Inside the command of the U.S. military

Van Vliet frowned and looked at the sand table in front of him, and said worriedly: "What are these Chinese troops made of, it is unbelievable that they still have such powerful combat effectiveness under such inferior equipment." ”

At this moment, the emergency situation on the front line made him anxious and worried.

At this moment, an American officer walked over quickly and said in a panic: "General, I just got a report from the front that a reinforced regiment led by Lawrence was devastated by the Chinese army, and almost all of them were wiped out. ”

"What?"

Van Vliet's eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise and asked, "How can a force of thousands of people be wiped out?" ”

The American officer replied: "They were stubbornly resisted and could not break through at all, but the main Chinese forces arrived, surrounded them, and launched a fierce attack, and our troops could not resist at all, so the troops that were intercepted behind were completely annihilated." ”

"Fack~!"

Van Vliet scolded: "Lawrence is a complete fool, he is a sinner. ”

At this time, a brigadier general next to him said: "Commander, the enemy's main forces are now all pressed on the Eastern Front, and our forces on the Eastern Front are seriously insufficient. ”

"Now that they're on the offensive so fiercely, if this trend continues, I'm afraid the situation will be even worse."

Van Vliet fell silent, though the old fellow was furious, but reason told him that he had to calm down now, and the more he got to this point, the more he needed to calm down.

Impulsiveness and anger don't solve anything.

It had already happened, and even if he had arrested Lawrence and shot him, it would have been of no avail.

Of course, Lawrence was already on his way to the prisoner of war camp, and there was no way he could have shot Lawrence.

Van Vliet stared at the sand table and said through gritted teeth: "These Chinese troops are really damned. ”

"Order the troops on the front line, continue to retreat, and try to hold them back."

"We have to continue to preserve our strength and wait for the opportunity to counterattack."

"Their attack will not last long, as long as we can hold out for another two or three days, they will stop the attack due to lack of logistical supplies, and at that time, it will be the time for us to counterattack."

"Now all we have to do is hold them back and preserve our strength."

"Understood?"

“yes sir!”

An American officer next to him hurriedly answered, turned around and went to deliver the order.

Just as Van Vliet was frowning, an officer said, "General, General Ridgway has called. ”

Van Vliet walked over and took the phone and said, "Commander......"

Li Qiwei said: "Old man, I heard that the front line is not going well. ”

Van Vliet replied helplessly: "Now it can't be said that it is not going well, it should be said that it is a heavy loss." ”

"The offensive of the Chinese army is so fierce that I still can't figure out how these guys can have such a strong fighting force."

Li Qiwei said helplessly: "Now you know the horror of these guys!" ”

"Before I came to North Korea, I also thought that those guys couldn't even eat enough, and the weapons they used were decades behind us, but when I actually got here, I knew how terrible they were."

"No wonder General Walker would say that no one can stop us from retreating unless God puts on his helmet and goes into battle."

"It's a formidable enemy we've never faced, and it's so hard to defeat them."

"But our strategy is not wrong, as long as we hold them back, when they run out of ammunition, it will be our chance to counterattack."

Van Vliet nodded and said, "I think so too, but I've heard that they are still sending troops to the front. ”

"And the Congress is obviously not prepared to continue to expand the war, so continuing to fight like this can only be a long-term war of attrition."

Li Qiwei said helplessly: "We didn't expect our enemy to be so strong, what we can do now is to strive for victory as much as possible." ”

"Of course, we also have to ask for as many troops as possible, and I hope that Congress will approve it."

"No matter how difficult it is, we must win this battle, and this has a bearing on the situation in the entire Far East, and if we fail, it will inevitably affect the overall situation."

"I understand!"

Van Vliet replied helplessly: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to win this battle." ”

Li Qiwei said: "I believe in your ability, and I believe in the strength of our troops. ”

"If the war drags on, it will not be good news for us, but the situation of the enemy will be even worse."

"After all, in terms of national strength, they can't be compared with us at all, and if we continue to fight, they will definitely be the ones who will be dragged down first."

Van Vliet nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense, and we can only use this strategy now." ”

"I believe that in the near future, the whole battle situation will improve."

"But we need more air support now, first of all, we need to continue to bomb their troops and stop their attack."

"And we also have to step up the bombing of their logistics line, because they can still launch such a large-scale counteroffensive, which means that their logistics supply line has not been completely cut off, or they have received more reinforcements now, otherwise they will not be able to continue to increase troops to the front line."

Li Qiwei nodded and said: "In the face of our continuous bombardment, these cunning enemies have gradually accumulated a certain amount of experience, which makes the results of our bombing of their logistics line smaller and smaller, and we cannot completely block their logistics supply line." ”

"It has even led to more and more supplies being transported to the front line."

Van Vliet said: "So if this problem is not solved, their strength will become stronger and stronger, and when the time comes, they may not only launch a worship offensive, but may be able to launch a ten-day offensive, a half-moon offensive, or even a one-month offensive." ”

"If it really develops to this point, I'm afraid we really won't be able to stop the enemies that are pouring in like a tide."

"So we have to continue to increase the intensity of bombing, and try everything possible to prevent the enemy from reinforcing the enemy, which is the key to ensuring that we can win."

Li Qiwei nodded and said, "I agree with you, in this regard, I will find a way." ”

"Mobilize more planes to bomb, or adopt a new strategy to achieve greater results, but we must not be in a hurry in this matter, after all, the enemy we are facing is not only stubborn, but also very cunning, and their tenacious ability is beyond our imagination."

The large-scale counteroffensive of the Volunteer Army inflicted huge losses on the enemy, and the enemy troops on the Eastern Front were repeatedly routed.

But as the battle progressed, the volunteers once again encountered a problem that had been bothering them before, that is, the problem of logistics and supply.

After a series of battles, the troops' supplies and ammunition were basically exhausted, and the exhausted fighters could no longer continue the offensive.

In desperation, the headquarters could only order the troops to stop the pursuit and begin to retreat in an orderly manner.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, and even in the last battle, the tragedy of some units being surrounded by the enemy happened again, and the troops began to retreat on their own initiative.

Moreover, this retreat is relatively better organized, and the various units will also cover each other to prevent unnecessary losses.

The United Nations forces did take advantage of this opportunity to launch a full-scale counteroffensive, but under the interception of the volunteers, they did not reap much results.

However, it continued to be pulled, and the battle line was always only maintained near the 38th parallel.

For the time being, both sides were unable to continue to push the front forward, and the war fell into a stalemate for a while.

……

After replenishment, the strength of the 7th Regiment was restored again.

On this day, Wu Qianli received an order from his superiors, asking him to lead the Gang Seventh Regiment to make a roundabout way behind the enemy and attack a camp of the enemy army.

After some preparations, Wu Qianli set off with his troops under the cover of night.

The troops marched cautiously on the dark path, and Wu Qianli introduced to Yu Congrong and others: "In order to ensure the success of this sneak attack, we must carefully intersperse the past, go around in a big circle, run to the enemy's flank and rear, and then launch a sneak attack. ”

"Because if you sneak up on it from the front, the enemy will definitely be prepared, and most likely it will fail."

"We came from the side and rear, and we were taken by surprise, and it is estimated that the American devils could not have dreamed that we would touch it from this direction, and it will definitely work in one fell swoop."

Yu Congrong said: "I've seen the map, but in this way, we need to walk dozens of miles of mountain roads before we can detour back to the attack position." ”

Wu Qianli said: "For the sake of insurance, it is worth walking a little more." ”

Mei Sheng said: "Then we have to hurry up and get to the attack position as soon as possible, if we delay too long and can't end the battle before dawn, there may be other troubles." ”

Wu Qianli nodded and said: "Lao He's words are to the point, if we can't end the battle before dawn, once dawn, the nearby enemies will definitely rush over to support." ”

"At that time, this battle will not be easy to fight, if we take this position before dawn in one go, after dawn, the enemy will not dare to rush over."

"In this way, this position is ours."

"So now everyone is working harder, trying to rush over as soon as possible, and when the fight starts, everyone must be neat and tidy, and strive to kill this enemy as soon as possible."

"Understood!"

Then the troops continued to move forward rapidly, and the road was also reconnoitred in advance, although it was a bit rough and difficult, but it was a common thing for the soldiers, and it was not a problem.

The journey went smoothly, and there was no resistance from the enemy and no trouble.

Wu Qianli waved his hand, signaling everyone to be more careful, because now they were gradually approaching the target.

Wu Qianli took a few soldiers and crept to the top of a mountain, and then several people attacked one after another and killed all the sentry posts set up by the enemy on the mountain.

The enemy was on the hill, and only set up a few guards on duty, which were relatively far away from their main camp, and after several guards were killed, they did not attract the attention of the enemy in the camp.

As Wu Qianli said before, because this direction is not the direction of confrontation with the volunteers, the enemy never dreamed that the volunteers would touch from here, so their defensive strength in this direction is relatively weak.

