"There is not a single living soldier on the battlefield, I'm afraid they will all be sacrificed!" The correspondent cried and said: "The comrades were all burned alive! "Tell the second line of defense to prepare to meet the enemy, inform Division Commander Liu, and carry out artillery strikes in the area between the first and second lines of defense, block and consume the enemy, and buy more time for the second line of defense to prepare!" Cai Changyuan didn't say anything, but directly arranged the next combat arrangement, as a veteran and commander, Cai Changyuan knew that it was useless to be sad and sad at this time, it was true to find a way to do things well in the future, only in this way would those sacrificed soldiers not die in vain!

"Division commander, the first line of defense has been breached, all the fighters have been sacrificed, and the US army has used solidification*! Now Division Commander Cai asks us to fight between the first and second lines of defense, to delay and consume the enemy as much as possible, and to cover the second line of defense into battle! The communications soldier came in and said. This American is also crazy, so a few small positions, aircraft artillery is not enough, called coagulation * are all used, what other tricks does he have in this way! Liu Hai said, "Tell the ghost artillery to contact the various artillery companies and battalions, concentrate their firepower on the middle of the two defense lines, and let them see the signal flare and open fire!" "Yes!" The communication soldiers ran out to contact the ghost artillery!

"Humph! No matter how powerful the Chinese are, they are just a bunch of meat for the firepower of our allies! Said a South Korean officer who took the position. That's for sure, people are hard but not steel, but to be honest, this Chinese can be able to withstand enough, just such a small position, under such a firepower advantage, can actually withstand a day and a night! "So what, weren't you burned alive?" The South Korean officer said disdainfully. "But on this day and night, we suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and the US army suffered more than 400 casualties, and we have advanced less than 1,000 meters, and the depth of Tieyuan is 20 kilometers. The South Korean officer said. "Humph! I have already applied for the order to attack, now the Chinese are retreating, this line of defense covers them for a day and a night, I am afraid that they have long fled, now is a great opportunity to pursue and make meritorious service! Just wait to be jealous of me, hahahaha! ”

"Soldiers, the Chinese have retreated, now is a good opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions, we have allied planes and tanks, we still have cars, as long as what we can do now is to catch up with the Chinese and hit them fiercely, you all follow me to kill those Chinese!" The South Korean officer said with great enthusiasm.

"Rush, give me a rush!" South Korean officers sat in jeeps, brandishing pistols and shouting, urging their troops forward. While he was directing the troops forward, the observers sent by Liu Hai were watching him with binoculars from a distance. "Great, a regiment of the South Korean Army has all moved in, now is a good time for artillery bombardment, hurry up and inform the division commander!" The observer said as he looked at the convoy winding its way down Route 17.

"Division commander, a regiment of the South Korean Army has all entered the middle ground between the first and second lines of defense, and the observer suggests that the shelling start now!" The staff officer said excitedly. "Good! Order the ghost cannon to fire five shots in a hurry, and then cover the fire on both sides of the road! Bangs said. I see! The staff officer immediately ran to deliver the order.

"Fire!" The artillery regiment, under the command of the ghost artillery, began to fire at the same time, and the ferocious artillery fire hit the highway fiercely, and the convoy that was moving on the highway was hit fiercely, and several vehicles were hit by shells at the same time, and they were immediately torn apart, and the South Korean soldiers on the cars were blown up to pieces! "Dodge the guns! Dodge the guns! "The South Korean officer was overturned by the shock wave of the shell and fell to the ground shouting loudly. After shouting, he pulled his legs and ran to the left side of the road, and the other South Korean soldiers followed suit

Get up.

The South Korean officer's idea seemed to be right, but in fact it was wrong, because soon the shells of the ghost artillery followed, blowing up the South Korean troops on both sides of the road, and the ghost artillery was not a soft-hearted person, and the infantry was so clear after the shelling that the shells almost followed the South Korean troops who were scattered and fleeing. At this time, the division commander of the US army also discovered the South Korean army that was being beaten and hated to have two legs long, but he felt that this was a good opportunity to discover the artillery positions of the volunteers, and soon contacted the artillery reconnaissance plane to fly to the battlefield for air reconnaissance, and the US artillery reconnaissance plane soon flew over the battlefield to conduct reconnaissance, but soon the pilot of the artillery reconnaissance plane was confused, because the artillery of the ghost artillery was scattered, and they were all attacked by battalions and companies, so the US artillery reconnaissance plane found that artillery was firing everywhere. But no artillery positions were found!

"Impossible!" The commander of the American army said loudly, "This is obviously artillery at the regimental level, how could it not be discovered?" "Division commander, judging by the results of the reconnaissance, at least the enemy is distracting his artillery fire, so as not to be hit by our aviation fire!" A staff officer said from the side. "Cunning oriental monkey!" The commander of the US division said angrily: "Since they can open artillery, we can also notify the artillery to cover our advance area, and the aviation must also cooperate and fight for firepower, there is a gap between them and us!" ”。 At this time, the officer of the South Korean Army was carried over, and the poor officer was left with only one arm and one leg. "Dear Allied Division Commander, we... Before the South Korean officer could finish speaking, he was kicked by the commander of the US division and kicked directly from the stretcher to the bottom of the hillside. "Phew!" The commander of the U.S. military division spat out in disgust, "Useless things, don't treat him, let him die!" ”

"Hurry, hurry! Push the cannon to the bottom of the hill and find a place to hide! "The ghost artillery saw the American planes flying over in the sky and knew that the situation was not good, and this was the Americans who were going to retaliate, so they quickly ordered the artillery to dodge! However, the U.S. artillery and aircraft have already begun to bomb, and this time the bombing area is very large, and almost all the areas are included in the bombing area, so the ghost artillery artillery regiment has incurred some losses.

"Forward!" The division commander of the American army saw that his attack was effective and immediately ordered the troops to advance! But the matter was not over, according to Liu Hai's order, the mortar company belonging to the guard battalion of the 8th Division was dispatched! The task of the mortar company is very simple, that is, to select favorable terrain and carry out precise strikes on the moving US jeeps, because the jeeps are basically all command vehicles and communication equipment, and without these things, it will cause great difficulties for the US troops! The mortars of the volunteers were very accurate, and they continued to hit the US troops along the way, making the US troops advance very slowly, and the distance between the first line of defense and the second line of defense was less than two kilometers, and the US troops walked for three hours! Liu Hai's artillery had an obvious effect on the US army, and bought a lot of preparation time for the second line of defense, but the delay is always a delay, and it cannot stop the attack of the US army, and now the US army is finally in front of the second line of defense!

"How's the fight going? Can Cai Changyuan withstand it? Mr. Peng asked worriedly. At present, there is not much of a problem, especially with the cooperation of Liu Hai, the two of them fought very smoothly, and where the US army has only advanced two kilometers! The staff officer said. By the way, what is the situation on the side of the Twentieth Army? Mr. Peng asked. It's just some feints over there, it's not a big problem! The staff officer said. No, I just think that there is a big problem over there, and from now on all kinds of supplementary reinforcements to the 20th Army must be strengthened! Peng Dehuai said to his staff officer.

"Come on!" The machine gunners on the position desperately fired at the American troops who were climbing up. "Company commander," one soldier shouted, "the enemy is coming up from the left!" "Three rows, six shifts and one shift go over to resist!" The company commander said. "Be careful!" A soldier rushed up and knocked the company commander down, only to have a huge piece of shrapnel in the back of the soldier! "Damn, I'm fighting with you!" The company commander looked at the little soldier who was less than 18 years old who died on his body, and he picked up the machine gun and fired desperately, killing several American soldiers who were just about to climb up, and then continued to shoot wildly!

"We've attacked nine times! Didn't even take a single position! The staff officer said helplessly. Continue the offensive, artillery, infantry, aviation are all on me, I don't believe that the Chinese are iron! The commander of the U.S. military said loudly. In fact, the battle at this time was already very cruel, the Americans' firepower advantage was like crazy, desperately pouring into the position of the volunteers, the volunteers were also very tenacious, lying on the ground to avoid the enemy's artillery fire, waiting for the enemy's infantry!

"Division commander, we have to find a way to suppress the enemy's air force, otherwise this battle will not be able to continue!" The staff officer came over and said. "Go to the back and see, if there are anti-aircraft guns, and if you don't have anti-aircraft guns, you can get two anti-aircraft machine guns!" Liu Hai knew that what the staff officer said was right, the Americans' air force was too rampant, flying on the ground, strafing and dropping bombs to the extreme, just now Liu Hai went out to see the enemy situation, and even the military hat was blown away by the whirlwind of the plane!

At this time, Cai Changyuan was also on fire, the three regiments of his division, according to his own ideas, three regiments were deployed along Highway 17, one regiment insisted on one day, three regiments insisted on three days, waiting for the 187th Division to come to reinforcements, but now it has only been half a day, the second regiment has suffered more than half of the casualties, and some companies have been exhausted, if it really can't stand it, the three regiments must be dispatched in advance, in that case, what should I do on the third day? Looking at the artillery fire outside, Cai Changyuan decided to go to the position in person to boost morale!

Just as Cai Changyuan was about to walk out of the command post, a good news came, Liu Hai's staff officer came back from behind with ten anti-aircraft machine guns.
