In the fourth campaign to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, Chinese people's Volunteer Army, with the cooperation of the Korean People's Army, launched a counterattack on February 195 1- 13 against the U.S.-led United Nations troops and their South Korean (South Korean) troops in Hengcheng area.
Under the attack of the third battle of the Chinese and Korean People's Army, the United Nations troops retreated to the area near the 37th parallel of north latitude. In order to recover the defeat, from1951.25, under the unified command of Li Qiwei, commander of the Eighth Army of the US Army, a large-scale attack with Seoul as the main assault direction was launched on all fronts.
The People's Army of China and North Korea is determined to attack the west and counter the east: organize defense with one force on the western front to contain the main offensive groups of the United Nations army; Concentrate on the eastern front to carry out counter-offensive, threaten the enemy on the western front from the flank and stop their attack. Deng Hua, deputy commander of the Volunteer Army, commanded the 39th, 40th, 42nd and 66th Army (hereinafter referred to as Deng Group) to launch a counterattack in the direction of Hengcheng and Yuanzhou on the eastern front. The 2nd, 3rd and 5th Army Corps of the People's Army is responsible for covering the assembly of Deng Group, and preparing to launch a counterattack with the 3rd and 5th Army Corps on the left of Deng Group to the southeast of Hengcheng.
On June 365438+1October 3 1 day, the United Nations Army on the Eastern Front launched an attack in the direction of Hengcheng and Dipingli, and Deng Group immediately stopped it together with the 42nd Army and the 66th Army198th Division. On February 5-6, the main forces of the 39th Army from Levin, the 40th Army from Dongdouchuan and the 66th Army from Jinhua marched to the south of Xiangyangyuan and Hongchuan respectively, ready to fight back.
On the 9th, the 8th and 5th divisions of the South Korean Army and the 2nd division of the US Army pushed north of Hengcheng, with their flanks exposed, showing a prominent trend. Deng Group decided to seize the fighter plane, concentrate its forces on Dagu County and the 33-kilometer section to Sanjuli, and launch a counterattack to the northwest of Hengcheng. Adopt the tactics of combining two-wing assault with frontal attack, first annihilate the 8 th Division of the South Korean Army and the 2 nd Division of the US Army, and then develop the attack in the direction of Yuanzhou and Muxidong. Take the 39th Army (subordinate to 1 17 Division) as the reserve team to ensure the safety of the main right wing.
1 1, the main force of Deng Tuan entered the attack start area one after another and suddenly launched an attack on 17. After the 42nd Army (subordinate to126th Division, with117th Division) broke through, the right wing regiment of124th Division quickly captured Wu Shang 'anli, Cang Village and Lion Cave. The left wing regiment captured 726.6 and 53 1 highlands. 12 6: 00 sharp, the whole division left for Windward, Yaguli and Lion Cave, and then attacked Zuo Fu Cave and Guangtian. 1 17 division captured Cangcun, and attacked with 124 division.
At 0600 hours, 1000 more than a thousand South Korean soldiers were intercepted and attacked in Qindaili. After fierce fighting, more than 800 people were killed, wounded and captured. At 6: 30, the whole division reached the valley and the summer area, cutting off the retreat of the eighth division of the South Korean Army. 1 25th division (short of1regiment) joined the battle at dawn on 12, and entered Tian Jie and Huiyan Peak in the southwest of Hengcheng at 10 to intercept a south Korean army from Hengcheng. At this point, the 42nd Army cut off the connection between the main force of the 8th Division of the South Korean Army and the command post of Hengcheng Division, and occupied the area west and south of the Limuting-Guling Highway.
The 40th Army launched a surprise attack from the front from the lower Gao Dynasty and the new generation. After the left wing 1 18 division broke through, it quickly wedged into the depth of the South Korean army, disrupting the battle formation of the 8th division. The 352nd Regiment first inserted into Guangtian, and then occupied the 536.7 highland. In the area north of the 467.4 and 400 highlands, it cooperated with the 353rd Regiment to intercept some South Korean troops fleeing south from Cangfengli, killing and injuring more than 800 prisoners.
After the right wing120th division broke through, the 358th and 360th regiments captured Shengzhifeng, Limu Pavilion and 784th Highland at 4 o'clock on June 2nd, and the118th division contained the South Korean army face to face, which strongly supported its further development. At this point, the 40th Army completely occupied the Hengcheng-Longtouli Highway and the area north of Guangtian, and basically eliminated the 10 regiment and the 2 1 regiment of the 8th Division of the South Korean Army in this area.
The 66th Army didn't attack until 19-24 due to insufficient preparation. Right-wing 198 Division broke through Wuyin Mountain, occupied Cangfengli at 6 o'clock on 12, and immediately attacked Caotang, killing the South Korean Army 1 Artillery Company, and captured more than 200 American troops on the way. Left-wing 196 and 197 divisions broke through, and occupied Yang Di village and Xincun at 6 o'clock on 12, and once occupied Taohongshan.
After a night of fighting, Deng Group completed the division and encirclement of the eighth division of the South Korean Army and destroyed one of the divisions.
At 8 o'clock on June 5438+02, the 8th Division of the South Korean Army and the 9th Division of the 2nd Division of the US Army fled in the direction of Hengcheng under the cover of aviation. 10: 30, two battalions of the south Korean army sent from Hengcheng went to the north to help. With the cooperation of the 1 17 division, the Volunteer Army 1 18 division repelled the enemy who aided the north and stopped the enemy who tried to break through the valley in the summer. All of them were annihilated that day, killing and injuring more than 2,300 people. At this point, Deng clique wiped out all three regiments of the Eighth Division of the South Korean Army.
Because the 66th Army was blocked after entering Taohongshan and crossing Shifeng, it could not be inserted into Gaodeshan and Quqiaoli areas in time. After the 42nd Army125th Division entered Yan Hui Peak, it failed to cross the Zen River control point in time, resulting in the escape of the 2nd Division of the US Army, the 8th Division of the South Korean Army and the 3rd Normal University. The 3rd and 5th Legions of the People's Army launched a counterattack from the northeast of Hengcheng. On June 38+03, he entered the valley, Wuyuan and Xia 'anxingli areas in the southeast of Hengcheng, annihilated the 3rd and 5th divisions of the South Korean Army, and effectively cooperated with Deng Group's counterattack. On the morning of February 13, the counter-offensive in Hengcheng area ended. Just as the flesh and blood of China's 38th and 50th armies on the western front blocked the United Nations' counterattack to the north, the United Nations troops advancing northward in Hengcheng and Dingpingli on the eastern front advanced at a faster speed than the western front, so they stood out from the rest. This state on the battlefield makes Peng, who is very worried about the battlefield situation, suddenly feel that the opportunity to reverse the passive situation may come. Fighters on the battlefield are fleeting and must be seized and used decisively.
On February 5th, Peng ordered the 42nd Army and the 2nd and 5th Legions of the Korean People's Army to stop the United Nations troops from advancing northward on the eastern front, so as to relieve the pressure of the sniper troops in China on the western front. At the same time, the 39th Army, 40th Army and 66th Army under the command of Deng Hua were ordered to move eastward, waiting for an opportunity to find fighters.
Peng has a preliminary idea of counterattack on the eastern front, but he has not fully grasped it. On the western front of loyal opposition, the large corps was quickly concentrated on the eastern front, and a large-scale counterattack was carried out against the relatively weak South Korean troops. If the counterattack is successful, it will greatly alleviate the current situation of China's army losing ground, and may even prevent the United Nations from attacking. However, Peng knows very well that there are at least three conditions for organizing the counterattack on the eastern front: first, the position of the United Nations troops advancing northward on the eastern front has formed a trend of advancing; Second, the troops participating in the counterattack can reach the place where the fighting started in time; Third, this is also the most important thing, that is, the 38 th and 50 th armies of the United Nations Army were blocked on the western front, and they must be able to block the fierce American troops near the Han River. If the blockade of the western front collapses when large troops are transferred to the eastern front, then the whole front will face total collapse. On February 9, the posture of the United Nations troops on the eastern front was as follows: the 23rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the United States and a French battalion were blocked by the 42nd Army of China to the north of this group; South Korea's eighth and fifth divisions advanced to Fengshuiyuan, Shangcang Fengli, Ketong Cave and Mei Tian Lane north of Hengcheng; Further east, South Korea's 7th Division, 9th Division and Capital Division lag behind Xiazhen Fuli and Gangneung. At this point, the United Nations troops deployed in the terrace and Hengcheng have stood out from the whole line.
At this time, the 38th Regiment of the 2nd US Division, the Heying Regiment, the 2nd US Division Command and its 9th Regiment are still in Yuanzhou, the 7th US Division and the Airborne187th Regiment are behind, and the prominent United Nations troops on the eastern front are relatively isolated. China's 38th Army and 50th Army, which blocked the western front, retreated a little bit, but to a great extent, they delayed the American army's northward advance. The Eastern Legion under the command of Deng Hua has quickly reached the pre-war position. The fighter plane is mature! However, Peng still has a difficult choice. The United nations army has two prominent parts in the terrace and the hengcheng line. Which is better to fight first? Peng think twice before you act. He pointed out in his telegram to various armies on the 7th: "According to the current situation, it is advantageous to concentrate the main forces of the three armies to annihilate the enemy near the terrace first. Please ask Comrade Deng Hua to approach the headquarters of the 42nd Army as soon as possible so as to get in touch with all the armies. Please let Deng know how to deploy quickly. " Shortly after the telegram was sent, Peng suddenly changed his decision. He immediately sent another telegram to all the armies: (1) It is known that the enemy troops in the Dipingli area are the 2nd and 24th divisions of the United States, and the French battalion consists of eight to nine battalions. If I can't solve the battle by attacking the enemy for a day and night, the British 27th Brigade in Lichuan, the 6th Division in Korea, the 38th Regiment in the 2nd Division in the United States and the 7th Division in the United States near Yuanzhou can all come to help, and the 5th and 8th Divisions in Korea and the United States can all come to help. If I can't solve this battle in two days and two nights, the American troops on the Shui Yuan defense line may take out two or three divisions to take over from the east. In this case, if I can't eat any more, my situation will be very unfavorable, and this step must be fully estimated.
(2) In Gencheng area, it is known that the enemy troops are the 5th, 8th and187th airborne regiments of the 7th Division of the US Army, while the 5th and 8th Divisions of South Korea are weak, so I can concentrate on the 39th, 40th, 42nd and 66th Divisions of the People's Army, and have greater confidence in disintegrating the enemy troops. If the estimate is successful, we will expand to Yuanzhou and the south, which may disrupt the entire deployment of the enemy, which will be beneficial to our future actions ... The previous telegram proposed to hit the enemy near Hengcheng first, and this telegram decided to hit the enemy near Hengcheng first. If you have no comments, please make arrangements according to the specific situation. Peng's concern is obvious: No matter how superior China's army is in number, it is better to choose the South Korean army with weaker fighting capacity to fight against the powerful United States and France. Hengcheng's counterattack began on the evening of1951February 1 1.
Deng Hua Corps' first counter-attack target was the Eighth Division of South Korea in the northwest of Hengcheng. They expected to open the gap and attack the American defense line in Yuanzhou. The specific deployment is as follows: the 42nd Army (subordinate to the 39th Army-the 1 7th Division and 25th Regiment, and the artillery1battalion), with the124th Division and the17th Division as the pioneers, attacked the valley in the northwest of Hengcheng, added clouds up and down, and cut off the 8th South Korean Army. 125 division went out to Tian Li and Huiyan Peak in the southwest of Hengcheng to stop the possible assistance of the enemy's original state and cooperate with the 66th Army; 126 division is deployed in the north of the terrace and continues to contain the enemy in the terrace. The 40th Army (belonging to Battalions 1 3 of the 29th Artillery Regiment) attacked the 8th Korean Division in the northwest of Hengcheng from the front. The 66th Army attacked the southeast of Hengcheng with 196 and 1997 divisions, cutting off the enemy's retreat. The 39th Army is the reserve team, deployed in the southeast of Longtouli and approaching the terrace. If the enemy in the terrace flees south after the counter-offensive begins, they will resolutely pursue it.
On the afternoon of February 1 1, Peng personally telephoned the former commander of the People's Army and the heads of various armies and reported to Kim Il Sung: "In this battle, the volunteers fought from west to east with four main forces. The key to winning this battle is whether the People's Army and the 66th Army of the Volunteers can complete their retreat as scheduled. The victory of this campaign is to consolidate the previous victory, expand the international influence of the anti-aggression war between the Chinese and Korean armed forces, and win time for training and training troops. Otherwise, the enemy will destroy our army's rest plan. Therefore, this campaign is particularly important. Please tell the cadres at all levels and all the soldiers that everyone should give full play to their enthusiasm and overcome difficulties. Please be brave and tenacious in destroying the enemy! Long live the victory of the People's Army led by Mao Zedong and Kim Il Sung! " The rustic breath can't be vented. However, whether Peng's counterattack against Hengcheng can win and achieve the expected results is still not practical. After sending telegrams to various armies, he also sent a secret telegram to Mao Zedong, which read as follows: As the enemies who counterattacked on the terrace had considerable fortifications, it was estimated that the enemies on the terrace could not solve the battle in a day or two, and now they started attacking the 17th regiment, the 187th regiment and the 7th division of the 5th and 8th divisions of South Korea around Hengcheng at dusk on the 11th. If we can wipe out five or six regiments, it is estimated that we can temporarily stabilize the front for half a month. If the counterattack fails, the enemy will pursue it crazily. It is difficult for our army to gain a foothold in the 38th parallel. At present, we must resolutely fight back, strive for victory at all costs, gain time and stabilize the situation, otherwise it will be more costly and more difficult.
I don't know how Mao Zedong felt when he read this telegram. Peng was asked to immediately launch the fourth campaign to push the front of China's army south to the 36th line. But the current battlefield situation is that China's troops on the western front have to retreat to the north of the 38th parallel.
On the evening of February 1 1, four armies of China Army began to carry out large-scale counterattacks on Hengcheng area. The 40th Army of China was responsible for the frontal attack on the 8th Division of the South Korean Army. Wen Yucheng, commander of 40th Army, and Yuan Shengping, political commissar, put 18 Division and 120 Division in the position of the first echelon. The main assault force is the 1st18th Division under the command of young teacher Deng Yue. Wen Yucheng not only rationed the army's main artillery to this division, but also strengthened the 355th regiment of the 1 19 division as a reserve to Deng Yue. The tasks of 120 Division are: First, open the Victory Peak and 800 Highlands held by the Eighth Division of South Korea to ensure the safety of the flank on the attack route of 1 18 Division. This deployment is not surprising to all division commanders, because this is how previous battles were fought. There is a jingle among the soldiers of the 40th Army: 1 18 dozen, 1 19 Look, 120 turn. Deng Yue's 18 division once again proved the effectiveness of China's bold and circuitous divide-and-rule strategy.
When Deng Yue studied the map, he found that there was a zigzag intersection in front of the main attack direction of 1 18 division, which was obviously the only way for South Korean soldiers who were good at running for their lives to escape once the attack began. If you want to destroy more enemies without fighting, you must send troops to block this zigzag intersection. To the surprise of other officers in 18 division, Deng Yue broke the convention of inserting small troops, and he wanted to send a whole regiment to insert them. It is 25 kilometers from the starting line of the attack to the "Ya" intersection, and the interspersed troops must be inserted in place and occupy the intersection before dawn, so as to really block the rear road of the 2 1 regiment of the Eighth Division of South Korea.
A few years later, western military historians still praised the tactics of Deng Yue, a young teacher in China: two regiments broke through side by side from the front, and one regiment was interspersed among them. Dangerous chess! novel
The three regiments put in front of Deng Yue did not attack at the front, but cooperated with each other and covered each other: the 353 regiment was on the left and the 354 regiment was on the right, so as to break through the defensive positions of the 2 1 regiment of the Eighth Division of South Korea side by side, while the 352 regiment responsible for infiltration infiltrated between the two regiments and went straight into the enemy's rear. This is done to accelerate the rapid development of circuitous. Deng Yue doesn't believe that a 2 1 regiment in South China can resist the impact of three regiments of's army! The 352nd regiment is the main regiment in the hands of Deng Yue, and it is famous for its daring to fight and fight. Luo Shaofu, the head of this regiment, is an old Red Army and an old monitor of Deng Yue.
At the beginning of the counter-offensive, the 18 division rushed to the position of the south Korean army. The 353rd Regiment of the Left Wing broke through the defensive positions of two companies of the South Korean Army within one hour. It took only half an hour for the 2nd Battalion of the 354th Regiment of the Right Wing to capture the face-to-face sniper position and annihilate a reinforced company of the South Korean Army. While the two regiments were fighting fiercely, the 352nd Regiment quickly developed behind enemy lines. They didn't stop at the front, but when they passed a place called Shangyu Cave, the chief of staff, Leng Lihua, was killed by the enemy's sniper fire. Leng Lihua 1939 joined the army and was elected as a combat pacesetter three times. His death made the soldiers very sad.
352nd regiment, 7th company, interspersed with sharp knife company. They met a platoon of South Korean soldiers at the place where Leng Lihua died. Soldiers of the Seventh Company rushed to engage in fierce fighting, and no one survived in the entire South Korean search platoon. The 352nd Regiment gradually broke away from the front of the big army and went deep behind enemy lines alone. After entering a mountain, the North Korean guide got lost. Zhang Honglin, the seventh company commander, relied on the compass to lead the soldiers to forge ahead in the thick snow and maze-like ravines. They finally reached the highland marked on the map. On the highland, I saw a spark of smoke on the hill in front of me. The south Korean soldiers on the hill never imagined that 3000 south Korean soldiers passed quietly under their noses, dozens of kilometers away from the front line where the battle was going on.
At the end of this campaign, the 352nd Regiment destroyed 140 American-made cars, more than 20 howitzers and 10 anti-aircraft machine guns. The American army destroyed by the 352nd Regiment was an armored battalion of the 2nd Division of the United States. The battalion was ordered to reinforce the defeated South Korean Eighth Division. The U.S. military had no idea that it would be suddenly attacked by China's large forces dozens of miles away from the front line. The description of this battle in the war history data of the US military is that a certain regiment in South Korea was defeated, which once again caused heavy casualties. At that time, an American artillery company, under the cover of a motorcade, was marching north along a narrow path three miles northwest of Hengcheng, apparently without any flank protection. This unit will support South Korea's Eighth Division a few miles north. In the evening, the Chinese Communist army counterattacked, the South Korean army fled, and then the people of China suddenly flocked to the American artillery. Only three of the more than 500 people survived. A survivor returned to earth. Recalling the post-war scene, he said, "The people of China came at us at two o'clock in the morning. This place was riddled with bullets. The China man knocked down the driver in front and the whole train stopped. Everyone is in a hurry. As soon as one person falls, China people will immediately come and take his weapon. Someone shouted, "Here's one!" I set the fire, but it was just a tree. Someone shouted again: "Let's rush out from here! I feel dizzy, as if the whole world had exploded under my feet. There is blood everywhere. At that time, I knew I was finished ... they sent me and another 14 infantry to protect those cannons. We helped the cannon get into the motorcade, but only three people came back alive. "
In the counterattack of Hengcheng, another division of China created a masterpiece-a division of China army lost the most enemies and captured the most prisoners in a battle in the Korean War.
In the cross-city counterattack, the task of the 39 th Army is to contain the United Nations troops in the area of the terrace. According to Peng's instructions, in order to strengthen the assault force in the direction of Hengcheng, it was decided to transfer the 39th Army 1 17 Division to the 42nd Army. 1 17 division has the same task as 40th Army 1 18 division: fighting and crossing the river. 1 17 division got off to a bad start. After receiving the task wholeheartedly, Zhang, the division commander, immediately led the troops to the counter-offensive launching line.
Taking advantage of the moonlight, the whole division crossed the Han River safely. After marching for two consecutive nights, it finally approached the destination faucet. However, when approaching the dragon's head, the American night flight planes bombed continuously at a distance of about 10 km ahead, forming a tight blockade. Peng, the deputy division commander, was injured when organizing troops to break through the blockade. As soon as Jason Chenggang arranged for Jin Peng to be carried down, there was even more unfortunate news: Wu Shu, director of the Political Department, was seriously injured. Zhang immediately wholeheartedly organized people to carry them across the enemy blockade. In a private house, the doctor began to give him nerve rescue. Wu Shu was hit by shrapnel in the chest and head, and his uniform was soaked with blood. His breathing is weak and his face is pale. Suddenly, he reached out and shook a focused hand, called "Teacher …" and closed his eyes. The division branch Committee was opened in the faucet, and two standing Committee members were missing. The atmosphere is extremely heavy. Zhang once again reiterated the task of the whole division wholeheartedly: on 1 1 day and night, he entered the battle between the enemy and the enemy in Anli, detoured Yaosidian, Cangcun, and the first line to Xiahe Valley west of Hengcheng, and captured the favorable terrain on the west side of Xiahe Valley Highway before 7: 00 am on 12. Its deployment is: take 35 1 regiment as the pioneer to capture Xia highway, 349 regiment to capture the river valley, and 350 regiment as the division reserve.
1 1, China soldiers slept all day, ate dinner early, brought five days' dry food, and had enough ammunition. Everyone tied a white towel to their left arm. 16: 40, they entered a small village called Erchaili. It's snowing so hard that even Zhang, who personally took the Minister of Operations to explore the road, can't tell where the road is. This group of engineers found two North Korean guides, one from the avant-garde group and the other from the division headquarters.
17, the counterattack shot, and the frontal attack troops began to act. According to the instruction of the 42nd Military Command, the action of the 17 Division started at the same time as the frontal attack force, so Zhang ordered wholeheartedly: "Avant-garde regiment, let's go!"
-The 17th Division, with a team of 7,000 people, began to go deep into enemy lines on a large scale in the order of 35 1 regiment, division command post, 349 regiment, 350 regiment, organs and logistics detachment.
The houses on both sides of the road were burning in the bombing of enemy planes, and the smell of napalm was suffocating. 17 division marched along the highway, just like walking through a sea of fire. Half an hour later, the whole division entered the dark valley, and they quietly passed through the left wing of the position of the 16th regiment of the Eighth Division of South Korea. In addition to the sharp knife company constantly encountering the enemy's rank-scale search team, there was no big battle all the way, and the whole division continued to advance into the summer.
At midnight, Mr. Zhang suddenly received a report that the 35 1 group had gone the wrong way. After verification, Zhang immediately adjusted the deployment wholeheartedly. At this moment, the telegram of the 35 1 group came. They already knew that they had gone the wrong way and decided to climb the mountain in summer. Call from Deng Hua Command: attack force has gone deep into the enemy line, and the enemy has begun to retreat in the direction of Hengcheng. I hope that the troops will reach the blocking place within the specified time. The reconnaissance team of the division was ordered to catch a prisoner and ask about the situation. The reconnaissance team of the division searched the rugged mountain road and couldn't see anyone at all. I was in a hurry when I found an American telephone line in the snow. I walked along the telephone line and saw a small village near a house. I heard voices. It is an American. The platoon leader Wu waved and the reconnaissance team rushed over. The fighting soon ended, and more than 30 American soldiers were captured, all of them black. When asked, they are a black platoon of the ninth regiment of the second division of the United States, and they serve as the rear guards of the eighth division of South Korea. The soldiers of the 349th Regiment who followed him brought some prisoners, South Korean soldiers, and they all had a red cloth pocket, which was a sign of new recruits. All the prisoners stood in a daze in the snow, and they couldn't figure out where these China soldiers came from and how they could be captured behind the front line.
The troops moved on. Climbing over a mountain full of snow, the soldiers were exhausted when they reached the top. It's starting to dawn. Looking down the hill, a road stretches out. This is Hegu. There was silence on the road, and China soldiers knew that they had run in front of the wheels of enemy cars. It turns out that the avant-garde 35 1 regiment went the wrong way. When they realized this mistake, a group of stragglers climbed into their team, which was a group of collapsed South Korean soldiers. After playing for a while, the prisoner said that there was a shortcut in summer, so he let the prisoner lead the way. This is really a shortcut. It can be said that there is no road at all. South Korean soldiers stumbled in the snow behind the south Korean prisoners and almost rolled down the mountain. South Korean prisoners really brought the 535 1 regiment to summer. As soon as I got there, I saw rows of cars, as far as the eye could see. The reconnaissance team caught another prisoner. After interrogation, it was learned that the troops and some personnel of the 9 th Regiment of the 2 nd Division of the US Army withdrew from the 8 th Division of South China, and it was already known that the South Korean army had arrived here and was taking the highland by road. The first to arrive is 35 1 Tuan 2 battalion. Without hesitation, the second battalion immediately launched an attack. Although the number of enemies in front of us is at least twice that of the second battalion. China soldiers put fatigue and hunger behind them and rushed fiercely! American and South Korean soldiers reluctantly resisted, so China soldiers captured and killed more than 200 people, and China soldiers quickly occupied the highlands on both sides of the road. Scattered American soldiers and South Korean soldiers are hiding in a ravine near the highway.
It's already dawn. 35 1 how many China did Peng, the political commissar of the regiment, meet? More than 200 American prisoners, suddenly startled, quickly ordered the staff to take a team and a plane to strengthen the supervision of prisoners. -The 17th Division arrived at the interspersed destination half an hour in advance, thus blocking the enemy's retreat from the south of Hengcheng. Xue Fuli, head of the 349 regiment, ran between the hills and deployed troops to occupy all important locations. He heard someone shouting something at him. Looking back, eight South Korean soldiers are sitting not far away to keep warm! These south Korean soldiers have red stripes of recruits on their left arms. They regard Xue Fuli, wearing an American officer's hat and a South Korean officer's coat, as their leader. Xue Fuli went over, pulled out his pistol and fired. Two consecutive shots were duds, and the third shot rang. The South Korean soldier has run away (this South Korean soldier is really deadly).
Zhang told Xue Fuli wholeheartedly, "I saw enemy tanks running around, and I want to organize a tank battle! Block the road! " A monitor named Zhao Hongji, with several soldiers, got under a small bridge and attacked the tank. Two tanks that were blown up in succession blocked the road. At this point, the enemy fleeing south began to break through. -17 division started a tenacious blocking war.
The 35 1 regiment is at the forefront. The ninth regiment of the second division of the United States launched an all-out attack on the second battalion, with the fourth company at the front. They were trapped on the highway and shot at every car that tried to stand out. American troops continued to attack company positions, and the second platoon suffered heavy casualties. Only the platoon leader and two soldiers were left in the position, and they scuffled with the American soldiers who rushed up again until they died. Culture teacher and cook of company four. Trumpeters and correspondents are well organized and stubbornly stick to the main position of the company. After the company commander, instructors and all company cadres were all sacrificed, trumpeter Ma Deqi took the place of command and always held his post. After all the ammunition of the Third Company was exhausted, the soldiers used stones and bayonets to counter the American attack, but the American army never broke through the sniper position of 35 1 regiment. More and more enemies retreated from the north. Cars and tanks crowded miles of roads. When it was getting dark, three flares rose in the air, and the general attack of China's army began.
