Chapter 205 The vanguard of the 7th Regiment attacked, and the defense line of the 24th Division of the US Army collapsed!
That night, all the seven regiments were assembled.
Wu Qianli stood at the front of the team and shouted, "Comrades, tonight, we must break through the defense line of the 24th Division of the US Army!"
"This battle is directly related to the success or failure of the battle, no matter what, we must take the opposite position and completely crush the 24th Division of the US Army."
"China will win!"
"The Gang Seven Regiment will win!"
The fighters shouted in unison.
Wu Qianli waved his hand and ordered, "Enter the sortie position!"
"Yes!"
Then the fighters lined up in a neat line and rushed towards the sortie position.
At the same time, on artillery positions.
Camp Commander Yang shouted, "Comrades! It's time to be loyal to the country, and I'm fighting with the American devils!"
"In any case, you must blast a hole in me to cover the infantry charge."
"Yes!"
"Report to the battalion commander! The cannons are ready, please instruct!"
Battalion Commander Yang ordered loudly: "Open the cannon~!"
"Fire~!"
With the order of Battalion Commander Yang, the rumbling sound of artillery suddenly sounded on the artillery position.
"Chirp~!"
In the shrill whistling, one shell after another flew quickly towards the American positions in the distance.
At the same time, rumbling artillery was heard on the rest of the artillery positions.
With a piercing whistling sound, one after another shells flew towards the US positions like meteors.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
Violent explosions rang out one after another, and soon the American positions were engulfed in artillery fire.
At this time, the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment had already entered the sortie position and were ready to charge.
Wu Qianli clenched the steel gun in his hand and looked at the US military position in the distance.
In order to be able to break through the defense line of the US army, this time the volunteers also concentrated all their artillery fire and bombed the forward positions of the US army with all their might.
Looking at the American positions that were caught in artillery fire, the soldiers were also in high spirits, just waiting for the order to attack.
At this time, the artillery of the US army also began to carry out artillery countermeasures and began to shell the artillery positions of the volunteers.
Wu Qianli looked up at the pieces of artillery shells flying in the air, frowned slightly, and said, "The artillery fire of the American devils is too fierce, and our artillery may not last long."
"Be ready to fight, ready to attack."
"Yes!"
Wu Wanli hurriedly answered, and then conveyed the order.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, several shiny flares flew into the air.
This is a signal flare for the offensive.
Wu Qianli immediately jumped up and shouted, "Comrades! Rush with me!"
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Seventh Regiment, who had already been impatient, burst out into bursts of rage, and rushed out of the position one by one.
Yu Congrong also jumped up, clenched the steel gun in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Grandma's, rush forward, *** these *** American devils!"
"Kill~!"
Accompanied by the deafening shouts of killing, the heroic volunteer soldiers rushed towards the US military position with overwhelming momentum.
Fierce battles broke out completely.
In the headquarters of the 24th Division of the US Army, Major General Chachi held a telescope and observed the situation in the distance.
An American colonel next to him said cautiously: "According to the current situation, the squadron has invested tens of thousands of troops to launch a full-front onslaught."
Major General Chaqi's face became more serious, and he said, "No matter what, we must hold our position and stabilize our defensive line."
"Order all troops, give me a position to the death, no one is allowed to take half a step back, and those who violate the order will be severely punished."
「yessir!」
Major General Chadge knows very well that the most critical moment has now come, if so
They will not be able to effectively stop the attack of the volunteers, and their situation will become very dangerous.
At this time, an American staff officer came over and said, "Report to the sir, the general has sent a telegram asking about the state of the battle."
Major General Chachi replied: "Call back to the general immediately, the squadron has launched the most fierce offensive, and now we are in a very bad situation."
"We hope to get direct support to contain the attack of the squadron."
「yessir!」
A few minutes later, Ridgway called back again.
"Report to the chief, the general orders us to hold the defensive line, and we must not let the squadron *** team cross the defensive line for half a step."
"The general also said that if we lose our position, we will remove you from your post?"
Major General Chaqi snatched the telegram, read it carefully, and couldn't help but scold, "Fuck~!"
Although he was very angry, in the face of such a situation, Major General Chaqi was helpless, so he could only reply helplessly: "Call the general back and say that we will go all out to hold the position."
「yessir!」
Major General Chaqi knew in his heart that now they had no other choice but to go all out and fight with the volunteers.
