"No, aerial reconnaissance did not find such signs..."

……

The 46th Army and the 66th Army are now jointly responsible for the Western Front defense of the Volunteer Army.

The 46th Army from Siye is a new army to join the war, but the 66th Army is not.

As one of the first six armies of the 13th Corps to enter the DPRK, the 66th Army fought the whole field from the first battle to the fourth battle.In the second battle, the 66th Army expelled the 24th and 25th divisions of Mibu on the Qingchuan River. In the fourth battle, the 66th Army cooperated with the friendly and neighboring troops under extremely difficult and exhausted conditions, and played Hengcheng-Toping-ri-Wonju Continuous tactical counterattack. After the 1951th Army withdrew in April 4, it rested in the rear for more than half a year. When it entered North Korea again, it was assigned to resist the landing on the east coast.

The equipment and logistics are adjusted to the best condition, the combat experience is rich, and even the physical strength of the commanders and fighters is full.

And some black technology...

"Quick, unpack and assemble! Shunzi, why are you stepping aside, staying in the tail flame area and wanting to enter the field hospital?"

In the combat team of the anti-tank company of the 197th Regiment of the 590th Division, each member of the squad found an ideal position among the bushes and grass with their hands in their hands.One soldier opened the tripod in his hand, and the other soldier connected the small box integrating high and low magnification optical dual lenses and a control handle to the tripod.Another soldier was carrying a small suitcase. Hearing what the squad leader said, he quickly put the suitcase on the ground, lifted the lid of the suitcase, and a launch rail was lifted up.Another soldier took off the anti-tank missile he was carrying on his back, unpacked it, and stuck it on the launch rail.Behind him, there are five soldiers on standby with an anti-tank missile on their backs.

Chapter 241, back again

It took only half an hour for the 5st Battalion of the 1th Regiment of the [-]st US Cavalry Division to drive away the Chinese scouts in front of them, and then galloped along the road heading north.

The recruits of the 1st Battalion were even a little strange, why there were only a few Chinese outside the city of Seoul, but they spent three full months in Seoul and south of the Han River.But this is only the thought that pops up in the mind of the ignorant recruit. The veteran who participated in the "July Campaign", whether in the tank or the armored vehicle, is at this moment in high spirits, constantly looking around.

Just in August, the tank units of the US Cavalry Division all replaced their tanks. The original 8 "Pershing" battalion and 1 M2 "Patton" battalions were replaced by three M46 "Patton" battalions. The new tanks were installed Active infrared night vision device, a bowl-shaped infrared headlight on the front of the turret and above the barrel is very eye-catching.After receiving the tank, the U.S. Cavalry Division conducted field tests on both sides of the Han River. This night vision device is much stronger than the small night vision device on the carbine. The night vision distance can reach 46 meters. If the enemy is on a relatively prominent background, And when in motion, the observation effect can be better.

"Send us to die because we had the best fight, oh damn Trudeau." Sergeant Mosley grumbled unscrupulously in the roaring tank.

"I'm afraid it's not Trudeau's order, it's VF."

"When the rockets with white smoke coming from all directions, remember to take out the cross and kiss it, the rockets will not hit us"

The crew members make up for their grievances one by one.

"If we find a Chinese defensive position, we will maneuver on the spot and support the infantry with artillery and machine guns." The voice of the commander of the tank company came from the walkie-talkie, "Don't think that we can really capture the Chinese artillery position this time. . Survive first, then talk about other things."

"Yes, Captain," Mosley replied.

……

"Look there! There's something burning and flying close to the ground. That thing's spinning!"

The mechanized infantry of the 1st Battalion riding armored vehicles first discovered some strange phenomena.

"It's not one thing, it's three! They're all spinning around on fire."

"No, no, there are four now!"

"It's not white smoke. No RPG flies so fast."

"Franksis, I bet these flaming things are going to the tanks..."

"Oh, Shet! It was flying towards the tank! The tank exploded!"

The 5st Battalion of the 1th Regiment of the [-]st U.S. Cavalry Division—or the "Patton" tank headed by the strengthened battalion-level combat team came into close contact with the first burning light spot. In an instant, the left side of the tank A glistening fireball exploded at the position ahead.The fireball and gunpowder smoke cleared, and the tank began to slow down in bewilderment.Within a few seconds, the leading "Patton" made an earth-shattering explosion. The shells in the car body and turret might have been ignited and detonated at this time. It made two rolls, then fell back to the original place, buckled upside down on the seat ring of the tank chassis.

……

"The teams report the results of the battle." The commander of the anti-tank company called the 10 anti-tank missile teams nearby with a walkie-talkie.

"First set, miss." "Second set, hit." "Third set, hit."

……

10 anti-tank teams fired 10 missiles, 6 hit and 4 missed.

"Go ahead, fire freely, don't have to report every shot on the walkie-talkie after that."

The anti-tank companies of the 590th regiment fired one after another, the missiles flew out, and the towed missiles were spread all the way on the ground. Two or ten minutes later, four or five thin metal strips were laid in front of the missile launch boxes of each anti-tank team. Line, the U.S. military two or three kilometers away, the original armored column composed of more than 10 armored vehicles, more than a dozen tanks and nearly 30 self-propelled artillery has lost more than half, and the remaining vehicles have all been frightened to drive from the road to the roads on both sides. In the wild, they retreated while shooting randomly.

"The tank is going to fire, be careful!"

