Chapter 53 The heart-stirring sound of Chinese military horns sounded all over the mountains and plains

Fighting until dawn, the remaining US troops were compressed in a rice field by the Zhuren Bridge. Now, the American aircraft has value. U.S. planes flew over in patches and bombarded Zhuren Bridge indiscriminately. Among them, a plane circling overhead gave them a warrant from Division Commander Gay: "Hold on, your troops are on their way." The unit Gay was referring to as a response was the 5th Regimental Combat Team. Upon hearing the news that the 3rd Battalion was besieged, Johnson, the commander of the 5th Cavalry Regiment, was distraught; He was originally the commander of the 3rd Battalion, and he was promoted to the commander of the 5th Cavalry Regiment only a month ago.The 3rd Battalion is the foundation of his family, can you not feel bad?

From the starting point "Glans Head Nose" to the destination, the straight-line distance is 6 miles, and the actual distance on the ground is only 18 miles. Use the tank to open the way, and it will be there in 15 minutes. Commander Johnson didn't believe that, relying on the firepower advantages of planes, cannons and tanks, he couldn't break through the defense line of the volunteers, and couldn't rescue his soldiers? Commander Gay was impatient. He immediately transferred two infantry battalions, several tank platoons, and an artillery company to Commander Johnson, and ordered that the 3rd Battalion must be picked up before dark.

On the morning of November 2, U.S. planes, artillery and tanks carried out intensive bombardment of the volunteer positions, and a large number of napalm bombs fell on the positions. With a fire attack, the U.S. Army soon broke through the first position of the Volunteers. Now, Commander Johnson is a little satisfied. He immediately gave the order: launch an attack on the Volunteer Army's second position! He also mobilized a task force consisting of two infantry companies and four tank platoons, ready to rush to the response point and occupy the position once the attack was successful.

After all, he is the commander of the ace army of the U.S. military. Commander Gay has a high professionalism as a soldier. He braved the hail of bullets and rushed to the frontier observation post in person to supervise the battle. At this time, Milburn, the commander of the US 1st Army, couldn't sit still, and braved the hail of bullets, and rushed to the forward observation post in person to supervise the battle. Milburn, commander of the 1st Army, was MacArthur's right-hand man. MacArthur's U.S. troops in North Korea mainly consisted of two branches: one was the Eighth Army, commanded by Walker; the other was the First Army, commanded by Milburn.

However, time seems to have stopped here.No matter how indiscriminately bombed by planes, artillery and tanks, the US offensive has never made any progress. From 2 p.m. to dusk, within four hours, the U.S. military launched repeated attacks on the Volunteer Army positions. The number of troops increased from one company to two companies, and then to two battalions, or even three battalions. Taking a step to the Volunteer Army's position, they just left pieces of corpses in front of the position. There were two big leaders supervising the battle, and Commander Johnson didn't dare to neglect. He personally put on his clothes and directed the charge, but still got nothing. There seemed to be too many volunteers, and they couldn't finish the bombing.

Suddenly, a shell flew over, and before Commander Johnson had time to get down, there was a "boom", and his head was almost blown away from his neck. He was badly wounded. In fact, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties, the Volunteer Army only arranged a small number of soldiers on the forward positions, and when the enemy charged, they would lose no time in joining the second echelon. What's interesting is that the Volunteer Army did not stick to defense, but launched a counter-offensive against the U.S. military while defending. Being counterattacked by the weak army, how could the U.S. military have such preparations? After a huff, they were driven down the mountain by the volunteers, and many of their original positions were lost.

Not only lost position, but also embarrassing! And when the volunteers fought back, they blew harsh bugles everywhere. The sound of bugles, trumpets, and shouts all over the mountains and plains is equivalent to creating a special space field.In this space field (battlefield), the U.S. military suddenly entered the gate of hell where ghosts and wolves howled in the middle of the night. Even if they were not killed, they were scared to death. Many U.S. troops have a feeling of hell.
