Chapter 176: The Counteroffensive Begins!

In the face of the powerful offensive of the US army, Shiji reacted quickly and adopted the tactic of "topping from the west to the east".

The so-called "putting the west on top of the east" means that the western front withstands the powerful offensive of the US army, and the eastern front concentrates superior forces to launch a rapid attack.

Soon after Wu Qianlibu arrived on the south bank, he also received a telegram and immediately rushed to the battlefield on the Eastern Front to cooperate with the counteroffensive of our army's main force.

After some time, the various combat units took advantage of the darkness of the night and soon reached the forefront of the Eastern Front.

Eastern Front command post, inside the operational command hall

"Wu Qianli, I've heard of your boy's reputation for a long time, and today I finally met me, hahaha......

The commander looked at Wu Qianli and said with a slight smile.

"The commander praised it falsely, Qianli is just lucky, and this is a little meritorious, and it is not worth mentioning at all."

Wu Qianli smiled slightly.

"Alright, don't be modest, we won't do this."

"I heard the boss praise you for your kid's vicious strategic vision and unique playing style, tell me how do you think you will fight next?"

The commander looked directly into Wu Qianli's eyes, obviously wanting to take the school exam.

"Good! A little humble opinion should be a brick and a jade."

"On the Eastern Front, although we have mobilized a large number of elite troops, it is not realistic to quickly crush the American army."

Wu Qianli pointed to the US military logo on the combat map and shook his head.

"Go on."

The corners of the commander's mouth rose slightly, and he raised his hand and said.

He has seen Wu Qianli's record, which is indeed brilliant, but it is too reckless and risky.

Originally, he thought that Wu Qianli would make a big fuss, but he didn't expect to admit the difficulties first.

"Although the U.S. military is difficult to bite, it is completely different to point the main attack direction to the South Korean army."

"You see, the puppet Korean Eighth Division is used as an auxiliary to defend the flank of the American army's eastern front."

"As long as we allocate elites and quickly defeat the puppet Korean Eighth Division, there will be gaps in the flanks of the US army's defensive line."

"In this way, we can use this gap to threaten their entire defense."

"As long as the army takes advantage of the night to storm on, it will be crushed on all fronts!"

Wu Qianli looked at the commander and said with a smile.

"Hahahahahaha...... Okay!"

"You kid went with me."

"Who can't pick a soft persimmon and pinch it, let's talk about the specific deployment."

The commander looked at Wu Qianli's eyes with some appreciation, but he was not surprised.

"Then let's talk about it, if there is anything inappropriate, please correct it."

Wu Qianli saw through the commander's mind and said with a smile.

"First of all, the elite 117th Division should be allowed to advance to the northwest of Hengcheng and cut off the western retreat of the Puppet Han Eighth Division."

"Order the main force of the 66th Army to advance to the southeast of Hengcheng and cut off the eastern retreat of the Han Eighth Division."

"Then, the 125th Division detoured back to the southwest of Hengcheng and set up an ambush position, ready to ambush the support forces of the American army at any time."

"The 39th Army is interspersed with the dragon's head, staring at the American troops in Toping, and if they dare to move, they will hit hard."

"In the end, I ordered the 40th Army to storm the position of the Eighth Korean Division with a thunderous force."

"In this way, the battle is decided!"

Wu Qianli clenched his fist with his right hand and smashed it the combat map.

Silence, the silence of the pin drop in the command hall

The commander looked at Wu Qianli with wide eyes, and suddenly a storm broke out in his heart.

"Wu Qianli, the boss is right, you kid is really a fucking military genius!"

The commander quickly calmed down and praised him heartily.

"Commander, I'm just lucky."

Wu Qianli blushed and said with a little shame.

"Alright, those polite words don't need to be said."

"I originally thought that the boss gave you a battlefield that was too big for you to coordinate and command."

"Now it seems that the Gang Seven Regiment will become a knife hidden in the shadows,

Pierce at the most critical point of the battlefield at any time."

"Go ahead, follow your ideas and find worthy targets, I will not interfere with your tactical command."

The commander waved his hand and said.

"Yes!"

Wu Qianli responded loudly, left the command post, and walked towards the headquarters of the Seventh Regiment. ………………………………………………

Soon, the big counteroffensive began

On the Eastern Front, the elite main force of our army launched a fierce attack on the puppet Korean Eighth Division in accordance with the battle plan.

At the beginning, the puppet Han 8th Division resolutely resisted for a while, and with great difficulty repelled the tentative attack of the vanguard of our army.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of the puppet Han Eighth Division hurriedly wanted to call for US support.

But before the signal for help was issued, our army launched a formal attack.

Under the fierce extension of the artillery fire, countless soldiers killed the position.

A large number of grassroots troops of the puppet Korean Eighth Division retreated, and many units surrendered in formations.

The commander seized the rare fighter opportunity and ordered to take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle.

Soon, the puppet Korean Eighth Division completely collapsed on the way to retreat, and all the formations of the Korean soldiers were scattered.

By this time, the U.S. military's support had finally arrived "belatedly".

In fact, the US army was not too late to come, mainly because the offensive of our army was too fierce, and the rout of the Korean Eighth Division was too fast.

The 9th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the US Army hurried slowly, and when it was halfway to the kill, it happened to collide with our troops who were pursuing the puppet Korean soldiers.

Both sides were unprepared and went straight to an encounter.

The 9th Regiment of the 2nd Division of the US Army relied on fierce firepower to build improvised defensive positions on the spot to block our troops.

The commander mobilized superior forces and launched a large-scale attack on the US troops.

However, the firepower of the Ninth Regiment of the US Army was too fierce, and there was the support of a large number of tanks and bombers, and it was impossible to gnaw for a while.

Fortunately, the puppet Han Eighth Division was defeated at the first time, and the U.S. Ninth Regiment was alone, so it had to slowly retreat to Hengcheng.

At this time, Wu Qianli led the Seventh Regiment to the rear of the First Regiment of the US Army, and put on a posture of cutting off its rear road.

In addition, the main forces of our army on the eastern front launched a fierce attack on three sides of the enemy city, and a large amount of artillery fire lit up the night.

Seeing that the casualties were too large, the commander of the 9th Regiment of the US Army ordered the city to be abandoned and immediately break through while the encirclement was not completely closed. ……………………………………

U.S. Army Command

"What did you say?!"

「Fuck,you!」

"Those bastards withdrew without my orders!"

Ridgway angrily tore up the telegram asking for help and roared loudly.

"General, the enemy army mobilized a large number of elite regiments and routed the friendly Eighth Division in the first place."

"The Ninth Regiment held on to Hengcheng and suffered heavy casualties, so in order to avoid being completely annihilated, it had no choice but to break through."

U.S. Chief of Staff Dole lowered his head and explained in a low voice.

"No matter how fierce they are, they can only exert their power at night!"

"As long as we survive the second half of the night, it's a good time for us to fight back, and they actually retreat?"

"Let them stop at once, build a position on the spot, and stop at once."

"As soon as the morning dawns, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, launch a counterattack immediately!"

Ridgway spilled the torn telegram into the air and yelled loudly.

「yes,sir!」

Dole wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and hurriedly answered.
