After some discussions, the senior officials of the United States decided to temporarily abandon the method of sending troops to the peninsula, and then urged the diplomatic department to continue to contact the volunteers.
At the same time, the meeting at the Military Commission also came to a conclusion, which was to ignore the United States for the time being and fight first.
Kill half and keep the other half. First make the negotiation stool strong, and then sit on it to argue with the other party.
Soon the order came to Li Qiufan. After seeing the Military Commission order conveyed by the Volunteer Army Headquarters, Li Qiufan immediately informed the old brigade commander.
"Haha, you really guessed it right, then go ahead and do it!"
After seeing the telegram sent by the Volunteer Army Headquarters, the old brigade commander smiled and praised Li Qiufan.
"At this point in the fight, both the enemy and us have invested too much. Although on the surface it seems that we have the upper hand, only we know the internal difficulties."
Li Qiufan nodded towards the old brigade commander, then looked at the telegram and sighed.
Since the outbreak of the Peninsula War when the Volunteer Army joined the war, the United States and its allies have implemented blockade and blockade measures on the Peninsula, which has forced the Volunteer Army to rely on local resources and capabilities.
The blockade and blockade prevented the Volunteer Army from directly obtaining urgently needed supplies from external channels, forcing the country to rely on its own production capacity and industrial base to meet the needs of the war.
But at this time, the civil war had just ended, and the economy and industry had not yet had time to develop. The production capacity was very low and could not meet the needs of the troops at all.
In addition, the beautiful country continues to send planes to bomb supply lines, making it even more difficult for the volunteers who are short of material resources.
So in Li Qiufan's view, it's shiny on the outside but shabby on the inside.
But before, the volunteers kept shouting and the beautiful country didn't want to stop, so they had no choice but to keep fighting.
"Yes, it's too difficult for us here. The soldiers don't have enough food and clothing. The war has just ended in the country, and the economy, industry, etc. have not yet recovered..."
After hearing Li Qiufan's words, the old brigade commander was also very emotional and gradually became trance looking at the direction of the front line.
"Correspondent, order the Twelfth Army and the Thirty-eighth Army to launch a fierce attack on the enemy's First Cavalry Division position from the front!"
"Order the 15th Army to launch an attack on the flank positions of the 1st Cavalry Division, and cooperate with the two corps on the front to take down the first-line defensive positions of the 1st Cavalry Division!"
"Inform the Second Army on the south bank and ask Lu Ming to send a division to cross the river from the left flank and then go back to the rear of the 1st Cavalry Division for a surprise attack!"
"Since it's half beaten and half left, let's break off its hardest teeth!"
After sighing with emotion, Li Qiufan immediately issued an order to the frontline troops to eliminate some enemy troops in accordance with the instructions of the Military Commission.
After receiving the order, the 12th Army and the 38th Army immediately concentrated their forces and launched a fierce attack on the positions of the 1st Cavalry Division.
At the same time, the 15th Army, which was responsible for blocking the flanks, also moved and launched an attack on the flank positions of the 1st Cavalry Division.
In addition, Li Qiufan also issued orders to the Second Heavy Artillery Brigade and the Third Heavy Artillery Brigade, focusing on shelling the positions of the First Cavalry Division.
In addition to the troops on the north bank, the fifth division of the Second Army on the south bank was moved out of their positions and moved to the left flank to cross the river in a concealed manner, preparing to launch a surprise attack on the rear defense line of the First Cavalry Division.
Li Qiufan made up his mind to eliminate the 1st National Cavalry Division, and directly arranged three armies, plus a division of the Second Army, and two heavy artillery brigades to target it.
The 1st Cavalry Division could not withstand it at all. It was beaten back by the three armies on the north bank, and the first line of defensive positions was penetrated in a short time.
After seizing the first-line defensive position of the First Cavalry Division, the three armies continued to advance without hesitation and moved towards the second-line defensive position of the First Cavalry Division.
While the three armies continued to advance, the Fifth Division also successfully crossed the river to the north bank, and then detoured toward the rear of the First Cavalry Division.
Faced with such a fierce attack by the volunteers, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division immediately contacted the 1st Marine Division and asked it to enter the 1st Cavalry Division position for reinforcements.
The commander of the 1st Marine Division did not hesitate at all after receiving the news. He immediately contacted the 3rd Infantry Division to take over their position, and then rushed towards the position of the 1st Cavalry Division.
"Reporting to the commander, the 40th Army reported that the position of the 1st Marine Division was taken over by the 3rd Infantry Division. The 1st Marine Division is now heading towards the position of the 1st Cavalry Division."
After the 1st Marine Division and the 3rd Infantry Division switched defenses, Li Qiufan received a report from the 40th Army.
"Haha, it's hard to persuade the damn devil. If we insist on joining together, then I'll kill them all!"
"Tell the Twelfth Army, the Thirty-eighth Army, and the Fifteenth Army to destroy all the enemies on the 1st Cavalry Division's position!"
After hearing the correspondent's report, Li Qiufan first made a cold call, and then issued orders to the three armies attacking the 1st Cavalry Division's position.
Originally, Li Qiufan thought of only wiping out the First Cavalry Division, and then looking for replacements from other enemy units, so he reported to the Volunteer Army Headquarters.
Unexpectedly, the First Marine Division was rushing to die, so Li Qiufan was not polite and planned to bury all the two ace divisions of the beautiful country here.
On the First Cavalry Division's side, although there were reinforcements from the First Marine Division, nothing changed.
The attacks of the three armies were very fierce, and the soldiers of the 1st Cavalry Division and the 1st Marine Division were retreating steadily.
Moreover, the Fifth Division also took a circuitous route at this time and directly launched an attack on the rear line of the First Cavalry Division, which made the already difficult situation of the First Cavalry Division even worse.
Just as the fight between the two sides was getting heated, the enemy's air support arrived, and dense black dots appeared in the distant sky.
"Grandma, the annoying flies are here again, and there are so many of them this time!"
Li Qiufan also saw this scene through the telescope, and then Dangzhi started to curse loudly, which made the old brigade commander next to him also use the telescope to look at it.
"Damn it, why are there so many planes? There must be hundreds of them!"
The old brigade commander was also shocked when he saw the number of enemy aircraft, and then said through gritted teeth.
The number of aircraft sent by the enemy this time was very large. The commander of the beautiful country was probably anxious. Li Qiufan made a simple estimate and found that there were about 120 aircraft.
Normally, the enemy would not send so many planes at one time. Normally, there would only be about thirty or forty planes.
Even when Dongduchuan surrounded the 1st Marine Division and the 24th Infantry Division, there were only fifty or sixty in one batch.
But this time the enemy army was really going crazy. The first batch of support came out with about 120 aircraft, which made Li Qiufan feel a little nervous.
"Correspondent, send a report to the Volunteer Army Headquarters and ask if our plane has taken off!"
After seeing the enemy's aircraft, Li Qiufan thought of his own air force, and then asked the correspondent to send a telegram to the Volunteer Army Headquarters to inquire.
