Chapter 165 Breakthrough
Chapter 165: Breakthrough
"This is the situation!" Commander Zheng said immediately: "According to the reconnaissance of our army's scouts, it has been confirmed that the 63rd Army is only more than 20 kilometers away from us!"
"good!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Go and beat him up!"
...
Hearing this, the cadres all were happy. If they walked a distance of more than 20 kilometers, they could arrive before dawn. In other words, if they went well, they would be able to return to their own positions tomorrow with the siege. During the period when the 180th Division was divided and surrounded, they were all living in fear. When they heard that, they would soon break through the siege and return to their own troops. There was no need to say much about the excitement.
Only Captain Pang stared at me with his eyes tightly, and even gave me a wink when he was not paying attention. I understood what he meant, the closer the 180th Division was to break through, the less time I had.
But what can I do? I looked helplessly at Xiao Chen, who had just become my orderly soldier beside me. He followed me in an endless stream, and more than 200 soldiers who were about to become my subordinates. Can I, the newly appointed battalion commander, leave with my words?
"But there is still another problem now!" Political Commissar Wu frowned and gestured at the area in front of Tieyuan, saying: "Because the comrades of the 63rd Army were guarding Tieyuan tightly, the Eighth Army of the US could not advance. Now, more than 50,000 people from four divisions were stuck in the area of the Announcement Government Corridor, including the 27th Brigade of the British Army who was good at fighting!"
"What are you afraid of them?" Someone shouted without thinking: "Now we are full and we don't lack bullets. At worst, we can fight them. Besides, the Americans' guns are all facing the front! Let's catch him off guard from behind, and stab them into a hornet's nest with one stab!"
"You can't do it recklessly!" Political Commissar Wu shook his head and said, "Although the US military is not prepared, they have gathered a large number of troops in this area, and the defense is more than ten kilometers long. When we fight, we may be able to get some bargain at first, but after a long time, we can wait for them to recover..."
"I agree with Political Commissar Wu!" Captain Pang agreed: "We march slowly. Without the cooperation of comrades of the 63rd Army, it would be almost impossible for us to highlight the US military's defense depth of more than ten kilometers in one breath. If it is not good, we will fall into the enemy's encirclement again!"
"Political Commissar!" I couldn't help but suggest, "Will we go on the mountain road? Americans' cars and tanks all walk on the road. Let's take advantage of the night to march all the way. At worst, they can be killed when they are discovered..."
"We have thought about this method too!" Commander Zheng shook his head: "But according to the scout report, the more than ten kilometers in front of Tieyuan are areas where the comrades of the 63rd Army fought and retreated. Every hill and highland is a position that our army and the Americans have seized several times, so all the trees in this area have been burned out. Moreover, there are US troops stationed in every highland, and the large troops cannot marches in secret at all. This method will not work!"
No! I was stunned when I heard this. I didn’t expect that this would still cause such a problem if the 180th Division was brought here. It’s not right to fight now, nor is it not right to fight if I don’t fight…
"Or..." Some cadres put forward new suggestions: "Let's break through with a different position?"
"No!" Commander Zheng quickly rejected the suggestion: "The superior ordered us to break through the government, and there must be his reason. In my opinion, this is because Tetsubara is too important! The superior wants us to help them when the 63rd Army is in crisis, and they can fight side by side with them when they break out. If an army fights all over, they will also hold back the Americans. What is our division? We can't fight the first battle!"
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but feel miserable as if I was choking. But at this time, Captain Pang gave me a blame look again, which made me feel even more depressed.
What a mistake! At the beginning, I just wanted to discuss the government with the 63rd Army to choose this place to break through. Now it seems that it is precisely because of the 63rd Army that there are many Americans here. It is much easier to discuss the government with the 63rd Army.
"Report!" At this time, a volunteer soldier saluted next to him: "When my battalion was carrying arms, I found a car of puppet army uniforms. The cotton coats on the soldiers were wet. I asked the leader if he could let the soldiers change..."
"Nonsense!" Commander Zheng responded unhappily: "If you change into the military uniform of the puppet army, then you will not be messed up when fighting? You can change your shoes and pants, but you can't do it!"
"Yes!" The soldier responded and turned around and left.
"Wait!" I quickly called him back: "How many sets of military uniforms are there in that car? What are they?"
"Da Lum has more than 200 sets! There are all shoes, clothes and hats, but they don't have helmets. I guess they were replaced by the puppet army!"
"Well! There are more than two hundred sets..." Hearing this, I looked at the full set of American equipment in the hands of the soldiers, then looked at the more than 60 intact cars in the tunnel, turned around and said, "Teacher Commander, political commissar, we might as well walk from the highway!"
"Go from the road?" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at me in surprise, and they didn't understand what I meant.
The cool breeze was blowing and the cannons rumbled. In the past, when the volunteers walked on the marching road, they would always check the number of stars in the sky and whether the moonlight was bright, because this directly determined the degree of concealment of our marching. But this time it was not necessary, because this time we drove on the road, and the bright headlights of the car were enough to make us ignore all the stars and moonlight in the sky.
There are more than 5,000 people in the 180th Division now, and I evenly distributed the sixty cars in the entire team. Of course, where the car headlights are illuminated, the volunteers have changed into the uniforms of the puppet army, and where the lights cannot be shining, they cannot see clearly what they are wearing because of the contrast of light intensity. In addition, the soldiers are holding American equipment without exception. At first glance, this is a puppet army marching.
I walked in front of the team in a puppet military uniform. In order to cope with the possible investigation of the puppet military, I also specially divided the Korean-speaking People's Army guides into three batches and placed them in the front, middle and last three sections of the team. I also ordered that everyone except those who speak Korean were not allowed to speak...
Can you get away with it? There is a saying that you can do it or not. This American has been deceived by our volunteer army several times. For example, he was deceived during the Battle of Yunshan. Now he should learn to be smart no matter how hard he said! So I feel a little bit like a little up and down. Our troops lined up in a straight line and walked on the road. If the Americans see through it and shoot fire from both sides, then...
However, I thought about it again that the United Nations forces are complex and it is difficult to communicate with each other in language, so the chaos of passwords and troops identification is carried out from beginning to end. Let’s talk about this battle in history, there were several volunteer corps surrounded by all-in-one systems. It was because they were regarded as puppet troops by the US military as puppet troops that they broke out without any danger. The most classic is the 91st Regiment of the 31st Division of the 12th Army. This regiment was also surrounded by the US military during this battle. They were dozens of meters away from the US military when they crossed the river. What is unimaginable is that when the volunteers did not change their military uniforms or equipment, the US military would even treat them as puppet troops at such a close distance, allowing the comrades of the 91st Regiment to walk out openly under their noses.
Now we have at least changed some military uniforms, changed all the equipment, and there are cars... We should have no problem with the comrades of the 91st Regiment. Of course, if there are a few tanks or a few howitzers behind the car, it would be even more perfect.
Amid the sound of the motor of the car, I held up the rifle in my hand and walked forward. In front and behind, I was all under my command, the soldiers of the Third Battalion of the 538th Regiment. Of course, Hu Zi and others were naturally incorporated into this unit and became company commanders.
I just came to know the battalion commander and didn't hurry to meet them, so I was going to live and die together. This made me feel a little weird. But when the soldiers heard that I was the battalion commander, they were all very excited and had a unique spirit when walking. If I hadn't been ordered, I was afraid I would have been surrounded by them and asked questions. It seems that I can really be considered a celebrity now...
"Beep..." With two loud horns, the car in front stopped. I poked my head out and looked, and then I found that there was a checkpoint from the US military in front of me. Under the light of the headlights, a red and white fence blocked the middle of the road. What surprised me was that there was no one in the checkpoint, which forced the driver on the car to honk a few more times.
After a while, a disheveled US military emerged from the tent next to the road, murmured and cursed a few times. I was thinking about how to deal with him, but unexpectedly I found that the US military had no intention of asking us. He hurriedly raised the fence, waved his hand impatiently and shouted "go, go!" to us twice, and then crawled back into the tent.
That's it? Seeing this, I was stunned. This American was too careless! I had caused so much trouble just now... But thinking about it, who would have thought that a team that came up from behind would be the enemy's troops?
After calming down, I followed the car forward again. The more I walked forward, the more tanks, cars and tents there were, and from time to time, several US jeeps whizzed by the honking. At first, my palms were nervous and sweating. Later, I seemed to feel that I was one of them.
After walking without any danger for more than half an hour, the sound of gunfire became closer and clearer. The wounded soldiers of the US military also lifted them down from the front line one after another, and were about to approach the last line of defense of the US military, but at this moment, the car in front suddenly stopped while turning, blocking the way for everyone behind.
