Long Live the 38th Army (2)
"Fire!" The ghost artillery gave the order to open fire, and the shells flew to the position of the South Korean 7th Division in groups, and the 7th Division, which was suddenly hit, immediately put the whole army on alert, ready to resist the attack of the other side! However, the shells only exploded on the left side, and the explosion point was so accurate that the South Korean soldiers saw the pattern and moved closer to the right. At the same time, the 112th Division immediately began to charge, directly attacking the right side of the South Korean Army, so that the South Korean Army naturally moved closer to the right, and a gap was leaked in the area that was originally connected with the 8th Division! "Tell Commander Liang that things are going well and the troops can go!" Liu Hai said to the operator. With the blow of Liu Hai, the two main divisions of the 38th Army began to intersperse with detours, and from the gap that was punched out by Liu Hai, they directly inserted themselves into the Tokugawa behind the Second Army of the South Korean Army!
Next to a high ground behind the flanks of the Second Army Corps, a large group of "South Korean Army" was quietly slipping past the front of the position, and one of the officers leading the team was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion, Lee Kuiyin! Li Kuiyin is not only bold, but also brave in battle, and belongs to the type of wisdom and bravery, so he was entrusted with a heavy task by Commander Liang! "Battalion commander, there is a US military sentry in front, if you bypass it, I'm afraid it will be too late!" The investigator in front, Xiao Li, came back to report. Li Kuiyin didn't panic, but looked at the sentry in front of him, and it happened to be on top of the pass to Wuling Bridge. After observing, Li Kuiyin did not find that there were South Korean troops on the checkpoint, and after looking at his watch, Li Kuiyin came up with a bold method: disguised as South Korean troops, swaggered over!
A battalion of South Korean troops lined up in a neat line, carrying guns and flashlights, and swaggered towards the sentry post. Li Kuiyin walked in the front, constantly watching the reaction of the US troops on the sentry post. As the troops got closer and closer, Li Kuiyin's sweat was about to flow down, if the enemy was alarmed, not only could the interspersed tasks not be completed, but the Wuling Bridge could not be blown up, and the entire battle process would be affected at that time! After entering the checkpoint, the troops did not stop, only Li Kuiyin walked towards the US troops next to him. "Smack!" Li Kuiyin saluted, and then began to stir up the Chinese dialect with the little Korean he only knew, anyway, this American soldier can't understand North Korean! Sure enough, Lao Mei was confused when she heard it, and finally Lao Mei saw that Li Kuiyin's kettle lid was gone, so she smiled, made a clear gesture, and walked into her outpost. After a while, this old-fashioned and warm-hearted U.S. military gave Li Kuiyin a brand-new U.S. military kettle. Li Kuiyin took the kettle, saluted the US troops again, and then turned around and left!
"It's so fucking hanging!" Li Kuiyin felt that his back was full of sweat. "That's right, not only did I just come over, but I also earned a kettle!" Xiao Li looked at Li Kuiyin and said with a smile. "Luck, that is, bullying that US soldier doesn't understand Korean, if there is a South Korean army on the sentry, it will be difficult to say!" Li Kuiyin said with some fear. "It's good to come here, we are probably less than ten miles away from Wuling Bridge!" Xiao Li said. "How do you know?" Li Kuiyin asked in some surprise. "That's what our guide said!" Xiao Li said. "Call Da Kui out and tell him that let his sharp knife platoon take the position on the bridge and fight for a good environment for the demolition team!" Li Kuiyin said. "No problem!" After Xiao Li agreed, he ran out. "Boom, boom!" A series of explosions sounded, Li Kuiyin successfully blew up the Wuling Bridge, after the collapse of the bridge body of the Wuling Bridge, it means that the retreat of the 7th Division of the 2nd Army of South Korea was cut off, and the entire 7th Division was surrounded in a narrow area north of Wuling and south of Tokugawa, because after the main force of the 7th Division in front was attacked, it ran back to Tokugawa as soon as possible! After a night of galloping, the two main divisions of the 38th Army began to attack Tokugawa!
Just when the main force of the Seventh Division was retreating, Liu Hai took his artillery regiment and Liu Xiaoshan's brigade and began to advance south with the troops of the Seventh Division! Liu Hai followed unhurriedly, neither forcing the other party, nor having the intention of leaving, but just followed and advanced southward, until it was time to advance to the Five Dragon Cave, Liu Hai stopped and ordered Liu Xiaoshan to seize the Five Dragon Cave! When Liu Xiaoshan led his soldiers to rush up, he found that the enemy fortifications, weapons and ammunition in Wulong Cave were neatly placed there, but there was not half a person, and everyone saw that after the main force of the Seventh Division retreated south, they hurriedly threw down everything and withdrew to Tokugawa like a gust of wind! Liu Xiaoshan, who was dumbfounded, said in his heart that when the national army's miscellaneous cards fled, at least he would not run so thoroughly, picked up a brand-new * casually, and shouted "Thank you" to the South Korean army that had already run away! ”
"Division commander, the enemies of the Five Dragons Cave have run out, and we have occupied the Five Dragons Cave!" Liu Xiaoshan said. "Great, the South Korean army's will to survive seems to be beyond my imagination! Order the ghost artillery to start setting up artillery, and ah, don't take off the South Korean flag on the position, and keep it floating there! Bangs said. Be! Liu Xiaoshan agreed and ran away. It wasn't until later that Liu Hai realized how wise his decision not to withdraw the flag was, and during the whole day of encircling and suppressing the enemy in Tokugawa, the planes supported by the US military were stunned to find the CCP's artillery, and it was reported that the CCP had a huge artillery supported by the Soviet Union that could hit Tokugawa from northeast China!
"Attack with all your might, take Tokugawa in one day, and annihilate the enemy's seventh division!" The commander of the 113th Division personally took up the broadsword and rushed into Tokugawa Castle with his troops shouting! Tokugawa Castle is located in the key point, the surrounding four highways converge here, belong to an important support point of the battle, more than 5,000 people of the Seventh Division were surrounded in Tokugawa, the commander of the Seventh Division was also very confident to send sappers to repair the Wuling Bridge, the result was that after the bridge was blown up, Li Kuiyin turned to defense on the spot ambushed, killed a piece of armor and left no behind, and the remaining few remnants slipped back to Tokugawa City! "Fire!" Liu Hai overlooks Tokugawa Castle from a large tree on the top of the mountain with a telescope, and directs the artillery to begin to support the attacking troops! The officers and men of the 38th Army of the attacking force attacked bravely, and kept blowing up the fortifications in Tokugawa Castle with * and blasting canisters, and the progress was rapid! Of course, the most important thing is the low combat effectiveness of the South Korean army!
When the 38th Army was struggling to attack Tokugawa, the main force of the 42nd Army also began its own offensive battle, and the two divisions launched attacks on Yongbyon and Monsan respectively. The fall of Tokugawa, Yongbyon, and Monsan, directly wiped out the Second Army Corps of the South Korean Army, and the lives of more than 10,000 South Korean troops may not have MacArthur in mind, but the key is the elimination of the Second Army Corps of the South Korean Army, which directly led to the collapse of the right flank of the attacking United Nations Army, the door was wide open, and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse! At the same time, the 1st Volunteer Army attacked the 2nd Division of the U.S. Army in the Sinsing-dong and Sumin-dong areas north of the stadium, and then directly penetrated to the west of Tokugawa and Xichang to block the U.S. Army's eastward reinforcement;
At the same time, the 50th Army, the 66th Army, and the 39th Army of the Chinese Volunteers attacked the 24th Division of the First Army of the US Army, the 27th Brigade of the British Army, and the 1st Division of the South Korean Army from the frontal in the Jeongju, Taecheon, and Unsan areas. The 38th Army and the 42nd Army occupied the Tokugawa and Nyongwon areas and annihilated most of the 7th and 8th Divisions of the South Korean Army, opening a gap in the campaign. In order to plug the gap, the United Nations forces urgently transferred the Turkish brigade from the Valcheon to the direction of Tokugawa, and the 1st US Cavalry Division from Shunchon to the direction of Sinchang-ri to stop the advance of the volunteers. In order to develop the victory of the campaign, the leaders of the Volunteer Army ordered the 38th Army and the 42nd Army to attack and advance to Junyu-ri, Sansho-ri, Sunchon, and Suchuan respectively, and to carry out a double-layered battle detour, cut off the retreat of the US Eighth Army, and order all the armies in front of the Qingchuan River to immediately encircle and annihilate the enemy.
The next day, the 40th and 39th armies approached the stadium and Yongbyon respectively; The 66th Army advanced to Guchengdong and Longshan Cave; The 50th Army advanced to the Five Dragons Cave. The 42nd Army, which was tasked with the outer detour, captured Beicangli and continued to advance in the direction of False Cangli. The 38th Army, which was tasked with the inner roundabout, was ordered to occupy the Peide Station and Wayuan areas. However, when the 38th Army was advancing towards the Peide Station and Wayuan area, it was met with a strange resistance in the area of Garilyeong and Yukou Station, and the reason why it was strange was that the military flag and uniforms of this unit were different from those of the US Army and the South Korean Army, and it was also equipped with a long knife. Out of vigilance against the unknown, the troops moving forward were cautious and slow when attacking!
Liang Xingchu, the commander of the 38th Army, who was blocked, was in a hurry, and he moved to pick up the enemy's car wheels with his feet, but now he was blocked again, so he had to ask Liu Hai's artillery to quickly go to the area of Gariling and Yukou Station to support! According to the needs of the operation, Liu Hai immediately took the running group to the area of Jiari Ridge and Yukou Station, and after arriving at the place, Liu Hai went to the front line to observe and found that the enemy unit blocking the 38th Army was the Turkish army, which was a unit that basically maintained the level of World War I. After hearing Liu Hai's words, the commander of the 113th Division scolded angrily, immediately ordered the troops to start attacking, and asked Liu Hai's artillery support!
When the battle started, it was found that the Turkish unit not only had a local character in its name, but also had a strong combat form and tactical ability, and even discharged the infantry formation of the First World War, and the rows rushed over step by step, and the officers led by the officers held high the sabers and were mighty and majestic, but they were vulnerable in front of the machine guns, coupled with the artillery support of Liu Hai, the Turkish long knives were picked up by the bayonets of the Chinese soldiers and knocked to the ground, and the resistance was broken through, and the two main divisions of the 38th Army successfully arrived at Peide Station and Wayuan area.
