The troops have arrived at the designated position.
The lights in the military command were brightly lit all night. For several days, the military chiefs were in a highly concentrated state, constantly understanding the enemy's situation, judging the situation, and adjusting deployment.
In order to fight this battle successfully, everyone was busy day and night without getting any rest.
Comrade Liang's face became thinner, and the dark circles under his eyes were thick. His bloodshot eyes were staring at the map closely. When he was hungry, he would grab a few soybeans and chew them.
These days, in order to grasp the enemy situation in front of them, the military headquarters ordered all levels of battalions and above that were confronting the enemy to set up observation posts to conduct on-the-spot field observations. They also organized elite squads to capture prisoners at night and investigate the enemy situation on the terrain. They were able to determine the location of Mingpodong and New
The line between Pingli and Yangliufeng is the dividing line between the Pseudo Seventh Division and the Pseudo Eighth Division.
It was found out that there was a bridge under the water at Xinpingli Ferry on the Datong River that could be crossed on foot, creating favorable conditions for the 38th Army to intersperse and encircle the enemy in roundabouts.
In order to effectively fight this battle, Comrade Liang proposed to send a reconnaissance force to go deep behind enemy lines to find out the truth.
The members must go through detailed discussions.
Comrade Liang thought of the small soldiers of the 335th Regiment who had made great contributions a few days ago. They went out to capture prisoners twice in a row. The effect was incredible. The number of prisoners captured reached 72. This was just two nights of capturing enemy prisoners.
The results are incredible when you think about it.
This little soldier has rich experience in penetrating behind enemy lines.
However, his combat ability is also quite powerful, his bomb delivery distance is long and accurate, his shooting level is beyond the reach of all soldiers in the army, and his performance on the battlefield is also quite impressive, with so many treacherous enemies that no one can imagine.
Therefore, this poses a difficult problem for Comrade Liang.
Comrade Han learned about this situation and said: "The military reconnaissance company can also do the task of penetrating behind enemy lines, but it is not possible for everyone to destroy the enemy's machine gun bunker with a rifle."
Comrade Liang nodded to show that he understood.
A good knife is used on the edge. Even though this little soldier has strong reconnaissance capabilities, in comparison, the upcoming offensive against Tokugawa is crucial. If he can knock out the enemy's machine gun during the offensive
Bunkers and firepower points will create more favorable offensive conditions for the attacking troops.
Obviously, the role of this little soldier on the battlefield is much greater than that of detecting the enemy's situation.
After discussion, it was decided to form an advance team with the Army Reconnaissance Company and the 113th Division Reconnaissance Company, and insert themselves behind enemy lines from the junction between the Puppet 7th Division and the Puppet 8th Division to further understand the situation and the path of destruction.
After careful consideration, we formulated a battle plan to annihilate the Tokugawa enemies. We decided to penetrate behind enemy lines from the enemy's joint point, surround and annihilate the Seventh Puppet Division assembled in Tokugawa, and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Because the east of Tokugawa is the position of the 42nd Army, the 113th Division was ordered to set off from the current location at 17:00 on the 25th, pass through the east of Tokugawa and insert into the north and south of Zheliling south of Tokugawa to cut off the enemy's rear.
road, and then attacked Tokugawa from the south.
The 112th Division was ordered to set off from the current location on the 25th, pass through the west of Tokugawa and insert into Unsong-ri, and then attack Tokugawa from the west.
The 114th Division was ordered to set off from the current location at 20:00 on the 25th and attack Tokugawa from the front.
Comrade Liang drew a circle around Tokugawa on the map with a pen, firmly enclosing the Puppet Seventh Division in the middle. Then he put down the pencil and said firmly: "Kill them completely!"
In order to effectively fight this battle, in addition to the fact that the 112th Division was stationed far away and communicated by telegraph, Comrade Liang directly summoned the commanders of the 113th Division and the 114th Division to the military command to convey the combat mission in person and dispatch
The military staff officer and deputy director went to the 113th Division and the 114th Division to participate in the command!
...
Thanksgiving is a traditional holiday in the United States, which originated in 1621.
After the British colony of Plymouth in North America had a good harvest that year, they held a celebration to thank God for giving them a good harvest.
Later, it gradually became a national holiday, but the date changed frequently.
In 1941, the fourth week of November was designated as Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving Day in 1950 was definitely an extraordinary day for MacArthur. He had a Thanksgiving dinner with his family at the U.S. Embassy in Tokyo in a very happy mood.
The U.S. troops on the Korean battlefield also had a hearty meal. This was the most delicious meal for them, because in their imagination, they would soon occupy all of Korea, end the war, and reunite with their relatives at home.
At this time, the U.S. Second Division had arrived at the foot of Maoxiang Mountain, Langhu Ridge, and Jingude Mountain in the area where the volunteers were waiting to attack.
