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

At dawn the next day, various combat aircraft from the 1st and 2nd Air Wings of the United States finally arrived and came to the Chabongli area to provide support, but they came up empty-handed.

As early as the early morning, the 40th Army where He Daming was stationed had already begun to evacuate towards Hongcheon, and now has arrived at Hongcheon City.

The remaining troops of the 9th Army, led by Deputy Commander Ross, began to retreat to the rear in an orderly manner.

When the news that the main force of the US 9th Army was ambushed and destroyed by the 40th Army of the Volunteer Army reached the ears of the chief officers of various US Joint Forces on the Eastern Front, it caused an uproar.

This caused the various divisions and brigades of the US Joint Forces, which were still in a frantic pursuit, to slow down their pursuit, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of the US 9th Army.

When the commander of the 8th Army of the United States, Matthew, learned about this, he was so angry that he started to curse.

"Kurt is such an idiot. He is such a reckless man. He is so stupid that he didn't follow the plan I proposed. He totally disrupted my operational deployment."

Then he looked at the assistant beside him.

"John, pass the order down and have the 10th Army on the Western Front urgently transferred to the Eastern Front to continue pursuing the Volunteer Army fleeing north."

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

Due to the destruction of the US 9th Army, the strength of the US Joint Forces on the Eastern Front was suddenly reduced by half.

With the withdrawal of the US 10th Army, the already stressful situation on the Western Front was relieved a lot.

The 13th and 50th Armies under the 38th Corps of the Volunteer Army, which were still struggling, got a certain respite.

As for the Eastern Front, according to He Daming's previous expectations and deductions, as their 40th Army successfully defeated the US 9th Army, they not only gained more time to retreat, but also reduced the speed of the US Joint Forces' pursuit and the pressure from the enemy.

Overall, this ambush was a very wise choice and a very successful battle. It successfully led to changes in the battlefield situation on the east and west sides and allowed the volunteers on the east and west fronts to avoid further losses caused by retreat.

After learning that the 40th Army had successfully annihilated the US 9th Army, the Zhisi immediately called to commend and reward them.

When Cheng Hua, the commander of the Volunteer Army on the eastern front, learned that the combat plan was proposed by Luo Sheng, the commander of the 40th Division under the 120th Army, and He Daming, the deputy commander, he was even more impressed by these two people.

During the following period, the Volunteer Army's Eastern Front deployed several lines of defense in Hongcheon, the Hongcheon River, and Chuncheon, and held each line of defense for 10 days. The purpose was to buy some time for the entry of follow-up Chinese troops and the transportation of various supplies to the front line.

As of March 3, the main force of the US Joint Forces on the Western Front had arrived in Seoul. Since Seoul was currently short of soldiers and generals and was surrounded by plains, it was not conducive to defense. Therefore, the 14st Corps of the North Korean People’s Army immediately abandoned this important South Korean city that it had finally captured.

After the US-led coalition forces recovered Seoul, Lee Seung-wan's group immediately sent a congratulatory message and quickly moved the South Korean puppet government back. However, this rash behavior was severely reprimanded by the US-led coalition forces commander-in-chief Mike Ash over the phone.

"Li Chengwan, what are you doing? Seoul has just been taken, and you can't wait to go back?

At present, the situation on the entire battlefield is still unclear. The volunteers who fled to the north were not defeated. They were just adopting the strategy of exchanging space for time.

Do you want to experience the second Seoul evacuation, you son of a bitch? "

Although Li Chengwan was the head of the South Korean government army at that time, he naturally could not and dared not have any opinion in front of his big father, Mike Ash, the then commander-in-chief of the US Joint Forces. He could only helplessly cancel the decision to relocate the government.

After abandoning Seoul, the volunteers on the western front set up a trapezoidal defense in the areas of Uijeongbu, Munsan, and Jangjuri.

During this period of defense, a remarkable event occurred on the US Joint Forces side.

That is, the commander-in-chief of the US Joint Forces, Mike Ash, was relieved of all his duties.

The reasons for his dismissal were nothing more than his radical remarks, willful personality, and the forces he represented.

Because when the fourth battle lasted until March 3, he actually publicly declared and challenged the Chinese side, saying that if necessary, their American coalition forces would bring the war to Chinese territory. Such high-profile, arrogant and politically unfavorable remarks immediately caused an uproar within the American camp.

Because at this time the United States was divided into hawks and doves, the doves advocated only aiding the South Korean army and forcing the North Korean army to withdraw to "north of the 38th parallel."

Mike Ash is a hawk who insists on swallowing up the entire North Korea and even expanding further if conditions permit.

Although there were differences between the hawks and doves on the command and combat of the campaign, the US Joint Forces had won victory after victory in the early operations and there was strong support in the United States, so the doves had to swallow their anger.

But the good times did not last long. Since the Chinese People's Volunteer Army entered North and South Korea, the US Joint Forces commanded by Mike Ash have been losing ground. Not only did they give up all the land they had previously taken, but they also failed to keep the "37th Parallel". This caused great dissatisfaction with him within the United States. Combined with his negative remarks, he was directly relieved of all his posts on April 4, and his successor was Matthew Lee, commander of the US 11th Army.

As for the person who took over the command of the 8th U.S. Army from Matthew Lee, it was Matthew's junior, Ward Van Fleet, known as the artillery master.

This guy is also a ruthless person. He is a well-known arms maniac and he particularly likes to whitewash strategies.

Although this is a serious waste of ammunition, it must be said that the effect of this behavior is still very significant.

However, for the Volunteer Army, the temporary change of leadership of the US Joint Forces was not a good thing.

At this time, the temporary command post of the Volunteer Army on the Eastern Front in Chuncheon was holding a meeting.

Those who attended the meeting were leaders of various troops at the division level and above.

Cheng Hua, the commander of the Volunteer Army on the Eastern Front, presided over this temporary meeting. He slowly opened his mouth.

"Everyone, today we have called you to this temporary military meeting to announce two things.

First of all, on behalf of the Zhisi, I would like to commend our 1th Army. It was because of their outstanding performance that they successfully defeated the pursuing US 40th Army, which enabled our army to retreat north smoothly, greatly eased the offensive of the US Joint Forces, and forced the US Joint Forces to make certain military adjustments on the eastern and western fronts.

As for the second matter, it is about the recent dismissal of the commander-in-chief of the United States Joint Forces, Mike Ash. "
