"There are three divisions in the beautiful country, two of them are ace divisions, and there is a Nanchao division. You are such a badass that I even envy you!"
Seeing that the overall situation had been decided, the old brigade commander suddenly looked at Li Qiufan and said with a smile.
"If anything, it's all thanks to you, old brigade commander, for being so good at fishing on the Eastern Front."
"Without you luring the enemy to the bait on the Eastern Front, all subsequent operations would not be possible!"
After hearing what the old brigade commander said, Li Qiufan quickly waved his hand towards him and said.
Li Qiufan was telling the truth. If the old brigade commander hadn't been so impressive on the Eastern Front, his plan would have been killed in the cradle.
Although it only leads the enemy to attack and advance from the east, it is easier said than done.
Because the enemy soldiers are not fools, and they will definitely not be fooled if they show any clues.
"Ha ha ha ha…."
"I think the two of us should stop complimenting each other here. This is a big event for hundreds of thousands of people. Let's go to the front line!"
After hearing what Li Qiufan said, the old brigade commander burst out laughing, and then suggested going to the front line to have a look.
"That won't work! The enemy's howitzer has a short range. If something happens to you, the commander-in-chief will not kill me!"
Hearing that the old brigade commander wanted to visit the front line, Li Qiufan refused without thinking.
It wasn't that he was afraid of life and death, but that he was afraid of something unexpected happening to the old brigade commander.
"Bullshit! How can I be afraid of these stupid shells? The bullets and shells that can kill me haven't been made yet!"
Seeing that Li Qiufan refused to let him go to the front line, the old brigade commander glared at him and said.
"You, old man, just stay safe at the command post. Even if you ask the King of Heaven to come down to earth to intercede, I will slap him back twice!"
Li Qiufan did not look into the eyes of the old brigade commander at all. Instead, he pointed directly at the sky and said harsh words, saying that he would not let the old brigade commander go to the front line.
"I'm the king of heaven, who's the eldest! I talk better than he does, so get out of my way!"
The old brigade commander also lost his temper after hearing Li Qiufan's words, and insisted on going to the front line to see what he said.
"Correspondent! In the name of my first deputy commander and commander-in-chief of the Western Front, send a report to the Volunteer Army Headquarters, requesting the commander-in-chief to send someone over to invite the deputy commander-in-chief back!"
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him at all, Li Qiufan immediately moved the commander-in-chief out and prepared to send the old brigade commander to Zhisi.
"you……….!"
"Damn it, I'm not going!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, the old brigade commander pointed at him and looked like he was gritting his teeth, but after holding it in for a long time, he still compromised. After all, one thing is worth another.
On the other side, the enemy units rushed towards the Seoul area after breaking away from the battle, with the Third Corps and the Thirteenth Corps pursuing behind.
At this time, the enemy thought that the volunteers would stop after they retreated to Seoul, and the confrontation would remain the same as before.
But when he entered the Seoul area, he realized that something was wrong. The volunteer army was still pursuing them.
After seeing this scene, the enemy troops on the western front reported to the beautiful country commander again.
After receiving the order, the commander of the beautiful country didn't think much, and directly replied with two words: "Cross the river!"
After receiving the order from the commander of the beautiful country, the enemy troops on the western front abandoned Seoul without hesitation and ran towards the ferry.
But before they reached the ferry, they heard the sound of gunfire from the south bank of the Han River, and the fighting was very fierce.
This was the First Corps clearing out the enemy's river defense troops stationed on the south bank, and it was nearing its end.
The moment they heard the sound of gunfire, the enemy's top brass on the north bank felt that something was wrong, and then sent a mobile unit to rush to the ferry to check the situation.
By the time the mobile troops sent by the enemy on the north bank arrived at the ferry, the First Corps had ended the battle and taken over the enemy's position on the south bank.
When the news came back, the senior officials of the enemy troops on the north bank were dumbfounded. They never expected that a volunteer army would appear on the south bank and cut off their retreat.
Moreover, according to the report of the mobile unit that went to the ferry first, it was learned that the number of volunteer troops on the south bank was not small, about 80,000 to 90,000.
These 80,000 to 90,000 people directly occupied the positions on the south bank and established a very long blockade, blocking all their retreat routes.
At this time, the enemy forces on the western front were really panicked. If they were intercepted elsewhere, they could still fight.
But this is on the Han River. To cross the river to break out against an attack of 80,000 or 90,000 people is to risk death!
But it is not easy to fight back. The volunteers on the north bank have two corps, a total of six armies, and a strength of about 170,000 people.
Moreover, there are three heavy artillery brigades with about 200 heavy artillery pieces on the north bank, as well as hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles.
This time, the enemy forces on the Western Front are really like a pack of wolves in front of them and tigers in the back, and they are trapped in a certain death situation.
Even the commander of the beautiful country was stunned on the spot after receiving the news, and could not recover for a long time.
He couldn't figure out where these 80,000 or 90,000 volunteers came from, let alone how they got to the south bank of the Han River.
But Li Qiufan didn't give him time to think at all. After the first corps successfully established an interception defense line on the south bank of the Han River, Li Qiufan immediately ordered the two corps on the north bank to press forward.
"Correspondent, send a report to the Volunteer Army Headquarters, saying that our unit has successfully formed an encirclement. The enemy's beautiful National Cavalry Division, First Marine Division, Third Infantry Division, and Southern Dynasty Sixth Division have become turtles in the urn!"
"In addition, we request the Volunteer Army Command to immediately send air forces to the western front to provide support. The enemy may go crazy!"
"The other thing is to request the Volunteer Army Headquarters to notify the troops on the Eastern Front to launch a counterattack against the enemy troops on the Eastern Front to contain them so that they cannot support the Western Front!"
After each unit launched a full-scale attack, Li Qiufan asked his correspondent to send a telegram to the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
The first thing is to report the current situation. The Western Front has successfully surrounded all enemy troops.
The other is to request the Volunteer Army Command to send air force units to the Western Front to support them, because the enemy may go crazy next. After all, the entire enemy force on the Western Front is surrounded, and there are two beautiful country's ace divisions inside.
Finally, on the eastern front, let the Ninth Corps and the Nineteenth Corps launch counterattacks to block reinforcements against the enemy troops on the eastern front, helping the three armies on the western front to buy time.
This battle can be said to be particularly important, because after the battle, the entire Western Front will no longer be threatened, and all enemy forces on the Eastern Front will be pushed back, and it will directly affect the results of the subsequent negotiation table.