The team leader roared, and just as he finished speaking, a 90mm grenade fired by a U.S. tank exploded three to forty meters in front of the anti-tank team.

Because of this shot from the US tank, the shooter subconsciously rolled to the side, and after more than ten seconds of manipulation, the anti-tank missile that had already traveled more than half of the distance was uncontrolled, and it flew away.

"Transfer the position immediately, fast!" The team leader said, "We still have the last missile, find a suitable place, and try to destroy another one!"

……

"The anti-tank missile was developed as a project in May 1951. The first sample bomb was shot in July and August. The results were not very satisfactory. After that, Changchun Instrument Factory, Shenyang 5B Factory and Cable Factory made improvements and improvements for more than half a year. test."

At the Beijing War Situation Center, Artillery Commander Chen Xilian directly brought in a set of Red Arrow-1 anti-tank missile system and a model projectile. Now the anti-tank missile belongs to the artillery, just like the towed anti-tank gun (cannon). Therefore, Commander Chen Xilian will handle this matter.

Tang Hua gave a brief introduction to the model bomb and missile launch system.

"Compared with anti-aircraft missiles, the biggest difficulty of anti-tank missiles is that they must be extremely accurate. Anti-aircraft missiles can knock down planes at a distance of 20 meters or 2 meters. If you hit a tank, you don't hit it directly, but it is slightly crooked , then there is nothing. When shooting a target, the target of the anti-tank missile is a wall with a width of 1.5 meters and a height of 2 meters. The projection in our eyes is almost the size of 1.5 meters by [-] meters, and it may be smaller."

"If you want to shoot very accurately, the radio command mode of the anti-aircraft missile is not very easy to use. The Red Arrow-1 uses copper wire guidance, which is a coil, placed on the buttocks of the missile. After the missile flies out, The coil is the automatic line of defense. How many pieces the missile flies, the wire that falls off the coil must be thrown out enough length. So the first small problem encountered by the anti-tank missile is the coil. The coil strength was not enough in the first test. , always broken. Later, the cable factory solved this problem, but there was still the problem of high cost of the coil, and it took about 6 months in total.”

"Then there is the control surface on the missile. Because it needs to be accurate, when the shooter uses the handle to issue a correction command, the missile flight trajectory must be fine-tuned, and the movement should not be too large, otherwise the missile is likely to fall to the ground. In order to debug To control the strength of the rudder, we also spent about seven months on the adjustment of the motor and steering gear. Of course, the improvement of the wire and the adjustment of the control rudder were carried out simultaneously by the two factories.”

"By June this year, we had basically solved the technical problems of anti-tank missiles, mass-produced a batch of live-fire tests in the shooting range, and the result was that the hit rate for stationary objects the size of tanks was about 6%, and the hit rate for moving objects was 80% to 50%. , the reason why there is a large margin of error is that the accuracy of the missile has a lot to do with the skill of the shooter. Oh, by the way, the same is true for our radio-corrected guided bombs during the Penghu Battle. The bombardiers are very good , then the crew's bombing performance is good, and Commander Liu knows this matter best."

Liu Yelou, who had been listening just now, was thinking now.After thinking for a while, Liu Yelou said: "If the Air Force can install this thing on the Il-2, it will be incredible."

This, this, this... Commander Liu's brains are not small.

Tang Hua: "Commander Liu, the anti-tank missile is dragging a line behind it..."

Liu Yelou. "oh."

Tang Hua: "But it's not hopeless... Commander Liu, do you know about helicopters? The Soviet Union exhibited one called the Mi-1 last year, and now it seems that the Mi-4 has just been produced."

Liu Yelou slapped his head: "I have a blind spot in my thinking. Il-2 can't hover in the air, but helicopters are born to hover."

Chen Xilian: "Commander Liu, you can just wait. Helicopters need to build a new factory."

……

"The battle near Uijin government lasted until 5 pm. Today, near noon, the U.S. military entered Uijin government. When they tried to attack north from Uijin government, they were shot back by anti-tank guns and anti-tank missiles from a long distance. Then An hour earlier, a battalion-level combat team of the U.S. Army tried to bypass the Uigong government from Minledong and directly attack Yangzhou. It was ambushed by an anti-tank missile company of the 66th regiment of our 590th Army. At 56:32 p.m., the two regiments of the U.S. Army that had occupied Uigungbu retreated back again, and our 5th Army and 66th Army were chasing them under the cover of artillery fire and expanding their victories.”

Zhisi summarized the battle situation in the Hanjiang North Plain during the day, and the summary was completed between 7 o'clock and 8 o'clock, and it was immediately sent back to the Beijing War Situation Center.

Su Yu: "Are the 66th Army and 46th Army now fully occupying the initiative on the battlefield? Can the results of the battle be expanded tonight?"

Mr. Peng: "Before the war, we have learned that the tanks under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Cavalry Division 66 have been fully equipped with night vision devices. During today's daytime battle with the U.S. Army, most of the tanks destroyed by the U.S. Army were under our control. After on-site inspection, The U.S. tanks are indeed fully equipped with active infrared night vision devices. But night combat still has to be fought. Generally speaking, our army still has an advantage in night combat experience. Although the U.S. military has caught up in terms of night vision devices, our side Night vision devices and communication equipment still have certain technical advantages. Tonight, the 1th Army and the [-]st Army Corps of the Korean People’s Army plan to conduct night operations to blast the U.S. and South Korean troops back to Seoul and Goyang.”

Su Yu: "That's great. The War Situation Center will wait all night for news from the front."
