Van Vliet couldn't help but scold: "Fake, these guys are too cunning. ”

"How could they prepare for a counteroffensive in such a short period of time, and secretly transfer the main force to the east."

"It really doesn't make sense."

A major general next to him said: "Your Excellency, Commander, it is obvious that the enemy knows that he can't defeat us, so he will concentrate his superior forces and go to the Eastern Front to deal with those South Korean troops." ”

"Although their troops are all trained by us, their combat effectiveness is not good at all, and they cannot be compared with us, and I suspect that they are not a people suitable for fighting."

Van Vliet waved his hand and said, "But we also have to rely on them, after all, our forces are also limited, and our enemies are constantly increasing their forces, if we rely on us, our forces will never be enough." ”

The major general said: "But now that the battle has just begun, the South Korean army has asked to retreat, which is simply an escape." ”

"Once they all withdraw, in this area of the Eastern Front, it may cause a rout of our army, and the flanks of the 10th Army will be exposed, which may eventually affect our entire battle situation."

Van Vliet gritted his teeth and said: "Call them back immediately, so that they must not retreat no matter what, and those who dare to retreat without permission will be severely punished." ”

“yes sir!”

A staff officer next to him hurriedly answered, turned around and went to deliver the order.

Van Vliet continued: "Send a telegram to the 10th Army at once, ordering them to send troops to aid the Korean army, and it is important to ensure that the battle line can be stabilized in the vicinity of the Soyang River, and that the enemy must not be allowed to advance southward. ”

“yes sir!”

Van Vliet looked at the sand table in front of him distraught, the battle was like this, and the old guy was also very angry in his heart.

A staff officer next to him said: "Your Excellency, Commander, these volunteers are indeed difficult to deal with, their weapons and equipment may be poor, but their will to fight is surprisingly strong. ”

"Even the Japanese army during World War II can't compare with them."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have created one miracle after another."

Van Vliet sighed helplessly and said, "I don't care how good they are, now I must defeat them at all costs!" ’

……

Van Vliet thought that he could stop the Korean army from retreating by ordering them not to retreat, but I have to say that he was too naïve to think about it.

Van Vliet's order reached Liu Zaixing's headquarters, and after Liu Zaixing received the order, he didn't know what was wrong.

At this time, the 9th Division of the South Korean Army had begun to retreat on the whole line, because they learned that the 3rd Division of the South Korean Army had also begun to retreat, so they did not continue to wait for the order, and directly turned on the runaway mode.

In this way, several divisions of the South Korean army began large-scale routs one after another.

Liu Zaixing still wanted to stop all this, but it was too late, and when he learned that all the troops had begun to accelerate their retreat, Liu Zaixing no longer hesitated, and ran away with his headquarters.

At the same time, the commander of the 10th Army of the US Army, Major General Biles, also received orders from Van Vliet.

Major General Biles stared at the sand table in front of him and said, "I didn't expect these guys to be so wasteful, and the thought of going to support them gives me a headache." ”

The staff officer next to him reminded: "But even so, we must send troops to support them as soon as possible, if this gang of wastes is really defeated, then our flanks will also be exposed to the front of the volunteers, which will be very unfavorable to us." ”

Major General Biles stared at the sand table in front of him and ordered: "Immediately send the order down, order all troops, immediately send troops to the east to support the South Korean army." ”

“yes sir!”

A staff officer next to him hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to deliver the order.

Major General Biles continued: "I heard that there are enemy troop tracks near this Wumazhi. ”

A staff officer hurriedly replied: "I just received a report that there is indeed a group of enemy troops who have made a detour and occupied Wumazhi by sneak attack, and they have just attacked a group of South Korean troops. ”

Major General Biles asked, "How many of them are there?" ”

The staff officer replied, "The preliminary estimate should be a few hundred at most. ”

Major General Biles instructed: "Immediately send the order down, mobilize troops to counterattack Wumazhi, and be sure to take this place back for me." ”

"These hateful Chinese troops are so bold that they have all come to our rear, and we must resolutely and completely destroy them and recapture Wumazhi."

“yes sir!”

The staff officer answered, and hurried to deliver the order.

Major General Biles stared at the sand table in front of him and said thoughtfully: "The Chinese army chose the South Korean army as the focus of the attack this time, just to find some rabble that is easy to deal with, fight one or two victories, and boost morale." ”

"If the Korean army is really defeated, in fact, we can also attack them from the flank and take the opportunity to defeat them."

"I don't think it's necessarily an opportunity."

