On the afternoon of the 26th, the 38th Army and the 40th Army adjacent to the right launched an attack on the American enemy in front of them, occupied Sumin Cave to the east of the stadium, and launched an attack on the enemy in Xingxing Cave.
The 42nd Army on the left has occupied Ningyuan and is developing an attack in the direction of Beicang.
After the 38th Army surrounded Tokugawa on all sides, it intensified its siege against Tokugawa's enemies.
In order to focus on attacking the US military in the next step, the Battle of Tokugawa should not be delayed for a long time and must be fought quickly.
The headquarters of the 38th Army ordered each division to capture Tokugawa on the 26th.
The 112th Division also had to pull back and launch an attack on Tokugawa from the west.
The 335th Regiment was previously ordered to set up defenses in Yunsongli to prevent the enemies on the west side from moving to the east. The enemies on the west side were the attack targets of the 40th Army on the right. When the 40th Army attacked the front on the afternoon of the 26th,
When the enemy's U.S. forces launch an attack.
The U.S. military facing the enemy had to fight against the Forty Army and had no time to take care of the Tokugawa Puppet Seventh Division.
Therefore, the 38th Army was able to gather its forces and began to launch a fierce attack on Tokugawa from all directions in the afternoon.
In the direction of Matsushita, only one company of the 335th Regiment was left for defense, and the other troops assembled in the west of Tokugawa in the morning.
Since the enemy was advancing towards the Yalu River, and the volunteer army in front was "broken", the enemy did not intend to stay in Tokugawa for a long time, and even planned to advance towards the Yalu River. Therefore, the internal defense structure of Tokugawa was extremely crude.
Coupled with their combat effectiveness, their firepower is completely out of proportion to that of the US military.
When the encirclement narrowed, the enemy was defeated and disorganized, like a fish in a net trying to break through the fishing net and colliding randomly, completely fighting in a melee with the 38th Army.
Gunshots and cannon fire rang out from all directions.
"Grandma, it's a mess."
The third company that rushed forward also noticed something was wrong.
Before they even entered Tokugawa, the surroundings were already in chaos. A large number of fleeing enemies and the surrounding volunteers turned the entire Tokugawa into a pot of porridge.
Artillery fire, gunpowder smoke, bullets, and grenades were all intertwined.
On the outskirts of Tokugawa, the enemy dropped a large number of corpses and gathered towards the center of Tokugawa. The volunteers quickly occupied the outer positions of Tokugawa and narrowed the encirclement of Tokugawa.
The three companies fought for several hours, but did not enter Tokugawa in a big way. Tokugawa was a puppet military division. They only had one company. Entering Tokugawa at this moment was very dangerous.
Moreover, the superiors did not give the Third Company an order to pierce the enemy's abdomen. According to the superiors' orders, to capture Tokugawa, we must seize the time, but we must not be too anxious, and we cannot eat hot tofu in a hurry.
The encirclement was shrinking little by little, gradually swallowing up Tokugawa.
According to the superior's battle plan, it was planned to capture Tokugawa within one day.
At this moment, the enemies in Tokugawa were in chaos, and they knew exactly what was happening.
The volunteers surrounded them, and many soldiers felt incredible.
Just yesterday, they were dreaming of ending the Korean War, and the Americans gave them a mission to advance toward the Yalu River.
Today, the situation on the entire Korean battlefield has undergone a shocking reversal. In just one day, Tokugawa was surrounded by the enemy.
Many people don't even understand what happened.
The Third Company guarded a village in the west of Tokugawa, which was the outer position of Tokugawa. After a short half-day of fighting, they successfully captured the village and established a line of defense based on the village.
Tokugawa was just to the east of them, and billowing smoke rose around Tokugawa, permeating everywhere, and a pungent smell floated in the air.
Company Commander Sun and the commanders and fighters of the Third Company formed a temporary company headquarters in a room.
"Since entering the DPRK, many comrades have left us one after another. They are all excellent soldiers."
"And our steps cannot stop. The war has not been won yet, and the enemy has not been defeated yet."
"Even if more people die in the future, we will continue on this path."
"Not only for meritorious service, but also for our motherland. In the past few decades, we have encountered too many misfortunes. Now, with the founding of New China, days of peace have arrived and people live happily."
"But the flames of war are still burning. They are trying to destroy our happy life and burn the flames of war into our homes."
"We can't sit still and wait for death!"
At the Lian Zhi meeting, everyone gathered together and clenched their fists hard after listening to instructor Hu's words.
After several consecutive battles, each platoon suffered heavy casualties. It was not because of Xia Yuan's presence that the third company was invincible. The soldiers were still flesh and blood.
Moreover, the third company is the sharp knife and ace of the first battalion. The ace company must have strong combat effectiveness, heroic fighting style, and fearless spirit of sacrifice.
The soldiers cherish this hard-won honor very much and are willing to sacrifice their lives to safeguard the collective honor.
As a modern person, Xia Yuan was quite moved by such emotions.
This is not the first time that he has been moved by the fearless spirit of the soldiers. Even after experiencing it countless times, every time he truly integrates with them, this feeling will be inadvertently amplified.
The third company guarded the village, waiting for new tasks from superiors.
Tokugawa's gunfire did not extinguish, but intensified. The divisions did not stop attacking the Tokugawa positions, but the mission of the third company ended early, and other troops had not yet completely captured the enemy's positions.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, more than 1,800 puppet troops who attempted to break out came in like a tide along the Tokugawa and Sichuan Highways. They were attacked head-on by the troops defending the highway. The enemy was defeated and turned around and ran towards the west side of the highway.
They ran as hard as they could southward along the Datong River.
The enemies in the front fell into the river, and the enemies in the back scrambled to push them forward, just like dumplings.
The first and second squads led by Hou Zhengpei, the instructor of the 5th Company of the 336th Regiment, were responsible for guarding the river beach. They were on a high ground on the river beach when they saw the enemy jumping into the Datong River and felt that the enemy had entered their attack range.
Hou Zhengpei shouted: "Hit!"
Suddenly, bullets and grenades exploded among the enemy group. The enemies were fleeing in panic, but they were met with a hail of bullets, so they had to attack the fifth company position. As long as they captured the fifth company position, maybe they would have a chance to survive.
.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to better utilize their firepower, the soldiers stood up and shot at the enemy.
The machine gunner hung his gun around his neck and fired fiercely.
The enemy ran back and forth, attacking the position from both sides, and attacked five times in a row. It was not until dusk that the enemy stopped and hid in a mountain col.
A team of more than 40 Li Puppet Army members wanted to sneak past the Fifth Company's defense line at dusk. They were discovered by a combat team from the Second Squadron of the Fifth Company, and were intercepted and beaten by the three-person combat team.
After a while, the enemy's firepower weakened, and the liaison officer took the opportunity to shout, asking the enemies to put down their weapons.
In this battle, the 5th Company of the 336th Regiment fought very beautifully, especially the instructor Hou Zhengpei, who led 17 soldiers and achieved a great victory at the minimum cost, killing and wounding more than 220 enemy soldiers.
Since the enemy was on the offensive and had no fortifications to support, it was easy for the volunteers to launch attacks. In addition, the enemy's artillery positions were destroyed by the volunteers, making it impossible for the enemy to use artillery fire to cover and block the enemy.
This also allowed the attacking volunteer soldiers to successfully break through the enemy's defense line and stick to the enemy.
The enemy's planes were circling in the sky, and all they could do was panic. At this moment, Tokugawa had turned into a mess, and the entire situation in Tokugawa was in chaos.
Without the cover of artillery fire and aircraft, the enemy had already lost their morale and will to resist. They were frightened out of their wits and the entire front was in chaos.
At this moment, Tokugawa was like a dam that had burst, and the 'flood' of stragglers spread in all directions.
The enemy's skirmishers fled all over the mountains and fields, and the division commanders of some divisions were also confused with the enemy's skirmishers.
The 112th Division was located in a small village with several families, with mountains behind it.
Yang Dayi went to the first battalion of the 334th Regiment to organize an attack.
Assistant division commander Li Zhongxin was sitting cross-legged on the kang and was writing a battle report on the small kang table.
Suddenly, the phone rang. He picked up the phone and listened. It turned out to be a call from the line checker. The voice was very low:
"Deputy division commander, don't talk to me. Just listen. There is an enemy heading towards the house where you live..."
Li Zhongxin was stunned, and then the lame political commissar Li Jitai came in from the outside and confirmed the investigators' words.
When Li Jitai was returning from outside, his leg was injured by an enemy stray bullet.
"Where's the health worker? Quickly, bandage Lao Li." Li Zhongxin immediately went to call the health worker.
"Don't worry, Lao Li, hurry up and take the people to fight back now. The enemy has already entered the village." Li Jitai sat down on the kang and endured the pain.
Li Zhongxin had already sensed the crisis of the situation and couldn't care less. He ran outside the house and took a look. He heard a group of enemies chirping and walking towards them on the path outside the command post.
There were no soldiers in the command post, only a guard squad, which was guarding a US military prisoner. Faced with the crisis, Li Zhongxin remained calm and decisively ordered the guard squad to quickly seize the hill behind the house.
After waiting for the security squad to occupy the hilltop, he asked the bugler to blow the charge horn unique to the volunteers.
As the trumpet sounded in the village, he ran to the yard and fired a few shots into the dark night. The security squad on the hill behind the house also opened fire.
The originally peaceful village suddenly became chaotic, and the enemies who had come to the village to rest and hide were so frightened that they fled in a hurry without even having the courage to resist.
The 112th Division pointed out that encountering the enemy was not a rare thing. The enemies in Tokugawa were in a mess, unorganized and unorganized, and they were running around wildly.
As the Tokugawa enemy began to collapse, the third company stationed in the village was also attacked by enemy skirmishers.
In the dim night, a group of enemies took advantage of the cover of night and rushed towards the village where the Third Company was stationed. The first to discover this group of enemies was the fourth platoon stationed at the head of the village. Xiao Heping was on guard when he suddenly heard a noise in the distance.
The human voice made me feel uncomfortable.
Turning around, I saw a shadow coming over me: "Stop talking!"
"Platoon leader!"
"Shh!"
Xia Yuan sleeps relatively lightly and has the ability to identify locations by listening to sounds.
Hearing sound positioning can not only be used to identify directions, but as the skill level increases, his hearing has also improved considerably.
Hearing the enemy's movements, he woke up the entire platoon and asked Zhao Xiaoyi to notify the company commander.
The enemy came with such force that they did not notice the huge danger hidden in the dark village in front of them.
Soon, scattered enemies rushed over with noisy sounds. The Third Company was already prepared. The moment the enemies entered the village, they all opened fire, and a large number of enemies fell in the dark night.
"Go, take the prisoners! Don't let the enemy escape!"
Xia Yuan put away his gun and led four rows of soldiers into the enemy group.
At this moment, they were already in a melee with the enemy. When Xiao Heping saw the fleeing enemy and the abandoned car, he immediately ran over and got behind the car. As expected, he saw a lot of boxes piled up.
Two enemies of the Li Puppet Army were getting out of the car. Because it was too dark, the entire enemy and our teams were already in a melee, and it was difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. The two enemies jumped out of the car and started running without even looking.
"Run, I want to run!" Upon seeing this, Xiao Heping rushed forward, pounced and pinned an enemy under him, "Don't move!"
The enemy's gun had long been lost when he fled. At this moment, he was attacked by Xiao Heping. He shouted in fear and quickly raised his hands to indicate that he had no weapons.
"Ha, you dare to sneak attack our company's position without even having a weapon. You will risk your life!"
Xiao Heping was overjoyed and grabbed the prisoner from the ground.
Xia Yuan broke into the enemy group and turned on his night vision. He found that some of the skirmishers had weapons and some had no weapons. They were all running away towards the mountains, villages and fields. The whole scene was chaotic.
He also saw several tall American soldiers with epaulettes on their shoulders. Seeing that their official ranks were quite high, he pushed away a Li puppet soldier who was blocking him and rushed forward with a long stride.
These American troops were in panic, when suddenly a thin black shadow rushed over and knocked down one of their companions in twos and twos. They were shocked.
"Fuck! Fuck him!"
They carry weapons, but the surroundings are in chaos, including their people and enemies. It has become a mess.
They could only fight the enemy with their bare hands. Obviously, they underestimated the enemy. The thin figure rushed forward and punched the stomach. The American soldiers curled up in a ball and took a long time to recover.
Stock energy.
The first platoon, the second platoon, and the third platoon then joined the battle.
Translator Zhao, accompanied by several guards, used a loudspeaker to shout: "If you hand over your gun and don't kill, the Volunteers will treat the prisoners preferentially! If you hand over your gun but don't kill, the Volunteers will treat the prisoners!"
In the end, his voice was hoarse from shouting, but the effect was remarkable. In this battle, they captured more than 500 enemies in three companies.
The few U.S. troops Xia Yuan killed were the U.S. military advisory group of the Puppet Seventh Division, including a colonel advisor, a lieutenant colonel, six majors, and other accompanying personnel.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, with the support of 12 aircraft, the Tokugawa defenders once again broke out in three ways, all of which succeeded.
The fighting lasted until seven o'clock in the evening. Except for a few of the Tokugawa enemies who fled, most of them were annihilated.
This battle lasted for a whole day and night, advancing 50 to 70 kilometers, killing and wounding 1,041 enemies, capturing 2,087 enemies, capturing 156 guns of various types, 218 cars, and 33 radio stations. One enemy aircraft was also shot and damaged, and a US military adviser was captured.
8 people including the regiment colonel and commander.
