Chapter 237 VanVleet, a well-learned Van Vleet, bombardment in all directions!

Major General Biles pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's better this way." ”

Van Vliet said very firmly: "It is very necessary, only in this way can we better control this force and improve their combat effectiveness." ”

"Otherwise, they'll always be a mess."

Major General Biles frowned and said, "But in this case, will those Koreans agree?" ”

"Hmph~!"

Van Vliet snorted coldly and said, "It's up to them. ”

"I will report this matter to Commander Ridgway and implement this matter as soon as possible."

Major General Biles frowned and said, "Commander, isn't our task now to win this battle as soon as possible?" We ......"

Van Vliet said: "From the big picture, it is more important to reorganize these South Korean troops and restore them to combat effectiveness. ”

"That ......"

Van Vliet said: "Okay, you can hold the line on your side, and you can properly attack the enemy on the eastern front." ”

"According to my judgment, they should not have the strength to engage us in an all-out decisive battle right now."

"That's why they will find these Korean troops with low combat effectiveness, defeat them, and improve their morale."

"Hmph~! This kind of low-level tactic, if you want to deceive me, it is impossible. ”

Major General Biles pondered for a moment and said, "There is some truth in what you said. ”

Van Vliet continued: "And the Western Front is the main battlefield, and the eastern region is not so important. ”

"The enemy's move may also be a deliberate attempt to attract our attention, they will lure our attention to the Eastern Front, and then launch an offensive on the Western Front."

"Can this tactic fool us?"

Major General Biles said with a smile: "The commander has seen it thoroughly, in that case, then we only need to hold the position and the defensive line." ”

Van Vliet pointed to the sand table and said, "Didn't we also advance eastward from the southern region and take over some positions of the South Korean army?"

"I guess these volunteers don't dare to venture any further, and their attack stop line should be in this area."

"So you don't have to worry too much, you just need to stabilize the existing defense line and block their attack in this round, there is no problem at all."

"It's better to follow the original strategy, consume them first, wait for the opportunity to counterattack, so that you can win."

Biles nodded and said, "I see." ”

Van Vliet continued: "I will return to Seoul at once to meet Commander Ridgway. ”

"If there is any situation on your side, remember to report it in time."

β€œyes sir!”

Major General Biles hurriedly responded.

……

Wu Qianli didn't expect that the enemy would completely give up on Wumazhi.

The U.S. forces supporting the east also chose to take a detour from the south to rush to the eastern battlefield.

In this way, Wumazhi becomes less important.

Soon new instructions came from above.

The Seventh Regiment of Ganggang urgently assembled in the vicinity of Wumazhi.

The defense of Wumazhi was also handed over to other friendly forces.

After handing over the defense, Wu Qianli took the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment to the assembly site.

Wu Qianli settled the troops, and then found Mei Sheng.

"Lao Mei, what task are we going to carry out this time?"

Mei Sheng replied: "Our regiment also has to carry out roundabout tasks. ”

Yu Congrong on the side frowned slightly and asked, "Do you want to continue to go south?" ”

"Those sticks are faster than the rabbits, and this battle is really not going to be good."

Mei Sheng said: "Our enemies are not only those South Korean troops, but also the US military, and our opponent this time should be the 10th Army of the US Army." ”

"The superiors instructed us to advance in tandem with the attacking regiment, and quickly make a roundabout way to the southwest to seize the 674 heights!"

"According to preliminary intelligence, the enemy has deployed about a battalion of troops nearby, so it is very difficult to take this 674 height."

Wu Qianli clenched the handle of the gun and said: "No matter how difficult the task is, we must resolutely and thoroughly complete it." ”

"Tell the whole group, get ready, and leave in about half an hour."

"Yes!"

……………………

After the troops were assembled, the 7th Regiment and the 1st Regiment of the Fortified Regiment, under the cover of night, quickly interspersed behind the enemy's rear.

The scout had already reconnoitred the route in advance, and although the mountain road was rough and difficult, it was very smooth, except that the speed was a little slower.

When bypassing the 674 Heights, Wu Qianli hid in the distance and observed the situation on the 674 Heights.

The enemy has a garrison on the mountain, so there are some lights on the mountain, and with these lights, you can clearly see the situation above.

Wu Qianli observed carefully for a while, and couldn't help frowning, first of all, the 674 Heights are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Moreover, the enemy had placed a lot of troops on the hill, and it seemed that some forts had been built, which made it even more difficult to capture the hill.