"All units must be fully prepared for battle, especially to rest and recuperate in the rear, and as reserves, all units should go to the front line to prepare for battle, and they must rush to all combat positions at a rapid speed to prepare for battle."

“yes sir!”

……

At the same time, at the headquarters of the Volunteer Army.

The boss stared at the sand table in front of him, and he was always paying attention to the battle situation on the front line.

Telegrams from the front, one after another, were sent to the command.

Chief of Staff Xie reported: "Boss, according to the report from the front, the South Korean army has shown signs of defeat on all fronts. ”

"All units are attacking with all their might to maximize the results of the battle."

The boss asked with some surprise: "This is just the beginning of the fight, and the Han army has been defeated." ”

Chief of Staff Xie nodded and said, "Yes, the entire Third Army Corps of the South Korean Army has begun to retreat. ”

The boss pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that our judgment was correct before, this Korean army is still very good at fighting, and they have no combat effectiveness." ”

"It's just that now they have taken the initiative to retreat, and they are retreating so fast, I'm worried that they won't be able to annihilate their main force."

Chief of Staff Xie frowned and said: "This is indeed a problem, but no one expected them to run so fast, according to our plan, they could hold out for more or less a day, but now it seems that they only lasted a few hours, and then the whole line was defeated." ”

"I now wonder if they're deliberately trying to preserve their strength."

The boss frowned and said, "It's hard to say, but since you can be sure that they really retreated, then you can rest assured and boldly pursue, and strive to destroy as many enemies as possible." ”

"Our ultimate goal is to strive to destroy more of the enemy's vital forces, so that we can play a shocking role in the enemy, and we must not forget our strategic objectives at any time."

Chief of Staff Xie nodded and said, "Please rest assured, boss, we will try to destroy as many enemies as possible." ”

"According to the current trend, we should be able to successfully occupy the areas around the county, Cangcun, Sanjuli, and Guifangshan."

"As long as we take this area in the east, we can threaten the security of the US 10th Army from the flank."

The boss nodded and said, "But the U.S. military is not stupid, now that the battle has started, they must have woken up." ”

"Then the 10th Army will definitely not sit idly by, and they will definitely mobilize troops to support the South Korean army in the future."

Chief of Staff Xie pointed to the sand table and said: "Our troops have begun to weave along this line in a roundabout way, which can block the support of the American army, so as to ensure that we can completely defeat the third army of the South Korean army." ”

The boss nodded with satisfaction and said: "This battle is very important, we must not make any mistakes, we must kill this third army of the South Korean army as soon as possible and occupy this area." ”

"Further east, how is the progress of the Korean People's Army?"

Chief of Staff Xie pointed to the sand table and said: "The Korean People's Army dispatched about three corps and began to launch an offensive on all fronts from the east. ”

"So far, it's going relatively well."

"If nothing else, they should be able to defeat the enemy in the east."

"If they can't defeat the enemy, after we kill the ROK Army's 3rd Army, we can also transfer the troops of an army to the east, interspersed to the east, and sneak attack the ROK flank and rear in the east from behind."

"In this way, we can encircle and even annihilate the Second Army of the South Korean Army in the east."

The boss frowned and said: "These Korean troops are not strong in combat, but they are not fools, once the 3rd Army is defeated, will the 2nd Army still dare to stay in the position?" ”

"They're going to flee south, too."

"So it's not easy to take advantage of this opportunity to kill them."

"Inform the People's Army that we have made a breakthrough and let them also strengthen the offensive, and the enemy's 2nd Army Corps will definitely not be able to hold out for long."

"Your troops should intensify their offensive, bite this enemy force to the death, wait for the main force of our army to attack to the east, and then encircle and annihilate them in the area around the east coast."

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie hurriedly responded, and then went to convey the order in person.

……

Five horses on the position.

Wu Qianli looked at the road in the distance, only to see the lights of the car on there.

Mei Sheng walked over and said, "The enemy's forces are getting more and more. ”

Wu Qianli nodded and said, "There are both sides, and it is estimated that it should be the US military." ”

Yu Congrong on the side said with a smile: "The U.S. military is good!" Those South Korean troops have no combat effectiveness, and they will collapse as soon as they fight, so it is really not interesting to fight them. ”

Wu Qianli said with a smile: "What you say is not bad, then let's have a good competition with these big noses today." ”

Mei Sheng also said with a smile: "These guys are also as timid as rats, they have been hiding there, I see that they have gathered a lot of troops, and they don't even dare to attack." ”

"Chirp~!"

At this time, a piercing whistling sound sounded in the air, Wu Qianli's face changed, and he hurriedly took the soldiers to hide in the trench.

"Dodge the cannon~!"

