Chapter 103: Cannons Fight Mosquitoes
The army is the most honorable collective, and when the leaders are scolded, everyone is disgraced. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After the First Battle of Heecheon, we were ordered to march to the stadium and advance along the left bank of the Cheongcheon River to capture the Wonri area. This area is the flank and rear of the United Guojun on the Western Front, and it poses a great threat to the United Guojun after the attack.
There were no decent enemy troops along the way, and the Korean troops in this area had largely fled to Tokugawa. This made all the 38 officers and men who were holding back the fire have nowhere to go, and some of the angry soldiers blamed the incompetence and the inability to grab meat to eat.
Our regiment, as the vanguard of the whole army, was often able to encounter skirmishes. I was a little puzzled by the performance of these South Korean routs, who resisted desperately when they first saw us, preferring to die rather than surrender, and desperately fleeing when they caught the gap. But every time we pursued, as soon as we shouted, "Shoot or kill," these routs surrendered faster than one another.
On this day, I received an easy task, and the platoon commander asked me to escort a few prisoners back to the military headquarters. On the way, I couldn't help myself, and grabbed a captive and asked me about my doubts in broken Korean.
The prisoner smiled innocently and said in fluent Chinese: "Report to the chief, we used to be the Ninth Corps of the GMD, and we would have surrendered a long time ago if we knew that you were the People's Liberation Army."
I was slightly stunned, I didn't expect this to be the reason, I guess we were regarded as the People's Army in front. As for why we surrendered first and did not surrender to the KPA, anyone who has known the virtues of the KPA knows it.
Before and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large number of Koreans who had joined the Japanese army and the GMD army were repatriated, and these people had no way to survive in North Korea, forcing some soldiers whose families in North Korea fled to South Korea and did not even dare to contact their families.
I can't say anything about the People's Army's practice of directly killing people without screening, it's their own business. People are willing to push these soldiers with rich combat experience to the south, and outsiders really can't say anything.
"Don't worry, we won't hand you over to the KPA," I said, patting the soldier on the shoulder.
Unexpectedly, my unintentional words made these captives grateful, and they were very cooperative along the way.
After handing over the prisoners, we went to the quartermaster to receive supplies, which was also a task given by the platoon commander, and the ammunition consumption during the pursuit was quite large.
When we came to the quartermaster's office, there were quite a lot of people who received ammunition and materials, and there was a long queue, and after a few boxes of ammunition were distributed, the people from the quartermaster department directly told us to disperse. Now many people are not happy, why are the ones behind them gone, and they are noisy.
The people of the quartermaster department could not help it, and one of the officers in charge jumped on the wooden box and said:
"There really isn't any, we went to the top to get supplies, and people said that the road behind was bombed by the plane of the American devils, and the supplies transported were limited. They give priority to supplying troops who can fight, and we who fire empty artillery will wait first."
As soon as the officer said this, he directly fried the pot below, and it became a mess, and they all said that they wanted to go to those people to ask for an explanation.
"Enough!" A middle-aged officer pushed through the crowd and walked in.
"Deputy Commander Liu, they are too bullying!" A soldier's face flushed with anger and he lowered his head.
"People are right, we are shooting empty artillery, this is our military department sorry for everyone. But everyone must remember that we are the 38th Army of the Iron Army, and sooner or later we will win a big victory for those who look down on us! Deputy Commander Liu bowed and said.
"Good!"
"Win the battle!"
I don't know why, but I feel that this time I integrated into this army very quickly, and it was easy to be infected by the emotions of the soldiers, perhaps this is the unique charm of the Chinese army.
By the time we returned to the 113th Division, it was already the second day, just in time to attack a small village in the courtyard area.
Perhaps our advance was too fast, and this South Korean army was stuck here.
The ROK troops in the village had several tanks, and with the help of tanks, they repelled several tentative attacks of our regiment.
It may be that the fighting during the day gave them the feeling that the Chinese army was nothing more than that, and at night these people who were not afraid of death were extremely active in the encirclement.
Under the cover of night, our regiment sneaked from the front to 150 meters outside the village. I tied a straw ring around my head and quietly looked up to check on the enemy inside.
A tank was blocked at the entrance to the village, and there were several cars with headlights on the back, and on the tank stood a soldier who was muttering something. I didn't hear it clearly because it was too loud, but it didn't feel like a good word.
After scolding for a while, this guy didn't feel like it was enough, and actually took off his pants and peed in our direction.
This guy's arrogant behavior couldn't bear it, so I slowly stretched out my Type 38 rifle and locked it on his chest, just waiting for the moment when the charge horn sounded!
After peeing, this guy didn't pull up his ass, but pouted his ass and shook it vigorously, doing all kinds of obscene actions.
"These American devils are so shameless!" One of the volunteer soldiers next to me cursed in a low voice.
I took a closer look, and sure enough, I saw a blond hair, and it was really a US military officer in the South Korean army, and I wondered when the South Korean army was so kind.
"Tick tick tick..."
"Bang!"
The bugle and the gunfire rang out almost simultaneously, and the arrogant guy fell headlong to the ground.
"Oh God, you actually killed him!" Anthony exclaimed from behind me.
I ignored him, just picked up my rifle and rushed out with the big army.
In addition to our 338th Regiment, the 337th and 339th Regiments also launched attacks on both sides of the village, and for a while deafening shouts of killing sounded from three sides at the same time.
The South Korean troops, who were surrounded on three sides, panicked, some fled to the rear, some raised their guns to shoot, and some knelt down and surrendered.
"Boom!"
Three enemy tanks rushed out of the village, and two tank guns blew up a few running volunteer soldiers, followed by a dense stream of machine-gun bullets, setting off a bloody storm in the volunteer charging formation.
The enemy tanks were fierce, but after all, the distance was too close, and the South Korean infantry behind them were suppressed by mortar and could not get out of the village, and the lone enemy tanks quickly paid the price for their arrogance.
Several volunteer soldiers held explosive packs, dodged the machine-gun fire on the tank, and approached the tank's flank from the blind spot. A kilogram of high explosive packs were stuffed into the tracks of the tank, and after a loud bang, the tank rose into smoke and stopped its pace.
The remaining two tanks saw that the situation was not good, and they drove back to the village at full speed, but the volunteer soldiers who had approached could not let them do what they wanted, and after two loud bangs, they turned them into scrap metal.
After blowing up the tank, the South Korean soldiers inside seemed to have broken their backbones, and they ran away one after another, only hating their parents for having one less leg.
In just ten minutes, the South Korean army's defense line was completely defeated, and the battle turned into a pursuit without suspense, and the volunteer soldiers were all over the mountains and fields to grab the prisoners.
At this point, all the areas in the courtyard have fallen into the hands of our army, and the rear of the United Nations army has opened its door to us!
