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

At this time, the US 2nd Division and the US 25th Division were located on the left and right sides respectively, at the downwind side of the mountains in two places in Sansoli.

The two division commanders, Hart and Shen Jing, looked at the towering mountains in front of them and immediately issued combat orders.

They first each dispatched an infantry regiment under their command and began to march towards the mountains in an orderly manner.

He Daming and others who were on the upwind side of the mountain range saw that the US military had launched a second round of offensive, and immediately ordered the 2nd and 1st Battalions stationed on the left and right sides to prepare for battle.

The battle for the two mountain ranges in Sansoli began.

This time, more than 1 fighter planes from the st and nd Air Wings of the United States, which came from Pingrang City to support, also arrived over the Samsoli Mountains, ready to provide air support.

He Daming, who was at the top of the mountain, heard the roar of American aircraft propellers above the clouds from afar. He immediately issued an order for the entire regiment to fight in covert action.

As it is the end of November and winter has arrived, the mountains throughout North Korea are almost all covered with thick snow, and the temperature basically remains between zero and minus 11 degrees Celsius.

Although all members of the 358th Regiment had cotton coats and trousers, they still felt a little cold. They took cover from the snow on the trees and lay under the trees and in the bushes.

At this time, planes from the 1st and 2nd Air Wings of the United States were circling over the mountains on both sides of Sansoli, trying to find combat targets.

But looking around, there was nothing but white, not a single ghost in sight.

At this time, the soldiers of the 358st Company, 3rd Battalion, 1th Regiment, who were responsible for acting as bait, were in a small village in the hinterland of Sansoli, firing into the sky in an attempt to attract the attention of the enemy troops.

As a result, some fighter planes were really lured and began to drop large numbers of bombs and incendiary bombs on the small village.

As for the rest, they were indiscriminately dropped over two mountain ranges in Sansuo.

The mountains on both sides of the entire Sansuo, the mountain roads, and the small villages in the hinterland were all ablaze at once.

The volunteer soldiers from the 358st and 1nd Battalions of the 2th Regiment on the mountains on both sides were lucky because they were covered and camouflaged by trees and snow, which prevented US military aircraft from accurately detecting them.

In addition, their indiscriminate method of dropping bombs was just a waste of ammunition and did not cause much impact or casualties to the 358th Regiment where He Daming was located.

As for the 3st Company of the 1rd Battalion located in the small village of Sansoli, it became the focus of attention of US military aircraft.

However, the soldiers of the 1st Company did not suffer too many casualties thanks to the small air-raid pits that had been dug in advance.

After several rounds of attacks by the U.S. military, they returned empty-handed.

The two infantry regiments of the US 2nd Division and the US 25th Division took advantage of this interval and rushed to the halfway points of the two mountains in one breath and were soon approaching the top.

He Daming would not let the US military succeed so easily, and began to organize his 2nd and 1st Battalions to suppress the US infantry regiments on the mountains on both sides of Sansoli in batches.

The battle was very fierce, lasting from dawn on the 29th to noon of the same day.

The two divisions of the U.S. 9th Army launched a total of nearly 2 consecutive attacks, but failed to achieve any success. The most recent attack was close to the top of the mountain, but was still repelled by the 15th Regiment.

This made the commanders of the 2nd Division, Hart, and 25th Division, Shen Jing, want to retreat. After eight hours of fighting, they suffered heavy casualties, with almost two-thirds of their infantry regiments destroyed, and the entire army had lost its morale.

而何大明这边的358团伤亡也很大，负责镇守左侧山脉的2营从原本的1300余人减员了至少1半，负责镇守右侧山脉的1营也是差不多的情况，而作为后备的3营也折损了三分之一。

Currently, only half of the 358th Regiment's total force of more than 4000 remains. One can imagine how fierce this battle was.

These volunteer soldiers of the 358th Regiment were fearless and unafraid of death. They refused to give up an inch of land, just like nails firmly fixed here.

Their outstanding combat effectiveness directly subdued and frightened the US 2nd and 25th Divisions.

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

While the fierce fighting was taking place in Sansoli, the 38th Division of the 113th Army had arrived in Longyuanli a day earlier and joined up with the 120th Division stationed there.

When Jiang Chao, commander of the 113th Division, saw that there were friendly troops guarding Longyuanli, his expression was quite interesting, because he found that his 10-hour forced march seemed a bit futile at this moment.

He immediately found Luo Sheng, the commander of the 120th Division.

"Master Luo, why are you here?"

In response to the question from Jiang Chao, the commander of the 113th Division, Luo Sheng immediately explained:

"Commander Jiang, I'm sorry, we also received an order from the Zhisi to come here to deploy defenses in advance. We arrived here on the 27th."

When Jiang Chao heard Luo Sheng's words, his jaw almost dropped. It turned out that their 38th Army was not the first to receive the order to infiltrate.

However, what puzzled him was that the 120th Division moved too quickly. Weren't they in the Guchengdong area at the beginning?

For this reason, Jiang Chao began to calculate in his mind the movements of the 120th Division in front of him. According to his speculation, the 120th Division should have started moving towards this side from the moment the counterattack started, otherwise how could it arrive here so quickly.

This also indirectly shows that Luo Sheng, the commander of the 120th Division, had a unique strategic vision and could perfectly predict the direction and changes of the entire battle situation.

At this time, he was still a little unwilling. Their division created the myth of infantry forced march, but they just gave up the credit.

However, considering that Zhisi's battle plan had been achieved and Longyuanli was already in the hands of friendly forces, he felt relieved.

"Captain Luo, where are the American troops now? Why is there only one regiment from your 120th Division guarding here? Where are the rest?"

Luo Sheng nodded, without hiding anything, and told the truth directly.

"Captain Jiang, to be honest, the 9th US Army is currently in the Jungou area, and they have concentrated two divisions of troops to attack the Samsori area guarded by our 2th Regiment."

When Jiang Chao heard that the U.S. military had sent two divisions to attack Sansoli, he was secretly shocked and immediately asked, "Captain Luo, can you hold it with one regiment? How about we let the 2th Division go over and help you defend it now?"
