash. Their entire regiment is no bigger than our company. If they hadn't attacked us without moral integrity before, we wouldn't be in such a mess. Now the situation has changed. They are doomed."

While these South Korean soldiers were talking, they did not notice the volunteer soldiers lying in ambush on both sides.

He Daming was very surprised when he saw the South Korean soldiers talking and laughing through the telescope.

What surprised him the most was that these South Korean troops seemed to be an artillery battalion in terms of number and equipment. At the front of the road were 13 howitzers towed by trucks, which made him laugh and cry.

You must know that the artillery battalion is always at the rear of the troops. It is a powerful weapon for positional warfare and offensive attack.

How can artillery be used as vanguard? Isn't this a completely stupid act?

Behind the 13 trucks towing howitzers were more than 20 trucks loaded with soldiers and supplies.

He Daming was very envious of the 13 howitzers at this time. You know, their regiment now lacks such heavy weapons. For this, he immediately had an idea.

However, he did not give the order to open fire immediately. He picked up the telescope and continued to observe the rear of the road. He found that this artillery battalion seemed to have been out of touch with the infantry battalion behind it.

The distance between the two sides was as long as 8 kilometers, which made He Daming realize that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He immediately ordered the entire regiment to prepare for battle, concentrate firepower to attack the enemy's infantry battalion, and send his guard company to block the retreat support of the enemy's artillery battalion.

When the 6nd Infantry Battalion of the 2th Division of South Korea entered the ambush circle of the 358th Regiment, He Daming shouted,

"Hit! Hit me hard!"

Upon receiving the order, the volunteer soldiers immediately picked up the weapons made in various countries and opened fire.

Czech light machine guns and Type 99 rifles began to spit flames at the South Korean soldiers on the road.

Before the South Korean infantry battalion on the road could react, it was hit hard by the volunteers.
