The Bright Sword of Changjin Lake becomes stronger

[-]th Marine Regiment Headquarters
"Reporting to the commander, the troops of the 23rd Regiment and the 28th Regiment have arrived at the predetermined position and have launched an attack on positions in other directions of Hwachuan."

A US military officer took the telegram and reported to Colombates.

"Reinforcements have arrived? How is the progress?"

A glimmer of hope ignited in Crombetz's heart and he asked quickly.

"Sir, their footing was not stable, but they were hit by several counterattacks. Now they have suffered heavy losses."

"General Ridgway said that the Chinese army in Hill 331 has the smallest number of troops and the most important position. He ordered us to conquer it at all costs."

The US military officer lowered his head and replied helplessly.

"The minimum number of troops?"

"Damn it, why don't I let the 28th Regiment and the others switch with me and let them see the Chinese army with beautiful weapons?!"

"Major General Smith was defeated by them back then. Why did the general say so lightly?"

Crombez slammed the table vigorously and cursed angrily.

"Sir, Highland 331 guards the chokepoint of Hwachuan Highway."

"If we cannot conquer it, even if the 28th Regiment succeeds, it will be difficult for heavy tanks and vehicles to enter."

"That's why General Ridgway may have issued... a death order."

Another US military officer paused for a while before speaking.

After all, the U.S. military values ​​the lives of soldiers very preciously, and there is rarely an order like this time at all costs.

"Eh……"

"I also want to capture Highland 331 as soon as possible. Do you have any ideas?"

After a moment of silence, Crombetz sighed slowly.

"Sir, we can try a few more times to disrupt the situation with artillery fire, and then we'll wait for an opportunity to attack."

"The Chinese army has to tense up every time artillery fire comes, but our offensive initiative is firmly in our hands."

"Even if it fails, it's just a loss of some artillery shells, and there will be far fewer casualties than an onslaught at all costs."

A US military officer thought for a while and suggested.

"Okay, let's try more for now."

"Command the howitzer battalion, don't worry about the shells, blow them up hard for me. I will apply for supplies after the bombing is done."

Crombez hesitated for a moment and then replied.

"Yes, sir!"

................................................

Soon the order reached the howitzer battalion.

As the flag was waved, the rows of howitzers roared again, and some of the barrels even turned slightly red from the long-term bombardment.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A violent explosion hit the high ground again, and a small amount of black smoke even began to drift towards the location where Gang Qi Tuan was hiding.

After the bombardment extended, the vanguard team of the reconnaissance battalion ran out again to observe the situation.

After discovering that the US military was not attacking, the vanguard team immediately retreated. Just when they returned to the Seventh Regiment, artillery fire outside began to explode again.

This was repeated several times, and the legs of the soldiers in the vanguard group were almost numb from running.

"Taking his mother in his mouth!"

"Commander, the American devils are treating us like monkeys."

Reconnaissance company commander Wu Jin rubbed his sore thigh muscles and cursed loudly.

He is the leader of the two vanguard groups. The clay figures were getting very angry when they tossed him back and forth just a few times.

"The American devils are relying on their large number of artillery shells. They want to come more often to paralyze us so that they can attack more easily."

"Comrades who have worked hard, keep an eye on them. I estimate that I will launch an attack in the next few times."

Wu Qianli patted Wu Jin on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Don't worry, captain, I'll just yell at the American devils to relieve my anger."

"If they dare to attack the high ground, I promise to notify the regiment headquarters as soon as possible!"

After Wu Jin saluted, he hurried out with others.

Sure enough, after another round of artillery fire from the US military, a vanguard force quickly attacked the high ground, hoping to win quickly.

"Signal bomb!"

Wu Jin put down the telescope, turned around and shouted to the soldier next to him.The scout scout beside him quickly pulled out his flare gun, pointed it at the sky and pulled the trigger.

"Chirp—"

Along with the rapid sound of the signal flare, a flash of red light rose into the sky, which was particularly conspicuous in the mid-air.

After receiving the signal, Wu Qianli quickly rushed to the position with the Gangqi Regiment.

When the American soldiers in the middle of the charge looked up and saw the muzzles of their guns, they were shocked.

The whistling bullets penetrated their bodies sharply, and countless blood mist splashed into the air.

Many American soldiers wanted to raise their guns to fight back, but suddenly they saw the grenade falling to the side and was instantly swallowed up by the explosion.

"Retreat! Retreat!"

Seeing that the attack failed, the commander of the vanguard retreated while giving orders loudly.

Soon, the American troops who ventured to attack left behind countless corpses and were driven back again.

Colombates at the bottom of the mountain dropped the telescope for the second time and returned to the headquarters angrily.

But this time, several US military officers were already waiting here, ready to discuss a new combat plan.

"Fuck you! Our plan failed again!"

"Our friendly forces are really good. They have sent them so many American weapons and ammunition."

"The equipment of this Chinese army is almost catching up with ours, and they don't even lack signal flares."

Crombez threw his white gloves on the table and cursed.

All the US military officers looked at each other and lowered their heads, not daring to look at Crombetz.

"I need your battle plan, not guilty silence."

"Otherwise, would the United States have raised a bunch of trash?"

Colombates glanced at the group of officers with cold eyes and said slowly.

"Sir, we have another way, but I hope you can consider it carefully."

A US military officer hesitated for a moment and finally gritted his teeth and spoke.

"Come on, we don't have much choice anymore."

Colombates seemed to have guessed something, his eyes deepened, and he said slowly.

"Sir, we can form an assault force and advance with the barrage of artillery fire."

"As long as we kill the Chinese army quickly before they can react, we can capture their blocking position."

The US military officer swallowed and bravely spoke.

The other officers all cast slightly surprised looks, but they all hesitated to speak.

They also thought of this method, but they dared not say it.

After all, what the hell are commandos? In the final analysis, they are just death squads who may be accidentally bombed.

The U.S. military is rarely willing to sacrifice human lives to fight in this way, so if something happens, the person who proposed it will be held responsible.

"Let's do it this way. You select people to form a commando team and launch the attack in an hour."

Colombates hesitated for 2 minutes and finally gave the order.

As soon as he finished speaking, people around him cast sympathetic glances.

"What!? I will lead the team myself?"

The US military officer who just made the suggestion widened his eyes, and cold sweat instantly covered his back.

If he knew this was the result, he shouldn't have said anything after being beaten to death just now.

"Don't worry, if something happens, we will help take care of your wife and cute little daughter."

A familiar officer smiled and patted his shoulder, comforting him.

"Sir..."

The US military officer swallowed and wanted to argue.

"Don't worry, as long as we capture Highland 331, your achievements will not be buried."

"I believe you don't want to be forcibly brought to a military court for disobeying orders on the battlefield, right?"

Colombates was cruel and used both kindness and power.

"Don't worry, sir. It's my honor to fight to the death for the United States."

The US military officer was stunned for a few seconds with a pale face, and then said slowly. (End of chapter)
