【368】A desperate attack

Jin Yucheng, the commander of the People's Army who predicted the US Incheon landing plan in advance, couldn't sleep these days... He repeated the US military landing plan several times, but he couldn't see how he could wipe the US military at the beach 100%.

Even if the shipwreck recommended by Chinese comrades blocked the flying fishing channel outside Incheon Port - Kim Yo-cheng has ordered to do this immediately. As long as the US military faithfully implements the landing operation plan and rushes to land nearby, a fierce battle is still inevitable.

When he thought of what the Chinese comrade said that the US military would use the battleship to launch firepower on the other side of the shore and then landed calmly, Jin Yuecheng was so worried that he scratched his head, so anxious that he almost pulled off his hair.

According to the information provided by China, the first USS Missouri battleship with a displacement of 45,000 tons and a load of nearly 58,000 tons, the first USS Missouri ship has been transferred to Japan by the US Atlantic Fleet. The other three Iowa-class ships are also under unblocking, among which the USS New Jersey is the first to enter the dock, with the fastest unblocking speed, and will appear in Incheon at the same time as the USS Missouri!

That is three triple-mounted 16-inch 406mm caliber 50-distance naval guns. Each barrel is more than 20 meters long and can penetrate people! The killing radius of the 406mm caliber shell is 50 meters! On each Iowa-class battleship, there are 1,500 backup rounds of this 16-inch 406mm main gun. If it is completely spread out, it is the killing area of ​​1,500 football fields! With the range of this main gun of 38 kilometers... Jin Yuecheng couldn't think of how to repair this fortification.

In desperation, Kim Yucheng decided to follow the Chinese suggestion to implement layers of blocking on the Jing-In Highway from Incheon to Seoul, which is the only place after the US military landed, turning this road into a bone burial site for the US military! Kim Yucheng believed that victory would eventually belong to the People's Army! Undoubtedly, this would be a victory piled up with life. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Kim Yucheng issued a conscription order again. In addition to the ten divisions of militia armed with rifles supported by China, he urgently recruited 200,000 new soldiers again, and first selected officers to arm the new militia organization of ten divisions!

At the same time, Jin Yuecheng began to mobilize troops on a large scale, mobilize the main force and mix with new militias, and began to build fortifications every minute on the Jingren Highway. Jin Yuecheng vowed to turn this Jingren Highway, which is less than 50 kilometers short, into a cemetery for the US military!

But Jin Yuecheng still had a thought, what if he could take down Busan before the astronomical tide on August 15th? This idea was so tempting that Jin Yuecheng could not discard it.

Historically, even after learning that the US military had landed in Incheon, Kim Yo-sung was still the same and stubbornly decided to continue to attack Busan crazily until a week later, when he realized that he had completely no hope of taking Busan, he collapsed and retreated to the north. The Korean People's Army's obsession with unification can be seen.

For this dream of national unity that cannot be given up, Jin Yuecheng decided to take a gamble. He felt that if he didn't gamble now, he might never have such an opportunity in the future.

As Jin Yuecheng rushed to the Mashan in southern Zhongzhou to personally supervise the battle, the war around Busan circular defense circle - the army meat grinder that both sides had spent 45 days here in history became increasingly tragic.

Mashan.

Mashan, with a population of only 150,000.

Mashan, a small town in Shanggang, 45 kilometers west of Busan.

The Japanese once said that if Busan is compared to Tokyo, Mashan is Odawara!

After three days and three nights of almost sleepless inner suffering, Jin Yuecheng gritted his teeth and decided to take down Mashan at all costs and open the passage into Busan!

Therefore, the "Battle of Odawara" of the Korean War kicked off.

Li Fucheng, a company commander of the Third Militia Division of the People's Army, was a poor peasant. After dividing the land, he devoted himself to the unified war with great enthusiasm. In Li Fuchen's view, the road to joining the army was both glorious and promising; it was also the most favorable guarantee for the land that poor peasants like him had for the first time in their families. Commander-in-Chief Jin Yuecheng told them that if they lost this battle, everything they had before would be taken back by the landlords.

Li Fucheng absolutely does not allow anyone to take away even an inch of the land he obtained during the land reform!

"Run!!!

Kill all the American devils!

Kill all the Li pseudo bandits!

Long live the People's Army!!!”

Li Fucheng and his militia soldiers shouted wildly, and led his company to rush up to the US trenches with submachine guns. Behind him, the mortars, which were accompanied by firepower, stopped sparsely after three or five times. Due to the US military's close-up support bombing of more than 7,000 times a month, the People's Army's current losses of various types of artillery have exceeded 60%.

Colonel Yoman, the commander of the 355th Regiment of the 25th Infantry Division of the US Army, ordered nervously: "Fire! Open fire! Call for artillery support and call for air force cover! These crazy Yankees are starting to attack again!"

When Li Fucheng's company rushed to more than 30 meters outside the US trench, he was hit by the US M1 Garland semi-automatic rifle and suffered more than half of it. More than 140 militia soldiers in the entire company were killed and injured! The remaining half were crushed by fire and crawled in the depression on the mud and did not dare to move.

The US military's 105mm howitzer continued to strike the open space in front of this position in the rear, and the US military mortars continued to join in the fun and exploded beside Li Fucheng. The soil and broken limbs continued to fall on Li Fucheng, covering him up...

Jin Cunyou, the commander of the Third Militia Division of the People's Army, gritted his teeth behind him and ordered: "Seventh Company, Eighth Company, Ninth Company, and Three Companies Charge together! You must take down the Baishui Cave Highland at all costs!

Cao Shanghe, the commander of the First Regiment of the Militia Division, was crying and advised: "Teacher Commander, you can't rush anymore. In just one morning, more than 1,500 people have died in the Second Regiment and the First Regiment!"

Jin Cunyou growled in despair: "No! You must take it down! Don't you understand yet! Commander-in-Chief Jin has already issued a death order. Even if the Third Militia Division is all dead in Baishui Cave, it will be taken down here! No one is allowed to take a step back! Otherwise, the Dharma will be rectified on the spot!"

Cao Shanghe wiped tears with his rough hand covered in soil and ordered the correspondent around him: "Order, the seventh, eighth, and nineth companies charge immediately."

"Yes!" The correspondent ran quickly to pass the order.

After returning from the order, the correspondent asked: "Captain Cao, the patrol team captured the deserters of the 6th Company of the First Regiment."

Before the regiment commander Cao Shanghe spoke, Jin Cunyou immediately ordered: "On the place to rectify the Dharma!"

Cao Shanghe stretched his neck and shouted, "Teacher!"

Jin Cunyou shouted with a dark face: "We cannot take a step back now! We cannot be weak! According to the command's deployment, if we cannot take down Baishui Cave before midnight tonight, all officers will be escorted to the rear command to be detained and tried!"

After Cao Shanghe was reminded, his head suddenly lowered.

When the seventh, eighth and nineth companies rushed up, Li Fucheng jumped out of the mud pit desperately, "Ah! Ah!" and rushed towards the US military position! Suddenly, a bullet hit him in the head, and Li Fucheng fell down again. This time, he could not get up again.........

At this time, Lieutenant General Walker, the commander of the 8th Army of the US, also rushed to the division headquarters of the 25th Infantry Division in Mashan City. He stood in the command room of the division headquarters located in a local mansion and shouted at the radio:

"Yoman, you bastard! I don't want to listen to your explanation! I will never allow you to lie on the spot and stay motionless! Attack me! Attack! Only counterattack can make the North Koreans in a state of chaos! What about the two South Korean brigades transferred to you? Ask them to take turns to carry out counterattacks! Anyone who dares to escape and shoots the spot!"

After hanging up the phone, Walker took a breath and scolded Major General Keane, the commander of the 25th Division, and all the officers of the 25th Division:

"We are engaged in a war for time, we can no longer retreat, retreat or adjust positions, and any measures imaginable. We have no way to retreat!"

