Battle clouds were gathering over Toxinli, and Colonel Angil of the 25th Regiment of the US Army was presiding over an operational meeting, which was attended by Sean, commander of the artillery battalion, Haydn, commander of the tank company, Cott, commander of the cavalry company, and Dawn, an operational staff officer.

Angel spread his hands and asked loudly, "Everyone, I have spoken on the phone with my mentor, General Li Qiwei, he talked about the strategy I still don't understand, and he also said that the enemy's offensive has reached the extreme, using an old Chinese saying, 'The end of the strong is not able to penetrate the reckless', what does it mean, which of you understands?" ”

Sean smiled and said, "Colonel Angel, how simple is this, General Ridgway means that the enemy uses a strong crossbow to hit us, and the bow and arrow are so offensive that we can't even shoot clothes made of cloth." ”

Angel hurriedly waved his hand to deny, "No, no, no, Lieutenant Colonel Sean, at first I thought so, General Li Qiwei scolded me, and said that I don't learn no skills, he studied Chinese and Chinese culture in order to fight with the Chinese army, I see that my teacher has gone crazy." ”

Haydn asked with a solemn face, "Colonel Angel, should you keep it or abandon it?" ”

Angel said solemnly, "Ladies and gentlemen, when I talked to General Ridgway on the phone in the morning, although he talked about the strategy I didn't understand, but for the defense of Tonxinli, General Ridgway explained very clearly, not only to defend us, but also to defend to the death, what to say to put it in the place of death and then live!" General Ridgway reiterated that once our 25th Regiment loses its position in Tosin-ri, the enemy will be able to drive straight in, and our entire front will be passive again, and as long as we hold on to Tosin-ri, General Ridgway will order the 25th Division and the 7th Independent Infantry Division near Tosin-ri to send troops to support us. ”

Haydn said happily, "Colonel Angel, this is great, I agree to defend to the death, the Chinese army has encountered my tank company this time, even if they are unlucky, I will let them learn how powerful my 'Tyrannosaurus Rex' is!" ”

Angel smiled and looked at Haydn, then said, "Guys, since you want to defend to the death, the forces of Toxinli will have to be redeployed, Colonel Daun, you tell everyone." ”

Dwayne said with emotion, "Colonel Angel's evaluation of General Ridgway is too accurate, as far as I know, General Ridgway was very interested in Oriental culture when he was studying at the military academy, especially the military culture of the East, after the outbreak of the Korean War, he paid special attention to China's three major battles and the command art of Mao ** and Peng Dehuai, and collected a lot of information for research, as Colonel Angel said General Ridgway did go crazy, but what about the effect? As you can see, since he succeeded General Walton as commander-in-chief of the Eighth Army and the ground forces of the United Nations Army, the situation in which the United Nations forces have been losing and retreating one after another has been effectively contained, and even a tactical counteroffensive against the Chinese army has been carried out in the local theater. ”

Kurt asked with a suspicious expression, "Colonel Dawn, you see the battle of Eagle Ridge that just ended not long ago, the Chinese army took Eagle Ridge without much effort, but the Eagle Ridge Heights are called the 'Iron Bucket Formation' by General Tru, and the valley is in the valley, how can it be defended?" ”

Dwayne said calmly, "Captain Cotter, I think Colonel Angel is more appropriate to answer your questions than I am, because he has communicated with General Ridgway several times on this issue, right, Colonel Angel?" ”

Angel said confidently, "That's right, I really don't understand the strategy that General Ridgway said, but his determination to let me defend Tonin is unshakable, Captain Cotter, if you have doubts, I can understand, but I tell you that Eagle Ridge and Tonin Ridge are not comparable at all, in the words of General Ridgway, there is a world of difference, you can understand by looking at the map." ”

Angel spread out the map and everyone gathered around.

Angel continued, "This is Toxinli, the terrain is flat in the east and west, and there are mountain beams stretching for several kilometers on both sides, according to General Li Qiwei's analysis, once the battle of Toxinli starts, the enemy will surround Toxinli from the east, west, south, and north directions, and in the east, west, and south, we will also send troops to intercept and support our friendly forces, so as to achieve the encirclement and annihilation of us, and by the way, send reinforcements, which is the tactic that Peng Dehuai often used in the past, called encirclement points to send reinforcements, but we will send troops in the east, west, and south First of all, we have Lieutenant Colonel Sean's artillery battalion, although it is a battalion, but the artillery and anti-aircraft guns are far more than a battalion, a total of 32 artillery pieces, there are more than 30,000 shells, our Captain Haydn's tank company is a world-famous ace of armored vehicles, skilled in tactics, extremely rich in actual combat experience, its observation and sighting system, artillery power and overhead machine gun strafing are the first in the world, these 22 tanks are worth more than enough for a division of the enemy, We also have strong aerial firepower, and our hundreds of bombers can carpet bomb the enemy's positions, so General Ridgway suggested that we deploy the tank company in a ring on the periphery of Toxinli to block the enemy's fire attack, and the infantry except for the regimental headquarters to stay in a company, and the rest are all put on the periphery, closely following behind the tanks, forming a trapezoidal cross battle group, unless the enemy is a heavenly soldier, otherwise we will hold on to Toxinli for a week, General Ridgway told me, As long as we can hold on to Tosinli for four or five days and consume the enemy's food, grass and ammunition, he will order the friendly forces around Tosinli to carry out a counter-encirclement of the enemy forces that encircle and annihilate us. ”

Sean said with a wicked smile, "Colonel Angel, you're so dishonest. ”

Angel wrongfully explained, "Lieutenant Colonel Sean, what are you talking about?" I swear to God, I never lied. ”

Sean smiled and said, "Colonel Angel, you obviously have a clear understanding of General Ridgway's strategy, why did you tell us earlier that you don't understand General Ridgway's strategic intentions?" ”

Angel said innocently, "Lieutenant Colonel Sean, you misunderstood. What I know clearly is the strategic significance of sticking to Ton-ri, but what I don't understand is the strategic intent of the Korean War, do you understand? ”

Dawn added, "Ladies and gentlemen, Colonel Angel is right, General Ridgway looks at the problem from the perspective of the overall situation, and he emphasizes knowing oneself and knowing the other, that is, to understand both the strategy and tactics of our United Nations Army and the strategy and tactics of China. I dare say that it will not be long before General Ridgway will replace General MacArthur as the supreme commander of the United Nations forces, so let's wait and see! ”

Li Qiwei, after this military genius took over Walton's command of the ground forces of the United Nations Army, in the military game with the Chinese People's Volunteers for more than a month, he made extraordinary moves, and the strategic abandonment of Seoul twice was his stroke of genius, even Commander Peng Dehuai said with emotion that Li Qiwei knew China too well, and had a feeling of meeting an opponent in chess, and now even a colonel and staff officer like Dawn admired and trusted him so much, which shows that Li Qiwei's status in the eyes of the US military is the existence of a god of war!
