Everyone hurriedly got out of the house, and saw that the troops had been assembled, and there were many soldiers around who were hurriedly coming out of the surrounding houses and streets.

"Let's go!"

When the troops were almost assembled, Company Commander Sun shouted and ran south with the people.

"What's going on?"

Many people are confused.

Company Commander Sun said to everyone as he walked: "The American devils have run away, we can't let them run away, we have to catch up." ”

After listening to this, everyone marched with full strength.

After the enemy of Heecheon fled, Shiji ordered the 38th Army to quickly attack and advance in the direction of Sindong-ri, Stadium, and Gjunyu-ri, and make a detour to the enemy's flank and rear, and cooperate with the 39th Army and the 40th Army to annihilate the enemy in the Onjeong and Unsan areas, so as to open up the Korean occupation and create a favorable situation for continuing to annihilate the enemy.

At this point, the 38th Army embarked on a series of intense combat operations.

Along the way, towns and villages were burning, smoke and smoke filled the air, the corpses of the people who had been killed were strewn all over the field, and the pungent smell of blood and burnt paste was everywhere along the way, and the Korean people suffered an unprecedented catastrophe.

The pursuit lasted all night, and the sky shimmered in the distance, and the regimental commander ordered the troops to rest along the mountains, forests, roads, and fields.

Zhou Mao saw a house that was still in good condition, got into it with a futon, fell asleep when he fell, ran for a day and a night, he was so tired, he fell down for a while, and the snoring got up.

When the sky was bright, Zhou Mao stared at him in a daze, and when he woke up, he found that there were five dead bodies of North Korean people brutally killed by knives in the room, an elderly man in his seventies, a woman in his thirties, and a child in his teens, a family.

"Squad leader, squad leader."

Zhou Mao hurriedly ran out.

When everyone came in and took a look, they were shocked by the tragic situation in front of them, and then their hearts were filled with anger.

Once upon a time, their country was invaded by the enemy, whose bayonets were fiercely swung at the defenseless people.

The most important reason why they rose up to resist, in addition to no longer being oppressed and exploited, was to build a country full of peace.

This bloody fact makes the wounds that have happened to them and have almost healed faintly painful, and only increases the hatred of the fighters for US imperialism.

At this time, although the enemy had already noticed the entry of the Chinese army into Korea, the estimate of the strength of the volunteer army was seriously underestimated, and many countries within the United Nations army were symbolic troops, so they thought that the volunteer army was only a symbolic troop, only tens of thousands of troops, and its purpose was only to protect the border.

Therefore, when Xichuan was attacked by the volunteers, the enemy adjusted his deployment while continuing to attack the Yalu River as if he had nothing to do.

Even MacArthur spoke rampantly about hitting the Yalu River on Christmas Eve.

The enemy was so rampant that he did not take the Volunteer Army seriously in the slightest, and Shiji consulted with Jingbei and agreed that Shiji should adopt the plan of carrying out a roundabout campaign behind enemy lines and combining frontal assault, concentrating troops, and annihilating the enemy in Unsan, Taecheon, and Stadium.

He also demanded that all the 38th Army and one division of the 42nd Army cut off the enemy's rear route on the Qingchuan River, and that the other armies and divisions should penetrate behind the enemy's flanks and carry out the division of the enemy and annihilate each one, so that the war would be victorious.

The commander of the 38th Army felt that the Battle of Xichuan, the 38th Army had pounced on the air, and this battle must be fought well, and after pondering, he decided that the 113th Division would still be the vanguard and carry out the task of interspersing and cutting off the enemy's retreat.

The 113th Division, which received the order, immediately set out.

After the Battle of Xichuan, Comrade Zhang Fu, who had just arrived at the Eighth Regiment of Sansan, received another order to immediately take up the task of returning to the division, and after he was busy in the division for more than six hours, he finally finished handling the backlog of parts, and he was ordered to return to the Eighth Regiment of Sansan.

Because at this time, the division had already determined that the 338th Regiment would advance lightly and carry out the task of interspersing a detour back to the south of Yuanchuan, although he was extremely tired and wanted to sleep for a few hours, but for the sake of victory in the battle, he did not say a word, and set off with his things.

Seeing that he was exhausted, the division sent two messengers to carry things for him.

At that time, everyone in the division felt tired, but since the contact with the enemy in Xichuan, the task of traitor was not completed, and everyone was very angry, in order to find fighters, tired of running for their lives, they also gritted their teeth and persevered, chasing the enemy with two legs.

Everyone wants to catch up with the enemy, fight a good battle, and report the victory to the motherland.

