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

With the end of the Battle of Watergate Bridge, our Army's Ninth Corps successfully won victory on the Eastern Front.

The battle was won, but it was a truly pyrrhic victory.

Although Li Xiangyang changed the fate of the Ice Sculpture Company, his impact on the entire war was still too insignificant.

Most of the soldiers of the 9th Corps were from the Southern Army. Due to the hasty march and the complex terrain of North Korea, transportation was inconvenient. Most of them were wearing thin autumn clothes and were unable to withstand the extreme weather of minus 30 to 40 degrees Celsius.

Many people did not die under the enemy's guns, but were frozen to death.

When the main force of the 1081th Corps arrived at Hill , there were only more than people.

In this situation, it is obviously impossible to continue fighting.

Therefore, the Ninth Corps had no choice but to rest in place and was unable to continue to participate in the next large-scale battle.

After seeing this scene, Captain Zhang was more convinced of what Li Xiangyang said before.

"Captain Li, you really have a long-term vision!"

Now, everyone in the Third Battalion speaks highly of Li Xiangyang, especially Battalion Commander Zhang. As soon as the battle was over, he reported Li Xiangyang's deeds in detail to his superiors.

In this way, Li Xiangyang's name was once again heard by Zhisi.

"This guy named Li Xiangyang is really a talented person!"

Zhisi gave high praise to Li Xiangyang, saying that killing a division-level enemy was the first time since entering North Korea.

This is especially valuable since he is the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States.

"Nearly half of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States suffered casualties, and the division commander was also killed. This is really gratifying!"

The commander became happier as he spoke. "I'm afraid MacArthur's face would turn green when he heard this news!"

"Commander, the commander of the 20th Army said that they are short of manpower and want to keep Li Xiangyang."

Deputy Commander Deng said with a smile.

The previous battles were enough to prove Li Xiangyang's outstanding personal ability, and this battle of Hill 1081 further highlighted his command ability.

Such talents will be sought after wherever they go.

The commander smiled and looked at Deputy Commander Han, "Old Han, do you agree?"

Upon hearing this, Deputy Commander Han immediately refused to do it. "The 20th Army is short of men, so they want to take them from our 40th Army. How can this be justified?"

He was the old commander of the 40th Army, so naturally he was reluctant to give up such a good talent.

"Look, it's not that I don't agree, it's that Old Han is reluctant to let him go!"

The commander laughed.

Deputy Commander Han immediately called Commander Wen, "Old Wen, Li Xiangyang from the 354th Regiment has brought honor to our 40th Army again!"

"Such a good seedling must be kept in our army!"

When Commander Wen heard this, he immediately understood what Deputy Commander Han meant.

He immediately called Deng Yue and said, "Deng Yue, your division's Li Xiangyang was praised by our Army Commander Han!"

Deng Yue was confused. Didn’t Li Xiangyang go to the western front to deliver supplies?

"Commander, what did Li Xiangyang do again?"

Deng Yue asked.

Commander Wen then recounted Li Xiangyang's outstanding performance on the Western Front.

Deng Yue was both angry and amused when he heard this. This Li Xiangyang really causes trouble wherever he goes!

He could have delivered supplies and sent himself to the front line, but he ended up killing the enemy's division commander!

The commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the US Army is of the same rank as himself.

Such an achievement would make even myself jealous.

"Deng Yue, after retaking Pingrang, it's time for you to move up!"

Commander Wen laughed.

Deng Yue's thoughts moved and some more ideas came to his mind.

After hanging up the phone, he called Chu Chuanyu again, "Chu Chuanyu, come to the division headquarters."

After the battle, the soldiers of the third battalion were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield.

They stripped the enemies' cotton coats and gave them to the soldiers who came later.

Afterwards, they plundered a large amount of food and ammunition, greatly improving the combat capability of the troops.

Most of these new soldiers had not had a proper meal for three or four days. Now that they had food, they ate with relish and expressed their delight.

"This battle is so difficult!"

Battalion Commander Zhang came up to Li Xiangyang and handed him a cigarette.

The two men sat down in the makeshift marching tent and warmed themselves around the fire.

"The commander just gave the order for the entire army to rest for half a month."

Battalion Commander Zhang smiled bitterly.

"That's a good thing."

Li Xiangyang nodded, "This means that there will be no more fighting in the short term."

Good news came in from all fronts, and the Dragon Kingdom's army won victories everywhere.

As the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States suffered a disastrous defeat, the North Korean People's Army, which was resting in the rear, also joined the battle.

They sent out the 1st, 2nd and 13th Corps to assist the th Corps of the Dragon Kingdom to jointly pursue the remaining coalition forces.

Now, the situation has completely reversed.

The Allied Forces were defeated step by step and did not dare to engage in a head-on confrontation with our army, so they could only flee southward.

On December 12, the Wenjing Peninsula was successfully recovered, and then the North Korean People's Army also recovered Yuansan, Jiaping, Chuncheon and other places.

Faced with such a predicament, MacArthur was completely helpless and could only order the US troops on the eastern front to quickly withdraw to the south of the Cheongcheon River.

At the same time, Baigong also received information that the Allied Forces had been defeated.

Truman called MacArthur angrily, but received a perfunctory response from him.

"I am a professional soldier. I understand war better than you do!"

Faced with the arrogant MacArthur, the Baigong side had no choice but to make concessions.

They knew very well that they could not do anything to MacArthur.

Of course, this is not without its benefits.

If the war is lost, all the responsibility will fall on MacArthur alone.

MacArthur was not completely unaware of this.

However, he was like a gambler who had lost his temper and stubbornly believed that he had not lost yet.

Although the Thanksgiving operation plan failed, MacArthur still firmly believed that he still had a chance to turn the tables.

"Captain Li, it's time for you to go back, right?"

Battalion Commander Zhang asked.

Li Xiangyang nodded, "Once the tank is full of gasoline, we will set off."

When mentioning this, Captain Zhang lamented, "These damn Americans, they knew they couldn't take the cars with them, so they blew them all up!"

"Thousands of cars were wasted!"

Looking at the distressed Captain Zhang, Li Xiangyang couldn't help but laugh and said, "If they don't blow it up, will they leave it to us?"

"Why not?!"

Battalion Commander Zhang looked as if it was a matter of course.

"Driving their cars and beating up their people, it feels so good just thinking about it!"

Li Xiangyang laughed out loud. This Captain Zhang was quite a funny guy.

"Captain Zhang, I don't know when we will meet again after today's farewell."

Li Xiangyang took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to him, "This was seized from the foreign devils."

Captain Zhang's eyes lit up and he quickly took it.

But after taking two puffs, he immediately showed an expression of disgust.

"The foreign devils' guns are okay, but what about these cigarettes?"

Captain Zhang curled his lips and said, "No energy at all, just a bitch. It's far from what we can do!"

He looked at Li Xiangyang and said, "Captain Li, I smoked a pack of your cigarettes today. When I seize the enemy's alcohol in the future, I will definitely treat you to a few drinks!"

"A word is settled!"
