Chapter 159 The Unexpected Battle of the Watergate Bridge

Of course, this example may not make sense, but in the original plot of the Changjin Lake movie, the "Polar Bear Regiment" was annihilated, and in the Xinxingli battle where the head of the regiment, McClean, was killed, it was estimated that the U.S. military had only one reinforced battalion, but later captured After interrogating with a tongue, I realized that there were actually five battalions of troops, more than three times the estimated number.

This is why the Battle of Changjin Lake was fought so fiercely. In addition to the non-combat attrition caused by the severe cold of minus 40°C, the main reason was the misjudgment of the enemy, which caused huge sacrifices for our army.

Originally, the 15 soldiers of the Ninth Corps could form a three-to-two force advantage against the 10 Allied Army headed by the Mi Army.

However, why didn't Song Shilun move the 26th Army forward in time at that time, but waited until it couldn't be moved before hurriedly transferring the 26th Army, which was originally a reserve, to the front line!
First, have confidence in the main force, after all, Huaye was once the most effective force;

Second, you can also understand that it is to prevent the Mi army from attacking from the east and form a roundabout outflank to our army.

Third, it can also be considered that this is Song Shilun's backhand. For example, when both sides were exhausted from fighting, they suddenly pressed the recuperating 26th Army, as the last straw that crushed the Mi Army.

As for the fourth, of course, it may be a command error, not having a good judgment on the battlefield situation, underestimating the combat effectiveness of the Mi army, and not knowing the number of the enemy's troops.

In the original plot, the order of the highest command on the front line is that the Ninth Corps must deal with all the encircled enemies on December [-]rd.

However, because the number and combat power of the Mi Army were underestimated, the 27th Army and the [-]th Army at that time suffered huge casualties, and the offensive was obviously exhausted. Moreover, after the "Polar Bear" regiment was wiped out, the Mi Army realized that it could not continue in Changjin Lake. Fighting against the tide aid army, he ordered the whole army to retreat south to Xianxing, highlighting the tide aid army to encircle.

So after facing such a very urgent military situation, Song Shilun ordered the 26th Army to quickly go to the Xiajieyuli area to completely block the retreat of the US troops fleeing south.

Then the 26th Army received an order to arrive at Xiajieyu during the day on December [-]th, and launch a general attack on Xiajieyu at [-]:[-] pm.

However, the 26th Army was always on the north side of Changjin Lake as a reserve team at that time. The lions in the entire garrison area were 45 kilometers away from Xiajieyu Ri, the closest one was [-] kilometers away, and the farthest distance was [-] kilometers away. In the severe cold weather, equipment and materials are in short supply, and it is impossible to march all day and night.

So Zhang Renchu, the commander of the 26th Army, argued hard with Song Shilun, and finally Song Shilun reluctantly agreed to delay the arrival of the 26th Army by one day.

接着26军把这一任务又交给了88狮，可是当时的88狮距离下碣隅里以南的独秀峰更是有70多公里。或许有一种猜测：可能是通讯员在情急之下把78狮错看成了88师，导致88狮接到了这个任务。

Of course, the possibility of this is naturally very small. If this is the case, then the correspondent must be peanuts and can't escape.Maybe the 88 Lions were chosen because they thought the 88 Lions were the best way to go. Of course, it might also be because they thought the 88 Lions had the strongest combat power in the 26th Army, so they chose the 88 Lions to take on this interception mission.

Although the task is difficult, it is not impossible. It was also in this battle that the 26 Lions of the 88th Army’s Western Front Offensive also received similar tasks as the 72th Army’s Eastern Front Offensive and the 38th Lions. , but it took them only 26 hours and one night to march 88 kilometers in a hurry, grabbing ahead of the enemy and blocking the retreat of the Mi army.Compared with the [-]th Division of the [-]th Army, the [-]th Lion of the [-]th Army has more time and can completely complete the task.

However, Wu Daling, the head of the 88 Lions, thought that the troops had already set up camp, it would be difficult to march at night, and they might get lost. For a series of inexplicable reasons, they postponed the departure time to the next afternoon, which was ten times later than the time requested by the superior. five hours.

Moreover, marching along the main road during the day, they must have been bombarded by the rice army, causing serious casualties.The jeep that the lion chief Wu Daling was riding was destroyed by the Mi army, and he himself was almost hit by shrapnel.Then it caused the lion department and the command to lose contact for a day.

During the march to Duxiu Peak, due to the misjudgment of the lion chief Wu Daling, the main group retreating down the mountain was violently counterattacked by the Mi army on the way to retreat, and many commanders and fighters including the group leader were killed.

All of the above gave life to the main force of the highly mechanized land battle team, and successfully broke through from Xiajieyu. Therefore, although the fight was fierce this time, it did not hurt him.

Therefore, although the Aid Chao army achieved a strategic victory in this battle, it was not satisfactory. First of all, it was not fully prepared for the war, especially the enemy's situation was not clear enough, which led to the failure to wipe out the ace land battle of the rice army. Teacher, did not let him hurt his muscles and bones.

Although Song Shilun, the commander of the Ninth Corps, was responsible for the fact that the attack did not achieve the desired goal, the most serious problem was the 88 Lions. Shi Leng couldn't make up a regiment, and his combat effectiveness was basically lost.

The reason for all this is that Wu Daling, the head of the 88 Lions, did not follow the requirements of the headquarters. You must know that it took more than 30 hours to march 75 kilometers. Kilometers more than double the time ah!
If Wu Daling gives the order to march more in time, then the 88 lions can definitely arrive at the predetermined target point, and marching at night will not be easy to be spotted by the Mi army aircraft.

So after this battle, Wu Daling, the head of the 88 Lions, and other commanders of the 88 Lions were also dismissed together, and even the designation of the 88 Lions was cancelled.

Because of the delay of the 88 Lions, the plan of the Ninth Corps to wipe out the rice army and one lion fell short, and did not achieve the original combat goal, so it is natural to punish the commanders of the 88 Lions.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Bailixiu. What has the most to do with Bailixiu is because of Wu Daling's failure, which allowed Mi Jun's land battle lion to escape from Xiajieyu, and Song Shilun, who didn't want to give up just like that. The Seventh Company and the Third Battalion, which were the most powerful in individual combat in the Ninth Corps, were given the task of going to the Shuimen Bridge to blow up the Shuimen Bridge to intercept the Land War One Lion.

However, Song Shilun's idea was good, but the reality was cruel. How much energy did the Third Battalion and the Seventh Company, who had already gone through several battles, have to go to the Shuimen Bridge, which was heavily defended by the Rice Frying Army!
Although in the end Wu Qianli overwhelmed the last personnel of the entire company and finally blew up the Shuimen Bridge, the mechanized engineers of the Mi Army repaired the Shuimen Bridge very easily, allowing Wu Qianli to intersperse the sacrifice of the Seventh Company It was wasted.
