Chapter 109 Night Reading, War History under the Light

After lunch, the officers and men regained their combat effectiveness and became more energetic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The interception speed of the third shift is faster, the trenching speed of the first shift is faster, and the efficiency of reinforcing the second shift of the first and third shifts is also higher.

In this way, by about four o'clock in the afternoon, the fiber optic cable trench in the interception area was almost dug.

Basically, the required depth was reached, two meters deep.

At this time, the task of digging the fiber optic cable trenches in the fields on both sides of the second row was almost completed.

In particular, when digging a ditch that extends from the bottom of the river to both sides, the closer you get to the embankment, the deeper the ditch becomes, completing the transition from a one-meter depth in the field to a two-meter depth at the bottom of the river.

Seeing that the tasks of the two platoons were almost carried out, the company commander asked the platoons to wrap up again, raise the standards, and prepare for retreat.

After the end, the officers and soldiers returned to the village, still washing, shabu-shabu, and then helping the uncle's family to clean up the house, and then the meal began.

At night, there is no need to follow the schedule when they were in the army, some of the soldiers watch TV, some play poker, and kill their own time.

Yang Wenbin was not as easy as the soldiers, because there was still more than a month to go before the exam, and he had to hurry up and review.

He held the "Compendium of the War History of the Chinese People's Liberation Army," read it, and from time to time used a pencil to write and mark the key points.

When he read about the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, he suddenly saw that the name of the 447th Regiment was mentioned on it.

It is rare for a regiment to be mentioned in a war history alone.

I looked at it more seriously.

It turned out that this was about the deeds of the 447th Company of the 2nd Battalion and 4th Company.

On the Korean battlefield, a company of the 447th Regiment actually forced the black company of the US army to surrender en masse, which was also a miracle in the history of war, and forced the US army to change the system of black and white division.

Yang Wenbin read it carefully.

In early November 1950, the first campaign was launched in the Yunshan area, dealing a head-on blow to the so-called "United Nations Army" headed by the US imperialists that frantically invaded northward, and defeated the so-called "Founding Father" of the US Army, the First Cavalry Division of the "Ace Army," which had never lost a battle, to the point that it lost its armor and almost collapsed.

However, MacArthur, commander-in-chief of the arrogant US forces invading Korea, still believed that "the Chinese were only sending troops symbolically" and "did not admit that there was anyone else in North Korea who could compete with them." His arrogance did not subside; in late November, he launched the so-called "general offensive to end the Korean War by Christmas." He continued to divide his troops on the eastern and western fronts in a big way.

Our army, on the other hand, adopted the operational policy of showing weakness to the enemy, resisting step by step, feigning defeat and retreating, luring the enemy into depth, and then launching a counterattack at the right time, interspersed with divisions, encirclement in a roundabout way, and annihilating the enemy in each movement at the same time, and began the second campaign on 24 November.

On November 25, the 24th Regiment of the 25th Division of the U.S. Army attacked the areas of Jiudong, Xingtingdong, and Shangchodong in the southeast of Yunshan Mountain.

In order to annihilate the enemy, our 447th Regiment followed the unified deployment of the army and division, commanded the three battalions of the avant-garde, and on the night of November 26, covertly waded into the Jiulong River north of Xingtingdong, attacked and captured the 222.3 heights with the artillery support organized by the regiment, annihilated most of the enemy, and attacked and advanced to Shangjiudong;

The first task of the 2nd Battalion was to control the hill on the east side of the road from Xihuandong to Shangjiudong and cover the main force of the regiment to cross the river.

At about 5 o'clock in the morning of the 27th, when a platoon of the outpost detachment of the fourth company entered the southwest road of Dachaidong, it found that about one company of the enemy was fleeing southward. The platoon commander immediately ordered the squads to open fire and intercept the attack, and seize the favorable terrain on the east side of the road.

Company commander Zhang Zhendong quickly reported to the battalion commander Li Yuheng and the regimental command post, and immediately ordered the second and third platoons to quickly occupy the high ground west of Dachaidong.

The enemy was frightened by the sudden attack, and fled in a hurry to the depression and woods on the east side of the north side of Sangjiudong, and stubbornly resisted by relying on the high ground on the east side of Daechaidong.

At this time, the battalion conveyed the order of the regimental commander Li Zhigang: "We must annihilate the enemy of this company, and we must not let him break out." "And immediately further adjustments were made to the deployment and firepower.

At about 5:30 a.m., the enemy counterattacked our platoon with a platoon of troops. Dong Youhe, the leader of the third squad, ordered all combat groups to respond calmly. When the enemy advanced to about 40 meters, the whole squad suddenly opened fire, and machine guns, rifles, submachine guns, and grenades fired at the enemy group in a volley, killing six of the enemy, and the remaining enemy fled back to the place in confusion.

At about 6 o'clock, the enemy counterattacked again with the strength of one platoon, and fled in a southeasterly direction to cover the whole company in two directions.

Zhang Zhendong, commander of the fourth company, and Zou Fengqi, instructor, immediately ordered a platoon to rely on their existing positions to resist stubbornly, and used heavy fire to block the fleeing enemy, killing and wounding more than a dozen people. The third platoon took the opportunity to quickly seize the high ground on the east side of Dachaidong.

