Chapter 180 The Battle of Topingli on the Eastern Front Broke Out!
Allied Command, inside the Command Hall
"Report to the General!"
"The 8th Han Division was routed on the whole line, and the 2nd Division and 9th Regiment were almost completely annihilated!"
Chief of the General Staff Dole lowered his head and reported with a complicated expression.
"What?!"
"Nearly 7,000 people of the 8th Korean Division, more than 3,000 elites of the United States, plus dozens of tanks and armored vehicles, were eaten by the squadron so quickly!?"
「Fuckyou!」
"What about the Commander of the Ninth Regiment? Where did he break out with the guard company? This traitor to America! Shame!"
Li Qiwei was stunned at first, and then angrily tore up the battle report in his hand, and roared angrily with his neck stalked.
"General, calm down."
"It is said that the commander of the Ninth Regiment fought until the last moment and committed suicide by drinking bullets......
Chief of Staff Dole sighed and said slowly.
"Suicide by Drinking Bullets......
Li Qi muttered slightly, the anger in his heart gradually dissipated, and his mood changed from anger to helplessness.
Among the many officers in the US army, this regiment commander is already considered to have integrity.
"Damn, it would have been nice if he had used this determination to hold on to Hengcheng......
After Li Qiwei regained his composure, he looked at the strategic map and sighed.
"General, Yokojo on the Eastern Front and Tohei Rimoto are each other's horns and cooperate in defense."
"Now Hengcheng has been occupied by the squadron, and it is difficult to support it alone......
Chief of Staff Dole looked at the strategic map and analyzed with a frown.
"From a tactical point of view, it is indeed difficult to defend Toheiri, and it will cause heavy losses to the defenders."
"But from a strategic point of view, Tohei must not be lost!"
"Although the squadron is in full swing, they can't continue to fight after all."
"As long as Tohei-ri can hold out for a few days, and drag it until the logistics supply of the squadron is insufficient, they will definitely retreat."
"At this time, we will concentrate our forces and launch a fierce counterattack, and the squadron will definitely be defeated and even completely defeated!"
The corners of Li Qiwei's mouth hooked, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his blue eyes.
「yes,sir!」
Chief of Staff Dole nodded slightly, understood Ridgway's determination, and instead went to the staff headquarters to draw up a specific plan.
Soon, the Allied General Staff drew up a plan for the Toheing-ri operation, and Li Qiwei immediately signed and agreed.
After the order was issued, the U.S. forces on the Eastern Front began to adjust the defensive line around Toheeong-ri and mobilized a large number of weapons and ammunition to support Toheong-ri.
A small flat is crammed into more than 5,000 Allied elites, and it is equipped with extremely strong firepower.
Shiji also reacted quickly, mobilized the Gang 7th Regiment and the main forces of the 39th Army to outflank them in a roundabout way, and soon advanced to the vicinity of Tohei-ri. ………………………………………………
Just the headquarters of the Seventh Regiment
"Commander, the casualty report looks much better than I thought!"
"Most of the wounded have not been infected, and they are healing surprisingly quickly, and it is estimated that they will soon be able to enter the fight."
Mei Sheng handed the casualty report to Wu Qianli and said in surprise.
"Nonsense, this is one of the ultimate permanent rewards for our battle of Changjin Lake, if it doesn't work, I'll have to scold my mother."
Wu Qianli was secretly proud in his heart, but his face was impassive.
"Regiment commander, the firepower battalion has replaced the damaged Browning heavy machine gun and refilled the ammunition, this American devil is really fat!"
Yu Congrong leaned over and laughed.
"Yes, I was worried that the artillery battalion's shells were used up too quickly, and as a result, there were so many captures that I couldn't move them, so I simply left them for friendly troops."
Lei Gong took a puff of dry tobacco pouch and said with a smile.
In the battle of ambushing the 9th Regiment of the US Army, the 7th Regiment played an irreplaceable role.
Therefore, the friendly troops were very humble, and let the Gang 7 Regiment challenge the loot first, and leave the rest to them.
The soldiers of the Seventh Regiment directly came to a big change
New, the weapons and ammunition are all the best, and the firepower is a little stronger than at the beginning.
If it weren't for the fear that the ammunition would wear out too quickly and the logistical supply would not be able to keep up, the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment would have picked Thomson and 3 submachine guns and taken them away.
"Okay, we did fight beautifully in the battle of Hengcheng, but we can't take it lightly, the battle of Tohei-ri is the hard stubble."
