Wu Jin frowned and said, "It seems that the amount of work is not small!" ”

Wu Qianli said helplessly: "Now that the American devils have an absolute advantage in firepower, if we want to ensure safety, we can only dig more tunnels and fortifications." ”

"Fortunately, I have observed that the fortifications of this mountain should not be too difficult to dig."

"Hurry up and dig more fortifications, this is the biggest guarantee for our survival."

I have to say that Wu Qianli's luck is still quite good.

After the U.S. patrol convoy passed, no one passed by on the road for a long time.

This highway is a supply road for the South Korean army, and many vehicles pass by on the road during the day, and in the first half of the night, there are often convoys passing by.

But in the second half of the night, there were basically no vehicles passing by, only patrols of the US military patrolling nearby.

And the enemy patrol that Wu Qianli encountered just now was the last patrol of the night.

Therefore, after Wu Qianli and they occupied Wumazhi, they immediately began to build fortifications, and everything went very smoothly.

In the early hours of the same night, the Volunteer Army launched a full-scale attack on the Korean Seventh Division.

"Knock knock~!"

The rumbling of artillery continued to sound, and shells flew one after another towards the enemy positions on the south bank.

Violent explosions were heard, and the forward positions of the South Korean army were successively enveloped by artillery fire.

The Volunteer Army launched an attack from the front in advance, also in order to further attract the enemy's attention.

At this time, the troops responsible for interspersing continued to quickly weave around the enemy's rear and the enemy's flank.

In order to be able to quickly clear the obstacles, this time the volunteer artillery was also rare without saving shells.

The artillery groups opened fire with all their might, and shells rained down on the enemy's positions.

The overarching shelling gradually extended to the south.

The enemy's fortifications were destroyed by artillery fire, the barbed wire was blown into the sky, and the mines were almost all detonated.

Through such a fierce shelling, the volunteers gradually cleared the obstacles to the offensive.

Then the volunteers attacked, and the infantry, having received the order, immediately rushed out.

This section of the river is more than 100 meters wide and only about 1 meter deep, so the soldiers can completely wade in vain.

In this season, the river is still a little cold, but it can't stop the footsteps of the volunteer soldiers.

Not to mention that it's already May, it's almost summer.

Even last winter, when the volunteers attacked, they used to wade through rivers in vain.

It's hard for you to imagine that on the icy and snowy battlefield, our heroic volunteer soldiers, undressed and naked, broke through the enemy's fire blockade and crossed the river on foot.

So cold? Why take off your clothes.

Because they are wearing cotton clothes, if they cross the river with clothes, it will be inconvenient, and the cotton clothes will be full of moisture, which will seriously affect the movement.

Second, in such a cold weather, if the cotton clothes are soaked, it will be difficult to dry, and it will easily freeze into ice, and the soldiers will also be frozen to death at that time.

So it's safest to rush across the river naked, and then put on your clothes.

And now that it's May, the weather is not so cold, and the soldiers are wearing single clothes, so there is no need to take off their clothes.

Under the cover of powerful artillery fire, the brave soldiers quickly rushed across the Zhaoyang River and continued to kill south.

The South Korean army, which was blocking on the south bank, was defeated and retreated after just one contact, and could only watch the volunteer soldiers rush across the Zhaoyang River like waves.

The news reached the headquarters of the Seventh Division of Han, and Jin Zhen was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, constantly walking back and forth in the headquarters.

A staff officer reported: "The enemy's fire is too heavy, our troops have suffered heavy casualties, and the communication of some units has been blown up. ”

"In short, the current situation is very bad, and the main force of the Volunteer Army is about to attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, another staff officer ran over quickly.

"Division commander, something is wrong, the enemy has launched a crossing of the river, they have already crossed the Zhaoyang River, and our troops will not be able to resist their attack at all."

"What?"

Jin Zhen's eyes were about to pop out, and he roared angrily: "A bunch of waste, what are they doing to eat?" Why not block the enemy's attack? ”

The staff officer hurriedly replied: "Division commander, the offensive of the Volunteer Army is too fierce, and we really can't resist it. ”

"Now that they have crossed the Zhaoyang River, and more and more enemy troops are crossing the river, what should we do now?"

