The heavens start from Changjin Lake

Everyone told Deputy Commander Duan about the division commander's decision, but his opinion is still that it is best to stick to it and wait for help. Compared with the current terrain, it is much better than crossing the river. Give up the favorable terrain here and choose to break through. Not only will the advantage of the terrain be lost, but there are also many uncontrollable factors.

Deputy Teacher Duan was still holding a large file package in his hand at this time, and Teacher Zheng asked: "Old Duan, did you burn the documents that you were asked to burn?"

Deputy Teacher Duan sat down on the stool and said, "It's all burned. There are a few important documents in this bag, keep them for now."

Mr. Zheng took over the large file package from Deputy Mr. Duan, opened it, and found that there were many copies of the telegrams from the past two days. He resolutely said: "All these are burned, and I will keep a small map for breaking out. As soon as the enemy sees one, all our plans are revealed."

Deputy Commander Duan said: "Okay, I just happen to have half a can of seized American lighter fuel in my pocket, so I'll take it out and burn it now. I figured it out, and I agreed to break through. Commander, I'll come as soon as I go. came back."

It wasn't long before Deputy Teacher Duan's butt was touching the stool, and he stood up holding the document.

At this time, Commander Pang handed a briefcase to Master Zheng, and there was a line of English on it: Air forcepackages, which means Air Force document packages.

Deputy Teacher Duan was curious, grabbed it and opened the zipper. There were several sheets of paper inside, all in foreign characters.

Mr. Zheng smiled and said, "Heh, old Duan, do you understand? You insist."

Deputy Teacher Duan said, "I don't know how to write in foreign languages, so it's okay, Xiao Zhou, take a quick look, what's written here."

The air force document package was seized from the US P51 fighter jets that Xia Yuan, Yang Nanzhen, Wang Huzi and Wu Liang had shot down. In addition to the operational precautions and troubleshooting drawings, there was also a US military offensive strategy map.

As a general in a hundred battles, Mr. Zheng is very proficient in the homework on the map. He took it over and looked at it, and he understood it immediately. He said, "Old Pang, where did you get it?"

Commander Pang replied: "Teacher, four people under his command shot down a US fighter jet in the morning. They should have found it from the plane. The pilot is dead. I can't understand it either, so I'll give it to you."

Commander Wang pushed Commander Pang, and said excitedly: "Okay, old Pang, your infantry has caught up with anti-aircraft machine guns, so tell us how you fought, so I can tell the soldiers when I go back. "

Commander Pang laughed and said, "It was the machine gun company of the first battalion that fired it. I'm also curious about how it happened, but according to the little soldier who sent the documents, the company commander led them to fight."

"The company commander?"

Everyone was surprised.

"One battalion and one company commander of the [-]th Regiment."

Mr. Zheng is looking at the document, and it sounds familiar.

Deputy Teacher Duan immediately thought of it: "Xia Yuan, is it Xia Yuan?"

"Yes, it's him. The former company commander of the first company died, so he led the first company, division commander, deputy division commander, haven't you seen it? This kid is very good at fighting. He bombed the enemy's artillery positions, obtained supplies, and fought fortified positions. , interspersed, it's all very powerful."

Commander Pang felt a little emotional for a while, "After so many years of fighting, this is the first time I have seen such soldiers. I heard from the wounded in their company that the company commander is not only good at shooting, but also can kill the enemy from a long distance away. The machine gun bunker, the grenade is also thrown very badly, that guy can throw the grenade as a shell.”

"Hahahaha, this kid, just after he left the division, he did such a big thing for me, and he has made great achievements again!"

Master Zheng laughed. He had already read the whole picture and understood that the enemy plane's primary task was to continuously bomb the front troops of the [-]th Division. Ye Ban gradually devoured the [-]th Division.

At this time, the radio station has resumed operation, and they have received an order from the military department.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the new combat order issued by the No. 60 Army is to stick to it and wait for reinforcements, with troops on the side and rear.

The situation on the battlefield was quite unfavorable for the 24th Division. The [-]th US Division captured Jiancun, and the [-]th US Division broke through the positions of the [-]st and [-]nd Battalions of the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Division in Xishangli and Wukou Nanli. Then they occupied Mapingli, cut off the retreat route of the [-]th Division, and passed the side and rear of the [-]th Division, went forward to Zhiyan Village and Tanganli to continue the northward invasion.After the Sixth Han Division occupied Jiguan Mountain, it continued to attack northward, forming a four-sided siege to the [-]th Division.Commander Zheng has been convinced that the [-]th Division is surrounded by the enemy on all sides, and quickly reported the situation to the military headquarters.

The decision to break out to the south was rejected by the military. At present, there are only two ways for the [-]th Division to choose. One way is to retreat from the direction of Tuidongli to Mapingli, and the other way is to break out from Yingfeng.There is no way to leave the retreat cave. Up to now, there has been no movement from the [-]th Division. According to the news sent back by the scouts, the retreat cave has also been occupied by the US military.

Choosing to break out from the direction of the retreat hole is not a correct choice.

After much deliberation, Mr. Zheng plans to try to break out from Yingfeng.

At the meeting of the regiment headquarters of the [-]th Regiment, Master Zheng re-emphasized his arrangements for breaking out at night to everyone.At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, the deputy chief of the combat department, Wang, conveyed the mission of breaking out to the regiments.

The specific method of play is that the whole division is divided into two groups to break through, one with the 400th Regiment as the vanguard, the team directly under the division and the [-]th Regiment in the rear to break through in order. During the meeting just now, the [-]th Regiment was attacked by the enemy's fierce artillery fire , suffered heavy casualties, many companies were dispersed, and some rushed to the enemy-occupied areas to fight guerrillas. Now there are only more than [-] people left, and they are temporarily reduced to a battalion. The first battalion commander Zhou Fuxin will be the battalion commander and lead the team For the whole way, approach Yingfeng via Hongji Ridge.

The Korean political commissar of the [-]th Regiment drew up another company and divided it into six groups to find the scattered personnel to return to the team.

The moisture in the battery seems to have dropped a lot. As soon as the working light of the radio station came on, Xiao Yi, the correspondent, immediately informed the division commander. Division commander Zheng asked them to send a telegram to the military headquarters for instructions. After repeated research, the division headquarters decided to break through to Yingfeng. Maybe there is still a company of them standing firm, please ask the army for approval.

Sixty Army Military Headquarters.

"Commander, it's connected! It's connected! The radio station of the [-]th Division is transmitting!"

Suddenly, an excited call came from the correspondent.

Everyone in the military department came over immediately, and Commander Wei immediately said: "Quickly copy it!"

The air was a little frozen, only the beeping sound of the radio station kept ringing. After the telegram was copied and received, the translator translated it and handed it to Commander Wei. Commander Wei read the telegram in his hand. After reading it for a long time, he said: " Call a military meeting immediately!"

The matter is of great importance, and the head of the army attaches great importance to it, and it may be related to the fate of the [-]th Division.

The meeting was very short. Considering that the radio signal of the [-]th Division might be interrupted at any time, Commander Wei immediately announced the positions of the [-]th Division and the [-]st Division. The enemy's defense is very solid, and it is regarded as indestructible. It is obviously impossible to open a gap from the outside of the cave. The most important thing is that the [-]th Division faces two enemies, one is the US Seventh Division , and the other is the First Marine Division.

Facing the defense of the two divisions, the progress of the [-]th Division was very slow, and it was basically impossible to destroy this tortoise shell.

In other words, it is very difficult to meet the [-]th Division from the direction of the cave, unless the [-]th Division breaks out from the inside.

However, after careful research, the current situation of the [-]th Division is quite serious. It has been out of food for several days, and there is a shortage of food and ammunition. Even the division can't open the gap, how could the [-]th division open the gap.

So, this way is not going to work.

Commander Wei and the others discussed the plan to go south that they had previously rejected.

Even less desirable.

Although the enemy's rear forces are loose, the situation of the 24th Division is not good, and the rear is deep into the enemy's abdomen. In order to support the front-line US Seventh Division, First Marine Division, Korean Sixth Division and US [-]th Division, the roads behind the enemy may all be opened Now, if we really want to go south, the enemy's mechanized troops will have room to play.

It is also the most critical point. The [-]th Division has been out of food for several days, and the span to the south is very large. How can the soldiers travel long distances and fight continuously.

The plan to go south was rejected again, and in the end only the order requested by the [-]th Division could be considered.

This seemed to be the final plan of the [-]th Division.

As soon as the meeting was over, Commander Wei got up and immediately greeted the correspondent: "Tell them that the Military Commission agrees that the headquarters of the [-]th Division should break out of the encirclement to the northwest and gather at Yingfeng. We must emphasize again that we must cross the road and reach the north of Mapingli. Our army position, when the time comes, I will arrange troops to meet them!"

