Chapter 200 I do my own way
.Down with the feeling that the reconnaissance power of Zhanmu is very limited.
It is very difficult to figure out the combat deployment of the coalition forces.
It was not until ten days before Huang Zhibo received reliable news that the Fourth Infantry Division of the US Army had evacuated Xichuan and the main force was concentratedly deployed near Shunchuan.
Although no other information has been received, Huang Zhibo immediately concluded that the coalition forces had turned into a comprehensive defense.
Based on this judgment, Qi Kaiwei began to formulate a combat plan.
Two days later, the Second Department sent a crucial piece of information: the main armored forces of the coalition forces gathered near Nanpu, Shaliyuan and Kaicheng, which was quite large in scale, and were mainly US troops.
That night, Huang Zhibo held a pre-war meeting.
"From the information currently in control, the coalition forces have increased their defense depth." When Qi Kaiwei said this, the staff assisted cast the coalition's deployment map to the big screen." The third infantry division and the fourth infantry division were still standing in front, but the fourth infantry division had voluntarily retreated, and the main forces were all concentrated near Shunchuan. Behind the front, the coalition forces also assembled heavy troops at three locations including Nanpu. We suspect that it was the Second Infantry Division and the Seventh Infantry Division of the US Army. In addition, the South Korean army also mobilized combat troops equivalent to 60 infantry divisions, half of which were deployed near Pyongyang. According to our judgment, the coalition focused its defense on the flank defense line.
After Qi Kaiwei finished speaking, he glanced at Huang Zhibo before walking off the podium.
"The situation of the enemy is already very clear. Now let's talk about our affairs. Huang Zhibo knocked on the table and picked up a cigarette casually." Before that, I had been thinking about how to fight. Now that I have obtained more accurate information, I can formulate a combat plan in a tit-for-tat way."
Qi Kaiwei returned to his seat.
I lit a cigarette as well.
Generally speaking, he should speak at this time, but Huang Zhibo did not ask him to do it for him this time.
"Compared with the last battle, our troops increased by nearly twice, so we had more choices, but the problem also came." Huang Zhibo smiled and said, "I don't say anything else, I believe everyone knows who will play the main force. Several armies fight and refuse to give in. It seems that I am the best in the world and no one is my opponent. It is a good thing to have fighting spirit, but is this the actual situation really?
After scanning the dozens of generals who participated in the combat meeting, Huang Zhibo glanced at the officer and said, "We won the first battle, but it was just a miserable victory. It is not a big victory. It doesn't matter how much the enemy is. The key is how much we paid. The comrades of the 39th Army and the 65th Army are here, and they have the most experience. In the battle to encircle and annihilate the Second Land Warrior Division, if it were not for the Korean army's counterattack, it would be not the US army, but us. In the end, we would not even have the strength to eat the First Land Warrior Division. Think about it, are we still the best in the world?"
These words made several generals of the 39th Army and the 65th Army unable to raise their heads.
Among these troops, the commanders of these two armies were the most active, and they were fighting to fight for the main force all day long, and even ignored Huang Zhibo's feelings and directly reported to Lu Fenglie.
"To put it bluntly, without tactical and technological innovation, we cannot win this war." Huang Zhibo knocked on the table again, causing the generals to look up. "But now, the coalition forces will use the same method, and even use electromagnetic weapons more vigorously. The battlefield environment will become worse and our advantages will be gone. Everyone, do you think we can still win?"
"Commander-in-Chief, we......
Huang Zhibo pressed his hand and said, "We can definitely win, because we have proved it with actions, and more because we have the belief of winning. In addition, we also have things that the coalition forces do not have. We are the party of justice, so we do not lack the courage to sacrifice.,.
Speaking of this, Huang Zhibo deliberately stopped.
Perhaps Huang Zhibo's tone has changed, and the expressions of the participants have also looked much better.
"These topics may be too heavy. I just hope that you will keep a clear mind and not underestimate the enemy just because you win a battle. Huang Zhibo then lit a cigarette and said. "I have my own arrangements on who will play the main force. I just hope that you can do your job."
Hearing this, Qi Kaiwei laughed secretly.
Compared with before the first battle, Huang Zhibo's prestige has increased. At least in the eyes of several army commanders, Huang Zhibo is no longer the chief of staff of the military region who likes to engage in new military theories, but a commander who has practical skills and can lead the volunteer army to victory.
"In terms of the battle arrangement, my idea is that we will fight us, no matter how the US military defends it."
Now, the generals who had just mentioned the gods were shocked.
Regardless of the other party, how to fight this battle?
"If we use traditional tactics, we have only two choices." Huang Zhibo raised two fingers. One is to concentrate troops to strive for a frontal breakthrough, then eat up the Third Infantry Division and the Fourth Infantry Division in turn, and then try to go south to recover Pyongyang with superior forces. The second is to have a feint attack on the front and a general attack on the flanks. First, divide and surround the Third Infantry Division and the Fourth Infantry Division, withstand the counterattack of the coalition forces, and then seek victory."
Qi Anwei frowned. These were the two tactical choices he mentioned.
"It is obvious that both tactics have problems. Huang Zhibo paused for a moment and said, "The former words.
