Starting from 1950

Half an hour later, the battlefield was cleaned up.

The 9th Regiment of the 2nd Infantry Division also kindly left us many gifts, including:

Dozens of M1 rifles, several light and heavy machine guns, a quantity of ammunition, several mortars, 6 scrapped cars, and 4 scrapped tanks!

Besides weapons and supplies, there were also quite a few other odds and ends.

There are winter hats, Arctic fleece sleeping bags, overcoats, woolen military blankets, etc.

What truly broadened Su Yang's horizons was the enemy's individual rations.

The canned goods alone include luncheon meat, beef, beans, meat stew with vegetables, and meat broth.

Side dishes include biscuits, bread, dehydrated vegetables, chocolate, hard candy, coffee powder, and fruit juice powder.

There are even accessory kits, including: chewing gum, cigarettes, matches, sewing kit, razor blades, water purification tablets, and so on.

"If we had that kind of supply, I could take down even the King of Heaven himself!"

Li Weixin, who was fighting the Lighthouse Army for the first time, was dumbfounded. It took him a while to come back to his senses. He looked down at the empty food bag tied to his waist and sighed.

"You'll get used to it. But then again, I'd prefer the enemy to have as many supplies as possible, since once we defeat them, they'll all be ours!" The battalion commander patted him on the shoulder and laughed.

Su Yang had anticipated this.

In this era, the United States is undoubtedly the number one country on Earth, both in terms of economic strength and industrial system.

It's only natural that soldiers are armed to the teeth.

"Hurry! Move faster! Heavy machine gun! Take that heavy machine gun down! Shells! Load all the shells onto the trucks! Don't forget the mortar barrels either! Take everything you can carry, drive the movable cars, and blow up those trucks and tanks that can't move!"

Luo Pojun's loud and urgent voice rang out again.

"Yes, Commander!"

"boom--"

After several deafening explosions, the 352nd Regiment left the battlefield with a large amount of spoils.

......

The Battle of Liudong Village was of great significance to the 352nd Regiment.

It was not only because of the outstanding results achieved, such as killing more than 160 enemy soldiers, destroying a total of 10 cars and tanks, and seizing a large number of guns and ammunition, while suffering only 37 casualties on its own side.

More importantly, the roles of offense and defense have now reversed!

Previously, the entire regiment had fled north in order to carry out the mission of luring the enemy.

Just moments after Luo Pojun finished reporting the battle results over the phone, the division headquarters issued the following order:

From this moment on, the entire army turns around, and a major counterattack is about to begin!

"Gah!"

Xiaoyu descended from the sky and accurately located Su Yang sitting in the truck bed.

"Our little scout is back! Su Yang, quickly ask Xiao Yu how the battle is going at the front!" Luo Pojun urged Su Yang.

The political commissar, the deputy regimental commander, and more than a dozen other battalion-level officers also stared expectantly at Su Yang and Xiao Yu.

After these battles, Su Yang and Xiao Yu have become the darlings of Sanwu'er.

Every day, whether it was before marching or before a battle, Xiaoyu acted as a reconnaissance plane, finding out the enemy's strengths and weaknesses in advance.

Because the peninsula is narrow, only two or three hundred kilometers long, Xiaoyu could also take the opportunity to check on the movements of friendly forces.

The gyrfalcon prefers cold weather to heat. For my country, the gyrfalcon is a migratory bird; its home is actually in Siberia.

They only come to the "warm" northeastern region to escape the cold when Siberia experiences extremely cold weather.

So even though the temperature on the Korean Peninsula battlefield has dropped to minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius, it's just right for Xiaoyu; flying is like taking a leisurely drive.

Sometimes, on a whim, it can even fly three or four hundred kilometers north and then come back.

Su Yang and Xiao Yu then put on another performance of "talking and gesturing," and after they finished, he laughed and said, "Bring me the map!"

The guard, Wei Han, quickly handed over a rough map of the peninsula.

The main cadres of the 352nd Regiment all gathered around.

"Is this where we are now?"

Su Yang pointed to a spot slightly below the "ball court" landmark on the map.

"That's right!" Luo Pojun nodded.

"But to our southeast, two friendly forces are already advancing towards these two locations!"

Su Yang pointed to the two places, "Junyu-ri" and "Sansu-ri".

"What?!" All the cadres looked on in disbelief!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Luo Pojun waved his hand wildly, pointing at the map, and said, "We only have the 38th Army to the east, while to the south we face the enemy's 2nd Division, 1st Cavalry Division, and Turkish Brigade. To the west, the 39th Army is tied down by the enemy's 25th Division. What makes the 38th Army dare to advance diagonally into Sansuoli?"

The political commissar nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right. If they go like that, they could easily be surrounded and annihilated by two enemy divisions and a brigade. Without friendly support, they'll definitely be wiped out."

Su Yang didn't rush to speak.

Luo Pojun and the political commissar's concerns were not unfounded.

After fighting for almost a month, he was no longer a military novice.

Although it sounds like our army-level unit is fighting against two enemy divisions and a brigade, it makes it seem like we have more people than the enemy.

Actually, they are not the same thing at all.

Our army has about 40,000 men, while the enemy's division has about 20,000 men. Adding the Turkish brigade, the two divisions and one brigade already exceed the number of our army-level units.

Moreover, the enemy's heavy weaponry is several times greater than ours, and they also have air superiority. Therefore, under normal circumstances and with the same number of troops, the enemy's firepower is far superior to ours.

Because of that five-star general's erratic actions, the enemy forces have been somewhat bewildered for the past two months.

Although it is now our side that is counterattacking, the enemy has been in a rout.

However, with the enemy's main force still intact and air support available, the chances of successfully encircling them are slim.

Although Su Yang wasn't a military enthusiast in his previous life, he had heard the place name "San Suoli" in some movies and TV dramas.

It seems we've won this battle!

Seeing the officers of the 352nd Regiment remain silent, Su Yang cautiously said, "I've heard that 'Big Tooth Commander' always likes to use unconventional tactics in battle. I don't think it's impossible?"

Everyone looked at Luo Pojun.

The truck continued south, and the passengers swayed and rocked along the mountain road, remaining silent throughout.

Finally, Luo Pojun punched the carriage hard.

"Friendly forces are flanking the enemy's rear. We can't afford to be so slow! Signalman, send a telegram to division headquarters saying that my 352nd Regiment has decided to intensify the pursuit and requesting the assistance of the 353rd Regiment on the right flank to jointly pursue the enemy's 2nd Division, so as to relieve the pressure on our friendly forces flanking the enemy's rear!"

"Yes!" The messenger began sending a telegram.

Twenty minutes later.

"Reporting to the regimental commander! Orders from headquarters! The entire 118th Division is ordered to continue pursuing the enemy's 2nd Division southward!"

Luo Pojun and the others' eyes narrowed!

It turned out to be a direct order from the military headquarters, so it seems the actions of the friendly forces in the east were probably orchestrated by the leaders of the Volunteer Army headquarters.

He stopped hesitating, his booming voice unusually clear in the howling wind, carrying a resolute determination: "All regiments, listen up! Target—Enemy 2nd Infantry Division! Full speed ahead! Supply company prioritizes ammunition supply! Seriously wounded soldiers will be escorted by the 7th Company of the 3rd Battalion; lightly wounded soldiers who can walk should keep up; those who fall behind... do your best to help them, but we must not allow any one person to slow down the entire army! We must be like a sharp dagger, stabbing fiercely into the enemy's vitals, buying time for our brother units to the east!"

"Yes!" The thunderous response instantly drowned out the sound of the wind.

The nearly 3,000 soldiers of the 352nd Regiment seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and the fatigue from the battle of Liudong Village not long ago was swept away, their eyes sharp as eagles.
