    The Chinese People's Volunteer Army's counterattack against the US Eighth Army has entered its fifth day.  The 114th Division of the 38th Army, as the reserve force of the 125th Division of the 42nd Army, also launched an attack on the two regiments of the US 25th Division south of Sunchuan three days ago.  After two days of fierce fighting, the US 25th Division stopped 6 kilometers away from Sunchuan after paying more than 3,300 casualties.  Within two days, the US 2nd Division also conducted two breakout operations from the north in response to the US 25th Division's response, but to no avail.  After receiving a report that the remaining troops in Jiechuan were under a large-scale attack, they immediately retreated. The 125th Division took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and both sides engaged in new fighting.  The 5th Regiment, which served as the rearguard of the U.S. 2nd Army, had been dispersed. After dark, Dai Wei, the colonel commander of the 5th Regiment of the U.S. 2nd Division, led the staff of the regiment, the driver and other five people in the vast darkness.  They were walking on a mountain path in the direction of Jiechuan. They had not eaten any food for more than 30 hours. For four days, they tried to break out of the encirclement southward, but it was in vain.  Late at night on November 3, he was ordered to stop the Chinese fifteen kilometers away from the pass and cover the remnants of the US 2nd Division as they retreated to Jiechuan.  After a day and night of fighting, the 5th regiment was beaten to pieces by the Chinese and the troops were scattered.  Now they are exhausted, and even they themselves don't know where they are now.  They crossed a creek, smashed a few ice cubes and held them in their mouths to replenish the lack of water in their bodies.  They came to a small village and found a thatched house on the edge of the village. There was no one in the thatched house.  They found ten potatoes in the thatched house and among the hay in the manger, where the horses had eaten dozens of grains of corn.  They did not dare to light a fire and had to eat these things raw.  Then we go around the village and climb up the mountain, taking a break every 5 minutes.  Finally reaching a small gentle slope, they could no longer walk, or rather they no longer wanted to go, so they lay down on the hillside for the night.  Before going to bed, several of them expressed their opinions on MacArthur and Walker in less elegant terms and discussed their ancestors and the women in their families.  The sound of gunfire in the distance could be clearly heard, but they were all exhausted, hungry and cold. No one cared about where the gunfire came from. They just resigned themselves to fate. They could only hope that this damn escape life would end soon. When they  When kicked awake.  Under the moonlight, they saw a few Oriental men wearing fat coats pointing their guns at them.  They laughed, and for them this terrible war was over.  On the evening of November 2, the 126th Division of the 42nd Army also launched an attack on a regiment of the U.S. 25th Division and the Turkish Brigade 18 kilometers south of Suchuan. After two days and nights of fighting, the U.S. 25th Division and the Turkish Brigade  , after suffering more than 2,800 casualties, they returned to Pyongyang with the wounded and corpses.  After two days of fierce fighting with the 124th Division guarding Suchuan, the 7th US Cavalry Regiment that was rescued suffered more than 1,900 casualties and saw no hope of breaking through.  I want to return to Anzhou area.  The 124th Division took the opportunity to counterattack and pursued the 7th US Cavalry Regiment.  The 7th Regiment is the main regiment of the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division. It has been continuously hit hard in the area from Suchuan to Anzhou south of the Chongchon River. The most tragic failure was the 1st Regiment of the 7th U.S. Regiment, which was responsible for covering the retreat.  Camp.  On the night of November 4, when the 124th Division of the Chinese People's Volunteers launched a powerful counterattack near Namdong-ri, ten kilometers away from Suchuan, more than 1,400 officers and soldiers of this battalion were wiped out.  In this battle, many units of the 124th Division of the Volunteer Army received honorary titles for their outstanding military exploits.  At the time, Major Phil, 1st Battalion, 7th Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division, recalled in the prisoner of war camp: "The battle started at midnight, and piercing horns came from not far away. I knew that the Chinese began to  Attacked. They are the most ferocious enemies I have ever seen. Our machine gunners mopped up the Chinese soldiers in the front, while they continued to pour in from behind.  Grenades, using the smoke emitted by grenades, are constantly rushing towards us. There are fewer and fewer soldiers. The main characteristic of our US Army is that we must have strong ground-to-air artillery support. But now, we are in a close fight.  