How did the China Volunteers annihilate American troops in emerging countries?

1950165438+1on the night of October 27th, after the battle of the Eastern Front started, under the unified command of Zhan Danan, deputy commander of the 27th Army, the volunteers concentrated four regiments of the 80th Division, 8 1 242nd Division, and sent troops to the emerging 7th Infantry Division of the US Army.

The 3rd 1 Regiment of the 7th Infantry Division of the US Army consists of three infantry battalions and1tank company. It was founded during the First World War, and was nicknamed the Polar Bear Corps because it participated in the war against the Soviet Union from 19 18 to 1920. The flag of this regiment has a pattern of polar bears. During the Second World War, the Seventh Division of the United States participated in the battles of Aleutian Islands, Marshall Islands and Okinawa in the Pacific battlefield, which was a team with strong combat effectiveness in the military.

Li Xinxing is located in the east of Changjin Lake, where Liufeng River meets the south bank of Changjin Lake. The terrain of the village is high in the south and low in the north, and it is long and narrow from east to west. The north of the village is flat, with an abandoned narrow-gauge railway and an expressway, which is convenient for mechanized troops to move. The west of the village faces the lake, and the terrain is narrow, which is not convenient for large troops to expand. The main peak in the south of the village, 122 1 highland and 1239 highland are three peaks.

At midnight, in the loud sound of the bugle, the volunteers launched an attack on all fronts. The officers and men of the polar bear regiment who woke up like a dream immediately organized a counterattack.

The us military has strong combat effectiveness. Zhuang Yuandong, the instructor of the Fourth Company of the Second Battalion of the Volunteers who rushed to the front, and several soldiers fell under the fierce fire of the US military. Li, the company commander, quickly changed his tactics and commanded the troops to move forward in a hidden manner.

Class 5 and Class 6 successively destroyed American troops in several houses. Three of the houses have telephones and radios, and the walls are covered with battle maps. It turned out that Class Five and Class Six destroyed the headquarters of the 3rd1Regiment of the US Army.

Then, Class 5 and Class 6 continued to move westward, and raided the position of the 57th Artillery Battalion of the US Army on the eve of dawn on the 28th, cleanly solved the artillery that was still sleeping, and seized the 12 105mm howitzer.

This action is of great significance to future battles. It destroyed the regimental headquarters, dealt a great blow to the command system of the US military, and attacked the position of the 57th artillery battalion, which made the 105mm howitzer of the battalion no longer play a role in the future battles of the US military, which not only greatly reduced the casualties of attack force, a volunteer army, but also greatly shortened the battle process.

Just as Class Five and Class Six succeeded in succession, Class Seven and Class Nine also seized the houses beside the highway bridge and took control of the bridgehead position. At this point, the fourth company successfully completed the task of going deep into the enemy.

After dawn, the American troops fought back on three sides, and the company was in a very dangerous situation. So, they asked the battalion commander to quit Xinxing. Unfortunately, due to insufficient troops, the captured howitzers and a large number of materials were not brought out.

The task of the 3rd Battalion of the 240th Regiment is to capture the Inner Cave, which is the commanding height in the northwest of Li Xinxing and overlooks the whole of Li Xinxing, and is an important part of the U.S. Army's circular defense circle in Li Xinxing.

After the fighting started, the 3rd Battalion successively captured four highlands, which were suppressed by American fire at 13 15 and 12 16 highlands, making it difficult to develop.

The colonel immediately threw himself into the battle of a battalion, which broke the deadlock and occupied three highlands at 4 am. By the early morning of 28th, the 240th Regiment had occupied several highlands in the northeast, north and northwest of Xin Li.

The 242nd Regiment bypassed Li Xinxing and unexpectedly appeared on the south highway of Li Xinxing. The 1st Battalion and 3rd Battalion successively captured the peak and 122 1 highland on both sides of the road, completely cutting off the road in Brownlee, Zhixia, Li Xinxing.

In this night's battle, an outstanding fighting hero Kong Qingsan emerged from the volunteers.

Kong Qingsan is the squad leader of Class 5 of the Artillery Regiment of the 80th Division. In the battle that night, Kong Qingsan's artillery squad belonged to the 3rd Battalion of the 238th Regiment, attacking Li Xinxing dogs.

In order to destroy the ammunition point of the American army in an independent house, Kong Qingsan commanded the gun squad to push the 92 nd infantry gun forward and fire at close range. Because it was too cold to set up a launching position quickly, he had to use the terrain to hoe the gun base on a big earthen bag.

At this time, the fighting situation is very urgent, and we can't hesitate for a moment. Kong Qingsan inserted the shovel into the portable ring of the right-hand hoe, pressed the shovel handle with his shoulder, made his body the base of the artillery, and then loudly ordered the gunner to fire.

After a loud noise, the gun position was destroyed, and Kong Qingsan died on the spot because of the huge recoil impact.