Wu Qianli secretly said in his heart: This is inevitably another vicious battle.

However, the task of the Gang 7 Regiment is not easy, because once the battle starts, the nearby enemy will definitely support the 674 Heights, and Wu Qianli is ready to take the Gang 7 Regiment to cooperate with the attack of the 1st Regiment and try to block the enemy's reinforcements.

Thinking of this, Wu Qianli put away the binoculars and led the soldiers to continue to move forward.

Successfully bypassed the 674 Heights and came to the nameless canyon.

Wu Qianli first led a few warriors to climb the slopes on both sides of the valley and observed the surrounding terrain.

It was found that the terrain here was very suitable for blocking, and the enemy had only arranged a checkpoint here.

Once the battle begins, as long as you defeat this checkpoint, you can occupy the entire valley and build a defensive position.

Pinghe ran to Wu Qianli's side with a gun and said softly: "Observe it, there are about twenty enemies in the outpost, and there are four people on each side of the mountain. ”

Wu Qianli nodded slightly, and ordered: "Pinghe, Wu Jin, you each take a team of people, quietly touch the mountain, and wait for the battle." ”

"Wait until the battle starts, first take out the enemy on the mountains on both sides and seize the commanding heights."

"Yes!"

The two hurriedly replied.

"Yu Congrong!"

"Here!"

Yu Congrong hurriedly came over.

Wu Qianli ordered: "You take people to approach the enemy's outpost from the front, and wait for the order in concealment. ”

"As soon as the battle starts, attack immediately and take down the checkpoint for me."

"Pay attention to concealment for me, in addition to the enemies in the sweeping card, there are also patrolling enemies, hide it, and you must not expose it in advance."

"Yes!"

Yu Congrong and others hurriedly responded.

Then, according to Wu Qianli's order, the soldiers began to move separately.

After everything was ready, after waiting for about half an hour, gunshots and explosions were heard in the direction of the 674 heights.

Then four shiny flares burst into the air.

This is a pre-agreed offensive signal.

Pinghe and Wu Jin, each with a group of men, had already bypassed the cliff and approached the enemy's machine-gun position on the top of the mountain.

The enemy on the hill was also alarmed, and they all stood up and craned their necks, looking in the direction of Heights 674 to see what was going on.

Without saying a word, Pinghe raised his gun and aimed at an enemy and pulled the trigger.

"Bang~!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and the bullet instantly pierced the foreign devil's head.

"Enemy attack~!"

The other three enemies hid one after another.

At this moment, three grenades snorted black smoke and fell directly on their positions.

"Boom~! Rumble~! ”

A violent explosion sounded, and all three enemies were killed on the spot.

Pinghe rushed directly with a few fighters, successfully occupied the position on the commanding heights, set up a machine gun, and aimed it at the enemy outpost at the bottom of the mountain.

At this time, the enemy in the outpost had already been alarmed, and Pinghe didn't say a word, and directly pulled the trigger.

"Da Da Da Da~!"

A dense series of gunfire rang out, bullets flew like raindrops, and several enemies were caught off guard, and they were instantly beaten into a sieve and killed on the spot.

At the same time, Wu Jin also led another team of people to successfully kill the four American soldiers on the opposite hill and occupy the machine gun position.

The enemy's M2 heavy machine gun was set up and fired at the enemy position below the mountain.

Yu Congrong saw that all the positions on the mountains on both sides had been taken down, and shouted excitedly: "Comrades, rush up with me and kill them." ”

"Da Da Da Da~!"

Dense gunfire rang out, and bullets rained down on the enemy.

"Chirp~!"

With a piercing whistling, a rocket hit the enemy's position.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion sounded, and the enemy on the position was immediately blown away.

"Kill~!"

The brave warriors swarmed up and quickly wiped out all the remnants of the enemy, successfully occupying the outpost.

Wu Qianli had already made contact with the attacking group with a walkie-talkie, and Wu Qianli shouted into the microphone: "Old talk, we have captured the valley outpost, and the soldiers are currently building a blocking position. ”

"You can attack the high ground at ease, as long as we have the Seventh Regiment here, it is impossible for an enemy to pass through here."

On the other end, Tan Ziwei, who was promoted to the commander of the first regiment of the attack, clenched the microphone excitedly and said: "Okay, now the main force has begun to attack the 674 heights, the enemy is very stubborn, and it will take a little time to take the 674 heights, so please leave it to you." ”

After the explanation, the phone hung up.

