After accepting the combat mission, Li Weiguo and Zhao Kailai returned to the unit to arrange the task, "The air defense company is hidden on the spot, and the emergency repair detachment of the support company accompanies the tank and combat vehicle detachment to move this evening; The special operations detachment left two platoons led by the instructor of the special operations detachment to protect the air defense company and the supply detachment of the support company. A platoon of tanks and combat vehicles of the special operations detachment cooperated with the 237th Regiment of the Volunteer Army to carry out the task of blocking US reinforcements, and also protected the instructors. The second group of tank fighting vehicles was led by the commander of the special operations company, and cooperated with the 176th Regiment of the Volunteer Army to assault the junction of the 5th and 7th regiments of the United States; It is necessary to completely cut off the connection between the US 5th Regiment and the 7th Regiment, and block the reinforcements of the US 7th Regiment. I led three groups of tanks and combat vehicles to cooperate with the main force of the five regiments of the Volunteer Army to assault from the front, striving to break through the US defense line as soon as possible and destroy US tanks, armored vehicles and other heavy firepower; Cooperate with the main force of the Volunteer Army to eliminate the US 5th Regiment and strive to inflict heavy damage on the US 7th Regiment after the US 5th Regiment is eliminated. Li Weiguo announced the order for the evening's battle.

"Comrades, our drones have no power source for the time being, and we must make good use of night vision equipment tonight; In the daytime battles, we have seen our predecessors' feelings for the family and country of 'doing everything for the motherland' and the revolutionary heroic spirit of 'not fearing hardship and death', and we must continue to carry forward their glorious traditions and revolutionary spirit and continue to write the glory of our 20 th Army in tonight's general offensive! "Zhao Kailai made a brief pre-war mobilization." Each group boarded the bus and go! Li Weiguo issued an operational order to enter the No. 101 tank and the three groups of tank fighting vehicles at the same time to march to the designated combat area, and Zhao Kailai led the first group of tank fighting vehicles and the commander of the special operations company to lead the second tank group to set off to the combat area......

As night fell, Zhao Feihu, the commander of the special operations company, Wang Jianjian, the commander of the 176th regiment, and Lin Feng, the political commissar of the 176th regiment, were facing each other, and there were still 20 minutes before 8 o'clock in the evening; "Regiment commander and political commissar, at the beginning of the attack at 8 o'clock, I and the three battalion commanders led the team to rush into the junction of the two regiments of the US army, please be sure to stay in the command position; The infantry was to follow behind our tanks and chariots, and before the charge began, the artillery was asked to use mortars to carry out an artillery attack on the two small heights of the enemy's junction, 1021 and 1034; The rest is left to us tank crews and infantry. Zhao Feihu suggested to the head of the 176th regiment and the political commissar. Zhao Feihu's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone, and the commander and political commissar of the 176th Regiment accepted Zhao Feihu's suggestion and ordered the mortar company to be ready for battle.

At 8 p.m. on Nov. 29, "Bang Bang Bang! With the three red signal flares lifted into the air, the general offensive of the Volunteer Army kicked off...... "Open fire!" With the order of the commander of the artillery company, the mortars of the mortar company of the 176th Regiment of the "Boom Boom Boom ......" Volunteer Army opened fire, and several shells fell on the two small heights of the US Army 1021 and 1034; The explosion of the shells killed some American troops on the spot, and as the shelling stopped, the machine guns of the American troops began to ......fire "da-.....". With Zhao Feihu's order, two tanks 107 and 108 and two tanks 607 and 608 rushed towards the enemy's junction, and the infantry of the Volunteer Army followed the tanks and chariots to charge towards the junction at the same time......

Our tanks and combat vehicles, equipped with infrared imagers, saw the target at a distance of 3,000 meters very clearly, and the two tanks and combat vehicles rushed forward in a horizontal row; "Dada...... The machine guns and accompanying machine guns of the "Boom Boom ......." combat vehicles carried out precise strikes on the US firing points within the fire range, and with the explosion of one sound, the fire points supported by the US heavy machine guns and a small number of rocket launchers (most of which were transferred to the frontal defense by the US troops) were destroyed one by one; The U.S. forces on the two small heights of U.S. forces 1021 and 1034 were quickly at a disadvantage. The volunteer infantry who followed the tank and tank charge had almost no casualties as they gradually approached the American heights, and the greatly encouraged volunteer officers and soldiers continued to shoot at the American troops on the high grounds; The U.S. troops quickly abandoned the 1021 position under the offensive of the Volunteers, and half of the U.S. troops who fled under the accompaniment of machine gun fire from our tanks were killed.

The assault force occupied the 1021 position controlled by a company of the US army in half an hour, and soon approached the 1034 heights; This time, the mortar battery of the American army opened fire, and there was an explosion with a bang, and a shell fell near the charging volunteer infantry, causing casualties; The 107 and 108 tanks immediately aimed at the US mortar positions near the US 1034 heights, and ......the two tanks fired four guns in a row, accompanied by four huge explosions, and the enemy's mortar positions went up to the ......sky with four huge explosions, "Colonel, call for reinforcements from the 7th regiment, we ......" An American captain on the 1034 heights called for support from Jamio; Before the guy could finish his words, he was killed by tank 607 accompanied by machine guns....... The tanks, combat vehicles, and infantry of the assault force quickly rushed to the 1034 heights, and only ten minutes later, the 1034 heights were completely captured by the volunteers......

Zhao Feihu, the commander of the special operations company who was sitting on the No. 107 tank and quickly assaulting forward, suddenly found that there were eight 105mm howitzers deployed in concealment in the depth of the position of the 5th Regiment of the US Army, "It seems that these eight howitzers are in response to the general attack of our main force," Zhao Feihu muttered to himself, "Battalion Commander Wang, send a company to cooperate with me; I took tank No. 107 and this company to knock out the American concealed artillery 5,000 meters away. "Zhao Feihu's urgent request." The 5th Company cooperated with the No. 107 tank and set off immediately! "Battalion Commander Wang of the 1st Battalion of the Volunteer Army gave an urgent order.

As the order was issued, Zhao Feihu commanded the No. 107 tank and the 5th company to quickly launch a surprise attack on the US artillery position 5,000 meters to the west. In the vicinity of the US artillery position, only one platoon of the US army was on alert, and the No. 107 tank and the 5th company broke through the defense of the US platoon in 10 minutes and assaulted to a position 2,000 meters away from the US artillery position. "Aim at the U.S. artillery and wipe them out one by one!" Zhao Feihu gave the order to fire through the infrared imager, and the No. 107 tank changed to slow driving and aimed at a U.S. artillery, destroying a U.S. 105mm howitzer with a "bombardment"; "Boom....." exploded, and a US covert artillery gun went up into the sky, and several US artillery soldiers saw their God at the same time. Someone sneak attack, get ready to fight! An American captain ordered that while the American troops on the artillery positions were looking for a target for attack, the "Boom Boom ......." No. 107 tank fired at the American artillery every 5-6 seconds; Every 5-6 seconds, one gun was destroyed on the US artillery position, and in less than a minute, all 8 105-mm guns of the US army were destroyed; More than 40 American troops on the position were killed and more than 60 wounded at the same time.

"Colonel, I am the 105 howitzer position, Chinese attacked us two minutes ago, and all eight howitzers are gone......." A captain of the American army reported to Jamio with gauze wrapped around his head, "Gather the remaining forces to hold the artillery position, I suspect that Chinese is attacking in the east; You should closely observe the next move of the Chinese. Jamio replied. The enemy's artillery has been destroyed, and it is immediately withdrawn; Our main task is to separate the enemy! "When the U.S. troops were in chaos, Zhao Feihu ordered the officers and men of the No. 107 tank and the 5th company to quickly withdraw to the 1034 heights." Colonel, Chinese withdraw......" The American captain reported to Jamio, "then you will take the rest of the men to hold the position and take care of the wounded; I'll arrange ...... other things," Jamio ordered.

At 8:50 p.m., when Zhang Dongfeng led the No. 107 tank and the 5th company back to the 1034 heights, the 176th Regiment of the Volunteer Army, with the cooperation of the No. 108 tank, No. 607 and No. 608 tanks, had completely separated the 5th and 7th regiments of the US army; "Tank No. 107 and Tank No. 607 cooperated with the 1st Battalion to defend the flank of the 5th Regiment of the US Army, and Tank No. 108 and Tank No. 608 cooperated with the 2nd Battalion and the 3rd Battalion to defend the side of the 7th Regiment of the US Army; After the start of the general offensive, no matter what the cost, we must not allow the two regiments of the American army to reunite!