After the enemy sentry was killed, the soldiers cautiously reached the top of the hill, but did not dare to make too much movement, so as not to alarm the enemy troops below.

Wu Qianli lay behind a big stone and carefully observed the situation, at this moment the enemy's camp was quiet, everything was normal.

Raising his wrist and glancing at his watch, it was now just over two hours before dawn.

Wu Qianli made a few gestures, and several soldiers immediately cautiously touched towards the bottom of the mountain.

Touched the hillside and then entered the enemy camp.

Several snipers were also all in position, aiming at the enemy in the distance.

The men managed to infiltrate the enemy camp without incident, but they all hid in the corners and did not take any further action.

Then the second group also cautiously descended the hill and quietly infiltrated their camp.

Then came the third group, which managed to infiltrate the enemy camp in waves.

In this way, dozens of fighters infiltrated the enemy camp one after another, and quietly occupied some strategic points.

And at this time, the patrolling enemy finally found the volunteer soldiers who had come in.

"Da Da Da Da~!"

With the crisp sound of gunfire, the battle was completely in.

The fighters, who had already entered the camp, immediately attacked the enemy when they heard the gunfire.

For a while, there was a lot of gunfire, and the whole camp was in chaos.

And the snipers in the distance, too, sent several of the enemy's machine gunners to hell at the first time.

Then Wu Qianli took the remaining dozens of warriors, like tigers descending from the mountain, and rushed into the enemy's camp.

At this moment, the entire camp was in disarray, and under the fierce attack of the fighters, the enemy was killed and wounded, and it was simply impossible to organize effective resistance.

A large number of enemies were sent to Hades in their sleep.

Some of the enemies who woke up were even more frightened and scurried around, and they didn't have the courage to resist at all.

Wu Qianli ordered loudly: "Occupy the entire camp as soon as possible." ”

"Da Da Da Da~!"

Dense gunfire rang out, and several enemies were beaten into a sieve by random gunfire.

At this moment, the battlefield was in chaos, and Wu Qianli led the soldiers all the way to successfully occupy the enemy's camp.

More than 200 enemies were killed, dozens were captured, and more than a dozen escaped taking advantage of the chaos.

As soon as the battle ended, Wu Qianli ordered: "Lao Mei, you lead people to organize a defense to prevent the enemy from counterattacking." ”

"Yes!"

"Yu Congrong!"

"Here!"

Wu Qianli ordered: "Send a signal flare to inform the superiors that we have succeeded." ”

"Another clean up the battlefield."

"Yes!"

Yu Congrong hurriedly responded.

Then a shiny flare flew into the air.

In the distance, on the position of the Volunteer Army, Tan Ziwei said with a smile after seeing the signal flare: "They have already succeeded, and I will say that the Seventh Regiment will definitely not let me down." ”

Tan Ziwei smiled, and then ordered: "Immediately send the order, attack the fortified group immediately, and attack the enemy in front of you." ”

"Yes!"

……………………

Although Wu Qianli and they occupied the enemy's main position, in front, there were still two hills occupied by the enemy.

However, these two hills were not large, and only one platoon of the enemy was stationed on each hill.

Under normal circumstances, if the Volunteer Army launched an attack, the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and it might not be able to capture these two hills.

But now it was different, the enemy's rear road was cut off, and the enemy on the hill suddenly panicked.

Not long after, more than a dozen military trumpets sounded the horn of the charge at the same time.

For a while, the sound of the charging horn was everywhere, and for the enemy, this loud charging horn was like a talisman of Hades.

The enemy on the hill was already panicking, but when he heard the trumpet of the charge, he thought that the main force of the volunteers on the opposite side had launched an attack, and he was immediately frightened.

"Kill~!"

The earth-shattering shouts of killing sounded, and in the darkness, it seemed that thousands of troops were rushing to kill.

This made the enemy even more scrambling, and by this time, these American devils no longer had the courage to stay here.

One by one, they abandoned their positions and began to flee, but Wu Qianli had already expected this, and sent people to block their retreat in advance.

When the enemy fled down the mountain, the warriors raised their guns and swept away.

"Da Da Da Da~!"

With the sound of dense gunfire, the enemy was swept down in an instant.

The remaining enemies, seeing that the situation was not good, were so frightened that they raised their hands and surrendered.

The battle went exceptionally well.

However, at this moment, a soldier quickly ran to Wu Qianli and said, "Report to the regiment commander, the enemy's reinforcements are coming." ”

When Wu Qianli heard this, he hurriedly ran up a hillside next to him, holding a telescope and looking into the distance.

