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

In the following days, the volunteer army on the Eastern Front began to make corresponding combat deployments in response to the current offensive posture of the US Joint Forces and began to make adjustments in an orderly manner.

By January 1, the frontline troops of the US Joint Forces had successfully arrived in the Hengcheng area and launched a fierce attack on the 31nd and 42th Armies stationed there.

The 13nd and 42th Armies under the 66th Corps strictly followed the combat orders of Cheng Hua, the commander of the Volunteer Army on the eastern front, and began to retreat to the rear in an orderly manner, leaving the entire Hengcheng to the US Joint Forces.

They retreated slowly while resisting in order to confuse the US coalition forces and continue to lure the other side deeper.

As for the 39th and 40th Armies of the Volunteer Army, they are currently on standby in the mountains 30 kilometers north of Guangtian.

As for the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Corps of the North Korean People's Army, they were all deployed in the area around Hajinfuli.

Because the US Joint Forces were eager to win at this time, they kept a close eye on the 42nd and 66th Volunteer Army's pretending to be defeated, with the aim of destroying them as soon as possible.

Thanks to the excellent mobility of the US Joint Forces, they quickly caught up with the 66th Army retreating northward and engaged in a brief firefight.

The entire Eastern Front battlefield is developing according to the combat plan formulated by the Zhisi.

At this time, the North Korean People's Army's 1st Corps, the Volunteer Army's 50th Army and the 38th Army were under great pressure on the western front.

The U.S. 1st and 10th Armies headed straight for Suwon City. Faced with such a powerful offensive, Suwon City soon fell. The volunteers on the western front continued to retreat to Gyeonganli and continued to defend in the Yeongdeungpo area to slow down the U.S. offensive.

直到时间来到了2月9日，此时南韩第5师和第8师还有美第2师已经追击至横城北部一带，距离洪川城也就不到35公里的距离。

Such a rapid pursuit caused a serious gap between them and the other six divisions south of Hengcheng.

At this time, the three main divisions under the Allied Forces had no idea that they were in great danger.

Cheng Hua, the commander of the Volunteer Army on the Eastern Front at the time, keenly grasped this opportunity and immediately issued combat orders to various combat units. All personnel entered the designated combat area according to the plan.

Soon, the 42nd Army of the Volunteer Army, which had been retreating, sent a division to detour to the rear of the three divisions of the US Joint Forces heading north, quickly outflanked and occupied the Shizidong and Yaguli areas west of Hengcheng.

At 11 a.m. on the 10th, they successfully captured the Jietianli area. Their mission was to resist the support force from the Hengcheng defense line - the South Korean st Division.

The 42nd Army's actions directly cut off the connection between the South Korean 8th Division, the US 2nd Division and the Hoengseong direction.

At this time, the 40th Army where He Daming was located was advancing rapidly, preparing to attack the South Korean 8th Division heading north directly from the rear.

The 40th Division under the 118th Army took the lead and took the Limuting area first, tying down the South Korean 5th Division and the US 2nd Division in the north, which were then coming to the south to provide assistance.

The 120th Division, as the main attacking division, began to march rapidly towards the Longtouli Highway north of Guangtian.

At this time, the South Korean 8th Division had been completely isolated by the Volunteer Army. Not only did it lose contact with Hengcheng, but it also lost contact with the US 2nd Division and the South Korean 5th Division in front of it.

It is now an isolated army surrounded by the Volunteer Army.

Li Zairong, commander of the South Korean 8th Division, was extremely anxious at this time because he knew that he had completely fallen into the trap of the Volunteer Army.

He felt that he was too careless. He felt something was wrong from the beginning because the volunteer army's combat performance was far less ferocious than before.

He was still wondering at the time whether these volunteer troops had taken the wrong medicine. Now he suddenly realized that the other side was obviously hiding their strength and tempting them to prolong the battle line. However, it was no use to regret now as they had already been surrounded.

Lee Jae-young had no choice but to mobilize his 10th and 21st Regiments to try to break out to the north of Hoengseong.

But the volunteers had worked so hard to create a pocket, so how could they let this big fish escape so easily?

As the deputy commander and front-line commander of the 120th Division, He Daming immediately led the 358th, 359th and 360th Regiments to attack the South Korean 8th Division on Longtouli Highway.

At this time, all the officers and soldiers of the South Korean 8th Division knew that they were trapped in the encirclement of the Volunteer Army. Their morale was low and they all wanted to evacuate this damn area as soon as possible.

The result is predictable. Under the orderly attack of the three regiments of the 120th Division led by He Daming, the already chaotic marching team of the South Korean 3th Division was instantly defeated.

These South Korean soldiers were no match for the Volunteer Army. With the various firepower output of the Volunteer Army on the mountains on both sides of the Longtouli Highway, the South Korean 8th Division was quickly defeated.

As for the remaining troops of the South Korean 8th Division, seeing that there was no hope of breaking out by continuing to the south, they had no choice but to continue to the north, but there was the 119th Division waiting for them.

经过了一夜的激烈战斗，整个南韩第8师的第10团和第21团被40军旗下的120师和119师全部歼灭。

At the same time, the 66th Army of the Volunteer Army, which had been retreating northward, had already stopped its retreat and began to counterattack the pursuing South Korean 5th Division and the US 2nd Division.

At this time, the two divisions of the US Joint Forces realized that they had fallen into a trap, but it was too late. They wanted to rescue the besieged South Korean 2th Division but failed because of the obstruction of the 8th Division.

The two divisions under the 42nd Army on the west side acted as the "sharp knife" and directly separated the South Korean 5th Division and the US 2nd Division.

A fierce battle then broke out 35 kilometers south of Hongcheon City. After a night of fierce fighting, the South Korean 2th Division and a regiment of the US nd Division were annihilated.

Due to their deep position, the South Korean 5th Division and the US 2nd Division could not get any help at all. Under the fierce attack of the Volunteer Army, they were defeated step by step. They could only retreat towards Hengcheng in disgrace.

At this time, on Longtouli Highway, was the temporary division headquarters of the 120th Division.

Division Commander Luo Sheng, Political Commissar Zhang Tang, Division Chief of Staff Zheng Shi, and Deputy Division Commander He Daming are meeting to discuss the next combat plan.
