Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Chapter 6 Crossing the Yalu River and entering North Korea,

On October 1950, 10, the US Joint Forces began to cross the "7th Parallel" in an organized manner and headed towards the border between China and North Korea.

The commander-in-chief of the US Joint Forces, Mike Ash, ordered his eastern and western vanguard troops to advance in unison. The western army moved quickly toward Kusong and Cheolchon, continuing to pursue the fleeing North Korean People's Army, intending to eliminate all North Korean resistance forces in one fell swoop.

As for the Eastern Army, it was heading towards Hamhung. Its purpose was to squeeze the living space of the North Korean People's Army, force them into the hinterland of the mountains in the north, and use the coming cold winter and other severe weather to completely trap the enemy.

..................... ..

On the evening of October 10, several main forces of the former Fourth Field Army had gathered in Andong and Ji'an.

At this time, all members of the 40th Regiment of the 120th Division of the 358th Army where He Daming was located had gathered at the railway station in Andong City.

Looking around the entire train station, it was filled with a sea of ​​volunteer soldiers.

Due to the special nature of this war in North Korea, they all declared themselves to be volunteers.

They then quickly boarded a train to the border and gathered at the Yalu River on October 10. On the other side of the river was the North Korean border city of Chusan.

A day later, another train carrying various weapons made in various countries stopped here.

The volunteer soldiers from various units of the 40th Army began to join the busy transportation process. He Daming also brought the quartermaster and soldiers of the 358th Regiment to the front of the special train and directed these soldiers to transport the weapons.

When a few stronger soldiers opened the door of the carriage, they saw all kinds of weapons made in various countries inside, including the US M3 submachine gun, M28 submachine gun, Soviet "Sudaev" submachine gun, daily "Type rifle", and Great Britain's MK submachine gun. There were all kinds of weapons, but not a single one was independently developed by China.

As these weapons and ammunition were carried down one after another, the volunteer soldiers present began to arm themselves on the spot. It only took one hour for the 1th Regiment, which was armed to the teeth, to complete the equipment of all its members.

The 40th Army where He Daming was located had a total of people, including people from their 120th Division and 358 people from their 5000th Regiment.

You have to know that this number is quite astonishing. The average regiment in later generations only has between 1500 and 2000 people. This number of people can completely become an independent brigade.

However, due to the special circumstances of the times, there are currently only two brigades in the whole of China, and the brigades have not yet been formally incorporated into the current system. Above the regiment is the division.

That night, at the temporary base of the 358th Regiment, He Yuzhu from the guard company's kitchen squad quietly came to the regiment commander's temporary marching tent.

"Report to the leader!"

When He Daming heard the familiar voice, he knew it must be his nephew He Yuzhu who came.

He immediately waved to him.

"What's wrong, Zhuzi? Is there something you want to talk to me about so late?"

In response to his uncle's question, He Yuzhu immediately expressed his thoughts.

"Uncle, are we going to the battlefield this time? I heard the soldiers talking about entering North Korea to fight the United States."

He Daming heard this and nodded in agreement.

"Yes, the news they discussed is true, and we are indeed preparing to go to the front line to fight the American empire.

I guess we will enter the country to fight in the next few days. What's wrong? Do you have any additional ideas?"

He Yuzhu felt nervous when he heard He Daming's question. It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. He stammered,

"Uncle, we are really going to the battlefield. I am a little panicked."

When He Daming heard what He Yuzhu said, he rolled his eyes at him in displeasure.

"Zhu Zi, look at you. You are a five-foot-tall man from our He family, but you are just that useless. It's really shameful. What's there to be afraid of? Those American empires are not tigers and they won't eat you.

In addition, when you enter North Korea, you must follow the guards and don't run around or act on your own. I will do my best to keep you safe. Do you hear me?"

He Yuzhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what He Daming said. He knew that his uncle still had some conscience.

"Okay, Uncle, I understand."

He Daming waved his hand and ordered them to leave.

.........................

To be honest, He Daming himself was much more nervous than his nephew when he participated in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea this time. You know, the higher the official position, the greater the responsibility.

Moreover, the brutality of several major battles in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was even more intense than during the civil war.

It was the morning of the 19th, and He Daming received a notice to go to the 40th Army's temporary command headquarters to attend a combat meeting.

This time, all the officers in the army, including regimental level and above, were invited to participate.

The military meeting was chaired by Army Commander Wen Cheng.

"Comrades of the 40th Army, we have received the latest combat notice from the Zhisi Headquarters. Our army will begin crossing the Yalu River at 6 o'clock tonight under the cover of darkness.

The mission of our 40th Army is to quickly reach Chushan, and then march quickly from here to Guchangdong. Our main combat mission this time is to cover the North Korean People's Army's evacuation to the north, and wait for the friendly forces to reorganize, and then wait for an opportunity to counterattack. Everyone understands, right? "

Everyone shouted in unison: "I heard it clearly, Commander!"

Since the invasion into North Korea was hasty this time, no heavy firepower such as anti-aircraft guns and howitzers were carried. As for the weapons and equipment that the Soviet Union promised to support, they were delayed in delivery for some reasons.

This resulted in the Volunteer Army units being basically lightly equipped, with the most powerful firepower being the mortar.

Since the skies over North and South Korea belonged to the United States at that time, you could often see large numbers of American planes circling in the sky during the day, carrying out bombings and sneak attacks from time to time.

For this reason, the volunteer army hid during the day and moved out at night, only coming out to move at night.

At 10 o'clock in the evening on October 19, as night fell, the various units of the Chinese Volunteer Army began to cross the river in an orderly manner according to plan.

At around 8 o'clock, all members of the 40th Army completed the crossing of the river and began to move rapidly towards Chushan.

Chushan City is still in the hands of the North Korean People's Army, but the North Korean People's Army here is like a defeated rooster, dejected and without any fighting spirit.

He Daming just took a glance and quickly commanded the troops to pass through here and move towards the Guchangdong area.

We arrived at Guchangdong after one day and took a short rest here.

Zhisi was also in Guchangdong with the 40th Army at this time, studying the latest combat strategies based on the battlefield terrain map.
