Refuse to join the Wansui Army, I will build an ace division

Based on the fortifications built by the 40th Army, the 38th Army and the 50th Army built several lines of defense in Shuiyuan, Lizhou, Renchuan and other places to block the Allied Forces' advance northward.

The 39th, 40th, 40th and 66th Armies rushed to the eastern battlefield and coordinated with the three corps of the North Korean People's Army to deploy east of Hengcheng.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one.

Even though our army's response was fast enough, the coalition forces acted even faster.

In just less than a week, the coalition forces mobilized a large number of troops from the mainland and other regions and deployed them to the front line.

The Ninth American Army, which had been severely damaged, recovered after receiving supplies from the rear.

The commander of the 9th US Army, Moore, even made a harsh statement that this time he would wash away the previous humiliation and completely wipe out the Longguo army.

On January 1, the 27th Mi Division launched a fierce attack on Maoluo Mountain.

Maoluo Mountain is located in the south of Hanjiang River, right next to the Beijing-Fuzhou Railway and Highway, and its geographical location is very important.

The 50th Army, which was responsible for the defense of the Han River, participated in all three battles after entering North Korea. In the third battle, it wiped out the British Royal Tank Battalion in one fell swoop. It was also one of the troops that advanced the farthest to the south.

Due to insufficient supplies, the battle line should not be extended too long, so the 50th Army's defense depth is only 30 kilometers. Maoluo Mountain, Xiuli Mountain and Baiyun Mountain are the top priorities of this defense.

面对来势汹汹的米25师，50军148师443团8连在236.5高地总计击退敌人6次进攻，最终阵地失失守，全连仅存2名战士和6名勤杂人员。

The 113.8th Company defending Hill 7 launched a total of eight hand-to-hand combat battles with the Allied Forces after running out of ammunition. Machine gunner Tian Wenfu alone repelled four enemy charges and killed more than 4 enemies.

The coat he used to distract the enemy's attention was directly shot into a sieve. According to post-war statistics, there were more than fifty bullet holes on it.

While the bloody battle at Maoluo Mountain was going on, the blocking battle at Xiuli Mountain was also going on.

The 50th Regiment of the 148th Division of the 444th Army was stationed here. The commander of the M-25th Division resolutely implemented Li Qiwei's "sea of ​​fire tactics" and used powerful firepower to clear the way. The battalion-level firepower alone included 21 tanks and dozens of artillery pieces, which could be said to be armed to the teeth.

Hill 250 on Xiuli Mountain changed hands several times and was taken back by the 444th Company of the 8th Regiment. In the end, almost all of the 8th Company was killed or wounded.

"Is there anyone still alive?!"

During the last charge, the deputy company commander of the 8th Company shouted loudly to the corpses all over the ground.

"And I!"

"Deputy Captain, take me with you!"

Several bloody hands stretched out from the pile of dead bodies and raised high.

"Comrades, follow me and defeat American imperialism!"

Accompanied by a roar from the deputy company commander, the few remaining soldiers of the 8th Company launched a final charge towards Hill 250.

At the same time, almost all the soldiers of the 444nd Company of the 2th Regiment were killed. The 25-year-old Wang Ying picked up the explosive pack and rushed towards the American army.

"I'm going to kill you guys!"

Faced with Wang Ying's mad behavior, the American troops retreated in fear.

"boom!"

With an explosion, Wang Ying and seven or eight American soldiers died together.

The 44th Regiment, which was surrounded, held out on Xiuli Mountain for ten days and ten nights, killing more than American soldiers.

On the other side, the 50th Regiment of the 149th Division of the 447th Army stationed in Baiyun Mountain suffered a fierce attack from a force ten times its own.

For a full 11 days and nights, the 447th Regiment's position remained standing. The mountains and plains were filled with the corpses of American soldiers, and the land was dyed scarlet.

The 50th Army blocked the Allied Forces on the south bank of the Han River for ten days and ten nights. On February 1, the frozen Han River began to melt, and the 2th Army retreated to the north of the Han River for defense.

Brutal battles like this can be seen everywhere on the Western Front.

驻守太华山的38军112师336团5连，以几乎全部伤亡的代价击退米军13次进攻，坚守阵地三天三夜，共歼敌500宇人。

334团2营9连9班，仅剩潘天言1人独自坚守阵地，以1人打退米军1个排的进攻，共杀敌60余人

米骑1师1个团，在24架飞机、52辆坦克、50余门火炮支援下，向38军114师342团1营发动猛攻。击退敌人5次冲锋后，营长曹语海牺牲，营指导员方心海抱着炸药与米军同归于尽，直至击退米军7次冲锋后，全营仅剩2人。

When Commander Liang learned about the situation at the front line, his tiger eyes were filled with tears.

"Everyone in our 38th Army is awesome!"

Even so, our army still did not give up and fought a fight to the death with the US army.

While the bloody battle was going on on the Western Front, the 39th, 40th, 42nd and 66th Armies arrived at the Eastern Front one after another.

In the temporary command center, cadres at the army division level and above gathered here to discuss the next combat plan.

Among all the big guys, Li Xiangyang stands out.

The reason he was able to come was entirely because Deputy Commander Deng specifically requested it.

Li Xiangyang was very self-aware. He knew that he was just here to listen. Before coming, Chu Chuanyu also repeatedly reminded him not to talk nonsense.

So he huddled quietly in the corner without attracting other people's attention.

Not long after, Deputy Commander Deng walked in.

"Tell me, how are we going to fight next?"

As Deputy Commander Deng spoke, the commanders of various armies gave their suggestions one after another.

For a moment, the small command center was in chaos.

But half an hour passed and no one's idea was adopted.

Deputy Commander Deng's brows were getting tighter and tighter. These veteran killers were all vying to take the lead, completely ignoring the fact that the key to this mission was to defend the eastern front.

"Don't forget, our mission is to defend, not to attack!"

Deputy Commander Deng could no longer bear it and slammed the table hard.

After these words were spoken, the commanders of each army looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The area around Hengcheng was easy to attack but difficult to defend, and the various armies lacked supplies. It was undoubtedly a pipe dream to expect to stop the well-equipped Allied Forces with simple fortifications.

Deputy Commander Deng had also fought in many wars and knew very well that it was almost impossible to defend Hengcheng head-on.

Therefore, he was not too angry about everyone's helplessness, but he could not help feeling a little depressed.

Seeing that the enemy was about to attack, our side had not yet come up with a countermeasure.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Li Xiangyang in the corner.

Just now everyone was discussing enthusiastically, except this boy who was silent, like a piece of wood.

Thinking that the commander was very optimistic about this man, Deputy Commander Deng immediately said, "Li Xiangyang, do you have any ideas?"
