During the search and advance, the Second Company encountered two U.S. battalions and quickly occupied favorable terrain to block the enemy's advance.
The enemy immediately contacted the aircraft and violently attacked the second company's position with artillery and tanks. However, with the infantry charge, the second company commander was calm and calm, and calmly arranged for the soldiers to counterattack.
When the enemy came within the shooting range of the soldiers of the second company, they did not fire. When the enemy got close to the position, the soldiers came out from behind the bunker and directly knocked down the enemy with close-range firepower.
The enemy infantry retreated, and then called for more intense artillery attacks, and cooperated with the air force to bomb the entire mountain. The burning napalm bombs reflected the dark sky in red, and the snow on the ground also
Melt in an instant.
Facing the enemy's fierce artillery fire, instead of being afraid, the soldiers took pleasure in their suffering.
"The American planes are helping us. The kettle is almost frozen, and they are kind enough to help us keep warm."
"Hahaha!"
The enemy's artillery fire stopped, and the infantry continued to charge. The soldiers of the second company resisted desperately and repelled the enemy's charge.
The enemy once again cooperated with the ground troops with artillery fire and continued the battle. The second company's casualties increased. Before dark, the enemy's charges were repelled eight times, and the second company's casualties were only 5 wounded comrades. The instructor shouted: "Comrades, test
Our time has come, and the only one left must persevere until the final victory!"
Instructor Lu Rong placed the wounded on the battlefield. He was alone and fought with the enemy in the forward position. In the end, he was outnumbered and died heroically.
The wounded took over the instructor's duties and continued to fight the enemy.
We persisted until it was completely dark, and subsequent troops arrived one after another to launch the attack, and the enemy began to collapse.
The 335th Regiment is located in the rear position and does not serve as the vanguard regiment. It is also closely related to the Feihushan Battle. After the Feihushan Battle, the 335th Regiment's vitality was severely damaged. After the Battle of Tokugawa, the 335th Regiment was severely damaged.
, also with the 336th Regiment as the vanguard.
Including this attack on Kagogawa.
The three consecutive rounds are only for interspersing and rewinding.
Later, I received an order from the regiment headquarters to proceed cautiously.
The Li Puppet Army and the U.S. Army are rampant near Jiariling. Once you encounter them, a brutal battle is inevitable.
With the follow-up reinforcements, the enemy was defeated. The 112th Division successfully completed the blocking mission of Yukou Station. The 336th Regiment captured more than 70 enemy soldiers during the battle at Yukou Station.
Most of the prisoners did not obey the orders of the prisoners and insisted on not leaving. One soldier was so angry that he wanted to shoot all the prisoners to relieve his hatred and avoid being burdensome, but he was stopped by the platoon leader.
The platoon leader was also a veteran soldier with a very high level of ideological awareness. He guessed that these prisoners might not understand what everyone was saying and were frightened by the 'abuse' and 'torture' they might encounter next.
The more reason was the language barrier, which caused them to not understand the Volunteer Army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, so they went to the battalion headquarters, found a translator, and publicized the Volunteer Army's prisoner policy to them. Sure enough, these prisoners eliminated their worries and not only obeyed the instructions of the prisoners.
They even took the initiative to tell the volunteers more about the situation ahead.
After the Thirty-Eighth Army occupied Jiariling, it immediately attacked the US military, Li Puppet Army, and Turkish troops who tried to support Tokugawa. Even MacArthur's plan to reoccupy Tokugawa failed completely.
The U.S. military on the Western Front faced a situation of being surrounded on all sides.
The U.S. Tenth Army on the eastern front was also surrounded in the Changjin Lake area, and the situation in North Korea as a whole began to tilt toward our army.
Next, is the most important thing.
Close the door and beat up the rampaging United Nations troops and Li Puppet Army.
Whether the door can be closed or not depends most critically on Division 113.
Sansuoli has a special geographical location and is an important transportation hub through which the enemy retreated. Occupying Sansuoli is equivalent to the enemy entering the courtyard and closing the exit door.
Whether the 113th Division, which is responsible for the roundabout mission, can arrive at the Three Residences on time to block the enemy is the most critical step that Shiji expects to have in the decisive battle with the US military in the Junyu-ri and Kaichuan areas.
Therefore, the military headquarters and the Zhisi Division are paying close attention to the interspersed operations of the 113th Division.
Sansuoli is a small village located in the hinterland of the U.S. Eighth Army on the Western Front. It borders the Datong River to the south and mountains to the north. It is a dangerous pass and is far away from the Puppet Second Army stationed in Sunchuan, the U.S. Ninth Army in Cishan, and Anshan.
The command structures of the U.S. First Army and other armies in the state are very close.
To the west of the village, there is a north-south highway from Pyongyang to Pichcheon. It is a strategic location that the main force of the US and Li puppet troops on the western front must pass through when advancing northward. It is also a gate for the 38th Army to intercept the Qingchuan River and allow the US troops to escape southward.
Before the troops set off, Zhu Yuehua, who served as the commander of the 338th Regiment, together with the political commissar, deputy regiment, deputy political commissar, regiment staff and others conducted a detailed study on the military map.
Sansuoli is located in the enemy's belly, and the journey is 72.5 kilometers. Along the way, we have to pass through enemy-occupied areas and there are rugged mountain roads. Everyone is not sure whether they can reach Sansuoli in time.
However, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they must complete the tasks assigned by their leader.
Zhu Yuehua decided to march quickly!
In order to guard against enemy obstruction, every battalion and every company must be mentally prepared to act as a sharp sword at any time.
Encountering enemies on the way, the battalions serving as sharp swords fought continuously, while the teams behind continued to advance, never giving up on fighting, and advancing alternately.
Although the troops were quite tired from continuous marching and fighting, when they heard that there was a new combat mission, everyone was in high spirits and no one felt sleepy anymore.
But in a short period of time, on two legs, carrying weapons, equipment, and ammunition, they must march 70 to 80 kilometers quickly on rugged mountain roads. This is unique in human history.
What's more, this unit had just experienced the Battle of Tokugawa. They had marched continuously before and had not had a full meal, so the soldiers were quite tired.
This is a major action that tests human will and body.
This is the night of the 18th day of the lunar calendar, and the bright moon is in the sky.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The troops walked around and waded along a small river, as if they could never finish the journey.
The combat team leaders of each class walked in front, mobilizing while marching, and said: "Although we have a long distance, the U.S. military's motorbikes have to stop for water and refueling, but we don't have to, and we don't delay walking during meetings. We can definitely beat them!"
"
"The Red Army traveled 25,000 miles back then. This little distance is nothing!"
The soldiers were in a heroic mood, "Don't worry, the Yankees can't escape. We will defeat them completely this time!"
The team traveled more than ten kilometers out of Tokugawa and captured a puppet radio soldier who escaped from Tokugawa. After passing the evidence, they learned that there was a black regiment in Shatun ahead.
So the troops entered a combat march state. For the safety of the division leader, they left three cavalry correspondents waiting for the division leader, and the large troops continued to march quickly.
In the vast darkness, a long shadow passed through the mountains, forests and rivers, and the sound of swishing underfoot broke the silence of the night.
The pebbles by the river were slippery, and people kept slipping and stepping into the water. But they were afraid that they would fall behind, so they didn't even bother to wring out their clothes, so they ran to catch up.
When some soldiers slipped and fell, they thought of the comrades behind them, so everyone grabbed a handful of grass, stones, sand, or sticks and placed them in the muddy or slippery place to pave the way for the comrades behind them.
Normally, artillery marches are either pulled by carts or carried by horses, but now, they have left all the carts and horses behind, carrying the heavy barrels, artillery disks and shells themselves, and running behind the infantry, even if they are suppressed
Panting heavily, but no one wanted to take a step down.
When going down a high and steep slope, the gunner in front was carrying the gun and had a rope tied around his waist, and the comrades behind him were dragging him down.
A comrade who was carrying artillery shells accidentally fell while going downhill in this way and rolled down the slope. His hands, clothes, and clothes were all scratched, but he endured the pain and got up without bothering to bandage.
Carrying the shell box, I continued to chase forward, fearing that I would fall behind.
With only more than ten miles left to go to Shatun, the troops stopped. Zhu Yuehua, political commissar Xing Ze and others studied how to pass Shatun.
The division leaders have not caught up yet, they can only do their own research and think about countermeasures first.
During the research, the troops finally got a few moments to breathe. The soldiers, who had been exhausted for a long time, snored with their buttocks on the ground. They were really sleepy, sleepy and tired.
Both body and mind have reached their limits.
Especially the artillery comrades, the burden on their bodies was heavier than that of the infantry. Their shoulders were worn out by cannonballs, artillery disks and barrels, and blood seeped out.
Time was very limited. As soon as the soldiers took a nap, the cadres studied the battle plan through Shatun, and the troops continued to move forward.
In fact, there was no black regiment in Chatun, only some skirmishers who escaped from Tokugawa. As soon as the troops came in, they ran away. Those who had no time to escape were captured and used as prisoners.
When attacking Shatun, the division commander also caught up from the rear. At the same time, they also received instructions from the division commander and conveyed the instructions to the 338th Regiment:
"After the 7th Annihilation Division succeeds, in addition to leaving the direct team to search the mountain, the three divisions of the 38th Army should quickly attack Junyuli and coordinate with the 40th Army to attack the 2nd U.S. Division in the courtyard and stadium."
"Tonight, we will enter Tokugawa West Jiariling and Xingli areas, and prepare to eliminate the enemies fleeing from the east to the south. Then a division will approach the Kaichuan to contain the enemy. The main force of the army should attack the courtyard and Longyuanli on the evening of the 28th.
Attack. If the enemy in the court or courtyard flees south, the army should quickly attack the enemy in Junyuli and Pingyuan in a roundabout direction to the south of Qichuan and Pingyuan!"
The purpose of the insertion was quite clear, and everyone now knew Shiji's next plan, including why he wanted to insert himself into Sansho.
Zhu Yuehua quickly ordered the comrades from the agency to go down to the army, convey the instructions of the Secretary, encourage each other, promise to follow the right path, and resolutely penetrate into the third station.
After Shatun was captured, the 113th Division completely ignored cleaning the battlefield and did not even have a chance to rest. They dragged their tired bodies and continued to advance.
They walked all night.
The soldiers were extremely tired. Such high-load operation was a huge consideration for the physical limits.
Some soldiers had no feeling in their bodies and relied entirely on their will to move forward with heavy steps.
Some soldiers vomited blood and fell to the ground. Comrades from the rear caught up and squatted on the ground to check their breathing. They found that they were already very weak and quickly called the health workers.
The hygienist came over to take a look and shook his head heavily: "Let him have a good rest."
The soldiers who gathered around looked at the young face and remained silent. They knew in their hearts that after this rest, they might never get up again.
But the mission still continues, and they can only endure the grief in their hearts, grit their teeth and move on.
The instructor encouraged them: "Every one of these comrades who died will have to settle accounts with the Americans and avenge them!"
The soldiers turned grief into motivation.
Before dawn, the troops arrived at the Datong River, still about thirty miles away from Sansuoli.
At this time, a soldier from the Korean People's Army guerrillas took a boat to sneak across the Datong River late at night. He came to report to us the enemy situation along the river and took the initiative to lead the way for the vanguard troops.
According to the report of the reconnaissance troops in front, there may be enemies in the south of the Yangtze River, so Zhu Yuehua asked the Second Battalion to go to investigate the enemy's situation. If there were a few enemies in front, they would fight while advancing.
At dawn, enemy planes kept flying around in the sky, conducting high-altitude reconnaissance.
Since entering the DPRK, the troops have rarely marched during the day. Whether to continue marching now is a new question. The division chief asked the troops to rest first and arranged for cadres of each regiment to hold a meeting to study what to do after dawn.
When the soldiers heard the call to rest, they lay on the ground and closed their eyes and fell asleep.
The division cadres sat down and had a meeting together.
The effect of this meeting was extraordinary. At this time, the US military advancing to the Cheongchon River was not cut off and blocked. At this moment, the US military was ordered to retreat to Sunchon and Pyongyang.
If the 113th Division cannot arrive at the three camps in time and block the enemy, it will be a rout like the first battle, but it will not be able to annihilate the enemy in large numbers.
Therefore, Shisi and the military headquarters are looking forward to the 113th Division arriving at the Third Residence as soon as possible.
However, since the division set off from Tokugawa, there has been radio silence, and there has been no news. All radio stations are looking forward to hearing the signal from the 113th Division.
General Shiji stayed by the radio station all the time, asking for news about the 113th Division from time to time.
But the answer is the same every time.
If the 113th Division cannot reach the third base and cut off the enemy as planned, then all preparations for the second battle will be in vain.
Not only that, the consequences and impact are even more terrifying.
Although the first battle was a rout and did not wipe out a large number of enemies, it was still a victory. It severely weakened the enemy's spirit and made them run away with their heads in their hands.
Not only that, the true strength of the Volunteer Army has not yet been exposed. What was visually detected and placed on MacArthur's desk showed only three divisions of the Volunteer Army.
Zhisi and the rear also took advantage of the unclear strength of the volunteer army to lure the enemy deeper, and then attack with the entire army, divide and encircle them, and annihilate them one by one.
The second battle can be said to have put all the strength and trump cards of the Volunteer Army on the table. In addition to driving the enemy back to Pyongyang in one fell swoop, the most important point is to eliminate a large number of the enemy's active forces.
.
If they are allowed to escape by this American force, all previous efforts will be in vain.
