Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 298 Wu Wanli's Divine Move Has Been Made! Li Yunlong Launches a Full-Scale Offensive Against the UN Forces!

Hengcheng, inside the headquarters of the Seventh Steel Corps
"Wanli! The results of the negotiations between the Zhili Command and the capital region with the Soviet Union are in!"

Liu Hanqing's voice broke the silence in the room, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Lei Gong was smoking a pipe and wiping the captured artillery observation scope.

Gao Daxing was leaning against the corner of the wall, closing his eyes to rest and recover his strength.

Yu Congrong and Ping He were originally huddled under the oil lamp, studying the fragments of the captured codebook.

However, at this moment, they all raised their heads, their burning gazes focused on the documents in Liu Hanqing's hands.

"These are the final terms agreed upon by the Soviets!"

As long as our Seventh Steel Brigade can complete this magnificent feat of "crossing the Han River four times" as planned.

Then, they will transfer the equipment of six full-strength Soviet mechanic divisions free of charge!
It's not just about light weapons as initially mentioned, but a complete range of light and heavy firepower!

This includes Mosin-Nagant rifles, PPSh submachine guns, light and heavy machine guns, howitzer battalions, anti-aircraft artillery battalions, and field artillery battalions assigned to each division, as well as a complete set of ammunition production line blueprints, repair shop technology, and spare parts warehouses!

In addition, there are a total of 800 transport trucks, as well as a preliminary vehicle maintenance and support system!
And all they asked of us was to complete the four crossings of the Han River; all of this was given free of charge!

Liu Hanqing handed the telegram to Wu Wanli, straightened his back, and said with barely suppressed excitement.

"hiss--!"

A collective gasp filled the command center, followed by barely suppressed gasps and jubilation!
"The belongings of six fully-fledged Soviet mechanics!"
There are still eight hundred large trucks?!
This is equivalent to the firepower of many of our main divisions!
Especially the most needed artillery, field guns, and anti-aircraft guns, the artillery intensity of our entire Volunteer Army has almost doubled!

It's all thanks to the commander-in-chief's courage to fight; this is far better than the meager supplies the Soviet Union used to provide!

Yu Congrong rubbed his hands excitedly, as if those steel beasts were already right in front of him, and said.

"The most crucial point is that it's free!"

It's great that it's free!

This means that the grains grown by ordinary people and the gold mined by miners, not a single grain of rice or a gram of gold, will not be given to the Soviet Union for nothing!

For this reason alone, even if we have to tear through the Han River, we will still complete these four crossings in a beautiful way!
We cannot let the hard-earned money of our Chinese people go to waste!

A rare blush appeared on Gao Daxing's resolute face as he excitedly spoke.

"Goodness..."

All six divisions are equipped with fully staffed howitzer battalions, anti-aircraft artillery battalions, and field artillery battalions...

If this equipment were in the hands of our artillery, shooting down the American devils' tanks and planes would be like shooting at target practice!
What's more, there are so many transport trucks, which is exactly the transportation capacity that our logistics urgently need!

value! So worth it!

"Our Seventh Steel Brigade must get this job done!!"

Lei Gong put down the lens in his hand, his wrinkled and calloused hands trembling slightly as he spoke.

As the most experienced gunner, he knew better than anyone what those Soviet-made heavy artillery pieces and tractor trucks meant.

"The heavy equipment of six Soviet-equipped divisions, coupled with ample truck transport supply lines, can not only double the firepower of the front line, but also greatly improve the efficiency of logistical support, which has far-reaching strategic significance."

By sacrificing these equipment, we are saving food for the entire country and millions of our compatriots, and building up resources for our Chinese army!

We must shoulder this responsibility!

Even Pinghe, who is usually calm and meticulous, couldn't help but nod and said with bright eyes.

The crowd was filled with fervor, their determination as unbreakable as a rock.

All eyes finally fell back on Wu Wanli, who was sitting on the ammunition box.

When Wu Wanli heard that the Soviet Union had agreed to all of these things, a surge of pride rose within him, and his domineering confidence seemed to ignite the entire room.

At the same time, he was secretly pleased, because he really dared to report it, and the Soviet Union really dared to agree!

This is similar to the case of a wealthy but foolish merchant selling camels and weapons in later times. After he made an offer, the other party actually agreed immediately. What a pleasant surprise!

"Winning is inevitable!"
Old Yu is right, we are determined to get these guns, artillery, trucks and supporting equipment!
These were not Soviet goods taken for free; they were spoils of war that we fought our way out of the encirclement with our iron feet, tough bones, and brains. They are a cornerstone of the new China's armed forces!
But no matter how generous the reward, you have to be alive and capable to claim it.

The 100,000 UN troops in front of us are the real tough nut to crack right now!

"Hanqing, has the Hengcheng Guerrilla Detachment that I instructed earlier been mobilized yet?"

Wu Wanli suppressed the upward curve of his lips, pointed to the location of the Han River on the map with a pencil, and asked in a steady and powerful voice.

"Don't worry, Wanli, the Hengcheng Guerrilla Detachment has already been assembled!"

The backbone of the team is Comrade Li Xinghua, an outstanding Korean soldier from the Seventh Steel Corps, who serves as the detachment commander, and Comrade Zhang Zhenhua, a Korean staff officer, who serves as the political commissar!

The main body of the personnel is the guerrilla armed backbone left behind by Comrade Quan Douguang, whom you anticipated and requested to recruit. They have a deep mass base and practical experience in the local area.

In addition, we mainly mobilized workers, farmers and students to enlist before the war, plus some South Korean prisoners of war who were scattered by us and hated the oppression of the South Korean army voluntarily surrendered and were reorganized.

We have now reached a scale of over 6,000 people, and morale is very high!
Both the Hengcheng Guerrilla Detachment and the Hanjiang Guerrilla Detachment previously established in Suwon have been approved.

Their organization was placed under the unified command of the New Eighth Army led by Commander Quan Douguang, and they received the same treatment as the other guerrilla units left behind by Commander Quan Douguang!

Liu Hanqing nodded and said with a smile.

Six thousand soldiers! Excellent!
With this new force, we can say that we have put some foothold in Hengcheng!
Even after we leave, those UN forces holed up in their positions won't have a peaceful time!

Upon hearing this, Gao Daxing immediately spoke up.

"very good!
So, what about the Air Force?

How many fighter jets do we have available for deployment right now?
And what about the US military? They must have replenished their fighter jets, right? Based on intelligence estimates, how many are they roughly?

Wu Wanli nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask.

"The situation is both good and bad."

The good news is that the MiG fighter jet production line at the country's seventh military factory has urgently produced several batches of fighter jets.

Including the existing MiG aircraft and the battle-damaged aircraft that our pilots painstakingly repaired, the total number of fighter jets that can now be deployed in actual combat is 231!
But the speed at which the US military replenishes its forces can only be described as terrifying!

Their domestic production capacity is at its maximum, with large numbers of F-80 and F-84 'Thunderbolt' jets, and even some of the more advanced F-86 'Sabre' jets, flying in continuously!

Even based on current reliable intelligence and aerial reconnaissance analysis, the UN forces in Korea have already replenished their fleet to around 500 aircraft!
If it weren't for the limitations on pilots and the need for air forces to be assigned to other theaters of war, the number would probably be even higher!
However, even in the issue of pilot shortage, our situation is more severe, while the United States has a much better chance of finding replacements.

After all, their pilot training and rotation mechanisms are well-established, giving them a much stronger ability to sustain combat operations.

The number of Chinese pilots is too precious. Although we have training bases, it is difficult to replenish them.

If we require the main air force clusters to provide full-process, all-round air cover for the troops crossing the river.

Even if the MiG's performance is comparable, the numerical disadvantage and the density advantage of the US military in certain airspace will result in extremely heavy losses of our pilots and fighter jets, and there is even a huge risk of completely losing air superiority in the short term!
Our limited number of pilots and fighter jets are as precious as gold; losing even one will be difficult to replace in the short term.

When the Air Force was mentioned, Liu Hanqing's expression became more serious, and he quickly pulled up a file with new data.

When the topic of pilot loss came up, a heavy look flashed in the eyes of both Lei Gong and Yu Congrong.

They had all witnessed the brutality of aerial combat and knew how difficult it was to train an excellent pilot.

"Wu Siyi, who came from our Steel Seventh Brigade, should be the director of the Steel Seventh Military Factory now, right?"
There were also workers in the military factory; I remember many of them were soldiers from the Seventh Steel Brigade who had followed the Navy back to China.

They must have been working incredibly hard to produce it for us, but why does the output seem a bit low?

Wu Wanli asked with a slight frown.

