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

As more and more volunteers climbed up the Sniper Ridge, the entire defense line of the South Korean Second Division was breached.

Battalion commander Jin Moyang was killed on the spot, and then the commander of the 87th Regiment led a battalion to continue to rush to the north of Sniper Ridge Heights.

One battalion was left behind to resist the incoming reinforcements from the South Korean 2nd Division.

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

The South Korean defenders on the north side of Sniper Ridge Heights never dreamed that their defense line would be broken through by the Volunteer Army so quickly. Under attacks from both the north and the south, the entire South Korean defenders on Sniper Ridge Heights were completely wiped out.

In less than 24 hours, Sniper Ridge Heights was recovered.

After occupying the Sniper Ridge Heights, troops from the 87th and 88th Regiments gathered together, a total of three battalions. However, during the siege, almost one battalion of troops was lost.

The South Korean 2nd Division lost two fully-strength battalions.

Then the head of the 87th Regiment, Wang Fang, found the head of the 88th Regiment, Meng Ming.

"Captain Wang, it was not easy. We finally managed to overcome this tough challenge."

When saying this, Meng Ming's face showed a hint of joy.

Wang Fang agreed with Meng Ming's words.

"Yes, Captain Meng, it is indeed not easy. We soldiers in the tunnel have been waiting for so long. Otherwise, we don't know what the next battle will be like.

By the way, report the good news to the military immediately."

When Meng Ming heard Wang Fang's words, he immediately took the lead.

"Yes...yes...I almost forgot about it."

Then they found a communicator and immediately used a walkie-talkie to contact the 15th Army's headquarters in the Daodedong area.

One minute later, the walkie-talkie was connected, and the voice of the commander Zhang Yang came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

"What's going on, Wang Fang, Meng Ming, what's the current situation at Sniper Ridge?"

Meng Ming motioned for Wang Fang to answer, and the latter replied directly: "Division Commander, I am Wang Fang from the 87th Regiment. I have successfully recaptured Sniper Ridge Heights. The two battalions of the South Korean 2nd Division guarding the heights have been completely wiped out. Currently, the South Korean 2nd Division below the heights has sent an infantry regiment to try to recapture Sniper Ridge Heights."

Zhang Yang, who was on the other end of the walkie-talkie, finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

"Okay, great, Wang Fang, Meng Ming, I'm going to give you credit for the first place.

However, the most urgent task is to repair the tunnels as soon as possible. When daybreak comes, the US Joint Forces will surely launch a more fierce counterattack. We cannot make the same mistake again."

When Wang Fang heard what his division commander Zhang Yang said,

"Commander, don't worry. Commander Meng and I will definitely defend the Sniper Ridge Heights and will never make the same mistake again."

Zhang Yang was very satisfied after hearing what Wang Fang said, and then hung up the walkie-talkie.

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

After the call, Wang Fang, Meng Ming and others immediately organized people to clean up the battlefield and sort out the equipment and supplies that the South Korean defenders had not had time to destroy.

At this time, the weapons and equipment left on the entire Sniper Ridge Heights were still relatively advanced. There were not only several recoilless guns and mortars, but also more than a dozen anti-aircraft machine guns and a large amount of supplies.

This gave the 87th and 88th Regiments an advantage, and they subsequently organized people to clean up the damaged tunnels.

And all the supplies that could be transported were transported into the tunnel, because they had to prepare all these things before dawn today.

Because they knew that as soon as daybreak came, the US Joint Forces would launch a fierce artillery attack.

The reason why they are not making any big moves now is that they certainly don’t know that the entire Sniper Ridge Heights has been captured by them.

At the temporary position of the South Korean 2nd Division, the division commander Kim Moon-jae was pacing back and forth in the tent of the division's temporary command post, although he had already sent an infantry regiment there.

However, since there has been no first-hand information coming down from the front line, he became extremely depressed.

After walking back and forth for a few steps, he asked his chief of staff Li Shuncheng,

"Staff Officer Li, what's going on? Have the defenders at Sniper Ridge responded?"

Li Shuncheng shook his head.

"Commander, we have sent telegrams to the higher-ups many times, but have received no response.

It seems that our garrison on the high ground is in great danger."

Li Shuncheng's words made Jin Wenzai's face look even worse.

The commander of the 187st Battalion of the 1th Airborne Regiment, Colonel Zach, who was awakened by the movement on Sniper Ridge, came directly to the division command post with his men.

He saw his commander Jin Wenzai sitting in his seat with a grim face.

Zach sneered.

"Master Jin, what did I say?

There is an old saying in China that goes "If you don't listen to the advice of elders, you will suffer the consequences."

I am not an old man, but I am very cautious. I have warned you a long time ago not to underestimate the volunteers, as they may launch an attack tonight.

How about it now? I was right. This is what happens when you underestimate your enemy.

You will pay for this defeat! Just wait for your punishment!"

When Jin Wenzai heard what Zach said, his face turned black and he immediately refuted him.

"Colonel Zach, it's a little early for you to say this and make this conclusion directly.

At present, we have only lost contact with the defenders on Sniper Ridge Heights, and we have quickly dispatched an infantry regiment to provide support.

I believe that these volunteers who attempt to attack our Sniper Ridge Heights will soon be wiped out by our division."

Seeing that Jin Wenzai was still stubborn even when facing death, Zak stopped talking to him and said coldly,

"Captain Jin, take care of yourself," he said, and left the command post without looking back.

Zack's performance made Chief of Staff Li Shuncheng unable to bear it any longer.

He immediately asked Jin Wenzai in a low voice,

"Commander, this Zach is too arrogant, but even though he is arrogant, he is telling the truth.

This time it seems that the Sniper Ridge Heights guarded by our division may have fallen into the hands of the Volunteer Army.

If we really fall into their hands, we will face the wrath of Van Fleet, commander of the US 8th Army.

By then, not only me as the chief of staff, but also you as the division commander may be dismissed and investigated, and our military careers will be over."

Lee Soon-sung's words made Kim Min-jae sigh.

"Hey... Staff Officer Li, don't we have any other options?"