The biggest question is whether we can go south after capturing the mocking point. With our army's strength, after a head-on battle with the coalition forces, even if we eat two US military advisors, we still have to deal with 300,000 Korean troops. It is obvious that the problem of occupying Pyongyang is not big, but it takes a lot of time. We do not have enough materials to ensure that we continue to launch an attack after this. In other words, the coalition forces are likely to use this to defend the second line of defense. If the coalition forces are well prepared.
We will also take advantage of our inability to attack to launch a counterattack, forcing us to withdraw from Pyongyang before completing the offensive and defensive transformation. If so, we will not only fail to win this battle, but also likely to lose all of it. In addition, there must be many variables in the battle between the surround and annihilate the Third Infantry Division and the Fourth Infantry Division, and any unexpected changes may lead to the wasted of all previous efforts. The in-depth defense deployment of the coalition forces increases the difficulty of our attack and also has the basis for defensive counterattack. As long as our offense is not smooth, the coalition forces can launch a counterattack at any time, forcing us to switch to defense without success. You are experienced commanders and fighters, and they are very clear about the consequences of this situation, so I won't explain it."
I lit the second cigarette and took a few sips.
Huang Zhibo also said: "As for the second tactic, the problem is still prominent, mainly because the front line is too scattered, and the logistics supply line is very long. The front-line combat troops may not be able to obtain the combat materials needed to maintain the attack in time. I do not doubt the courage and fighting spirit of grassroots officers and soldiers, but courage and fighting spirit cannot be turned into shells, nor can they be used as food. If the supply cannot keep up, it is good to be able to stabilize the front line. In addition, an overly long front line will lead to our army being too scattered.
, it is difficult to form an assault fist, and it is difficult to make a major breakthrough. The defensive deployment of the coalition forces is also aimed at this set of tactics. If the coalition forces launch a timely counterattack, the consequences will be difficult to imagine. In terms of terrain, everyone knows that the rugged mountains are not suitable for mechanized troops to fight. Even if they can form a deep breakthrough in the attack, it will be difficult to annihilate the divided enemies in time. If we fight into a protracted war, we may not see the dawn of victory before we use up all our supplies."
After Huang Zhibo explained the situation.
The generals attending the meeting also realized something.
"Of course, this does not mean we have no chance." Huang Zhibo smiled and said, "My idea is to use the bottom of the pot to deal with the coalition forces."
The firewood was removed from the bottom of the cauldron!? Qi Kaiwei was stunned for a moment, looking very surprised.
The same goes for others, and they didn't understand what Huang Zhibo meant.
"It is obvious that the coalition forces focused on counterattacks." Huang Zhibo lit the third cigarette, and when talking about key issues, he often kept smoking. "Whether we can achieve a decisive victory in the second battle, that is, whether we can drive the coalition back, the key is not how we fight on the front line, but whether we can eliminate the coalition's reserves, that is, the counterattack forces that remain behind. As long as the coalition's counterattack forces are destroyed, we have great hope to fight near the 38th parallel in one fell swoop. Let the coalition forces sign an armistice agreement with us in Panmunjom."
Hearing this, Qi Kaiwei immediately understood.
Obviously, Huang Zhibo has a very high vision.
And start with the fundamental problem and don’t care about appearances at all.
"So, how can we achieve this goal?" Huang Zhibo stood up and walked to the podium, picked up the command stick, and knocked on the projection screen. "There is a huge gap south of the Fourth Infantry Division, about fifty kilometers. Cutting from here is enough to force the coalition forces to use counterattack power. If the fight is good, it can even force the coalition forces to dispatch two counterattack forces. The terrain of the central mountainous area makes it difficult for the armored forces to exert its power, and the coalition forces will also encounter the same problem, so we can use this factor to entangle the coalition's counterattack forces.
On the front battlefield, use an army group to drag the Third Infantry Division and the Fourth Infantry Division to strengthen some armored forces if needed. After the Fourth Infantry Division makes a breakthrough in the south, the offensive force quickly penetrates south to find the main force of the coalition, that is, the counterattack troops left in the rear to fight to the decisive battle, and then head south to the south with the main goal of capturing Kaicheng. If you have the ability, you have to continue to advance, forcing the coalition forces to draw strategic reserves. At this time, you will turn back to deal with the main force of the US military in the north."
Qi Kaiwei frowned. It was not because Huang Zhibo said it well, but because there were many problems in this tactic.
"Of course, the risk is very high when fighting like this. The biggest question is whether the combat troops can maintain strong combat effectiveness. There are two key points: one is logistics support, and the other is quick battle and decision. My point is that the logistics troops follow the combat troops and carry combat supplies for three to five days. If a breakthrough can be achieved within three to five days, then the victory will not be far from us." Huang Zhibo returned to his seat.
He said, "The specific tactical arrangements will be clearly mentioned in the combat plan. The main purpose of holding this meeting is to let everyone fully understand my combat vision and know what to do if they encounter unexpected situations in battle, rather than asking me temporarily for instructions."
Speaking of this, Huang Zhibo's meaning is already very clear.
The volunteer army wants to make a fortune not an ordinary victory, but a decisive victory.
