In the conference room of the Volunteer Command
Peng Dehuai
With an angry face, he shouted, "...
Did Liang Xingchu arrive?
Liang Xingchu stood up slowly, and then Peng Zong scolded him with a split head and covered his face: "Why did your 38th Army swallow slowly, I let you insert into Xichuan, why don't you insert it?" Lao Tzu asked you to fight Xi Chuan, and you said that Xi Chuan had
The U.S. Army Black Regiment
A black group scared you?
Peng Dehuai in the Korean Battlefield
Liang Xingchu was dumbfounded, and did not refute it, he had heard of Peng Zong's violent temper. But Mr. Peng added:
"What is the main force of the 38th Army, the main force of the bird!"
At this moment, Liang Xingchu, the commander of the 38th Army, who was also hot-tempered, couldn't help it, so he replied a few words unconvinced. Mr. Peng directly slapped it on the table and roared, "I don't have other skills in Peng Dehuai, but I still have the ability to chop horses!" ”
Liang Xingchu had no choice but to bow his head and stop saying a word.
Liang Xingchu
The 38th Army of the Volunteer Army is indeed a great leader, the predecessor is the famous 1st Column of the Northeast Field Army, known for being good at fighting vicious battles, is the first class main force of Dongye, this time into the Dprk to participate in the first battle, the 38th Army's brother troops, the 39th and 40th Army (formerly Dongye 2nd and 3rd Columns) have performed well, praised by Peng Zong, but only the 38th Army provoked Peng Zong to lose his temper and was criticized.
Liang Xingchu, who came from a blacksmith, was nicknamed
"Beam big teeth
"That is also a fierce general who has made a storm on the battlefield, and if he can bear this nest of anger, he must prove to General Manager Peng that no one in the 38th Army is a twin."
Although the first battle was won by our side, it did not annihilate too many UN troops, so macArthur, the commander-in-chief of the UN army, believed that the volunteer army only sent 50,000 or 60,000 people, symbolically sending troops, and there was no need to worry too much. The truth is, along with it
Song Wheel of Time
Led
Sanno 9 Corps
At this time, there were more than 380,000 people in 9 armies and 30 divisions in the Korean battlefield.
On 10 November, MacArthur, unaware of the number of volunteers, continued to order the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division, 2nd, 24th, and 25th Infantry Divisions on the Western Front, as well as the Turkish Brigade, the British 1st Brigade, and the South Korean 1st, 6th, 7th, and 8th Divisions to attack about 130,000 northerners. Peng Dehuai also laid a huge pocket array north of the Qingchuan River, and the task of closing the pockets was entrusted to Liang Xingchu's 38th Army and Wu Ruilin's 42nd Army.
On November 23, at the headquarters of the 38th Army, Liang Xingchu was circling around the table with the battle map, thinking about how to surprise and win by cutting off the enemy's retreat and locking the enemy in Peng Zong's pocket position.
Peng Dehuai's plan to encircle and annihilate the UN forces
Liang Xingchu took the pen and suddenly pointed to the combined headquarters of the 7th and 8th Southern Divisions between Tokugawa and Ningyuan and said: "We only need to send a task force to quietly insert behind the enemy and blow up the Wuling Bridge, the only channel for the enemy's southward retreat, and they will have no way to retreat." "When we are surrounded on all sides, the enemy will surely disintegrate quickly, and we will be able to quickly pass through Tokugawa and intercept the retreat of the United Nations army."
Surprise attack on Wuling Bridge
On November 24, Liang Xingchu ordered the deputy chief of the reconnaissance section of the army
Zhang Kuiyin
, Chief of the Reconnaissance Section of the 113th Division
Zhou Wenli
Led a reconnaissance detachment of 323 men to infiltrate behind enemy lines. Zhang Kuiyin led this reconnaissance detachment to cleverly disguise itself as a South Korean unit, and then some North Koreans as guides, and thus swung through the South Korean troops.
