"The 33rd Regiment of the 3rd Army Division suffered heavy casualties in an accidental bombing by an Air Force B-29 bomber. Since a large number of its regiment personnel were killed, it has been difficult to restore their organization. After the enemy launched an attack on them, many personnel only
Able to surrender voluntarily in exchange for rescue."
"Although the Sixty-fifth Regiment of the Third Division suffered slightly smaller losses in the accidental bombing, because they were busy rescuing the surviving personnel of the Thirty-third Regiment at the time, they were unable to form an effective defense and suffered a heavy blow in the subsequent enemy armored assault.
A large number of Nanbang soldiers assigned to them either fled or surrendered."
"The artillery unit of the Third Division was deployed in Hamhung City. It once caused heavy damage to the attacking enemy. However, due to the chaos on the battlefield, it was subsequently attacked by the enemy's infiltrated assault force. Now contact has been lost, and the specific situation is difficult to understand."
"The enemy mobile artillery approached the coast of Xingnan Port after raiding the Third Division and launched artillery fire on the naval ships parked off the coast. Due to the unpreparedness at the time of the incident, the three 'Essex' class aircraft carriers were attacked in different ways.
Degree of battle damage.
Among them, the "Wright" caused a fire due to the explosion of a carrier-based aircraft, and the flight deck and hangar were severely damaged. Major General Smith, the commander of the 1st Marine Division who had just arrived on the "Wright", and the accompanying staff were unfortunately killed in the fire. The fire is still ongoing.
It is burning and the fire is not yet under control.”
"Due to the enemy's arson during the attack, Hungnam Port is now in complete chaos. The 1st Marine Division Headquarters, the Tenth Army Headquarters and thousands of logistics personnel are trapped in it. Nambang Port is deployed in Hamhung City and Hungnam Port
The First Division and the Third Division were fighting the invading enemy, and the battle situation was tense.
In addition, we also received multiple rescue telegrams from Lianpu Airport to the west of Xingnan Port, but we could no longer contact them soon.
It is believed that the airport was also raided by enemy armored forces, and the defense personnel could not support it. Someone escaped and reported to us that a group of pilots were coerced into driving a transport plane carrying ammunition and supplies and forcibly took off and flew north."
It was twelve o'clock at night, and the entire battle situation in Xingnan Port was completely chaotic. The U.S. Tenth Army deployed on this battlefield clearly had nearly 100,000 people, and there was strong naval and air force support, but it was defeated overnight.
A pot of porridge.
As mentioned before, the 1st and 7th Marine Divisions, which were the most capable, were trapped in Changjin Lake and could not return. The 3rd Division, which was slightly more capable, was demoralized by its own people and suffered heavy losses.
The enemy came up and ravaged it.
The most annoying thing is that the two Nanbang divisions attached to the Tenth Army were entangled with the enemy in the city despite their large numbers. They were fighting fiercely and fiercely, but they couldn't help at all. They kept saying on the radio
No matter how brilliant the results are, the reality is that there is no movement.
After receiving such a series of terrible news, His Majesty the Supreme Emperor squatting in Tokyo could no longer relax. Especially when he heard that three aircraft carriers had been destroyed, one of which was seriously damaged and his subordinates were killed.
General, he jumped out of bed in shock and shouted - What?!
God, have you been drained of the Virgin Mary?
But the naval officer who came to report was also crying. Who would have thought that his extremely powerful aircraft carrier would be attacked unexpectedly? Lao Mai kept cursing and asked about the follow-up battle, especially whether the enemy's artillery that overturned his own aircraft carrier was destroyed.
The naval officer said with great grievance: "The enemy's artillery seemed to be a few tanks. We had no time to react. The enemy opened fire and rushed into Xingnan Port. There are tens of thousands of us in the port, so we cannot carry out retaliatory bombardment."
I am so angry!
Commander MacArthur felt like he was about to vomit blood. Unfortunately, he had no effective way to contain his opponent. The only thing he could think of was to immediately send a force from other places to Xingnan Port to carry out rescue operations.
But far away water cannot quench the near thirst. At present, the only option is to let the trapped troops take care of themselves, and let Japan's B-29 and Wonsan's B-26 carry out night bombings. Others..., wait until dawn for the navy and air force to resume operations
Go rescue.
Under the cover of darkness, Zhou Qingfeng led a group of confused Nanbang drivers to leave Xingnan Port in a huge convoy. With IS-7 on the way, it seemed safe, but when they crossed the Chengchuan River, they found themselves
fell into the hands of volunteers.
"Each vehicle is escorted by two soldiers, led by company and platoon-level cadres, and they immediately return to Gutuli or even Xiajieyuli to change the main force of the corps. I specially selected the US military's winter clothing, food and fuel. These things can make the soldiers
We regain our fighting strength."