The situation was such that there was no support from the air. The main position of our battalion was breached and the two sides fought together. Our glorious battalion, which had wiped out the Japanese army on Iwo Jima, collapsed at this time.  The regiment commander ordered our troops to move closer to the regiment headquarters area. I immediately ordered the troops to abandon all heavy weapons and retreat toward Anzhou where the regiment headquarters was located.  Brothers, they will not only delay the movement of the troops, but their fate is likely to be death. I am very clear about the kindness of the Chinese army. They will not kill prisoners of war like the shameless Japanese, nor will they do so like the North.  The Korean army shot prisoners of war so mercilessly. Although I repeatedly preached to my soldiers the ugliness of the "Red Devil", they were actually a very humanitarian army. In the end, I left behind 382 wounded soldiers and all.  After the tanks and armored vehicles, we retreated at full speed, but we were still tightly entangled by them. At dawn, I thought I had escaped, and I was happy. However, we did not escape our fate in the end.  As a result, we were once again divided and surrounded. There were only less than 200 men left in our battalion. I was also wounded.?It bleeds and hurts.  I weakly called the commander of E Company to my side and told him to call on my soldiers to put down their weapons and stop making such unnecessary resistance.  Finally, we declared surrender to the Chinese. "At this time, the hope of the US Eighth Army to break through from the land has been completely shattered. The 50th Army cut off the British 27th Brigade on the less than 30 kilometers section from Yichuan to Yanzhou. It formed several sections, and launched a fierce attack on the enemy with absolutely superior strength. The British Royal Heavy Tank Battalion, which was less than 50 kilometers away from Sinuiju, suffered the most severe blow. The 149th Division attacked the British Royal Army at the beginning of the battle. The heavy tank battalion launched a powerful attack. The British Royal Heavy Tank Battalion relied on tanks, armored vehicles, and cars to form a ring of fortifications and carried out desperate resistance, causing unprecedented heavy casualties to our 149th Division. After the commander decided to send the Wuzhi-10 to provide air support to the 149th Division, Wu Qiang and his group strongly requested to go to war. Deng Feng considered that there was only one Wuzhi-10 as an armed helicopter for future development. The prototype is not suitable for combat. However, Wu Qiang and his comrades in the Army Aviation Group all believe that whether it is really useful as a weapon must be tested in the battlefield environment. The Wuzhi-10 was my country's first aircraft in April 2003. The prototype has just successfully tested. It is the first dedicated armed helicopter independently developed by my country with anti-tank combat as its main mission. It has excellent combat performance, high technical content, and powerful firepower. Its overall performance has reached the international advanced level. But these have yet to be tested on the battlefield, so Deng Feng considered that the risk of dispatching Yanzhou was not very high, so he approved their attack and the British Royal Heavy Tank Battalion became their first choice. Qiang and Zhi-10 pilot Zhao Yong bravely boarded the tandem cabin of the WZ-10. Wu Qiang was the weapon operator sitting in the front cabin, and the driver Zhao Yong was separated by bulletproof glass between the rear and front seats. The bottom and sides of the cockpit, the engine, and the fuel tank are all composite armor. The nose is equipped with a photoelectric turret for search and fire control. The front and rear cockpits have helmet sights. The front and rear cockpit control systems serve as backup cabins for each other. Two 18-tube 80mm rocket launchers were hung on the inner mounting points of the short wing. Two 250-3 aircraft carrier bombs were mounted on the other two mounting points. It took off from the base at 23:00 on the evening of November 1. 30 minutes later, Wu Qiang, who was sitting in the front seat, flew over Yanzhou. Through the fire control radar of the multi-function downward-looking display, he discovered more than 50 tanks, more than 20 armored vehicles and more than 100 vehicles of the British Royal Heavy Tank Battalion. , forming a protective circle between two kilometers of roads and railways. Countless artillery shells and bullets formed a criss-crossing network over the battlefield. On the British defense circle, there was a fire-breathing tank every few vehicles. "Hey, Zhao Yong, let's attack from north to south first, then turn around and fly along the railway line from south to north in order to attack the ground along the railway line. The goal.  Then move the two submunitions to the densely populated area in the middle of the ring.  How about it?  "
