Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

At 5 o'clock in the evening, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the North Korean People's Army, according to the original plan, launched a full-scale general offensive against the defense line built by the United Nations Army and the South Korean Army.

The 38th Army where He Yuzhu was located was the main force participating in the war, and it marched rapidly towards Dongchangli at dawn.

In order to deal with the harassment from enemy aircraft in the air, the volunteer soldiers of their 38th Army used the branches and white snow along the way as camouflage and successfully deceived the American planes overhead and rushed to the assembly point.

This time, the Volunteer Army concentrated more than a hundred artillery pieces for the first time and launched a intensive artillery attack on the enemy positions.

Under the intensive artillery fire of the Volunteer Army, the originally impregnable defense line of the United Nations and South Korean troops was instantly torn open.

The various units of the Volunteer Army, in conjunction with the North Korean People's Army, used this as a breakthrough point and began to repeatedly infiltrate the local defense lines.

As the various units of the Volunteer Army were deployed across the board, the third campaign to resist the US and aid Korea officially began.

In just half a day, the South Korean army was defeated and prepared to flee southward.

The Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the North Korean People's Army were also behind them, chasing closely. The mission of the 38th Division of the 113th Army this time was to seize the Chibong Mountain and cooperate with the friendly 117th Division to encircle and suppress the South Korean 2nd Division located in the encirclement.

However, along the way, the 113th Division was constantly harassed by small groups of enemies, which seriously affected its marching speed. It would be difficult to occupy Qifeng Mountain within the designated time and encircle and suppress the fleeing South Korean 2nd Division.

To this end, the division commander Jiang Chao and the political commissar Yu Jingshan believed that it was necessary to send an advance force to occupy Qifeng Mountain first and block the South Korean 2nd Division that was fleeing here frantically.

However, this task was very difficult, and Jiang Chao immediately thought of the guard company that performed outstandingly in the Battle of Songgufeng.

The guard company commander Liu Fusheng was found immediately.

Liu Fusheng was quite surprised to see that the division commander Jiang Chao came to see him personally. He immediately stood up and saluted.

"Commander, why are you here? Do you have any orders?"

Jiang Chao nodded.

"Fusheng, this is what happened. Since your company performed very well in the Battle of Huogu Peak, the division now has a very important mission for your company. I hope you can temporarily leave the 113th Division, and all members should go into battle lightly. At a rapid march, you can seize Qifeng Mountain before nightfall and snipe the South Korean Second Division that is fleeing south. Is that a problem?"

Liu Fusheng knew that this was a very difficult task, but he did not refuse because his duty as a soldier was to obey.

He immediately patted his chest and assured Jiang Chao,

"Master, please leave it to me. I know what to do."

Afterwards, Liu Fusheng immediately assembled the entire guard company of 120 soldiers, and He Yuzhu, as the platoon leader, was naturally on the far left of the team.

Liu Fusheng also conveyed the division's combat order as soon as possible.

He Yuzhu felt mixed emotions after hearing this combat order. He was happy that the opportunity to achieve success had come again, but he was worried that he would have to go through the gates of hell again.

Company commander Liu Fusheng seemed to see He Yuzhu's worry and stepped forward to pat him on the shoulder.

"Zhu Zi, come on! After you successfully complete the task this time, I want to drink the broth you cooked yourself."

He Yuzhu nodded after hearing this.

"Captain, what are you talking about? We will definitely complete the mission brilliantly and return safely, don't worry."

Then the two of them looked at each other meaningfully.

The guard company directly broke away from the 113th Division and went out lightly, heading towards the mountain path beside the mountain, leaping up and moving quickly through the woods.

As the platoon leader and a veteran of the guard company, He Yuzhu was naturally at the front of the team.

These past few days, after practicing the Five Animals Exercises, he could indeed feel a slight change in his physical condition. Although it was not very obvious, he could feel it.

His originally childish face now looks weathered, and his originally weak eyes have become extremely firm. Perhaps this is what he looks like after having killed people on the battlefield and going through the test of life and death and war.

Because it was a forced march, all the soldiers in the guard company were lightly equipped, with each person only carrying one day's worth of dry food.

At this time, the entire mountain range was pitch black, without any lights. After a long journey throughout the night, the soldiers of the guard company finally arrived at Qifeng Mountain before one o'clock in the morning of the next day.

However, they were still a step too late. The fleeing South Korean 2nd Division could already be seen at the foot of Chilbong Mountain.

The Second Division was seen dragging its sparse troops and fleeing to the south like a stray dog.

Seeing this, the guard company commander Liu Fusheng hesitated. Although the enemy was a defeated army, it was initially estimated that when the South Korean Second Division was fully staffed, there would be nearly half of them. Although it seemed less than half now, there were still at least some people.

However, there are only 120 of them, and they are all lightly armed. The gap in strength between the enemy and us is huge. Fighting a sniper war now is undoubtedly like hitting a rock with an egg.

Seeing that Liu Fusheng had not made any movement, He Yuzhu immediately came to him and asked about the details.

"Captain, what's wrong with you? The enemy is right below us, why don't you snipe them?

If this continues, the South Korean 2nd Division will escape right under our noses."

Liu Fusheng heard this and understood the concerns behind He Yuzhu's words, but he was helpless now and immediately replied to him,

"Zhu Zi, I understand what you mean, but we only have about 120 people, and we are all light firepower. If we open fire rashly, the South Korean Second Division will counterattack directly on the spot, and then our guard company will have to die here today."

When He Yuzhu heard Liu Fusheng's concerns, he knew that what he said made sense, but the battlefield was not a game of house and opportunities for battle were fleeting.

He Yuzhu observed the surrounding terrain and instantly had a bold idea.

"Captain, how about this? We split the entire company into three groups, front, middle and rear, and take turns attacking downwards, focusing on their baggage truck convoy, using the cover of night.

In this way, the other side will most likely not be able to figure out our strength and will not rashly organize a counterattack.

Moreover, the South Korean army is notoriously cowardly, and now their morale is low, like a frightened bird. After our ambush, they will definitely think of fleeing in all directions. So for us, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We can't hesitate any longer and must attack, otherwise the mission assigned to our company by the division commander will not be completed. "

Liu Fusheng changed his mind and still hesitated.

He Yuzhu saw that Liu Fusheng was a little hesitant, so he immediately used his ultimate move.

"Captain, we can't hesitate any longer. Think about our old captain. The honor of the guard company cannot be ruined in our hands."
