Back to the Republic of China to be a editor

In the past month or so, the 13th Corps has conducted intensive air defense evacuation and camouflage training. During the training, it also invited reconnaissance planes from the Air Force and even the Soviet Air Force to help see the camouflage effect.It turned out that the 105mm howitzer was too tall, even if the soldiers carefully filled the gun body with branches and observed it visually from a low altitude, it was still possible to recognize it.As for the 75mm light howitzer and 108mm rocket launcher, it is relatively more convenient to hang camouflage nets and branches to hide.What's more, the 108mm rocket launcher can also be disassembled and hidden, so it is completely impossible to see that it is a gun.

"It is these cars that must be concealed," Hong Xuezhi said. "The U.S. military's aerial reconnaissance is very powerful. If the cars are destroyed, it is difficult to push the cannons, and it is even more difficult to transport the shells. Our artillery is useless."

Seven hours later, the first two armies that entered North Korea to participate in the war crossed the river and hid in the mountains and dense forests not far from the other side of the Yalu River.

"Comrade Gao Shan also told Peng and Ye: [-]. Have you advanced? Ye should lead the Thirteenth Corps Headquarters to Peng's location immediately, and together with Peng, set up the Chinese People's Volunteer Army Headquarters so that they can go back to deploy and fight. [-]. Now it is The question of fighting for fighters is a question of completing the deployment of the campaign within a few days so that operations can start a few days later, rather than a question of deploying defenses for a period of time and then discussing attacks. [-]. If the troops cross the river, they must be commanded by an organization in Anton, Comrades Gao Shan and Deng Hua can lead a part of the organization to stay in Anton, and the rest of the frontier defense army command organization comrades will cross the river and go to Peng's office. It is up to the discretion. Mao."

Under the chairman's telegram, the personnel of the Northeast Frontier Defense Army/Volunteer Army who had not crossed the river on the first day also began to cross the Yalu River at dusk on the second day to go to the place where Mr. Peng was stationed to form the headquarters of the Volunteer Army.

Among the group of government personnel who crossed the river, there was a government personnel with big eyes, thick lips, and ordinary clothes who came to Anton suddenly a few days ago to join the ranks of the Volunteer Army Command.His main job is confidential secretary and part-time Russian translator.

Chapter 69, the first move

On October 10, Qianchuan, North Korea.

38军是10月20日傍晚进入朝鲜的。112、113师在20日晚行军30公里，21日晚走了45公里。10月22日下午，在前川山麓的针叶林中隐蔽的113师正要结束休息准备开始行军，1950年的第一场雪降到了他们头上。

"Oh, snow! Like cotton!"

Li Yurou, deputy captain of the health team of the 337th Regiment, was from the south. He joined the army in 1950 and went north with the 13th Corps.Seeing the snowflakes dancing in the sky, she pulled the belt of the M1 carbine, swung the gun on her back, went under the tree, scraped off the snow on the leaves, kneaded it into snowballs and started a snowball fight with the female soldiers of the health team.

The soldiers in the north ignored the snow and quietly ate sorghum rice and dried salted radish in the forest with their rice bowls.Snowflakes kept drifting into the bowl with the wind, and the bowl was not steaming until half of the rice was cooked, and the meal was really cool to eat.Two days ago, the soldiers thought they would sweat when they ran while wearing cotton clothes, but now they don't dislike it at all. Wearing the puffy cotton clothes on their bodies makes them feel more at ease.

Beijing.

"Gao and Deng immediately transferred to Peng and Ye: Up to now, neither the US nor the puppet army expected that our volunteer army would join the war, so they dared to divide into east and west and advance boldly. Now the puppet capital division and the puppet 3rd division on the eastern front are advancing at a slightly slower pace. Slow, it will take a few days to reach Changjin and Jiangjie. The puppet army on the western front and the US military are advancing very fast. It is recommended to use 42 division of the 1nd Army to block the enemy on the eastern front in Changjin, and the other 2 divisions to cut off Wonsan and Pyongyang The main purpose of this operation is to annihilate the puppet 3th, 6th, and 7th divisions. This battle is mainly to annihilate the puppet army and strive for the first victory abroad. It is a good opportunity to change the situation in the Korean war. How to deploy it, see Peng Ye It was carefully planned and implemented.”

When the Volunteers entered the DPRK, the chairman repeatedly emphasized that after entering the DPRK, they should not think about building fortifications immediately, but should attack boldly, and take blood when the U.S. Army and the South Korean Army did not react.This principle laid the foundation for the tactics of a campaign.

……

Ping'an North Road, Dayu Cave.

This is an abandoned gold mine.In the past few decades, the several mountains around Dayu Cave have been dug with longer or shorter mines.When the gold mines were still being mined, many houses and villages were built in the valleys and flats of Dayu Cave. After the gold mines were exhausted, Dayu Cave was no longer prosperous, and the residents moved away, leaving it desolate.After the Volunteer Army Command entered the DPRK, the headquarters chose to be here.

In the night, a truck drove to the end of a certain road in Dayudong.After the car stopped, several volunteer soldiers got out of the car, smeared and unloaded large rolls of wires from the car, put on simple waterproof casings one by one, laid them in the shallow trenches that had been planed on the ground, and then covered them. soil, and carefully cover it with dead grass and branches.The soldiers laid the line forward section by section. When they reached the bottom of the mountain, Li Qiang, who had been helping to lay the line just now, went up the mountain first, and walked in through an inconspicuous mine entrance. This is where Mr. Peng and Ye Ting live. The headquarters of the Volunteer Army— —Later shortened to Shiji.

"Hello, Mr. Peng, and Mr. Ye." Li Qiang saluted the commander and deputy commander of the Volunteer Army. "The No. 0 dense line has been erected in front of the cave. Please help and cooperate with the headquarters on how to wire in the cave."

"Xiao Cao is fully responsible for the layout of line 0 and the secret room. He will lead you to wire and install it. Xiao Cao?"

Confidential secretary and Russian translator 'Xiao Cao' came out of the office in Dongzhong, shook hands with Li Qiang and said hello.

Mr. Peng and Ye Ting formed a unified opinion very early on, and 'Xiao Cao' was in charge of the telegraph machine on Line 0.First, he is the chairman's son; second, because he is the chairman's son, the probability of defection or being infiltrated by enemy agents is zero...

The telegraph line laying team moved very quickly. Ye Ting looked outside the hole and could already see the busy team members. "Comrade Li Qiang, because the U.S. military's aircraft surveillance and air strikes are very intensive, if there is any sign of being discovered by the U.S. military at the entrance of the headquarters, the headquarters will immediately transfer to another mountain or another mine in the Dayudong area. If so, your Communications Department How long will it take to re-wire?"

"If you need to re-wire, please send a message to Anton with a secret message. Comrades from the Ministry of Communications will immediately enter North Korea. It will take about two night work cycles to complete." Li Qiang replied.

Ye Ting nodded.

The dense wire installation project entered the cave, and Xiao Cao took Li Qiang and the laying team to a rather closed area in the mine, where two wired telegraph transceivers had already been installed.

"Comrade Xiao Cao," Li Qiang lowered his voice and said solemnly to Xiao Cao when the laying team installed the line, "Line 0 has the highest level of security. Originally, the general staff planned to let only Mr. Peng and Commander Ye know this secret. But since someone needs to send and receive copies of the telegram, you also need to be exposed to line 0 and the content it sends. In the entire volunteer army, there are only three people who know what line 0 is, and you are the third person."

Xiao Cao understood what Li Qiang meant and nodded.

"You are a confidential secretary, and you should have learned related disciplines before. Now this task is more important than a confidential secretary. From now on, you have to reduce your contact with other comrades and have fewer opportunities to chat with them. The probability of mistakes is also lower." Li Qiang added, "Reduce contact, avoid activities in Room 0, and try not to go out of the cave. If you can't hold back, just bask in the sun at the entrance of the cave."

