Across the Yalu River 跨过鸭绿江 Episode 26

Li Qiwei suggested that MacArthur install a phone to facilitate contact. MacArthur arrogantly said that MacArthur is not always available. MacArthur arrogantly proposed at the press conference that the results of the war would spread to China's coastal and inland areas. The reporters were shocked that he was going to declare war on China.

MacArthur's remarks completely disrupted Truman's plan. Truman swears about MacArthur's crazy plan. He wants to build a nuclear no man's land, which is forcing the US government to launch a nuclear war. Marshall proposed that MacArthur's command must be stopped immediately, but MacArthur was very influential in the Far East, but Truman, as president, believed that he was duty-bound.

MacArthur, who was reading the newspaper at home in Japan, heard the news of his dismissal from the radio, calling Washington a group of cowards. After China received such news, Mao Zedong asked Zhou Enlai to find out whether it was related to the stupid statement issued by MacArthur, in order to understand the attitude of the US government. At the same time, he asked Mr. Peng to call President Peng to launch the fifth battle ahead of schedule, defeating the US army on land and thwarting his plot to land at sea. Li Qiwei assumed the post of commander of the United Nations Army and ordered a telephone to be installed in the office immediately to facilitate contact. He then ordered the Eighth Army to stop the offensive, and he decided to use MacArthur's landing tactics.

The meeting of the fifth battle was held at the North Korean headquarters, and all the commanders and fighters of the Korean Corps participated in the meeting. President Peng emphasized that military defensive warfare is no longer advisable. Mobile warfare should be adopted. Politically, we must be prepared for long-term combat but strive for short-term combat. The enemy is likely to launch a landing and coordinated warfare on the Eastern Front. Launch the fifth battle as soon as possible, defending and attacking. Song Shilun raised his own question. The ammunition supply for the first batch of troops entering North Korea has not yet been put in place, and the construction of the rear transportation network is not perfect. It is a question of whether they can continue to fight. Han Xianchu told everyone that the enemy is now in a state of being exhausted, and our second batch of corps has added that this is just waiting for work. President Peng gave everyone confidence that this battle was mostly launched in mountainous terrain, and the enemy's mechanized heavy weapons could not go up the mountain, which was conducive to the combat defense of the volunteers. The soldiers of the Volunteer Army have strong willpower and cohesion that the enemy can't compare. He firmly believes that Chinese soldiers are the best soldiers in the world who can fight tough battles.

President Peng proposed the simultaneous use of strategic detours and tactical detours, and multi-line advancement to encircle and wipe out the enemy from the front and the side. The joining of the new corps has greater requirements for cooperation. Hong Xuezhi also proposed that each soldier must carry five days' worth of dry food. In order to prevent the landing battle from cutting off the supply engineers, the transportation lines must be repaired in time, and the road traffic must be kept smooth.

The fifth battle started, the Chinese army launched a full-line offensive, and the enemy's first line of defense has been broken. Li Qiwei ordered the troops to immediately retreat for twenty miles, using tanks and other mechanized equipment to transport soldiers to leave immediately, and if there is no time to retreat, they must give up. Although the speed of the Volunteers' advancement is very fast, the results are not ideal. Van Fleet is now the commander of the Korean battlefield. He completely obeyed Li Qiwei's tactical arrangements and still adopted the tactics of dragging the supply line. This time Peng always came prepared, he ordered the whole army to never attack before the supplies arrived.

In this battle, the strength and firepower of the Chinese army has become stronger, and Li Qiwei has also been more cautious. He will not rashly counterattack until the opponent's supplies are exhausted. He told Van Fleet that the White House agreed to increase air reinforcements and that there would be doubled planes flying to North Korea. Their task was to drag the Chinese army to consume supplies.

The Volunteers successfully attracted the main force of the U.S. military to the Western Front, and the focus of the second phase will be on the Eastern and Central Front to cut off the ties between the U.S. and South Korean forces. President Peng proposed to still pay attention to feints while preparing a large number of materials for crossing the river to fully attract the main force of the US military. Pay attention to hidden news and not find signs of troop moving eastward. Don't fall in love with war and complete the encirclement in a timely manner.

It is a pity that Li Qiwei still received information about the transfer of the volunteer army. He judged that the Chinese army would carry out an offensive on the eastern front and the target was Seoul. But because the attack time was unknown, Li Qiwei had to order to stick to Seoul and continue to bomb the rear of the volunteers. The number of car losses in the rear of the Volunteer Army is increasing day by day. The food and ammunition that cannot keep up with the front can only last for two or three days, and the troops can only withdraw more than 50 miles. President Peng proposed to retreat as soon as he saw it, and the movement defense allowed the troops to retreat to the north of the 38th parallel in an orderly manner.

The South Korean army was hit hard, Van Fleet proposed to immediately block the volunteers on the Eastern Front and send additional US troops to defend the flank. Facing the retreat of the volunteers, Van Fleet wanted to launch a counterattack across the board, but Li Qiwei suggested that the retreat was like a compression spring, and then there would be a stronger counterattack. Li Qiwei proposed that the task force should go northward under the cover of the plane to cut off the volunteers' rear supplies. As long as the lone army goes deep and captures Cheorwon, they can wipe out all the volunteers north of the 38th parallel. Van Fleet vowed that he would take Teorwon and win the final victory.

The U.S. army was advancing aggressively with tanks and was spotted by volunteers camouflaged by the roadside. The soldiers hurriedly reported the situation to their superiors.