Wu Qianli smiled slightly, pressed down with his hands, and said slowly.
"Brother, you've said many times that it's hard to bite in Tohei, our Seoul has fallen, are you still afraid of a small Tohei-ri?"
Wu Wanli scratched the back of his head and asked unconvinced.
"The recovery of Seoul was entirely due to the fact that the Battle of Changjin Lake defeated too many American troops, and they were not strong enough to shrink their defensive lines."
"If the American devils had made up their minds to defend Seoul, we would still be fighting outside the city."
Wu Qianli smiled and analyzed Wu Wanli.
"Commander, whether it's a donkey or a horse, you have to pull it out and slip away!"
"Since Seoul was given up by the American devils, let's storm the Tohei-ri they are defending to see the real chapter."
Yu Congrong waved his hand very domineeringly, and his heart was full of fighting intent.
Wu Qianli looked at the others again and found that except for Pinghe and Mei Sheng, they basically looked like arrogant soldiers.
"Huh...... It is no wonder that our army suffered in history, and the battle of Changjin Lake was fought so well that many soldiers despised the US army a little."
Wu Qianli shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed in his heart.
"Regiment Commander, according to the reconnaissance battalion's reconnaissance, the U.S. military forces in Tohei are definitely more than the two battalions mentioned by the intelligence."
"In the past few days, the U.S. military has sent a lot of reinforcements, as well as a lot of heavy firepower and ammunition, I'm afraid Tohei-ri has been armed into an 'iron wall, just waiting for us to collide with it.'"
Pinghe handed over the specific report of the investigation to Wu Qianli and sighed.
"Yes, Commander, the terrain conditions in Tohei-ri are too good, and it is not conducive to the deployment of our army's large forces at all, it is simply easy to defend and difficult to attack."
"If you attack rashly and can't attack for a long time, you will definitely suffer a big loss, and then our Gang Seventh Regiment may be beaten back to Chenggang Seventh Company......
Mei Sheng hesitated for a moment and voiced his worries.
"You're right to be worried, but who said that the Seventh Regiment was going to participate in the Battle of Tohei-ri?"
Wu Qianli smiled slightly and asked rhetorically.
"Brother, aren't we going to do our best to help our allies and win the battle on the Eastern Front? You can't sit idly by."
Wu Wanli was stunned for a moment, and asked a little confused.
"I dare to assert that the battle of Tohei-ri will be lost!"
"The elite of our Seventh Regiment has just been thrown into this strangulation, and it won't help much in the battle situation at all."
"Our opportunity lies in pretending to be defeated after the Battle of Tohei-ri, luring Ridgway to launch a counteroffensive, and then taking the opportunity to nail the main force of the US army and kill and injure a large number of its living forces."
"In this way, the fourth battle can remain undefeated, and we can continue to occupy Seoul and pull the battle line near the 38th parallel."
Wu Qianli looked at the strategic map and analyzed it carefully.
"Near the 38th parallel?"
"Brother, can't we fight all the way through and liberate the entire Korean Peninsula?"
Wu Wanli frowned a little puzzled and asked.
"Silly boy, we're fighting the U.S. military here, and the logistics supply lines are already in tatters."
"If you continue to go deeper, you will run out of ammunition at any time."
Mei Sheng shook his head and said helplessly.
"Not only that, even if we win successive battles and fight all the way south to Busan, it will only be the advantage of the army."
"The U.S. army can land at Inchon again at any time to cut off our army's retreat, and then the battle line will have to be pressed near the Yalu River."
Wu Qianli looked at the strategic map and said soberly.
"Captain, what are you going to do?"
Mei Sheng understood that Wu Qianli had already made a calculation, and hurriedly asked
。
"First of all, telegraph to Shiji, warn of the situation in Tohei-ri, and hope that the friendly forces will suffer less losses."
"Then, if the Battle of Tohein-ri is won, the Gang 7th Regiment can directly intersperse, build a blocking position in the rear of the American army, block the retreating American army, and cooperate with the friendly forces on the Eastern Front to annihilate them!"
"If the Battle of Topyeong-ri is lost, I hope that Shiji will mobilize troops and cooperate with the Seventh Regiment to build a defensive position in the Hwacheon area, bite the pursuing soldiers of the American army, and make them kowtow and break their blood!"
Wu Qianli clenched his fist in his right hand, slammed it on the strategic map, and ordered.
"Yes!"
Mei Sheng immediately responded and prepared to generate electricity.
