During this period, the Fourth Army did not take the initiative to launch an attack, but continued to strengthen its defensive positions.
Because Li Xiping had received news from Li Qiufan and learned that the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country, the Capital Division of the Southern Dynasty and the 3rd Division of the Southern Dynasty were heading towards Brothers Peak.
This means that the position of their Fourth Army will be under great pressure in the future, and the enemy cannot be allowed to break out from Brother Peak under any circumstances.
As time passed, it didn't take long for the leading troops of the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country to arrive at Brother's Peak and join the 5th Division of the Southern Dynasty, the 7th Division of the Southern Dynasty and the 8th Division of the Southern Dynasty.
After the rendezvous, the commander of the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country directly acted as the frontline commander, ordering the Southern Korean troops to charge towards the Fourth Army's positions, while the 7th Infantry Division provided artillery support.
They did not dare to waste time at all, because the First Army, the Fifteenth Army and the Armored Division were following behind them. When these troops arrived, they would be unable to escape.
Although the division commanders of several Southern Dynasty divisions were reluctant, the commander of the Southern Dynasty had no choice but to give them orders to obey the command of the commander of the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country.
As a result, the battle at Brother's Peak started again. The 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country used the remaining two howitzer battalions to suppress the Fourth Army with artillery fire, while the Southern Korean troops launched a charge towards the Fourth Army's position.
However, the Capital Division of the Southern Dynasty and the Third Division of the Southern Dynasty did not join the attack on the Fourth Army's positions. The task they received was to block the pursuing Volunteer Army troops.
The two Southern Dynasty divisions went to block the First Army, the Fifteenth Army and the Armored Division. The result can be imagined.
After Li Qiufan learned of this situation, he directly issued an order to the armored division, asking its three heavy artillery brigades to use full firepower to conduct continuous artillery bombardments against the Southern Capital Division and the Southern Third Division.
In addition, orders were given to the tank regiment, the First Army, and the Fifteenth Army. The tank regiment would cover the infantry charge and push directly towards Brother Peak.
The miserable Nanchao Capital Division and Nanchao 3rd Division didn't even last half an hour. They were directly penetrated by the First Army and the Fifteenth Army, and then fled towards Brother's Peak.
The commander of the 7th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country immediately started to curse after learning the news. He did not understand why the Nanchao Capital Division and the Nanchao 3rd Division were so vulnerable.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the First Corps called to inquire. Currently, the Capital Division of the South Korea and the Third Division of the South Korea are escaping towards Brothers Peak. The enemy forces on the eastern front are except for the Ninth Division of the South Korea, the Eleventh Division of the South Korea and the Marine Corps of the South Korea. We have gathered together at one place, will our department immediately launch an encirclement and suppression campaign?"
After the Southern Dynasty Capital Division and the Southern Dynasty Third Division fled, Li Qiufan received the report here, and the two tigers also asked whether to launch an immediate encirclement and suppression.
"Old brigadier, what do you think?"
After hearing the correspondent's report, Li Qiufan turned to look at the old brigade commander beside him and asked.
"In my opinion, we can take action. There is no need to rush them all together. At the worst, we can separate a regiment and go to Tiejia Ridge!"
After hearing Li Qiufan's inquiry, the old brigade commander thought for a moment and then spoke to him.
"I think so too. The beautiful country's troops landing from Haizhou are about to reach Chunchuan. We have to hurry up and resolve the battle here!"
"According to intelligence, the landing force of the beautiful country this time is six infantry divisions and one cavalry division. In addition, there is an airborne division on the front line of Huachuan and Yangkou. We must prepare early for such a large-scale enemy force! "
Li Qiufan nodded towards the old brigade commander in agreement, and then talked about the beautiful country's landing troops.
They had received intelligence and learned the specific information about the beautiful country's landing force. Li Qiufan was surprised by the scale of the effort.
Li Qiufan guessed that the troops landing from Haizhou from the beautiful country would not be too small this time, but he did not expect that there would be so many.
Six infantry divisions plus a cavalry division, and an airborne division, which has a strength of about 140,000.
And although they were hastily assembled to land on the peninsula, they still had all the weapons and equipment they should have, and they were all based on standard equipment.
Although Li Qiufan's troops far exceeded the enemy's, there was still a big gap in firepower. So Li Qiufan couldn't help but treat it with caution.
"That's right, end the battle here as soon as possible. The next battle with the beautiful country's troops is the highlight!"
Hearing Li Qiufan mention the situation of the beautiful country's Haizhou landing force, the old brigade commander's face became solemn, and then he nodded towards him and said.
"Correspondent, order the First Army to go around Changping, and then directly penetrate the Fourth Army's position on Brother Peak to assist the Fourth Army in intercepting the enemy."
"Inform the Fifteenth Army to build a position on the right wing of Brother's Peak and blockade the enemy troops in the Brother's Peak area!"
"Notify the remaining two armies of the Third Corps, the Thirteenth Corps and the Nineteenth Corps immediately move closer to Brother's Peak and launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against the enemy troops in the Brother's Peak area!"
"In addition, notify the Ninth Corps and ask them to change their route directly to Tiejia Ridge. The Second Army of the First Corps will cooperate with the Ninth Corps to annihilate the enemy troops in the Tiejia Ridge area!"
After getting the consent of the old brigade commander, Li Qiufan asked the correspondent to issue orders to each regiment and began to encircle and suppress the enemy troops on the eastern front.
As Li Qiufan's order was issued, all units began to take action.
The first was the First Army. After separating from the Fifteenth Army, it went directly to Changpingli, and then went around from Changpingli to the rear of the Fourth Army's position, and jointly intercepted the enemy troops with the Fourth Army.
Then came the Fifteenth Army, which began to build a defensive position on the right side of Brother's Peak to block the enemy troops on Brother's Peak.
The Armored Division built an artillery position behind the Fifteenth Army and began to suppress the enemy's artillery fire, helping the First Army and the Fourth Army to prevent the enemy from breaking through.
Finally, the two armies of the Third Army Corps, as well as the armies of the Thirteenth Army Corps and the Nineteenth Army Corps, directly formed a pocket shape and surrounded Brother Peak.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the Third Corps reports that it has arrived at the designated location!"
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the Thirteenth Corps has arrived at the designated location!"
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief, the 19th Corps has arrived at the designated location!"
As time passed, the three corps arrived at the designated positions and surrounded all enemy troops in the Brother Peak area.
"Pass my order and all troops will launch an attack immediately to encircle and suppress the enemy troops in the Brother Peak area!"
After the correspondent reported that all the regiments had arrived at the designated positions, Li Qiufan issued the general offensive order without hesitation and began to encircle and suppress the enemy troops in the Brother Peak area.
