Just when Li Qiufan was happy, the Fourth Army had already withdrawn and was taken into position by the Second Army.
As the Fourth Army entered the position, the 40th Infantry Division and the 41st Infantry Division of the United States also pursued them, but did not launch an attack.
Li Qiufan probably guessed a little about the enemy's thoughts, and he should wait for other reinforcements to arrive before taking action to ensure nothing went wrong.
"Correspondent, inform the Second Army to hand over to the Fourth Army. The right wing position will be handed over to the Fourth Army to defend, and all the Second Army should move to the left wing!"
After the Fourth Army entered the position, Li Qiufan asked the Second Army's troops on the right wing to hand over with it. The Fourth Army was stationed on the right wing, while the Second Army was deployed to the left wing.
While Li Qiufan was busy making preparations for the war, reinforcements from the Beautiful Country arrived one after another.
So far, the beautiful country has a total of six infantry divisions, one cavalry division and one airborne division in the peninsula.
In addition to the 44th Infantry Division of the beautiful country, which was resting in the Guozhu Peak area, and the 13th Airborne Division, which was still on the way, the remaining five infantry divisions and one cavalry division were present.
This battle is not like the previous battle in Zhuyi Mountain. Due to terrain restrictions, the enemy's troops cannot fully deploy.
This time the battlefield is on a plain, where the enemy can take advantage of it.
Although Li Qiufan's position is on a small high slope, there is not much advantage to the enemy with a large number of heavy firepower weapons and mobile troops.
The enemy's purpose this time is very obvious. The commander of the beautiful country has issued a kill order and must destroy a regiment no matter what.
And Li Qiufan can no longer retreat. First of all, given the current situation, they cannot withdraw at all.
The second is the old brigade commander's plan. The first regiment needs to be stationed here to attract the enemy, wait for reinforcements to arrive, and cooperate with the roundabout troops to implement the encirclement.
Therefore, the enemy and we are destined to engage in a bloody battle, but the enemy does not know what they are about to face.
The battle started with the enemy. More than 300 howitzers opened fire, directly covering the positions of the First Corps with firepower.
The artillery fire was so fierce that it was almost outrageous. Li Qiufan felt that if the enemy continued to bombard them for a long time, the high slope where they built their position might be plowed down.
It can be said that the enemy army used all its strength this time, and it is bound to completely wipe out the 70,000 to 80,000 people in the first corps.
So as soon as the fighting started, they didn't hold back at all. More than 300 howitzers opened fire at the same time, and then more than 200 tanks launched a charge, followed by countless infantry.
"Correspondent, notify the forward position to counterattack immediately, don't let the enemy troops rush to the position!"
"In addition, notify the mortar position to immediately suppress the charging enemy troops with artillery fire. It is still the same old rule, change places after three rounds of fire!"
Seeing that the enemy's mobile troops and infantry began to charge, Li Qiufan immediately asked the correspondent to issue a counterattack order to the troops in the forward position.
At this time, the soldiers in the forward position had just crawled out of the gun-proof hole. The enemy's artillery fire was too fierce. Although they hid in the gun-proof hole in time, they were still a little stunned by the explosion.
After regaining consciousness, the soldiers in the forward position looked outside the trenches and suddenly discovered that the enemy had already charged halfway and was about to rush to the position.
Immediately afterwards, the shouts of the messengers rang in everyone's ears, asking them to fight back immediately.
As the messenger's words fell, the sound of gunfire resounded throughout the entire battlefield.
The enemy and we had no probing firepower at all, so they just took out all their assets, and the fight was extremely fierce from the beginning.
But that was not the end yet. Just as the soldiers of the First Corps struggled to resist the charging enemy troops, countless enemy aircraft flew from the distant sky.
"Correspondent, notify the air defense regiment immediately to prepare, enemy planes are coming!"
Li Qiufan saw this scene through the telescope, and then asked the correspondent to notify the air defense regiment to prepare to intercept enemy aircraft.
But the anti-aircraft regiment ran out of ammunition along the way, and it also lost a lot of anti-aircraft armored vehicles.
Facing nearly a hundred enemy bombers and fighters, the air defense regiment was really powerless this time.
After losing seven or eight aircraft, the enemy broke through the fire interception of the air defense regiment and reached the sky above the 1st Corps position.
Then, like hail, aerial bombs began to be dropped.
The entire First Corps position exploded again, and the fire coverage was more intense than the enemy's howitzers. Even the anti-gun holes were blown up a lot.
And then the enemy's more than 300 howitzers fired again, giving the soldiers of the First Corps no chance to breathe at all.
Under this firepower attack, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the enemy took advantage of this opportunity to rush directly to the front-line defensive position, and then the enemy and we started a fierce hand-to-hand battle.
"Correspondent, contact the First Army immediately and tell Erhu that there is no room for loss in the first-line defense position. Even with your teeth, I have to push the enemy back!"
The First Army was in charge of the frontal position and was the first to be attacked by the enemy. Upon seeing this, Li Qiufan immediately asked his correspondent to contact Erhu and told him to push back the enemy.
Because once they fail to withstand the enemy's offensive and are directly inserted in depth, they will have no choice but to wait for death.
The enemy's tanks and armored vehicles were too numerous, and they had no tank regiment to contain them.
Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles are rampaging in the depths, and the entire defense line will be pulled to collapse.
Therefore, the position must be defended, and the enemy must be kept out of the position to fight.
Erhu also understood this truth, especially after receiving Li Qiufan's order, he directly led his guard platoon into the first-line defensive position.
When the fight reached this point, there was no distinction between army commanders or division commanders. Everyone had only one purpose, which was to knock the enemy out of their positions.
The First Army was in a difficult situation, and the other Second Army and Fourth Army were also in a difficult situation, and they were all engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy.
"Correspondent, order the air defense regiment to move into the front line immediately and ask them to suppress the enemy's follow-up troops for me!"
Seeing that the enemy troops were still increasing and attacking the front-line defense positions of each army, Li Qiufan did not care about the enemy aircraft that might come back, and directly ordered the air defense regiment to enter the front line to suppress the enemy troops with fire.
The air defense regiment that received the order immediately entered the forward position, and then opened up its self-propelled anti-aircraft machine guns with full firepower, directly pushing back the enemy troops who were attacking the position.
