"Division commander, we can't stand it anymore, the Americans' planes have been bombed for a day, the artillery has been shelled for a day, the ground offensive has not stopped, the first regiment has lost more than half, and there are less than fifty people left in each company, the situation of the second regiment is a little better, but it is also more than half of the casualties, the third regiment has given up all the forward positions, the rest of the people are holding on to four or five main positions, there are less than twenty people left in each company of Commander Guo's troops, the regimental political commissar has been sacrificed, and the most important thing is that our shells are about to run out!" The staff officer anxiously explained the situation. "But I have been ordered to hold out until tonight, and not to take a step back until then!" Liu Hai twisted back and said resolutely, "Tell all the commanders and fighters, those who retreat without permission, shoot!" ”

In fact, at this time, the Americans couldn't stand it anymore, almost all the attacking troops were replaced, and there were already two layers of corpses on the road of attack, the first layer was for the South Korean army, and the second layer was for the American army! The division commander of the US army asked to suspend the attack, but the commander of the US army refused! The commander of the US army saw very clearly that both sides were at the end of the crossbow, and it was up to him who could hold out until the last minute, so the offensive continued! The artillery fire of the US army was very fierce, the positions of the volunteers were all covered with craters, and the US planes were already exhausted, from machine gun strafing to * burning, all the weapons were used again, even the US military commander could not figure out how there would still be people on the Chinese positions!

"Ahh A regimental commander came out of the soil with all his might, his ears buzzed with shock, he spit out the dirt in his mouth, and looked around vigorously, but there was no one on the battlefield! "Anyone else? Is there anyone alive? Give it all to Lao Tzu! "The commander of the regiment screamed vigorously, and slowly knocked people out of the ground from the surrounding area that had been blown up by the air* and came out in twos and threes." Get ready! "The commander of the regiment saw that a lot of people were slowly coming out of the position, but more American soldiers and South Korean soldiers in front of the position were climbing up!" Give Lao Tzu a hit! The commander of the regiment picked up a machine gun and began to fight suddenly, and once again gunfire rang out all around, and a platoon of American troops and South Korean troops in front of the position fell!

"It can't be! It is impossible that there will be people on the positions of the Chinese, and with such a fierce bombardment, the Chinese should have died long ago! "The division commander of the US army took a telescope and looked at the Chinese position opposite in disbelief, and then looked at the soldiers who were slowly withdrawing, and cursed angrily!" We're retreating again, what are we going to do, and we're still fighting like this? Our casualties are already terrible! The deputy division commander of the U.S. Army said. Tell the troops to reorganize the attack, push the artillery up for me, and cooperate with the tank for direct shooting, I don't believe it! The U.S. division commander yelled unconvinced. Be! "The deputy division commander ran to arrange, and several American tanks and several American guns approached, intending to shoot directly at the ground!

"Quickly go and contact the ghost artillery, tell him that the enemy has placed tanks and artillery six hundred meters in front of our position, and let him fight for a while!" The head of the regiment said to his correspondent. "Yes!" The correspondent quickly passed the words of the regiment commander to the ghost cannon on a walkie-talkie! The ghost cannon is counting shells at this time, and all his shells are less than a hundred, so it won't be able to withstand the night if it goes on like this! "Regiment commander, the Americans arranged direct fire from tanks and artillery in front of the positions of the regiment, and the commander of the regiment requested to strike!" The correspondent came over and said. "Then hit! Shoot all these more than 100 rounds! The ghost cannon said, "It's over!" "Yes!" The correspondent replied and ran! The ghost artillery was very accurate, and more than a hundred shells increased the opponent's direct-aim firepower, and two tanks and several guns were all blown up!

In fact, it was not only Liu Hai and the US military commander who were on fire at this time, Li Qiwei, who was far away in Tokyo, was also anxious with a big bag, according to the summary of various circumstances, all the people who were surrounded this time were the trump cards or old troops of the Chinese Communists, as long as these troops could be eliminated, it would definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to China's military might, but what I never expected was that the US troops that had successfully detoured could not attack the enemy's last retreat blockade, and six of the thirteen divisions that had recuperated themselves were fighting against the Chinese blocking troops. There were also seven divisions in the rear to chase and intercept the besieged CCP troops, but Li Qiwei never expected that those besieged troops were even more slippery than loaches, and several divisions actually jumped out of the encirclement!

In fact, Li Qiwei didn't know that these besieged troops were all old troops, all of which had developed from guerrilla warfare during the anti-Japanese period, and under the encirclement, pursuit, and interception, each had its own strange moves, especially the 91st Regiment of the 12th Army, after being surrounded, it was quite interesting to attack the headquarters of the Third Army of the South Korean Army before trying to find a way to break through the siege, and the other troops were not ambiguous, especially the division commander of the 182nd Division, which was not simple, and after the wounded were evacuated, he took his own troops to intersperse detours between the Americans and the South Koreans. Where to shoot a shot here, I just broke out with my troops without even ten casualties, and until now, the US army and the South Korean division are still circling the world! Li Qiwei also saw that fighting sports warfare did not seem to be his strong point, but now there is still a division of the Volunteer Army that has not run away, making full use of his strength advantage to carry out a large-scale contraction encirclement!

"Mr. Peng, the 180th Division has lost contact, I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck, should you let Liu Hai and them take it down!" The staff officer asked cautiously. "Are you sure you've lost contact?" Mr. Peng asked a little unwillingly. "There's no contact anymore!" The staff officer said, "Liu Hai is resisting the attack of the enemy's six divisions, the original Liu Xiaoshan Brigade plus the reinforcements of the past troops, a total of four regiments, now one regiment commander has been killed, three regiment commanders have been wounded, and even Liu himself has been on the blocking position, if he does not withdraw... "Okay!" Mr. Peng gave the order to retreat, which was tantamount to giving up the hope of the 180th Division coming back!

"Division commander, there is about a regiment of American troops who don't know how to do it, and they actually ran behind us, and now they are attacking our flank, there is only one company there, and now they are about to be unable to withstand it!" Damn it! Give it a face! Liu Hai was worried about how to deploy troops to resist the opponent's attack, but at this time, he was actually detoured back to his buttocks! The angry bangs took out their own matching guns and called a staff officer to stay behind, in fact, don't stay behind, the battle is like this, and there is no need to command, the two sides have already killed the red eye, just see who can withstand it! "Bring the guard battalion, follow me to reinforcements, and the communications company too!" Bangs shouted. In fact, at this time, it is no longer a guard battalion, it is a guard company! Bangs led people to the back to block the detour of the American troops.

The ghost artillery, who had already finished the shells, heard that Liu Hai had hit the blocking position, so he took his gunners to go up as well, so that the American troops who had come back in a detour were finally beaten away! "Division commander, we have been ordered to retreat with the whole army!" A communications soldier stumbled over. "What? Fall back? Has the 180th Division been withdrawn? Bangs asked. No, it seems to have been lost! The correspondent said. This... "Liu Hai was shocked, how can a whole division have 10,000 people, if it is lost, it will be really miserable!" Divisional commander, what now? The correspondent asked. Obey the order and tell Zhao Zhengshan to carry out a covering strike on all forward positions and cover the retreat of all troops! "The reason why Liu Hai didn't let the rocket artillery battalion open fire again was because he wanted to wait until this time to cover the retreat of the troops! Facts have proved that this back-up is very necessary, because the American offensive has not relaxed, and the commander of the American army, who is already about to be driven crazy, even went to the attack position to cheer up the soldiers!

In fact, on the last day of Liu Hai's blockade, the commander of the 180th Division made a very bad estimate of the situation, not only did he not concentrate his forces to break through, but felt that his goal was too big and it was not easy to break through together, so he made a decision that he regretted until his death--- dispersed and broke through. The 180th Division, with a company as a unit, began to break through in four directions. The personnel of the division headquarters began to destroy the codebook, smash the radio station, burn the documents, and then began to break through! The officers and men of the 180th Division were scattered into a number of small units, and with a strong instinct for survival and an indescribable panic, they dragged their tired bodies and disappeared into the dark mountains and forests one after another.

The first to break through was a small team led by the chief of staff of the 538th Regiment. In the process of breaking through the encirclement, they successively encountered the commander of the 539th Regiment's high-altitude machine company, the third platoon commander, and the 16 men they brought with them, as well as the director of the artillery room, the 538th Regiment organization staff officer and the 14 people they led, the division organization staff officer with three people, and the engineer battalion staff officer Tian with five people. Once again, these 50-odd people formed a fighting collective, set up a temporary party branch and a regimental branch, and appointed a combat group and a group leader. After many battles, they actually approached the front line of the Chinese army's position with 14 US 24th Division prisoners, and in the final assault, the US prisoners who took the opportunity to flee in all directions were killed by US bullets, and the 180th Division's combat collective of more than 50 people finally returned to the position of the 181st Division.

In its report to the higher authorities, the 180th Division itself recorded that in the total column, the total number of wounded, killed, and unknown circumstances of the 180th Division was 7,644, including one cadre at the division level, nine cadres at the regimental level, 498 cadres at the battalion level, 201 cadres at the company level, 394 cadres at the platoon level, and 6,990 below the squad level. Most of the losses of the 180th Division were captured, and the number of prisoners was about 5,000. In the history of the Chinese army, the fate of the 180th Division on the Korean battlefield is an eternal tragedy.