October 10.warm well.

On the Western Front, the U.S. Eighth Army had already crossed the Qingchuan River, and the South Korean Army was still leading the charge, followed by the U.S. Army.Yesterday, MacArthur issued a new operational order to Walker, commander of the Eighth Army: Cancel the ban on the use of non-South Korean troops north of the Xuanchuan-Guindong-Songjin line issued on October 8, and require the United Nations All the troops accelerated and reached the border between China and North Korea on the Yalu River.MacArthur's "Thanksgiving home" plan is about to start.

在第8集团军序列中的南朝鲜第6师于10月25日上午占领温井，又继续向西北进军，想尽快抵达鸭绿江边。第6师2团1营乘坐20多辆汽车开路，第2、第3营徒步，大摇大摆地在公路上行军。

"I found the car column of the South Korean Army, a total of 27 trucks and 6 artillery pieces!" The squad of the 118th Division's reconnaissance company rushed forward 5 kilometers to serve as an observation post. After seeing the convoy of the 1st South Korean Battalion, they immediately reported to the division headquarters.

"The 354th Company of the 8th Regiment intercepted the front of the highway. After the enemy truck stopped, the 354th Regiment and the 353rd Regiment were ready to attack on the right flank!"

118师市长邓悦看看时间，10月25日上午10时30分。

Wang Hegao, deputy company commander of the 118th Company of the 354th Regiment of the 8th Division, lay between the dry grass covered with snow, watching the South Korean motorcade coming from a distance.At the place where they ambush, the road turned a little bit. In front of them, there was a section of road several hundred meters away. The car had to go in a straight line, and it was heading straight for the 8th company fire platoon.

"All ready!" Wang Hegao looked at the two "40 Fire" - 40mm rocket launcher shooters beside him, and said in a low voice, "When the effective range is reached, follow the order of No. 1, No. 2, and my No. 3. Order to launch sequentially. Prepare—launch on the 1st!"

"Bang!" There was a loud crisp sound, and the sound waves echoed in the valley.A large jet of gas was ejected from the tail of the bazooka, blowing up the snow and floating soil behind it.The head of the 354th regiment ambushing on the right wing of the highway not only saw the gas and snow, but also saw a stream of white smoke stretching towards the South Korean army trucks that were driving along the highway...

With a bang, the cab of the leading truck was blown to pieces, and the out-of-control truck plunged into the side of the road, and overturned into a shallow ditch with more than 20 South Korean soldiers.

"Prepare, launch No. 2!"

"No. 2 launch!"

Wang and Gao frowned. This kid probably had only buzzing ears and couldn't hear anything.Had to hit the second truck by him.

Wang and Gao pulled the trigger, and the rocket flew toward the second truck in a white trail.While Wang and Gao were firing, shooter No. 2 finally came to his senses and also fired rockets.

After firing the rocket launcher, Wang and Gao rolled sideways, and they rolled into a depression holding the rocket launcher together. The other two soldiers also left the launch position and looked for a place to hide.Wang Hegao took out a rocket that was placed in the depression, unpacked it, loaded it into the rocket, and took off the safety cap.

The machine guns and rifles of the South Korean Army did not actually shoot at Wang Hegao. Now, one of the two 40-fire hit the truck, and the engine compartment was completely paralyzed in the middle of the road with the fire.

The remaining more than 20 trucks braked urgently and stopped on the road one by one.When the South Korean soldiers jumped out of the truck, there was rapid gunfire from the hills beside the road, and bullets rained down on them.At the same time, an extremely loud and piercing horn sounded...

cloud mountain.

The 1th Regiment of the 15st Division of South Korea, led by a company of tanks, advanced northward along the road.

The tanks of the 1st Division are American-made M24 light tanks. After the U.S. military discovered that the tanks of the Korean People’s Army were all T-34-85, the light tanks M24 and T-34 were sent to the line. The U.S. infantry divisions were equipped with, All M24 light tanks stored in Japan were transferred to the South Korean Army.However, now the People’s Army’s tanks are basically all gone. The new batch of tanks aided by the Soviet Union is still training tankers. The 1st Division of South Korea is driving light tanks. In the past, the few recruits or militias of the People's Army could not fight tanks at all.

Not long after starting from Yunshan, the 15th regiment and the M24 tank company arrived at Chaoyang Cave.Although it was early winter, the commander of the tank company was in high spirits. He leaned out from the top of the tank turret and looked at the surrounding mountains with satisfaction.Just as he lowered his head to avoid the wind and lit a cigarette with a lighter, he suddenly heard a long whistling sound of "bang woo——".Looking up, the company commander didn't see anything. He turned his head and looked back, only to find a trail of white smoke gradually drifting away in the wind.

Before he understood what was going on, three clouds of white mist rose from 400 meters in front of him to the left, and the three white smokes flew towards the tank he was riding at the same time.

"The first company blocked the leading vehicle, the second company hit the rear vehicle, and after stopping the tanks, all the bazookas were grouped into groups, three rounds were fired, and the roll call was performed in order. The heavy machine guns fired immediately to cover!"

In Jiandong Nanshan in Chaoyangdong, the 120th Regiment of the 360th Division arrived at the battlefield two hours earlier than the 1st South Korean Division and occupied the commanding heights.

The 360 ​​regiment is equipped with a total of 27 40 firearms, and now 18 are used, divided into 6 anti-tank teams.Ambush at 400-500 meters away from the road.For the first rocket just now, the regiment leader asked the anti-tank team to measure the wind speed and familiarize themselves with the lead, and then fired three salvos after correction.Now the regiment leader can see the lead tank of the South Korean army bursting into flames without using a telescope. It exploded with a bang within half a minute, and many parts of the tank flew up.

The first battle of the first campaign, that is, the first battle to resist US aggression and aid Korea, started like this.

在温井，118师以两个团对南6师的第1营穿插分割，一个半小时就全歼第1营又一个炮兵中队，又掉过头来攻击跟在后面的第2、第3营。南朝鲜军仓促退回温井，随后118师和120师的一个团包围了温井。入夜，配属给118师的军属炮兵团一个炮兵营、1个火箭炮连运动到温井前线，在75榴弹炮和108火箭炮的攻击下，温井的南朝鲜军——南6师2谈2、3营和南6师19团之一部军四处溃散，我军仅用两个小时就攻占温井，大约歼灭南朝鲜军一个整团。

In Chaoyangdong, Yunshan, the 360th regiment served as a blocking force, facing the attack of a regiment and a tank company of the South Korean Army. The 1 ​​regiment took advantage of the terrain of Jiandong Nanshan to set up an ambush, destroyed 1 light tanks in a row at a medium distance, and then nailed the South Korean army to Chaoyang Cave, unable to move forward throughout the day.When it was dark, the 360th regiment of the 7st South Division could not move by itself. During the surprise attack in the morning and the whole day of fighting, 1 of the 15 tanks of the tank company had been destroyed, and the infantry suffered huge casualties inexplicably. The losses of the frontline soldiers of the two battalions exceeded the warning line and could not continue to attack.

Chapter 70, The Chaos of North Korea

During the day and night battles on the 25th, less than 6 out of more than 2 people from the 2000nd Regiment of the South 300th Division escaped, and their regiment leader also fell into the hands of the 118th Division and was being taken back to the rear prisoner-of-war camp.The remnants of the 2nd Regiment withdrew to Xichuan and joined the 6th Regiment of the South 19th Division in Xichuan.Seeing that the 2nd regiment was beaten like this, the head of the 19th regiment was also taken aback, and immediately ordered the troops to start a defensive posture on the spot, build fortifications, and enter a defensive state on the spot.
