In the first battle of the squadron in Korea, Mr. Peng's order was to take Wenjing, and the 118th Division of the Volunteer Army overcame unimaginable difficulties and attacked the South Korean Sixth Division stationed in Wenjing.
Blood and fire, death and survival were in an instant, the Chinese division and the South Korean division fought fiercely in a small area, and in the end, the South Korean Sixth Division was shocked by the fierce attack of the squadron, and all the troops ran.
Seven or eight thousand South Korean soldiers fled along the roads, river valleys, and woods for their lives, while the Chinese soldiers pursued fiercely.
Compared with the squadron, the battle was definitely won, and the South Korean Sixth Division had no power to fight back, and the next step was to make persistent efforts to expand the results.
How to expand the results? Of course, he was chasing after him, and this was also the old way the squadron dealt with the Kuomintang army back then, and it kept chasing him.
Report to Mr. Peng that the 118th Division of our department has captured Wenjing, the 6th Division of the ROK has been defeated, and the troops are in pursuit.
The 118th Division fought one division after another, severely damaged the South Korean Sixth Division and successfully occupied Onjeong.
There were so many prisoners that the fighters couldn't figure out how many they caught, anyway, they were escorted backwards one by one, and there were weapons and equipment all over the ground, cars everywhere, and even the food and ammunition that were replenished were completely captured in a convoy.
The joint ** is too rich, as said before the war, it is indeed a big piece of fat, the 118th Division also replenished some weapons and equipment before going abroad, the commanders and fighters feel that they are already very rich, but compared with the South Korean Sixth Division, it is still a bun, and the United ** is the real rich man, and the soldiers smiled and said that if they were not worried about the unification of ammunition, they could have become an all-American mechanic.
The South Korean Sixth Division lost all its heavy weapons and two-thirds of its personnel, and fled like a lost dog. It's a textbook-like battle.
However, just when the soldiers of the 118th Division relaxed their vigilance, a crisis quietly struck them, and after learning the news that the ROK's 6th Division had been attacked at Onjeong, the US 6th Base and Sea-based Air Force dispatched more than 100 fighter-bombers and carried a large number of heavy bombs and incendiary bombs to pounce on them.
The shun of the battle made the troops breed pride, and the soldiers thought, what a fucking union**. It is not as good as the domestic Kuomintang army to have combat effectiveness, and if it continues like this, it will not take long to eliminate the United Army, the difference is that the United Army is richer than the Kuomintang army, and it is a real landlord and old wealth.
Just when the fighters were happily cleaning up the battlefield. There was a muffled thunderous sound from the distant sky, followed by a large black spot emerging from the clouds.
The soldiers of the 118th Division looked at the sky in the distance in amazement, and some of the soldiers still said to themselves, it didn't rain in the daytime, God wants thunder, damn.
It wasn't until the dark spots in the sky expanded to more than a foot long that everyone understood that thunder had nothing to do with rain. It's not sparrows from the sky, it's airplanes.
Airplanes, both the Kuomintang army and the Japanese, but each sortie was only a few or a dozen sorties, which did not play a role in the operation of the large corps, the troops did not have the experience and weapons to confront the air force, and the soldiers did not take the planes too seriously, didn't they just lay a few eggs. What's the big deal.
But this air raid is completely different from the previous time in China, because there are too many planes in the United **, so many that people subvert the old concepts and experience.
In the blink of an eye, the plane approached, and when it was still some distance away from the battlefield that the 118th Division was cleaning, it began to drop bombs, and the commanders shouted at the soldiers who were still looking at the Western scenery in the sky, lying down, and lying down. Fast air defense, that's the bombs dropped by enemy planes.
But by the time the fighters remembered the air defense, it was too late, and the aerial bombs were dropped one after another, and the blasting sound produced by the sound of the plane diving was deafening.
The pilots of the U.S. military are all old fritters who participated in World War II. With more than 2,000 hours of flying hours, extremely rich combat experience and skillful technology, and the fact that the volunteers did not have weapons that could effectively confront them, the US planes could calmly drop bombs, and the bombs landed very accurately, which caused heavy casualties to the squadron that was cleaning up the battlefield.
Thick smoke and fire covered the entire battlefield, and the troops who were still rejoicing were severely damaged in the blink of an eye, and when the planes in the sky flew away, they were greeted by craters and charred corpses.
The commanders and fighters of the 118th Division were dumbfounded, the roar of the bombs and the scorching air confused people's heads, and it took a while for the planes to drop the bombs and fly away.
After counting the number of people, in this short period of ten minutes, the 118th Division, known as the ace of the Iron Army, suffered more than 2,000 casualties, not only suffered heavy casualties, but also most of the captured weapons and equipment were blown up by aircraft.
