"Old Zhao, send another report to the Volunteer Army Headquarters to ask how many more days it will take for our supplies to arrive!"
The enemy troops were not in a hurry to launch an attack after redeployment, but Li Qiufan could not sit still at this time.
Since supplies have not been delivered to the troops on the Western Front, the soldiers have begun to reduce consumption.
But under such circumstances, we can only hold on for about seven or eight days at most, and all the troops on the Western Front will be without food.
Therefore, Li Qiufan was very anxious about this. If supplies were no longer available, they would lose their combat effectiveness without the enemy coming to attack.
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Zhao Gang nodded towards him, and then found a correspondent to send a report to the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
At this time, it was not only Li Qiufan who was without supplies, but also the troops on the eastern front who had not yet received supplies.
The situation there was even worse than that of Li Qiufan's place. Several enemy troops were annihilated on the Western Front, and although not much material was seized from them, there was still some.
The Eastern Front has been in a tug-of-war and has yet to achieve substantial results, let alone seizing supplies from the enemy.
"Report to the commander, report from the front position of Xiuxian Mountain, the enemy's large force is advancing towards the main position of Xiuishan Mountain!"
The telegram urging supplies had just been sent out, and the enemy was already preparing to take action. The correspondent who received the news from the forward position quickly reported to Li Qiufan.
"These bitches, they are really born in the year of the dog. When I feel uncomfortable, they will smell it and come here to be mean!"
"Order all units of the 38th Army to be prepared. If the enemy launches an attack, they will launch a counterattack according to the predetermined plan!"
After hearing the news that the enemy was preparing to attack, Li Qiufan cursed angrily, and then asked the correspondent to issue orders to the 38th Army.
"Inform the Northern People's First Army of the enemy's attack and ask them to guard their flanks. Also notify the First and Second Divisions!"
"Order the 1st Heavy Artillery Brigade to be ready to provide artillery support to various positions at any time!"
"Order the Second Air Defense Battalion to enter the main position of Repair Mountain to prevent enemy air attacks on the main position."
After giving the order to the 38th Army, Li Qiufan once again made a series of arrangements.
Shortly after Li Qiufan issued the order, fighting broke out in various positions.
This time the enemy launched a full-scale attack, and every volunteer position was not spared, especially the Xiuishan position, which was hit the hardest.
The battle lasted for a full day and a half, but the enemy army had no intention of resting at all and continued to attack various positions.
"Old Zhao, why do I feel something is wrong!"
Li Qiufan observed the situation on the front line through the telescope, and then suddenly frowned and said to Zhao Gang.
"Something's wrong? What's wrong?"
After hearing what Li Qiufan said, Zhao Gang also raised his telescope and looked at the front line, but found no problem, and then asked him.
"Look, although the enemy troops fought very fiercely, they were all under artillery fire. They haven't launched a large-scale charge since the beginning of the fighting, and there aren't even many tanks and armored vehicles showing up!"
Seeing that Zhao Gang did not see the problem, Li Qiufan pointed to the direction of the front line and said to Zhao Gang.
"Are you thinking too much? The enemy may want to fight a war of attrition with us."
After hearing what Li Qiufan said, Zhao Gang thought for a while and said.
"Something's wrong! No matter how I look at it, it doesn't look like I'm trying to consume us, it's more like I'm trying to contain you with a feint!"
Li Qiufan frowned, shook his head at Zhao Gang, and then said to him.
"Fake attack and diversion? Are you saying that the enemy's goal is not to repair the mountain master's position?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's guess, Zhao Gang also frowned and asked him.
"Yes, I always feel that the enemy is going to make a big move!"
After hearing Zhao Gang's inquiry, Li Qiufan nodded and said to him.
At the same time, in the direction of the North Korean People's First Army's position, the enemy troops were gathering troops covertly.
Li Qiufan was indeed right, the commander of the beautiful country was indeed making arrangements.
With previous experience, the commander of the beautiful country also knew how difficult it was to repair the mountain master's position, so this time he decided to break through from other directions.
The one selected was the flank position stationed by the First People's Army of the Northern Dynasty. While launching attacks on other positions, the First Marine Division, which had just been transferred to the western front, moved closer to the left flank.
Responsible for attacking the First People's Army of the Northern Dynasties was the Beautiful Country's 3rd Infantry Division. Its two infantry battalions were in the front to attract attention, while the two Marine regiments of the 1st Marine Division were massing in the rear.
In addition to the two Marine regiments, the artillery regiment and tank battalion of the First Marine Division were also transferred over to prepare for a surprise attack on the First People's Army of the North Korea.
And for this raid, the 1st Marine Division also contacted its fixed air support unit, the 1st Air Force of the United States, in advance.
The battle lasted until the second night, when the two Marine regiments of the First Marine Division finally took action and began to advance covertly towards the front line under the cover of night.
However, the Northern People's First Army did not notice this situation at all because of its blocked vision at night, and was still fighting fiercely with the troops of the Beautiful Country's 3rd Infantry Division.
It was early in the morning, and there was just a glimmer of light in the sky. This was when the two armies were most exhausted.
After the 11th Artillery Regiment of the 1st Marine Division adjusted its shooting at Zhu Yuan, the two Marine regiments on the front launched a brazen attack.
In fact, to attack the First People's Army of the Northern Dynasties, one Marine regiment of the First Marine Division was more than enough, but for the sake of safety, the commander of the beautiful country directly transferred two Marine regiments.
As the two marine regiments took action, the 11th Artillery Regiment to which they belonged immediately launched an artillery bombardment on the positions of the First Army of the People's Republic of China.
The First People's Army of the Northern Dynasty was not prepared at all, and the entire position was instantly covered by artillery fire.
At the same time, the commander of the 1st Marine Division called the 1st Air Wing to conduct air strikes on the positions of the 1st North Korean People's Army.
Although they were far apart, Li Qiufan still vaguely heard the sound of cannons, and then immediately asked the correspondent to contact the First Army of the Northern Dynasty to inquire about the situation.
The First Army of the Northern Dynasty was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties under the enemy's bombardment. After receiving the news from Li Qiufan, he immediately reported it.
"It's broken! The enemy's target is our flank defense line, damn it!"
After receiving the report from the Northern People's First Army, Li Qiufan immediately cursed.
"what's the situation?"
Hearing Li Qiufan's angry scolding, Zhao Gang, who had just returned to the command post, asked him.
"Just now, the Northern People's First Army Corps was attacked by the enemy. They suffered heavy casualties in just one encounter!"
After hearing Zhao Gang's inquiry, Li Qiufan frowned and said to him.
