Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
Chapter 75: Battle of Bainiu Mountain
When Jin Zhongwu heard Park Zhengxi's concerns, he laughed.
"Staff Officer Park, you are worrying too much. According to my observation, the Volunteer Army usually launches attacks as a whole unit, and rarely fights alone.
At present, the volunteer troops in other areas have not started fighting. I guess they are still in the process of preparation, so it may take them two or three days to launch this general offensive.
These two or three days are more than enough for our 9th Division, so there is no need to worry too much."
After hearing Kim Jong-oh's explanation, Park Jung-seo nodded in approval.
"Okay, Master, since you said so, I hope so."
Before they could finish their discussion, deafening artillery fire was heard from the direction of Bainiu Mountain.
This made Jin Zhongwu and Park Zhengxi, who were in a meeting, look pale instantly. He immediately shouted outside the tent:
"Signalman, what's going on? What's going on over at Bainiu Mountain?"
The messenger Park Chan-sung ran into the tent and explained the latest situation on the front line.
"Division Commander, Staff Officer, something bad has happened. The Volunteer Army is bombarding our positions on Bainiu Mountain. It looks like they are launching an attack."
When the division commander Jin Zhongwu heard the news, he looked at the chief of staff Park Zhengxi with disbelief.
"Damn it, Staff Officer Park, this volunteer army is really hard to deal with. They don't play by the rules at all.
Let’s hurry to the front line to supervise the battle.”
Facing Kim Jong-woo's order, Park Jung-xi could only nod helplessly.
"Okay, Commander."
At this time, the 119th Division of the Volunteer Army, located in the front position of Bainiu Mountain, concentrated several artillery battalions of the 120th and 118th Divisions, a total of 6 artillery battalions plus an army-affiliated artillery regiment, and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the front position of Bainiu Heights.
After 10 minutes of shelling, a large number of shells poured down on Bainiu Hill.
The fierce artillery fire destroyed a series of defensive fortifications here, including barbed wire, bunkers, mines, etc., destroying at least 7% of them.
Then, the commander of the 119th Division, Xu Shijie, immediately dispatched his three regiments to launch a fierce attack on the South Korean 9th Division on Bainiu Heights.
At the same time, the lightly equipped 120th Division was detouring from the mountains on the right to the rear of Bainiu Heights.
The 118th Division made a detour from the left. Their goal was to set up a defense line on the south side of Bainiu Mountain to delay the US Joint Forces that were coming to support from the south to the north.
With the outbreak of the battle of Bainiu Mountain on October 10th.
This sudden change surprised Van Fleet, commander of the U.S. 8th Army.
He keenly realized the intention and purpose of the Volunteer Army in this battle, and immediately ordered the front-line troops to quickly reinforce Bainiu Mountain.
In order to respond to the actions of the US Joint Forces, Zhisi took the lead in launching a general attack.
The two sides launched another unprecedented war.
At this time, the two regiments of the South Korean 9th Division located on Bainiu Heights took advantage of the terrain and launched a frantic counterattack against the Volunteer Army's 119th Division at the bottom of the slope.
Originally, the commander of the 119th Division, Xu Shijie, did not think that the South Korean 9th Division guarding the Bainiu Mountain Heights was very powerful.
After experiencing five battles, he felt that the strongest force on the battlefield between North and South Korea was their Volunteer Army, followed by the US and British Armed Forces, and then other coalition forces. As for the South Korean Army, its combat effectiveness was second to last, and this was the first time it was the North Korean People's Army.
However, after the two sides really exchanged fire, Xu Shijie realized that he had underestimated the soldiers of the South Korean 9th Division.
What makes them different from the cowardly South Korean army in the past is that they can actually fight on equal terms with their own 119th Division.
This opened his eyes.
In order to quickly capture Bainiu Hill, Xu Shijie immediately dispatched three battalions of the 356th Regiment under his command, cooperating with the three battalions of the 355th Regiment. A total of six battalions of troops headed towards Bainiu Hill.
However, even though they dispatched 6 battalions of troops, they were still suppressed by two regiments of the South Korean 9th Division on the front slope of Bainiu Heights and could not advance an inch.
This made Xu Shijie, the commander of the 119th Division who was watching the battle in the rear, very annoyed. As the battle was very stalemate, in order to break through the front line of defense of Bainiu Heights as soon as possible.
He once again sent up three battalions of the 357th Regiment as a reserve regiment, but although the number of people increased, there was not much effect.
As time went on, the casualties on the front line gradually increased.
This made the commander of the 119th Division, Xu Shijie, a little panicked. At this time, he could only pin his hopes on the 120th Division, which was currently detouring to the right side of Bainiu Heights.
Only now did he truly realize how important and prescient the tactical conjecture proposed by He Daming was.
Because really as he said, it was impossible for their one division to take over the Bainiu Hill.
..........................
At this time, He Daming led the 120th Division and successfully arrived behind Bainiu Heights.
He Daming immediately took out a telescope to observe the terrain.
He discovered that there seemed to be an artillery battalion two kilometers behind Bainiu Hill, which was launching artillery fire at the front area of Bainiu Hill.
He Daming acted decisively and immediately found Chu Yun, the commander of the 358th Regiment.
"Master, you're looking for me?"
He Daming nodded.
"Captain Chu, we now have a very difficult task for your 358th Regiment to complete.
Do you see the enemy artillery position on the hillside 2 kilometers ahead? I order your 358th Regiment to serve as the spearhead regiment and take out this artillery position for me as soon as possible.
Also, try to seize the howitzers on these positions, and turn the guns to hit the South Korean 9th Division behind Bainiu Mountain hard.
Do you have the confidence to complete this task for me?"
Chu Yun, the head of the 358th Regiment, immediately responded to the order from his own division commander He Daming.
"Don't worry, Commander. Our 358th Regiment is the one you brought up. We will never let you down. Leave it to us."
He Daming was quite satisfied with Chu Yun's words and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, Captain Chu, I'll leave it to you then."
After receiving the combat order, Chu Yun assembled all the troops of the 358th Regiment and rushed towards the artillery position of the South Korean th Division.
He Daming sent three battalions of the 359th Regiment to attack the rear slope of Bainiu Heights.