Jin Zhenyi also panicked, but things are already like this, what can he do?

Sedation! Be sure to be calm!

This guy also understands that the more this time, the more he needs to be calm.

"Immediately send an order to all the troops on the front line, be sure to give me all my strength to hold the position and block the enemy's attack."

"In addition, report this situation immediately and truthfully, we need support, the enemy is attacking us with all its might, we need all kinds of support."

"Yes!"

A South Korean officer next to him hurriedly answered, turned around and went to convey the order.

Jin Zhenyi hurriedly ordered all the troops to go to the front line and hold on with all their might.

But in the face of a powerful offensive of the volunteers, the enemy was quickly routed.

As a result of the shelling of the volunteers, the communications of some units were completely cut off.

Those regiment commanders on the front line were simply unable to effectively direct the troops to resist.

And those troops who lost contact with their superiors, seeing that the volunteers were attacking so fiercely, began to retreat one by one.

This led to the collapse of the two main regiments of the 7th Division of the ROK Army on the front line.

The two main regiments behind wanted to rush to support, but they encountered a rout on the way.

As a result, these reinforcements not only failed to stop the defeated troops, but they were also carried all the way south and fled quickly.

The entire 7th Division began to rout on all fronts, and after the attacking volunteers discovered this situation, the front command immediately ordered all units to pursue with all their strength and strive to annihilate the enemy to the greatest extent.

Knowing that his troops were out of control and all of them had begun to retreat, Jin Yiyi asked the headquarters of the Third Army for help again, and then joined the fleeing queue with his own division headquarters.

The heroic volunteer soldiers easily broke through the defense line of the Zhaoyang River and advanced quickly all the way to the south.

The enemy army was completely routed and fled all the way, and the heroic volunteer soldiers stepped on the corpses of the Korean army and continued to advance.

Besides, Liu Zaixing, the commander of the Third Army, was also a little confused after learning the news from the front.

After discussion, in order to save the situation, Liu Zaixing ordered the 3rd Division and the 9th Division to rescue the 7th Division of the ROK Army with all their might, in an attempt to save the rout and stabilize the front.

Wu Qianli and his soldiers are building fortifications in Wumazhi.

At this time, Pinghe ran over quickly and said to Wu Qianli: "Regiment commander, there is an enemy!" It's coming soon. ”

Wu Qianli asked, "How many people?" What troops? ”

Pinghe shook his head and said, "It's a convoy, and the specific strength is unknown." ”

"But there are more than a dozen vehicles, and I don't know which unit it belongs to."

"Prepare for battle!"

Wu Qianli said with a serious face: "Inform everyone, no matter who it is, you must not let them pass, stop them for me and kill them." ”

"Yes!"

The fighters immediately went into combat positions and were ready for battle.

After a while, a convoy of jeeps and trucks gradually drove over.

Seeing that the enemy had already entered the ambush range, Wu Qianli ordered loudly: "Brothers, concentrate your fire on me and hit me hard." ”

With Wu Qianli's order, Wu Wanli and the bomb throwing team immediately threw the grenade at the car on the road.

Grenades snorted and smoked, spun and flew towards the enemy's car.

At the same time, Lei Gong's artillery battalion also aimed at the enemy and began to open fire.

"Boom~! Rumble~! ”

For a while, violent explosions rang out one after another, and pieces of fire rose up, and the enemy's cars were blown into burning scrap metal one after another.

The enemies in the car behind jumped out of the car one after another, ready to counterattack.

As a result, tongues of blazing fire erupted from the mountain, and dense bullets swept by, and the enemy fell to the ground one after another.

After a fierce battle, the enemy was quickly wiped out.

Wu Qianli looked at the battlefield below and ordered: "Yu Congrong, take someone down to check it, and bring all the weapons and ammunition up." ”

"Yes!"

Then Yu Congrong rushed onto the road with two platoons of soldiers and began to clean up the battlefield.

There were several trucks that were not destroyed, and Yu Congrong led people to check the trucks that were not blown up first.

