Colonel Lewis was diagnosed by the military doctor with a concussion and a perforated eardrum, plus two broken ribs, which required immediate surgery, otherwise the infection would be life-threatening.
General Garnett saw the frightened and distraught look in the eyes of these American officers and soldiers under Lewis, and felt very incredible, what kind of blow did Colonel Lewis suffer that made them so depressed General Garnett immediately found several officers under Colonel Lewis and asked them what they had encountered in the first three offices, and those officers had lingering fears, and after talking for a long time, they still couldn't tell what kind of weapon attack the Chinese had, but when that weapon came, within a few tens of meters of the explosion center, everything was blown away without a trace, and the powerful shock wave and air wave coupled with the huge explosion sound, the US officers and soldiers within the explosion range were all shattered, and the seven tricks bled to death, I don't know where the Chinese got this terrible weapon, and according to various indications, it is possible that the Soviet army entered the war General Garnett was stunned when he heard the reports of his officers: It is impossible for the Soviet troops to participate in the war, they want to come here, they must cross the border, why is there no news about the air force reconnaissance planes?
The old fox is the old fox after all, and he finally figured out from the incoherent accounts of these officers, this secret weapon that made Colonel Lewis lose their souls, turned out to have a very short range, almost launched under the eyes and nose of the American army, in order to be huge, but the accuracy does not seem to be very good, so it is easy to do, as long as the area opposite the position is blocked with long-range fire, you can prevent the Chinese from firing this high-power weapon at their own team again General Garnett immediately appointed an operational staff officer of the division headquarters to temporarily replace Colonel Lewis, who had been wounded and hospitalized, to command his men who had been scattered, and put them behind his main force to rest and recuperate, in view of the approaching dawn, Garnett decided that the other regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division would immediately advance in the direction of Sansho-ri, and the remaining regiment would concentrate on attacking the Longyuan-ri area near Sansho-ri.
When the attention of the Chinese on the opposite side was attracted to the past, and then suddenly attacked Longyuanli with the strength of another regiment, and the Chinese were caught off guard, as long as a breakthrough was made in the direction of Longyuanli, then the passage for this southward retreat was opened, and the Chinese on the Sansholi side only had two ways to go, either to be surrounded and annihilated, or to escape from the Sanshori position, and there was no other way to go Almost at the same time, Zhou Wu with the main force of the 11th Army was also stepping up the movement towards Sansholi, in order to be able to rush to Sansholi as soon as possible, Zhou Wu ordered all the baggage troops to stay behind, Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng's two divisions all advanced lightly, with weapons and ammunition and three days' dry food and necessary medicines, the rest were all thrown on the way, brought by the baggage troops behind, he gave Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng to rush to Sansholi before dawn in the early morning, the advance troops must arrive, otherwise they will delay the military aircraft Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng were desperate at this time, and hurriedly sent out a team of combat backbones to form an advance team to catch up lightly, all the things that could be collected with wheels were all put to use, and for a while, the crowd was full of voices, people shouted and neighed, the team quickly accelerated the speed of the rapid march, and hurriedly rushed towards Sansholi, after nearly a night of galloping, Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng The brothers of the two battalions of their advance team were about to rush to the Sansholi position.
At this moment, the scout brothers in front suddenly discovered that a group of unknown armed forces was rushing towards this side, and they immediately sent an alarm to the team behind, and the commander of the advance team immediately ordered the soldiers to hide on the spot and prepare to engage the enemy for battle Soon, the scout brothers came with the latest news, and the team encountered was a group of South Korean puppet troops, numbering about two regiments, all of them rushed to the direction of Samshori in trucks, presumably to reinforce the blocked US cavalry division on the other side of Samshori.
The brothers hurriedly asked the regiment commander: "I ran into the South Korean puppet army, regiment commander, what should we do to fight or not?"
