Chapter 52 Volunteer Army's "heart-pumping" tactics

The Volunteer Army just took the method of blocking the head, and then began to dig out the heart. The head-blocking tactic is very strange to American soldiers; It is rare for American soldiers to use heart tactics. This tactic is the specialty of Mao Zedong's troops; Generals of the Chinese Communist Party such as Peng Dehuai can use this method of warfare with ease. At 2 o'clock in the morning on November 2, the moonlight at the head of Zhuren Bridge was hazy, covering the surrounding green mountains with a light mist.At this time, this is the only pure land in the Yunshan area.

At this time, on the winding mountain road leading to Zhuren Bridge, a team appeared faintly, with guns on their backs, they hurried towards the bridge head without saying a word. The U.S. sentry at the bridge found out and blocked the way to ask questions; The visitor answered a few words in Korean, but did not stop. The American sentinel couldn't understand Korean. Seeing such a group of soldiers rushing forward calmly, they judged through their aura that a retreating Korean army must have entered their defense zone. The sentry didn't think much, and let them pass the Zhuren Bridge smoothly.

I don't know what happened to the American soldiers at that time? A troop came to the front, not knowing who was allowed to pass, and still taking it for granted. If you don’t understand, the language doesn’t work, and there are other ways, how can you let it go if you don’t understand! After the team crossed the bridge, they walked straight to the American camp behind. When marching to the headquarters of the 3rd Battalion of the US Garrison, several short and piercing trumpets suddenly sounded in this team. In the night when the moon is dim and the birds are not dim, this voice is like a ghost, very scary.With the sound of the horn, this army suddenly showed up, screaming and pounced on the tents and convoys of the US troops.

The American soldiers in their sleep didn't understand what was going on at all, and they were so frightened that they didn't know what to do. Hearing the gunshots, Battalion Commander Ormond hurriedly got up and walked out of the tent. Just as he was about to ask a question, he was knocked to the ground by a barrage of bullets. Three attacks, five divisions and two divisions, the command post of the 3rd Battalion of the US Army was wiped out. Losing command is tantamount to losing his head, and the U.S. military suddenly fell into chaos. The unit that bravely broke into Zhuren Bridge was the guard company of the 115th Division.

This kind of fierce tiger's tactic is Wu Xinquan's usual style of play.In the subsequent War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the US army learned this tactic of Chinese soldiers many times. In fact, this heart-pounding tactic was adopted in ancient China.Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in "Nine Poems Before Leaving the Fortress": When drawing a bow, it should be strong, and when using an arrow, it should be long. When shooting a man, shoot a horse first, and when capturing a thief, first capture the king. Soon, this strange army captured the thief first and captured the king, destroyed a command post of the US military, and cut off the retreat of the enemy of Yunshan.

The division guard company succeeded in a surprise attack, and the 345th regiment attacked across the board, cooperating with the inside and outside, and started close combat with the US military. All of a sudden, the Zhuren bridge was full of flames, gunshots and killings. The two U.S. companies that had withdrawn from the heights were almost wiped out by the Volunteers before they reached the bridgehead. The U.S. military history faithfully recorded this disgraceful experience: "A column of soldiers from a company approached solemnly and neatly along the main road leading to Yongsan Cave. The soldiers guarding the bridge may think that they are Korean troops, and they did not ask. Let it pass, because they came through with dignity and seriousness."

The military history of the US military continues to write: "After passing the bridge, this army has been advancing northward on the main road, and soon approached the battalion headquarters. Suddenly, it blew the bugle and began to attack the battalion headquarters. The Chinese opened fire indiscriminately. Throwing grenades and explosives, the car was hit. However, some units around the command post are still sleeping soundly in fox caves or hidden fortifications..." "The enemy seemed to descend from the sky on clouds and fog, and their figures were indistinct.... They shot at anyone they saw, and even stabbed them with bayonets!"

Shame makes one improve. I found that American soldiers have this kind of bloody self-dissection spirit that is not afraid of shame. Therefore, the US military is also making continuous progress in reflecting on failures.