On the battlefield where the artillery was blazing, Wu Qianli led the soldiers of the assault battalion and rushed towards the top of a mountain with the team.
On the U.S. military position on the mountain, the U.S. military's firepower was constantly spitting tongues of fire, sweeping down the rain of bullets.
The fighters who rushed to the front, and some people kept falling.
Wu Qianli gritted his teeth and shouted loudly, "Keep rushing for me, no matter what, you must rush up."
As he spoke, he kept shooting and killing all the American soldiers he could.
But the U.S. military occupies a favorable terrain, is condescending, and occupies a great advantage.
The Volunteer Army is attacking from the back, and it is not so easy to kill the enemy above.
In particular, several machine-gun firing points of the US army were also set up in quite tricky positions, blocking all the offensive routes of the fighters.
However, their location was relatively safe, and the volunteers tried their best to suppress their firepower, but the effect was not obvious.
Wu Qianli hid behind a large rock, threw the gun to Wu Wanli, and shouted, "Bazooka!"
Wu Wanli hurriedly handed over a Bazooka bazooka.
Wu Qianli took the bazooka, took a deep breath, saw the opportunity, set up the bazooka, and aimed at a firepower point of the US army.
"Chirp~!"
A shrill whistling sound sounded, and a rocket flew quickly.
The rockets drilled through the shooting holes of the U.S. bunkers, and then exploded in the bunkers.
"Boom~!"
With a violent explosion, the bunker was completely destroyed, and all the American soldiers inside were sent to hell.
At the same time, the mortars under Lei Gong also found the right time, aimed at the US positions on the mountain, and began to open artillery bombardment.
As one shell after another landed on the US positions, violent explosions sounded, and the US firepower was temporarily suppressed.
Wu Qianli saw the opportunity, led the soldiers to rush up, and soon rushed to a place only about twenty meters away from the American position.
Wu Qianli shouted loudly, "Grenade!"
Wu Wanli and the soldiers threw the grenades that had been prepared one after another.
In an instant, one grenade after another snorted black smoke and fell into the positions of the American troops.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
Violent explosions rang out one after another, and dozens of grenades exploded one after another on the positions of the American troops.
The American soldiers hiding in the trenches were suddenly turned on their backs by the bombers, and they were killed and wounded.
Wu Qianli shouted loudly, "Comrades, rush with me!"
"Kill~!"
The earth-shattering shouts of killing
sounded, and the heroic warriors continued to rush towards the mountain.
Under the cover of this round of grenade rain, Wu Qianli led the soldiers to rush up and rushed directly to the top of the mountain.
Wu Qianli jumped into a trench, and several American soldiers screamed in fright, turned around and ran.
Wu Qianli was not polite, directly picked up the submachine gun, aimed it at the US military and pulled the trigger.
"Da Da Da~!"
Dense gunfire rang out, a rain of bullets swept by, and those few enemies were instantly beaten into a sieve and killed on the spot.
More and more fighters took the opportunity to rush to the positions of the US troops, and the remaining US troops on the positions, seeing that the situation was not good, turned around and fled one by one in fright.
The warriors became more and more courageous, taking the opportunity to chase and kill all the way, killing the corpses of the enemies all over the field.
Most of the U.S. troops who fled in all directions could not escape the pursuit of the soldiers, and became the souls of the soldiers.
There are also some American soldiers who are more familiar with each other, and seeing that the situation is not good, they are so frightened that they raise their guns and surrender directly.
One by one did not run, but squatted directly in the trenches, raised their guns, and surrendered.
Because they understand that no matter how fast he runs on his legs, he can't be faster than a bullet.
Running at this time is looking for death, it is better to surrender directly, so that at least you can save your life.
Soon the hilltop position was completely occupied by the volunteer soldiers.
Wu Qianli shouted loudly, "Just the seventh regiment, follow me to continue to attack."
"Yes!"
Then Wu Qianli took the lead and rushed down the hillside and continued to rush to the south.
A new operational order has been issued, and all units continue to launch an onslaught, attacking with all their might, and must completely defeat the US 24th Division.
Therefore, after opening a few small gaps in this defensive line, the volunteers ordered the troops to quickly move forward and assault, with the purpose of taking advantage of this opportunity to completely overwhelm the deployment of the American army.
The entire U.S. defense line was still stable, but after a few gaps, it began to collapse rapidly.
