Chapter 18 Moving forward

Everyone hurriedly got out of the house and saw that the troops had gathered. There were many soldiers around who were hurriedly getting out of the surrounding houses and streets.

"Set off!"

When the troops were almost assembled, Captain Sun shouted and ran towards the south with his men.

"What's going on?"

Many people are confused.

Company Commander Sun told everyone while walking: "The American Japanese have escaped. We can't let them escape. We have to catch up."

After everyone heard this, they marched with all their strength.

After the enemies of Heecheon escaped, Zhisi ordered the 38th Army to quickly attack and advance in the direction of Xindong-ri, the stadium, and Gunyu-ri, and to make a detour to the enemy's side, cooperating with the 39th Army and the 40th Army to annihilate them.

Wenjing, the enemy in the Yunshan area, in order to open up North Korea's occupation, creating a favorable situation for continuing to annihilate the enemy.

At this point, the 38th Army embarked on continuous intense combat operations.

Along the way, towns and villages were burning, fireworks were filling the air, and the bodies of murdered people were scattered everywhere. The pungent smell of blood and burnt smell was everywhere along the way. The Korean people suffered unprecedented catastrophe.

The pursuit lasted the whole night, and there was a faint light in the sky in the distance. The regiment leader ordered the troops to rest along the mountains, forests, roads and fields.

Zhou Mao saw a house that was still in good condition, got in with his bedding in his arms, fell down and fell asleep. After running for a day and night, he was really tired. After falling down for a while, he started to snore.

It was daylight, and Zhou Mao stared blankly and squeezed his eyes. When he woke up, he found five corpses of Korean people who had been brutally killed with knives in the room. There were an old man in his seventies and a woman in her thirties.

, and teenage children, they are a family.

"Monitor, monitor."

Zhou Mao ran out in a hurry.

When everyone came in and took a look, they were shocked by the tragedy in front of them, and then their hearts were filled with anger.

Once upon a time, their country was like this, invaded wantonly by the enemy, and the enemy's bayonets were swung at the unarmed people.

Why did they rise up to resist? In addition to no longer suffering oppression and exploitation, the most important thing is to build a country full of peace.

This bloody fact made the wounds that had happened to them and almost healed aching, and increased the soldiers' hatred of U.S. imperialism.

At this time, although the enemy had noticed that the Chinese army had entered North Korea, they estimated that the strength of the Volunteer Army was seriously insufficient. In addition, many countries within the United Nations Army were sending symbolic troops, so they believed that the Volunteer Army was only a symbolic sending of tens of thousands of troops.

People, its purpose is just to protect the border.

Therefore, when Xichuan was attacked by the volunteers, the enemy adjusted their deployment and continued to attack the Yalu River frantically as if nothing was wrong.

MacArthur even made a bold statement that he would attack the Yalu River on Christmas Eve.

The enemy was so rampant that they did not pay attention to the volunteers at all. Zhisi discussed with Beijing and North and adopted the tactics of carrying out roundabout operations to the enemy's rear combined with frontal assaults. They concentrated their forces and annihilated the enemy forces in Yunshan, Taichuan, and Qingdao.

plan.

It also required the entire 38th Army and one division of the 42nd Army to cut off the enemy's retreat from the Qingchuan River. The other armies and divisions were required to penetrate behind the enemy's flanks, divide the enemy, and annihilate them one by one. In this way, the war will be won.

The head of the Thirty-Eighth Army felt that the Thirty-eighth Army had missed the battle in Xichuan and that this battle must be fought successfully. After deep thought, he decided that the 113th Division should still be the vanguard and perform the task of cutting off the enemy's retreat.

The 113th Division immediately set off after receiving the order.

After the Battle of Xichuan, Comrade Zhang Fu, who had just arrived at the Eighth Regiment, received an order to immediately return to the division to perform the task. After more than six hours of intense work in the division, he finally finished processing the backlog.

He was ordered to return to the Eighth Regiment.

Because at this time, the division had determined that the 338th Regiment would advance lightly and carry out the mission of returning to the south of Qichuan in a roundabout way. Although he was extremely sleepy and wanted to sleep for a few hours, in order to win the battle, he did not say anything.

He said, take your things and set off.

Seeing that he was exhausted, the division sent two correspondents to carry his things for him.

At that time, everyone in the division felt tired, but since they came into contact with the enemy in Xichuan, they had not completed the task of betraying the enemy. Everyone was very angry and exhausted their lives in search of fighter opportunities. They gritted their teeth and persisted, using two

The legs chase the enemy.

Everyone wants to catch up with the enemy, fight a good battle, and report victory to the motherland.

The commander of the 112th Division, whose surname was Yang and whose name was Dayi, was a rough guy, but he was thoughtful, brave and resourceful. He was even more courageous and ruthless in fighting. He led the 335th Regiment of the 112th Division's Vanguard Regiment to the 1st Vanguard Division.

