After five planes were shot down, the pilots of the beautiful country did not dare to continue the bombing mission and even turned around and returned.
At the same time, the commander of the beautiful country's aircraft carrier fleet also learned of this situation. He immediately contacted the commander of the Tenth Army and asked him why he did not report that the enemy had anti-aircraft weapons.
The commander of the Tenth Army looked very ugly after being scolded by the Air Force Command, and then ordered the Nanchao Capital Division and the Third Division to prepare for an attack on Huangcaoling, and their Tenth Army provided artillery support.
The commander of the First Army of the Southern Dynasty immediately transferred the Third Division after receiving the order. After all, the Capital Division had just lost more than 2,000 people before.
After learning that the Southern Dynasty troops were ready, the commander of the Tenth Army of the Beautiful Country issued an order for artillery bombardment, and then the artillery position of the First Marine Division bombarded Yantai Peak and the high ground to its north.
"It finally showed up. Order the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Armored Division to immediately calculate the location of the opponent's artillery position. Find it and destroy it for me!"
Seeing that the enemy had begun shelling the Yantai Peak position, Li Qiufan immediately issued an order to the armored division to calculate the location of the opponent's artillery position.
At the same time, the Third Division of the Southern Dynasty also began to attack Yantai Peak, and the First Marine Division directly sent eighteen tanks to clear the way for it.
"Order the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade of the Armored Division to carry out artillery fire to suppress the enemy troops attacking Yantai Peak. In addition, I asked Lao Ma to pull up the cannon and fire it at the enemy tanks that I am aiming at!"
Seeing that the Southern Dynasty troops began to attack Yantai Peak, Li Qiufan immediately ordered the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade to open fire and also brought up the field cannons.
After the six field cannons were pulled up, Dang even began to attack the enemy tanks, and several of them were destroyed within a short time.
After the commander of the 1st Marine Division saw this scene, he quickly moved the tanks back, reported the situation, and asked whether they were fighting Northern Korean troops.
At this time, the commander of the Tenth Army was also confused. He did not expect that there would be so many heavy weapons on the opposite side, from anti-aircraft guns, large-caliber howitzers, to field cannons. This configuration, if not counting the quantity, was even more luxurious than them.
Seeing that a frontal attack was not advisable, the commander of the Tenth Army immediately modified the order.
Let the First Army of the Southern Dynasty be restrained at Huangcaoling, and then mobilized two Marine regiments of the First Marine Division to go around Gaodashan, hoping to launch a surprise attack on the flank of Huangcaoling after passing there.
However, a division of the First Army had already laid an ambush in Gaodashan, and immediately launched an attack after the two Marine regiments of the First Marine Division approached.
Although they were ambushed, the two marine regiments quickly organized a counterattack and withdrew in an orderly manner.
This raid did not cause much damage to the two enemy marine regiments, with only a few hundred casualties in total.
The soldiers of the First Army finally saw the strength of the beautiful Chinese troops and understood that what Li Qiufan said was not an exaggeration.
Although the two marine regiments were caught off guard, they directly suppressed the soldiers of the First Army with the powerful firepower of a submachine gun.
This is why the other party was able to withdraw so quickly with so few casualties.
After the two enemy marine regiments withdrew, the division commander in charge of the Gaodashan defense line immediately reported to Li Qiufan.
After receiving the news that the other party was trying to detour, Li Qiufan smiled with a slight smile.
"Erhu, have you heard the news from your troops? One division left hundreds of people behind in an ambush. Do you still think the difference is not big?"
After putting down the walkie-talkie, Li Qiufan turned to Erhu and asked.
"Commander, I know I was wrong!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Erhu lowered his head. He knew his own troops well, and this was achieved only when they ambushed the opponent. This was enough to prove the strength of the beautiful country's troops.
"You are indeed wrong in terms of attitude, but there is no need to take them too seriously. They are all carrying one head on two shoulders. No one should we be afraid of at all costs!"
Seeing that Erhu realized his mistake, Li Qiufan nodded with satisfaction, and then patted his shoulder to comfort him.
At the same time that Li Qiufan received the news, the commander of the 10th Army of the Beautiful Country also received a report from the First Marine Division.
At this moment, he knew that what he was facing was definitely not the Northern Dynasty troops, but he couldn't believe that the volunteers' troops had such luxurious weapons and equipment.
Then the commander of the Tenth Army did not withdraw the two marine regiments, but kept them on standby.
Then the commander of the Tenth Army gave an order to another of his troops, which was the Third Infantry Division.
The commander of the Tenth Army mobilized the 7th and 15th regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division and ordered them to rush to Battle Ridge quickly.
He did not believe that the enemy on the opposite side would spread the battle line so long. He wanted to attack from three passes at the same time.
After the two regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division arrived at Battle Ridge, the commander of the Tenth Army immediately issued an order to attack, and then the three front lines of troops launched an attack at the same time.
Li Qiufan also received the news immediately, and then issued a counterattack order to the First Army troops in the Gaodashan position and Li Yunlong.
After receiving the information that the two regiments going to Zhanling had also been blocked, the commander of the Tenth Army became numb. He did not expect that there would be so many people in the enemy troops on the opposite side.
"Correspondent, order the troops in Caofangling to retreat and make way for the enemy!"
Not long after the third-line battle, Li Qiufan suddenly issued an order that confused everyone.
"Tell the troops in Caofangling to withdraw? Make way for the enemy? What kind of strategy are you talking about?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's order, Zhao Gang asked him in confusion, and Erhu on the side also looked over.
"You've been working so hard, why don't you invite people in for a cup of tea?"
After hearing Zhao Gang's inquiry, Li Qiufan did not explain it, but instead made a joke.
"How long have you been kidding me?"
Zhao Gang was a little annoyed. After all, this was the time of war, and he really wasn't in that mood.
"You will know after reading it!"
Li Qiufan still didn't explain, giving everyone a pass.
After the order was issued, although the troops stationed at Caofangling were confused, they chose to carry it out.
After the troops stationed in Caofangling withdrew from their positions, the enemy also noticed this.
The commander of the First Army of the Southern Dynasty thought it was the result of his own attack, and immediately issued an order to continue deeper.
Then, without reporting to the commander of the beautiful country, the Third Division of the Southern Dynasty restrained the two regiments on Yantai Peak and the highlands on its north side. The Capital Division took the opportunity to cross Caofangling and penetrate deep into the true rear. Xingli.