After saying that, Walker bared his yellow teeth, shaved everyone with his eyes, and added:

"Each force must fight back! Let the North Koreans fall into chaos. Only in this way can we gain the initiative in this defensive battle! There cannot be a reprint of Dunkirk! There cannot be a replay of Bataan! Once we retreat to Busan, it will make it the largest slaughterhouse in history!"

After suppressing his anger, Walker began to encourage the officers again and said:

"We must fight to the end, share life and death. Whoever loses the position will be responsible for the deaths of thousands of companions! I swear, I will send the lost positions to the military court! Syngman Lee has drawn 400,000 of the men of the three million people he brought to Busan and armed them with American rifles. You must be good at using South Korean troops and launching constant counterattacks! Regarding deserters, Syngman Lee has repeatedly emphasized that he will shoot him on the spot immediately without any trial!

I ask that you should convey my words to everyone in the teacher. I hope everyone understands that we will never retreat! We will win!"

………………………………………

Jin Yuecheng held the phone and urged the Sixth Infantry Division: "Have you all done your preparations? Before this morning, regardless of whether the Third Militia Division has taken down Baishui Cave or not, you will launch a general attack!, together with the Fourth and Fifth Militia Divisions, rush into Mashan! Don't turn back and keep rushing in! The First Infantry Division, as a reserve team, is ready in Xian'an. As long as you open the gap at all costs, the First Infantry Division, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Militia Divisions can break through and support you!"

Jin Hucan, commander of the 6th Infantry Division, said: "Commander! This will cause great casualties! The US military's super Bazuka rocket launcher is very powerful. In the previous battle to attack Qiufengshan, 25 of our division's 30 T-34s were smashed in the first round! Without clearing the outer positions, it is impossible to attack Mashan for a strong attack!"

Jin Yuecheng was silent when he heard this. He thought about the coming 58,000 US troops. The countdown of Katakata could not help but sound in his ears. The death-hunting sound of clocks and clocks has never stopped since receiving information from Chinese comrades.

Mashan is Kim Yo-cheng's final attempt. If it fails, he will never be besieged Busan again, and he will be in vain to fight against the US military.

"The Third Militia Division attacked Baishui Cave all day. Although it has not taken this place as a breakthrough, the defense here must have been loosened! I order you to rush forward with the Third Militia Division tonight. Anyone who dares to turn his face to the west will rectify the Dharma on the spot!"

After Jin Hucan hung up the phone, he whispered to himself in a low voice: "Jin Cunyou, you must take down the Baishui Cave before the early morning!"

On the other end of the phone that hung up, Jin Yuecheng thought silently: "If you can't win this battle, the entire encirclement will collapse, right?"

………………………………………

The meat grinder in the Busan Ring Defense Circle was determined by Jin Yuecheng. He mobilized two main divisions and five militia divisions to launch a squeeze attack in from Baishui Cave in Mashan at all costs, and then faced the most tragic night.

The early morning finally arrived, and after the 6th Infantry Division came to supervise the battle, the Third Militia Division was punished by 19 unfavorable officers on the spot after paying the price of 4,500 casualties during the day.

Jin Cunyou, the commander of the Third Militia Division, led the last 4,000 soldiers of the entire division, and finally broke through the Baishui Cave defense line at 10 o'clock that night after nightfall. At this time, the original reorganization of the Third Militia Division was 10,500, leaving only more than one thousand. The Sixth Infantry Division, which was in concert, also killed and injured more than 2,000 people, and the Fourth Militia Division was killed and injured more than 3,000 people.

Finally, the historical mission of the Third Militia Division was completed. Jin Cunyou received an order to take the remaining 1,000 people from the entire division, and stand by in Baishuidong defense with the Fourth Militia Division. The Sixth Infantry Division led the Fifth Militia Division to rush towards the shaking central area of ​​Mashan.

This will be a bloody confrontation……
