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

Wen Cheng, who was on the other end of the walkie-talkie, agreed immediately after hearing He Daming's operation application.

"Okay, Commander He, I agree. I will also inform Zhisi."

He Daming: "Okay, Commander."

Then the walkie-talkie connection was lost.

Li Zhentang, who was standing by, was delighted when he heard what He Daming had just said to the military.

"Master He, thank you. I really don't know how to put it into words."

He Daming heard this and waved his hand.

"Deputy Commander Li, you are too polite. In the current situation, the left wing is crucial."

Then He Daming looked at the correspondent Niu Ping.

"Xiao Niu, you will contact Li Ling, the leader of the 359th Regiment, and ask him to rush to Daofeng Mountain as soon as possible and let him guard this place."

Upon hearing this, Niu Ping patted his chest and assured He Daming: "Okay, Commander, I'll do it right away."

He Daming then led the 360th and 358th Regiments under his command and took Li Zhentang with him, marching quickly along the path towards the Linjiang River.

At this time, at the Imjin River, the commander of the 65th Army, Xiao Shang, commanded his 194th and 195th Divisions to cross the river in the Gaolangpuli area, but due to the limited area, it was not suitable for large-scale troop operations.

In addition, the remaining troops of the 190th Division were still crossing the river, which resulted in the three teams being squeezed together, and even caused serious trampling and crowding incidents.

On the other hand, the US Joint Forces fired a large number of flares into the air from time to time to provide vision and coordinates for the artillery.

As the South Korean 64st Division's artillery positions launched massive artillery attacks, the soldiers of the 65th and th Armies died heroically like living targets.

Xiao Shang, commander of the 65th Army, who was watching the battle in the rear, felt like his heart was bleeding.

He really wanted to give the order to stop crossing the river, but military orders were as heavy as a mountain, so he could only give the order anyway.

It was already 23 o'clock in the evening on the 9rd. After successfully crossing the river, the 191st Division changed its combat objective and launched an attack towards the Machili area in the south.

The 194th and 193rd Divisions successfully captured Mituo Temple.

At this time, the casualties of the 64th and 65th Armies were already quite serious.

Commander Yang Zhi, who had been observing the battle on the front line, knew better than anyone that if the battle continued like this, the 64th and 65th Armies under his command would inevitably suffer huge losses.

Just when he was extremely anxious, Zhisi suddenly called and informed him that a division of reinforcements was heading north from the area around the court, preparing to attack the South Korean 19st Reinforced Division together with their 1th Corps.

After receiving this news, Yang Zhi could finally put down the stone in his heart.

At three o'clock in the morning on April 4, the 24th and 358th Regiments led by He Daming finally arrived at the south bank of the Imjin River.

The enemy's defense line was 5 kilometers ahead of them.

He Daming immediately ordered the entire division to attack. They must break through the defense line of the South Korean 1st Division before dawn. Otherwise, once daybreak comes, the US Air Force will be able to cruise over their heads with impunity, which will not be a good thing for them.

Led by its commander Chu Yun, the 358th Regiment took the lead and immediately aimed at the artillery positions of the South Korean st Division.

At this time, the South Korean army had no idea that there would be volunteer troops appearing behind them. They were caught off guard for a while and the entire position was wiped out.

The 360th Regiment, led by the division commander He Daming, headed directly for the command post of the South Korean 1st Division.

By the time the South Korean First Division reacted, it was too late.

The 64th and 65th Armies of the Volunteer Army, which had been struggling, suddenly discovered that the South Korean st Division on the south bank of the Imjin River had stopped its artillery attacks, and even the machine gun positions seemed to have reduced their firepower output. This surprised them. They thought that the enemy had run out of ammunition, so they quickened their pace.

After they broke through the defense line of the South Korean 1st Division, they discovered that it was a sneak attack by friendly forces.

Soon, they also joined the battle. Under the attack from the north and south, the originally impregnable defense line of the South Korean First Division was instantly collapsed, and the South Korean First Division had to retreat south quickly.

By dawn on the 24th, the entire crossing of the river campaign was over.

Zeng Yu, the commander of the 64th Army, and Xiao Shang, the commander of the 65th Army, met He Daming, the acting commander of the 120th Division who came to their aid.

"Commander He, thank you so much. Without your support, we don't know how many casualties we would have suffered."

Facing the thanks from the two army commanders, He Daming was very humble.

"My dear commanders, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

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

After a brief greeting, the 19th and 64th Armies of the 65th Corps took a short rest before continuing their march south.

The Third Corps of the Central Army and the Ninth Corps of the Right Army, although advancing triumphantly all the way, defeated the US troops step by step.

However, the commander of the U.S. 8th Army, Vice Admiral Van Litt, made good use of the magnetic attraction tactics developed by Matthew Lee Qiwei. Relying on the U.S. coalition forces' quick response capabilities, strong mobile marching speed, and complete air fire support, he retreated while blocking the volunteers, giving the volunteers no opportunity to take advantage of.

The Volunteer Army originally planned to quickly resolve the battle south of the "38th Parallel", but was dragged by the US Joint Forces into a positional battle, and progress was extremely slow.

This made the Volunteer Army's logistical supply problems particularly prominent, and also made the short-term combat goals planned by the Volunteer Army headquarters come to naught, and it could only turn into a long-term combat.

By April 4, the Volunteer Army had successfully captured Gapyeong, Chuncheon, and Bupyeong-ri. However, although a large amount of territory was captured, not many enemy troops were wiped out.

The US Joint Forces took the initiative to attack during the day and retreated 30 kilometers at night, using space to buy time. This not only caused great trouble to the Volunteer Army, but also lengthened the supply line. It seemed that they were replicating the US Joint Forces' counterattack in the Fourth Campaign.

At the same time, two regiments of the 120th Division where He Daming was stationed and four divisions of the 64th and 65th Armies successfully defeated the British 29th Brigade in the court and occupied the area.

On the 26th, it cooperated with the 40th Army to directly attack Uijeongbu and successfully captured this major city.

And on the 27th, they captured the Gaoyang area.

At this time, the passage north of Seoul had been completely opened.

All the main forces of the US Joint Forces retreated to Seoul.

By April 4, all units of the Volunteer Army had arrived at their designated locations, and the first phase of the fifth battle to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was declared over.
