Originally, I thought that I would be able to see my husband and relatives immediately, but I never thought that the bridge and road were blown up by US planes, and I couldn't go for a while, Shen Lina and Xiao Liu were extremely disappointed, but they had no choice but to stay here in Anton, wait for the volunteer engineering unit in front to repair the bridge damaged by US planes, and continue to move forward to the Korean battlefield.
The Battle of Changjin Lake ended, the soldiers of the Ninth Corps used their flesh and blood to block the indiscriminate bombardment of the US steel planes, crippled the 1st Ace Marine Division, annihilated a brigade of the British Army and a brigade of the Turkish Army, and two divisions of the South Korean Army, and pushed the battle line from the Yalu River to the front line of Wonsan Port, although their own losses were also very heavy, and the non-combat attrition caused by freezing to death and frostbite reached 20% of the total number of troops, and there was a company in the latent position, except for a communication soldier who ran out to report the news, The rest of the officers and soldiers all froze to death on the lurking position, and when the brother troops behind discovered this team, they found that they still maintained a latent posture, but their bodies were already stiff, looking at these brothers who maintained combat alert until death, the volunteer soldiers behind were deeply shocked, and gently put down their remains, and buried them according to the highest military salute, they are the model and example of soldiers, only to be admired and learned by those who come after, it is the iron discipline that can create such an army, Even this bitter cold, which has not been encountered in a hundred years, could not make them bow their heads, so what else could stop this heroic team from advancing General Smith, who fled to Wonsan Port like a frightened bird, was not even willing to stay in Wonsan Harbor for a few more minutes, and hurriedly boarded the US warship with the remaining remnants of the US army, and under the escort of the aircraft carrier, the US fleet sailed south along the east coast of Korea, and the Wonsan Port behind him sounded a series of fierce explosions, which was the sound of the US troops blowing up all the ammunition, materials, food, and so on stored in the Wonsan Port before retreating, and suddenly, the entire Wonsan Port was filled with thick smoke and went straight to the sky.
Seeing that the volunteer soldiers who had caught up from behind stomped their feet and sighed, it was too late, if they could have arrived one step earlier, they might have been able to snatch back some ammunition and materials, but now they were all blown up and burned by the Yankees, what a pity.
General Smith looked at the smoky, burning Yuanshan Port behind him, his heart was mixed, very unpleasant, the 1st Marine Division was almost crippled by the Chinese volunteers in the Dongyuli area, he almost became a prisoner of the Chinese, before he looked down on those Chinese, thinking that they were just a group of armed peasants, where do you know what strategy and tactics, through this desperate battle on the edge of Changjin Lake, General Smith felt that he was all wrong before, those Chinese volunteers are not a group of armed peasants, It is a group of troops with extremely strict discipline and superb tactical literacy, except for the fact that their weapons and equipment are much worse than their own US troops, and the rest of the troops are much stronger than the US army.
When General Smith sighed and left Wonsan Port and ran south, Zhou Wu and the others also drove into Wonsan Port at the same time, and this important port on the east coast of North Korea returned to the hands of the Korean People's Army.
Zhou Wu and their 11th Army were stationed near Yuanshan Port on the spot, thanks to the victory of the Battle of Changjin Lake and the rapid advance of the brother troops on the Western Front, the logistics supply problem that had been plaguing Zhou Wu also took a turn for the better at this moment, ammunition and food, cotton, clothing, medicines, etc. were slowly transported, plus those things that the American army did not have time to blow up when they left, Zhou Wu and other volunteer teams were finally replenished here, and the soldiers were tired enough, and they could finally eat and drink here and sleep well.
The troops rested in Wonsan Port for two days, and on the morning of the third day, Zhou Wu received a notice from the corps headquarters, asking him to take his division commander and political commissar chief of staff to the headquarters for a meeting.
Zhou Wu and Lao Niu, Chief of Staff Elder Xu took the fat man, Ge Sanmin and they came to the corps headquarters near Yuanshan Port, and found that the heads and brains of the other brother troops were almost there, and Commander Song saw that Zhou Wu and them were coming, and hurriedly stood up and greeted them: "Comrade Zhou Wu, you are here, please sit down, the meeting will start immediately" The chief of staff of the Corps next to him immediately stood up and read out the latest order of the Volunteer Army Headquarters: "In view of the victories in the first two battles and the achievements made, the Volunteer Army has initially grasped the initiative in the campaign since entering the Korean War, and with the approval of the Central Committee, the Volunteer Army Headquarters has decided to immediately start the third campaign, and all units in the front line must carry forward the spirit of fearless revolutionary struggle, overcome all difficulties, be not afraid of sacrifice, continue to advance southward, recover Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, and drive the enemy back south of the 38th parallel."
Hearing that there was about to be a big battle again, the commanders of the Ninth Corps began to talk about it, this time the battle in the Changjin Lake area was too tragic, the casualties of the troops were very large, and some of the troops had no time to replenish at all, and now they had to go to the front line to fight, so it seemed a little too hasty Zhou Wu is also worried about this problem, as far as his eleventh army is concerned, in Xinxingli and Dongyuli, where the troops have lost more than half, where can they have time to replenish in two or three days, although some materials and ammunition have been sent, but once the war starts, the consumption of materials and ammunition is not comparable to that when resting now, in the current situation that this supplement is not in place, if you rashly launch a third campaign, is there a great risk Commander Song saw that Zhou Wu and the others had something to say, so he named and said, "Comrade Zhou Wu, if you have anything to say, just say it." ” Zhou Wu hurriedly stood up and said to the commander and the commanders of other fraternal units next to him: "Now that our ranks have not been replenished in place, the soldiers have not recovered from the fatigue of continuous combat, and the combat effectiveness of the troops has not yet recovered. ” Zhou Wu's meaning was immediately agreed by many brother troops, and the Song Command nodded and said: "What Comrade Zhou Wu said is reasonable, the Volunteer Army Command also understands the actual situation of these troops, but the current battlefield situation has changed, and the enemy has begun to flee to the south, if we don't seize the time and immediately launch the third campaign, then we will lose the opportunity to annihilate part of the enemy, resulting in passivity in the future battles, and the comrades' difficulties are known to the superiors.
And I am sure that our troops and soldiers will be able to overcome the difficulties in front of them. ” As soon as Zhou Wu heard the commander say this, there was no way, the commander also had to listen to the orders of the Volunteer Army Headquarters above, and the Volunteer Army Headquarters also had to listen to the central government, since the above already knew the actual difficulties in the troops below, then Zhou Wu and they had to carry out the order, eliminate the difficulties, and continue to advance and fight.
Then, the chief of staff of the corps announced the specific combat tasks of each unit of the Ninth Corps, and Zhou Wu's 11th Army advanced as a forward force along the port of Wonsan to the south, advancing to the 38th parallel through Kaesong After the meeting, Commander Song stayed with Zhou Wu and said to them: "Comrade Zhou Wu, if you have any difficulties, you can tell them, and the corps will find a way to solve them. ” As soon as Zhou Wu heard the commander speak, he hurriedly said: "It is still a matter of replenishment and supply of troops, there is a lot of travel to Kaecheng, and there must be enemy resistance on the way, and it is a large-scale and large-depth interspersed assault, and the logistics supply will definitely not be supplied, and this is not a domestic country, so you can obtain supplies on the spot, if you want to complete this campaign task, you can only rely on capture to barely maintain, but these captures are uncertain factors, and the supplementary supply of the team cannot be guaranteed." ” Commander Song nodded: "We know this, so let's do it, the corps specially dispatched a division to be responsible for the logistics supply of your eleventh army to ensure your supply, where you fight, this logistics unit will follow there, what do you think?"
When Zhou Wu heard this, he hurriedly saluted and said: "That's the best, we promise to complete this campaign mission, block the place to flee south, and hit near the 38th parallel." ” At this time, he received a telegram from the corps headquarters that in the Sansholi area, 80 kilometers to the southwest, a joint team was fleeing south, catching up to block their way to the south, and blocking it for more than three days, and cooperating with other volunteer troops to encircle and annihilate it in the Sansholi area.
Zhou Wu received this telegram, and immediately looked for this place called Sansholi on the map, this place is too small, Zhou Wu spent a long time and finally found this small place on the map, between the valley between Tokugawa and Ningyuan, there is a road from north to south just passing through Sansholi, and most of the American troops fleeing south are mainly trucks and tanks, blocking this Sansholi, which is equivalent to choking the retreat of the American army fleeing south, From the mouths of the Korean People's Army guides and guerrilla veterans Kim Lao Kwon who knew more about it, they learned that the road near Samshori had just turned a corner, and there were three mountains around it, and the altitude was not high, but the top was very smooth, which was very suitable for ambushing and blocking t1706231537:
