The „Chong Ju“ experience!
This week I joined the weekly steelbeasts session from the BG ANZAC guys again.
These days the guys from DOWN UNDER play around with an attack mission named “Chong Ju”.
Mark (Gibsonm) made a scenario and everybody who wants, can make a plan and get the chance to execute as CO.
Here you can see the map and the orders:
Last week Brian (smithcorp) had the first chance and we executed his plan very well.
This week Juno developed a plan and 6 of us gave their best to follow his orders.
I had the T12A (2x M1A2(SEP) with mineplows) section and the engineer (2x M113eng) section under my command. Jumo wanted to attack through the minefield, so my part was to breach it.
We had a little bit time, so my loader relaxed and I watched around and saw our MechInf and the CO go in their starting positions.
To our north the cavalry guys and the FO party went in observing positions.
Our guys in the Echelon are ready too.
After the recon guys were in position the first reports came in.
The cavalry guys dismounted their squads to have a better view with the Javelin thermals.
Our Company was in formation and ready to attack.
Jumo ordered the T11 platoon in an over watching position to cover my breach and he ordered an arty smoke screen.
Everything was good and I moved forward to breach the minefield.
My gunner spotted a T-80 but our T11 behind us did his job very well.
We spotted an enemy engineer vehicle too and my AI wingman took him out.
We spotted some infantry units in bunkers too. But in this phase of the fight I only reported the enemy. Priority 1 had the minefield and we found it.
The plan was to breach with the engineers. I changed the plan, made my plows ready and started the breach.
The engineer section followed my tanks and marked the minefield and checked the size of the minefield.
Now the rest of the party followed through the minefield and started their attack to take OBJ1.
I supported with some HEAT rounds and MG fire. I also spotted a lot of barb wire around the defensive position.
Looks like they will need my plows again.

Now I breach the barb wire.
In the mean time I made some mine detecting training with my engineer dismounts.
Our CO pushed the MechInf forward to OBJ2. We knew there was one BRDM2-AT destroyed and minimum 1 alive.
Who is faster? Brian in his M1A2 or Mark in his M113AS4?
Brian got the first chance.
But Mark hits were better.
So after a couple of minutes OBJ2 was ours.
I collected my units in OBJ1 ready to support.
final positions:
Junos plan worked and for a bloody civilian he made a good job as CO.
Here the mission in time lapse:
After the mission Mark moderated the debrief and everybody had the opportunity to give some feedback.
All in all a very enjoyable and informative morning for me and maybe next week another guy will have a new plan.
If you want to make a plan here is the mission file.
