At this moment, Wu Qianli, with Pinghe and others, also launched an attack on an American military position from behind.

Pinghe drove the M16 anti-aircraft gun truck, Wu Qianli set up a machine gun, and the others followed behind and advanced together.

At this time, I happened to see a large number of American soldiers, who retreated from the front position.

Wu Qianli didn't say a word, and aimed at these American soldiers with a machine gun.

"Da Da Da Da~!"

Dense gunfire rang out, and bullets flew towards the American troops like raindrops.

"Puff~!"

Bullets flew towards the US military contingent one after another, and suddenly set off a bloody storm.

I saw that the American soldiers who ran back were swept to the ground one after another, and they were killed and wounded in an instant.

The U.S. troops behind were so frightened that they lay on the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, some US troops scattered in a panic.

Wu Jin and others also raised their guns and opened fire on these American soldiers.

After a while, Mei Sheng also led someone to chase after him.

Wu Qianli saw that in the distance, the volunteers had caught up, so he stopped shooting.

The American soldiers who lay on the ground and did not have time to escape were all captured by the volunteer soldiers who rushed up.

Wu Qianli and they successfully met with Mei Sheng and the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment.

Wu Qianli said to Mei Sheng with a smile: "The command of the US army has been terminated by us, and the US army is in chaos now. ”

Mei Sheng nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Commander, we have a seventy percent chance of winning this battle!" ”

"It's just...... The attack on the friendly side didn't go too well! ”

Wu Qianli smiled slightly and said, "Let's meet them from the side, it is estimated that we can easily defeat the American army." ”

"Now the entire defense line of the US military is on the verge of collapse, several important positions have been broken through, resulting in the interruption of communication between various positions of the US army, coupled with the loss of unified command, under the fierce fighting, the US army is also suffering heavy casualties."

"In the face of this chaotic situation, the US 65th Regiment was no longer able to withstand the onslaught of our army.

Wu Qianli said, took out the map, raised his hand and pointed, and said, "Look! From here, intersperse the past, launch an attack, flank the American positions on both sides, assist friendly forces, and eliminate the American troops over there. ”

"Good!"

Mei Sheng nodded, indicating that there was no objection.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Wu Qianli, the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment attacked the US positions attacked by friendly troops from the flanks and rear.

And at this moment, under the attack of friendly forces, the US military was already somewhat unable to parry.

The sudden entry of the Seventh Regiment into the battle was undoubtedly a sharp blade that pierced into the hearts of the US troops, and instantly killed the US troops.

The U.S. positions were quickly overcome, and some of the U.S. troops were wiped out due to resistance, and only a few U.S. troops took advantage of the chaos to escape, but the surrounding area had been surrounded by volunteers, and their escape was only temporary, and there was nowhere to escape.

There are also some US troops, seeing that the situation is not good, directly raised their hands and surrendered, after all, these US troops do not want to die in vain.

Friendly forces in other directions have also made breakthroughs, and at this moment the defense line of the American army has completely collapsed and can no longer form effective resistance.

The Volunteer Army took the opportunity to strengthen the offensive, and in the end, most of the remaining American troops surrendered voluntarily, and a small part was annihilated.

The US 65th Regiment was completely annihilated by our troops.

After the battle, it was already dawn, and the soldiers began to hurry up and clean up the battlefield.

At this time, a large number of US planes rushed to the sky over the battlefield, but they found that there were a large number of US prisoners on the ground mixed with the ranks of the volunteers, and the US troops did not dare to bomb easily.

Only part of the area was bombed, and it flew north.

The news soon reached Shiji.

The boss was also very happy to learn that the US 65th Regiment had been annihilated.

"Well done, good fight."

"Immediately call on all the troops who participated in the battle."

"Especially the Seventh Regiment, Wu Qianli's kid surprised me again!"

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie hurriedly responded.

The boss continued: "But after fighting for so long, our weapons, ammunition and baggage have been almost consumed, and we can no longer continue to attack large-scale offensives. ”

Chief of Staff Xie nodded and said: "And the U.S. military is also well prepared, they have all learned well, made full use of their advantages, and deliberately preserved their strength." ”

"Judging from the current situation, Li Qiwei is also deliberately preserving his strength and preparing to launch a counterattack, and now if we continue to insist on launching an offensive, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve too many results."

