High-ranking officials on the United States side, including the commander of the 1st Marine Division, Smith,
never imagined that in this freezing weather of minus 30° to even 40°, there would be an ambush of 100,000 troops of the Republic Volunteer Army.
From the perspective of the United States Federation,
there would be no enemies at Changjin Lake, which is why they confidently spread all the troops of the 1st Marine Division across the area.
But unexpectedly, over 100,000 troops were lying in ambush here.
Even this massive army had reached the mountains around their camps without being detected.
Caught off guard,
all the troops fell into chaos.
The Volunteer Army's tactic of splitting the forces caused the entire 1st Marine Division in Changjin Lake to come under attack.
The chaos at the United States Federation's 1st Marine Division headquarters at Xia Jie Yu Li resulted in their inability to command.
No sooner was one attack reported, another attack was reported.
