There were two guards wearing steel helmets standing outside the tent. Unlike other American soldiers, both of them wore armbands on their left arms. They should be special guards assigned to generals.
"Get out of the way, I have something urgent to report to the general!"
"No! You can't go in!"
"Get out of my way!"
At this time, someone made a loud noise at the door. Almond frowned, put down the newspaper in his hand, opened the tent curtain, and asked: "What's going on!"
When the guard saw Almond coming out, he gave a standard American military salute and said, "General, these two insist on coming in. I won't let them in, so they want to force their way in!"
Almond looked at the two people, nodded slightly, and asked: "Are you..."
One of them immediately saluted and said: "Your Excellency General, I am a battalion commander of the 1st Marine Division. My name is Rohr, and he is the commander of my B Company."
Almond felt a little strange: "If you have anything, you can report it to your division commander."
Major Rohr looked a little embarrassed and said: "Uh... General, our division commander is sleeping. He doesn't like to be disturbed while he is sleeping."
Almond's face showed sullenness. He was angry that the commander of the 1st Marine Division was fast asleep when the war was at its most critical. Then in order to show his cultivation, he changed his sulky expression back.
He came out with a calm expression: "You two, come in."
The two happily followed Almond into the tent. The commander of Company B under Major Rolle rolled his eyes at the guard at the door when he entered the tent.
Almond found two chairs for them to put down, motioned them to sit down, and then said: "Young Major, what would you like to drink?"
Major Rolle sat on the stool, looking a little reserved, "No, General, thank you."
Almond patted his head, walked to the couch next to the table, sat down, and said, "I'm sorry, young major, I forgot your name again."
Major Roll responded: "General, my name is Roll."
Almond nodded, took a sip from the slightly cold water glass on the table, and said, "Well, Major Roll, you came here so late today, do you have anything to ask me for?"
Major Rohr immediately straightened up and said: "This B company commander captured a Chinese soldier during the attack today. The prisoner told them their unit number. Only then did I understand that we have been following this division for the past few days.
A regiment below is fighting, and I can tell that they have no reinforcements at all, they are left alone."
Almond listened carefully and nodded from time to time. Hearing that the other party had obtained such important information, he hurriedly asked: "Where is this prisoner?"
Major Rohr said: "Later I asked him to take off his clothes for examination, but he resisted. There was a bayonet hidden in his clothes, stabbed both of us, and then committed suicide."
Almond felt a little pity and said: "Your men are all brave, keep talking."
Major Roll told Almond: "Well, the designation of this Chinese army is the 180th Division."
Almond seemed to have thought of something, and immediately walked to a large map hanging on the wall. His eagle eyes were fixed on the map, and he was looking for something in the dense lines between the enemy and ourselves.
Upon seeing this, Major Rolle and the commander of Company B also stood up.
Almond stared at the map hanging on the wall for a long time, then turned to the two of them and said: "Major Roll, your response to the situation today was very timely. You can come to me if you have anything in the future. They will not come back."
I've stopped you, please sit down and tell me about the situation in your camp."
Major Rohr showed a hint of joy on his face. After sitting down, he said: "Your Excellency, our battalion suffered heavy casualties today. The Chinese resistance is very tenacious. The seven days must be up. I believe this tenacious resistance will not
If they persist for too long, it will be nothing more than a fight between trapped beasts."
Almond listened to Major Rolle's words and called the guard: "Borrow another bowl of hot water."
"yes."
The guard opened the curtain and turned to leave.
Upon seeing this, Major Rohr stood up and said: "Your Majesty General, it's getting late. I have to go back and take a look. If anything happens in the future, I will come to you again. You go to bed early and we'll leave first."
Almond originally planned to retain the two of them, but when he opened his mouth to stop them, they had already walked out of the tent.
He stood there for two minutes, thinking about many things, then opened the curtain and said to the guard: "Go and call the commander of the 1st Marine Division over. I have something to discuss with him."
These days, Almond has been following Shangfeng Li Qiwei's deployment, advancing bit by bit, like a silkworm chrysalis, gradually eating away the 'mulberry leaf' of the Volunteer Army. But the situation for the Volunteer Army is still the same
The only thing he had a vague understanding of was the feeling of crossing the river by feeling the stones. The front was foggy. Even though he had tried his best to order the troops to collect the troops on the opposite side, he only knew that their enemy was the 60th Army.