Zhou Qingfeng used his outstanding ability to directly assign tasks to the leaders of the 179th Regiment who came to respond. When they saw that he had obtained more than 300 vehicles of food and clothing materials that the regiment urgently needed, everyone said nothing and just went to work.
.
"I want a battalion to seize the Xingnan Railway Station, where there is a direct train to Zhenxingli. The train has a large transport capacity and is fast, so we can make good use of it."
"We must make good use of the prisoners in Nanbang. They can help us drive cars and trains. But if they don't obey, we will kill them. Kill them as a warning to others. Don't be lenient."
"Lianpu Airport has been captured, and the enemy's aircraft carrier will not be able to take off fighter jets for a while. But I think the enemy's night bombers will come soon. Everyone should be prepared for enemy air attacks and hurry up."
Zhou Qingfeng's mood at this moment is a mixture of excitement and anxiety. The current situation is so good that even he can't imagine it. While achieving huge results, the U.S. military's all-round strike capability by sea, land and air is a huge rock that will hit him on top of his head at any time.
.
The U.S. Army does not need to worry now, but after dawn, the U.S. Navy will definitely rely on the power of naval guns to land on the beach to rescue their trapped colleagues. And before dawn, the U.S. Air Force bombers will inevitably take off at night, ready to drop bombs.
With a long sigh, Zhou Qingfeng, who was a little proud and a little nervous, thought about what else he could do. At this moment, a staff officer of the 179th Regiment hurriedly found him and asked him to lead the team back to Gutuli immediately. He had a new mission.
Give it to him.
"New mission?" Zhou Qingfeng thought to himself that the battle in Xingnan is currently in full swing. Is there any more important mission waiting for him?
"The leaders of the corps have informed the imperial capital of the current situation in Xingnan. Many central leaders in the imperial capital expressed extreme surprise and were also deeply encouraged. After repeatedly confirming your achievements, the central government is considering calling on the entire army to learn from you.
At present, the situation on the battlefield has been basically clear, but the enemy's threat has not been eliminated. Considering that you will definitely become a propaganda model, the head of the Corps hopes that you can return safely."
The regimental staff officer has made it very clear. Zhou Qingfeng naturally knows why he is suddenly asked to leave the front line. Simply put, it is that the next battle has nothing to do with him. The central leaders already know the miracles he has created, and naturally hope that he will survive.
, don’t die!
"'GOD', should this be considered the copy completed?" Zhou Qingfeng asked in his mind.
The war has been decided, and 'GOD' responded: "The Battle of Changjin Lake has undergone tremendous changes because of you, and the completion level is perfect. You can exit this instance."
"Can I ask what the final result will be?" Zhou Qingfeng continued to ask.
"According to follow-up deductions, the 60th Division of the Volunteer Army will suffer heavy losses in the U.S. counterattack. But this will also be the Ninth Corps' biggest loss in the future, and it is difficult for you to change this result.
And there are many good things. Because you have captured a large number of weapons, ammunition, and clothing supplies, this has given great support to the more than 100,000 soldiers of the Ninth Corps who are in a bitter battle. The combat casualties and non-combat casualties of the Corps will be reduced by more than half, from six
Fifteen thousand reduced to thirty thousand."
"There are still thirty thousand?" Zhou Qingfeng sighed.
"This is already very good and can be called a miracle." 'GOD' said: "The US military casualties will double, from 15,000 to 30,000, and the casualties on both sides will be basically the same.
In particular, the 1st Marine Division will be reduced from 25,000 to 5,000. The three main regiments have been basically crippled and lost their organization. In a short time, this powerful force will not be able to go to the battlefield again.
In addition, the US Third Division was also severely damaged by you, and three aircraft carriers were forced to return to the ship repair yard in Yokohama, Japan for several months. Among them, the "Wright" had multiple decks seriously damaged, thousands of people were killed and injured, and dozens of people were injured.
The fighter plane was burned and basically lost its maintenance value, which was equivalent to being sunk."
"So what's my reward?"
"Special meritor, first-class combat hero."
"I have made countless meritorious deeds through life and death, and no one in the whole army can compare with me. And I also count Da Tianwen. In the emperor's heart, there are not two special ones?"
"The two 'special classes' are for martyrs, do you want them?"
"Uh... never mind! I still want to live a few more years." Zhou Qingfeng immediately refused.
‘GOD’ continued: “From now on, you will be awarded the title of ‘Hero’.”
"'Hero'..., does it have any special benefits?"
"The troops under your direct command will always have high morale and will never retreat no matter how difficult the battle situation is. Your Guards troops will receive a double combat strength bonus and will swear loyalty to the death and never betray!"
"Ah..., that sounds really good!" Zhou Qingfeng breathed out a sigh of relief, feeling that his hard work and hard work on the Korean battlefield were not in vain.
"Do you want to exit the instance immediately?" 'GOD' asked.
"No..., I want to say goodbye to my comrades." Zhou Qingfeng was silent for a while and refused.
