Chapter 431: Danger, the main force of the Volunteer Army!

"You didn't bring it on yourself?" Just as Bai Yi was scolding in a low voice, the old Tang standing on the side gave Bai Yi a silent look: "Don't say anything about revealing such an important secret, and deliberately let go of a US military officer, it's strange that Lao Zhang doesn't scold you to death behind your back." ”

When he said this, Lao Tang was gloating, although he knew that this must be a conspiracy played by Bai Yi, and he had been approved by the chief, but thinking about the scene when Zhang Huangxin came to Bai Yi Xingshi to ask for guilt a few days ago, Lao Tang couldn't help but laugh.

What is called Xiucai encountering soldiers, it is unreasonable; When Bai Yi met Zhang Huangxin, the stunned young man interpreted this wise saying very well, which really made Bai Yi, a very smart guy, almost crazy.

Looking at the old Tang with a wicked smile on his face, Bai Yi understood what was going on in the head of this bad friend, and immediately raised his eyebrows: "Okay, look at your confident appearance, those six heavy cannons...... Gone! ”

"Don't ...... Other...... Don't! ”

As soon as the old Tang who was laughing and forgetting to hear that the heavy artillery that was about to arrive at the front line was about to be said to be gone, Bai Yi's red mouth and white teeth were gone, and when he landed, it was as if he had torn a piece of meat from himself, and in an instant, his bright smile turned into a heart-wrenching wail: "Staff Officer Bai, Brother Bai, Leader Bai, those six heavy artillery can't just be withdrawn for us, if it's a sports war, it's about to be a blocking war, and without heavy firepower, it can't stop the attack of the American devils at all!" ”

"Don't you still have seven or eight 80mm recoilless guns and a dozen 40mm bazookas?" Bai Yi looked at Lao Tang teasingly, putting on a posture that he had nothing to do with himself, and when he heard that Lao Tang was so anxious that he was sweating, he shouted again and again: "Others don't know, your old man still doesn't know?" Those are all targeted, and it is okay to fight a fixed fire company during a storm, but if it is a positional battle, it is not as effective as a heavy artillery. ”

Lao Tang couldn't help but be anxious, although his heavy firepower company successfully crossed the Imjin River and returned north under the support of a certain main division of the Volunteers, the relevant personnel and equipment had just been replenished before they received an order from their superiors to use them as a reinforcement force of a certain main division of the Volunteers to establish a defensive line in the Tiewon area of the North Korean bee waist to stop the American troops from moving north, and to gain enough time for the other fraternal units of the Volunteers to return north one after another.

When he first received this order, Lao Tang was also very puzzled, and it stands to reason that a unit like them, which had just fought a series of battles with the enemy and suffered heavy losses, should be immediately transferred to the rear for repair, and it was impossible to assign combat missions at all.

But he didn't expect that the superiors were not only assigned, but also the most difficult resistance battle as soon as he came up, which made Lao Tang feel a little uncomfortable, and said that the staff officers of the Zhisi were dizzy? Unexpectedly, let them, an incomplete and tired division, resist the main force of the American army, and it is still three days, is there no reserve?

In fact, it really made Lao Tang guess correctly, at this time, there is no reserve in the hands of Zhi Si, not even half of the soldiers, so where did the reserves that controlled the two armies in the hands of Zhi Si go before the war?

It's very simple, all of them went to fill the big holes on the Eastern Front.

Since the U.S. military took the lead in launching a counterattack on the Eastern Front, and surrounded and annihilated a cutting-edge division of the Volunteer Army with a dazzling offensive, the originally intact front was instantly torn open by the U.S. Army a large hole nearly 40 kilometers wide, and the entire Eastern Front was completely eroded.

However, the U.S. military was not satisfied with eating up a cutting-edge division of the Volunteers, they wanted to encircle and annihilate the main force of the Volunteers on the Eastern Front, so under the personal instruction of General Li Qiwei, commander-in-chief of the United Nations Forces, the U.S. Army on the Eastern Front quickly organized several rapid clusters of armored mechanization with armored troops and artillery as the core.

Under the cover of the air force, just like the volunteers of those years, they boldly carried out interspersed northward penetration, and in less than a week, they besieged two armies, a total of five divisions, south of the 38th parallel.

Seeing that the Eastern Front Volunteer Army was about to be completely eaten by the US army, Shiji ordered the besieged troops of our army to immediately disperse and break out, and at the same time, decisively put all the reserves in his hands into the Eastern Front to meet the northward movement of the breakthrough troops.

After a series of arduous battles, the encirclement of the American army on the Eastern Front was finally broken.

However, the movements of the Volunteer Army Reserve were soon noticed by Lieutenant General Van Vliet, commander of the US Eighth Army, who was closely following the movements of the Volunteer Army, so he led the main force of the US First Cavalry Division, the 25th Infantry Division, the British 7th Brigade, and the 29th Brigade as the core to quickly move northward without waiting for the return of the Wharton Armored Battle Group as the previous unit.

Unlike Wharton, who always wanted to annihilate the heavy fire company, Lieutenant General Van Vliet ignored the Chinese troops who passed him, and instead relied on the rapid armored mechanized force to gallop north.

His purpose was very simple, that is, to seize the traffic of the Western Front as quickly as possible, so as to close the retreat channel of the main force of the Volunteer Army on the Western Front, so as to fulfill the promise made by Lieutenant General Van Vliet at the beginning of his tenure: "The humiliation we suffered at the foot of Songhu Peak last year will be returned tenfold and hundredfold to the heads of those Chinese monkeys who have gone through the shit luck!" ”

As a result, a scene similar to the offensive battle on the Western Front in the second campaign of the Volunteer Army last year was once again staged on the Western Front, only this time the situation between the offensive and defensive sides was reversed, and the US troops that carried out the offensive had more troops, stronger firepower, and faster mobility than the Volunteer Army that carried out interspersed last year.

If other armies had encountered the rapid penetration of the United States, it is estimated that they would have been beaten dizzy long ago, because this really did not conform to the consistent combat style of the US military, and it was difficult for people to find out the combat intentions of the US military for a while, but the Volunteer Army was different, and it was an army that had already played the tactics of interspersing and encircling in the civil war.

Therefore, when the staff officer of the Zhi Division marked the marching route of the main force of the Eighth Army on the map, he immediately judged that they had the strategic intention of interspersing the rear of our army and cutting off the retreat route of the main force of the Volunteer Army on the Western Front.

But the problem is that the intention has been judged, but there is no solution, because Shiji has pressed the reserves to the Eastern Front, and now he has no troops available, where can he still stop the rapid advance of the Eighth Army?

At the critical moment, the head of the Zhi Division made a quick decision, picked up the phone, and called a retreating army, asking them to immediately stop and turn to the defense on the spot, so as to delay the momentum of the Eighth Army's advance.

However, the Eighth Army, which had strong troops, weapons and extremely ferocious firepower, could be stopped by the volunteer troops who had suffered heavy losses and hastily transferred to the defensive, and in less than a day, the main force of the Eighth Army broke through the defense line of that army, and joined the Wharton armored battle group, crossed the Imjin River, and rushed straight towards Tieyuan.

At this point, there is only one last step left before the main force of the US Eighth Army completely closes the road on the Western Front, and the main force of the entire Volunteer Army on the Western Front is in danger!
