General Smith came with the main force of the 1st Marine Division of the US Army, and rushed to the valley less than ten miles away from the east corner, General Smith faintly felt that something seemed to be wrong in front of him, and he was cunning and cunning, and did not dare to continue to move forward again, so he ordered the team to stop on the spot, and sent American scouts to reconnoiter along the road and the slopes on both sides of the east corner under the escort of several armored vehicles.
As long as the American scouts in the armored vehicles think that there is an abnormal movement on the opposite hillside, the light and heavy machine guns on these American armored vehicles will immediately open fire, regardless of whether there is a volunteer team in front of them, as usual, it is a crazy strafing, only in this way, these frightened and terrified American soldiers can find some self-confidence from it, in order to have the courage to continue to move forward in the direction of Dongyuli At this time, the brothers of the volunteer squad who harassed and attacked the US army team hid in the ravines and ravines around the highway, watching the US troops shoot indiscriminately on the road, and the volunteer battalion commander who led the team saw that their purpose of harassing the enemy had been achieved, and the officers and soldiers of the 1st Marine Division of the US Army were almost delirious by them, so that the original purpose of the squad to attack the enemy was achieved, that is, these US troops were nervous, and the grass and trees were all soldiers.
The two divisions of Fat Man and Ge Sanmin took the opportunity to storm in the eastern corner, and they would definitely be able to beat these Yankees half to death.
General Smith rushed along the way, met no resistance, thought that his fire reconnaissance method had worked, and his confidence had risen a lot, so he ordered the American troops to immediately speed up and rush to Dongyuli.
The commander of the US tank leading the team saw that the terrain in front was unfavorable to his tanks, so he ordered all the tanks to stop their advance, called General Smith in the back, and asked the infantry to send a team to reconnoiter the fire to ensure the safety of the passage of the armored troops.
General Smith believes that in the current situation, the infantry must have tanks and armored vehicles and other cover to advance, otherwise it may encounter the Chinese in the east corner, and the puppet military camp on the position in the east corner is estimated to be completely wiped out by the Chinese, and the sudden interruption of telephone contact is not a good sign; judging from General Smith's judgment of the combat effectiveness of the South Korean army, it is almost impossible for the puppet military camp guarding the east corner to survive, so that the east corner still fell into the hands of the cunning Chinese volunteersIn order to break through the defense of the Chinese on the opposite side, it is necessary to adopt the tactics of tank armored vehicle impact and infantry closely following, otherwise those infantry alone will not be able to break through the Chinese position in the eastern corner.
General Smith vetoed the opinion of the commander of the tank regiment and ordered them to launch a surprise attack on the eastern position of Yuli under the cover of a battalion of American infantry, breaking through the defensive line set up by the Chinese and opening the way for the large forces behind In this way, more than a dozen US tanks lined up on the road, and under the cover of four or five hundred US infantry, they rushed along the road towards the eastern corner, and a large number of planes from the American aircraft carriers flew overhead, and threw down huge aerial bombs and solidification on the eastern position, which blew up the fat man's position with thick smoke and flames.
Fortunately, the fat man dug a number of fire ditches in advance, so that the brothers on the battlefield were not burned by the fire, but the heat waves emitted by those fires melted the snow on the position, making the brothers' faces hot for a while.
In these seven or eight days, they not only have to fight to prevent the US troops from fleeing south, but also brave the northwest wind to march rapidly, many soldiers with weak physique can't survive, so they fell headlong on the march and died, and many brothers were frostbitten hands and feet, sent to the hospital in the rear, because the frostbite was too long, they could only amputate their limbs, plus they had to dig pits desperately to prepare for war between battles, and the soldiers' physical energy consumption was very large.
And eat just fried noodles and snow water, nutrition can't keep up, occasionally captured some canned food of the US army, but there are too few things, a drop in the bucket, it can't play a big role, in the east corner, the team has reached the point of relying on the belief that victory is supporting, can you block the surging US ace unit Marine Division here, Zhou Wu and Lao Xu They have no bottom in their hearts, the soldiers are fighting too hard, and they have exceeded the limit of what they can bear.
