After arranging the tactics, Angel personally led more than 3,000 infantry to quickly outflank Xu Weiguo's independent regiment from the flank.

Xu Weiguo led his troops in hot pursuit, while recalling Miao Qing's words just now against Dong Zheng, Miao Qing obviously wanted to prevent himself from taking the risk of attacking, so that even the head of the corps dared to offend Yan Zhizhi. Miao Qing and Liu Yizhang are his best brothers, Liu Yizhang told himself not to pursue rashly before the war, and the reason why he disagreed with their warnings was because these years of combat experience told him that he was going to 'chase after the enemy', and the opportunity must not be lost! It is to completely destroy the enemy in one go, leaving no hidden dangers!

After Xu Weiguo chased more than ten kilometers, he suddenly regretted it, not to mention whether Liu Yizhang's tactics were correct, just with his true friendship for himself, and he should not go against his will for the sake of meritorious service, Miao Qing's attitude speaks for itself, he and Miao Qing have been partners for almost 20 years, this is the first time that he has not stood on his side, in order to make himself obey Liu Yizhang's orders, he dared to fall out with the head of the corps.

Xu Weiguo chased down a few kilometers again, completely calmed down, and suddenly woke up, and found that Liu Yizhang's order was very reasonable, the independent regiment marched rapidly for a day and a night, and fought an attack battle for more than an hour. But now he can't turn back, Dong Zheng has already mobilized the 44th Army to cooperate with his military operations, and he can't fall short because of his own reasons, affecting the overall situation, Xu Weiguo gritted his teeth and decided to chase down, even if the 25th Regiment of the US Army escapes at that time, it will not be too late to lead the troops to return the same way, as for Liu Yizhang, he sincerely apologizes to him, and Liu Yizhang will not care about himself with his mind.

Xu Weiguo chased all the way like this, all the way uneasy, the first battalion in front and the US troops who were dragging behind exchanged fire from time to time, and unconsciously chased to the north bank of the Imjin River, the commander of the first battalion, Qin Huaiyu, came to report that the 25th Regiment of the US Army suddenly disappeared, and Xu Weiguo found out that he had fallen into Angel's trap.

The constant sound of guns and artillery on the south bank of the Imjin River shows that the 44th Army is fighting with the US army to seize control of the south bank, Xu Weiguo does not know the battle situation on the other side, and the radio station is left in the guts and cannot contact the outside world.

When Xu Weiguo was in a dilemma, the 25th Regiment of the U.S. Army copied up from his body, dozens of artillery pieces came towards the Independent Regiment, the shells whizzed through the night sky, and more than a dozen tanks also fired at the Independent Regiment at the same time, and the soldiers of the Independent Regiment fell one after another, Xu Weiguo knew that the Independent Regiment was in a desperate situation, and if it crossed the river now, it would face the situation of being attacked by the enemy on both sides of the strait, he ordered the troops to break through in the east, west, and north directions, and shouted loudly, "Comrades, the Independent Regiment has reached the moment of life and death, We will fight to the death with the US imperialists, we would rather die standing than live on our knees, the roots of the independent regiment must not be broken, and we must fight to the death! ”

The warriors, without fear, shouted in unison, "It is better to die standing than to live on your knees!" ”

Xu Weiguo jumped off his horse and shot a shuttle into the air with a rushing spear, shouting, "Brothers, rush with me!" ”

The trumpeter blew the loud military horn, and the warriors of the independent regiment suddenly burst out with infinite power to die and live, rushing to the enemy formation like a tiger in the mountains, Xu Weiguo was shot several times, Qin Huaiyu tearfully carried him and rushed out together, Xu Weiguo used his last strength to break free from his back, and explained in a weak voice, "Huaiyu, I can't do it, don't care about me, if you go out alive, you must tell Liu Yizhang that I will be brothers with him in the next life!" ”

After saying that, Xu Weiguo closed his eyes forever, Qin Huaiyu was full of grief and indignation, and shouted, "Brothers, avenge the regiment leader!" After saying that, he led the brothers to rush forward like crazy.

Angel saw it really in the tank, the independent regiment attacked like crazy, like a moth to a fire, in front of the semicircular position, the fallen corpses were built into a high human wall, the battle ended quickly, Qin Huaiyu led more than 300 people to kill a bloody road and rushed out, Dawn wanted to send troops to chase and kill, but was stopped by Anji, he asked the troops to dig more than a dozen big pits on the spot, buried the remains of the soldiers of the independent regiment, and bowed deeply.

After receiving Dong Zheng's order, Cao Mingkui began to fight for control of the south bank of the Imjin River, and tried his best to break through the steel defense line of the 25th Division of the US Army......

The air in the front-line headquarters seemed to be frozen, dozens of people fell silent, Dong Zheng was like a frosted eggplant, his expression was sad, and he lowered his head and said nothing. More than an hour ago, everyone was still cheering for breaking the siege of the 25th Regiment of the US imperialists, and was full of praise for Liu Yizhang's super weapons and super command, but now everything has changed, the situation on the battlefield is changing, winning and losing, and the outcome is undoubtedly a change in the wind and dust.

Liu Yizhang forcibly suppressed the pain in his heart, he knew very well that now was not the time to be sad, the 44th Army was almost out of ammunition and food, and there was no point in staying on the south bank of the Imjin River, and it was very likely that it would be interspersed and divided by the US army, surrounded and annihilated. So he calmly suggested to Dong Zheng, "Chief, I suggest that you immediately ask the 'Zhisi' for instructions, the corps immediately withdraws from the battle and makes a strategic retreat to the north of the 38th parallel, the 44th Army is now alone on the south bank of the Imjin River, and it is in an extremely dangerous situation, once the Imjin River surges, the consequences are unimaginable, and this is related to the safety of tens of thousands of soldiers!" ”

Dong Zheng nodded, he knew in his heart that Liu Yizhang was now wholeheartedly assisting him, he immediately reported to the 'Zhi Division' the current grim situation of the Corps, and asked for instructions to immediately withdraw the 44th Army to the north of the Imjin River, and the 'Zhi Division' immediately approved Dong Zheng's request and praised Dong Zheng, the Corps has successfully completed the strategic tasks undertaken in the Fifth Campaign, and can withdraw to the northern mountainous areas to form a confrontation with the United Nations Army on the 38th Parallel.

Liu Yizhang walked out of the headquarters and sat quietly on the top of the mountain, feeling numb to the sound of guns and cannons on the front line, his heart was like ashes, and he had experienced so many life and death partings, Liu Houzhang, Liu Enzhang, Ao Dong, Deng Jiaju, Pang Lixue...... But it didn't make him so uncomfortable like Xu Weiguo's sacrifice, tears couldn't stop flowing, and the last bowl of wine at noon yesterday was a farewell wine!

For example, the morning dew, the day is bitter! This is a true portrayal of Xu Weiguo's life, he also pursued Mu Yan, who may be the only woman he has chased in his life, but Mu Yan has never even looked at him; There are so many battalion commanders, regiment commanders, division commanders and even deputy army commanders who have walked out from his hands, but the only ones who can really be called friends are himself and Miao Qing, and the words he asked Qin Huaiyu to tell him before he died are still echoing in his ears, his life is too lonely!

The more Liu Yizhang thought about it, the more painful it became, and he buried his head in his chest and couldn't stop sobbing.

Miao Qing leaned on Liu Yizhang's back, his face was pale, if it weren't for Dong Zheng, Xu Weiguo would not have died in battle, although Dong Zheng didn't do it on purpose, why couldn't he take Liu Yizhang's suggestion, just because he was a senior general? Miao Qing and Dong Zheng have been familiar with each other since they were children, and they know each other too well, although Dong Zheng is several levels higher than Miao Qing, Miao Qing doesn't take him seriously at all.

And for Liu Yizhang, Miao Qing has known him for less than half a year, but he is regarded by Miao Qing as a brother who has died, Liu Yizhang's Wen Taowu strategy is very incomparable, his keen insight and extraordinary courage are even more impressive, he has unique congenital conditions, but the acquired efforts are more awe-inspiring, young people less than twenty years old, less than half a year seems to be more than ten years old, Miao Qing clearly remembered the night before the attack on Eagle Ridge, Liu Yizhang made three suggestions to him when the slightly immature face. And just yesterday, Liu Yizhang and Xu Weiguo showed wisdom and calmness when they explained their tactics, how can a young man of this age have? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is rare, and what is even more valuable is that Liu Yizhang is compassionate and compassionate, righteous and thin, and regards his brothers as siblings.

Miao Qing really didn't know how to comfort Liu Yizhang now, so she hoped that there was a box of wine in front of her, and she would get drunk with Liu Yizhang.

At this time, Dong Zheng walked towards them after arranging military affairs, Miao Qing saw him, and he was angry, he knew that Dong Zheng must have come to Liu Yizhang to apologize, Miao Qing stood up and walked away without a fight.

Dong Zheng saw Liu Yizhang burying his head in front of his chest, his shoulders trembling violently, and his eyes were moist. Dong Zheng has been very self-blaming since the accident of the independent regiment, he has just made a deep review with the head of the 'Zhi Division', and took the initiative to take the responsibility for the defeat of the independent regiment, the head of the 'Zhi Division' did not blame him, thinking that the responsibility is not Dong Zheng, in that case Dong Zheng's deployment is the most reasonable, if it is daytime, the nature is different, let Dong Zheng not have a burden of thought.

Dong Zheng felt that the most sorry person was Liu Yizhang, he reminded himself through Wu Xiangsen a few days ago to beware of the possibility of a sneak attack on the front-line headquarters, he didn't take it seriously at all, and privately thought that Liu Yizhang was unfounded, but he still had to rely on Liu Yizhang and Xu Weiguo to come to relieve the siege at night, which can be said to be a life-saving grace. But it was because he agreed with Xu Weiguo to pursue the 25th Regiment of the US Army that the tragic consequences of the annihilation of the entire Independent Regiment led to Dong Zheng stroking Liu Yizhang's head and said guiltily, "Yizhang, the accident with the Independent Regiment was caused by my command mistakes, I'm sorry, I disappointed you." ”

Liu Yizhang was taken aback when he heard Dong Zheng blame himself like this, he raised his head, held Dong Zheng's hand, looked into his eyes, and said sincerely, "Chief, you can't say that, you are arranging tactics from the perspective of the overall situation, if the 44th Army can seize control of the south bank of the Imjin River at that time, the result will be completely different, I don't consider rash pursuit from local considerations, whether it is you or I, I hope that Commander Xu will lead the independent regiment to fight a beautiful turnaround, and can make immortal achievements, our intentions are the same, For Xu Weiguo's sacrifice, you are more painful than me, this is really not your command responsibility, and there is no such thing as disappointing me, just like I said when I first met you, I will always be your soldier! ”

Liu Yizhang's words made Dong Zheng even more sad, and tears came out of his eyes. Everything Liu Yizhang said was so heartwarming, of course he knew that Liu Yizhang often gave him advice because he was concerned about the safety of himself and the Corps. From this moment on, Dong Zheng secretly regarded Liu Yizhang as the most trustworthy person, and only then did he understand why Wu Xiangsen liked Liu Yizhang so much, so that he hurriedly entrusted Yutong's life to him.

More than ten days later, Liu Yizhang led the 535th Regiment to prepare to return to Maxiling, before leaving, Dong Zheng held Liu Yizhang's hand and said sincerely, "Yizhang, after you return to Maxiling this time, you must give me a good rest!" The fifth campaign has come to an end, and I will be returning to the corps from the front in a few days. At that time, I will definitely invite you to live in the corps for a few more days, and the two of us will have a long conversation all night in our hometown, if you have any requirements, just ask, Yutong is my only nephew, her vision is really poisonous, find a young talent like you, my sister will also smile if she has knowledge underground! ”

Liu Yizhang said with a smile, "Chief, I will definitely go there when the time comes, there are no other requirements, just have wine, but unfortunately Yutong is not there, and there is a lot less excitement." ”

Dong Zheng smiled bitterly, "I like her to stay in the country, I want to be quiet." Yizhang, don't you know that Yutong, this girl, has been working against me since she was a child, in the years when I worked with Wu Xiangsen, she and Wu Xiangsen were as good as a person, eating and sleeping inseparable, what about my own uncle? Either ignore me, or just say some harsh things to tease me, I can't help it, I have to 'bribe' her often to get some delicious food, and when she receives a gift, she can treat me well for so many days that I am embarrassed to see her without a gift......"

Liu Yizhang smiled and didn't interject, just listened quietly, imagining Wu Yutong's arrogant and cunning appearance......
