"The 2st Battalion of the [-]nd Regiment was suddenly ambushed by a powerful force north of Wenjing!"

"When the second and third battalions of our regiment were rescuing the first battalion, they were stopped by unknown troops and forced to retreat to Wenjing!"

"A large number of unidentified armed men have appeared near Wenjing, and have surrounded our garrison from three sides. Our regiment has reinforced the fortifications and is preparing for the next day's fierce battle."

"The unknown enemy launched an attack at 12 midnight. The enemy has a huge advantage in strength and has used artillery and rocket launchers. Our frontline positions are under fierce attack. Please speed up the 19th regiment and go north to support our regiment. If you cannot clear the siege before dawn, I..."

……

"The 15th regiment of our division and the 2nd tank company were blocked by unidentified troops in Chaoyangdong. They fought fiercely for a day and entered hand-to-hand combat at noon. The frontline soldiers judged that the enemy spoke Chinese.”

"Our division estimates that there are about 2 Chinese soldiers on standby in Unsan and northern Xichuan." The commander of the South Korean 1st Division reported to Frank Milburn, commander of the US 1st Army, after summarizing the day's battle.

"It is very likely that the Chinese army has entered North Korea and is fighting in Unsan and north of Xichuan." Millburn reported the telegram from the 1st Division of South Korea.Although Milburn did not personally observe the battlefield of the 1th Regiment of the 15st Division, the South Korean Army fought for a whole day with one regiment and one tank company, but failed to make any progress. The regiment was disabled, and the tank company was almost wiped out. It's not like what the Korean People's Army is doing now.

Early in the morning of June 10.

On this night, the four armies entering the DPRK continued to maneuver at night and rushed to the designated combat area.

"The current South Korean Army's combat method is different from what we expected." Ye Ting scratched his chin at the headquarters and said, "Now they always form a team of several tanks and twenty or thirty trucks, running around everywhere. There is no time for divisions to get together. Our original plan was to gather three armies and capture one or two divisions to wipe them out, but now it is not very easy."

Mr. Peng also saw this problem. "Then our battle plan should also be changed. They run around in units of regiments, while we fight in units of divisions. One division bites a regiment, and then summons 1 or 2 surrounding divisions to come up and annihilate them. As long as the total annihilation can be achieved The strength of two divisions of the South Korean Army is also acceptable."

"The situation between the enemy and the enemy is now very chaotic." Ye Ting said, "Fortunately, the fighting of the South Korean Army is not very strong."

"The equipment of the South Korean Army is actually better than the five main forces of the national army during the US military period, but their combat quality is only equivalent to the third-rate troops of the national army." After making friends, he is familiar with all levels of the national army.

"On the whole, the current South Korean army is probably equivalent to the second-rate army of the national army."

Beijing.

While Zhisi was receiving information from the 50 Center, Beijing was also receiving the deciphered telegram from the 50 Center.

"The 118th Division fought a good battle," Nie Shuai said. "First ambushed and then surrounded and annihilated at night, cleanly eating up a regiment of the South Korean Army."

Less than half an hour after Zhisi's battle report was sent back to Beijing, the South Korean Army telegram intercepted by the 50 Center was also sent.Comparing the two sides, this record is indeed good.

"Judging from the enemy's telegrams, they may have discovered that Chinese troops have entered North Korea." The chairman said, "Next, we need to change our strategy and be bolder."

"By the way, the 120th Regiment of the 360th Division also performed very well in the blocking battle." Nie Shuai continued to read the telegram, "They have no anti-aircraft artillery, or even artillery support. They destroyed 11 tanks in one day!"

Yunshan, two water caves.

"What did your group do?"

At the headquarters of the 40th Army, the commander Wu Xinquan deliberately lowered his voice, but his dissatisfaction was still revealed in his words.

"In one day, your regiment destroyed 140 40-fire armor-piercing shells, which are almost half of your carrying base! Do you know that even in the general logistics base, the 40-fire armor-piercing shells are very scarcity?"

"At that time... 14 enemy tanks were maneuvering rapidly on the road, and the enemy's motorized troops were behind them. I was afraid that their tanks would directly penetrate our defense line, so I ordered the bazooka group to focus on shooting and intercepting the tanks..."

Dayu Cave.

"Please pay attention to the commanders and fighters of the divisions and regiments. The best shooting distance of 40 fire is 200 meters to 300 meters. Cadres and soldiers must be bold and patient, and wait for the enemy tanks to enter this distance before firing. If the distance is too far, it will be difficult to hit. Guaranteed, the waste of ammunition is relatively large. In addition, 40 fires can use grenades when attacking enemy trucks and jeeps without armor, thus saving the more precious armor-piercing ammunition.”

The wild shooting of rockets by the 120th regiment of the 360th division not only alarmed the commander of the 40th army, but even Mr. Peng.After listening to the explanations at the division and regiment levels, Mr. Peng asked the staff to send a special telegram to ask the frontline troops not to waste ammunition so much.

"Are these the heroes of the 360 ​​regiment? Huh?"

In the cave, Du Ping, director of the Political Department of the Volunteer Army, looked at the photos brought by the Propaganda Office of the 120th Division, dumbfounding.

This was a short counterattack at dusk during the blocking battle in Chaoyangdong. The 360th regiment repelled the South Korean army for more than a kilometer and controlled the battlefield.So, three 40-fire shooters carried their own rocket launchers and climbed onto the destroyed South Korean army tank in the sunset, making extremely exaggerated expressions on it, and one of them made a grimace with his tongue out and his eyes staring.

"This photo is your incriminating evidence." Of course Du Ping also knew about the criticism of the 360 ​​regiment, "We can't send it back to China. It's not because they made a mistake. The photo has nothing to do with the mistake. The composition of the photo is pretty good." .However, the 40 bazooka is now a secret weapon and cannot be made public for the time being.”

Pyongyang.

After receiving Frank Milburn's report, Eighth Army Commander Walton Walker immediately reported to MacArthur.However, MacArthur immediately returned a long telegram.

"Reports about the participation of Chinese troops in the war are all from the retreating South Korean troops. There is no circumstantial evidence to support them. They are not reliable. They are just to cover up their own poor tactics and low morale. The Chinese troops that appeared in Onjeong and Unsan were only drawn from the middle GONG troops The purpose of the volunteers who came out is to further strengthen and reinforce the North Korean army and help it guard the border passages between China and North Korea. There is no sign that the Chinese GONG army has begun to use a large number of reorganized troops to enter North Korea for military intervention. From a tactical point of view, North Korea The territory controlled by the People's Army is only a narrow and long area on the border between China and North Korea. The golden age of China's intervention has long passed. I decided to keep the established plan unchanged, and the troops of the 8th Army, please continue to advance at full speed!"

Walton Walker was also dubious about whether China would participate in the war on a large scale. Seeing that his boss was so determined, he had no choice but to trust MacArthur for the time being.

Xi Chuan.

Although one regiment was basically wiped out, the other South Korean troops were still very aggressive. On the 26th, the 6th Regiment of the 7th Division of the South entered and occupied Guchang. One of the battalions even went as far as Chushan on the Yalu River, where they set up cannons and bombarded our territory on the other side of the river. The South Korean Army believed that there was a retreat on the other side. The Korean People's Army resting in China.

The South Korean 8th Division, which has not yet fought against the Volunteers, is advancing all the way, and two regiments are about to approach Xichuan.Combined with the 6th regiment of the South 19th Division that was originally here, there are three regiments. If Xichuan can be captured at this time, almost one division of the South Korean Army can be wiped out at a time.

Behind the South Korean Army, the 24th Division of the United States and the 27th Brigade of the British Army entered Yongsandong and Bochuan respectively.The 24th Division, which was maimed by the People's Army and even its commander was captured, has now replenished its forces and restored its combat effectiveness. It may be stronger than it was in July 1950. The US infantry division has already thrown away the M7 light tank. Alright, all put on Shermans.

While the South Korean Army and the U.S. Army continue to advance, the 38th Army is now suffering from bad luck.According to Zhisi's plan, the 42nd Army crossed the river first on the eastern front, followed by the 38th Army.But as soon as the 38th Army crossed the river, a car accident occurred during the night march, and the chief of the Operations Section of the Army Staff Department died.This made Liang Daya, the commander of the 38th Army, very angry.The Operations Section of the General Staff is now the most important department of the General Staff of the 38th Army. Without him, the entire army would have encountered a lot of trouble in troop deployment, march organization, and route planning.

In addition, at this time, the roads in northern North Korea were crowded with refugees evacuating to Sinuiju and China, and local party and government organizations in North Korea. The roads in these places were narrow and blocked by vehicles and horses, which seriously slowed down the marching speed of the 38th Army.By the morning of October 10th, the vanguard of the 27th Army was still 38 kilometers away from Xichuan. It seemed that the goal of encircling Xichuan within today would not be accomplished.

Dayu Cave.

"The situation has changed again."

After receiving the telegram from Xiaocao and reading it, Mr. Peng returned to the General Staff and reissued the order.

A few hours ago, the South 6th Division seemed to suddenly realize that Wenjing, which was occupied by our army, was a key point. Therefore, the 6th Regiment of the South 7th Division suddenly went south and returned to Guchang, preparing to march towards Wenjing after gathering troops. The two regiments of the South 1st Division ran from Yongpudong to Onjeong, and the two regiments of the 8th Division also rushed all the way to Onjeong after passing through Xichuan.

"It is necessary to change the plan of encircling and annihilating the enemies of Xichuan. The main force of the 40th Army attracts all kinds of invading enemies to Guitou Cave, Lishi Cave, and Tianshui Cave. The 38th Army and the 39th Division of the 125th Army quickly and resolutely wiped out the enemies of Xichuan. , Immediately plunged from Guanshang Cave to the south of Tianshui Cave; a regiment of the 39th Army blocked the enemy in Yunshan from going north in Lidong, and the rest of the main force quickly assembled in the northwest and south of Yunshan, ready to cooperate with the 38th Army to encircle the enemy."

This is not only the dynamic telegram of the South Korean Army deciphered by 50 centers, but most of it has also been confirmed by the battlefield of the front reconnaissance troops.Since the South Korean army had no foresight of the danger they were facing, they would have to suffer a lot next.

Chapter 71, from 60 bears to 50 males

Jilin, Ji'an.

Two days ago, the army of the 38th Division of the 114th Army crossed the Yalu River from here.Now, another team has come to the riverside, gathering on the west side of the Yalu River, preparing to enter the court.

"Are you going to cross the river tonight? It's only October 10! Your time is too tight! It's really too tight!" Minister of Communications Wang Zheng shook his head and sighed.

"This is Zhisi's order. We must cross the river tonight, and then we will have to march overnight, and we will move to the river boundary before dawn."

Liu Yaodong, the logistics chief of the 50th Army, and Wang Zheng completed the handover of equipment. In the past 36 hours, he has not rested. Not only did he not sleep, but he even missed meals.

"Intercom, walkie-talkie is not equipped for you!" Wang Zheng held the D-1 in his hand, "I brought 10 walkie-talkies from Nanjing on October 10, and they were all equipped for the four armies entering the DPRK, and they were almost used up. , now I only have about 690 sets of walkie-talkies left in my hands. I calculated that an army should be equipped with 1500 walkie-talkies... But I didn’t expect that the second batch of you entered North Korea to join the war in such a hurry. I asked Nanjing to replenish the [-] sets The walkie-talkie is still on the train, and it will arrive in three days. There is not enough communication equipment, and you are not comfortable enough to fight a war."

Liu Yaodong smiled, and patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder, "It's okay, Minister Wang, you have distributed 110 units to us, and each division's reconnaissance battalion is equipped with this, which will be much better than before. As for the parts that are still missing, we are not There is also an American-made walkie-talkie, although it is a bit bulky, it is still usable.”

"Old Liu, let's be wronged for a few days now," Wang Zheng said, "After the 1500 walkie-talkies arrive, we will send 600 of them to the front line immediately. Walkie-talkies are not cannons, and sending them to North Korea is not too troublesome... ..."

The 50th Army was originally the 60th Army of the National Army of the Changchun Uprising.After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the 50th Army did not have the task of suppressing bandits. It was ordered to repair water conservancy and reclamation in Hebei and Henan. In September 5, considering the increasing tension in the Northeast, the central government transferred the 3.3th Army to the Northeast with a single order. On October 1950th, the Soviet Union decided to assist my country's three artillery divisions. The Military Commission originally planned to reorganize the 9th Army into three artillery divisions to receive Soviet weapons. However, after entering the DPRK, it was found that the four armies of the 50th Corps were not enough, so they were just transferred to the Northeast. The 10th Army and 4th Army of the reserve team received an order: immediately enter North Korea to participate in the war.

When it was decided to reorganize into an artillery division, all the rifles, machine guns and mortars of the 50th Army were handed over.This is also good, just send out semi-automatic rifles and light machine guns, so you don't have to collect old rifles and hand them in.
