Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea
Chapter 112 He Daming's tactics: retreat to advance, encircle and annihilate the US 3rd Divisio
On the 17th, the US military mobilized 6 infantry regiments to launch a fierce attack on Heiyuntuling and Baiyanshan areas.
The 180th Division of the Eastern Route Army was ordered to hold its ground here to tie down the enemy's firepower and provide cover for the retreat of the majority of the Eastern Route Army of the 20th Corps.
At this time, Yang Ren, commander of the 20th Corps, dispatched the Central Army and the Western Army to retreat northward, and appropriately contracted the defense line, placing the main defense task in the areas of Lisidong, Jianzhenxian, and Gulishi.
The US 3rd Division, along with an infantry regiment of the South Korean 1st Division and the South Korean 11th Division, rushed towards Fangtongli.
But what Smith, the commander of the US 3rd Division, never expected was that the encounter he had originally planned did not happen.
There was no sign of any volunteer soldiers in the entire Fangtongli area, which made him unable to help but curse.
"This is fucking hell. Did these volunteers get wind of our arrival and run away in advance?"
LeBron, the military staff officer at the side, echoed: "Commander, this is probably the case. These cowards ran away as soon as they saw the fate of our American troops."
LeBron's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Lee Sung-jae, the commander of the 11th Division of South Korea.
"General LeBron, you must have made a mistake. The other party is the famous He Daming. This guy is not a good person. He suddenly gave up Fangtongli. He must be planning some conspiracy. We must be careful."
Lee Sung-jae's kindness did not attract LeBron's attention, but instead caused him to ridicule.
"I say, Commander Li, your South Korean army is afraid of their volunteer army, and our American army is formidable. No matter what conspiracy or tricks they have, they are nothing to our 3rd Division."
Seeing that Brigadier General LeBlanc was so ungrateful, Lee Sung-jae, commander of the South Korean 11th Division, was ready to speak again.
But he was interrupted by Han Suk-kyu, the commander of the 1st Division of South Korea.
"Captain Li, he's almost awake. Major General Smith will make the most correct choice. We just need to cooperate."
After hearing what Han Suk-kyu said, Li Chengzai stopped talking.
....................
After a series of discussions, Smith, commander of the 3rd U.S. Division, advocated immediately heading north to pursue the fleeing volunteers.
After the meeting, everyone left the temporary command post.
Li Chengzai quickly walked to Han Suk-kyu's side and asked quietly,
"Captain Han, what did you mean just now? You and I both suffered a great loss at the hands of He Daming. Why don't you stand up and refute that arrogant LeBron? You should know that this volunteer army is not just cunning and difficult to deal with."
Facing the 11th Division Commander Lee Sung-jae's complaints, Han Seok-kyu immediately explained the reason to him.
"Captain Li, it's not that I don't want to explain, but explanations are useless. The commander of the 3rd Division is new, and they don't know how terrifying He Daming is. Anyway, since they are so confident, let them lead the attack. Your 11th Division and I will assist from the side. Do you understand what I mean?"
When Li Chengzai heard Han Sukyu's words, he instantly showed a confused expression.
.............................................
On the 18th, the US 3rd Division, as the vanguard, began to attack in the direction of Isildong. At this time, the 67th Army and the 29th Division led by He Daming had retreated to the Yuebongshan 1 area.
As for the other troops on the battlefield, they were all involved in bitter battles to varying degrees. The Julishi and Heiyuntuling in the central area had been recaptured by the US Joint Forces.
In the eastern area, due to recent frequent rainfall, the river water has risen, and the roads in the Jinchengchuan area have become muddy due to irrigation by rainwater.
In addition, the US military changed its usual practice and began to dispatch its air wings to provide fire support and bomb important bridges and roads.
This put the Eastern Army into a completely difficult battle, in a dilemma where it was difficult to advance and even more difficult to retreat.
On the 19th, the US 3rd Division successfully captured Erqingdong and headed straight for the Volunteer Army's 67th Army and 29th Division located in Yuefeng Mountain.
Due to the US 3rd Division's eagerness to fight and its blind arrogance, the distance between it and the South Korean 1st and 11th Divisions on the front line became increasingly longer.
This also allowed He Daming, deputy commander of the 15th Army, to keenly smell the opportunity.
He immediately found Li Xiang, the commander of the 67th Army.
"Commander Li, the opportunity has come. The US 3rd Division has already arrived at Erqingdong. It looks like they will launch a surprise attack on Yuefeng Mountain tomorrow.
However, due to their high mobility, they have already distanced themselves from the South Korean 1st and 11th Divisions. I feel this is a great opportunity for us to counterattack."
Li Xiang, commander of the 67th Army, agreed with what He Daming said.
"Then Deputy Commander He, according to your opinion, what do you want to do?"
In response to Li Xiang's question, He Daming directly stated his combat intentions.
"Commander Li, my idea is very simple. You 67th Army will stay at Yuefeng Mountain to continue to attract firepower. I will lead the 29th Division, the 68nd Division under the 202th Army, and the 54th Division of the 135th Army. The three divisions will go directly to Erqingdong and directly surround the US 3rd Division."
After hearing He Daming's battle plan, Li Xiang's eyes lit up.
"Yes, this plan is feasible."
...................................................
That night, taking advantage of the cover of darkness, He Daming led the 29th Division, the 202nd Division, and the 135th Division and began to move towards the east side of Erqingdong.
Taking advantage of dawn, they all hid in the nearby mountains.
The US 3rd Division located in Erqingdong took advantage of the early morning of the 20th and began to move towards the Yuefeng Mountain area, determined to destroy the 67th Army of the Volunteer Army here.
Along the way, Staff Officer LeBron chatted with Division Commander Smith.
"Major General Smith, these volunteers are so timid that they have given up such a large piece of land one after another. It seems that the reputation of our 3rd Division is still very impressive."
Smith was quite touched by LeBron's compliment.
They had no idea that their hometown was about to be destroyed.
