Chapter 55 The designation of the 3rd Battalion of the US 8th Cavalry Regiment has completely disappeared on the earth

Commander Milburn's order was transmitted to the 3rd Battalion of the US Army, and the 3rd Battalion was completely desperate. At this time, the mortar shells of the Volunteers continued to fall, and there were shouts of killing everywhere. American casualties continued to mount.There are only more than 450 people left on the battlefield, and 250 of them are missing arms and legs.Battalion Commander Ormond, who relied on morphine to sustain his life, resolutely decided: all the wounded should stay, led by military doctor Captain Anderson, and surrender to the Chinese; This was the last decision Major Ormond made.

Battalion Commander Ormond was killed more than two hours later. Night fell. The U.S. military tried to break out of the encirclement, but before they had climbed a few steps, they were shot by the Volunteers and blocked head-on. Volunteers began to break into the US positions. The soldiers obeyed the order of Army Commander Wu Xinquan to make full use of their strengths and "see red with a bayonet" with the American devils. The Americans have been fighting for so many years, and have never seen such a thing: instead of relying on guns or cannons, they hold up white bayonets and fight with you.

Take your life, understand? Anything can be played, such as playing stocks and playing mahjong, but fate is not something that can be played casually. Because once life is played, life may be played. What's interesting is that the Volunteer Army really played their lives, but they didn't necessarily play their lives, but their opponents should die. At this time, these tall and burly American soldiers were completely frightened and stupid, and they just tried their best to get under the car. They didn't risk their lives, they saved their lives. But the head was drilled in, and the two huge buttocks were still exposed.

The typical "care about the head and disregard the back". On the night of November 3, the 39th Army launched its final attack on the besieged US troops. Commander Palmer later described: "There are Chinese soldiers all over the mountains and plains. It feels like the whole mountain is surging..." Fight all night. The result was: the 3rd Battalion of the 8th Cavalry Regiment of the U.S. Army was completely wiped out, and the battalion commander, battalion staff officer and four company commanders were either dead or captured. Facing the good news, Wu Xinquan slammed the table: "Huh, the Yankee knows how powerful this is! Close combat, night combat, hand-to-hand combat, let you experience it too!"

Thus, the 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry, ceased to exist as an organic unit. It may be too embarrassing. On November 6, the designation of the 3rd Battalion of the 8th Cavalry Regiment disappeared completely in the US Army. To this day, it has never been recovered. So far, the battle of Yunshan is all over.
