On November 27, 1950, Peng Dehuai, commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, ordered the 38th Army to attack in the direction of Yuanli and Junyuli, so that one of its units was interspersed with Sanshouli, cutting off the enemy's escape route and allowing the main force to concentrate on annihilating the main force of the enemy army.
Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army, summoned Yu Jinshan, political commissar of the 113th Division, Liu Haiqing, deputy division commander, and others, and said solemnly: "General Peng gave us the task of inserting into the three institutes, and now I entrust you with this task, limiting you to walk 140 miles in 14 hours, and inserting it into the three institutes in the morning of the 28th."
After Yu Jinshan and the others accepted the task, they immediately led the 113th Division to set off.
The main force of the 38th Army, according to the plan, advanced from the Price River to the direction of the courtyard and the military corner. The ensuing battle went smoothly, but it was puzzling that the 113th Division had left without a word.
Peng Dehuai asked Liang Xingchu, and Liang Xingchu asked the deputy Yang Jiang Yonghui, but no one knew where the 113th Division had gone.
Shiji, the military department, and the radio station of the front finger were all constantly calling: "Eagle, eagle, where are you?" Please answer, please answer! But there was silence on the radio.
Where did this 113th Division go? Cutting off the three houses, but the key action of the second battle!
Shiji's chief of staff, Xie Peiran, personally crouched in the communications room, and all radio stations opened for calls, but the "Eagle" was still missing.
Peng Dehuai smoked a cigarette in a hurry, choking and coughing, Deng Hua ran to the communication room for a while to inquire about the news, Hong Xuezhi was anxious to pull his hair, but the 113th Division still had no news.
Dawn had broken, and it was time to see that by 8 a.m. on November 28, this was the time when the 113th Division should be interspersed to its destination.
Suddenly, a voice came from the radio: "I am an eagle, I am an eagle." We have reached our intended goal, and without a single casualty, we have begun! ”
Cui Lun, the chief of the Operations Division, shouted excitedly in a pair of coordinates: "The 113th Division has been inserted into the three institutes, and it has been inserted into the three institutes." ”
Mr. Peng heard a shout of joy in the communication room, and was shocked, only to see Deng Hua fly over and was about to inquire, Deng Hua shouted: "The 113th Division has all been inserted into the three institutes, and the troops have been deployed!" ”
When Mr. Peng listened, he fell to the chair, raised his forehead with his hand, and sighed: "Ah, God, finally came out, finally inserted, inserted!" ”
How did the 113th Division get into the Three Institutes so quickly?
You know, their time is only 14 hours, and the distance is 140 miles, that is, they must walk at least 10 miles per hour, and they have to walk for 14 hours in a row to get to sansho.
Ordinary people can't walk so fast empty-handed, not to mention that the soldiers of the 113th Division are still carrying dozens of pounds of guns, ammunition and dry food, not to mention that they have been marching for a day and night, not to mention the bombing and strafing of planes heading from south to north.
On the way in, why can't the radio call them? It turns out that there are many stories in the middle.
The 113th Division was commissioned to fly into sansho on the evening of 27 November. By this time the troops had passed through the attack on Tokugawa, and the fighting in the roundabout courtyard was quite tired, and they had run continuously on the mountain road for a night before they had reached the enemy's rear, when the commanders and fighters were so tired that they lay on the ground and did not want to move.
Some people proposed to let the troops rest for a while and then go, but Yu Jinshan and Liu Haiqing resolutely disagreed and ordered the troops to advance at full speed.
By this time it was already dawn, the enemy planes had all flown out, and the troops were wearing camouflage made of branches and hiding from the planes as they walked, and they did not go out for several miles for an hour.
Yu Jinshan was in a hurry, and ordered the troops to throw away their disguises and turn to the avenue; ordered the radio to take off the transmitter and not to send the report to the outside world.
More than 10,000 horses from a division of the 113th Division sped south on the main road, with cadres helping the soldiers carry their guns, and infantry squads helping the machine gun squads carry machine guns.
Enemy planes spun around in the sky, ignoring this volunteer army. This is behind enemy lines, there is no enemy large troops, and a small number of US and ROK troops cannot see the signs of the troops clearly in the morning light, and they think that they are their own people who are on an urgent mission to the south.
In this way, the 113th Division ran for 14 hours, ran 140 miles, and arrived at Sansholi ahead of schedule.
At this time, Yu Jinshan asked the radio to turn on the machine to contact Shiji, and after he reported the news that the whole division had successfully inserted into the three institutes, he explained: "In order to keep secrets and prevent the enemy from measuring the direction from the radio, we had to turn off the radio and there was a radio silence." ”

After Mr. Peng received the report of the 113th Division, Xi Zizi said: "These clever ghosts have made the old man bai anxious!" ”
Then he said with admiration: "The 38th Army is indeed the main force, and it is worthy of its name." Immediately notify the 113rd Division! Fully affirm their initiative. ”
As soon as the commendation telegram was sent, the report of the 113th Division came: the troops had just begun to deploy in Sansho, and the 5th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Cavalry Division had arrived from the boundary river to the north to compete with the 113th Division for Sansholi.
The U.S. army's communications facilities were quite sensitive to smell, and as soon as the radio of the 113th Division was turned on, they immediately detected a large unit of the volunteer army in sansho.
The U.S. commander Walker urgently ordered the 5th Regiment of the 1st Cavalry Division to go south from the (price) river, and ordered a unit of the American troops at Shuncheon to go north, attack the 113th Division, and compete for sansholi, and the two sides immediately began a fierce battle.
After receiving the report of the 113th Division, Mr. Peng was deeply relieved, and he habitually looked at the map and suddenly shouted, "Not good!" ”
Deng Hua ran over nervously and asked what was wrong.
Peng Zong pointed to Longyuanli in the northwest of Sansoli and said, "There is also a road leading to Shunchuan here, so quickly order the 113th Division to send a regiment to seize Longyuanli and completely cut off the enemy's retreat." ”
Deng Hua was about to give the order when the telegram from the 113th Division arrived again, and they had already seized Longyuanli on the orders of the military department.
Peng Dehuai praised one after another: "A good 38th Army, a good 38th Army!" ”
At 4:00 a.m. on November 29, the 337th Regiment of the 113th Division occupied Longyuanli, the enemy's southward escape route was cut off, and the volunteer army had completed the encirclement.
In the end, the volunteer army annihilated a large number of the living forces of the "United Nations Army" and achieved a great victory in military history, and the American commander Walker also died on the way to escape.