Afterwards, Jang Kui-in recalled that as they swung along the highway, the South Korean army barracks on both sides of the highway were brightly lit, and the music from the military tents could be clearly heard. Several enemy vehicles oncoming also took the initiative to make way for the squad. When the enemy sentry asked, the North Korean guide of the squad answered wittily and cleverly. There are a few words of Jean
It is still unforgettable when the sentries of the South Korean army asked them, "Which unit?" "1 Brigade's." Where did it come from? "From the front." Where to go? "Go to the back."
Fortunately, the management of the South Korean army was scattered, and it was such a vague answer that it was successfully passed. Zhang Kuiyin said that at that time, their guns were loaded and opened for safety, and they were ready to fire at any time, but fortunately, there was a surprise pass. Along the way, the soldiers of the reconnaissance detachment ate fried noodles in the snow, and after a long journey, they finally arrived at Wuling Bridge at 5 a.m. on the 26th.
Such a critical traffic pass the enemy must also know the importance of the Wuling Bridge, so they built a bunker on the Wuling Bridge and pulled up the barbed wire.
Through observation, people found that the garrison of the South Korean Army was about 5 or 60 people, and the South Korean Army's defense was very lax, and these bridge guards certainly did not expect that the volunteer army would penetrate so far to blow up the bridge.
At 6 a.m. on the 26th, most of the South Korean army had just gotten up and moved outside the bunker. The reconnaissance detachment easily seized the bridge, installed 160 kilograms of explosives on the piers, and successfully blew up the Wuling Bridge at 7:30 a.m.
Siege of the Tokugawa Han 7th Division
At the same time as the reconnaissance detachment surprised the Wuling Bridge, on November 25, Peng Dehuai issued an attack order for the second battle, and the 38th Army launched a fierce attack on the enemy of Tokugawa. Liang Xingchu ordered the 112th and 113th Divisions to detour from the flanks, and the 114th Division to break through from the front, completely encircling the Han 7th Division.
The 112th Division, which was responsible for the detour of the left wing, set out from the area of Caodong and Dumendong at 4 p.m. on the 25th, and occupied the 454th Heights at the commanding heights west of Tokugawa in the evening, and the main force of the 112th Division quickly advanced towards Tokugawa.

It was ordered that no one was allowed to love the war on the road, and it was absolutely impossible to miss the opportunity to intersperse because of the love war like the first battle.
At that time, the 112th Division ambushed a Rok army supply team on the way and got countless live chickens, which made the volunteer soldiers who had been eating Snow And fried noodles hungry, but because of the task, they had to abandon it.
The 113th Division, which was responsible for interspersing on the right wing of The Tokugawa, was the commander of the division
River tide
Under their leadership, they quickly ran to positions east and south of Tokugawa, and their task was to organize the enemy to flee south or turn east with the 8th Division to the south. The 113th Division, this time, wanted to be humiliated by the snow, and rushed all the way, and arrived at the side of Tokugawa at 9 p.m. on the 25th
Datong River
At that time, the river surface was not completely frozen, and in the face of the cold and bone-chilling river water, Shi Yangtze River Tide took the lead in taking off his cotton pants and stepped directly into the river, and the soldiers also followed to cross the Datong River.
The 114th Division on the front also proceeded smoothly, continuously destroying the defenses of the 2nd and 8th Regiments of the Southern 7th Division in the north, advancing in two directions towards Tokugawa, and completely occupying the area north of Tokugawa at 6 o'clock on the morning of the 26th. At this point, the 114th Division and the 112th and 113th Divisions, which were circuitous on the flanks, surrounded all of Tokugawa. In the end, more than 5,000 people of the Han 7th Division were annihilated.

After annihilating the Han 7th Division in Tokugawa, the 38th Army marched in two directions to Sanshori, marched 140 miles in one night, and successfully occupied Sansholi before the Americans, blocking the retreat of the American troops, where the 38th Army experienced a real fierce battle, blocked the mechanized troops of the American army with flesh and blood, and played a key role in the second battle.
38 Army a snow before shame! Praised by General Secretary Peng, the reputation of the Banzai Army was also famous in this battle.
