Just as the First Division of the Land War was about to withdraw from Jieyuli, Commander Smith suddenly heard fierce gunfire sounds on the right wing battlefield, mixed with the dull sound of artillery repeated bombardment of various calibers. At this time, in order to withstand the repeated attacks of the Chinese army, Commander Smith, who had been in a state of great difficulty, suddenly remembered that in order to defend a strategic location like Jieyuli, he sent a company to guard a mountain on the right wing a few days ago.

This is a position that must not be lost. Once this mountain is lost, the Chinese artillery can stand high, look at the entire Jieyuli, and shoot shells into their arsenal. If this company had not fought to the death and resisted the attacks of the Chinese army one after another, Jieyuli had already turned into a sea of ​​fire under the attack of the Chinese army's artillery.

There were five thousand officers and soldiers of the First Land War Division who were ready to go and were about to break through ten times the blockade of the Chinese army. On the battlefield on the right wing, there were a bloody battle for several days and nights, and it was likely that they had been broken and broken. God knew that there would be several more living companies. Putting these two weights in front of any person can quickly measure the difference in weight. In studying the Chinese Sun Tzu's Art of War, Commander Smith even remembered the idiom "a hero cut off his arm".

In my heart, the instructor told them the meaning of "a hero cut off his arm" that the instructor told them. The Division Commander Smith, who was considered by General Almond, "lack of the strong temperament of a soldier", suddenly flashed a trace of gold and gravel in his eyes. He turned his head suddenly and stared at the First Regiment of the First Army Division, who was standing in front of him, united with Lewis, and ordered: "I will give you two battalions and three hours to grab that company back!"

Commander Lewis did not speak. He came to this day in World War II, baptisms of wars. However,... the price he paid for was far more than a company when he was surrounded by wars. On the grounds of rapid change, a minute could determine the success or failure of a unit, a legion, or even a battle, not to mention the delay of three hours?!

"The First Division of the Land Warfare is not me, Smith, but all of us." Commander Smith looked around the audience. At this moment, his words were really loud. "I can't guarantee that I can take you all home. This is the battlefield. As soldiers, we should have been awakened to death. However, I think it is absolutely not a reason to abandon anyone, and to abandon the lives of a few people for the sake of the lives of the majority. In my eyes, this is also selfish!"

Pay attention to overall interests. Once conflict occurs, individuals are required to obey the collective and thus gain overall cohesion of the Chinese troops.

Pay attention to personal rights and interests, allow the personality to be displayed, have the courage and romantic style of Western cowboys, and have a strong adventurous spirit. Once forced into a desperate situation, the American army will burst out with the most powerful combat power.

These are two different worlds in Asia and Europe. Due to the influence of cultural traditions over hundreds or even thousands of years, they all have different concepts and implementation standards. These concepts and standards may not be explicitly stipulated by law, but have become a moral standard that restricts people's daily behavior. Both of these moral standards have their own correct starting points and their own theoretical basis.

As for who is more correct... this is not a soldier on the battlefield, and it needs to be distinguished!

Commander Lewis still didn't say anything. He just straightened his body. Facing Commander Smith, who was fifty-seven years old but still active on the front line of the battlefield, he paid a serious salute to him.

When the Lewis regiment walked away, several officers closest to him clearly saw that in the eyes of the Lewis regiment, there was a crystal clear thing that was constantly beating gently.

"I am the First Marine Division, Captain Lewis, the First Regiment." Commander Lewis, who was authorized by Commander Smith's maximum command, called the Aircraft Carrier Group Command. He sucked his breath gently with his nose, looked at the combat map paved in front of him, and said word by word: "I ask for support. I ask you to send all the bombers and fighters that can be sent, and use the most dense and uninterrupted cover firepower to carry out three-hour continuous bombing, completely cutting off all possible attacks by the Chinese army!"

In just three hours, from the aircraft carriers of the USS Barrie, Philippines, Sicily, Barie and Wright, there were countless fighter jets, and bombers, and bombers from the US Fifth Air Force, all emerged from all directions.

God knows how many tons of ammunition have been dumped by these fighters and bombers on the Gama Plain. As all Chinese volunteers understand, daytime is a paradise for the US Air Force! They used tens of thousands of tons of ammunition to create life isolation belts on the Gama Plain to cover Commander Lewis and successfully snatched the company stationed on the high ground and had been crippled.

The commanders and soldiers of the Chinese Volunteer Army also knew that at night, the US Air Force would no longer be able to exert their firepower advantages due to sight issues. At that time, it was when they attacked the First Land Division with all their strength and completely wiped out this well-equipped and well-trained American force.

Commander Smith certainly understood what the commanders of the Chinese army were thinking, and Commander Smith must admit that they were indeed not comparable to the Chinese army in terms of night battles and close combat.

"Don't bother with the damn night, and don't talk to me about what it is at that time. How difficult is air support? If you can't provide support to the 1st Land War Division at night, none of us can go back alive! For the 5,000 children of our 1st Land War Division can return to their homes alive, and for the 5,000 families that have not yet been broken, please give me yours!"

Fighting, the most tragic battle, facing a battle of life and death, is undoubtedly a touchstone for soldiers. Smith, a man who was identified by General Almond as "lack of the strong temperament of a soldier", burst out at this time the brilliant light of a hero.

It was said that he was moved by the request of Commander Smith or respecting Commander Smith, on that night, the US Air Force was really crazy.

All carrier-based fighters on the eight aircraft carriers, all fighters and bombers that the Fifth Air Force can deploy and provide fire support, are all out.

It was on this night that the US Air Force broke the practice of never providing firepower support to the opposing troops at night. They threw tens of thousands of flares into the air, and flares drew a white light in the air, cutting through the dark sky, and illuminating the entire sky and earth into a piece of day with this highest price!

It was between such a sky and earth that the Chinese army that launched an attack on the 1st Landing Division was completely exposed to the eyes of the US Air Force pilots. It was under the repeated attacks of fighter jets and bombers, these Chinese soldiers, with the artillery of the 1st Landing Division, heavy machine guns and carbines, rushed from all directions like the tide of the 1st Landing Division, like the angry tide of the 1st Landing Division, and they rushed down from all directions in waves. Seeing them falling down in the airtight rain of bullets and the shrapnel splattering everywhere, but the soldiers behind them were walking on the blood of the ground and continued to charge against them in the loud charge. Every officer and soldier of the 1st Landing Division clearly understood that in the face of such a respectable enemy, if they did not have too strong air support, they would not have anyone who could break through the siege alive!

Even with such air firepower support, the First Land War Division still felt that it seemed to be trapped in a whirlpool that could not be extricated. When they finally retreated from Jieyuri to the first target, they traveled 18 kilometers and walked 38 hours, and averaged 500 meters per hour! And ahead of them, there was a longer and more difficult journey!

At 13:00 p.m. on December 11, 1950, the 1st US Army Division finally escaped from the cover of the Air Force, through Zhenxingli, through Zhenxingli.

At this time, the number of casualties of the First Land Division exceeded 4,000, and due to frostbite and other reasons, the non-combat personnel were reduced by more than 7,000. The entire unit had been basically destroyed.
