Chiwei arrived in Chuncheon at noon on the 25th and went to Daejeon in the afternoon!!

Chuncheon is still the location of the South Korean-US coalition command. In order to avoid disputes with South Korean generals, Peebrook established the US military command in South Korea in Daejeon.

Peebrook recalled Duchway, just preparing to throw the mess to the newly promoted Marine Lieutenant General.

For Duchewei, adding a star is not necessarily a good thing.

Faced with the mess left by Pibrook, let alone Duqiwei, even if Li Qiwei crawled out of the coffin, he would be helpless and helpless. Duqiwei believed in his ability, but did not believe in the morale and fighting spirit of the US military. When Pibrook left the headquarters, he clearly told Duqiwei that if he could fight, he would fight, and if he could not fight, he would try to let the soldiers go out of the battlefield alive.

There are two ways to survive, one is retreat and the other is surrender.

Although the Chinese team has the glorious tradition of "preferential treatment of prisoners of war", Duqiwei's grandfather enjoyed the "holiday" of the Chinese team in the Korean War in the 1950s, Duqiwei would not easily choose the latter. Even among the US military "good at" surrendering, surrendering to the enemy with combat capabilities is the greatest shame.

Duchway was very annoyed. In his eyes, Pibrook was a very indedicated soldier.

Before China joined the war, Duchway repeatedly warned Pibrook that he must attach great importance to the actions of the China ** team and must not be lucky. Pibrook, who was in the local area, did not take any effective actions, and did not even remind Bauman, Hekel (the commander of the 7th Infantry Division) and Tottenham (the commander of the 1st Air Assault Division), and tens of thousands of American soldiers were like a group of headless flies, following the Korean army step by step into the abyss.

After the Marines landed in Yuanshan, Ducheway first "persuaded" York and took command of the Marines.

Overall, the Yuanshan landing battle was not successful.

According to the land combat plan formulated by Duqiwei, before the Marine Corps landed, the 1st Air Assault Division was responsible for seizing the critically important port area and ensuring that the port infrastructure used to unload heavy equipment was not damaged. The actual situation was very different. When the Marine Corps landed, the 1c11th Air Assault Division was still busy cleaning up the peripheral battlefield. It did not invade the port area according to Duqiwei's plan, resulting in the port infrastructure being destroyed by the Korean army. The Marine Corps delayed the whole day in Yuanshan!

Judging from the battle behind, delaying in Yuanshan for a day has become the source of the defeat of the US military.

Imagine that if the Marines successfully landed and advance northward according to the Duchiwei combat plan. Before the Republic's Army entered North Korea, the US Marines had already captured the crucial Jiangjie. Even if the US military could not defeat the 54th Army in the Jiangjie, the 37th Army and the 77th Army could still block the Republic's Army's advancement on the Tulu River. They could buy enough time for attacking the Wu Laodi troops in the south. Then steadily retreat south. Fortify defenses in Yongxing north of Yuanshan and gain a foothold on the Longxing River. Even if the US military could not win on the Korean battlefield, they would eventually retreat south. They could also buy enough time for the Korean and American coalition forces in the eastern battlefield. They used hundreds of thousands of Korean troops to defend the 38th parallel.

The difference is 24~hours. The results are completely different.

In fact, it is not that there is no room for salvation. Duchwie also made the best efforts.

After the Chinese Air Force joined the war, Du Qiwei proposed to focus on the eastern battlefield in the name of the commander of the US Marine Corps at the meeting of commanders of the South Korean and US coalition forces. The South Korean and US coalition forces (actually the 2nd Army of the South Korean Army and the 7th Infantry Division) temporarily gave up the combat operations of encircling and annihilated the Korean troops on the eastern battlefield, and sent more reserves to consolidate the rear defense line, and used Wonsan Port to transport combat materials. The main combat troops went north with the Marine Corps.

It can be seen from this that Du Qiwei had a premonition that the Korean and American coalition forces would be defeated quickly.

According to his combat plan, the two Marine Divisions and the 1c11th Air Assault Division concentrated all their forces northward and handed them over to the South Korean and US coalition forces (actually mainly the 7th Infantry Division). As expected, when the main force of the Republic's Army entered North Korea, the US military had already advanced the front line near the Jiangjie, with at least 20,000 US troops and 50,000 Korean troops in the rear.

Even if the 153rd Brigade was airborne and captured the five elders, it would last for up to 24 hours. No matter how bad the battle was, the Korean and American coalition forces could steadily retreat southward and eventually gained a foothold on the 38th Line.

The actual situation once again went against Duchwit's plan.

When the Marine Corps headed north, the 2nd Army Army Group and the 7th Infantry Division of the US Army were still encircling and annihilated the North Korean army south of Wonsan. The commander of the army commander insisted that the rear should be "cleaned" first, and the logistics supply line should be guaranteed before it could go north in large numbers. Although the arrangement of the commander of the South Korean Army was reasonable, the logistics supply line was related to the combat operations of the South Korean and US coalition forces, from the actual situation, the Chinese Air Force did not bomb non-combat ships. By using sea transportation, the South Korean and US coalition forces could obtain material supplies from Wonsan Port and did not need to pay special attention to the land supply line.

When the Republic Army joined the war, the 2nd Army of the South Korean Army and the 7th Division of the US Army did not even reach Wonsan!

From Yuanshan to Hamxing, there are only three battalions of the 1c11th Air Assault Division in the defense zone with a depth of nearly 1 kilometer!

