Chapter 85 I feel sorry for the people of my motherland. I died before I could defeat the American Japanese.
Wu Qianli held the Sten submachine gun and moved quickly to one side. The bullets from the submachine gun jingled at the US armored vehicle, sending out a large string of sparks. He shouted loudly: "Yu Congrong, cover Xia Yuan!"
Yu Congrong stared with eyes as big as cowbells, with no expression on his dark face, "Xia Yuan, kill these idiots!"
Interspersed in such a position that was illuminated by flares like daylight, especially when the US military was equipped with large-caliber weapons, once discovered, the consequences would be obvious. The US military summoned a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, which of course withstood the attack of the 7th Intersecting Company.
, which invisibly reduces the pressure on other fronts.
If the seventh intersecting company can not only withstand it, but also tear it apart, then the U.S. troops in Xinxingli will be shot through by them and will have no ability to organize tomorrow's evacuation. In the end, they can only be annihilated by the volunteer soldiers.
Xinxingli.
The U.S. military's actions against the 7th Intersection Company were not only tanks and armored vehicles, but also a large number of infantrymen surrounded the 7th Intersection Company from the left and right sides in an attempt to eliminate the 7th Intersection Company here.
Xia Yuan glanced around. At this moment, the flares in the sky suddenly went out. As the flares went out, the whole world fell into darkness. He raised his head and glanced, realizing that his opportunity had come, and quickly jumped from the broken fragments.
The ruins of the wall were turned inside out, and he quickly rushed forward regardless of whether the American soldiers in front could see it.
The extinguishment of the flares caused a bit of panic in the US military, and also gave other volunteer soldiers an opportunity. They took advantage of the sudden darkness and rushed towards the enemy's position quickly, constantly throwing grenades at the US position.
When grenades and artillery shells explode, you rarely see the light of fire. You can only see the black soil rolled up by the explosion and thrown into the sky. The ground seems to have been plowed with a rake, and the snow falling on it is also very heavy.
It was about to melt. There was a strong smell of gunpowder smoke in the cold air, and there were gunshots and cannons everywhere. On the way to the charge, bullets shot through the head from time to time, and I was almost hit several times.
He hid in the bunker with the gun in his hand, calmed down, and quickly glanced at the US military. Through night vision, he saw in the distance that the US military's top soldiers were loading flares for illumination on the gun heads.
The night is a good disguise. Xia Yuan knew this very well. He quickly picked up the big eight pills, took aim and pulled the trigger. The soldier with the flare tilted his head and fell to the ground. His companions beside him were startled and stretched out their hands.
He went to grab the flare on the ground. The next moment, his head seemed to have been hit hard by something. He didn't even feel the pain, so he lay down on the ground.
"The longest a flare can last is two minutes, and the shortest it can last tens of seconds. The U.S. military consumes such a large amount of flares. When the flares are used up, they will die faster. And now is the opportunity for the volunteers to counterattack."
Xia Yuan raised his head and looked at the flare in the distance. It gradually flickered out and fell down after about thirty seconds. Not long after, another flare lit up over there, and the shining flare illuminated the entire battlefield.
The peripheral vision also illuminated the battlefield on their side.
During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, the U.S. military continued to use the parachute-type illuminated signal grenade developed before and after World War II. During this period, the U.S. military used the M17A1 white parachute-type illuminated signal grenade, which can be fired from the M1 rifle and M1 carbine. The actual burning time is
Between 20-30 seconds,
During this period, illumination bombs were almost deployed by individual soldiers, but the quantity was limited. Many U.S. troops did not control the launch time of illumination bombs, which often resulted in one, two or even multiple illumination bombs being launched into the air at the same time. Illuminating bombs not only exposed the enemy's position
, and at the same time, one's own position will be exposed.
The most critical point is that the U.S. military in the early days of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was in contact with volunteers for the first time, especially the 1st U.S. Marine Division. Therefore, the U.S. military during this period was far from sufficient in terms of stockpiles of flares and knowledge of night battles.
Therefore, since the battle, the flares rising in the sky are far less bright than the several flares rising in the sky at the same time when the battle just started, which illustrates a problem.
"The enemy's reserve of flares is insufficient!"
The fighter plane was not to be missed. As he was moving, he kept staring at the American soldiers firing flares and shooting them. The deaths of several soldiers made other top soldiers panic. It was too dark and snowing, and volunteers could be seen shooting everywhere.
When they fired at the flame mouth, the person was gone.
The more panicked the US military became, the more capable the volunteers became. Night fighting is the strength of the volunteers, not to mention Xia Yuan, who has night vision. With the power of night vision, he quickly approached the US military position and hid in a dark corner. Xia Yuan came from
He took out a grenade from his waist, rang it and threw it. The grenade, which emitted white smoke, passed through the dark night and exploded above the US armored vehicle. Broken shrapnel flew everywhere. The driver who controlled the cannon died on the spot.
He didn't have many grenades on him anymore, so he simply threw them all at the US military.
The grenades landed very accurately in the sky behind the US tank and exploded. The violent explosion shocked the US troops and fled. Once the US troops left the tank, he quickly opened fire and emptied the large eight-grain magazine.
He quickly left this position. As soon as he left, American artillery fired over and destroyed the bunker he had just been hiding in.
Xia Yuan broke through the enemy's armored vehicle and had been detected by the rear. The armored vehicle that was still spitting out flames misfired. Wu Qianli hid behind the bunker with a gun in his hand and looked around. When his eyes lit up, he immediately blew the whistle for attack. Seven people in charge of the frontal battlefield
Even the soldiers jumped out of the bunker one after another.
This time, God did not favor the US military again. With the help of night cover, the soldiers of the Seventh Company brought their individual soldier skills to the extreme, intersecting cover and flanking. The tanks and armored vehicles of the US military were blown up by the volunteer soldiers with explosive packs and cluster grenades.
The American soldiers in the tank only saw the dark outside through the periscope, and with a loud noise that shocked the valley, the tank disappeared.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xia Yuan held the big eight pills and carried the last two grenades, and quickly seized the firepower of the US military. He rushed into the bunker and fired several rounds at the dying US troops in the bunker.
He took the grenades off their bodies and continued charging into Xingxing.
Night vision provided sight, and calmness kept the brain awake. He very calmly bypassed the enemy's fire points and threw the grenades one by one. The big eight grenades in his hand continued to eliminate the big soldiers that appeared in the field of vision. There were American troops everywhere.
's cry.
Up to this point in the battle, the enemies on the front battlefield of the 7th Interpenetrating Company are obviously in confusion.
Wu Qianli made a prompt decision and organized three platoons of soldiers to start expanding the results. They had already intervened, and continuing to expand the results was the most correct choice at the moment. Without the suppression of heavy firepower such as tanks and armored vehicles, the soldiers of the Seventh Company became more and more brave as they fought.
.
It was chaos, everything was chaos, and the entire US military position fell into chaos again.
At this time, the 238th Regiment, the 239th Regiment, the 240th Regiment, and the 241st Regiment successfully broke through the enemy's forward positions. With the sound of killing, the volunteer soldiers penetrated into the U.S. trenches and fired several shots at the U.S. troops in the trenches.
The blasting cannon demolition team quickly rushed to the US tank and stuffed the blasting canister under the chassis of the tank. Covered by machine guns, they jumped forward alternately. The US military positions were filled with groups of three or three volunteers, picking up equipment, touching grenades, and passing by.
There is a trench. Throw a grenade into it first. When no one shows up, rush over directly. The people behind you will be responsible for covering fire.
The U.S. military's layout in Xingxing Village collapsed across the board. The 7th Intermediate Company was like a sharp blade piercing into the heart of Xingxing Village.
Step forward, eliminate the injured US troops, quickly occupy the firepower point, and control the heavy machine gun on the firepower point to suppress the US military. The bullets will be exhausted, and quickly slide down from the firepower point. Reload the big eight bullets that have emptied the magazine, and will
The firepower point of the US military on the side was destroyed, and the grenade taken from the corpse of the US military was pulled away and a grenade was thrown over, and so on.
With the explosion of the grenade, Xia Yuan easily pulled out a firepower point established by the enemy.
Xia Yuan pursed his lips and turned around to look. The soldiers of the Seventh Company had already rushed forward. They had blown up the US tanks and armored vehicles. They were carrying weapons seized from the US troops and heading straight towards the central position of the US military.
Further inside is the U.S. artillery position and the location of its command post. The low morale of the U.S. military and the volunteers who became more and more courageous in the Vietnam War formed a sharp contrast. The loss of the U.S. military in the southwest quickly spread to the entire U.S. military in Xinxing.
Even though the few remaining U.S. troops had some heavy firepower, facing the menacing volunteers, at this moment, the inner persistence of some of the top soldiers began to waver.
After Xia Yuan took away the bullets and grenades from the corpse, he followed the soldiers of the 7th Company to charge towards the center of the US military.
The results of the Seventh Company's victory quickly spread to the entire Xinxingli. After the Seventh Company withstood the powerful firepower of the US military, the main forces of other regiments tore through the last barrier of the US military and rushed into the center of Xinxingli.
By five o'clock in the morning, the volunteers had completely broken through the US military's defense line, smashing the so-called ring defense tactics into pieces. However, the US military was still resisting tenaciously. At this critical moment, dawn broke.
Unfortunately, God was not on the side of the US military this time. In the early morning of December 1, heavy fog arose and the sky was overcast. US aircraft were unable to reinforce the US military in Xingxingri.
The commander of the 80th Division was overjoyed and ordered his troops to annihilate the US troops in Xingxingli!
At 8 a.m., volunteer soldiers rushed into the U.S. artillery position.
At nine o'clock, the volunteers cleared out the remaining enemy troops.
At ten o'clock, the fighting in Xinxingli ended.
Summary after the war, on the night of the 27th, the Volunteer Army greatly eliminated the effective strength of the US military in Xinxingli, laying a solid foundation for the annihilation war on the 30th day and night. Secondly, the Volunteer Army soldiers dared to fight, fought bravely, were brave and tenacious, were not afraid of sacrifice, and faced difficulties.
and fought against the U.S. military with tenacious fighting will.
The Xinxingli battle completely annihilated the 31st regimental combat team of the US 7th Division, wiping out more than 4,000 US troops. This greatly frustrated the US military's vigor and gave MacArthur a big mouth.
Although the battle in Xingxingli is over, the battles in Liutangli, Hajieyuli, and Gutuli are still continuing. The commander-in-chief of the Ninth Corps ordered the troops in the direction of Xingxingli to quickly rush to Hajieyuli after a short rest.
inside.
On the morning of December 1, the enemies in Liudam gathered and began to cross the river. By 13:00, all the U.S. troops in Liudam had moved to Huansui. However, the deployment of our army had not yet been completed. As mentioned before, during the day,
U.S. military aircraft have been flying in the sky, preventing our army from gathering in large numbers. The pressure to block the U.S. military falls entirely on the 59th Division of the 20th Army. The task of the 59th Division of the 20th Army at the beginning of the general offensive is to cut off Yudam-ri to Hagaryu.
Now that the U.S. troops in Liudam have begun to retreat, the pressure on the 59th Division of the 20th Army has suddenly intensified. They must block the enemy on the way to retreat and give the rear troops time to pursue.
The pressure lies on Highland 1419.2. Highland 1419.2 is a highland on the road from Liutanli to Hajieyuli. It is also the only way for the US military to retreat. Its location is no less important than Death Eagle Ridge. Occupy
At Highland 1419.2, the U.S. military was able to send a battalion to support a place called Deokdong Pass in the Dead Eagle Ridge area, where a reinforced company of the enemy's headquarters was stationed.
Since the beginning of the general offensive on the 27th, volunteer soldiers have continuously launched fierce attacks on the U.S. troops at Deokdong Pass. Until December 1, the troops responsible for the offensive failed to capture the U.S. troops at Deokdong Pass. Yudam-ri
The purpose of the US military is to get in touch with the US military at Deokdong Pass. By holding Deokdong Pass, they can create an extremely good situation for the smooth evacuation of the US military from Yudam-ri.
Highland 1419.2 has become a battleground for the US military. The US military also knows that the road has been guarded by the volunteers for a long time. If you go from the road, you will inevitably encounter the resistance of the volunteers. The US military wants to play a roundabout way without taking the road.
, but planned to make a detour from the mountainous area towards Deokdong Pass at night, and Highland 1419.2 was the starting base of this battalion.
During the day on December 1, the US military sent three battalions of the seventh regiment to seize the high ground on both sides of the highway. The battalion's main force attacked 1542, and the remaining company attacked 1419.2. The battle continued until 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and no significant progress was made, so the US military used a roundabout to attack 1419.2.
The battalion was also dispatched to Highland 1419.2, but due to the huge gap in strength between the two sides in terms of firepower, Highland 1419.2 was lost. The U.S. troops attacking Highland 1419.2 suffered heavy casualties, so one or two companies of the third battalion were incorporated into the outflanking force, and the establishment was increased to four
even.
At nine o'clock on December 1st, we set off from the 1419.2 heights and headed towards Deokdong Pass.
On the night of December 1st, the 59th Division once again sent a counterattack force to compete for the 1419.2 Highland. The U.S. troops stationed on the highland were well prepared. They sent an ambush team to ambush the counterattack force from the rear of the Volunteer Army. The main force of the Volunteer Army quickly turned back to fight, and
The assault force of this counterattack force had a squad of about ten people. Deputy squad leader Li Ningpeng knew that once they turned around, the troops would inevitably be attacked from both front and rear, so he led a squad to charge towards the enemy's high ground.
On the way to the charge, his comrades fell one by one, and in the end only Li Ningpeng was left. He held a rifle and fired continuously. After approaching the US military position, he continuously threw grenades at the US military stationed on high ground 1419.2. The enemy rushed over.
He used his own body as a weapon and fought with the enemy until he died heroically. Later, the Volunteer Army's counterattack troops arrived and successfully captured the 1419.2 Hill. However, during the day of the 2nd, the US military launched a fierce attack on the 1419.2 Hill under the cover of countless artillery shells.
, 1419.2 Highland was lost again under such circumstances.
The last time the volunteer soldiers counterattacked on Highland 1419.2, there were only seven people, led by the deputy instructor of the 2nd Battalion. In the end, they all died on the way to charge on Highland 1419.2.
The U.S. military's intersecting troops arrived at Highland 1520 in the early morning and launched a sneak attack on the volunteer soldiers stationed on the high ground. At that time, there were only more than 60 of our volunteer troops on Highland 1520, and it was impossible to withstand the sneak attack of four companies of the U.S. Army. Highland 1520 was lost, and the U.S. Army
They began to attack Deokdong Mountain again. The initial attack did not go well. They used portable radios to contact the US military at Deokdong Pass. The US military at Deokdong Pass summoned fighter planes for them. Deokdong Mountain was lost. The US military inserted troops and successfully reached Deokdong Pass.
The convergence of U.S. troops laid the foundation for the retreat of the main force of the 1st Marine Division.
In Xiajieyuli, the Volunteer Army's attack was also hindered. The U.S. military built an airport in Xiajieyuli and transported a large amount of weapons and ammunition by air. They blocked the hole made by the Volunteer Army on the first day. At the same time,
In Xiajieyuli, the volunteer soldiers also saw an unforgettable scene. A US military helicopter landed directly on the US military's aircraft.
This was the first time that volunteer soldiers saw a helicopter.
The battle in Xiajieyuli was particularly fierce, as there were particularly large numbers of enemy divisions, tanks, and armored vehicles, as well as continuous bombing and strafing by U.S. military aircraft.
The Third Battalion and the Fifth Company of the 58th Division of the 20th Army were marching one night. Two correspondents who had just entered North Korea were responsible for reconnaissance of the terrain on the hilltop. An airplane came, dropped two bombs, and fired a machine gun. One of the correspondents was shot.
Another correspondent was hit in the head and sacrificed. Another correspondent was beaten to pieces and his intestines were punched out. The commander held him in his arms and put his ear to the young correspondent's mouth. The last words left by the young correspondent were
: "Instructor, I feel sorry for the people of my motherland. I sacrificed my life before I could defeat the American Japanese."
On the night of the 27th, the Battle of Changjin Lake began. Volunteer soldiers rushed out of the cold snow and launched a violent surprise attack on the US military position. The deputy commander of the sixth company rushed into the US military camp and was seriously injured. The deputy instructor went in to take a look.
The company commander was already dying. His body was punctured, his intestines were leaking out, and he was only half alive. The deputy instructor held him in his arms and put his ear to his mouth. When the deputy company commander died,
The last words left were: "Tell the 2nd and 3rd platoons that when charging, don't shout and fight quietly. The enemy's firepower is too strong."
