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

Faced with Commander Van Fleet's questioning, Chief of Staff Bird had no choice but to say again: "Commander, this is true. The Volunteer Army blew up the reservoir on Highway 87, and our entire armored regiment was wiped out."

At this time, Van Fleet was stunned. He really didn't expect that his clever plan was seen through by the Volunteer Army again.

He couldn't help but feel a little curious about who the volunteer army unit he was fighting against was.

Since the surprise attack plan on Highway 87 failed, Van Fleet could only continue to use the old method, which was to continue to attack the Volunteer Army's positions with heavy artillery fire.

Over the next nine days and nights, the US Joint Forces dropped a large number of bombs, napalm bombs, and various artillery shells on Seed Mountain.

But they could not break through the Volunteer Army’s first line of defense.

Van Fleet's invincible ammunition lost its effectiveness in the face of the great volunteer army.

By June 6, these strategic materials in Cheorwon had been transferred one after another, and a new line of defense in the rear had been built.

The most important thing is that the 9th Corps and the 3rd Corps retreating south also arrived near Cheorwon at this time.

By June 6, the 12nd Army of the Volunteer Army had arrived in the Longxing Mountain area and established a new line of defense.

When the commander of the U.S. 8th Army, Van Fleet, saw that the reinforcements from the Volunteer Army had arrived, he had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat because they no longer had any chance to capture Cheorwon. The entire U.S. Joint Forces began to retreat to the rear in an orderly manner.

This also announced that the 15-day-long Battle of Cheorwon had finally come to an end.

The 40th Army of the Volunteer Army performed outstandingly in the Battle of Cheorwon, adopting tactics such as attack instead of defense and breaking the whole into small units and holding out for 15 days and nights.

At the cost of some sacrifices, we achieved the impressive result of annihilating more than 2 US coalition troops.

The Zhisi awarded the 40th Army the title of "Heroic Iron Army".

The 120th and 118th Divisions, which performed outstandingly, were awarded first-class collective merit respectively, and the 119th Division was awarded second-class collective merit.

After experiencing this battle, He Daming, the acting commander of the 120th Division, successfully removed the word "acting" in front of his title and officially became the commander of the 120th Division.

His nephew He Yuzhu was promoted from deputy company commander to company commander of the guard company because of his outstanding performance.

As of June 6, the Volunteer Army and various units of the North Korean People's Army successfully retreated to the "12th Parallel" area and established a solid defense line in the areas of Cheorwon, Yanggu, and Kimhwa, firmly blocking the US-China Joint Forces attempting to move north.

This also announced the end of the fifth battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.

The battle lasted for more than 50 days, and the Volunteer Army killed and captured more than 9 US coalition troops. However, due to the long front line and the lack of logistical supply, in the final stage of the battle, the Volunteer Army suffered more than 8 casualties, which can only be regarded as a tragic victory.

After the fifth battle, although the Volunteer Army had gained many advantages and benefits in the early stage, it did not cause any damage to the foundation of the US Joint Forces.

This turned the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea from a short-term war into a long-term war.

Both sides confronted each other in the "38th Parallel" area and entered a brief buffer period.

At this time, the Volunteer Army was suffering from insufficient logistical supplies and was unable to launch another large-scale counterattack, so it entered a short period of rest and recuperation.

At this time, the two sides also began consultations and negotiations on the issue of the North-South Korean War.

For various reasons, both sides have been quite restrained during this period, and no large-scale battles or conflicts have occurred for the time being.

But the cunning Americans will naturally not be so content.

From time to time, they would use their superior artillery range to bombard the Volunteer Army's positions on the "38th Line" mountain.

In July alone, there were several incidents of shelling resulting in deaths and injuries to volunteer soldiers.

But because Zhisi had previously issued a ceasefire order.

Order all departments not to easily provoke war without permission.

For this reason, the majority of the volunteer army troops were very restrained, but the US joint forces were very arrogant and often took the initiative to provoke various positions of our volunteer army.

This made the majority of the volunteer soldiers feel resentful and angry.

At this time, at the 120th Division Command Post, He Daming was having lunch. Since the armistice, his life had been pretty good.

Due to the short-term ceasefire, the pressure on the Volunteer Army's logistics supply line was greatly reduced. Compared with the previous baked potatoes, fried flour.

Now the logistical supplies are relatively sufficient. In terms of food choices, cornmeal and steamed corn bread have been added, and we can even eat some rice and refined flour occasionally. There are also two more side dishes, such as pickled radish and pickled cabbage, and we can even eat meat occasionally.

I feel like I have eaten pickled vegetables and rolled tofu, and no one can compare to me.

While he was eating, suddenly there was a fierce quarrel outside the command post.

"I want to see the commander!"

When He Daming heard the noise outside the tent, he immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out of the marching tent.

It turned out that the person they were arguing with was his adopted nephew He Yuzhu.

I saw him standing at the door with a group of soldiers from the guard company, shouting that they wanted to see me.

When He Daming came out, he stopped the farce.

"Captain He, what are you doing? Are you gathering a crowd to cause trouble? Do you still have discipline? Do you still have military discipline? Are the three major disciplines and eight points of attention a joke? What are you trying to do?"

When He Yuzhu was asked by his uncle He Daming, he immediately said affectionately,

"Uncle, I have something to report to you."

When He Daming heard He Yuzhu's address, his tone immediately darkened and he started to scold him.

"What second uncle? Who is your second uncle? There are no uncles or brothers here. Just call me Master He!

I have emphasized to you many times that you should refer to your job title when you are working."

When He Yuzhu was rebuked by He Daming, he realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed his words.

"Yes, Commander He."

In fact, the entire 120th Division knew that He Yuzhu was He Daming's nephew, but one thing is for sure, nepotism cannot be carried out openly in the military, it is a taboo.

He Daming knew that his nephew was looking for him, and guessed that he had something important to say, so he immediately softened his tone.

“Okay, Xiao Chen, stop stopping them.

Captain He, please come in with me. The other comrades please wait here for a while."

As soon as He Daming finished speaking, he turned and walked towards the tent.

At this time, He Yuzhu followed closely behind like a child who had done something wrong.

When they arrived at the divisional command post, Political Commissar Zhang Tang saw He Yuzhu standing behind He Daming and took the initiative to greet him.

"Old He, isn't this your nephew He Yuzhu?"
