Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Chapter 32 The second counterattack ended, He Daming was promoted to deputy commander of the 2th Div

Various good news kept coming from the front line.

By December 12, the Hamhung area was recaptured by the Volunteer Army.

Finally, on December 12, the entire Hungnam area returned to the control of North Korea.

At this time, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the North Korean People's Army had successfully moved the front line south to the "38th Parallel" area.

A new defense line was established in the Chuncheon, Gapyeong and Dongchangli areas.

This announced the official end of the Second War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

This time, the Volunteer Army completely dismantled the Thanksgiving Operation Plan proposed by the Commander-in-Chief of the US Joint Forces, Mike Ash. It not only severely damaged the main force of the US Joint Forces, but also recovered a large amount of lost territory and successfully turned the US Joint Forces from an active offensive to a defensive position.

The overall results of this battle were very amazing. The 13th Corps performed very well. It not only annihilated the South Korean 8th Division and 7th Division, but also wiped out the Turkish 1st Brigade and inflicted heavy damage on the US 9th Army, reducing the 7-strong army to less than 2.

This counterattack killed more than 8 US coalition troops, including more than 4 US troops, and the rest were all captured.

Among these more than 4 people, more than half were killed by the 120th and 358th Regiments under the 359th Division.

This time, more than 1100 artillery pieces of various types were seized, including more than 155 200mm howitzers alone. In addition, there were thousands of military trucks, jeeps, motorcycles, etc. of various types, and more than 200 Xiafei light tanks.

The most surprising thing was that 9 US military planes that were stuck on the runway and had no time to take off were seized.

The 13th Corps of the Volunteer Army only lost about 4 people in this battle.

This time the casualty ratio reached an astonishing 2:1, and the US Joint Forces suffered heavy losses.

There was one particularly surprising piece of news, which happened on December 12rd in the north of Seoul.

Walker, then commander of the U.S. 8th Army, was in a military jeep and had a car accident while retreating southward. Both the car and the people in the car rolled into a ditch at the foot of the mountain, and all the people in the car were killed on the spot.

The most surprising thing is that the accident was caused by a truck fully loaded with equipment of the South Korean army. The main reason for this accident was that the US Joint Forces were too chaotic when fleeing to the south, and everyone was scrambling to escape first, which led to such an accident.

This is also the American general with the highest death toll in the entire North and South Korean battlefield.

In addition, the then commander of the 9th U.S. Army, Moore, was shot by He Yuzhu, the cook squad leader of the 358th Regiment's guard company.

Afterwards, the Zhisi commended and rewarded the troops and individuals who performed outstandingly in this battle.

All the officers and soldiers of the 358th Regiment where He Daming was located were once again awarded the honor of first-class collective merit.

He Daming himself was directly promoted to deputy commander of the 120th Division, and the regiment political commissar Yu Chengguang was promoted to deputy political commissar of the 120th Division.

When the two learned of the promotion, their faces were naturally filled with smiles. After all, it is not easy to move up to the next level after becoming the team leader.

As for He Daming's nephew He Yuzhu, for his great contribution in killing the commander of the 9th Army of the US Army, he was commended by the Volunteer Army Headquarters, awarded a first-class individual merit, and was directly promoted to platoon leader under the guard company, achieving a two-level jump. Moreover, his heroic deeds were made into a positive teaching material by the Volunteer Army Headquarters and began to be widely circulated within the Volunteer Army.

For a time, He Yuzhu's name began to become somewhat well-known within the entire Volunteer Army.

However, He Daming is completely different from him. He is now well-known in the US Joint Forces.

Especially the battle of Sansoli, which frightened the American troops. Now when they heard the 358th Regiment, they couldn't help but think of the crazy commander He Daming.

As for the candidate to replace He Daming as the leader of the 358th Regiment, it is Chu Yun. He is the deputy leader of the 358th Regiment, a trusted and capable man under He Daming, and one of He Daming's staunch supporters.

At the temporary base of the 358th Regiment, He Daming and Yu Chengguang received a notice from the division headquarters and prepared to go to the division headquarters for a meeting.

On the way there, Yu Chengguang teased He Daming directly.

"Lao He, I never thought that both of us would be promoted, and luckily we are still in the same unit. From now on, you will be the deputy division commander and I will be the deputy political commissar of the division. Please take good care of me."

He Daming laughed when he heard Yu Chengguang's polite words.

"Hahaha, Lao Yu, don't try to play tricks on me, it's good enough that you just take care of me.

It's interesting to say that we have been partners since we joined the revolution, and we are still the same now. So, we should be a golden pair, inseparable."

Yu Chengguang was quite benefited by hearing this.

Along the way, the two of them talked and laughed until they arrived at the division headquarters. At this time, in the temporary tent built at the division headquarters, all the cadres above the regimental level were ready.

When Division Commander Luo Sheng saw He Daming and Yu Chengguang coming, he immediately took the lead in applauding.

"Come, let us welcome the heroes of our 120th Division, the newly appointed Deputy Division Commander He Daming and Deputy Division Political Commissar Yu Chengguang."

Upon hearing this, everyone followed Luo Sheng's example and began to raise their hands and applaud.

He Daming was slightly surprised to see this scene, and then he spoke,

"Commander, everyone, what are you doing? You're making me feel a little embarrassed."

When Luo Sheng heard what He Daming said, he rolled his eyes at him.

"Deputy Division Commander He, don't take advantage of me. I am praising you. I haven't been promoted to Division Commander yet, but you have made progress before me.

But having said that, you two are well-deserved to be promoted this time, and even I am convinced this time.

Can you tell me in detail how you came up with the idea of ​​seizing the artillery positions of the 9th US Army?"

In response to Luo Sheng's questions, He Daming slowly recounted the entire incident in detail in front of everyone.

When everyone learned the truth, they stared at each other in bewilderment. They really didn't expect that He Daming was such a bold and daring person.

.........................

After chatting for a while, the teacher Luo Sheng returned to the topic.

"Comrades, we have gathered you here today. In addition to the appointments of Comrades He Daming and Yu Chengguang, the subsequent recruits will arrive one after another. The various regiments can hurry up to recruit those who need them.

In addition, our 120th Division is currently entering a short period of rest and recuperation, waiting for the new combat order from the Zhisi to disband! "

Following the order to disperse, everyone present scattered like birds and beasts.
