Chapter 173: The Han Army Returning to the Light (Supplement)
It was none other than Lee Won-ki, who was defeated by the Volunteers on Highway No. 9 in northern Korea more than 20 days ago, but the rank on Lee Won-ki's shoulders at this time was no longer a low-ranking second lieutenant, but a major with more power. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Returning to Gaosheng after defeat is an outlier in any country, and Li Yuanji is no exception, it stands to reason that Li Yuanji, who climbed back to the south of the Qingchuan River, can retain his original position, and it would be good to be guilty of meritorious service, but he didn't think that he was lucky to catch up with the god-making movement in South Korea to boost morale.
The reason why South Korea is like this is also helpless, the losses of the South Korean army in the first battle are quite large, whether it is an encounter or a positional offensive and defensive battle, they were defeated by the Chinese army, compared to the United States and other countries' armies, the losses are relatively small. , the comparison between the two, and the fact that most of the soldiers of the South Korean army were forcibly recruited by arresting strong men, so whether it is morale or combat effectiveness, no one dares to say that it is the first among the United Nations forces.
In order to boost the morale of the armed forces and rebuild the determination of the so-called "reunification," the South Korean government launched a huge campaign to create gods, hoping to use "heroic" figures to inspire the South Korean people to continue fighting.
After some packaging and whitewashing, Li Yuanji's escape turned into a "lonely hero" who stayed behind enemy lines and bravely killed the enemy, and even his status rose to the top, and he was directly promoted from second lieutenant to major, and the number of troops under his command also expanded several times, and he became the commander of the first battalion.
However, in the face of the sudden great benefits, Li Yuanji, who is very self-aware, is very sober, because he knows that he can get the glory that others dream of, not because of how good he really is, but because of the needs of the Americans, for no other reason, just because he was a first-hand witness in the entire encounter on Route 9.
From this, the US military concluded that Li Yuanji should have an intuitive understanding of the composition of the Chinese army's troops, equipment, basic tactics, and tactical principles that others could not match, and in particular, after the US 1st Cavalry Division was attacked, it was discovered that the Chinese army's individual equipment was no worse than theirs, and even better than it in some respects.
The so-called "artillery group fire coverage" that followed made the US military feel particularly strange afterwards, so the US military had to find a person who had completely witnessed the entire battle at that time to understand the real inside story, and it was obvious that Li Yuanji met the requirements of the US military in every aspect.
Although Li Yuanji took saving his life as his first priority on the battlefield, and even sometimes he was very greedy for life and afraid of death, he was not a stupid person, and when he saw that the Americans' interest in him had increased sharply, he knew that his opportunity had come, so Li Yuanji described the Chinese army seven points truthfully and three points falsely.
Later, he added some of his own personal feelings, and he coaxed the Americans to be comfortable with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, which made many US soldiers praise him and give him a nickname: "The South Koreans who know the Chinese army best."
With this nickname, Li Yuanji can be said to be famous in the entire United Nations army, and the South Korean government can naturally not wait to ignore it when it sees this, and even the Americans look down on Li Yuanji, how can they be snubbed, otherwise it will be tantamount to singing against their ancestors?
After the United Nations Army launched the "Christmas Offensive", it was entrusted with the important task of becoming the most elite capital division of the South Korean army, which is now the battalion commander of the 8th Korean Division.
The Korean 7th Division in Tokugawa was in an emergency, and the Korean 8th Division, which was located in the direction of the left flank, naturally could not sit idly by, so it immediately instructed Li Yuanji to form a strong battalion-level battle group and rush to the aid of the Korean 7th Division as the advance team of the Korean 8th Division.
After all, his current glory is not solid, and many officers of the South Korean army who know the inside story are watching his jokes, so Li Yuanji urgently needs a hearty victory to really get the nickname of "the Korean who knows the Chinese army best", not to mention that he has been in the army for so long, and it doesn't just mean to escape, but the basic military vision is still there, so after retreating to the south of the Qingchuan River, he carefully studied the Chinese army, and the result really made him explore a set of effective tactics:
The Chinese army's fully automatic rifles and "small steel cannons" are not powerful, so he will be equipped with large-caliber heavy machine guns such as M2, thus forming a dense network of one or two layers to completely suppress China's two so-called new weapons; As for the Chinese army's best skills of interspersing and dividing, encircling points to send reinforcements, and mysterious explosives, Li Yuanji's method of dealing with it was to scatter a large number of reconnaissance troops and engineering units to probe the movements of the Chinese army along the road and eliminate possible explosive devices, and at the same time strengthen the forces on both flanks to avoid being divided and surrounded.
Not to mention, this set of tactics is quite effective, not long ago in the offensive operation, the 3rd Regiment of the 8th South Korean Division used his tactics to successfully withstand the counter-assault of the Chinese army, not only preventing it from penetrating from both flanks, but also almost cooperating with other South Korean troops to wrap this Chinese army into dumplings.
Seeing this, Li Yuanji was both happy and regretful, and his happiness was naturally a success in his tactics, and as for regret, it was very simple, that battle was not commanded by him, so it was not enough to block the mouth of the South Korean army. However, this battle gave him strong confidence, so he firmly believed that as long as he fought steadily, he would definitely make the Chinese army that raided the 7th Division of the Republic of Korea unable to eat and go.
"Report to the sir, no enemy has been found on the two wings!"
While Li Yuanji was sitting in the car and thinking wildly, a report from the communications staff officer sitting in the back seat of the car pulled him back from the wandering of his thoughts to reality, which was his death order, and he had to report on the surrounding situation every few minutes to prevent the Chinese army from possible interspersed and surprise attacks.
Obviously, this is just a routine report, Li Yuanji didn't ask too much when he saw that there was nothing to do, he just waved his hand in a chic manner, and was ready to continue to ponder, but at this moment, there was a sudden anxious shout from the communication machine in the back seat of the car, and the communication staff officer immediately picked up the headset, and his face suddenly changed dramatically, and he immediately reported to Li Yuanji in a hurry: "Sir, the Chinese army was found head-on, and they ...... They...... They seem to be coming at us! ”
"No intersperses, no raids, just pounced? Do these Chinese really think that we are also instigated like the Han 7th Division? It's just looking for death, ordering the troops, according to the established defense plan, to prepare...... Bang bang ~~~~"
Li Yuanji was still unhurriedly scared of the order, but just as he was about to say it, the battle was still squeaking in his throat and he didn't say it, just as he suddenly heard a series of dull explosions, and then a terrifying scene that he would never forget for a lifetime, so that he could no longer say the rest of his words......
