Day and night, before Du Qiwei had finished cleaning up the mess, the vicious battle broke out again. [Full text reading]

China's naval aviation units have taken full part in the war, and all air forces have been dispatched to seize air supremacy at all costs, indicating that an astonishing vicious war is about to break out.

In the early morning of the 26th, the news of the capture of Qinghe by the Airborne 163 Brigade disrupted the rhythm of Duqiway.

The second round of the offensive has finally begun!

When China sent airborne troops to attack Qinghe, Duchway was both surprised and shocked.

To his surprise, Qinghe was less than 1 meter away from Pingsan, where the 2 incomplete infantry divisions of the 1st Army of the ROK Army were stationed! No matter how unbearable the South Korean army is, a counterattack can drive the airborne troops out of Qinghe. The Navy did strike back, but the result was exactly the opposite of what Duchway had predicted. The troops of the 163 Airborne Brigade are still landing one after another, and two infantry battalions of the South Korean army are attacking. Soon after, the ROK infantry was "counterattacked" by the Chinese airborne troops at a distance of about 5 kilometers from Qinghe, and the ROK infantry, which had no armored force to cover, was quickly routed by the "armored force" composed of airborne combat vehicles.

Two battalions of nearly 600 South Korean troops, less than one of whom fled back to Pyongsan.

What shocked him was that the Chinese Army put on a posture of eating hundreds of thousands of South Korea-US coalition troops in the Western Theater in one go. All the South Korean and American troops sandwiched between Pyongyang and Cheonghak had only two routes south, one from Cheonghak to Kaesong via Gimcheon, and the other to Haeju via Sariwon. Unless the South Korean and American forces were ready to board the ship in Haeju, they would still have to pass through Qinghe to reach Kaesong. Without air supremacy, retreating by sea is not only risky but also inefficient. The withdrawal of the 1st Panzer Division from Haeju was not south, but the withdrawal of hundreds of thousands of South Korean troops could not be done. If the U.S. forces were to withdraw alone, the ROK 1st Army would likely surrender to the squadron after resisting as best it could. Without the Korean army, who will guard Kaesong and who will guard the 38th parallel?

At the moment of crisis, Dudgway first thought of the only reserve in his hands: the 1st Air Assault Division.

The remaining strength of the 1 Air Assault Division from the battlefield is about equivalent to 1 Air Assault Brigade, and less than 1 helicopter remains, which can deliver the entire strength and equipment of about 1 Air Assault Battalion at a time.

Dudgway was not worried about the morale and morale of the 1st Air Assault Brigade. It was used in the Normandy landings in World War II, Operation Market Garden, and the Battle of the Bulge. Later, they repeatedly made great achievements in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Haitian War, the Gulf War, the Afghanistan War, the Iraq War, and the Iran War. The 1C11th Air Assault Division has never lacked the morale and courage to fight bravely. Just like the coat of arms of the division. The 1st Air Assault Division is an eagle that never fears the enemy.

The question is. Duchway had to consider the actual situation.

The Chinese Air Force has already mastered ground air supremacy in the area north of the 38th parallel. Not to mention low-altitude assault units. Even ground forces. Attack without air supremacy. The results are unimaginable.

After consulting with Tottenham. Duchway gave up his plan to have the 1st Air Assault Division attack Qinghe Land.

Du Qiwei was faced with a very difficult choice: he could either break out with the South Korean army with a 10% hope. Either let the 1st Panzer Division quickly go to Haizhou.

As a competently general. Dudgway did not immediately think about it.

It was not that Du Qiwei took pity on the Korean soldiers, he had no intention of saving the Korean army from the beginning, and even blamed the Korean army's arrogance for the defeat. Du Qiwei knew that he was not God and could not save Korea. In his opinion, even if God comes, he will not be able to save South Korea.

The failure to allow the 1st Panzer Division to retreat was mainly due to long-term considerations.

The ROK 1st Army must not collapse quickly, at least for a few days on the Hwangjuchuan defensive line. Without the 1st Army, not to mention the inability to hold Kaesong, it would not even be able to hold the 38th parallel to the north of Er.

At this point, even if Duchway is not a politician, he can guess that the president is preparing for the withdrawal of troops.

The reason is very simple: if the United States does not plan to withdraw its troops, it will immediately send three divisions of the 8th Army stationed in Guam to stabilize the precarious situation of the war.

The withdrawal is not something that can be achieved overnight and will take plenty of time.

It is impossible to evacuate a large amount of materials and equipment, tens of thousands of military families, and US citizens stranded in South Korea without 10 days and half a month. Because the South Korean and American forces were defeated faster than anyone expected, including Du Qiwei, many preparations for a retreat were not in place.

It will not be able to withdraw for a while and a half, so it can only hold its position.

Duchway had to leave the 1st Panzer Division behind, but the 1st Panzer Division's ground deployment was adjusted. In addition to continuing to hold the left flank of the ROK 1st Army, the 1st Armored Division transferred 1 brigade to the south overnight to assist the ROK Army's troops in attacking Cheonghak, and striving to open the road to Kaesong as soon as possible; At least two battalions were sent to Haizhou, and they arrived in Haizhou before dawn on the 26th to take over the defense of the port area from the ROK army.

This adjustment proved that Dudgway was prepared for the worst.

Subsequently, the arrival of E12A made Du Qiwei secretly rejoice.

