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

After taking Bainiu Hill, the 119th and 120th Divisions began to clean up the battlefield. It must be said that the South Korean 9th Division was quite wealthy. They had stockpiled a large amount of baggage and supplies, piles of canned food, and a large amount of ammunition on Bainiu Hill, which made He Daming and Xu Shijie very happy.

They began to discuss the distribution of spoils.

"Captain He, there are really a lot of supplies and resources in Bainiu Highland this time. Our 119th Division suffered heavy losses this time. I think more of the spoils here should be distributed to our 119th Division. I'll take a loss, so I'll just take 7%."

He Daming was instantly amused when he heard Xu Shijie's shameless words.

"Commander Xu, what you said is a bit unfair. Our 120th Division has suffered heavy losses. I think the % should be given to us."

Xu Shijie was completely dumbfounded when he heard this. He felt that he was thick-skinned enough, and that He Daming was even thicker than him. Just when he wanted to continue arguing.

He Daming spoke first.

"Captain Xu, let's not argue about the spoils. Half is fair to everyone. Don't wait for the 118th Division to come. You will only be happy if everyone gets %."

He Daming's words immediately blocked Xu Shijie's next words. He was not a fool, so he had no choice but to accept the proposal.

In fact, relatively speaking, He Daming made a profit. After all, they were just a surprise force in the siege of Bainiu Heights, so the losses were relatively small, while Xu Shijie suffered heavy losses.

However, as a commander of a division, it is understandable for He Daming to fight for benefits for his subordinates, and he does not think there is anything wrong with what he did.

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

In the Battle of Bainiu Mountain, the 40th Army of the Volunteer Army annihilated more than 6000 enemy troops, captured more than 1000, seized 5 tanks and more than 120 artillery pieces of various types.

For completing the mission of this autumn counterattack, the 119th and 120th Divisions were commended and praised by the Volunteer Headquarters, and were awarded the second-class collective merit once.

In particular, He Daming of the 120th Division who proposed the combat plan was commended by the entire army.

While the 40th Army was still cheering and enjoying the joy brought by victory.

When Matthew Lee, commander-in-chief of the US Joint Forces, learned that the important strategic location of Paekniu Mountain south of Seoul had been attacked by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, he was furious.

You must know that losing Baekniu Mountain means that Gangwon Province, an important passage north of Seoul, will be completely in front of the Volunteer Army.

At this time, the Volunteer Army could use Bainiu Mountain as a springboard to launch an attack on Seoul, which was not what he wanted to see.

To this end, Matthew Li Qiwei immediately contacted the commander of the US 8th Army, General Van Fleet, by phone.

"Commander Fan, my good fellow apprentice, you know the news that Bainiu Mountain has fallen."

Van Fleet on the other end of the phone: "Commander Matthew, I already know about it. I will find a way to remedy the situation."

Matthew Li Qiwei seemed to be dissatisfied with his lovely junior's words, and immediately rebuked him in a deep voice: "Remedy? What remedy are you going to use? Continue to send heavy troops to retake Bainiu Mountain? Are you an idiot? Do you know how easy it is to defend Bainiu Mountain and how difficult it is to attack?"

Van Fleet on the other end of the phone remained calm in the face of the repeated scolding from the commander-in-chief Matthew, and then he stated his combat intentions.

"Commander-in-chief, you misunderstood. I have never thought of continuing to make a fuss on Bainiu Mountain, although Bainiu Mountain is a strategic location in Gangwon Province and a place that must be fought for by military strategists.

But now it has fallen into the hands of the Volunteer Army, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a pipe dream for our army to send a large number of troops to retake Bainiu Mountain, so we can only accept this reality.

My new idea at the moment is that since the Volunteer Army can penetrate directly into my heartland, why can't my United Nations Army do the opposite?

After thinking about it for some time, I found that in order to reverse the disadvantage of Bainiu Mountain, I only need to attack a place called Shangganling located between Xifang Mountain and Wusheng Mountain.

As long as we take this place, our army can use it as a springboard to threaten the Volunteer Army in the "38th Line" area to make up for the loss of the strategic location of Bainiu Mountain. "

After hearing the combat plan proposed by Van Fleet, Matthew Lee, commander-in-chief of the US Joint Forces, directly adopted it, approved the operation, and gave the combat plan a nice name.

Operation Showdown

At this time, the 15th Army was located in the Wusheng Mountain and Xifang Mountain area, and its commander was Qin Wei.

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

At this time, the temporary command post of the 40th Army of the Volunteer Army located on Bainiu Heights was holding a post-war summary meeting.

The meeting was chaired by Army Commander Wen Cheng.

“Everyone, this time our 40th Army performed very well, especially the 119th and 120th Divisions, which completed the assault mission assigned by the headquarters.

Let our 40th Army continue to maintain its title of ever-victorious army. In addition, I would like to especially praise the commander of our 120th Division, He. If it were not for the careful and detailed combat plan he proposed, we would not have been able to complete this combat mission so smoothly and quickly. Let us all applaud him. "

As soon as the commander Wen Cheng finished speaking, everyone began to applaud...

He Daming waved his hand.

"Commander, everyone, what are you doing? This is my job.

Besides, what's the point of just me giving advice? We need a wise and powerful leader like our commander to lead us. Otherwise, if we encounter someone so stubborn and self-willed, no matter how many opinions we give, it will be useless."

Army commander Wen Cheng was quite pleased with He Daming's flattery.

"Okay, Master He, you don't have to be so modest.

The order our army has received so far is to temporarily rest in Bainiu Mountain and build defensive fortifications. As for the next combat order, we will have to wait until the end of this autumn counterattack and see what the Zhisi says.

In addition, currently on the right side of our army is the 15th Army located in Xifang Mountain. They are fighting with the South Korean 2nd Division. Our army can also provide appropriate support. "

When He Daming heard Wen Cheng mention the words Xifang Mountain and the 15th Army, the dusty history instantly came to his mind.
