Chapter 186: The Darkness Before Dawn
At the headquarters of the 38th Army of the Volunteer Army, Liang Xingchu sat in front of the sand table and tapped his fingers on the table, and the staff officers were also worried, at this time at 3 o'clock in the morning on February 9, 1951.
Liang Xingchu was thinking about it, and the reporter next to the newspaper stood up and said, "Report to the commander, the Stinger special combat team is coming with an urgent secret message!" ”
The report was sent to Liang Xingchu, Liang Xingchu's eyebrows became more solemn, and a chief of staff read the telegram and immediately asked Liang Xingchu: "Commander, is this credible?" Could it be a trap for the enemy? ”
Liang Xingchu glared at the sand table angrily and said: "Of course this is credible, didn't those Yankees already use it yesterday, it seems that this time the fig leaf on the ass was completely torn off, T mother, these beasts!" ”
The last four words "time is running out" in the message made Liang Xingchu feel that he couldn't sit still, and he had to act immediately!
"Command!"
Everyone in the command straightened their chests and waited for the order.
"Order Wei San to seize the opportunity and do his best to cooperate with us in attacking Pyongyang!"
"Order the 112th Division of the 38th Army to cooperate with the 771st Regiment of the 113th Division, as well as the front-line troops of the Korean People's Army, as the first batch of troops to advance in the direction of Pyongyang!"
"Yes!" The newspaper clerk immediately passed the order through the newspaper machine, and the sound of "Dididi" sounded, and Liang Xingchu immediately ordered again: "Notify the general headquarters and let the headquarters immediately send reinforcements, 100,000 urgent!" ”
The sound of "dingding" sounded very frequently, and it also reflected the tension before the war; the 38th Army had a total of only 28,000 men, and the battle last night had caused some attrition, and now the total strength of the 38th Army is less than 23,000.
Far water can't save the near fire, and now they have no way of knowing how much time the enemy has left for them, and if they don't strive to control the enemy's planes from the ground in a limited time, then not only the 38th Army, but other troops will suffer a catastrophe!
"Inform Li Yunlong to let the remaining forces of his 113th Division carry out attacks and harassment west of Pyongyang, do not rush forward, and be responsible for containing the enemy's forces!"
"Order, Zhou Weiguo's artillery unit must transport the artillery at all costs, and how many people can be left in the 112th Division depends on when their fire support can arrive!"
"Order, all idle personnel are thrown into battle, I want everyone in the 38th Army to hold guns, not rice spoons!!"
…………
"Execute the order as soon as it is received! Make no mistake! ”
In the end, Liang Xingchu said the last order in a gloomy manner: "The Thirty-eighth Army...... Banzai! ”
The newspaper man dutifully gave this last "order" out, stood up and packed up the newspaper, and the headquarters was about to move with it.
In an hour, the announcer will appear not far outside Pyongyang, and the big war is about to begin!
After the order was issued, the troops concentrated in the two cities of Suncheon and Yangdeok were quickly mobilized, although the soldiers were not told what kind of combat mission they were going to perform, it can be seen from the number of troops mobilized that they were in general, and even the cooking class was on board, which was definitely going to fight Pyongyang!
No one is excited, the current time and environment simply do not allow the volunteer military to get any advantage, this is a hard battle, to put it mildly, a bit of an egg hitting a stone.
In Yangde City, the 358th Regiment also began to assemble, and the assembly horn was blown quickly and quickly, and Ma Fangfang and other medical personnel also received an order to move with the troops immediately!
Li Yunlong also began to mobilize troops to move towards the east of Pyongyang, and more than 20,000 people sound like a lot, but the reality is that more than 20,000 of them can't even fill a corner of Pyongyang, and what is even more unfavorable is that the defenders of Pyongyang are conservatively estimated to be 50,000 miles, twice the number!
Twice as many also have strong fortifications to hide, and if the volunteer army attacked, the price to pay would be devastating, but else? Do you want to watch the bombers in Pyongyang drop bombs full of poison gas on their heads without hesitation?
Then they will be more passive!
If you don't fight, you die, and if you fight, you still have a chance, so why not fight!!
Not for themselves, for the sake of other fraternal troops, otherwise the 38th Army would not be worthy of wearing the hat of "Long Live Army"!
Today I want to show the Yankees what is the majesty of the main force! Today, I'm going to let the Yankees see what the Iron and Blood Four Tigers are!
The entire 38th Army was divided into two parts, plus a part of the Korean People's Army, that is, a total of three troops attacked Pyongyang at the same time, and these three forces also approached Pyongyang one after another.
When the 112th Division arrived at the predetermined position and the signal flare was lifted into the air, thousands of soldiers roared from the darkness: "Kill~!" ”
Because there was the absolute strength of the US army in Pyongyang, the outer defense line was as brittle as tissue paper, and the defense line was broken at the touch of a button, and the soldiers of the 112th Division, under the command of Jiang Yonghui, crossed the US defense line outside the city one step ahead, and the battle began!
The appearance of the 112th Division made the Yankees suddenly focus their attention on the front of Pyongyang, and the distance between the 112th Division, which had crossed the outer defense line, was still 800 meters away from Pyongyang, and the firepower of the US army immediately responded, the heavy machine guns fired first, and the bullet nets began to be woven out piece by piece, and the tranquility of Pyongyang was completely broken!
After the 112th Division engaged the enemy, the 113th Division caught the Yankees by surprise, reducing the firepower of the 112th Division, and at the same time changing the next move of the US troops.
The 113th Division made a feint and no longer advanced again, and then successfully pinned down part of the troops, making the deployment of the US army useless, and Li Yunlong's area fell into a stalemate.
Jiang Yonghui's 112th Division is not easy, the current 112th Division is completely paved with the bodies of the soldiers, at first glance, the casualty figure broke through double digits, the bullets of the heavy machine gun ruthlessly strangled the soldiers trapped in it, Jiang Yonghui's eyes behind the telescope were angry, and each of the fallen soldiers was like a needle piercing the heart, but he had no choice, his task was to open up the situation for the Korean People's Army, to put it mildly, his 112th Division played the role of cannon fodder, So whoever is in Jiang Yonghui's position now will not feel good.
Jiang Yonghui could only hold the telescope and squeak, and said in his heart for the soldiers who died in battle: "You are all good!" Your sacrifice will definitely save more soldiers, and I will never let you die in vain! Lao Tzu takes his life and promises! ”
The 112th Division attacked head-on, took over most of the firepower, and the casualties reached more than 300 people in five minutes, on par with 500, there was no way, the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and in front of the soldiers of the 112th Division was a fortress made of cement, yes, not one, this gray-white fortress stretched out a few hundred meters, if it wasn't for the height just over one meter on the ground, it would be a city wall!
But this is only one aspect, the US army, which has always had the advantage of firepower, naturally smashed the shells down for the first time, and in the bursts of artillery fire, the figures of the volunteer soldiers were so fragile, in this area of hundreds of square meters, it is difficult to imagine what kind of blow the people in there are suffering!
