Chapter 44: The number of the 50th Army will never be revoked

After returning to the military headquarters of the 50th Army, Lu Hai also jumped directly from the deputy regiment commander to the position of deputy army commander, but it is said that it is a concept of a thousand miles in a day, and now he no longer has to go to the front line to command, but begins to be responsible for discussing with Zeng Zesheng how to retreat!

"The current situation is like this, the U.S. military will still attack, if our troops don't withdraw, it will be a big trouble for us for the U.S. troops to take advantage of the situation to attack, but if we don't withdraw, the strength will be insufficient, even if we want to leave a few regiments with strong combat effectiveness, do you think it's better to keep that?" Xu Wenlie said. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Just leave the troops of Hai Zhizhi, Mu Yuanliang and Chen Liang's three regiments, so that it will not cause an empty force!" Zeng Zesheng said.

"What do you think of Lu Hai?" Zeng Zesheng asked.

Lu Hai took the map and looked at it: "Virtual, real, virtual, the best defense is to attack, we can not retreat!" ”

"But that's too risky!" Xu Wenlie said.

"What do you mean exactly?" Zeng Zesheng asked.

"The area behind Guochuan, the mountains are high and dense, which is conducive to the concealment of large troops, and the terrain is very conducive to ambushes, which is also the area where I wanted to use the rear positions to ambush the enemy after Chen Liang and Chen Liang could not hold the front line, we can withdraw a large number of wounded soldiers, and some troops with slightly weaker combat effectiveness will also be withdrawn, and then the troops with strong combat effectiveness will feign retreat, and some of them will be ambushed in the mountains, and the troops will deliberately retreat under the reconnaissance planes of the US army, creating the illusion that our large troops are retreating. These troops came back at night in a roundabout way to hit them by surprise! Lu Hai said.

"It's not impossible, but the question is obvious, what happens once we're done? Hold on or retreat? Xu Wenlie said.

"Retreat and hold on! Leave the elite troops in a pinch"! Lu Hai said.

"Since that's the case, then plan it well, and if you want to do something, you can do something powerful, and hit them hard!" Zeng Zesheng said.

After a day of deployment, the troops have begun to retreat, and they have deliberately appeared under the reconnaissance planes of the US army, and many soldiers have begun to ambush, and the Chinese army began to retreat from the positions that the US troops could not attack in the past.

However, just after dark, the troops who went out in a roundabout way came back one after another, and the various departments began to enter their own predetermined positions, and began a long night of ambush, although now although the weather has improved, but the ice and snow melt when it is even colder, especially the ice and snow that melt at night freeze again, the soldiers are lying on the snow is indeed a very test of will, the only thing that is a handful of peppers, but all the soldiers are sticking to it, desperately holding on, at four o'clock in the night, many soldiers have dense frost on their faces, Many soldiers shivered in the snow, but none of them left their posts without permission, and the soldiers could only cheer each other on!

When the sky is about to dawn, a night of hot rice soup is the best food, after a night, there are also a few soldiers who were frostbitten to withdraw from the battlefield, one night, frostbite more than 100 people, but no one was exposed!

Time was still ticking, and at nine o'clock in the morning, the American troops began to march towards the second-line position, and all the soldiers kept their original movements and waited!

"According to the intelligence coming back from the front, the troops of the two regiments of the US army have begun to march towards the second-line position!" Xu Wenlie said.

"In this way, the US military has been fooled!" Lu Hai said.

"After they all entered, the troops of Mu Yuanliang and Hai Zhizhi quickly cut off the return route of the American army, and the rest of the troops launched a general attack in an all-round way!" Zeng Zesheng said.

"We can't eat so much, we should let them block it for a while, we don't have enough firepower to annihilate the war, but we can hit hard!" Lu Hai said.

"That's fine, it's all the same anyway, if we can't eat it, we're thinking about retreating!" Zeng Zesheng said.

As the U.S. military entered the ambush circle, the general attack order was issued, the war began instantly, the soldiers who had been in ambush all night launched an attack from both sides, and when the U.S. military reacted, the war was in full swing, and under the sudden fierce fire attack in the hillside on all sides, the U.S. army was caught off guard and suffered serious losses!

The fierce battle lasted for two days, and after two days of large-scale exchanges of fire between the two sides, the US troops lost more than 3,000 casualties, and although they did not annihilate a regiment of the US army in a formed manner, they also inflicted heavy losses on the US troops.

Just when the U.S. army rushed out of the encirclement, most of the 50th Army also began to move towards the north bank of the Han River, leaving Chen Liang and Hai Zhizhi stationed on the south bank of the two positions responsible for covering the defense line of the 112th Division on the side!

