NIP #382 - Prepare for battle
#382 - Prepare for battle
They fought and talked, fighting and stopping for nearly half a year. However, before the trump card arrived, everyone restrained the scale, basically remaining below the regimental level for probing.
As well as guerrilla-style harassment behind enemy lines.
In fact, after the first four battles, everyone knew very well that they currently did not have the ability to completely wipe out the other side, unless they launched a national war!
After all, this place involved three major countries and two parties directly involved.
The interests of all parties in the middle were different, forcing a new war to make these people see the reality clearly. On the peninsula, who is the real decision-maker? Although the Volunteer Army has already made a name for itself, it is not enough.
Ren Zhong had a clear understanding of all this, knowing very well what the correct posture was to end this matter.
Therefore, after Li Yunlong completed the equipment and preliminary drills of the five combined arms brigades, and basically mastered the use and coordination of these weapons and equipment, Ren Zhong urged Li Yunlong to request battle.
You must know that after nearly five or six years of development after the war (1945-1951), the domestic production capacity of daily industrial products has gathered to a very considerable extent. Ren Zhong has not really intervened in the war on the peninsula.
In his opinion, in addition to stabilizing the situation on the peninsula, there is another goal that the main world timeline simply cannot achieve, and that is to open up opportunities for Western market transactions!
In contrast, the Rogue Eagle side changes generals after each defeat. Now it is Clark's turn.
However, after more than half a year of recuperation and large-scale replenishment, the Rogue Eagle not only came back to life with full health, but also increased to an unprecedented eight fully staffed divisions!
Including the 1st Marine Division, the 1st Cavalry Division, the Big Red One Division (1st Mechanized Infantry Division), the 2nd Infantry Division, the 3rd Infantry Division, the 7th Infantry Division, the 24th Infantry Division, the 25th Infantry Division, and a special combat group led by the 187th Airborne Regiment, with more than 200,000 troops.
At the same time, the Southern Army also gritted its teeth and rebuilt its main force, replenishing all the understaffed units of its three armies, the 1st Army, the 2nd Army, and the 3rd Army. Including the Southern Army's Capital Division, 1st Division, 2nd Division, 3rd Division, 5th Division, 6th Division, 7th Division, 8th Division, 9th Division, 11th Division, 12th Division, 15th Division, 20th Division, 21st Division, 22nd Division, 25th Division and other main divisions, and three special combat groups, the 53rd Regiment, the 56th Regiment, and the 1st Marine Regiment, with nearly 180,000 troops.
In addition, John Bull gritted his teeth and replenished the 25th Infantry Brigade, the 28th Infantry Brigade, and the 29th Infantry Brigade, as well as 3 artillery battalions and 3 tank battalions, with nearly 25,000 people.
Canada's 25th Infantry Brigade with more than 7,000 people, and Australia's newly formed special mixed brigade (including five infantry battalions with more than 7,000 people, as well as a large brigade with an artillery battalion and a tank battalion), plus seventy or eighty miscellaneous fish, gathered on the peninsula, all exceeding 420,000 troops in the huge coalition army.
In terms of air force, the Rogue Eagle also formed a combination of high and low this time. The newly modified air-to-air missile jet fighters exceeded 300, and there were also more than 500 propeller fighters as second-line troops, as well as more than 200 carrier-based bombers and air force bombers.
The total number of tank units also unprecedentedly exceeded 3,000, of which 1,500 were heavy tanks with a caliber of 90 mm or more.
Because they suffered losses in tank battles, the Rogue Eagle coalition also learned a lesson and modified the tanks. Among them, the strongest heavy tanks were equipped with John Bull's latest developed 105mm rifled gun, which is the prototype of John Bull's world-renowned 105mm L7 gun!
In this way, John's "Centurion" heavy tank and Rogue Eagle's "M26" and "M46" heavy tanks were all modified into new models.
The remaining tanks still used a large number of stockpiles produced during World War II, including the M4 Sherman medium tank and the M3 light tank.
In contrast.
After redeployment, the main defense force of the Volunteer Army was still 9 armies with more than 450,000 people, plus the Northern Army's 18 divisions and 5 brigade main forces with more than 250,000 people armed with Japanese and Big Bear weapons, which outnumbered the opponent in terms of strength, but the weapons and equipment were greatly discounted.
The Volunteer Army's tank units were still mainly T-34 modified models, with approximately 54 T-34 tank companies, 27 Longshi tank I tank companies, and more than 1,100 main battle tanks. In addition, the People's Army had approximately 60 T-34 tank companies with more than 800 tanks.
If it weren't for Li Yunlong's newly formed 16th Army, the Volunteer Army would have suffered a lot in terms of ground armored forces.
However, with Li Yunlong's newly formed 16th Army, now the division has been reorganized into 5 combined arms brigades, plus 1 artillery brigade, 1 support brigade, 1 air defense brigade, and 1 special operations brigade. Under the organization of 9 brigades, although the strength is not much different from the original 3 full-strength divisions plus affiliated artillery, the combat effectiveness has been turned upside down.
Among them, the special operations brigade is equipped with a flyable air tricycle special operations battalion, with 180 air tricycles, and the maximum long-range delivery force reaches 540 people!
In terms of main battle tanks, Li Yunlong's newly formed 16th Army has all been refitted into the Longshi Tank II, all equipped with a 105 mm smoothbore gun and the Bright Sword version of the T-59 D with the first generation auxiliary aiming system. After adding the newly developed FY-1 explosive reactive armor, the Longshi Tank II's turret has a frontal defense capability of approximately 200-250 mm against armor-piercing projectiles, and approximately 400 mm against HEAT projectiles!
After the 16th Army secretly re-entered the peninsula front line, the brigade commander personally sat in the front line, mobilized 5 armies of the Volunteer Army and 5 divisions of the People's Army, more than 300,000 combat clusters, plus the 5 air force divisions now transferred to the peninsula, mobilized more than 600 J-5 A jet fighters to ensure air security, and went all out to launch the fifth battle, vowing to defeat the positions of the more than 300,000 Rogue Eagle coalition forces in front of them!
The latest novels are first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
The core of this battle is to compete for the defense center points of the Rogue Eagle coalition forces, Suwon and Hoengseong.
According to the pre-war deployment, Li Yunlong's 16th Army main force will attack Suwon in cooperation with the 63rd Army, and at the same time, one combined arms brigade will be dispatched to cooperate with the 38th Army in attacking Hoengseong. On the flank of the 38th Army, 3 Northern Army full-strength divisions will advance along the gap opened by the 38th Army.
How great the final results of this battle will be depends on how sharp Li Yunlong's blade is.
However, after the brigade commander inspected Li Yunlong's 16th Army, he smiled without saying a word, and returned to the headquarters with confidence and boldness, and began to mobilize troops and make the final deployment.
Of course, in order to achieve the suddenness of the battle.
At the negotiating table, our side put forward new suggestions, so that when General Clark suspected our motives, the Northern Army guerrillas and two regiments of our army suddenly captured a new county town in the east!
Let the Rogue Eagle coalition forces think that this is the truth of the matter, and while scrambling to send troops to recapture it, they began endless quarrels at the negotiating table.
However, that night, the Volunteer Army launched a full-scale attack. After completing more than 1 hour of artillery preparation, Li Yunlong's 16th Army came out in full force! (End of this chapter)
