After the tank regiment diverted the enemy's mobile troops away, the retreat of the large force of the First Corps became much smoother.
After rendezvousing with the air defense regiment in the Namjihyeon area, they began to head towards the Mukap Mountain.
However, the mountain roads inside Wujia Mountain were so rugged that the anti-aircraft armored vehicles of the anti-aircraft regiment could not pass through at all, so Li Qiufan asked them to go around Duandaili on the south side, then return to Delhi and insert into Guangzhou to rendezvous with the main force.
Although the enemy was still chasing behind them at this time, Li Qiufan did not panic at all, because when they entered Wujia Mountain, the sea was vast and the fish jumped into the sky and the birds flew away.
Even the air defense regiment cannot walk on the mountain road of Wujia Mountain, let alone the enemy troops equipped with a large number of heavy weapons.
If they want to continue the pursuit, they will have to abandon their tanks and armored vehicles and all their howitzers.
And with the help of the dense forest in Wujia Mountain, Li Qiufan can also avoid the detection of enemy aircraft.
By the time the enemy found their traces again, they had already entered the Jing'anli area.
But just after the First Corps entered Wujia Mountain, the old brigade commander panicked.
After the old brigade commander led four regiments across the river to the north bank, he went to Jishanli for supplies.
Before this, there was always a response from Li Qiufan, but after entering Wujia Mountain, there was no signal from Li Qiufan, and the old brigade commander could not get a response no matter how he contacted him.
Two days passed and the old brigade commander couldn't sit still without any response. He immediately issued an order to the four corps that had completed supplies and marched quickly to the line between Seoul and Jingu-ri.
The old brigade commander had already made the worst plan in his heart, that is, Li Qiufan had died.
But he still didn't want to believe that Li Qiufan died like this, so he led his troops to the bank of the Han River.
The old brigade commander thought that if Li Qiufan had not sacrificed, he would definitely have crossed the river from Seoul to Jingouli, and then he would be able to support them.
If Li Qiufan really died, the old brigade commander was going to lead four regiments back to the south bank and bury all six enemy infantry divisions and one cavalry division in the peninsula to avenge Li Qiufan and the soldiers of the first regiment. .
On Li Qiufan's side, after two days of groping and marching in Wujia Mountain, he finally walked out of Wujia Mountain and arrived in the Jing'anli area.
At this time, Li Qiufan had no time to understand the situation and immediately ordered the troops to march towards Guangzhou.
Because they don't dare to waste time now, walking out of Wujia Mountain means that their traces are about to be exposed.
Now, the more you can run out, the more likely you are to survive. The later you are discovered, the greater your chance of survival.
On the enemy's side, after Li Qiufan's regiment entered Wujia Mountain, they encountered difficulties because all mobile troops and heavy weapons could not be brought in.
They don't think they can defeat the volunteers without the advantages of weapons and equipment.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the commander of the beautiful country issued an order for the 37th Infantry Division, the 40th Infantry Division, and the 41st Infantry Division to go to Shangfanchuanli on the northwest side of Wujia Mountain to stand by.
Then an order was given to the 42nd Infantry Division of the beautiful country to go to Huideli on the north side of Gyeongan-ri to garrison on standby.
In addition, the 44th Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country went to Guozhu Peak on the west side of Gyeong'an-ri to garrison on standby, and the 2nd Cavalry Division went to Wenheng Mountain on the south side of Gyeong'an-ri to garrison on standby.
This move by the beautiful country commander can be said to have directly surrounded Wujia Mountain, and even blocked the road going south.
Moreover, the commander of the beautiful country felt that the volunteer troops entering Mukap Mountain were likely to penetrate directly from Shangfanchuan to the bank of the Han River, so he directly deployed three infantry divisions in Shangfanchuan.
In fact, according to common sense, the conjecture of the commander of the beautiful country is correct, because the shortest way is from Shangfanchuanri to the bank of the Han River.
But Li Qiufan had already considered this, and the enemy troops he could think of would also think of it, so this nearest road was not the best evacuation route.
But although Li Qiufan chose the route from Jing'anli area to Guangzhou, what he didn't expect was that the beautiful commander would actually deploy an infantry division in the Delhi area.
The 42nd Infantry Division of the beautiful country was stationed in the area back to Delhi and directly became a road blocker on the evacuation route of the First Corps.
But fortunately, the air defense regiment was one step ahead of them and arrived in the Delhi area ahead of schedule, colliding with the 42nd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country.
"Report to the commander-in-chief. The air defense regiment called to report that they encountered enemy troops in the area back to Delhi. The enemy troops probably have the strength of an infantry division!"
After the air defense regiment encountered the 42nd Infantry Division of the beautiful country, they immediately reported to Li Qiufan.
"What? There is an enemy infantry division back in the Delhi area?"
After hearing the correspondent's report, Li Qiufan immediately opened his eyes and asked him.
He didn't expect that the enemy would be so thoughtful and even deploy troops on the route back to Delhi.
"Reply to the air defense regiment immediately and ask them not to entangle with the enemy and evacuate directly towards the Guozhu Peak!"
"Inform the First Army to change its route to Guozhu Peak. Instead of leaving the Guangzhou area, go directly to Yeongdeungpo!"
After thinking for a while, Li Qiufan immediately gave up his original retreat plan and prepared to walk around the main peak of the country to Yeongdeungpo and cross the river from Seoul Ferry.
But what he didn't expect was that there was a beautiful 44th Infantry Division in the Guozhu Peak area.
After receiving Li Qiufan's order, the air defense regiment immediately broke away from the battle with the 42nd Infantry Division of the Beautiful Country and rushed towards the main peak of the country as quickly as possible.
The First Army also changed its marching route and marched rapidly towards the main peak of the country, followed by the Second Army and the Fourth Army.
At this time, the commander of the beautiful country also got the news that the 42nd Infantry Division intercepted the Volunteer Army's air defense force on its way back to Delhi.
However, because no volunteer troops entering Wujia Mountain have been found yet, the commander of the beautiful country did not let the 42nd Infantry Division set off to pursue them.
Because if 70,000 to 80,000 volunteers were let go for this air defense force, it would be unworthy.
But not long after, the beautiful country commander received news from the naval headquarters.
Their reconnaissance plane found traces of a large volunteer army 24 kilometers east of Guozhu Peak, estimated to have about 70,000 to 80,000 troops.
The commander of the beautiful country immediately reacted when he heard this. This was the volunteer army that entered Wujia Mountain.
Then the commander of the beautiful country immediately issued an order to the 44th Infantry Division, informing him of the news that the volunteer army was heading to the Guozhu Peak area, and asked the 44th Infantry Division to prepare for interception.