The boss nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's go on the defensive as much as possible." ”

"Order all troops on the front line to retreat as soon as possible, and then build a fortification from this line area as soon as possible to resist the counterattack of the US army and ensure the results of our battle."

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie hurriedly responded: "Please rest assured, boss, we will prepare as soon as possible, and there will be absolutely no problems." ”

The boss nodded slightly and said: "The battle situation has developed to this situation, it seems that it is impossible for us to want a quick victory, and we must be prepared for a long-term battle." ”

Chief of Staff Xie nodded and said: "The Korean Peninsula, in such a palm-sized place, even if we continue to advance step by step, we can drive them all into the sea sooner or later, but we don't need to be too anxious." ”

"Just like Wang Jie, chief of staff of the 3rd Corps, said, where the palm is bigger, if you pee from the 38th parallel, you can urinate into the sea, and it will not be a problem to drive them into the sea."

The boss said with a smile: "This Wang madman is not rough, but now we can't be in a hurry, step by step, let's gradually advance south, take advantage of this opportunity, we must continue to improve our logistics, and the other is to strengthen the construction of the air force." ”

"Gradually narrow the gap between us and the US military, one is logistics, the other is air supremacy, as long as these two problems are improved, we can completely drive the US military into the sea."

"We have the strength and the determination."

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but I'm not in a hurry anymore."

"Moreover, if the US military launches an attack, we can also seize the opportunity to consume more US military vitality."

Chief of Staff Xie swore an oath: "Now that we have sufficient troops, this is not a problem at all." ”

"We're going to go all out and try to eliminate as many U.S. troops as possible."

……………………………………

Inside the command of the U.S. military

Richie was slightly furious, slammed his fist on the table, and scolded loudly: "Fake, Harris is a complete idiot. ”

Van Vliet sighed helplessly and said, "Don't be angry, it's already happened, it's too late to say anything." ”

"What we should be thinking about now is how to fight the next battle?"

Li Qiwei didn't understand this truth, but a main force regiment was completely annihilated, and such a fiasco still made him thunderous.

Originally, they had a certain advantage, and they had been bragging about it in terms of external propaganda, but now it's okay, it's really their turn to fight, they have been defeated again and again, and now they have been killed by another regiment.

Thinking of how he explained to President Truman, Ridgway was angry.

Van Vliet continued: "Although the Chinese army has eliminated the US 65th Regiment, they have been attacking continuously for nearly ten days, and according to our previous judgment and the recent performance of the Chinese army, they have reached the point of running out of ammunition and food. ”

"Although the US 65th Regiment was completely annihilated, we still retained our strength, and now the Chinese army is in a situation where it is running out of ammunition and food, and it is a good opportunity for us to counterattack."

"As long as you can defeat the main force of the Chinese army, you will naturally be able to earn back the lost face."

Hearing this, Li Qiwei's eyes lit up, nodded and said: "You are right, the matter has come to this, we must win this battle even more, no matter what, we must strive to completely defeat the main force of the Chinese army." ”

"Only in this way can we recover our losses and save our lost face."

"How's the preparation of the troops?"

Van Vliet said: "On the Western Front, the strength of our troops is relatively intact, and the units are also ready to counterattack at any time according to the original plan. ”

"And the offensive of the Chinese army has gradually weakened in the past two days, and we have also detected that their main force has shown signs of retreat, which also proves that our previous judgment is not wrong."

"They really can't attack anymore."

Li Qiwei nodded slightly and said: "But we can't be too careless, after all, our Chinese army is too cunning, just like an old fox, we must also be vigilant, don't fall for them to lure the enemy deep." ”

"This kind of strategy, they have used it before, Walker fell for him, and finally ended up in a miserable defeat."

Van Vliet smiled and said, "Walker is indeed an unlucky guy, but I'm sure we won't be that unlucky." ”

"Because the situation is completely different from the second battle, they have just finished the offensive, and they will definitely not be pretending."

"Our planes have been bombarding their rear with a strong intensity, and not long ago blew up one of their supply warehouses."

"So I don't believe that the Chinese army, there is still excess ammunition to be able to organize a larger campaign, so it is very appropriate to counterattack now."

