The Bright Sword of Changjin Lake becomes stronger

Inside the U.S. military headquarters

Van Fleet frowned and looked at the sand table in front of him, and said worriedly: "What on earth are these Chinese troops made of? It's unbelievable that they can have such strong combat effectiveness with such inferior equipment."

At this moment, the emergency situation on the front line made him anxious and worried.

At this moment, a US military officer walked over quickly and said in a panic: "General, we just received a report from the front line. A reinforced regiment led by Lawrence suffered a devastating blow from the Chinese army and almost the entire army was destroyed."

"what?"

Van Fleet couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise and asked: "How could an army of several thousand people be completely destroyed?"

The US military officer replied: "They were stubbornly blocked and could not break out at all. However, the main force of China arrived, surrounded them and launched a fierce attack. Our army could not resist it at all, so the troops behind were intercepted. , the whole army was destroyed."

"Fake~!"

Van Fleet angrily said: "Lawrence is a complete idiot, he is a sinner."

At this time, a brigadier general next to him said: "Commander, the enemy's main force is now all on the eastern front. Our troops on the eastern front are seriously insufficient."

"Now their offensive is so fierce. If this trend continues, the situation will probably get even worse."

Van Fleet fell silent. Although the old guy was furious, his reason told him that he must calm down now. The more it gets to this time, the more he needs to calm down.

Impulse and anger solve nothing.

Things have already happened, even if he catches Lawrence and shoots him, it will not help.

Of course, Lawrence was already on his way to the prisoner of war camp, so it was impossible for him to shoot Lawrence.

Van Fleet stared at the sand table and said through gritted teeth: "These Chinese troops really deserve to die."

"Order all the troops on the front line to continue to retreat and try to hold them back as long as possible."

"We must continue to conserve our strength and wait for opportunities to counterattack."

"Their attack will not last long. As long as we can persist for two or three days, they will interrupt the attack due to insufficient logistical supplies. At that time, it will be our time to counterattack."

"What we have to do now is to hold them back and preserve our strength."

"Understand?"

"yes sir!"

A US military officer next to him responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

When Van Fleet was frowning, an officer said: "General, General Ridgway called."

Van Fleet walked over and took the phone and said, "Commander..."

Li Qiwei said: "Old man, I heard that the front line is not going well."

Van Fleet replied helplessly: "It can no longer be said that it is not going well. It should be said that it has suffered heavy losses."

"The Chinese army's offensive is so fierce. I still can't figure out how these guys can have such a strong combat effectiveness."

Li Qiwei said helplessly: "Now you know how scary these guys are!"

"Before coming to North Korea, I also thought that those guys didn't even have enough to eat, and the weapons they used were decades behind us. However, only when I got here did I realize how terrifying they were."

"No wonder General Walker said that no one could stop our retreat until God put on a helmet and went into battle."

"This is a powerful enemy we have never encountered before, and it is too difficult to defeat them."

"But our strategy is not wrong. As long as we hold them back, when they run out of ammunition and food, it will be our chance to counterattack."

Van Fleet nodded and said, "I think so too, but I heard that they are still adding troops to the front line."

"The Congress is obviously not prepared to continue to expand the war, so continuing to fight like this can only be a long-term war of attrition."

Li Qiwei said helplessly: "We did not expect that our enemy would be so powerful. All we can do now is try our best to win."

"Of course, we must also request additional troops as much as possible, and hope that Congress can approve it."

"No matter how difficult it is, we must win this battle. This is related to the situation in the entire Far East. If we fail, it will inevitably affect the overall situation."

"I see!"

Van Fleet responded helplessly: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to win this battle."

Li Qiwei said: "I believe in your ability, and I believe in the strength of our troops."

"If the war drags on, it is certainly not good news for us, but the enemy's situation will be even worse."

"After all, in terms of national strength, they are simply not comparable to us. If we continue to fight, they will definitely be the first to be brought down."

Van Fleet nodded and said: "What you said makes perfect sense. We can only use this strategy now."

"I believe that the entire war situation will improve in the near future."

"But we now need more powerful air support. First, we need to continue bombing their troops to stop their attack."

"And we have to intensify the bombing of their logistics lines, because they can still launch such a large-scale counterattack now, which shows that their logistics supply lines have not been completely cut off, or that they are getting more supplies now, otherwise they will also It is impossible to continuously add troops to the front line."

Li Qiwei nodded and said: "Facing our constant bombing, these cunning enemies have gradually accumulated a certain amount of experience, which makes the results of our bombing their logistics lines smaller and smaller, and we cannot completely block their logistics. Supply lines.”

"It even caused them to transport more and more supplies to the front line."

Van Fleet said: "So if this problem is not solved, their strength will become stronger and stronger. By then, they may not just launch a weekly offensive, but may launch a ten-day offensive, a half-month offensive, or even a month-long offensive. "

"If it really develops to this point, we may not be able to stop the enemies coming like a tide."

"So we have to continue to increase our bombing intensity and do everything possible to block enemy reinforcements. This is the key to ensuring that we can win."

Li Qiwei nodded and said, "I agree with you. In this regard, I will find a way."

"Mobilize more aircraft for bombing, or adopt new strategies to achieve greater results, but we cannot rush this matter. After all, the enemies we face are not only tenacious in will, but also very cunning. Their tenacity and ability, It’s beyond our imagination.”

The volunteers' massive counterattacks caused huge losses to the enemy, and the enemy forces on the eastern front were repeatedly defeated.

But as the battle progressed, the volunteers once again encountered the problem that had been bothering them before, that is, the problem of logistical supplies.

After successive battles, the troops' supplies and ammunition had been basically exhausted, and the exhausted soldiers could no longer continue a new round of offensive.

In desperation, the headquarters could only order the troops to stop the pursuit and begin an orderly retreat.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, and even the tragedy of some troops being surrounded by the enemy in the last battle happened again, the troops began to retreat on their own initiative.

Moreover, this retreat is relatively better organized, and the various units will provide support and cover for each other to prevent unnecessary losses.

The United Nations forces did take advantage of this opportunity to launch a full-scale counterattack, but they did not gain much results under the obstruction of the volunteers.

However, with this continuous pulling, the battle line has always been maintained near the 38th parallel.

Both sides were temporarily unable to continue to advance the front, and the war fell into a stalemate for a while.

……

After replenishment, the strength of Gangqi Regiment was restored again.

On this day, Wu Qianli received an order from his superiors, asking him to lead the Gangqi Regiment to make a detour behind the enemy's rear and sneak attack on an enemy camp.

After some preparations, Wu Qianli set off with his troops under the cover of night.

The troops marched cautiously on the dark path. Wu Qianli introduced to Yu Congrong and others: "In order to ensure the success of this sneak attack, we must carefully pass through, make a big circle, run to the enemy's side and rear, and then Launch a sneak attack."

"Because if it is a sneak attack from the front, the enemy will definitely be on guard, and most likely it will fail."

"We will attack from the side and from the rear by surprise. The American devils probably never dreamed of it. We will attack from this direction, and it will definitely be effective in one fell swoop."

Yu Congrong said: "I have seen the map, but in this case, we need to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads to get back to the attack position."

Wu Qianli said: "For the sake of safety, it is worthwhile to walk more distance."

Mei Sheng said: "Then we have to hurry up and get to the attack position as soon as possible. If the delay is too long and the battle cannot be ended before dawn, there may be other troubles."

Wu Qianli nodded and said: "Lao He's words are right to the point. If we cannot end the battle before dawn, once it breaks, the nearby enemies will definitely rush over to support us."

"The battle will be difficult to fight by then. If we work together and capture this position before dawn, the enemy will not dare to come over rashly after dawn."

"In this case, this position will be ours."

"So now everyone should work harder and try to rush over as soon as possible. When the fight breaks out, everyone should be crisp and quick in their attacks and try to kill this enemy as soon as possible."

"understand!"

Then the troops continued to move forward quickly. The road had been scouted in advance. Although it was a bit rugged and difficult to navigate, it was commonplace for the soldiers and was not a problem.

The journey went smoothly, and there was no enemy resistance or any trouble.

Wu Qianli waved his hand, signaling everyone to be more careful, because now they were gradually approaching the target.

Wu Qianli led a few soldiers and tiptoed to the top of a mountain. Then several people took action one after another and killed all the enemy sentries on the mountain.

The enemy only set up a few sentries on duty on the mountain, which was relatively far from their main camp. After several sentries were killed, they did not attract the attention of the enemies in the camp.

As Wu Qianli said before, because this direction is not the direction of confrontation with the Volunteer Army, the enemy never dreamed that the Volunteer Army would come from here, so their defensive power in this direction is relatively weak.

