On the afternoon of the 26th, the 40th Army, the right neighbor of the 38th Army, launched an attack on the enemy American troops in front of it, occupied the Sumin Cave east of the stadium, and attacked the enemy in Xinxing Cave.

The 42nd Army on the left has occupied Ningyuan and is developing an offensive in the direction of Beicang.

After the 38th Army encircled Tokugawa on all sides, it intensified its siege of Tokugawa's enemies.

In order to focus on attacking the US army in the next step, the Battle of Tokugawa should not be delayed for a long time, and it must be resolved quickly.

The headquarters of the 38th Army ordered all divisions to take Tokugawa on the 26th.

The 112th Division was also to be pulled back and attack Tokugawa from the west.

The 335th Regiment had been ordered to fortify Yunsongli in order to prevent the enemy from the west from moving to the east, and the enemy on the west was the target of the 40th Army on the right, when the 40th Army launched an attack on the American troops facing the enemy on the afternoon of the 26th.

The U.S. army, which was facing the enemy, needed to fight against the 40th Army, so it had no time to take care of the Tokugawa Puppet 7th Division.

Thus, the 38th Army was able to gather its forces and begin an onslaught on Tokugawa from all sides in the afternoon.

In the direction of Matsushita-sato, only one company of the 335th Regiment was left to fortify, and the rest of the forces were assembled in the morning in the west of Tokugawa.

Since the enemy was advancing towards the Yalu River, and the Volunteer Army in front of it was 'overwhelmed', the enemy did not intend to stay in Tokugawa for a long time, and even planned to advance to the Yalu River, so the fortifications inside Tokugawa were extremely rudimentary.

In addition, their combat effectiveness and firepower are completely disproportionate to those of the US military.

When the encirclement was reduced, the enemy was defeated and unorganized, like a fish in a net trying to break through the fishing net and rushing indiscriminately, completely melee with the 38th Army.

Gunshots, cannons, rang out in all directions.

"Grandma's, it's messed up."

The three companies that rushed forward also sensed that something was wrong.

Before this entered the Tokugawa, the surrounding area was already in chaos, and a large number of fleeing enemies and the encircled volunteer army had stirred up the entire Tokugawa into a pot of porridge.

Artillery fire, gunsmoke, bullets, grenades, intertwined.

On the outskirts of Tokugawa, the enemy left a large number of corpses and gathered towards the center of Tokugawa, and the Volunteers soon occupied the positions on the outskirts of Tokugawa and narrowed the encirclement of Tokugawa.

The three companies fought for several hours, but they did not enter the Tokugawa in a big way, the Tokugawa was a puppet military division, they only had one company, and it was very dangerous to enter the Tokugawa at this moment.

Moreover, the superiors did not give the order to the third company to plunge directly into the enemy's abdomen, and according to the orders of the superiors, to take the Tokugawa, it was necessary to hurry up, but not too anxious, and the hot tofu could not be eaten in a hurry.

The encirclement was narrowed little by little, gradually devouring the Tokugawa.

According to the battle plan of the superiors, it was planned to capture Tokugawa within one day.

At this moment, the enemies in Tokugawa were already in chaos, and they knew very well what was happening now.

The volunteers surrounded them, and many soldiers felt incredible.

Just yesterday, they were dreaming of ending the Korean War, and the Americans gave them the task of advancing to the Yalu River.

Today, the situation on the entire Korean battlefield was dramatically reversed, and Tokugawa was surrounded by the enemy in just one day.

Even a lot of people don't understand what's going on.

After a small half-day battle, they successfully took this village and relied on the village to establish a defensive line.

Tokugawa was just to the east of them, and the smoke of gunpowder rose around Tokugawa, filling the air, and a pungent smell floated in the air.

Company Commander Sun and the commanders and fighters of the Third Company formed a temporary company headquarters in one room.

"Since entering the DPRK, many comrades have left us one after another, and they are all excellent fighters."

"And our footsteps cannot be stopped, the war has not yet been won, and the enemy has not been beaten away."

"Even if more people die in the future, we will continue on this road."

"Not only for meritorious service, but also for our motherland. In the past few decades, we have suffered too many misfortunes, and now, with the founding of New China, the days of peace have arrived, and the people live happily. ”

"But the flames of war are still burning, and they are trying to destroy our happy life and bring the flames of war to our homes."

"We can't sit still!"

At the meeting, everyone gathered together, listening to Instructor Hu's words, and clenched their fists hard.

In several battles in a row, the casualties of each platoon were not small, it was not for the existence of Xia Yuan, the third company was invincible, and the soldiers were still flesh and blood.

In addition, the third company is a battalion of sharp knives, trump cards, and ace companies must have strong combat effectiveness, heroic fighting style, and fearless sacrifice spirit.

The soldiers cherish this hard-won honor very much, and they are willing to sacrifice their lives to maintain the collective honor.

Such an emotion, as a modern Xia Yuan, is quite moving.

It was not the first time he had been touched by the fearless spirit of the warriors, even if he had experienced it countless times, every time he truly integrated into them, this emotion would be inadvertently magnified.

The third company guarded the village and waited for a new task from the superiors.

The gunfire of Tokugawa did not go out, but intensified, and the divisions did not stop attacking the Tokugawa position, but the mission of the third company ended early, and the other units had not yet completely captured the enemy's position.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, more than 1,800 puppet troops who tried to break through the encirclement poured along the Tokugawa and Kagawa highways, but were met with head-on attacks by the troops guarding the road, and the enemy was crushed, turning around and running towards the west side of the road.

They ran desperately south along the Datong River.

The enemy in front went down the river, and the enemy behind scrambled forward, like dumplings.

The first and second squads led by Hou Zhengpei, instructor of the 5th Company of the 336th Regiment, were in charge of guarding the river beach, and they saw the enemy jumping into the Datong River on a high ground on the river beach and felt that the enemy had entered their attack range.

Hou Zhengpei shouted: "Fight!" ”

Suddenly, the bullets and grenades exploded in the enemy group, and the enemy fled in confusion, and was subjected to a rain of bullets and bullets, so they had to attack the position of the fifth company in turn, as long as they took the position of the fifth company, maybe they would have a chance to live.

In order to better exert their firepower, the fighters stood up and fired at the enemy.

The machine gunner even hung the gun around his neck and swept it.

The enemy ran back and forth, flanking the position on both sides, and attacked five times in a see-saw manner, until dusk, when the enemy died down and hid in a mountain col.

There was a squad of more than 40 Li puppet troops, who wanted to take advantage of the twilight to sneak through the defense line of the fifth company, but they were discovered by a combat group of the second squad of the fifth company, and were intercepted by this combat group of three people.

In this battle, the 5th Company of the 336th Regiment fought very beautifully, especially the instructor Hou Zhengpei, who led 17 soldiers to win a big victory at the smallest cost, killing and wounding more than 220 enemies.

Because the enemy was on the offensive and had no fortifications to rely on, it was convenient for the volunteers to attack, and the enemy's artillery positions were destroyed by the volunteers, making it impossible for the enemy to use artillery fire to cover and block the enemy.

This also allowed the attacking volunteer soldiers to successfully break through the enemy's defense line and stick together with the enemy.

The enemy's planes were hovering in the sky, and they could only do it in a hurry, and at this moment Tokugawa had become a mess, and the situation in the entire Tokugawa was in chaos.

Having lost the cover of artillery fire and aircraft, the enemy had long since lost his morale and the will to resist, and was so frightened that he was scattered and the whole line was in disarray.

At this moment, the Tokugawa River is like a dam that has burst its levees, and the 'flood' formed by the stragglers spreads in all directions.

The enemy's stragglers fled all over the mountains, and the commanders of some divisions were also confused with the enemy's stragglers.

The 112th Division is located in a small village with several families, with a large mountain behind it.

Yang Dayi went to the 1st Battalion of the 334th Regiment to organize the attack.

Deputy Master Li Zhongxin sat cross-legged on the kang and was lying on the small kang table to write a battle report.

Suddenly, the phone rang, he picked up the phone and listened, it turned out to be a call from the line checker, and the voice was very low:

"Deputy division commander, don't talk to me, just listen, there is an enemy heading towards the house where you live."

Li Zhongxin was stunned, and then the lame political commissar Li Jitai came in from outside and confirmed the lineman's words.

When Lee Ji-tae was returning from outside, he was wounded in the leg by a stray bullet from the enemy.

"Hygienist, quick, bandage Lao Li." Li Zhongxin immediately went to call the hygienist.

"Don't worry, Lao Li, you hurry up and take people to fight back now, the enemy has already entered the village." Li Jitai sat on the kang with his butt and said with pain.

Li Zhongxin had already sensed the crisis of the situation, and he couldn't care so much, and when he ran outside the house to take a look, he heard a group of enemies chattering, just on the path outside the command post, walking this way.

There were no soldiers in the command post, only a guard squad, and a US prisoner was guarded, and in the face of the crisis, Li Zhongxin kept calm and decisively ordered the guard squad to quickly seize the hill behind the house.

After waiting for the guard squad to occupy the hill, he asked the trumpeter to blow the bugle call unique to the volunteers.

With the sound of the trumpet in the village, he ran out into the courtyard and fired a few shuttles at the dark night, and the guard squad on the hill behind the house also opened fire.

The originally quiet village was immediately in chaos, and the enemy, who wanted to come to the village to rest and hide, fled in a hurry, and did not even have the courage to resist.

The 112th Division pointed out that it was not uncommon to encounter the enemy, and the enemy in Tokugawa was in a mess, unorganized, unorganized, and frantically fleeing around.

As the enemy in Tokugawa began to disperse, the three companies stationed in the village were also attacked by the enemy's stragglers.

The night was hazy, a group of enemies with the help of the cover of the night, rushed to the village where the third company was stationed, the first to discover this group of enemies was the fourth platoon stationed at the head of the village, Xiao Heping was in charge of guarding, suddenly heard a noisy voice in the distance, and suddenly felt bad.

Turning around, I saw a shadow pasted onto me: "Don't speak!" ”

"Platoon commander!"

"Shh

Xia Yuan's sleep is relatively light, and he has the ability to listen to voices and distinguish positions.

Listening to the sound position can not only be used to distinguish directions, as the skill level increases, his hearing also improves considerably.

Hearing the enemy's movements, he woke up the whole platoon and asked Zhao Xiaoyi to inform the company commander.

The enemy came with such a strong momentum that he didn't notice that the dark village in front of him was hiding a great danger.

Soon, the scattered enemy came in with a cacophony of sounds, and the third company was ready, and the moment the enemy entered the village, they opened fire in unison, and a large area of the enemy fell in the darkness.

"Up, take the prisoners! Don't let the enemy escape! ”

Xia Yuan collected his gun and led four rows of soldiers into the enemy group.

At this moment, they were already fighting with the enemy, Xiao Heping saw the fleeing enemy, the car that was thrown down, immediately ran over, and drilled into the back of the car, and sure enough, he saw a lot of boxes piled up.

The two enemies of the Li puppet army were getting out of the car, because it was too dark, the whole team of the enemy and us was already in a mess, and it was impossible to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the two enemies did not look at it, jumped out of the car and began to run.

"Run, want to run!" Seeing this, Xiao Heping rushed forward with an arrow step, and pounced to crush an enemy under him, "Don't move!" ”

This enemy's gun had already been lost when he ran away, and at this moment, he was attacked by Xiao Heping, shouted in fright, and hurriedly raised his hand, indicating that he had no weapon.

"Ha, if you don't even have a weapon, you dare to sneak attack our company's position, don't die!"

Xiao Heping was overjoyed and grabbed the captives from the ground.

Xia Yuan entered the enemy group, turned on his night vision, and found that some of the stragglers were armed, some were unarmed, and they were all fleeing, going to the mountains, to the village, to the field, and the whole scene was chaotic.

He also saw several tall American soldiers with epaulettes on their shoulders, and when he saw that his rank was not low, he pushed away a Li puppet army in front of him, and strode forward.

These American soldiers were in a panic, when suddenly a thin black shadow rushed over and knocked down a companion in twos and threes, and they were shocked.

“fuck！ him! ”

They carry weapons, but the mess around them, with their men and enemies, has become a pot of porridge.

They could only go up with their bare hands to fight the enemy, obviously, they underestimated the enemy, the thin figure rushed forward, aimed at the stomach is a punch, and the American troops curled up in pain, and it took a long time to slow down this momentum.

The first, second, and third platoons then joined the battle.

Translator Zhao accompanied several guards and shouted with a loudspeaker: "Surrender the gun and don't kill, the volunteers will treat the prisoners preferentially!" Surrender the gun and don't kill, the volunteers are waiting to be captured! ”

In the end, his voice was hoarse, but the effect was remarkable, and in this battle, they captured more than 500 enemies in three companies.

The several U.S. troops that Xia Yuan defeated were the U.S. military advisory group of the Puppet Seventh Division, including one colonel's adviser, one lieutenant colonel, six majors, and other entourage.

At 3 p.m., the Tokugawa defenders, supported by 12 aircraft, broke through again in three directions, all of which were successful.

The battle lasted until 7 p.m., when most of the Tokugawa enemies, except for a few who fled, were annihilated.

The battle lasted for a day and night, advancing 50 to 70 kilometers, killing and wounding 1,041 enemies, capturing 2,087 enemies, capturing 156 artillery pieces, 218 automobiles, 33 radio stations, returning damage to an enemy plane, and capturing 8 people, including the colonel and head of the US military advisory group.
