"Yizhang, I just received a call from the Corps' front finger, the United Nations Army has launched a counteroffensive, the situation is as you expected, there has been a reversal, our Corps has shifted from offensive to defensive, and now the war is out of a stalemate, just in case, the Corps' 'front finger' ordered you to lead the 535th Regiment to quickly reinforce Weidangli." On the other end of the phone, Wu Xiangsen was anxious.

"Army commander, Commander Xu Weiguo and Commander Miao Qing are all in Maxiling, just now the three of us have reached a consensus to discuss the joint action of the three regiments, and plan to rush to the aid of Weidanli on May 27, and are preparing to rush to the military headquarters to report to you in person."

"Yizhang, I completely agree with your suggestion, now time is very precious, can't wait for the twenty-seventh, you tell the two regiment commanders Xu and Miao to immediately set off and return to their respective stations, and assemble the team to arrive at Maxiling before seven o'clock in the evening to meet your troops, you immediately come to the military headquarters to discuss the plan of action for the night."

Liu Yizhang put down the phone and immediately made military deployments, "Commander Xu, Commander Miao, the action is ahead of schedule, you two will immediately return to the garrison to gather troops and rush to Maxiling before six o'clock in the afternoon, now every second counts, I won't send it, Qiu Wei will send it off!" ”

At this time, everyone's wine woke up.

After Xu Weiguo and Miao Qing left, Liu Yizhang explained to Li Wenzhong again, "Lao Li, I will go to the military headquarters for a meeting immediately, and you organize a meeting of cadres at or above the company level at home to explain tonight's military operation clearly, and the troops should not bring any baggage except for guns and ammunition and two days' rations." ”

Everything was arranged, and Liu Yizhang took Liu Xingzhang to Xinfengli immediately.

On the evening of May 25, Liu Yizhang led the independent regiment, the 535th regiment, and the first battalion of the artillery regiment, a total of more than 5,000 people, to march to Weidanli, and the unified number to the outside world was the independent regiment of the 77th Army, and the reinforcement headquarters was established, the commander-in-chief was Xu Weiguo, the military commander was Liu Yizhang, and the members were Li Wenzhong, Miao Qing, Shi Mingliang and Qiu Wei.

In the darkness of the night, the procession meandered along the mountain road, and in addition to the infantry, there were also a convoy of mules transporting artillery, a convoy of horses transporting shells, and most conspicuously a military vehicle carrying more than three tons of explosives. Liu Yizhang knew in his heart that there were no military bunkers on both sides of the encounter, and the tanks of the US army could carry out crushing attacks unscrupulously, and there were bombers in the sky that could carry out carpet bombing, and our army did not have any heavy weapons that could be used at all except for a limited number of artillery, and at this time it was particularly important to use explosives to blow up the enemy's tanks, and the key was that through many actual battles in Seed Mountain, Liu Yizhang had found a set of methods for making and using superweapons in various terrains.

At 7 o'clock in the morning of 26 May, after the troops had walked all night, they had taken a short rest and recuperated, and Liu Yizhang looked at the map and found that there was still less than 100 kilometers away from Weidanli, and at this rate they could reach Weidanli before 9 o'clock in the evening.

Liu Yizhang once again stressed to Xu Weiguo and others that the primary task of the reinforcements is to ensure the absolute safety of the Corps' 'front command' and that there must be no rash attack without special circumstances. ”

Liu Yizhang was taken aback, and he ordered Li Shaohua, "You immediately get in touch with the military department and ask about the situation!" ”

Liu Yizhang issued an order to the troops to end their rest and recuperate, and run to reinforce Wei Danli.

......

Since the early morning of 25 May, the United Nations forces under the command of Li Qiwei launched an all-out counteroffensive against our Chinese and DPRK troops, and the third phase of the Fifth Campaign has officially begun.

The front headquarters of the Corps was bombed by US imperialist bombers in turn, and all communications equipment was blown up, and contact with the outside world was completely lost. Dong Zheng could only send a messenger to the positions under the jurisdiction of the Corps to make manual contact, and the 1st Corps of the Korean People's Army was defeated by the 1st Division of South Korea. Under the pre-command order, it withdrew to the area from Bonsan to Golangpuri, north of the Imjin River, to deploy defenses and intercept the South Korean 1st Division, which was in hot pursuit, with the result that the 44th Corps of the Corps, which was still stranded on the south bank of the Imjin River, was completely exposed to the firepower of the 25th Division and the 25th Regiment of the US Imperialists, and more than 50,000 troops of the 44th Army were crowded into a narrow space on the south bank of the Imjin River and engaged in a fierce battle with nearly 20,000 US troops.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of the 26th, Angel received a call from Ridgway.

