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

Upon learning that Li Xiangyang had returned, the commander of the 15th Army, Qin Wei, came out to greet him in person.

"Deputy Commander Li, your 118th Division is really quick!"

Qin Wei laughed loudly. The news of the great victory on Triangle Mountain Heights had already been passed back to the command post.

Everyone was excited and praised the 118th Division.

Among them, the deputy commander also proposed to allocate two battalions of troops to guard the 587.7 high ground and the Zhuzidong South Mountain position.

With these two bridgeheads, the pressure in the rear will be much less.

"Commander Qin, I have something important to report to you."

Li Xiangyang said in a deep voice.

"Come on, let's talk inside!"

When Qin Wei saw his serious expression, he knew something had happened.

After entering the command post, he first poured a cup of tea for Li Xiangyang, and then asked, "What happened?"

Li Xiangyang expressed his guess.

"Captain Qin, we have disrupted the enemy's plan. It will take at least two days to redeploy their firepower. I suggest that we take advantage of this time to abandon our original position and build a reverse slope tunnel!"

Hearing this, Qin Wei's brows knitted into a "川" shape.

But he didn't say anything, but fell into hesitation.

Seeing this, Li Xiangyang said anxiously: "Commander Qin, time is running out, we must hurry up!"

On the way back, he had already figured out the terrain around Shangganling.

There was almost no cover within a few kilometers except for a few isolated bushes.

In this situation, it would be extremely difficult to withstand the enemy's incendiary bombs and artillery shells.

Not to mention, the enemy has already taken control of our army's fortifications.

"Deputy Division Commander Li, our deputy commander Jiang believes that we can use Jiang 597.7 Heights and Zhuzidong South Mountain as bridgeheads to stop the enemy..."

Qin Wei was interrupted by Li Xiangyang before he could finish his words.

"Commander Qin, the enemy is determined to take these two places and will definitely seize them at all costs. The Sanjiao Mountain Plateau is too far away from Wusheng Mountain. If all the comrades in these two places are killed, what should we do? Continue to send people to fight for them?"

Li Xiangyang shook his head. "This will only continue to weaken our army's strength. It is better to concentrate our forces and defend Shangganling!"

"But these fortifications were built by our army over several days. Isn't it a pity to just abandon them?"

Qin Wei looked at Li Xiangyang, "Besides, the war is imminent. If our army builds temporary fortifications, wouldn't we be completely powerless to fight back if the enemy arrives?"

"Commander Qin!"

Li Xiangyang couldn't help but say: "No matter how well the fortifications are built, if they can't stop the enemy's shells, it will be useless!"

"How do you know you can't stop it if you haven't tried it?"

Qin Wei was somewhat dissatisfied. He felt that Li Xiangyang's words showed his lack of trust in the 15th Army.

"What are you trying to do? The lives of the soldiers?!"

Li Xiangyang couldn't help but raise his voice a few notches.

"Deputy Commander Li!"

Qin Wei's face turned cold, and he said in a bad tone: "The 15th Army is not a group of child soldiers who have never fought in a war. We have fought in the War of Liberation and have also taken on tough tasks!"

"Commander Qin, I have no doubt about the intentions of the 15th Army."

Li Xiangyang knew he was too impulsive, so he quickly changed his words, "Shangganling is of great importance, and the enemy will definitely fight for it with all their strength. I just want the soldiers to sacrifice less."

Hearing this, Qin Wei's expression eased a lot, and his tone softened, "Deputy Division Commander Li, I know you mean well, but changing positions temporarily is time-consuming and laborious, and it is too dangerous!"

In fact, he also felt a little uneasy.

After all, this was the first time that the 15th Army had a head-on confrontation with the US Army since entering North Korea.

Li Xiangyang saw his hesitation and immediately came up with a plan.

"Captain Qin, I actually experienced a battle like this not long ago."

Qin Wei was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized: "You are talking about the Tieyuan blocking battle! I have heard about your performance, you are worthy of being a combat hero!"

Li Xiangyang sighed: "The real heroes have all stayed there forever, I am nothing..."

Then he recounted how inhumane Van Fleet was and how he bombed our positions.

Qin Wei's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he asked quickly, "Are the Americans so crazy?"

He never imagined that the Americans would be so shameless, even insane.

"That's right. Their usual fighting style is to bombard the ground with artillery shells, leaving our troops no chance to catch their breath."

Li Xiangyang said while the iron was hot.

Qin Wei frowned, looking worried.

He couldn't help but start to worry: Can his own fortifications really withstand the bombing of the US military?

Seeing this, Li Xiangyang knew that he had achieved his goal.

He did not urge Qin Wei, but waited quietly by the side.

half an hour-

"Deputy Commander Li, what is this reverse slope tunnel you mentioned?"

Qin Wei couldn't help but ask.

Li Xiangyang drew the construction method of the reverse slope tunnel.

"Good idea!"

After Qin Wei saw it, he first praised it repeatedly, and then asked worriedly: "What should we do if we encounter an enemy attack during the construction of fortifications?"

"Captain Qin, how many days do you think it will take to build the reverse slope tunnel?"

Li Xiangyang asked.

"Three days!"

"it is good!"

Li Xiangyang said in a deep voice: "I will try my best to buy three days for you and the 15th Army!"

"Deputy Commander Li..."

Qin Wei was somewhat moved. He didn't expect that Li Xiangyang would be willing to take on such a difficult task.

It was clear that just now, the two of them had an argument.

"Commander Qin, everything is for victory."

Li Xiangyang smiled at him, his face full of sincerity and frankness.

Qin Wei was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say, "No, we can't let your division alone carry out such a dangerous mission."

He quickly walked to the phone and dialed the number of the 44th Division.

"Xiang Yongzhi, I order you to assist the comrades of the 118th Division and obey the command of Deputy Division Commander Li in all actions!"

Xiang Yongzhi felt somewhat dissatisfied when he heard that he had to obey the orders of a deputy division commander.

But he heard the seriousness in Qin Wei's tone and had to obey the order, "Yes!"

"Deputy Division Commander Li, the 44th Division is the most well-equipped division in our division. I hand this trump card over to you."

After Qin Wei hung up the phone, he looked at Li Xiangyang again.

"Thank you, Commander Qin!"

Li Xiangyang saluted.

"You are here to help our 15th Army. If anyone is to thank you, it should be me who should thank you."

Qin Wei smiled and said, "After this battle, if we are both still alive, I will personally prepare a feast for you to apologize!"

As he said this, he stretched out his hand towards Li Xiangyang.

Li Xiangyang stretched out his hand without hesitation and shook hands with him firmly.
