Hamhung, 10th Army Headquarters,

Lieutenant General Almond's face was as gloomy as water.

Standing beside him were the Chief of Staff, Major General Rachna, and the Commander of the 7th Division, Major General Robert.

Rachna said with the telegram in his hand,

"General Almond, Smith has sent a telegram for the third time requesting a retreat. The Chinese Volunteer Army launched a fierce attack on Yudam-ni. They demonstrated powerful firepower at Changjin Lake. In my opinion, the 1st Marine Division is too far forward. We should let them withdraw first!"

Almond roared.

"Enough! The battle has just begun and Smith is already thinking about escaping. He has brought shame upon the American soldiers!"

"General, the 1st Marine Division has lost all of its outer heights in Yudam-ni, and the two howitzer battalions have also been attacked by air strikes. Today, the naval aviation reported that they lost a total of 53 aircraft, the most in a single day since the war began! The situation is now very serious!"

"So what? Have the Chinese already gained air superiority? I don't think so. The two sides are still fighting fiercely, and the 1st Marine Division hasn't lost many people. If we retreat now, it will mean a complete failure of the operation on the Eastern Front!" Almond roared angrily!

There was a knock on the door,

An officer brought a telegram.

He handed it over with a panicked look on his face.

"Major Nick sent a telegram from the community warehouse, saying that all the members of the 3th Regiment of the 7rd Division have been killed in the battle!"

Major General Robert's face suddenly changed.

"Oh my God, what is going on? What happened in the community warehouse?"

Rahna looked solemn and said strangely,

"Whatever happened, why didn't they report it?"

Almond's heart began to sink. He had a bad feeling.

"There was a fierce battle in Shecang, so where did the volunteers go? Did they come to Hamhung?"

There were hurried footsteps, and another officer came in. Before he entered the door, he shouted loudly,

"The 1st Marine Division reports that the Volunteer Army has launched a full-scale attack, a full-scale attack!"

Several people were shocked, but they regained their composure in an instant. What was supposed to come finally came!

Almond said,

"Send a telegram to Smith, asking him to hold out against the offensive at night. The air force will tear the Volunteer Army to pieces tomorrow!"

Before he finished speaking, another officer ran in and shouted again,

"General, Wulaoli is under a frenzied attack by the Volunteer Army. Colonel Korodi, the commander of the 65th Regiment, requests urgent support!"

At this point, the people in the room could no longer sit still. Wulao-ri was only 13 kilometers away from Hamhung, and it was the only passage for the 1st Marine Division to retreat from Changjin Lake!

Almond suddenly realized that the Volunteer Army was planning to attack the enemy at the door and wipe out all the troops of the 1st Marine Division and the 7th Division of the US Army in the Changjin area!

"Oh my God, inform Smith to fight and retreat at the same time, and concentrate the troops in Hagaru-ri. As soon as day breaks, I will arrange to support their retreat! Robert, you must immediately arrange to reinforce Wulao-ri, we must not lose that place! That is our only retreat route!"

"Yes, sir!" Robert said.

Boom boom boom, violent explosions suddenly sounded.

The sound came from the north of Hamhung, where Robert's 3rd Division and the 15th Regiment were stationed! It was also the largest garrison in Hamhung. To reinforce Wulaoli, we had to rely on the 15th Regiment!

His face turned pale immediately.

"I have to go back and have a look, it's been a horrible night!"

The explosions didn't stop at all, but became more and more violent! They seemed to be getting closer and closer!

"Commander, let's go to the basement quickly!" Rahna said nervously!

Almond didn't say anything, but picked up his briefcase. His face was pale and the corners of his mouth were trembling slightly due to nervousness!

He just walked out of the office building.

With a bang,

A shell landed beside him.

Almond fell down with several officers!

"Ding! It is detected that the master has killed the commander of the Tenth Army, Almond. The reward is a dump truck production line!"

Yin Xinjun breathed a sigh of relief. The outcome of the war on the eastern front was basically decided!

He ran towards a large factory building in front.

After some cleaning and killing about fifty defenders,

Yin Xinjun, holding a flashlight, was overjoyed.

It turns out that this is a large military warehouse.

