Chapter Thirty-Six: Speculation After Getting Lost
The Polar Bear Regiment of the 7th Division!
Xia Yuan shrank back and suddenly remembered something.
The Battle of Changjin Lake lasted for ten days, and the battle of Xinxingli annihilated the 31st Regiment of the Seventh Division of the U.S. Army, which is also known as the 'Polar Bear Regiment', in fact, according to the intelligence of the Volunteer Army, a battalion of the U.S. Army was stationed in Xinxingli at that time.
On the contrary, in the direction of going to the Battle Lake, our army judged that it was the 31st Regiment of the US Seventh Division, that is, the Polar Bear Regiment, so the main force in Xinxingli at that time was the 80th Regiment of the 81st Division and the 242nd Regiment of the 81st Division, and the main force of the 81st was going to the Battle Lake, in fact, there was only one battalion of the US Army going to the Battle Lake. (The reason for the error in intelligence was that the Ninth Corps entered Korea in a hurry, and in this snowy and snowy foreign mountainous area, it could not speak well, and only relied on the intelligence obtained by personnel reconnaissance.) )
On November 26, the 7th Division of the U.S. Army led the 3rd Battalion of the 31st Regiment, the 1st Battalion of the 32nd Regiment, the 57th Field Artillery Battalion and some reinforced detachments to form the 31st Regimental Combat Team (Reinforced Regiment) with the headquarters of the 31st Regiment, and entered the Xinxingli area on the east bank of Changjin Lake.
On November 27, the battle began, the guns intersected, and the firepower of the American army was exposed, and our troops found that they had seriously ignored the enemy's forces invested in Changjin Lake.
The New Polar Bear Regiment also arrived at Xinxingli on the 26th, the day before the battle began.
The Battle of Changjin Lake is about to start, all the teams are rushing to Changjin Lake, and they encountered the Polar Bear Regiment at this time, which inevitably makes Xia Yuan wonder if the Polar Bear Regiment rushed to Xinxingli from the direction of Zhan Lake, in fact, Xia Yuan is not fully aware of these situations, he is also in a state of confusion now, his understanding of the Battle of Changjin Lake is only in the movie, this US Army will not be another team, because according to the deployment of Changjin Lake, in addition to the Seventh Division and the South Korean Army, it is the First Marine Division of the United States.
However, the 1st Marine Division of the United States has been deployed in Liutanli, Xiajieyuli, and Gutuli, and he has not encountered the deployment of the US troops along the way, which can only show that the road in front of him is not the road on which the 1st Marine Division is traveling, and it is not feasible for the US Army to swagger on the road to be the 1st Marine Division, so it is very likely that it is the 7th Marine Division.
No matter how bad the American army he encountered was other troops, but Xia Yuan felt that it was unlikely, he walked towards the south, only through the direction of Changjin Lake, unless he didn't even go in the right direction.
Although Xia Yuan doesn't know much about the campaign to resist US aggression and aid Korea, he still knows more about some of the events, among which there are not two troops in Changjin Lake, the Polar Bear Regiment of the 1st Marine Division and the 7th Marine Division, no way, whoever let the Changjin Lake movie eliminate the Polar Bear Regiment, and the purpose of the Battle of Changjin Lake is also to eliminate the 1st Marine Division of the United States.
"Calculate the time, it's still a long time before the battle starts, how can this team be here, and where is my current position?"
Xia Yuan, who was crawling on the snow, was a little confused, according to the time calculation, the polar bear group appeared in Xinxingli on the 26th, and now it is at most the 20th, or even the 18th-19th, that is, he went in the wrong direction.
The Polar Bears are on a mission else!
Xia Yuan, who was holding the gun, didn't know how to take the next step for a while, he was completely lost, but one thing is certain, that is, the road ahead is impassable, and the appearance of the Seventh Division of the United States is the most effective proof.
Further ahead, it is estimated that it is the occupied area of the US military.
"Maybe I need to change direction."
Just when Xia Yuan was confused.
Daelm Cave direction.
After listening to the words of the little comrade of the 7th Interspersed Company, Secretary Liu observed the US planes in addition to assisting Marshal Peng in his daily work these days, and he found that the number of US troops in the sky over this area was very small at first, but with the passage of time, the number of US planes gradually increased.
"Xiaoshan, you are the translator of the radio station, is there a possibility that the signal of the radio will cause noise interference to the US military planes, causing our location in Dayudong to be exposed."
He looked at the little warrior beside him.
Zhang Xiaoshan thought about it seriously: "There may not be no such possibility, the radio signal will spread to the sky, once in the Anti-Japanese War period of the data record, there are Japanese troops through the radio signal, to intercept our army's telegram, and even interfere with our army's radio signal, so, the US military with more advanced weapons and equipment, there is a high probability that this will be discovered, Secretary Liu, here are all the chiefs, if you can, the important information in the house is moved to the hole, rather believe it than believe it." ”
Secretary Liu was thinking, and he thought about it seriously, "I will report this matter to the chief." ”
That night, Secretary Liu and several leaders discussed the matter until late at night, and the radio signal would cause noise and interference to the enemy's planes, which aroused the vigilance of the leaders. It was decided to move important materials, the chief's office, the confidential office, and the operations office to the cave, and to transmit information in the cave without affecting the radio signal, just in case, that is, the bombing of enemy planes by the US military.
On November 23, 1950, US planes circled over the Daeyudong area from time to time. On the 24th, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army received a telegram from the Intelligence Bureau, prompting: "The enemy has discovered the location of the headquarters of the Volunteer Army, pay attention to air defense and security work." "Until November 25, U.S. bombers bombed the Dayudong area.
The chief looked at the mess after the US bombardment, and said with palpitations: "Thanks to the reminder of that little soldier, otherwise this bombing of Dayudong will have a huge fluctuation in commanding the front-line soldiers." From the 24th, we received the information, and we were too late for a day. ”
