The No. 6 position garrisoned by the 93rd Regiment was lost and regained, but for the U.S. Army, it was a gain and a loss, and Cowen, the commander of the 7th Division of the U.S. Army, was forced back before he could laugh out loud. Annoyed and angry, Cowan ordered the gathering of troops and continued to launch a more fierce attack on Position No. 6 and its affiliated heights and positions under more intense artillery fire and air support, but under the stubborn resistance of the commanders and fighters of the 93rd Regiment, the Americans' attacks were repeatedly frustrated, especially the first-class combat hero Hu Xiudao killed more than 280 enemies, and the heavy defeat caused the losses of the Americans to increase sharply.

Just when Division Commander Cowen was angry in front of Position No. 6, the American troops on the right flank of Shangganling were not idle. These two regiments were actually transferred here for use as reserves, and the Americans had also suffered losses here in the early days of the campaign, so they sent two additional regiments over for the purpose of maneuver adjustment, but now the firepower of the volunteers on the right side is obviously "very weak", so Van Vliet of the American army decided to open the situation from the right side.

The forces of the two armies were deployed here in order to be able to destroy these two American corps.

The two US regiments were ordered to attack from the right side, and after the attack was launched, the defense force of the volunteer army on the front line was "very weak", and the US troops took down a few charges, and the Chinese guarding the position "fled." "Great!" The regiment commander in charge of directing the attack on the right flank jumped up happily: "The Chinese have retreated, we have torn a gap, as long as we bravely break through, we can break the defensive balance of the Chinese in the Shangganling area!" "Commander, I think it's better to be cautious, the Chinese are very cunning, in case they set up a pocket formation again, we will be surrounded by them, in the early battle, they often did this!" The regimental chief of staff of the US army reminded. "Okay, let's report the good news first, and then wait for the order!" The commander of the American Army said. "Okay, Captain!" The regimental chief of staff of the US army said immediately.

"Commander, our two regiments on the right flank have successfully broken through the Chinese defenses!" Van Vliet's chief of staff ran over happily and said. "Is this true?" Van Vliet said as if he had seen a treasure: "Order the Air Force to send fighters to reconnoiter their front, let them send advance troops to conduct defensive tests, and if they do not find Chinese troops, immediately break through!" "However, their regimental chief of staff thinks this is a trap!" Van Vliet's chief of staff said. "This time it doesn't have to be a full set, before they counterattacked, we didn't detect that they had a new main army rushing to support!" Van Vliet thought for a moment and said: "The Chinese's artillery bombardment is very fierce on the center line and the left side, but the fire on the right side is limited, which shows that they do not have enough artillery and troops, otherwise this situation will not occur, you tell their regiment commander, carefully reconnoitre, quickly break through, open the breakthrough of the battle!" "Yes!" Van Vliet's chief of staff immediately agreed!

"The command's order for us to advance quickly, that means that the enemy is really retreating, if they want to set up a pocket formation for us, then they need to overtake our troops, but no! If there are signs of a large-scale movement of the enemy, the command will definitely know," the regimental commander said after reading the order, "order the troops to advance quickly!" "Commander, are we going to send the forward troops first?" said the regimental chief of staff of the US military. "No need, immediately rush to the rear of Shangganling and attack!" The American legion said loudly. "Yes!"

In the first stage of artillery preparation, Liu Hai deliberately lowered the amount of fire on the right position, just to confuse the Americans. The Volunteer Army has been in a situation of shortage of food and ammunition for a long time, and when it usually fires fire suppression and coverage shooting, it is fired by a stopwatch, and once the time comes, it will stop shooting immediately, and it is also stipulated that a single bunker or fortification cannot be attacked with shells, just to save shells, because every shell will kill people, so the artillery fire of the Volunteer Army is simply the same as setting off firecrackers in the eyes of the Americans, but this time the volunteers fought for four hours of artillery cover, which surprised the Americans a lot, Now the fire on the right side is insufficient, that is definitely the Volunteer Army artillery or artillery shells are not enough, which is why a large number of artillery fire is concentrated in the direction of the main position and the sixth position, and the Americans are convinced of this!

"Since there are not enough artillery, then they will not deploy a lot of troops on the right side, because compared to the main position of Shangganling and the sixth position, the value of the right side is much lower!" The regimental commander of the US military said confidently to the anxious chief of staff. "I hope you're right!" said the chief of staff of the US military. "As long as we can kill the rear of Shangganling and cut off their supply and retreat, even if they don't surrender, they will definitely not last long!" The regimental commander of the US military said confidently. "Okay!" The chief of staff nodded yes. "If we can take the Five Holy Mountains, then we can advance rapidly on the main road of Pingkang, give full play to our firepower and mechanization advantages, and the Chinese will be even more powerful..." "Report!" The commander of the American Army, who was talking about it and dreaming of a big victory, was interrupted by a report!

"We've found an enemy blockade ahead!" A regimental staff officer of the U.S. Army reports. "Kill them in ten minutes, then move on!" The American Legion Commander still said proudly. "Commander, we have encountered the enemy's resistance, this is very likely to be a problem, we are still..." "It doesn't matter, the Chinese don't have enough artillery and troops evenly scattered along the entire Shangganling defense line!" The commander of the American Army said. "Let's contact the other regiment, it's better to take precautions, our assault speed is too fast, our two regiments have already distanced themselves!" The chief of staff said again. "Riseley, that stupid man, he's always slow! Leave him alone, move forward as soon as you break through! ”

The blind self-confidence of the American army commander made him step by step into the encirclement of the two armies of the Volunteer Army, but it was because the American army commander distanced himself from the American army behind him that he saved the life of the American army. The reason is that the ambush location chosen by the two armies is limited in length, and if the two US regiments can go hand in hand, they can be annihilated in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that the two regiments of the US army would open up the distance, and if they did not attack, the US regiment in front would slip away, but if they fought, the US regiment in the back would definitely slip away. The commander of the Volunteer Army in charge of the command made a quick decision to kill the American army in front of him first, and as for the one in the back who could fight the best, he ran and pulled it down! However, in order to successfully eliminate the American army in front of him, the commander of the Volunteer Army still sent a unit to detour back to the road when the American army came, preparing to block the possible rescue of the American army!

"Order the artillery to shoot, and be sure to try to kill half of the American soldiers with shells!" The commander gave the order to attack! As soon as the attack began, it was covered by two artillery divisions deployed on the right side with fire! The artillery bombardment on the whole front was not able to let go of the attack because it wanted to confuse the enemy, but now it is different, the two artillery divisions are full of firepower, and in an instant they hit the American troops with batches of shells. The commander of the American regiment, who asserted that there was no large number of volunteers, was killed by a shell at the first time, and the command staff around him was also lost, and the regimental command of this American regiment was eliminated in the first round of artillery fire.

"Rush!" After the artillery bombardment ended, the volunteers of the two armies launched an attack with superior forces, and the overwhelming impact panicked the American troops who had lost their command! But the US army is the US army after all, and under the command of some junior officers, the US army still formed a circle with cars and armored vehicles in accordance with its own tactical habits, formed a circular fire position, and then called for air support and friendly rescue! The call of the surrounded American Legion soon reached Van Vliet, who did not dare to slack off and immediately ordered air support, and urged the American Army behind to follow up and rescue! In the face of the US army's ring fire fortifications, the volunteers who could not attack it for a while were very dangerous, and once the US air force support arrived, the attacking troops would be exposed under the wings of the US planes.

"Order the troops to retreat three hundred meters!" said the commander of the Volunteer Army. "Yes!" The staff officer of the military headquarters quickly passed on the order, and the volunteers who surrounded the attack immediately retreated back three hundred meters. Is it to retreat 300 meters in order to attack again with the whole army? No. Is the retreat of 300 meters to reduce casualties? No. The reason for the retreat of three hundred meters is that in the artillery on the right flank there is also a rocket artillery division. In order to be able to destroy this US army in the shortest possible time, the rocket artillery division has not opened fire until now, and after a burst of whistling, the dense * fell into the ring fortifications of the US army, and the wounded, cars, and armored vehicles of the US army were under such intensive artillery fire, and few people died soon, and the so-called ring fortifications did not exist! The troops of the Volunteer Army launched a charge and completely wiped out the encircled American legions!

The American regiment in the back, although it received a rescue order, but because it was behind the position of the volunteers, it was very worried that it would be surrounded and wiped out like the regiment in front, so after encountering the blocking position of the volunteers, it turned around and retreated after a few shots!

The troops on the right flank successfully encircled and annihilated the American regiment, which represented the victorious end of the first stage of the Shangganling counterattack. In the first stage of the counterattack, the Volunteers recaptured the main peak position of the Shangganling position, the left flank kept the No. 6 position unlost, and the right flank wiped out a regiment of the American army. The next step is to enter the counterattack stage of the US military!
