On November 27, the 13th year of the Republic, the Wehrmacht soldiers recaptured Seoul without blood, and the news spread to the country, and the whole country celebrated. However, General Staff Duan is sober, and the old Wu and Lao Duan on the front line are also a veteran of 20 years of battlefields, and this situation is still clear. After returning to China to take up his post, Wu Luzhen recalled the military operations after the capture of Seoul and said: I have fought all my life and have never been afraid, but when the Wehrmacht fought across the Han River and fought all the way to Pyeongtaek and Anseong, I looked around and was indeed very afraid. In the later period, the Japanese army retreated almost without a fight, and the officers and men of the Wehrmacht knew that they did not fight the Han River, but could almost be said to have walked through. However, the editorials of the domestic newspapers at that time were all preaching, "Advance to Daejeon, advance to Daegu, advance to Busan, and vow to drive the Japanese devils into the sea and recover the rivers and mountains of Samhan, the subject country." Such a public opinion environment may be very beneficial to boost morale and people's morale and regain the belonging of Samhan, but it is not at all beneficial to the several generals who commanded the battle.

Now the Wehrmacht has braked and stopped at Pyeongtaek and Wonju, and the battle line has gradually stabilized, the eastern front is slightly behind, the western front is a little prominent, and the battle line is a little disjointed in the central mountain range, but the Wehrmacht's wave offensive has made the commander of the Japanese army in Samhan, Lieutenant General Oniwa Jiro, and the chief of staff, Major General Toyoshi Ohno, almost out of breath. Fortunately, the Fifth Division had already landed from Pohang, and the decision to increase troops in China had already passed the Provisional Five-Prime Minister's Council to play the Emperor, and it was estimated that by the end of December, several divisions of imperial troops would arrive from Busan, and the navy would also blockade the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Japan, and Sanhan might not necessarily be taken away by China.

During this month's war, the reporters of the military newspapers of the Wehrmacht compiled and reported a lot of news about the Wehrmacht's heroic struggle and the annihilation of the enemy, but unfortunately it did not make Tieliu Zou Rong look at the works that made his eyes shine, and I have to say that inspiration is sometimes more important than pen work on the propaganda front, but unfortunately this inspiration is not a course that can be taught by the Youth Cadre Academy and the China Communication University.

"Minister Tie, looking at this report, I think it's still very innovative." An assistant minister of the Propaganda Department took a press release and sent it to Zou Rong, who put on his glasses and read it carefully. The assistant couldn't see any clues on his face, so he had to wait on the side.

Finally, when Zou Rong took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, the assistant hurriedly asked, "Minister Tie, what do you see?" ”

"This Meng Zhaoying is the girl from Nankai University of Political Science and Law?"

"yes."

"Well, it's a good seedling. The general seat mentioned several times that propaganda should be oriented to the public, be down-to-earth, and speak human words. But what about those of us who read poetry and books? If you don't use allusions, you won't be able to write.,Such articles are incomprehensible in the ministry.,How can the people understand it? The report is unpretentious and infectious, and the writing is smooth and rhythmic. Director Yang, you have a good eye for talent, you should pay attention to this child and put the burden on him appropriately. ”

Yang Shuquan felt the same way, he nodded, he had a relationship with Minister Tieliu's words, it was time to promote and reuse some fresh forces in the Propaganda Department, otherwise how could the gloomy Propaganda Department take on the responsibility of cheering for the people and establishing a new style for the Xinhua Party?

Soon, this report on "Eighteen Warriors Breaking into the Water Plain" was adopted by many newspapers and radio stations, and it was published on the head and spread all over the country, and these 18 soldiers of the 4th Company of the 401st Regiment of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division became well-known heroes of the Wehrmacht.

Suwon, located 44 kilometers south of Seoul. On the night of November 28, the "18 warriors" of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division stirred up this satellite city of the capital of Sanhan and beat the once invincible Japanese garrison troops to the ground.

