Chapter 33 ‖ War

The two entered Zheng's house, Zheng Zhendong introduced the two parties, and after a period of politeness, they sat down at the dinner table.

There were eight dishes on the dining table, four cold and four hot, and Zheng Zhendong took out two bottles of wine and poured them respectively for Qin Chunhe and Yan Bugui.

……

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the two of them drank a little too much, and Zheng Zhendong sent Yan Bugui back first.

When Qin Chunhe woke up a little, he was about to go back to Qinjiatun, Zheng Zhendong asked.

"Uncle Qin, do you have any work at home for the Chinese New Year?"

Qin Chunhe waved his hand at Zheng Zhendong and said.

"The ground hasn't thawed yet, and there's no work to do for the time being, what's wrong Dongzi?"

Zheng Zhendong hurriedly said: "Since the family is not busy, let Sister Huairu live here for a few days, my mother hasn't seen it yet!" ”

Looking at his daughter with a longing face, Qin Chunhe agreed after thinking about it, and then took the cigarettes and alcohol given by Zheng Zhendong and drove the carriage back.

……

At this time, on the evening of February 13, 51, on the battlefield of the peninsula, a regiment-level unit of our army's No. 40 Army quickly attacked Toping-ri west of Hengcheng.

Zheng Zhenchuan, who arrived at the battlefield, was extremely excited, looking at the devastated position, knowing that although this battle was not big, it was very fierce.

Arrived at the front line of the battle, at this time the United Nations army, reinforcements were basically in place, and our army could not attack for a long time.

Zheng Zhenchuan's regiment, which had just arrived at the battlefield, was assigned reinforcements by the commander-in-chief of the front line.

After receiving the task, regiment commander Lin Hongda immediately arranged for the first battalion to reinforce the friendly troops on the right, the second battalion to reinforce the friendly troops on the left, and the third battalion to serve as a reserve.

The three battalions received the order and immediately went into action, taking advantage of the darkness to quickly contact the friendly forces.

Zheng Zhenchuan couldn't help but clench the water bead rifle in his hand.

At this time, a flare detonated in the sky, Zheng Zhenchuan hurriedly lay down, raised the gun in his hand, and aimed it at the enemy on the opposite side.

The enemy generals couldn't help but grow their heads when they saw that there were reinforcements coming up again.

At this time, Zheng Zhenchuan pulled the gun in his hand, and a hot bullet sprayed out of the chamber, only to see an enemy on the opposite side fall in response.

Zheng Zhenchuan, who had completed the first kill, quickly pulled the bolt, and a bullet was fired again, and another enemy on the opposite side fell.

……

There were only more than 10,000 people in 6 regiments of our army's attack force, and only 3 artillery companies supported the operation, with only 20~30 shells per gun, completely encircling the enemy in Toping-ri.

The next morning, the 39th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the Army also joined the battle.

Due to the strong fortifications and firepower of the enemy troops in Tohei-ri, an average of more than 250 shells were fired per gun.

However, our army's attack strength and firepower were weak, and although we compressed the enemy's defensive range at Toping-ri, annihilated one of them, and wounded the commander of the 23rd Regiment of Cho, it failed to impress the enemy at all.

On 14 February, the Cho Army dispatched planes to carry out a fierce bombardment and strafing of our army's positions on the outskirts of Toheeong-ri.

At the same time, the 5th and 8th Regiments of the 1st Choo Cavalry Division were transferred to the east to Ipo, the 6th Division of South Goryeo was between Yeoju and Icheon, and the British 27th Brigade was located between Yeoju and Munmu-ri.

At 10 o'clock on the 14th, the 5th Regiment of the Chol Cavalry crossed the Namhan River from Ipo-ri with 8 cars and more than 100 infantry in an attempt to reinforce Topyeong-ri, but was blocked by the * Division of our army south of Yong-ri.

At dusk, more than 600 enemy troops from Yeoju and Ipo-ri came to the aid and advanced to the south of Zhuyan-ri, Neilong-ri, and Wailong-ri in three routes, and were blocked by the troops of the 346th Regiment of the 116th Division of our army.

