At this time, the Fourth Army was fighting and retreating, but it could not get rid of the enemy no matter what.

Li Xiping glanced in the direction of the enemy. He knew that his Fourth Army would not be able to escape.

Then he wanted the correspondent to contact Li Qiufan and tell him that the Fourth Army would stay behind and cover the evacuation of the First Army and the Second Army.

"Report to the commander, the commander-in-chief ordered our army to immediately retreat to the high slope two kilometers northwest, where the First Army and the Second Army are building defensive positions!"

Before Li Xiping asked the correspondent to contact Li Qiufan, Li Qiufan's order came over.

At this time, the First Army and the Second Army were building defensive positions and preparing to meet the Fourth Army.

After hearing the correspondent's report, Li Xiping's eyes instantly turned red.

"Notify the troops immediately and retreat to the northwest with alternate cover!"

After calming down a little, Li Xiping asked the correspondent to give orders to the troops to move closer to the positions of the First Army and the Second Army.

The position Li Qiufan chose was on a small high slope, which gave him a bit of a geographical advantage.

At this time, the First Army and the Second Army were digging trenches and foxholes, and Li Qiufan was commanding the air defense regiment for pre-war deployment.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, we have contacted the Deputy Commander-in-Chief. They are currently in the Seoul area and are preparing to receive us on the north bank of the Han River!"

Li Qiufan was busy directing the troops to set up fire points when suddenly a correspondent came to him to report.

"Contacted?!"

Hearing the correspondent say that he had made contact with the deputy commander-in-chief, Li Qiufan was extremely surprised and confirmed to him.

Since leaving Wujia Mountain, Li Qiufan has been being chased and intercepted by enemy troops, either fighting or breaking through.

Enemy planes had bombed them before and destroyed Li Qiufan's radio station.

Because the troops on Li Qiufan's side were close to each other, they all used walkie-talkies to communicate. Until he decided to stay and support the Fourth Army, Li Qiufan wanted to send a telegram to the old brigade commander, but then he discovered that the radio station was not working.

Then Li Qiufan transferred a radio station from the First Army and asked the telegraph operator to contact the old brigade commander.

After receiving the telegram from Li Qiufan, the old brigade commander was so happy that he finally let go of his hanging heart.

The old brigade commander never dared to tell the commander-in-chief that Li Qiufan had lost contact, for fear that the commander-in-chief would not be able to bear it.

Whenever the commander-in-chief inquired about the situation, the old brigade commander always responded in the name of Li Qiufan.

Because the commander-in-chief knew how much Li Qiufan valued the old brigade commander, it was no exaggeration to say that the old brigade commander felt that the commander-in-chief treated Li Qiufan as his own son.

Now that he had contacted Li Qiufan and learned that Li Qiufan had not died, the old brigade commander finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then the old brigade commander asked the correspondent to reply, informing him of the location here, and at the same time asking where the first corps was currently and what the situation was.

Li Qiufan was also very excited after learning that the other four corps were currently in the Seoul area, because Seoul was not very far from them.

"Reply immediately to the deputy commander-in-chief and report the current location and situation of our army!"

"Also, let's ask if it's possible to send reinforcements to our army, even if it's just to transfer armored divisions!"

After receiving confirmation from the correspondent, Li Qiufan immediately asked him to report the situation to the old brigade commander.

Also asked if reinforcements could be sent to them, even if only one armored division came over.

As long as there are three heavy artillery brigades belonging to the armored division, Li Qiufan will have the confidence to give the enemy a try.

They currently do not have a big disadvantage in terms of military strength. The main reason is that there is a large gap between them and the enemy in terms of heavy weapons, especially heavy artillery.

Relying on the large-caliber howitzers, the enemy can bombard them unscrupulously.

The mortars in their hands could not reach the opponent's artillery positions at all, so they could only be beaten passively.

If our three heavy artillery brigades can come over, it will be impossible for the enemy to bombard them without any scruples, because they can completely push back the enemy's artillery positions and then attack them.

After hearing Li Qiufan's words, the correspondent immediately asked the telegraph operator to send a telegram to the old brigade commander.

After receiving the telegram, the old brigade commander directly rolled out the map and checked it to confirm the distance between the location of the first corps and them.

After confirming the location of the first corps and the distance between the two armies, the old brigade commander immediately issued an order to gather all the cars, tanks and anti-aircraft armored vehicles of the four corps.

Then all of them were assigned to the 38th Army and the 42nd Army. The 38th Army, the 42nd Army and the Armored Division set off first to go to the Gwacheon area to support the 1st Corps.

At the same time, the Third Corps and the Ninth Corps were also urgently gathering to cross the river as the second batch of reinforcements.

The remaining two armies of the 19th Corps and the 13th Corps went from Seoul to Jingouli to cross the river, and then detoured to the enemy's rear via the Guangzhou area to encircle them.

While reinforcing the First Corps, the old brigade commander also planned to have a decisive battle and eliminate all the beautiful American troops in one go.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the Deputy Commander-in-Chief called, a rapid reinforcement force composed of the 38th Army, the 42nd Army, and the Armored Division has set off to reinforce your department!"

"The Third Corps and the Ninth Corps, as the second batch of reinforcements, are urgently gathering to prepare to cross the river!"

"The remaining two armies of the 19th Corps and the 13th Corps are marching from Seoul to the Jingouli area. They plan to cross the river and then go back to the enemy's rear via Guangzhou to encircle and annihilate the enemy troops!"

After making all arrangements, the old brigade commander sent a telegram to Li Qiufan.

"Hahaha………!"

"The old brigade commander is really generous! He actually wanted to eat six infantry divisions and one cavalry division of the beautiful country in one go. It's so damn enjoyable!"

"Correspondent, immediately notify all armies of the news that reinforcements are coming, and ask all troops to hold their positions until the reinforcements arrive!"

After listening to the correspondent's report, Li Qiufan swept away the previous haze and burst into laughter.

Because when the 38th Army, the 42nd Army and the Armored Division arrive, they no longer need to continue to be beaten, and they can even fight back!

At the same time, Li Qiufan marveled at the old brigade commander's generosity. He actually wanted to take this opportunity to eat up all the beautiful country's troops. This courage was really extraordinary.

If there are no mistakes in the old brigade commander's plan this time, the war in the peninsula will basically be over.

Then, as the news that reinforcements were arriving was conveyed to all armies, all the soldiers of the First Corps were very high-spirited and waited for the arrival of the enemy troops.