As soon as the words fell, two shells fell on the position.

Violent explosions rang out, and two pieces of artillery fire exploded on the position.

The soldiers reacted quickly, and soon they all hid in the trenches.

Along the winding trenches, I hid in the anti-artillery holes and the tunnels behind.

Wu Qianli also got into an anti-artillery hole and said, "Listening to the movement just now, it should be just a tank gun of the American devil." ”

"Looks like they're going to attack!"

As he was talking, shells flew one after another and landed on the position.

The two guns just now were just test shots, and now they are the real shelling.

It's true that it's just a tank gun, but the power of these heavy tanks is not to be underestimated.

Shells fell one after another, and the forward positions were caught in a burst of artillery fire.

Listening to the movement outside, Mei Sheng said: "The artillery fire is average, and it is far from the enemy's heavy artillery battalion. ”

Wu Qianli reminded: "Don't be too happy, the enemy's heavy artillery battalion will come sooner or later, and after dawn, there may be enemy planes bombing." ”

As he was talking, Yu Congrong ran in from outside.

Wu Qianli couldn't help but scold: "You don't want to fucking die, don't you know how to hide at this time?" ”

Yu Congrong said indifferently: "It's okay, the cannon that can kill Lao Tzu hasn't been built yet." ”

Wu Qianli said angrily: "You can fuck it!" ”

Mei Sheng approached and said: "Commander, there is good news, our army launched a general offensive on the whole front, but as a result, the third army of the South Korean army did not last long at all, and now there is a situation of rout on the whole front. ”

"In other words, if we hold on for a while, reinforcements should be coming soon."

Yu Congrong said with a smile: "I'll just say, these Korean troops are a group of cowards, and they will definitely collapse at the touch of a button." ”

Wu Qianli said thoughtfully: "The Han army will collapse at the first touch, which may not be a good thing!" ”

Mei Sheng frowned and asked, "Why?" ”

Wu Qianli said helplessly: "It's not good for these sticks to fight, but the ability to run away is still quite good." ”

"Our purpose this time is actually to annihilate their living force, and naturally the more they are eliminated, the better."

"But these guys didn't dare to fight at all, and they ran away, and our plan to encircle and annihilate them is estimated to have failed."

"At most, it's just tailgating and killing, annihilating as many enemies as possible."

"Seems to make some sense."

Yu Congrong nodded and said: "It's still the head of the regiment who thinks about it thoroughly, it seems that the enemy is defeated too quickly, and it's not a good thing." ”

Wu Qianli continued: "That's right, many of the troops we outflanked in a roundabout way have not yet reached the command position, and they have run away, and it will be difficult to intercept them." ”

"But it's already like this, there's no point in talking about this, try to expand the results of the battle as much as possible."

"After defeating them, maybe you can take the opportunity to slap the U.S. military, and now I think it's more important to teach the U.S. military a lesson."

"When they are defeated, this war will really end."

Everyone listened to Wu Qianli's words and nodded slightly.

Wu Qianli continued: "Okay, don't talk about this, the most important thing for us now is to repel the enemy's attack." ”

"As I said earlier, if the South Korean army retreats, the U.S. military will definitely come to support, and we have become a strategic point here."

"It's just that I don't understand one thing very well, it stands to reason that the South Korean army retreated, and it should take our path."

"Why is it that there are only American troops rushing to support us on our side, and we haven't seen the defeated South Korean army?"

When the others heard this, they were puzzled.

How did they know that the reason why the ROK Army's Third Army was defeated so quickly was because they learned that Wumazhi had been lost.

Their rear route was cut off, and there were enemies in front and behind, so one began to flee for his life, and the other troops ran with him.

Starting from the 7th Division and moving on to the 3rd Division, the 9th Division ran one after the other, each running faster than the other.

Moreover, these cowards, knowing that Wumazhi was lost, did not dare to run to Wumazhi at all, preferring to go far away and go to the southeast.

At this time, the tank covered the American infantry and began to slowly approach the Wumazhi.

Soon, the American tanks advanced down the hill, and the tanks could not climb up at all due to the steepness of the mountain.

In desperation, the U.S. military could only send infantry to charge, while tanks were responsible for providing fire cover at the bottom of the hill.

"Commander~! The enemy attacked. ”

When Wu Qianli heard this, he ordered loudly: 'Inform everyone, go to the position immediately, and beat the enemy down for me.' ’

"Yes!"

With Wu Qianli's order, the soldiers rushed out, rushed to the position, and prepared for battle.

Wu Qianli rushed to a position, glanced down, and then raised his gun and aimed at an American soldier who rushed up.

