The subsequent meeting was to discuss the issue of defense lines after the retreat, and it was finally decided to deploy two lines of defense south of the 38th parallel on the north bank of the Han River.
The first line of defense is defended by five armies, namely Li Qiufan's First Army, Fourth Army, Thirty-eighth Army, Forty-second Army, Sixty-sixth Army, and the Second and Third Army of the Northern Dynasties People's Army. , Fifth Corps.
The entire first line of defense starts from the mouth of the Han River in the west, passes south of Seoul and is fortified along the river. After passing Yangping, the bifurcation of the east-west front, it sticks to the northeast side of Dipingli and penetrates diagonally to Hengcheng in the southeast direction, all the way to Jiangling on the east coast.
The task of the first line of defense is to find a way to block the enemy for a month in a zone no more than thirty kilometers deep.
The troops on the second line of defense are the 26th Army, the 39th Army, the 40th Army, the 50th Army, and a division of the Northern Dynasty Army.
The entire second line of defense started from Munsan in the west, and then went east along the Hongcheon River through the U.S. Government to build river defense, all the way to Fengyam-ri in the east.
After deciding on the defense line deployment, everyone left the Volunteer Army Headquarters and returned to the army. Li Qiufan did not stay long and returned to the headquarters in Seoul.
"Correspondent, ask the mountain division to assemble immediately and rush to Seoul, notify the Fourth Army to take over its defense line, and ask the division commander Li Yunlong to come and see me."
After returning to the headquarters, Li Qiufan immediately asked the correspondent to issue an order to transfer the mountain division to Seoul, preparing to tell Li Yunlong about his return to China.
"Transfer the Mountain Division to Seoul? What's going on?"
After hearing Li Qiufan's order, Zhao Gang asked him doubtfully.
Since Li Qiufan went to the Volunteer Army Headquarters on his own this time, Zhao Gang did not know that the Mountain Division was returning to China.
"After I went to the Volunteer Army Headquarters, the Commander-in-Chief discussed with me. Since the casualties of the Mountain Division were too serious, we thought of sending the Mountain Division back to China."
"The other thing is that a new military academy has been established in China. Li Yunlong's name is on the list of students. I am going to let him go back to study."
After hearing Zhao Gang's inquiry, Li Qiufan immediately told him about the mountain master's return to China and Li Yunlong's study.
"That's what happened, but if Li Yunlong goes to school, will he agree?"
Zhao Gang nodded after hearing Li Qiufan's explanation, then frowned and asked him.
"This old boy will definitely not agree, but I have a way to get him to go back."
Li Qiufan smiled at Zhao Gang, and then said to him with great confidence.
"What can I do? Tell me quickly!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, Zhao Gang was very curious and quickly asked him.
"You will know when Li Yunlong arrives!"
However, Li Qiufan did not explain to him and got into trouble with Zhao Gang.
On Li Yunlong's side, after receiving Li Qiufan's order, he was very puzzled as to why the mountain division should be transferred to Seoul.
But no matter how hard he thought about it, Li Yunlong had no choice but to lead his troops towards Seoul.
After arriving in Seoul, Li Yunlong arranged his troops and rushed to the command post.
"Commander, what's going on? Why were you transferred to Seoul? Is there some special operation?"
As soon as he entered the gate of the headquarters, Li Yunlong asked Li Qiufan impatiently.
"Lao Li is here, sit down first!"
Li Qiufan raised his head when he heard Li Yunlong's voice, and then smiled and asked him to sit down.
"Commander, just say it directly, our mountain division promises to complete the mission!"
Seeing Li Qiufan's expression, Li Yunlong thought he had guessed it right, and immediately assured Li Qiufan.
"Are you sure you will complete the mission?"
After hearing Li Yunlong's words, Li Qiufan asked him with slightly raised corners of his mouth.
"Promise! Commander, please tell me quickly. It will make our old Li feel like a cat is scratching his head!"
Li Yunlong nodded heavily towards Li Qiufan, and then urged anxiously again.
"Then I'll tell you, the Volunteer Army Headquarters has ordered that the mountain divisions be transferred back to China!"
Seeing that the heat was almost over, Li Qiufan immediately told him about returning to China.
"Don't worry, Commander, our mountain division has finished guaranteeing...what?"
Li Yunlong only thought it was some special mission. As soon as Li Qiufan finished speaking, he made another promise, but before he finished speaking, he came to his senses.
"Going back to China? Don't you have a mission?"
Li Yunlong thought Li Qiufan had made a mistake and quickly confirmed it.
"Yes, there is a mission. Your mission is to bring the mountain division back to China!"
Li Qiufan smiled and nodded towards Li Yunlong.
"I'm not the commander. Don't make fun of me, Old Li. Why did you go back to China after you were so good!"
Li Yunlong frowned after hearing Li Qiufan's confirmation, and then quickly asked him the reason.
"You also know the casualties of the Mountain Division since it entered the peninsula area. It is estimated that if the battle continues, all the formations will be destroyed."
"I went to the Volunteer Army Headquarters for a meeting a few days ago. The commander-in-chief happened to talk about the casualties of our troops, and then decided to send the mountain division back to China to rest."
After Li Qiufan heard Li Yunlong's inquiry, he immediately explained the cause and effect.
"That's what happened. Then where will our Lao Li go when the Mountain Division returns to China? Commander, why don't you apply to transfer our Lao Li's Third Army over?"
After listening to Li Qiufan's story, Li Yunlong nodded, then asked him where he was going, and even thought about transferring the Third Army to fight in the peninsula.
"You? You're going back to China too!"
When Li Yunlong asked about his whereabouts, Li Qiufan immediately said to him.
"What the hell? We, Lao Li, are going back too? This battle isn't even over yet!"
Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he said to Li Qiufan in disbelief.
"Whether the war is over or not has nothing to do with whether you can go back or not. Could it be that without you, Li Yunlong, we wouldn't be able to fight the war?"
After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Li Qiufan decided to take this opportunity to give him a good beating to polish off his donkey temper.
"No, that's not what we, Lao Li, mean. What I mean is that I have to stay and fight. I came all the way out, so I can finish the fight and then go back!"
After hearing the change in Li Qiufan's tone, Li Yunlong quickly explained to him.
"Hmph! How long this battle will last and who will fight it is not something you and I can decide. Could it be that you still want to disobey the orders of the Volunteer Army Headquarters!"
Li Qiufan snorted immediately after hearing Li Yunlong's explanation, and then said to him in a cold tone.
"I definitely don't dare to disobey orders. Commander, can you beg for mercy for me, Commander, about returning home? We can wait until the war is over before we go back."
When Li Qiufan asked him if he wanted to disobey the order, Li Yunlong quickly waved his hands and said to him.
You must know that Li Qiufan had just dealt with the commander of the Second Division not long ago. Not only was he dismissed from his post, but he also issued a report to the whole army. Li Yunlong did not dare to take the lead in this matter.
