At 12:00 p.m. on November 27, 1950, Zhan Danan, deputy commander of the 27th Army and commander of the 80th Division, commanded four regiments of troops to attack the Polar Bear Regiment in Xinxingli. Before the war, in order to strengthen the strength of the Polar Bear Regiment, the commander of the US 7th Division specially assigned a battalion of the 32nd Regiment, the 57th Battalion of the Division's Field Artillery, a heavy mortar company, and an anti-aircraft machine gun company to the regiment. As a result, the total strength of the Polar Bear Regiment reached 3288 people.
The 239th Regiment of the 80th Division took the lead in firing the first shot of the Battle of Xinxingli, and their task was to solve three high ground and 7 independent houses in the forward positions of the American army, and then cooperate with the main attacking 238 Regiment to eliminate the enemy in depth. After the battle began, the attack of the 239th Regiment was very orderly. They first destroyed the American outpost guard units, and then the three battalions split into three different directions, and intercepted the enemy with the tactic of breaking through the two wings in the middle.
The second battalion, led by instructor Zhang Guijin, attacked the 1221 heights, and due to the thorough pre-war reconnaissance, the company commanders and instructors had already assigned the task to each platoon, and the platoon commander refined the attack target to each squad. Therefore, after the battle began, the attack of the second battalion was very efficient, and a shock wave knocked down the enemy in the front, and many American troops were taken prisoner in duck down sleeping bags. The surviving enemies turned and ran backwards, while those who had no time to escape climbed under the car and pretended to be dead, and the warriors could not kick them with their feet.
Due to the tense fighting, there was no time to screen the American soldiers who had been killed one by one, and the soldiers of the second battalion took advantage of the confusion of the enemy army to break deep. During the capture of the second detached house, a tall American soldier suddenly emerged from the darkness and threw Song Baobao, the squad leader of the 4th Company who was charging, to the ground. Song Baozang was only 19 years old at the time, and his height and strength were inferior to his opponents, but he had no fear, and a sweeping leg tripped the enemy, and then rode on the American army, and his hands used enough strength to pinch the enemy's neck.
The tripping Americans fought with great strength and turned over again, and the two sides fought to the death in the snow. Soon after, a small soldier of the first squad followed, saw that the squad leader was fighting the enemy in hand-to-hand combat, and saw the opportunity to hit the enemy's head with a gun butt, and immediately knocked the American troop unconscious. Song Baozang, who had then turned over, calmed his breath and led the fighters to the enemy command post set up in the house. Unexpectedly, an American soldier hiding under the car and pretending to be dead took the opportunity to shoot in the back, and Song Baozang was unfortunately shot and killed.
The soldiers of the first squad were so angry that they lay down in the snow and fired under the car, turning the American soldier who was sneaking up from behind into a honeycomb. At the same time, the first and third battalions of the 239th Regiment rushed to the enemy's core position without stopping after capturing the 1455 and 1250 heights respectively. The 239th Regiment with assists played so well, and the 238th Regiment, which was the main attack, did not idle, tearing a hole in the front of the enemy's defense. Song Xiesheng, deputy company commander of the 7th Company of the Third Battalion, personally rushed forward with two platoons.
In order to defend the core position, the enemy also desperately organized troops to launch a counter-charge against the 239th Regiment under the cover of strong firepower, and the two sides repeatedly tugged at the front of the position. During the fierce battle, Song Xiesheng was shot in the left leg, and the hygienist rushed over and hurriedly bandaged him. At this time, the guard company of the regiment headquarters rushed up from behind, and after explaining the enemy situation to the commander of the guard company in person, Song Xiesheng specially instructed him: "We must let the soldiers pay attention to the enemy who is hiding under the car and pretending to be dead, and we must give them a shot, so as to avoid future troubles!" ”
Although the attack that night achieved many results, due to the lack of heavy weapons, it failed to break through the enemy's core position. In the following days, Zhan Danan constantly adjusted his troops and combat deployment, and launched another onslaught on the enemy on the night of the 30th. After a night of bitter fighting, it finally broke through the enemy's core position, the Polar Bear Regiment collapsed completely, the two regimental commanders were killed by our army, and the regimental flag was also captured. This was also the only regimental combat team of our army that completely annihilated the enemy during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. In 2020, General Zhan Danan, who personally commanded the battle of Xinxingli, died of illness at the age of 106.