The correspondent tapped the Morse key with the most proficient technique. But this situation did not last long, and the correspondent suddenly found that he could not find the radio signal of the [-]th Division.

"Oops! Commander, their communication was interrupted again. Something must have happened, but what I'm sure of is that I have sent the order you want to convey."

Commander Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You continue to search for them, hurry up, hurry up!"

The [-]th Division meant that the battery of the radio station in the clubhouse was dead again. Fortunately, the translator Zhao Guobang recorded Commander Wei's message as quickly as possible and handed it to Commander Zheng.

The military department agreed to their order to break out to Yingfeng.

At this moment.

Shiji!

Both the radio and the phone were calling like crazy. The commander held on to the square table, motionless, his face was like a stone. The noisy phone didn't interrupt his thinking, and his eyes were fixed on the large-scale map on the wall.

"Hey, hey! Okay, I'll tell the general right away."

"Why are your troops still here? Hurry up! Hurry up! The enemy is about to catch up!"

"What? No matter how fierce the artillery fire is, you have to hold on! You have to make a gap and let the follow-up troops pass first! Yes, you must move quickly, and you must not give the enemy a chance to catch the tail!"

Several combat staff officers kept shouting into the microphone
This is a command post transformed from an abandoned gold mine tunnel. Compared with the US military headquarters, it is not so luxurious. It is really a world of difference.

Several radio stations and several telephones are constantly working on four wooden tables. This may be the simplest headquarters in the world at that time. Just like the command post of the grassroots troops, there are a few ammunition boxes piled up on the open space. As a chair, this is for everyone to sit or rest.

A few telephone wires hang from the ends of the walls to hang military jugs.

There is no cheese, bread, big fish and meat, and no red wine. There are only a few boxes of compressed biscuits and cold water. This kind of condition is completely beyond the imagination of the enemy. They would never have thought of it. Their biggest enemy, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army is so simple. .

The general is here to command the cruelest war in the world. He is fighting wits and courage with Li Qiwei, the commander-in-chief of the United Nations Army. What he is fighting for is the command art of the two sides that has been trained on the battlefield for a long time, and even the courage and courage to annihilate each other.

The general stood quietly in front of the map, unmoving, his face was like a stone, his thinking eyes were particularly sharp, he was changing the situation of the eastern and western hemispheres bit by bit, and thus changing the whole world.

As early as May 22, just after the offensive of the first-line troops of the Volunteer Army stopped, Van Fleet, commander of the U.S. Eighth Army, launched a swift counterattack. , He ordered Almond's Tenth Army Niuman vanguard task force to insert behind the retreating volunteer army.

The heavy armored detachment of the Niuman Pioneer Task Force is all mechanized. The infantry do not need to walk at all, and all ride motorcycles. It took them only three hours to penetrate more than 20 kilometers, seize the ferry bridge, and lay an ambush on the Shaoyang River in advance In this way, the connection between Commander Song's Ninth Corps and the [-]th Division, which had just won the battle on the Eastern Front, was cut off by the middle.

The U.S. follow-up troops immediately followed up and outflanked the 27th Army and the [-]th Army that were stranded near the [-]th line. In this way, the right wings of the [-]th Army and the [-]th Army on the center line were also completely exposed.

By May 24, the headquarters of the 27th Army and its two divisions, the [-]th Army and the [-]th Division of the [-]th Army were all intercepted and cut off south of the [-]th parallel by the US military.

The U.S. military learned and used the tactics of the Volunteer Army, interspersed, divided and encircled, causing the ties between the various units of the entire Volunteer Army to be completely broken.However, many ace troops of our army who have been battle-tested in the country are still fighting bravely and breaking through tenaciously. Most of them rushed out of the encirclement of the US military without any danger.

Many of the troops that broke out were chaotic for a while while being pursued by the enemy, but the troops still made great strides forward.

Li Qiwei kept sending power to the commanders of the various armies, urging them not to slack off, but to pursue the victory.Of course, Almond of the Tenth Army also received such a telegram. In addition, he was rescued by Ridgway before. All in all, he has been trying his best to gnaw at the tough bone of the [-]th Division.

The four divisions fought abruptly for almost a week, and the progress was still slow, but they also completed the encirclement of the [-]th Division.

An hour ago, the general ordered the eight armies to spread out across the board and carry out a blockade, which stabilized the position. Now, the fierce offensive momentum of our army and the US army has once again shown a confrontation. (end of this chapter)
