Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

At this time, the US 9th Army began to move from Ningbian City to Kaechon City, with the aim of withdrawing to Sunchon through the Samsoli area, and then withdrawing to Pyeongjang City from here.

At this time, they did not know that the strategic location of Sansoli had fallen into the hands of the Volunteer Army.

On the way to the south, the commander of the 9th US Army, Moore, sitting in a jeep, chatted with the chief of staff Bird behind him.

"Bird, do you regret it? I thought these volunteers retreated so easily because they must have some ulterior motive. It turns out that they were just playing tricks on us from the beginning to the end.

In addition, I really didn't expect that their fighting power would be so amazing, not inferior to ours at all.

As the chief of staff of the 9th Army of the United States, Bird could only be a yes-man when he heard what Commander Moore said.

"Yes, Commander. I can only say that those volunteers were too cunning. They were so cunning that even our headquarters did not discover their plan. That is why we suffered such a big loss."

Bird's words seemed to be an explanation, but in fact they put the blame on the US Joint Forces Headquarters.

This prevents Commander Moore from putting the blame on him.

Moore was not an ignorant man. He could naturally understand the meaning behind Bird's words, but he did not expose him in public. After all, he was the one who gave the order to fight personally. Now that they had suffered a defeat, he, as the chief officer, was also responsible.

However, now is not the time to pursue responsibility, nor is it the time to discuss who is right or wrong. Instead, we should consider how to preserve our manpower and return to Pingrang City safely.

Thinking of this, Moore spoke again: "Bird, do you think these cunning volunteers will let our 9th Army go so easily?"

When Chief of Staff Bird heard what Commander Moore said, he immediately fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, he slowly said, "Commander, please forgive me for being frank, but I think these cunning volunteers will not let us go easily.

But our army is a purely mechanized force, equipped with a large number of trucks, motorcycles, and tanks. The marching speed alone is not comparable to those volunteers who rely solely on foot, so we don’t have to worry about them chasing us. Even if they want to chase us, they can’t catch up. ”

When Moore heard what Bird said, he felt that what he said made a lot of sense and nodded approvingly.

"Bird, you are absolutely right, but I am worried that the volunteers on the right side of our western front will go around to our rear in advance and set up an ambush on the road our army must take to stop us?"

After hearing Moore's conjecture, Bird fell into deep thought again. After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea.

"Commander, I think the possibility is relatively low.

You see, according to the current feedback from our friendly forces on the front line, the 38th Army of the Volunteer Army is still in the area of ​​Yukou Station and Wayuan, while we are now only half the distance to Kaesong City.

Even if they run now, it will be difficult for them to catch up with us and block us in the Junou-ri and Longyuan-ri areas, so I don't think we need to worry too much. The only thing we need to be wary of is the 42nd Volunteer Army in the Jiacang-ri area.

If they take Sunchon after we leave Samsori, our retreat will be cut off.”

Upon hearing this, Moore immediately overturned Bird's conjecture.

"Bird, you are wrong. In fact, the only place that can stop our army is this Sansho.

As long as we pass through here, our army can play freely, because the plain in the upper reaches of the Taedong River is an open area with no strategic location to defend. Even if the Volunteer Army successfully captured Sunchon, our army can choose to bypass here directly and return to Pyeongjang City from Jiangdong or Chengchuan. In addition, Anzhou is on the left side of this area, so we can move westward and join the US 1st Army.

Therefore, the only place that can trap our army is Samsori."

At this time, the Sansoli where the 40th Regiment of the 120th Division of the 358th Army was located was busy with work. The volunteer soldiers were digging trenches and building simple fortifications there.

The reason they did this was because the regiment commander He Daming had a foresight. He considered that the US military would most likely use a large number of aircraft from the air wing to carry out air strikes on them, so it was very necessary to dig some trenches and build some necessary simple fortifications.

On the morning of November 11, the advance reconnaissance company of the U.S. 28th Army arrived at Samsoli as soon as possible, and at this time most of the U.S. 9th Army was already in Kaesong City.

The arrival of the US advance reconnaissance company was immediately discovered by the secret sentries deployed by He Daming.

However, after discovering that Sansoli had fallen into the hands of the Volunteer Army, these cunning American scouts did not engage in a firefight with the frontline troops of the 358th Regiment. Instead, they quickly left the battlefield and returned to Jungouli.

When Hart, the commander of the 9nd Division of the 2th U.S. Army, who was in the military camp, learned the news of the fall of Sansoli, his brows were furrowed into a "川" shape. He knew better than anyone what the consequences would be if Sansoli fell into the hands of the Volunteer Army.

He immediately passed the news via telegram to Moore, commander of the 9th U.S. Army in Kaesong City.

When Moore learned that Sansoli had fallen into the hands of the Volunteer Army, his expression was quite interesting.

He couldn't help but curse through the air: "Fuck... Damn it..."

Because he knew that once the strategic location of Sansoli fell into the hands of the Volunteer Army, it would completely block the escape route of their 9th Army to the south, which was not what he wanted to see.

The most important thing is that the 39th and 40th Armies of the Volunteer Army are watching them covetously. If they cannot break through Sansoli in a short time and retreat to Pingrang City.

Then his nearly 7 combat troops would most likely be left here, which would affect the entire trend of the North and South Korean battlefield, which was not what he wanted to see.

To this end, he immediately telegraphed the commander of the 2nd US Division, Hart, and issued an order to capture Sansoli at all costs, and passed the message to the commander-in-chief of the US Joint Forces in the rear, Mike Ash, via radio.

After Mike Ash learned about the current situation of the US 9th Army, he was completely panicked. You know, this time the US military intervened in the Korean War with only four armies in total. If one army was lost now, he would never accept it.

To this end, he immediately contacted the US 8th Army in Pingrang City and the US Air Force for fire support.

After issuing the support order, Mike Ash's shirt was wet. If these 70,000 people surrendered, his reputation would be ruined.

When he thought of this, he felt that the pipe in his mouth suddenly lost its fragrance.