As the 50th Army withdrew across the south bank of the Han River, the US offensive gradually shifted to the 112th Division, and the fierce battle continued, but the 50th Army also got precious time to fortify!

Here, many aspects of TV are saying that the 50th Army held on alone, but the 112th Division also played an important role in the later operations, and this must be said fairly, without the 112th Division's blockade, the 50th Army's fortification time on the north bank would not be enough.

"I suggest blowing up the Han River Bridge!" Lu Hai said.

When Xu Wenlie heard this, he immediately said urgently: "How can they withdraw now that they are blown up?" ”

"I mean put explosives on the bridge, we hold on here, and as soon as all our troops withdraw, blow up the Han River Bridge immediately! It can prevent the U.S. military from crossing the Han River in a short period of time and continuing to attack! Lu Hai said.

"This is necessary, as well as the laying of mines and the arrangement of concealed sentry posts on the edge of the narrow river, and the setting of new positions on the spacious river, with three layers inside and three layers outside, the tunnel offensive must be firm!"

"Yes!"

"Don't withdraw the capture team, it's like a detour on the outskirts of the south bank, and it can play a big role when necessary!"

"Yes!"

The war is still going on, on the south bank of the Han River, and after more than ten days of hard work, the 112th Division also opened a posture with the US army and fought a few battles, the battle was also very fierce, in front of the Long Live Army, the losses of the US army were also very serious, and after holding on for five or six days, the 50th Army and 112 of the coordinated operation were withdrawn one after another, and at this moment, a total of more than 20,000 US troops were annihilated, and the 50th Army lost 10,033 people. And they persevered on the north and south banks of the Han River for more than 50 days.

These 50 precious days were exchanged for the lives of more than 10,000 soldiers, and the 50th Army achieved great results through defensive operations on the south bank of the Han River!

On this day, Zeng Zesheng and Lu Hai came to Zhisi, and Peng Dehuai entertained them with a pot of potatoes, and the two of them ate with their skins, and their bodies were full of gunsmoke and exhaustion.

After eating, Zeng Zesheng got up and said: "Boss, the defensive operation on the south bank of the Han River has been successfully completed, please instruct!" ”

"You have done a great job of blocking the attack, bought valuable time for the repair of the large army, and now it is time for you to go and rest!" Mr. Peng said.

Zeng Zesheng got up and said: "We don't need to trim, as long as the ammunition is sufficient, we can fight again!" ”

Mr. Peng also heard the meaning of Zeng Zesheng's words, and then spoke: "I know what you think, the 50th Army should be repaired, and there are more difficult tasks for you to go on in the future!" ”

When Zeng Zesheng heard this, he was relieved: "Thank you boss for your concern!" ”

"Chairman Mao also knew about your defensive operations on the south bank of the Han River, and he praised you as fifty murderers! Maybe you can get an audience with Chairman Mao in the future! Mr. Peng said.

Zeng Zesheng's eyes were moist, and he said emotionally after a while: "Now we can raise our heads in front of our brother troops!" ”

When Mr. Peng heard this, he immediately changed color and said, "What are these words?" Didn't I, Peng Dehuai, speak out about the old army like you? I, Peng Dehuai, have never treated you as a stepmother, as long as I Peng Dehuai is alive in the future, all equipment will be given priority to your fifty army configuration, and your number will never be revoked as long as I am here! ”

At that time, it was really a situation of great disarmament, and Zeng Zesheng was most worried about the revocation of the number of the 50th Army, and this guarantee can be said to be the biggest promise! Zeng Zesheng immediately saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Peng!" ”

"Your troops are ready to prepare, tomorrow morning you get on the train and return home for nine months to repair, and then there will be tasks to be handed over to you!"

"What task?" Zeng Zesheng asked.

"You'll know when the time comes!" Mr. Peng said.

Bidding farewell to Shiji, three days later, the tired soldiers got on the train and began to return to China for repairs, but fortunately, the railway now has the air force of a division of the Soviet Union secretly participating in the war, and the railway line here can barely be guaranteed!

Along the way, the tired soldiers squeezed into the carriage and slept together, and after a few days, the train finally entered the territory of China, and when the car crossed the Yalu River Bridge, it was a procession of welcoming the warriors back!

Flowers and banners, and dense and enthusiastic crowds, soldiers with their heads and hands out of their windows to greet the enthusiastic crowd, the pain of war seems to have faded a lot at this moment.

When the car stopped, the soldiers walked down, and the enthusiastic crowd came up, handing flowers, fruits and eggs!

The people saw not the warriors who returned in bright clothes and triumphant, but a group of beggar-like people, only to see that these soldiers were sallow, their faces were full of gunsmoke, their faces were all black, and the cotton clothes on their bodies were also tattered.
