Chapter 116 Experience, often limited

The troops who had just entered the DPRK were all gearing up to fight against the American devils in the DPRK, and they were all ready to fight hard.The combat knowledge they gained was the combat experience introduced by the troops who entered the DPRK earlier, especially the victory experience of the second battle.Almost all they heard was that the defense of the United Nations Army was an egg shell, which was empty inside. As long as they boldly penetrated, pierced in, and flanked the enemy's rear, the United Nations Army could be defeated. Therefore, everyone believes that to fight a good battle, as long as you find the right breakthrough, adopt sharp knife tactics, and use intensive firepower and capable vanguard troops to insert, the whole battle situation will be won.

Experience is often limited. Failure is the mother of success. The general of the United Nations Army finally found his "mother" after many miserable failures.Ridgway is not MacArthur, and the United Nations Army in the fifth battle is not the United Nations Army of yesterday. This group of American elites has learned lessons from failures and found a way. They established a defense-in-depth with close cooperation between troops and ground-to-air firepower. Once a breakthrough point of the Volunteers was found, they quickly blocked it with firepower, so that the Volunteers could not achieve the goal of deep penetration.

Once the penetration fails, the Volunteer Army's attack will become a flat push. Once pushed flat, the advantages of the United Nations Army's weapons and equipment will be brought into play. In the fifth battle, the Volunteers used modern equipment such as motorized artillery vehicles for the first time. They had little experience and many problems, and their effectiveness and coordination ability were greatly reduced.Due to lack of experience, poor organization of night operations, and poor engineering support capabilities, most motorized artillery can only advance 20 to 30 kilometers a night, and mule artillery can only advance 8 kilometers, so that the artillery cannot keep up with the infantry. With strong fire support, even if the United Nations forces are surrounded, it is difficult to achieve the effect of mass annihilation.