This night raid of the Japanese soldiers, known as the "Night Attack on Suwon City by Eighteen Warriors", is known as the "Night Attack on Suwon City" by the Japanese soldiers. A few days ago, Wang Hongsheng, one of the "18 warriors" and the platoon commander of the 5th Company and 1st Platoon of the 401st Regiment of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division, told reporters about the vivid and heroic battle scene of the night attack on Suwon City at the Seoul station.

In the face of the enemy's sudden counterattack, in order to ascertain the enemy's situation and disrupt the enemy's offensive deployment, on the afternoon of 28 November, Dai Rucheng of the 5th Company of the 401st Regiment of the 4th Mechanized Infantry Division, which had just entered Seoul, was ordered to lead two artillery observers from the company, the division's reconnaissance company, and a 107th self-propelled rocket artillery platoon to temporarily form a temporary formation, totaling more than 200 people, to attack Suwon City at night. The task is to lead the troops to insert into the enemy's heart, stir up Suwon City, kill the sharp spirit of the Fourth Division, and then catch a "tongue" to come back, and ask the two little devils who have been defeated three times in the past month What kind of reputation they want to make?

Suwon, with a population of one million, was not that big at the time, it was an empty city, but it was not small for the surprise attack force. On the morning of the 25th, a brigade of the 61st Wing of the 4th Division of the Japanese Army and a section of the military police were stationed in Suwon City, which was also to receive the troops of the Japanese garrison troops who had retreated from Seoul, and troops were also stationed on the nearby high ground. Under such circumstances, the "Eighteen Warriors Night Attack on Suwon City" was staged.

"When we came to the mountains on the outskirts of Suwon, it was already early in the morning of the 29th, and it was dawn, and the machine gun squadron and mountain artillery squadron of the 61st Wing were firing frantically at our mountains and firing artillery without targets. We are ready to attack the enemy. Platoon Commander Wang Hongsheng said.

"It was almost dark, the classes had finished their meals, and when the enemy's artillery fire had passed, we ran to the place where we ate. The vehicle has been abandoned in the woods outside the city, there is no way, the target is too big.

After eating, it was dark, and it was our world again. As we walked toward the north gate of Suwon, company commander Dai Rucheng summoned all the cadres above the company squad level to quickly go to the front to study the combat plan. "Our task is to scratch our tongues and understand the enemy," he said. The division arranged for a rocket artillery platoon to cooperate with us and cover our company's attack on Suwon Fortress from the flank. Speaking of this, Wang Hongsheng smiled slyly.

"Suddenly, the Japanese sentry and the enemy on a commercial building fired at us with light and heavy machine guns at the same time, and we immediately lay down and fired back at the enemy, because it was dark, we did not know at this time that we had walked to the north gate of the city, and walked to the enemy post guarding the gate, and we had been discovered by the enemy, and there was a comrade-in-arms

I don't know who it was, but he was very brave enough to rush to the edge of the enemy's outpost, trying to throw a grenade into the bunker, but the enemy's fire was too fierce for him to find a chance to shoot.

Company Commander Dai shouted: "Brothers, suppress the shooting!" I immediately shouted, "Follow me in a row!" "We braved the enemy's bullets like a tiger to rush and approach the enemy's machine-gun bunker in the night, and finally Ma Yuning shot a grenade into the hole of the bunker to finish off the opponent. We bravely rushed into the city and chased more than a mile away. Suddenly, a barrage of bullets came out of the school on the right side of the road, and we immediately fell down and fired back at the school.

Company Commander Dai ordered me to contact the comrades behind me why they didn't come up, and when I returned to the north gate of the city, I saw that the enemy's reinforcement team was guarding the city gate again, and our people did not come in. At this time, the situation is very critical, the city is the enemy's world, and our troops have not entered, the enemy is outnumbered, and we must fight quickly.

I first fired a shuttle of bullets into the room, Wu Liang used a flashlight to shine in the room, and in a classroom I found an enemy lying under the desk, with the trigger in his hand, and before the enemy could raise his head, I quickly dodged the enemy's muzzle from the side and snatched his gun violently.

The company commander ordered me to cut the telephone lines with a bayonet, and ordered the machine gun squad leader to hold the position with three machine guns at the intersection outside the school. The company commander commanded from the tree wall outside the school.

