Chapter 36: Speculation after getting lost

The Polar Bear Regiment of the 7th Division!

Xia Yuan retracted his body and suddenly remembered something.

The Battle of Changjin Lake lasted for ten days. The battle in Xinxingli annihilated the 31st Regiment of the 7th Division of the US Army, also known as the "Polar Bear Regiment". In fact, according to the intelligence of the Volunteer Army, a battalion of the US military was stationed in Xinxingli at that time.

To be precise, at that time, the Ninth Corps judged that the garrison strength of the entire Changjin Lake was in one battalion, and Liutanli, Xiajieyuli, Gutuli and Xingxingli were all in the same battalion.

On the contrary, our army judged that the 31st Regiment of the US 7th Division, also known as the Polar Bear Regiment, was going to Zhanhu Lake, so the main force in Xinxingli at that time was the 80th Division and the 242nd Regiment of the 81st Division, while the main force of the 81st was going to Zhanhu Lake.

In fact, there was only one battalion of the U.S. military that went to the Battle Lake. (The reason for the intelligence error was that the Ninth Corps rushed into North Korea. In this foreign mountainous area covered with wind and snow, there was no language barrier and they only relied on intelligence obtained by personnel reconnaissance.)

On November 26, the U.S. 7th Division formed the 31st Regimental Combat Team (reinforcement regiment) with the 31st Regiment Headquarters leading the 3rd Battalion of the 31st Regiment, the 1st Battalion of the 32nd Regiment, the 57th Field Artillery Battalion and some reinforcement units.

Enter Xinxingli area on the east bank of Jangjin Lake.

On November 27, the battle started, guns and artillery exchanged, and the firepower of the US military was exposed. Only then did our army realize that they had seriously ignored the enemy's troop input in Changjin Lake.

The new polar bear regiment also arrived in Xingxingli on the 26th, the day before the battle started.

The battle of Changjin Lake was about to start, and all the teams were rushing to Changjin Lake. At this time, he encountered a polar bear group, which made Xia Yuan wonder whether the polar bear group was rushing to Xinxingli from the direction of Zhanhu Lake. In fact, Xia Yuan was not aware of these situations.

He is also in a state of confusion now. His understanding of the Battle of Changjin Lake is only from the movies. This American army cannot be any other team, because according to the defense of Changjin Lake, except for the first

In addition to the 7th Division and the Korean Army, there is the 1st U.S. Marine Division.

However, he did not encounter any US military defense points along the way. The 1st US Marine Division was fortified in Liutan, Xiajieyuli and Gutuli. He did not encounter any US military defenses along the way.

It can be said that the road in front of us is not the road where the 1st Marine Division travels. It is not feasible that the US Army strutting on the road is the 1st Marine Division. Then it is most likely the 7th US Division.

Unfortunately, the American army he encountered was another unit, but Xia Yuan felt that it was unlikely. He walked south and could only pass through Changjin Lake, unless he didn't even go in the right direction.

Although Xia Yuan didn't know much about the campaign to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, he still knew a lot about some of the events. Among them, there were only two troops in Changjin Lake, the Polar Bear Regiment of the 1st U.S. Marine Division and the 7th U.S. 7th Division.

In the Lake movie, the Polar Bear Regiment was destroyed, and the purpose of the Battle of Changjin Lake was also to destroy the 1st U.S. Marine Division.

"Calculating the time, it's actually a long time since the battle started. How did this team appear here? Where is my current position?"

Xia Yuan, who was crawling on the snow, was a little confused. According to time calculation, the polar bear group appeared in Xinxing on the 26th, but now it was at most the 20th, or even the 18th-19th. In other words, he was going in the wrong direction.

.

The Polar Bear Group is on other missions!

Xia Yuan, who was holding the gun, didn't know how to proceed for a while. He was completely lost, but one thing was certain, that is, the road ahead was impassable, and the appearance of the US Seventh Division here would be the most effective.

proof of.

Going further ahead, it is probably the area occupied by the US military.

"Maybe I need to change direction."

Just when Xia Yuan was confused.

Direction to Dayu Cave.

After listening to the words of the young comrade from the 7th Interleaved Company, Secretary Liu, in addition to assisting Marshal Peng in completing his daily work these days, he also observed the US military aircraft. He found that the number of US military aircraft in this area was very small at first, but as time passed,

As time went by, the number of U.S. military aircraft gradually increased.

"Xiaoshan, you are the translator of the radio station. Is there a possibility that the radio signal will cause noise interference to the US military aircraft, which will expose our position in Dayu Cave?"

He looked at the little warrior beside him.

Zhang Xiaoshan thought about it seriously: "It may not be impossible. Radio signals will spread to the sky. Records during the Anti-Japanese War showed that the Japanese army used radio signals to intercept our army's telegrams and even interfere with our army's telegrams."

radio signal, so the US military, which has more advanced weapons and equipment, will most likely discover this. Secretary Liu, here are the various leaders. If possible, move the important information in the house to the cave. I would rather believe that it is there than not.

It has nothing.”

Secretary Liu was thinking. He thought about it seriously and said, "I will report this matter to the chief."

That night, Secretary Liu and several leaders discussed the matter late into the night. The radio signal would cause noise interference to enemy aircraft, which aroused the vigilance of the leaders. They decided to transfer the important information to the chief's office and confidential department.

The combat office was moved to a hole in the ground, and information was transmitted in the hole without affecting the radio signal, just in case there was a bombing by enemy planes from the US military.

On November 23, 1950, US military aircraft were circling over the Dayudong area from time to time. On the 24th, the Volunteer Army Headquarters received a telegram from the Intelligence Bureau stating: "The enemy has discovered the location of the Volunteer Army Headquarters, please pay attention to air defense and security work." Until November.

On the 25th, US bombers bombed the Dayudong area.

The commander looked at the mess on the ground after the US bombing, and said with lingering fear: "Thanks to that little soldier's reminder, otherwise the Dayudong bombing would have caused huge fluctuations in the command of frontline soldiers. Information received from the 24th,

We can’t make it in one day.”
