At dawn, the command of the "United Nations Forces".

A U.S. staff officer greeted him and reported, "General, telegram from the front." ”

"The Chinese army launched another fierce offensive last night, and the South Korean troops in various defensive lines suffered heavy losses, generally retreating 10 to 15 kilometers back."

"Especially their 6th Division, which suffered the heaviest losses, the 6th Division was completely defeated and could no longer form a combat force."

“Fuck，you！”

Li Qiwei scolded angrily: "A group of rice buckets, such a division commander, what's the use of keeping them." ”

The American staff officer hurriedly said: "General, the commander of the 6th Division, has already died in battle. ”

"What?"

"He's dead."

Li Qi was slightly stunned for a moment, and his attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he hurriedly said: "This is the real soldier, if they are their commanders, they can be like this division commander, take the lead and fight bloodily, why did they lose so badly." ”

"An excellent commander like this should be vigorously rewarded, publicized, and called on all people to learn from this division commander."

Hearing this, the US military staff officers were stunned and couldn't react for a while.

After a while, he hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes, I will do it." ”

The reason why Li Qiwei is like this, speaking of which, is because the combat effectiveness of these South Korean troops is too weak.

Therefore, Li Qiwei hopes to set up a model to improve the morale of the troops, and then improve their combat effectiveness, and at the moment this Jin Zhongwu is a good candidate.

So Li Qiwei didn't ask how he died, and directly characterized this matter.

It is necessary to vigorously publicize and promote him as a heroic figure, a combat hero.

If Jin Zhongwu knew this, it is estimated that Jiuquan would also be grateful to this Li Qiwei.

Li Qiwei walked quickly to the front of the sand table, stared at the sand table and said: "The Chinese army is advancing so fast, overnight, it has basically advanced to our second line of defense. ”

At this time, an American colonel said: "The main reason is that these South Korean troops are too weak in combat, if it weren't for their incompetence, the first line of defense would definitely not have collapsed so quickly." ”

Li Qiwei said: "Originally, I didn't have much hope for these guys, and it was good that they could buy us two more days." ”

"But they retreated, and we can't let them be idle, let them organize as soon as possible and continue to assist us in our defense."

"We must be on the second line of defense, hold off the attack of the Chinese army, drag them down, and completely drag them down."

“yes sir!”

The American colonel hurriedly responded, and then pointed to the sand table and said: "Our army has built a large number of fortifications, and they are all built on the basis of favorable terrain. ”

"The terrain here is very suitable for positional warfare, and the Chinese army has insufficient firepower, so the attack power is seriously insufficient."

"As long as we hold these positions, the whole line of defense is safe and they won't have any chances."

Li Qiwei nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "According to our comprehensive intelligence from all aspects, the logistics support of the Chinese army is still seriously insufficient. ”

"Their supplies can't support a large-scale battle for too long, so as long as we can hold them back, it only takes about ten days, and we can completely drag them down, and then we counterattack, they will definitely be defeated."

"Therefore, we don't need to rush now, the defeat on the battlefield is only temporary."

It can be seen that now Li Qiwei is also constantly cheering for these soldiers under his command, so that they can maintain their vigorous combat effectiveness.

The American colonel said: "There is just one point, the Chinese army will choose to attack at night. ”

Li Qiwei nodded slightly and said, "This problem can be solved, so that our soldiers can also rest during the day and fight at night." ”

"Of course, during the day, we can't be idle, we can send planes to bomb them, or we can launch a certain counteroffensive in appropriate places."

"We must make full use of our advantages and attack our Chinese army as much as possible."

"In some suitable places, using our heavy armor clusters to launch a proper counteroffensive against them, I think it will definitely work well as well."

The American colonel said: "What the general said is extremely true, then I will immediately send the instructions of His Excellency the general to all units, so that they can launch a counteroffensive according to the actual situation." ”

…………………………………………

At noon on the same day, the headquarters of the Volunteer Army.

The boss walked quickly to the front of the sand table.

Chief of Staff Xie said: "This morning, the US military launched a series of counteroffensive operations in some areas. ”

The boss said with a serious face: "It is necessary to block the counterattack of the US army, and concentrate the forces to launch another large-scale attack at night." ”

"We must strive to defeat the main force of the US army as soon as possible, so that our army can further advance to the south and achieve the strategic plan."

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie hurriedly responded and said: "Please rest assured, boss, our army will definitely be able to rely on the existing defense line to resist the counterattack of the US army." ”

"The troops are also stepping up preparations to launch a new offensive in the evening."

The boss said with a serious face: "Judging from the current situation, the preparations of the US military are also very sufficient. ”

"Their purpose is also very clear, which is to stop our attack and then drag us down."

"If the battle drags on for too long, it will have an extremely adverse impact on our army, so we still have to seize the time and achieve greater results as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie replied and said: "At the beginning, the U.S. military let those South Korean troops be cannon fodder in the front, and now their South Korean troops on the front line have basically been defeated by us. ”

"Now we continue to attack, and we are facing the main force of the US army."