After the enemy's sentry was taken down, the soldiers carefully reached the top of the mountain, but they did not dare to make any big movements, so as not to alert the enemy below.

Wu Qianli lay down behind a big rock and carefully observed the situation. At this moment, the enemy camp was quiet and everything was normal.

He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was now more than two hours before dawn.

Wu Qianli made a few gestures, and several soldiers immediately and cautiously moved down the mountain.

After climbing down the hillside, we entered the enemy's camp.

Several snipers were also in position, aiming at the enemy in the distance.

Those few people sneaked into the enemy's camp very smoothly, but they all hid in the corner and took no further action.

Then the second group also carefully descended the hillside and quietly sneaked into their camp.

Then came the third group. Wave after wave of people successfully sneaked into the enemy's camp.

In this way, dozens of soldiers sneaked into the enemy camp and quietly occupied some strategic points.

At this time, the patrolling enemies finally discovered the volunteer soldiers who had come in.

"Da da da~!"

With the crisp sound of gunfire, the battle began.

The soldiers who had entered the camp immediately launched an attack on the enemy after hearing the gunshots. Suddenly there was loud gunfire, and the whole camp was in chaos.

The snipers in the distance also immediately sent all the enemy's machine gunners to hell.

Then Wu Qianli led the remaining dozens of soldiers and rushed into the enemy's camp like tigers descending from the mountain.

At this moment, the entire camp was in chaos. Under the fierce attack of the soldiers, the enemy was dead and wounded, and it was impossible to organize effective resistance.

A large number of enemies were sent to see the King of Hell while they were sleeping.

Some of the awakened enemies were so frightened that they ran around without the courage to resist.

Wu Qianli loudly ordered: "Occupy the entire camp as soon as possible."

"Da da da~!"

Intensive gunfire rang out, and several enemies were beaten into pieces by random gunshots.

At this moment, the battlefield was in chaos. Wu Qianli led the soldiers along the way and successfully occupied the enemy's camp.

More than two hundred enemies were killed, dozens were captured, and a dozen others took advantage of the chaos to escape.

Just after the battle, Wu Qianli ordered: "Lao Mei, you lead people to organize defenses to prevent the enemy from counterattack."

"Yes!"

"Yu Congrong!"

"To!"

Wu Qianli ordered: "Send a signal flare to inform your superiors that we have succeeded."

"Also clean up the battlefield."

"Yes!"

Yu Congrong responded quickly.

Then a shining flare shot into the air.

In the distance, on the Volunteer Army's position, after seeing the signal flare, Tan Ziwei said with a smile: "They have succeeded. I said the Gang Seventh Regiment will definitely not let me down."

Tan Ziwei smiled and then ordered: "Send the order immediately, and the attacking group will attack immediately to attack the enemy in front of you."

"Yes!"

........................

Although Wu Qianli and the others occupied the enemy's main position, there were still two hills in front that were occupied by the enemy.

However, these two hills are not big, and there is only one platoon of enemies stationed on each hill.

Under normal circumstances, if the volunteers launch an attack and the enemy's firepower is too fierce, they may not be able to capture these two hills.

But it was different now. The enemy's retreat was cut off, and the enemies on the mountain suddenly panicked.

Not long after, more than a dozen bugles sounded the charge horn at the same time.

For a moment, the sound of charging horns was everywhere. To the enemy, this loud charging horn was like the death talisman of the King of Hell.

The enemies on the mountain were already panicking. When they heard the sound of the charge horn, they thought that the main force of the volunteers on the opposite side had launched an attack, and they suddenly became frightened and panicked.

"Kill~!"

Shocking shouts of killing rang out, and in the darkness, it seemed as if thousands of troops were rushing towards them.

This made the enemy even more confused, and by this time, these American devils no longer had the courage to stay here.

One by one, Sa YaZi gave up their position and began to flee. However, Wu Qianli had already expected this and sent people in advance to block their retreat.

When the enemy fled down the mountain, the soldiers raised their guns and swept away.

"Da da da~!"

With the sound of intensive gunfire, a large area of ​​the enemy was instantly swept away.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining enemies were so frightened that they raised their hands and surrendered.

The battle went extremely smoothly.

However, at this moment, a soldier quickly ran up to Wu Qianli and said, "Report to the commander, the enemy's reinforcements are coming."

