Refuse to join the Wansui Army, I will build an ace division

At the same time, in Dipingli.

Paul, the commander of the 2rd Regiment of the 23nd Division of the Mi, was anxiously waiting for the arrival of Byers, the commander of the 10th Army of the Mi.

There was continuous artillery fire from Hengcheng next door, and the Southern Dynasty troops were howling like ghosts, which frightened him so much that he could hardly sleep.

Now the 2nd Mi Division and the 8th South Korean Division are both in defeat, and the entire front line is moving backwards.

Just last night, he received some bad news.

A total of 2 people in an artillery battalion of the 532nd Division of the Mi were killed.

Paul really didn't know what the point of continuing to stay here was.

He was very doubtful whether he could hold out if the Dragon Kingdom army attacked his small position at this time.

Not only him, but everyone on the battlefield is very nervous.

Everyone is praying to God to get out of here as soon as possible.

But two days passed and there was still no movement around.

Moreover, even the sound of gunfire could no longer be heard.

"Could it be that the Dragon Nation's army has forgotten about me and has already arrived in the south?"

Just when Paul was overjoyed, the scout brought back bad news.

"The Dragon Nation has assembled a large number of troops in the east, west, and north!"

Paul suddenly looked as pale as death, and found himself all alone and surrounded.

It would be idiotic not to retreat.

He immediately decided to leave today, and even Jesus couldn't stop him!

"I hope the guy with the grenade around his neck didn't forget himself..."

Paul thought to himself.

At noon, a plane landed in the low plain.

The visitor was none other than the commander of the 10th Mi Army, Byers.

"General!"

Paul was very excited to see Biles. The superiors had not forgotten their 23rd Regiment!

"Take me to the headquarters!"

Byers exclaimed.

Soon, the two arrived at the temporary command center.

Biles immediately called Li Qiwei.

"Damn the South Korean army! If they hadn't been so focused on running away, the 2nd Division wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses!"

As soon as he came on stage, Byers started complaining to Li Qiwei, and his words were full of anger towards the 8th Division of the Southern Dynasty.

After hearing this, Li Qiwei also felt angry and his teeth were itching.

These South Koreans are really hopeless!

Providing them with equipment is tantamount to aiding the enemy.

Any weapons, once given to them, would inexplicably appear in the hands of the Dragon Country army in a short time.

By then, the Longguo army would use the US military's equipment to inflict heavy damage on US soldiers.

After hanging up the phone, Biles turned to Paul and said, "You can retreat!"

After saying this, without waiting for Paul to react, he got on the plane and left.

Seeing this, Paul was dumbfounded.

This run is too decisive!

Soon, he came to his senses: Even his own general had run away, so why shouldn't he run away? !

Just as Paul was preparing to retreat, he suddenly received an order that made him collapse - "No retreat, hold on to Dipingli!"

Moreover, it was Li Qiwei who gave him the order personally.

"If you dare to withdraw from Dipingli, I will withdraw you first!"

It has to be said that Li Qiwei should not be underestimated. He clearly understands that his "Thunder Operation" has not completely failed.

Even though the Dragon Kingdom army recaptured Hengcheng, it did not mean that their predicament was resolved.

If Dipingli is abandoned again, the right wing of the Mi-9 Army on the western front will be completely exposed. Once Longguo launches an attack, the entire coalition army will collapse.

Therefore, he ordered to defend Dipingli to the death and continued to send reinforcements to Dipingli.

Under Li Qiwei's threats and promises, Paul could only accept the order in grief and anger.

He then began to deploy his battle plan.

Dipingli is surrounded by mountains on all sides and is located in a small basin with a diameter of about 5 kilometers. The 23rd Mi-rd Regiment only has one Fa Guo battalion, three infantry battalions, one artillery battalion, and one tank company, totaling people.

Paul first drew a circle with a diameter of 1.6 kilometers and stuffed all his troops into it to form a circular defense line.

Then he ordered his soldiers to pour water into ice to build a position to block the Chinese infantry's charge.

Over the next half day, helicopters brought in 10 days' worth of food and mountains of ammunition.

In this way, Paul finally felt a little more confident.

Because of the severe shortage of manpower, Paul deployed most of his troops on the front line, leaving only one company in the regiment and one platoon in each battalion.

Time soon came to 13 pm on the 3th, less than an hour before the scheduled combat time.

But at this moment, Xu Guofu received bad news.

The artillery regiment of the 42nd Army suffered heavy losses due to bombing by the US Army because its horses were frightened and exposed, and was unable to participate in the battle.

To make matters worse, half an hour later, the 125th Regiment of the 375th Division also lost contact.

As our army's communication facilities were extremely backward, Xu Guofu couldn't even call out the names of the commanders of the participating regiments, let alone contact each other.

Before the battle even started, our side had lost two regiments of troops, one of which was the most critical artillery regiment.

Xu Guofu reported it immediately, but due to communication problems, he did not receive a reply from the Zhisi.

Just when he was at a loss, the scout brought good news.

"Report to the division commander, the 354th Regiment is here!"

Suddenly, Xu Guofu was extremely surprised.

As a member of the 40th Army, he certainly knew how strong the 354th Regiment was.

Under such circumstances, the arrival of the 354th Regiment is undoubtedly a powerful shot in the arm.

Soon, Liu Dacheng and Li Xiangyang came in front of Xu Guofu.

"Captain Liu, Deputy Captain Li."

Xu Guofu shook hands with the two men and said excitedly: "Your group is really a timely help!"

He then recounted what had happened to the artillery regiment and the 375th Regiment.

After hearing this, Li Xiangyang took a breath.

It’s really a failure!

"It's a good thing you guys are here!"

Xu Guofu was filled with emotion, "Otherwise, I really don't know how to fight this battle."

Li Xiangyang smiled bitterly, "Commander Xu, even if we join our regiment, I'm afraid we won't be able to capture Dipingli!"

Then he expressed his own conclusion.

After listening to this, Xu Guofu's brows wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character, "What should I do?"

"Commander Xu, I think we should change our thinking."

Li Xiangyang said, "Since we can't take Dipingli, why not use this place as bait?"

"You mean to surround but not attack?"

Xu Guofu had fought in wars for most of his life, so he understood immediately.

"That's right!"

Li Xiangyang smiled. "Given the importance of Dipingli, the enemy will definitely send reinforcements. Instead of chasing them like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is better to lure them here!"

"Attack where the enemy must be rescued, only then can you achieve miraculous results!"
