Chapter 90 Yang Gensi-style heroes are everywhere

In Xiajieyuli and Gutuli, the U.S. troops launched a fierce attack on the positions of the 58th Division and the 60th Division of the 20th Army in an attempt to open a channel to meet the U.S. troops in Xinxingli and Liutanli. At dawn on the 29th, with the cooperation of aircraft and tanks, the 1st U.S. Marine Division launched fierce attacks again and again at the 1071.1 highland in the southeast corner of Xiajieyuli. The 1071.1 highland is located at the intersection of Xinxingli, Liutanli and Xiajieyuli. It is a transportation hub and the only place where the United Nations Army must pass.The Volunteers guarding the high ground are the 3rd Company and 3rd Platoon of the 172nd Regiment of the 58th Division of the 20th Army, and the commander is Yang Gensi, a famous combat hero of the 20th Army.

At this time, Yang Gensi was 28 years old. He participated in dozens of battles, including the Huaihai Campaign, and won many military exploits. In order to hold the ground, Yang Gensi said bluntly, saying that this time he wanted to let the Yankees see how powerful the Chinese are.He also told the leaders about his three "disbeliefs"—do not believe that there are tasks that cannot be completed, that there are difficulties that cannot be overcome, and that that there are enemies that cannot be defeated. At 10 o'clock in the morning on the 29th, Yang Gensi led 3 platoons into the position.Before the bunker was dug, the heavy artillery of the US military rang out.

In a short period of time, the 1st Division of the US Marine War launched eight consecutive charges against this small volunteer position.At the end of the battle, there were only four people left on the ground: Yang Gensi, the leader of the heavy machine gun platoon, and two wounded.At this time, all ammunition had been exhausted, reinforcements were still on the way, and the US military launched a new charge. When the last moment came, Yang Gensi asked the three comrades who were about to run out of energy to evacuate the position with heavy machine guns, and stick to the position alone.The three soldiers could not be persuaded, so they had to stand up straight with their bodies frozen and starved for several days, solemnly saluted their beloved old platoon leader and old comrades-in-arms, and then left.

After the bombing, the U.S. military thought that there would be no one on the hill anymore, and more than 40 U.S. soldiers crawled to the position.When the enemy approached the position, Yang Gensi raised the shell gun and killed the American soldiers who waved the command flag with one shot. Then, he picked up more than 10 kilograms of explosives, blew the fuse, and rushed into the enemy group.Accompanied by the sound of "rumbling" explosions, the hero Yang Gensi and the panicked U.S. military died together. This is the prototype of Wang Cheng rushing into the enemy line with a rocket launcher in the movie "Heroes".

By the afternoon of the 29th, the US military commanders who had lost their minds began to make defeats. An infantry battalion and a tank battalion of the 1st Regiment of the 1st Division of the US Marine Corps in Gutuli, Baohouzhuang, and Zhenxingli areas, more than 1,000 people from the British Royal Marine Corps and the Korean Marine Corps, under the cover of more than 50 aircraft , Leaving his own position, he launched a fierce attack on the position of the 60th Division of the 20th Army of the Volunteer Army in an attempt to open up contact with the besieged U.S. troops in Xiajieyuli, Xinxingli, and Liutanli.

For the Volunteer Army with weak firepower, the U.S. military left the pocket position to launch an attack, which was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for mobile strikes. The 179th Regiment of the 20th Army, which guarded Fushengli, seized the opportunity and fought hard to stop the American army attacking along the way.Many volunteer soldiers strapped several grenades to their waists, lay on their backs on the road, and blocked the enemy's steel monsters with their own flesh and blood. The battle was very fierce.At dusk, the Volunteers took advantage of the opportunity when the U.S. military lost aircraft cover, launched a counterattack against the enemy, and surrounded them on the road north of Fushengli.

The task force used tanks, machine guns and artillery to open the way. Under the firepower of the volunteers, the tanks and infantry were out of touch with each other.In the end, most of the tanks broke through to Gutuli, while the infantry units all fell behind. "This task force, which lost the cover of armored vehicles, became the meat of the volunteer army. It was immediately divided into many small pieces by experienced Chinese soldiers, and fell into slaughter and melee." When the war lasted until midnight, the Volunteer Army sent U.S. prisoners to persuade the U.S. troops to surrender.After another violent attack, the remnants of the contingent with only 240 people surrendered to the volunteers collectively under the leadership of Major McLaughlin. 179, 53 from the Korean army, 3 from the Japanese, and 2 from the Kuomintang agents.

An organized unit of the U.S. military surrendered to the Chinese soldiers in this way. According to reports, at that time, a US military reporter asked a Marine Corps soldier who was using a bayonet to dig broad beans out of a frozen can to eat: "If God can meet your one request, what do you need most?" The soldier replied without looking up, "Give it to me tomorrow." In the face of the fighting spirit of the Chinese soldiers, the outstanding U.S. military has been stretched to the limit and is almost unable to hold on.
