When did the Battle of Hengcheng start?

Hengcheng's counterattack began on the evening of1951February 1 1.

Deng Hua Corps' first counter-attack target was the Eighth Division of South Korea in the northwest of Hengcheng. They expected to open the gap and attack the American defense line in Yuanzhou. The specific deployment is: the 42nd Army, which belongs to the 39th Army-1 7th Division and the 25th Artillery Corps-1Battalion. -17th division as a pioneer, heading for the valley northwest of Hengcheng? Add clouds to attack from top to bottom and cut off the retreat of the eighth division of South Korea;

/kloc-went out to the southwest of Tianheng City before 0/25th? Retreat to the yanfeng area, stop the possible assistance from the enemy's original state, and coordinate the operation of the 66 th Army;

126 division is deployed in the north of the terrace and continues to contain the enemy in the terrace. The 40th Army belongs to the 29th Artillery Regiment. The 3rd Battalion attacked the 8th Division of South Korea in the northwest of Hengcheng from the front.

The 66th Army took 196? 1977, the division attacked the southeast of Hengcheng, cutting off the enemy's retreat.

The 39th Army is the reserve team, deployed in the southeast of Longtouli and approaching the terrace. If the enemy in the terrace flees south after the counter-offensive begins, they will resolutely pursue it.

On the afternoon of February 1 1, Peng personally telephoned the front command of the Korean People's Army and all the army chiefs to report to Kim Il Sung that the volunteers fought the four main forces from west to east in this battle. If we want to win this battle, the key lies in whether the People's Army and the 66th Army of the Volunteers can complete their retreat as scheduled.

The victory of this campaign is to consolidate the previous victory, expand the international influence of the anti-aggression war between the Chinese and Korean armed forces, and win time for training and training troops. Otherwise, the enemy will destroy our army's rest plan. Therefore, this campaign is particularly important.

Please tell the cadres at all levels and all the soldiers that everyone should give full play to their enthusiasm and overcome difficulties. Please be brave and tenacious in destroying the enemy! Long live the victory of the people's army led by Mao Zedong and Kim Il Sung!

The rustic breath can't be vented.

However, whether Peng's counterattack against Hengcheng can win and achieve the expected results is still not practical. After sending telegrams to various armies, he sent a dense telegram to Mao Zedong, which read as follows: As the enemy who fought back on the terrace had considerable fortifications, it is estimated that the enemy on the terrace could not solve the battle in a day or two, and now he is attacking South Korea around Hengcheng? The 17th Regiment and the 7th Division of the 82nd Division of the United States? The 1st187th airborne regiment set out at dusk on June 5438+0 1. If we can wipe out five or six regiments, it is estimated that we can temporarily stabilize the front for half a month. If the counterattack fails, the enemy will pursue it crazily. It is difficult for our army to gain a foothold in the 38th parallel. At present, we must resolutely fight back, strive for victory at all costs, gain time and stabilize the situation, otherwise it will be more costly and more difficult.

Peng was asked to immediately launch the fourth battle and push the front of the volunteers south to the 36th line. The battlefield situation at that time was that the volunteers on the Western Front had to retreat to the north of the 38th parallel.

On the evening of February 1 1, the Fourth Army of the Volunteers began a large-scale counterattack in Hengcheng area.