On tanks and helicopters, they publicly played the music of marching to the Yalu River, and the propaganda materials "The Korean War Ends on Christmas" were mixed with snowflakes and scattered on the Korean battlefield.
However, 'Thanksgiving' did not bring the joy of war to General MacArthur, nor did it bring good news to American officers and soldiers.
Just when they were getting carried away and full of hope of ending the Korean War, the volunteers broke through the defense lines of the Li puppet army in one fell swoop and launched an annihilating attack into the deep hinterland of the US military, Tokugawa.
God did not bless the devout believers, but brought bad luck to the American and Li puppet troops.
In attacking Tokugawa, the Thirty-eighth Army adopted the tactics of advancing far first and then advancing on the flanks, then flanking and then attacking frontally, and gradually formed an encirclement of Tokugawa.
The main force of the 112th Division took turns fighting the enemy. After completing the task of luring the enemy deep, they did not get much rest time. That is, they set off from Zhongcao Cave and Dumen Cave at 16:30 on the 25th and climbed over the 1,200-meter-high Brother Peak overnight.
Encircled Tokugawa in a roundabout way.
Because the telegram was received in such a hurry, the instructors of each company had to march and mobilize at the same time.
The third company is the trump card of the first battalion, and it is also the sharp knife. The third company is at the forefront of the team.
When the troops were climbing the mountain, the third company commander and instructor Hu ran from the end of the platoon to the front of the platoon, mobilizing class by class.
"The purpose of climbing a mountain is to surprise the enemy. As long as we climb over it, we will win!"
"Tokugawa's enemies let it go last time, but this time they can't let it go no matter what. We must avenge our shame!"
"The purpose of climbing a mountain is to achieve meritorious service. If we climb this mountain, we will have achieved great meritorious service!"
Xia Yuan was not idle either. He took Xiao Heping, Zhou Mao, and Zhao Xiaoyi around each class, asking the soldiers what they thought of the battle and observing their emotions.
The soldiers were full of emotions and enthusiasm, and asked Xia Yuan to fight one after another. When they got behind the enemy, they asked them to do sharp knife classes.
The battalion headquarters arranged female nurses for them. The Third Company, as a sharp knife, would resist the enemy's most violent attack. Casualties were bound to occur. On the way, Feng Yuxiang brought the female nurse Zhang Fuying to the Third Company and hurriedly sent the female nurse Zhang Fuying to the hospital.
Arranged to join the third company.
When climbing the snowy mountain, Zhang Fuying was on vacation and felt very uncomfortable. Halfway up the mountain, she couldn't breathe. She fell down after taking a few steps and fainted several times. However, she was never willing to show weakness in front of gay men.
.
Like every march, not only did I keep up with the team, but I also encouraged the weak comrades not to fall back and united the soldiers to complete the marching mission.
Captain Sun sighed: "What a strong female warrior!"
Zhang Fuying raised her chin: "Don't underestimate women, who says women are inferior to men!"
Zhang Fuying used her actions, strong will, and perseverance to subtly influence the soldiers of the third company. The weak soldiers did not want to be looked down upon by female comrades, so they insisted on giving it a try.
Zhang Fuying held on to climb the snow-capped mountains, and so did they.
Zhang Fuying quickened his pace, and they also quickened their pace.
Gritting your teeth, clenching your fists, and carrying ammunition and rifles, you have to endure it.
Under such influence, the entire company's soldiers twisted into a hemp rope and were full of energy.
The road downhill was not easy to walk either. Cadres and soldiers carried cooking pots, heavy machine guns, recoilless rifles, and bazookas, holding machine guns and sliding down the ice slope from top to bottom. Although everyone fell
Even though my nose was bruised and my face was swollen, I still laughed happily.
"It's so fun to slide around!"
This kind of emotion infects every soldier who participates.
Because what they are thinking about now is not hardship, but fighting for a great victory, striving to create a heroic army, everyone becoming a hero, and making international contributions!
There is still nearly a kilometer away from the bottom of the mountain, and the entire division is hidden in the dense forest and on standby.
There is a road at the bottom of the mountain, right next to the enemy's position. Before the operation, the troops were given orders not to light fires or make noise. The entire ridge was silent, and the cold wind howled and picked up the white snow, flying everywhere.
The cold wind is biting and makes people shiver.
Yang Dayi, commander of the 112th Division, was observing from the front with the reconnaissance troops. His temporary command position was behind a large rock, where a telephone was set up and directly connected to the command posts of each regiment.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the telegram came, ordering them to set off immediately and move towards the predetermined target.
It only took him four minutes to complete the order to each regiment.
He was worried that the troops would be obsessed with fighting on the road, wasting time, and not being able to reach the designated location by the army, so he issued a death order to each regiment early:
"When encountering the enemy, only a few people are keeping an eye on it, and a large force rushes in. Whoever loves to fight and wastes time and delays the victory, come to me with your head raised!"
Last time, I suffered the loss of fighting and missed the opportunity to annihilate a large number of enemies.
The meeting held by the military department focused on this point, and Comrade Yang still remembers it.
It is said that the 7th Puppetry Division and the 25th U.S. Division in the west, the juncture of the Turkish Brigade, relied on each other, but the defense was not tight. The 112th Division advanced smoothly from here.
The bright moon hangs high, and the silver shines thousands of miles away.
In just an instant, the roar of artillery tore through the tranquility between heaven and earth. The sound of gunfire suddenly became fierce. Tracer bullets danced and swayed in the night sky. Bright illumination bombs rose up in all directions of Tokugawa.
The entire Tokugawa River shines like daylight.
The soldiers lying in the snow looked up at the silvery full moon. Everyone had a premonition that a battle that shocked the whole world was about to break out.
"Which unit are you fighting?"
"have no idea."
"They should be the troops fighting the enemy head-on."
"We haven't reached attack time yet."
"I'm a little nervous."
"Don't be nervous, just do it as usual."
The soldiers of the third company whispered to each other.
The rumbling sound of cannons tore apart the tranquility of the night.
The illumination flares complement each other and illuminate the entire Tokugawa River beautifully.
The soldiers of the 112th Division could clearly hear the sound of artillery shells flying overhead. They were fired from their position and then exploded far behind them. They had already inserted themselves behind the enemy.
At this moment, a swarm of car lights came on on the road about a kilometer away from them.
"The enemy is coming!"
"Have we been discovered?"
All the soldiers were shocked. Before it was time to attack, the enemy's convoy arrived.
The team suddenly became nervous.
"Calm down and wait for orders! No shooting is allowed without orders!"
Captain Sun was also confused and could only wait for orders.
"Company Commander, orders from superiors, we may be exposed, open fire on our own!"
The investigators brought orders from the rear.
The atmosphere suddenly became more tense and even a bit frozen. Everyone did not dare to breathe and held their guns hard.
"beat!"
When the enemy's car approached them, Captain Sun shouted.
The soldiers all threw the grenades, landed on the road, and exploded in an instant.
The grenade thrown by Xia Yuan was extremely accurate. It exploded instantly when it landed on the enemy's jeep. The jeep lost control and rushed out of the field.
The enemy convoy on the road was already in chaos. The grenades thrown by the soldiers killed many enemies. The remaining enemies had weak resistance. Captain Sun blew the whistle for the attack.
"superior!"
The soldiers rushed out from the field and rushed into the enemy group. This group of enemies was quickly captured by the third company.
"Platoon commander, look!"
Cleaning the battlefield, Xiao Heping called out in great surprise.
Xia Yuan took a closer look and saw that the enemy's truck actually contained live chickens. After experiencing the explosion and gunfire just now, the live chickens in the car clucked and squealed.
"Damn it, the enemy is going to improve his life."
Zhou Mao cursed, these live chickens must have been stolen from the Korean people by the enemy.
"Pack it up and send it to the rear." Xia Yuan These things can improve the soldiers' food, not to mention that they captured them from the enemy.
"Why!"
Several people put the live chickens in bags and asked Zhao Xiaoyi to take them to the rear.
After the battlefield was cleared, the Third Company continued its work.
The 112th Division had already begun to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's position from behind. The sound of guns and artillery was rumbling, and the flares in the distance were shining brightly.
They didn't stop and continued to move forward.
Ahead is Unsong-ri west of Tokugawa, which is the only way for the Puppet Seventh Division to escape. The goal of the 112th Division is exactly here.
Capture Yunsongli and cut off the escape route of the Puppet Seventh Division.
When the Third Company approached the enemy's position, they saw that enemy artillery shells continued to fall on the mountainous fields, and under the illumination of the flares, jet-black flowers bloomed.
"superior!"
The horn for the attack of the soldiers of the third company sounded.
As the Sharp Knife Company of the 335th Regiment, they are the most critical link in this battle.
The third company's ability to attack critical areas is among the best in the entire 112th Division. This is all due to Xia Yuan's strong individual combat ability and the huge replenishment of the weapons and ammunition of the third company. The soldiers have no shortage of ammunition and food.
When the trumpet blows.
Four platoons launched an attack on the enemy in Yunsongli from the front.
The battalions of the 335th Regiment also entered on the flank.
Other groups entered from behind.
The enemy in Yunsongli was alerted, and illumination bombs were launched from Yunsongli. In an instant, the silhouettes of the attacking soldiers were exposed to the illumination bombs.
Xia Yuan once again witnessed such a spectacular scene.