As the monitor of the artillery class, Kong Qingsan is very aware of the power of artillery recoil and the result of doing so, but in order to win the battle, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life. After the war, he was posthumously awarded the title of first-class hero of the Volunteers.

After a night of fierce fighting, the 238th Regiment captured the first-line highlands north and east of Li Xinxing, and the 239th Regiment captured 1455 and 1 100 highlands, and once invaded Xingcun, Xin Li. The 240 regiment captured the highlands in the northeast, north China and northwest of Inner East Branch; The 242nd Regiment captured 122 1 highland, Gao Feng and Xindaili, south of Li Xinxing, and completed the encirclement of the U.S. military in Xin Li's Xinghe Neidongzhi area.

Due to various difficulties in preparation and supply before the war, the Ninth Corps of the Volunteers fought against the American army in this harsh natural environment, and the troops consumed a lot of physical strength because of freezing and starvation. Therefore, although the division and encirclement of the American troops in the Changjin Lake area have been completed, the attack power is insufficient at several points surrounded. At this point, the ninth corps and the besieged American troops formed a stalemate.

After a night of fighting, the Ninth Army had a better understanding of the deployment of the besieged American troops. And it is judged that the US troops in Liutanli are the 2nd Battalion of the 5th Regiment, 2nd Battalion of the 7th Regiment and 2nd Battalion of the 1 1 Regiment; The American troops in Xinxing Village are the 3rd 1 regiment 1 reinforced battalion of the 7th Infantry Division, and the American troops in Lower Brown Point are the 1st 1 Marine Division Command, the 2nd 1 regiment, the 5th 1 battalion and1tank battalion. The total strength exceeds 654.38+10,000.

According to this judgment, Song adjusted the deployment and decided to annihilate the American troops in the emerging areas first, then attack the 7th Infantry Division led by David Barr, and then dispatch troops to annihilate the American troops in Liutanli and Shimonoseki one by one.

Starting from 28th, the attack focus of the 9th Corps shifted to Li Xinxing, where the 3rd1Regiment of the 7th Division of the United States is located.

When the fighting started in Xinxing Lane at dawn on the 28th, the highlands around Xinxing Lane were almost completely controlled by volunteers, and the US troops were compressed in a narrow area less than 2km in Fiona Fang.

In order to change the unfavorable situation of being surrounded by volunteers in a narrow area of less than 2 square kilometers, the US military relied on superior equipment to counterattack the 80th Division of the Volunteers.

On the morning of 28th, with the cooperation of several planes, the U.S. forces in Houpuli, with 12 tanks as the forerunner, launched several attacks on the volunteers in an attempt to clear the way for the new American forces.

In the face of the galloping American tanks, Ye Yongan, the vice squad leader of the 9 th Company of the 242 nd Regiment on the position, did not panic. He led the tank team to face the battle calmly.

When four American tanks entered the position of the 242nd regiment for about 40 meters, Ye Yongan led the soldiers Wen and Xiong Ziyuan to crawl forward quickly. About 20 meters away from the U.S. tank, Ye Yongan jumped up, pounced on a damaged jeep in front of the U.S. tank, and quickly ignited. The fire blocked the way of American tanks. Ye Yongan took the opportunity to destroy the first tank with a Grenade.

Then they rushed to the second tank.

When the American tank driver put his head out to peep at the road, Wen jumped on the tank and threw a Grenade at the top of the tank. Bang, the second American tank was paralyzed.

They rushed to the third tank again. Wen Tian Li threw grenades as he ran. Ye Yong 'an took advantage of the smoke of the explosion and rushed up to blow up the tank track with the explosive charge.

In this way, Ye Yong 'an's resourceful brave team-made great efforts to reimburse the four tanks of the US military, which made this counterattack force retreat to Houpu in a hurry and made great contributions to preventing the polar bear group from fleeing.

After the war, the 27th Army of the Volunteers awarded Ye Yongan the title of anti-tank hero, and gave Ye Yongan a collective first-class merit.

On 28th, at 1 1: 30, almond, commander of the US Army No.1 10, arrived at the Marine Corps Division Headquarters in Lower Brown Point by helicopter for inspection. His original intention was to speed up the attack of the First Marine Division, but he was frustrated by Mr. Smith's insistence on canceling the attack plan. As an army general, almond had no complete control over the Marine Corps, so he had to bite the bullet and let Smith do it himself.

Armond, who was full of anger, then flew to Xinxing, where he met Colonel McClane, the head of the 3rd1regiment, and Lieutenant Colonel Faith, the battalion commander of the 3rd1regiment.

Almond sneered at the report of the frontline commanders of the two armies on the 27th night. Armond accused them of being terrified by the China army, saying that we should continue to attack and win the Yalu River, and don't let a few China volunteers stop you! His words angered all the officers and men present.

