General Smith, who received the call for help from his officers, said that he didn't want to rush out of the east corner immediately, but the volunteer troops guarding the mountain pass on the opposite side were too tenacious, and his own team had no way at all, if they could rush out, who would be stupid to stay in this cold and place At this time, the American scouts in front came back and reported to General Smith: "There is a gap in the position of the Chinese in front, two kilometers wide. ” When General Smith heard this, his face was full of suspicion, thinking that this was another trick used by the cunning Chinese, and these days, he had suffered the hardships of these cunning Chinese, not only lost the two regiments under his command, but even his own large army was besieged by these Chinese in this small ravine only a few tens of kilometers away from Wonsan Port, so when he learned that a gap of two or three kilometers wide suddenly appeared in the front Dongyuli position, The first reaction in my mind was that this must be a trick by the Chinese on the other side, in order to lure us into falling for it But such a gap was placed there, and a large number of volunteer troops were pouring around, dividing and encircling and annihilating the small units of the American army that were lagging behind, and General Smith was a little unable to sit still, feeling that he should make a decision, otherwise he would have to be like Colonel Robles, captured alive by the Chinese as a prisoner, and the 1st Marine Division, the ace of the US Army under his command, was also wiped out and completely finished.
Since there is a chance to run out and wait there, then he has to hurry up now, regardless of whether there is an abyss or a minefield in front of him, go and drip first General Smith immediately ordered his troops to rush out to the gap on the opposite side, and the small forces behind and behind the flank, which had been surrounded by the Chinese, would not be able to control them so much, so it was better to keep most of the main forces first.
The team surrounded by those Chinese can only ask God for blessing and ask for more blessings.
General Smith was surprised to see that when he passed through that gap with the large force of the independent division, but did not encounter the stubborn resistance of the Chinese, he was pleasantly surprised, hurriedly took the remaining American army team to speed up, rushed out of the Dongyu-ri area, and finally ran into the South Korean troops who came to the rescue less than ten miles away from Wonsan Port.
The entire 1st Marine Division lost almost half of it, heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles were almost lost, heavy artillery and other weapons were all lost in the East Corner Lane area, and only some American infantry were left to rush out with him.
Escaped in embarrassment, frightened, this battle was really wretched.
When General Smith was annoyed and remorseful, Zhou Wu's team began the final onslaught on those small units of American troops that fell, under the attack of ten to one or even more numerical superiority, the last line of defense of the American army finally collapsed completely, they threw out their weapons in their hands in the position, raised their hands and surrendered to the volunteer soldiers who rushed over, the battle of Dongyuli finally came to an end, Zhou Wu's subordinates hurriedly cleaned up the battlefield, escorted the American prisoners, and waited for Zhou Wu to issue a new combat order, However, the physical strength of the soldiers of the team has reached the limit, and after continuous fighting and marching day and night, some soldiers with slightly weaker physique could not support it, and fell on the position, with no injuries on their bodies at all, but they just lost their breath and died in battle.
Zhou Wu's heart was also very conflicted at this time, just a little bit, he was about to annihilate the US ace Marine Division, but because the soldiers under his command were already exhausted to the extreme, if they continued to fight, it was estimated that there would be unpredictable serious consequences, for so many days, the heroic soldiers relied on snow water and fried noodles in the biting cold ice and snow with the US ace who was armed to the teeth, it was amazing, they had done their best, and they wanted something else Zhou Wu gritted his teeth and ordered, and the team stopped the pursuit and rested in the Dongyuli area for a period of time to replenish their vitality.
Zhou Wu on the side of Yuanshan Port wanted to attack, but he had no choice but to have this strength now, so he could only look at the American troops who were retreating towards Yuanshan Port in a hurry and sighed: "Hey, it's a pity, if I have an army at hand now, no, as long as there is a division of air fleet, I will never let these American troops run out, it's a pity."
Lao Niu and Lao Xu comforted Zhou Wu: "Lao Zhou, we have tried our best, the team has sacrificed a lot, some troops have already exhausted the entire formation, in such a harsh environment, it is already quite good to be able to play such a record, this time we can't annihilate the 1st Marine Division, maybe we will have a chance next time." ” Zhou Wu shook his head: "I'm afraid I'll have the next life next time, these American troops have run to the United States, is it possible that we can pursue the United States" Zhou Wu was very disappointed, he understood that this 1st Marine Division had suffered such heavy losses here in Changjin Lake, it was impossible to continue to stay in North Korea to fight, and it would definitely have to be withdrawn to the United States to recuperate, in this case, he would never be able to compete with this opponent again.
At this time, Zhou Wu suddenly felt a very lost mood in his heart, which was even heavier than after his defeat in the Battle of Kinmen Island, the battle of Kinmen Island, the fault was caused by blind optimism and arrogance of the enemy, but this time it was different in the East, just a little bit, he could completely annihilate this American ace, and when he got to the door, he found that his team's combat power had reached the limit and could no longer continue to attack, such a situation was a very cruel thing for Zhou Wu, blindly optimistic, What is caused by the light enemy can be quickly improved and can be corrected quickly, but the problem of logistics supply, the problem of troop equipment, and even the problem of rations for soldiers, and the most lethal problem of fighting in the ice and snow at minus thirty or forty degrees in thin autumn clothes is not a problem that can be solved immediately by the newly founded New China, Zhou Wu felt that he was not able to reduce the casualties of the troops, when he saw many young men in the night battle hospital in the rear had to amputate their thighs because of frostbite, I feel very uneasy and guilty, these young men still have a long way to go, and the loss of their legs means that the future life is extremely difficult, which cannot be replaced by other material compensation.
But with the current conditions, Zhou Wu can't think of any good way, and can only rely on the "crowd tactics" that some people scoff at to fight against the ace card of the US military armed to the teeth, because he knows that in addition to this trump card, there is no comparison at all in other aspects, unless he immediately retreats as soon as he encounters the US army, then what kind of war is he fighting, and what is he doing in North Korea, isn't it a shame In other directions of the Changjin Lake battlefield, the various units of the Ninth Corps ended their respective battles after paying a heavy price, and the Corps Headquarters sent a telegram to Zhou Wu, praising their 11th Army's stubborn fighting in the Dongyuli area, although it was not able to completely annihilate this American trump card, but it played a role in the morale and prestige of the volunteers, and severely damaged the American army, which deserves praise, and ordered the 11th Army to rest and recuperate in the Dongyuli area for a period of time, waiting for the arrival of a new combat order.
This time, Zhou Wu's 11th Army suffered a lot of losses, the original four divisions were full, there were two left, and the casualties reached more than half, including freezing to death and frostbite caused by the severe cold weather, accounting for 20 percent, the field hospital in the rear was already overcrowded, all kinds of first-aid medicines were exhausted, and the leaders of the health department directly found Zhou Wu and asked for support, otherwise the lives of so many wounded and sick would be in danger.
Zhou Wu hurriedly reported his situation to his superiors, and Commander Song said that he would solve the matter immediately, and he said to Zhou Wu on the phone: "Old Zhou, isn't your lover working in the General Hospital of the Nanjing Military Region, I think you can let her come here, so that you and your husband and wife can be together, and the three days of combat work and life are correct." ” Zhou Wu heard Commander Song's words, and was very grateful, he listened to and admired this new boss, at this time, he could still think of the difficulties of his subordinates, he really had the demeanor of a general, let Shen Lina come to North Korea with a medical team, it must be of great help to Zhou Wu's troops, this is exactly the problem that Zhou Wu thought about for a long time, but could not say, and now Commander Song helped him solve this problem, which made Zhou Wu feel very grateful.
Shen Lina, who was in Nanjing, immediately received an urgent order from her superiors to enter the war in Korea, so she immediately entrusted Xiao Dingdang, who was going to school, to the care of a trusted colleague, and she took the fat man's wife and a group of medical nurses from Nanjing to the northeast border by train to enter the war in Korea.
Thinking of seeing her husband soon, Shen Lina and Xiao Liu were very excited, they were thousands of miles away before, and they couldn't even communicate, and they didn't know what happened to their husbands in the icy and snowy North Korea, Shen Lina and Xiao Liu They could only secretly pray in their hearts, and now they can have the opportunity to rush to their husbands' side, how can they not let these ladies feel excited and happy, especially the fat man's wife Xiao Liu, who has been talking all the way, and when she crossed the Shanhaiguan Pass and entered the Northeast, she saw that she was about to see the fat man immediately, Xiao Liu actually started singing, and bursts of joyful laughter suddenly broke out in the stuffy tanker, echoing in the ice and snow in the northeast.
But after the train arrived in Anton, the situation changed, the bridge in front was bombed indiscriminately by US military planes, the train could not continue to move forward, and could only wait for the bridge to be repaired here in Anton. t1706231537:
