Chapter 229 The U.S. military is interspersed with encirclement, and Wu Qianli will plan it!
Brigadier General Myron's command
A lieutenant colonel of the U.S. Army said: "Your Excellency, I have just received information that Lieutenant Colonel Bolton's troops are progressing smoothly, have bypassed the Chinese defense zone, and are making a detour to their rear with all their might. β
Brigadier General Myron walked to the front of the sand table, where the lieutenant colonel immediately pointed out the location of Task Force Bolton.
Brigadier General Myron nodded with satisfaction and said, "As long as they can successfully detour back to the flank and rear of the Chinese army, and then launch a sudden attack, and then our main forces attack at the same time on the front, then the defense line of the Chinese army will definitely be completely crushed." β
"This is a rare opportunity for us, and we must seize this opportunity to try to break the defense line of the Chinese army as soon as possible."
βyes sir!β
The American lieutenant colonel hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, don't worry, Task Force Bolton will definitely be able to successfully detour past, we have already reconnoitred before, and there are no Chinese troops stationed in this area at all." β
"And they never dreamed that we would suddenly go out at night and make a massive detour to their flanks and rear."
Brigadier General Myron smiled and said: "Although this tactic is a bit risky, there is no doubt that it is still very useful, and it can completely defeat the Chinese army by surprise." β
While he was talking, an American officer came over and said respectfully, "General, His Excellency General Van Vliet has sent a telegram asking about our progress. β
Brigadier General Myron stretched out his hand to take the telegram, read it carefully, and then said: "Call General Van Vliet back immediately, and say that we have sent a task force to weave around enemy lines in accordance with the order." β
"If everything is normal, we will launch an offensive early tomorrow morning to attack the Chinese army's defense line on both sides, and strive to completely defeat the Chinese army's defense line."
"At present, everything is going well in all the troops, please wait for good news."
βyes sir!β
The U.S. officer hurriedly answered, turned around and went to send a telegram.
It turned out that they had also received orders from Van Vliet when they acted like this.
Brigadier General Myron stared at the sand table for a while, and said, "Send a telegram to Lieutenant Colonel Bolton, asking them to speed up and be sure to get to the designated place as soon as possible." β
βyes sir!β
Brigadier General Myron said to himself: "These hateful Chinese troops are too cunning, and they must not be allowed to run away again this time." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After Wu Qianli truthfully reported the situation, the news quickly reached Zhisi.
After discussing with the staff officers under him, the chief of staff immediately formulated the corresponding strategy and tactics, and after obtaining the permission of the boss, he immediately distributed them to the combat units below.
Wu Qianli and the others also quickly received a combat order from their superiors.
Wu Qianli took the telegram and read it carefully.
Mei Sheng hurriedly asked, "What instructions does Shiji have?" β
Yu Congrong also came over and looked at Wu Qianli with a curious expression.
Wu Qianli said with a smile: "Zhiji's instructions are the same as my plan, let's let the American troops go over, and then block their back road." β
"The commander of the friendly army has mobilized two regiments in the vicinity and urgently went to the small river ditch in front to ambush and block this force of American troops."
"After the battle starts, we will take the opportunity to cut off their retreat, assist the friendly forces, and annihilate all this American army."
Yu Congrong said with a smile: "Grandma's, this task is too easy. β
Wu Qianli said: "Of course it's easy, to deal with this US army, with the assistance of so many friendly forces, we have no intention of calculating it, and we will definitely be able to annihilate them all." β
"Although these guys don't carry heavy equipment, the weapons and equipment they carry are not bad, and they must also carry a lot of baggage materials, and they can make a small profit by killing them."
Mei Sheng said: "Since the superior instructed that this force of American troops should be completely annihilated, then we will carry out the order." β
Wu Qianliwai nodded slightly, then picked up a stone and drew a simple drawing on the ground.
"This is Xiaohegou, where the main forces will be ambushed."
"We're here now, we can take cover for the time being, and let this enemy pass."
"When they approach the ditch, we make a detour from here to cut off their retreat."