"Wanli, we did indeed win the battle and secured the MiG fighter jet production line that the Soviet Union had provided as a free aid..."

But we haven't built a steel mill or the most advanced smelting technology...

The required grade of steel for fighter jets is extremely high, and the vast majority of the steel we smelt ourselves is substandard; only a very small amount is usable, resulting in a severe shortage of production.

Liu Hanqing sighed and said.

"Well, the new China is only a little over a year old. It's good enough that it can produce MiG fighter jets right now. Let's increase production slowly!"
Things will get better gradually...

Upon hearing this, Wu Wanli couldn't help but sigh.

The new China is young now, and it is also the poorest era.

At this moment, Wu Wanli, as a time traveler, has a deeper understanding of the hardships endured by his country's predecessors.

The air in the command room grew heavy again; the excitement about the equipment was suppressed by the harsh reality.

Five hundred to two hundred and thirty-one—this disparity stands out starkly in the face of operations requiring long-term, large-scale cover for such a fragile group crossing the river.

Just when everyone thought Wu Wanli would frown and ponder how to cross the river amidst a forest of enemy planes, they saw that the confidence in his eyes not only did not disappear, but became even brighter!
"Air cover?"
Who said our air force was needed to cover our crossing of the river?!

Wu Wanli's voice suddenly rose, and he uttered the earth-shattering words!
"Huh? Not covering us?"

Yu Congrong looked stunned, almost thinking he had misheard.

Without air cover, with 100,000 UN troops watching them with predatory eyes, the US Air Force's bombs were no joke!
Gao Daxing also frowned, puzzled.

"Wanli, crossing the river without air cover would be very dangerous. We can't gamble on the small probability that the US Air Force won't detect us, can we? Do you have a better idea?"

Even Liu Hanqing was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly asked in a low voice.

"Deploy all of China's air force's fighter jets immediately at maximum capacity!"

Bombard the south with all your might!

Bomb the American and South Korean troops and their supplies piled up there! Make as much noise as possible!

Wu Wanli slammed his hand on the table, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the battle map.

"Instead of providing cover for the crossing of the river, our Chinese Air Force is going to bomb the US forces blocking our way to the south..."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hanqing paused slightly and murmured.

But he was such a clever man that he quickly grasped Wu Wanli's tactics, and it was an instant enlightenment!
"Brilliant! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

Ridgway, Van Fleet, and their gang of Americans are definitely keeping a close eye on our every move!
After analyzing the tactics and strategy, they are likely convinced that we will break through along the Han River via the easiest southern route!

Our fighter jets launched a massive southward attack, relentlessly bombing targets on the south bank!
To them, this was practically an open secret—a signal flare indicating that we were about to force our way out from the south!

This will inevitably mislead them, causing them to move their reserves and even reinforcements that are on their way to the south, including the US Air Force fighter jets!

The Americans thought we would fight our way out in the south!
However, our main force was able to seize the opportunity at the critical moment when they were misled by the signals from the southern front and their forces were tilted southward!

We will unexpectedly cross the Han River tributary to the west, completing our second river crossing, and launch a surprise attack on Suwon!
This is a true deception!
"Feint to the south while attacking the west!"

Liu Hanqing slammed his hand on the table and pointed out excitedly.

These words caused an uproar in the command room, followed by thunderous praise!
Everyone was shocked by this bold, almost insane, yet exquisitely ingenious reverse thinking!
"Yeah!

Bomb that son of a bitch's south!
Let the Americans think we're going to poke their ass in the south!

Yu Congrong rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"A mix of deception and reality, truth and falsehood—the Captain's soul-shifting technique is enough to give the Americans a run for their money!"

Gao Daxing let out a heavy sigh, his eyes filled with conviction.

"Commander Wu, Political Commissar Liu, this plan is truly ingenious. The massive bombing of the southern front will surely cause the US military to make a miscalculation."

However, the chaos caused by the bombing is limited, and the time it can draw attention is also limited!

Once the UN forces have amassed a large force on the southern front and find that our main force is not attacking from the south, their commanders may realize this in just a few hours or even less!

Then, reserves will be urgently mobilized to the north to intercept or return to Suwon, and the reaction speed of the US Air Force fighter jets is even faster.

If we are still crossing the river or have just landed on the north bank, we may be discovered in advance and suffer a head-on attack from the US Air Force!

