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

If the US 9th Army chooses a strategic retreat tonight, it means that their ambush plan has failed this time.

Even during the day tomorrow, their 40th Army will face the mad dog-like pursuit of the US 9th Army, which is not what he wants to see.

However, He Daming had no choice at this time, because the dominance of the battlefield was in the hands of the US 9th Army in front of Cha Fengli.

However, passive waiting was not He Daming's usual style. He immediately thought about how to deal with the situation. After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea. He immediately asked the communicator next to him to use a walkie-talkie to contact the 2th Regiment that was luring the US 358nd Division.

A moment later, the call was connected. He Daming picked up the phone and issued the latest combat order to the 358th Regiment.

"Hello! Is this Captain Chu? I'm He Daming.

I order your regiment to stop luring us and launch a counterattack right now."

After receiving He Daming's combat order, Chu Yun on the other end of the walkie-talkie responded without any hesitation: "Okay, Deputy Commander He, I know what to do."

As soon as the phone call was hung up, fierce gunfire was heard from the mountains behind Chafengli.

This movement instantly attracted the attention of the US 9th Army in the Chabong-ri area.

Originally, the commander of the 9th Army, Kurt, was preparing to retreat, but the sudden sound of gunfire made him nervous. He suspected that the 2nd US Division in the lead had encountered an ambush, and immediately asked the communicator next to him to use a walkie-talkie to contact the 2nd US Division in the mountains ahead.

Half a minute later, the call was connected, and Kurt picked up the phone and connected.

"Seth, what's going on over there?"

Seth, who was on the other end of the phone, heard what Captain Kurt was asking and immediately reported.

"Reporting to the army commander, our troops have already caught up with the 358th Regiment that fled north. The enemy has launched a counterattack on the spot, and our troops are exchanging fire with them."

After hearing the news, Army Commander Kurt was delighted and asked again: "Seth, let me ask you, when you entered the Chafengli area, did you find any abnormalities or ambushes?"

Seth on the other end of the walkie-talkie: "Nothing unusual, everything is safe."

After hearing Seth's reply, Kurt's last doubt was dispelled.

He immediately ordered the entire army to continue pursuing the Volunteer Army, intending to rush to the assistance of the US Second Division which was engaged in a firefight with the Volunteer Army in the Chabongli area.

At this time, Deputy Commander Ross stepped forward again to dissuade Kurt.

"Captain, I don't think it's appropriate for us to go in blindly like this."

When Kurt heard what Ross said, he immediately rebuked him.

"Rose, a battle has already taken place on the front line. Why do you want me to watch our 2nd Division fight the Volunteer Army without going to reinforce them?

In addition, our 2nd Division did not find anything abnormal after its exploration, and I believe in the judgment of Division Commander Seth.

So this is a great opportunity for us to expand our victory in one fell swoop, and we must completely wipe out this volunteer army."

When Ross heard what Kurt said, he always felt that there was something wrong here. He felt that the timing when the volunteers fleeing north suddenly exchanged fire with the 2nd Division was too coincidental, and the coincidence seemed deliberate.

This shows that the Volunteer Army was most likely actively luring our 9th Army to attack.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help but continue to persuade the commander Kurt.

"Captain, I think we should be careful. After all, it's never wrong to be careful."

At this time, the commander of the 9th U.S. Army, Kurt, was already annoyed by the deputy commander, Ross, and he wanted to shut his foul mouth.

He decided immediately.

“那这样吧，罗斯，我让24师旗下的第2步兵团和第3步兵团留给你，我亲自率领第25师和第24师傅的第1装甲团前往茶峰里驰援第2师。”

As the deputy commander of the 9th U.S. Army, Ross knew that this was the last concession made by Commander Kurt, and he had no choice but to accept the combat order.

Soon, the 9th U.S. Army made combat deployments. Kurt personally led an armored regiment of the 24th Division and the entire 25th Division, as well as the anti-aircraft artillery regiment, and the artillery regiment marched quickly toward Chabongli.

After seeing the actions of the U.S. military, He Daming, who was on the mountains on both sides of Chafengli, finally relaxed the tension in his heart.

Because he was also gambling, he deeply understood that the timing when he ordered the 358th Regiment to launch a counterattack on the spot was too coincidental.

If the opponent's commander was a little calmer and analyzed the situation carefully, he would find that this was actually a trap.

But he was just gambling, gambling that the commander of the 9th U.S. Army, Kurt, would not judge the issue calmly and objectively because of the hatred among the three institutes before.

Now, after seeing the military deployment of the US 9th Army, He Daming knew that he had made the right bet, which brought a happy smile to his face.

The next step is to wait for the US 9th Army to enter the entire Chabongli Mountains, and their 40th Army can launch the entire ambush operation.

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

At this time, the battle of the 358th Regiment in the hinterland of the Chabong-ri Mountains had reached a fever pitch.

Due to the several hours of forced march before, these volunteer soldiers of the 358th Regiment were almost exhausted.

In addition, they did not have any heavy weapons and relied solely on some American semi-automatic rifles and light and heavy machine guns to fight back against the pursuing US 2nd Division.

They had no advantage in terms of military strength and were simply relying on their flesh and blood and iron will to delay time.

So their casualties were very heavy, and Chu Yun, as the commander of the 358th Regiment, could do nothing as he watched the soldiers in front of him die one by one.

Because he knew his current situation and the importance of their 358th Regiment to the entire Chafengli ambush, he continued to grit his teeth and persevere.

At this time, the main force of the U.S. 9th Army, led by Commander Kurt, successfully entered the mountains around Chabong-ri. The entire U.S. military force was like a winding "long snake" scattered along the entire mountain road.

Seeing that the time was almost right, He Daming immediately issued the combat order.

"Brothers, beat them hard, beat these damn Americans to death!"

Following He Daming's call, the 359th and 360th Regiments ambushed in two places on the mountain range took the lead in opening fire on the 9th US Army on the road below the mountain.

These volunteer soldiers took out grenades, pulled the fuses and threw them at the American troops at the foot of the mountain.

For a while, there were continuous explosions on the road, and then the soldiers picked up their Garand semi-automatic rifles and various light and heavy machine guns and began to crazily fire at the US troops on the road.

The 120th Division's move prompted the 118th and 119th Divisions, which were ambushed in the area, to join the battle one after another.

It was this close combat process that caused heavy damage to the unprepared US 9th Army.
