At this time, the soldiers of the Volunteer Army's Sharp Knife Company were ready to launch a sneak attack on Yunshan City. Dressed in the uniforms of the South Korean Army, they blended into the enemy camp and prepared to join the large troops inside and outside. Directly hit the command. The U.S. military thought they were friendly and were not at all on guard.
The soldiers of the sharp knife company were unceremonious, directly throwing grenades at the American troops, and then launched a sudden attack. The soldiers shot when they saw the people, and the U.S. troops did not have time to react, and they were directly knocked down a large piece. With the sound of gunfire in Yunshan City, the volunteer army on the outskirts also launched an attack, and the warriors should cooperate inside and outside to take Yunshan City with one blow.
Palmer was very anxious about this situation, and what made him even more frightened was that the Zhuren Bridge had been attacked, and those he had sent out to defend the Zhuren Bridge could not be contacted. Palmer hurried to ask the division commander Guy for help, but Guy couldn't do anything about it, and the Fifth Regiment he sent out to support was already on the Yongheungdong Road. They had been blocked by the volunteers for a day, and during the day they could not break through the position with air support, let alone at night.
But now that the Eighth Regiment of Yunshan was about to be completely annihilated, Guy could only let the Fifth Regiment continue to attack, and only if they defeated the volunteers and opened the eighth regiment through the lines of communication could they be saved, otherwise the myth of the undefeated cavalry division would be broken again. The commanders of the Fifth Regiment were ordered to launch another attack on the positions of the Volunteers, who had great firepower and strong tank armor, but could not break through the simple fortifications of the Volunteers.
The Americans were not supported by aircraft in the dark, they were too frightened to advance after being blocked, and their regimental commander saw this and personally climbed on the tank to operate the machine gun, trying to boost morale, but the next second he was killed by the volunteers. When the American soldiers saw that the commander was killed, they turned around and ran in fright, and the Fifth Regiment of the US First Cavalry Division was never able to break through the position of the volunteer army and could not support Yunshan.
At this time, the soldiers of the 39th Army of the Volunteer Army had directly attacked the enemy's command post under the enemy's artillery fire, and the city of Yunshan was captured, and the indispensable Cavalry Division finally paid the price for its arrogance, and their Eighth Regiment was completely defeated. The three battalions of the Eighth Regiment were completely annihilated, and even the regimental commander Palmer was nowhere to be found.
The commander of the U.S. First Army realized that they had underestimated their opponents, and he feared that if they continued to fight, they would be completely annihilated, so he ordered his first cavalry division to retreat immediately, the enemy army retreated, and the soldiers of the 343rd Regiment of the Volunteer Army also successfully completed the task of blocking, and now they were going to retreat. The regimental commander Wang Fuzhi looked at the scorched-earth positions around him and the martyrs who had died heroically, and he ordered that no wounded and any remains of martyrs should be left behind before retreating, he did not want to let the martyrs stay in a foreign country, he wanted to take them home.
After General Manager Peng learned that the US First Cavalry Division showed signs of retreating southward, he demanded that the large net woven for the US troops be closed immediately, and now it is finally necessary to close the net, and once the various units are inserted in place on time, the historically invincible elite of the US Cavalry Division will probably become history forever. But at this time, Mr. Peng found that the 38th Army had not yet reached the designated position. In Mr. Peng's original vision, as long as the 38th Army could penetrate the United Nations army north of the Qingchuan River, it would become a turtle in an urn, but now that the 38th Army did not reach the designated position on time, the net was not covered, and the enemy army had the opportunity to escape from the encirclement net at any time.
According to the instructions of the chairman, Mr. Peng demanded that the 38th Army take control of Anju, the stadium, and the military corner as soon as possible and build fortifications, and cut off the contact between the enemy in the north and south of the Qingchuan River in turn.
And with the slow closure of the volunteer encirclement, the commander of the US Eighth Army, Walker, also sensed that something was wrong, and now the US 1st Cavalry Division, the US 24th Division, and the South Korean troops were all suppressed in the area of Dingju, Bocheon, Nyeongyuan, and Unsan, and this time the opponent was strong, and the tactics were different from those of the North Korean People's Army.
When Mr. Peng learned that the enemy army was going to run, he quickly let the various units launch a pursuit, and never let the enemy army escape from the carefully arranged pockets so easily. But at this time, the enemy army already had a vanguard force crossing the Cheongcheon River in the south.
After Liang Xingchu, the commander of the 38th Army, learned of this news, he quickly went down. The whole army must advance at full speed at all costs, and must not let the enemy slip away from under its own eyes. At the same time, he sent the 112th Division to advance at full speed, making sure to take the army within two days, and how many enemies could be intercepted.
The 335th Regiment, as the most capable regiment of the 38th Army, was sent to capture Feihu Mountain, the gateway to the military corner. The battle was of great significance, as it was about whether the enclosed pockets could be tightened. After receiving the order, the regimental commander Fan Tianen ordered the soldiers to discard their excess belongings and run forward. In the trenches of Flying Tiger Mountain, the enemy troops were snoring.