The time difference... might not be enough for us to completely deceive the enemy and safely cross the Han River to complete our blitzkrieg!

Pinghe calmly considered for a moment and then immediately offered his reminder.

His analysis was like a bucket of cold water, cooling down the initial excitement considerably.

Yu Congrong, Gao Daxing, and Lei Gong all frowned.

Yes, how long can the "feigning attack from the south" scam work?
This is a race against time!
This operation concerns the very survival of the entire Steel Seventh Brigade; we cannot afford to be complacent and must proceed with utmost caution!
For a moment, the headquarters of the Seventh Steel Corps fell into a brief silence once again.

"Hahahaha... Pinghe is right, I had already considered this issue!"

How can one strategy of feinting south while attacking west be enough?
If we just let the Chinese Air Force perform in the south, the Americans might only hesitate for a few hours.

But what if we give them an even bigger, more authentic performance of the North!
"Wouldn't it take enough time to truly convince them that our main force is in the north?"

Wu Wanli asked with a loud laugh.

"A feint to the south while attacking the north? But aren't we aiming for the Han River..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Congrong murmured, somewhat unable to follow the train of thought.

"First, let our air force bomb the south to draw the US air force and troops away for a while, then let the Hengcheng Detachment take immediate action!"

Don't hold back your firepower! Launch a full-scale attack on the Han River defense line with the greatest possible momentum!
Furthermore, immediately send a secret telegram to Commander Li Yunlong!

He was instructed to lead his troops and immediately launch a large-scale feint attack!
They adopted a posture of preparing to forcefully cross the main stream of the Han River and support the main force of our Steel Seven back to the north bank of the river!

In this way, the UN forces will think that we are using a feint attack to try to force our way out!

This delay gives us enough time to cross the Han River tributary and launch a lightning attack on Suwon!

However, even this direct attack isn't fast enough!
Didn't we leave behind a Han River detachment when we left Suwon?

I specifically ordered that half of them stay in the city to hide, and the other half stay outside the city to fight as guerrillas!
If we are too slow to retaliate, our comrades in the city may be discovered and arrested.

But we struck so quickly this time, they definitely haven't been caught yet!

One unit of the Han River Detachment stationed outside the area is responsible for getting the North Korean people to help us repair the bridge. Remember to provide them with supplies and compensation, and maintain good relations with the local people!
One of the Hanjiang Detachments, which is located there, can work together with us from the inside!
This is a feint to the south, a feint to the north, and a real attack to the west!

With the help of the previously deployed Han River detachment, a resounding victory in this second crossing of the Han River is highly probable!

Wu Wanli looked around at everyone and said with great enthusiasm.

"Brilliant! A series of interconnected schemes! This move is absolutely brilliant!"
The new recruits of Hengcheng Detachment attacked the northern riverside targets, and no matter how large the scale, it was just a bluff. But with the addition of the renowned and fiercely competitive Commander Li Yunlong, they launched a powerful supporting attack on the western section of the Han River!

With this commotion, it's hard not to believe it!
At that time, the US military's intelligence map will first show our main air force on the southern front bombing like crazy, implying an attack southward!
When they mobilized a large number of air force and reserve troops to attack, and found that our main force was not there, Hengcheng Detachment immediately joined forces with the 27th Army to launch a fierce attack on the Han River defense line held by the US 24th Division!

At that time, they will immediately fall into a huge fog of information and panic about their judgment!

They would think that our Steel Seventh Brigade is likely to abandon Hengcheng and choose a riskier but faster breakout route!
That is to take advantage of the blocking forces on the north side of the Han River to force a crossing of the wide main stream of the Han River and fight back to the north bank!
That's the shortest and most direct route home!

Once this idea takes hold within the US military command, it will inevitably prompt them to shift the focus of the encirclement, especially the rapid reaction forces and air strike capabilities, away from our pre-planned southern deception!
Then they frantically mobilized, reinforced, and deployed troops along the main stream of the Han River to the north, in order to prevent our "real main force" from joining forces with Li's army on the western front and fleeing back to the north bank of the river!
The time wasted here is more than enough for us to cross the Han River and launch a lightning attack on Suwon!

It's even possible that the US Air Force's emergency mobilization and concentration towards the Han River could create a vacuum in Suwon's air force capabilities!

"At that point, we might even gain temporary air superiority, giving us the opportunity to coordinate with the air force to quickly capture Suwon!"