The strength of the Sixty Army should not be underestimated, which is why Li Qiwei formulated this plan. Now, they clearly understood that the enemy on the front was not the Sixty Army, but just a division under the Sixty Army. This made his
I feel a little bit confused.
Almond pulled down the two small flags on the map and inserted them forward. The two small flags were the 1st Marine Division and the 7th U.S. Division under his Tenth Army.
Almond's plan was also very simple, to reduce the fighting distance. Now that he knew the enemy's distance and strength, it was just one division of the Chinese army confronting him, and he had the strength of two ace divisions in his hands.
Almond made an impulsive plan, and the first step was to surround and annihilate the Chinese army.
From the beginning of the Chinese army's entry into North Korea to the present, there has never been a battle to wipe out an entire division of the Chinese army. If he can succeed this time, then he and his Tenth Army will be famous all over the world, and at the same time they will avenge their last defeat.
.The last defeat refers to the defeat by the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army in the second battle, which also included his Feist Task Force.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "General, your hot water."
The guard came in and respectfully put the hot water on the table.
Almond waved his hand with confidence on his face. He thought this was a rare opportunity given to him by God to avenge his shame. Almond thought to himself, how can a division of troops be able to withstand me?
With one army, let alone 50,000 friendly neighbors fighting together, he is bound to win this battle!
The hazy sound of artillery woke up instructor Shao. He sat up in a cold sweat and looked around. He was snoring loudly. Xia Yuan and the others were all sleeping deeply. It was rare to have such a chance to rest, and the surroundings were safe. Naturally, they had to take good care of themselves.
Rest, rest.
Instructor Shao was restless while listening to the sound of artillery in the distance. He couldn't sleep no matter what. He got up and wanted to go out for a walk. When he turned around, he saw Xia Yuan had woken up at some time. Just as he was about to speak, Xia Yuan made a gesture to him.
With a gesture of silence, he put on his shoes and came to Instructor Shao, whispering: "Can't sleep? Instructor, I'll walk around with you."
Away from the resting place, Xia Yuan took out a cigarette from his arms, handed it to instructor Shao, and lit one himself. Listening to the sound of cannons spreading from a distance, he puffed out the smoke and said: "Instructor,
Don’t worry too much, the current situation is not as bad as you imagined.”
Instructor Shao lit a cigarette, turned to stare at Xia Yuan, and said, "Old Xia, I have never understood how you have changed so much from before."
Xia Yuan smoked a cigarette and said vaguely: "Maybe I suddenly became enlightened after arriving on the Korean battlefield."
Instructor Shao was originally unwilling to do such a mysterious thing, but when Xia Yuan arrived on the Korean battlefield, things were completely different from before. This made even Instructor Shao who did not believe in such a sudden enlightenment have to believe that there might really be a sudden enlightenment in the world.
Enlightened person.
Smoking a cigarette, my thoughts were a little dull. The artillery fire in the distance was particularly fierce. The enemy's offensive did not weaken as night fell. On the contrary, it felt like it was getting more intense.
Instructor Shao was a little confused: "The foreign devils tonight are different from before."
Xia Yuan nodded and said: "Maybe the enemy discovered that our military strength is different from what they actually imagined."
In fact, the U.S. military will actually launch a large-scale attack on the 180th Division's positions tomorrow morning, including the departure of Newman's leading troops, and the U.S. military will begin a large-scale pressure on the border. At the same time, the 180th Division's final retreat road will be blocked by the enemy, and the U.S. 24th Division will also
The last barrier will be formed tomorrow. At this point, the US 7th Division, the 1st Marine Division, the Pseudo-Sixth Division and the US 24th Division have completed the encirclement of the 180th Division.
As of now, the fighting on the front line has not stopped, and Xia Yuan has no way to change the situation faced by the 180th Division, even if he is standing in God's Vision.
The spicy taste of cigarettes dispelled the inner boredom.
When soldiers come, they will block it; when water comes, earth covers it.
