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

Chapter 70: A brief peace, the "cold gun and dark cannon" movement

He Daming smiled bitterly upon hearing this.

"Old Zhang, don't mention it. It was this kid who brought a group of soldiers from the guard company to cause trouble at the door."

Then he looked at He Yuzhu behind him.

"Okay, Captain He, there are no outsiders here, so you can tell me what you are doing making such a fuss at the door this time."

In response to his uncle's question, He Yuzhu directly told the truth.

"Commander, it's like this. The American bastards have been restless recently. They rely on their artillery firepower to have a longer range than ours and have been attacking us non-stop on the front line.

This time, they actually blew up our guard company’s camp, and three of our soldiers died. I can’t swallow this anger, and I must take revenge. I really don’t know what the leaders of our Zhisi think...”

Before He Yuzhu could finish his words, He Daming immediately rebuked him.

"Shut up, Zhisi is not someone you can discuss, you little brat, why don't you go back to your camp."

He Yuzhu realized at this time that he had said the wrong thing. After hearing what his second uncle said, he turned around and left without saying a word.

He Daming, on the other hand, was joking with Political Commissar Zhang Tang and Chief of Staff Zheng Shi.

"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, Captain He is just a little brat who speaks without restraint. Don't bother with him."

He Daming's words were actually a disguised way of protecting He Yuzhu, because what he just said was indeed very disrespectful.

Political Commissar Zhang Tang laughed at He Daming's words.

"Old He, look how nervous you are. We are not related at all. Your nephew is our nephew.

However, the question he just raised is indeed worth pondering.

The US military is currently very arrogant and keeps provoking our volunteer army on the front line. If we keep acting like turtles, it will really affect our morale."

Chief of Staff Zheng Shi expressed his opinion upon hearing Zhang Tang's words.

"Political Commissar, if we allow the soldiers below to fight back, although it can greatly boost morale, it will be considered as disobeying military orders, and we may be punished if things go wrong."

After listening to the two's suggestions, He Daming, the chief officer, expressed his opinion.

"Political Commissar, Chief of Staff, I think we should let the soldiers of the 120th Division fight back and strike a blow to the arrogance of the US Joint Forces.

As for the Zhisi, I will go and talk to the army commander and the others."

Political Commissar Zhang Tang was quite moved when he heard what He Daming said, and he immediately agreed.

"Okay, Lao He, it's up to you."

He Daming then immediately contacted the army commander Wen Cheng via walkie-talkie.

"Commander, the U.S. military's provocations are becoming more and more serious, and our volunteer soldiers are all holding their breath. We can't just let the U.S. military act recklessly. We must fight back.

So I personally thought of a combat method, which is to launch a small-scale counterattack with small-scale troops, such as individuals, squads, and platoons.

We can use mortars, sniper rifles or even mountain artillery to carry out targeted attacks.

This can not only avoid large-scale conflicts between our army and the US-led coalition forces, but also boost our army's morale. Thirdly, it can also retaliate against those US troops that actively provoke our army.

Commander, what do you think? "

After hearing He Daming's suggestion, the army commander Wen Cheng on the other end of the walkie-talkie immediately expressed his opinion.

"Okay, Commander He, I will report your problem to the Zhisi truthfully. Wait for my notification then."

He Daming: "Okay, no problem, Commander."

After Wen Cheng reported He Daming's ideas and strategic plans to Zhisi.

After analysis and research, these leaders of the Volunteer Army Headquarters finally adopted the combat suggestions proposed by He Daming and issued them to all units of the Volunteer Army.

Let them use small-scale units such as individuals, squads, and platoons to carry out targeted counterattacks.

After the combat order was issued by the Volunteer Army Headquarters, the entire Volunteer Army was in an uproar. These volunteer soldiers, carrying Garand semi-automatic rifles, Soviet Mosin-Nagant rifles, and various mortars and mountain artillery, began to search the mountains and plains for sneak attacks on the positions of the US Joint Forces.

During this period, many combat heroes were born, such as Zhang Taofang, who was known as the Sniper God.

This tactic was also called the "cold shot" tactic by the Volunteer Army.

Basically, within 500 meters, riflemen fight alone.

Small group targets within 1000 meters will be dealt with by a squad, using light and heavy machine guns to attack them.

If it is more than a thousand meters away, we will naturally have to use mortars to target it.

If it was farther away, we would have used the howitzer directly.

From July 1951 to August 1952.

In total, it took almost a year, and the Volunteer Army used the tactics of "firing cold guns and hidden cannons" to annihilate a total of more than 3 US coalition forces. This is not a small number and is comparable to the results of a large-scale battle.

As for the tanks, artillery, and trucks destroyed by the US Joint Forces, a total of more than a thousand of them were destroyed.

The time came to September 1952.

Because the Volunteer Army and the US Joint Forces are currently in a direct confrontation.

During the subsequent armistice negotiations, the US Joint Forces insisted on the unreasonable demand of detaining captured Chinese volunteers and even launched military operations in an attempt to put pressure on Chinese volunteers.

At this time, the US Joint Forces deployed 38 divisions south of the "18th Parallel", and it looked like a storm was about to come.

After a year, our volunteer army established a solid front along the entire defense line and even built a large number of tunnels, preparing for a long-term defensive posture.

In addition, after a year of rest and recuperation, the various units of the Volunteer Army had basically sufficient troops, high morale, and logistical supplies were in place.

Artillery, anti-aircraft artillery and various special operations forces are also in place.

At this time, the Volunteer Army deployed 38 armies north of the "10th Parallel", while the North Korean People's Army deployed three corps.

Soon it was September 9th. After research and analysis, the Volunteer Army Headquarters decided to take the initiative to launch an autumn counter-offensive, and let the volunteer army units in the "14th Line" area fight with battalions as the largest unit.

As for why a small-scale combat method was adopted, it was because the purpose of this counterattack was only to gain the initiative at the negotiating table for the Volunteer Army, not to fight for a city or a place.

To this end, the 38th, 39th, and 40th Armies of the Volunteer Army, after a series of detailed and sufficient preparations, launched an attack on eight positions defended by the US Joint Forces.
