Volume 7 Peninsula Smoke Chapter 63 Big Appetite

To eliminate the US troops entrenched in the forest industry as soon as possible, the 54th Army and the 37th Army were in the general attack.

The firepower preparations began from 18 o'clock to 3:20 on the 25th, the 37th Army's armored troops captured the headquarters of the 1st Marine Division of the US Army. The position offensive battle lasted for 8 to 35. The 37th Army sent 11 battalions of two brigades, and the 54th Army dispatched 7 battalions of two brigades, with a total of more than 8,400 officers and soldiers from 18 battalions; plus artillery, land aviation, interspersed troops, etc. participating in the battle, the two armies invested a total of more than 16,000 combat personnel.

The forest industry was captured and there were not two ground troops participating in the war.

The 1611th Air Brigade and the 171st Air Brigade successively dispatched low-altitude strike troops to participate in the war. The Air Force dispatched strategic bombers at around 19 o'clock to throw hundreds of cruise missiles and long-range gliding bombs at the US positions in Linchanli. The long-range artillery units of the 61st Army provided firepower support to the offensive forces after 211 o'clock.

After occupying Lincaili, Pei Chengyi asked the 37th Army to stay and sweep the battlefield and ordered the 54th Army to advance towards liberation.

At this time, Pei Chengyi had not realized that the encirclement and annihilation battle in forestry had created several records.

This 24-hour annihilation battle was the most severe battle that the US military had lost since World War II. More than 12,000 US troops gathered in forestry were all annihilated, 2,136 people were killed, 7,658 were disabled, and missing people. The remaining 1c0 to more than 1c0 officers and soldiers were captured. Compared with the last head-on battle between the Chinese and American troops, the ending was very different. In the Korean War in the 1950s, the volunteer army dispatched an army to eat a US military camp; most of the time, the US military was able to rely on powerful air support and artillery support to break through the encirclement of the Volunteer Army. Even in the Second World War, the most violent battle of the outcrop was not annihilated by the opponents one division at a time.

Although the United States does not admit that it lost a division in the forestry industry, it is an indisputable fact that most of the 1st Land Warrior Division's troops were wiped out.

This is the most tragic battle that the Republic Army fought since the Liberation War. Within 24 to 1,784 officers and soldiers were killed, 3,259 disabled, missing, and 284 captured. Although the casualties were only half of that of the US military, compared with the previous battles since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it is definitely the most tragic battle based on the average number of casualties per hour. Compared with the most tragic battle in the Korean War, the battle of Changjin Lake was definitely even worse.

This is the largest armored battle to date in the 211th century. The last large-scale armored battle was the "Desert Saber" operation in the early 1990s. Hundreds of tanks of the coalition forces fought fiercely in the desert of Iraqi troops for more than an hour. Within 24 hours, the US military lost 427 tanks, 338 infantry fighting vehicles, 329 other armored fighting vehicles, the Republic Army lost 113 tanks (including those that cannot be repaired after heavy damage), 72 infantry fighting vehicles, and 03 other armored fighting vehicles. If we talk about the armored forces lost per unit time, it is probably only the Kursk tank battle in World War II can be compared with it.

There is another first one that many people overlooked: the first time that electric equipment is the main force to fight on a large scale.

Although only the Republic Army used electric equipment on a large scale, the US military still mainly used old-fashioned equipment. However, the Republican Army mainly used electric equipment, whether it was an enclave armed helicopter in the sky or a ground-run tank and armored vehicle. It was mainly used electric equipment. The Republic Army basically did not use old-fashioned equipment for burning oil.

In official history, the battles in Linchanli are rarely listed as independent battles, but are counted as part of the first battle.

The Linchanli Annihilation Battle in the first battle was called by the US military by the Chengchuanjiang Battle. It can be regarded as the turning point of the entire battle.

After annihilated the US military in the forest industry, the battlefield situation changed completely.

50. The 54th Army and local reinforcements arrived at the Jiefang Railway Station and quickly defeated the US Marine Corps, which was besieging Li Wen's armored assault troops.

Including Li Wen and Cheng Jicheng, there were only 11 officers and soldiers who walked out of the railway station alive. 27 officers and soldiers were carried out while lying out, and the remaining 93 officers and soldiers were all killed; 6 DZ-211 main battle tanks were destroyed (the other three were exhausted with shells). None of the 8db-22 infantry fighting vehicles were spared. When the reinforcements arrived, a total of 52 "Abrams" main battle tanks, "Bradley" infantry fighting vehicles, and 12 "Strick" wheeled armored vehicles were placed inside and outside the railway station. When the troops cleared the battlefield, they found the remains of 558 American officers and soldiers and 23 US wounded soldiers.

In Li Wendi's words, if the reinforcements arrive one minute later, he will already rush towards the US tank with the shells.

This shows how tragic the battle at Jiefang Railway Station was.

After the advance to liberation, Pei Chengyi made adjustments to the offensive action.

As Du Qiwei expected, Pei Chengyi did not let the armored troops continue to move south, but asked the 54th Army to immediately organize an armored assault force to leave the highway route and attack towards Jiefang East. However, Pei Chengyi's purpose was not to cut off the railway line and highway route from going to the war to Xianxing, but to capture Xinxing, the 2nd Marine Division stationed in the war, who was heading to the five elders.

In other words, Pei Chengyi has set his sights on the 2nd Land Warrior Division east of the battlefield.

Duqiwei did not expect this because in his opinion, the Republic Army, which had just captured the forest industry, should have rested for a few hours or even a few days before it could attack and fight.

The 54th Army and the 37th Army that participated in the war did need rest.

Pei Chengyi is very clear about this, the problem is, if this is

After rest, the US military will get a chance to breathe. More than 13,000 divisions gathered in the battle will assault south as quickly as possible, attack the five elders with all their strength, defeat the 153rd Brigade airborne, and break out of the encirclement.

According to the deployment of the General Staff, the main purpose of the first battle was to eliminate the active forces of the US military.

In order to achieve this goal, you must not let the US military officers and soldiers who went to the battle go away.

When ordering the 54th Army to organize armored assault forces, Pei Chengyi issued different combat missions to the other three armies.

The 37th Army originally planned to send troops to the paddy field and Daxing to the combat operations of the 611th Army. After leaving the guards of the 1611th Air Turkish Brigade and the 171st Air Turkish Brigade, they immediately withdrew to Wenyueli and prepared to participate in the subsequent combat operations. The 37th Army's 37th Army's 37th Army and two other armored brigade combat units advanced towards Liberation and served as the reserve for the 54th Army. The 38th Army must capture the Beiqing Qing Dynasty before 12 o'clock on the 25th, and then dispatch the 383rd Air Turkish Brigade to the high-speed assault, and must capture Xianguanling and its lingfeng to the west before the early morning of the 26th.

All mobilization and deployments are to mobilize troops as much as possible to encircle and annihilate the 2nd War Division to fight.

In everyone's eyes, Pei Chengyi's appetite was astonishingly large. Even the commanders of the four armies sighed secretly that the colonel of the General Staff was "not simple".

In fact, Pei Chengyi had not made the most important decision at that time.

Mobilizing several troops that have already participated in the war can only be regarded as a decision at the battle level.

At 5:30, Pei Chengyi and Xiang Yinghui called and asked the 7711th Quick Response Brigade to be transferred to carry out combat missions.

The 77th Army belongs to the strategic reserve team and there is no absolute need to be sent to the court immediately. Although Xiang Yinghui handed over the command of the front line to Pei Chengyi, Pei Chengyi had to ask Xiang Yinghui for instructions if he wanted to mobilize the strategic reserve team.

The Chief of Staff approved Pei Chengyi's request to let the 7711th Brigade of Quick Resistance appear on the field.

Pei Chengyi gave this fast-response force, composed entirely of wheeled armored vehicles, one of the tasks: to reach Daxing as quickly as possible along the already controlled highway route (at that time, the 611th Army had occupied Xichuan and Ningyuan, and opened up the ground passage to Daxing), and then assaulted towards Xianzhou, and must conquer Xianzhou before 18:00 on the 25th.

At that time, the 7711th Brigade of the Quick Rebellion was still in the Jiangjie.

After receiving the order at 6 o'clock, the brigade set out immediately. The journey from Jiangjie to Xianzhou was a total of kilometers. Even if there was no trouble along the way, he would take down Xianzhou without a single shot and a bullet, and marching thousands of meters within 12 to 10 hours. Not to mention that the armored troops could not do it, even the armored assault troops could not do it.

Although Xianzhou is just a small town with a population of less than 2,000, hundreds of US troops are stationed.

Apart from the attack time, the 7711th Brigade of the Quick Resistance must march kilometer within 8 hours, with an average marching speed close to 60 kilometers per hour!

In the end, the 7711th Brigade of the Kuaishou only took 7 and a half hours.

Within decades, the marching speed record of the 7711 Brigade of the Quick Resistance 7711 has not been broken!

It was not until this time that Pei Chengyi showed his trump card and made his intentions clear.

Xianzhou is located in the south of Hamxing and is a necessary passage for US troops to evacuate south.

All previous combat operations were aimed at annihilation of the US field troops on the Gaima Plateau. Only by capturing Xianzhou could the gates for the US military to escape were truly closed. Not only did the two land divisions not fly, but even the 1st air assault division with "wings" was doomed.

There is no doubt that Pei Chengyi’s goal is to kill three US military advisors and swallow more than 60,000 US military officers and soldiers in one bite!

Not to mention Duchewei's unexpected, even the general of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff could not have imagined.

At 8:30, the 54th Army and local armored assault troops arrived in Xinxing Northwest. Without any stop, the assault troops launched an attack after changing their formation.

What is surprising is that the US military did not resist!

To be precise, it was not until the assault troops entered the emerging world that the US military suddenly woke up.

After interrogating the prisoners of war, the armored assault troops immediately turned north and fought with the armored battalion of the 2nd Marine Division, which was about to arrive. At that time, the US military guarding the emerging US military received news and learned that a Marine armored unit was about to arrive. As a result, the US military regarded the armored units of the 54th Army as friendly forces!

Duchiwei's increase in troops to Xinxing shows that he has realized the danger, but not the greatest danger.

After 0 o'clock, when Du Qiwei received the information from the reconnaissance satellite, he realized that the opponent had dispatched a quick response force.

At this time, the 7711th Brigade of the Quick Rebels had already reached the underwater north of Ningyuan and was advancing towards Daxing as quickly as possible. Even if Du Qiwei adjusted his deployment immediately, he would not have time to organize defense in Xianzhou.

At 0:25, Duchewei left Hamshing on a VC-22 tilted rotor plane specially prepared for him.

Because the whereabouts of Major General York, the commander of the 1st Marine Division, was unknown (it was later confirmed that York was killed in the melee in Linchan, and became the US military with the highest rank after World War II), Brigadier General Gate, the chief of staff of the 2nd Marine Division, became the front-line commander with the highest rank.

Before leaving, Duqiwei told Gate privately that if necessary, he could surrender to the Chinese team.

At that time, it was not Ducheewe who was afraid of death and fleeing, but the commander of the 8th Army, Peebrook, ordered him to return to the US Army Command in Chuncheon to accept more important tasks.

At this point, the US military has basically given up its rescue operations against the two Marine Divisions and the 1c11th Air Assault Division. (To be continued,)
