Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Chapter 603 Crossing the Yalu River (2)

Sino-North Korean border,

Andong Airport,

A huge transport plane, like a nimble iron bird, cut through the sky and slowly landed towards the airport.

Its huge fuselage gleamed with metallic luster in the afterglow of the setting sun. Carrying mission and hope, it touched the runway steadily. The friction between its tires and the ground made a sharp sound, accompanied by a puff of blue smoke. The transport plane glided quickly on the runway and gradually slowed down.

The hatch slowly opened.

Yin Xinjun, Ding Shan, Sun Wei, Wu Feng and others filed out, followed by more than 1 members of the st Combat Group Headquarters.

The ground crew quickly brought the gangway.

On the runway, Li Zengxin, the logistics director of the military sub-district, and a strange officer had been waiting for a long time.

Li Zengxin arrived in Andong yesterday and, under the order of Yin Xinjun, established Mulan Special District Offices in several areas along the Sino-North Korean border, specifically responsible for providing additional supplies to the troops entering North Korea.

According to the current logistics management regulations, the various troops still cannot meet the North Korean combat standards envisioned by Yin Xinjun. He thought about it and decided that it would be better to do it himself!

The various units belonging to the 1st Battle Group have started to receive their equipment one after another since yesterday. Today, each unit boarded the train early in the morning and rushed to the border in batches!

On the runway, an officer raised his hand and saluted.

"Hello, Commander Yin, I am Xia Gensheng, the liaison officer assigned by the Zhisi to your department!"

Yin Xinjun asked quickly,

"Hello, Chief of Staff Xia, how are you? What's the situation now? Do we have any mission?"

"Commander Yin, let's go inside and talk!"

Several people came to a house in the airport, and Wu Feng immediately arranged for someone to bring a map and spread it on the table!

Xia Gensheng said,

"The current situation is like this. It will probably take several days for the main force to cross the river. The Zhisi requires that tonight, the 42nd Army will cross the river from Ji'an and the 1st Battle Group will cross the river from Andong in batches. The focus should be on sending reconnaissance teams behind enemy lines. Their main task is to find out the enemy's situation. Now the People's Army is retreating too fast. They have completely collapsed and they themselves can't figure out where the enemy has advanced to!

This is the most urgent matter for Zhisi at the moment. Originally, Zhisi planned to stop the enemy along the straight line from Tieshan to Qiuchang to Huangcaoling to Liyuan. According to the current intelligence of the People's Army, the enemy should have crossed this line, so we must first scout the enemy situation clearly! "

Yin Xinjun, Ding Shan, Sun Wei, and Wu Feng listened and looked at the map.

Wu Feng interjected,

“Why not send out a reconnaissance plane?”

A mysterious smile appeared at the corner of Xia Gensheng's mouth!

"Zhisi hopes to operate covertly in the first few days and try to catch the enemy off guard!"

Yin Xinjun nodded.

"Okay, I understand! The first batch of troops from our 1st Battle Group will arrive in Andong tonight. I will arrange for personnel from the Armored Reconnaissance Company to cross the river overnight!"

Xia Gensheng asked again,

"Commander Yin, the General Staff requires that we move during the day and at night before the general attack, and do not expose our targets. The U.S. Air Force is rampant right now!"

Yin Xinjun smiled.

"I've also considered this. Our 1st Assault Group has too much heavy equipment. I asked them to wait a few days before entering North Korea and get ready. The 1st Combat Group will set off first with light equipment!"

In the dead of night, a brand new diesel locomotive slowly pulled into Dandong Railway Station. The carriage was packed with young soldiers in canvas uniforms, their faces full of fatigue but determination. The locomotive made a low roar, as if telling of the difficulty of the upcoming mission.

When the train stopped and the door opened, a cold wind blew in. The soldiers got off the train one by one and lined up neatly on the platform. Their figures looked particularly tall in the morning light. Although the long journey made their steps a little heavy, their eyes flashed with unshakable determination.

The platform was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

Forklifts and cranes are constantly unloading all kinds of materials, and cars, tanks, and armored vehicles are shuttling back and forth beside the platform!

Du Manliang, the commander of the 1st Battle Group Armored Reconnaissance Company, was assembling his team when the communicator behind him handed him the microphone.

"Chief of Staff!"

"Report, I'm Du Manliang, I just got off the car!"

"Immediately dispatch 20 people, carry radios, and cross the river for reconnaissance! Please note, do not carry walkie-talkies!"

"Yes!"

Du Manliang was very excited!

Unexpectedly, I got a job right after I got off the car!

