At this time, the 2nd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country was still retreating in the direction of Sanso-ri, trying to go to Sunchuan to join the 1st Cavalry Division.
At this time, the 38th Army had already deployed blocking positions and was waiting for the arrival of the Second Infantry Division.
Unexpectedly, the Second Infantry Division in Sansuoli and Longyuanli was seized by the volunteers, and immediately ran into the defense line of the 38th Army, and then the two sides started fighting.
The same was true for the 25th Infantry Division on the other side. Unknown to them, the 24th Infantry Division and the 1st Nanchao Division had just broken through, and the Mountain Division had arrived in Anzhou and deployed an interception defense line.
The 25th Infantry Division, eager to break out of the encirclement, immediately launched an attack on Li Yunlong's Mountain Division, because they would not be able to escape if they delayed any longer.
However, the Mountain Division's defense line was not so easy to break through. Although the Mountain Division did not have heavy weapons, it relied on submachine guns, rocket launchers and mortars to force the 25th Infantry Division to be stuck in the Anzhou area.
At the same time, the battle between the American Second Infantry Division and the 38th Army became increasingly fierce.
With the strength of one army, the 38th Army still had a difficult time blocking the attack of the entire Second Infantry Division.
The Second Infantry Division has a total strength of nearly 20,000 troops, and is also equipped with a Turkish brigade and the Third Regiment of the Southern Dynasties.
Moreover, the Second Infantry Division also possesses tanks, heavy artillery, and other weapons and equipment that are more advanced than those of the Volunteer Army.
Although the 38th Army has a slight advantage in terms of military strength, it cannot compare with it in terms of hardware configuration.
The commander of the 38th Army also understood this, and immediately ordered his troops to conduct echelon attacks on the enemy, using multiple blockades to slow down the enemy's advancement.
Because the commander of the 38th Army already knew that the Fourth Army was marching in the direction of Jiechuan, they could launch a counterattack after the Fourth Army was in place.
Li Qiufan wanted to expand the results of the battle, that is, this battle would leave at least two entire divisions of the Meili Kingdom behind, and directly defeat them.
The commander of the Ninth Army of the Beautiful Country also received news of the obstruction of the Second Infantry Division at this time, and immediately ordered the First Cavalry Division in Sunchuan to go to Sansuoli to help the Second Infantry Division break through.
At this time, the First Army had arrived in the Beicangli area and diverted towards the rear of the 38th Army.
The mission of the First Army is to rush to the rear of the 38th Army, block the First Division of the Beautiful National Cavalry that may come to support, and ensure the safety of the rear of the 38th Army.
"Old Zhao, in the name of my first deputy commander, send a message to the Volunteer Army Headquarters, inform them of the location of the Mountain Division, and request the headquarters to arrange troops to encircle Anzhou and eliminate the 25th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country!"
Now the Fourth Army is marching urgently to Jiechuan, and it is not far away. The fate of the Second Infantry Division is basically a foregone conclusion.
Li Qiufan immediately asked Zhao Gang to send a telegram to the Volunteer Army Headquarters, requesting the headquarters to arrange for troops from the Thirteenth Corps to cooperate with the Mountain Division to eliminate the 25th Infantry Division of the beautiful country.
The boss's eyes widened after receiving Li Qiufan's telegram. He never expected that Li Qiufan would have a division penetrate into the Anzhou area and intercept the enemy's 25th Infantry Division.
The boss had no time to think too much at this time. When he asked the correspondent to give the order to the 40th Army and the 50th Army, he asked the two armies to quickly move closer to the Anzhou area and launch an attack on the 25th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country. attack.
While the boss was dispatching troops, the Fourth Army finally arrived in Jiechuan and made contact with the 38th Army.
"Damn it, the Fourth Army is here, I can finally vent my anger!"
After hearing the news from the Fourth Army reported by the correspondent, the commander of the 38th Army immediately cursed and then ordered the troops to start a counterattack.
As the 38th Army turned from defense to attack, the fire support of the Fourth Army also arrived. The 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade opened up its firepower and covered the 2nd Infantry Division of the United States with artillery fire.
The 2nd Infantry Division, which was under shelling, instantly became confused. The commander of the 2nd Infantry Division looked towards the rear with his binoculars in horror.
In his sight, dozens of tanks and M16 anti-aircraft armored vehicles suddenly appeared, followed by a large number of infantry.
In order to quickly and effectively attack the enemy, Li Xiping directly sent the M16 anti-aircraft armored vehicles used for air defense, and cooperated with two tank battalions to launch a charge against the Second Infantry Division.
The M16 anti-aircraft armored vehicle is a nightmare for infantry. Not only is it effective in countering infantry charges, but the effect of the charge is also not bad. The fierce firepower directly suppresses the enemy and cannot lift its head.
Seeing the fierce firepower of the volunteers coming from the rear, the commander of the Second Infantry Division quickly mobilized troops to make up for the rear positions.
Although the 38th Army on the other side did not have the strong firepower of the Fourth Army, the defeat in the previous battle made everyone hold their breath.
Now that they had a chance to vent their anger, all the soldiers of the 38th Army rushed forward with roars, and the pressure they exerted on the enemy was no less than that of the Fourth Army.
The beautiful country's 2nd Infantry Division, which was attacked from the front and back by the two armies, was helpless. Especially the Tu Kingdom's brigade was so frightened that they could not even hold their guns steady.
As the troops of the 2nd Infantry Division moved closer to the rear, the troops in the front were empty. The commander of the 38th Army immediately seized this opportunity and penetrated the frontal defense line of the 2nd Infantry Division.
As the enemy's defense line was penetrated, the troops of the 38th Army began to penetrate deeper, aiming directly at the artillery positions of the Second Infantry Division.
After being penetrated in depth by the 38th Army, the commander of the Second Infantry Division was completely panicked. If the artillery position was destroyed, they would have no choice but to wait for death.
Originally, they could only rely on their firepower advantage to suppress the volunteers. Once this advantage was gone, they would be the lambs to be slaughtered.
But the 38th Army did not give them a chance. After breaking into the enemy's depth, they quickly and accurately found the artillery position of the Second Infantry Division.
Facing the charge of the volunteer infantry, the beautiful country's artillery had no way to stop it and could only surrender with its hands raised.
While the 38th Army successfully removed the artillery position of the Second Infantry Division, the Fourth Army also successfully penetrated the enemy's rear line of defense. The M16 anti-aircraft armored vehicle was like the god of death, frantically harvesting the enemy's lives.
As a result, the Second Infantry Division no longer had the ability to resist, and the soldiers began to flee in all directions, with most choosing to abandon their guns and surrender.
Just as the battle in Sansuoli was coming to an end, the First Army also collided with the First Division of the Beautiful National Cavalry that came to support, and the two sides immediately started fighting.
The 1st Cavalry Division did not know at this time that the 2nd Infantry Division was on the verge of destruction, and was still thinking of repelling the volunteer troops in front of them and going to support them.