Liu Hanqing instantly understood and was so excited he almost shouted it out.

"What a clever feint, a pincer attack from the north and south!"

What a clever scheme!

It's truly a chain reaction!

"The commander-in-chief truly deserves to be called the sharpest blade of our Volunteer Army; a tactical genius!"

If the battle succeeds, the UN forces will be like an old ox with its nose pierced by our commander-in-chief!
If he tells you to go south, you have to go south; if he tells you to go north, you have to go north!

Lei Gong slapped his thigh and said with a big smile.

Hahahaha...

With Commander Li Yunlong's fiery temper, he would definitely open fire and launch a fierce attack immediately upon receiving the order!
This commotion is definitely not going to be small!

With the artillery fire from the north of the Han River, coupled with the disturbance caused by our Hengcheng Detachment in the north, it's no wonder the American troops went crazy!
They definitely thought we were going home!

At least the entire air force has gone north to block the Yangtze River!

Yu Congrong grinned and agreed with a smile.

"By using the newly established Hengcheng Detachment and the friendly forces north of the Han River to create momentum, this tactic of using the enemy's strength against them and manipulating the enemy's command center is simply unpredictable!"

This will temporarily relax the US military's defenses on the southern front, as their attention will be tightly tied to the main stream of the Han River. We will have much more time to cross the river at the crossing point north of Hengseong and near Suwon!

With the banner of Commander Li Yunlong, credibility can even be increased!
After all, everyone knows that our Commander Li Yunlong is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. His desperate rescue seems more like saving his own brother than setting a trap! Gao Daxing's face also showed understanding and sincere admiration, and he quickly said.

"Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

By exploiting differences in spatial distance, information timing, and troop type, they advanced layer by layer, thoroughly disrupting the enemy.

The bombing of the southern front was the first layer of fog, the northward attack of the Hengcheng Detachment was the second layer of impetus, and the pincer attack on the Han River was the third layer of heavy blows!

The strategy was progressive and interconnected, enough to keep the main US forces firmly pinned down on the northern and western fronts for a considerable period of time!
This is enough to cover our main force as they quietly cross a tributary of the Han River and advance towards Suwon!

Pinghe's tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed completely, and he nodded emphatically.

"Comrades, your analyses are all correct!"
But don't forget, Suwon, this important military town, isn't just sitting there naked waiting for us to pick it up!

According to the latest intelligence, a US provisional regiment of about 3,000 men and the ROK 3rd Division, which has been decimated and has only about 7,000 men left, are stationed in the city!

There may also be mobile reserve forces surrounding them!

Relying on the remaining fortifications, this time is enough for them to build a new tortoise shell on our ruins!
Taking Suwon will not be an easy and pleasant march, but a fierce battle like snatching teeth from a tiger's mouth!
The enemy's troop strength, firepower, and positions are far superior to those of the troops on the south bank of the Han River who have been mobilized and may be in a state of complacency!
We're going to fight a tough battle! We're going to tackle the toughest challenges!

They want to tear a hole through what the US military considers its safe haven once again!
This Soviet reward is generous, but every single one was earned through the blood and sweat of our soldiers!

Order the Air Force to immediately draft and send out a telegram regarding bombing operations on the southern front!
The Hengcheng Detachment immediately marched north to approach, and the order to attack must be issued on time, with sufficient momentum!

Send an urgent telegram to Commander Li Yunlong immediately!
Tell him, if he wants to beat up the Americans, he'll have to do something tough! Ideally, he should hold them off for at least six hours!

You shall immediately return to your respective posts. Artillerymen shall check the ammunition levels, and infantrymen shall organize their gear and check for weapon and ammunition replenishment!
Armored units must immediately prepare for fuel resupply during long-distance raids!

Troops must complete Level 1 combat readiness within half an hour! Maintain absolute radio silence!
Half an hour later, we will immediately set off, cross the Han River to the west, and launch a lightning attack on Suwon!

Wu Wanli slammed his hand on the table and gave the order with an air of dominance.

"Yes!!!"

Upon hearing this, the key members of the Seventh Steel Brigade quickly agreed.

Soon the Seventh Steel Brigade was ready for battle and, under the cover of night, made its way westward toward the Han River.

Hengcheng Detachment also slowly moved towards the Han River defense line to the north, preparing for an attack.

.......................................

Seoul, the headquarters of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's blocking force.

