Siheyuan: Back to 50 years ago, Shazhu joined the army

After hearing Weijie's battle plan, Liang Xingchu, commander of the 38th Army, rejected it outright.

"Captain Wei, I don't agree with your method. You know, Mapingli and Shicangli are both plains, which are particularly suitable for tank combat.

It would be very unwise for us to choose to confront the U.S. Army head-on. Facing the U.S. Army with an armored corps, we do not have much advantage in attacking the enemy. Doing so will only cause huge casualties on our side."

As soon as this was said, everyone fell silent.

The reason why Liang Xingchu rejected Weijie's proposal was that he believed that the current mission of their 38th Army was to cover the retreat of the 60th Army, rather than to fight the US Army head-on. If their 38th Army was also caught by the US Joint Forces, it would be a loss.

After Vijay's combat proposal was rejected, everyone began to discuss other tactics. However, based on the current combat conditions and terrain, they could not come up with any good combat plan. Just when everyone was getting anxious about the lack of a good strategic plan.

Liang Xingchu suddenly thought of something, and he looked directly at Jiang Chao, the commander of the 113th Division.

"Jiang Chao, I remember that you are the one who usually has a lot of ideas. Why are you silent today when it comes to how to fight this battle and how to rescue people? You won't talk anymore?"

Jiang Chao, who was called out, looked at Liang Xingchu with embarrassment and immediately expressed his opinion.

"Commander, look at what you said. I don't have any tricks. These are just some clever tricks. I really don't have any good ideas about how to rescue the 180th Division this time."

Jiang Chao just finished speaking, and suddenly he thought of something, and immediately changed the subject.

"By the way, Commander, why don't you ask about the 'Little Zhuge' in our division?"

Liang Xingchu was quite surprised when he heard Jiang Chao mention "Little Zhuge" and immediately asked him,

"What's going on? What little Zhuge? Who is that person?"

Jiang Chao: "Who else could it be? It's He Yuzhu, the one who gave advice at the Imjin River. You even ate his whole pig banquet. Have you forgotten?"

When Liang Xingchu heard this, he slapped his forehead.

"So it was him. How could I have forgotten about him? Please invite him to me as soon as possible."

The commander of the 60th Army, Vijay, was quite surprised and curious when he heard their conversation. He really wanted to know who He Yuzhu, the "Little Zhuge" they were talking about, was.

Six minutes later, He Yuzhu, with a confused look on his face, was taken to the temporary combat meeting room by Jiang Chao.

He looked at the officers in the room, and his lips became dry. He walked straight to the commander Liang Xingchu and asked first,

"Commander, you're looking for me?"

Liang Xingchu nodded.

"Yes, I heard that your division commander called you Little Zhuge, so I would like to ask you to help us with some ideas. This is the topographic map. Our current mission is to rescue the 180th Division that is besieged by the US Joint Forces. Do you have any good ideas to rescue them at the lowest cost?"

When He Yuzhu heard Liang Xingchu mention the 60th Division of the 180th Army, memories of the 180th Division instantly emerged in his mind. As a time traveler, he was naturally familiar with the affairs of the 180th Division, because the history books of his previous life seemed to mention that the 180th Division was the first unit to be defeated in the Campaign to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

Now that he was involved in it, he naturally had to change history a little bit. He would definitely not let the tragedy of history repeat itself, and he had to try every means to rescue the 180th Division from the crisis. Thinking of this, he carefully observed the topographic map, and learned from a group of leading cadres about the distribution areas and current locations of each division of the US Joint Forces.

After thinking for a while, He Yuzhu came up with a preliminary plan. He immediately shouted to everyone,

"Commander, I have an idea."

Liang Xingchu, who was standing by, was also shocked to see that He Yuzhu had come up with a battle plan so quickly, and immediately asked him,

"So fast, tell me about it."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Commander, and all the other officers, I think first of all we cannot attack Mapingli and Shicangli, because these two places have been occupied by the US military. They have powerful firepower and mechanized forces. We will definitely not gain any advantage by confronting them head-on, and it will only cause losses to our volunteer soldiers.

I think we can send a division as support and directly capture Yingfeng Mountain by force. As for the mountain range where Yingfeng is located, we can send another division as support.

He then sent a direct telegram to the 180th Division to break out in the direction of Yingfeng Mountain, and the two divisions on Yingfeng Mountain covered them and retreated to Huachuan.

In this way, the cost is relatively small, and we can completely avoid the US troops stationed in Mapingli and Shicangli."

Then He Yuzhu changed the subject.

"Commanders, this plan has a risk. We must capture Yingfeng Mountain before the United States Army. If the United States Army takes it first, the plan to rescue the 180th Division will be completely stranded and can only be strategically abandoned."

When the commander of the 60th Army, Weijie, heard He Yuzhu mention the strategic abandonment of the 180th Division, he became a little excited and seemed to want to say something.

Seeing this, Liang Xingchu on the side immediately took over He Yuzhu's topic and continued,

"Comrade He Yuzhu's battle plan is very good. I think it's great. Do you have any different opinions? If not, I will start implementing it according to his battle plan."

All the leading cadres present looked at each other, and none of them seemed to have any objections, and they all agreed.

Seeing that no one objected, Liang Xingchu adopted this battle plan and immediately began to issue combat orders.

....................

On May 5, taking advantage of the night, the guard company where He Yuzhu was located followed the 25th Division and marched quickly towards Yingfeng Mountain. They were the main responsible persons for the capture of Yingfeng Mountain.

As for the 112th Division behind them, it was responsible for the defense of the mountains around Yingfeng Mountain to prevent the US troops below the mountains from cutting off their retreat.

All officers and soldiers of the 113th Division began to race against time and quickly headed towards Yingfeng. Yingfeng is actually the main peak on Yingfeng Mountain, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

In the early morning of May 5, when the first ray of sunlight shone on He Yuzhu's face, their 26th Division had successfully arrived at Yingfeng Mountain. However, as luck would have it, he noticed with his sharp eyes that there seemed to be a US military force heading towards Yingfeng Mountain at the foot of the mountain not far away.
