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

The reason why the Battle of Shangganling is famous throughout the world is that from the beginning to the end, even today, this battle was a battle that my country was bound to lose.

But it was such a battle that was doomed to fail, but the outcome was changed by our soldiers with their lives.

After learning that Bailong Mountain was captured by our army, Zhisi immediately shifted its strategic focus to the Iron Triangle area.

They knew very well that the Allied Forces had suffered such a huge loss, and given the character of that old fox Li Qiwei, he would never let it go.

Therefore, the Shangganling area, with its relatively special geographical location, has become the top priority.

It can be said that in this battle both the enemy and us are playing with open cards, and the competition is about who is tougher and who is more ruthless.

Whoever fears death loses!

After receiving the order, the 12th and 15th Armies successively dispatched 9 infantry regiments and 11 artillery battalions to the Shangganling area, vowing to defend this position of less than 4.5 square kilometers at all costs.

After learning about our army's situation, the newly appointed Eighth Army Commander Custer also deployed more than 60,000 troops.

An unprecedented battle is about to begin.

On the march, Li Jicheng saw that Li Xiangyang was worried, so he comforted him: "Deputy Division Commander, don't worry. Since last summer, our Long Country has not lost a battle, and this battle will definitely be the same!"

Although Li Xiangyang was in a very heavy mood, he still forced a smile.

As deputy division commander, he must show a positive side no matter what the situation.

If even he looks gloomy, the morale of the army will be greatly disrupted.

However, whenever he thought of the Battle of Shangganling in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel the pressure doubled.

This is a real battle to the death, a ruthless meat grinder.

Looking at the young faces of the soldiers, Li Xiangyang took a deep breath.

He didn't know how many people would survive this battle.

But as a soldier, you must be prepared to make sacrifices.

No matter what, he would fight alongside his soldiers.

......

On the afternoon of the 9th, Li Xiangyang led the 118th Division to successfully arrive at the 15th Army's temporary command post.

"Deputy Commander Li, you are finally here!"

Army commander Qin Wei extended his hand enthusiastically.

After Li Xiangyang shook hands with him, he asked directly, "Commander Qin, what is the current situation?"

Qin Wei said in a deep voice: "A regiment of the 2nd Division of the Southern Dynasty has captured the southern mountain of Zhuzidong and formed a flanking posture on the east side of our position. According to intelligence, they have deployed a large number of artillery and are ready to launch an attack on our army at any time."

Li Xiangyang frowned slightly, the enemy was really fast.

"In addition, the Mi-9 Division also sent a regiment to the west of the position and launched multiple attacks on Hill 597.7, also deploying a large number of artillery pieces."

Qin Wei's expression was somewhat solemn. "Deputy Division Commander Li, the enemy's intention is very clear. They are going to use artillery to wipe out the enemy!"

Li Xiangyang nodded. This was consistent with the joint forces' usual style.

"Deputy Commander Li, what do you think?"

Qin Wei looked at him.

He had heard of the name of Deputy Division Commander Li of the 40th Army a long time ago and knew that he was very capable, so he wanted to hear his opinion.

"Captain Qin, I don't think we can just sit there and wait for death."

Li Xiangyang said in a deep voice.

"You want to take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launch a counterattack?"

Qin Wei frowned, "Deputy Division Commander Li, the enemy's firepower is strong. If our troops leave our positions and lose the cover of our fortifications, our losses will only increase!"

"General Qin, your men must hold their ground. Shangganling is a matter of great importance and cannot afford to lose."

Li Xiangyang explained: "What I mean is that the task of attacking the enemy is given to our division."

"how do you want to do it?"

Li Xiangyang walked to the battle map, picked up a wooden stick and pointed at the area around Shangganling. "This place is formed by the intersection of two mountain ridges. The terrain is complicated and the enemy must divide its forces to defend it."

"Instead of waiting for them to gather more troops and set up their cannons to attack us, it's better to kill them first!"

Li Xiangyang is confident enough about this plan.

The complex terrain means that baggage and equipment are difficult to transport.

If the enemy wants to transport the artillery up there, they will have to spend a lot of manpower and material resources.

Moreover, they had to allocate more troops to guard these artillery pieces.

This actually gave us an opportunity.

"Deputy Commander Li, how sure are you?"

Qin Wei looked at Li Xiangyang.

"Six points."

Li Xiangyang replied.

"Six points..."

Qin Wei frowned.

"If we don't take into account the seized materials, then it's 90% certain."

Li Xiangyang added.

Qin Wei's frown suddenly relaxed and he laughed, "It doesn't matter. We can't use it, so don't leave it for the enemy!"

He patted Li Xiangyang on the shoulder and said, "Deputy Division Commander Li, I have long heard that your division has outstanding combat capabilities. Today I am fortunate to see it in person."

"I will send two battalions of troops to cooperate with your operation."

Hearing this, Li Xiangyang was somewhat moved.

Obviously, the other side was worried that something might happen to me, so they sent out two battalions to assist me despite their limited manpower.

"Commander Qin, the 118th Division guarantees to complete the mission!"

Li Xiangyang saluted him.

After returning to the 118th Division, he began to assign tasks.

"Zhu Zi, lead two battalions to Hill 597.7 to reinforce the 45th Regiment of the 135th Division. Remember, make a big noise."

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement.

Li Xiangyang looked at Li Jicheng again, "Chengzi, you and the special forces battalion will come with me to attack the 2nd Division of the Southern Dynasty at the southern mountain of Zhuzidong."

"Deputy division commander, you should stay at the division headquarters and command the battle."

Li Jicheng persuaded: "You stay here, we all have our backbone, there is no need to put yourself in danger!"

"Yes, Deputy Commander, the battlefield is too dangerous!"

Chen Yourong also said this.

Looking at the soldiers with worried faces, Li Xiangyang smiled.

"Danger? Why are you fighting a ball fight if you're afraid of danger?"

"I have never been afraid of death since the first day I went to the battlefield!"

"Besides, I'm not that brat He Yuzhu. I can be where I am today because of the gun in my hand, not luck!"

After hearing this, everyone remembered how exaggerated their deputy commander was.

This is a special combat hero who fought his way out from the enemy's crowd!

He Yuzhu was originally excited by Li Xiangyang's words, but after hearing the latter part, he said with a sad face: "Deputy Commander, if you want to praise yourself, just praise yourself, why do you have to insult me!"

"Why are you still being mean? You're lucky, don't we all know that?!"

Li Xiangyang looked at him with amusement, then patted his shoulder and said, "Keep up your good luck and command the artillery battalion well. Do you hear me?"

"Yes!"

He Yuzhu said loudly.
