    Paul was injured and was hit in the arm by a bullet flying from the opposite direction. He gritted his teeth and ignored the risk of becoming disabled if not treated in time. He asked a soldier next to him to bandage the wound in a hurry.  As if nothing was wrong, he continued to hold his position, but his left arm was already hanging down and he could not lift it up.

    "Colonel, why don't you go and take a rest?" The company commander couldn't help but said to Paul when he saw that he was injured.

    Paul shook his head: "I'm just a little injured, I'm still far from death!" As he said that, he still stubbornly guarded the last position. At this time, he simply forgot about his pain.

    Seeing the Chinese soldiers who were still surging like a tide on the opposite side, they retreated back to Wangmei Mountain. What was left in front of them were corpses on the ground. Some of the people who could still move were struggling to escape, but instead they exposed themselves.  Became the target of being shot by Americans.  Finally, the sound of gunfire gradually became sparse. Although the sound of gunfire outside Dipingli did not weaken at all, under the illumination of the flares, there was already deathly silence outside the roadbed. This showed that the Chinese had finally retreated.  This wave of attacks was successfully defeated by them.

    The night was slowly fading. Paul turned his head and saw the white fish belly appeared in the eastern sky. He couldn't help but let out a long breath. In half an hour at most, the sky would be bright. This night was the most difficult.  The time of suffering can finally pass. After dawn, their planes can fly over in groups unscrupulously and resume daytime air strikes.  He believed that under the dual attack of air and ground, these Chinese would not be able to launch a decent attack like they did the night just past.

    The last machine gun on the position also stopped roaring. Only then did Paul feel that his arm was in great pain as if it had fallen off. Through the light of the morning light, he saw that the place where his left arm had been bandaged just now was again.  Blood gushed out, and his clothes were stained red without even realizing it.

    "Colonel, the enemy has retreated, you should go and take a rest first!" The company commander came over again and comforted him.

    Paul nodded, holding the wound on his left arm with his right hand. The pain in that arm was so painful that he almost lost consciousness.  He worriedly told the company commander some things, and then, under everyone's attention, he dragged his exhausted steps back to the temporary headquarters.

    Captain Richardson also looked tired and watched Paul walk in with red eyes. At the same time, he also saw the injury on his arm, blood was still oozing out, and he quickly advised Paul to go to the hospital.  But Paul shook his head. At this time, he still had many things that he couldn't let go of. Although the danger in the south was temporarily relieved, the battle in other directions was not over yet. What made him even more panicked was that,  The rescue team Captain Hoffman replied should have arrived at Dipingli long ago, but they have not arrived yet. This illustrates a problem, that is, the Chinese must have arranged arrangements on all sides of Dipingli at this time.  The purpose of blocking the reinforcements is to capture Toipingli.

    Seeing that Paul was unwilling to go to the hospital and still managed to answer the phone, Captain Richardson felt a little sorry. After all, he was the commander of the 23rd Regiment, and Paul, as the combat staff of the army, was actually not necessary at all.  Come and suffer with him.  Richardson sent for a doctor, who was doing the necessary medicine, hemostasis and bandaging for Paul at the temporary headquarters. He had to wait until the battle was over before he could perform surgery and return to the headquarters in Daegu.

    The doctor told Paul that his arm should be saved, which made Paul feel relieved. Facing the doctor's comfort, he could only smile bitterly: "Haha, being able to survive in this battle means nothing to me.  Just say, thank God already!¡±

    Listening to Paul¡¯s words, Richardson couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. He clearly heard Paul¡¯s determination.

    "Mr. Colonel, we are running out of ammunition and shells!" Richardson reported to Paul.

    Paul was stunned for a moment, and asked as if he didn't believe it: "How could it be? Captain, at the beginning, didn't you tell me that we had enough ammunition to fight for ten days?"

    Richardson became a little embarrassed and could only explain: "Yes, under normal circumstances, these ammunition are enough for us to use for ten days, but these days, just this night alone, we used all the ammunition we used in the past few days."  It¡¯s an amount that can only be used in seven or eight days!¡±

    Paul looked at Richardson blankly. In fact, if he thought about it, this day and two nights of fighting was rarely intense for someone like him who had participated in countless battles. If they hadn't used too much ammunition, maybe they wouldn't have done it.  Facing an enemy five or six times his own size, he can still hold on until now.

    "like??Tired!  "He said, and then looked at the lifeless town of Tuipingli at the foot of the mountain. It was already full of devastation, and apart from the smoke of gunpowder rising from time to time, there was no trace of life.

