"I think it should be a 3-inch to 3.46-inch light howitzer, judging from the destructive power of the shell. A sandbag wood and rock structure next to me was directly hit by a shell, but it did not collapse. The shelling lasted for 10 minutes. When the shelling ceased, the company commander ordered the flares to be fired, and we saw a large crowd outside the depot."

The officer of the investigation office looked down at the map and checked the location. "What was the defensive state of the Western Wall at that time? What kind of enemy attack was it?"

"The condition is very bad, we are just barely maintaining. At first, we had 5 or 6 30 caliber 1919A4 heavy machine guns, 2 50 caliber M2, but the most important firepower pillars were two Pershing heavy tanks. But, Shortly after the battle, one of the heavy tanks exploded and caught fire. About 10 minutes later, another heavy tank was also destroyed. The enemy attack on the western wall was an infantry infiltration, and the strength of the troops should be a battalion or two. "

"Is it an infantry with infantry and tank coordination?"

"Oh no, pure infantry. I kept firing on the west wall until the defenses on the east wall collapsed. When I abandoned the machine gun positions, the enemy troops on the west wall had rushed across the open field. At this time, I still didn't see any enemy troops. Tanks or self-propelled guns."

"When the two tanks were destroyed, did you observe what kind of weapon destroyed them?"

"I didn't see the first one, but I did see the second one, and it was the bazooka that destroyed the Pershing."

"The bazooka destroyed Pershing?" The investigator looked up from the file closet and looked directly at Davis.

"Could be a copy, a Chinese or a Soviet copy, or maybe another bazooka. Anyway, a rocket. I saw the flames and smoke as they fired from 400 meters away, followed by five glowing gizmos Our tanks went, and I think it must have been rockets. One or two of them hit the Pershing. After the tanks were all destroyed, they also used these rockets to destroy our defensive positions, especially the machine gun fire points. I Got hit by two rockets, thank God, didn't hit directly..."

"400 meters away?"

"There is 400 meters instead of 350 meters. Yes, I know that the bazooka can't hit this far. Probably the Soviet imitation has a particularly long range."

"Sergeant Matt Thomas, please describe your capture."

"Together with the rest of G Company, I quickly crossed Yunshan City to the north for reinforcements, and suddenly encountered a group of Chinese. After I fired bullets at the enemy who rushed up, the enemy also fired bullets at us. G Company suffered heavy casualties The platoon leader felt that the enemy's firepower was stronger than ours, so he ordered to use the building to hide. The Chinese hiding behind the building threw a grenade at me. I immediately fell back and dodged before the grenade exploded. At this time, the Chinese came up The bayonet went into my upper right shoulder."

"How many enemy troops did Company G encounter in Yunshan City?"

"It feels similar to G Company, with more than 100 people."

"you sure?"

"Very sure. At that time, there were many fires in Yunshan City, and we could actually see each other."

"What firearms did they use?"

"Their riflemen use semi-automatic rifles like us. There are also some 'Sten' and automatic rifles (light machine guns. Because it is close combat, their automatic rifles are also like BARs. The shooter holds them and fires them as they move forward. What's really scary is that their automatic rifles don't use a magazine, but a belt box, and the bullets seem to never run out..."

……

"Private First Class Paul Watson, where was your capture?"

"In the early morning of November 11, our battalion withdrew from the No. 1 Garrison Station. I was hungry and sleepy. At this time, a group of Chinese people suddenly appeared in front of me and pointed guns at me and Malcolm Miller. So I Put down your weapons."

"Is Malcolm Miller also captured?"

"No, no, he was killed when he drew his pistol."

Qingchuan River.

From November 11th, the Volunteers disengaged from the "United Nations Army" on the two lines north of the Qingchuan River and north of Tokugawa, and deliberately discarded some equipment and items on the positions and roadsides during the retreat process, creating a "worry retreat". escape" illusion.At the same time, they deliberately disclosed the news to the prisoners of war who were about to be handed over, saying that the food supply of the volunteers was difficult and they were going to withdraw to the country.

Taking a multi-pronged approach, Walker was finally confused by the retreat of the Volunteers.He began to believe in MacArthur's judgment: These volunteers retreated timidly, probably due to insufficient numbers and logistical supply difficulties, and they were not particularly powerful opponents.As long as the United Nations Army does not disperse and all troops advance in groups, the 7 to [-] volunteer troops will be driven back to China.

On the Eastern Front, the 124th Division harassed and blocked the 9st Marine Division one after another. After being convinced that the 124th Corps had arrived in the combat area, the [-]th Division also disappeared from the [-]st Marine Division and moved west to Jiucang to gather and rest.

The 31st Marine Division advanced cautiously, but the 32th Meibu Division was much more unrestrained. Three regiment-level combat teams were running around in northeastern North Korea.In front of the 17st Marine Division were the 11st and 21nd Regiments, but these two regiments did not run as far as the 7th Regiment of the Seventh Meibu Division. On November 17, the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Meibu Division entered Huishan Town on the Yalu River. This was the first and only ground force of the US military to reach the border between China and North Korea.

Major General Ba Dawei (David Goodwin Ba), who led the 17th regiment to the Yalu River, was in high spirits.As soon as he arrived in Huishan Town, Almond, the commander of the 10th Army, sent him a congratulatory message: "The operation of the Seventh Division will be recorded in the annals of history as an outstanding military operation."Then Almond said to let the 17th regiment wait, he also wants to come over and take a picture by the Yalu River!

"You don't know the Chinese army, but I do!" Badawi talked to the officers around him and the reporters accompanying the army.

"Two or three years ago, I was in China, and I didn't leave there until early 1949, because we abandoned China..."

"At that time, I was the head of the military advisory group of the US military stationed in China. The Chinese army was a group of beggars suffering from hunger and cold, lacking food, clothing, morale, and even training. A division can only move more than a dozen times a day. Kilometers, or even a march of more than ten kilometers, there will be countless soldiers fleeing because the commander cannot control them. The commanders of the Chinese army are greedy and stupid. When the group army is transferring, there will be more than a dozen trucks in the queue with the commander The property of private companies, lovers, lovers’ families. Their supreme leader Chiang Kai-shek has no military knowledge at all, and he only pours chicken soup on his subordinates at the Supreme National Defense Conference..."

Chapter 85, Shiji Assaulted

Beijing.Zhongnanhai.

The intelligence center originally established in the General Staff has now moved into the sea, and its name has also been changed from the original Intelligence Center for Resisting U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea to the Korean War Situation Center - which specializes in summarizing the Korean battlefield and related military intelligence.Moving the center here from the General Staff is mainly for the convenience of the Chairman, Commander-in-Chief, and Prime Minister.

The first battle reflected the biggest feature of the Korean War: our army basically seldom maneuvered during the day, and the battles were all launched at night.After nightfall, as soon as the front line started, the battle reports would be flooded to Zhisi, and the wired and telegraph line between Zhisi and Beijing could report the battle situation to Beijing in a very short time. If Beijing can simultaneously judge and discuss the battle situation, It means that the highest decision-making level can understand the direction of the war in the first place.

The communication and command equipment of the combat situation center was arranged by Tang Hua himself, and it is almost the most complete in this era.If you add a computer and an LCD screen, it will be more modern...or forget it, the GPS constellation and reconnaissance satellites are still there.

"United Nations troops on both the east and west fronts have begun to enter our established battlefields," Li Kenong said. "From the direction of the enemy's actions and their telegrams, it can be seen that the tactics of luring the enemy to go deep have worked."

"Peng and Ye's combat deployment should also be issued." The commander-in-chief said, "The Americans are too arrogant this time. The third division has been transferred to the Eastern Front to see their hometown, and there is no reserve team left."

Tang Hua watched the combat staff mark the latest location of the enemy and us on the map.

Now, the United Nations Army has a total of 55 people, including 42 ground troops.

There are 23 troops deployed on the front line, including 8 American divisions on the western front, 2 on the eastern front, [-] American divisions and one regiment (the three divisions of the United States that have just been transferred to the rear, one regiment in Xingnan and one regiment in Xingnan) Guarding the port in Wonsan).

In fact, the number of our troops participating in the war did not have an overwhelming advantage. There were a total of 9 armies, 30 infantry divisions, and 3 artillery divisions, with a total of 38 troops.

Where does the crowd tactics come from? We rely on our combat tactics capabilities when we fight.

"50 center telegram." The staff sent a 50 center telegram from the next door.The commander-in-chief took a look and pushed the telegram to Tang Hua.

"Through the analysis of the US military's high-end secret cables for nearly a month, I have sufficient evidence to prove that the wireless communications of the US military and group army are based on M-209, and then superimposed with an uncomplicated manual encryption. Therefore, it is possible to use a computer to crack the secret messages of the U.S. military and group army levels, but it is necessary to re-draw the underlying algorithm and compile a new program. Please send Tang Hua to support me in cracking the secret messages of the U.S. military. Wang Yongjun."

After reading the telegram, Tang Hua also said "Wow!" in surprise.

If the secret telegrams of the U.S. military and group army levels are deciphered, then in the entire United Nations military system, only the telegram communication between MacArthur and Truman remains unknown, and all other wireless communications of the U.S. military will be transparent to the volunteers.

M-209 is superimposed with a manual encryption method, but it is not known which one is superimposed.If the U.S. military does not find it troublesome to use a cheat sheet one at a time, then although the U.S. military itself is in trouble, our troubles are even greater.If you use a more convenient encryption method, you can use TC50 to crack the password.But the problem now, the first is to determine which encryption method he is superimposing, and the second is to study how to write this cracking program.

"I should go to the 50 Center." Tang Hua said.

Yenching University, Department of Music.

The current Yenching University has not been swallowed up by Peking University.As a private church school, Yenching University has never been short of school funding since its establishment. The vocal equipment in the Music Department of Yenching University may be the best in Beijing in 1950.

In the recording hall, Zhou Xuan, a small band, and technicians from a record company who came from Hong Kong were recording a new album, which was scheduled to be released on New Year's Day this year.

The current records have transitioned to high-density discs, and a disc starts with at least 6 songs. Of course, as usual, four of them are old songs and two are new songs: "The Same Song" and "What a Big Tree ".
