When was Xiushan captured by China Volunteers?

The main defense point of the U.S. military deployed in the first defense zone to seize the throat of Jingfu National Road is to repair the mountain, and the U.S. military said its main assault direction is to repair the mountain for decisive battle.

In front of the repair hill is the 25th Division of the United States Army. On October 27th, 65438/KLOC-0, the American army, led by Major General Keane of the 25th Division of the United States, began to attack the frontier of Xiushan.

Although the U.S. military has been slow enough in attacking speed after launching the attack, it has used the power of air guns to maximize its advantages.

The volunteer soldiers who survived the bloody battle to repair the mountain said indignantly: Americans are too bullying!

Even more bullying is American tanks. When the American army attacked, the tanks were placed hundreds of meters in front of the volunteer positions in broad daylight to cover the infantry's charge. There was a boom there, and there was a boom here, with high accuracy.

Qin Lang, a four-company document of the 444th Regiment, fought all day in the frontier. That day, seeing that American tanks were too rampant, instructor Gao Chengshun couldn't help it any longer. He yelled at the shooter of the 60 th artillery squad: Zhang Zhaojiu, you call that fucking tank back to Lao Zi, and I will make a contribution to you!

If this is said in the military school classroom, it will definitely attract laughter from all over the room.

Mortar is a kind of arc artillery, which kills infantry by exploding shrapnel, and its power is only a little bigger than Grenade. As long as the shells don't fall on the tank, it is equivalent to tickling the tank.

The soldiers on the ground also felt funny when they heard the instructor's words. Before he finished laughing, Zhang Zhaojiu fired three shells in a row, one of which really hit the tank and knocked it back.

Suddenly, the soldiers on the ground were jubilant: well played! Well played!

The miracle of the whole mountain-repairing and defending war was created under such a situation that the firepower contrast was extremely wide.

65438+1On October 27th, the No.7 position of the 444th Regiment was also attacked by the other side. According to the military history of the 50th Army of the China People's Liberation Army, until noon on October 30th, 65438/KLOC-0, the US military's attacks on the 266th Highland and the 275.9 Highland held by the 7th Company were all feints.

However, the record of the US military is that the Xiushan decisive battle has always been a flat push, without a main attack? The difference between feint and attack.

It is really a joke to explain the misjudgment of the history of the 50 th Army in words: the army that attacked the 266 highland was the Turkish brigade. People fought a slick battle under the eyes of General Keane, playing a swaggering American soldier!

Perhaps because of the strict supervision of the US military, perhaps because Turkish officers wanted to give an account to Mr. Keane on the battlefield, the Turkish brigade had to be serious later.

65438+1At noon on October 30th, the Turkish brigade all the way began to violently attack Highland 266. The highland is defended by the second platoon led by the company commander of the 444th regiment. After five and a half hours of fierce fighting, the platoon was almost completely annihilated, and the nameless highland 266 in the south fell.

Cai Tianji, the second-row machine gun shooter who stood at the height of 266, hit the end with only half a box of bullets left.

At this critical moment, he thought of the mobilization of instructors before the war: Comrades, Xiushan is the main position of the whole army. For the safety of the motherland, even if we hit one person and shoot one bullet, we will go on!

He thought of the determination he expressed to the party branch when he went to the position: never retreat half a step and strive for meritorious service to join the party!

So he told gunner Zhang Fengzhong: You should fill the empty ammunition box with stones as soon as possible. When the bullets are finished, we will dry them with stones!

As expected, towards dusk, Turkish soldiers attacked again.

In order to save bullets, Cai Tianji first put the other side at a distance of tens of meters, and then suddenly opened fire, knocking down several Turkish soldiers in front.

The Turkish soldiers behind immediately fled like frightened birds. Dozens of meters in front of the position is a steep cliff, which is a dead corner of light weapons shooting.

After the other side was beaten back, Cai Tianji found that there were still four Turkish soldiers hiding under this cliff. He immediately jumped out of the bunker, picked up an ammunition box full of stones and threw it at each other. The other party didn't know what weapons they encountered and immediately fainted.

Just at the critical moment when Cai Tianji and his men ran out of bullets and the southern half of the 266 highland was about to fall, a reinforced class of the 8 th Company of the 444 th Regiment came to reinforce. After occupying the commanding heights of Highland 266, a fire raid was carried out at a distance of less than 100 meters, killing a large number of unstable enemies and driving the remaining Turkish soldiers out of Highland 266.

Another Turkish brigade attacked the 275.9 highland southwest of Fenggang from three directions. Under the direction of the instructor, after six hours of fierce fighting, seven companies, one row and three rows repelled the opponent's eight attacks, and the position remained unchanged.

American soldiers have an irresistible fear of the volunteers' charge piercing the night sky.

According to the war history of the 50 th Army of the Volunteers, on June 3 1 day and February 1 day, for two consecutive days, the US military only shelled the Xiushan position and did not launch an infantry attack.

On February 2, after two days' rest, the US military got up early, two hours earlier than before, and heavy shelling began at 7: 30.

Then, American soldiers attacked Xiushan in five ways at the same time. The 444th Regiment suddenly fell into the danger of being attacked on three sides, and the cruelty of the battle can be imagined.

The attack on Xiushan's commanding height of 473.8 was Company E, 2nd Battalion, 35th Regiment. After repeated struggles, at 14 on that day, about 150 people from the other side broke into the defensive position of the volunteers and captured the 473.8 highland. At the same time, Highland 440 and Highland 43 1 several hundred meters west of Highland 473.8 were also captured by a battalion of the Turkish Brigade.

On the same day 19, 9 companies of the 444 regiment joined? Regiment reconnaissance platoon? Four companies in a row? Five companies and two rows? Six companies in a row, from the east? The west and the west attacked the invading American troops in the dark.

Before counterattack, each counterattack team first touches the distance from the target 15 to 20 meters, prepares grenades and prepares to blow the horn. When the whistle sounded, they threw grenades at each other's positions.

The attack of volunteers is wave after wave, and the soldiers are wave after wave. Although the counterattack detachment is short of ammunition and has a serious attrition, it is very tenacious.

At 3: 30 the next day, the counterattack team resumed its position.

The history of American war says that the volunteers seem to be throwing grenades in succession.

The Turkish battalions in Highland 440 and Highland 43/kloc-0 were the least beaten. In the first wave of counterattack, they were all defeated quickly, and even the Turkish brigade commander couldn't believe the speed of defeat.

According to the war history of the U.S. military, the U.S. company E, which was guarding the commanding heights of Xiushan, was also attacked fiercely, and the positions in the first row of the right wing and the second row of the left wing were broken one after another.

Around 2: 15, the volunteers attacked the front of the second row like a flood, and one of them broke through the junction of the second and third rows and reached the top of the mountain. On the top of the frozen 474 highland, the two sides launched a very fierce hand-to-hand combat.

Although the American company E retreated from its position, the counterattack of the volunteers did not subside until around 3 o'clock, while the counterattack behind the American army continued until 6 o'clock.

Grant, the company commander of Company E, witnessed the fighting on the main peak in a highland south of the main peak. In desperation, he shouted for help to his boss, battalion commander Mai Pu Rongzhu, in a voice almost pleading: the position has been breached! Our company's wings have been destroyed, so there is no hope to continue!

Company commander Grant, who had a narrow escape after the war, revealed that the decisive factor to save Company E from total annihilation was the flare fired by 155 howitzer over the top of the mountain.

That night, continuous flares lit up the battlefield in Fiona Fang for several kilometers like daylight. It was through the light of flares that the artillery observers accompanying Company E observed the action of the volunteers, and immediately called the intensive fire support of American artillery by radio.

Some of the U.S. military's overwhelming roaring artillery shells were concentrated in the assembly area of the counterattack detachment, and some were shot in front of the subsequent echelon with barrage, building an insurmountable fire wall.

Under the cover of strong firepower in the rear, the American E company retreated one after another and finally escaped the situation of being wiped out by the whole army.

After dawn, the American E Company, which suffered more than half of the casualties, evacuated the blood ridge that made it nerve-racking.
