The battle lasted for half an hour. The soldiers found a lot of food from the truck, including rice, biscuits, cans, bullets, grenades, etc. There were a lot of them.
Seeing the food and ammunition, the soldiers moved vigorously into the woods.
Yang Nanzhen was worried that the enemy might retaliate, so he led a few soldiers to burn the two trucks together with the supplies that could not be taken away, and led them into the woods.
After walking about three kilometers, the enemy's plane arrived. They most likely heard the sounds of fighting here and came to investigate. They circled in the sky and seemed to have discovered two burned transport trucks on the road. Then
He flew away without looking back.
At this time, Yang Nanzhen had already led them deep into the woods. The enemy's planes had no choice but to suffer the loss.
In the woods, Yangnan Town held another branch meeting to summarize combat experience and commend advanced individuals in the battle. Then they brought the good weapons and threw away the bad ones. Cans and biscuits were given to the wounded first, and then to the wounded.
Soldiers, the rice was boiled into a pot of rice porridge at night and eaten with the American canned beef.
After eating and drinking enough, the soldiers continued northward along the mountain road. They were very lucky that they did not encounter enemies along the way.
At dawn, they stayed on the mountain again, not daring to move forward. There were fewer and fewer trees around them, and if they moved any further they might be spotted by enemy aircraft, so everyone rested in the trees on the mountain.
Yangnan Town once again sent scouts to investigate the situation. In the evening, the scouts came back and reported: "There is another road at the foot of the mountain not far ahead."
After hearing this, Yang Nanzhen immediately decided to lurk and cross the highway again at night. The team had just climbed to the opposite mountain and Yang Nanzhen's order had just been issued. The sound of cars came from the distance. Yang Nanzhen heard the sound and started again.
He called on the soldiers to disperse and take cover.
"We will stay hidden and look at the situation. If appropriate, we will fight."
The entire company's guns were pointed at the road.
At six o'clock in the evening, seven large trucks drove over from the winding road in the distance, and soon arrived at their ambush position. When Yang Nanzhen saw that there were no infantry following behind, and whether there were other trucks, he shouted
A cry: "Hit!"
The soldiers pulled the triggers one after another, giving priority to hitting the enemy's tires and windshields, forcing the truck team to stop. They took out grenades from their arms and threw them hard towards the road.
Forty minutes later, the Third Company eliminated twelve American Japs, captured seven prisoners, and seized a lot of guns and ammunition. The other American Japs ran away, and the soldiers were asked to change their weapons, burn the trucks, and take them with them.
The seven prisoners went up the mountain.
But these prisoners had a stubborn temper, or they knew the Volunteer Army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, and knew they were captured by the Volunteer Army, so they would not kill them. These American prisoners refused to leave, either alive or dead.
What should I do if I don’t leave?
Many comrades advocated killing these prisoners, because in this battle, the soldiers also suffered casualties. One comrade was sacrificed and several were injured. Everyone was very angry and held their breath. They wanted to kill the prisoners, not only
In order to vent his anger, but also to avenge those comrades who sacrificed their lives.
Yang Nanzhen told everyone: "You can't kill them. This is not in line with our volunteer army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners."
Later, Yang Nanzhen thought of a way, which was also the method Xia Yuan used to treat American prisoners. Unfortunately, there were no soldiers in the third company who could speak the American language. Otherwise, he could ask them to see if they could find any useful ones.
Intelligence. Then they tied them up on the road, regardless of what they said. When their people came, they would see the American soldiers tied to the trees and rescue them.
After abandoning these American prisoners, Yang Nanzhen led the soldiers to continue heading north, but this time Yang Nanzhen changed the direction and chose a westward direction, which was roughly the eleven o'clock direction when facing due west.
When they had just walked about seven kilometers, the enemy tanks caught up and fired a few bombardments, which landed on the side of the mountain. The debris exploded everywhere, but it had no effect. The soldiers continued on their way without taking back their heads.
.
This situation lasted until the fifth day. Yang Nanzhen and the others had just crossed a hillside that did not look high when they suddenly heard the sound of artillery. Yang Nanzhen gestured to the soldiers to stop advancing, and then squatted on the top of the hill to fight towards them.
Observed from a distance, the rumbling sound kept ringing.
Yang Nanzhen deduced that it was very likely that we had reached the line of contact between our army and the enemy. After all, they had walked for so long and always had to reach their own positions.
Yang Nanzhen ordered the company to stop and lurk in the surrounding shrubs half a man tall, and at the same time sent a reconnaissance team to investigate.
On the sixth day, that is, at around one o'clock in the morning, the scout ran back and told Yang Nanzhen what he had observed. In front of him was the contact line between the enemy and ourselves, and our army was constantly fighting with the US military. Yang Nanzhen and
Qi Shan and other cadres of the company studied carefully, discussed it, and decided to break out.
Yang Nanzhen said: "Be prepared to break out. Throw away everything you can do without. We are moving forward lightly. We must break through the enemy's defense line as quickly as possible and rush to our army's position. As long as we rush to our
On the military position, we will be safe."
They protected the lightly and seriously wounded in the middle of the team. They threw away all the large iron pots, empty cans, etc. that could be thrown away from the cooking class. They only carried ammunition and rifles with them.
The troops set off and quickly approached the contact line. From a distance, they could feel the bullets flying over the enemy's heads.
Yang Nanzhen said to the soldiers: "Go through and you will find our position. The victory of the breakout is right in front of you. Follow me!"
When everyone heard this, their morale immediately rose, and a hot feeling surged in their chests.
Wang Huzi, Wu Liang, etc. are all veterans of the company. They follow Yang Nanzhen closely. They have never left Yang Nanzhen since they separated from Xia Yuan. Each of them has a machine gun.
Under the leadership of Nan Zhen, they rushed down from the top of the mountain.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In this way, the third company, plus the wounded, as well as the stragglers encountered on the road, more than two hundred people, marched quickly through the mountains and forests, from
From the top of the mountain to the ravine, he jumped to the top of the mountain again and jumped into the stream.
It was very dark, and the water flowed very fast. You could hear the sound of gunfire very clearly. Taking advantage of the darkness and unable to see the enemy planes, Yang Nanzhen led the soldiers through the ravine, and it was almost dawn.
At that time, soldiers from the engineering battalion of the 60th Army discovered them.
Yang Nanzhen knew that he had reached his own position and shouted: "We are from the machine gun company of the 1st Battalion of the 538th Regiment, and we have just broken out."
The independent battalion was appointed by Commander Zheng when the 180th Division was surrounded. He told the commander that no one might know about them. Xia Yuan also confessed in private that if Commander Zheng and his companions were not found, they would break through to the north and reach their own territory.
On the battlefield, never use the title of independent battalion.
One of the people from the engineer battalion said: "Okay, our deputy commander is blocking the enemy in front. You go quickly."
While they were talking, Deputy Commander Zha came. He was a thin man. After asking about the situation, he immediately took them back to the military headquarters.
Commander Wei and Political Commissar Yuan cordially received Yang Nanzhen and the others, and patiently listened to their reports, including Xia Yuan whom Yang Nanzhen met when he was surrounded, and the independent battalion number given to them by the division commander, including
Chang An Hengrun of the Second Company when parting at a fork in the road.
Later, Yang Nanzhen found out that An Hengrun and the others had encountered the enemy. Only half of the more than two hundred people had withdrawn. An Hengrun remained in the enemy's encirclement forever. Yang Nanzhen blamed himself. If he insisted on taking
They, maybe nothing will happen to An Hengrun.
Waiting is undoubtedly the most painful thing. Yang Nanzhen will look at the direction of the contact line every day, waiting for the arrival of the battalion commander.
The retreat process of the Third Company of the Independent Battalion was undoubtedly lucky.
After the 180th Division was disbanded and the organization was in complete chaos, various departments dispersed to break out, and many breakout troops encountered misfortune.
In an encounter in the middle of the night, Political Commissar Han of the 539th Regiment was separated from Commander Wang and Director Li of the Political Department. They did not receive the "completely light" notice, so they took various things with them on the way to retreat.
Finally, I brought out all the seals, maps, documents, etc. Of course, because of these things, after encountering the US military, I still had to take responsibility for these things, and my combat effectiveness was greatly reduced.
The encounter was very cruel. Once the enemy discovered them first and fired first, the casualties to the volunteers would be very high.
After the US soldiers discovered the breakout of the 539th Regiment, they fired several dense rows of mortar shells at them. The Korean political commissar and several soldiers were isolated next to a pile of rubble. Then the enemy fired at the two separated units.
Launched an attack.
"Commissar Han and the others were swept away, we must find them!"
Faced with the enemy's fierce attack, Commander Wang personally led his soldiers to stop the enemy. After the ammunition was more than half consumed, he decisively asked the soldiers to put on their bayonets and fight the American devils in hand-to-hand combat. The American devils were most afraid of hand-to-hand combat, so when Commander Wang went into battle, they fought hand-to-hand.
, stabbed an enemy to death, and after the morale of the soldiers was high, the US troops retreated.
"Looking, we must find Commissar Han and the others!"
Captain Wang was breathing heavily, and his body was so weak that he almost couldn't hold on. He held his gun on the ground to prevent him from falling to the ground.
Political Commissar Han was sitting on a rock with only five soldiers around him. Just now, his left leg was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet. The pain was extremely painful. He would definitely not be able to walk. With the five people carrying him, no one could escape.
Political Commissar Han repeatedly persuaded the soldiers around him to find their own route and break out of the encirclement quickly, leaving only a pistol and two grenades for him.
But the five people refused to let the political commissar stay. One of the soldiers even said: "If you leave the political commissar here, we won't go back. We will stay here to fight guerrillas and fight to the death. Anyway, we will have no shame to return to the regiment headquarters."
, when we go back, they all know that we lost the political commissar."
Political Commissar Han heard this and said: "You guys, if you don't carry out orders at critical moments, let's see how I deal with you in the future!"
At this time, another platoon of US troops came from a distance. As if they heard their voices, they swept over rows of bullets. The whizzing bullets hit the surrounding bushes and kept shaking. The young man who just spoke
The soldier was hit in the heart and died on the spot.
Political Commissar Han immediately ordered the five people to disperse. He endured the severe pain and raised his shell gun to fight back. The bullets hit the rocks intensively and spattered a string of sparks. The enemy was coming up and getting closer and closer to them. Political Commissar Han knew in his heart that if he didn't
Go, really no one can leave.
Political Commissar Han said eagerly: "Go quickly, go quickly, and execute the order!"
The soldiers shouted: "No! Political Commissar, we will not abandon you, we will die together!"
Political Commissar Han concluded in his mind that they would not listen to orders or persuasion now, so he pointed the shell gun at his temple. The four soldiers found that it was too late to seize his gun.
Political Commissar Han said hoarsely: "Listen to me, I really can't survive. You are still young. You must be a good soldier and protect our motherland! There are still many tasks waiting for you to complete in the future, comrades! Farewell!"
"
He immediately pulled the trigger, and there was a gunshot, and the blood was particularly dazzling.
"Commissar! Commissar!"
"Woooooooo..."
All four of them burst into tears.
In order to fulfill the Korean political commissar's last wish for them, the four soldiers threw three grenades at the US military and fought hard for a while. The four soldiers took advantage of the night to move away.
Political Commissar Han committed suicide in order not to fall into the hands of the enemy, but also to not hinder the four soldiers.
The Third Battalion of the 540th Regiment failed to break out and fought guerrillas with the American devils in the mountains for half a year.
The commander of the third battalion, whose surname is Han, is called Camp Commander Han. The fighting has reached this level, and there are not many people left in the third battalion. There is only one company commander and some soldiers left.
At this time, the Third Battalion had already run out of ammunition and food. Not to mention food, the entire division had been without food for several days. Even the division commander drank a lot of water and ate a small amount of wild vegetables to survive every day.
But even in the most difficult times, the soldiers of the third battalion still did not give up. They fought bravely and tenaciously even though the enemy was strong and we were weak. They ate wild vegetables and leaves along the way. They fought for three days and four nights, and in the battle
Replenishing ammunition, they broke through four enemy blockades and advanced one hundred kilometers.
Although the soldiers fought bravely and tenaciously, their mortal bodies could not withstand the long hours without eating or drinking. Many soldiers' physical strength could not keep up with the continuous fighting. More and more soldiers fell behind. Instructor Ren Zhenhua also died.
.
Wild vegetables and leaves are all over the mountains and fields, but they can only fill their stomachs and have no nutrients for them to consume during long-distance marches and battles. The casualties are heavy and the number of troops is reduced. Breaking out of the encirclement becomes increasingly impossible for large troops. Fighting in and out, and then retreating, it is impossible.
Can't break out of the enemy's encirclement.
That day, all the soldiers of the third battalion were hiding in the ravine. They were all dirty. Some of them had lost their hats and their faces were covered with dirt. One person picked a few leaves from a tree and put them in his mouth with his dark palms.
The white of the pupils becomes particularly conspicuous.