When he left, Armond handed out the three Silver Star medals he carried with him, but just before he left, the angry Lieutenant Colonel Faith threw the medals he had just got into the snow.

During the day on the 28th, the volunteers mainly responded to the counterattack of the US military and failed to launch an attack on the besieged emerging US military because they did not get enough logistical supplies.

Just after 0/8 o'clock that day/kloc-,as night fell, the 80th Division of the Volunteers began to attack with all its might. Before the attack, the 80 th Division did its best to concentrate all the artillery fire for a surprise attack, but the artillery fire lasted only five minutes because of lack of supplies and shells!

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the 238th and 239th regiments launched an attack on Li Xinxing. Although the two regiments have been fighting for a day and a night with few casualties, their morale is still high despite the fierce artillery fire of the US military.

The 238th regiment attacked from the southeast, and the 239th regiment attacked from the southwest. At midnight, some troops rushed into Xingcun, Xin Li, and started street fighting with American troops.

However, volunteers lack effective communication means and tools. Communication between divisions and regiments mainly depends on wired telephones, while communication below regiments mainly depends on manpower. In the rapidly changing battlefield of artillery fire, it is impossible to upload and issue in time and effectively, teachers can't grasp the progress of the troops in time, and they can't invest in the reserve team to expand the results at the most favorable time and place, forming a situation of fighting alone.

On the other hand, relying on fortifications, the US military gave full play to the firepower advantages of firearms such as tank guns, recoilless guns and multi-arms anti-aircraft machine guns, and temporarily blocked the attacks of the 238th and 239th regiments.

Under the cover of six 75mm mountain guns from the division's artillery battalion, the 240th regiment attacked the inner cave in the commanding heights outside Xingcheng, Xin Li. 1 Battalion 3 attacked the inner cave, while Battalion 2 intervened between Li Xinxing and the inner cave, occupied the highway bridge and cut off the connection between the two places.

After the fighting started, 1 Battalion quickly captured the commanding heights of 1249. Battalion 2 bravely broke into the highway bridge, destroyed the headquarters of the American battalion next to the highway bridge, controlled the bridge and the nearby highlands, and Battalion 3 also made a detour attack from the side of the highway.

Under the fierce attack of the volunteers, the defenders in Neidong had to give up their positions and flee hastily. Due to the underestimation of the 3rd Battalion, only one platoon was deployed on the highway, which was too weak to prevent the American troops from breaking through. As a result, more than 300 American troops were able to escape into Xinxing Village.

During the battle, Colonel McClane, the head of the US military, saw the activities of the troops on the south bank of the highway bridge, thinking that the 3 1 regiment and the 2 nd battalion had come to reinforce, and rushed to contact them excitedly. In fact, the volunteers have attacked here. As a result, he died of multiple gunshot wounds.

At dawn on the 29th, after two days of fighting by volunteers, more than 800 Americans were killed, but volunteers also suffered heavy losses.

After several days of hard fighting, the eightieth Division suffered serious casualties and was hungry and cold, so all regiments had to be merged and downsized to maintain their combat effectiveness. The 238th Regiment was reduced to 6 infantry companies, and the 239th Regiment was reduced to 3 infantry companies, 1 heavy machine gun company, 1 mortar company. The 240 th regiment was better than the above two regiments, so there was no attrition.

Until then, Zhan Danan learned from the prisoners that the defenders of Li Xinxing are four infantry battalions and 1 artillery battalions, instead of the 1 reinforcement battalion judged before the war, and the strength is more than three times the original estimate!

Zhan Danan saw that the troops suffered heavy casualties and made little progress, and the battle could not be solved before dawn, so he ordered the ministries to withdraw from the village and return to the positions outside the village to rectify the organizational system and prepare for another battle.

On the 29th, the 238th regiment belonging to the 2nd Battalion of the 240th regiment went straight to Li Xinxing Highway Bridge and Li Xinxing Dog along the ravine in the north. The head of the regiment was temporarily changed from the 3rd Battalion to the first attack, and the 3rd Battalion captured more than 50 families in Gouer Village by platoon.

After the first 1 battalion arrived, the dogs, who were in full swing through the fighting, dived into the highlands of 1 100 and 1200 in the north of Li Xinxing, and then rushed into Xingcun, Xin Li. The 2nd Battalion of the 240th Regiment quickly inserted into the depth of the US military position in Li Xinxing, seized the Li Xinxing Highway Bridge, and cooperated with the 3rd Battalion of the 238th Regiment to annihilate the US military dog, cutting off the connection between Li Xinxing and Inner East.

The 239th Regiment launched an attack from the north of Fengliuli by swimming water. After successively capturing 1455 and 1250 highlands, it rushed into Xinxing Lane from the south and southeast, and was responsible for cleaning up the US military post near 1 100 highlands with the interspersed 2nd Battalion and 4th Company, leaving two shifts to hold on/kloc.
