The representative of the US military hurriedly took Zhou Wu's original words to report to Colonel Robles, Robles heard it, he lost his temper at that time, and felt that Zhou Wu was still the same as a few years ago, still the same character, and it had not changed at all, it seemed that if he wanted to run out of his hands this time, it was estimated that it was impossible, and his side had reached the point of exhaustion and had nothing to do, and the British brigade and Turkish brigade that came to reinforce him had been completely annihilated, and the large army of the 1st Marine Division was dragged to the death by the rest of the volunteer army in the area of Changjin Lake, The two regiments brought by the two regiments have only less than one battalion left, almost all the heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles have been destroyed, and there are few trucks left, run away, with the current situation of himself and his American soldiers who are used to sitting in trucks, they will definitely not be able to outrun Zhou Wu and them, this point, Robles knows each other very well, he has been in the base of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei for a while, and knows that the two legs of the Chinese army from the New Fourth Army are powerful.
There was no way, Colonel Robles had to gather all the American officers who were not dead under him and asked them: "Now the situation is already like this, the British and Turkish troops who rushed to reinforce us have been completely annihilated by the Chinese, our General Smith They are also dragged by the Chinese on this side of Changjin Lake, we have no way to escape now, you tell me, what should we do now" The American officers under Colonel Robles looked at Colonel Robles without saying a word, and Robles hurriedly said: "You guys watch me do what to do in battle or surrender."
"Sir, we've done our best, we've sacrificed enough, we're left with these brothers, worthy of those old men in Washington, now it's up to you, sir, to make the decision, just let the remaining brothers go home," said the American officers under Colonel Robles.
Colonel Robles originally wanted to support him for a while, after all, surrender is not such a glorious thing, if he surrenders, his military career in this life will be over, can he wait and wait, he never thought that his officers were more anxious than him, and they had already scolded those old men in Washington, which couldn't help but Colonel Robles thought twice.
Colonel Robles thought about it and felt that there was no other way, and the time for Zhou Wu's final reply to him was almost up, and it was time to make a decision.
Robles told his officers to tell Zhou Wu that he was willing to lay down his arms, but that Zhou Wu should give him a decent way to surrender, otherwise he and his soldiers would fight to the death.
Zhou Wu listened, don't you Robles want to be decent, okay, as long as you can lay down your arms and surrender, then I will give you decency, after some deliberation and negotiation, Colonel Robles led the remaining four or five hundred American officers and soldiers to hand over their weapons to Zhou Wu, when Colonel Robles handed Zhou Wu his own matching gun, Zhou Wu looked at it, but returned it to Robles, held his hand and said to him: "Old Luo, now we are friends again, don't worry, stay with me with peace of mind, and wait until this battlefield is over, You'll be going home right away."
Colonel Robles was very ashamed, but he didn't feel ashamed, thinking that he was not ashamed to lose in the hands of Zhou Wu, in the days when he stayed in the Jiangbei base area before, he vaguely felt that Zhou Wu was very powerful, and now in North Korea, a place called Xinxingli, he finally confirmed that his skills were inferior to others and he deserved to be arrested.
When the news of Colonel Robles' surrender to Zhou Wu in Xinxing reached the ears of General Smith of the 1st Marine Division, General Smith was not furious, because at this moment he and his troops were also surrounded by a large number of troops from the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army in the area of Changjin Lake, what made him incredibly frightened was that no matter how many methods his American troops used, they could not stop the volunteer soldiers who rushed to the American position, those wearing thin autumn clothes, The Chinese, who were frozen like logs in the primeval forests of Canada, did not care about the fierce fire on the American position, the people in front fell, and the back continued to rush towards the position, and finally beat those American soldiers in fear, and the psychological defense line completely collapsed, thinking that their opponent was not an ordinary person, but a group of invincible steel soldiers, although the weapons and equipment were much behind, but the stubborn will to fight, flexible tactics, so that General Smith had to make the decision to immediately withdraw to the south, We can't continue to die with these Chinese troops here at Changjin Lake, and we must withdraw to Wonsan Port, otherwise the 1st Marine Division, the ace unit in the history of the US army, will be completely wiped out by the Chinese in the ice and snow here After receiving the threat of the 1st Marine Division being completely annihilated by the 9th Corps of the Chinese People's Volunteers, General Walker of the US Eighth Army hurriedly mobilized all the US naval aviation units on the east and west coasts of Korea, as well as the surrounding joint forces, to reinforce the 1st Marine Division in the direction of Changjin Lake Chinese A large number of US planes rushed to bomb around Changjin Lake, and the bombing was dark and full of smoke, and while the volunteer troops were busy coping with the air raids and bombing, General Smith's 1st Marine Division withdrew to Wonsan Port through Hajie-ri, 20 miles near Sinxing-ri.
Under the joint attack of a large number of US troops, joint teams, and countless US planes in the sky, the volunteer soldiers of a regiment of the Ninth Corps defending Xiajieli actually fought all the soldiers, including the regiment commander, and all of them died on the position, and the 1st Marine Division of the US Army also lost more than 1,000 troops, and half of the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed in front of the position, and finally conquered Xiajieli and climbed to the main peak of the position.
On the main peak of the position, General Smith looked at the volunteer soldiers lying on the ground, and felt a tremble in his heart: what kind of spiritual force is this, it actually hit the last person, although his 1st Marine Division captured this position with the help of the Air Force and other combined teams, but to be honest, if there was no help from planes and reinforcements, he would definitely not be able to rush through the position here, General Smith immediately ordered his subordinates to bury these Chinese soldiers who would rather die and fight to the end, although they are their own enemies, But such an enemy is worthy of admiration and respect When Commander Song of the Ninth Corps learned the news that Hajieli had been conquered by the American army, he immediately telegraphed Zhou Wu to Xinxingli, asking him to rush to Dongyu-ri, north of Wonsan Port, at all costs, to intercept the 1st Marine Division, the ace of the US army, which had fled south, and never let them escape to Wonsan Port At this moment, Zhou Wu and they have just finished cleaning up Colonel Robles, and the team is very tired, especially the fat man who served as the main attacker, their division, the battle loss rate has reached sixty percent, and most of the wounded soldiers are caused by the severe cold here, the wounded can not be treated in time, some of them died in the middle of the way to the rear, Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng They are similar, almost half of the remaining troops can fight again, Zhou Wu's men have less than two divisions of troops left, Now that they have received a request from the Corps Headquarters to rush to the area of Dongyuli, 80 kilometers away, to block the large force of the 1st Marine Division of the US Army, the difficulties can be imagined.
But since the corps headquarters wanted them to block the way for the US troops to flee south at all costs, Zhou Wu had no room for hesitation now, and he immediately combined the remaining men and horses of Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng into a division, which was commanded by Ge Sanmin, and the 35th division of the division commander Tian was temporarily under the command of the fat man, and the other teams were combined into a support force and directly under his own command, so that Zhou Wu had two divisions and a reserve, He ordered Ge Sanmin and Fat Man to march quickly from the left and right flanks to the Dongyuli area, which was 80 kilometers away, and Zhang Ercheng's artillery regiment and other baggage troops followed closely, and his own military headquarters rushed to the Dongyuli area in an inverted triangle formation at the end The northwest wind is still howling, blowing on the brothers who are only wearing thin autumn clothes, like a knife is blowing, the mountain road is rugged and difficult, and the climate is so harsh and cold, many soldiers with slightly worse physique are walking, and they are planted in the snow and can't get up, the brothers next to them have to bury them on the spot, and they don't have time to insert a piece of something as a mark, so they have to continue to march to the front, and the living brothers can only hide the sadness of the sacrifice of their comrades in their hearts, they know that they can only rush to the east corner area as soon as possible, Blocking the 1st Marine Division, the ace of the US army, who fled south, is the best consolation for these comrades-in-arms who died halfway through.
Colonel Robles reminded Zhou Wu when he was sent to the rear: "The 1st Marine Division is the trump card of the US army, it has experienced the baptism of the second war, and has dealt with the Germans and Japanese, and its combat effectiveness is not weak, of course, the combat effectiveness of your volunteers is not bad, but I see that you are still wearing thin autumn clothes in such cold weather, and I feel that your logistics are estimated to be unable to keep up with such a fast pace of combat.
This is something you should pay attention to in the future contest against the US military, and now that your situation is very good, of course you will not feel it, but once you meet a US general with unique vision, it will definitely be a big problem. ” Zhou Wu attaches great importance to Colonel Robles's suggestion, and feels that he did mention the key point, these days, Zhou Wu himself also feels that something is wrong with the team, the severe cold weather has caused a large number of soldiers to freeze to death and frostbite, and many combat forces have been lost in vain, and the supply of ammunition and materials is often interrupted, resulting in sometimes watching a large number of enemies flee south, and can not be effectively intercepted, Zhou Wu patted Robles on the shoulder and said: "Old Luo, thank you for the reminder, I hope this battlefield can end as soon as possible, and you can go home as soon as possible" t1706231537:
