Xue Yun arrived in Jeju with the artillery battalion.

During the flight, Shang Xueyun had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the battle situation through the reports of battalion commanders of each battalion.

Before the transport plane landed, Shang Xueyun arranged a "priority support order" for the artillery battalion. Because there were only 8 "scouts" guarding the mountain road south of Jeju, the artillery battalion gave priority to supporting the "scouts squad".

The airborne 152 had to deal with more than just the Korean infantry heading north from Mussup.

Relatively speaking, the battle in the Hanlin direction was the most intense.

After landing, the 1526th Battalion took 8 hours to wipe out the Hanlin army, and was attacked fiercely from the South Korean army from Xinchangri without having time to deploy its defensive positions. Although the 1526th Battalion relied on the "armored cluster" composed of airborne combat vehicles, the 1526th Battalion repelled the Korean attack within three hours, as the Korean reinforcements arrived one after another, the Hanlin battle became more and more intense, and the defense line of the 1526th Battalion became more and more dangerous.

In the first half of the night, the support fleet provided full support to the 1526th Battalion.

After all the cannon shells, the support fleet went to join the supply ship. During this period, in addition to leaving three helicopters for "dry cargo supply", the support fleet allowed another 12 anti-submarine helicopters to mount rockets and artillery pods to provide "air support" to the airborne troops over Hanlin.

After 22 o'clock, after confirming that the Korean submarine was wiped out, the three frigates in the support fleet rushed to the battlefield as fast as possible. Starting from 1 a.m. on the 8th, they used 76mm naval guns to bombard the Korean army attacking Hanlin at about 5 meters away from the coastline. Although the power of the 76mm naval gun is not very powerful, it is not much different from the 1mm howitzer eliminated by the army, and the firepower of the three frigates is not very strong, but the support fleet has made the best efforts to support the airborne combat.

The Hanlin battle was still going on, and the battle in the sky began.

The 15211th Battalion of the emergency dispatch was only 30 minutes ahead of the South Korean army. Guan Shangxun did not stop the troops. Instead, he took advantage of the opportunity of the South Korean army from marching to defensive state and organized more than 30 airborne tanks to launch a "sudden attack" on the South Korean army. He drove the South Korean army to the west of Xihuali in one breath.

This round of attacks has acquired at least 2 hours of defense preparation time for the 1521st Battalion.

It was not until 22:15 that the South Korean army advanced into Chaotian again.

The 15211th Battalion, which has been transferred to a defensive state, did not give the Korean army too many opportunities.

Just like the 1526th Battalion adopts ground tactics, the 15211th Battalion gathers airborne combat vehicles to form an "armor cluster". It uses the gap between the South Korean army's offensives to launch counterattacks from the flanks. It tries to extend the preparation time for the South Korean army's local offensives, so that the South Korean army cannot concentrate its forces to attack the infantry defense line.

If it were not for the South Korean long-range artillery deployed on the Hainan Peninsula at the southern end of the peninsula, the South Korean army was intensively bombarded the 15211th Battalion of Chaotianli with large-caliber long-range rocket launchers. Guan Shangxun was likely to annihilate the infantrymen of the South Korean army attacking Chaotianli by "mobile warfare" before dawn.

The Korean army's artillery bombardment caused considerable losses to the 15211th Battalion, at least 120 officers and soldiers were killed and 30 combat chariots were destroyed.

Although the Air Force bombed the Korean artillery positions at 23 o'clock and destroyed the Korean army's long-range rocket launchers, it could not make up for the losses of the 15211th Battalion, and Guan Shangxun could only give up the "mobile war" and fight a positional war with the Korean army.

At around 2 a.m. on the 8th, the situation underwent a major change.

The "reinforcement fleet" sent by the aircraft carrier battle group arrived at the artillery waters and began to provide artillery support to the airborne troops. Like the support fleet, because there was no threat from the sea, the anti-submarine helicopters in the reinforcement fleet were hung on the rocket launch nest and the artillery pod, making a guest appearance as "armed helicopter".

At 2:30, the Yandi and Huangdi, which completed the supply, dispatched carrier-based fighter jets.

Air support doubled, and the South Korean attack suddenly lost its meaning.

The two brigades of J-15ba fighter jets took off with maximum bomb load, and concentrated on bombing the South Korean army assembly sites in Xinchangri and Mussup, and used more than 200 tons of bombs and incendiary bombs to destroy the morale of the South Korean army.

At 2 o'clock, the third brigade bombed the gathering ground of the Korean army in Xihuali.

At 3:25, the artillery battalion sent by the 153rd Brigade arrived in Jeju and entered the battle after 15 o'clock.

Integrated, the ammunition support fleet returned to the battlefield.

The "Huaxia" aircraft carrier completed its supply operations and began to dispatch carrier-based fighter jets.

By this time, the Korean army had been completely defeated.

Although Shang Xueyun was not in a hurry to send out good news, everyone knew that before the Marines landed on Jeju Island, the 152nd Brigade, with the support of the fleet, was likely to complete the occupation mission alone.

After receiving the battle report from the front line, Xiang Yinghui quickly adjusted his combat plan.

Landing in the southwest area of ​​Jeju Island has lost its meaning, and the airborne troops need reinforcements, especially ground troops with heavy armored forces and heavy artillery, rather than marines rushing to the beach.

After dawn, in addition to continuing to transport combat supplies, the transport plane began to transport Marines' officers and soldiers to Jeju.