Wu Qianli instructed Mei Sheng: "Lao Mei, let the soldiers build a position as soon as possible, especially the anti-artillery hole should be excavated as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!"

Mei Sheng hurriedly answered, turned around and left in a hurry.

Then Wu Qianli said to Lei Gong: "Lei Gong, you put up the cannon as soon as possible, just over there on the mountain, condescending, and hidden and safe." ”

Lei Gong grinned and said, "Commander, you are really good, you have a good eye, I also saw that place just now." ”

"Don't worry, I'll take someone over."

Wu Qianli took Wu Wanli to climb directly to the highest point of the valley and observed the surrounding terrain.

"Wanli, what do you think of here?"

Wu Wanli said with a smile: "It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it's suitable for us to block." ”

Wu Qianli turned his head and glanced at the direction of the 674 heights, only to see that there was a lot of artillery fire and gunfire, obviously the battle had entered the most intense time.

Wu Qianli said with a serious face: "Today is a fierce battle, everyone cheers up and strives to kill a few more American devils." ”

"Yes!"

……………………

A few hours later, inside the Nameless Canyon.

Wu Qianli and the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment were ready for battle.

It didn't take long for a convoy to arrive in the distance, which was an enemy reinforcement that had come to support Heights 674.

There were armored personnel carriers in the convoy, as well as tanks.

Wu Qianli observed the situation for a moment, and then made a gesture to get the soldiers ready for battle.

"Don't waste shells, put the enemy closer before fighting."

"Yes!"

In the battle just now, the enemy in the distance also heard the movement, and they also knew that this place had been occupied by the volunteers.

So under the cover of the tanks, the infantry also got out of the car, formed a battle formation, and began to attack the valley.

Wu Qianli looked at the heavy tank in front of him and frowned slightly.

These guys have rough skin and thick meat, and it is difficult to destroy them, and it is still difficult to deal with them.

However, Wu Qianli had already taken precautions, and had planted anti-tank mines on the road below the mountain before.

In order to increase the power, Wu Qianli also made some modifications to the mines.

Very simple modification, two anti-tank mines and two anti-tank grenades were tied together and one piece was buried.

In this way, when the anti-tank mine exploded, it was detonated along with these two anti-tank grenades.

Wu Qianli guessed that an ordinary anti-tank mine could not completely blow up such a heavy tank, and with these two anti-tank grenades, it should be about the same.

Even if it can't be completely blown up, it can be blown up and paralyzed.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion sounded, and the tank really pressed the mine, and with a violent explosion, the fire instantly engulfed the tank.

When the smoke cleared, only the wreckage of a tank that had been blown up beyond recognition and ignited a fire was left at the scene.

Wu Qianli immediately shouted loudly: "Give me concentrated firepower and hit hard!" ”

"Da Da Da Da~!"

"Chirp~!"

For a while, guns and cannons rang out, and bullets and mortar shells rained down on the enemy's ranks.

"Boom~! Rumble~! ”

A violent explosion sounded, and the enemy was immediately blown up on his back, and an enemy officer shouted: "Organize fire immediately and suppress their fire." ”

"Tanks go up and go on the offensive!"

With the order of the enemy officer, several tanks behind immediately rumbled up.

The blown up tanks were also pushed aside by the tanks behind, and under the cover of the tanks, the enemy continued to attack and advance.

However, not far away, suddenly another violent explosion sounded, and the second tank was also blown up.

Wu Qianli and the soldiers aimed at the enemy soldiers behind them, and kept shooting.

Rows of mortars from the artillery battalion also bombarded the enemy ranks.

However, the enemy's artillery could not blow up Lei Gong's mortars, so now their situation is very passive.

After a fierce battle, the enemy suffered heavy losses and immediately withdrew from the valley.

Looking at the retreating enemy troops, Wu Qianli did not dare to relax in the slightest, and hurriedly ordered the troops to continue to strengthen the defensive positions on the spot to prevent the enemy from attacking again.

Because these enemies are only temporarily repulsed, and a larger attack may be launched at any time.

And even if the 674 heights are taken, the enemy will definitely mobilize forces to launch a counteroffensive.

Because they can't give up 674 Heights so easily, especially as time passes by minute by minute.

After dawn, their situation is even more precarious.

So they must now build a tunnel in a safe place to withstand the enemy's indiscriminate bombardment.

