"Crossing the river? An order from the Volunteer Army Headquarters?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's order, Zhao Gang raised his head and asked him.
"See for yourself."
Li Qiufan nodded towards Zhao Gang, and then handed over the telegram in his hand.
"Well, then our previous resistance was not in vain, and now we have retreated to the north bank of the Han River."
After reading the telegram, Zhao Gang frowned and said to Li Qiufan.
"The fight is not in vain. Our blockade here bought time for the next batch of troops to enter the peninsula area. How can it be considered in vain?"
After hearing what Zhao Gang said, Li Qiufan smiled and said to him.
"Next batch? Qiu Fan, how do you know?"
Zhao Gang was a little confused after hearing Li Qiufan's words. He didn't understand how he knew that the next batch of troops was entering the peninsula.
"I can do calculations. Lao Zhao, do you want me to do the calculations for you and see if you can get a wife?"
Li Qiufan smiled at Zhao Gang and joked with him casually.
"Get lost! I'm not in the mood to joke with you here!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Zhao Gang only thought that he was making himself happy, and then said something indifferent.
"Then when do you plan to cross the river? The enemy is chasing us so close, I'm afraid they won't let us go back safely."
After the joke, Zhao Gang asked Li Qiufan with a solemn expression.
"It definitely won't work during the day. Enemy planes are flying overhead all day long, and any movement will be noticed by others. Let's wait until night!"
After hearing Zhao Gang's inquiry, Li Qiufan first glanced at the sky, and then said to him.
"Okay, then I'll go get ready!"
After hearing this, Zhao Gang nodded and said to Li Qiufan, and then walked out of the command post.
"Order all three heavy artillery brigades to open fire, and feed these idiots with artillery shells before leaving!"
After seeing Zhao Gang leaving, Li Qiufan immediately asked the correspondent to issue an order for all three heavy artillery brigades to open fire and shell the attacking enemy troops.
Time soon came to night, and the Volunteer Army's position was not captured throughout the day, and the frequency and intensity of the enemy's attacks were slowly weakening.
Because artillery cannot provide precise artillery support at night, and aircraft cannot help observe the situation of the volunteers at night.
"Order, the armored division crosses the river first. After the armored division crosses the river, each unit crosses the river according to the predetermined route. The movement must be concealed!"
"In addition, notify the tank regiment of Yeongdeungpo and tell them not to worry. They are keeping an eye on the enemy's mobile troops over there!"
After nightfall, Li Qiufan immediately issued the order to cross the river, and the troops of the armored division crossed the river first.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, the heavy artillery brigade air defense regiment and other units of the armored division began to retreat towards the river.
"Let the tank regiment and the enemy's mobile troops make some noise to cover the armored division's crossing of the river!"
Because the armored division's crossing route was on the Yeongdeungpo side, and they would go directly to Seoul after crossing the river, Li Qiufan was worried that the enemy troops outside Yeongdeungpo would notice something unusual, so he asked the tank regiment to make some noise with them.
After receiving the order, the commander of the tank regiment directly sent a tank company to provoke, and directly fought with the tank battalion of the 1st Marine Division.
At this time, the commander of the tank battalion of the 1st Marine Division was very confused and did not understand why the volunteers suddenly launched an attack at night.
Just as he was thinking about this, more than 20 tanks sprang out from the flank again, instantly interrupting his thoughts, and then contacted the Marine regiment behind to counterattack.
Under the cover of the tank regiment and the two regiments of the 38th Army, the units of the armored division successfully crossed the Han River and headed towards Seoul.
"The armored division has passed, order all units to start retreating!"
After receiving the news that the armored division had successfully crossed the river, Li Qiufan immediately issued an order for other units to begin withdrawing their positions and crossing the river.
The troops did not withdraw from their positions all at once, but small troops were left behind to deal with the enemy's attack and to cover the large troops' smooth crossing of the river.
On the enemy's side, because they were not good at fighting at night, and because their vision was restricted at night, many heavy weapons could not take advantage of them, so they did not launch a large-scale offensive. This also resulted in no abnormalities in the volunteer positions being discovered.
Under the cover of the remaining troops, the large force successfully crossed the Han River and built blocking positions on the north bank of the Han River.
"Correspondent, inform all remaining troops to withdraw from their positions immediately and cross the river!"
"In addition, notify the two regiments of the 38th Army in the Yeongdeungpo area and ask them to withdraw first!"
Li Qiufan's command headquarters also arrived on the north bank of the Han River at this time. After each unit established a defensive line, he immediately asked the correspondent to notify the remaining troops to retreat.
After receiving the order to retreat, all the remaining troops immediately withdrew from their positions and rushed towards the crossing point.
The enemy's attacks in various positions have not stopped, but suddenly the enemy's offensive troops found hope, and the volunteers on the position did not fight back.
Encountering this abnormal situation, the enemy did not continue to attack, but retreated directly. They were worried that this was a trap set by the volunteers.
The commander of the beautiful country also received news from the front line at this time, and this situation occurred in all directions of attack, which made him very puzzled.
After pondering for a moment, the commander of the beautiful country gave orders to the attacking troops to continue attacking the volunteers.
The commander of the beautiful country also wanted to see what tricks the volunteers were playing, so the attacking troops continued to attack the volunteer positions at the risk of being ambushed.
But when they reached dozens of meters away from the position, they were still not attacked, which made all the enemy soldiers start to wonder.
The enemy army became more and more cautious in the subsequent advancement, because the combat environment at night was really disturbing.
Finally, the first enemy soldier successfully stepped onto the Volunteer Army's position, but as far as he could see, not a single Volunteer Army soldier was found.
Then more and more enemy soldiers arrived at the position. Only then did they realize that there was no trap at all, but that the volunteers had withdrawn.
After receiving the news from the front line, the beautiful commander's face was distorted with anger, and then he issued the order to pursue.
At this time, the remaining troops had already reached the halfway point and were about to arrive at the crossing point.
The tank regiment on the other side also received the order to retreat, and then turned on the lights and swaggered towards the evacuation location.
Because the tank regiment is not afraid of being pursued by the other side. After all, the tank regiment has nearly two hundred tanks, which gives it a numerical advantage.
In addition, there is no infantry to slow it down, so even if the enemy wants to catch up, it cannot catch up, and the enemy's infantry cannot cause any damage to it at all.
