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

Of course, he also told this method to friendly forces in other units, but their immediate superiors did not take He Yuzhu's method seriously, so they suffered heavy losses.

At night, the entire front line was pitch black.

The temporary position of the US military on the opposite side was brightly lit.

At this time, the volunteer soldiers on the 113th Division's position were exhausted. They huddled in the trenches and did not move.

They all want to have a comfortable sleep and drink some hot soup, but the conditions do not allow it.

The US troops on the side are still watching covetously, and no one knows when they will launch the next round of attack.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, when the volunteer soldiers were tired and sleepy, suddenly a huge flare fell from the sky, directly illuminating the entire night sky.

The US troops on the front line made new moves. They began to take advantage of the Volunteer Army's most exhausted time and continued to attack, attacking the position of the 113th Division.

This time, their number was greater than during the day, and He Yuzhu was also awakened by the sudden gunshots.

Then he looked towards the front of the position. Under the moonlight in the night sky, a dark crowd was slowly approaching the position. With his sharp eyes, he could tell at a glance that these were the American reinforcements that had arrived.

The shadows of the United Nations and South Korean forces were visible in the night, and the enemy's third large-scale offensive began.

At this time, sporadic gunfire was heard again on the 113th Division's position. He Yuzhu could clearly feel that everyone was almost reaching their limit.

After not eating for a day and being extremely tense, not only the volunteers, but He Yuzhu himself was almost at his limit.

Just as they were counterattacking, He Yuzhu discovered that a large number of people appeared behind their position.

This made him wonder, could it be that these American troops were airborne and came to double-team them from the front and back? If that was the case, then their entire 113th Division would have to die here.

As those figures approached from the rear of the position, He Yuzhu looked at the soldiers' attire and realized that they seemed to be friendly forces.

The volunteers who came to reinforce jumped into the trenches swiftly and quickly joined the counterattack. It turned out that they were soldiers from the 40nd Regiment of the 262th Army who were ordered to reinforce. With the addition of these fresh forces, the firepower of the 113th Division suddenly became fierce.

Soon, the US Joint Forces were hit head-on by the Volunteer Army again. After an hour-long fierce battle, the third large-scale attack of the US Joint Forces was repelled again.

At dawn the next day, the volunteer soldiers of the 113th Division on the front line temporarily evacuated their positions in an orderly manner and in batches to the rear, and the defense of this area was temporarily handed over to the 262nd Regiment.

Their move was not to abandon their positions, but to take a temporary rest and resupply, because the high-intensity combat had already reached the limits of the soldiers.

He Yuzhu and others returned to the temporary barracks behind the position and fell asleep immediately.

Five hours later, He Yuzhu and others woke up with a loud assembly call.

Everyone gathered in the open space, and the kitchen staff immediately started cooking fried flour and baked potatoes.

Each of them quickly picked up a handful and put it in their pockets, then returned to the front line.

Some soldiers developed serious stomach problems due to eating this stuff for a long time. They would vomit continuously after eating just one bite.

But now there is no liquid food and no medicine, so I can only endure the stomach pain and continue to persevere.

He Yuzhu quietly took out the piece of bacon from the system space, cut a little bit of it, put it back secretly, and ate it directly with flour. With meat in the mouth, the feeling was naturally different.

He didn't dare to share this time. After all, the bacon was only a small piece and not enough to share. It would be better to replenish his energy and strength.

On the front line, their 113th Division and the 262nd Regiment constantly adopted a rotation method to guard the positions. Every day, a large number of volunteer soldiers were killed or wounded, mainly due to enemy artillery fire, stray bullets, bad weather and extremely poor eating conditions.

War is also a battle of logistics. Without guaranteed logistics, large-scale casualties among soldiers are inevitable.

The 113th Division had been defending for a whole week and was out of ammunition and food. The 1th Division, which originally had more than 1 people at the end of the third battle, has now been reduced to less than a man, and the 8000nd Regiment has also suffered heavy casualties.

Fortunately, at this time, the 38th Army Headquarters sent a telegram stating that the initial defense mission had been completed and all personnel withdrew from the defense line and retreated to the second defense line 10 kilometers away, where the 112th Division was there to provide support.

After receiving the retreat order, the division commander Jiang Chao immediately commanded the volunteer soldiers of the 113th Division to evacuate the area in an orderly manner.

The 3rd and 4th Divisions of the US Joint Forces also cheered when they saw the volunteer soldiers who had resisted them for a week withdraw from the battlefield.

In fact, it was not that the Volunteer Army was defeated, but that it was delaying the enemy's offensive and progress by retreating and blocking in batches, buying time for other corps in the rear to rush to the front.

Because the area around Seoul is all plains, there is no geographical advantage, and the supply lines are very long, it is not suitable for large-scale corps combat. On the contrary, the more mechanized US Joint Forces have an advantage.

As the 113th Division retreated to the 112th Division's second line of defense, the 3rd and 4th Divisions of the US Joint Forces, which were in hot pursuit, were once again blocked in front of the line of defense.

No matter what means they used, it was of no avail. They were firmly nailed here and could not move forward.

As for the volunteer troops on other fronts, they also suffered a frenzied counterattack from the US Joint Forces. Although both sides had their own achievements, overall, the US Joint Forces still had a slight advantage.

On February 1951, 2, in order to cope with the fierce offensive of the US-Jiangsu Joint Forces, the Chinese Volunteer Army and the North Korean People's Army concentrated their forces and planned to use space to buy time tactics. They directly extended from the north of the Han River to the area of ​​​​Hengcheng, near the "17th Parallel", and deployed a total of three lines of defense. The expected goal was to hold each line of defense for 25 days, and strive to hold out for 2 months to prepare for the subsequent Volunteer Army Corps assembly and subsequent counterattack.

Only two days later, the US Joint Forces took the lead in launching a full-scale general offensive against the first line of defense. However, due to the tenacious resistance of all members of the Volunteer Army, their progress was very slow. It took them half a month to push the front line to the Hengcheng area.

On March 3, the US Joint Forces concentrated the forces of five armies and launched another fierce attack on the Volunteer Army's second line of defense, but they were once again defeated by the Volunteer Army's tenacious resistance.

It took another half a month to capture the Gaoyang area.
