"Retreat? Put the enemy troops into Jinliangchang? Isn't this letting those stupid fishes into the sea?"
After hearing the order issued by Li Qiufan, Zhao Gang was very puzzled by it.
Because at present, the terrain advantage can be used to block the opening of Jinliangchangri. If the troops in the two mountain positions retreat and the enemy enters the hinterland of Jinliangchangri, there will really be no way to restrict it.
Because the terrain in the hinterland of Jinliangchang is very flat, it undoubtedly provides convenience to the enemy's rapid assault troops and gives them more room for operation.
"Don't worry, Old Zhao. If you dare to let them in, then I'm sure to keep them!"
After seeing Zhao Gang's reaction, Li Qiufan patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Order the three heavy artillery brigades to be ready. All the muzzles of the guns are aimed at Jinliangchang. After the enemy's rapid assault troops enter, I will cover the entire Jinliangchang with artillery fire!"
After comforting Zhao Gang, Li Qiufan immediately issued another order, which made Zhao Gang freeze on the spot.
"The entire Jinliang Field is covered with artillery fire? How many shells will it consume?"
After being stunned for a while, Zhao just came back to his senses, then looked at Li Qiufan and said.
"This is no longer a matter of how many artillery shells are consumed, but a matter of keeping our position while letting the soldiers survive as much as possible!"
Li Qiufan shook his head at Zhao Gang. Artillery shells were incomparable to human life. He would rather use all the artillery shells to keep the soldiers alive.
Because if we don't do this, we will have to use human lives to fill it. Li Qiufan knows how many people should have been sacrificed here.
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Zhao Gang nodded in agreement, and then said no more.
As Li Qiufan's order was issued, the troops in the Wenhengshan position and the Taihuashan position quickly began to retreat. At the same time, the three heavy artillery brigades also began to adjust their shooting at Zhuyuan, aiming their muzzles at Jinliangchangli.
It didn't take long for the enemy's rapid assault force to reach the pass in Jinliangchang, but they encountered no resistance, which made them very confused.
Then the commander of the rapid assault force stopped the troops and did not directly enter Jinliangchang. Instead, he reported to the commander of the beautiful country.
After receiving the report from the rapid assault force, the commander of the beautiful country was also very confused and felt that there must be something wrong with it.
After pondering for a long time, the American commander gave the order to the rapid assault force to continue moving forward.
At the same time, orders were issued to the 3rd Infantry Division and the 1st Cavalry Division to immediately send troops to occupy Wenheng Mountain and Taihua Mountain.
After receiving the order from the commander of the beautiful country, the rapid assault force began to move forward. At the same time, the 3rd Infantry Division and the 1st Cavalry Division sent a regiment to Wenheng Mountain and Taihua Mountain respectively.
"Order the outpost to keep an eye on the enemy's assault force and report to the armored division immediately after it arrives at the designated position!"
After learning that the enemy's assault troops had entered Jinliangchang, Li Qiufan immediately asked the correspondent to issue an order to the outpost, asking him to report as soon as the enemy troops entered the artillery position.
After entering Jinliangchang, the enemy's rapid assault force did not advance very quickly, and they were always vigilant about everything around them.
But they did not encounter any ambush or obstruction, which made the commander of the rapid assault force even more puzzled.
As time passed, the rapid assault force finally reached the artillery position, and the outpost reported directly to the armored division.
After receiving the news, Lao Ma immediately ordered all three heavy artillery brigades to open fire, covering the entire Jinliangchang with artillery fire.
As more than 150 heavy artillery pieces opened fire, the entire Jinliang Field instantly turned into a sea of fire, and all the enemy tanks and armored vehicles were swallowed up.
This scene was also seen by the troops of the 1st Cavalry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division who had just arrived at Wenheng Mountain and Taihua Mountain, and then reported it immediately.
After the commander of the beautiful country learned the news, he was so angry that he smashed the walkie-talkie in his hand.
He did not expect that the volunteers would give up supporting other positions and concentrate all their artillery to cover Jinliangchangli with artillery fire.
Li Qiufan did give up suppressing the enemy forces in other positions and aimed all the artillery muzzles at Jinliangchangli.
When the enemy's rapid assault troops entered Jinliangchangli, there was no artillery support from other positions, and they could only use their rifles and light and heavy machine guns to fight back.
What resulted was the complete destruction of the enemy's rapid assault force, and more than 400 tanks and armored vehicles were all buried in Jinliangchang.
"Order the troops to immediately launch a counterattack against the enemy troops at the Wenheng Mountain and Taihua Mountain positions and regain the positions for me!"
After the enemy's rapid assault force was destroyed, Li Qiufan immediately issued a counterattack order and asked the Third Division and the Fourth and Sixth Brigades of the Mountain Division to regain the position.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, the troops that had retreated to Wenhengli and Fali Peak immediately launched a counterattack and moved towards the Wenhengshan and Taihuashan positions.
At the same time, the 1st Cavalry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division also supported the Wenheng Mountain and Taihua Mountain positions, and the battle to seize the two mountain positions began.
"Order the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade and the 2nd Heavy Artillery Brigade to shell the enemy troops at the Wenheng Mountain and Taihua Mountain positions to help the Third Division regain their positions!"
"In addition, the Third Heavy Artillery Brigade was ordered to provide artillery support to various positions and push back all the charging enemy troops!"
After destroying the enemy's rapid assault force, Li Qiufan gave new orders to the three heavy artillery brigades, which were to recapture the two mountain positions and provide artillery support to other positions.
The Wenheng Mountain and Taihua Mountain positions are very important. They are the junction of the First Army and the Fourth Army. Once occupied by the enemy, it will affect the entire defense line.
Moreover, once the enemy forces occupy the Wenheng Mountain and Taihua Mountain positions, they can directly attack Jing'anli.
At that time, if we turn west and insert into Guangzhou, the entire Third Division and the Fourth and Sixth Brigades of the Mountain Division will become dumpling fillings.
If the flanking troops are surrounded, the entire First Army will be in danger, and they will have to abandon all positions and retreat.
Therefore, the Wenheng Mountain and Taihua Mountain positions must be recaptured no matter what. Li Qiufan even ordered two heavy artillery brigades to suppress the enemy forces in the two mountain positions.
The battle lasted until night. Under the fierce attack of the Third Division and the Mountain Division's two brigades, coupled with the artillery suppression of the two heavy artillery brigades, the Wenheng Mountain and Taihua Mountain positions were finally recaptured.
Then the 1st Cavalry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division organized many counterattacks in an attempt to seize the two mountain positions again, but they were all pushed back.
"It's finally dark. After being beaten all day long, it's time for me to fight back!"
As night fell, Li Qiufan looked at the enemy position opposite and said coldly.