Sure enough, I saw a car light in the distance.

"It's a tank!"

"It seems like there are a dozen tanks!"

"Yards!"

"Prepare for battle at once, and keep me at bay from their attack."

"Yes!"

The warriors replied with a bang.

At this moment, Tan Ziwei was rushing towards this side with a few soldiers, and he also received the news.

"The enemy has more than a dozen tanks, covering the infantry to start a counteroffensive."

"The Seventh Regiment is preparing to block it."

Tan Ziwei couldn't help but scolded: "Damn, it's quite fast, pass the order, leave two platoons to hold the hilltop position, and the rest of the troops all support the Gang Seventh Regiment, be sure to block the enemy's counterattack." ”

"Yes!"

……………………

On the blocking position, the soldiers of the 7th Regiment were busy building positions.

Wu Qianli came to the artillery position, patted Lei Gong on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Lei Gong, I'll see you later." ”

"Concentrate your fire and blow up the enemy infantry behind the tank."

Lei Gong grinned and said, "You can rest assured!" ”

"With these mortars, it's enough for these foreign devils to drink a pot."

Wu Qianli said: "Pay attention to safety. ”

Lei Gong said with a smile: "I am very safe here, there is a mountain in the way, and the machine guns and artillery of the enemy's tanks can't reach us at all." ”

This is not bad, because the guns on the tank are all running straight shots, and there are mountains blocking them, and they really can't blow up Lei Gong and them.

But Lei Gong's mortar was a curved artillery, firing a curved one, which could fly over the hill and directly bombard the enemy infantry behind the tank.

Wu Qianli said with a smile: "It's still you old guy who is a thief!" ”

Lei Gong smiled and said, "It's better for you kid to be careful!" ”

"Lao Tzu is an old bachelor, if he dies, he will die, his eyes are closed, and there is no trouble."

"But if I survive by luck, and when I retire from the army in the future, I still expect you to provide for me in my old age."

Wu Qianli said with a smile: "Damn, Lei Gong, you are too unauthentic, I will treat you as a big brother, and you and I will be a son!" ”

Lei Dad said with a smile: "Who told us that we have no ability, we can't get a daughter-in-law, so we can only rely on you to support the elderly." ”

Wu Qianli said with a smile: "You want to take advantage of me, no way!" After returning to China, I will tell you a big fat daughter-in-law, and then give you a litter of cubs, and then you will be reluctant to die. ”

"Haha~!"

Lei Gong laughed and said, "Your kid's mouth is getting more and more powerful, and he will really make my old man happy." ”

Wu Qianli patted Lei Gong's shoulder and said with a smile: "You! Not old at all! ”

After Wu Qianli said this, he turned around and left quickly.

Came to a forward position, lay down in the ring fortifications, and glanced at the situation outside.

I saw that the enemy stopped a few hundred meters away, and seemed to be considering whether to attack.

Yu Congrong said: "Don't they dare to attack? ”

Wu Qianli raised the binoculars and observed, couldn't help but change his face, and hurriedly ordered: "Avoid the artillery, everyone is hidden, avoid the cannon." ”

It turned out that Wu Qianli could see at a glance that the turrets of those enemy tanks were slowly turning, obviously looking for targets.

Where does the enemy not dare to attack!

They clearly wanted to shell first, and then attack.

However, this is also the usual practice of the enemy, these guys are very desperate for their lives, even if they have tanks as cover, they generally do not attack directly without artillery preparation.

More than a dozen tanks, plus more than a dozen tank guns, this firepower is also quite fierce.

Fortunately, Wu Qianli noticed that something was wrong in time and reminded them, and the soldiers immediately hid in a safe place.

Sure enough, just a dozen seconds later, there was a rumbling cannon sound from the opposite side.

"Chirp~!"

With a piercing whistling sound, the shells quickly pierced the night sky and flew straight towards the blocking position of the Seventh Regiment.

"Boom~! Rumble~! ”

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and patches of fire rose into the air.

In the blink of an eye, the fortifications of the forward positions were caught in a state of artillery fire.

Yu Congrong hid behind a big rock, held his hat and said, "It's so dangerous!" These dogs are insidious enough, too. ”

Wu Qianli, who was hiding not far away, shouted at Yu Congrong: "Yu Congrong, bring it back, after the battle starts, you take the Bazooka group to the two wings and take the time to fight their tanks." ”

Yu Congrong made a gesture at Wu Qianli, meaning to ensure that the task was completed. (End of chapter)
