The U.S. Tenth Army disembarked from Xingnan Port and marched to the Changjin Lake area in order to carry out MacArthur's intention of pincer operations, attack the North Korean People's Army from the east and west coasts of Korea, completely pacify the Korean War, and threaten Northeast China.
Many famous V elites of later generations have come up with various examples of later generations, desperately trying to prove that the US military had no intention of attacking China at that time. The country's decision to send troops to North Korea was a wrong decision, wasting people and money, and has not yet reaped the benefits.
People who make such idiotic remarks either have ulterior motives or are mentally disabled. Back then, Japan occupied Korea, invaded Northeast China, and finally swept across most of China. How many years has this lesson just passed? To say that Americans are friendly, this is
Someone needs to believe it!
Now, Zhou Qingfeng led the team into Gutuli and defeated a vital ring defense position of the US military. This information has been transmitted back to Xingnan Port through radio waves.
Xingnan Port has the headquarters of the U.S. Tenth Army and the 1st Marine Division. Major General Smith, who commands the 1st Marine Division, would fly from Xingnan to the front line in a helicopter to inspect the situation from time to time. This was simply a fantasy for the Volunteer Army.
ability.
Not long after dark, he learned that Gutuli was finished. Major General Smith was so angry that he really had the manic idea of going to the front line to command the battle in person. "You idiot Puller, how could he lose a battlefield support point where more than 3,000 people were stationed?"
?It would be better to take command of another pig than him!"
Major General Almond, commander of the Tenth Army, also received the news and hurried to Major General Smith. The two senior US military officers looked at the sand table at the headquarters and began to worry about the changes in the war situation.
At present, the main force of the Ninth Corps is still surrounding the main force of the 1st Marine Division in Liutan-ri and Hajieyuli. More than 100,000 people have not been able to break through the US defense circle of more than 10,000 people. Instead, they have suffered heavy casualties. But no one expected the main battlefield.
No problem, but there was a big problem in Gutuli, which was used as a blocking battlefield.
Colonel Puller, who had escaped into the mountains and was being hunted, also sent a telegram, requesting immediate support from the division headquarters, especially food and ammunition. The colonel said that they were currently experiencing difficulties, their morale was low, and they could hardly hold on.
Major General Smith was so angry when he heard the news - the volunteers who came from the north were more miserable and tired, but they were still fighting. The Marines were crying and howling just because they were hungry in the field. But now it was dark, and he could only
If you can ask Colonel Puller to be patient, help will be on the way.
The biggest trouble for the U.S. military at present is not the driven Colonel Puller, but the almost undefended Long Pass Road. This key road connects the entire Changjin Lake area and leads directly to Xingnan Port.
"We should take back Gutuli immediately, otherwise if this enemy army goes south, it will pose a great threat to us." The US military is not stupid. It will not fail to see the empty troops behind Gutuli. It can be directly driven by a car.
Fight to Xingnan Port.
After listening to Major General Smith's words, Major General Almond also frowned. But he asked: "Who will be sent to recover Gutuli?"
This is really a good question!
The enemy who can kill the US military in Gutuli is definitely not a weakling, and can even be called powerful, so the troops sent to recover cannot be too bad. But currently on the battlefield, the 1st Marine Division is surrounded and the 7th Division is isolated, leaving only the 1st Marine Division.
The third division guarding the hometown has enough troops to attack.
But with the fighting power of the Third Division, hahaha... are you sure you are not going to kill the enemy? This is a useless force that can't even handle the Beibang guerrillas, and it's not even qualified to be a policeman.
Due to its limited strength, the U.S. military continues to fill its troops with various Nanbang soldiers. Some of the Nanbang soldiers even grab strong men from the streets to make up the numbers. The U.S. Seventh Division on the battlefield has seven to eight thousand soldiers, which reduces the combat effectiveness of the Seventh Division.
dramatically drop.
The U.S. Third Division is even worse. Except for officers and non-commissioned officers, almost all of the team members at the grassroots level are soldiers. Such troops are in urgent need of training, but they are rushed into the battlefield.
The U.S. Third Division also had many battles with the Volunteer Army's 20th Army. But every time they fought, the Nanbang soldiers of the Third Division would quickly collapse, and then leave the U.S. soldiers in the unit to the Volunteer Army, which was a trap.
Few Americans.
When he was hesitating about where to raise troops, Major General Smith received two pieces of news. The good news was that the weather was good tonight, there was moonlight, and the navy could take off night fighters to support the operation. The bad news was..., Zhenxing, south of Gutuli
He couldn't hold on and was defeated by a single blow.
"The enemy has dispatched powerful armored forces, and our people simply cannot hold them." Major General Smith finally made up his mind after reading the telegram, "Let the Third Division go up, they have many people. We must stop the enemy's troops in Wulaoli."
This will give us time to adjust our forces."
The so-called "adjustment of troops" is nothing more than waiting until daytime and launching a more ferocious and indiscriminate bombing until the enemy is completely destroyed. Anyway, for the Americans, problems that can be solved with ammunition are not a problem.
Major General Almond has no choice. Although he is the commander of the Tenth Army, all the troops under him that can fight have already been deployed, leaving only the third division to guard the home. In the face of the enemy's possible raid on Xingnan Port
The only way to overcome the threat was to push the third division forward.
If you want to die, let those Korean soldiers die first, right?
"Let the aviation force take off night fighters as soon as possible. First, blow up the abandoned materials in Guli so that our opponents cannot get any supplies. At the same time, destroy the roads along the way and hinder the enemy from going south. Then let the third division come up. I hope they can hold on for at least one
night."
After issuing the order, the two US major generals were a little uneasy. No one knew whether this would work. If not, there would be big trouble!
The commander issued an order, the staff prepared a detailed combat plan, and the U.S. Third Division, which was defending Xingnan Port, was immediately mobilized. This was a force of more than 20,000 people, and the Americans' generous and tyrannical style was exerted in this force.
of vividly.
Thousands of vehicles carried thousands of people to form the vanguard and headed north. They towed artillery, were equipped with tanks, and were covered by night fighter jets. They looked quite powerful.
The Third Division needs to strengthen its defense at Wulaoli, which is nearly 30 kilometers away, and stop the enemy forces at Zhenxingli, which is about 20 kilometers away.
Wulaoli, which the US military has high hopes for, is equivalent to a gate. In front of the gate is a rugged mountainous area, and behind the gate is a relatively gentle plain terrain. If the Volunteer Army's armored forces are really strong enough, then after they rush in, they can
Running around everywhere and no longer able to control it.
Rushing to Wulaoli, the U.S. Third Division deployed two regiments here. The seemingly strong troops even occupied the hills around Wulaoli. However, facing the dark night, the officers and soldiers of the Third Division did not
Too confident.
The Nanbang soldiers in the division had no idea what they were going to face, but they were urgently gathered and deployed to the field after nightfall. This drudgery was enough to make people complain. Not to mention that the American commanders all looked ugly.
Extremely disturbing.
The mood of the US commander of the 3rd Division was not much better. The 1st Marine Division in front was in bad luck. How could they block the extremely ferocious volunteers with their scumbag soldiers? No matter how you looked at it,
