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

It was night again.

The cold wind wrapped in fine snow swept through the dead woods. In the white snow, 235 soldiers from the sharp knife platoon of the 5th Company of the 42th Regiment of the Volunteer Army were crawling to infiltrate the 1282 high ground position north of Liutanli.

This high ground is extremely important. If you occupy it, you can overlook the entire Liutanli.

According to reconnaissance, there are about 200 American troops stationed on the high ground. Since the terrain on the mountain is narrow and it is not convenient for large troops to deploy, Battalion Commander Liu Jin decided to let the 5th Company attack first, and after the breakthrough, the 6th Company will follow up!

Du Changtian, the platoon leader of the spearhead platoon, was extremely nervous. They were less than a hundred meters away from the US military position. He wanted to jump up and lead his troops to charge, but he knew that it was too dangerous to do so.

This US military position is equipped with powerful firepower. Reconnaissance reports show that there are at least six heavy machine gun fortifications and two mortar positions on this high ground!

Du Changtian has always had a question. In such cold weather, the soil has frozen hard. He really wants to rush up to see how the Americans built their positions.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang in my ear, but it wasn't that loud.

Suddenly, a beam of white light exploded in the team, illuminating the snowy field within a radius of 80 meters as if it were noon. The shadows between the dead branches were crushed into powder, and the outlines of everyone were exposed in the strong light.

A soldier stepped on a trip-light mine!

There was an immediate burst of panicked shouting from the American military position, followed by the sound of gunfire, and bullets like raindrops were already rushing towards the knife platoon!

But the deprivation of vision is more deadly than bullets. During the 27-second blinding effect, Zhang Dashan, the squad leader of the sharp knife platoon, could not see anything in an instant. The green spots left on his retina distorted the tracer bullet's trajectory into a ghostly snake shape.

The soldiers leaped up and charged, but soon fell in the crossfire of several machine guns!

The sneak attack failed. Seeing this, the battalion commander Liu Jin immediately called for artillery support and planned to start a strong attack!

Tonight, we are not only attacking Hill 1282, but also launching attacks on Hills 1282, 1240, and 1176 to the north of Liutanli! In order to reduce casualties, the division headquarters originally requested to use sneak attacks as much as possible, because these three hills are difficult to attack and easy to defend!

After ten minutes of shelling, they began to stop! These were the 107mm and 82mm shells equipped by the regiment and battalion!

Although there were only ten minutes, thousands of shells were fired, almost using up half of the regiment's stockpile of mortar shells. The firing rate was really too fast!

The charge has been sounded.

Liu Jin led the entire battalion to launch a charge on Hill 1428.

Zhang Dali, a soldier from the 5th Machine Gun Platoon, followed the team with a recoilless rifle on his shoulder.

Since the troops began to equip recoilless rifles in April this year, the two Type 92 infantry guns equipped in the battalion have been retired! The original gunners are still okay, some have started to practice with Type 82 mortars, and some have started to practice with recoilless rifles!

Suddenly, there was a burst of intensive gunfire from the high ground ahead. The US military's heavy machine gun fire points opened fire one after another, tongues of fire spurted out, and comrades-in-arms kept falling in the hail of bullets.

Zhang Dali was extremely anxious. He quickly looked for a suitable shooting position, completely ignoring the bullets whizzing past his head.

Finally, he found a relatively hidden earth slope, knelt down, pointed the recoilless gun forward, and yelled,

"Load!"

Deputy gunner Yu Po knelt beside him and loaded a shell. His hands were shaking slightly due to nervousness and cold, but his eyes were extremely firm.

Zhang Dali pulled the trigger suddenly.

With a loud bang, the shells flew towards the American firepower point with the anger of revenge. With a "boom", the flames splashed and the sound of the heavy machine guns stopped abruptly. The soldiers immediately cheered and their morale was greatly boosted!

A machine gun seemed to have discovered Zhang Dali's position, and bullets rained down on him.

Zhang Dali did not flinch at all. He told Yu Po to continue loading the shells and prepare to shoot again. Suddenly, a bullet hit his arm, and blood instantly stained his sleeves red. But he just gritted his teeth and continued to operate the recoilless gun with one hand.

Just as he was about to fire the second round, another bullet hit his chest. Zhang Dali's body shook, but he still held the gun tightly and used up his last bit of strength to fire the shell. This shell accurately hit the American firepower point again, completely destroying it.

Zhang Dali fell slowly, with a relieved smile on his face. He used his life to open up a way forward for his comrades and made a huge contribution to the victory of this night attack. The moment he closed his eyes, he seemed to see the peaceful mountains and rivers of the motherland and the happy smiles of the people.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Volunteer Army finally occupied Hill 1282.

Liu Jin held a flashlight and observed the U.S. military fortifications with some curiosity. There were not only trenches, anti-gun holes, and foxholes, but even machine gun fortifications made of logs and cement blocks. This made him amazed. In such a cold day and with such hard soil, the U.S. military was able to quickly build such neat and standard fortifications. No wonder the mortars had fired so many shells but had not yet wiped out all the enemies!

At the same time as the Ninth Corps launched its attack,

Yin Xinjun and Ding Shan rushed to the Shecang together. This was the only way to get to Hamhung.

This is the characteristic of mountain roads. Yin Xinjun can easily bypass it by himself, but the thousands of people in the 1st Combat Group cannot do so!

Before the arrival of the 1st Battle Group,

Yin Xinjun had been lying in ambush in Shecang for more than four hours! According to the results of the wiretap, a whole regiment of the 3th Regiment of the 7rd Division of the US Army, about 3000 people, was stationed in Shecang. In addition to building military camps and defensive positions on the roadside, they also occupied two nearby high grounds!

In order to deal with this enemy force, he came up with an idea, which was also a common trick: camouflage!

Because the 3rd Division of the US Army had never fought against the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, they had no idea what the Chinese People's Volunteer Army looked like.

But for the sake of caution,

Yin Xinjun still took out two Korean army uniforms, and he and Ding Shan each took one, and led a large group of people to rush towards the community granary!

After dark, the American military sentry at the Shecangli intersection saw a series of American trucks approaching, and the first thought was naturally that they were friendly forces!

He stopped the truck and questioned it as per the routine procedure.

"Which part are you from?"

"Reconnaissance Battalion of the Capital Division of the Korean Army, we have encountered the Volunteer Army and must report to Colonel Green!"

Green was the commander of the 3th Regiment of the 7rd Division of the US Army. Yin Xinjun had already figured out the situation clearly when he was eavesdropping!

When the sentry heard this, he no longer suspected anything and parked the truck into the American military camp in the community granary!

Yin Xinjun and Ding Shan jumped off the truck and followed a US soldier to a tent.

Sitting on a chair inside was a colonel, with a lieutenant colonel and a major standing beside him!

Yin Xinjun was naturally very happy. He wished there were as many officers as possible in the tent.

Outside the camp, Tang Junping and others took out cigarettes and flirted with the American military sentries!

Not long after, a loud noise was heard in the camp.

The American military sentry's face changed drastically!

Tang Junping took out his pistol, and the two guards behind him also raised their submachine guns and fired at several American soldiers. Then, he waved his hand and the soldiers immediately rushed in!

At this moment, the camp was in chaos, with flames shooting up into the sky.

Yin Xinjun threw explosive packs everywhere and shouted in authentic American English.

"Run! Run! The volunteers are coming!"

Many American soldiers rushed out of the tent and were met with crazy shooting by Tang Junping and his men!

After an hour, the fighting ended and more than 1800 American soldiers laid down their weapons!

On the outskirts of Shecang, Yang Daokun had led his men to surround Hills 923 and 851 guarded by the U.S. Army! The order he received was to surround but not attack!

However, although there was no attack, Yang Daokun still ordered the 2nd Armored Regiment's 12 Mole 150mm self-propelled artillery and 6 150mm Grizzly assault guns to fiercely bombard the US positions!

Sure enough, Yin Xinjun sent a few more officers as prisoners of war. After hearing the calls of these American officers and prisoners of war, the defenders who had lost their support finally understood the situation. After some ideological struggle, they simply surrendered!

In this battle, 3 people from the 7th Regiment of the 3360rd Division of the US Army were ultimately annihilated, of which more than 2100 were captured!

At this time, it was not yet dawn.

Yin Xinjun discussed with Ding Shan, and he once again took the lead and ran towards Hamhung!