The commander of the 112th Division is surnamed Yang, his name is Dayi, he is a rough man, but he is delicate, brave and strategic, and he is even more resolute and ruthless in battle, and he took the 335th Regiment of the 112th Division of the avant-garde regiment to the front of the 113th Avant-garde Division, which caused the commander of the 113th Division to be dissatisfied:

"What's the matter, Yang Dayi actually ran in front of me?"

The chief of staff of the regiment smiled and said: "Let them go in the head, let them make a new hole in the army, and cover you to insert it." ”

Although Comrade Jiang Chao was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to obey the orders of the army.

Now that the 112th Division has become the vanguard, the soldiers of the 335th Regiment and the 3rd Company of the 335th Regiment who are walking in the head see ten rooms and nine emptiness along the way, the flames of war are burning between towns and towns, and the smoke of gunpowder is enveloping half of the sky. Win glory for the trifecta! ’

The soldiers were afraid of being robbed of the combat mission by other companies, and couldn't wait to get to the camp, so each platoon elected representatives, and even the cooking squad led by the elder Liu was not far behind, everyone asked for battle, Xiao Heping took the lead: "Squad leader, let me go, I promise to grab the task!" ”

So, Xiao Heping followed the representatives selected by each platoon and went to the battalion commander on the Xingjun Road to ask for battle.

"Battalion commander, you have caught up with the enemy, and you have to hand over the arduous task to our third company!"

The battalion commander looked at the active fighters and was happy and relieved, "The most difficult task now is to bite the enemy!" Catch the enemy, you will fight! ”

On the night of October 30, the land was in chaos with goose feathers and heavy snow.

The soldiers of the 3rd Company of the 335th Regiment pursued the enemy to the Hwapyeong Station on the banks of the Cheongchon River, which had been destroyed by the enemy, and was in ruins, and there was no Korean people in sight, and most of them had fled to the north.

At this moment, they finally caught up with the retreating enemy, and a battalion of the enemy occupied the beachhead south of the Yangtze River to cover the retreat of the puppet Sixth Division.

Before he got close to the riverside, he heard the rumbling sound of artillery fire, and standing on a hillside in the distance, he could see the flickering fire at the riverside ferry, flickering and flickering.

Translator Zhao Ruilong saw such a scene for the first time, his whole body was tense, and Company Commander Sun shouted: "Elder Liu, come here, your cooking class protects Zhao Translator, and the others, follow me." ”

After that, Company Commander Sun led people and began to rush down the mountain.

"Translator Zhao, follow us later." Elder Liu said with concern, "Xiao Heping, Zhou Mao, Xia Yuan, the three of you look at the dots, do you hear?" ”

"Yes!"

The three of them responded.

Xia Yuan looked at the riverside and listened to Xiao Heping's muttering: "Grandma, the American devils are really rich, and before our people have arrived, the American devils' cannons have begun to sound." ”

Zhou Mao responded pantingly while running: "Wait, when we are strong, we don't need money for the cannon." ”

The Qingchuan River is waist-deep and can be crossed, and Company Commander Sun will never give the enemy a chance to breathe, so he ordered Chen Shoulu, a machine gunner in the third platoon, to mount a heavy machine gun on the river beach.

The goose feathers and snow were blowing, and the river was bitterly cold, but it could not erode the hot hearts of the soldiers.

Even though the icy river water froze the soldiers of the Third Company to shiver and their teeth rattle, the soldiers held their guns in both hands and struggled to advance in the churning river set off by the artillery fire.

As soon as the team arrived in the center of the river, the enemy suddenly opened fire, bullets gradually rained in the river, and some fighters were wounded and fell, but did not stop, gritted their teeth, rushed over in one breath, and under the cover of the rear machine gunners, lay on the cold, dry and hard riverside mud, and fired at the enemy's beachhead.

The unwounded soldier held the gun, charged at the enemy's machine-gun fire point, approached the enemy's fire point, slid his body to the ground, elbows resting on the cold earth, and quickly crawled forward, the speed was not slow at all, some soldiers were vigorous and sensitive, and climbed over the enemy's obstacles, in one go, as fast as lightning, as if flying close to the ground.

Where has the enemy ever seen such a desperate team, so frightened that the enemy fled in a hurry and was crushed in Nanshan in Xinxingdong.

The snowflakes were still falling, after taking the beachhead, the troops stopped and waited, the soldiers' clothes were soaked by the river, and in a short period of time, the cotton pants and shoes were covered with a thin layer of ice, and the cold clothes and pants were close to the skin, so that the soldiers were swaying all over, and their teeth were rattling.

The backs of their sweat-soaked padded jackets were also frosty, and they squatted in the shell crater, some stomping their feet to keep warm, some rubbing their hands incessantly.

