Chapter 8: General Attack on Liutanli (1)

At 9 p.m. on November 29, three red signal bombs were lifted into the air (at 8:50 p.m., the engineer company of the Volunteer Army had completed mine clearance and evacuated to the front of Liutanli under the cover of mortars), Li Weiguo led 6 tanks and 6 combat vehicles as an assault force to walk in the front, and the infantry of 5 regiments of the Volunteer Army followed the tanks and chariots to charge the front of Liutanli....... When the tanks and combat vehicles drove to about 2,500 meters away from the US position, the tanks and combat vehicles changed to slow driving, and Li Weiguo carefully observed the first line of defense of the US army through the infrared imager; "Attention to all vehicles, first knock out the four tanks and eight armored vehicles at the front of the first line of defense of the US army; Then take out the anti-tank fire behind the enemy tanks at a distance of 1500-2000 meters from our tanks and tanks on the march! The infantry followed behind the tanks and chariots...... "Li Weiguo gave the battle order.

Five to six seconds later, tanks No. 101, 102, 103, and 104 opened fire on their respective U.S. tanks, and at the same time, No. 601, 602, 603, and 604 fired eight anti-tank missiles at U.S. armored vehicles............... "Boom, boom, boom......." More than a dozen huge explosions sounded, and the tanks and armored vehicles at the forefront of the first line of defense of the US army were completely destroyed; Some of the US officers and soldiers who had never seen this situation were so frightened that they hid behind the fortifications and began to tremble......

"Don't panic, wait for the Chinese tank to enter the distance of about 1,000 meters and start shooting; We have to have confidence in our anti-tank weapons! "Major Tom, who was in charge of the first line of defense, encouraged and cheered up the American troops who were shocked by the explosion. At this time, Li Weiguo clearly saw through the infrared imager nearly 100 recoilless guns, nearly 100 bazookas and other anti-tank weapons and related improvised fortifications behind the US tank. "Li Weiguo once again gave the order to fight." Boom Boom Boom ......" and "Da ......." six tanks and six combat vehicles used tank guns and 30 mm cannons to accurately fire at the anti-tank fire fortifications of the US army, and Major Tom soon discovered that the anti-tank fire fortifications on the first line of defense were quickly destroyed one by one before they could open fire; "Colonel, our tanks and armored vehicles in the first line of defense have been finished, and half of the anti-tank guns and rocket launchers have been destroyed by the Chinese; Now the Chinese tank is at least 1,500 meters away from us, out of range of our anti-tank fire......" Major Tom anxiously called for help from Jamio......

"Tom, you immediately lead the rest of the men to withdraw to the second line of defense with equipment, as long as the Chinese attack the tanks behind our earthen wall 300 meters away from the second line of defense, they will definitely be able to destroy their tanks; I immediately ordered the tanks behind the earthen wall to get ready! Jamio commanded, "Yes! Sir! Tom replied. Brothers, immediately withdraw to the second line of defense and let our hidden tanks destroy the Chinese! Tom shouted as he led the rest of the Americans in the first line of defense to retreat to the second line of defense with their equipment......

When Major Tom was retreating with the remnants of the first line of defense of the American army, Li Weiguo found 16 American tanks behind the earthen wall at a distance of 2,500 meters through an infrared imager; "It turns out that the U.S. military hid the tanks here and wanted to carry out a sneak attack......," Li Weiguo muttered. Attention cars, do you see the 16 US tanks behind the earthen wall? Tank detachments use tank guns, 605 and 606 combat vehicles use anti-tank missiles to destroy American tanks at a distance of 2,000 meters! Li Weiguo ordered again. Soon, our tanks and combat vehicles locked onto their targets, and "boom, boom, ......boom, boom" and "whoosh...... our tanks and tanks opened fire again. "Boom, boom......." In just a dozen seconds, the 16 tanks hidden by the US army behind the earthen wall went to the sky before they knew what was going on, and the huge explosion made the second line of defense of the US army almost instantly turn into daylight; Major Tom, who had just withdrawn to the second line of defense with men and equipment, was completely stunned by this scene. "Tom, have you retreated to the second line of defense? Did the Chinese tanks come into range of our tanks? The tanks behind our earthen walls are about to fire, Tom, and you're ready to put on a good show! "Jamio is asking and encouraging Tom." Colonel, forget about the tanks; They're all done, what are we going to do....." said Major Tom in despair......

"Colonel Guise, are you ready? Please immediately order the 7th Regiment to rush through the junction reinforcements and strike at the tanks and troops of the Chinese from the flank! Jamio asked the 7th Regiment for help, "We just finished assembling, and you can't stop the Chinese in just half an hour?" Colonel Guise asked; The Chinese have broken through our first line of defense, and the second line of defense is almost overwhelmed; I'm building a third line of defense, you have to be fast! Jamio said anxiously, "You hold on, my tank can break through the Chinese defense line in half an hour!" Colonel Guise said on his own. Putting down the phone, Guise immediately ordered Lieutenant Colonel Jerry to lead 16 tanks, 16 armored vehicles, and two battalions to the junction of the 5th and 7th Regiments.......

The 16 tanks and 16 armored vehicles of the 7th Regiment of the U.S. Army took the lead, and Lieutenant Colonel Jerry led two battalions of troops to the 1021 Heights with great momentum (this time the U.S. 7th Regiment adopted the method of concentrating on breaking through a little); "The two cars of No. 107 and No. 607 immediately rushed to reinforce the 1021 heights!" Zhao Feihu urgently ordered the No. 107 tank and No. 607 tank to rush to reinforcements, and at this time, the 7th Regiment of the US Army had rushed to a position 2,000 meters away from the 1021 heights; "Cars No. 108 and 608 aim at enemy tanks and fire!" Zhao Feihu shouted. At the same time, the No. 108 and No. 608 tanks, which had locked onto the target, opened fire on the American tanks at the same time, and the three American tanks were quickly destroyed; The rest of the US tanks were still rushing towards the 1021 heights at high speed, and the support detachment immediately installed anti-tank missiles on the No. 608 combat vehicle.......

When tank No. 108 and tank No. 608 destroyed another 3 US tanks, the remaining 10 US tanks had already rushed to a distance of about 1,000 meters from our tanks; "Boom, Boom, Boom ......" 5 American tanks were already firing in the direction of our tanks and combat vehicles, and the crew of Tank 108 suddenly felt two shocks to the hull (two shells hit Tank 108, and two pieces of reactive armor on the outside of the tank were knocked off); Tank No. 108 quickly adjusted its target and destroyed an American tank that rushed to the front. The armored vehicles of the US army have led the US troops to rush to a position about 500 meters away from the defense line of our army when our tanks and combat vehicles are concentrating their forces against the US tanks, and the large-caliber machine guns of the US army have already caused casualties to the blocking troops of the volunteers; Suddenly, a U.S. artillery shell exploded under the No. 608 tank, and the power and air wave of the huge explosion overturned the No. 608 tank, one wheel of the No. 608 tank was blown away, and two logistics soldiers who were installing anti-tank missiles for the second time on the No. 608 tank fell down with the rollover of the No. 608 tank.......
