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

Before He Daming could speak, the division commander Luo Sheng took over the words of the political commissar Zhang Tang and continued speaking.

"Old Zhang, you are right, that is indeed the case.

At that time, I joked with Daming that he was unlucky not to have been able to kill their deputy commander Kurt as well."

At this time, He Daming heard that his division commander and political commissar still wanted to tease the opponent, so he immediately mentioned it.

"Commander, Political Commissar, this is not good news.

Our 120th Division had a deep hatred with the US 9th Army during the second battle. How could they let us go so easily?

He saw that when they learned that we were evacuating overnight, they would definitely come after us without hesitation, and then we would be faced with a fierce battle. "

When everyone heard what He Daming said, their originally playful and smiling faces disappeared, and their faces became serious at this moment. They all fell into deep thought.

At this time, the division commander Luo Sheng spoke up.

"Da Ming, if what you said is true, then our 120th Division is really in a difficult position.

After all, our current mission is to cooperate with the 118th and 119th Divisions on both sides to cover the orderly retreat of the volunteer troops on the eastern front to the Hongcheon area. In order to cooperate with them, our marching speed is only half of the usual speed. I don't think we will be caught up by the US 9th Army in a short time.

If a skirmish breaks out, we won't have any advantage at all. After all, our army lacks heavy weapons, and we have a high chance of losing."

At this time, Chief of Staff Zheng Shi interrupted the topic.

"Division Commander, Political Commissar, if that's the case, then we should speed up our march and try to avoid the sharp edge of the US 9th Army behind us."

After hearing what Chief of Staff Zheng Shi said, Political Commissar Zhang Tang rolled his eyes at him unhappily.

"Old Zheng, you are the one who came up with such a stupid idea. Don't forget our mission. Our mission is to cover the retreat of the volunteer troops on the eastern front.

If our army speeds up its march, wouldn't that mean that our friendly forces would face the 9th US Army directly? Would they have to bear the brunt of the 9th US Army? This is simply unrealistic.

Secondly, even if our army speeds up its march, it can only widen the distance for a short period of time, but the US Ninth Army will catch up with us sooner or later.

Do you think two legs can outrun four wheels? So it is only a matter of time before our 4th Army is caught up by the US Army. "

After Zhang Tang said this, Chief of Staff Zheng Shi realized that he had said something wrong and fell silent.

What they said gave He Daming some ideas. He looked directly at the division commander Luo Sheng.

"Division Commander, Political Commissar, I suddenly have a very bold plan. Since we can't outrun the enemy, why don't we just stop running? We can use the enemy's eagerness for revenge to ambush him and catch him off guard. What do you think?"

When the division commander Luo Shenghe and the political commissar Zhang Tang heard what He Daming said, their eyes suddenly lit up and they looked at He Daming in front of them with disbelief.

He Daming felt a little embarrassed by their stares, and you asked back: "Division Commander, Political Commissar, don't look at me like that, there's nothing on my face, please tell me what I think of my proposal, can it be implemented?"

In response to He Daming's remarks, Political Commissar Zhang Tang and Division Commander Luo Sheng fell into deep thought.

They felt that the plan to ambush the US 9th Army was indeed a good one. If successful, it would greatly alleviate the pressure of pursuit on the Eastern Front troops.

It can even allow them to retreat back to the 38th parallel relatively easily.

However, at this time, the teacher Luo Sheng still expressed his concerns.

"Da Ming, your suggestion is good, but you have to know that it is not just the US 9th Army that is chasing us, but also the British 27th Brigade, the South Korean 9th Division, and other units of the US Joint Forces.

If we don't do a good job in the ambush, we will be easily surrounded by the enemy. I'm afraid that we will end up losing more than we gain. Even our 40th Army will be surrounded by the enemy and eaten by them. We can't afford this consequence."

When He Daming heard what the division commander Luo Sheng said, he naturally understood that he wanted to play it safe, but the best battle plan at the moment was to take the initiative and ambush the US 9th Army.

For this reason, he continued to persuade Luo Sheng.

"Commander, I know you're worried, but given the current situation, I think our 40th Army only needs to use our 358th Regiment as bait. The 118th Army will definitely break away from other units and chase us. When the time comes, we will combine the 119th Division and the 120th Division with the two regiments of our 9th Division. Will the th Army of the United States be easy to deal with?"

Division Commander Luo Sheng was somewhat moved by He Daming's words, and then he changed the subject.

"Daming, alright, let's do as you say. Come with me to find our army commander and see what he says."

A moment later, He Daming and Luo Sheng found the army commander Wen Cheng who was at the front of the team and explained their purpose.

After hearing He Daming's daring battle plan, Army Commander Wen Cheng actually agreed to it.

"Commander Luo, Deputy Commander He, as the saying goes, fortune and honor come in the face of danger. Since you are so sure, why don't you just go for it? Besides, even if we don't ambush them now, they will catch up with us sooner or later.

Rather than passively defending, we should take the initiative to attack. This time, our 40th Army must show its military might and make the enemy cry for mercy."

Then they began to study specific combat plans and programs based on the current marching animation.

Finally, they decided to ambush in the Chabong-ri area between Hoengseong and Hongcheon.

At this time, Kurt, commander of the U.S. 4th Army, did not know that the 40th Army of the th Volunteer Army had already woven a big pocket, waiting for him to get in.

The 40th Army of the Volunteer Army has already formulated a basic combat plan.

As the initiator of the plan, He Daming first arrived at the headquarters of the 120th Regiment under the 358th Division and found the regiment commander Chu Yun as soon as possible.

Seeing He Daming coming to him personally, Chu Yun immediately took the initiative to ask,

"Old Captain, why are you here?"

He Daming's face darkened when he heard this.

"Chu Yun, I've told you so many times, don't call me old commander...old commander, you should call me deputy division commander He. If I become an army commander or a general one day, will you still call me old commander?

When I'm working, you must address me by my title, understand?"

Chu Yun scratched his head awkwardly, then immediately changed the topic and said, "Yes, Deputy Commander He, I wonder what you want to talk to me about this time?"

He Daming immediately explained to Chu Yun the matter of the 358th Regiment being used as bait. Chu Yun was delighted to learn that the 358th Regiment was playing such an important role this time. He immediately patted his chest and assured He Daming: "Deputy Commander He, don't worry, our 358th Regiment will definitely complete the task of bait excellently and will never let you down."
