    Paul came to Chuncheon City. This small war-torn town had only ruins left at this time. However, due to the geographical importance of this county town, it is located at the confluence of Bukhan River and Soyang River.  It is the hub of the highway from Seoul to the east coast and the north-south highway running through the eastern part of the peninsula, so from a military perspective, it is a battleground.  At this time, the former enemy headquarters of the U.S. Tenth Army has already advanced here, because the U.S. Ninth Army to the west and the South Korean Third Army to the east are advancing northward at the same time. In order to coordinate  The actions of several United Nations troops in the east were not like the previous times due to disjointed operations, which had reduced the maximum results they should have achieved. Paul, as the deputy chief of staff of the Eighth Army, volunteered to ask General Van Fleet for orders and arrived.  Supervise operations on the eastern front.  Originally, the commander of the Tenth Army, Major General Almonte, was only planning to push his headquarters northward to Hongchuan and then stop. However, he could not withstand Paul's constant urging and had to go further north and recapture it after the Tenth Army.  After Chunchuan City, he became bolder and set up the former enemy headquarters here. It was almost close to the 38th Parallel. If you go further north, it would be Hwachuan City, which is already the 38th Parallel.  North of the eighth parallel.

    Paul was very excited. This time, under his suggestion, the Tenth Army changed its previous steady and steady tactics and attacked quickly when the opponent was preparing to retreat north. It learned the tricks used by the Chinese and inserted them in the middle. It was really impressive.  Unexpected results were achieved.  However, Major General Almonte was still a bit conservative. After capturing Chunchuan City, he immediately ordered the troops to slow down their march north. His reason was also very good, that is, they had already reached the 38th parallel and must obey the previous command.  The level of clear instructions, whether we really have to fight across the 38th parallel.

    General Van Fleet was much more hot-tempered than General Ridgway. He did not ask the politicians in Washington for instructions. After getting Ridgway's acquiescence, he directly ordered the United Nations troops to push past the 38th parallel again. This made many  The generals were all excited. After all, this time was different from the previous battles. Although the opponent had a strong attack power at the beginning, this kind of offensive with no stamina seemed to be at the end of a strong effort. Once the United Nations forces were slowed down,  When they are angry, the power of the counterattack is enough to level the entire Korean Peninsula in the shortest possible time and drive the Chinese back.

    However, when the generals worked hard to march north in order to gain more honors, many soldiers were unwilling to go north again. For them, it was a risk to go to a strange country to fight for others.  It's not worth risking death. If it weren't for the personal supervision of the battalion commanders and company commanders, they might all lie down and sleep.

    Indeed, no soldier is willing to go to war, although everyone knows that soldiers come out just to fight!  The kind of guy who appears extremely excited because of a fight is truly mentally disturbed.

    Han Qi was also very excited. He came here with Paul. In fact, he had also walked through the battlefield here. The last time was to understand the situation and to obtain first-hand information on Chinese prisoners.  In the past few days, the United Nations Army had acquired many prisoners of the Chinese Volunteer Army on the line from Gapyeong to Chuncheon. These prisoners were quickly coerced and coaxed by him to interrogate them, and a lot of information was obtained from them. Among them  There was a situation that he felt he should report to Paul immediately, which might allow the United Nations forces to gain a bigger harvest.

    "So, from the accounts of these prisoners, I can tell you with certainty that two to three divisions in China are lagging behind!" Han Qi told Paul in a tone that left no room for doubt: "After the United Nations forces captured the Dragon King Temple,  At that time, if the troops from the south had followed up faster, they could have completely surrounded at least one of their divisions, but the United Nations forces fought too steadily and let them cross the Bukhan River and run away!"

    Paul looked at the map in front of him. He believed that what his old Chinese friend said was true. In fact, when he and General Almonte were discussing a quick insertion, he had wanted to learn the Chinese method.  Plunge and hit hard, divide them, and then follow up to eat the enemy one by one.  However, Almonte was not used to this tactic. This famous military commander was too cautious. He would rather wait for a day than take risks.  Think about it, if he hadn't been cautious and led the Tenth Army to march northward in Hamhung steadily, perhaps the Tenth Army would have been defeated by the Chinese like the Ninth Army to the west; even if it faced several times  He was able to retreat unscathed even though the Chinese troops were outnumbered by his own troops. In addition to his bravery, this was all due to his caution.  To convince General Almont to take the risk would be even harder than going to heaven.

    "You said two or three of their divisions fell behind us? Can you be more specific?" Paul asked politely.

    Han Qi nodded and explained to him: "We started to retreat to the north. At that time, we didn¡¯t have a map. We only knew to go north. We even took the wrong road in the middle. We turned back and had to proceed carefully along the road!  "He said and stopped, breathing heavily.

    Zhang Xian's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom of the water. There was no need to think about it. The troops that were wiped out by the enemy in the small village just now must be the remnants of Chen Daxing's army. He was very worried about Chen Daxing's safety, but among the corpses just now, there were no  Seeing Chen Daxing, he couldn't help but ask: "What happened next?"

    "When we walked to this village, we met several members of the 643rd Regiment who were injured and unable to walk. They included deputy commander Cao Shuang, deputy chief of staff Zuo Anjiang and staff officer Tian Zhuangzhuang. They all fell behind and failed to follow.  of!"

    When he heard these familiar names, especially when he heard that his brother-in-law Tian Zhuangzhuang was also there, Zhang Xian's heart beat faster and faster. These few were not among the corpses. If they had not sacrificed themselves, they would not have escaped.  If you go out, under this situation, the biggest possibility is to be captured.

    Song Mingliang continued: "Chen Daxing decided to stop in this village for a while and wanted to make stretchers to take away the wounded, but" When he said this, he couldn't help but choked up with tears.  Unconsciously, his face was wet, but he still sobbed, and continued: "The enemy arrived suddenly. We were going to hide, but they saw the village and fired a bunch of cannons in this direction first.  The horse was frightened, and just like that we were all discovered"

    It is conceivable that with such a huge disparity in strength, how could dozens of people withstand an American attack?

    "If there were no wounded like us, Chen Daxing and the others could have escaped very quickly! However, Chen Daxing did not do this!" Song Mingliang still couldn't stop his tears and choked for a long time before he calmed down and continued: "He  He ordered a few people to move the wounded to the mountain. He led a dozen people to block the attack at the entrance of the village. However, the enemy was too fast and soon surrounded us. They used flame weapons to set fire to the village. We all  Surrounded by a sea of ??fire, Chen Daxing rushed out first, trying to lure the enemies away, but I saw him being hit in the leg by the enemies. The enemies came forward to catch him. He fought with the enemies with bayonets and knocked down two of them.  One, but in the end he was outnumbered and captured!"

    "What? You said Brother Daxing was captured by the enemy?" Xiong Sanwa came out of nowhere, crying and asking loudly!

    Song Mingliang nodded sadly.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
