Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
Chapter 67 New Discovery by the US Army: Abandoned Highway 87
This made him realize that the US Joint Forces were launching a night attack, so he immediately ordered the bugler to blow the assembly call.
“Beep…Beep…”
As the loud bugle call sounded, the volunteer troops who were dozing off on Seed Mountain woke up instantly.
The reconnaissance company soon engaged in a battle with the U.S. Joint Forces in the front row. Under the leadership of Company Commander Wang Muxin, the reconnaissance company fought and retreated to Zhongzi Mountain.
He Daming, the acting commander of the 120th Division, acted decisively and immediately led the 358th, 359th and 360th Regiments to do the opposite, taking the initiative to attack the US Joint Forces under the cover of night.
At this time, after hearing the Volunteer Army's assembly call, the US Joint Forces' surprise attack force knew that they had been exposed, the sneak attack plan had failed, and the surprise attack turned into an offensive battle, which was what Van Fleet did not want to see.
For this reason, they had to abandon the plan of night attack and retreat in an orderly manner, but as luck would have it, He Daming and the 120th Division caught up with them.
At this time, under the moonlight, fierce fighting broke out in the area 10 to 30 kilometers ahead of the Seed Mountain. The 10 infantry regiments of the US Joint Forces were chased and beaten by the three regiments of the 120th Division. They retreated frantically like stray dogs.
That night, the US Joint Forces lost an infantry regiment, which made the commander of the US 8th Army, Van Fleet, so angry that he was furious.
On the fourth day of the defense, Van Fleet had no choice but to continue the offensive tactics of the previous few days.
But no matter how the US-China Joint Forces fought, they could not gain any advantage from the Volunteer Army stationed in the Zongzishan area.
He probably never dreamed that the existence of He Daming, this "butterfly", indirectly changed history. The Iron Triangle, which was originally defended by only the 63rd Army, was now defended by two armies. The situation was completely different in terms of manpower, equipment, and combat conditions.
At this time, in the temporary command center of the US Joint Forces, Commander Van Fleet paced back and forth in front of the marching map, quickly thinking of new combat strategies in his head.
You must know that the Volunteer Army has prepared three lines of defense, and he is still struggling on the first line of defense. You must know that in about 10 days, when other reinforcements of the Volunteer Army arrive in Cheorwon, his combat operation this time will be declared a complete failure.
However, the volunteers at Zongzi Mountain were too cunning. Not only did they have the energy to launch a sneak attack on the US Joint Forces at night, but their tactics of breaking the whole into small pieces made it impossible for their artillery and aircraft to be fully deployed. Countless amounts of ammunition had been wasted in the past few days alone.
He had to figure out a way.
Suddenly he saw a winding black line on the marching map, and he immediately called Chief of Staff Bird,
"Bird, where is this place on the map?"
Chief of Staff Bird looked carefully at the location pointed out by Van Fleet.
"Commander, this is Route 87, an abandoned road that could have gone straight back to the northern part of the Cheorwon Plain. What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
When Van Fleet heard what Chief of Staff Bird said, he was instantly overjoyed.
"God is really helping me, there is actually another passage.
Bird, you must immediately order someone to repair this Highway 87 for me. We are going to cross Zhongzhong Mountain and Gaotai Mountain from here and head straight to Cheorwon. You should get ready quickly.
By the way, in order to prevent the Volunteer Army from discovering our strategic purpose, the daytime attack will continue, but the ammunition and manpower input can be slightly reduced by 3%."
When Chief of Staff Bird heard Van Fleet's order, he immediately said,
"Okay, Commander, I'll do it now."
Starting from the 5th day, the offensive of the US Joint Forces weakened significantly, and this strange phenomenon was captured by He Daming and others.
To this end, they held an emergency meeting in the afternoon at the temporary command post on Gaotai Mountain, organized by Army Commander Wen Cheng.
"Everyone, is there any problem with our army's defense line recently?"
The commander of the 118th Division, Zheng Yue, was the first to respond: "Commander, at present, Seed Mountain is still under the control of our 118th Division, but our division has suffered heavy losses in the past few days. Currently, there are still 7000 soldiers who can still fight, and the rest have died heroically."
When Wen Cheng heard what the commander of the 118th Division, Zheng Yue, said, his face was a little moved.
"Commander Zheng, thank you for your hard work, the soldiers of our 118th Division have worked hard.
But this is only the fifth day, and we haven't completed the task assigned by Zhisi yet, so we have to keep on persevering."
Zheng Yue nodded when he heard this.
"Okay, Commander, we will continue to persevere, but I have discovered a strange phenomenon recently.
It’s just that since today, the offensive of the United States Army has not been as fierce and sharp as before. I always feel that they seem to think that they can’t take our Seed Mountain and feel a little bit like giving up. "
When Army Commander Wen Cheng heard the news, he also fell into deep thought.
He Daming, who was standing aside, knew the US Joint Forces very well. He knew that this did not mean that the other side had given up, but that they must be planning some other bad tricks.
When he thought of this, he immediately spoke out.
“Reporting to the commander, I think the US Joint Forces are not afraid of our army, but are thinking of other ways to bypass our defense line.
Although the US Joint Forces are firmly confined to Seed Mountain and cannot advance, this does not mean that they will give up easily.
You have to know that this time the battle time given is 15 days, and this is only the fifth day. I don’t think the commanders of the US Joint Forces will give up so quickly. They just think that Seed Mountain is too difficult to tackle, so they must be looking for other ways out. "
When Wen Cheng heard what He Daming said, his eyes lit up instantly.
"Come, let's look at the marching map and see where there are points we missed."
As soon as Wen Cheng finished speaking, the three division commanders including He Daming and the political commissars gathered around the march map and began to analyze and study it one by one.
Suddenly He Daming discovered something. He pointed to a black line on the map and asked Wen Cheng,
"Commander, where is this place?"
After all, Wen Cheng was a commander who looked at maps every day to analyze the war, so he was naturally very familiar with the map. He looked at the location pointed by He Daming and said lightly,
"Commander He, this is Highway 87, but it has been abandoned for a long time and is basically not in use."