Fortunately, a batch of food and military uniforms were seized from the US military supply depot near Dongyuli this time, Zhou Wu took into account the actual situation of the troops, and gave all these hard-won American canned food and biscuits to the brothers of the forward troops guarding the position, including those US military coats and weapons and ammunition, so that the brothers of a regiment under the fat man and a regiment under Ge Sanmin put on the captured US military coats, ate canned beef, had sufficient ammunition, and were full of food and clothing.
Load your chamber, nest in the trenches, and wait for the American infantry to rush up and teach them another lesson Zhou Wu rushed to the possibility that he would not be able to stop these American troops in the east corner this time, so he hurriedly sent a telegram to the commander of the corps Song, asking for reinforcements to be sent to the east corner area to help his team intercept the 1st Marine Division that had fled south Commander Song immediately called back, saying that now the various units are dealing with the rest of the US troops in the area of Changjin Lake, due to the harsh weather conditions and the rugged mountain roads, all units have suffered heavy casualties, so there are no reinforcements to send, I hope that Zhou Wu's troops can do their best to defend the area around the east corner, even if they cannot completely annihilate the US 1st Marine Division, they must play the prestige of our volunteers Zhou Wu saw that it was impossible for reinforcements to come to the east corner, so he could only rely on the two and a half divisions under his own command to fight hard, if these US Marine Divisions could not be blocked in the east corner, I am afraid that there would be no such good opportunity in the future, once they fled to Yuanshan Port, then they could only stare at them and watch them escape, so this time Zhou Wu said that he had to fight for a while in the east corner, even if he took all his teams Determined to make up his mind, Zhou Wu ordered all of Tian's 35th Division to enter the attack position, and after the battle at Dongyuli began, launch an attack on the flank and rear of the American troops, and divide these American troops along the valley around Dongyuli, not seeking to eat the American army in one bite, but to concentrate absolutely superior forces, surround a small part of the American army, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop As for how to have an absolute advantage, Zhou Wu's standard for Division Commander Tian is that it must reach more than six to one, and when it encounters a US military unit covered by tanks and armored vehicles, it must have a ten-to-one superiority in strength, that is to say, Division Commander Tian, a full-fledged division of the "44 system" with more than 10,000 men and horses, can only surround two US battalions at most, so that he can have the goal of completely annihilating the US formed troops, and exchange the small amount for the victory of the entire campaign, which is also the only tactical method and deployment that Zhou Wu can think of in the current situation.
His troops have no other advantages over the ace divisions of the US army armed to the teeth, and can only win by relying on numerical superiority, that is to say, here in the east corner, he Zhou Wu wants to play "crowd tactics" with the US army in local positions, there is no way, there is no other capital to play, so he can only rely on this On the opposite side, General Smith, the commander of the 1st Marine Division of the US Army, did not think so, now he was thinking about rushing out and retreating safely to Wonsan Port, although he probably vaguely felt that in the east corner in front of him, the volunteers must be waiting for his arrival, but he did not expect that the opponent had pressed all the troops into the east corner, the number was more than eight times that of his own team, and they were all veterans of a hundred battles, if they wanted to break through the blocking and defense of these teams, It is unlikely that General Smith and his American troops will not break a few big teeth Under the cover of four or five hundred infantry, the tanks of the US advance team "rumbled" towards the fat man's frontal position, they were still the old way, first the planes bombarded indiscriminately, followed by the artillery behind a fierce bombardment, the tank guns also began to bombard, the position was full of fire, smoke, but how many volunteer soldiers were injured by their artillery fire, those US artillery did not know, anyway, they had already bombed, according to the reason, those Chinese on the front position are unlikely to survive, These shells have been carefully calculated by the US artillery, and the explosion distance between the shells and the explosion range of the shells are exquisite, judging from the intensity of the shelling of these shells, it is equivalent to plowing back and forth on the position in the east corner with a super plow, coupled with the solidification of the bombers flying from the aircraft carrier, a sea of fire on the Chinese positions on the opposite side, where there are still creatures The tank tracks roared over the snow "Caracalla", and the US infantry behind them became much bolder, straightened up their waists, and followed the tanks to rush forward, and the volunteer positions in front of them with black smoke and fire were only a few hundred meters away, and as long as they sprinted harder, they could break through the Chinese positions and withdraw to Wonsan Port, where warships and aircraft carriers were waiting to take them home t1706231537:
