Chapter 76
1st US Cavalry Division?
“Good Guy……”
Hearing this name, Ding Wei and Kong Jie’s eyes lit up.
“So, we killed the US military’s best troops with just one move? ?”
“Haha… Isn’t it that we have done a great deed!”
Ding Wei and Kong Jie had both heard of the title of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States. It was present in both the First and Second World Wars, and its reputation was well-known.
“I didn’t expect that it would happen to us today.……”
Thinking of the Volunteer Army fighting against the US Army’s ace troops and defeating their opponents, the soldiers of the 39th and 40th Armies were more excited than each other, and they all seemed to be injected with chicken blood.
Morale soared
“Lao Ding, report this news to the boss: 1,800 people of the 5th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States were completely wiped out, and a military flag was seized”
“3 planes were shot down, 4 were captured, 28 tanks, 176 vehicles, 119 artillery pieces of various types and a large amount of military supplies were destroyed or captured.”
“Of course!” Ding Wei sighed:”It would be great if Lao Li was here.……”
“If Li Yunlong knew that we had killed the trump card of the US military, he would be so angry that he would die… This kid has been very competitive since I met him.……”
“Ha ha!”
……
The headquarters of the Eighth Army of the United States. The commander of the 1st
Cavalry Division of the United States, Major General Hobart Gay, had served as Chief of Staff to General Patton, a four-star general, during World War II and was known for his mastery of armored warfare tactics.
After the outbreak of the Chaosun War, the first ground force of the US Army to enter the Korean War was the 1st Cavalry Division.
As the trump card in the hands of General Walker, Hobart eventually fell in Yunshan.
When Walker received the letter from Hobart, he was stunned for a full five minutes.
For a moment, he could not accept that the 5th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States was completely wiped out.
Dinglingling…
The phone in the office rang, and Walker came back to his senses:”Hello, this is Walker… General MacArthur’s 10th Army, hello!”
“Walker, have the people’s army in Yunshan been eliminated?”MacArthur asked casually.
It seemed that this was a piece of cake for him.
“General, the 5th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States was completely wiped out by the enemy in Yunshan……”
“What? Poof……”MacArthur , who was drinking coffee, spat out:”Walker, are you kidding me?”
That was the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States, which had fought in many battles and had never been defeated in 160 years.
“General, I am not kidding you… This is true. The commander of the 5th Regiment, Major General Hobart Gay, has been killed. All 1,840 men in the regiment have died.……”
“Fuck!” MacArthur angrily threw the coffee cup to the ground:”Who did it… When did the People’s Army become so strong???”
“General, it’s not the People’s Army…it’s the Mao Bear’s Army……”
“What? The Russian bear joined the war?”
“That’s right, according to the last letter written by Major General Hobart Gay, the Russians not only participated in the war, but also brought the most advanced Soviet weapons to the peninsula.”
“Their anti-tank guns can destroy our M26 Pershing tanks and Sherman tanks at will. You must know that ordinary rocket launchers can’t do anything to Pershing tanks, and the Russians use the latest anti-tank guns to attack our tanks, which is easier than opening the cover!”
“In addition, their artillery was completely overwhelming… The heavy artillery battalion and tank battalion of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States had no chance to counterattack, especially their Katyusha rocket launchers (actually 107 rocket launchers)… In just one round of rapid fire, more than half of our troops were killed or wounded.……”
Hiss!
Hearing this, MacArthur couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air. He knew the level of equipment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States.
Could it be that the Russians really joined the war?
If not the Russians, then who else?
“General Walker, why don’t you send fighters for air support? This is our biggest advantage.” MacArthur said.
Indeed, the U.S. military has occupied a large number of airfields on the peninsula, which can support any combat force on the peninsula within a few minutes.
Walker’s mood became even more unstable when he heard this:”General… I sent 18 fighters to Yunshan for support, but, but not a single one came back!”
That is the air force that the U.S. military is proud of.
“Fuck… I don’t know what weapons the Russians used, but they actually shot down all the planes.”
“In this world, apart from the bears, no other country can do this? Mark Genie’s intelligence said it was a rabbit? It’s impossible.”
Walker:”This damn intelligence misled us.……”
How could a poor rabbit have such powerful weapons? ?
MacArthur:”Now, what we need to figure out is: how many troops did the Russian bear dispatch, and how many advanced weapons do they have?”
This is interesting, the Russian bear’s troops have arrived.
MacArthur raised a smug smile.
It is also a good choice to be able to compete with the Russian bear.
Walker said angrily:”Please rest assured, General, I will definitely avenge Major General Hobart Gay.……”
“Go ahead and show the bear our true strength.”
At this time, MacArthur didn’t know that the bear soldiers they were talking about were actually… rabbits.
……
The Volunteer Army Headquarters in Dayudong.
General Peng was studying the terrain and tactics when Secretary Liu walked in quickly:”Boss, good news… Our 39th and 40th Armies have captured an enemy flag with 1,840 men from the 5th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division.……”
Secretary Liu is no ordinary person, he is the son of the big boss.
Upon hearing this, Boss Peng became excited:”What? You mean, the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States? The ace unit of the US Army, the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States?”
“Yes, boss!”
“Hahaha……”General Peng laughed out loud:”I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it… The first time we fought against the US military, it turned out to be the trump card of the US military!!”
Commander Deng:”Ace vs. trump, this battle is interesting!”
The 39th Army of the Volunteer Army was an ace unit that was good at fighting, hard battles, and tough battles as early as the War of Liberation.
The predecessor of the 40th Army was the Third Column of the Fourth Field Army. During the War of Liberation, it fought from Baishan and Heishui to the ends of the earth and made great achievements.
It must be said that the Third Column of the Northeast Field Army is one of the main columns of the Northeast Field Army. On the battlefield in the Northeast, the Third Column of the East Field Army is known for its expertise in mobile warfare. It has participated in a series of battles such as the Liaoyang and Benxi area operations, the Siping Defense War, and the Sibao Linjiang Campaign, and has made great achievements.
Because the 3rd Column of the East Field Army has a very strong ability to rush, it is called the”Whirlwind Column.”
In the crucial Liaoshen Campaign, the 3rd Column of the East Field Army launched a fierce offensive, attacking Jinzhou, Keyi County, and fighting in western Liaoning, making a huge contribution to the victory of the entire campaign.
At that time, General Han Xianchu served as the commander of the column.
In the winter of 1948, with the advancement of the regularization of the People’s Liberation Army, the Northeast Field Army was reorganized into the Fourth Field Army. (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Among them, the 3rd Column of the Northeast Field Army was reorganized into the 40th Army. After the main force of the Fourth Field Army went south, the 40th Army was unstoppable and participated in many battles such as the Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign, the Hengbao Campaign, the Hunan-Jiangxi Campaign, and the Guangxi Campaign.
This battle can be described as an ace against an ace.
General Peng:”Give the 39th Army and the 40th Army a great merit… The ace troops of the US Army are just like this!”
“Hahaha!”
Commander Deng:”The boss said that the U.S. military is just a paper tiger and there is nothing to be afraid of. Now it seems… it is true!”[]
“In the first battle after entering North Korea, we completely wiped out Nan Chaoxian’s Second Division and severely damaged the US Cavalry First Division, breaking the 160-year undefeated legend.”
“This battle was so satisfying…Haha, let the US military know how powerful our volunteer army is”
“What undefeated myth? What ace troops?”Pang said domineeringly:”My volunteer soldiers specialize in hard bones, and I fight the elite.”
Commander Deng:”Boss, you are right… The most lacking thing in the volunteer army is courage and fighting spirit… When two meet on a narrow road, the brave will win.”
“Yes, when two meet in a narrow road, the brave prevails.”
This time, the Volunteer Army and the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States met by accident, and the encounter became a battle of annihilation.
Commander Deng:”Boss, this time we were able to completely annihilate the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States. The commander of the 39th Army, Ding Wei, has made a great contribution… Although this guy disobeyed orders, he accurately grasped the opportunity, went around the enemy’s back door, and dealt a heavy blow to the US military… Not only did he block the enemy’s retreat, but he also shot down the US military’s support planes.”
“It is no exaggeration to say that if Ding Wei had not been on the scene to command, we might not have been able to completely wipe out the 1,840 men of the 5th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States.”
Pang Zong nodded and said,”This guy is good at commanding battles, but he still can’t get the sweet taste of disobeying orders. This time Ding Wei’s merits and demerits are offset.”