"Report--!"

In an instant, a sharp, almost distorted roar suddenly burst open the heavy wooden door of the tunnel!

With a loud crash, the door slammed against the earthen wall, sending up a cloud of dust.

A young staff officer from the Chinese People's Volunteer Army staggered in like an arrow released from a bow, shouting!

Everyone in the command center seemed to be frozen in place, their eyes instantly fixed on the reckless intruder!
"Urgent...urgent telegram!"

"Commander Wu... Commander Wu urgently reports the battle plan!"

The volunteer army staff officer, disregarding his disheveled appearance, shouted with his chest heaving violently.

"What kind of trick is that brat Wu Wanli up to now? Read it out!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong quickly asked.

"Commander Wu Wanli wants us to immediately mobilize all available air force fighters!"
At all costs, concentrate the largest possible firepower!
The entire South Korean army is launching a full-scale bombardment of the Nanxingli, Mashan, and Yingde areas directly south of Hengcheng, targeting the assembly points, logistics warehouses, and transportation hubs of its southern front troops!
We must create the illusion that our main force is about to break through the encirclement from the south!
It must be large-scale! Its firepower must be fierce!
We want every American, whether they fly in the sky or crawl on the ground, to see this!
"Make them feel bad!"

The volunteer army staff officer took two quick breaths and said in a hoarse voice.

This first phase of the battle plan was like the first thunderclap!
Li Yunlong's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints!
Kong Jie subconsciously stopped puffing on his pipe, his mouth slightly open!
Ding Wei leaned forward abruptly, his eyes sharp as knives!

Zhao Gang suddenly raised his head, and a terrifying glint flashed in his eyes behind his glasses!

Bombing the southern front?

Creating the illusion of a breakout on the southern front?!

What kind of tactic is this... a feint attack?
"While our air force completes its fierce bombing campaign!"

Commander Wu Wanli ordered the Hengcheng Guerrilla Detachment to launch a swift and fierce diversionary attack on the main defense line of the Han River, which was heavily guarded by American troops!
At all costs! Not seeking a complete breakthrough! But aiming for overwhelming momentum!

This creates the illusion that our main force, with the strong support of the blocking forces north of the river, is about to cross the main channel of the Han River and escort the Seventh Steel Corps back to the north of the river!

We must strike them so hard they tremble with fear! We must disrupt their planned strategies!

The volunteer army staff officer spoke at an extremely fast pace, roaring out the second part of the battle plan.

"A diversionary attack?!"

Six thousand guerrillas attack the main defense line of the Han River?

A feint attack!

Upon hearing this, Kong Jie stood up abruptly.

He instantly realized that this was a bluff!
The first phase focused the US military's attention on the south, and the second phase was to keep the US military's attention firmly pinned on the Han River defense line!
"Good! Let's lure them away from their base and keep their reserves immobilized!"

Ding Wei's eyes suddenly lit up, and he subconsciously roared.

"After the large-scale bombing by the Air Force causes the US military to make a strategic miscalculation and attracts a large number of enemy reserves and air power to be mobilized!"
"The main force of the Seventh Steel Brigade can then launch a lightning attack on Mizuwon!"

The volunteer army staff officer then continued.

"Damn it, they're attacking Mizuhara again?!"
Lao Tzu understood that his battle plan did indeed have a chance of successfully diverting the main force and air force of the US military.

But according to intelligence, Suwon is also garrisoned by a US Army unit and a remnant South Korean army division!

How can Wu Wanli guarantee that he can take Suwon in such a short time?

Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong's eyes widened immediately as he asked.

"Commander, Chief Wu, the hidden agent who will quickly capture Suwon, has already made arrangements in advance!"

When Commander Wu Wanli withdrew from Suwon, he left behind a Han River Detachment. Half of them were hidden in Suwon City, and the other half were near a tributary of the Han River. Both of them had a reliable mass base and inside agents!
Once the main force of the Seventh Steel Corps arrives, a Hanjiang Detachment will be responsible for mobilizing the local people to organize the emergency repair of the key bridge needed to cross the Han River tributary to the west.

Another elite unit of the Han River Detachment continued to infiltrate the city, waiting for our main force to reach the outskirts of Suwon.

When the attack signal is triggered, we will immediately coordinate an attack from within and without!

