Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
Chapter 72 The Enemy's Combat Intentions
Facing the words and doubts of Army Commander Wen Cheng, He Daming started to explain again.
"Commander, everyone, it's actually very simple.
First, information on the battlefield changes rapidly. Although military reports from the front line indicate that there is only one South Korean regiment stationed in Bainiu Mountain, there is no guarantee that the US-China Joint Forces will send reinforcements there in the future. These are all things we cannot predict.
What we need to do is to reduce some unstable factors as much as possible and ensure the conditions for our army to win. So I think although it is only a regiment at present, we assume that it may be increased to a division in the future. So if we face a division, the troops of a division will have no chance of winning, but it is different with two divisions.
So my personal suggestion is to let our 120th Division take the lead in the attack, and then let the 119th Division or the 118th Division split out three regiments, and then concentrate the forces of six regiments to capture Bainiu Mountain. "
Zheng Yue and Xu Shijie, who were standing by, became unhappy when they heard what He Daming said.
"Captain He, why do you always lead the battle? We all know that your 120th Division has strong offensive capabilities, but you should also let our brother troops take the spotlight and gain face. You can't take all the credit."
In response to the two teachers' answers, He Daming immediately said,
"Commander, since Commander Zheng and Commander Xu said so, let them take the lead this time, and our 120th Division will play the supporting role.
After all, the purpose of our 40th Army is to win the Battle of Bainiu Mountain. As for the size of the credit, I don’t really care.”
When Wen Cheng heard what He Daming said, he looked at him with a look of relief.
"Commander He, it is very good that you have such an awareness.
In this case, let's follow your battle plan. I have decided to let the 119th Division be the main force in the attack on Bainiu Mountain, your 120th Division will be the auxiliary, and the 119th Division will be the reserve. This allocation method should be fine, right? "
The commander of the 118th Division, Zheng Yue, wanted to say something, but after seeing the unquestionable look of the army commander Wen Cheng, he stopped expressing his opinion.
As the 40th Army of the Volunteer Army finalized the combat plan, the entire army moved quickly towards the Bainiu Mountain area, entered the combat area in advance, and prepared for battle.
Although Bainiu Mountain is called a mountain, it is actually a mountain range composed of a group of highlands.
To its east is the vast Iron Plain, and to its south is the important transportation artery Gangwon Province, which is also an important logistical supply line for the US Joint Forces. Across Gangwon Province is Seoul. As long as we take this place, we can face Seoul directly.
As the commander of the 120th Division, He Daming personally led a team to inspect the terrain in the Bainiu Mountain area.
He found that the current primary combat goal was to capture the most important one among the many high grounds in Bainiu Mountain, Hill 394.8, also called Bainiu Highland by He Daming.
Compared with other highlands, this high ground is relatively high and has a very broad view, with a panoramic view of the surrounding highlands.
If we can capture Bainiu Heights in the first place, it will give the Volunteer Army a unique strategic advantage in launching subsequent offensives.
However, the high ground is currently guarded by two battalions of the 9rd Regiment under the 3th Division of South Korea.
According to feedback from scouts at the front, the South Korean 9th Division also built a large number of defensive fortifications in the Baekniu Mountain area, including tunnels, concrete bunkers, various barbed wires, obstacles, mines, etc., like a "steel position".
The 42th Army, which had previously replaced the 40nd Army, is now fully ready.
Not far from Bainiu Mountain, in the area of Xifang Mountain, is the 15th Army of the Volunteer Army. Their mission here is to launch a feint attack and attract enemy firepower.
At this time, the South Korean 9th Division located in the Bainiu Mountain area had only sent a regiment of troops to be stationed here. They had no idea that the Volunteer Army had already set its strategic target on the Bainiu Mountain area where they were stationed.
On the 2nd, Kim Jong-wu, commander of the South Korean 9th Division, and Chief of Staff Park Jung-xi were holding a meeting to discuss matters south of Baekniu Mountain.
Speaking of Jin Zhongwu, he is also an outstanding commander. He once studied abroad in Xiaozizuo. With his outstanding combat achievements, he rose from a second lieutenant to the position of division commander. His resume is as impressive as that of He Daming. He is also a rare military genius in the South Korean army.
"Staff Officer Park, according to the latest battle report from the front, the 3nd Army of the Volunteer Army, which was originally located 10 kilometers ahead of the Bainiu Mountain position where our 42rd Regiment is stationed, seems to have changed its guard.
As for the newly arrived troops, they are the 40th Volunteer Army. What do you think of this abnormal phenomenon?"
When Chief of Staff Park Jung-seok heard what Division Commander Kim Jong-wu said, he instantly fell into deep thought. After thinking about it carefully, he came up with a guess and opinion.
"Captain Jin, you said that since the start of the autumn counterattack, the Volunteer Army has been making a lot of noise but not much action.
Our Joint Forces Headquarters is not sure what these people are trying to do. We cannot guess their combat intentions at the moment. You just mentioned that the 42nd Army was replaced by the 40th Army, which reminded me of this.
I remember that the 40th Army seemed to be the ever-victorious army of the Volunteer Army and had never lost a battle. However, the 9th Army of the United States was still defeated by this unit.
In particular, there seemed to be a commander named He Daming in that army who was particularly good at fighting.
You said, they suddenly transferred this army here, could it be that they want to attack Bainiu Mountain?"
When Jin Zhongwu heard Chief of Staff Park Zhengxi's speculation, his heart skipped a beat.
To be honest, he was a little overwhelmed by the Volunteer Army's intentions.
Because according to Chief of Staff Park Zhengxi's speculation, it is not impossible for the Volunteer Army to really attack their own Bainiu Mountain.
Because he knew better than anyone how important the strategic significance of Bainiu Mountain was.
This is why the United States Army handed such an important position to their own hands.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. He immediately ordered the Chief of Staff Park Jung-seo to
"Staff Officer Park, you should immediately dispatch two reconnaissance companies to the Volunteer Army positions to investigate the situation and confirm the enemy's specific movements.
In addition, contact the First Air Wing in the rear and ask the US military to send reconnaissance planes to assist in reconnaissance.
Finally, you ordered the 9nd Infantry Regiment under our th Division to be quickly transferred to the Bainiu Mountain area to strengthen the defense."
