The Twenty-First Route Army's Doomsday 2

  Tomorrow I have something to do in the city and will only be able to return in the afternoon. I estimate that it won't be too late, but the update might only be one chapter for tonight. However, I'll try my best to come back as soon as possible. I hope everyone can use their votes to support me and push my book to the top. I will work hard on updating.

  Also, I usually review my articles myself about 10 minutes before they are released to correct any typos.

  On the evening of the 25th at 8 o'clock, the 114th Division and an independent regiment launched a strong attack on the enemy in front. The powerful artillery fire of our army blasted the pseudo-army's position, causing smoke to rise everywhere, trenches and bunkers were blown up one after another, and the pseudo-army jumped out of their positions like rabbits, then retreated backwards, with many being knocked down by the extended artillery fire. The 340th Regiment captured the Beidang North Mountain at dawn, and captured the Tie Ma Mountain and Sanfeng area at more than 3 o'clock. The 341st Regiment also captured the Fayang Cave area at more than 2 o'clock, while the 1st Regiment launched a fierce attack on the enemy in Shaping under tank support.

  The fake army was terrified to see 7 M26 tanks lined up in a row, with many infantrymen following behind, and at a distance of over 1,400 meters, the fake army's mortars, recoilless rifles, and other artillery began intense fire on the tanks. The M26 tanks rang out with a loud "ding-dong" sound, mostly from mortar fragments, and occasionally direct hits by hollow-charge armor-piercing shells only scratched off a piece of skin from the tank turret.

  The M26's close-range short bursts would blast the enemy 75mm guns to smithereens before they could relocate. The 107 and 120 heavy mortars suppressed the enemy's reverse-slope artillery positions, while the 82mm mortars took care of their anti-tank guns. Enemy firing points and pillboxes were either blown to dust by 12.7mm heavy machine guns or blasted apart by tank cannons.

  Then a group of officers and soldiers who had jumped into the trenches began to sweep the trenches with various submachine guns. Seeing our military officers and soldiers emerging from the side, from behind, many enemies began to abandon their weapons and flee in the direction where there were no shadows of our army, although the enemy had a supervisory team and a collection team behind them, responsible for driving back the fleeing enemy soldiers to participate in the battle on the front line. However, since many places had been breached by our troops, and our troops were constantly surrounding the enemy from behind, the enemy thought that there was no point in continuing to resist at this position, so the second battalion of the third regiment began to capture enemies all over the mountains and fields.

  The enemy's artillery fire suddenly became fierce, because the artillery configuration was more rearward, and the advancing artillery unit could not suppress the enemy's artillery fire. However, the enemy's free artillery fire poured down fiercely on the road where our army was advancing, hindering our fierce attack. Under the command of Deputy Commander Jiang Yonghui of the 38th Army, the first battalion of Owen Bin's unit quickly attacked the enemy's artillery position in the cannon fire that lit up the night sky.

  At 2 o'clock in the morning on the 26th, they surrounded the enemy's artillery position. The only platoon of the enemy, after discovering our army, began to pour bullets towards our direction with light and heavy machine guns. Several soldiers were hit by bullets and fell down, groaning. Our army immediately lay down, Owen Bin waved his hand, a platoon took advantage of the darkness to encircle the enemy from behind, and the light and heavy machine guns were also set up behind a small mound.

  Charging into the enemy's rear, a platoon quickly followed the enemy's communication trench to charge towards the enemy's trenches. The enemy was swept away by our troops who appeared one after another. Soon, that platoon of the enemy was completely annihilated.

  The first company swiftly went to attack the enemy's artillery command post, the second company went to attack the enemy's artillery position, and the third company cut off the connection between the enemy's artillery position and command post, and prepared to ambush the enemy's reinforcement troops. The fake military artillery that was still firing looked at the warriors emerging from the smoke of the cannon mouth, with a dark face, holding steel guns, and evil spirits from hell, forgot about the guns set up beside them, turned around unarmed and ran wildly towards the back, leaving behind only the second company's officers and soldiers.

  The second company's soldiers and officers set up their light and heavy machine guns without hesitation, picked up the semi-automatic rifles in their hands, and shot down the fleeing enemy artillerymen in batches. From time to time, fallen enemies would let out frantic wails, adding a bit of ferocity to the darkness. Meanwhile, the third squad of the second company waited ahead, greeting the running enemy artillerymen with a hail of bullets.

  The pseudo-military regiment commander who found that the artillery position was not responding immediately realized that the artillery position might have been attacked, and the telephone line had been cut off. The wireless communication device called again, but no one answered. He immediately dispatched a company to investigate the situation.

  A company of pseudo-army troops quickly advanced along the valley to the artillery position, and was suddenly discovered by a rising flare. Before they could get down, many enemies were knocked down by a fierce rain of bullets. In fact, the enemy didn't think that the map provided by North Korea would be worse than those used by the pseudo-army and US military just a few months ago?

  When the enemy was still trying to take advantage of the night and dance with our army, dense hand grenades and American melons fell from the sky. Especially the 64 shrapnel of many empty American melons blasted the fake soldiers lying on the ground into pieces. Soon the enemy was annihilated.

  At dawn on November 26, 1950, how many people knew that in a valley of Toko-ri, Korea, the blood of more than 100 soldiers had been spilled and collected into a small pool at the bottom of the valley.

  The 114th Division occupied the Douming Cave and Masang-ri areas north of Tokai by 8:00 on the 26th, completing the task of compressing the enemy in Tokai. The pseudo-army, except for a part that was still stubbornly resisting, began to retreat and escape, and the dense enemy on the highway began to flee to what they thought was their place of life.

  At 8 o'clock in the morning, the vanguard of the engineering troops who had been working on the construction site near Xianyou Peak for four hours saw the enemy's tanks approaching the bridge one after another along the winding mountain road. In front of the bridgehead fort, the fake army commander emerged from the tank and looked at the Wuling Bridge, which was broken in the middle for more than 50 meters, and almost fell into the tank.

  The pseudo-army division commander standing in front of Wuling Bridge couldn't help but kneel down and wail loudly. More than 2,000 pseudo-soldiers, either on foot or climbing down from vehicles, gathered in front of the bridge, even tank crew members came to the ground, looking at Wuling Bridge in the middle of the treacherous mountain valley, looking at the more than 50 meters broken in the middle of the bridge body, all fell into despair.

  Zhang Kuiyin naturally did not miss this good opportunity, and the three companies led by him, Feng Gui, and Zhou Wenli, under the cover of mortars and heavy machine guns, charged towards the enemy with a loud shout. A string of mortar shells exploded in the dense enemy crowd, and the enemy fell down in batches, while the water-cooled Maxim M1916 sprayed a fierce hail of bullets at the puppet army.

  Due to the excessive density of the enemy, even many bullets penetrated three or four enemies before stopping in a certain enemy's body. The enemy either retreated backwards, finding a place to lie down, or hid behind cars and tanks. However, amidst the miserable cries, the commander of the 7th Division and a group of high-ranking officers around him, as well as dozens of soldiers, were squeezed down the mountain valley.

  Lost command, and the hidden car was blown up one by one. The tank cannon also fired at our own troops who were rushing into the pseudo-army. In the midst of the continuous Korean slogan "Surrender without killing, treat prisoners of war with kindness", the pseudo-army abandoned their guns and raised their hands. Thus, more than 480 people from the first battalion returned triumphantly with 12 tanks, over 30 vehicles, and escorted a large number of over 1,600 pseudo-military captives.

  By the afternoon of the 26th, more than 3,000 remnants of the pseudo-military Seventh Division had been supported by US aircraft and had made three breakthroughs without success, suffering heavy losses. Meanwhile, the independent First Division's high artillery company took advantage of the situation to shoot down three US P-51 planes. Because our army was already intertwined with the pseudo-army, even low-flying US planes did not dare to drop bombs, but were instead driven away by anti-aircraft machine guns. By nightfall, nearly all 3,000 people had been annihilated.

  The Tokugawa battle, annihilated more than 7,000 enemies, and the pseudo-7th division was almost completely eliminated. Also captured were 8 advisors led by a US colonel, more than 5,000 pseudo-army prisoners, seized all 156 enemy artillery pieces, 210 vehicles, 12 tanks, and shot down 3 enemy aircraft.

  However, this was just the beginning of the battle for the 38th Army and the Independent First Division.
