After a while, Peng Dehuai said: "The current situation is not optimistic! ”

"Yes! Many troops are crowded in the narrow area south of the 38th parallel, and food supply is becoming more and more difficult, it used to be a supply line of 100 kilometers, but now it is 500 kilometers, and the Americans have also increased the intensity of air raids, the troops in front lack food and clothing, food and clothing, plus the troops are all night raids, rest during the day, and are already very tired! ”

"The 196th Division suffered thousands of frostbite, and its 586th Regiment lost its combat effectiveness because of frostbite, and the enemy did not spend a single shot, and our army lost one division!" Mr. Peng said. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"There is also a report by Han Xianchu of the Western Front that the losses in this battle were serious, the two regiments of the 116th Division suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the 119th Division lost 300 people, and now many regiments and battalions have lost their combat effectiveness, and some even have only half of the personnel fighting in front, and the US army has also blown up and burned down the civilian houses along the way, and the troops have no place to repair, and the enemy has laid a lot of mines south of the 38th parallel, and more than 100 soldiers of the 40th Army alone have stepped on mines and died!"

"What I am most worried about is that in the third campaign, we advanced 100 kilometers in seven days and nights, and annihilated 20,000 enemies, but the departments reported that the enemy's resistance was not resolute, and Seoul also took the initiative to give up, and only carried out small-scale encounters, and our logistics line is getting more and more fielded, and the situation will inevitably worsen when we pull it over, I have never been afraid of fighting for so many years, but I have a feeling of fear after crossing the 38th parallel, we have already gone halfway through this cucumber, do you remember how the Korean People's Army failed in the first place?" Mr. Peng said.

"Incheon landing!" Deng Hua said.

"According to the current situation, I think the U.S. military is luring the enemy, luring us to continue the pursuit, gradually dragging us down, as our logistics line becomes longer and longer, the supply line is becoming more and more difficult, if the Americans launch an Inchon landing, we are very likely to be cut off!" Peng Dehuai said.

"In the past few days, we must pay attention to the situation of the US military, and tell all departments to stop the attack and wait for follow-up orders!"

"Okay! I'm going to send a report! ”

On the 8th, the order to stop the attack on all fronts was issued, and all the departments began to enter the repair period, and the same Kim Il Sung and Park Hyun Yong also arrived in Jung-ri from Pyongyang to discuss the next battle with President Peng!

There is no doubt that Kim Chong-il was extremely excited and happy by the three successive victories, and he repeatedly congratulated and thanked the Chinese People's Volunteers led by President Peng Lao, and also asked how the Chinese and North Korean troops planned for the next step!

Similarly, the Soviet direction was that the Chinese and North Korean armies should continue to advance south in one fell swoop to force the United Nations forces to retreat, but after discussion, the boss also told the actual situation on the battlefield, and finally discussed and decided to wait for the replacement of Soviet-made weapons.

After hitting the 38th line, the cold water stumbled on the fried noodles. With the victory of the three battles, the so-called quick victory idea has also appeared, and all departments have the phenomenon of rash advance, which is also what Mr. Peng is worried about, and the most important thing now is that the troops must be repaired, otherwise it will be the end of the strong crossbow!

......

At the headquarters of the Volunteer Army, Deng Hua was looking at the map and said: "Now there must be troops on the south bank of the Han River to block the attack of the US army, and buy time for the repair of the large army and the spring offensive, boss, do you think the 50th Army can hold it?" ”

Mr. Peng put down the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Why can't you keep it?" ”

"Although the 50th Army performed well in the third battle, no one knows how strong their combat effectiveness is, and once the US army discovers our combat intentions this time, it is bound to attack the defense line of the 50th Army south of the Han River, in the face of a large-scale attack by the US army, if they can't hold it, the US army will enter Seoul and launch a large-scale attack on the troops assembled on our 38th parallel, if we are not well prepared, the battlefield situation will be very critical, so we must select a stronger army to garrison the south bank of the Han River, The Fiftieth Army is an insurrectionary force, and I'm worried ...

"You're worried they won't be able to hold it? I think they can hold it, do you remember the Yuwang Mountain resistance battle in the Battle of Xuzhou? Zeng Zesheng was the commander of the 1085th Regiment of the 60th Army at that time, and it can be said that he was personally stationed in Yuwang Mountain, and the elite of the Japanese army was 30,000 of them 10,000 stunned for a month, and the battle of Pai Shi was more than 30 days, I think it is correct to put the 50th Army on the south bank of the Han River, because the Yunnan villagers are good at mountain defense operations, and the 60th Army at that time was indeed the case. Mr. Peng said with a smile.

"But the battle on the south bank of the Han River is very important, and there is no room for error, and our ace army must be sent to garrison it, so that it can be safe!" Deng Hua said.

"They are trump cards, don't we still have a division of the 38th Army on the south bank of the Han River, once they really can't resist it, let the 38th Army go up! I'm giving them 500 meters of retreat every day, so Zeng Zesheng should be able to hold on! Mr. Peng said.