The Korean and American coalition forces have not gone north for a long time, and the direct consequence is that they should have been with them.

The division went north to the ground and the Air Assault Division had to stop in Hamxing to defend the logistics supply line. Nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers and crucial low-altitude assault forces were missing, the Marine Corps' advance speed was greatly slowed down; when the 1st Marine Division was besieged, the 1c11th Air Assault Division failed to play any role; after the 7711th Fleet of the Fast Resistance Brigade captured Xianzhou, the 1c11th Air Assault Division not only failed to launch a counterattack, but was blocked by the 7711th Fleet of the Fast Resistance Brigade during its retreat, losing nearly 200 helicopters, which had a serious impact on the retreat work of the American troops in Hamxing and Xingnan.

When the war reaches this point, even if Duchewei has the ability to dominate the world, he will not be able to save tens of thousands of American soldiers.

At the end of the first battle, the troubles in front of Duchewi were even greater.

On the western battlefield, the South Korean army fought desperately to attack north, and was very swearing to stop until it defeated Pyongyang. Although Du Qiwei was a soldier, not a politician, he still understood the purpose of the South Korean army and knew that it was not the South Korean army generals who ordered the march, but the South Korean president living in the Blue House.

The capture of Pyongyang is of great significance and danger.

After taking command from Peebrook, the first thing Duchway did was to let Bowman stop moving forward and do a good job of retreating.

There is no doubt that Duqiwei is a very capable general.

On the way back to Daejeon, Du Qiwei sent a message through the headquarters to have a comprehensive understanding of the situation of the battle. The problem is clear and the danger is clear. The Chinese Army will not stop moving forward. The end of the first round of offense is the beginning of the second round of offense. In total, the main target of the second round of offense is the South Korean and American coalition forces south of Pyongyang, with the main purpose of "restoring" Pyongyang and opening the offensive channel to Seoul.

The Korean and American coalition forces on the western battlefield continued to go north, but they could only be dead!

The problem is, stopping is like sitting and waiting for death.

After giving the first order to Bowman, Duchewei, as the highest commander of the US military, issued several orders to Bowman, Heckel and Tottenham in succession.

The 1st Panzer Division cannot leave the South Korean army to retreat, because as long as the 1st Panzer Division retreats, the Chinese Army will attack the 1st South Korean Army. The retreating South Korean army will not only destroy the 1st Panzer Division in the retreat, but also block the passage of the 1st Panzer Division to the south, resulting in the annihilation of the entire Korean and American coalition forces on the western battlefield. There must be orderly and step-by-step retreat. According to this idea, Du Qiwei spoke with Kanze-xiao of the 1st Army, asking the South Korean army to set up defenses along the Huangzhou River after capturing Huangzhou, and prepare for war with the Chinese Army.

This communication was not completely successful nor completely failed.

Kanazawa Xiao said that the South Korean army would definitely march into Pyongyang and strive to conquer Pyongyang on the night of the 26th. However, the South Korean army would not go north with all its might, and would leave the main force of the 1st Army in Huangzhou and deploy defensive positions along Huangzhouchuan.

Du Qiwei had no other choice but to order the 1st Armored Division to attack Nanpu immediately and defend the flanks of the Korean army.

Compared with the western battlefield, there is more trouble on the eastern battlefield.

After Gate surrendered, the Chinese Army quickly captured Dingping, south of Xianzhou, and prepared for the southward journey. Within dozens of kilometers south of Yuanshan, there was no US combat force!

The guarding of Won-san is obviously beyond the capabilities of the Korean and American coalition forces, but the consequences of losing Won-san are even more serious.

After ordering Hekel to lead the 7th Infantry Division to retreat south to build a defensive position south of the 38th parallel, Du Qiwei had a phone call with General Zhang Ruinan, the commander of the 2nd Army of the South Korean Army, and asked the 2nd Army to send at least one infantry division to guard Yuanshan and deploy at least the division's defensive forces from Yuanshan to Xinping line.

Zhang Ruinan's answer disappointed Du Qiwei because Liu Zongchun had issued an order to continue to go north and create opportunities for the 1st Army to capture Pyongyang.

Unlike Kanazawa Xiao, Zhang Ruinan decided to execute the president's orders without fail.

What is the difference between going north at this time and dying?

Du Qiwei didn't care whether the Korean army was dead or alive. In his eyes, no matter how much the Korean army suffered, it deserved it. The question is, who will guard the defense line after the 2nd Army headed north? If the 7th Infantry Division retreated to the south of the 38th parallel in one breath, the Chinese Army would rush to the 38th parallel with the defeated South Korean and American forces, and would dispatch rapid assault troops to detour to the rear of the western battlefield, capture Kaicheng, and cut off the return of the Korean and American coalition forces on the western battlefield.

As a last resort, Duqiwei asked the 7th Infantry Division to retreat south steadily, try to get close to the western battlefield as much as possible.

The infantry division's maneuverability was very limited, and Duchiwei had to let Tottenham's 1st Air Assault Division take up the battle again and head to Kaicheng as fast as possible to consolidate Kaicheng's defense.

This deployment shows Duqiwei's outstanding talent as a general.

It can be said that if Du Qiwei had several US military advisors at that time, let alone Pei Chengyi, even if Xiang Yinghui personally went to the front line to command, he might not have been able to gain much advantage.

The problem is not Du Qiwei, but the Korean and American coalition forces! (To be continued,)