At this moment, under the command of Tan Ziwei, the main force of the attacking regiment has successfully annihilated the remnants of the enemy on the 674 heights and completely occupied the 674 heights.

Tan Ziwei called a liaison officer and asked, "How is the situation on the Seventh Regiment side of Ganggang?" ”

The liaison officer said: "They have repelled the first round of the US attack, but the preliminary judgment is that the US military is also sending more and more reinforcements." ”

Tan Ziwei nodded slightly and said, "We have now occupied the 674 heights, but the battle is not over yet. ”

"Our mission is not yet complete, we need to build a defensive line in the vicinity to prevent the enemy from launching a counteroffensive."

"The Seventh Regiment is also very important, if there is any situation, you must notify me in time."

"Yes!"

The liaison officer hurriedly answered, then raised his hand and gave a military salute and turned to leave.

Tan Ziwei held a telescope and observed the surrounding situation.

Then Tan Ziwei instructed: "Inform the troops directly under the regiment, and let them quickly occupy all the nearby areas and mountains." ”

"Put more false flags on the hills and get me some straw men or something to confuse the enemy."

"Yes!"

……………………

Inside the command of Major General Biles

An American major said: "Report to the commander, I just received a report that the 674 heights have been lost. ”

"What?"

Major General Biles immediately rushed to the front of the sand table, stared at the sand table and asked, "Heights 674 is lost?" ”

"Yes sir!"

Major General Biles scolded: "Damn, how could they suddenly appear on the 674 heights? ”

An officer next to him pointed to the sand table and said: "It is estimated that they came from here in a roundabout way, and these volunteers are the best at such tactics." ”

Biles frowned and said, "This is not the key, the key is their purpose in hitting the 674 Heights?" ”

The U.S. officer asked, "You mean, have they changed their tactical focus?" ”

Major General Biles pointed to the sand table and said: "If they don't attack us, do they have to hit the 674 heights?" ”

"Now that they have captured the 674 heights, they must have a purpose, don't you understand such a simple truth?"

β€œyes sir!”

Major General Biles pointed to the sand table and said: "Combined with the information from other sources in the recent period, we can basically conclude that they want to attack our 10th Army. ”

"This is completely different from what we expected, I thought they should not have the guts and the strength to attack us."

"Now it seems that we are underestimating them."

"Immediately send an order down and order all troops to temporarily stop attacking to the east."

"The troops that have already reached the east must also immediately withdraw to their own defense areas."

β€œyes sir!”

"In addition, immediately organize troops to launch a counterattack against the enemy forces that have entered our army's defense area, and we must destroy all these enemies, especially at such an important location as the 674 Heights, and we must concentrate our superior forces to take them back, and there must be no mistakes."

β€œyes sir!”

……

"Your Excellency, General, you are so wise, your judgment is incomparably correct, as you said, now these enemies are indeed attacking our defense zone."

Major General Biles stared at the sand table in front of him and said: "These hateful fellows always use this unexpected way, they think that they can defeat us in this way, but they don't know that this is just their own most ridiculous idea. ”

"With our strength, as long as we take this war seriously, they will not be able to defeat us."

"Now that it's dawn, I'd like to see how capable they are."

"This time, we still have to completely defeat these hateful guys as before, and leave no one behind."

"Order all units to attack the enemy in front of them with all their might, and make sure to completely defeat them."

"In addition, immediately notify the air force and let them send planes to help in the war and launch an all-round bombing of the Chinese army, so that these ignorant guys can see what a real modern war is."

β€œyes sir!”

"Jingle bell~!"

At this time, the phone rang, and the staff officer next to him picked up the phone.

"Your Excellency, General, it's the phone number of Your Excellency the Commander."

Major General Biles quickly took the phone and said, "Hello, I'm Biles." ”

"Biles! I heard that the volunteers had turned their guns and started attacking us. ”

"Yes, Commander! At present, most of our defense line has been attacked by them, and the enemy, who is directly north of our defense line, is also ready to move, and seems to have the intention of attacking us. ”

"Although our defensive line in the north is very strong, but the previous strategic adjustment, we have transferred some troops, resulting in our current forces are relatively scattered, and we cannot guarantee absolute security now."

Van Vliet, who was on the other side, said with a serious face: "Byers, listen, no matter what, you must block this round of offensive of the Chinese army, and you must not allow any mistakes, do you understand?" ”

β€œyes sir!” (End of chapter)