The workshop was filled with a large number of combat vehicles, including tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, and jeeps, of all kinds, more than two hundred in total!

In another workshop, there were various light and heavy weapons, ammunition, clothes, and even medicines!

He put them all into the space without hesitation. Along the way from the Western Front to the Eastern Front, he seized enough American equipment to equip an entire division!

Afterwards, Yin Xinjun continued to kill towards the place where the American soldiers made the most noise! ​​Tonight is the night of massacre!

Hagaru-ri,

Dongshan,

The highest point is 1071 Heights,

Looking down from the high ground at Hagaru-ri below the mountain, the U.S. military's circular position was ablaze with flames and a mess everywhere.

Just now, the 20th Army concentrated its artillery and bombarded this place for 30 minutes!

In a foxhole on Hill 1071, soldier Wan Xianzhi was adjusting the radio beacon in his hand and nervously shouted into the walkie-talkie,

“6-13号信标已就位,目标在信标西边1200米处!”完先志是空军地勤部队的地空联络员,派驻到20军58师专门负责协调地空配合!

He is now positioning the radio beacon for the air force! Accurately mark the location of Hagaru-ri!

On the high ground, there was still a cloud of smoke.

A fierce battle had just taken place on the high ground here. Soldiers from the 172st Battalion of the 1nd Regiment of the Volunteer Army, who had captured the U.S. military position, were resting on the position.

Tonight, as the 27th Division of the 79th Army launched a fierce attack on Yudam-ni, the 20th Army simultaneously began to attack the US military positions around Hagaru-ri, with the 59th Division responsible for attacking Deokdong Pass and the 58th Division responsible for attacking Dongsan Heights.

Twenty minutes later, two P20 fighters roared across the night sky, the pioneers of tonight's operation.

Two loud noises were heard in the air—two air-dropped flares exploded above the U.S. military camp in Hagaru-ri, instantly illuminating the entire area.

In the dazzling light, the U.S. military positions were completely exposed: tents, vehicles, artillery positions, and even the silhouettes of soldiers were clearly visible. The U.S. soldiers ran in panic, and anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns began to fire wildly into the air, trying to find the location of the fighter plane.

However, the P51 fighter had already gained altitude and disappeared into the night sky.

Two minutes later, 18 B24 heavy bombers roared in. With the help of radar, radio beacons, and flares, the bombers easily locked onto the ground targets!

Bombs swarmed out from the belly of the plane.

They fell like meteors and exploded in the American camp. With the violent explosion, huge balls of fire rose into the sky, and the blazing flames instantly engulfed everything. The flames shot up into the sky, and the thick smoke and flames instantly engulfed the entire position. People, tents, vehicles, and weapons were all burning!

The flames greedily licked every corner, and in the sea of ​​fire, the screams of American soldiers rose one after another. Many soldiers were engulfed by the flames while running, and some even jumped into the nearby river with their comrades in arms to try to put out the fire, but the cold river water could not extinguish the flames on their bodies.

Under the light of the fire, the bodies of American soldiers were lying in all directions on the battlefield, and some were even burned to the point where only skeletons were left. The air was filled with a pungent smell of burning and thick smoke, and the entire Hagaru-ri seemed to have turned into a hell.

Yin Xinjun personally reported and requested instructions for the airstrike on Hagaru-ri tonight, because he knew that there were two divisional command posts of the 1st Marine Division and the 7th Division of the US Army here. In addition to a large number of soldiers, tanks, and artillery, there was also an airport. The US military's long snake formation, and Hagaru-ri was the weak spot of the snake, and it must be dealt a fatal blow!

After coordination, the 27th Corps Command ordered the 20th Army and the 60th Division of the 20th Army to attack Liutanli and Chunxingli, while the 58th Division and the 59th Division of the th Army divided and surrounded Hagaru-ri, encircling but not attacking!

The final fatal blow was left to the Air Force to carry out!

When B24 had just left,

under night,

More than 60 pirate fighters took off from the aircraft carrier and rushed over frantically! Unfortunately, the volunteer bomber group had already returned. They couldn't find any targets at night, so they randomly fired at the surrounding hills and had to return in disappointment!
