Starting from 1950

All the officers of the 114th Division looked grave.

Now, each unit on the front line has its own mission: the 40th Army is blocking the 2nd Infantry Division from advancing north, the 39th Army is containing the 25th Infantry Division from the west, and the 38th Army is flanking the 1st Cavalry Division from the rear.

Now, both the Turkish Brigade and the 2nd Infantry Division have fled!

In other words, the main force of the 38th Army, after its detour, had to face the breakout of three enemy units on its own!

Everyone realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Yes, Commander Luo, how did you determine that the main force of the 2nd Infantry Division had fled towards Kunuri?" Commander 340 continued to press.

Luo Pojun turned to look at Su Yang.

The officers in the command post also focused their attention on Su Yang and Xiao Yu on his shoulder.

A teenager, and a bird.

This combination is somewhat strange, but Luo Pojun brought them along when he came to see them, which obviously has a deeper meaning.

"Reporting to my superiors! I am Su Yang, a pest control officer from the security department of Shenzhou Limin Flour Factory! This is my partner, Xiao Yu!" Su Yang straightened his back, gave a standard military salute, and spoke in a clear voice.

Xiaoyu also made a timely "ga" sound, as if in response.

The leaders nodded, their eyes filled with surprise, but none of them spoke.

"Commander Zhai, it's like this, the reason we've been fighting so smoothly lately is largely due to Su Yang and Xiao Yu's contributions..."

Luo Pojun recounted how, after Su Yang joined the 352nd Regiment as an unofficial member, they gained the upper hand in every battle thanks to Xiao Yu.

The officers of the 114th Division looked at each other in bewilderment.

Should we use gyrfalcons as scouts?

Detecting enemy aircraft tens or hundreds of kilometers in advance?

A 12-year-old sharpshooter with perfect aim?

In several battles, hundreds of enemies were killed?

More than ten enemy trucks and tanks were destroyed.

Are you sure you're not talking about a story from a comic book?

"Ahem! I swear on my military honor that everything I've said is true, not a single word is exaggerated!"

Luo Pojun made a solemn promise to everyone.

Su Yang stood tall and proud, facing more than a dozen pairs of burning gazes without flinching.

"Good! Good lad! Good eagle!" Commander Zhai nodded, his admiration undisguised. "No wonder you were able to fight your way here. It seems the 40th Army has gained another lucky general!"

"You flatter me, sir," Su Yang quickly replied. "It's all thanks to the regimental commander's skillful command and the comrades' valiant fighting."

"Alright, now's not the time for modesty." Commander Zhai waved his hand, drawing everyone's attention back to the map. "Ga Ri Ri has been captured, but this is only the first step. The headquarters has given a death order: we must take San Suo Li before the enemy, at all costs, to completely block the enemy's retreat on the western front! Cut off their retreat, and trap them like dogs!"

"But now there's a problem!" He glanced at Luo Pojun and Su Yang.

He didn't blame the 352nd Regiment for fighting too fiercely, which led to the 2nd Infantry Division's rapid defeat. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "The battlefield is ever-changing. It's pointless for our 114th Division to hold Gariling now. I order! Leave one battalion here to clean up the battlefield, and the rest of you will advance towards Junyu-ri and Sansuoli!"

"Yes, sir!" All the officers of the 114th Division saluted in unison.

"Old Luo! Do you want to come with our 114th Division?" Commander Zhai asked.

Luo Pojun stood up straight with a "whoosh," saluted, and shouted, "All officers and soldiers of the 352nd Regiment, obey Commander Zhai's orders!"

"Alright! Pass the order down: in five minutes, everyone except the battalion left to guard the area will begin a forced march towards Gunuri!"

......

Military orders are absolute.

The 352nd Regiment had just experienced the Battle of Wild Wolf Valley and a forced march, and the 114th Division had just finished the Battle of Gariling. The extremely exhausted soldiers had less than half an hour to catch their breath before being mobilized again by the whistle to regroup.

No one complained; everyone was clear about the mission they were entrusted with.

The good news is that there is a main road from Gariling to Sansuoli, and the seized trucks can be put to use.

The engine roared to life, and heavy machine guns, mortars, and ammunition boxes were quickly loaded onto the vehicle.

Slightly wounded soldiers and those with slightly weaker physical strength were also arranged to board the vehicles to conserve their energy.

The remaining soldiers gritted their teeth, gulped down several mouthfuls of icy snow water, checked their weapons and ammunition, and then followed the taillights of the truck, plunging headlong into the even colder and darker mountain road.

The forced march has begun again!

More than 10,000 people walked dozens of miles south from Gari Ridge and finally arrived at the north side of Junyuli.

Scouts reported that the enemy's 2nd Infantry Division appeared to have spent the night in Gunuri.

There's also good news: dawn is approaching.

As soon as it gets light, Xiaoyu will be able to take off for reconnaissance, and the 114th Division and the 352nd Regiment will once again have reconnaissance aircraft!

Su Yang couldn't wait any longer, and as soon as the sky began to lighten, he released Xiao Yu into the air.

"I'll have Xiaoyu check where the 113th Division is," he said to Luo Pojun and Division Commander Zhai.

Commander Zhai and the other officers of the 114th Division were seeing Xiaoyu's reconnaissance for the first time, and they were all quite curious.

"Then tell everyone to rest where they are!" Commander Zhai ordered.

Logically speaking, people are most sleepy before dawn, and the enemy in Gunuri is already very close, so now is a good opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

However, if their attack causes the enemy to escape prematurely, and the 113th Division, which had been flanking the enemy, fails to arrive in time, then this trap, which had been set up for so long, will be completely wasted.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. After five or six hours of marching at night, everyone was exhausted and only held on by sheer willpower.

Everyone cherishes this brief respite, knowing that they will have to fight tooth and nail next!

Half an hour later, the east became brighter and brighter, and Xiaoyu returned.

Su Yang and Xiao Yu have become masters of performing dialogue.

After putting on a show for the 114th Division, Su Yang announced to them, "The 113th Division is still ten kilometers away from San Suo Li!"

"call!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The 113th Division's task was much more difficult than theirs.

They covered more than 70 kilometers in 14 hours, all along mountain roads, and the equipment and supplies had to be carried by manpower.

The 114th Division and the 352nd Regiment not only took the main road, but also had trucks to help transport their equipment.

Throughout the march, they were constantly worried about their brothers in the 113th Division.

"Well done, 113th Division!"

The 113th Division is 10 kilometers away from Sansuo-ri, while Jun-yu-ri is 18 kilometers away from Sansuo-ri. Even if the enemy were to set off now, it would be too late.

Their mission was to launch a frontal attack at Gunuri and hold off the enemy!

Commander Zhai pumped his fist, took a deep breath, and ordered, "All officers, immediately notify the soldiers to prepare for battle. All mortars, grenades, and explosive charges in each unit must be ready. The battle will begin in 20 minutes. Hold the enemy at Gun-uri and fight them to the death!"

"yes!"

Su Yang's expression was somewhat complicated.

He only told Xiaoyu part of the information she sent him.

According to Xiaoyu, the circuitous 113th Division is almost at Sansuoli.

But they... are in very poor condition.

After more than ten hours of forced marching, many people were exhausted. Some coughed up blood from exhaustion, while others collapsed to the ground and never got up again.

While feeling respect, Su Yang was also somewhat worried. When the enemy in Junyu-ri was defeated and fled to Sansu-ri, could the 113th Division, in its current state, intercept the enemy?
