  When the Independent 1st Brigade broke through to Sansori, the 40th Army, 39th Army, 50th Army and 66th Army began their attack on the enemy, fully compressing the enemy army. The enemy, who had not yet recovered from the previous blow, retreated in a hurry. Moreover, the US 1st Cavalry Division was also preparing to move north to reinforce and respond. The predicament of the Independent 1st Brigade was about to arrive.

  Received the telegram from the independent division, the leaders of the various departments couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. Peng Zong couldn't help but excitedly say "Blocked them off, I see where you American army will run to". Seeing the map with Longyuanli next to Sansuo, which was passed through by a highway, he also thought of a regiment that Gao Quan had proactively sent over and couldn't help but laugh and scold saying "This little kid, his vision is really accurate, how come I didn't discover this talent before? Is it because the Fourth Field Army has an abundance of talents?"

  "Commissar, Deputy Regimental Commander, look at this highway bridge over the Datong River. If we blow it up, our army only needs to leave a portion of its forces to defend Sansori, another portion to prevent the enemy from repairing the bridge, and the majority of our forces can support Sansori or launch a counterattack against the enemy," he said, pointing at the Datong River Bridge south of Sansori, addressing Qian Duo and Li Yi.

  "After careful consideration, I nodded and said: 'My intention is to first ambush the defeated enemy in the north, lure the main force of the US Cavalry Regiment to reinforce them, then send a strike team to blow up the big bridge. The enemy's rear will be empty, making it easier for us to fight next time. Moreover, our army has occupied the area around Longyuanli, and those enemy troops in the north, including the US Cavalry Regiment, won't be able to escape without losing a layer of skin. What do you think?'"

  Money doubts and worries asked, "The enemy is attacking from both sides, with three US divisions in front and one US division behind, totaling 700,000 to 800,000 people. We have only two regiments, with less than 8,000 men. The enemy has more than 400 tanks, over 500 artillery pieces, plus hundreds of aircraft providing support. We don't even have heavy artillery. Can we hold on? Moreover, after the cavalry division crosses the river, they will definitely guard the bridge tightly because it's their escape route and lifeline. Can we blow it up?"

  "I think we should send a company of stormtroopers and a light tank company, disguised as retreating enemy troops, to cross the bridge first. Then, they will hide and wait for the main force of the First Cavalry Division to cross the bridge. The enemy will definitely not be guarding that side, so we can blow up the bridge from the other side."

  He looked at them with inquiring eyes, Li Yi's face full of approval and excitement, but Qian Duo was worried and said "I reserve my opinion, this is too risky, the enemy will attack us from both sides, if we fail to break through the enemy's position, not only will we fail to complete our mission, but our army will also be passive. However, you are the military commander, this kind of thing should be decided by you." After finishing speaking, he lit a cigarette and smoked silently. Gao Quanbang was excited and slammed his hand on the table, saying "Good, let's show the American cavalry regiment our true skills this time!"

  At around 8 o'clock in the morning, the Second Regiment was still frantically building fortifications. The trenches had walls supported by logs, and the breastworks were made of frozen earth mixed with water, which was harder than steel in the cold winter of the north. The communication trenches were over two meters deep, and the top cover of the bunkers was repeatedly splashed with water and soil, which froze into a thick layer overnight, reaching a thickness of nearly half a meter. Even Regiment Commander Zhao Zilong tried to blast it with an 82mm recoilless gun, but only left white marks and some shell fragments on its surface.

  Moreover, the firing range of the position was thoroughly cleared and slope-shaped fortifications were built, making it difficult for the enemy to climb up, and tanks could hardly cross over. Moreover, on flat ground, water was repeatedly splashed, making the surface slippery, making it difficult for enemy infantry to walk, not to mention running. The highway was dug open with six anti-tank trenches connecting the two sides of the mountain slope, which were frozen with fine branches and covered with a thick layer of snow.