Deng Hua didn't feel at ease and wanted to say something, Mr. Peng immediately waved his hand and said: "I understand what you mean, but when we fought for the Yunnan Army, we saw their good side, they used to be the strength of the country, and now they should also be my Chinese Iron Army, I believe in Yunnan villagers, we also have to take care of their feelings, if the 50th Army is withdrawn now, what will Zeng Zesheng think?" What will the Yunnan villagers of the 50th Army think? In the previous battle, you also saw that the 50th Army annihilated the British Royal Heavy Tank Battalion with two battalions of light infantry, and I didn't believe it before, but it turned out that we did underestimate the combat effectiveness of the 50th Army. So we let them fight this battle, and also meet their requirements for wanting to fight a turnaround battle! ”

......

After receiving the order of the Zhisi, Zeng Zesheng immediately gathered the three division commanders together and began to discuss.

"Comrades, this task is very arduous, but the more arduous the task, the more it shows that Mr. Peng trusts us, so we must fight this battle well, and we must not let the US army break through from our position!" Zeng Zesheng said.

"Comrades, Mr. Peng put a division of the 38th Army behind our flank, and there is a 500-meter retreat maneuver every day, which is also Mr. Peng's care for us, but do you want the help of the 38th Army?" Cai Zhengguo said.

"No, let's show the Americans on the south bank of the Han River that our 50th Army is not a vegetarian!" Zhao Jianying said.

"Brothers, I believe that you are doing well, so we don't want to retreat 500 meters a day, and we don't want the help of the 38th Army, just let them see the combat effectiveness of our 50th Army here!" Zeng Zesheng said.

"You used to be the strength of the country to defend China, and now you are also the warriors who defend China, what I want to tell you is that you were once the elite, but now the brother troops doubt whether we are the elite, so what should we do?" Zeng Zesheng asked again.

The leaders of the group in the field opened their mouths one after another: "Call them!" ”

"We have built two defensive positions on the south bank of the Han River, the front is Baiyun Mountain, repair the mountain hat and fall down the mountain, the front line of defense is served by the 194th Division and the 148th Division, and the second line of defense is served by the 150th Division, the 500-meter maneuver distance cannot be conveyed downward, this battle we have to let the brother troops see, our 50th Army is not a bad seed!" Zeng Zesheng said.

Similarly, Lu Hai's two battalions pursued all the way to Pyeongtaek on the 37th parallel, and when they had to continue after hastily repairing, the retreat order also came quickly, Lu Hai didn't understand it at first, but after listening to Zeng Zesheng's words, Lu Hai also found that his troops had made a big mistake and were bound to go deep alone in such a pursuit. In this way, they also became the farthest attacking units of the Volunteer Army.

After withdrawing, the troops were also stationed on Baiyun Mountain to defend, and in the same way, the 50th Army relied on Baiyun Mountain to repair mountain hats and other places to build fortifications on the south bank of the Han River and began to make corrections!

On the battlefield, after a few days of repair, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the food is almost gone, the soldiers are hungry and cold in the field at minus 40 degrees, Lu Hai after some arrangements but ordered the troops to go out to pick up Yangluo to supplement the life of the troops, I didn't think that in the evening of the same day, a company that went out brought back a lot of buckets of seven or eight kilograms of large cans and white noodles, and informed everyone that there were no enemy troops in Suwon, a lot of materials were placed indiscriminately, and even a lot of white noodles were piled up under the eaves.

After some judgment, Lu Hai also felt that it might be that the Americans had retreated too hastily, so he decided to send troops out the next day to take a look, and take the opportunity to find something to come back, otherwise the army's food shortage would be even more serious!

Who knew that before the troops came down the mountain, more than a dozen US planes swooped towards Baiyun Mountain in a roar, and in the sharp whistling sound, heavy aerial bombs and napalm bombs smashed down frantically towards their positions!

For a time, the smoke and dust on the entire Baiyun Mountain were in the air, and the flames were soaring, and just when the bombing had just passed, there were many soldiers who were killed and wounded on the position, and not only that, the artillery bombardment of the Americans was launched again, and all kinds of advanced artillery were bombarded indiscriminately against Baiyun Mountain, and if it had not been for the anti-artillery holes that had been dug before, the losses would have been even more serious.

Before the bombing was over, more than 1,000 people from the United States launched an attack on Baiyun Mountain, and the battle soon began, the soldiers relied on their positions to fire at the American troops below the mountain, and the American tanks were also firing at the firing points on the mountain!

In the face of the swarming American troops, the soldiers in the trenches also opened fire fiercely, and it was Lu Hai who personally went to the battlefield and shot the American soldiers below with a rifle.

At this moment, a communications soldier ran over and said, "Deputy regiment commander, regiment commander phone!" ”

Lu Hai hurriedly ran back to his headquarters, picked up the phone and said, "I'm Lu Hai!" ”

"Xiaohai, my artillery is ready to shell at any time!" Haizhiji said.

"Don't worry, let it go a little, and when their strikers rush up, the shelling will block them, and I'm going to hit them with a counter-shock!" Lu Hai said. (To be continued.) )