The soldiers gritted their teeth in anger, eager to fly up and fight bayonets with the enemy in the sky, but this qiē can only be a pipe dream, no matter how powerful the infantry is, they have no wings, and they will only be abused when they encounter the whistling air force.
Since going abroad to fight, the defeat of a division in South Korea has not had any major casualties, but I didn't expect to be put on a heavy side by the enemy in the sky, and the entire 118th Division lost one-sixth of its troops, and it was nothing more than fighting a big battle.
But it's useless to crush your teeth, people are in the sky, what can you do to me, the 118th Division had no choice but to give up the pursuit, return to Wenjing to set up defenses, and report the situation they encountered directly to the headquarters.
The 42nd Army of the Volunteers, which had left the country at about the same time as the 40th Army, was also marching in a hurry at this time, and they received orders that while the 40th Army was starting on the Western Front, they should ensure the stability of the battlefield on the Eastern Front and ensure the safety of the flanks of the 40th Army.
However, the 42nd Army also encountered difficulties that it had not expected beforehand, and just when the troops had completed their assembly, they suddenly received news that the Soviet Air Force could not participate in the war.
Without the cover of the Air Force, how can the 6 Army, with a single army, confront the joint ** armed to the teeth? The 42nd Army had no choice but to wait for news from its superiors near the Jiangjie, but after two days of anticipation, the final news was still depressed, and the big brother was determined not to participate.
Precious time was wasted in this way, and it was delayed for two days in vain, which made the 42nd Army, which was very short of time, anxious.
In order to fulfill the combat order issued by the headquarters, the 42nd Army decided to use an advance force to forcibly march to the designated position and control the situation on the battlefield first.
Through the Guò Gaima Plateau, their target is a pass called Huangcaoling, only by seizing this pass, and then defending according to the danger, can they prevent the United ** from entering the large plateau of Yima Pingchuan, which is another battle plan issued by the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
The advance unit was a regiment, and the commander leading the team was Xiao Jianfei, deputy commander of the 124th Division of the 42nd Army, a young man who was brave and resolute and had repeatedly made meritorious contributions.
The advance regiment of the 42nd Army, which had made great strides, threw away its luggage and other supplies unrelated to the battle, and marched day and night, and finally reached the Changjin area of the Eastern Front on this day.
At present, the Changjin area is still in the hands of the People's Army, but the atmosphere is very tense, because according to various sources, the United ** is following behind the defeated People's Army and can attack at any time.
The anxious and tense atmosphere, the tired figures, the fleeing crowd, the defeated KPA units at all levels, the chaotic order, and the panicked commanders all showed that the KPA garrison in the Changjin area had lost its combat effectiveness.
At this moment, a regiment of the advance unit of the Volunteer Army arrived, and the arrival of a regiment of volunteers was like a shot in the arm for the panicked People's Army, and there was hope in the frightened eyes, and Deputy Division Commander Xiao Jianfei also saw Jin Yongzhao, the commander of the garrison in the Changjin area of the People's Army.
After the meeting, the two commanders were all stunned, because the two were too familiar, Jin Yongzhao, the garrison commander of the Changjin area, was a company commander of the 124th Division of the former 42nd Army, and an old subordinate of Deputy Division Commander Xiao Jianfei.
Jin Yongzhao, the commander of the People's Liberation Army company who had just returned to China in 49 and the current commander of the People's Army's garrison in Changjin District, burst into tears, and hugged his old man tightly and did not let go.
At the request of the commander of the DPRK, General Kim XX, Siye almost all the Korean cadres and fighters in the army were transferred out and formed three divisions to return to China, but in less than a year, the cadres and soldiers of the three divisions were killed and wounded, and many of Kim Yongzhao's old comrades-in-arms fell in the battle.
The memories were painful, and Commander Kim Yong-cho, whose eyes were full of tears, made a brief report to his elders about his experience in the past year, and then introduced Xiao Jianfei to the vice marshal of the Korean People's Army and a group of big-nosed Soviet military advisers.
The arrival of friendly troops was exciting, and the deputy marshal of the People's Army and the Soviet adviser saw a glimmer of hope, and a Soviet adviser wearing a colonel's epaulette shouted and asked Deputy Division Commander Xiao how many people had arrived in the Changjin area of the squadron, and how many tanks, artillery, airplanes and other technical weapons there were.
The mention of airplanes makes people angry, if it weren't for the big brother's rebellion, the 42nd Army would not have been delayed for two days in vain in Jiangjie, Deputy Division Commander Xiao Jianfei replied coldly: "When the infantry arrives at a regiment, there are no planes, no tanks, and no artillery." ”
The answer of the deputy division commander of the PLA was very disappointing to the deputy marshal of the People's Army and the Soviet adviser, who asked:
"There are no tanks, artillery, no aircraft support, the difference between the firepower of weapons and the American army is too big, what is the use of only one regiment of infantry? How can you stop the enemy's attack. ”
