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

No matter how long the night is, the sun will always rise as usual.

As the first rays of morning sun set on the ground, in the early morning of the 13th, our army completely controlled Hengcheng and all nearby areas, and the Hengcheng counterattack achieved final victory.

In this battle, our army cooperated with the North Korean People's Army and launched a hard battle with the United Nations Army for 35 hours. We finally wiped out the remaining enemy troops, captured nearly 8000 enemy troops, and countless weapons and equipment.

This battle also became the single battle in which the largest number of American troops were annihilated since the war began.

The Hengcheng counterattack greatly reversed the passive situation of our army and also became a classic battle on the battlefield of Aid Korea.

Li Qiwei could never have imagined that the joint forces, which assembled 9 divisions, not only failed to suppress the Longguo army, but were forced to retreat 26 kilometers under the powerful offensive of the Longguo army.

You know, these 9 divisions are equipped with extremely sophisticated equipment!

The Dragon Army on the opposite side, after three battles, had not received any supplies at all.

Despite such a huge gap, they lost again.

After hearing about the casualties of the Allied Forces, he fell into a long silence.

He knew that from now on this battle would become an unforgettable nightmare in the history of American wars.

In fact, it was just as he expected.

Even after decades, Americans of later generations are still reluctant to mention the Hengcheng counterattack.

It is obvious how much shadow this battle brought to them.

The victory on the Eastern Front greatly reduced the combat pressure on the Western Front and bought some time for the overall deployment of our army.

The Zhisi called immediately to commend Deputy Commander Deng and the soldiers of various armies who participated in the battle.

In order to expand the results of the battle, Deputy Commander Deng planned to pursue the victory and wipe out the enemy in Chipyong-ni in one fell swoop.

He called together the division-level cadres of each army to discuss how to attack Dipingli.

Just like last time, Li Xiangyang is still among the ranks.

"According to intelligence, the enemy troops stationed in Dipingli are showing signs of escaping."

Deputy Commander Deng had a serious expression on his face. According to the predetermined plan, after defeating Hengcheng, the armies should continue to move south to encircle and intercept the enemies in the direction of Yuanzhou and Zhongzhou.

However, Dipingli is critically located. If it is not captured, it may threaten the rear of the large force.

"Deputy Commander, there are only one or two American battalions in the Dipingli area. It won't be difficult to capture it."

Commander Wu of the 39th Army analyzed: "I think our army should send out five regiments to penetrate and divide the enemy and quickly capture the area."

Hearing this, Deputy Commander Deng nodded.

The commander of the 39th Army was indeed an experienced man. Even though the enemy only had one or two battalions, he did not underestimate them at all. Instead, he suggested fighting with five regiments.

His words were recognized by the vast majority of people present.

Only Li Xiangyang frowned tightly.

He clearly remembered that the Battle of Dipingli was the first defeat our army had suffered since entering North Korea.

But he couldn't remember the specific reason for the failure.

"Li Xiangyang, what are you thinking about?!"

Chu Chuanyu reminded him, "The deputy commander is appointing Commander Xu to command this battle!"

"what?!"

Li Xiangyang was startled and quickly looked at the commander of the 119th Division, Xu Guofu, and found that the other party's face was not very good.

"Commander Xu, you will lead the two regiments of the 119th Division as the main force, and assign the 39rd Regiment of the 115th Division of the 343th Army, the 125th Regiment of the 375th Division, and the Artillery Regiment of the 42nd Army. Set off immediately!"

Deputy Commander Deng said.

"Deputy Commander, I haven't personally seen the terrain of Dipingli yet, so I don't know the situation. Moreover, the troops participating in the battle are from different divisions, so it's difficult for them to communicate with each other. Can we postpone it for a day?"

Xu Guofu asked.

"Can you bear the responsibility of letting the enemy escape?"

Deputy Commander Deng was somewhat displeased and scolded.

Helpless, Xu Guofu had to obey the order.

"Commander, you must not let Commander Xu face the enemy alone!"

Li Xiangyang was very anxious and didn't care about anything else. He quickly spoke to Chu Chuanyu.

"Xiangyang, are you being too cautious?"

Chu Chuanyu frowned and whispered, "The enemy only has one or two thousand people. Commander Xu has five regiments. Can't he take Dipingli?"

"Do you think that with Li Qiwei's intelligence, he would not understand the importance of Dipingli?"

Li Xiangyang said in a deep voice: "Not only will they not evacuate Dipingli, on the contrary, they will definitely send a large number of troops to reinforce!"

"Xiangyang, you think too much!"

Chu Chuanyu shook his head. "Hengcheng is gone. How can we hold back our army with only one or two thousand men in Dipingli? Li Qiwei is not a fool. He will not let his soldiers die in vain."

"Besides, this matter was decided by the deputy commander himself, so you don't need to say anything!"

Seeing that Chu Chuanyu didn't believe him, Li Xiangyang was extremely anxious.

At this moment--

"Li Xiangyang, you seem to have something to say!"

Deputy Commander Deng, who was sitting at the front, noticed Li Xiangyang's abnormality and asked with a smile.

He had a good impression of Li Xiangyang.

Although this person is young, he speaks and acts in an organized manner, and he is very smart. He is a good candidate.

"Xiangyang!"

Chu Chuanyu was a little anxious and pulled Li Xiangyang hard.

"Master, I'm sorry I can't obey your order!"

Li Xiangyang looked at Chu Chuanyu apologetically. He understood that the other party was doing it for his own good.

But there are some things he has to do.

"Deputy Commander, I don't think we should send only five regiments to attack Dipingli!"

Li Xiangyang stood up and said loudly.

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately aroused reactions from the crowd.

"Li Xiangyang, from what you said, you think five groups are not enough?"

The commander of the 42nd Army said.

Li Xiangyang nodded, "Five groups are indeed too few."

"Then how many people do you think we should send to attack Dipingli?"

Commander Wu of the 39th Army asked with interest.

He thought his proposal to send five regiments was safe enough, but he didn't expect that Li Xiangyang was even more ruthless than him.

"I think we should send at least three divisions!"

Li Xiangyang said word by word.

"Three divisions?!"

Everyone was surprised to hear this answer.

Deng Yue even glared at Chu Chuanyu, as if blaming him for not holding Li Xiangyang back.

Seeing this, Chu Chuanyu smiled bitterly: Deputy Commander, don’t you know what your own soldiers are like?

"Li Xiangyang, I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, are actually more stable than us old guys!"

The commander of the 60th Army said with a smile.

At first glance, these words seemed to be praising Li Xiangyang.

But there is no fool among those present, and everyone can hear the hidden meaning.

"Li Xiangyang, divide three divisions to attack Dipingli. How should the enemies in Yuanzhou and Zhongzhou respond?"

Deputy Commander Deng shook his head. "It's good to be cautious, but we have to choose the right time. Dividing our forces to fight is too much of a burden for our army. Your proposal cannot be implemented."