The boss nodded slightly and said: "Those South Korean troops are not strong in combat, there is nothing to boast about defeating them, the real battle has just begun." ”

"Inform all units not to take it lightly, and to go all out to defeat the main force of the US army as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie hurriedly responded.

…………………………

Just the headquarters of the Seventh Regiment

Wu Qianli took a bite of canned beef and asked, "Commissar Mei, has the order come down?" ”

Mei Sheng glanced at Wu Qianli, and said helplessly: "Regiment commander, I just received an order, our regiment is temporarily resting and not participating in tonight's attack." ”

Yu Congrong, who was on the side, heard this, and said with some disappointment: "This battle has just begun, how can we be replaced." ”

Mei Sheng said helplessly: "This is the arrangement of the superiors, and the regiment commander has no choice but to obey the order." ”

"But if everything is normal, tomorrow night, we will definitely change it."

Wu Qianli lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said thoughtfully: "Judging from the current situation, the US military is more prepared this time. ”

"Their advantages can be brought into play to the greatest extent possible, which is very unfavorable for our army."

"So the next battle, I'm afraid it will be more and more difficult to fight."

Mei Sheng said: "No matter how difficult it is, we must strive to win this battle. ”

"The situation has developed to this point, it depends on who can hold out to the end."

Wu Qianli nodded slightly and said, "I also believe that we will definitely be able to achieve the final victory." ”

…………………………

That night, the night sky was starless

The main force of the Volunteer Army once again launched a full-scale offensive.

Wu Qianli came to the top of a hill close to the front line and looked around.

In the distance, the heroic volunteer soldiers launched fierce attacks again and again in the face of the powerful artillery fire of the US army.

The fighting became more and more intense, and the resistance of the American army was also very tenacious.

Wu Qianli observed for a moment and said, "The U.S. army on the opposite side should be the 24th Division, right?" ”

Mei Sheng next to him nodded and said, "According to the information I got, it is the 24th Division of the US Army." ”

Wu Qianli suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but show a smile.

This matter is related to this US 24th Division.

The U.S. 24th Division was the first batch of U.S. troops to participate in the battle, which landed in Pusan at that time, and was severely damaged by the North Korean Army during the Daejeon blockade.

At that time, the commander of the US 24th Division was Major General Dean, and it is said that Dean was still very brave in battle.

When the battle was at its fiercest, the division commander of this major general actually personally led a unit to the battlefield.

As a result, the major general and division commander never recovered, and he completely lost contact.

At that time, the U.S. military really couldn't find this Dean division commander, so they appointed a new division commander.

Later, it could only be judged that the major general and division commander died in battle, and the president at that time also awarded him an honorary certificate for his heroic death.

However, the Major General Dean did not actually die, and he was in the prisoner of war camp at this time.

It turned out that in that battle, the army he led was defeated by the Northern Korean army.

His headquarters was also scattered, and the major general, division commander, adjutant and others rushed into the mountains to take refuge.

The conditions in the barren mountains and mountains were difficult, and one night, Major General Dean insisted on going out alone to find water to drink.

As a result, Major General Dean accidentally rolled down the mountain stream in the dark, and since then he has been alone, completely losing contact with the troops.

But this guy had a big life, he got his life back, and he wandered around the mountains alone for 36 days.

I got lost, and I really couldn't turn around, but fortunately, this guy had a strong ability to survive in the wild, and he miraculously survived.

Unfortunately, he did not return to his unit in the end, and after 36 days of wandering, he was still captured and then imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp in the Northern Dynasties.

36 days of survival in the jungle made this Major General Dean lose weight from 88 kilograms to 58 kilograms.

I lost sixty pounds, and when I was caught, I was already hungry and only skin and bones were left.

Fortunately, this guy had a big life and finally survived.

It was not until more than three years later, when the war was over, that he was repatriated.

When Major General Dean returned home and saw the honorary certificate of his heroic death hanging on the wall, he was also full of emotion.

Wu Qianli couldn't help but laugh when he remembered this joke.

Compared with the aces of the 1st Marine Division and the 1st Cavalry Division, the combat effectiveness of the US 24th Division is much weaker.

However, due to the fact that the US troops were well prepared and had strong defensive positions, the firepower was also quite ferocious.

Therefore, the attacking volunteer soldiers were still stubbornly resisted, and the battle fell into a stalemate, and the fighting was very fierce.

Wu Qianli slowly put down the binoculars and said, "The attack is blocked, and it is estimated that we should be replaced tomorrow." ”

"But that's not what I want to see, and I just hope that friendly forces can crush this American force as soon as possible."

Mei Sheng said: "The strength of the US army is still not weak, but even tonight, we cannot break through their defense line, after this night of fighting, we can greatly consume the strength of the US army." ”

"By the time we attack tomorrow, we will be able to crush them in one fell swoop."

Wu Qianli said with a serious face: "Go back to sleep, recuperate enough, and kill these dogs tomorrow." (End of chapter)