Because Xiang Gang's 7th Regiment and their troops, who came in first, began to raid in all directions, completely disrupting the military deployment of the US army.
Some American troops who held their positions, seeing that there was also artillery fire behind them, thought that their rear was lost, and they were so frightened that they also took the initiative to abandon their positions and began to flee, resulting in the complete collapse of the entire defense line of the 24th Division soon.
After receiving the news, Major General Chaqi angrily scolded: "Fuck, you, it's all a bunch of rubbish, how could they be defeated by the squadron so quickly, this is simply a great shame."
An American colonel next to him hurriedly said, "Sir, the squadron has broken through our defense line, and now the entire defense line has completely collapsed, for your safety, it is better to retreat quickly."
Major General Chachi said angrily, "Can't you re-stabilize the defensive line?"
The American colonel said helplessly, "Some units have lost contact and cannot be reorganized, so ......."
Hearing this, Major General Chaqi also gave up resistance completely, and hurriedly said, "Since this is the case, then retreat quickly."
「yessir!」
Major General Chaqi did not hesitate, and after giving the order, he directly picked his son and ran away, for fear that if he ran slowly, he would not be able to run.
I have to say that this old guy still cherishes his life very much.
At this time, a staff officer shouted, "Sir, the general has sent a telegram."
But at this moment, he could no longer find his division commander, and Major General Chachi ran away.
After learning the news, the staff officer could only send a telegram back to Li Qiwei, and then he also packed his things and ran away with him.
Chief of Staff Dole took this telegram and came to Ridgway, and said with a frown: "General, I just received a telegram from the 24th Division, and now their defense line has been broken."
"The defense of the troops has basically collapsed, and the troops are retreating with all their strength to avoid being surrounded and annihilated by the main force of the squadron."
"What?"
Li Qiwei's eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise, and asked, "How could it be so fast, what is this 24th Division for, how could they be defeated in such a piece."
Chief of Staff Dole said helplessly: "Well, it's not clear about the lowly position, but it's true, and I ask the general to calm his anger."
Li Qi said angrily: 'What about Chaqi? What is this bastard doing?
Chief of Staff Dole said helplessly: "The squadron is attacking rapidly, it is said that he has begun to retreat with his headquarters, and now the entire 24th Division has been completely defeated."
"We can't go back to heaven."
Li Qiwei slapped the table and shouted, "Chaqi is a complete idiot, I'm going to remove him."
"I'm going to remove him! Take this bastard to court-martial."
Chief of Staff Dole hurriedly persuaded: "The general is angry, even if he is sent to a court-martial, then he must wait until this battle is over."
"The question is what to do now?"
Li Qiwei frowned slightly and said, "The defense line of the 24th Division has collapsed, and the enemy has opened this gap, and it will definitely advance further south, so we must block their attack."
Li Qiwei asked, "Behind the 24th Division, it should be a British unit."
Chief of Staff Dole nodded and said, "Yes, it's the 29th Brigade of the British Army, I think they can try to stabilize the situation."
Li Qiwei ordered with a serious face: "Send them a telegram immediately, order them, immediately put me on top and stop the attack of the squadron."
"It is important to ensure the safety of the defensive line, cover the retreat of the 24th Division, and rebuild its defensive line."
"As long as they can complete this task, I'm sure I'll give them a lot of credit."
「yessir!」
Chief of Staff Dole hurriedly answered, and then ordered someone to deliver the order.
Li Qiwei looked at the sand table in front of him, frowned and said, "It seems that we still underestimated the squadron, and it is really unreasonable for them to break through the defense line of the 24th Division so quickly."
Chief of Staff Dole said: "In the past few years that the 24th Division has been pampered in Japan, its combat effectiveness has seriously declined, and these battles have not been very good."
"In addition, China sent the most elite Gangqi Regiment as the vanguard, and it is said that it forcibly tore a hole in the defense line of the 24th Division."
Li Qi scolded angrily: "No need to make excuses, no matter how elite a small army is, it is impossible to decide the overall situation."
"For a rice bucket like Chaqi, it must be severely punished."
"Other people's positions are well guarded, and their positions have been broken through so quickly."
"If this gap can't be closed, it will definitely affect the outcome of the entire battle, no matter what, this gap must be filled."
Major General Dole hurriedly said, "General rest assured, we will definitely do our best to resist the attack of the squadron *** team and restore the defensive line as soon as possible."