    Listening to Zhang Xian's words, Xiong Guangye also felt that there was some truth to it, so after Zhang Xian withdrew his company from the hilltop position, he also sent a squad of guards to hold on to the original position, and arranged other squads in his company.  All of them were withdrawn.

    At this time, Qian Xiongfeng had withdrawn his division headquarters into the woods at the foot of the mountain. Because this woods was still some distance away from Wangmei Mountain, it became a corner forgotten by US military aircraft.

    Although they did not capture Tooping-ri before dawn as planned, the results were still there. Compared with the attack the previous day, the volunteers had already occupied the Wangmeishan position, and Tooping-ri below was only a step away, so  Xiong Zhuoran had no doubt that he could capture Dipingli the next night. He truthfully reported the battle situation that night to the Volunteer Army's East Road Command. The East Road Command also instructed the participating troops to be prepared to attack Dipingli again that night.  .  Although all armies, divisions and even regiments are suffering from their own casualties, they cannot change the determination of the Volunteer Army Headquarters to capture Toupingli. The East Route Volunteer Army Headquarters even believes that it is because they did not capture Toopingli in the past two days.  Xiong Zhuoran, the commander of the 72nd Army, was not in good command, so he temporarily changed the command authority at this time and ordered the commander of the 40th Army to take overall responsibility. He must capture Toupingri on this day, that is, on the night of the 16th.  .

    But what is the basis for taking Toping-ri on the night of the 16th?  Precisely because the casualties of each unit were too heavy, some companies were defeated with only a few people left. As a result, dissatisfaction and anger gradually spread among units at all levels, and morale was also low to the extreme.

    Qian Xiongfeng could understand Xiong Zhuoran's mood at this time. The command of the attack on Dipingli was transferred from the 72nd Army to the 40th Army, which meant that the East Route Volunteer Army Headquarters had lost confidence in Commander Xiong. It was no wonder that he  Early in the morning, Xiong Zhuoran got angry at him and asked him why he failed to rush into Dipingli before dawn.

    Facing Xiong Zhuoran's questioning, Qian Xiongfeng was like a mute who had eaten yellow lotus. He could not tell him about his sufferings, so he could only tell him regardless of the trouble that the 214th Division suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers suffered too many losses.  The sacrifice is too great.

    No matter how Qian Xiongfeng emphasized objective factors, in Xiong Zhuoran's mind at this time, it was Qian Xiongfeng's battle with the 214th Division that was unfavorable, Qian Xiongfeng was afraid of death, and even Qian Xiongfeng's mouth was open and he couldn't say anything.  clear.

    It was at this time that swarms of enemy planes bombed Wangmei Mountain one after another. Those soldiers who stood firm on the top of the mountain finally couldn't stand it any longer. First, one and two ran away from the flames.  Then three, five, eight or nine people ran out of the position. In the end, there were rows and companies of people abandoning the position on the top of the mountain and running down the mountain. Some people still carried bears with them that could not be extinguished.  The flames were burned to death on the mountainside.

    Xiong Guangye looked at the comrades who were forced to withdraw from the mountain, and he was secretly afraid. If he hadn't followed Yu Deshui's ass and brought his company down the mountain, the possible situation would be like this.  Scene: Rolling and crawling out of the fire in a state of embarrassment.

    "What? Are you going to abandon the Wangmeishan position?" Hearing Qian Xiongfeng's request, Xiong Zhuoran almost exploded his lungs and told him very solemnly: "If you dare to abandon the Wangmeishan position, then you, the division commander, will  Don¡¯t be fooled!¡±

    Qian Xiongfeng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but get angry, and said: "Then, you can replace me now!"

    This sentence choked Xiong Zhuoran for a long time without speaking. After all, in the 72nd Army, there is no more suitable person to take over the position of commander of the 214th Division. Even if it is possible, it is impossible to do it during the battle.  Changing generals while in progress or changing generals before the battle is also a taboo for military strategists.  After half a day, he took the initiative to soften his tone and told him meaningfully: "Old Qian, you have to know that taking Wangmei Mountain will tear a hole in the enemy's ring defense. If you give up Wangmei Mountain,  , which is equivalent to letting the enemy close this hole again. Don't say that we will take Toipingri tonight, even if we can take Wangmei Mountain again, I'm afraid it won't be easy!"

    Hearing that the commander's tone began to soften, Qian Xiongfeng's tone also softened, and he could only tell him truthfully: "Commander, let me tell the truth. Now, without waiting for my order, the soldiers are already retreating.  If it is hit, the regiment commanders, battalion commanders, and company commanders will be unable to control it. If we don¡¯t withdraw, the situation will be uncontrollable!¡±

    Xiong Zhuoran couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect such a result at all.  If the army loses the general's order, it means the beginning of defeat.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
