The two covered front and back.

When the enemy attacked fiercely, Hu Huihua retreated, and the wounded behind covered his retreat.

In this way, the two repelled three attacks by the enemy's forty or fifty men.

In this way, less is more, in every corner of the position.

After 7 hours of fierce fighting with the enemy, the position remained unmoved.

The 5th Company, which was holding west of the road, also engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy, and when the sun was in the west, the enemy concentrated more than 1,000 men and cooperated with five tanks to launch attacks one after another in the form of a group charge at the position of the 5th Company.

As the enemy attacked wave after wave of attacks, the casualties of the officers and men of the Fifth Company who held their positions increased step by step, and the ammunition decreased sharply, but the cadres and soldiers became more and more courageous in the midst of artillery fire.

Whenever they repelled a wave of enemy charges, they encouraged each other and left their names.

"I am dedicated to the peace of the motherland and the victory of the war, remember my name, Zhao Zhensheng, don't forget me."

"The time has come to make meritorious contributions to the people!"

"Lao Tzu killed eight enemies, it's already enough, the brothers below are waiting for us, and Lao Tzu will go first."

"Squad leader, I really hope to see the day when the motherland will win, but I can't wait."

"Our lives are not worth much, but the lives of American devils are worth it, and we will exchange our lives for a dozen of them, which is already enough."

"Squad leader, you say, am I a hero?"

"Yes, you are all heroes of the Motherland! A hero of the people! ”

"I really want to go to the motherland in the future to see, I don't know if they will be able to eat enough, and if there will be war."

When the battle was at its most intense, there was only one soldier left in the seventh squad, and the instructor came to the position of the seventh squad through the enemy's fire net, only to see the soldier Zhang Zhicai throwing grenades at the enemy, and there was no one on the position except him.

"What about Class Seven?"

Zhang Zhicai shrank back by a grenade of the enemy, heard the instructor's voice, and replied resolutely: "Class 7 is me, I am Class 7, instructor, don't worry, with me, the position will not be lost!" ”

The instructor was greatly encouraged, "Good job, with you here, the American devils can't come up!" ”

He grabbed a grenade on the ground and fought with him.

Like the Eighth Company, the Fifth Company suffered huge casualties, and the casualty rate reached a terrible 70 percent, 80, or even 90 percent, and there were less than 20 remaining soldiers.

The 4th and 9th Companies also struck at the enemy who had come from the south and tried to support them.

After repeated fierce battles, the ammunition was running out, and the enemy thought that the Chinese soldiers were already at the end of their crossbows, and it would not be long before they could crush their defensive lines, and they were caught off guard by a counter-charge of the 338th Regiment, and the soldiers rushed to the road and drove the enemy's infantry behind.

Their tanks, deprived of the protection of the infantry, were quickly blown up by the fighters with cluster grenades, and two tank crews were captured.

And snatched a lot of ammunition, some food, some use, some none, a lot of it.

Some soldiers smiled and said to the squad leader: "It's still the American devils who are rich, and it's better to fight a company of the puppet army than to fight a platoon of the US army." ”

This is indeed true, in addition to the soldiers sitting on these trucks, there are also a lot of cans, guns and ammunition, which have replenished some of the ammunition consumed in the previous seven hours of fighting.

Logistics comrades also actively organized manpower to collect the enemy's ammunition during the battle, and organized more than 30 people to send part of the ammunition to the firing line to support the battle.

The battle in Sansholi was particularly fierce, and Liu Haixiang, the deputy division, also wanted to take out the 337th Regiment to support the 338th Regiment in the battle in Sanshori, but Jiang Chao did not agree.

In addition to Sanshori, there is another location that is equally important.

Longyuanli.

Like Sansholi, Longyuanli is also an important transportation hub, Jiang Chao considered that if the enemy could not pass through Sanshaoli, he might choose to detour from Longyuanli, and then the 337th Regiment would come in handy and divide his troops into Longyuanli.

The comrades of the 338th Regiment used their iron will to form an impregnable line of defense to resist the bullshit Founding Fathers Division of the US Army, which caused this so-called bullshit Founding Fathers Division to suffer a setback and had to retreat.

The headquarters of the 113th Division was not idle, and during the fierce battles in Sansholi, they constantly sent scouts to reconnoiter the enemy's situation, and found that the US troops had fled north.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, it was terrible and dark.

The direction of Sanshori was quiet, and the 336th Regiment successfully completed the task assigned by Shiji to go deep behind enemy lines and intercept the enemy, and everyone was extremely tired.

Since the attack on Tokugawa on the 25th, I have not taken a comfortable nap, and now I am staggering and falling asleep.

The division headquarters was particularly busy, and everyone was anxious that a large number of enemies had not come.

Judging from the telegram sent to them by Shiji, they may have blocked three American divisions on this road, but judging from the battle on the first day, the enemy's combat strength was about a regimental combat unit, and the ferocity of the firepower also came entirely from the enemy's artillery and air force, as well as five or six tanks responsible for taking the lead.

Those tanks have turned into a pile of scrap metal, lying on the road.

A large number of enemies did not pass through Sansho, which was not considered to have completed the task of intercepting the enemy.

If, out of carelessness, the enemy flees from a path they do not know, they have really made a big mistake.

The capture of Sanshori was only one of the missions, and the real priority was to stop the enemy fleeing south.

At this time, a telegram was sent by the confidential officer, and the military department ordered them to divide their troops into Longquanli.

Jiang Chao felt a little puzzled, Longquanli is in the north of Sansholi, that belongs to the north, the area controlled by our army, it does not belong to the south, how can the enemy flee to the north.

He pondered that when he set off, he heard the chief mention Longquanli, and carefully studied the map, it was very likely that it was a slip of the tongue in Longyuanli.

He was busy gathering everyone over to study countermeasures.

Jiang Chao spread out the battle map, pointed to Longyuanli in the west of Sansholi, and said: "Judging from the map, there are no kilometers here, only a small road through the countryside, but the military department pays attention to it here, and the word spring is obviously a slip of the tongue of the source character. You see, there is also a railway here, and we have to make a choice to divide our troops into Longyuanli! ”

The 113th Division had only two regiments, the 337th Regiment and the 338th Regiment, two battalions of the 339th Regiment remained in Tokugawa to clean up the battlefield, and one battalion went deep behind enemy lines to carry out the task of blowing up bridges.

The 338th Regiment has been fighting fiercely for a day, and in order to march in a hurry, the ammunition base carried by the soldiers is not enough, if they divide their troops in Longyuanli, leaving the 338th Regiment in Sansholi, and the enemy suddenly attacks Sansholi on a large scale, the 338th Regiment will not be able to hold Sansholi without reserving mobile troops.

Everyone generally believed that the troops should be divided into Longyuanli, but they were all worried that the enemy would take the enemy by surprise and go to Sansholi again, but because there were no mobile troops in their hands, the Sansholi would be lost, and the enemy would flee, and it would be a big trouble.

After a period of discussion, everyone thought that the higher authorities should consider supporting the three institutes, and would definitely not watch the 338th regiment support the three institutes.

Even if all three American divisions of the enemy were to go three miles, the two regiments would not be able to block it for long.

It is estimated that Shiji has already considered supporting Sanshori, so everyone thinks that they can divide their troops into Longyuanli.

"Even if there is the slightest possibility, you have to go."

The division headquarters immediately began to adjust the deployment.

The 3rd Battalion of the 338th Regiment continued to stay in the Sanshori area to intercept the enemy fleeing south, and at the same time, the 1st and 2nd Battalions pursued the enemy to the north.

The 337th Regiment marched quickly and rapidly towards Longyuanli, cutting off the enemy's retreat.

The 3rd Battalion of the 339th Regiment continued to carry out the task of destroying roads and bridges in Anzhou and Suchuan.

In order to intercept the enemy and cut off the enemy's retreat, the 339th Regiment and the 3rd Battalion carried out the task of blowing up the bridge and destroying the highway.

After they complete the task of blowing up the bridge, they will disperse in all directions, send companies and platoons to destroy the road, blow up the mountain bridge, and no road that the enemy may pass through can not be spared.

At 18 o'clock on the 28th.

The 335th Regiment of the 112th Division was still confronting the enemy, and it had a rare opportunity to rest, but it seemed that everyone could feel that a vicious battle was about to begin.

After the 114th Division captured the Gari Ridge, it continued to advance north along the road, and after the main force of the army approached Junyuli, it received the task of the chief, asking the 114th Division to cooperate with the 112th Division to encircle and annihilate the enemy at Junyuli and Pricechuan.

After receiving the order, Yang Dayi of the 112th Division asked the 335th Regiment to keep an eye on the enemy in front of him, and then went to the command post of the 114th Division, where the leaders of the same army and the cadres of the 114th Division studied the deployment of the attack on Yuanchuan and Junyuli.

It was decided that the 112nd Division would attack and advance from the east to Fengmingli, and pay attention to keeping in touch with the divisions of friends and neighbors to avoid misunderstandings.

The 114th Division fought from east to west, and the two divisions advanced from east to west to encircle and annihilate the current enemy.

At 22 o'clock, the 114th Division arrived at Yang Station near Pricechuan.

Yang Station was a barrier north of the Valechuan River, garrisoned by a battalion of the Turkish Brigade and engineers, in an attempt to block the advance of the 38th Army and cover the retreat of American troops on the Western Front.

