Chapter 49 Accompanied by the piercing sound of trumpets, the volunteer army launched an attack like a tide

At 16:40 on November 1, colorful flares rose into the sky. The small steel cannons (so-called artillery) of the 39th Army launched a bombardment at Yunshan City. Twenty minutes later, the 117th Division attacked in three directions, and soon rushed to the forward position, fighting with the Han army with bayonets. Seeing a large number of Chinese soldiers rushing forward with shining bayonets, the Korean soldiers were completely frightened. Fighting bayonet is desperate! Mom, run away! Mom, run faster! The head of the US 8th Cavalry Regiment Johnson later angrily described these fleeing Korean soldiers, saying: "I was so frightened that I became clay sculptures, and I was completely in a state of trance."

By 23:00, the Korean troops to the northeast of Yunshan had been basically wiped out. The U.S. military history records: "Just after midnight, the 15th Regiment of the Korean Army is no longer a combat unit. Most of the people were killed or captured, and very few escaped by chance." Commander Wang Yang of the 116th Division, who was in charge of the main attack, carefully observed the terrain and found that the enemy's position was high and easy to defend. He decisively ordered a battalion to attack along the road to attract the attention of the enemy on the high ground. The main force of the division used a forest as a cover , ran to the hiding place of the enemy's position.

Sure enough, the attention of the U.S. military on the high ground was drawn to the road. With an order, the main force quickly inserted into the US military positions like two sharp knives. It was dusk, it was yellow and dim. The Chinese army launched a fierce attack on the US military from all directions, east, west, north, south, with an invisible flow of attacking people. According to psychological theory, once a person suddenly enters a specific environmental "field", his thinking will be affected by the "field", or even dominated by the "field". In the "offensive field" created by the Volunteers who shouted and shouted like a wave of horns, the U.S. military looked around and lost their basic ability to judge. They couldn't figure out how many volunteers there were and how strong their offensive capabilities were. .

Battalion Commander Millikin of the U.S. Army has participated in World War II and has rich combat experience. He has seen many big and small battles, but he has never seen this kind of formation. Facing the uninterrupted attacks like the tide, and the piercing horns and shouts all over the mountains and plains, he was stunned and didn't recover for a long time. When he regained consciousness and ordered the heavy machine gun company to fire at the opponent, the machine gun shooters still did not recover.Some of the soldiers of the machine gun company were holding machine guns and circling in circles;

The Millikin Battalion Commander was so angry that he yelled loudly: "Bastard! Fight wherever there is a horn! Fight wherever there is an enemy!"