The enemy forces in Wonju were still building up their positions and did not appear to be retreating, when enemy reinforcements arrived.

In view of the fact that the enemy's reinforcements had arrived and the opportunity to annihilate the enemy had been lost, the commander-in-chief of our army, the former enemy Deng, decided to stop the attack on Topingli.

Before dawn on the 16th, the troops withdrew from the battle.

In this battle, because there was no detailed reconnaissance before the battle, the enemy situation was misjudged, and the field methods were used to hastily attack the enemy who was holding the stronghold, so that the battle objective was not achieved.

In this way, Zheng Zhenchuan's first battle ended.

Not long after the battle, the troops returned to Hengcheng to rest and recuperate, and began to enter the movement defense, fighting to destroy the enemy's living forces.

This battle made the company commander discover that Zheng Zhenchuan had the ability to shoot accurately, so he asked Zheng Zhenchuan to conduct a sniper operation alone.

Zheng Zhenchuan gladly accepted the order of the company commander, and every day he went to the trenches, looking for opportunities back and forth at various sniper points, and launched cold gun operations against the enemy.

It was February 20, and Zheng Zhenchuan crawled in front of a dirt slope.

As soon as he raised his head, a sense of danger permeated his heart, and he subconsciously rolled his body to the right.

As soon as he finished the action, a bullet grazed Zheng Zhenchuan's scalp, Zheng Zhenchuan hurriedly moved to the back of the slope, and then another bullet hit again, hitting the position just now.

Zheng Zhenchuan thought that he was being targeted by the snipers of the ugly army, and he couldn't go out of the slope for the time being, so as not to be seized by the snipers on the opposite side.

Zheng Zhenchuan was very anxious at this time, took out the telescope cautiously, and observed the opposite side.

I saw that at 3 o'clock on the opposite side, there was an ugly soldier lying behind the rocks, the gun sticking out from the gap between the two rocks, and the sniper was hiding behind.

Zheng Zhenchuan took off his hat and held it up with a wooden stick, deliberately tempting him to shoot.

Sure enough, the enemy sniper shot on the hat, Zheng Zhenchuan heard the gunshot, and decisively pulled the trigger, and the hot bullet sprayed out of the chamber, and the sniper on the opposite side fell in response.

Watching the sniper on the opposite side fall, Zheng Zhenchuan lay behind the slope, panting loudly to relieve the excitement in his heart just now.

After calming down a little, Zheng Zhenchuan cautiously crawled back to his position.

At this time, the company commander looked at Zheng Zhenchuan, who had just gone out and came back again, and asked.

"Chuanzi, why did you come back so soon?"

"Report to the company commander, there is a sniper on the opposite side of the enemy army, I have already killed him, I will come back to report, let the soldiers be careful of cold guns." Zheng Zhenchuan replied quickly to the company commander.

The company commander attached great importance to the situation reported by Zheng Zhenchuan, and on the one hand asked the soldiers in the company to be careful of cold guns, and on the other hand made a report to his superiors.

……

In this way, a few days later, Zheng Zhenchuan was recorded by his superiors with a third-class merit once in recognition of the news he brought back.

Zheng Zhenchuan received the medal and was very excited, this is the best reward for a man.

Zheng Zhenchuan put the medal on his chest, proudly showed off in the class, and then carefully put it away, ready to show it to his family when he went home.

At this time, Zheng Zhenguo had already returned to the team, and the troops were redressed and marched to the peninsula.

After more than a day of running, the train came to a small town on the border line.

After the train stopped, the fighters jumped out of the carriages one after another, and the various units quickly assembled and left the station in array.

Zheng Zhenguo also took his own platoon and followed the company to the predetermined point.

After about half an hour's march, the team arrived at a warehouse.

The logistics staff distributed a grain bag containing fried noodles according to the head, and the soldiers took it one after another and carried it cross-body.

This was given to the soldiers, when they were on the march or when they were not able to eat.