This is a law that has not changed since ancient times. He only needs to work hard in this area. The 180th Division will follow its original trajectory and break through the enemy's positions without any problem. Xia Yuan thought to himself as instructor Shao's words came to his ears.
Voice: "Teacher!"
Xia Yuan turned around and walked towards several people. They were all the leaders he had seen at the division headquarters. He quickly straightened his posture and pinched out the cigarette in his hand. He still had great respect for these revolutionary predecessors, especially these commanders.
, to be able to face such difficulties in such an era and defeat an almost impossible enemy is extremely great.
"Don't throw it away, don't throw it away. It would be a pity to lose it."
Teacher Zheng quickly stopped him, but Xia Yuan's reaction was too fast. When instructor Shao spoke, he had already reacted and dropped the cigarette on the ground. However, Teacher Zheng picked up the cigarette again and looked at it.
He looked at it and said, "This must have been seized from the Americans."
Xia Yuan nodded: "The American devils have a lot of these cigarettes in cans, and there are also a lot of them on their corpses. The American devils don't carry food to fight, but they do carry cigarettes."
Deputy Commander Duan said: "The Americans are so cautious. They have long had the idea of dealing with us in this way. In this way, our soldiers will not be able to seize food from them."
Chief of Staff Wang and Director Wu who followed behind them nodded thoughtfully. According to the news from the battlefield, they had already grasped this characteristic of the US military, but there was nothing they could do about it.
Deputy Commander Duan asked again: "So this is why you dare to touch the Yankees' positions. You are more powerful than I was back then. I was fighting the little devils. The firepower of the little devils is not comparable to that of the Yankees. This Yankee
He is much more vicious than the little devils back then."
Xia Yuan said: "When I was a platoon leader, Captain Lei led us to fight. The soldiers didn't have enough to eat, so they ate wild vegetables. They had no ammunition, and they had to touch foreign Japanese soldiers. I was thinking about how to seize some food.
, so I decided to target the Japanese."
Chief of Staff Wang lamented, "This is how the idea of 'no guns, no cannons, the enemy makes them for us' has been implemented to the end."
Commander Zheng said: "But not everyone is like Comrade Xia Yuan, who can bring US military supplies out of danger every time."
Everyone nodded along.
This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is not easy to actually implement it. They have an ace division of the US military in front of them, with tens of thousands of troops. They go in single-handedly to grab supplies. It is completely seeking death. No one would think of going to the foreign devils.
They were getting supplies on the position. But Xia Yuan thought of it. Not only did he think of it, he also did it. He drove more than a dozen trucks of supplies back safely, and even killed people with borrowed knives, wiping out a company of American troops.
Xia Yuan smiled "honestly", and he was completely from God's perspective. During the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, the U.S. military did a lot of incredible things. It was normal to bombard their own people, and they would be furious at the slightest disturbance.
If he adds fuel to the fire to the US military, he can let it bombard his own people.
Perhaps to Commander Zheng and others, the behavior of the US military was unbelievable, but looking at the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea, there were more than one unbelievable behavior of the US military, including the Turkish brigade that severely attacked friendly forces.
Xia Yuan looked at Mr. Zheng and the others with some curiosity and asked, "Sir, why are you here?"
Could it be that he came specifically to see him? Xia Yuan felt a little flattered.
The 180th Division is facing so many problems now that it can't think of a good countermeasure for a while. Commander Zheng, Deputy Commander Duan, Chief of Staff Wang and Director Wu discussed for more than an hour and based on the original combat plan
I have thought of a few painless methods, but it is impossible to say that they can affect the direction of the war.
This means that in the face of an absolute gap, no matter how good the strategy is, it cannot make up for the gap.
Master Zheng thought of Xia Yuan. He couldn't think of a good solution at the moment. Why not go around and take a look at this hero who came off the battlefield? He has a very thorough understanding of the battlefield. Maybe he could come and ask.
There are unexpected effects.
The power of the masses is powerful. Since they can't figure it out, maybe they can ask other people.
It's no accident that I can think of Xia Yuan. This boy's performance on the battlefield is really outstanding. It can be said that without him, many wounded people may have to sacrifice.