I have to admit that the performance of the E12 "Battlefield Joint Surveillance Aircraft" is very good, much more advanced than the KZ199, which belongs to the same model. In 11

The hovering E12 is capable of displaying ground armor within a kilometer range of 350 kilometers to recognize the nature of various vehicles. In other words, the 611th Army had just left Sunchon and had not yet reached Pyongseong, north of Pyongyang, when it was spotted by E12, which was hovering over the Mongu Islands in the southeast of the Korean Peninsula. The actions of the other two southbound troops also fell into the eyes of E112A.

Accurate and timely battlefield information provides the most powerful support for commanders to make decisions.

Based on the battlefield intelligence provided by the E12, Dudgway came to a conclusion that he was very reluctant to admit: the 7th Infantry Division, which was advancing westward, could not have crossed the central mountains of the peninsula before the squadron, and it was very likely that it would encounter the squadron on the march.

Before Dudgway could come to his senses, another piece of news made him completely "desperate".

The squadron launched a large-scale offensive not only on the western battlefield, but also on the western theater. The armored forces stationed at Jeongpyeong moved south along the coastal road, and advanced south along the road line east of the Central Mountain Range with the two armored clusters of the attack, aiming directly at Wonsan and Jinhwa north of the 38th parallel.

This is not a campaign-level offense, it's a strategy-level offense!

If the squadron captures Jinhwa, hundreds of thousands of South Korean-American troops on the eastern battlefield will have "no way home."

Dudgway was shocked.

In order to swallow all the South Korea-US forces north of the 38th parallel in one go, the Chinese Army must dispatch at least 8 to 9 armies, for a total of 300,000 troops. I have to admit that Du Qiwei's judgment was very accurate, and at that time, the Republic Army did invest the strength of 7 integrated armies and 7 brigades, with a total scale equivalent to 9 integrated armies and a combat strength of nearly 300,000.

There is a lot of investment, and there is a big return requirement.

If it can really eat more than 800,000 South Korea-US troops north of the 38th parallel in one go, the Chinese Army will create a miracle and record in the history of war, because in the Battle of Kiev, the largest enemy in World War II, the German army only annihilated less than 700,000 Soviet troops.

Whether the Chinese Army has this ability or not, Du Qiwei does not dare to make any assumptions.

By this time of the war, the Chinese Army had already created many unbelievable miracles, and one more would not be surprising.

The reality before Dugway was brutal: the 7th Infantry Division would stay and die, or break out alone?

Unlike adjusting the deployment of the 1st Armored Division, Duchway did not let the 7th Infantry Division stay, but immediately ordered the 7th Infantry Division to turn to Jinhua and be sure to occupy Jinhua before the Chinese Army.

According to Duchway's estimates, the vanguard of the 7th Infantry Division would reach Jinhua at noon on the 26th.

No matter how fast the Chinese army's ground assault was, it could only reach Jinhua on the morning of the 27th, when the 7th Infantry Division had already taken control of Jinhua and built a defensive position.

The ROK 2nd Army reacted quickly and did not insist on going north.

After the 7th Infantry Division turned, the ROK 2nd Army followed suit. Because the ROK army's marching speed could not catch up with the 7th Infantry Division, and it had already gone north for tens of kilometers when it turned, there was a gap of nearly 1C0 kilometers wide between the ROK Army's 2nd Army and the 7th Infantry Division.

This gap once worried Dudgway, because it was a flaw left for the squadron.

Thinking that the Chinese Army has just airdropped an airborne brigade to Qinghe, it is difficult to immediately airdrop a second airborne brigade; The ROK-US coalition forces destroyed most of the infrastructure when they retreated, and the bases in northern North Korea controlled by the Chinese Army were not fully operational, and it was difficult for the Chinese Army's low-altitude assault units to penetrate deep into the area south of Wonsan; Duchway was a little relieved.

Before dawn on the 26th, Duchway had been waiting for news from the 1st Panzer Division.

In Dugway's opinion, the 1st Panzer Division was in a much more difficult situation than the 7th Infantry Division. As long as the 7th Infantry Division arrives at Jinhua on time, it can withdraw to the south of the 38th parallel at any time, and use the defensive positions that South Korea has painstakingly managed for decades to resist the rapid southward movement of the Chinese Army.

A single assault of hundreds of kilometers, even if the Chinese army can reach the 38th parallel, it is the end of the crossbow.

Before dawn, Du Qiwei received "good news" that the 1st Armored Division sent troops to Haeju took over the housing work in the port area from the South Korean army.

While they were having breakfast, Pibrooke received news that the Dybious fleet was on its way to the western Pacific.

In a good mood and a good appetite, Duchway also ate a few more slices of bread.

Before the food was digested, a piece of "bad news" completely disrupted Du Qiwei's deployment.

The Chinese Army airdropped airborne troops in Kimhwa, and the South Korean infantry battalion guarding Kimhwa was quickly routed.

Before Dudgway could react, other news followed.

Rabbit Hill and Ibri were suddenly attacked by the Chinese Army's airborne troops, and the South Korean troops on the defensiveness barely resisted and retreated in a hurry.

Du Qiwei couldn't believe it at all, and immediately asked E12A to rejudge the situation of Jinhua, Rabbit Mountain and Ibri.

The news is conclusive, and the three southbound passages on the eastern battlefield were all occupied by the Chinese army, and the South Korean army was unable to make any effective counterattack.

The passage of the 7th Infantry Division to the south was blocked!

Continue to ask for a monthly pass, ask for d