It was too cold, there was not the slightest sleepiness, no one spoke, only the sound of teeth colliding, and everyone was quietly waiting for a new combat mission.

I don't know who shouted: "The company commander is back!" ”

The soldiers jumped up excitedly and asked the company commander what new combat mission he had brought back.

After Company Commander Sun took the beachhead, he went to the battalion commander to receive a new combat mission, and with a smile on his face, he boldly announced: "Expel the enemy in Nanshan, control the position, and cover the roundabout troops crossing the river!" ”

When the soldiers heard this, they were very happy, and they did not feel that the weather was cold, and they shouted one after another, checked their ammunition, packed up their weapons and equipment, and prepared to continue fighting the enemy.

Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was so high, Lian Commander Sun waved his hand and asked Instructor Hu to inform the elder Liu later, and after the war, he could make some canned meat of foreign devils and cook some hot broth, so that the soldiers could drink and warm their bodies.

When the soldiers heard this, their enthusiasm for fighting became even higher, and they all asked Company Commander Sun to quickly give an order, and when the enemy in Nanshan was beaten away, they drank the broth.

Company Commander Sun led the people to continue to move forward.

"Boy, it's not cold."

Machine gunner Chen Shoulu, who accompanied the soldiers of the machine gun team, carried heavy machine guns, and when he crossed the river, he couldn't help but smile and asked, seeing Xia Yuan staring at them.

"It's okay, you're cold."

"It's cold, why isn't it cold."

Chen Shoulu felt his teeth chatter, and said with a smile: "Want to go to the front line? ”

Xia Yuan nodded, and Chen Shoulu said: "Go to the instructor and say that you have made meritorious contributions, and you will definitely be allowed to go to the front line." ”

"Hopefully."

Elder Liu crossed the river with the cooking squad and the soldiers of the machine gunner combat group, and saw that Instructor Hu and several soldiers were cleaning the beachhead on the riverside, and Elder Liu asked: "Instructor, what about the company commander?" ”

"On a mission." Instructor Hu said with a smile: "Look, these weapons and equipment are all just captured by us, the soldiers have won the battle, happy, the company commander asked you to get some canned meat and cook some broth to drink." ”

With smokeless stoves, the soldiers do not need to drink cold water and eat cold meals, and the cooking squad follows the company in the rear, and smokeless stoves can be dug anytime and anywhere.

"The canned meat is ready for you, don't say it, these American devils are really rich, look at these cans, they look fresh." Instructor Hu asked the soldiers to bring two cardboard boxes, opened them, and with the help of the flickering fire of the artillery, the metallic cans were neatly placed in the boxes.

When the elder Liu heard that the soldiers had won a big victory, he smiled and said happily while Xia Yuan and they cleaned up the canned meat: "Look, I promise to let the soldiers eat hot meals." ”

Xia Yuan listened to the rumbling cannon, felt a little itchy in his hands, and chased after the instructor: "Instructor." I want to go to the front too! ”

Instructor Hu took a military coat and draped it on Zhao Ruilong, and when he heard Xia Yuan's words, he shook his head and said, "This is not a business, you have never participated in the war, so stay in the cooking class first." ”

As he spoke, he took out another military coat and threw it to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan stuffed the military coat to Instructor Hu and said, "Instructor, I'm not cold, give the military coat to the wounded soldier." ”

"Hey, you digger." Instructor Hu looked at Xia Yuan who ran away and smiled helplessly.

Seeing this, Zhao Ruilong took off his military coat, "Instructor Hu, give the coat to the wounded, I can still bear it." ”

Instructor Hu said helplessly: "Another digger." ”

Just when the soldiers were pursuing the victory, the 8th Regiment of the 113th Division, which was responsible for the roundabout task, passed through Xinxingdong, but the enemy scattered in Nanshan turned back, reoccupied the position, and blocked the road with platoon artillery, and the 337th and 339th Regiments of the 113th Division were blocked here and failed to follow up with the 338th Avant-garde Regiment.

Commander Jiang of the 113th Division was anxiously restless, and if he was delayed here for a day, he would delay the fighter plane and need to make a detour.

The staff officer of the army arrived at the front of the 112th Division early, and when he heard that the 335th Regiment had captured Xindongli, he immediately set off for the command post of the 335th Regiment.

"Last night, I used two battalions of troops, attacked several times, and I didn't take it down."

Fan Tianen's orders to his superiors have always been resolutely carried out.

In order to ensure that the main force quickly carried out the roundabout task and accelerated the solution of the current enemy, the commander asked the 335th Regiment to use the reserve battalion as well, gather the strength of the whole regiment, and the three battalions worked closely together to launch a fierce attack on the enemy in Xindong.
