The Bright Sword of Changjin Lake becomes stronger

Chapter 179 The Counterattack Begins!
Faced with the powerful offensive of the US military, Shiji responded quickly and adopted the tactic of "top in the west and let go in the east".

The so-called "West Front and East Front" means that the Western Front withstands the powerful offensive of the US military, while the Eastern Front concentrates its superior forces and launches a swift and violent attack.

Shortly after arriving at the south bank, the Wuqianli Department also received the telegram and immediately rushed to the eastern front battlefield to cooperate with the main counterattack of our army.

After a while, various combat units took advantage of the darkness and quickly arrived at the forefront of the Eastern Front.

Eastern Front Command Post, inside the combat command hall

"Wu Qianli, I have heard of your reputation for a long time, and today I finally met you in person, hahaha..."

The commander looked at Wu Qianli and smiled slightly.

"Commander, you are so complimentary. Qianli is just lucky, so he has achieved some achievements, which are not worth mentioning at all."

Wu Qianli smiled slightly.

"Okay, stop being modest, we are not into this."

"I heard my boss praise you for your strategic vision and unique fighting style. Tell me how you think you will fight next?"

The commander looked directly into Wu Qianli's eyes, obviously wanting to take a test in school.

"Okay! A little humble opinion can be used as a starting point."

"On the Eastern Front, although we have mobilized a large number of elite regiments, it is not realistic to quickly defeat the US military."

Wu Qianli pointed at the US military logo on the combat map and shook his head.

"continue."

The corners of the commander's mouth raised slightly, and he raised his hand and said.

He had seen Wu Qianli's achievements, which were indeed brilliant, but too reckless and risky.

Originally, he thought Wu Qianli would talk nonsense, but he didn't expect that he would be the first to admit the difficulties.

"Although it is difficult for the US military to attack, it is completely different if the main attack direction is directed at the South Korean army."

"You see, the Eighth Puppet-Korean Division serves as an auxiliary to defend the US military's eastern flank."

"As long as we mobilize our elite troops to quickly defeat the Eighth Puppet-Korean Division, gaps will appear on the flanks of the U.S. military's defense line."

"In this way, we can use this gap to threaten their entire defense line."

"As long as the army takes advantage of the darkness to attack, they will be completely defeated!"

Wu Qianli met the commander's gaze and smiled.

“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha…good!”

"Your boy wants to go with me."

"Who can't pick on the weak? Let's talk about the specific deployment."

The commander looked at Wu Qianli with a look of appreciation, but not surprise.

"Let's just talk about Qianli. If there is anything inappropriate, please correct me."

Wu Qianli saw through the commander's thoughts and smiled.

"First, the elite 117th Division should be allowed to move closer to the northwest of Hengcheng and cut off the western retreat of the Eighth Division of the Puppet Korean Army."

"Order the main force of the 66th Army to approach the southeast of Hengcheng and cut off the retreat route to the east of the Eighth Division of Han Dynasty."

"Then, the 125th Division detoured back to the southwest of Hengcheng and set up ambush positions, ready to ambush the U.S. support troops at any time."

"The 39th Army penetrated into Longtou Lane and stared at the U.S. troops in Diping. If they dared to move out, they would be beaten hard."

"Finally, order the 40th Army to storm the Han Eighth Division's position with thunderous force."

"In this way, this battle can be decided!"

Wu Qianli clenched his fist with his right hand and slammed it on the combat map.

Quiet, as quiet as a pin drop in the command hall
The commander stared at Wu Qianli with wide eyes, and a storm suddenly arose in his heart.

"Wu Qianli, the boss is right, you are a damn military genius!"

The commander quickly calmed down and praised him heartily.

"Commander, I was just lucky and confused."

Wu Qianli's face turned red and he said with a hint of shame.

"Okay, no need to say those polite words."

"I originally thought that the boss gave you too much autonomy on the battlefield, making it difficult to coordinate and command." "Now it seems that the Gangqi Regiment will become a knife hidden in the dark, stabbing the most critical place on the battlefield at any time. "

"Go ahead and find valuable targets according to your ideas. I will not interfere with your tactical command."

The commander waved his hand and said.

"Yes!"

Wu Qianli responded loudly, left the command post, and walked towards the headquarters of Gang [-]th Regiment.

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

Soon, the big counterattack begins

On the eastern front, the elite main force of our army launched a fierce attack on the Eighth Division of the Puppet Korean Army in accordance with the combat plan.

At the beginning, the Eighth Puppet-Korean Division resisted resolutely for a while, and struggled to repulse the tentative attack of our army's vanguard.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the commander of the Eighth Puppet Korean Division hurriedly wanted to call for U.S. military support.

But before the signal for help was sent, our army launched a formal attack.

Under the fierce artillery fire, countless soldiers rushed to the position.

A large number of grassroots troops of the Eighth Division of the Puppet Korean Army retreated, and many troops surrendered in an organized manner.

The commander seized the rare opportunity and ordered to pursue the victory and expand the results.

Soon, the Eighth Puppet Korean Division collapsed completely during the retreat, and the organization of all Korean soldiers was broken up.

By this time, U.S. military support finally arrived "belatedly".

In fact, the US military did not arrive too late. The main reason was that our army's offensive was too fierce and the Han Eighth Division was defeated too quickly.

The Ninth Regiment of the U.S. Second Division rushed forward slowly, and when they were halfway through the battle, they happened to run into our troops who were pursuing the puppet Korean soldiers.

Both sides were unprepared and entered into a direct encounter.

The Ninth Regiment of the U.S. Second Division relied on fierce firepower to build simple defensive positions on the spot to block our army.

The commander mobilized superior forces and launched a massive attack on the US military.

However, the Ninth Regiment of the US Army had too much firepower and was supported by a large number of tanks and bombers. It was unable to take down the enemy for a while.

Fortunately, the Eighth Puppet-Korean Division was defeated at the first opportunity. The U.S. Army's Ninth Regiment was unable to support itself and had to slowly withdraw to Hengcheng.

At this time, Wu Qianli led the Gang [-]th Regiment to penetrate behind the [-]st US Army Regiment, assuming a posture to cut off its retreat.

In addition, the main force of our army on the eastern front launched a fierce attack on three sides of the enemy city, and a large number of artillery fire lit up the dark night.

Seeing that the casualties were too high, the commander of the US Ninth Regiment ordered the city to be abandoned before the encirclement was completely closed, and immediately broke out.

U.S. Army Command

"What did you say?!"

"Fuck you!"

"Those bastards actually withdrew without my order!"

Li Qiwei angrily tore up the telegram asking for help and roared loudly.

"General, the enemy mobilized a large number of elite regiments and defeated the friendly Eighth Division immediately."

"The Ninth Regiment held on to Hengcheng and suffered heavy casualties. In order to avoid being completely annihilated, they had no choice but to break through."

US Army Chief of Staff Dole lowered his head and explained in a low voice.

"No matter how fierce their offensive is, they can only show their power at night!"

"As long as we survive the remaining half of the night, it's a good time for us to fight back. They actually retreated?"

"Let them stop immediately, build a position on the spot, and block them immediately."

"As soon as day breaks and reinforcements arrive, launch a counterattack immediately!"

Ridgway threw the torn telegram into the air and shouted loudly.

"Yes, sir!"

Dole wiped the sweat from his forehead and responded quickly.
