Chapter 206 The 29th Brigade of the British Army? Shine!
Late at night, Shiji
The boss stood in front of the sand table, staring at the sand table, his brows furrowed deeply, as if he was deducing the battle situation on the front line.
At this time, Chief of Staff Xie walked over quickly and said, "Boss, that kid Wu Qianli has made meritorious service again!"
"He led the Gang 7th Regiment to cooperate with the 27th Army and successfully broke through the defense line of the 24th Division of the US Army."
"At present, the entire 24th Division of the US Army has collapsed on all fronts, and they are retreating on all fronts, and our army will take advantage of the situation to continue to launch a fierce attack."
"If nothing else, we can take advantage of this opportunity to open a breakthrough here."
The boss was also overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly lay on the sand table, staring at the direction of the attack of the 27th Army, and said:
"Okay, Qianli deserves to be a tiger general!"
"The 24th Division of the U.S. Army was really beaten to the point that the whole line collapsed."
Chief of Staff Xie nodded and said with a smile: "The front line reports that all units are advancing with all their might, and the U.S. military can no longer organize effective resistance."
"Haha~!"
The boss couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "Hahaha...... Okay!"
"I've heard before that the 24th Division of the U.S. Army is weak in combat, but when I look at it today, it's really true."
"The first to open this gap, then take advantage of this opportunity to continue to advance south, and must continue to expand the advantage on the left flank."
"Yes!"
Chief of Staff Xie hurriedly responded.
The boss continued: "Li Qiwei, the old fox, just wants to take this opportunity to gradually drag us down, and we must not let him get his wish."
"No matter what, we must not let them get their wish."
"But Ridgway will definitely be on guard, and if something goes wrong on their side, they will definitely find a way to fill the gap."
"Therefore, we must not take it lightly."
Chief of Staff Xie pointed to the sand table and said, "Judging from the current situation, the US army should be a unit of the British army behind the 24th Division of the US army."
"Now that the 24th Division of the U.S. Army has been defeated by us, they must be on top and try to continue to stop us."
The boss frowned and muttered for a moment, and said, "They must not be allowed to rearrange the defense line, if that is the case, it will be a big trouble."
"They're all mechanized troops, and once they're given a chance to breathe, their reinforcements will come to their aid quickly."
"At that point, it won't be so easy for us to try to save the day."
"So fight as hard as you can, and continue to launch the onslaught."
"Before they could set up a new defensive line, they pursued all the way, and together with this British unit, they were also crushed."
"In this way, we can achieve a decisive victory in this direction, which is very beneficial for the whole situation."
Chief of Staff Xie nodded and said, "What the boss said is very true, then I will immediately send a telegram to the Ninth Corps and ask them to make specific arrangements according to your instructions."
The boss nodded slightly and said, "Let's do this first!"
"By the way, tell Wu Qianli that the military rank system has progressed, let him seize the opportunity, hit the enemy army hard, and make more great achievements!"
"In addition, let the front line report the specific situation at any time, just say that I am waiting for their good news, and victory or defeat is in one move."
"Yes!"
Chief of Staff Xie hurriedly answered, turned around and went to convey the order. ……………………………………
Wu Qianli climbed a mountain with the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment and looked at the situation on the battlefield.
Wu Wanli said excitedly, "Brother, the American devils have been defeated on all fronts, it's really good."
Yu Congrong smiled and said, "Leader, what are you waiting for!"
"Let's continue to attack, just take advantage of this opportunity to destroy more enemies."
Wu Qianli said, "
Don't worry, even if we have the right to decide, we have to cooperate with our allies."
At this time, Mei Sheng ran up quickly and said, "Report to the regiment commander, I have just contacted the head of the 27th Army, we can continue to attack boldly and confidently."
"The commander of the 27th Army just wants us to pursue with all our might, maximize the results of the battle as much as possible, strive to destroy more enemies, and completely destroy the American defense line, and they will quickly follow."
Hearing this, Wu Qianli couldn't help but show a smile and said:
"That way, we'll be free to have a good fight with these dogs."
"All of the Gang Seven Regiment have it!"
"Here!"
The soldiers of the Seventh Regiment responded in unison.
Wu Qianli waved his hand and ordered with a serious face: "Follow me to pursue!"
"Yes!"
The warriors replied with a bang.
Pinghe had just finished scouting, and ran back and said, "Regiment Commander, the American devils are fleeing south with all their might."
Wu Qianli nodded slightly and said, "Okay! In that case, the next step is to do it."
"We know the terrain of this area relatively well, and we'll outflank it from there later."
"I will definitely be able to get ahead of the brothers' troops, intercept some of the enemy, and maybe even take the opportunity to catch a big fish!" ………………
The Seventh Regiment had sent people to reconnoiter the enemy situation in the vicinity before, so they had an understanding of this terrain in advance.
Knowing that there is a path next to it, you can directly intersperse it in front of the US military.
So, Wu Qianli took the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment to follow this path and began a big detour towards the rear of the US army.
At this moment, the 24th Division of the US Army has been completely defeated, and they have been routed on all fronts.
So the volunteers have nothing to fear at all, just chase all the way forward.
Wu Qianli was also relatively familiar with this path, and led a group of sharp knives to open the way in front.
Wu Qianli and the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment went all the way over the mountains and mountains and came straight to the green mountains.
The journey was relatively smooth, and soon arrived in the Qingshanli area.
Wu Qianli climbed to the top of a mountain and held a telescope to observe.
It was found that there was an enemy in the valley, and they were busy building positions, and the scene was a little chaotic.
To the north, the 24th Division of the U.S. Army continued to retreat.
Now Wu Qianli can be sure that the 24th Division of the US Army has been completely defeated and cannot stop the attack of the main force of the Volunteer Army at all.
The 29th Brigade of the British Army, having received an order from Ridgway, was preparing to meet the 24th Division of the US Army, preparing to resist the attack of the Volunteers in order to stabilize the defensive line.
At this moment, in the headquarters of the 29th Brigade of the British Army, the brigade commander, Major General Brody, was staring at the sand table in front of him, with a sad face.
A British colonel next to him frowned and said, "General, according to the information we have so far, the 24th Division has been completely defeated and can no longer form an effective combat force."
"And the main force of the squadron, at least tens of thousands of people, is pursuing with all its might."
"Now their vanguard is less than ten miles from our defensive area, and they are advancing at a fast pace, because the 24th Division is no longer able to stop their offensive."
Brody's brow furrowed even deeper, and he couldn't help but ask, "Do you think it's possible to stop their attack now?"
The colonel frowned and said, "The enemy's offensive is fierce, and judging by the current trend, it may be difficult for us to resist their attack."
Hearing this, Brody's face became even more ugly.
Because in the previous battle, the British army had already had two elite rifle regiments and heavy tank regiments defeated by the volunteers, and suffered heavy losses, and some units were even close to being wiped out.
In the previous battles, the British army, which was the second largest troop contributor, suffered heavy losses.
These battles have already beaten the British army to a psychological shadow, and Brody is also afraid of himself
I have followed in their footsteps.
Brody said angrily, "All of the American divisions have been routed by them, can one of our brigades stop their attack?"
"They want us to go up and cover the retreat of their 24th Division, which is really unreasonable."
At this moment, Brody, who already had a psychological shadow, had already given birth to the idea of retreating.
However, if he directly said retreat, it would be too shameless, so he needed a reasonable excuse.
The British colonel was also a human spirit, and when he heard this, he didn't know what Brody meant, so he hurriedly said, "What Your Excellency General said is very true, they just want us to send us to death."
Brody nodded and said, "Ridgway, this guy is so hateful, we can't let them use us as gunmen."
"We don't do stupid things like wasting the lives of our soldiers in order to cover their retreat."
The British colonel hurriedly said, "What Your Excellency General said is extremely true, but if we retreat directly, it will be difficult for the headquarters to explain."
Brody nodded and said, "If they can win the battle, can't we?"
"One of their divisions has been defeated, and they are still counting on our brigade to save them, and they are even more ashamed."
"In this case, immediately order all troops to be ready to retreat at any time, we cannot use them as spearmen."
"But we can't let them grab the handle, so we have to resist anyway."
"Let the forward troops, symbolically resist, and once they find that the main force of the squadron is attacking, they will immediately retreat to minimize the casualties of the troops."
「yessir!」
The colonel hurriedly answered, turned and went to deliver the order.
I have to say that this Brody is still very cunning.
He didn't want to be used as a gun by Ridgway, and he didn't want to be caught by him, so he prepared to resist a little, and then retreated. ………………………………
At the same time, Pinghe took the reconnaissance battalion to complete the investigation and introduced the situation in Qingshanli to Wu Qianli.
After hearing this, Wu Qianli smiled and said, "Okay! They are not well prepared, and a large number of routs have retreated, so they must also be unstable, and we can take advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack."
"The enemy would certainly not have expected that we would arrive in the green mountains so quickly, and a sudden attack would definitely catch them by surprise."
"If all goes well, there's no problem taking the valley ahead."
"By the way, they don't have a lot of troops stationed in the valley, are there any reinforcements nearby?"
Pinghe replied, "They are sparsely armed and demoralized, and no reinforcements have been found at this time."
Wu Qianli only hesitated slightly, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's done! Give the order at once, and the whole regiment will prepare to attack."
"Yes!"
Under the command of Wu Qianli, the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment, under the cover of night, quietly approached the valley.
Lei Gong took his artillery battalion and climbed to the top of a hill and set up all the rows of mortars.
Wu Qianli also came to the forward position, observed the situation, and found that the situation was similar to what Pinghe said.
After Wu Qianli finished observing, he approached Mei Sheng and said, "At this time, there are not many enemy routs withdrawing, so I will first take some of the top soldiers to disguise themselves as routs and approach their positions."
"Now it's dark, they may not be able to spot us, get as close as possible to them, and then launch a surprise attack."
Mei Sheng nodded and said, "Okay regiment commander, you must be careful, I will lead the main force to follow quickly, and Lei Gong's artillery will provide us with cover."
"Don't worry!"
Wu Qianli nodded, and then took Wu Wanli and the others to take the lead.
They descended the hill and followed the road in the valley and approached the enemy's position.
At this time, Wu Qianli and the others had already changed into the military uniform of the US army, and the light was black
If they are blind, the enemy army will not be able to see clearly at all, and they will not be able to distinguish between friend and foe.
At the same time, Mei Sheng and the remaining soldiers of the Seventh Regiment also quietly touched down, followed Wu Qianli and them, about a few dozen meters away, and touched towards the enemy position.
God help, the enemy position is very busy, and those enemy soldiers are busy building positions.
Wu Qianli and they approached the enemy's position about ten meters, only to find that the enemy troops stationed here were not American troops, but British troops.
But for Wu Qianli, whether it is the US army or the British army, they are all enemies, and it is right to beat him.
Wu Qianli and others were armed with submachine guns, all the bullets loaded, ready to attack at any time.
And Wu Wanli and the others, who were following behind, had already prepared grenades in their hands, ready to throw the grenades at the enemy position at any time.
At this time, the distance between the two sides was only less than ten meters, and Wu Qianli lowered their heads and continued to walk forward.
A British soldier on the opposite side shouted, "Who are you?"
Wu Qianli didn't look up, and shouted in very standard English, "We are from the 24th Division of the US Army."
As he spoke, he didn't stop and continued to walk.
The British soldier didn't doubt it, but just complained and scolded, "You cowards, you retreat so quickly, don't you want the glory of the soldiers?"
Soon, Wu Qianli walked up to the British army and raised his head suddenly.
The British soldier glanced at Wu Qianli and suddenly sensed that something was wrong.
At this time, Wu Qianli raised his gun and shouted loudly in Chinese, "Beat me hard!"
As he spoke, he pulled the trigger directly.
"Da Da Da~!"
A dense burst of gunfire rang out, and the red-hot bullets flew quickly towards the British army like raindrops.
The few British soldiers on the opposite side didn't react at all, and were instantly beaten into a sieve.
Wu Jin and the others also raised their submachine guns, aimed at the enemy and pulled the trigger.
For a while, there was a loud burst of gunfire, and dense bullets rained down on the enemy, and in an instant the enemy was swept down by more than 20 people.
And Wu Wanli also threw out all the grenades, and after throwing one out, they then took out the second one, and threw it towards the British position with all their strength.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
Violent explosions continued to sound, and the British troops were instantly blown up on their backs, killing and wounding.
At this moment, Lei Gong, who was in the distance, saw the sound of gunfire in the valley, and immediately shouted loudly: "Ten rapid fires, open the cannon~!"
With Lei Gong's order, rows of mortars opened fire with all their might, and one shell after another flew quickly towards the deep position of the British army with a piercing whistling sound.
"Boom~! Boom~!"
A violent explosion sounded, and patches of fire rose into the air.
The British troops on the battlefield did not understand what was going on, and they were blown up in a blur of flesh and blood, and mourning was everywhere.
Originally, these British troops were hurrying to build fortifications, and they didn't expect the volunteers to come over so quickly.
Under the surprise attack of the Seventh Regiment, there was a mess all of a sudden.
Wu Qianli did not stop, but rushed directly with the soldiers, raised the submachine gun in his hand, and swept it around, and the scene became even more chaotic.
At this moment, Mei Sheng and the main force were already less than fifty meters away from the enemy's position.
When Mei Sheng heard the gunshots, he immediately shouted loudly, "Trumpeter, blow the trumpet."
"Charge the whole company!"
"Tick tock, tick drip, tick tick~!"
The loud horn of the charge sounded immediately, and Yu Congrong took the soldiers of the firepower battalion as the vanguard, and let out a shocking shouting of killing.
One by one, like tigers descending from the mountains, they rushed towards the British position.
Hearing the sound of the charge horn and the shouting of the Seventh Regiment, the British army was even more panicked, thinking that the main force of the Volunteer Army had already attacked.
The enemy, who already had a psychological shadow, dared to resist one by one, and turned around and ran away one by one.
The British troops in the valley did not form effective resistance at all and were directly routed.
About a few hundred men of the 24th Division of the US Army, which had just been withdrawn, were resting in an open field 300 meters away.
Seeing this scene, one by one was also frightened, and the camp was bombed in an instant, and none of the hundreds of people even wanted to turn back to fight, and they fled south one by one.
Wu Qianli didn't expect that the battle would be so smooth, and he led the soldiers to rush and fight all the way.
Rampage through the British positions, chasing behind the butts of the British troops, constantly shooting.
Strings of bullets flew past, only to see the enemies fleeing in all directions, falling to the ground in pieces.
Wu Qianli led the soldiers to become more and more courageous, stepping on the corpses of the British army, and continued to pursue.
The news of the attack on Castle Peak soon reached the headquarters of the 29th Brigade of the British Army.
Brody shouted in panic, "How could the squadron get to the green mountains so quickly?"
"Didn't you say they were miles away?"
The British colonel hurriedly said, "General, we don't know why Chinese troops suddenly appeared here."
"But as far as we know, the Chinese are particularly good at detours, and it should be one of their troops, interspersed into the green mountains."
Major General Brody scolded, "Fake, damn enemies, they're too fast."
I thought that what the volunteers were best at was interspersing in a roundabout way, and with the current situation, once they were surrounded by the volunteers, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Major General Brody's face became even more ugly, and the old devil muttered in a low voice: "We didn't know our enemy before, and the reason why our troops suffered so heavy losses in the previous battles was because they were too light on the enemy, resulting in the troops being interspersed and surrounded, and we must not repeat the mistakes of the past."
The colonel hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, what should we do now?"
"What should I do?"
Major General Brody said, "Can we wait to be eliminated by them?"
"Immediately give the order to retreat, the troops retreat on all fronts, and it is important to retreat to a safe place as soon as possible."
「yessir!」
The colonel hurriedly answered, and then went to deliver the order.
On the orders of Brody, the 29th Brigade of the British Army began to retreat along the entire front.
In fact, at this time, the main force of the volunteer army has not yet caught up.
However, as soon as the British army withdrew, the enemy became even more chaotic and unable to stop the ferocious offensive of the Gang 7th Regiment.
The headquarters of the 27th Army of the Volunteer Army, through scouts, received news of the retreat of the enemy troops on all fronts.
The commander of the 27th Army immediately ordered all units to continue the pursuit with all their might, and be sure to destroy as many enemy troops as possible and expand the results of the battle.
As a result, the main force of the 27th Army, as well as some friendly troops, began to attack the south with all their might.
The enemy retreated and was routed, unable to form effective resistance at all.
The Gang 7th Regiment led by Wu Qianli successfully seized the position near Qingshanli.
After destroying the nearby enemy, the main forces also caught up with them, and they were not far away.
Yu Congrong ran to Wu Qianli and said excitedly: "Regiment Commander, this battle is really happy, the British have been defeated on all fronts."
"We killed at least 200 British soldiers and captured more than 300."
Wu Qianli said, "The enemy army has been routed on all fronts, and we should take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle."
Mei Sheng frowned and said, "But what if we have captured so many enemies, so many prisoners?"
Wu Qianli said, "Those captives have all been disarmed and gathered in the open space in the mountain col next to them, and it is expected that they will not dare to resist, and it is enough to leave a few people to guard these captives."
"For the rest of the troops, just keep pursuing."
Mei Sheng said with a frown
"Isn't it too risky to leave only a few people to guard more than 300 captives?"
Wu Qianli smiled confidently and assured, "I don't think there's a problem at all."
"A group of enemies who have lost their fighting spirit and have surrendered are no different than a flock of sheep."
Yu Congrong nodded again and again, and said loudly, "Political commissar. I think what the regiment commander said makes sense, anyway, the main force behind will arrive soon."
"Leave a few men to guard them, and I don't think they dare to move."
Pinghe also opened his mouth and said, "These American devils are very afraid of death, and they don't dare to act rashly."
Wu Qianli immediately decided: "It's so decided, the political commissar will take two squads to guard the prisoners."
"The rest, follow me on!"
