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

At this point in the battle, the defeat of the Allied Forces was inevitable.

For Li Qiwei, it was a complete failure.

They assembled the strength of six divisions, but in the end they didn't even get to see what the enemy's main position looked like.

They didn’t even capture two small hills!

Li Qiwei's face turned pale and he sat down again.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking too much, so it is better to think about how to stop the loss.

If they continue to fight, and if they can win, the coalition forces can still save their face.

But the question is, can they defeat the Dragon Kingdom army?

There were a total of six divisions, two of which collectively jumped ship, one division suffered more than half of its troops killed or wounded, leaving only its elite troops, and one division was almost completely wiped out.

Of the only two remaining divisions, the assets of the 1st Division of the Southern Dynasty were washed away by the flood, and the 9th Division of the Mi Army could not be transferred from Jinhua, otherwise there would be a risk of being ambushed by the enemy.

By this calculation, the Allied Forces lost nearly two-thirds of their troops.

"Shangganling..."

Li Qiwei felt unwilling in his heart.

He could not imagine why that small village of less than four square kilometers was so difficult to attack.

Of course, this is not quite accurate.

In fact, they didn't even know which way the gate of Shangganling faced.

Just like that, the "Showdown Operation" that Li Qiwei had high hopes for ended abruptly before it even began.

When Bai Gong learned about this, he immediately called and reprimanded him.

"Ridgway, what on earth have you done? Not only has the situation not improved, it's getting worse!"

General Du Lu vented all his anger on Ridgway.

During this period, his situation was also not very good.

At home, public support for him began to plummet.

More and more people believe that the great Eastern power should not be provoked.

Congress even bluntly stated: Dragon Country is a country that will not be defeated.

This country has experienced decades of war but has never surrendered. Instead, it has stood up again with its indomitable spirit.

How can you expect to defeat such an opponent?

At the same time, Truman's political opponents began to use this as an attack on him.

These people claimed that because of Trudeau's wrong decision, the Eagle Sauce had a new formidable opponent.

Moreover, because of the Peninsula War, Longguo will once again stand at the top of the world.

Let me ask you, is there any better way to amaze other countries than to defeat the Eagle Sauce head-on?

"The rise of the Dragon Nation can no longer be stopped!"

In Congress, Ai Weihao slammed the table and said.

In order to stop the awakening of this terrible Eastern lion, the Eagle Sauce took a series of measures at the beginning of its founding.

But now, all of this will be greatly reduced.

The reason is the defeat on the peninsula battlefield!

"We haven't lost yet, and the war is far from over!"

Truman knew very well that the outcome of the battlefield on the peninsula would determine whether his political career could continue.

Therefore, he will never admit his failure.

Ridgway felt the same pressure Truman was under.

In fact, he felt bad too.

Ridgway believed that he had done everything he could. He was not as arrogant as MacArthur. He carefully studied the combat methods of the Dragon Army and proposed advanced combat methods such as worship tactics and magnetic tactics.

As it turned out, he did cause a lot of trouble to our army, and even forced our army into a desperate situation at one point.

Even so, Ridgway found that he could never defeat the Dragon Kingdom.

At that time, Longguo won four battles relying only on millet and rifles.

Today, they have weapons aided by the Soviet Union, and have also seized a large number of equipment from the United Nations. Their combat power is no longer comparable to what it was before.

What’s even more terrifying is that after these battles, Ridgway discovered a terrible fact.

Among the enemies, a rather formidable opponent emerged.

This person is extremely radical, yet very steady.

Since entering North Korea, he has been present in every battle.

Every time he participated in a battle, he turned the tide of the war.

Moreover, this person also formed an armored division according to the US military structure.

"What is this person's name?"

Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling a little curious.

He suddenly wanted to know who he was fighting against.

Later, Ridgway called Custer again.

"Castor, how is the situation going?"

Custer replied respectfully: "General, please rest assured that the culprit who caused the failure of Shangganling has been found!"

Li Qiwei nodded with satisfaction, "Caster, I have always believed in your ability, don't let me down!"

After hanging up the phone, Ridgway looked at the battle map again.

What will the coalition forces do next?

......

the other side.

As the Allied Forces retreated one after another, the Battle of Shangganling ushered in its final victory.

In this battle, our army wiped out more than 5600 enemy troops, which was not too many.

But when it comes to prisoners, there are too many of them.

The South Korean 2nd Division, the South Korean 6th Division, and the remaining soldiers of the 24th Division of the Mi, together, number nearly people!

Looking around the world, it is quite rare to capture so many soldiers at one time.

In addition, our army also seized a large number of heavy weapons, including dozens of M24 Chaffee light tanks, ten M26 Pershing heavy tanks, hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers, and countless supplies.

At the same time, this battle also produced a large number of combat heroes and combat groups.

The 118th Division participated in many battles and completed its tasks excellently, which to a great extent ensured the victory of the Shangganling Battle.

The special forces battalion where Li Jicheng was located was awarded the first-class collective merit, and Li Jicheng was awarded the first-class individual merit.

The artillery battalion where He Yuzhu was located also made outstanding contributions and was awarded the first-class collective merit, and He Yuzhu was awarded the first-class individual merit.

As for Li Xiangyang, he was highly praised by the Zhisi for his meritorious service in commanding the battle.

Without him, Hill 597.9 and Nanshan Hill in Zhuzidong could not be recaptured, and there would be no subsequent bombing of the reservoir, which would buy a lot of time for our army and lead to the 2nd Division of the South turning to the light...

It can be said that it was because of his command that all the things that happened later happened.

It is precisely because of this that there were disagreements on how to reward Li Xiangyang.

Some people think that it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Xiangyang made the greatest contribution in this battle, and he should be stripped of his deputy title and promoted to commander of the 118th Division.

But some people also think that Li Xiangyang is only 19 years old this year, and it would be too conspicuous for him to be a division commander.

"Deputy Commander Deng, what do you mean? With Li Xiangyang's contributions, doesn't he deserve to be the division commander?"

Deputy Commander Han questioned.

"Old Han, when did I ever say such a thing?"

Deputy Commander Deng frowned and said, "I feel that Li Xiangyang is still young and lacks experience. If he becomes a division commander, it is hard to guarantee that he will not arouse the jealousy of others."

"Everything in the army is determined by combat performance. If anyone is dissatisfied, let him compete with Li Xiangyang. If he is still not convinced, come to me!"

Deputy Commander Han said, slapping the table.
