When the main force of the 38th Army was encircling and annihilating the Tokugawa enemies, the 335th Regiment completed its mission and continued to carry out the task of luring the enemy deeper. At Huaping Station, it fought against the American troops who continued to invade the Yalu River.
After Tokugawa's defeat, the situation turned into a confrontation. It seemed that the enemy did not know whether they wanted to continue the attack or retreat.
At the beginning of the fighting in Sansuoli, the 335th Regiment finally received the order from the division headquarters to launch an attack on the enemy in front. Fan Tianen had long been looking forward to this day.
From Feihu Mountain, he started to carry out the task of luring the enemy deeper. Even though he participated in the Battle of Tokugawa, he only scratched the surface and was transferred to continue the task of luring the enemy deeper. He immediately ordered an attack across the entire front against the enemy.
!
When Sanlian received the news, everyone was overjoyed.
"Hurry up and pack your things. Get ready for war. Bring your bazooka and recoilless rifle. This thing is very effective against enemy tanks."
After receiving the order, the fourth platoon also began to get busy. They seized a lot of good things from the enemy's corpses and prepared to take them all with them for this counterattack.
The enemy's station is in the ravine ahead. The mountains on both sides are high and densely forested, making it difficult to deploy.
"Xia Yuan, I'll give your fourth platoon a mission. When the fight starts later, take out the enemy tanks first."
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
Xia Yuan squinted his eyes to observe the situation of the enemy's station.
This enemy force is small. There are two tanks parked at the station and a dozen trucks.
The enemy's camp was silent with bonfires beating and burning.
This is not far from Xinxingli. The enemy went all the way north and occupied Xinxingli. They left an enemy force in this ravine, about one battalion in strength, as the leading force in Xinxingli.
Determined to eat up this group of enemies, Fan Tianen decided to use the first battalion to attack from the front, and the second battalion to penetrate behind the enemy, block the enemy's retreat, and eliminate the enemy as much as possible.
Before the operation began, he issued orders to the battalion commanders for a quick victory.
Xingxingli is not far from here. If the battle lasts too long, there is no guarantee that the enemy will come to support.
Mountains and wilderness, the night is hazy.
The entire mountainous field was quiet, deathly quiet, and the second battalion quickly moved back along the wild road.
"Quick, quicken your pace!"
During the march, the soldiers remained quiet, their heavy breathing mixed with the collision of weapons and equipment.
Half an hour later, they passed through a hill and arrived at the enemy's rear. The second battalion commander arranged for the soldiers of the sixth company to cross the kilometer to the other side of the road, so that crossfire could be formed.
The first battalion had already arrived at the combat position, and a signal flare was launched behind the enemy. This was a signal that the second battalion had arrived at the combat location and had made all arrangements.
The battle is about to break out.
The enemy's parked truck was first blown up with grenades by the soldiers who approached it. Under the cover of the second and third companies, the first company began to attack the enemy's station.
Xia Yuan led four platoons and quickly rushed towards the enemy's position from the wilderness on one side of the road.
The enemy did not expect that the Chinese who were confronting them would attack suddenly, catching them by surprise.
Two enemy tanks were launched, and there was a roar of artillery. The shells roared into the hilltop on one side, and the debris was scattered everywhere.
A shining flare was in the sky, illuminating the entire valley.
Bullets from both the enemy and ours intertwined and collided in mid-air. The leaping figures of the soldiers were clearly visible. Xia Yuan's eyes moved slightly as he scanned the battlefield. The fourth row soon encountered the first resistance. It was an enemy of a combat unit lying on the ground.
Shooting from the ground into the field.
Xia Yuan raised his gun and killed two enemies. The other enemies were out of reach from where they were crawling.
He did not forget about the enemy tonight. The enemy's tanks had already started. The muzzle flames of the heavy machine guns were clearly visible. Shells were sprayed from the tank barrels one after another, and the earth trembled and shook.
It was like an earthquake.
"Zhou Wen, take the people, go up to it, use the recoilless cannon, and give it a shot first."
"yes!"
Watching several soldiers from the second squad jump out of the bunker and rush towards the enemy's station.
Xia Yuan raised his gun and covered several soldiers.
His marksmanship is so accurate that even in a chaotic night with dim flares, turning on night vision makes the whole world look like daylight.
Bullets came out one by one, killing the enemy soldiers who showed up and tried to resist.
The first and third squads were not idle either. They built machine gun fortifications on the slopes that were not very steep, and strafed the enemy positions.
The presence of tanks is a huge threat. The enemy's gun barrels can be turned around, seriously threatening the machine gun fire positions constructed by our army.
