    Wang Dahu is a little anxious. Of the two combat regiments of the 215th Division, only one of the 645th Regiment can still be used. The other 644th Regiment was transferred to Yangdeyuan by Commander Xiong Zhuoran during the counterattack in Hengcheng.  The operations there to assist the 216th Division were still twenty kilometers away from Tuipingli. It was already impossible to reach Tuipingli on time.

    In any case, the other two regiments of the 215th Division finally arrived at the Longmen Temple area north of Touping-ri within the specified time. In fact, they only captured this area after repelling part of the United Nations defenders.  Now Wang Dahu has placed the division command post of the 215th Division directly at Longmen Temple, which is only twenty miles away from Dipingli. The smoke from the mountain basin can be seen from a distance.

    The 215th Division was the first unit to arrive in the Tuipingli area and the only division-level unit to arrive here, so it was natural that the Volunteer Army's Eastern Front Army Command handed over the command here to Wang Dahu without hesitation.  According to the instructions from his superiors, Wang Dahu knew that five to six regiments from other armies and divisions would arrive one after another. It was the first time that he was asked to command so many troops. Although he was very excited, he also felt a sense of pain on his shoulders.  Under the pressure of carrying a heavy burden, he knew very well that the capture of Tuopingli was the turning point of this counterattack. If Tuopingli was captured, the battle that had lasted for almost a month would quickly turn into a counterattack.  in; if he cannot win this tiny territory, then he will be Ma Su who comes out of Qishan, which will put all the Volunteer Army units into a very passive endgame.

    However, it is not an easy task to really command the battle.  First of all, the communication is not smooth at all. Several regiments may be on the march, and the radio remains silent. Even the telegrams sent out are like nothing. What's more, these regiments belong to other armies and other armies.  It was difficult to contact the division directly. In desperation, Wang Dahu sent more than a dozen correspondents, but they were like clouds that blew away without a trace. By noon, only one correspondent came back to tell him that on February 1  The 640th Regiment of the Fourth Division was galloping from the east and was almost there; but there was still no news about the other troops.  Secondly, the situation of the opponent was not yet clear. Although Xiong Zhuoran clearly told Wang Dahu via telegram that there was at most only one enemy battalion in Diping, during the capture of Longmen Temple, the commander of the first battalion, Yu  De Shui learned from the prisoners' mouths that this was not the case. Now they only knew that it was definitely not an enemy battalion, and how many troops there were had yet to be reconnoitred by the first battalion.  Wang Dahu still knew very well that if he did not understand the enemy's true strength and launched an attack so blindly, it would be easier if there were not many enemies, but if there were many enemies, he would probably hit a wall.  So now he can only wait patiently.  Finally, there was another headache that caused him more trouble. It turned out that Commander Xiong Zhuoran promised to transfer the only artillery regiment in the 72nd Army to him, but he was a little unlucky. During the march, the artillery regiment  , a horse was frightened and immediately exposed the entire unit, so it was naturally bombed by enemy aircraft. The enemy dispatched many aircraft. In less than an hour, the artillery regiment suffered serious losses and it was impossible to follow the instructions.  The original plan arrived here in time. If they really wanted to launch an attack, there would be no artillery cover at all and they could only rely on the soldiers to charge fearlessly - and this was exactly what he wanted to see least!

    When Wang Dahu was at a loss, Xiong Zhuoran's wireless phone was finally connected. As soon as he spoke, Commander Xiong asked impatiently: "Dahu, when are you going to take Dipingli?"

    Wang Dahu guessed that Commander Xiong was on the phone at this time. He thought for a moment and told him: "Commander, we have just arrived at the scheduled location and are urgently contacting other troops. We just need to wait for all the regiments to arrive."  You can launch an attack!"

    Xiong Zhuoran was silent for a moment, and then said immediately: "We can't wait! Time is victory! If other regiments cannot arrive on the battlefield within the scheduled time, you must launch an attack immediately. You must capture Dipingli before dawn tomorrow!  "

    Wang Dahu was stunned and could only say: "Now I only have the 645th Regiment and the 643rd Regiment. As you know, the 643rd Regiment actually only has one and a half battalions; it is estimated that the 640th Regiment of the 214th Division  The regiment can reach its position before dark, and the other troops have not been contacted yet!"

    "You can fight with two regiments!" Xiong Zhuoran interrupted him decisively: "The enemy only has one battalion, and even if there are some miscellaneous logistics troops, it is enough for you to fight with two regiments!"

    "No!" Wang Dahu quickly explained to him: "According to the confessions of the prisoners we captured, there is definitely not just one enemy battalion in Diping, there are probably more than this!"

    ?On the land, the northeast is a highland of 212 meters, and the highland to the east is also 202 meters.  This kind of terrain is indeed a good place to fight defensive battles. Although the depth is slightly narrow, it is enough for a large group.

    Looking at the map marked by Richardson's pencil circles, Paul listened carefully to his introduction: "I divided our four battalions into high hills on all four sides in order to occupy the necessary commanding heights, so that we can effectively capture the enemy.  Keep it out of Dipingli!" Richardson said proudly, pointing to the circled position on the map, and continued: "The tanks of our regiment will guard the main intersections to prevent the Chinese from taking advantage of the opportunity! Here is our  The artillery position is located in the middle of the entire position, so that fire support can be provided from all directions at any time!"

    Listening to Richardson¡¯s introduction, Paul¡¯s brows furrowed even more. It wasn¡¯t until he finished that he asked: ¡°Captain Richardson, how many troops do you have?¡±

    Richardson was stunned for a moment, then said: "There are 5,400 people in total!"

    "How can it be possible for a mere five thousand people to defend a perimeter of at least 18 kilometers?" Paul asked him.

    Richardson looked at Paul with some confusion and asked: "Does your Excellency mean that it's not okay?" Obviously, he was a little dissatisfied with this colonel who was actually his equal, and thought Paul was finding fault with him.

    Paul smiled bitterly, shook his head and told him: "This is too big. If we were a division, we could consider it this way!"

    "Do you want me to spread my troops on all sides without any gaps?" Richardson couldn't help shouting.

    "Yes! That's it!" Paul affirmed and explained at the same time: "Don't forget, we are fighting the Chinese. What these Chinese are best at is fighting at night, and they are very good at sneaking in and out. If we  If there are gaps in our defensive positions, it will cause trouble for our own rear! Don¡¯t forget the losses we suffered before! This is how they fought against Suminli!"

    When Paul said this, Richardson fell silent. In fact, he had suffered this kind of loss before.  However, for a moment, he couldn't think of how to deal with it, and couldn't help but ask: "So, according to your wishes, is it for us to shrink our defense line?"

    Paul nodded solemnly and agreed: "Yes! Just shrink the defense line!" He said, took out a pencil from the side, and drew a small circle around Dipingli.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