I quickly cut the telephone line, shot and dropped bombs into the school yard*, taking advantage of the moment when the enemy's artillery fire was temporarily suppressed, I rushed into the school yard, quickly glanced at the courtyard and found a car parked in the courtyard, and found that there was an enemy under the car holding a gun and had not yet come to his senses, I jumped on the top of the car with an arrow step, and quickly shot under the car, and the enemy was so frightened that he crawled out from under the car. I quickly jumped out of the car and rushed up to grab his carbine, all while speaking the Korean I learned: "Shoot or kill." He was escorted to Company Commander Dai, who was commanding outside the school, and after being interrogated by the company commander in Korean, it was learned that he was the Samhan interpreter of the Japanese 4th Division Military Police.

I saw that the bullets were still being fired in the school, and I immediately rushed into the school again and again. At this time, one of our machine gunners also followed me into the school yard, and I said to him: "You guard the intersection outside the school and hold your position against foreign enemies." ”

In order to conceal myself, I led two soldiers to walk forward against the wall, and when I found an enemy not far from the first squad leader, I shouted in the Japanese language taught to us by the army night school teacher: "Shoot or kill!" After I finished speaking, the enemy also said: "Surrender the gun and don't kill" came to us, he didn't surrender, I wouldn't say anything else, he didn't surrender, I shot at him and killed him (he may be a baggage soldier or an artillery soldier who is not equipped with individual weapons, but in that case no one dares to guarantee whether the other party really surrendered). Then, the squad leader Zhang Peiguang was brought back, and the machine gun was also retrieved. Because you have a weapon to save yourself, and you can't leave a weapon to the enemy.

The company commander ordered Chen Youzhi, the commander of the third platoon of the demolition team, to burn the car and ordered me to escort the Japanese interpreter back. Company Commander Dai studied with us, considering that the entrance door was guarded by the enemy, and we walked from the east.

When we walked over the city wall to the rice field, the enemy fired fiercely at us from the side of the hill with 38 rifles and machine guns, we returned fire while crawling forward, I took the prisoners, we went around the rice field at the bottom of the mountain, crossed this mountain to the rice field under another mountain, and kept crawling, the enemy's fire fired at us more fiercely, then I heard the voice of the third platoon commander Chen Youzhi: "I can't do it", but I was holding prisoners and could not be distracted. Chen Youzhi sacrificed.

I was also wounded at this point, and was hit in my upper left arm by a ricocheting bullet, and the sleeve was full of blood, and the front of my coat was full of blood. Nevertheless, I think that no matter how difficult it is, we must take the prisoners back and complete the tasks assigned to us by our superiors.

Later, Wu Liang arrived, I took out the first aid kit and asked Wu Liang to bandage me, because Wu Liang also injured one arm and could not bandage one hand, Wu Liang handed the first aid kit to the captive, and held a gun at the captive in one hand, Wu Liang asked the captive to tie me up outside my clothes. After another period of progress, Company Commander Dai used a loudspeaker to connect the comrades together, and the company commander saw that I was bleeding too much and bandaged me again. Although I was wounded, I kept the prisoners back to the station.

It was already midnight when I returned to the station, the hygienist used scissors to cut the sleeves of my clothes, disinfected the bloody wounds, and let us sleep for a while, and the deputy instructor Sun Wanshan gave me a letter of introduction to the party members, and Wu Liang and I followed a comrade from the company to escort the gendarme prisoners I had captured to the regiment headquarters, and the comrades from the regiment headquarters sent me to the field hospital in Seoul for treatment.

Although we only entered the city with eighteen men in this battle. However, we defeated an infantry squadron and a gendarmerie squad of the enemy, burned a car, captured a translator, and captured a large number of weapons (but we hid them in a dirt pit on the way, and it was too heavy to bring back), and we overcame many difficulties and dangers, but we still completed the difficult task assigned to us by our superiors to catch the "tongue". Two days later, the main force of the division rushed to Suwon, and the Japanese 4th Division had withdrawn peacefully back to Daejeon, and Suwon was once again in our hands. ”