Fortunately, the battlefield was very messy. The observation port of the tank was a periscope, so the observed situation was limited. Moreover, this enemy was the Li Puppet Army. Their tank soldiers’ military quality was far inferior to that of the US military. From the very beginning, the first shell hit the mountain.
above, you can see it.
Boom!
The recoilless rifle made a dull metallic sound, and a shell roared into the enemy tank. The huge sound echoed in the valley, and the huge impact also shook the enemy tank as it collided. The tank also lay on the ground and could not move.
,
"Beautiful! Go and inform the second platoon. This is an opportunity to tear a hole in the enemy's defense line. As long as the hole is opened, everything else will be easy to talk about!"
The third company is the sharp knife of the first battalion, and naturally serves as the main force to attack the enemy's positions.
All the pressure is on Company Commander Sun, and the battalion commander told him to tear open the enemy's defense line as quickly as possible and attack it.
He is under great pressure.
After commanding the third company for so long, this is the first time he has served as the main force of the battalion.
The fierce battle has been going on for more than ten minutes, and the enemy's defense line is already showing signs of collapse.
The first person to open a breakthrough was the wilderness on the side of the road, which was the target of the Fourth Platoon. Zhao Xiaoyi brought news that the enemy in front had suffered heavy casualties and began to retreat. Xia Yuan and his men had already entered and were chasing the enemy's last tank.
, the third shift began to move to the flanks to relieve the frontal pressure.
Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Xiaoyi brought the intelligence, he felt that the enemy's resistance in front was a little weak.
Not long after, the second platoon charged in from the front, and the enemy was completely routed.
The second platoon leader held his submachine gun against an enemy's head and shouted at the others: "Stop picking up things, clean the battlefield first!"
Enemies who did not surrender were shot directly, while enemies who surrendered were watched over by soldiers from a combat group.
"Squad Five will investigate from the right wing and eliminate the enemy!"
"yes!"
"Squad 4 is going to the mountain to move ammunition from the enemy truck, so move quickly!"
"yes!"
Ammunition is a good thing, it must not be blown up.
flank.
The battle on the Fourth Platoon side is basically coming to an end.
Xia Yuan threw the submachine gun behind him, raised his dark cheeks, opened his mouth and spit out a piece of white mist.
Seeing Zhou Wen running over to report the situation, "Platoon leader, the enemy tank did not escape, it was blown up by us."
Xia Yuan asked: "Okay, hurry up and clean the battlefield!"
"yes!"
The enemy ran away, but could not escape. The Second Battalion blocked the enemy from behind. Under attack from both front and rear, the enemy knew that they could not resist, so they dropped their guns and surrendered.
The second row brought a lot of ammunition, as well as some white flour, butter, and canned food.
Second platoon leader Zhang Youde came over cheerfully: "Xia Yuan, thank you very much. Thanks to you for fighting fast enough, we were able to get in."
Xia Yuan smiled: "Where are the first platoon commander and the third platoon commander, how are the conditions there?"
"What else can we do? These two have made a fortune and captured many prisoners. They are probably very happy now."
The clean-up work was handed over to the 1st Battalion and 2nd Company.
Because their superiors have given another mission, they have to move on and attack Xingxingli!
Everyone is happy.
"It's a good fight."
"Quick, replenish ammunition on the spot and set off!"
"The foreign devils have enough cans. Each person can take one can."
Everyone resupplied on the spot and set off on the journey again.
During the annihilation battle, the wireless radio at the regiment headquarters was destroyed by the enemy, and they lost contact with the division headquarters. Without the radio, they could not receive orders from their superiors. After annihilating this group of enemies, they could not decide whether to stay or attack forward.
After a brief choice, Fan Tianen chose to let the troops continue to advance and directly attack the enemies in the new area.
During the previous confrontation, the enemy had quite a lot of troops.
Later, I don't know what happened, but the enemy retreated back to Xingxingli. At that time, they were still in contact with the division headquarters. It should be the 113th Division and the 114th Division that took action.
The enemy wanted to escape, Fan Tianen thought, he must not let this enemy escape.
After arriving at Xinxingli, Fan Tianen had just completed his deployment. A staff officer from the neighboring 40th Army came to the regiment command post with several people. They were ordered to take over the defense line of the 335th Regiment.
Fan Tianen didn't know why and didn't know what to do.
"Comrade, don't worry. Our leader is on the way and will probably arrive soon."
Sure enough, not long after, the leader of the army also came and told Fan Tianen the entire battlefield situation at this stage.
Fan Tianen's eyes brightened after hearing this. Unexpectedly, the enemy had already been made dumplings by our army.
Fan Tianen and the regiment cadres were not backward-thinking. They thought that if they followed friendly forces, they would not be able to achieve the main task, so they decided to pursue their own troops.