"After the U.S. troops are ambushed in Xiaohegou, they will definitely retreat with all their might, and when the time comes, they will just bump into our arms, and we can take this opportunity to beat these American devils and take the opportunity to annihilate them all."
Mei Sheng nodded and said, "I think it's feasible, so let's do it." β
Wu Qianli nodded slightly, and said, "Pass the order, all the people in the regiment will be hidden on the spot, and no one is allowed to act without authorization." β
"If anyone is exposed, I will not spare him."
"Yes!"
Wu Wanli hurriedly answered, turned around and ran to convey the order.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
After the order was given, the Gang 7th Regiment quickly arrived at the predetermined position.
At this time, the American troops advanced along the path, passing only about a mile away.
However, fortunately, the U.S. military did not reconnoiter carefully, so they did not find the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment.
In this way, Wu Qianli and others successfully reached the rear of the US army.
And this force of American troops, under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel Burton, continued to advance.
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton stumbled under his feet, almost fell to the ground, and couldn't help but scold: "Fake, this damn place, the road is too difficult to walk." β
An American officer next to him hurriedly said, "Sir, if you hold on a little longer, we will soon arrive at our destination." β
Hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Bolton finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's almost there, I've walked enough of this damn road." β
"After suffering so much, if we can't win again, it will be a great loss."
These American devils are also pampered in ordinary times, and they go out by car, and rarely march on foot like this.
This time it was really hard for them, and these American soldiers were complaining one by one, mainly because this road was really not easy to walk.
The U.S. officer hurriedly said: "Sir, rest assured, everything is normal at present, and we have already reconnoitred, and there is no trace of the Chinese army stationed on this road." β
"So we can definitely reach our destination successfully, and after dawn, launch a sneak attack on the Chinese army from the flank and rear."
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, if we can successfully break through the defense line of the Chinese army this time, then we will have made a great achievement." β
"We're just waiting for the meritorious service to be awarded."
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton said and raised his wrist to look at his watch, and said, "Pass the order, speed up, we can't delay any longer, we must rush to the designated place as soon as possible." β
βyes sir!β
Soon the Bolton contingent came to the vicinity of the creek ditch.
An American officer pointed to the front and said, "Sir, the place ahead is called Xiaohegou." β
"Once we've passed through this place, we'll be able to go around the enemy's flank and rear, which is where we're going this time."
"Good!"
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton nodded slightly and asked, "How long will it take to get through these?" β
The American officer replied, "If nothing else, we can pass through here in half an hour." β
"Half an hour?"
βyes sir!β
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton then asked, "Is this valley easy to walk?" β
"It's not too difficult to walk."
"Good!"
"Order the troops to pass through this place as soon as possible, it's about to dawn, we have to hurry."
βyes sir!β
"Also, immediately send a telegram to the headquarters saying that we have arrived near the small river ditch and are preparing to cross this place."
"It is expected that we will be able to arrive at the designated place in half an hour, and we will launch an attack at dawn according to the original plan, hoping to get support from the headquarters."
βyes sir!β
Under the orders of Lieutenant Colonel Burton, more than 1,000 American troops marched into the small river ditch.
At the same time, Wu Qianli and the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment had quietly followed the rear of the US army.
Wu Qianli lay on the top of a hill, observed the surrounding situation, and then ordered: "Send the order, all troops immediately seize the nearby favorable terrain, block all roads, and prepare for battle." β
"Yes!"
A soldier next to him hurriedly answered, turned around and went to deliver the order.
Mei Sheng continued: "The U.S. troops have already entered Xiaohegou, and they should be ready over there." β
Wu Qianli held the binoculars and observed, and said, "Even if you are ready, this force of American troops will never want to leave here." β
"Hmph~! I really don't know whether to live or die, and a group of light infantry dares to run here to spread wilderness, isn't this looking for death? β
Mei Sheng frowned and said, "But I'm still a little worried. β
Wu Qianli asked puzzledly, "What do you have to worry about?" β
Mei Sheng said: "I'm worried that if they enter the small river ditch and are all killed by friendly forces, then won't we work in vain?" β
Wu Qianli frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "It shouldn't be, their line is so long, so many people, they shouldn't have completely entered the small river ditch." β
"As long as some of them can break out, your Heping River Belt Reconnaissance Battalion is waiting for them here, and you can take the opportunity to harvest their heads."
"If you hold this place, none of these American devils will be able to escape."
After giving the instructions, Wu Qianli took the remaining soldiers and climbed to the top of a mountain next to him.
After arriving at the position, Wu Qianli ordered: "Hurry up and build a position and prepare for battle." β
"When the battle starts later, the American devils will definitely flee to this side, and our task is to block them and eliminate them as soon as possible."
"When the time comes, we must get into a scuffle with the American devils as much as possible."
Wu Wanli asked puzzledly, "Why is this?" β
Wu Qianli explained impatiently: "Why are you so stupid, seeing that the sky is about to dawn." β
"The planes of the American devils will definitely come to support, and when the time comes, we will be caught in a melee, and we will not be able to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the US planes will naturally not be able to bomb them."
Wu Wanli reacted at this time, nodded and said, "I understand, my brother is still thoughtful, hehe." β
"Nonsense."
Wu Qianli said with a smile: "You just study hard, this knowledge of war is deep, you can't learn it in your life." β
Lei Gong couldn't help but say, "Hahaha...... Our head of the regiment is getting more and more nervous. β
β¦β¦β¦
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton followed the group, and as he entered the valley, Lieutenant Colonel Bolton seemed to have a vague sense that something was wrong.
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton observed his surroundings and said thoughtfully, "Old man, do you feel that something is wrong?" β
The adjutant next to him shook his head blankly and said, "I'm sorry sir, I really didn't find anything wrong?" β
"After passing through this valley, we are about to arrive at the designated place, are you a little too nervous?"
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton nodded noncommittally and said, "Maybe I'm a little nervous!" Hopefully I'm a little nervous. β
"It always feels like something is wrong."
The enemy adjutant smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry, we have all reconnoitred and everything is normal." β
"And as you can see, our vanguard has been in for so long, there must be no problem."
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton smiled and said, "You're right, maybe it's just the nervousness before the success." β
"Passing through here, it is success, and I seem to have seen the military merit medal beckoning to us."
"Inform the troops, move on."
βyes sir!β
At this moment, a violent explosion suddenly came from the front.
"Boom~! Rumble~! β
A violent explosion sounded, and I saw that the vanguard of the US army suddenly burst into flames.
Those US soldiers who were walking in the front were suddenly blown up on their backs, and they were killed and wounded.
"Da Da Da Da~!"
Then a dense burst of gunfire rang out, and bullets rained down the hillsides on either side and fell into the ranks of the enemy troops.
At the same time, grenades, snorting black smoke, flew down the slopes on both sides and landed in the ranks of the American troops.
"Boom~! Rumble~! β
As a violent explosion sounded, the enemy was suddenly overturned on his back by the bombers, killing and wounding one after another.
The scope of the battle became larger and larger, and the volunteer soldiers who were ambushed in the shadows launched an attack on the American army one after another.
The U.S. troops were taken by surprise and instantly thrown into disarray, suffering heavy casualties.
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton was already stunned at this moment, and when he saw the pieces of artillery fire rising in front of him and the continuous gunfire, Lieutenant Colonel Bolton was completely panicked.
"Fake, where did these hateful Chinese troops come from?"
The adjutant's eyes widened in surprise at this moment, and he said, "Sir, there is really an ambush." β
Lieutenant Colonel Bolton reacted at this time, and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat, retreat~!" β
"Get out of the valley and get out of the valley."
βyes sir!β
In fact, there is no need for Bolton to give an order at this moment, the US military team has been completely chaotic, and one by one they began to retreat back in a panic, just wanting to escape from this ghost place as soon as possible.
At this time, the firepower of the besieging volunteers became more and more fierce, and the rain of bullets swept from both sides continued to reap the lives of the American troops.
At the same time, there were shells one after another, which fell one after another into the chaotic crowd of enemy troops.
The American troops, who had suffered heavy casualties, began to retreat in disarray.