  Even if they walked close, it was hard to find that Feng Gui led the 2nd company of the assault battalion along the highway to conduct reconnaissance in the northern direction. The 1st company of the assault battalion, under the leadership of Qi Mu, took nine tanks from the light tank company Tian Zhen and three cars captured at San Suo, loaded with 500 kg of explosives, went to Datong River, and the 3rd company was assigned to the 1st regiment for combat.

  At this time, Gao Quan was looking at the files of the fake military special agent station that had been cracked in Sansuo. When he saw that the fake army had sent a special agent to Dayu Cave to guide the US military plane to bomb Dayu Cave, Gao Quan's heart was moved by one thing. After a few moments, Zhi Si received a telegram from the Independent Division: "Our department has discovered an enemy fake military special agent station in Sansuo, and the enemy has sent a special agent to the headquarters to guide the US military plane to bomb the headquarters."

  Commander Hong immediately dispatched the head of the General Headquarters Guard Bureau and the Security Regiment to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding area, killing six puppet army special agents, capturing two others, and engaging in fierce combat with US cavalry units, killing or wounding over 40 American soldiers. Two early model helicopters were also shot down. The strange iron bird was immediately sent to an aircraft factory in Northeast China for study. Ha Fei was asked to specialize in researching this type of aircraft. The planes that had been bombing our headquarters were redirected to bomb an abandoned mine shaft.

  Wearing the uniform of a lieutenant colonel in the puppet army, Feng Gui ran into a US military reconnaissance team of over 30 people riding in cars and M3 half-track armored vehicles. The friendly and enthusiastic ROK Army invited their intimate allies to get off the car and enjoy the hot and fragrant breakfast they had prepared. The canvas on the car could not block the severe cold of the Korean winter, so the US military, who were eager for a cup of hot coffee, thought that a bowl of thick soup would be fine too, and they all got off the car.

  Just now, more than a dozen puppet soldiers who were still on guard were also attracted by the fragrance and followed behind the American army, preparing to go eat, but suddenly took out their guns and shot down dozens of American soldiers. They found the American password book and communication vehicle, and immediately sent an urgent telegram to the Second Division of the American Army. The remnants of the puppet Seventh Division were together in San Soo-ri. As a result, General Keizer of the Second Division ordered the Fifth Cavalry Regiment to cover the retreat of the infantry, which had suffered heavy losses.

  The tank rumbled, the car roared, and the beautiful Second Division's motorcade appeared in the 15x telescope of Gao Quan. Meanwhile, Wang Jue, the commander of the high-altitude artillery company wrapped in white camouflage netting, was busily wiping the barrel of the 90mm anti-tank gun that had been laid flat. The American military had prepared a T34/85 tank reserve for him. Tank Battalion Commander Yu Lei stood beside him, enthusiastically talking about Wang Jue's various advantages, saying that this time they must capture several American 40mm anti-aircraft guns for Wang Jue to use, and then said that the 90mm anti-tank gun was useless against aircraft, but would be great for the tank battalion to use against tanks. In response to Yu Lei's muttering to himself, Wang Jue simply continued wiping the cannonballs.

  "Company commander, the enemy's tanks are here!", shouted the company commander of the heavy tank company as he rushed in. Yu Lei, who was turning around to run, didn't forget to turn his head back and say to Wang Jue, "You must protect my 90 high cannon well!"

  At this time, Zhao Zilong standing beside Gao Quan said to Gao Quan who was still observing the enemy with binoculars "Commander, how do you think my ambush position is set up this time? The fortifications are solid and the cannons can't be moved. With the surprise attack on both wings, we can definitely annihilate the enemy." Gao Quan calmly said "It's difficult, look at the enemy's convoy, it's so long. It seems that we can only let the enemy attack you first, and then launch a surprise counterattack when the enemy is exhausted."

  Then, after receiving the notification with excitement and sighing that it's an unlucky year, he had no idea that his enemy would soon send him nearly a hundred tanks, and without enough tank operators, he was worried.
