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

Chapter 99: The battle is over, He Daming gets the first merit and is promoted to deputy commander

Before he could go to the outskirts of the camp to check the specific situation, he saw that his cadre team was controlled by the soldiers of the South Korean Second Division.

This sudden strange phenomenon caught Nick off guard. He looked at Kim Moon-jae, the former commander of the South Korean Second Division, with a confused look on his face.

"Master Jin, what do you mean?"

Jin Wenzai sneered at Nick's question.

"Commodore Nick, isn't this obvious enough?"

When Nick heard what Jin Wenzai said, his heart sank. The thing he feared most seemed to have happened, that is, Jin Wenzai might have turned against him.

"Mr. Kim, do you know what you are doing? You are betraying the U.S. military and South Korea. Aren't you afraid of becoming a sinner of your nation?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Wenzai burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... sinner? Don't scare me with that. When I decide to turn against you, morality and South Korea, go to hell with them.

You don't have to laugh at me. You are worse than me now. You are a prisoner, while I am a wise bird that chooses the right tree to roost in. I chose to abandon darkness and join the light yesterday."

Nick frowned when he heard what Jin Wenzai said.

"Mr. Jin, are you crazy? Don't forget that we still have an infantry regiment in your camp, and two armored regiments outside!"

Jin Wenzai did not show any fear or panic in the face of Nick's threat.

"Brigadier General Nick, open your eyes and take a good look at what your so-called armored regiment and infantry regiment are like."

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

At the beginning of the operation, the 359th Regiment and the 360th Regiment took control of the entire infantry regiment of the US 1st Cavalry Division and captured them after a brief exchange of fire.

The armored regiment outside the position was also ambushed by two regiments under the 29th Division.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the commanders of the two regiments did not engage in tangle with these volunteer soldiers disguised as the South Korean Second Division, but decisively evacuated southward, thus avoiding the fate of being captured.

One of the U.S. military's ace troops, the elite 1st Cavalry Division, lost 2/3 of its troops to the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, along with most of its tanks and heavy artillery, simply because of the betrayal of Kim Moon-jae, commander of the South Korean nd Division.

This was a huge bargain for He Daming, the commander of the 40th Division of the 120th Army of the Volunteer Army.

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

Soon, news of the destruction of the U.S. 1st Cavalry Division and the rebellion of the South Korean 2nd Division reached the ears of Van Fleet, commander of the U.S. 8th Army.

He was so angry that he almost tore down the entire office. You know, he lost two elite divisions this time.

Upon learning the news, the US commander-in-chief, Matthew Lee, called Van Fleet directly and cursed at him.

Due to the loss of two main divisions, the US 7th Division alone could no longer pose any threat to Shangganling.

As a result, the US military's showdown operation came to an end and the plan to attack Shangganling failed ahead of schedule.

Thanks to the outstanding performance of He Daming's 120th Division, the Volunteer Army won a great victory in this battle.

In this battle, many soldiers from various units under the 120th Division where He Daming was stationed were awarded special merit and first-class merit.

Many soldiers of the 15th Army were awarded special and first-class individual merits, and several were even named special combat heroes.

As for He Daming's good nephew He Yuzhu, he was awarded the first-class individual merit once for his outstanding performance, and was even named a first-class combat hero and promoted to deputy battalion commander.

As for He Daming himself, he was highly appreciated and praised by Zhisi.

Zhisi even had a discussion about He Daming's outstanding performance.

The main leaders of the Zhisi believed that the 120th Division led by He Daming had successfully defended the Triangle Mountain Heights.

From beginning to end, the high ground was not allowed to fall into the hands of the US military. This fully demonstrated his command ability and proved that the combat quality of all members of their 120th Division was very high.

In addition, due to the leadership of He Daming, commander of the 120th Division, the surrender of the South Korean 2nd Division and the concerted efforts to capture an ace division of the US military, this also accelerated the failure of the US military's showdown operation.

He was the first to make a contribution in this battle. In addition, he also seized a large number of tanks and artillery, as well as a large amount of military supplies. Such a huge achievement must be rewarded and promoted.

For this reason, the main leaders of the Zhisi decided to promote him to the deputy commander of the 40th Army, but this proposal was opposed by most of the leaders.

Because they thought that He Daming's promotion was a bit too fast. He had only participated in the Korean War for less than two years, but he had already risen from a regimental commander to a division commander, and now he was going to be promoted to deputy army commander.

Such a promotion speed is explosive in the entire military history.

Therefore, conservatives believe that He Daming's qualifications are not enough and he needs to wait a few more years.

However, the main leader of Zhisi had a different opinion. He felt that although He Daming's qualifications were insufficient, his demonstrated abilities and military exploits were fully matched.

To this end, he ignored all objections and directly promoted He Daming to the position of deputy commander of the 40th Army.

However, it was obvious that other leaders would not let He Daming continue to stay in the 40th Army. After a series of heated discussions, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

He Daming was promoted to deputy army commander, but not in the 40th Army. Instead, he went directly to the 15th Army. This can be considered a way of balancing.

After all, He Daming is a grassroots person in the true sense.

When He Daming learned that he had become the deputy commander of the 15th Army, his face showed more surprise than joy.

Political Commissar Zhang Tang was the first to congratulate him.

"Old He, no, I'm going to call you Deputy Commander He from now on. You're really good. You got promoted so quickly."

He Daming scratched his head when faced with the words of Political Commissar Zhang Tang.

"Old Zhang, please stop laughing at me. I am still a little surprised by this promotion. I thought it was just an ordinary commendation because I am not qualified based on my qualifications and years of service."

Facing He Daming's doubts, Zhang Tang spoke again: "Old He, I heard that it was the main leader of the Zhisi who made the decision. Originally, they wanted you to be the deputy of our Commander Wen, but I didn't expect that you would end up being the deputy of Commander Qin."

When He Daming heard that he was going to become Qin Wei's subordinate, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Because he knew Qin Wei's character better than anyone else. Although he was promoted from a division commander to a deputy army commander, he knew very well that this deputy army commander was just a figurehead and his power was not as great as his original position as the commander of the 120th Division. However, since this was the arrangement from above, he would just accept it with pleasure.