Peng Zong said,”Immediately order the 39th Army and the 40th Army to rest and continue to advance to prepare for the capture of Yunshan City.……”
“Yes, sir!”
Commander Deng:”Yes, I immediately informed Ding Wei and Kong Jie. By the way, sir, I think there is another key reason why our army won this victory?”
“Oh? What is it?”
“Our army is equipped with advanced weapons and equipment, not only the Type 49 automatic rifle, but also the sniper rifle (Barrett), and the 107 rocket launcher, which have performed very well in this battle.”
“Our automatic rifles completely crush the US military’s M1 Garand rifles. The firepower is not even on the same level.”
“Our 107 rocket launchers were in a one-sided fight against the US heavy artillery battalion. We fired 12 shells at a time, while the US artillery could only fire 6 shells per minute… The soldiers finally experienced what a one-sided massacre was!!”
Commander Deng said this with great pride, and General Peng was excited to hear it.
“In addition, our army has anti-tank missiles for the enemy’s M26 Pershing tanks and Sherman tanks. For infantry battlefields, we have sniper rifles (Barrett). For U.S. aircraft, we have individual air defense missiles. If we encounter a situation, we can also use individual fuel-air bombs to carry out large-scale destruction of the enemy!!”
Commander Deng:”It can be said that in the face of the U.S. military armed to the teeth, we have corresponding weapons to deal with it, and it is a comprehensive suppression.……”
“This is the first time I feel the pleasure brought by excellent weapons!”
“Ha ha……”President Peng smiled happily:”We all have to thank Comrade Jiang Chen. Without him… we might not be able to defeat the US 1st Cavalry Division.”
Even if we could win, it would be a miserable victory.
“Yes!” Commander Deng Hua said:”If it weren’t for the special warm coats, compressed biscuits, instant noodles, military shoes, and 207 thermal insulation cups provided by Jiang Chen, our volunteer army would not have been able to hide in the snow for most of the night!!”
If it weren’t for the compressed biscuits, the soldiers would probably still be eating potatoes now
“It was precisely because of Comrade Jiang Chen’s care for the Volunteer Army in all aspects and his protection of our army that we were able to achieve a complete victory in the anti-eagle war.”
General Bang:”In general, Jiang Chen has made an indelible contribution!!!”
At this time, a buzzing sound came from the sky
“Air raid, air raid… Commander, hurry, hurry into the air-raid shelter… hurry……”
President Peng, Deng Hua and others quickly ran to the air raid shelter nearby.
However, Secretary Liu discovered an important document and rushed into the wooden house despite the risk of being bombed by enemy planes.
President Peng:”Come back, Secretary Liu, come back… Come back!”
“Boss, Boss……”
Everyone held the boss back to stop him from rushing out.
Deng Hua:”Guards, hurry up…cover Secretary Liu and shoot down the enemy’s plane for me!””
“Yes!”
The guards on the side quickly took out their individual anti-aircraft weapons and aimed at the US aircraft.
Thermal lock!!
“emission……”
Swoosh…
The missile flew towards the US B25 bomber at a speed of Mach 2.5.
This Mach speed can completely catch up with the B25 bomber.
Whoosh… Swoosh… Boom…
Boom…
The three B25 bombers were all hit, destroyed, and fell…
At this time, Secretary Liu ran out of the wooden house holding the documents, and was shocked to find that the crisis was resolved.
President Peng walked up angrily and shouted:”You are going to die… Do you know how dangerous it was just now?”
“Just in Case……”
If Secretary Liu gets into trouble, how will President Peng explain to the big boss?
Deng Hua:”Okay, Boss, Secretary Liu has just joined the battlefield and has no experience… Don’t do this next time!”
Secretary Liu wants to know the seriousness of the matter:”Got it!”
Deng Hua:”Boss, the individual air defense missile made by Jiang Chen saved our lives. If it weren’t for it, we would have been in great danger!”
President Peng:”Yes, this Jiang Chen is simply a military genius.……”
“No wonder the big boss said that he alone might be able to change the entire situation on the peninsula!”
“Now it seems that this sentence is very valuable!”
After witnessing it with their own eyes, General Peng and others realized the importance of the new weapon.
For the soldiers of the Volunteer Army, it is simply a great help.
General Peng:”Immediately send a telegram to the central government. I want to ask the weapon designer Jiang Chen for the first-class merit.……”