This regiment commander is a fierce general under Ge Sanmin, surnamed Jiang, and he is also a veteran who has been following Ge Sanmin all the way from the Shanghai battlefield to fight devils, and when he heard that he suddenly encountered two regiments of South Korean puppet troops in front of him, he hurriedly unfolded the map, and looked for the current location on the map with a flashlight, and found that the destination Sanshori position here was only more than ten miles, and the enemy came by truck, with their marching speed, even in the dark night, the slowest could reach Sansholi in an hour, Although the combat effectiveness of the South Korean puppet army is not very good, but after all, it is the number of two regiments, thousands of men and horses, if this group of puppet troops is allowed to rush to the Sanshori position, it will definitely put pressure on the defense of Division Commander Liu, since they have encountered it now, then they must fight, even if they can't eliminate so many puppet troops, it is worth it to defeat them and grab a few trucks, so that we can take the captured trucks and rush to the Sanshori position as quickly as possible After making up his mind, Commander Jiang immediately ordered his brothers to hurry up and quickly occupy the high ground on the side of the road in front, intercept those puppet army convoys, and fight an encounter The Sharp Knife Company and the Ninth Company acted quickly, and under the guidance of the North Korean guides, they copied the mountain paths, climbed the cliffs, and ran and climbed the hillsides, and finally arrived at a junction in front of them after 20 minutes, and after a careful look on the road, they found no trace of a large number of convoys passing by, so they immediately set up an ambush on the high ground on both sides of the road, quickly dug a simple fortification, and waited for the South Korean troops to come The commander of the Sharp Knife Company Wei is a big man in Shandong, his temperament is very straightforward, he is very brave in battle, and he is deeply liked by the head of Jiang, every time there is a big action, the first thing to consider is this ninth company, the ninth company is also very competitive, almost every time he can complete the combat mission assigned by the commander of Jiang, and can achieve much better results than expected, so he was awarded the honorary title of "Sharp Knife Company", and was awarded the flag, which was quite a glorious thing at that time, but it was hard to find In fact, at this time, Lao Wei's Ninth Company was already in the middle of Sansho-ri and Longyuan-ri, both sides were the US army and the South Korean puppet army, and at this moment the two regiments of the puppet army they met were only ordered to assist General Garnett's cavalry division to attack the vanguard of Longyuan-ri together.
This has two advantages: First, it allows the South Korean army to explore and reconnoiter the way and block hostile attacks on their way forward.
The Americans think this way: We are here to help you in Korea this time, so it is natural for you to take the lead; second, you can take advantage of the fact that the south Korean army is engaged in a battle with the Chinese in front to find out the combat effectiveness and details of the Chinese, and prepare for the next step of fighting or fleeing Before Lao Wei could take a breath, the distance of the road below lit up with a firefly-like light, the light became brighter and brighter, and soon converged into a row of lights, Lao Wei hurriedly lay on the ground and listened carefully with his ears, stood up and patted the dirt on his hands, and said to several platoon commanders under him: "The enemy's convoy is coming, order the brothers to prepare for battle, listen to my orders and then fire" Soon, the convoy of the South Korean puppet army lined up in a long line and drove along the road, Lao Wei took a closer look, and found that the situation reported by the scout brothers was different from what he saw in front of him, these cars formed a long line that could not be seen, there were as many as 1,000 vehicles, and if each truck was loaded with 20 or 30 soldiers, there were more than 10,000 enemies coming, and where were the two regiments reported by the scouts just now, and which one regiment had 5,000 or 6,000 men and horses The enemy situation has changed, and he has only one company under his command, more than 100 people, and in order to be able to quickly get to Sansho-ri, he threw those baggage and heavy machine guns behind, and now even if he has a few 60 mortars at hand, he is considered a heavy weapon, and the rest are light machine guns and rifles, and it is estimated that it is enough to block more than 10,000 South Korean puppet army troops here Lao Wei felt that this situation should be reported to Commander Jiang immediately, but there was no radio at hand, so he could only send out two brothers with fast legs to report, and the two brothers were led by the North Korean guide, and went back over the mountains and mountains to report the latest enemy situation, and not long after they walked out, Lao Wei had already ordered the brothers on the position to open fire, and the guns on the high ground on both sides of the highway rang out, and the grenades were thrown towards the puppet army convoy below, and immediately blew up the two puppet army trucks that hit the head, The truck suddenly burst into flames, the puppet soldiers on the car were blown out, the corpses were lying on the road, the puppet soldiers who did not die screamed loudly, in the dark night it looked particularly gloomy, these puppet soldiers who encountered a sudden attack suddenly fell into a panic, the trucks behind them braked urgently, the puppet soldiers on the car hurriedly jumped out of the car, relying on the truck with the automatic rifles in their hands to the highlands on both sides of the highway to fight back, and the puppet artillery behind immediately set up cannons, Bombardment began on the high ground on both sides t1706231537:
