    Wang Baozhu and Yang Guang were in the sniper bunkers on both sides of the main peak. Wang Baozhu was constantly looking for valuable and valuable targets; while Yang Guang paid more attention to the most dangerous enemies. He saw a flamethrower from an American army following a tank.  The weapon hand, who was rushing towards a soldier who was about to throw a grenade, sprayed a burst of fire, and the soldier immediately turned into a burning man.  But he still insisted on throwing the grenade at the enemy group, and then fell to the ground rolling back and forth. Yang Guang aimed at the fuel tank behind the American flamethrower and pulled the trigger.  With a "boom", a bigger fire swallowed up the enemy. In the night battle, our army fought more smoothly.  The 373rd Regiment did not passively defend, but constantly organized small-scale tactical counterattacks, which eventually developed into large-scale counterattacks.  They gave full play to our army's advantages in close combat and night combat, engaging the enemy in close combat, quickly dividing the enemy, forming a local advantage, and destroying the enemy in chaos.  Bayonets and grenades were used together, and the hard kung fu within 200 meters was perfected, and the "Three Fierce" tactics were fully utilized.  This prevents the enemy's superior firepower from being fully effective, and the enemy's tanks are spinning around in a hurry, not knowing what to do.  In the chaos, tanks were being blown up one after another.  Although most of the US military are veterans of World War II, they have never seen such ferocious and "unruly" fighting.  They were shocked by the Chinese people's brave will to fight.  They always feel that there are ghost-like Chinese people everywhere around them.  They don't know where they will jump out from, throw a grenade at themselves, blowing up their flesh and blood; they don't know where they will shoot a bullet at themselves, shattering their heads. What's even more terrifying is that they suddenly appear in front of them.  Behind his back, he stabbed the long bayonet into his heart.  Their nervous systems could no longer bear this fear. They abandoned the wounded around them, abandoned their comrades who were persisting in fighting, threw away their weapons, and ran backwards desperately, trying to get away from these ghosts in the night as quickly as possible.  Lieutenant Colonel Grams, the commander of the US 7th Infantry Regiment, who had one ear cut off by shrapnel and was covered in blood, said to the division commander Kimmelit: It's terrible! These elusive Chinese are coming out of the ground.  The ghosts come in groups of three or five, floating erratically and suddenly appearing around you. After throwing a burst of grenades at you, they disappear without a trace.  We were beaten to a pulp.  My headquarters was blown up by a bunch of grenades that flew from nowhere.  Major Ryson was killed, as were staff officer Lieutenant Wallace and radioman Wegers.  There were Chinese people everywhere, and there were very few of our 7th regiment left.  There was no safe place to hide there, and to hell with Lieutenant General Walker's orders.  " Kimrit lowered his head deeply After a day and night of fighting, the Chinese became more and more courageous. Not only did he not advance even half a step, but now he was hit by a big counterattack by the Chinese. Now his two regiments  After being defeated, the open area at the front of the pass was lost. He was really confused. He no longer thought about how to break through the pass guarded by the Chinese and occupy Sunchuan. What he thought about most now was how.  In order to avoid the fate of the entire army being annihilated, Kimrit was extremely frustrated. On the one hand, he reported to Walker in horror that not only did he fail to capture the pass and occupy Sunchuan at night, but he was counterattacked by the Chinese.  ; On the one hand, the commanders of each regiment were urgently summoned to their headquarters to discuss countermeasures. Everyone agreed that they should first break away from the Chinese and retreat ten kilometers to the north to establish a defensive line. After a night of bloody fighting, the US military failed to gain an inch of ground and left another area behind.  One thousand, six hundred and twenty-nine corpses, three hundred and seven wounded, four hundred and twenty American troops captured, more than 60 artillery pieces of various types, and more than 180 cars were seized. 35 tanks were destroyed. The 373rd Regiment also suffered one thousand and nine casualties.  Thirteen people. The next morning, I received a commendation telegram from Shiji: All commanders and fighters of the 125th Division: Warm congratulations on your great victory in annihilating more than 6,000 enemies in the Sunchuan Pass area! Your victory was completely shattered, and the U.S. Eighth  The group army's dream of breaking through the Sunchuan area has made a huge contribution to the total annihilation of the enemy from the north. I hope you will continue to work hard. We will use our army's spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice and continuous fighting to launch a more fierce attack on the enemy and win more  A great honor! Awarded to the 373rd Regiment to attack like a tiger and defend like Mount Tai. The 2nd Battalion of the 373rd Regiment will receive second-class collective merit once. The 2nd Battalion and 5th Company will receive collective first-class merit once. Special Commendation Commander of the Chinese People¡¯s Volunteer Army: Peng Dehuai 1  On November 3, 1950, the 125th Division left the 373rd Regiment to rest at the pass. The 374th Regiment was stationed ten kilometers away. The U.S. 2nd Division continued to maintain contact with the U.S. 2nd Division in Shimenli to ensure a high-pressure posture against the U.S. 2nd Division.  