Chapter 1170: The Battle of Yunshan Begins

Chapter 1170 The Battle of Yunshan began

"Chief, what's going on now?" Seeing that Commander Wu was leaning over and looking at the map with a serious expression, Wang Liang knew that he might be in trouble.

Not to mention that Wang Liang, the deputy director of the Operations Department of the Volunteer Army Headquarters, is temporary, even if it is official, he must respectfully call Commander Wu as a chief, and Wang Liang admires all the commanders and fighters of the People's Liberation Army in this era.

"Forward observers have found that the enemy is moving frequently, and there are signs of retreat, Xiao Wang, come and take a look." The commander beckoned to Wang Liang and motioned for him to come over and look at the map.

Wang Liang stepped forward and looked at the markings on the map, he felt that this information was not very credible, where was the reason for the First Division of the US Cavalry to surrender without a fight?

"It is very likely that the enemy of Yunshan has sensed that they are surrounded on three sides and wants to flee." The commander added.

"Chief, I don't think so. The right flank of the UN forces had been routed before they could finally determine where the troops engaged with them were coming from, and although Walker had adjusted his deployment and increased his forces across the Cheongchon River, his forces remained scattered. Driven by an inexplicable fluke, MacArthur even planned to end the war before Thanksgiving. Neither of them had a reason to retreat. Wang Liang shook his head and said.

"But now the enemy is moving frequently, and the commander of the Eighth Division can really see it on the position, and the enemy is retreating, how can this be explained?" The commander frowned, he had not fought the Americans before this, so he knew the combat habits of these Americans at all, and everything could only be carefully groped.

"I see that the United Nations forces in front of Unsan are not retreating, but the troops of the 1st South Korean Division are changing guards with the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army." Wang Liang analyzed.

"Changing guards? This is just your inference, there is no definite evidence. No, the stakes are high, and it must be reported to the General Command immediately. There are still more than three hours before the original time for attacking, and if we do not attack immediately, the fighter plane will be lost, and no one can afford this responsibility. The army commander shook his head again and again, although there is such a possibility as Wang Liang said, but once the enemy is allowed to get out of the pit, then the previous preparations will be in vain.

Wang Liang stopped talking, he firmly believed in the accuracy of his judgment, but there was no way to prove it, let alone convince the chief.

The stakes are not great, the fight now is the same as the fight in three hours, and the volunteers are fully prepared.

The commander's phone was connected to the headquarters of the Volunteer Army, and after reporting the situation, he was instructed to launch an attack immediately.

"Understand, understand, please rest assured, my 39th Army will never disgrace the Volunteer Army, we must win this battle and fight it beautifully, yes!"

After hanging up the phone, the army commander immediately called the chief of staff to issue a combat order, and Wang Liang hurriedly returned to his post.

In fact, Wang Liang's judgment was very correct, and the frequent enemy activities and signs of retreat found at the forward observation posts were precisely the fact that the United Nations forces and the South Korean army were in the process of handing over defense.

The long-awaited Chinese forces in front of Unsan were about to storm the tiny city of Unsan, and the United Nations and South Korean armies knew nothing about it.

The 39th Army, which was in a hurry, quickly made artillery preparations, the attack was three hours ahead of schedule, and the order was given in such a hurry that the artillerymen were inevitably a little anxious.

"Put!"

With the command of the artillery commander, colorful signal flares rose into the air in the twilight sky, and the sounds of various firearms shook the Yunshan Valley.

Following the artillery fire, the volunteer infantry began to attack Yunshan.

The 1st Division of the US Army had just taken over the Yunshan position, and they were still a little confused about this, and when they reacted, the volunteers had already appeared in front of them.

As soon as the battle began, the Volunteer Army cleared the small heights on the outskirts of Unsan with lightning speed, and the defense line of the South Korean army collapsed in an instant.

The position of the US Eighth Cavalry Regiment.

Regiment Commander Johnson incredulously looked through his telescope at the dense array of enemies rushing towards his position not far away, as well as the South Korean soldiers fleeing like lost dogs.

“shit! Are they clay troops? The battle was just started and was crushed, look at the state of these bastards in a trance, are they soldiers? Also, who exactly is our enemy? Hasn't the People's Army been broken up? Johnson cursed frantically at the unreliable South Korean army.

"Sir, after a ballistic check, the enemy is using Soviet-made Katyusha rocket launchers that appeared in Stalingrad during World War II." The adjutant braved the fire and ran to Johnson's side to report the information analyzed by the staff office.

"Katyusha rocket artillery? The 82-mm Katyusha rocket launcher that terrified the Germans? Johnson didn't believe his ears, could it be that the Soviet army had entered the war? That's a big problem.

"Yes, sir. The people of the staff analyzed that the appearance of such weapons meant that the attacking army was definitely not an ordinary army, and we had to deal with it carefully. The adjutant nodded.

"Damn, why do I always run into hot potatoes." Johnson slammed the stake next to him hard, and he began to understand some of the South Korean soldiers who had been beaten into a trance.

"Look, sir, they're rushing up!" The adjutant pointed ahead in horror.

Johnson looked through the binoculars and couldn't help but exclaim: "It's not the Soviets, it's the Asian face, it's the Chinese!" China has sent troops in a big way! China has sent troops! ”

Yes, China sent troops.

"Sir, they can't do it enough! Let the Chinese often be our awesome! The adjutant said.

Johnson's shock was only short-lived, and then excitement was written all over his face, "That's right, beat these hillbillies back to their hometown, and order counter-artillery preparation!" ”

“yes—sir!”

Obviously, the Americans have not yet realized how powerful their opponents are and have not correctly recognized reality.

The Volunteers could hardly see that the formation of the attackers appeared and disappeared in all directions, and it was the artillery fire of the Americans that prevented it, which did not affect the speed of the Volunteers' advance in the slightest, and they rushed in front of the American troops in an instant.

And at this time, an even more incredible scene happened.

The 347th Regiment under the 39th Army was blocked by the US machine gun shooters at a position and was forced to stop advancing, and an ordinary soldier named Zhang Sheng quietly went around the back of the machine gun position, he did not use a rifle or a grenade, but rushed up to hug the US machine gunners and rolled down the cliff together.
