Volunteers let go of the U.S. Army, the division commander was about to shoot the company commander, and he was sad to hear that the ice sculpture company had sacrificed collectively.

bloody military demarcation line 50: Korean War 70 years Dai Kelin

of 70 person: the political arena

1950 December 3, Hagaru volunteers 20 Army 59 division headquarters. The

division commander Dai Klin repeatedly looked at the map several times, and said to several division leaders: "There is a Songbone Peak, and the 38th Army is long live. How are we playing? There is no movement on the 177th regiment at Eagle Peak. "Z2z

At this time, a staff officer came to report that the crew of the U.S. Marine z4 5z division had passed the Dead Eagle Ridge and was heading towards the lower corner. When Dai Klin heard it, he was furious: " pick me up with the 177 group, and shoot me the company commander! Z5z"

phone line hasn't been connected yet, the phone rang first, Dai Klin heard half of it, and threw the phone down. Crying...

Founding Major General Deklin

1. The ice sculpture company in the snow was called by Hu Yi, the political commissar of the 177th regiment. There were only more than 60 people left in the 1st battalion defending the two hills of Death Eagle Peak, and all frostbite lost their combat effectiveness. , Not to mention shooting, you can't climb down even if you climb, and someone has been sent to carry them down.

The 2nd Battalion, 6th Company of the 177th Regiment, which held the 1519 highland, was even more tragic. All the 125 soldiers of the company froze to death in the snow except for a messenger and 1 soldier who left behind. A piece of paper was found on Shanghai soldier Song Amao:

I love my family and the motherland, and I love my honor even more. I am a glorious volunteer soldier, ice and snow! I will never give in to you, even if it freezes to death, I will stand proudly on our ground.

Dekelin couldn't help crying when he heard this. Political commissar He Zhensheng was still comforting him tightly: "Master, you don't want to be like this..." But before half of his words were said, he cried more than Dekelin.

2. Deklin, who is most afraid of the cold, encountered the coldest winter

. Deklin, commander of the 59th Division of the 20th Army, dressed very differently on the battlefield.

In fact, this is not his first creation in the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. As early as in Yanzhou on the battlefield of liberation, Dai Klin often wore high-quality mink fur hats, light cotton clothes and leather shoes. Despite this, in the eyes of others, he was still shivering with cold.

As a result of years of fighting, Dekelin's nose, buttocks, left leg and sole of the foot were injured everywhere from head to toe. When the weather gets colder, the day of suffering comes. Unexpectedly, the more he was afraid of the cold, the first battle of the Korean war was in the icy and snowy Changjin Lake. Dai Klin suffered injuries frequently. Even if he was wearing a strange outfit, he could not block the low temperature of minus 30 degrees.

December 29 was the day when President Peng sent a telegram of "Long Live the 38th Army" to the troops. Dai Klin was worried about the frostbitten soldiers. He specifically asked Gong Yumin, Chief of the Operations Section, to communicate with the medical team. Don't just saw your legs and arms. Dr.

did not say a word, and took Gong Yumin to the shed: He took the shoes of the wounded and his feet fell off. The second one took off his shoes somehow, and Gong Yumin lightly touched the wounded man's foot and his toes fell off. Gong Yumin was in tears, the wounded didn't feel any pain, and looked at them blankly. Out of the shed, the doctor asked: Need your feet or your life?

Hearing Gong Yumin's report, Dekelin, who has always been humorous and jokes, didn't say a word for a long time.

Volunteer soldiers attacked the U.S.

3, Zhou Wenjiang and the hero's 5th company

59 division 177 regiment is responsible for defending the Dead Eagle Peak. Just look at the name and you can imagine the environment on the mountain. The deputy battalion commander Zhou Wenjiang and the 5th Company were ordered to defend the two hills of the 1,376-meter high mountain in Xixingli, which was later named the 1376 Highland.

