    Paul was not at all proud at this moment, but instead became more and more nervous.

    The situation after dawn did not seem to be as bad as he feared. On the contrary, their counterattacks to the northwest in the direction of Mashan were often successful. Perhaps in another hour, Captain Richardson would call from Mashan to tell him  He reported that Mashan had been captured.  This should be good news for him, but he was still worried about the upcoming battle at night.

    Although the 23rd Regiment was still surrounded by the Chinese on all sides at this time, the most terrifying thing was that their south side originally maintained a single line of communication with the rear, but it was also cut off by the Chinese last night.  Wangmei Mountain has also become the forward position of the 23rd Regiment at this time. They are actually completely surrounded by the Chinese. In this area of ??less than ten square kilometers, nearly 6,000 of them are densely deployed.  There are so many people, and so much equipment and artillery. If the enemy really has a large number of artillery and carries out intensive attacks, then I am afraid that the 23rd Regiment will lose more than half of its personnel.  Fortunately, the Chinese do not have such great strength, which is the external reason why they can remain unmoving in the storm.

    The personnel sent out for reconnaissance have returned from all around and reported to Paul the situation outside Tipingli at this time.  The Chinese did not retreat, but hid themselves, and still surrounded Tuipingli tightly from all sides. This illustrates a problem, that is, the Chinese were not preparing to retreat. They were obviously waiting for darkness to come down and prepare.  To launch another attack, they must win this Toping-ri.  However, after dark, their attack this time will probably be much more violent than last night. In the battle last night, from his perspective, as a defender, the Chinese attack was not in place. After a whole night of fighting,  It was only the north and west that were a little tight, but there were no battles in other directions.  Thinking about it, Paul really regrets it. If he had known that the result last night would be like that, he might as well have transferred the idle troops from the direction where there was no fighting and used them all to block the enemy face to face. It might have been over long ago.  Fighting.  However, people don't have front and rear eyesight, so no one can guess how the opponent will fight.  However, one thing Paul is sure of is that tonight's battle will be very fierce. His opponent has been prepared from all four directions. This is like a mountain of pressure for him.  The atmosphere outside was so tense that he could hardly breathe.

    General Li Qiwei personally called and asked about the situation in Dipingli. Paul knew that Dipingli at this time had become an urgent hope in the commander's mind.

    "Colonel Paul, you fought very well last night! You shattered the Chinese people's dream!" Straight to the point, the little old man praised him.

    Paul is a little helpless. What he needs most at this time is not praise from his immediate boss, but real support.  "General, it may be difficult to get through tonight. The enemy has deployed a lot of troops around Dipingli. They must capture this place!"

    "Yes!" Li Qiwei also agreed, but he still ordered very decisively: "Colonel Paul, no matter how difficult it is on your side, you must defend Tuipingli. As long as we defend it, we will  We can counterattack across the board and complete our attack target!¡±

    "I know!" Paul replied. In fact, General Ridgway didn't need to remind him of this.

    "Do you still have any difficulties there?" The general finally asked a practical question.

    "No other questions!" Paul answered, but then added: "I want to know when our reinforcements will arrive?"

    "Reinforcements from all walks of life are already rushing to your side!" General Li Qiwei continued in order to eliminate the doubts in his mind: "The Thirty-eighth Regiment of the Second Division was blocked on the road and was at war with the enemy, but we  The fifth regiment has been ordered to move towards you quickly, and the fifth regiment has been ordered to rush into Dipingli no matter what size of resistance it encounters, even if it only involves one tank!"

    Hearing such decisive words from his superior, Paul relaxed a little bit of his nervousness.  The fifth regiment was the regiment headed by Hoffman. Paul knew this regiment commander quite well and knew that he was a commander who could resolutely complete the orders of his superiors without compromise.  shrink from difficulties.  Although he knew exactly what kind of person Hoffman was, Paul couldn't help but ask: "General, when will they arrive?"

    Li Qiwei was silent for a moment. Although the order had been issued, there were always many unexpected problems during the execution of the order. As for when the fifth regiment could arrive at Dipingp; Zhang Xian smiled and said with great certainty: "Don't worry, there aren't many enemies up there. The troops they are attacking Mashan are from this position."

    Xiong Sanwa couldn't help but open her eyes wide, as if she didn't believe it, and asked: "How do you know so well?"

    "Haha, actually you can think of it after just thinking about it!" Zhang Xian explained to him: "Last night we attacked them from the north and west, while the attacks from the east and south were weaker, and the attack from the east was in the middle of the night.  A troop came over from Jinwang Mountain and fought for only a short while; but there was not much sound of gunfire from the south last night, but there was fighting going on more than ten miles away to the south, which was ours.  The troops forcibly crossed over and encountered the enemy's reinforcements, resulting in a blocking battle. After dawn, the enemy thought that we did not dare to attack them again, so they boldly attacked us!" Zhang Xian said and asked again  He: "Tell me, if you were their commander, what part of your troops would you use to attack?"

    "South!" Xiong Sanwa blurted out.

    Zhang Xian nodded and continued: "Actually, the enemy commander is very smart. The mountains to the south are the highest around Tuipingli and the easiest to defend. In addition, their reinforcements also come from this direction.  Push up here, listen, there is still fighting going on to the south of us. It must be our troops blocking the enemy's advance here. In order to prevent their reinforcements from coming, we will definitely go all out, so they will too  They think that in this broad daylight, their south side is the safest! Their military strength is also limited, so it is reasonable to dispatch the defense troops from the south to attack Mashan!"

    Xiong Sanwa suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly.

    Zhang Xian added: "In order to make sure that my judgment is correct, I just made another observation on the side of Mashan. From that location, I can see some of the positions to the west and north of Tuiping. There are no positions in those two positions.  What changes? Their tanks and chariots are still guarding the periphery of the position. There are also tanks patrolling back and forth at the junction. The more the figures shake, you can also tell how much their troop strength has changed. There are basically no changes in the two positions.  , similar to what I saw during the day yesterday, which also means that they did not deploy troops to the west and north."

    "What about the east side?" Xiong Sanwa asked casually.

    "East?" Zhang Xian smiled, shook his head, and said, "Move troops from the east to attack Mashan in the northwest. Haha, the distance is a bit far, and it's not as convenient as the south. Besides, we still have ours in the east.  A troop is watching eagerly. If there is any problem, it will be much slower to withdraw troops from the direction of Mashan. Even in broad daylight, they will not take this risk!"

    "Oh!" Xiong Sanwa finally understood. He believed that Zhang Xian's judgment was correct, and he had never doubted his judgment. This time, it must be the same in his opinion.

    Zhang Xian looked at it and saw that it was almost time, so he ordered everyone to get ready. The battle was about to begin!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
