Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

Chapter 113: The summer counterattack ended and a ceasefire agreement was signed.

As the US 3rd Division continued to move, the entire Yuefeng Mountain was exposed to their sight.

The 67th Army was stationed on Yuefeng Mountain, and soon there was an exchange of fire between the 67th Army and the US 3rd Division.

However, although the 67th Army was not as well-equipped as the US 3rd Division, it had the advantage of geographical location and numbers. Although the US military had air fire support, it could basically withstand the opponent's offensive.

After confirming that the main force of the US 3rd Division had left Erqingdong, He Daming launched a surprise attack and led the 29th Division to attack Erqingdong. At that time, there was only one US regiment in Erqingdong, and it was instantly annihilated under the fire suppression of the three divisions of the Volunteer Army.

After taking Erqingdong, He Daming immediately led the 29th and 135th Divisions northward to attack the US 3rd Division, while the 202nd Division continued to defend Erqingdong.

With the two divisions led by He Daming joining the battle, the US 2rd Division, which was attacked from both sides, was quickly defeated.

At this time, the commander of the 3rd US Division, Smith, roared at the chief of staff LeBron beside him: "Damn it, Brigadier General LeBron, where did this volunteer army come from? Why didn't we find it before? Now our army is attacked from all sides and the situation is very unfavorable."

At this time, Chief of Staff LeBlanc was a little overwhelmed when he heard what Smith said. He now regretted not listening to the words of Lee Sung-jae, commander of the South Korean 11th Division.

He is not a fool. He naturally understands that he has fallen into the trap of the Volunteer Army and is currently being framed.

He looked at Smith.

"Major General Smith, our army is doomed to fail. The most urgent task is to retreat to the rear and join up with the South Korean 1st and 11th Divisions in the rear. This is the most important thing."

When the division commander Smith heard what the chief of staff LeBron said, he angrily scolded: "Damn it, I also know to join up with the South Korean 1st Division and 11th Division, but do you think these volunteers will let us go easily at this moment?"

....................................

As the two men explained, the Yuefeng Mountain blocking battle became more intense.

The appearance of He Daming's two divisions not only destroyed the artillery positions of the US 2rd Division, preventing them from causing more damage to the 3th Army in Yuefeng Mountain, but most importantly, under the suppression of nearly five divisions, the defeat of the US 67rd Division was inevitable. Although they still had air support, it was only a drop in the bucket for the situation of the US 5rd Division.

At 20 a.m. on the 10th, the U.S. 3rd Division was breached by the attack of five divisions of the Volunteer Army.

In order to escape, Smith and his men ordered the armored tank regiment to lead the way, with the remaining infantry regiments following behind.

Such a combat combination did allow them to create a gap on He Daming's side.

However, He Daming did not panic when facing the US 3rd Division fleeing south, because he still had a safety net in Erqingdong, which was the 202nd Division of the Volunteer Army.

The US 3rd Division, which had originally thought it had escaped, was again ambushed by the Volunteer Army in Erqingdong.

By dusk, after the originally 3-strong US 5000rd Division escaped from Erqing Cave, only less than people were left, and most of them were annihilated by He Daming and his men.

This battle dealt a direct blow to the arrogance of the US 3rd Division and directly destroyed the self-confidence of the US military.

The South Korean 1st and 11th Divisions, which served as the support troops, learned that the US 3rd Division was almost wiped out.

Division Commander Li Chengzai almost laughed out loud.

"I say, Commander Han, look at what I said, these are not my words, and you are suffering now.

I told them a long time ago that these volunteer soldiers were not that simple and must have been harboring many bad intentions. However, these guys were so self-righteous that they didn't believe me.

Now, more than half of them have been wiped out. They are really idiots."

Han Suk-kyu, the commander of the 1st Division of South Korea, nodded after hearing what Lee Sung-jae said.

"Well, Commander Li, that being said, let's not talk too much about these things. After all, the U.S. military is our friendly force now, so let's go and support them as soon as possible."

...........................................

With the support of the South Korean 1st and 11th Divisions, the US 3rd Division finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Smith, the commander of the 3rd Division of the US Army, felt a lot more relieved after being rescued. He now realized that these volunteers were too terrible, which cast a shadow on his future military career.

As the news of the defeat of the US 3rd Division spread throughout the battlefield.

The morale of the Volunteer Army was higher, while the morale of the US Joint Forces was lower.

In the following days of fighting, the Volunteer Army and the US Joint Forces won and lost alternately. Finally, with the pressure of large US forces, the Volunteer Army retreated to Jincheng and Yashenli areas, announcing the end of this summer counterattack.

The battle lasted a total of 15 days. The 20th Corps of our Volunteer Army cooperated with the 15th Army to forcibly break through the two lines of defense that the South Korean government forces had painstakingly set up. In this battle, a total of five South Korean divisions and one US division were severely damaged, killing 2 people and capturing 5 people.

This battle completely crushed the arrogance of the South Korean government forces and forced the South Korean group headed by Lee Seung-wan to lower their proud heads.

This summer counterattack was the first offensive launched by the Volunteer Army and was fought very beautifully.

He Daming was commended and praised by the main leaders of the Zhisi for his outstanding performance in this battle. Of course, it was impossible to promote him to the rank of army commander. It was not because his contributions were not great enough, but because his qualifications were too shallow. Besides, promotion is not something that can be decided by one person. The water here is quite complicated. After all, factional culture is everywhere.

As for the commander of the 15th Army, Qin Wei, as the chief officer, he can naturally get a share of the credit.

A week later, the two sides finally signed an armistice agreement in Banmendian. Of course, this was just a ceasefire, not complete peace, so the volunteers did not relax their vigilance and withdraw from North and South Korea. Instead, they planned to withdraw the troops in batches and in an orderly manner.

As for the first group to be evacuated, they were several armies under the 13th Corps that first entered North and South Korea to fight, such as the 66th Army, the 40th Army, the 39th Army, the 38th Army, etc.