At this moment, a large number of American troops are rushing towards the mountain.

Seeing the opportunity, Wu Qianli aimed at the US military and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang!"

Several crisp gunshots rang out, and several American soldiers fell to the ground in response, Wu Qianli's marksmanship can be described as superb, one shot at a time, and the gun shot his head.

The sound of gunfire is an order, and as soon as the gunfire rang out on Wu Qianli's side, the soldiers on the position aimed at the US military and pulled the trigger.

"Da Da Da Da~!"

"Bang bang bang~!"

For a while, there was a loud burst of gunfire, and the dense bullets swept down like raindrops.

The American troops who rushed up were swept down in an instant, and these ghosts raised their guns to shoot, but the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment occupied a favorable terrain, and the ghosts could not take advantage of it at all.

An American officer shouted: "No retreat, cover with fire, suppress enemy fire." ”

Under the orders of the American officers, the fire of the American tanks became more intense.

A blazing rain of bullets continued to shoot towards the mountain, and the firepower of the US military was still quite fierce.

But due to the problem of the angle of fire, they are under the mountain, and it is impossible to completely suppress the firepower of the Gang 7 Regiment.

Soon, the attacking American infantry suffered heavy losses, and they could not support it, and the enemy who had not been killed was so frightened that they turned around and ran away one by one.

Lei Gong saw the opportunity and shouted loudly: "Open the cannon~!" ”

"Chirp~!"

In the piercing whistling, one after another shells fell one after another down the mountain, among the ranks of the American army.

"Boom~! Rumble~! ”

Violent explosions rang out continuously, and the US soldiers who had just fled back were immediately turned on their backs, and the US heavy machine gun positions below were also destroyed by artillery fire one after another.

An American officer shouted loudly: "Quick, knock out their mortars." ”

"Report to the sir, their mortars are on anti-slope positions, and our artillery can't hit them."

"Fack~!"

"Retreat~!"

"Retreat~!"

In desperation, the U.S. army, which had suffered heavy losses, could only be routed on all fronts, leaving only countless corpses on the ground.

In just a short period of time, the U.S. military lost nearly 100 people.

In a temporary command of the enemy army in the distance, Lieutenant Colonel Joseph couldn't help frowning when he saw this scene.

"Fack, a group of rice buckets, was driven down by the enemy so easily, it is simply unreasonable."

"Shame, shame."

At this time, a US military officer persuaded: "The commander is angry, and it can be preliminarily judged that this enemy is indeed China's elite troops, and its combat effectiveness is indeed not weak." ”

"And Wumazhi is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they occupy the terrain advantage, and it is difficult for us to capture them."

"It's not too late to wait until dawn before attacking, anyway, it's not long before dawn."

Lieutenant Colonel Joseph nodded slightly and said, "What you said also has some truth, then wait until dawn before attacking!" ”

"Call in air force and artillery support."

“yes sir!”

Lieutenant Colonel Joseph frowned and said, "How could such an important place fall into the hands of the Chinese army?" ”

An American military officer said: "These volunteers are elusive, who would have thought that they would suddenly appear here? ”

Lieutenant Colonel Joseph continued: "Why don't you send troops to garrison such an important pass? ”

One lieutenant said: "Didn't you say before that there is no need to station troops here and set up permanent positions? ”

"And those South Korean troops came to build positions, and you drove them away."

Lieutenant Colonel Joseph's face turned red and said angrily: "Is that what I drove away?" That's what the commander drove away! ”

"Okay, don't talk about this, let's think about it now, how to take down the five horses."

"They're here like a nail, and it's very bad for us."

A major said: "Sir, rest assured, when we have the cover of the air force and artillery after dawn, it is only a matter of time before we destroy them, and I don't think we will waste too long." ”

Joseph frowned and scolded: "It's a pity that those Korean troops have been defeated and retreated, those fools, they can't fight, but their ability to run away is unbeatable, and they run faster than rabbits one by one." ”

The major said, "We don't have to worry about this, anyway, the other troops have gone to support." ”

As he was talking, a major came over and said, "I just received a telegram from my superiors, and the rest of the troops were also blocked and ambushed by the enemy on the way to reinforce, and the progress was not smooth, and the Korean army has completely collapsed." ”

"The superiors asked us to take down Wumazhi as soon as possible and eliminate this enemy."

Lieutenant Colonel Joseph frowned and said, "It seems that the battle situation is far worse than we thought. ”

"Telegram back to the commander and say that we will take Wumazhi as soon as possible, but we need artillery support."

“yes sir!” (End of chapter)