"This is a good opportunity for us to turn the tide of the war, and we can't afford to miss it, once we give them a chance to breathe, let them build an effective defensive line, and the logistics and supply transportation come up, then we will lose this opportunity."

Li Qiwei nodded and said: "I don't know about this situation, in fact, I have been waiting for this moment, but the successive failures have made us have to be more cautious." ”

"But the opportunity should not be missed, immediately order all the troops on the front line to launch a counteroffensive immediately."

"Especially on the battlefield on the Western Front, it is necessary to concentrate superior forces to open the gap."

"As long as they are defeated on the Western Front, then they are finished, and we will completely surround their Chinese troops in the eastern part of the country, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Van Vliet hurriedly said: "Your Excellency the general, I will arrange a counterattack, I believe that there will be good news soon." ”

Van Vliet stood up as he spoke, raised his hand and gave a military salute, and turned to leave.

Under the command of Van Vliet, the American army began a large-scale counteroffensive operation.

Especially on the Western Front, the US army concentrated its superior forces and began to storm our defense lines.

At this time, our army was no longer able to continue the offensive, and in accordance with the instructions of the superiors, the troops began to retreat in an orderly manner.

Prepare to launch a blocking attack on favorable terrain to resist the counterattack of the American army.

In this counterattack, Van Vliet showed great command ability.

Van Vliet learned from the combat experience of the Volunteer Army's roundabouts, mobilized elite heavy armored units, and formed several task forces to weave into the rear of the Volunteer Army.

Under the cover of the powerful air force of the US army, these task forces of the US army made rapid progress, quickly penetrated into the rear of the main force of the volunteers, occupied some important road sections, and gradually divided the main forces of the volunteers.

Van Vliet's plan was to gradually divide and surround the main forces of these volunteers, and then annihilate them one by one.

At this moment, after repeated battles, the volunteers ran out of ammunition and food, and were no longer able to organize a large-scale counterattack operation.

In the face of the large-scale counteroffensive of the main forces of the US army, it fell into an extremely passive situation.

The boss had no choice but to order the troops to retreat quickly.

However, because these advance teams of the US army gradually separated the various units, each unit could only fight on its own.

After several days of fighting, the rear road of the 27th Army was cut off by the 187th Airborne Regiment of the US Army.

In the headquarters, the boss was also worried, and the deterioration of the battle situation made the boss worried.

And this has far exceeded his expectations, originally thought that an effective blocking line could be formed, but under the large-scale counteroffensive of the US army, and interspersed with encirclement, now the main force of the volunteer army can no longer form an effective blocking line.

The boss stared at the sand table and scolded angrily: "These brutes raised by bitches are getting more and more difficult to deal with." ”

"Now all the troops are divided by them, and they can only fight on their own, and the entire front is divided into pieces, and even a decent blocking line cannot be formed."

Chief of Staff Xie said: "After these battles, the U.S. military has also been beaten by us. ”

"And in terms of weapons and equipment, they already have absolute superiority, as well as air supremacy, and a large number of aircraft bomb every day to cover their ground forces operations."

"This makes their several roundabout troops go very smoothly."

The boss said angrily: "This Van Vliet does have some means, and he has learned our roundabout tactics so quickly." ”

"These important passes have been lost, and we are now very passive."

Chief of Staff Xie pointed to the sand table and said: "A task force of the US army has even occupied the Zhaoyang River crossing, blocking the road for our army's retreat. ”

"There is also the 27th Army, which is also very dangerous, their rear road was cut off by the 187th Airborne Regiment of the US Army, and there was about a division of US troops pursuing them in the front, and they fell into a situation of being flanked by the front and back, and they were attacked by the enemy on their backs!"

"No matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Regiment is, it is impossible to cooperate with the Ninth Corps and defeat all the encircled American heavy troops, right?"

When the boss heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he hurriedly said: "Send a telegram to the Ninth Corps and the 27th Army immediately, no matter what, you must break through." ”

"In addition, notify the other troops to make every effort to break through and retreat, and all troops will retreat to the vicinity of the 38th parallel to block the US army."

"The various units near the 38th parallel immediately set up defensive positions and prepared to meet the retreating troops from the front."

"In any case, it is important to keep the losses to a minimum."

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie hurriedly answered, turned around and went to convey the order.

The boss continued: "The matter has come to this point, and we can only stabilize the situation first, and then find an opportunity to fight back." ”

Chief of Staff Xie hurriedly persuaded: "Boss, don't worry too much, I believe the situation will definitely improve." ”

"We still have a certain advantage in terms of troops, as long as we stabilize the situation and take advantage of the US military to attack, we can still take the opportunity to annihilate their living forces."

"What's more, there is Wu Qianli's Seventh Regiment on the Eastern Front, so it shouldn't be a problem to break through."

The boss nodded and said: "The follow-up troops must not only do a good job of blocking the attack, but also prepare for a counterattack, be sure to give me a firm block of the US army's offensive, and take the opportunity to consume their troops." ”

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie hurriedly responded.

……………………………………

At the same time, Wu Qianli took the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment and began to retreat with the large army.

Under the cover of night, the troops marched slowly northward, until they were exhausted, and then rested for the time being.

Temporary "regimental headquarters" of the Seventh Regiment

Wu Qianli sat on a stone, saw that several people were sad, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

Mei Sheng sighed slightly and said, "Regiment Commander, according to the telegram I just received, the current situation is somewhat unfavorable for our army. ”

Wu Qianli couldn't help frowning, guessing that the situation might be worse than he expected.

Sure enough, Mei Sheng continued: "I just received a notice from my superiors that the 187th Airborne Regiment of the US Army has cut off the rear road of our 27th Army. ”

Hearing this, Wu Qianli couldn't help but start to worry, the back road was cut off, this is not a trivial matter.

Behind them, more than a division of American troops were chasing them, and if they delayed, I am afraid that the consequences would be unimaginable.

Mei Sheng continued: "The superiors have issued an order for us to break through with all our might. ”

"Our rear roads have been cut off now, and our contact with friendly forces on both flanks has basically been cut off by the US military."

"As a result, we're basically surrounded by U.S. forces."

Wu Qianli frowned and said, "It seems that this Van Vliet has a strong learning ability!" He has only been in Goryeo for a long time, and he has learned all the skills we have interspersed in a roundabout way. ”

Mei Sheng sighed helplessly and said: "So, our U.S. military is still very smart, and it is far more difficult to defeat such a U.S. military than imagined." ”

"But the most important thing for us now is to break through, the whole army will break out, retreat to the area of the 38th parallel, and then look for opportunities to destroy the enemy."

"Not only was the rear road cut off, but there were more than a division of the US army behind us chasing us, and the situation was still very dangerous."

"Now the whole army is trying to do everything possible to break out of the gap in the encirclement of the US military."

"It shouldn't be difficult to think about, our army has rich combat experience, whether it is fighting the national army before or the eight-year war of resistance, this situation often happens."

"We're also good at breakouts, so we don't have to worry too much."

When Yu Congrong heard this, he said loudly: "Grandma's! Even if the little devil was surrounded by an iron wall back then, didn't he still fail to destroy us? ”

"Compared with that time, the current encirclement of the US military is far worse."

Mei Sheng said with a smile: "Lao Yu is right. ”

"However, Shiji issued a combat order to our regiment, requiring us to launch a blocking operation to block the pursuing troops of the American army behind and cover the retreat of the main force."

Mei Sheng paused, turned to look to the north, raised his hand, and said, "We want to build a defensive position on the mountain to the north as soon as possible, and we need to block the pursuit of the American army, at least one day." ”

At this time, Mei Sheng placed a few stones from the ground and said: "This is the main peak position, our task is to seize the 645 high ground east of the main peak, build a defensive position, and block the attack of the American army." ”

"This position is very important, no matter what, we must hold the position, block the attack of the American army, and buy enough time for the main forces."

"Now that each unit has a mission, the strength is relatively limited, and once a position is lost, it may lead to the entire regiment's defense line being broken down by the American army."

"If our side fails to block the attack, then the entire army will be threatened by the US army, which will affect the breakthrough of the main force."

"So no matter what, you must hold your ground."

When Wu Qianli heard this, he got up with a serious face and said, "Since the battle situation is urgent, then don't delay." ”

"Order, the whole regiment departs, target 645 heights!" (End of chapter)
