"Let's talk as we go."

Master Zheng smiled, gestured to the opposite side, and walked forward with his feet raised.

Deputy Division Commander Duan patted Xia Yuan's shoulder and said, "Boy, I like your character. ”

Xia Yuan was very surprised by the arrival of the division commander, after all, he could only be regarded as an inconsequential one, the battlefield situation had reached this level, even if he had an uncertain prophet and stood in the vision of God, there was no good way to guide the 180th Division to break out of the encirclement.

Moreover, he told the division commander about the plan to break through behind enemy lines, once the 180th Division deviated from the trajectory of historical development, where would it eventually go, whether it would break through successfully, and what would greet the 180th Division, he had no confidence at all.

Xia Yuan sighed slightly, hesitant and indecisive, these personalities will eventually become stumbling blocks on his way forward, which is also the gap between himself and the real strategist, such a character is unable to serve as a senior general and command the troops of regiments and divisions after all.

"It's a pity that the system doesn't have the skills to compensate for this shortcoming."

The system seems to be very powerful, and the help provided is also in terms of physical strength, not personality, and character flaws still need to be sharpened through continuous grinding.

In fact, if it was just a platoon or a company, Xia Yuan would not have much psychological burden to command, but if it was a regiment of thousands of people and a division of tens of thousands of people, Xia Yuan would not be able to do it, and his indecisive character would eventually lead to a big mistake.

The night under artillery fire was a little more noisy, and the air was filled with a thick smell of gunsmoke, which spread from the front line.

Master Zheng lit a cigarette as he walked, looked at the surrounding mountains and fields, and said, "It's May day, it's still so cold. ”

Chief of Staff Wang said: "Yes, it's May, and our house is probably hot, right?" ”

"It's hot." Director Wu nodded and said, "Lao Wang, are you homesick?" ”

Chief of Staff Wang said: "I think, how can I not want to, but I came out to protect my home, so we have to win this war." ”

Xia Yuan followed behind them, listening to their conversation, it turned out that the commanders and fighters were also homesick, but they usually don't show it, as the soul of the 180th Division, they understand that homesickness is easy to shake at this time, home, can only be pressed deep in their hearts by them, never mentioned.

"Xia Yuan."

At this time, Senior Commander Zheng suddenly called him, pulled Xia Yuan's thoughts back, and responded: "Here!" ”

"You came down from the front line, do you have any views on our 180th Division at present?"

Master Zheng smoked a cigarette, as if he asked casually.

Xia Yuan's heart moved, he thought for a while, and said hesitantly: "Commander, I don't have any opinions. ”

There was a smile on everyone's faces, this kid was not authentic, he hesitated, and he was pretending at a glance.

Division Commander Zheng said: "Comrade Xia Yuan, but it doesn't hurt to say that the officers and soldiers of the main general are equal, and now we are chatting on an equal footing regardless of position or age, and it doesn't matter if what we say is good or bad." ”

Xia Yuan laughed and said, "Commander, then I can say it." ”

Master Zheng smoked a cigarette and said, "Say it." ”

"The 180th Division is in a very dangerous situation now, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the foreign devils will complete the encirclement of the 180th Division, which should be tomorrow."

Since he said it, Xia Yuan must say something earth-shattering.

Don't look at it now, the 180th Division will be able to stabilize the front, but tomorrow, all the situation will be reversed.

It's only eleven o'clock now, and there are still several hours before dawn, and when dawn comes, the last domino of the American drama will fall, that is, the famous Newman spearhead, with the dispatch of Newman's spearhead, the 1st Marine Division on the left flank of the 180th Division will increase the offensive on Chuncheon.

Chuncheon was held by the 179th Division, and after the 179th Division retreated from the left flank of the 180th Division, it retreated to the periphery of Chuncheon, and Chuncheon was behind the flank of the 180th Division, that is, tomorrow, the 1st Marine Division would occupy the position of the 179th Division, completely blocking the 180th Division.

Xia Yuan is from God's point of view, and Master Zheng naturally didn't expect that they are now attracted by the problems faced by the 180th Division, if they think in a worse direction, they can actually imagine it, with the idea of the future, persecution paranoia.

Deputy Division Commander Duan shook his head: "No, the current enemy's offensive strength is within the acceptable range of our army, and the defense line of the 538th Regiment and the 539th Regiment is quite stable, and it is absolutely no problem to be able to hold on for at least one to two days." ”

"Deputy division commander, you are too optimistic."