The commander of the 113th Division was dissatisfied:

"What happened? Yang Dayi actually ran in front of me?"

The regiment chief of staff smiled and said: "Let them go in front. The army will let them dig new holes to cover you and insert them."

Although Comrade Jiang Chao was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to obey the orders of the army.

Now the 112th Division became the vanguard. The soldiers of the 3rd Company of the 335th Regiment who were leading the way saw nine empty houses in ten rooms. The flames of war were burning between the towns and the smoke covered half of the sky. They couldn't bear it anymore and asked for the first shot to be fired.

Revenge for the Korean people! Win glory for the Third Company!'

The soldiers were afraid of being deprived of combat missions by other companies, so they couldn't wait to arrive at the campsite, and each platoon elected representatives. Even the cooking class led by the elder Liu was not far behind. Everyone asked for battle, and Xiao Heping took the lead: "Squad leader,

Let me go and make sure you get the mission!"

So, Xiao Heping followed the representatives selected from each platoon to go to the battalion commander on Xingjun Road to ask for a fight.

"Battalion Commander, we have caught up with the enemy. We have to hand over the arduous task to our third company!"

The battalion commander looked at the active soldiers, feeling happy and gratified, "The most difficult task now is to bite the enemy! If you catch the enemy, you will fight the battle!"

On the night of October 30th, there was heavy snowfall, and the earth was in chaos.

This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The soldiers of the 3rd Company of the 335th Regiment chased the enemy to Huaping Station on the bank of the Qingchuan River. This place was destroyed by the enemy and there were ruins in front of them. No more

There was less than a single North Korean citizen, and most of them had fled to the north.

At this moment, they finally caught up with the retreating enemy. A battalion of enemies occupied the Jiangnan beachhead to cover the retreat of the Puppet Sixth Division.

Before we even got close to the riverside, we heard the roar of artillery fire. Standing on a hillside in the distance, we could see the flickering lights of the riverside ferry.

Translator Zhao Ruilong saw such a scene for the first time. His whole body tensed up. Captain Sun shouted: "Big Liu, come here. Your cooking team is protecting Translator Zhao. Others, follow me."

After saying this, Captain Sun and his men began to rush down the mountain.

"Translator Zhao, you will follow us later." Old Liu said with concern, "Xiao Heping, Zhou Mao, Xia Yuan, you three, watch and see if you hear me."

"yes!"

Three people responded.

Xia Yuan looked at the riverside and listened to Xiao Heping's muttering: "Grandma, the American devils are really rich. Our people haven't even arrived yet, and the American devils' cannons have started firing."

Zhou Mao responded breathlessly while running: "Just wait, when we become stronger, the guns will be free of charge."

The Qingchuan River was waist-deep and could be forded. Company Commander Sun would not give the enemy a chance to breathe. He ordered the machine gunner Chen Shoulu of the third platoon to set up the heavy machine gun on the river beach. Under the cover of machine gun fire, the soldiers of the third company did not bother to take off their cotton-padded clothes.

They jumped into the water one after another and rushed to cross the river.

The snow was falling heavily and the river was bitingly cold, but it could not erode the hot hearts of the soldiers.

Even though the cold river water made the soldiers of the Third Company shiver with cold and their teeth chattered, the soldiers held their guns in both hands and trudged forward in the turbulent river water caused by the artillery fire.

As soon as the team arrived at the center of the river, the enemy suddenly opened fire, and bullets rained down in the river. Some soldiers were injured and fell down, but they did not stop. They gritted their teeth and rushed over in one breath. Under the cover of the machine gunners in the rear, they lay down in the cold.

Shooting at the enemy's beachhead on the dry and hard riverside mud.

The uninjured soldier held his gun and charged towards the enemy's machine gun fire point. When he was close to the enemy's fire point, his body slid towards the ground, his elbow resting on the cold earth, and he crawled forward quickly, not slowing down at all. Some soldiers were very agile.

It is agile and can overcome enemy obstacles in one go. It is as fast as lightning, as if it is flying close to the ground.

The enemy had never seen such a desperate team. They were so frightened that they fled in panic and were pinned on the Nanshan Mountain of Xingxing Cave.

Snowflakes were still falling. After taking the beachhead, the troops stopped and stood by. The soldiers' clothes were soaked by the river water. In just a short time, their cotton pants and shoes were covered with a thin layer of ice, and the cold clothes and pants clung to them.

Their skin was scratched, and the soldiers were so cold that they were shaking all over and their teeth were chattering.

The backs of their cotton-padded jackets soaked with sweat were also covered in frost. They squatted in the shell crater, some stamping their feet to keep warm, and some rubbing their hands.