While they may not be able to directly defeat the US forces inside the city, they can attack US command nodes, key logistics points, and communication centers to create maximum chaos!
Furthermore, in conjunction with the lightning assault launched by the main force of my Seventh Steel Brigade from outside the city!

In this way, we can break through the Suwon defense line in one fell swoop and recapture the city!

The volunteer army staff officer's face was full of fanaticism and admiration as he spoke quickly.

"Om-!"

Time seemed to have been frozen at absolute zero!

The entire command post fell into a chilling, deathly silence.

The seven seasoned generals had all turned into stiff clay puppets.

Their minds were as if they had been thoroughly washed by this series of treacherous schemes, and after a brief blank, there was a deafening roar!

The battlefield map on the sand table looked completely different to everyone!
The blue noose that seemed unsolvable and trapped the red dot was suddenly torn open into a deadly passage by an invisible yet incredibly precise giant hand!

Bomb the southern front!

This led the US military to believe that the main offensive direction was in the south!

Hengcheng Detachment launches a fierce attack on the Han River!

This led the US military to believe that the rendezvous point was on the north shore!
The reserve forces and air force were pinned down on the Han River, while the main force crossed the river to the west!
They launched a surprise attack on Suwon during the enemy's most unexpected moment!

Taking advantage of what the enemy considered the "safest" location, they launched a surprise attack on Suwon in coordination with the Han River Detachment!
Every step was precisely calculated based on the enemy's habitual thinking!

Every step cleverly utilizes the enemy's fear and reaction!

Each step forms a perfect closed loop! Sheng Nan!
Sheng Nan!

Xu Bei!

Shi Xi!

Internal response!

Concealing the truth!

Secretly cover up Chencang!

Attack where they are unprepared!

Li Yunlong was the first to recover from the extreme shock.

His bloodshot eyes were now burning with excitement as he stared intently at the Mizuhara on the sand table.

"Suwon, the darkest place is under the lamp!"
You son of a bitch, you're blind to what's right under your nose!
The southern front was bombed so hard that the earth shook, and the Han River defense line was under constant gunfire and artillery fire, urgently calling for their lives!
Those damn American lords must be scared out of their wits, thinking I'm going to go bankrupt and fight them to the death for the south and north!

In a short time, how many troops do they have left to spare for Suwon, which seems 'safe' to the west?!
Their heavy armor and reserves were all moved to the mouth of the Han River, and the air force also had to be dispersed to the southern front to fight the fire!

"That Wu Wanli kid is a real genius!"

Li Yunlong suddenly raised his head and praised him with a hint of excitement.

As he spoke, he yanked up the small red flag representing the Seventh Steel Brigade and, with a "thud," slammed it into the heart of Suwon City!
"A flawless plan!"
He completely understood the US military's mindset!

Bombing the southern front will surely attract their close attention, and the main force of the air force will definitely rush to the south!
Hengcheng Detachment Attacks Han River!
The Han River defense line is crucial to their impenetrable encirclement!

The US military leadership will surely be terrified and will definitely deploy all available reserves and remaining air power to the north bank of the Han River!

While the US military's focus and forces were completely absorbed by the north and south, and internal coordination was in chaos!
The real blade, however, silently slashed towards Suwon, the flank they considered the 'safest' and least likely to be attacked!

The bombing of the south was a ruse!

The northern offensive is also a feint!
The real goal is to strike the West!
Interlocking mechanisms! A harmonious blend of the unexpected and the expected!
What a brilliant feint to the south while attacking the west!

What a brilliant and ingenious plan!

Zhao Gang, the political commissar who is usually calm, wise, and methodical, now showed only pure shock and admiration on his face as he spoke.

All his previous worries were swept away by this terrifyingly precise series of deadly moves.

"pretty!
This kid has a firm grasp on the rigid coordination and command procedures used by the Americans!
By the time they realize their attack is misdirected, our red flag will probably be flying over Suwon Castle!

Ding Wei stomped his foot hard and excitedly agreed.

"Commander-in-Chief! Political Commissar!"

All officers and soldiers of the New Eighth Army are on standby at any time!
Please give the order!

With the cooperation of the Hengcheng Detachment, we will definitely turn the Hanjiang River upside down!
We will not allow a single American devil to be separated from rescuing Suwon!

Quan Douguang spoke with unwavering conviction, his heart filled with unconditional trust in Wu Wanli and a determination to serve him to the death.