While the station was busy loading and unloading supplies,

Yalu River,

Yin Xinjun had quietly gone ashore while the moon was dark and the wind was strong. After going ashore, he put away his hovercraft!

Taking out the compass and map, he determined the direction and ran towards the south!

He did not choose to act with Ding Shan and the others, but continued to follow his favorite old pattern, traveling alone!

The main force will soon enter North Korea, and Yin Xinjun's purpose of traveling alone is to find out the enemy situation as quickly as possible and to determine how to fight next.

Now, because the UN forces are advancing too fast and the People’s Army is continuing to retreat, it can be said that they are suffering a crushing defeat and the enemy situation is changing almost every hour!

Yin Xinjun had just climbed over two hills when he heard the cries of children coming from the left front.

He rushed over.

On the mountain path,

A few people gathered around a bonfire.

Someone is crying non-stop.

Someone was talking in confusion.

"The captain has died! What should we do?"

"Where should we go now?"

"I have no idea...!"

"I do not know either!"

"Then let's go home!"

Hearing the footsteps, the group of children turned their heads.

They stared at Yin Xinjun who was running towards them, their eyes full of fear and vigilance.

"Stop, who are you!"

With the help of the bonfire, Yin Xinjun saw clearly that they were indeed a group of children, but they were wearing military uniforms, which looked out of place!

There were several bodies lying on the ground.

Looking at the horrified eyes of these children,

Yin Xinjun took out a handful of colorful candies.

"I am a Chinese, what are you doing here?"

The children's eyes showed surprise. They stretched out their hands one by one and quickly grabbed all the candies.

An older child told Yin Xinjun what happened here while eating. It turned out that they were from the Sinuiju Recruit Team and were led by the captain to the south to provide reinforcements!

However, during the day, the recruit team was strafed by a US military plane. The team leader, the only adult in the recruit team, and several team members were shot and killed on the spot!

The oldest of these children is 15 years old and the youngest is only 13!

"Are you hungry?" Yin Xinjun took out a few more cans of food. The children crowded around him. Looking at these children who were only as tall as his waist, Yin Xinjun felt sad.

"Listen to me, eat your fill, turn around and head north to China! It's safe there!"

The children all nodded, not quite understanding what was said!

Tokyo,

General Headquarters of the United Nations Command,

A US military officer is reporting,

"Commander, our army has occupied Pyongyang. At the same time, General Walker's 8th Army has defeated the North Korean troops in front of Busan! We are currently advancing northward step by step!

Next steps:

Western Front,

The left wing consisted of the British 27th Brigade, the US 24th Division, and the South Korean 1st and 7th Divisions, which advanced from Pyongyang and Sariwon along the Gyeongui Railway (Seoul to Sinuiju) toward Sinuiju, Sakju, Changseong, and Byuktong.

On the right, the 2nd ROK Army Corps commanded the 6th and 8th ROK Divisions, advancing from the Sungcheon, Poeup, and Yangdeok areas along the Manpo Railway (Manpo to Suncheon) toward Chusan and Ganggye.

The 187th Airborne Regiment was planned to land in the Sukchon area.

The 1st Cavalry Division entered Pyongyang and served as the army group reserve.

Eastern Front,

The South Korean Capital Division was commanded by the 1st South Korean Army to advance from Hamhung and Hungnam to the north, occupy Bukcheong and Sinhung, and then head straight for the Tumen River along the coastal railway line;

The next step is to land the 10st Marine Division and the 1th Infantry Division of the 7th Army in Wonsan and Iwon respectively, and then advance to Changjin, Ganggye, and Huishan Town.

After reading the war report, the American military officer closed the folder, stood aside, and said with some concern,

"Commander,

Since they did not encounter any decent resistance, the South Korean army is pursuing quickly, and some of their troops have already crossed the Cheongcheon River!

But the Chinese government has repeatedly warned through the Indian Embassy that the 38th parallel is the final bottom line, and if we cross the 38th parallel, they will send troops! "

MacArthur, smoking a pipe, said disapprovingly, "The Chinese join the war? What can they change? Fighting is like playing football. As long as you have the ability, you can cross the midfield line and attack the opponent's goal at will!"

"Commander, General Walker called and opposed the withdrawal of the Tenth Army from the Western Front. He suggested that the Tenth Army continue to pursue northward with the Eighth Army!"

"Walker is a blockhead and knows nothing. If the Tenth Army lands in Wonsan and Iwon and heads directly north, it can block the only land route for the Soviets to intervene in Korean affairs. By then, the Korean Peninsula will be our territory!" In MacArthur's heart, the only thing he was worried about was the Soviets!
