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

Upon hearing this, Luo Sheng immediately declined Jiang Chao's kindness.

“Commander Jiang, that’s not necessary. I have already dispatched the 359th Regiment to provide support. I think it will be no problem.

In addition, the 9th US Army, seeing that the attack on Samsori was fruitless, is likely to turn its guns and aim its battle sights at our Longyuanli, so in the next period of time, I have to trouble your 113th Division to cooperate with our 120th Division's 360th Regiment to defend here together."

When Jiang Chao heard Luo Sheng's request, he readily agreed.

"Okay, Commander Luo, that's no problem. Zhisi's mission for us is to defend Sansoli and Longyuanli, so we will fight together."

Army coupling, temporary army command post of the US 2nd Army.

At this time, Army Commander Moore was giving a speech inside. Standing in front of him were Hart, commander of the US 2nd Division, who had attacked Sansoli to no avail, and Shen Jing, commander of the US 25th Division.

The two commanders hung their heads, not daring to breathe...

After pacing back and forth for a while, Army Commander Moore spoke first.

"I say, Hart, Shin Kyung, what the hell are you two doing? Two main divisions can't take down a regiment? Are you kidding me? Or do you want to tell other troops on the battlefields of North and South Korea that our US 2nd Army is a bunch of idiots and good-for-nothings.

It's just a Volunteer Army infantry regiment, without even heavy weapons. Your two divisions can't even take two mountain ranges. I'm really disappointed."

Faced with the reprimand from Army Commander Moore, the commanders of the 2nd U.S. Division, Hart, and 25th U.S. Division, Shin Kyoto, knew that they were indeed inferior in skills.

However, they felt that it was necessary to explain, so the commander of the 2nd U.S. Division, Hart, took the initiative to step forward.

"Commander, it's not that we didn't try our best. On the one hand, the terrain of Sansoli is too dangerous, with all the towering mountains. Our armored regiment and artillery regiment are completely unable to display their strength.

As for the infantry, our army is completely at a disadvantage. The enemy's regiment is not an ordinary regiment at all. I suspect it is their ace unit. Moreover, their individual soldiers are too strong. They don't know what retreat means. Even if they are injured, they will rush into our army with grenades and die with us. "

General Moore could not accept what Hart said.

Because he focuses on the result. The process is not important at all. If he loses now, he loses.

However, he also knew that it was meaningless to simply reprimand the two division commanders. The most important thing at the moment was to break out, leave here as soon as possible, enter Shunchuan and retreat back to Pingrang City. This was the top priority.

Thinking of this, Moore's tone softened a bit.

"Okay, everyone, now is not the time to discuss how bravely the Volunteer Army fought, nor is it the time to blame you for your failure in the battle.

We don't have much time left for our army, so let's study it as soon as possible. Since we can't take the three institutes by force, what should we do next? "

In response to Commander Moore's questions, everyone began to study the marching map and sand table in front of them.

Then Shen Jing of the 25th Division of the US Army expressed his opinion.

"Commander, since the area around Sansoli is in a strategic location and is easy to defend but difficult to attack, we cannot take it in a short period of time.

Then we will find another way. As far as I know, there is another way to Suncheon, which is Longyuanli, 15 kilometers away from Samsori. As long as we take this place, we can open the way to Suncheon. Although it is also surrounded by mountains, it is not as steep as Samsori. "

When Army Commander Moore heard Shen Jing's proposal, his eyes immediately lit up. He carefully observed the marching map and spoke.

"Shen Jing, your plan is good. Let's concentrate our forces to take Longyuanli now."

At this time, the deputy commander Kurt, who had not spoken, interrupted the topic.

"Commander, there are two division commanders, please wait a moment.

According to the feedback from the advance reconnaissance company, there is a division and a regiment of the Volunteer Army deployed in the Longyuanli area.

Although the terrain there is not as steep as Sansoli, this place is not a flat plain, but rather a mountainous area.

It is very unfavorable for the deployment of our armored forces. Our army does not have much advantage in equipment, and the enemy has more people and more power. I think we may not be able to chew this tough bone.

Therefore, I personally suggest that we should make a decisive move right now, abandon the baggage and equipment, split up into small groups and directly cross the mountains on both sides of Sansori, and then quickly move towards Anzhou. Only in this way can we preserve our army's vitality as much as possible."

This was the second time that Deputy Commander Kurt proposed such a combat plan, but it was ruthlessly rejected by Commander Moore.

"No, Kurt, I don't accept your suggestion. Our Ninth Army has so much equipment, so many tanks, so many artillery pieces. Are we just going to give them to the Volunteer Army for free? That's impossible.

Besides, we still have the strength to fight, and we still have time, so there is no need to be so extreme. "

Then he looked at Hart, commander of the 2nd Division, and Shin Kyung, commander of the 25th Division.

"Hart, Shen Jing, I order you to lead your troops to Longyuanli from now on, and I will also give you a reserve regiment on hand.

Don’t let me down this time, we must take Longyuanli!”

After Hart and Shin Kyung received Moore's order, they both patted their chests and expressed their opinions.

"Don't worry, Commander, we will complete the mission."

Deputy Army Commander Kurt, standing by, looked at Hart and Shen Jing's departing backs and shook his head. He felt that this time their 9th Army was going to be in trouble.

In the Samsoli area, the 9nd and 2th Divisions under the 25th U.S. Army have begun to evacuate in an orderly manner.

Yu Chengguang, the political commissar of the 358th Regiment, who was standing on the highest peak on both sides of Sansoli, saw this amazing scene through a telescope and immediately called He Daming, who was standing nearby.

"Lao He, look, the Americans are starting to retreat."

When He Daming heard what Yu Chengguang said, he also picked up the telescope and looked over.

And that is exactly what happened.

Yu Chengguang felt that the behavior of these American soldiers was too strange, so he asked He Daming again.

"Lao He, what's wrong with these Americans? Did they give up so quickly? Don't they plan to break out of the three institutes? Not really. I feel like if they try harder, they still have a chance."
