The 113th Division, which was interspersed in Xiangsan Institute, was convening a meeting in full swing.
The three places they wanted to penetrate were in the enemy's belly. Enemy planes were flying around in the sky and hovering overhead. Marching during the day would inevitably expose them.
But if they do not march during the day, they will arrive at the third station later, and it is still unknown whether the mission will be delayed.
They didn't dare to turn on the radio and contact the military headquarters and Shisi. This area was surrounded by signal detection by the US military. Once the radio was turned on, they felt as if a locator was attached.
Maintaining radio silence is the only way at the moment.
But whether to march during the day is still a major issue hanging over the heads of commanders at all levels of the 113th Division.
At the short meeting on the march, the opinions could not be unified.
Some people say, quite rightly, that marching during the day will expose our intentions, and secondly, there will be a problem with the masses’ perceptions.
The soldiers had no rest for several days and nights. Some soldiers vomited blood and fell down during the rapid march. They were too tired and should camp on the spot. Only by getting a good rest can they win the battle.
Some disagreed with this opinion and demanded to continue on their way. Military orders were overwhelming, and no one knew whether stopping to rest would delay the mission.
In the first battle, they had already lost the battle. The 38th Army was criticized by Shiji. Everyone had a dark cloud hanging over their heads and wanted to clear it away.
The cadre who agreed to rest further elaborated his point of view: "The superiors did not clearly indicate when they should arrive at the third station. It may be tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, to cook some food for the troops, or to let the soldiers have a good rest.
The soldiers have all vomited blood."
"I think this is what we should do. Shiji said that we should attack Junyu-ri and Kaichuan on the evening of the 28th. It's still early now."
Comrade Comrade Political Commissar of the 338th Regiment recalled that during the domestic battlefield of liberating the Northeast, a unit was criticized for delaying a fighter plane because of eating. He absolutely did not agree with the above-mentioned comrade's opinion.
Examples of things that have been criticized for delaying fighter jets.
Then he said: "The chief ordered us to quickly infiltrate into the three institutes. We must race against time to quickly stop and rest. The first battle was because of our carelessness, which led to us being criticized by the chief. This lesson is not enough.
Well."
Deputy Division Liu Haiqing firmly supported Comrade Political Commissar's opinion and said: "No matter how difficult the troops are, they cannot stop. Yes, the soldiers need to rest, but time is tight. If you arrive in advance, you can make full battle preparations.
Reduce the casualties of soldiers."
"This is the highest mass concept in battle!"
Everyone was silent for a moment. Comrade Jiang Chao and Comrade Yu Jingshan felt that Liu Haiqing's notice expressed their opinions. Yu Jingshan said in agreement: "Old Liu said it well. We should arrive early and take the initiative. We cannot give up the initiative to the enemy. If
Falling into a passive state will only increase casualties."
Comrade Jiang Chao stood up and ordered the troops to continue moving forward. With one order, all the commanders and soldiers of the division marched quickly towards the three camps regardless of fatigue.
However, enemy planes were always causing interference overhead. One formation flew past, then another formation came, and there were also "Black Widow" reconnaissance planes, always circling overhead.
At the beginning, as soon as the enemy planes came, they blew the trumpet to hide, and the troops stopped and stopped, which wasted a lot of time.
There is no way to go on like this.
During the march, they held a short meeting and believed that their position was deep into the enemy's belly, behind the enemy's rear, and the enemy planes were very high above the ground. It was not necessarily possible to tell whether they were enemies or friendly forces.
After careful consideration, they agreed to take off the disguise and move forward boldly.
This is really a dangerous move. Once discovered by enemy planes, you will be faced with danger from all sides.
But since ancient times, soldiers have never been tired of deceit, and the enemy's reconnaissance planes were indeed fooled. Not only did they not have fighter jets to attack their marching troops, but they thought they were Li puppet troops escaping from the Tokugawa direction, and even called in the security team from the Sanso-ri direction.
Salted fish, rice and boiling water were prepared for them.
Therefore, when the avant-garde battalion arrived at Sansuoli, the enemy troops inside were not prepared at all, and they even barely opened the door to welcome them in.
The avant-garde battalion fought quickly and eliminated the security team in the third camp. The troops from behind filed in, quickly occupied the slope near the third camp, and intensively dug bunkers and fortifications.
As soon as the shovel was inserted into the soil, the scout in front of him blew a sharp whistle.
Like a long queue of enemies, they rushed along the road in the direction of Sansuoli. There was only five minutes left before they captured Sansuoli.
The Fourth Company and the Ninth Company quickly crossed the road and entered the wilderness. They suddenly opened fire, setting the truck at the front on fire, and immediately blocked the enemies behind them. This American army was fleeing in a hurry, and the sudden attack scared them.
After a jump, he no longer cared about the car, jumped out of the car and ran away in a hurry.
When the command post of the 338th Regiment rushed to the east mountain of Sansuoli, they heard rapid gunshots from the vanguard platoon. The regiment leader Zhu Yuehua quickly raised his telescope to observe, and saw smoke and dust rising on the road leading to Sansuoli.
That was the large group of people who were still marching toward the Yalu River yesterday. Now they were heading south in a panic, trying to escape through Sansuoli.
"Quick! Seize the favorable terrain!"
This is a head-on encounter with the enemy.
The sound of gunfire is an order.
The 338th Regiment is the vanguard regiment of the 113th Division, and there are a large number of troops behind them who are filing into Sansuoli. When they hear that the enemy is blocked in front, the troops behind them all run towards Sansuoli.
The sounds of weapons clashing came one after another, and the whistles blown by commanders and soldiers complemented each other.
It's like starting the final sprint as you approach the finish line of a long-distance race.
Some soldiers collapsed from exhaustion, dragged their bags behind them, and continued running forward with only weapons, ammunition and rice bags.
Some soldiers fell down and never got up again. The continuous rapid march caused many soldiers to go into shock. Some were rescued by health workers, while others never woke up.
The 113th Division marched 72.5 kilometers overnight. At 7 a.m. on the 28th, it arrived 5 minutes before the enemy. It seized a favorable position in the third camp and, with a sudden attack, completely annihilated a company of the US Army and the 5th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division.
The advance team of more than 30 people successfully blocked the enemies fleeing south in the third camp.
There was a brief silence in the three houses.
There were only corpses thrown by the enemy and damaged cars on the road.
The instructors of each company began to build defensive fortifications nervously, and the regiment command post also had a busy atmosphere.
The regiment leader Zhu Yuehua immediately asked Comrade Zhang Fu, director of the division's information department, to issue a contract and report to the army and division.
Along the way, Comrade Zhang Fu and others carried heavy reporting equipment and marched quickly with the troops. When they arrived at the third station, their tired cotton clothes were soaked with sweat, as if they had just been fished out of the water.
My tongue was dry and my legs felt as heavy as lead.
Now they don't care about rest and immediately set up a charter plane.
Since several contents of the telegram were numbered according to regulations before departure, only a few signals needed to be sent. Zhang Fu skillfully sent several sets of signals, "Our troops have arrived at the third station." The enemy attempted to pass through
Sansuoli retreated to the south and "requested instructions from our department on the mission".
In five minutes, we communicated with the regiment, division, army and Shisi.
The signal from the 113th Division suddenly came. Shisi's telegraph operator quickly informed Shisi of the situation. All the units that received the signal from the 113th Division were very excited. The atmosphere in the headquarters became lively, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Smiling.
Someone said in surprise: "The 113th Division is so fast. It only took so long that they arrived at the 3rd Institute."
Shiji, who had always been serious, also had a smile on his face. The situation he expected finally appeared, "Immediately order the 338th Regiment of the 113th Division to block the enemies fleeing south in the third camp!"
"yes!"
After receiving Shiji's instructions, the morale of the Third Institute increased greatly. The company instructor took the time to direct the soldiers to dig bunkers and fortifications.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Shisi sent a message to the Volunteer Army's Western Front Combat Force and pointed out that north of the Qingchuan River, the main US military divisions were retreating southward.
"Our army cut off the enemy's retreat route, divided and surrounded them according to the Beijing-North telegraph order, and completed the mission of annihilating the four American divisions and the British 27th Brigade on the Western Front!"
According to Shisi's instructions, Comrade Han immediately ordered the 42nd Army to speed up its advance towards Yinshan and along the Chuan River in order to flank the main force of the 1st Cavalry Division stationed near Sunchuan and reduce the pressure on the 113th Division of the 38th Army.
Comrade Liang of the 38th Army ordered the 114th Division to move closer to the 113th Division as quickly as possible, from east to west, flanking the enemies breaking through from the direction of Sansuoli and Longyuanli.
Comrade Shiji's staff, from 9:40 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., used radio to communicate with the cadres of the 13th Division three times. He said that Shiji was very happy and encouraged them to resolutely cut off the enemy's retreat and cooperate with the main force at all costs.
Destroy the enemy in a big battle.
When Shiji assigned combat missions to the troops on the Western Front, the 5th Regiment of the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division retreated from the north and surged toward Sansuo along the highway.
The roar of the tank caused the rocks on the ridges on both sides to roll down.
The car roared like a long winding dragon.
The Eighth Company and the Fifth Company were the vanguard of the 338th Regiment, stationed on the east and west sides of the road. When the enemy's leading troops arrived at the ambush positions of the two companies, they attacked from the east and west and fired at the enemy in unison.
This group of enemies belongs to the "Founding Fathers Division" of the United States, which is the most powerful force in the US military. When they were attacked by ridges on both sides, their artillery was already lined up in the rear. It was obvious that they received three
News of the loss.
There was a rumbling roar, followed by a burst of hot air, carrying unrivaled potential energy, spanning a thousand meters, and landed on the positions of the Eighth Company and the Five Company.
In the sky, a formation of US bombers roared in, a dark group like a group of big birds.
The instructor of the fifth company on the position looked at the enemy's posture, preparing for coordinated operations with artillery and air force, and called on the soldiers to take cover, but the enemy at the foot of the mountain could not be left alone.
The enemy wanted to use the air force to cooperate with the artillery, open a gap in the direction of the third station, and start a fierce attack on the Eighth Company position with a battalion of troops. The enemy tanks rushed to a hundred meters away from the Eighth Company position and opened fire. The infantry was covered by the tanks.
Down, they rushed up the hill in groups.
Gunsmoke filled the battlefield, and the U.S. military could be seen all over the mountains and plains.
However, they were beaten down several times by the firepower of the second platoon. The morale of the soldiers was unstoppable. They were very happy to see the enemy in such a miserable state.
What a bullshit Founding Father, nothing more than that.
When the instructor ran to the second row position, the soldiers happily said to him: "Instructor, the American soldiers are really big bears. We shot them down after charging several times."
The instructor was calm and calm, "The battle has just begun. Don't underestimate the enemy. The enemy will not be able to defeat us. If he becomes angry, he will use more violent artillery fire to bomb us. We must protect ourselves."
The squad leaders smiled and said: "Instructor, we all know this, so just watch it. Today, not even one of these American devils can get through."
The enemy failed to attack several times. As the instructor said, he became even more mad when he became angry. He did not hesitate to pour out a large amount of artillery bombardment and used plowing methods to bombard the Eighth Company's position inch by inch, with the attitude of flattening the mountain top.
Pillars of smoke several feet high rose up from the Eighth Company position, and when the wind blew, they floated everywhere.
Shrapnel and stones were flying all over the sky. The soil around the hilltop position had been bombarded by enemy bombs, artillery shells, and gasoline bombs. Some hard mountains were also turned into powder under the fierce shelling.
The billowing smoke of gunpowder spread from east to west in the direction of the wind, covering the sky like dusk.
The smell in the air was pungent and the temperature rose. The soldiers who resisted with their flesh and blood emerged from the soil and found three companies of machine guns cooperating in the battle. The machine guns of each squad had malfunctioned due to the bombing. They were about to rush forward.
Arriving at the position, squad leader Comrade Mou Xingguang crawled on the ground and climbed to the machine gun position at a very fast speed.
He held the machine gun in his arms, deftly dismantled the parts, untied his clothes, wiped off the dirt and gravel on the machine gun with the clean liner of his clothes, troubleshooted the malfunction, replaced the parts, and quickly repaired the machine gun, powerfully
Support second platoon operations.
Every time the enemy charged, they were overwhelmed by the Eighth Company's firepower at the foot of the mountain. However, the Eighth Company's casualties increased sharply, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers holding on to their positions.
Especially as time went by, the enemy could clearly feel that the firepower of the Chinese soldiers on the mountain was insufficient, but the resistance was tenacious, which made them extremely excited.
After the new round of shelling, a large number of tanks arrived at a position 100 meters away from the Eighth Company's position. The tank soldiers controlled heavy machine guns and began to sweep towards the Eighth Company's position, while the soldiers covering them stormed the Eighth Company's position.
Facing the enemy's fierce attack, the remaining soldiers were not timid. They shouted heroic slogans: "For the motherland, for the people, for peace, and for victory, we must not let the enemy run away!"
Party member Hu Huihua, the leader of the fifth squad, led the entire squad to guard a bare hill. The battle ended with only him and another wounded soldier remaining, still holding on to their position and refusing to take a step back even to the death.
The two of them gathered all the guns in the squad, including some that had been taken from enemy corpses, as well as some grenades, and loaded all the guns with bullets.
Hu Huihua placed the wounded in the rear, more than twenty meters away from him. He hid in the front, with all the guns lined up and ammunition put away. When the attack started, he picked up a gun, pulled the trigger, and waited for the bullets to fire.