The first one to board Jeju Island was not the 1st Land Warfare Division and the 2nd Land Warfare Division, which had already boarded the ship, but the 3rd Land Warfare Division, which was on standby near Nantong as a reserve team.

In order to provide heavy armored forces to the airborne troops as soon as possible, Xiang Yinghui concentrated all the y-15s to use.

Only y-15 can

Main battle tanks with dozens of tons and 30 tons of infantry fighting vehicles.

At 7:25, the first y-15 carrying a main battle tank and 5~: combat materials landed at Jeju Airport. At 12:30, 60y-15 each flew 2 times, transporting all heavy preparations and combat personnel from an armored battalion and a mechanized infantry battalion to Jeju.

Because the Marine Corps command did not come, the Marine Corps that arrived first followed Shang Xueyun's command.

It seemed that he had enough confidence in the 1526th Battalion. Shang Xueyun did not let the armored troops attack south, but attacked eastward, attacking Xihuali and Chengshanpu, and occupying the eastern part of Jeju Island.

If it is on the land battlefield, an armored battalion and a mechanized battalion are nothing.

On Jeju Island, these 2 battalions are definitely the key force in determining victory or defeat!

As a second-line force, the Korean army not only lacks armored power, but also lacks anti-armor means.

When the armored battalion arrived in Tianli, the attacking Han army was stunned and stopped attacking, raised a white flag, and surrendered to the bombardment of the tank.

At 4:15, the armored battalion arrived in the flower.

After firing a few shots, the battalion commander of the Han infantry guarding the Xihua walked out with a white flag in person and surrendered to the tank squad leader who was rushing in the front.

The defeat was like a mountain of defeat, and the Korean army surrendered faster than the attack.

Shang Xueyun immediately asked the 15211th Battalion to follow the butts of the armored battalion and the machine battalion to accommodate prisoners of war for the armored troops.

At 15:20, Unit A arrived at Chengshanpu.

More than 3c tanks and more than 30 infantry fighting vehicles quickly surrounded the South Korean army, and then used tank guns and machine guns to "name" the fortifications of the South Korean army. The artillery lasted for about 30 minutes. The commander of the Shiroyama Pu defender and the Major General of the 53rd Infantry Division of the South Korean Army ordered all the officers and soldiers to surrender when the resistance was fruitless.

As if seeing hope of quickly ending the Battle of Jeju Island, Xiang Yinghui decided to "get stronger and worse".

At 16:30, 60y-15, the second armored battalion and the second meteorological battalion were sent to Jeju. In order to transport the armored troops, some y-14 flight plans were even cancelled, delaying the delivery speed of combat materials.

At 17:30, the second batch of armored troops arrived in Hanlin.

The result can be imagined. Facing the steel monster weighing dozens of tons, the panicked Korean infantry not only stopped attacking, but also raised white flags when the armored troops were conducting tactical detours, and surrendered to the airborne troops at the forefront of the defensive positions.

When it was dark, the armored troops conquered Xinchangli.

The Korean infantry, who were blocked by Zang Jiayu and others in the mountainous area of ​​the central island, retreated south under the cover of night. As a result, Zang Jiayu's squad stayed for 24 hours, rather than the night Guan Shangxun said.

At 20:35, the Marine Armored Forces first captured Oushanli, southeast of Jeju Island.

At this point, all the Korean troops guarding Jeju Island were concentrated in Mussop.

For the remaining more than 5,000 Korean troops, surrender was the only way to save their lives.

After 211 o'clock, the Marines and the Airborne troops surrounded Mussop.

At this time, the ground troops stopped attacking.

It’s not that Shang Xueyun doesn’t want to attack, but that she has no way to continue attacking, because the combat supplies transported from the air have been used up in the evening.

The remaining ammunition of more than 30 tanks arriving at Mussop was less than 1. The remaining ammunition was less than 30 infantry fighting vehicles. Even if the tanks and infantry fighting vehicles were strong in skin and flesh, they could not use their bulky bodies and hard tracks to deal with the Korean infantry.

The final strike mission fell on the Navy.

Because the landing of the Marine Corps is no longer considered, the aircraft carrier battle group and the support fleet (already organized with the reinforcement fleet) devote all their bombs and shells to the Korean military positions of Musspur.

The bombing and shelling continued until 22:00, and the Korean military, whose fighting spirit was completely defeated, surrendered with a tweeter.

In the early morning of the 9th, the officers and soldiers of the 1526th Battalion entered Mussop.

Letting the airborne troops complete the final occupation operation was not only Shang Xueyun's personal decision, but also Xiang Yinghui's arrangement. Although the Marines' armored forces played an extremely critical role in the later stage of the battle, even the Marines did not deny that the real hero was the airborne 152. No one denies that without a powerful naval fleet, even if the 15th Army was fully deployed, it would not be possible to occupy Jeju Island.

The "Jeju Island Battle" comes and goes quickly.

From the fleet's fire preparations to the surrender of the last established Korean army, there were only 7 hours in total.

This short and fierce battle not only proved the combat effectiveness of the Republic's navy and the airborne troops, but also exposed many problems.

For the armies of other countries who are paying attention to this battle, in addition to lamenting the strong combat effectiveness of the Republican team, we pay more attention to the performance of the South Korean army. In Du Qiwei's words, if the senior leaders of the South Korean army were more sober, if the South Korean army was more prepared, if the South Korean army performed better on the battlefield, they would definitely not lose Jeju Island within more than 70 hours, and would also turn Jeju Island into a solid fortress!

Anyway, the Republican team won a quick battle on Jeju Island, opening up the situation for the entire Peninsula war! (To be continued,)
