Walker had advised Mike more than once.

Tell him to pay attention to China's opinions, not to get too close to the Yalu River, and not to fly planes across the border.

But Mike is arrogant and doesn't take China seriously at all.

He thought that China was still the same as the previous Kuomintang government and could only agree to their demands with a humble attitude.

They didn't even dare to protest.

When he learned that the Chinese had entered North Korea, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and wanted to withdraw the troops in front.

At that time, Mike didn't listen to him at all and insisted on continuing the attack.

Things have come to this point, and Mike has started to shift the blame to others.

This made Walker look down on him.

“Now that the battle on the Western Front is over, I think we should also withdraw the troops on the Eastern Front.

Now that we know the Chinese will be involved in this battle, our plans should be re-formulated.

Previous strategies used against the North Koreans should no longer be used.”

Walker had seen the combat effectiveness of the Volunteer Army. Despite the threat of so much heavy firepower, they were still able to annihilate two US divisions.

Now on the eastern front there are the 7st, 3th and rd Marine Divisions of the US Army.

He was afraid that the Chinese army would encircle and annihilate these three divisions. If that happened, the United States would suffer heavy losses.

You know, at that time the US Army had only 10 Marine divisions.

Two have already been annihilated. If three more are annihilated, half of the US Marine Corps’ strength will be wiped out.

However, even though the US 1st Cavalry Division was completely annihilated, they would not tell the outside world.

He said that the troops had suffered heavy losses and were resting.

In fact, it is about speeding up reconstruction. Although the organization is still the same, the people have been completely replaced.

Mike felt embarrassed when he saw Walker starting to persuade him to retreat again.

He didn't retreat before, so he won't retreat now.

"How many troops can the Chinese enter North Korea? They can defeat two of my divisions on the western front, can they defeat three of my divisions on the eastern front?

Besides, the main reason for the failure on the Western Front was not the Chinese participation in the war, but those South Koreans.

If those divisions had not rebelled, how could our retreat have been cut off?

If it weren't for us, these South Koreans who are traitors would have been shot long ago.

Now you dare to plot against us, damn it."

What Mike hates most now is South Korea.

In his opinion, his decision would not be wrong.

It must be someone else's fault.

He couldn't blame his opponents, nor could he blame Walker.

After much thought, there are only those few divisions in that gang.

"Marshal, those divisions have been completely defeated. According to our investigation, the person who persuaded them to surrender was named He Daqing.

This man led the South Korean division and achieved impressive results in the battle with the US 2nd Division.

These newly surrendered South Korean troops showed amazing fighting spirit.

Before surrendering, these people ran away when they saw the volunteers, but after surrendering, they fought to the death and launched several desperate charges.

It's like two different armies.

In the later stages, their combat capabilities also improved rapidly.

Often, only one or two hundred people were enough to hold a position, causing the Second Division’s many attacks to fail.”

Walker had a clear view of this battle.

They were surrounded and annihilated by the Volunteer Army.

However, he really didn't understand the operations of the 6,7,8th, th and th divisions of South Korea.

He didn't understand why these three divisions surrendered directly.

According to the investigation results, these people were captured by He Daqing, and then the entire army surrendered.

No resistance at all.

Under normal circumstances, even if the three division commanders wanted to surrender, the battalion commanders and regiment commanders under them would not agree so easily.

In addition, the combat effectiveness before and after surrender underwent a drastic change.

Before surrendering, they were at most a weak troop.

You can only fight when the wind is favorable, and you will immediately become useless when you encounter a tough opponent.

But what happens after surrender?

Not only can we march quickly and capture Shunchuan.

They were also able to withstand the attack of the US 2nd Division in Sukchon.

Even though the troops had been basically wiped out, their fighting spirit had not collapsed.

These soldiers even became braver and more powerful as they fought.

"He Daqing? Who is this person?"

When Mike heard the name, it sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where it was.

At this time, the United States did not understand the situation in China.

He felt that the name was familiar, mainly because he had heard it in Japan.

The name He Daqing is not a household name in Japan.

But most of Japan's senior military officers knew about it.

After all, 70% of Japan's senior officers who died on the Chinese battlefield died at the hands of He Daqing.

Although Mike had heard of it before, he didn't remember it, so he just felt familiar with it, but didn't know who it was.

As for Walker, he had never heard of him.

"It is said that he is a Chinese division commander. As for more specific information, we don't have it yet."

"Then put him aside for now, and investigate why the South Korean army was so powerful after it switched sides."

The lessons Mike learned from this battle are simple.

Friendly betrayal.

If his allies hadn't betrayed him, he wouldn't have lost so badly.

So, he took out all his anger on that gang of soldiers.

The South Korean army would originally be sent to more important places for defense.

But after this incident, they began to be wary of the South Korean army.

The supply of materials to the South Korean army was also greatly restricted.

In the past, there was not much difference between them and the US military in terms of clothing, food, and light weapons.

Now the US military only provides them with some rifles, and as for other things, they give as little as possible.

Just as the U.S. military was summarizing the reasons for the failure of the Western Front campaign, the two sides on the Eastern Front had already begun initial contact.

Originally, there was only one army, the 42nd Army, on the Eastern Front, but the U.S. military deployed three divisions on the Eastern Front, as well as a number of South Korean vassal troops.

The troop strength on the eastern front was obviously insufficient, so the commander-in-chief urgently transferred the 9th Corps, which was still resting in Jilin, to North Korea.

After receiving the order, the Ninth Corps checked the supplies entering North Korea and found that the military uniforms were wrong.

They were still wearing southern winter clothes, and they couldn't stay outside for long periods of time in the Northeast.

What's more, we have to fight in Korea.

At this time, the entire Northeast Military Region began to mobilize military uniforms.

Fortunately, the winter clothes provided by the Qing Dynasty prevented the 9th Corps from entering the Korean battlefield wearing southern winter clothes.

He Daqing was not clear about these things.

What makes him most uncomfortable now is that the soldiers under his command are being targeted by others.

Because He Daqing's troops had achieved excellent results, the fat man took a fancy to the thousand men under He Daqing.

"You mean, all of He Daqing's men are elite?"

"Yes, I have talked to those soldiers and have also competed with them. These soldiers are indeed the best of the best.

Whether it is shooting or fighting, he is very strong."

The fat man touched his bald chin.

"You said that these soldiers are all Koreans and should be under my command, right?"