"Colonel Angel, the current situation is very favorable to our United Nations Army, the enemy's 66th Army is entangled on the Western Front by our independent 7th Infantry Division and a friendly British brigade, the 1st Corps of North Korea is entangled by the 1st Division of friendly South Korea, you don't have to be entangled with the enemy's 44th Army now, I order the 25th Division to continue to bite the enemy's 44th Army, you lead the 25th Regiment to quickly cross the Imjin River, and intersperse the front command of a certain Chinese corps in a roundabout way, and the communication equipment in Weidangli has been completely destroyed, The enemy's command is now 'deaf and dumb', and has lost contact with the outside world, which is the perfect opportunity for you to be disgraced by the Snow Seed Mountain. ”

"General Li Qiwei, thank you for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, now the Chinese army is falling for your strategy to lure the enemy deeper, and the enemy is now at the end of its strength, which is what you taught me in the Battle of Toxinli. General Ridgway, you are the most legendary general I have ever seen, attacking the enemy's shield with the enemy's spear, but the enemy's usual tactics have been used by you, please rest assured, I will create a big surprise for you this time, annihilating one of the enemy's corps headquarters, will deal a devastating blow to the morale of the enemy! ”

"Colonel Angel, don't be careless, don't underestimate the combat power of the Chinese army at any time, although their weapons and equipment are far inferior to ours, but they are cunning and tenacious, with indestructible willpower, when you underestimate them, it is the beginning of your mistakes, you will be attacked by their surprise, although the strength of Wei Danli is empty, but it is surrounded by mountains, it is not suitable for mechanized troops to fight, I will order the aviation to continue to bomb Wei Danli to cooperate with your ground offensive. Remember, once the enemy breaks through your blockade and flees north, do not pursue without authorization, and enter the mountainous area after passing the gall, the enemy's superiority in the high ground will be highlighted, my strategic intention has been made clear to you, that is, to lure the enemy deep in the plain area near the 38th parallel, and when the enemy's ammunition is exhausted, use our mechanized forces to intersperse and divide the enemy, and annihilate each one, once the enemy enters the high mountain area north of the 38th parallel, we will maintain a state of strategic stalemate, otherwise we will take every step forward, Even one kilometer has to pay a huge price, for one kilometer of barren mountains and mountains, it is really not worth sacrificing the lives of countless soldiers, and gaining a foothold in the 38th parallel will win a bargaining chip for the next step of military negotiations. ”

"General Ridgway, I understand, if the enemy breaks out and flees to the mountains north of Weidanli, I will not pursue, if I also use the method of luring the snake out of the hole to lead the enemy to the plain area south of Weidanli, I can outflank them and thus annihilate them!"

Angel put down the phone and immediately led the 25th Regiment to withdraw from the battle, and the vacant space left after the withdrawal of the 1st Corps of the Korean People's Army quickly crossed the Imjin River, bypassing the South and North Korean armies that were fighting fiercely in Jiangbei, and went straight into the guts.

After receiving the information, Cao Mingkui, commander of the 44th Army, realized the seriousness of the problem, and he immediately ordered Li Changsuo, commander of the 177th Division, to lead two regiments to withdraw from the battle and pursue the 25th Regiment of the US imperialists.

Li Changsuo, a senior commander who was born as a political worker and was very conservative in the execution of tactics, asked loudly, "Army commander, if we withdrew from the battle without receiving the order of the Corps' 'forward command,' wouldn't we act on our own initiative like the 1st Corps of the Korean People's Army, and did we violate battlefield discipline?" ”

Cao Mingkui became angry on the spot, "The Corps' 'front finger' has lost contact with the outside world, you tell me where to go to receive the order of the 'front finger'?" The Corps' 'front command' is now in danger, and once the 25th Regiment of the US imperialists makes a detour back to the gall, and there is only one battalion of troops in the gall, how long can it hold out? Don't fucking nonsense, immediately carry out my orders, immediately pursue the 25th Regiment of the US Imperialists, your task is to drag the 25th Regiment of the US Imperialism to the death, and you must not let the 25th Regiment of the US Imperialism easily approach Wei Guli. ”

Seeing that Cao Mingkui was furious, Li Changsuo did not dare to say anything more, and immediately led the two regiments to withdraw from the battle and closely pursued Angel's 25th regiment.

It was already more than seven o'clock in the evening when Liu Yizhang and Xu Weiguo led their troops to Weidanli, and it was completely dark, and the battle in Weidanli had been fought for more than five hours.

Angel's soldiers divided into two ways and stormed Weiguli.

One route, Colonel Dawn, a staff officer, led more than 1,000 people, with the cooperation of the tank company, to block Li Changsuo's troops who came to relieve the siege. Between the periphery of Weidan Lane and the Imjin River, except for a few low hills, there was a wide plain, and Li Changsuo commanded two regiments to attack for an afternoon, but they failed to take a single step forward to Wei Dan Li, and under the enemy's strong firepower, they suffered huge casualties.

On the other hand, under the personal command of Angel, more than 4,000 American infantry surrounded several square kilometers of Weidanli, and the corps headquarters was set up on a hill in the center of Weidanli, and the terrain was dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although there were only one battalion and a guard company totaling more than 500 people, Angel never succeeded, but under the long-term bombing of the US imperialist bombers, there were many casualties and there was little ammunition left.

At this critical juncture, Liu Yizhang led his troops to kill.

Liu Yizhang urgently deployed combat missions, and he ordered Miao Qing to command artillery to concentrate firepower to bomb the US troops north of Weidanli, and after 10 minutes of continuous bombardment, Xu Weiguo led the independent regiment to break through from the north to Weidanli, rendezvous with the corps' 'front finger', and immediately restore the corps' 'front finger' contact with the outside world. At the same time, he ordered Li Wenzhong to lead the 535th Regiment to launch a harassing attack on the 25th Regiment of the US imperialists from the east, west, and north. He led the spy company to detour back to the back of friendly Li Changsuo, and then planted explosives on the road leading to the Imjin River and on both sides, and when he finished planting and sent out signal flares, the independent regiment and the 535th regiment attacked Angel's 25th Regiment inside and outside, forcing the 25th Regiment of the US Army to retreat south from Weidangli and enter an ambush circle composed of super weapons......
