After the First Corps successfully crossed the river to the south bank, they followed the order issued by Li Qiufan and sent a team of scouts along the river bank to scout the enemy's river defense troops.
The large force circled around Gyeongan-ri, and then diverted from Gyeongan-ri and went straight to Yeongdeungpo.
After entering the Yeongdeungpo area, the first regiment no longer marched covertly, and headed directly towards the river bank in a swaggering manner.
It doesn't matter if they are discovered by the enemy at this time, because the enemy on the north bank will not have time to cross the river and will be stuck at the ferry by the first regiment.
"Old brigade commander, the First Corps has entered the Yeongdeungpo area, it's our turn to take action!"
After receiving the news that the First Corps had arrived in the Yeongdeungpo area, Li Qiufan immediately said to the old brigade commander.
"Qiu Fan, your first regiment has made great achievements!"
"Since the enemy's retreat has been blocked, let's take action as soon as possible to avoid a long night of nightmares!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, the old brigade commander nodded towards him excitedly, and then agreed to launch a general attack on the enemy forces on the western front.
"Old brigade commander, although you didn't see my troops when you came to the Western Front, you can see my firepower today!"
"I would like to let you know that as your soldier, I, Li Qiufan, have not embarrassed you!"
After getting the old brigade commander's agreement, Li Qiufan suddenly sighed with emotion. He hadn't fought side by side with the old brigade commander for a long time.
"Hahaha, you are quite confident, so I will see how promising the soldiers I have brought out today are!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, the old brigade commander was stunned for a moment, and then laughed happily. After laughing, he patted Li Qiufan on the shoulder and said to him.
"Correspondent! Order the three heavy artillery brigades of the armored division to open fire on me! Cover the enemy's positions with full firepower!"
"Order all tank regiments to dispatch and cover the infantry charge in front!"
"Order the armies of the 13th Corps and the 3rd Corps to press directly towards the enemy's positions. This time we will all be the main attack. Whoever advances quickly will be the winner!"
After hearing the words of the old brigade commander, Li Qiufan did not hesitate anymore and directly gave the order to fire.
The first is the three heavy artillery brigades belonging to the armored division. As the saying goes, the artillery goes first if the enemy's situation is unknown. No matter what the enemy's formation is, just cover it with firepower first.
After the firepower suppressed the enemy, the tank regiment took the lead in attacking. More than a hundred tanks directly formed a line of defense to help the infantry following behind block the enemy's counterattack.
Finally, there were the six armies to which the two corps belonged. After receiving Li Qiufan's order, everyone was excited. The commanders of each army immediately ordered the troops to follow the tank regiment and launch a charge.
"Good boy! How many cannons and shells do you have, how many cannons and shells do you have? Can you actually create this scene?"
After the three heavy artillery brigades opened fire, the old brigade commander stared at what was happening on the enemy's position with his binoculars and his eyes widened. Then he turned to look at Li Qiufan and asked.
"Haha, not too much, not too much, just about two hundred heavy artillery pieces with a caliber of more than 105 mm."
Seeing the shocked expression of the old brigade commander, Li Qiufan immediately pretended to be there and said to the old brigade commander in a low tone.
"Is it because I can't hold the gun? How dare you act like a bitch with me!"
Seeing Li Qiufan's look of needing a beating, the old brigade commander suddenly narrowed his eyes, and then said to him in a sinister tone.
"Uh, no, no, what are you talking about, old brigade commander! How dare I act mean to you!"
Feeling the dangerous gaze of the old brigade commander, Li Qiufan's face immediately froze, and then he explained awkwardly.
"snort!"
"But you kid really impressed me. You actually have so many good things in your hands!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan recognized his cowardice, the old brigade commander first snorted angrily, and then started to praise him.
"Old brigade commander, I didn't embarrass our 386th Brigade, did I?"
After hearing the old brigade commander's praise, Li Qiufan returned to his previous appearance, and then asked him.
"boom!"
"It's not shameful! And it makes me look good! You did a great job!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's inquiry, the old brigade commander first raised his leg and gave him a kick, and then said with relief on his face.
"No, old brigade commander, what are you doing? Why are you kicking me when I make you look bad?"
Li Qiufan was kicked by the old brigade commander and was a little confused. It took him a long time to remember and ask why.
"Praising you is recognition of your hard work and my affirmation of you!"
"As for kicking you, it's to stop you from being complacent and keep on doing it down-to-earth!"
Seeing Li Qiufan's confused look, the old brigade commander immediately started to explain to him with his hands behind his back.
"What a fool! If you want to kick me, just say so, and you are making so many excuses!"
After hearing what the old brigade commander said, Li Qiufan turned his head and rolled his eyes, and then he became confused in his heart.
The movements of the old brigade commander and Li Qiufan were very synchronized. They also turned their heads and rolled their eyes, thinking that this bitch is really good at playing the game, so he kicked a little too lightly!
And while the two were fighting wits and courage, the enemy was already stunned.
They never expected that the volunteers would suddenly take action without any warning, and they would be covered by firepower, and then the mobile troops and infantry would attack seamlessly.
The enemy troops who were caught off guard could only be forced to counterattack, and at the same time reported to the beautiful country commander.
The commander of the beautiful country was also very confused after receiving the news and did not understand the reason why the volunteers on the Western Front took action.
But the situation at this time did not allow him to think too much, and then he immediately issued a retreat order to all the troops on the Western Front, asking them to retreat to Seoul to establish a defense line.
The commander of the beautiful country on the Western Front was not prepared to fight. His purpose was just to hold back the Volunteer Army here and allow the Eastern Front to advance without any scruples, so he directly issued a retreat order.
Therefore, after receiving the order, troops such as the 1st National Cavalry Division immediately began to break away from the battle and began to retreat towards Seoul with alternate cover.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the forward position reported that the enemy has no intention of fighting and is now withdrawing from the battle and retreating to the rear!"
As soon as the enemy took action, Li Qiufan received the news.
"Order all armies to pursue them, and let them pursue them wherever the enemy retreats!"
After hearing the correspondent's report, Li Qiufan first looked at each other and smiled at the old brigade commander, and then issued the order to pursue the troops.
At this time, what Li Qiufan was afraid of was that the enemy troops would not run away, but would stay and fight them to the death.
On the contrary, as long as the enemy starts to run away, they will definitely lose this round.
Because the First Corps was already waiting for them on the south bank of the Han River. When they retreated to the river bank, they would be in a dead end!