For the US military, the only luck is that the way out is not completely blocked, at least they can still withdraw.
Lieutenant Colonel Burton, protected by a group of men, hurriedly began to retreat.
At this moment, Lieutenant Colonel Bolton no longer cares about his medal, he just wants to leave this ghost place as soon as possible, keep as many troops as possible, and reduce some casualties.
"Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick~!"
At this moment, the loud trumpet of the charge sounded, and the heroic volunteer soldiers rushed down the hillside and pounced on the enemy troops in the valley.
When they heard the trumpet of the charge in the distance, the enemy was even more frightened.
Burton was also frightened, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly retreat, quickly leave this ghost place." β
At this moment, the U.S. military no longer had the courage to resist, and they began to flee for their lives one by one.
On the slopes on both sides of Xiaohegou, groups of volunteer soldiers rushed down like a group of tigers descending the mountain and swept towards the ranks of the American army.
In the distance, on the position where Wu Qianli was.
He held the binoculars, observed the situation in the distance, and said with a smile: "It seems that our friendly forces are fighting very well, and these American devils have been defeated." β
Yu Congrong sneered and said: "A group of light infantry also dares to run to the rear of our flank to sneak attack, this is looking for death, and it is too easy to deal with them." β
"I'm not saying that don't look at these American devils who are tall and big, they just rely on good weapons and equipment, and their real combat effectiveness is not good at all."
"Their light infantry combat effectiveness is not as good as the trump card of the national army! I remember that when I was in Menglianggu, the 74th Army was very good at fighting them. β
Wu Wanli on the side asked curiously: "Brother Yu, you also participated in the Battle of Menglianggu!" β
"That's it!"
Yu Congrong said proudly: "You don't know, that battle was really cool, but I was just a recruit at the time." β
Wu Wanli asked with a smile: "I was scared to pee my pants, wouldn't it be in Meng Lianggu?" β
"Huh?"
Yu Congrong's old face turned red, and he hurriedly defended: "Don't listen to Lei Gong's nonsense, who peed his pants." β
Lei Gong said with a smile: "Wan Li, this is your fault, how can you expose it in public, which makes our battalion commander Yu how to lead the team in the future." β
Yu Congrong said angrily: "Go and go, you are not much better than Lao Tzu when you are a fucking recruit, are you embarrassed to laugh at Lao Tzu?" β
Wu Qianli smiled slightly, held a telescope to observe, and said, "The American devils have been completely defeated. β
"Lao Yu is right, with the same equipment, the combat effectiveness of these American devils is not as good as the trump card of the national army!"
"They've taken up all the equipment, and if we had been equipped, we'd have driven them out into the sea to feed the fish by now."
"These American devils blocked our counterattack, so they didn't know that the sky was high, and they dared to send infantry to make a roundabout sneak attack."
"This time, we must teach these dogs a good lesson, so that they can see how good we are."
"Give the order to go down, prepare to fight, and give me a hard fight later, not a single American devil can let go."
"Yes!"
The warriors replied with a bang.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The volunteer troops followed behind, and the corpses of the American soldiers who were killed directly were all over the field, and rivers of blood flowed all over the field.
Some of the enemies who couldn't run away also obediently took the initiative to surrender to the volunteers.
Wu Qianli held the binoculars, observed the situation in the distance, and said with a smile: "These American devils are running quite fast, much faster than when they passed." β
"Haha~!"
Yu Congrong laughed and said: "Escaping for your life must have used the strength to eat." β
"It's good to run fast!"
"If you run slowly, and you are chased and eliminated by the friendly forces behind, then there will be nothing to do with us."
At this time, Wu Wanli shouted: "Brother, they are here." β
"I'm watching!"
Wu Qianli smiled and said, "Stay closer and then fight, after all, our bullets are not blown by the wind." β
Soon, these fleeing American troops had entered the best range.
Wu Qianli raised his gun, aimed at an American soldier, and shouted, "Give me concentrated firepower and hit hard." β
He shouted as he pulled the trigger.
With a crisp gunshot, the bullet instantly pierced the head of the American soldier, and a ball of blood bloomed. (End of chapter)
