Lieutenant General Walker's mind was short, and when he received an order from the commander of the Seventh Division of the Rok Army to call for help, he actually said what the old devil Matsui in "Plain Guerrilla" said: Panic what? A communist army will scare you like this!
The decisive blow to the Rok army's Seventh Division was the advance detachment of the 38th Army led by Jang Kui-in. In Xi Hong's "Battlefield Diary of Resisting US Aggression and Aiding Korea," the experience of the members of the advance team in cutting off the retreat of the Han Seventh Division is described.
Zhang Kuiyin's gang was also bold, and they inserted themselves all the way to the depth of the enemy. They were all dressed in South Korean military uniforms, and the pull rings of grenades were clasped in their hands, ready to cook for the Koreans. When they encounter Korean devils on the road, they let the North Korean comrades go to work blindly first, and if they can fool the past, they will fool the past, and if they can't do it, they will work with bayonets.
The enemy was quickly wiped out without a lot, and not many people immediately smeared oil on the soles of their feet, anyway, the essence of the TuBa Road was brought into full play. In this way, tens of thousands of thrilling stories were created along the way, and the big guys rushed towards the Wuling Bridge in a puff of smoke.
At 2 p.m. on November 25, Zhang Kuiyin ran to Yangliufeng to rest, and reported to the headquarters of the Thirty-eighth Army that they had passed along the way, and mentioned that the Rok army was now empty and vulnerable in the rear.
Zhang Kuiyin's report was relaxed, but in fact it was not so. Some of the soldiers were anxious, and they did not even take off their pants, so they directly waded through the river barefoot, and as a result, the cotton pants had frozen, and they walked for more than a hundred miles, making it like zombies rushing to the road.
On the 26th, the gang arrived at the head of the Wuling Bridge and called again to ask the military commander what to do. What else can the commander say? Now that we have surrounded the Han Seventh Division in Tokugawa, let's see if you can blow up the bridge.
Of course, the bridge must be blown up, otherwise what will the brothers do with so much effort? There was a platoon of Korean garrisons on the bridge, which was cleaned up in half an hour. Then there was a loud noise, the more than a hundred meters long steel bridge was blown into two sections, Zhang Kuiyin looked at the watch, and it was ten minutes ahead of the task completion time.
Just when I wanted to leave, a large number of South Korean cars and tanks came running in the distance, and there was a long line of miles and miles, so many that I couldn't count how many there were. They were all remnants of the Han Seventh Division, which had been withdrawn from Tokugawa, and now that they had just met with the advance team, there was nothing to say. After a heated exchange of fire, five ammunition trucks were blown up on the other side, and they shrank back painfully.
Zhang Kuiyin pondered that the enemy would definitely counterattack, so he led his troops to occupy the 552.3 heights. On the one hand, it can provide reinforcements, and on the other hand, it can also block the enemy's southward escape, so that the large troops can completely wrap the Han Seventh Division into dumplings.
This incident was later made into a military teaching film "Surprise Attack on Wuling Bridge", which was seen by many people in the army at that time. Later, I felt that there were too many unit numbers involved in this, which was not suitable for ordinary people to see. Then the Bayi Studios used this as a prototype and adapted it into a feature film "Raid", which is a household name.
When the commander of the Seventh Division of the Rok Army heard that the Wuling Bridge had been bombed and knew that he had broken through and had no hope for Walker's help, Lieutenant General Walker, who had been short-circuited by MacArthur, actually said something similar to the old devil Matsui's words: Panic, a Li Xiangyang will scare you like this.
Of course, people say the sentence I said at the beginning, but the tone must be exactly the same, and those who have seen "Guerrillas of the Plains" can make up for it themselves. It's really strange that the gap between the words spoken by these two people is less than ten years, how can they be exactly the same? The American devils really don't show up at all.
Now Han Seventh Division was not going to panic. The Thirty-eighth Army is holding its breath, and Liang Xingchu is also going to take the Han Seventh Division out of breath and play the prestige of the Thirty-eighth Army. They will surely become a stepping stone for the 38th Army and leave a page of shame in China's history.