In order not to lose their fighter planes and catch up with the main force as soon as possible, they decided to advance lightly. Except for guns, bayonets, grenades, mortars and dry food, everything else was placed in a ravine and sent people to watch. The large force was expected to be sixty per night
Kilometers of travel, rush to the front line, and catch up with the main force.
The cadres and soldiers of the third company of the 335th Regiment heard that the Chinese and North Korean troops had begun to counterattack across the board and that the entire army was fighting, and they wanted to join the battle immediately.
After these days of resisting and retreating every day, my heart was filled with anger.
After receiving the order, immediately throw everything except unnecessary things into the ravine and move forward lightly.
Captain Sun was in good health and carried three rice bags on his shoulders. "Quick, speed up. The commander estimates that we will run 60 kilometers a night. We have to run 70 kilometers. We must not fall behind."
"Catching up with the front line is victory!"
"Don't let the enemies run away, run away!"
The 335 regiments rushed to the front line day and night with great vigor.
Xing Yutang, a soldier of the third squad of the fourth platoon, is not tall. He carries three guns on his back and two rice bags hanging around his neck. Although his forehead, face and body are dripping with sweat and he walks lamely, if you ask him why he is not afraid of hardship,
, not afraid of being tired, he smiled and said:
"I have no other ideas, I just want to be a glorious party member!"
Heavy machine gunner Li Yumin is a strong 18-year-old soldier. Carrying a machine gun while marching is already heavy enough, and he also helps the weak comrades in the platoon carry this and that.
Xiao Heping was thin and thin, and as Xia Yuan's important logistics, he carried a lot of bullets, grenades and guns. The continuous march was too much for him, so Li Yumin helped him get his things.
"When we come to the Korean battlefield, we haven't made any meritorious service yet. We don't feel at ease at all. If we die and the credit has not yet been earned, we will just wait until we get to the front line and strive to make meritorious service!"
Li Yumin happily talked to Xiao Heping.
Xiao Heping felt a little lucky that he had already made a meritorious service and was not afraid even if he died.
The team was advancing rapidly. Instructor Hu walked and trotted, and from front to back, he kept passing out the command: "Quick, keep up!"
They had no guide, so they relied on a map and a compass. They navigated mountains and ridges, waded through rivers in rain and cold weather, and the road was difficult to navigate. Some people fell, got up, and followed the team by tracing their footprints.
On the first night, I climbed over two mountain ridges and arrived at Sumin Cave. It was already bright on the north side, but it was still dark on the mountain side.
The enemy in Sumindong is surrounded by troops of the 40th Army and has not yet been conquered. The battle is fierce. It is estimated that this is the most violent wave of attacks before dawn.
During the day, they took shelter on the north side of Sumin Cave and set off before dusk.
From the east side of Sumin Cave, we penetrated deep into the enemy's depth, and after marching all night, we arrived at a village 7.5 kilometers away from Tokchuan. Everyone was exhausted, but they still had to hold on to enter the village.
When Fan Tianen entered the village, he immediately sent out his staff to investigate the enemy's situation and the direction of the main force without taking any rest. The second thing he did was to find an air-raid shelter so that he could sleep during the day.
It was a coincidence that when the guards were looking for an air-raid shelter, they caught more than a dozen puppet soldiers in a vegetable cellar.
Fan Tianen immediately sent people to interrogate the prisoners, and then they learned that after Tokugawa was defeated, their main force left Tokugawa. Currently, Tokugawa only has one company of troops watching.
This group of enemies was a group of skirmishers. After Tokugawa was defeated, they hid in the vegetable cellar. There were a lot of vegetables in the vegetable cellar, and they managed to survive for a few days.
Unexpectedly, they were caught.
Failing to catch up with the main force, Fan Tianen could only hope that the regimental staff would bring good news.
At noon, the regiment's staff officer finally came back and said that after the troops captured Tokugawa, they did not have time to rest and then advanced towards Jiariling.
So they did not wait for dusk and turned to the west direction of Tokugawa to catch up with the team.
Finally catching up, the First Division of the 114th Division was fighting fiercely with the Turkish brigade near Jiariling. They captured three Turkish prisoners on one side and also found a paralyzed jeep. Fan Tianen informed the reporting team to unload the jeep.
The radio station was fine after I tried it, it could be used, and it finally connected with the army.
The division headquarters ordered them to advance towards Fengmingli.
The troops have just set off.
Yang Dayi received the order from the army commander, informing them to occupy Songgu Peak immediately.
But at this moment, all the troops of the 112th Division have been drawn out to participate in the battle, and there are no troops available anywhere.
Just as he was suffering from the lack of soldiers, he felt happy when he heard that the 335th Regiment was catching up.
