    [403] A hard battle is coming. On Woody Island, a small island with 4,000 residents, Captain Clark formed his own "Youth Corps", which is more than 150 people from 14 to 18 years old who have received the "nationalization" of South Korea.  After receiving their first salary, the children of "education" also received a promise from a South Korean translator that "they will become heroes if they succeed", provided that this soft promise can work.  . Clark selected 40 sentries from the children's corps and asked them to patrol around the island. Who would pay attention to these half-grown children?  And the infinite energy and keen observation of these half-grown children are exactly the best for sentry.  Clark selected 8 more people and divided them into two groups. They set up two heavy machine guns on the island where they could wade across the sea when the tide was low to take charge of the security mission.  These eight older children were exposed to heavy machine guns for the first time, but after simple training, they excitedly learned how to use the crosshair to put the target on the target and pull the trigger.  Clark hoped that if he needed to escape by boat, these two sets of heavy machine guns could block the People's Army for a while and buy him some time.  The rest of the children's league members were issued guns and began to follow Clark and were dispatched to perform investigation missions.  Clark decided that the first step was to catch the "tongue".  But the target is not to choose North Korean soldiers, but fishermen, so it is not easy to alert the enemy.  After capturing three fishing boats with an assault boat, Clark confirmed from the fishermen that there were no mines in Incheon Port.  “Combined with the huge tidal range of Incheon Port and the rapid current of Feiyu Channel, Clark has no doubt about this.  Laying mines is a professional and dangerous job. Without professional minelayers and professionals, as well as detailed hydrographic drawings, it is basically impossible to effectively implement it.  Historically, after the Chinese Volunteers entered North Korea, General Peng specifically requested the Navy to send personnel to lay mines in the Chongchuan River to prevent US armed gunboats from attempting to block the retreat of our Volunteers along the Chongchuan River.  Later, two US gunboats were indeed bombed and sunk. Mr. Peng knew that the enemy was ahead.  At that time, the Navy dispatched only a few professional minelaying personnel and a five-man officer corps who had served as navigator of a minesweeper. They carried out continuous depth measurements and underwater laying in the Chongchuan River before completing the task of laying mines.  Laying mines is definitely not like sprinkling pepper and throwing it in. In reality, there is no such leisurely mine laying method.  Moreover, mines are the kind of thing that "as time goes by, the mines that were previously deployed disappear very quickly, and no one knows where they went". If you want to achieve the purpose of blockade, you need to repeatedly replenish the mines. Each time, the mines are replenished.  They are all dangerous. Maybe by some mistake, your minelayer inexplicably hit the mines you had deployed before, which were carried by the current and tide Back to the topic, before the scheduled attack date arrives, Clark's "Youth League"  ", or the Children's League finally helped him to initially explore the deployment of troops in Incheon Port: - There are about a thousand militiamen at Incheon Pier, setting up checkpoints everywhere and blocking all roads to the inland, so the troops in the rear are unable to do so.  Find out.  ——There are two anti-aircraft guns, seven machine guns, and three artillery pieces above 60mm on Wolmi Island.  ——There are 20 coastal guns in the concrete fortifications on Wolmi Island.  ——There are 25 machine guns and 5 120mm howitzers on Xiaowolmi Island.  ——There are about 2,000 troops in total on Daewolmi Island. Their numbers are unknown. They seem to be militiamen.  ——The Batei Island Lighthouse was not damaged, but the battery wiring was cut off.  After arresting two North Korean policemen, Clark heard that the troops in Incheon Port were very weak.  By this time, Clark thought that the investigation was almost done, so he sent back a telegram and reported in detail the results of his investigation.  At the same time, it was agreed that on the evening of August 14, he would light the Palmi Island Lighthouse that had been closed by the North Korean army.  "There is no doubt that Captain Eugene Clark's investigation was worthy of the Navy Cross he later received for it.  While Clark's reconnaissance operation was underway, the U.S. military's feint attack also began.  MacArthur ordered U.S. bombers to launch violent air attacks on the coastal roads and railways in the Gunsan Port area suitable for landing.  All radio broadcasts and newspapers and magazines began to publish news compiled by the US military intelligence agency.  "Here is the latest news from the Associated Press. General Walker announced that after being supplemented by three infantry divisions, the Pusan ??defensive perimeter will shift from defense to full-scale counterattack in mid-October" "Here is the latest news from Kyodo News, the coalition forces in Busan  The stockpiling of supplies has been completed, and a full-scale counterattack is expected to begin on October 15th" "The Washington Post estimates that the coalition's counterattack in October will be unstoppable" "" A string of news is suggesting that the US military will launch a counterattack in October.  In October, a full-scale counterattack began in Busan.  &nbspThe U.S. military intelligence agency even put out smoke bombs in U.S. newspapers, suggesting that it would land at Incheon in mid-October. Combined with the current situation of the U.S. military's violent bombing of the mountains, it is easy to mislead North Korea into thinking that Incheon is not the landing point chosen by the U.S. military, or the landing time.  The window is October, not the immediate August.  Negative emotions are contagious, and a qualified general will never show his weakness in front of his subordinates.  Therefore, even though Jin Yuecheng was depressed inside, he still showed his confident side to everyone at that time.  However, the battle for Mashan outside Busan started at the end of June and has been going on for more than a month.  After consecutive days of fighting, although it achieved huge results against the US-ROK coalition forces, the People's Army itself also suffered heavy losses. Since the war began, the total casualties have exceeded 60,000. Compared with the US military's more than 8,000 casualties, the South Korean army has suffered heavy casualties.  The exchange ratio for more than 40,000 casualties was quite high.  But if you look carefully, the casualties of the People's Army are mainly due to the US military, and the US military is still increasing its troops in Busan.  After the Americans quickly popularized and equipped the Super Bazooka, the People's Army's more than 200 T-34 tanks have lost 80%, leaving only more than 50 tanks, completely losing their magic at the beginning of the war.  If we continue like this, all the people's wealth will be left in Busan.  Although Kim Yue-sung personally came to the front line to direct operations and boost morale, the U.S. military's day-to-day artillery fire coverage and targeted aircraft bombings made the people bloody every step of the way.  The Baishuidong position captured before the Mashan Battle was lost to the U.S. military's counterattack.  Not only Masan, but the entire Busan encirclement has fallen into a stalemate.  As a last resort, Jin Yuecheng ordered all troops to start overhauling fortifications in preparation for a long-term confrontation in Busan.  Kim Yue-sung couldn’t care less about the Incheon landing, so he decided to take a gamble. He felt that at worst, Incheon could become the second Busan. If he fought well, he might even eliminate the US military in Incheon.  The war there was left to Deputy Commander Cui Yongjian.  Ten newly recruited militia divisions of about 110,000 people and one main division have been deployed in Inchon, preparing to encircle the US troops after landing.  If China had not generously supported the second batch of 100,000 rifles and 100,000 grenades after the first batch of more than 200,000 rifles for the 20 divisions, Kim Yue-sung, who was already stretched at this time, would not have been able to organize the army.  A new army has been formed.  Since the war started on June 1, the average weapon loss of the People's Army participating in the war has reached 10% to 20% every month. At present, the loss of rifles alone is as high as more than 30,000.  After the factories in the rear were bombed by the US military, the firearms repair and accessories production capacity was only 30 to 40% of the previous level.  Jin Yuecheng used to look down on miscellaneous troops and hoped to use a full set of Soviet weapons to unify their equipment, but now that he is facing a massive increase in troops from the US military, he is no longer in the mood to be reserved.  He has ordered that all previously captured U.S. military supplies be unsealed, and together with the U.S-made rifles aided by China, fully armed militia divisions will be continuously armed on a large scale. Soviet weapons are only used in the main infantry divisions.  On the basis of maintaining ten main infantry divisions with approximately 110,000 troops and ten militia divisions with 100,000 troops, for a total of 210,000 troops, ten additional militia divisions will be built.  In this way, the total strength of the People's Army will reach 300,000, which is already the mobilization limit of North Korea's eight million population. North Korea's weak national strength really cannot support more soldiers.  Because of constant consumption, the army is increasingly lacking heavy weapons.  Kim Yue-sung, who began to rely on grenades, was determined to fight a people's war with grenades and rifles against the multinational forces led by the US military Deputy Commander Cui Yongjian once had brilliant combat experience in the Northeast Anti-Japanese Alliance and once led the army in combat  Killed the Japanese Army Major General Captain.  By studying the Pacific War information provided by Chinese comrades, Deputy Commander Cui understood that trying to stop the US military by building defensive positions on the beach was no different from directly committing suicide.  Faced with the absolutely dominant sea and air firepower of the U.S. military, even the concrete bunkers built on the Incheon beach could not stop the coverage of iron bombs and naval guns.  What's more, where do you get the steel and concrete to build the bunkers?  Even if we give him materials, how can he repair it in a short time?  "There is no doubt that the best strategy is to retreat inland, build deep positions where the U.S. warships and guns cannot reach, and dig countless tunnels and caves to hide troops.  Just like what the Japanese Tadashi Kuribayashi did in the battle information of the Battle of Iwo Jima provided by Chinese comrades.  "But in the Battle of Iwo Jima, the Japanese army was a lone army trapped on an island. Not only did it not have naval and air support, it didn't even have land support. Failure was inevitable.  And Cui Yongjian has been digging countless transport trenches between the trenches like a mole in the past month and a half, stretching from Seoul to Incheon like a spider web.  This time, even the great men in the north who know history are not sure whether the US military can reach Seoul quickly.  When Xiaoqiang asked Commander-in-Chief Zhu,The commander said: "Next, it depends on how determined the US military is in taking over Seoul." ———————— Sincere thanks to hzwangj, user 05492126, Shui Boutou, Xingyinghuang, Zizhu! ? ?Thank you everyone for the rewards.
