Siheyuan: Spring and Autumn

Looking at the 4th Company, many soldiers drove cars to move out of the city. Not only that, after they moved the cars in the east of the city, they followed Zhang Feng to other places in the city to continue transferring the captured tanks and cars.

It can be said that after this battle, the 116th Division became the first motorized unit of the Volunteer Army, and its combat effectiveness was improved dramatically!

After interrogation, it was learned that the four planes were sent by the US Military's Far East Headquarters. The planes were carrying journalists from the consolation delegation, and the fighter jets were used to provide escort.

Unexpectedly, before they even met the officers and soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division, they had already become prisoners of the Volunteer Army.

War is indeed the best way to train people. On this night of victory, Qin Zheng officially entered the perfection of the Great Circulation. In his Dantian, the internal energy was churning and swirling. The strength of his arms increased by another 200 pounds, and all functions of his body improved.

He was naturally aware that the earlier the stage, the faster the progress would be, and with a chance, it would be possible to advance to a higher realm.

However, the later it gets, the harder it becomes to make progress and the longer it takes. It may take years or even decades to reach the next level.

But no matter what, his current combat potential is enormous. Perhaps in the entire volunteer army, there are only a handful of people who can compare with him.

There are many masters and strong men in the army, and there are many people whose internal strength has reached the level of Ming Jin and An Jin, but he is also very confident. After all, he possesses a powerful weapon, space.

At dawn, the fighting near Yunshan was basically over. The 2nd Battalion received an order to gather the troops, rescue the wounded, and evacuate the captured spoils, while other main forces continued to pursue the fleeing enemy.

And ahead, at Zhuren Bridge and Longtou Cave, the battle is still going on.

After daybreak, a large number of aircraft flew over the Yunshan position. However, they found that many places were not clear. However, they knew that the place covered with smoke should be where the aircraft were.

"They are just trying to cover up their mistakes!"

"That's right, this is deceiving yourself!"

"This is just an attempt to cover up the truth!"

"That's taking off your pants to fart!"

Inside the plane, the pilots were talking to each other with mocking looks on their faces. They were in high spirits, they were in high spirits, they were full of fighting spirit, they...

Of course, they definitely don’t know how to pronounce the idiom, but that’s what it means!

The planes began to lay eggs, and the smoke-filled area was the focus of their attention. Some heavy weapons and vehicles that had already been destroyed were blown into pieces, and even the wounded who had been abandoned by them were killed.

As a result, the pilots completed the mission quickly and efficiently and returned to the airport happily!

The first battle of the Volunteer Army in Korea ended. The second commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces invading Korea, Ridgway, wrote in his memoirs:

The battle of Unsan lasted all night, with frequent close combat, and its intensity was unprecedented in previous wars. At 10 p.m., the U.S. 1st Army went on the defensive for the first time since leaving the Busan perimeter. That night, the 8th Cavalry Regiment guarding Unsan was attacked from three sides. However, it was not until the order to retreat was received that the U.S. Army realized that the retreat had been cut off. A strong Chinese force blocked the main road before noon that day. They firmly controlled the position, and the reinforcement of the 5th Cavalry Regiment attacked many times, but never succeeded.

If we say that the first battle was the Volunteer Army showing off its strong muscles to the United Nations Army, it would have broken the myth of the invincibility of the US Army in one fell swoop.

The second battle that followed was the one that turned the tide of the war in Chao X.

When Qin Zheng followed the large army southward, he was still immersed in the joy of being received by the division commander. He did not know that his name had spread throughout the Zhisi, and even General Peng and the leader knew his name.

At the same time, he was promoted and became the monitor of Class 2.

In the first battle, Squad 1 lost more than half of its troops, leaving only 4 people, while all the members of Squad 2 were killed.

Before the troops set off, Wang Huasheng reorganized Class 2 and appointed Qin Zheng as the squad leader. However, he only had two people under him, one named Liu Guxin and the other named Xu Hanmin. Both were temporarily transferred from other classes and were said to have good skills.

Although a lot of cars were seized, most of them, along with airplanes, howitzers, and tanks, were transferred away by the Zhisi, and the rest were taken away by the army and division headquarters. They could only march on foot, and the marching direction was Beilidong.

At this time, the situation on the ChaoX battlefield is changing rapidly!

MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the UN forces, was an extremely arrogant man. Even though the US army suffered a major defeat in the Battle of Unshan, he still did not realize the seriousness of the matter. He even took a plane for a sightseeing tour over the Yalu River, and then promised the soldiers through the radio and newspapers that the war would end before Christmas.

In order to cooperate with his Christmas offensive, the fierce 25th M Division rushed northward and formed a Dorwin Task Force to rush to the front. They rushed very quickly and were located at the northernmost end of the US military front. Opposite them was the 39th Army.

The 25th M-1950 Division was known as the "best fighting machine" and was a beastly army similar to the Japanese army. On July 7, 26, the division, together with the 1st M- Cavalry Division, committed the horrific "Laogenli Massacre", in which hundreds of refugees were massacred.

Don’t think that this task force has few people and weak strength!

On the contrary, the task force is very strong!

由米89坦克营B连、火器排、侦察排、米25师直属侦察连，米27团2营E连、米35团1营B连等单位编成，还额外配属了游骑兵第8213连，游骑兵8213连是特种兵，特遣队兵力1000多人。

At this time, the vanguard of the task force had crossed the Jiulong River and reached Shiyu and Lishishangdong, and part of it had even advanced to Shangjiudong.

When the 25th M-39th Division arrived at the battlefield, the various units of the th Army were still far away and unable to ascertain the current enemy situation.

The military sage Sun Tzu pointed out: "He who arrives at the battlefield first and waits for the enemy is at ease, while he who arrives at the battlefield later and rushes into battle is tired."

How to fight this battle is a test for the 39th Army.

The 39th Regiment of the 115th Division, the vanguard regiment of the 345th Army, faced the Galvin Task Force head-on and fought alone for a day, defeating the 8213th Ranger Company and Company E of the 27th Regiment of the US Army, blocking the US Army's advance and ensuring that the main force of the 39th Army reached the designated area.

The Dorvin Task Force was hit and two companies lost their combat effectiveness. After suffering a heavy loss, they urgently asked for help, hoping that the Mi-24 Regiment closest to them could save their brothers.

During the day on the 26th, in view of the poor performance of the Dolvin Task Force, Major General Keane, commander of the 25th M Division, ordered the 24st Battalion of the 1th M Regiment in Shangjiudong to be incorporated into the task force sequence, which was commanded by Brigadier General Wilson, deputy commander of the 25th Division, and renamed the Wilson Task Force.

At 26 p.m. on the 3th, based on the overall situation, the Zhisi ordered the 39th Army to launch a local counterattack, striving to encircle and annihilate part of the US troops in front of it, and clamp down on the 25th US Division to ensure the battle of the 40th, 38th, and 42nd Armies on the left wing.

At this time, the 39th Army had basically ascertained the current enemy situation and ordered the main force of the 115th Division to attack Shangjiudong from the north, and one regiment to attack Luohandong to cover the flank;

One regiment of the 116th Division attacked from the northeast to Shangjiudong, cooperating with the 1th Division. The main force of the division attacked and advanced along the line of Shangcaodong southwest of Shangjiudong.

The 117th Division attacked eastwards through Guilin Cave to protect the flanks and rear of the 116th Division, and used part of its forces to feint an attack on Lishi in order to pin down and block the enemy reinforcements.

The 39th Army planned to gather three divisions to encircle and annihilate the Wilson Task Force and the 24th Mi Regiment in the area east of the Jiulong River.

Therefore, the 116th Division ordered the 348th Regiment to cross the Jiulong River through Guilin Cave, detour to the south to seize Hill 110 on the south side of Shangcao Cave, and guard the enemy in Lishi with part of the regiment.

Upon receiving the order, the 348th Regiment set out at 26:15 on the th and subsequently arrived near Guilin Cave.

But before that, after reconnaissance, they found that there were more than 200 enemies here. What should they do? Fight or not?

Speed ​​is of the essence in war. The commander of the 116th Division, Wang Yang, thought that if they fought, time would definitely be delayed and the 348th Regiment would find it difficult to complete the task of infiltrating the flank of the American army in Xiangcaodong.

So the order was given not to fight, but to advance via a small path east of Guilin Cave and the mountains east of Jiulong River.

Then came another eight hours of forced march.

Qin Zheng had no idea that an interesting thing happened during their march.

More than 24 black men from the 39th Regiment's C Company were surrounded by the 116th Company of the 347th Regiment of the 4th Division of the th Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army. Seeing no hope of breaking out, C Company raised the white flag and surrendered.

Several soldiers of our volunteer army had just stood up and decided to surrender when they were suddenly attacked by the enemy, resulting in the death of the squad leader of the 4th squad of the 4th company and several soldiers being injured.

Feeling deceived, the volunteer soldiers immediately increased the intensity of their attack, forcing the enemy to flee in panic.

The instructor of the 4th Company, Zhou Fengming, saw through the telescope that almost all the American soldiers on the opposite side were black. Zhou Fengming had some understanding of the status of black soldiers in the US military, so he decided to ask a cultural instructor who was proficient in English to persuade them to surrender.

The cultural teacher first told the blacks about the Volunteer Army's prisoner policy, emphasized the racial discrimination in the United States, enumerated the various injustices suffered by the blacks in the US military, told them: It is not worth dying for such a government and army, do not believe the lie of "going home before Christmas", and urged the blacks to surrender.

Then, a dramatic scene occurred. Stanley, the black company commander of Company C, was deeply moved, so he led the entire company to surrender and told the volunteers that the "false surrender" just now was led by a white officer, and now the white officer had "gone to see God."

This was the first and only time that the Volunteer Army captured an entire American company.

At 27:4 on the 348th, the th Regiment crossed the Jiulong River.

At 5 o'clock, the 2nd Battalion of the regiment arrived at the destination.

At this time, the 115th and 116th Divisions had achieved initial combat victories in accordance with the military plan and seized the advantageous terrain of Shangcaodong and Shangjiudong.

At this point, the US Wilson Task Force and part of the 24th Regiment were surrounded.

Although the enemy was surrounded, a serious situation lay ahead:

封锁米军南下逃跑通路的部队只有116师348团2营和115师344团2营，且被敌两面夹击，北边的威尔逊特遣队和米24团要逃命，南边的米27团要北上救命。

Two battalions of blocking troops are indeed too few!

This situation put the 39th Army in a difficult position.

Just today, at 27 a.m. on the 6th, the 39th Army Headquarters suddenly ordered all units to withdraw from the battle.

Now the 116th Division was anxious.

They believed that the US troops were surrounded and were in a situation of annihilation war. They could block the enemy during the day on the 27th and reap their kills at night.

They couldn't understand why they had to withdraw suddenly at this time.

Moreover, the biggest problem was that it would be extremely difficult for the 116th Division to retreat. Daybreak was approaching and the risk of being attacked by enemy aircraft was too great!

So, something that was extremely rare in the Volunteer Army happened!

whats the matter?

Disobey!

The military headquarters asked the two battalions to retreat, but the division commander Wang Yang was determined to fight!

The final result was that the 115th and 117th Divisions withdrew from the battle, and the 116th Division fought!

At this point, the only blocking force left was the 116nd Battalion of the 348th Regiment of the 2th Division!

At this time, the originally scattered American troops had gathered together and had initially ascertained the situation of our troops on the escape route. As long as they passed Hill 110, they would break out of the encirclement.

Moreover, it was almost daybreak, which was very advantageous for the fleeing enemy troops.

A battle with completely unequal strength is about to begin!

The 2th Company of the 4nd Battalion where Qin Zheng is located occupied the crucial Hill 110, which will be the focus of the enemy's attack!

At this time, the 4th Company was not fully staffed, with a total of 133 people.

With the light of dawn, we can see that the road below Hill 110 extends north and south, which is the only way for the enemy to rescue and retreat.

On the east side of the road are rolling mountains, which make it convenient for the troops to attack covertly. On the west side, there is no support and it is difficult to gain a foothold.

Battalion Commander Wang Nanfeng thought for a moment and immediately issued an order:

"The 4th Company and the 1st Platoon of the Machine Gun Company occupied Hill 110 on the east side of the highway. The 6th Company built fortifications on the hillside of Hill 4 behind the 216th Company. The main force of the Machine Gun Company and the battalion headquarters occupied the main peak of Hill 216. The 5th Company stood by as a reserve on the hilltop of the battalion headquarters. All companies quickly took their positions, built fortifications on the spot, and organized defenses."

连长王华生大喊一声：“快，4连就位。1排在公路两侧小高地切断公路，3排在公路东侧1排右翼的小山坡担任阻击，2排在1排后面的山坡负责对1排的支援和对付南来的敌人。”

The 4th Company had just taken position, and just five minutes later, two American line checkers came to check the line. As a result, the soldiers of the 4th Company captured two people alive without firing a single shot.

At 6 a.m., a part of the defeated American troops arrived at Hill 110. They first used a platoon of enemy soldiers to make a tentative attack southward along the road. The 3rd platoon suddenly opened fire, killing 12 enemies, and the remaining soldiers fled back in panic.

At 6:10 a.m., the enemy used two platoons to attack the 4th Company's position, attempting to occupy key points and cover the main force's breakout. The 4st and 1nd Platoons of the 2th Company used fierce firepower to inflict heavy casualties on the enemy and repel them.

The two attacks were just appetizers before the big battle.

Faced with the siege, the enemy began to deploy troops and request reinforcements.

At around 7 o'clock, enemy planes fired gasoline bombs and dive-strike attacks in the air. On the ground, three tanks covered an infantry company and attacked the position of the 4th Company again.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

On the positions of the 1st and 3rd rows, artillery shells roared and bullets rained down like rain. Soldiers were blown away from time to time, blood splattered, and the casualties were heavy.

The brave soldiers did not retreat, but launched a fierce counterattack.

As an offensive weapon, the tank caused huge damage to the soldiers of the two platoons. The demolition team leader Chen Yan jumped out of the fortifications and blew them up with two blasting tubes, causing chaos among the enemy infantry. The 4th Company took advantage of the situation to launch a fierce counterattack and the enemy was repelled again.

In this battle, platoon leader Qiu Lijia was seriously injured, and the instructor of the 4th Company, Fan Xicai, was wounded in the thigh and covered in blood, but he still insisted on commanding the battle, which greatly boosted morale.