Xia Yuan shook his head.

"Optimism is the quality that every commander and fighter should have, and if we don't have an optimistic attitude, we will lose faster."

Chief of Staff Wang interjected, as a commander and fighter, the more critical the moment, the more important it is to maintain a calm and optimistic attitude, panic will only make the brain a mess and unable to make the right decision.

Xia Yuan couldn't refute, and seeing that Senior Commander Zheng didn't speak, he realized that this was to justify himself, so he said, "Commander, is it convenient to go to the division?" ”

Master Zheng looked at the sky and said, "It's really not early, let's go back." ”

Deputy Division Commander Duan said: "At least tomorrow, there will be no problems, our defense line will hold on for one day is no problem, I believe in my soldiers." ”

The deputy division commander's voice was a little firm, and Xia Yuan did not refute it, if you only focus on the current situation of the 180th Division, with the current combat effectiveness of the 538th Regiment and the 539th Regiment, it is no problem to resist for a day, and it will not work if it is dragged behind.

Looking at the command and decision-making of the 180th Division and the orders of the military headquarters from the perspective of God, there are obviously huge problems, including the orders issued by the Third Corps, but this is purely an afterthought, and these commanders and fighters in front of them do not have God's vision, and their current decision-making is already the best decision under the condition that intelligence transmission is extremely backward.

If you really let those keyboard warriors come and turn off their god vision, it is estimated that the 180th Division will be finished before crossing the North Han River.

On the way to the division headquarters, Instructor Shao was worried, he didn't know what Xia Yuan would say to the division commander, but he always felt that it was not a good thing.

Xia Yuan gave Instructor Shao a reassuring look, he knew in his heart that Master Zheng was his only chance to find him.

This opportunity is very small, he is just a company commander, how can he let Senior Commander Zheng come to him in person, but this kind of thing happened, Xia Yuan understood that his previous efforts had an effect, and he appeared in the eyes of Senior Commander Zheng.

In fact, Xia Yuan didn't have much hope in his heart, and the appearance of the division commander really made him feel very surprised and flattered.

In the division headquarters, a kerosene lamp emitted a dim halo, illuminating half of the map, the radio was ticking non-stop, Xiao Yi was still constantly in contact with the Corps, and the loss of contact was very fatal, and he had to contact the Corps as soon as possible.

Master Zheng led everyone to sit on both sides of the table, then pinched out the cigarettes in his hands, and his eyes fell on Xia Yuan.

Almost at the same time, everyone's eyes fell on him, including some cadres in the division headquarters, unlike the division commander, deputy division commander and chief of staff, they looked at Xia Yuan curiously, some people recognized it, some people didn't recognize it, and what was curious was that Division Commander Zheng and his party went out to find the young comrade in front of them.

Xia Yuan ignored the surrounding gaze, and took out a map from his arms, this map was naturally taken out from the headquarters of a company of the US army, and was not handed over to the division commander before, he used a pencil to outline a few points on the map.

Chunchuan, Chenghuangtang and Qingpingchuan under Jiguan Mountain, these places are more important, Chunchuan is the defensive position of the 179th Division, Jiguan Mountain and Chenghuangtang are the defensive positions of the 540th Regiment, from the map, the Chenghuangtang of Jiguan Mountain is the only way for the 180th Division to retreat, and the geographical location is very important, they can see it, and they will definitely be able to see it, but they will probably not think that such an important place will be lost tomorrow.

Without him, the 63rd Army retreated, allowing the US 24th Division and the Puppet 2nd Division to arrive at Jiguan Mountain unimpeded, and the defenders of Jiguan Mountain themselves faced the attack of the Puppet 6th Division, and the arrival of the Puppet 2nd Division and the US 24th Division basically accelerated the loss of Chenghuangtang.

Qingpingchuan is the original position of the 63rd Army, after the retreat of the 63rd Army, the U.S. army successfully took Qingpingchuan, standing on the map, along the highway all the way north, is able to reach the City God's Hall.

A plan came to him.