Shi Qianhai, the deputy company commander, personally led the second platoon to quickly encircle the enemy flank from the mountainside on the right flank and occupy favorable terrain.

Under our attack from three sides, the enemy had to retreat into the original depression and woods in a panic.

At this time, Zhang Zhendong and Zhou Fengming had already seen through the telescope that almost all of the enemies were black.

At 6:30 a.m., the enemy played another trick, waving a white flag and pretending to surrender, while at the same time stealthily approaching the left flank of our platoon with a platoon of troops.

Seeing that the enemy was engaged in a conspiracy, the leaders of the Fourth Company ordered all platoons to prepare for battle and lost no time in launching a political offensive against the enemy.

The cunning and stubborn enemy suddenly opened fire in a vain attempt to die and struggle, but was met with a fierce blow that I had prepared for, and when the enemy turned around and fled by my sudden blow, Dong Youhe, the leader of the third squad, who had made great contributions in the first battle, immediately shouted: "Comrades! The enemy is fighting, rush up and catch it alive! He bravely led the whole squad to take advantage of the situation, followed closely behind the enemy and rushed, slammed, and chased, killing and wounding more than ten enemies, and smashing the enemy's third counterattack.

However, Dong Youzhi, who had always fought bravely, was attacked by the enemy who was crouching behind the hill and died heroically, and two soldiers were wounded.

This further inspired the commanders and fighters to avenge their comrades-in-arms.

At about 7 o'clock, Li Yuheng, commander of the second battalion, commanded the fifth company to detour to the east side of the third platoon of the fourth company.

A battalion of follow-up troops also arrived, and fired flank fire, encircling the enemy.

The mountain artillery company of the regiment attached to the division carried out another rapid fire attack on the enemy's position, which was both accurate and ruthless, killing and wounding many people, causing the enemy to be extremely panicked and chaotic in his actions.

At this time, the regimental government appointed Xie Benzhi, a cultural instructor of the center with a good level of English, to come and shout to the enemy: "Black brothers in the US army, we know that you were forced to participate in the war of aggression against Korea, as long as you lay down your arms, we guarantee the safety of your lives!"

"Soldiers of the Black Company, don't continue to work for the Wall Street bosses as cannon fodder, surrender quickly!"

"The officers and men of the black company, surrender the guns and do not kill, and give preferential treatment to prisoners, this is the consistent policy of our army, as long as the guns are surrendered, we welcome them, and the injured will be treated, and you will be guaranteed to have food and clothing!"

"Oppressed black brethren, you are racially discriminated against in American society, and you are still discriminated against in the American military, and the policy of our Chinese People's Volunteer Army is to treat both white and black prisoners equally!"

Seeing that the besieged enemy had been heavily surrounded by our troops, cornered and had nowhere to escape, and the fire was so fierce, and under the influence of our policy propaganda, his company commander personally walked out of the woods with white towels in his hands and surrendered to us.

Our army immediately explained to him further our army's policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, completely relieved his ideological scruples, and ordered him to quickly tell his whole company to lay down their arms and surrender.

Under the resolute and fierce military attack and powerful political offensive of our army, the commander of the enemy company turned around and shouted to his soldiers: "Brothers, come and surrender, the volunteers will be lenient to the prisoners, as long as we lay down our arms and ensure the safety of our lives." ”

"Come here, brethren! The Chinese army does not mistreat prisoners, but feeds and wears them, and treats those who are wounded!"

"Brothers, don't hesitate any longer, I'm here, and you can't come yet!"

The shouts of the black company commander caused an even greater commotion among his soldiers, and after a while, 114 American officers and men, led by their deputy company commanders, came out of the woods with their guns raised and surrendered.

Our troops immediately bandaged and treated the wounded prisoners. In addition to the seizure of more than 80 infantry and machine guns, the personal belongings of the prisoners were not touched at all, and propaganda materials were also distributed to them, publicizing the justice of our army's operations and the reactionary nature of the war of aggression launched by US imperialism.

The comrades of the 4th Company of the 2nd Battalion of the 447th Regiment fought very bravely and tactfully, using the tactics of encircling in a roundabout way, interspersing behind enemy lines, seizing key points, and cutting off the enemy's retreat, and on the premise of inflicting a fierce military blow on the enemy, when the enemy showed panic and vacillation, they promptly and vigorously carried out political disintegration work, fought a very beautiful battle of annihilation, and ended the battle victoriously in just over two hours, completely annihilating a reinforced company of the US army, taking 115 prisoners alive and wounding 33.

This battle not only shattered the myth of the invincibility of the US invading army, but also shocked the US high command and forced it to take urgent measures to disband the 24 th regiment to which the black company belonged, change the establishment of the combat unit, and change the original black individual formation into a combat company with a mixed black and white formation, so as to strengthen the white people's supervision over the black people and avoid the recurrence of the collective surrender of the entire company, lest it add great shame to the US army.

After looking at this example, Yang Wenbin thought to himself: "The operation is actually like today's optical cable construction, seize the fighters, rationally divide labor, unite and cooperate, outflank in a roundabout way, and work hard until the end of the battle." ”
