Chapter 80: The Last Stand (Plus Update)
"The Seventh Interspersed Company, the whole army marches, the target, the highest command post of the US Army on the Eastern Front!"
Wu Qianli directly and loudly ordered the comrades of the Seventh Interspersed Company, and everyone immediately got up reflexively and stepped forward with firm steps, this moment is finally coming.
"His grandmother's, it's always our turn to run the platoon and have a good meal in this battle, and blow up the fuck."
As the prelude to the war slowly opened, there was also a trace of fluctuation on Lei Gong's originally calm face.
The so-called firing means that the soldiers of the artillery platoon have loaded the mortar with shells and ammunition, which is used to refer to the preparation before firing.
In the first few battles, although the cannons performed well, they were all under control due to the restrictions of the cannonballs, and they were always holding back a lot of energy in their hearts, waiting for the next battle to be released.
Unlike the excitement of the soldiers of the 7th Interspersed Company, the American officers Miller and William were all leading the way forward in fear.
At first, U.S. officer Miller still wanted to take Wu Qianli in a deviant direction, make a big bend, and then march to the Supreme Command of the U.S. Army's Central Line.
However, Wu Qianli saw the direction they were heading in from the small dynamic combat map, and when the number of American troops became fewer and fewer, he directly put the bayonet on the neck of the American officer Miller again.
After Miller and William realized Wu Qianli's insight, they didn't dare to play tricks and honestly led them in the direction of the headquarters of the 1st Marine Division.
After the Seventh Interspersed Company had gone on like this, the frequency of the white snow falling on them slowed down, and even the howling cold wind seemed to be weakened a lot.
"Brother, it seems that God is helping us with this ghost weather, and it has finally stopped a little."
Wu Wanli felt the weakening of the wind and snow, and I said to Wu Qianli with some joy.
However, when he finished speaking, he found that no one in the Seventh Interspersed Company answered his words, but there was a trace of solemnity on the faces of Wu Qianli and the others.
"Gua Wazi, do you really think that this ghost weather has stopped, and it will be of such great benefit to us."
Lei Gong stretched out a pair of calloused hands, feeling the decrease in the snow particles falling from the sky, but instead of the slightest joy, he sighed slowly.
Seeing their appearance, Wu Wanli immediately scratched his head with some doubts, and then just as he was about to continue asking, Wu Qianli in front suddenly made a gesture to stop the soldiers of the seventh interspersed company, and suddenly became vigilant.
"It's not good, it's an American devil's plane! Everyone immediately lay down on the spot, hidden, and not be discovered! ”
After Wu Qianli noticed that something was wrong, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the movement in the distance.
After listening for a while, his keen sense of hearing immediately detected the roar of the engines of the American planes, and immediately caused all the comrades of the 7th Interspersed Company to lie on the snow.
"Buzz Buzz-"
Not long after the soldiers of the 7th Interspersed Company had taken cover, the US planes flew over their heads with a roar, but they did not stay long before continuing to fly forward.
Each soldier of the Seventh Interspersed Company was wearing a white cloak, and their bodies and heads were covered with snow and frost, so it was difficult for the US planes to detect them.
"I'm afraid there is another reason, it is that these American devils don't believe that there are volunteers who have been killed in this position."
Wu Qianli looked at the plane in the sky and muttered silently.
Their goal was certainly not the 7th Interspersed Company, but to rush to the front line, and the slowing down of the wind and snow gave the soldiers a better living environment, but also gave the US planes a greater use.
"I see, it's as simple as I thought, so it's better to make the wind and snow more vigorous."
Wu Wanli blinked his tired eyes, looked at the US military plane in the distance, and shook his head helplessly.
Now he finally understood what Lei Gong's words meant, although there was nothing wrong with the Seventh Interspersed Company at the moment, but those volunteer comrades-in-arms in the distance might have to suffer.
"Let's all pull ourselves together and keep going, if we want to make it easier for our allies, then do what is in front of us."
After it was determined that the US military plane had flown away, Wu Qianli took the 7th Interspersed Company and went deeper into the snow curtain.
On the way, Wu Qianli followed the guidance on the small dynamic map, and asked the company to stop or make a detour several times, and even passed by the US reconnaissance team on one occasion.
Narrowly evaded all the reconnaissance and vigilance of the US military, and finally arrived at a position not far from the US army's Eastern Front Supreme Command.
After arriving at this position, Miller, an American officer who had been leading the way for the Seventh, looked at Wu Qianli next to him with a little incredulity.
He originally thought that with so many command troops and reconnaissance teams near the command post, this arrogant guy would always be discovered, and he would still find a chance to slip away when the time came.
But he didn't expect that this volunteer officer seemed to be like a god, and he helped the gang to skillfully evade all the alert troops of the US army and enter the deepest heart of the US army.
"Oh, this gentleman I have to admire you, it's as if you were blessed by God, and if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would have been unbelievable."
Miller, an American officer, praised in a whispered circle of English in the circle, as if he was foreshadowing what he was saying, but his mouth was open, as if he had not finished speaking.
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, but it's a pity, I'm an Oriental, but I don't believe in your set of God's values, compared to any fairy God, I believe that man will conquer the sky."
Wu Qianli finished speaking, glanced at Miller, and didn't think about nonsense anymore, and he didn't have the slightest interest in what he wanted to say.
"This gentleman, although it is indeed a great miracle and glory that you can kill this step, but if you continue to fight like this, it is very likely that your entire army will be wiped out, and it will be useless to the world."
"Why don't you join the liberal democratic camp of our US military, although I am only a junior officer, my father is a high-ranking officer in the US military, and he will definitely be able to introduce you to a good treatment and official position."
Miller, an American officer, clenched his fists and cautiously suggested to Wu Qianli as if he had made up his mind.
It's not that Miller is too naïve and stupid, but he understands that at this point, he has no use value, and he may be directly frozen through his body by the military assassin and become a corpse buried in the snow.
Instead of this, it is better to try to find an opportunity to persuade Wu Qianli, after all, in the eyes of their US military, no country or group is as important as an individual, and interests and the glory of individual freedom are more important.
William, an American officer on the other side, heard Miller's words, and his eyes widened instantly, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't believe that his old friend was so bold.
However, according to his observations, it seems that only Wu Qianli is proficient in English in the entire army, and the other volunteer soldiers should not understand these words of persuasion to surrender.
So William also had some unlikely expectations in his heart, and turned his head to look at Wu Qianli.
Wu Qianli listened to the words of this US military officer, and his heart was almost laughing to death, who gave these two the courage to take the ball, and actually wanted to persuade him to surrender.
"If you talk any more nonsense, I promise you won't see the sun tomorrow."
He glanced at them coldly, and a murderous aura made Miller and William instantly shut their mouths, and no longer dared to speak.
After a short walk, the U.S. military patrol force became smaller, and it was clear that they had great confidence in the safety of this heart.
And as time passed, the light in the sky gradually dimmed.
The murderous night shrouded this white snow, and under the dual effect of clouds and heavy snow, the white moon and even the stars in the sky did not have a trace of light.
Fortunately, when Wu Qianli replenished the soldiers, he explained to the boss in advance that soldiers with night blindness did not want anything, so the 7th Interspersed Company did not have to worry about this disadvantage in the night battle.
For the sake of insurance and to minimize the risk, Wu Qianli and Pinghe took the reconnaissance platoon to observe the deployment of the highest command post of the US army on the Eastern Front.
"Company commander, the U.S. military's firepower points are very well arranged, and they are backed by powerful and dangerous terrain, if we rely on our people to attack, I'm afraid they won't even be able to make a little waves, and they will be eaten up directly by the U.S. military."
After arriving at the reconnaissance position, Pinghe carefully observed and made a conclusion to Wu Qianli.
Wu Qianli took a telescope and took a look at the situation inside the command post and found that the US military's defense and firepower were indeed very superior.
However, the US soldiers in charge of guarding the command post had a relaxed expression on their faces, chatting with their companions unguardedly, and there were even US non-commissioned officers who secretly drank some alcohol inside.
It's no wonder that these American soldiers are too vigilant, and if your enemy is blocked by several main American divisions, I am afraid that you will play more brazenly than them.
"It seems that if we want to fight, we have to catch them off guard, this is our greatest advantage, and we must not fall into a war of attrition and a tough battle."
Wu Qianli slowly put down the binoculars and whispered.
However, in the current US military command post, although most people are not very vigilant, they are still ironclad, and Wu Qianli has observed for a long time, but he has not found any flaws.
However, just as Wu Qianli took off his military hat and grabbed his hair with a little annoyance, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered something important.
"yes, why do you keep thinking about fighting stereotypes in the traditional way? I still have what the system gives me, it's useless. ”
Wu Qianli silently sighed in his heart, and on the way back, he also solved all the open and dark outposts arranged by the US army on the periphery, and only then did he bring the soldiers of the 7th Interspersed Company to the front of the headquarters of the 1st Marine Division.
"Use Battlefield Opportunities to get cards."
After Wu Qianli saw that everything was ready, he muttered silently in his heart.
"Ding-A host opens the battlefield opportunity to obtain card utility, please pay close attention to the changes in the battlefield and seize the opportunity."
The cold system prompt echoed in Wu Qianli's mind and disappeared in an instant, but he didn't even say anything specific.
"Pinghe, you and all the comrades of the reconnaissance platoon are dispersed, pay close attention to the situation in the headquarters of the 1st Marine Division, and tell me immediately if you find any abnormalities."
Wu Qianli watched for a while and didn't find any movement, but he also calmed down, and simply let Pinghe go to look for an opportunity first, while he continued to lie on the cold snow and observe the movements of the American army.
Pinghe didn't have any extra nonsense, just nodded slightly, slowly got up from the snow, and quietly left the original position with the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon.
In the command post of the 1st Marine Division, the beeping and beeping telegrams were endless, but Smith, as the supreme commander, sat on a chair quite leisurely and took a sip of coffee from his subordinates, quite leisurely.
Although he maintained his comfortable life during the Great War, he was by no means a straw bag who did not do practical things in the military.
"Tell the troops stationed in the first line of defense, but if they want to supply and air force resources, I will give them more supplements, but in terms of reinforcements, I can't allocate more troops to them for the time being, so that they can continue to hold on, and I must not put in a volunteer army."
Smith sipped the steaming coffee in his hand as he gave his order in unquestionable words.
After processing the battle reports on the front line, he frowned and observed a large combat map in front of him with his back hand, which marked the general situation of the US army and the volunteer army in great detail.
"General Smith, General Almond has sent you another urgent telegram asking you to see it for you."
As Smith was carefully calculating the battle situation, a discordant voice instantly disrupted his thoughts.
He endured the dissatisfaction in his heart, snatched the emergency telegram in his hand, and after looking at it a few times, he instantly frowned, and threw the telegram back on the table.
"This Almond is still the commander of the Tenth Army, he is simply a straw bag who does not understand military affairs, they underestimate the strength of the Volunteer Army too much, and they look up to themselves too highly."
As soon as Smith remembered the contents of the telegram just now, a nameless anger ignited in his heart.
The telegram was saying that the Eastern Front Corps led by Smith was too conservative, allowing them to actively defend, and while stabilizing the defensive line, they occasionally took the initiative to attack and destroy the living forces of the Volunteer Army.
If it was just that, Smith endured the telegram, and the upper side made a semi-mocking rebuke to him for forcibly disobeying the opinion and building the Xiajieyuli airfield as a way out, feeling that he was too uncourageous to face the volunteers.
"Power the front line, let them stabilize their positions, not act rashly, we must let the volunteers drag into our war of attrition, and give full play to our firepower and logistics advantages."
Smith paced back and forth irritably, and then immediately gave the opposite order to Almond, and everything was safe in his mind.
“ Yes, sir!”
After hearing this, the subordinates did not dare to intervene to annoy Smith, who was now slightly angry, and hurriedly fled from the front of the general.
Smith gave the call, and after giving the order, he slowly sat back in his original seat, but he still frowned, and seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart.
"No......"
Smith sat for a while, then finally stood up irritably, and picked up the phone with some unease, intending to personally order something.
But today I don't know why, I used to have a good phone, but now it suddenly failed, and he tried several times in a row to no avail.
"Bang-"
"Oh, damn it! Immediately have someone check the phone line to see what is wrong, and fix it for me. ”
Smith frowned and slammed the phone down on the table, leaning over and yelling at his men.
The adjutant, who had been following Smith for a long time, understood that when the general was irritable, he should never talk too much, and to touch his moldy head, he bowed directly and ran down to find the men of the engineer battalion.
Soon after, some U.S. sappers at the command post came out to repair the telephone line that angered Smith.
However, the American soldiers, who were still complaining about the cold weather outside, did not know that not far from the snowdrift at their feet, Pinghe and several soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon wearing white cloaks were watching them fiercely.
Wu Jin in the reconnaissance platoon looked at Pinghe, made a battle gesture to him, and showed a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
However, Pinghe frowned and glanced at these American soldiers who had just come out, but he shook his head, obviously not planning to do it immediately.
First, these US troops have just left the command post, and they are not far from the alert troops in the rear, so there are great hidden dangers.
Second, they have not yet figured out what the movements and goals of these US troops are after they leave the command post, and if they act rashly, they may miss a greater opportunity.
In this way, without the US sappers noticing, Pinghe and the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon, like ghosts, quietly followed behind them.
At the same time, Pinghe also arranged for a reconnaissance platoon soldier to go, like Wu Qianli, who had obtained the situation explosively, and also took a small group of people from the Seventh Interspersed Company and quietly followed nearby.
Because of General Smith's anger, the US subordinates who did not dare to slack off directly arranged for twenty or thirty US sappers to come out to check the situation of the telephone line to show their attention to the orders of their superiors.
Anyway, it's not them who are sent out to perform tasks and suffer, and they only need one sentence to have the opportunity to pat their boss's ass, so why not.
"Oh, it's ridiculous, just for a damn phone line, and I have to brave the wind and snow to come out myself."
Gleike, the commander of the U.S. engineer platoon, complained and led the team forward, and the sappers behind him also scolded and followed their commanders, obviously these people were quite angry.
Wu Qianli, who was lurking in the snow not far away, was quite proficient in English, and when he heard these funny complaints, the corners of his mouth rose slightly in an instant, and he probably understood the situation of these American troops.
"It seems that the god-level opportunity card of the system has come into play, just twenty or thirty US troops, and if they are done quickly, there shouldn't be much movement."
Wu Qianli smiled slightly, then thought about it slightly, and then let his subordinates and the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon silently complete the encirclement of this American army.
However, Wu Qianli did not immediately give the order to do it, but quietly waited for a short time, and waited until the American sappers repaired the telephone line and rushed back, and then he gave the order to fight.
In this dark night, where there was hardly any light, not even the faint cold reflection of the previous bayonets could be seen, and the soldiers of the 7th Interspersed Company stepped on the thick snow and quietly approached the American troops.
"Poof—"
Pinghe first locked on an American sapper on the periphery, instantly pulled him aside, covered his mouth, and swiped the bayonet neatly on the neck of the American soldier.
The red blood flowed on the snow in an instant, and after a few seconds, the American soldier's eyes were wide and there was only silent horror.
After the soldiers of the 7th Interspersed Company killed seven or eight American soldiers in such a neat manner, the remaining American soldiers finally became vigilant.
However, when they were about to raise the muzzle of their guns, they were instantly subdued by a nearby soldier of the 7th Interspersed Company.
Greck, the engineer platoon commander at the innermost side of the U.S. Army, was lucky enough to pull out the pistol on his waist.
However, before he could even exert his strength when he aimed his fingers, he was kicked to the bone of his hand by a sharp flying kick.
The sharp pain caused his hand to loosen in an instant, and the pistol fell to his feet with a clatter.
Wu Qianli's powerful right hand directly choked his neck, and the bayonet in his left hand was still against his pounding heart.
"Cooperate with us or die immediately, you have to choose it yourself."
Wu Qianli didn't have the slightest nonsense, and directly threw a cold word to Greck.
Greck, the commander of the U.S. Army Engineer Platoon, looked at his companion who was talking and laughing just now, but now he had turned into a corpse on the snow.
He looked at Wu Qianli in front of him again, his brain went blank for a moment, and he was stunned for a long time before he understood what was going on.
Wu Qianli saw that the American soldier did not speak, and the bayonet in his hand was slightly forced, directly approaching the deeper position of his chest by an inch.
The stabbing pain in front of his heart made Greck instantly and completely awake, and the breath of death forced him to raise his hands directly to express his surrender.
At the same time, under Wu Qianli's orders, the soldiers of the 7th Interspersed Company also left a few other American soldiers alive.
Although Wu Qianli doesn't know how to use them for the time being, keeping these U.S. troops will definitely be able to play some role.
"Ding-Congratulations to the host for successfully seizing the system opportunity to obtain the battlefield opportunity provided by the card, and triggering the system hidden mission, please choose whether to claim it or not."
Just as Wu Qianli was thinking about his next battlefield move, the cold system and prompt sound echoed in Wu Qianli's mind again.
"Hidden Mission: With a small number of soldiers of the 7th Interspersed Company and existing U.S. captives, infiltrate the headquarters of the 1st Marine Division, blow up the tanks and heavy weapons inside the U.S. Army, and after completion, you will be able to choose a system reward that you have already received."
