    It was the first time for Zhang Yi to receive a task directly sent from the headquarters of the 72nd Army. However, he did not expect that he and the 643rd Regiment would accidentally become the leader of the Anzhou battlefield.  The key is that in the telegram, Liu Xinghua called the 643rd Regiment the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. He had very clearly requested that their regiment must hold fast to Eagle Peak and not let go of any enemy soldiers coming from the east. As long as  If they stay until noon, they will be considered successful in completing their mission.

    After getting this battle order, Cao Shuang let out a long breath. In any case, the 643rd Regiment no longer had to suffer from running around. Now this Eagle Peak is an excellent blocking position, right here.  Take the time to prepare, so that the enemy retreating from the direction of Kaichuan can be blocked on the road.

    Although Cao Shuang was very excited and felt that he had finally seized the opportunity to fight, Zhang Yi was still a little worried.  He had already inspected the Eagle Peak with Dong Jie, Cao Shuang and several staff officers. This peak was said to be a peak, but it was actually not very high. It was only three to four hundred meters above sea level at most. It was just a small mountain beside the highway.  There is a mound that pops out suddenly, but this half-stone and half-earth mound has a very important geographical location. The road at the foot of the mountain, which the United Nations troops regard as a lifeline, goes around this hill, from northeast to southwest.  It almost makes a circle around this small mountain peak, and then leads to Anzhou from the south of this mountain peak. Across this road, to the north is the Qingchuan River that has not been completely frozen. Standing on the mountain, you can see the river.  There was a thin layer of ice, shining brightly under the rising sun.

    "If you want to spread out the whole group from such a small mountain bag, it will definitely not work!" Zhang Yi looked at it and said to himself.

    Cao Shuang on the side nodded. He still had some experience in fighting this kind of blocking battle. He looked at the road two hundred meters below from the top of the mountain, then looked at the other side of the mountain, and suggested: "I think we can  Divide the hill into positions. In the front position closer to the road, send two companies to line up and wait for the enemy to approach to block them so that they cannot pass the road; then in the middle of the mountain behind,  Set up another position so that we can take over the firepower of the front position. Once the forward position is lost, we will not have nowhere to defend."

    Zhang Yi nodded and said: "Okay, then I will follow your suggestion!" He said, thought for a while, and then said: "I think this way, let the first battalion send two companies to guard the position below, and the second battalion will  The battalion sends two companies to build a mid-mountain position!"

    Cao Shuang and Dong Jie also agreed.

    Soon, the tasks were assigned, and each battalion and company became busy. Except for the combat companies of the first and second battalions, the other companies served as reserve teams, ready to replace the companies in front at any time.

    Seeing the soldiers digging trenches one by one and carrying stones enthusiastically, Zhang Yi left the temporary regiment headquarters located on a hill behind the mountain. He was still a little worried, so he came to the foot of the mountain.  On the preset position, here, the commander of the first battalion, Xia Yang, was leading three companies to dig defensive trenches.  At a glance, Zhang Yi saw Zhang Xian, who was waving a shovel and working with the soldiers, and couldn't help shouting: "Yu De Shui!"

    Zhang Xian raised his head, handed the shovel in his hand to a soldier beside him, clapped his hand, and came to Zhang Yi. After all, he was the regiment leader, so he still saluted.

    Zhang Yi waved his hand in return, looked over his shoulder at the soldiers behind him, and asked with concern: "How is it? Are you sure?"

    Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment. As the leader of a regiment, Zhang Yi asked him this, which obviously had two meanings. The first was to ask whether he was sure about leading the first company to fight this battle successfully;  But he was asking him about this battle and whether this arrangement was reasonable or not.

    Looking at his brother's doubtful eyes, it was clear that he was relying on him. Thinking about how his younger brother Zhang Yi has been growing since he became the leader of this regiment, he has also been able to use his body and soul during training and fighting.  He takes responsibility and does it himself, but he is still far behind in arranging troops and making plans. Think about it, if Zhang Yi hadn't forcibly transferred him to the 643rd Regiment, he really wouldn't have known about his younger brother.  Can this group leader still be able to remain in office?  At that moment, Zhang Xian smiled, but shook his head.

    Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and asked with some confusion: "What? Is there something wrong?"

    Zhang Xian did not answer immediately, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "There is nothing wrong, but our battle today may be a disaster for the 643rd Regiment!"

    Zhang Yi was startled again, frowned, and asked quickly: "Why did you say that?"

    Zhang XianThe commander-in-chief came to greet him in person, but at this time, on the battlefield on the western front of Korea, fighting was still going on in many places. Although there were victories and losses, overall, it was gloomy.  At this time, not only Lieutenant General Walker in the Eighth Army, but also General MacArthur in Japan had to realize the failure of their "Christmas Offensive". General MacArthur personally ordered the United Nations forces to retreat and give up.  In the area north of the Chongchon River to Hamhung line, the troops on the Western Front retreated towards Pyongyang, while the troops on the Eastern Front retreated towards Hungnam Port.  From the looks of it, and according to General MacArthur's temperament, after this defeat, the United Nations forces may have to retreat to the area south of the 38th parallel.

    However, when Paul saw Commander Kurt, he was a little strange at first and asked him: "General, why are you still staying in Anzhou and not retreating south?"

    Kurt said: "The 25th Division hasn't come here yet, which is very worrying!"

    Paul's brows wrinkled: "Commander Keen is well-informed. I think he can lead the 25th Division to avert danger. I think everyone should evacuate as soon as possible. If you stay here for one more day, the danger will increase."  One day, don¡¯t forget, there are enemies coming from the north and northwest with great force. Once they cross the Chongchuan River again, we won¡¯t be able to run away even if we want to!¡±

    Commander Kurt and Chief of Staff Sean nodded together. They understood what Paul said, but the safety of the 25th Division was also very important. Sean said: "If we leave Anzhou at this time,  The 25th Division is very likely to be surrounded by the enemy and become an isolated army. By then, they will not even have the troops to support them, and that will really be a disaster!"

    Paul thought for a moment and felt that Sean's words made sense. After thinking about it for a while, he suggested: "I think we can leave one regiment here as a cushion first, and then the other troops leave Anzhou quickly. I think  , the 25th Division will be able to arrive in Anzhou this morning, there is really no need for us to wait here, sometimes, waiting for someone is like waiting to die!"

    Kurt and Sean looked at each other, Sean nodded, but Kurt still hesitated.

    Paul got a little impatient and volunteered: "General, if you are worried, I can stay with that regiment. If the 25th Division really gets into trouble, we can also have a backup. What do you think?"  "

    Kurt thought for a moment and finally nodded, agreeing.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
