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

At this time, Kurt, commander of the 9th U.S. Army, realized that he had fallen into the trap of the Volunteer Army again.

While organizing his troops to counterattack on the spot, he transformed the rear army into the front army and began to retreat to the rear in an orderly manner.

Because there are two fully armed infantry regiments stationed at the entrance of Chabongli Mountains, they can be rescued as long as they can retreat to that position.

He Daming, who was watching the battle on the top of the mountain, had already anticipated this move by the US military.

He had spent so much effort and finally managed to lure the 9th US Army in, how could he let them get away so easily?

A blasting platoon that had been deployed in advance at the foot of the mountain directly launched a sneak attack on the artillery regiment at the end of the road, and blew up the howitzers and trucks at the end of the team.

Since the mountain road in the Chabong-ri area is relatively narrow, only two tanks can travel side by side.

The exploding howitzers and trucks blocked the escape route, which means that at present, only people could pass through this road, while the tanks and trucks were blocked. This greatly hindered the escape space and efficiency of the US 9th Army.

At this time, the US 2nd Division, which was at the front line, heard the sound of gunfire coming from the rear and felt something was wrong.

The 119th Division defending here took advantage of the situation and launched an ambush, which allowed the US 2nd Division to be connected.

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

Taking advantage of the geographical location and the cover of night, the 40th Army launched a frenzied attack on the US 9th Army at the foot of the mountain.

With a force of nearly three divisions ambushing two divisions, the result is predictable.

At this time, the casualties of the US 9th Army were very heavy, with a large number of soldiers dying every minute and every second.

This made the commander of the 9th U.S. Army, Kurt, feel very helpless and desperate, because he knew that it was because he was blinded by hatred and lost his original reason and judgment that led to today's consequences.

He now felt a little regretful, regretting that he did not listen to the warning of Deputy Commander Ross and was once again fooled by the Volunteer Army.

In addition, he is now very upset as to why the commander of the 2nd Division, Seth, did not discover the enemy situation before, causing him to be trapped in the encirclement.

At this moment, Deputy Commander Ross, who was on the outskirts of Chabongli area, heard the sound of gunfire coming from Chabongli area and immediately ordered the communicator to contact Commander Kurt who was in the heart of the mountains.

A minute later, the walkie-talkie was connected.

Ross could hear the deafening explosions and gunfire coming from the other side through the microphone of the walkie-talkie. He shouted loudly,

"Commander, what's the situation over there?"

Kurt replied weakly at this time: "Rose, we are ambushed. This is a trap set by the Volunteer Army."

Ross was sad and worried when he heard the news.

"Commander, we will come to rescue you now."

When Kurt heard what Ross said, he refused directly.

"Ross, don't go into the Chabongli Mountains now. Just guard the outer areas. I will try to get the 9th Army to break out, and you will be responsible for the support.

Besides, I am guilty. I shouldn't have been blinded by hatred and made such a stubborn decision. Ross, the 9th Army will be in your hands from now on."

When Ross heard what Kurt said on the other end of the phone, he realized something. He was about to continue persuading the other party, but the communication was interrupted.

Deputy Commander Ross was filled with grief and indignation at this moment, but he was helpless. He only had two infantry regiments at hand. If he rushed directly into the tea peak, he would probably just be delivering food.

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

After the call ended, the commander of the 9th U.S. Army, Kurt, immediately issued a new combat order. He ordered all his troops to break up into small units, abandon all baggage and equipment, and flee to the outskirts of Chabong-ri.

These American soldiers under the 9th U.S. Army, who received the order, began to escape into the dense forest along the mountain road like monkeys and fled frantically towards the south.

He Daming, who had been observing the battle situation on the mountain, saw the actions of the US 9th Army and couldn't help but sigh that Kurt was quite capable and that this approach could reduce casualties.

Kurt led the guard battalion on the side and personally joined the counterattack battle, and did not choose to escape.

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

After a night of fierce fighting, the ambush in Chafengli was declared over.

The 40th Army of the Volunteer Army won a great victory. In this battle, not only a large amount of baggage was seized, including 60 tanks, 250 trucks, more than 40 howitzers, and various types of guns and ammunition.

The 9nd Division under the US 2th Army was completely wiped out, and part of the 24th and 25th Divisions were wiped out.

A total of more than 3 American soldiers were killed and more than 3000 were captured. Army Commander Kurt was killed on the spot and the commander of the 2nd Division, Seth, was captured.

As for the 40th Army, all units suffered heavy losses, with a total of more than 5000 casualties. The 120th Regiment under the 358th Division suffered the heaviest casualties because it was tasked with bait and blocking missions. Of the more than 5000 people in the regiment, only more than 2000 were alive, and 3000 soldiers remained on this land forever.

When He Daming learned the news, he was filled with grief.

Due to the urgency of time, the 40th Army quickly withdrew from Chabong-ri after cleaning up the battlefield and continued to move north towards Hongcheon.

Because dozens of kilometers behind them, there are other US Joint Forces waiting covetously.

At this moment, Ross, deputy commander of the 9th U.S. Army, who was stationed outside Chabong-ri, led two infantry regiments to continuously support the American soldiers who fled back from the Chabong-ri area.

Roughly speaking, he took in at least 10,000 survivors.

At this moment, these American soldiers looked dusty and black, with dull eyes and no fighting spirit.

Ross felt heartbroken when he saw the miserable state of the soldiers in front of him.

When he saw the chief of staff Henry escape, he immediately stepped forward and grabbed his collar and questioned him.

"Henry, where is our commander? Where is he?"

Henry looked at Deputy Commander Ross with a dejected look and replied calmly,

"Deputy Commander, the Commander has died."

When Ross heard the news, he was extremely angry, but when he thought about his mission, his clenched fists instantly loosened.

He knew that now was not the time to act on impulse and that he had to seize the time to regroup. Ross would remember this vengeance against the 40th Army.
