Refuse to join the Wansui Army, I will build an ace division

During the meeting, both the enemy and our side implemented a defensive strategy near the 38th parallel. Large-scale offensive battles basically stopped and turned to small-scale operations.

On May 40, the 5th Army was ordered to move north from Jinhua to carry out second-line anti-landing and anti-airborne combat preparation tasks in the Pingrang area.

During this period, the 118th Division demonstrated outstanding combat capabilities, completed many penetration missions, and blocked the enemy outside the coastline.

On August 8, the United Nations forces took advantage of the severe flood disaster in North Korea and the supply difficulties of our army to launch a summer offensive. The main direction of the attack was the positions defended by the North Korean People’s Army from the east of the North Korean River to the east coast, and the famous "Sad Ridge" and "Bloodstained Ridge Battles" broke out.

The battle lasted for nearly a month. The US army deployed 12 divisions and fired an average of 3 artillery shells a day, but only advanced a few kilometers in some local areas. It was an absolute and huge defeat.

到了9月18日，为配合人民军作战，我军第一线的第64、第47、第42、第26、第27军积极进行有限目标的战术反击，攻击联合军和南朝鲜军多处阵地。

Li Xiangyang was urgently transferred back from the west coast by the Zhisi to cooperate with the front-line troops in joint operations.

The cunning Americans used their superior artillery range to repeatedly bombard our positions on the 38th parallel.

Li Xiangyang commanded four heavy armored combined battalions, quickly went around the enemy's flank, and attacked the US military's armored targets and long-range firepower.

However, due to the ceasefire order issued earlier by Zhisi, the war was not further expanded.

The Americans, who suffered a loss, were the wrong party and could only swallow their anger.

However, Li Qiwei also knew that the Dragon Kingdom’s army had a heavily armored combined brigade.

In a small-scale battle in such complex terrain, the 118th Division was like a fish in water. If the US military wanted to keep them, it would have to send at least three times more troops.

Taking into account the domestic situation and various reasons, Li Qiwei had to suppress his anger and ordered the United Nations Army on the 38th parallel to avoid fighting as much as possible and instead attack our army's logistics line.

The American troops, who also had high mobility, were still able to escape when facing the 118th Division, but this made life difficult for the South Korean army.

In just ten days, they were attacked several times by the 118th Division and suffered more than 2000 casualties.

Considering that the next battle will shift from mobile warfare to positional warfare, in order to ensure logistical supply capabilities, the Zhisi discussed with the domestic staff and decided to establish a logistics command.

After Deputy Commander Hong took office as the logistics commander, he rushed day and night between the logistics agencies of our army's various armies, divisions, and regiments, constantly obtaining the real situation of our army's logistics and trying to find the best solution.

At this time, the 118th Division fighting behind enemy lines caught his attention.

"Old Hong, you can talk to this kid Li Xiangyang. In his concept, logistics is very important."

The commander gave advice.

Deputy Commander Hong called Li Xiangyang and asked him about his views on logistics support.

Li Xiangyang expressed his ideas and mentioned the concept of "Joint Logistics Support Center".

"You mean to set up a joint logistics center in the country to coordinate the dispatch of materials and deliver them to the logistics headquarters for distribution."

Deputy Commander Hong was inspired and creatively proposed a zoning supply mechanism.

To put it simply, the entire supply system is divided into two levels: "campaign" and "tactical".

The area from Yalu River to the logistics departments of various armies was called the "battle rear" and was divided into several divisions according to the region and was uniformly managed by the Logistics Command.

The area between each army's logistics department and the front line is called the "tactical rear" and is managed by each army's own logistics department.

Domestic supplies are first sent to the front line by the logistics command through the "battle rear". After being delivered to the "tactical rear", they are handed over to the logistics departments of each army, and then distributed to each soldier by each army.

The positional warfare that followed also confirmed the superiority of this mechanism.

"I don't know how much stuff is in Li Xiangyang's head!"

Deputy Commander Hong said to the Commander.

"After the battle, we must train this kid well. It would be a waste of his talent to just let him fight!"

The negotiations are still ongoing, and the Americans are trying every means to delay time in an attempt to turn the tide of the war.

Zhisi saw through their wolfish ambitions, but did not relax his vigilance against the 38th parallel and was always ready for the next battle.

At the same time, the commander pointed out that our army could give up dozens of miles of positions in exchange for a more efficient attack on the enemy.

By the end of October, the 118th Division attacked many positions of the US and South Korean troops, killing and wounding more than 3900 enemies. In cooperation with the frontal troops, I killed and wounded more than 2 enemies at the premise of giving up 8 to 7.8 kilometers of positions.

The coalition forces' summer and autumn offensives were all crushed by our army, and their offensive capabilities were greatly weakened, so they had no choice but to sit back at the negotiation table.

After several months of fighting, the battalions under the 118th Division have become more perfectly integrated and their new combat mode has become more sophisticated.

During this period, He Yuzhu made many military achievements, and the artillery company he commanded became the main force of the artillery battalion.

After Li Xiangyang reported his contribution, He Yuzhu successfully became the deputy battalion commander of the artillery battalion.

In addition, Li Xiangyang also discovered that Li Jicheng was good at multi-terrain sports, had first-class sniping skills, and had outstanding physical fitness. These qualities made him think of a type of soldier - special forces.

According to the development in the previous life, the concept of special forces will be proposed in 1955, and the proposer is none other than the famous young man in the area - Li Yunlong.

However, for the development of his brothers, Li Xiangyang reported the idea of ​​establishing a special forces.

"Special Forces?"

After reading Li Xiangyang's report, the commander raised his eyebrows.

Compared with heavy brigades, special forces cost much less to build and are more popular.

However, the personal qualities required of the soldiers are much higher.

"Li Xiangyang is such a troublemaker!"

The commander smiled and sent the document "On the Feasibility of Special Forces" to the country.

After reading it in China, it was also recognized and was the first to be promoted in the country.

at the same time.

In the Hujian Military Region, a middle-aged commander with thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly sneezed several times in succession.

"Comrade Lao Li, I've told you many times not to sneeze at people!"

His wife Tian Yu said dissatisfiedly.

Li Yunlong rubbed his nose, feeling somewhat confused.

He has always been in good health. After fighting for so many years, he has hardly ever been sick.

"Damn it, who is talking about me behind my back?"

Li Yunlong frowned and cursed.

"No swearing!"

Tian Yu's eyes suddenly widened and he scolded.
