Chapter 10: Seoul, Seoul!
Seoul, that is, now Seoul, with the smooth development of the third battle, the peak of the volunteer army has approached Seoul, at this time Seoul is also shrouded in a shadow of the coming war, countless refugees are gathering towards the bridge, the same Li Qiwei after some deliberation is ready to take the initiative to retreat, in order to prevent the flow of refugees to delay the retreat of the US army, the bridge is controlled, and there is even an order to take compulsory measures once the refugees are seriously affected or excessive, under such an order, these refugees cross the river to no avail, Many refugees drove ox carts and horse-drawn carts from the river to the ice!
The same U.S. troops are also seizing the time to retreat quickly, Li Qiwei is not in a hurry, on the contrary, Li Qiwei also has his own abacus, because Li Qiwei has observed the places occupied by the volunteers by plane, because Bai Xue has not seen clearly, Li Qiwei has also looked at the logistics supply lines of the volunteers, except for seeing some marks pressed by ox carts, and has not found anything.

Soon, Li Qiwei also came to his own conclusion, that is, the logistics supply line of the Volunteer Army is not good, and the Chinese Air Force and Navy are not comparable to the United States, so the offensive of the Volunteer Army is extremely limited, and Li Qiwei also has his own plans in the terrain of the Korean Peninsula, so he is ready to abandon Seoul and continue to retreat.
However, in order to cover the retreat of the troops, Ridgway still left a regiment of troops temporarily stationed in Seoul, which is the 25th Regiment of the 27th Division of the First Army of the United States, that is, Montgomery's troops during World War II have the title of Wolf Dog Regiment.
Similarly, as the battle situation became clearer, Mr. Peng also urgently ordered: the 113th Division to the southeast of Seoul, the 114th Division to the east of Seoul, the 118th Division to the northeast of Seoul, and the 116th Division to the north of Seoul. The main force of the 50th Army attacked west and southwest of Seoul...
It can be said that now all the troops are rushing to attack Seoul first, this is a story that will be recorded in history forever, after all, this is the first time that the Chinese army has entered the process of crossing the capital, so all the troops are rushing for time and advancing towards Seoul at all costs.
After walking all night, there was wind and snow everywhere, and the hardship was naturally not much to say, many soldiers now were cold, but after walking all night, they found that because of the too much wind and snow, the terrain was not familiar, but they were lost, Lu Hai was also anxious, and immediately said: "Hurry up, run back along the back road, and find the exact location"!
Everyone is carrying a lot of weight, and the hard march of one night has made many soldiers unbearable, especially the machine gunners, not only light machine guns, but also heavy machine guns with a core of Marco, and a few Hatch Chase heavy machine guns, including two mortars, carrying these things on their backs to march on a large scale interspersed all night, and they are tired enough, and someone will soon be left behind after walking for a while.
Lu Hai hurriedly ordered the troops to trim in place for ten minutes, and ate at the same speed, the steamed buns made during the day were also hard as stones at this time, but they were already very precious compared to fried noodles.
"Swapping shoulders and swapping backs, you must rush to Seoul as soon as possible and launch an attack!"
After eating a few hard buns, the soldiers got up and exchanged mortar guns and light and heavy machine guns and continued the rapid march.
After running for another half an hour, they came to the edge of the Han River, and when everyone saw that the Han River Bridge was still four or five kilometers away from here in the distance, Lu Hai hurriedly ordered to quickly move closer to the Han River Bridge along the forest by the river!
After half an hour of rapid marching, everyone finally came to the Han River Bridge, Lu Hai picked up the binoculars and looked at it but found that there were two more 50 heavy machine guns not far away, not only that, but there was also a platoon of American troops stationed in front, Lu Hai then said: "Mortars, once the fire is concentrated, it is not allowed to test fire, and these two heavy machine gun nests must be held within the two guns, the first battalion is hit from the bridge, and the second battalion is quickly crossed from the frozen Han River, and the offensive is launched, after the Han River Bridge is captured, a company is stationed here, and the rest of the troops continue to attack inside!" ”
"Yes!"
As the various units entered the attack line, the two mortars were also erected, Lu Hai looked at his watch, it was exactly eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Hai saw that there were no friendly troops here, and now if he entered Seoul, then the 50th Army would be the first army to attack Seoul, plus the performance of the 50th Army in the first two battles was too bad, this time it was able to completely annihilate the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion, and if it could also attack Seoul, then the 50th Army would completely turn over.
"Ready!"
"Put!"
As soon as the words fell, two shells were suddenly stuffed in, only to hear a bang, two shells flew violently, but these two shells did not hit but exploded at two meters of the heavy machine gun nest, two American soldiers were killed, Lu Hai suddenly said angrily: "Damn, the explosion is missed, and these two heavy machine guns are blown up immediately!" ”
The two artillerymen were also a little nervous, and after a short correction, they suddenly put the shells in, only to hear two roars, and the two heavy machine gun nests had indeed been blown up, and then Lu Hai said suddenly: "The artillery continues to bombard, blow the trumpet!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the artillery launched a bombardment, and with the bombardment of artillery fire, for a short while, all the soldiers launched a charge with their guns, and the rest of the troops who did not go to the bridge also opened fire to shoot the American troops who were blocking!
A battalion of several hundred troops suddenly appeared on the Han River bridge, once again refreshing the cognitive range of the Americans, they thought that the impossible we did, braving the wind and snow, the weather of minus 40 degrees Celsius rapid march interspersed, the soldiers of the Volunteer Army were indeed one of the best soldiers in the world at that time.
In the same way, many soldiers on the Han River also began to swim in arms, although the Han River was frozen at this time, but there was still water in some places, and the attack was launched in a hurry, some soldiers took off their clothes, and some soldiers directly tread water through and attacked the south bank of the Han River!
Similarly, the firepower of the U.S. army was fiercely attacked after all the troops also fully impacted, at this time, the U.S. troops not far away also discovered this emergency, the artillery not far away launched a bombardment, a shell whistling and smashing over, the heavy ice on the river surface was directly opened by the shells opened a huge opening, for a time the ice on the river surface also exploded Some soldiers could not avoid falling into the river, and those who were not injured could barely climb out, but the injured had no strength to climb up and sink into the Han River.
Not only that, two American tanks, more than a dozen mortars, and more than two dozen artillery pieces were aimed at Lu Hai and they opened fire fiercely, and now they have only two choices, either at all costs, rush over and beat these so-called wolf dogs, or choose to retreat, but retreating is equivalent to abandoning the previous efforts, Lu Hai immediately shouted: "At all costs, rush over!" ”
"The soldiers in the back get bayonets!"
Immediately, Lu Hai also picked up the submachine gun in his hand and followed the charge, and more than 1,500 people from the two strong battalions frantically attacked the Han River Bridge.
"Boom!"
I only heard a loud bang, a shell directly hit a three-person combat team, in the loud noise, the three people were directly blown to pieces by the huge force, the heavy machine gun on the tank also fired with all its might, the people on the bridge were temporarily suppressed, the soldiers on the same river were only thirty meters away from the shore, but at this time a shell bombarded over, thirty meters away from a shell directly shot, the soldier was directly hit in the chest by this shell, the whole person was blown up in an instant, But the troops behind were not suppressed because of this, but continued to charge!
Fortunately, the machine gun team in the back, four or five heavy machine guns, also frantically fired at the American artillery positions and trenches in front!
After paying a heavy sacrifice of more than 100 people, Lu Hai's attack force was only a dozen meters away from the US army's defense line, but now in front of them were two American tanks, and the machine guns on the tanks were roaring and firing, and many soldiers were beaten into a blur of flesh and blood!
At this moment, several soldiers picked up the explosives bag and quickly crawled towards the two tanks in front, the machine gun was also firing rapidly, in the melee, a soldier was shot in the head, and most of his head was lifted open, and he fell to the ground and stopped moving, the same soldier was just raised and knocked to the ground, Lu Hai's eyes were bloodshot and shouted: "Fire suppression!" ”
As he spoke, he snatched a Garand rifle from a soldier next to him and began to aim, the moment he pulled the trigger, the infantryman's head on the tank instantly blossomed and rolled down, and the rest of the soldiers also opened fire to suppress it, suppressing the machine gunner on the other tank and not daring to raise his head, and the remaining two continued to crawl forward to blow up the two tanks.
However, at this time, the tank artillery roared, and the soldiers on the front line were shot and fell down a large area, and at the same time, the machine gunners above opened fire again, only to hear a burst of gunshots, and the arm of a soldier holding the explosive bag was suddenly broken by the machine gun bullet on the ground, but the rest of the soldiers rushed directly under a tank and shouted: "Long live the volunteers!" ”
As soon as the words fell, he had already pulled the explosive bag in his arms, only to hear a loud roar, the tank was also blown up and did not move, in the eyes of everyone, the soldier who had his broken arm endured unimaginable severe pain and bit the explosive bag with his mouth, and used his remaining hand to desperately pull the bridge deck, approaching the tank.
At this time, the rest of the tanks continued to move forward and rushed over, the roaring main gun shot out and blew up a few soldiers, at this time, the tracks of the tank have been crushed towards the soldier, once the tank is crushed on such a cement bridge deck, the tragic situation may not be speakable, but the whole person was pressed and exploded, pressed into meat sauce, but the soldier at this time with the only remaining hand pulled the explosive bag and turned around and smiled poignantly at the comrades with moist eyes behind him...