"Commander Wu's strategy is brilliant! Our Ninth Army is also fully prepared and ready to strike at any time! We will coordinate with the main force to disrupt the enemy's deployment!"

Lin Zhengshun, commander of the 9th Army, breathed a long sigh of relief. The heart that had been hanging in his throat finally settled back into his stomach, and he spoke with utmost conviction and excitement.

At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride for his sister's good taste. What girl wouldn't admire such a hero?
An Changsen didn't speak, but a relieved smile appeared on his face.

He quietly put away his daughter's letter in his pocket, and now, looking at the red arrow pointing towards Suwon on the sand table, his state of mind was completely different.

Wu Wanli's strategy not only relieved the siege and secured the Soviet-made weapons, a national treasure, but also revealed to him the unfathomable wisdom and courage in this young man, a talent worthy of entrusting his daughter's future.

A complex feeling of "pleasing to the eye" arises, much like a future father-in-law looking at his son-in-law.

"Since everyone is praising it, that means they all agree with this kid's battle plan. So I'll give the order now!"
"Advisor!"

Li Yunlong nodded slightly and shouted loudly.

"To!"

The volunteer army staff officer standing by immediately stood at attention in response.

"Immediately order Wang Wei!"
All the air force's capable fighter jets!

Take off immediately, everyone!

Target: Hengcheng South Line!
Smash all the noisy things at me!
Make the commotion as loud as possible!
Let's blast the sky red!
Let the Americans keep their eyes wide open!

Li Yunlong shouted.

"Yes!"

"..."

The volunteer army staff officer responded and loudly repeated the notes.

"second!
Orders to the 27th Army! The 12th Army! The New 8th Army! The 9th Army!
All personnel immediately enter a state of high alert!

Li Yunlong gave the order loudly.

"Old Li, this doesn't seem right, does it?"

Comrade Wu Wanli's battle plan should mean that we concentrate some of our elite main forces to launch a feint attack on the eastern section of the Han River.

After all, the 24th Division stationed along the Han River and the British and Turkish brigades confronting each other in the Incheon area were both elite forces...

If we rashly launch a full-scale attack, it's fine if we gain an advantage, but if we fall behind, the losses could be substantial..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang quickly offered a reminder.

"What the hell is this elite force?"

I'm fighting against the elite!

I no longer have a monk, and I regret it every time I think about it!
Now that Wu Wanli wants our cooperation, how can we, Old Li, not go all out?!
"If one day it were you, Zhao Gang, or Ding Wei, or even Kong Erlengzi..."

Li Yunlong thought of the monk and felt a pang of pain in his heart as he spoke.

"Old Li, if you're going to say something loyal, say it properly, don't take the time to curse me out!"
Why are they all famous, and I'm the fool again?

Upon hearing this, Kong Jie quickly interrupted.

"Stop interrupting me, you son of a bitch!"

Do you really think Wu Wanli's battle plan is 100% guaranteed to succeed?
Why do you think he called it a feint attack instead of a real all-out attack?

He thought that if he died, it would all be over, and he wouldn't want to drag us down with him!

Li Yunlong took a deep breath and shouted with a mix of shrewdness and rudeness.

These words sent a jolt through everyone present.

Yes……

Including Wu Wanli's current struggles and the hellish challenge of crossing the Han River four times, is it all for his own empty fame?

It's all for the sake of enhancing the motherland's military strength and armaments, and for the preparation of the Fifth Campaign!

“Old Li, Wu Wanli is indeed a good comrade. If he is really trapped, of course we should rescue him…”

Zhao Gang sighed, his heart trembling slightly as he spoke.

"That's for sure!

In short, it all boils down to the same principle!

If our own brothers are surrounded by American devils, and we don't risk our lives to rescue them, are we even men?

I have a heart, I have a liver, and I have feelings!
I, Li Yunlong, am a man of great loyalty and honor. Even if the Heavenly King himself came to stop me, I would blast him to pieces with one cannon shot!
This all-out offensive is not only to coordinate with Wu Wanli's attack, but also to prepare for our entire force to rush to the south bank of the Han River to rescue him should he fail!
Get the hell out there and get ready. When it comes down to it, the brave will win. When it really comes to rescuing Wu Wanli, none of you are allowed to back down!

To hell with 100,000 UN troops! We are Chinese soldiers, and we'll fight to the death!

Li Yunlong slammed his hand on the table and gave a loud order.

"Yes!!!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately agreed.
