Before the meeting began, there was a lot of noise below, and the fat man's voice was the loudest, and he complained to Zhou Wu: "Commander, seeing that we are about to attack the Yankees' positions, why did we suddenly withdraw The Yankees' planes are powerful, but as long as we are entangled with them, the Yankees' planes will also take what we can't do, and those positions that have been captured will be given to the enemy, and how many brothers' lives will be paid at night to take them back."
Lao Xu heard the fat man complain, and hurriedly explained to him: "We don't have any advantage against the US army during the day, and we have to suffer from the indiscriminate bombing of US military planes in the sky, even if we hold those positions, we can't hold it for long, and we will be bombed in vain, increasing the casualties of the team, fighting a war is not a momentary ability, but how to better protect ourselves and destroy the enemy more, I can understand the mood of Division Commander Liu, but staying on the road during the day is simply looking for death, and it is not responsible for the lives of so many soldiers in the army."
Lao Xu said and spoke, his face was flushed, and he was excited, the fat man saw it, and hurriedly shut up, Lao Xu's chief of staff is also the chief he respects very much, he did go too far just now, and he didn't cover up his words, it really shouldn't be.
Lao Niu's political commissar saw that Lao Xu, who had a very good temper, turned red, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Division Commander Liu is a little anxious, but we understand the meaning, but considering our current actual situation, it is safer to withdraw, first, it can reduce the unnecessary casualties of the soldiers, and it can also allow the soldiers to rest, after fighting all night, the soldiers are also tired, although their fighting mood is very high, but they always have to rest."
Zhou Wu nodded hurriedly: "The political commissar is right, in the current situation, it is safer for us to withdraw, our opponent is one of the most powerful opponents on this earth, has fought World War II, dealt with the Germans and Japanese, plus our incomparable superior weapons and equipment and on-call air firepower, how can we fight this kind of war of attrition with them, Isn't that just falling into the trap of the enemy, we only have the soldiers' tenacious will to fight and flexible tactics to deal with these US troops armed to the teeth, and only by making full use of our strengths can we block this enemy fleeing south and complete the combat mission assigned by our superiors."
When the fat man heard that even Zhou Wu said this, he muttered in his mouth: "Blame me Lao Liu for being anxious, I listen to the military commander, what do you say next?"
Lao Xu proposed that during the day, the team was divided into two parts, one part of the team dug pits, in order to avoid being bombed indiscriminately by US bombers, digging anti-artillery holes, the Yankees' solidification was quite powerful, burning a large area, then digging a deep and long fire ditch, and the other part of the team seized the time to rest, four hours a shift, taking turns to work, so that it is estimated that by the time it gets dark, it should be possible to build a trench and anti-artillery hole for so many soldiers of our army to hide in a place more than ten miles wide in the front of Xinxingli, and the trench operation is carried out in stages.
Taking both sides of the highway as the periphery, slowly extending to the side of the highway, laying mines and setting up obstacles in the mountain passes, so that when it gets dark, we will be very close to the US position, and there will be no problem that Lao Liu said that we will launch an attack at a distance from the enemy's position, and at this time, our team will only be a few hundred meters away from the US position, and as long as we launch a sprint, we can rush into the enemy's position.
When the fat man heard this, he hurriedly pouted and said, "Oh, it turns out to be Tuxingsun's method, dig the trench under the nose of the Yankees, and then break through at night to attack them."
"Yes, we can only rely on the advantage of being more numerous, digging pits close to the US position, so as to reduce casualties and destroy the enemy" Finally, Zhou Wu came to a conclusion.
So, the fat man's troops and Zhou Wu's military battalion began to dig pits, the strength of the number of people is large, plus digging pits for Zhou Wu's brothers, no matter what kind of soil conditions, it is simply a piece of cake, from the Jiangbei Plain of the War of Resistance against Japan, to the land of Shandong in the early days of the liberation battlefield, and then to the Xu Beng area during the Huaihai Campaign, Zhou Wu's troops have dug a lot of pits, and now they are digging pits in the bitter cold land of Changjin Lake in the emerging mountains of Changjin Lake on the Korean battlefield, in addition to the hard soil, which is frozen hard, the fighters were still able to come up with simple and reliable ways to overcome it, most of the fighters came from the countryside, and digging pits was not a problem at all.
The movement of the volunteer soldiers taking turns digging holes on both sides of the road was soon learned by the American scouts, who hurriedly reported to Colonel Robles, who was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly decided to immediately begin the attack on the Xinxingli Pass, although his officers told him that the attack team had not yet been assembled and the preparations for the attack were not ready, so it seemed too hasty to start the attack like this Colonel Robles couldn't wait, he had seen how the predecessor of the Volunteer Army, Zhou Wu's New Fourth Army Independent Brigade, used digging pits to deal with small Japan in Huai'an, Jiangbei, China, and knew how powerful it was, and knew that the volunteers on the opposite side were going to use the pit to force themselves step by step with the tunnel, and finally wipe themselves out in one fell swoop, so he ignored the dissuasion of his officers, and decided to attack the Xinxingli Pass on the opposite side without preparation in advance, and only to break out of that mountain pass, Only then could he and his own troops withdraw to the port of Wonsan, otherwise they would only be wiped out by the Chinese army here or disarmed and surrendered "Don't argue, I have personally seen those Chinese use this method against the Japanese in Jiangbei, China, immediately prepare, with tanks and armored vehicles as the vanguard, guide the infantry to attack the Xinxingli Pass, our bombers can immediately arrive, prepare for battle, brothers" Robles still did not forget to mobilize before the war, hoping to arouse the morale of his officers, this time if you don't rush out, it's up to your officers and soldiers, rush out, then you can return to your hometown in the United States for Christmas, If you can't rush out, then you can only accept the extermination of the Chinese and surrender to them Soon, a group of more than a dozen US "B25" medium bombers flew over the Xinxingli Pass, and they bombarded the positions of the volunteers on the mountain pass with their heads and heads, and at this moment there were already two regiments of troops in the mountain pass and held on to it, and Regiment Commander Li commanded the battle in the mountain pass in a unified manner, and the anti-aircraft machine guns and several antiaircraft guns he had previously arranged here on the hillside had begun to shoot desperately at the US bombers in mid-air, and the bullets "swished" around the US bombers, and the shells "clanged" and exploded in mid-air.
The flying shrapnel hit the huge wing of the "B25" medium bomber, and suddenly a thick smoke rose up, and the "B25" wailed and hurriedly pulled up into the air, but at this moment another shell exploded on the side of the other wing, and the wing was blown up at that time, and the unbalanced "B25" was like a drunk man, swaying from side to side, the engine made a heavy wheezing sound, and the American bomber pilot tried to pull the nose high to avoid the bullets and shells fired from below.
But only a dull popping sound was heard, and the two engines of the bomber stopped, and now it was fine, and the loss of balance and power caused the bomber to quickly enter a stall spiral, like a spinning top, screaming and screaming headlong down the road below The following is the assembly place of the US military team, when they saw a bomber above their heads roaring down to their side, they all howled in horror and fled for their lives, but it was too late, the huge fuselage of the "B25" medium bomber rushed to the road, and the more than ten tons of aviation fuel on the fuselage and the bombs and shells in the cabin exploded quickly in an instant, and an orange light rose from the ground, followed by an earth-shattering huge explosion.
The five American pilots on the bomber and the dozens of American soldiers on the ground who had no time to dodge were instantly reduced to ashes, and the wreckage of the fuselage rolled down the hillside, still burning with blazing fire.
When Colonel Robles saw this, he hurriedly radioed the American pilots in the air, asking them to throw all the bombs and solidification they had brought on the volunteer positions on the other side of the mountain pass The U.S. bomber fleet began a new round of wanton and indiscriminate bombing of the mountain pass position, and one after another huge aerial bombs and solidification were thrown on the mountain pass, which caused a thick smoke around Xinxingli, and the explosions came and went, and the American bombers used carpet bombing to plow the Xinxingli mountain pass back and forth twice, until they finished throwing out the bombs and running out of machine gun shells, and then turned around and headed back, and on the mountain pass position, the hill that was originally more than 1,100 meters above sea level was completely cut off by the US bombs.
Fortunately, Regiment Commander Li and the others hid in the dug anti-artillery holes in advance, and those deep and long fire ditches blocked the spread of the solidified fire, but under the frantic bombing of the American bombers, some brothers were still buried under the mud and stones that were blown up.
Commander Li grabbed a handful of dirt casually, there were a few pieces of shrapnel in it, the soil was still hot and hot, and the solidified high temperature scorched the cold snow, melting all the snow here and roasting the soil here.
Colonel Robles, who was in the position of the mountain pass through the telescope, was in flames and smoke, covering almost the entire mountain pass, and said triumphantly to his officers: "It's time for us to go up, the Chinese troops there have become roast ducks" t1706231537:
