Chapter 177: Capture Hengcheng! The 9th Regiment of the US Army was defeated!

Temporary regimental headquarters of the 9th Regiment of the U.S. Army

"Report to the sir, there's an urgent call from headquarters!"

"The general ordered us to stop retreating immediately, build fortifications on the spot, and stop the enemy army!"

A U.S. military staff officer handed the telegram to the regiment commander and said helplessly.

「Shit!」

"Hold off those ghost legions until dawn? Has the general forgotten that the damned Han Eighth Division has been defeated!"

"With just one regiment of ours, how many casualties will we have to pay to hold off their main force on the Eastern Front?!"

The commander of the American Army lifted his hat and threw it on the ground, scolding angrily.

"Sir, I'm not done yet......

"The general was greatly annoyed by the fall of Yokojo and told us to hold out until after day...... Cooperate with the reinforcements and counterattack Hengcheng!"

The U.S. staff officer swallowed his saliva, paused for half a second, and added in a low voice.

"What did you say?"

"Counterattack Hengcheng? Shall we?"

The American Legion's eyes widened, and he clenched his fists with a little grief and indignation.

The U.S. Ninth Regiment managed to escape the damn encirclement of Hengcheng, and now it is really depressing to order them to prepare to kill back.

"Sir, the squadron is coming, please make a decision early!"

The U.S. military staff officer sighed and reminded.

"Let the soldiers build improvised fortifications on the spot to block the offensive of the squadron, and we will be safe at dawn......

The commander of the American Army hesitated for a second, then ordered with a wry smile.

Despite his reluctance, he still chose to obey the order.

It has to be said that the firepower of the US army is really powerful, and with the terrifying quality of individual soldiers, it barely repelled the attack of the volunteers and held it until dawn.

But by this time, the 7th Regiment and some friendly troops had already broken through to the flank of the 9th Regiment of the US Army, ready to launch a fierce attack at any time.

Seeing this, the Ninth Regiment of the U.S. Army was worried about being surrounded and annihilated, so it did not dare to launch a counterattack on Hengcheng.

The Allied command issued seven orders in a row, and the U.S. Ninth Regiment reluctantly attacked Hengcheng twice, and was almost bitten and unable to withdraw.

Until dusk, the 9th Regiment of the US Army was afraid of a sneak attack at night, and hurriedly retreated with the fire support of tanks and aircraft.

However, they didn't know that the Seventh Regiment had quietly touched the inevitable path for the retreat of the Ninth Regiment of the US Army. ……………………………………

Temporary regimental headquarters of the Seventh Regiment

"Good news, Captain!"

"According to the reconnaissance, the U.S. Ninth Regiment has indeed retreated and is heading for our position."

Pinghe looked at Wu Qianli and reported.

"I'll just say, how can the American devils desperately counterattack Hengcheng."

"If they had the guts, they wouldn't have been able to withdraw from Hengcheng in the first place."

Wu Qianli was not surprised, and said with a slight smile.

"Commander, our tactical ambush has already sent the Eastern Front Command."

"The commander has agreed to mobilize friendly forces to fully cooperate, and is ready to encircle and annihilate the Ninth Regiment of the U.S. Army!"

Mei Sheng handed the reply telegram to Wu Qianli and said excitedly.

"Have you completed the reconnaissance in the direction of Tohei-ri?"

"How are the U.S. troops moving, and are there any signs of preparation?"

Wu Qianli thought for a moment very calmly and asked.

"Tohei-ri direction...... I sent a company of elite scouts, and I guess I'll be back soon."

Pinghe nodded slightly.

"Report, the reconnaissance in the direction of Tohei-ri has been completed, and there is no movement!"

At this time, Wu Jin, the commander of the reconnaissance company not far away, hurriedly ran over and replied panting.

"Okay!"

"Commander, this time we have no worries, we can eat this American devil fiercely!"

Yu Congrong's battle intent instantly surged, and he laughed.

"Yes, brother, let's fight hard, just so I can build more merits and stop those people!"

Wu Wanli echoed excitedly.

"Commander, the ambush position has been constructed."

"I just checked the artillery position, and our mortars can completely cover eighty percent of the American troops in the ambush circle."

Lei Gong opened his chapped lips and said confidently.

"Okay, tell the comrades, when the American devils come, block them with firepower and kill their living forces."

"Wait until the friendly forces are killed, and then completely encircle and annihilate this American army, don't be reckless."

Wu Qianli nodded slightly, and cautiously ordered.

He understood very well that the Battle of Hengcheng was just an appetizer, and it was not worth losing too many elites for it.

The next fiasco in Tohei, which will occur according to the process, is the time when the Seventh Regiment will turn things around and shine. ………………………………………

A few hours later

"Report to the head of the regiment, the Ninth Regiment of the American devils has approached a few kilometers away, and it is estimated that it will soon plunge headlong into the ambush circle."

Pinghe touched Wu Qianli's side and said in a low voice.

"It's finally here, let the battalions be ready for battle, and let go of the fight later, and take it directly from these American devils after the fight."

Wu Qianli's eyes were reflective, and he waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes!"

Pinghe responded in a low voice, and quickly conveyed the order.

It didn't take long for a few beams of headlights to come from the intersection, and the beams of light grew more and more.

"Rumble......

As the sound of the motors of US military cars and tanks getting closer and closer, Wu Qianli and others also clenched their guns and slowly raised their muzzles.

Finally, when all the nine regiments of the U.S. Army entered the ambush circle, Wu Qianli raised his right hand violently.

In an instant, a flare shot into the air.

The dazzling light emitted and illuminated the night as if it were day.

The dense US convoy below had nothing to hide, and was completely exposed to the fire of the Seventh Regiment.

"Fire!"

Lei Gong pulled his hoarse voice and roared angrily.

The fighters of the artillery battalion immediately picked up the mortar shells and quickly stuffed them into the chambers.

"Whoa—"

"Whoa—"

Countless shells with a whistling sound fell on the US convoy in a graceful arc.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom!"

Violent explosions bloomed in all directions in the US military formation, and red clouds of explosion fire rose up, overpowering the light of the flares.

"Fire!"

Wu Qianli shouted, raised the muzzle of the gun, and fired the first shot.

"Dada......"

Soon, rows of gunfire lit up the entire ambush position, and hot bullets swept towards the American troops on the car, splashing a mist of blood.

Below

A shell landed next to an armored vehicle and exploded violently in an instant, sending snow particles flying sideways and almost blowing the vehicle over.

The American commander inside felt a violent shaking, and his forehead hit the iron sheet on the side, and the blood flowed.

"Sir, we've been ambushed! Move to a safe location!"

The U.S. non-commissioned officer on the side was about to run out with the commander of the U.S. Corps.

「Fuckyou!」

"Are you going out now to find death?!"

The commander of the American regiment scolded and pulled the guard back.

"Bell ......"

As soon as the words fell, a crisp sound of bullets hitting the steel plate of the armored car sounded, and it was very dense.

「Shit! How can there be such a powerful firepower, and how many people are there in the volunteer army?!"

"Is our air force all waste? It is so easy to put the main force of the Volunteer Army in the rear of our army, and it will not be possible to block it for a while!"

The commander of the American army was quite annoyed and scolded.

"Sir, the situation is urgent, give the order first what to do and then scold."

The U.S. non-commissioned officer on the side wiped his cold sweat and reminded

"Immediately telegraphed for help, saying that the elite 9th Regiment of the 2nd Division fought bravely, seized the fighters, and dragged the strength of a division of the Volunteer Army."

"Ask for reinforcements to quickly arrive on the battlefield and complete the encirclement and annihilation, we can take the opportunity to immediately counterattack Hengcheng, defeat the eastern front of the squadron on all fronts, and even cross the Han River!"

The commander of the American Army thought about it, and his eyes lit up in an instant, and he said very artistically and domineeringly.
