Siheyuan: Married a female spy at the beginning of 1944

"Follow my orders. If anyone asks, say that Sunchon was massacred by the North Koreans. Now Sunchon is full of North Korean soldiers."

Walker had no choice but to follow orders.

At the same time, the volunteer army on the north bank of the Qingchuan River had also launched an attack.

Although there was a huge difference in firepower, the support troops had the advantage in terms of numbers and terrain.

Although it is possible to win, it is still very difficult to wipe out the enemy completely.

The US 2nd Cavalry Division tried several times but failed to cross the river.

After receiving supplies from Kaesong, the 39th Division of the 112th Army completely blocked the river.

Not only were ships upstream and downstream unable to cross the river, but even ships dozens of kilometers upstream and downstream that tried to cross the river would be hit by artillery fire.

Behind the 112th Division, the 113th Division was engaged in a fierce battle with the US nd Division.

At this time, the US Second Division also learned that Shunchuan had fallen behind them.

The commander of the US Second Division was stunned.

I was fighting well in the front, but why did I lose in the back? Can you hold on?

When he learned that there were nearly 2 people behind him, he was almost scared to death.

There are 20,000 people in front and 20,000 people behind. How can he fight?

What’s even more terrifying is that the equipment of these 40,000 people is almost the same as that of the US military.

"Request support and tell the marshal that we have been surrounded and may be annihilated at any time."

However, he had sent out several requests for support, but the support still hadn’t arrived.

However, several supplies were airdropped.

He Daqing rested for a day and set off for Suchuan that evening.

Although I rested during the day, I didn’t get enough rest.

Planes overhead were bombing continuously.

The entire Shunchuan was bombed to pieces.

Civilian casualties were extremely severe, but military casualties were moderate.

The military knows how to dodge artillery shells and how to find suitable cover.

As for the civilians, they were running around when they were bombed, resulting in even greater casualties.

When Zhai Yu saw such intensive aerial bombardment, his confidence in defending Shunchuan dropped instantly.

"Captain He, if the enemy has this much firepower, can you still take Suchuan?"

"No."

"Ok?"

“My primary purpose in going to Sukchon was not to annihilate the garrison there, but to prevent the American troops on the other side from crossing the river.

Therefore, I will not attack Suchuan with all my strength, I will only cut off his connection with Qingchuan River."

He Daqing estimated that he still had more than 9000 South Korean soldiers under his command.

If he gave a death order, at least 8000 people would sacrifice their lives.

"Then do you have any comments on Shunchuan's defense?"

Zhai Yu also wanted to ask He Daqing's opinion.

He had fought few battles to defend the city, let alone a defensive battle with such dense artillery fire, so he was really unsure.

He Daqing thought about it and realized that if the US military used the current amount of artillery shells, both hilltops could be flattened by several meters.

It is almost impossible to defend a city on a plain.

The most important thing is that this city is not made of reinforced concrete.

In this era, many cities have mud-brick houses, and some better ones have brick-brick houses.

These things can't stop the artillery shells at all.

As long as they were willing to use artillery shells, a small city could be completely destroyed in one day.

Zhai Yu actually had his own ideas, but he just wanted to see if He Daqing would agree with him.

"I think we can vacate the city. Our goal is to cut off reinforcements from Pyongyang.

We don't necessarily have to defend the city, we can find a suitable mountain road to block the attack.

I think the mountain road to the north of Shunchuan is good. That place is relatively narrow. As long as we block the enemy on the mountains on both sides of the road, we can prevent the enemy from reinforcing.

Moreover, the mountains are more suitable for concealment, making it difficult for US aircraft to find their targets.

Even if we find the target, it’s easier to hide.”

He Daqing knew that most of the battles between the Volunteer Army and the US Army were mountain battles.

"Haha, that's what I thought. Since you think so too, I can rest assured to give up Shunchuan."

After the two made an appointment, He Daqing set off with his soldiers.

But these South Korean soldiers are much more troublesome than the volunteer army.

During the night march, these people's loyalty actually decreased.

He Daqing now understood that the cheats given by the system were not invincible.

We can only temporarily influence these people's decisions, but we still cannot control their thoughts.

If you want an iron army, you still need to look for it from your own army.

"Captain He, the brothers are too tired. Can we take a break? It's too dark now. It's really not suitable for marching."

Just after they walked out for about ten miles, Jin Zhongwu and several other regiment commanders came over and said they were having difficulties.

"Walk another 5 miles, and then rest after 5 miles. By the way, tell them that there are no American troops in Sukchon, and they can do whatever they want in the city."

He Daqing had no choice but to lead a group of bandits.

We can only temporarily follow the wishes of these people.

As a result, after walking four miles, these people began to look for places to rest in groups of three or four.

The next day, after breakfast, He Daqing led the soldiers on their journey again.

It was not until the afternoon that He Daqing arrived at Suchuan with this group of trash.

It was not until this moment that the entire encirclement was truly completed.

When the news of He Daqing's arrival in Suchuan reached the command center, the commander-in-chief looked at the telegram and couldn't help laughing.

"Hahaha. It's done. This time we're not only going to wipe out South Korea's four divisions, we're also going to wipe out three American divisions and one British brigade.

Tell the 39th, 40th, and 66th Armies to attack with all their might and not to be stingy with their artillery shells.

At all costs, I must swallow up this group of American soldiers."

The commander-in-chief's order reached the front line, and the front line launched a more fierce attack.

However, due to their relatively weak firepower, even if they did not spare any artillery shells, the firepower of the Volunteer Army was far inferior to that of the US Army.

Even though the US troops were surrounded, they used airdrops.

With airdrops, there is no need to worry about essential supplies such as ammunition, food, and fuel.

You can continue to resist.

In just one day of attack, the volunteer army suffered nearly 5000 casualties.

However, the results achieved are also very gratifying.

The 1st Cavalry Division, the US Army's ace unit, was completely annihilated.

After the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division was annihilated, the U.S. military's support became even more intense.

Zhai Yuyi of the 114th Division could only fight while retreating and could not hold his position at all.

Fortunately, He Daqing left them a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition.

They can also continue to block the US troops on the narrow mountain roads.

But the only thing to be happy about is that their casualties were not great.

The casualties of the entire 39th Army were not heavy.

After they met He Daqing, the entire army's equipment and material reserves were improved to a higher level.

And in Kaesong, there are 4000 North Korean soldiers to command.

"Marshal, we have been fighting for two days and have only advanced 3 kilometers from Sunchon to Gunuri. If we continue at this speed, we will not be able to rescue the soldiers on the other side of the Cheongcheon River in time."