The troops of the U.S. Eighth Army attacking northward encountered a full-scale counterattack by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army of the 38th Army and the 42nd Army, which had firmly blocked the three routes of the U.S. Eighth Army's retreat in Yi.  The Yichuan section of the Sichuan-Sinuizhou railway was hidden. After the battle started, more than 58,000 troops of the 50th Army launched a fierce attack on the lone British 27th Brigade, cutting the British 27th Brigade into several main sections.  is caused byIt is composed of various federal troops, including: the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion of the British Army, the Royal Australian Regiment and the Canadian Light Infantry Regiment under Princess Petricia, and the 16th Field Regiment of the Royal New Zealand Artillery, with three regiments and one battalion.  There are more than 12,000 people in the brigade.  Moving along the highway on the west coast of North Korea towards Sinuiju, the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion of the British Army arrived at the Yanzhou area more than 40 kilometers away from Sinuiju, North Korea, followed closely by the Royal Australian Regiment, the 16th Field Regiment of the Royal New Zealand Artillery and the Canadian Light Tank Battalion.  Two battalions of the infantry regiment.  At this time, the British 27th Brigade was completely unaware that it was in a dangerous situation. To the east were nearly 60,000 people from the 50th Army of the Chinese Volunteer Army hidden in the mountains and forests.  To the west is the sea and to the north is Sinuiju on the Yalu River.  To the south is Yichuan.  After the general offensive was launched, more than 20,000 people from the 148th Division of the 50th Army took the lead in launching an attack on the 2nd Battalion of the Canadian Light Infantry Regiment under Princess Petricia, who was defending Yichuan.  The battle began. The 148th Regiment launched wave after wave of charges towards Yichuan. Their bugles rang through the night sky. Fierce hand-to-hand combat continued in the positions of the 2nd Battalion of the Yichuan garrison.  After six hours of bloody fighting, Major Nadvi, commander of the 2nd Battalion of the Canadian Light Infantry, finally informed the regiment headquarters through the radio that the 2nd Battalion no longer existed and he would lead the 46 people around him to surrender to the Chinese.  The 148th Division wiped out more than 1,300 British 27th Brigade defenders at the cost of more than 3,300 casualties.  Among them, 369 people were killed, 637 were wounded, and 328 were captured.  Occupied the supply depot of the British 27th Brigade in Yichuan.  More than 2,400 tons of combat materials such as gasoline, guns and ammunition, food, equipment, and various accessories were seized.  651 artillery pieces and rocket launchers over 60 mm were seized, more than 7,000 guns of various types, 18 tanks and 452 cars were destroyed or seized.  The occupation of Yichuan cut off the British 27th Brigade's retreat to the south; cut off the connection between the British 27th Brigade and the US Eighth Army; the captured combat materials greatly enriched the strength of the 50th Army, especially its firepower intensity.  The 50th Army was reorganized from the original 60th Army of the Kuomintang Army after the uprising.  The backbone of the military is mainly composed of the former 60th Army of the Kuomintang. There are many new soldiers and they are still very brave in fighting.  However, the tactics are a bit dull and there is still a certain gap between them and those veteran four-field main players.  However, this battle was truly remarkable.  It laid a solid foundation for the annihilation of the British 27th Brigade.  Subsequently, the 148th Division built layers of defenses in the north and south directions with Yichuan as the center to strictly guard against the enemy.  The 50th Army received a commendation order from Shiji, asking them to continue fighting bravely and make new contributions to the motherland.  He also informed us that we will receive support from friendly air forces at critical moments.  This greatly improved the confidence of the 50th Army.  The 40th Army is hiding in the northeast of Xichuan.  They have been hiding around the South Korean Eighth Division without anyone noticing.  The South Korean Eighth Division is still immersed in the joy of their victory, and the division headquarters is still planning a plan to advance north tomorrow.  On the evening of November 1, the 118th Division, the 119th Division, and the 120th Division of the 40th Army ignored a battalion of the South Korean 6th Division marching on their right flank and marched from three directions: east, north, and south.  The South Korean Eighth Division that arrived in the Heecheon area suddenly launched a fierce attack.  