Early in the morning of the 28th, 4 US tanks and infantry pounced on the position. Zhou Wenjiang ordered the first platoon to block the front, and the second and third platoons went round and round. The tank bombing team destroyed the front tank with grenades and captured two tank soldiers alive. The first attack of

was repelled, and the soldiers used the large pits blasted by American artillery to build fortifications. When the second attack was repelled, there were 15 American corpses in front of the position. In the third offensive, the U.S. plane mobilized more than 10 planes to bombard in turn, bombs and napalm bombs poured down on the ground.A sea of ​​fire. Zhou Wenjiang's pants burned. The two correspondents next to

shouted vigorously: Deputy Battalion Commander, please tear off the cotton pants. The fire was extinguished, but it was too cold for less than 10 minutes to wear a single shirt, so I had to run around for fear of freezing to death as soon as it stopped. During the battle, the soldiers picked up a few military coats from the corpses of the damaged car and only then did Zhou Wenjiang and a few soldiers stop.

held on until December 5th. There were only more than 20 people in the 5th company and the wounded. All of them lost their combat effectiveness due to frostbite. The 1376 highland became a piece of scorched earth, the broken branches and leaves were still burning, the top of the mountain was flattened and there were craters, and there was no tree on the mountain.

There is only one Li Mingkun left among the 13 backbone squad leaders, with more than 120 people in the company. At the end of the battle, there were only more than 20 people sitting together in a meeting. After the war, the 5th company was awarded the "First Class Meritorious Company" and Zhou Wenjiang was awarded the "Second Class Battle Hero".

US artillery position

Fourth, the helpless water gate bridge and the silent 1010.7 highland

177 regiment 2 battalion 6 company group was frozen and sacrificed, Xixingli defense was thus broken.

However, in the Dead Eagle Ridge blockade, dozens of US tanks were almost completely destroyed. The 7th and 5th Regiments of the US Marines lost half, and the Davis 1st Battalion alone lost more than 260 men. When Murray, the commander of the 5th Marine Regiment, arrived at Xia Jie Yuli, he was nearly nervous.

The US military broke through the Dead Eagle Ridge, and there was a water gate bridge in front of it. On December 1st and 4th, the volunteers blew up the bridge twice, but the US military engineers could repair it in a day, which is exactly the same as the speed of the Hundred Regiments vs. the Japanese Army to repair the railway.

For the third time, the blasting team blew up all the piers, and then safely evacuated. But I never expected that in order to save the trump card of the 1st US Marine Division, President Truman and the Department of Defense stayed up all night for several days and used a large transport plane to successfully airdrop 8 sets of steel bridge components made in Japan into the lower tower. After a day and night, a steel bridge was erected.

When the U.S. Tankeron crossed the Watergate Bridge, there was only one 1010.7 highland on the last barrier leading to Gutuli, on which there were two companies garrisoned: 60 division 180 zzzzzzz zzz zzz zzzzzz 5zzzz zzzzzzzzzz z4

However, these two companies have also been frozen on the ice and snow formations, becoming solid ice sculptures.

Retreat in the low morale of the 1st US Marine Division

5, minus 30°, let Smith escape the disaster

The encircled US Marine 1st Division Major General Din Livor P. Smith, finally defeated Dead Eagle Ridge Fox Highland (we call 1519 highland), broke through 1010.7 highland, reached Xiajieyuli, and then went south to Siguli.

20 army and 27 army can participate in the battle troops, regardless of the organization is in close pursuit, the American land warfare z4 5z division 70 only walked 20 kilometers, but the volunteer soldiers call the enemy like a snail with their eyes open. In general retreat, the 26 army,

as the reserve army, has not rushed to the main battlefield because of the bombing of the US plane and the bad weather.

US Army First Marine Division Commander Smith

On December 6, the US military retreated from Xia Jieyu. Before leaving, I didn't forget to blow up the base, and then used a bulldozer to grind it over. The piles of food, clothing, and ammunition were spilled on gasoline and burned. Volunteer soldiers who have not eaten a full meal in chasing for 20 days stomped their feet distressedly as they saw the raging fire burn food and a large amount of supplies.

Smith later recalled to reporters: We are not retreating, we are just attacking in another direction. American military historians also regarded Changjin Lake " the longest retreat " as a great strategic retreat as great as the Dunkirk retreat.

DykeLin He’s tenacious 59th Division tried their best to stop the 1st US Marine Division, but the soldiers did not lose to the enemy, but to the irresistible cold weather, which also imposed severe challenges on the logistics support of our army. Subject.