Xia Yuan spread out the captured map, this map is far more detailed than the map of the Volunteer Army, the map is spread out, the terrain of the entire defense line of the 180th Division is displayed in front of everyone's eyes, Division Commander Zheng's eyes fell on the map, a little surprised: "This is a map captured from the American army, but it doesn't seem to be a strategic map." ”

After a pause, he said to the confidential secretary next to him, "Translate." ”

Xia Yuan said: "Teacher, I'll translate for you." ”

Master Zheng was surprised again: "Can you understand?" ”

Instructor Shao on the side interjected, "Commander, Xia Yuan can communicate with foreign devils, the first few times he relied on the language of foreign devils, he has entered their station, and there is no problem in looking at the map." ”

Commander Zheng said: "No wonder we can drive the cart loaded with supplies from the Yankee's station. ”

Xia Yuan found a stick and pointed to Qingpingchuan, which was circled with a pencil: "Division commander, deputy division commander, chief of staff, director, look here, this was originally the defense line of the 63rd Army, just on our right flank, the retreat of the 189th Division is not accidental, it is very likely that they are going to perform more important tasks, they are gone, and there is a huge loophole left here, especially the Qingpingchuan road, the mechanized troops of the US army are deployed, and they can maneuver and intersperse." ”

"Qingpingchuan is too far away from us, even if the enemy mobilizes and deploys, it will not be able to threaten us."

Deputy Division Commander Duan stared thoughtfully at the map, from Qingpingchuan to the defense area of the 180th Division, there must be 200 kilometers, this is not like the highways everywhere like in later generations, when South Korea was not developed, it was a mountainous area, there were many mountains, and the mechanized troops of the US Army were deployed, which was not very fast for Xia Yuan from the future.

The next 200 kilometers will take two or three hours.

But at the moment, it's estimated to take a day.

Moreover, this group of enemies may not come to them.

The meaning of the leaders of Division Commander Zheng, Chief of Staff Wang, and Director Wu is also obvious: the US army is bound to continue its offensive to the north, but there must be its own troops in the north, and it is impossible to allow the US army to attack the north with such a swagger.

But is that really the case? The 181st Division of the 60th Army, which planned to defend, was also on the way to retreat, and the 39th Army, which was the reserve of the 3rd Corps, retreated as early as the 22nd, including the 15th Army, which retreated on the same day with the 39th Army.

Xia Yuan understood what they were thinking, but the lack of intelligence was particularly fatal, so they couldn't intuitively see the current enemy situation on the periphery of the 180th Division.

At present, the problems faced by the 80th Division are already very serious, but the division commander they are still very optimistic, he set his sights on Jiguan Mountain, Jiguan Mountain is most likely defended by the 540 Regiment that has not shown up for a long time, obviously this is also the last hole card of the Zheng Division, even if the situation on the south bank of the Han River is complicated, as long as the Jiguan Mountain is still in the hands of our army, cross the Han River, and still be able to retreat from Jiguan Mountain.

This is the last resort of the 180th Division, and no matter how bad the situation faced by the 180th Division.

If they hadn't come from the future and relied on the intelligence they had at the moment, as long as the front line didn't collapse, their room for maneuver would still be very large.

Xia Yuan sighed, but the reality is cruel, the loss of the City God's Hall in Jiguan Mountain will be tomorrow, "Division commander, when I touched the enemy's headquarters, I saw the words of the sixty-third army on a document. ”

The originally calm command seemed to be stirred up in an instant, and everyone's eyes fell on him.

Chief of Staff Wang frowned and said: "You saw the enemy document with the 63rd Army written on it in the enemy's headquarters, what else was written besides the 63rd Army. ”

Xia Yuandao: "It is written on it that the troops attacking the 63rd Army are the 24th US Division and the Pseudo 2nd Division. ”

Two divisions attacked the 63rd Army, and Xia Yuan also said the numbers of these two enemy troops, everyone was suspicious of what Xia Yuan said, but they couldn't be sure of its authenticity, Deputy Division Commander Duan looked at Division Commander Zheng and said, "Division Commander, what do you think?" ”

Master Zheng didn't speak, he didn't know when he lit another cigarette, and at first he thought about it, his cigarette would always be caught in his finger.

"It is better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have."

Xia Yuandao: "Division commander, this is what I saw when I first entered the US military station, the tent was very large, with maps spread out on the table, as well as magnifying glasses and pencils. Coffee, a U.S. military flag hung in the middle of the tent, it was the U.S. military flag, and I also saw radio communication, on the right side of the tent, with light bulbs on it, connected to wires, very bright, brighter than our kerosene lamps. ”

If you can tell the US military tent in such detail, you can only see it with your own eyes, otherwise it is difficult to tell what is in the US military tent in such detail.