Finding that it was loaded with weapons and ammunition, Yu Congrong was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Haha~!" Now we're getting rich. ”

"Hurry up, don't giggle, carry all these weapons and ammunition to the position."

"Hurry up!"

"Yes!"

Under the command of Yu Congrong, the soldiers happily began to carry ammunition and materials.

Yu Congrong carried a box of ammunition, ran to the position in a hurry, threw it in front of Wu Qianli, and said with a smile: "Now we are rich." ”

"This convoy is a transport convoy of the South Korean army, and the trucks are full of ammunition and materials."

"There are a few cars that haven't been destroyed, and there are a lot of good things, and ammunition is the majority."

"Bullets, grenades and mortar shells, rockets, and recoilless shells."

Wu Qianli nodded with satisfaction and said, "In this way, this should just be the baggage convoy of an infantry battalion." ”

"The battle on the front line began, and they rushed to deliver ammunition, and it happened to run into us."

"Hmph~! This is cheaper for us, and with these ammunition and supplies, it will be easier for us to hold the Wuma Ridge. ”

Yu Congrong said with a smile: "It's not, these ammunition materials are enough to hold on to the five horses, now we can let go of our hands and feet, and have a good fight with these dogs." ”

Wu Qianli smiled slightly, but he was a little curious in his heart, why this convoy rushed to the front line overnight.

However, the most important thing now is to strengthen the fortifications, especially the tunnels, which must be built strong and safe, to prevent the enemy from indiscriminate bombardment.

The battle started here, and it also alarmed the nearby enemy forces.

The news was reported layer by layer, and after receiving the news, Choi Seok, the commander of the 9th Division of the South Korean Army, immediately hurried to the corps headquarters.

At this moment, the entire corps headquarters was also in chaos.

Liu Zaixing didn't know what to do for a while, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Cui Xi hurriedly reported to him: "Commander, now that the Seventh Division has been completely defeated, we will go to reinforcements according to the order, but we can't stop their rout at all. ”

"And the rout of the Seventh Division led to the flank of our army being completely exposed, so that once the Chinese army launched an attack, we would be easily defeated by the Chinese army if we were attacked on our backs."

"And you must already know that Wumazhi has also been lost, which means that the Chinese army has penetrated deep into the rear of our army, so if the enemy continues to attack, our army will not be spared."

Liu Zaixing also panicked and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Cui Xi sighed and said in a low voice, "You have to make a decision early." ”

A trace of panic flashed in Liu Zaixing's eyes, and he said, "This ...... So what do you say to do? ”

Cui Xi said with a serious face: "The Chinese army is huge, we can't be their opponents at all, instead of waiting to be defeated by them, or even annihilated by them, it is better to retreat the whole army and preserve our strength in order to fight again." ”

Liu Zaixing frowned and said, "Is there no other way?" ”

"After all, once our army retreats, there will be loopholes in the entire defense line, and the US military will blame it, how can we explain it?"

Choi Seok said: "Once our troops are completely annihilated, can we count on those American troops to save us?" ”

Cui Xi's words are already very clear, that is, it is important to save life now, where to take care of the rest.

Liu Zaixing nodded and said, "It makes sense, then retreat." ”

"But we have to ask the U.S. military, and after getting authorization, it's not too late to retreat, so that we don't have responsibility."

Cui Xi hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll go back and prepare, I'll wait for your message." ”

With that, Cui Xi left in a hurry.

Liu Zaixing looked at Cui Xi's back and couldn't help but scold: "This dog-day brute is simply a waste, it can't fight, but it's more active than anyone else to run away." ”

Having said that, Liu Zaixing also understands that their situation is indeed very dangerous now.

So Liu Zaixing immediately sent a telegram to the US military, truthfully reporting the current situation and asking for permission to retreat.

This order soon reached Van Vliet's headquarters.

Van Vliet was also in a daze, was suddenly woken up, and ran to the headquarters to work overtime.

At this time, Van Vliet realized that the main force of the Volunteer Army had secretly rushed to the Eastern Front and suddenly launched an attack from the Eastern Front. (End of chapter)