When Wu Qianli heard this, he hurriedly ran up a nearby hillside and looked into the distance with his binoculars.

Sure enough, I saw car lights turning on in the distance.

"It's a tank!"

"There seemed to be a dozen tanks!"

"Codes!"

"Get ready to fight immediately and block their attack for me."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded loudly.

At this moment, Tan Ziwei was coming here with a few soldiers and received the news.

"The enemy has more than a dozen tanks, covering the infantry and starting a counterattack."

"The Gang Seventh Regiment is preparing to block the attack."

Tan Ziwei couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, it came very quickly. Send the order, leaving two platoons to guard the position on the top of the hill. The rest of the troops will support the Gang 7th Regiment and be sure to block the enemy's counterattack."

"Yes!"

........................

On the blocking position, the soldiers of the Gang 7th Regiment were busy building positions.

Wu Qianli came to the artillery position, patted Lei Gong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lei Gong, it will be up to you later."

"Concentrate your firepower and blast the enemy infantry behind the tanks."

Lei Gong grinned and said, "Don't worry!"

"These mortars are enough for these foreign devils to drink from."

Wu Qianli said: "Pay attention to safety."

Lei Gong smiled and said: "I am very safe here. We are blocked by mountains. The machine guns and artillery of enemy tanks cannot reach us at all."

This is a good thing, because the cannons on the tanks shoot straight away, and with the mountains blocking them, they really can't hit Lei Gong and the others.

But Lei Gong's mortar is a curved fire cannon. It can fly over the mountains and directly bomb the enemy infantry behind the tanks.

Wu Qianli said with a smile: "You old guy is still a thief!"

Lei Gong smiled and said: "You better be careful!"

"I am an old bachelor. If I die, I will die. Once I close my eyes, all worries will disappear."

"But if I am lucky enough to survive, when I retire from the army in the future, I will still count on you to provide for me until the end of my life."

Wu Qianli smiled and said: "Damn, Lei Gong, you are so unreasonable. I treat you as my elder brother, and you treat me as my son!"

Father Lei said with a smile: "Who said we are incompetent? If we can't find a wife, we can only rely on you to support us until we die."

Wu Qianli said with a smile: "You want to take advantage of me, no way! When I return to China, I will give you a house with a fat wife, and I will give you a litter of cubs. When the time comes, you will not be able to let go even if you want to die." .”

"Haha~!"

Lei Gong laughed and said: "Your mouth is getting better and better. You really know how to make my old man happy."

Wu Qianli patted Lei Gong on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You! You are not old at all!"

After Wu Qianli said this, he turned around and left quickly.

I came to a forward position, lay down in the ring fortification, and took a look at the situation outside.

I saw the enemy stopped a few hundred meters away, and seemed to be considering whether to launch an attack.

Yu Congrong said: "Are they afraid to attack anymore?"

Wu Qianli raised his telescope and took a look. He couldn't help but his face changed drastically, and he quickly ordered: "Avoid the cannons, everyone take cover, avoid the cannons."

It turned out that Wu Qianli saw at a glance that the enemy tank turrets were slowly rotating, obviously looking for targets.

The enemy dare not attack!

They clearly wanted to shell first and then attack.

However, this is also the usual practice of the enemy. These guys are very precious about their lives. Even if they have tanks as cover, they generally will not launch an attack directly without artillery preparations.

A dozen tanks, plus a dozen tank guns, this firepower is also quite fierce.

Fortunately, Wu Qianli noticed something was wrong in time and warned the soldiers, and the soldiers immediately hid in a safe place.

Sure enough, just ten seconds later, bursts of rumbling gunfire came from the opposite side.

"Chirp chirp chirp~!"

The artillery shells quickly cut through the night sky with a harsh whistling sound, flying straight towards the blocking position of the Gang 7th Regiment.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

Violent explosions sounded one after another, and pieces of fire shot into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the defenses at the forward position were caught in artillery fire.

Yu Congrong hid behind a big rock, held up his hat and said, "It's so dangerous! These dogs are quite insidious."

Wu Qianli, who was hiding not far away, shouted to Yu Conrong: "Yu Conrong, after the battle begins, you take the bazooka team to the two wings and take the time to attack their tanks."

Yu Congrong made a gesture towards Wu Qianli, which meant that he promised to complete the task. (End of chapter)