It was too cold, there was no sleepiness at all, no one spoke, only the sound of teeth clashing was heard, everyone was quietly waiting for the new combat mission.

I don't know who shouted: "The company commander is back!"

The soldiers jumped up excitedly and asked the company commander what new combat mission he had brought back.

After Captain Sun secured the beachhead, he went to the battalion commander to receive a new combat mission. With a smile on his face, he boldly announced: "Drive out the enemies in Nanshan, control the position, and cover the roundabout troops crossing the river!"

When the soldiers heard this, they were very happy and did not feel the cold weather. They shouted, checked their ammunition, packed up their weapons and equipment, and prepared to continue fighting the enemy.

Seeing that the fighting morale of the soldiers was so high, Captain Sun waved his hand and asked instructor Hu to inform the elder Liu later that after the war, he would get some canned foreign meat and cook some hot broth for the soldiers to drink and warm themselves up.

.

When the soldiers heard this, their fighting enthusiasm became even higher, and they all asked Captain Sun to quickly give orders. They would drink broth after the enemies in Nanshan were beaten away.

Company Commander Sun and his men continued to move forward.

"Boy, are you cold?"

Machine gunner Chen Shoulu, who accompanied the soldiers of the machine gun team and carried a heavy machine gun, saw Xia Yuan staring at them when they were crossing the river. He couldn't help but smile and asked.

"It's okay, are you cold?"

"It's cold, why isn't it cold?"

Chen Shoulu felt his teeth chattering and said with a smile: "Want to go to the front line?"

Xia Yuan nodded, and Chen Shoulu said: "Go to the instructor and tell him that if you have made meritorious service, you will definitely be sent to the front line."

"I hope so."

Elder Liu took the cooking squad and accompanied the soldiers of the machine gunner combat group across the river. When he saw instructor Hu and several soldiers cleaning the beachhead position by the river, Elder Liu asked: "Instructor, where are the company commander and the others?"

"We're on a mission." Instructor Hu said with a smile: "Look, these weapons and equipment are all just captured by us. The soldiers have won the battle. I'm happy. The company commander asked you to get some canned meat and cook some broth to drink.

.”

With smokeless stoves, soldiers do not need to drink cold water or eat cold meals. The cooking squad follows the company in the rear and can dig smokeless stoves anytime and anywhere.

"The canned meat has been prepared for you. Don't tell me, these American devils are really rich. Look at these cans. They all look fresh." Instructor Hu asked the soldiers to bring two cartons, opened the cartons, and used the artillery fire to flash them.

Under the firelight, the metallic-colored cans were neatly placed in the box.

When the elder Liu heard that the soldiers had won the battle, he smiled and Xia Yuan and the others put away the canned meat, and said happily: "Well, let's make sure the soldiers have hot meals."

Listening to the rumbling sound of artillery, Xia Yuan felt his hands were a little itchy and chased the instructor: "Instructor, I also want to go to the front line!"

Instructor Hu took a military coat and put it on Zhao Ruilong. Hearing Xia Yuan's words, he shook his head and said: "You have never participated in a war in this field, so stay in the cooking class for now."

With that said, he took out another military coat and threw it to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan handed the military coat to instructor Hu and said, "Instructor, I'm not cold. Give the military coat to the injured soldier."

"Hey, you're such a digger." Instructor Hu looked at Xia Yuan running away and smiled helplessly.

Seeing this, Zhao Ruilong took off his military coat and said, "Instructor Hu, give the coat to the injured. I can still bear it."

Instructor Hu said helplessly: "Here comes another head digger."

Just as the soldiers were pursuing victory, the eight scattered vanguard regiments of the 113th Division, which was on a roundabout mission, passed through Xingxing Cave. However, the enemies scattered in Nanshan turned back, reoccupied the position, and blocked the road with volleys of artillery.

The 337th Regiment and the 339th Regiment were blocked here and could not follow up with the 338th Regiment.

Commander Jiang of the 113th Division was anxious and restless. If he was delayed here for a whole day, he would have delayed his opportunity to fight and needed to take a detour.

The military staff officer arrived at the front of the 112th Division early. When he heard that the 335th Regiment had captured Xindongli, he immediately set off for the 335th Regiment command post. The regiment leader Fan Tianen quickly reported the situation to the commander.

"We used two battalions of troops last night and attacked several times but could not defeat them."

Fan Tianen has always resolutely implemented orders from his superiors.

However, their regiment only knew how to attack and advance, and did not know that the 38th Army also had the task of detouring the enemy, so it was not able to deal with the enemies in the new cave as quickly as possible. In order to ensure that the main force quickly carried out the detour mission, it accelerated the elimination of the current enemy.

, the leader asked the 335th Regiment to use the reserve battalion and assemble the strength of the entire regiment. The three battalions cooperated closely and launched a fierce attack on the enemy in Xindongli.
