"Inform the armored division's convoy to come back as soon as possible. We and the enemy troops cannot afford to delay it!"
At this time, Li Qiufan was very anxious because he was afraid that the escaping First Cavalry Division would come back and kill him.
And the fact was just as he expected. After receiving the news from the commander of the beautiful country, the First Cavalry Division turned around and fought back.
As a result, the positions of the two sides were exchanged, and the troops sent out to block the attack were pinned down. They might not be able to escape when the First Cavalry Division arrived.
"Qiu Fan, we can't waste any more time. Give the order to withdraw the troops quickly. After the shells are gone, there is still a chance to capture them. If we delay any longer, the Second Division and the Eleventh Division will be surrounded!"
After hearing the report from the forward position that the 1st Cavalry Division was divided into two groups and outflanking the 2nd Division and the 11th Division respectively, Zhao Gang immediately said to Li Qiufan.
"Old Zhao, it's not a matter of whether we need artillery shells now. It's the Second Division and the Eleventh Division that have been held back by the enemy's reinforcements!"
Li Qiufan immediately frowned when he heard Zhao Gang's words, and then said to him.
"Order, the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade and the Third Heavy Artillery Brigade to provide artillery support to the Second Division and the Eleventh Division respectively."
"Notify the Second Division and the Eleventh Division to quickly withdraw from the battle with the help of artillery cover!"
"Order the tank regiment to intercept the enemy's mobile troops and cover the infantry's retreat!"
Before Zhao Gang could speak again, Li Qiufan ordered the heavy artillery brigade to provide artillery support and let the tank regiment cover the retreat of the two divisions.
However, the enemy troops also received the death order from the commander of the beautiful country and held back the 2nd Division and the 11th Division under fierce artillery fire.
Fortunately, the tank regiment blocked the enemy's mobile troops and did not cause the Second Division and the Eleventh Division to suffer too many casualties.
But the troops of the 1st Cavalry Division were already not far away from the 2nd and 11th Divisions, and they would definitely not be able to escape if they were delayed like this.
"Order the Third Division to immediately go to the location of the Second Division and help the Second Division block the reinforcements of the First Cavalry Division!"
"Order the 6th Brigade of the Mountain Division to immediately go to the location of the 11th Division to coordinate the breakout of the 11th Division and the tank regiment!"
"Order the 38th Army to take the initiative to attack the position of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country, and notify the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade to provide artillery support!"
"Order the First People's Army of the Northern Dynasty to drag the First Division of the Southern Dynasty and the Tuguo Brigade from the flanks."
"Order the 1st Division to join forces with the 5th Brigade of the Mountain Division to launch an attack on the enemy's 6th Division of the Southern Dynasty!"
Seeing that the enemy was determined to keep the 2nd Division and 11th Division, Li Qiufan went all out and even stopped defending the position, sending out the entire 3rd Division and the 6th Brigade of the Mountain Division.
In addition, he seized the opportunity when the enemy's troops on the western front were empty, and directly issued orders to the 38th Army, the First Division and other units to proactively launch an attack on the enemy's positions.
The Beautiful Country's 3rd Infantry Division on the western front now doesn't have much strength. All mobile troops have been sent to the two mountain positions to support the 1st Cavalry Division, and there are only two infantry regiments left.
In addition, the Southern Dynasty troops and the Tuguo Brigade were held back by the First Division and the Northern Dynasty People's First Army, and the 38th Army was able to confront them head-on.
At this time, both the enemy and ourselves had some advantages. The enemy troops surrounded Li Qiufan's 2nd Division and 11th Division in the two mountain positions. Li Qiufan took the opportunity to launch a counterattack against the enemy troops on the western front. It depends on whether he and the The commander of the beautiful country couldn't sit still first.
On the two mountain positions, although Li Qiufan sent the Third Division and the Sixth Brigade of the Mountain Division to support the Second Division and the Eleventh Division, he was still one step behind the First Cavalry Division and allowed it to complete the double-team.
In this way, the Third Division and the Sixth Brigade of the Mountain Division could only attack the troops of the First Cavalry Division and restrain their forces to help the Second and Eleventh Divisions break through.
Originally, the enemy and ourselves were still in a stalemate, but with the reinforcements of enemy aircraft, the situation changed instantly.
The situation at the 11th Division was not bad. When Li Qiufan asked it to reinforce and block the enemy, it was assigned an air defense battalion. The enemy aircraft with the air defense battalion did not cause too many casualties to the 11th Division.
The Second Division on the other side was not so lucky. Since there was no anti-aircraft firepower, the entire position was bombed by enemy aircraft.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of enemy aircraft, the Second Division and the Fourth Brigade were almost penetrated by the First Cavalry Division. Fortunately, the Third Division launched an all-out attack on the rear of the First Cavalry Division and successfully contained the enemy. offensive.
On the other side, compared to the difficulties of the two mountain positions, the attack of the 38th Army was extremely smooth.
With the First People's Army and the First Division of the Northern Dynasty restraining the Southern Dynasty troops and the Tuguo Brigade, facing the Third Infantry Division without tanks and armored vehicles, the 38th Army fought extremely fiercely.
Originally, the American 3rd Infantry Division did not take it seriously. They only thought that the Volunteers were putting pressure on the Western Front in an attempt to rescue the Volunteers in the two mountain positions.
But when the 38th Army actually reached their position, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country finally discovered that something was wrong. This group of volunteers was here to kill them.
And Li Qiufan's order to the 38th Army was indeed a real attack, not a feint attack to exert pressure to rescue the 2nd and 11th Divisions.
Because Li Qiufan was already considering the worst case scenario, which was that he would lose two divisions and destroy an entire division of the beautiful country on the western front.
If possible, destroy the two divisions of the Southern Dynasty and the Tuguo Brigade as a supplement.
The commander of the 38th Army also understood what Li Qiufan meant. He immediately ordered the troops to attack with all their strength and must annihilate the Beautiful Country's 3rd Infantry Division.
Under the fierce attack of the 38th Army, the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country, which was not far from the main position of Xiu Shan, was directly pushed back to Yemuli.
And after beating it to Yemu-ri, the momentum of the 38th Army did not weaken. It sent two regiments directly towards Suwon and went straight to the howitzer position of Meiliguo.
At this time, the 6th Division of the Southern Dynasty, which was in the Suwon area, had too much time to take care of itself. It was defeated steadily by the 1st Division and the 5th Brigade of the Mountain Division, and had no energy left to stop it.
This also led to the two regiments of the 38th Army to rush in quickly and unscrupulously, directly pulling out the howitzer position of the beautiful country.
Without artillery support, the 3rd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country was no longer an opponent, and was beaten by the 38th Army without the ability to fight back.
The other two regiments that destroyed the enemy's howitzer positions did not go to Nomuri. Instead, they were ordered by the commander of the 38th Army to assist the First Division in attacking the Sixth Division of the Southern Dynasties.
At this time, the Sixth Division of the Southern Dynasty had no defense and was still resisting the attacks of the First Division and the Fifth Brigade of the Mountain Division.
When the two regiments of the 38th Army suddenly appeared on the flank of the Southern Sixth Division, the commander of the Southern Sixth Division went numb.
It was already under great pressure to resist the First Division and the Fifth Brigade of the Mountain Division. Suddenly two regiments of the 38th Army launched an attack from the flanks, and the defense line of the Southern Sixth Division collapsed in an instant.