After discussion, it was decided that the 342nd Regiment of the 114th Division would attack Yangzhan as the main force, and the 340th Regiment would cooperate to inflict heavy damage on a battalion of the Turkish Brigade and capture Yangzhan Station.

At 18 o'clock on the 28th, that is, the 114th Division and the 112th Division advanced to encircle the corner of the army.

The sky was already dark, and the 337th Regiment received the task of the division headquarters and began to go west straight into Longyuanli.

The soldiers of the army were tired and anxious, and the soldiers were sleeping in a daze while walking, and often bumped into the soldiers in front of them, and some of the soldiers fell into the ditch on the side while walking, and the pain in the body could not suppress the sleepiness of the body, and they fell asleep upside down.

The instructor was to constantly wake up the sleeping warriors from the ditch.

Yongwon-ri is located in the hilly area south of Valcheon, and to the west of Samsho-ri, it not only connects Valcheon and Gunyu-ri in the north, but also Sunchon and Pyongyang in the south.

And to the north of it, there is a highway that can be connected to Sansholi, which is only a few dozen miles away.

Therefore, not only will the enemy who has run into a wall in Sansho-ri turn to Longwon-ri, but the American troops who have withdrawn from Cheongchon Jiangnan may flee from here.

Just as the commanders and cadres of the 113th Division had predicted, after the 338th Regiment was stuck in Sansholi, the US troops were diverting and surging towards Longyuanli.

4 o'clock on the 29th.

After a night of rapid marching, the 3rd Company of the 337th Regiment finally arrived in the Longyuanli area, and heard the roaring sound of the motor.

The commander of the third company was called Zhang Youxi, he suddenly felt bad, and quickly climbed up the hill with people, only to see a long line of lights flashing on Longyuan Liye Road, and a team of cars was driving along the road.

Zhang Youxi looked up into the distance and found that the convoy was very short, and there was no light at all in the distance except for the stars flashing in the chaotic night sky.

He said angrily: "Alas, we are a step late, and the special mother only caught one tail." ”

In an instant, the convoy came to him, and Zhang Youxi decided to seize the convoy and find out the situation.

He immediately ordered a platoon to attack, and the rest were concealed as reserves.

The second platoon of sortie rushed to the highway, and the soldiers first smashed the enemy's truck with grenades, and when the enemy's truck emitted thick smoke and lay motionless on the ground, they quickly attacked, and the enemy's panicked cars fled, and some of the trucks ran directly out of the road and got stuck in the ditch.

The battle ended quickly, and none of the enemies ran away, either being killed by them or being taken prisoner.

"Quick, interrogate the captives!"

Zhang Youxi called for a translator, and soon learned from these enemies that they were the vanguard of the Fifth Regiment of the First Cavalry Division and the First Division of the Puppet Army.

After getting the news he wanted, Zhang Youxi was excited and immediately called a correspondent to tell the battalion commander about the situation here.

Knowing the situation, the soldiers were quite happy, they were not late, and arrived at Longyuanli one step ahead of the enemy, blocking the way of the three divisions of the American army to flee south.

The enemy is blocked, and everyone knows in their hearts that what will happen next will be a vicious battle, and the enemy will definitely be even more crazy if he is blocked.

Jiang Chao and others also realized this, and he said: "Send a telegram to the military headquarters to show the determination of my 113th Division!" For the victory of the entire campaign, we are ready to pay the greatest price, with determination and confidence to block the enemy! ”

The hearts of all the divisional headquarters sank, but they thought that for the victory of the entire battle, such a sacrifice was worth it.

Jiang Chao planned to block the three divisions of American troops at the cost of fighting two regiments.

Before dawn on the 29th, Zhang Youxi, the commander of the third company, led the third company to eliminate the enemy's vanguard force, and then occupied the north and south areas of the Gexian Mountains and stepped up the construction of fortifications.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, after covering the engineer battalion at Midong Station to blow up the bridge, the advance detachment continued to advance towards Longyuanli, and arrived at Gexian on the northeast side of Longyuanli after dozens of minutes.

The units of the 337th Regiment of the 113th Division also arrived in Longyuanli one after another.

A fierce battle is about to break out.

Base camp in Tokyo, Japan.

The ominous telegram fell like snowflakes in front of MacArthur in Tokyo, and he was at a loss for what to do.

At this moment, he finally tasted the power of the Chinese, and realized that if he did not take action, the famous founding fathers might be destroyed on the Korean battlefield.

In order to save the endgame, MacArthur urgently ordered Walker on the Western Front and Almond on the Eastern Front to rush to the Tokyo base camp to urgently negotiate a retreat.

When Walker and Almond saw MacArthur again, they were no longer as triumphant as they had been when they had deployed the 'General Offensive on Christmas Home' four days earlier, like a few stray wild dogs, embarrassed. (End of chapter)
