Without a guide, relying on a map and a compass, the 335th Regiment began a difficult March over mountains and mountains in the cold. There is only one goal: to catch up with the main force and strive to catch up with the battle. After walking for two nights, we arrived at a small mountain village more than ten kilometers away from Tokugawa, and all the officers and men of the regiment, including Fan, could not walk. Fan Tianen ordered a staff officer to take people to scout the position of the main force and let the troops rest in the village. When the guards were looking for air defense, they accidentally caught more than a dozen South Korean soldiers in a vegetable cellar. When asked, it turned out that the battle of Tokugawa was over. Soon, the staff who went out for reconnaissance came back and said that the main force had advanced to Xiariling. Fan Tianen immediately ordered the troops to continue to catch up. Near Xialing, the 335th Regiment finally caught up with the main force that had just laid the Stellar Ridge. Fan Tianen also got a radio station from the American car lying on the highway. At this point, Yang Dayi, the first and second division commander, was instructed by the troops to immediately occupy Song Gufeng. The teacher suffers from not having more troops to mobilize. Seeing the arrival of the 335 regiment, Yang Dayi shouted happily: "What a heavenly soldier!"
Yang Dayi's order to Fan Tianen is: Go straight to SongGu Feng, where the American troops fleeing south will be stopped.
Fan Tianen with his extremely tired soldiers, immediately to the loose peak fast forward.
In the dark, the 335th Regiment broke through the blockade of American artillery and launched its forces in the area of Shutang Station. Fan Tianen ordered a battalion to occupy SongGu Feng.
The first battalion commander company is the third company. Three companies climbed up SongGu Feng at dawn, and before they could repair fortifications, a large number of American troops came along the road.
The troops heading south are the Second Division of the US Army.
Facing the endless American troops on the highway, after several days of marching, the three soldiers immediately forgot their hunger and fatigue.
Class eight is at the front of company three. When the American army was only 20 meters away from the position of Class 8, Class 8 gunner Yang took the lead in firing and immediately hit the first car. As soon as the gunfire rang, platoon leader Wang Jinhou (from Xiyou Village, Huadian Township, Qihe County, Dezhou City, Shandong Province, Chinese people's Volunteer Army Army 1 12 Division 335th Division 1 Battalion 3, Company 2, platoon leader) led five soldiers to the highway, and the rocket launcher approached to shoot at the tank, and grenades flew to the car. At this time, the blasting group of Class 5 also hit the second tank. Cars and tanks blocked the road, and the American soldiers in the car turned around and ran back.
Moments later, the US military organized an attack on SongGu Feng. If they want to live, they must open the channel of SongGu Feng.
Thus began one of the worst battles in the Korean War.
After the fighting started, Fan Tianen worried that the ground fortifications were not repaired and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, so he turned on the walkie-talkie and shouted to the first battalion. As a result, all English was ringing in the intercom, and the American commander there was quarreling. Fan Dasi had to order the 2nd Battalion to support the 1st Battalion and 3rd Company with machine gun fire to relieve the pressure on the front. Wang, the battalion commander of the first battalion, is even more worried about whether the third company can resist the enemy on the mountain package near the highway and without support. He ordered bayonets to be installed in the left company and the right company of the position of the third company.
The third charge of the American army began.
It's daylight.
American planes are crazy, wiping the heads of China soldiers and dropping a lot of bombs and incendiary bombs. American artillery was crazy, knowing that it would be all over if it didn't break through, so the shells rained on the positions of China's army. Shrapnel flying in the forefront of the three positions, flames.
American soldiers rushed up.
The battalion commander Wang immediately ordered Zuo Lian to attack from the side with a bayonet. After hand-to-hand combat, the American soldiers were forced down by bayonets, so they attacked from the right side of the third company, but the second company on the right side also jumped up with bayonets.
In this way, three companies are on the top of the front, and one company and two companies are on the side. In the bayonet battle, the first and second companies suffered heavy casualties.
The number of American troops attacking the front line of SongGu Feng is still multiplying.
Teacher Yang Dayi looked anxiously at Sanlian's direction. Standing on the hill of the HQ, he saw American cars and tanks everywhere on the road from the potion cave to Longyuanli, and there was no end in sight.
The fourth charge of the U.S. military began when the ground firepower was the strongest. American soldiers have rushed to the position of Class Four, and the soldiers of Class Four shouted: "Machine guns! Fight! " The machine gun can't fire because the barrel is bent. Machine gunner Li Yumin picked up his rifle from his comrades-in-arms and rushed at the American soldiers. His thigh was pierced by a bullet. He stopped the bleeding with a bullet and then got into a fight with the enemy. The soldiers of Class Four rushed over, and the American soldiers left him and ran. Three invisible platoon leaders crawled over and carried Li Yumin away. Li Yumin said: "You go to command quickly, the enemy is going to have sex again!"
At that time, the phone call from Liang Xingchu, the commander of the 38th Army, came. The commander was very angry with Fan Tianen on the phone. The reason is that the reconnaissance intelligence report said that four American gunboats were heading south by road in the defense zone of the 335th regiment. "Give me back! Remember, no American troops are allowed to flee to the south! "
Fan Tianen immediately sent two companies from the 3rd Battalion to chase them. In order to annihilate four gunboats, two infantry companies were deployed from the already tense forces, which is enough to show the determination of China's army to kill the US troops with every component. Fan Tianen's two infantry companies took a shortcut over the mountains and chased for a whole day, and finally caught up with and annihilated four American gunboats.
At noon, less than half of the people stuck to Song Gu Feng's Sanlian.
After Dai Ruyi, the company commander, and Yang Shaocheng, the instructor, burned all the documents and notebooks, together with the soldiers who can fight, they recalled the titles that this company won in the history of war: model fighting company, three good companies, and heroic companies crossing the Yangtze River ... Finally, their determination is: where is the most dangerous, people from our company will appear.
Just as Gu Feng, Longyuanli and Sanshuli's positions were in full swing, Peng's phone call reached the command post of the First Division and the Third Division. He asked Yu Jingshan, the political commissar of the division, "The enemy has all retreated and swarmed in your direction. Are you stuck? "
Yu Jingshan replied: "We can hold it!"
The sniper in Long Yuan is another company, which belongs to the 337th Regiment of the 38th Army-13 Division. In addition to the troops of the Second Division of the US Army, there are the 25th Division of the US Army and the 27th Brigade of the British Army. China soldiers of the Third Company, leaning against the hard rock terrain on the ground, ate cakes baked with captured butter and flour and vowed not to take a step back. In order to get through this road, when the fighting was the fiercest, the US military dispatched hundreds of planes, and the whole position in Longyuanli was shaken. Tank guns, howitzers, mortars and aerial bombs "plowed" hard rocks on the ground several times. American soldiers, who are superstitious about their firepower, will naturally have a "religious sentiment" when they fear the survival ability of China people under such bombing. When he heard that the enemy of Northern Aid had occupied a row of frontier positions, Zhang Youxi, the company commander of Sanlian Company, immediately attacked the enemy with ten soldiers and pressed the enemy back with bayonets. The American army, which has been defeated in many wars, has come up with such a way: let its soldiers surrender in disguise. A group of American soldiers sat in a car and raised a white flag to show their surrender. So China soldiers sent people down to accept the surrender. As a result, when China soldiers approached, the American soldiers in the car suddenly opened fire, and then the car began to run away quickly. What the American soldiers didn't know was that what they did just made the soldiers in China establish the belief of unity. Once this passion in China's personality is aroused, they will become more fierce and tenacious.
The position of the Third Company has always been sandwiched between the north and the south of the US military, and the US military fleeing south and the US military reinforcing the north sometimes almost "join hands". After the war, the officers of the second division of the United States recalled: "We even saw the white stars on the reinforced Turkish tanks." However, when there were few officers and men left in the third company and ammunition was exhausted, the American troops on the north and south sides never met.
Long Yuan's "door" is always closed.
In the afternoon 13, the American troops who attacked SongGu Feng began their fifth charge.
With the encirclement of China's army getting tighter and tighter, the fate of the American army has reached the last moment. The number of American troops who took part in the raid on SongGu Feng increased to thousands, and the American troops dispatched planes, tanks and artillery to bombard the hills beside this road for 40 minutes. The soldiers of the third company squatted in the crater where there was no fortification to hide, and then suddenly rushed out to shoot at the climbing American troops.
With the American troops being repulsed again and again, more and more American troops are engaged in the charge, and there are fewer and fewer three company personnel who can fight in the position of SongGu Feng. When the platoon leader died, the squad leader took the initiative to act as an agent. When the squad leader died, the soldiers took the initiative to take over, and the cooks and communicators also took part in the battle. Instructor Yang Shaocheng's bullet is gone. He charged at the enemy with a bayonet. When several times his American soldiers surrounded him, he rang the last Grenade left on his body and shouted, "comrades, stand firm!" " Then hug the enemy when the Grenade explodes. China soldiers saw their instructor die like this. They cried in tears: "Go! Hit them! " The soldiers rushed to the dark American army that had occupied the position.
This is the last moment of Sanlian, and it is also a memorable moment for those Americans who witnessed the Battle of SongGu Feng. Without bullets, China soldiers rushed head-on with grenades strapped to their waists and bayonets against the cold light. When the bayonet was broken, they hugged the enemy and beat them with their fists and teeth. They didn't pull the Grenade until they thought it was over. Zhang Xuerong, a member of * * *, rushed at the enemy. He was badly injured and didn't have the strength to pick up the bayonet. He climbed into the middle of the American army and rang four grenades picked up by his dead comrades. A China soldier named Xing Yutang was hit by a US napalm bomb and caught fire. He rushed at the American army with a roaring flame, and the American army could only see a bayonet with a bloody tip in the fire. American soldiers were stiff with fear in front of this "burning man". Xing Yutang stabbed several enemies in succession. At the last moment of his life, he hugged an American soldier tightly, bit the American soldier's ear, and clamped the enemy's body with his arms like iron tongs until both of them were burnt to coke.
The fifth charge of the American army finally failed. There are only seven living China soldiers left in the position of SongGu Feng Third Company.
Gu Feng position is still in the hands of China soldiers.
At the end of the Battle of SongGu Feng, Wei Wei, a writer who came to Korea from China, and Yang Dayi, a teacher of the First and Second Division, took up the post of Sanlian. On the ground, among the bodies of hundreds of American soldiers and a broken gun, they saw the bloody posture of the China soldiers before they died. The grenades in their hands are covered with the brains of American soldiers, and their mouths still contain half the ears of American soldiers. The body of the soldier named Xing Yutang is still smoking, and his fingers have been inserted into the flesh of the American soldier under him. Writer Wei Wei wrote the famous newsletter "Who is the cutest person? .
On this day at dusk, Fan Tianen's 335th regiment turned to attack, and the whole regiment attacked.
At the same time, China's army, which was surrounded by American troops on all sides, also began its final attack.
At dusk, at the corner of the Army, Li Fengming and Longyuanli, the besieged American army was cut into small pieces and pursued by China soldiers who were pressed from all sides. American planes trying to rescue American soldiers flew very low. American soldiers who fled for their lives shook white towels in the sky, but China soldiers also shook white towels like them. American pilots could only report to the base camp in a state of being at a loss: "It's over, they're over-"
Night arrival.
The night on the Korean battlefield is the grave of the American army.
Jiang Yonghui, deputy commander of the 38th Army, boarded the top of the command post. What he saw will still make any battle-hardened commander feel thrilling:
"... I stood on a high place and looked south. Leng Yue's cold star shone on the battlefield, thunder tore the sky, and" rumble, rumble "continued. On the tens of kilometers long front, a string of tracer, flare and signal bombs danced in the air, and the screaming sound of shells and the muffled sound of grenades, bursting discs and explosive charges echoed in the canyon. The fierce fighting between the enemy and ourselves along the highway is a magnificent and magnificent scene that I have never seen in my decades of military career. Cannons, tanks, armored vehicles and cars of all sizes abandoned by the enemy are endless, and military materials such as documents, papers, photos, shells, American military flags and puppet "Bagua flags" are scattered everywhere ... "
This night is also the most tense night of the Volunteer Command. Peng wore a coat and kept drafting telegrams all night. He didn't smoke at all, so he began to ask the staff for cigarettes. He hasn't slept for six days and nights. His face is emaciated, his eyes are bruised and his lips are chapped. But when the news of victory came from the front, he was so excited that he personally drafted a commendation telegram:
"... Liang and Liu told all the comrades in the 38th Army that this campaign overcame the excessive worries of some comrades in the last campaign and brought into play the excellent fighting style of the 38th Army. In particular, the 13 division moved quickly, and the enemy first occupied the 3 rd division and Longyuanli, preventing the south from fleeing to the north to help.
Enemy planes and tanks bombed all day, repeatedly broke through and finally failed. By yesterday (30th), there were nearly a thousand tanks and cars, and there were still many besieged enemies. Hope to overcome difficulties, summon up courage, continue to wipe out the besieged city, and pay attention to blocking the enemy's aid to the north. I hereby commend you and wish you continued victory! Long live Chinese people's Volunteer Army! Long live the 38th Army! "
In Chinese vocabulary, the word "Long live" has its special meaning and cannot be used casually. It is a special vocabulary that only the supreme people and things can use.
There was no army in the history of China War before, and there is still no army that can be called "Long live". After the award telegram was drafted, even several deputy commanders raised objections to the title of "Long live". There are many compliments in Chinese. Can you change it? But Peng insisted on "Long live".
It is said that Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army, who was scolded by Peng in the first battle, shed tears when he received a telegram from Peng at the front.
When the telegram from the headquarters of the Volunteers was sent out, the soldiers of the 38th Army were cleaning up the captured American military supplies on the highway. According to Jiang Yonghui, the deputy commander, at that time, a China soldier was fiddling with an American radio, and a song on the radio stunned all the China soldiers present.
The announcer on the radio said in Chinese, "This is China National Radio, and now it is National Anthem of the People's Republic of China."
Soldiers of the 38 th Army have lived and died together since they went abroad, with mottled fireworks and rags. They stood motionless on the smoky road around the radio-"get up, people who don't want to be slaves!"
Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!
When the Chinese nation reached the most dangerous time, everyone was forced to make a final roar!
Get up! Get up! Get up!
We are United as one, braving the enemy's gunfire and going forward bravely!
Braving the enemy's gunfire, move forward! Forward! !
Forward, forward. ! ! "