After five hours of fierce fighting, the headquarters and two regiments of the South Korean 8th Division were annihilated. Another regiment of the South Korean 8th Division fled towards the stadium.  Immediately, the 118th Division of the 40th Army attacked the South Korean 6th Division in the northwest direction of Onjing.  The 119th Division and the 120th Division launched a fierce pursuit in the direction of the stadium, and annihilated hundreds of people from the South Korean 8th Division during the pursuit.  On the morning of November 2, at the stadium, they encountered a battalion of the South Korean First Division, annihilated them and occupied the stadium.  From east to west, the activity space of the US Eighth Army was further compressed.  In this battle, the 40th Army of the Volunteer Army annihilated most of the Eighth Army of the South, more than 11,000 enemies, seized 400 artillery pieces (tools) above 60 mm mortars and rocket launchers, more than 6,000 guns of various types, destroyed and captured 28 tanks, and 300 cars.  The remaining vehicles, together with the 38th Army and the 42nd Army, formed a complete encirclement from south to east.  The 66th Army was waiting in hiding north of Turtle City. The battle launched an attack on the US 24th Division in Turtle City. They fought fiercely with the enemy all night. Both sides suffered heavy casualties and annihilated more than 900 people of the US 24th Division. The battle became a stalemate. The 66th Army did not  Can capture Turtle City.  On the morning of the 2nd, the U.S. 24th Division received an order from Army Commander Walker to retreat toward Dingzhou.  When the US 24th Division retreated, they destroyed the mountains of supplies that could not be taken away.  The whole Turtle City was in panic.  In panic, the U.S. military randomly burned all supplies that could not be taken away, and actually killed four of its own men while disposing of the ammunition that could not be taken away.  Then the 66th Army took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy, killing more than 200 American soldiers and capturing 89 prisoners during the pursuit.  The 39th Army is on standby in Beizhen and Liangshuidong.  After the battle was launched, they launched an attack on the enemies of Yunshan and Onjing, the South Korean 6th Division and the 8th Regiment of the 1st US Cavalry Division.  The 117th Division launched an attack on Wenjing and joined forces with the 118th Division of the 40th Army at Wenjing at 9:00 the next day.  Annihilating most of the South Korean 6th Division, they dispersed and ran into the mountains.  The 115th and 116th Divisions of the 39th Army rushed directly to the Yunshan area, with the 116th Division as the main attack, and rushed towards Yunshan fiercely.  Amidst the sound of bugles and whistles all over the mountains and plains, the 116th Division quickly swept through the outer positions of Yunshan and quickly entered the city.  He launched a life-or-death battle with the 8th Regiment of the 1st US Cavalry Division.  The 1st Cavalry Division has a long history and performed very well in World War II. It is a very capable unit in the US military.  Therefore, as the United States?The reserve force of the group army.  Despite this, the Eighth Cavalry Regiment that fought against the 116th Division was still unable to adapt to the ferocious close combat. Night battles, hand-to-hand combat, bayonets flashing red, and grenades flying from nowhere in the dark night, they were in a hurry and were quickly overwhelmed.  .  The 39th Army attacked Yunshan from all directions, beating the 8th US Cavalry Regiment and the remaining regiment of the South Korean 1st Division to pieces. They launched fierce street battles with the enemy and quickly separated and surrounded the enemy.  In Yunshan City, the Eighth US Cavalry Regiment and the remaining regiment of the South Korean 1st Division were attacked, surrounded and annihilated.  Guy, commander of the 1st US Cavalry Division, urgently ordered the 8th US Cavalry Regiment to abandon all baggage and retreat to Bochuan at full speed, and at the same time ordered the 5th US Cavalry Regiment to go north for rescue.  The 8th US Cavalry Regiment gathered its remnants and rushed out from the southeast side of Yunshan Mountain with all its strength. It was blocked by the 117th Division along the way and suffered heavy casualties.  The 3rd and 4th Battalions of the 8th US Cavalry Regiment and the remaining regiment of the South Korean 1st Division were completely wiped out by the 116th Division.  The 5th Cavalry Regiment that went to the rescue was blocked by the 115th Division of the 39th Army in Longtou Cave. They repeatedly attacked without success. Johnson, the leader of the 5th US Cavalry Regiment, was also killed by a sniper from the 115th Division during the battle. In the end, more than 257 corpses were left behind, and he was taken away.  With more than 600 wounded people fleeing in embarrassment.  After a night of fighting, the 39th Army killed, wounded, and captured more than 10,000 enemies, including more than 5,000 from the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division.  38 tanks, more than 270 vehicles, 119 artillery pieces of various types were destroyed and captured, and 4 aircraft were captured.  This is the most serious loss suffered by this "ace" unit of the United States in its history.  But this is just the beginning of their nightmare.
