Chapter 978: Rushing into the enemy's lair

It was dark and the wind was howling, and Colonel Puller finally collected about 500 Marines, but he didn't expect to end up with a home and a scene of blowing wind in the field. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

With no sleeping bags, no shelter, no warm food, no convenient vehicles, and after losing most of the heavy equipment, about three companies of American troops collapsed in a leeward col.

Is there any mistake? The mighty U.S. Marines ended up in such an embarrassing situation! From officers to soldiers, these more than 500 Americans were extremely dumbfounded.

Colonel Puller called for support over the radio, and the reply from his superiors was, 'We're figuring it out, but there's something more urgent right now, and you need to be patient and wait for .......' ’

Wait for the ghost! The high-ranking officers who stayed in the warm room would only play official, did they know the plight of the 1st Marine Regiment? The 60th Division of the Volunteer Army, which was originally guarding Fushengli, had already been dispatched, and they ran out all over the mountains to clear the remnants of Colonel Pule.

Obviously, during the day, the Marines of Great America pressed the volunteers to fight, but as soon as it got dark, they were transferred, and it was the turn of the Marines to be pressed and beaten by the volunteers.

A large number of lost heavy equipment was captured by the volunteers, and the machine-gun mortars were not bad, but a few light armored vehicles joined the pursuit team, which immediately became a major threat.

What worries Colonel Puller even more is the US military position in Gutuli, where there were originally more than 3,000 people, including more than 2,000 combat troops. But under the successive losses, the defense of the ancient soil has been extremely empty.

The Colonel remembered the sight he had seen in the last rays of light before dark, of the hordes of volunteers heading south along the roadβ€”they were so high in their spirits that they rushed into the ancient earth like a gust of wind, where there were abundant supplies that would make these fearless warriors tenfold more combative.

In fact, the situation is a hundred times worse than Colonel Puller imagined!

Zhou Qingfeng took his IS-7 like a hurricane, and he didn't entangle with the U.S. troops who blocked him halfway. The U.S. troops on several hills in the ancient soil watched this enemy army slaughter into their lair and live completely.

The U.S. military, which has the advantage of firepower, has always been on the offensive and never thought that it would be attacked by Chongtan one day. Gutuli was a flat river beach, and there was no suitable terrain to stop Zhou Qingfeng, the checkpoint on the road was smashed by IS-7, and the American troops guarding it scattered and fled.

"Come with me, first block the junction where Gutuli fled south, and then seize the artillery positions and material warehouses. Today we are going to go on a killing spree, and anyone who dares to resist will be taught a lesson with artillery fire. Zhou Qingfeng took out the active night vision device and set it up on the turret, and commanded his subordinates to rampage.

Many U.S. troops still want to resist, but they are powerless in the face of the invading tanks. Most of the tanks in the ancient soil were lost in the slaughter before dark, and the few that were left were not to be feared, and the main guns of a hundred and thirty mm caliber solved all the problems.

Colonel Puller once reminded the US troops in Gutuli on the radio, but the short distance of a few kilometers would not take much time for Zhou Qingfeng. Due to the lack of troops to resist, many American troops had no choice but to surrender, after all, not everyone had the courage to resist tanks.

And when the main force of the 178th Regiment followed, Zhou Qingfeng led a rapid column to raid Zhenxingli behind Gutuli. There was only one battalion of U.S. troops in Zhenxingli, but they resisted for a while, but in the face of high-explosive grenade shotguns, the resistance did not last for ten minutes before suffering heavy casualties and completely dispersed.

No one can outrun a tank with night vision devices in the dark night, and the American soldiers don't want to escape into the ice and snow of the vast night, so they can only surrender.

The fierce and decisive armored raid exerted a shocking power, and the more than 1,000 people who survived the 178th Regiment happily received the supplies left by the American troops.

The regiment commander was directly overjoyed, and he shouted loudly: "Food, medicine, clothing, weapons, ammunition, vehicles, we have a whole night to carry these things." ”

The important fire support for the defense of Gutuli was Company E of the 2nd Battalion of the 11th Artillery Regiment, and the six 105mm howitzers of this company fell completely into Zhou Qingfeng's hands. The artillery of Company E originally wanted to blow up the howitzers and shells, but Zhou Qingfeng came too quickly and didn't give them time at all.

In addition to howitzers, there is also a heavy mortar company in Gutuli, a professional medical company and a transport company. With the luxury of the U.S. military, the abundance of things here is unimaginable for the volunteers. Faced with so many things, the commander of the 178th Regiment didn't even know how to transport them away?

"Our Ninth Corps is fighting too hard, and these things must be put to good use." The commander of the 178th Regiment and other officers were all panting, none of them expected that a surprise attack by a fast column would bring such great results. Seeing the mountains of supplies, they collectively red-eyed.

The soldiers of the 178th Regiment were changing into US military uniforms, and everyone looked happy and happy as if they were celebrating the New Year. And Zhou Qingfeng's fast column drove back to Gutuli in a jeep after easily defeating Zhenxingli, and he had an important suggestion.

"Regiment commander, we should continue to fight and use the time tonight to directly attack Hamxing, the base camp of the 1st Marine Division's northward advance this time, and destroy the Xingnan Port in Hamxing. Completely cut off the logistics and supplies of the 1st Marine Division. ”

Zhou Qingfeng spread out the map and pointed to Xingnan Port, which was only a few dozen kilometers away, and that port was the most critical point of the Changjin Lake battlefield.

When the 1st Marine Division withdrew from Changjin Lake, it transported 100,000 troops and 90,000 civilians, as well as more than 17,000 vehicles and 350,000 tons of supplies from Xingnan Port.

In the end, a large amount of supplies could not be transported, and the US military simply destroyed the port of Xingnan with explosives and naval artillery, leaving no scum for the volunteers.

And Zhou Qingfeng's heart is very big, he wants to attack this vital port in advance, "We unexpectedly laid down the ancient soil, and the command of the US army must be a mess now, and they would not have thought of us raiding their lair at all." ”

The leaders of the 178th Regiment all looked at each other, and the regiment commander frowned and asked, "The enemy's lair can't be defenseless, right?" ”

"Yes, the Third Division of the U.S. Army, a super big fish belly." After Zhou Qingfeng said a number, the whole of the 178th Regiment showed a greatly moved expression.

The current Third Division of the U.S. Army is really fighting to the death, and this unit is the backbone of the U.S. Army, but because of the lack of troops, it has supplemented the excess number of Nanbang soldiers. As a result, they can only do some tasks to maintain law and order in the rear, and going to the battlefield is equivalent to sending equipment and heads to the volunteers.

After the Battle of Changjin Lake, the 1st Marine Division angrily complained to the 10th Army, saying that the 3rd Division of the Army, which cooperated with them in the battle, was too rubbish and sent a large amount of heavy equipment to the volunteers to capture, which was simply a shame and scum in the US army.

Xingnan Port is also the location of the headquarters of the US Tenth Army, but a unit like the Third Division guarding the enemy's headquarters lair would be a great disaster if it was assaulted.

"But we have too few troops, and it is too difficult to run dozens of kilometers at night. It is also necessary to divide a part of the people to carry the materials in the ancient soil, so it is also a great risk to attack a division of the enemy. "The commissar of the regiment was responsible for raising possible difficulties.

"We have seized a large number of cars, and it won't take long to run dozens of kilometers!" Zhou Qingfeng pointed to the US military vehicles in Gutuli, there were more than 300 of them, "If the strength is insufficient, you can pull the other two regiments of the 60th Division together." There is a chance for everyone to make a fortune together! ”

The more Zhou Qingfeng spoke, the faster the heartbeat of the leaders in the regiment, and these experienced generals were carefully considering the possibility and risk of continuing to raid Xingnan Port. Regardless of how many great feats there were, just to make the enemy's headquarters chaotic is to lose the entire 178th Regiment and make money.

"But how can we have so many drivers?" The regiment commander weighed it repeatedly in his heart, and finally asked a question that was not a problem.

"Driver?" Zhou Qingfeng sneered, and looked at the large number of captured American soldiers in the ancient soil, "Most of the Americans can drive, I think they should exchange their actions for a chance to survive, after all, it is too common for hundreds of people to die unexpectedly on the battlefield." ”
