The Bright Sword of Changjin Lake becomes stronger

Late at night, Shiji

The boss stood in front of the sand table, staring at the sand table, his brows furrowed deeply, as if he was deducing the battle situation on the front line.

At this time, Chief of Staff Xie walked over quickly and said: "Boss, that kid Wu Qianli has made a meritorious service again!"

"He led the Gangqi Regiment to cooperate with the 27th Army and successfully broke through the defense line of the US 24th Division."

"At present, the entire 24th Division of the US Army has collapsed across the board. They are retreating across the board. Our army will take advantage of the situation and continue to launch a fierce attack."

"If nothing else happens, we can definitely take advantage of this opportunity to open a breakthrough here."

The boss was also overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly lay down on the sand table, stared at the attack direction of the 27th Army, and said:
"Okay, Qianli is indeed a great general!"

"The U.S. 24th Division was really beaten to the point of collapse across the board."

Chief of Staff Jie nodded and said with a smile: "Reporting from the front, all units are moving forward with all their strength, and the US military can no longer organize effective resistance."

"Haha~!"

The boss couldn't help laughing and said: "Hahaha... ok!"

"I heard before that the 24th Division of the US Army has weak combat effectiveness. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true."

"If we take the lead in opening this gap, we will take advantage of this opportunity and continue to advance southward. We must continue to expand our advantage on the left wing."

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie responded quickly.

The boss continued: "Li Qiwei, this old fox, just wants to take this opportunity to gradually bring us down. We must not let him get his wish."

"No matter what, we must not let them get what they want."

"But Li Qiwei will definitely be on guard, and if something goes wrong on their side, they will definitely find ways to fill the gap."

"So we still can't take it lightly."

Chief of Staff Xie pointed to the sand table and said: "Based on the current situation, the US military deployed behind the US 24th Division should be a British force."

"Now that the US 24th Division has been defeated by us, they will definitely come up and try to continue to block us."

The boss frowned and pondered for a moment, then said: "We must not let them rearrange their defense lines. If that is the case, it will be a lot of trouble."

"They are all mechanized troops. Once they are given a chance to breathe, their reinforcements will come quickly to support them."

"At that time, if we want to restore the situation, it will not be that easy."

"So we must fight as hard as possible, work hard, and continue to launch a fierce attack."

"Before they set up a new line of defense, they pursued them all the way, and together with the British troops, they were defeated."

"In this way, we can achieve a decisive victory in this direction, which is very beneficial to the entire war situation."

Chief of Staff Xie nodded and said: "What the boss said is absolutely true. Then I will immediately send electricity to the Ninth Corps and let them make specific arrangements according to your instructions."

The boss nodded slightly and said, "Let's do this first!"

"By the way, tell Wu Qianli that the military rank system has made some progress, and let him seize the opportunity to severely defeat the enemy and achieve more great achievements!"

"In addition, let the frontline report the specific situation at any time. Just say that I am waiting for their good news. Victory or failure depends on this."

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

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

Wu Qianli led the soldiers of Gang [-]th Regiment up a mountain and looked at the situation on the battlefield.

Wu Wanli said excitedly: "Brother, the American devils have been defeated on all fronts. It's really great."

Yu Congrong smiled and said: "Captain, what are you waiting for?"

"Let's continue the attack and take advantage of this opportunity to kill more enemies."

Wu Qianli said: "Don't worry, even if we have the right to make a decision, we still need the cooperation of friendly forces."

At this time, Mei Sheng ran up quickly and said: "Report to the captain, we have just contacted the head of the 27th Army. We can continue to attack forward boldly."

"The head of the 27th Army just hopes that we will pursue it with all our strength, expand the results as much as possible, strive to eliminate more enemies, and completely destroy the US military's defense line. They will quickly follow up."

Hearing this, Wu Qianli couldn't help but smile and said:

"In this case, we can let go and have a good fight with these dogs."

"Everyone from the Gang Seventh Regiment is here!"

"To!"

The soldiers of Gang [-] Regiment responded in unison.

Wu Qianli waved his hand and ordered with a serious face: "Follow me and pursue!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded loudly.

Pinghe had just finished his investigation and ran back and said: "Commander, the American devils are fleeing south with all their strength."

Wu Qianli nodded slightly and said, "Okay! In that case, the next step will be easy."

"We are relatively familiar with the terrain in this area. We will circle around and outflank it later."

"I will definitely be able to get ahead of my brother troops, intercept some of the enemies, and maybe even take the opportunity to catch a big fish!"

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

The Gang [-]th Regiment had sent people to the nearby area to reconnoiter the enemy's situation before, so they knew the terrain in advance.

I know there is a small road next to it that can go directly to the front of the US military.

Therefore, Wu Qianli led the soldiers of the Gang [-]th Regiment and started a large detour along this path towards the rear of the US military.

At this moment, the US 24th Division had been completely defeated, and they were defeated across the board.

Therefore, the volunteers have nothing to be afraid of. They can just pursue them all the way forward.

Wu Qianli was relatively familiar with this path and led a team of sharp knives to clear the way ahead.

Wu Qianli and the soldiers of the Gang [-]th Regiment walked over the mountains and ridges all the way to the Qingshan Mountains.

The journey was relatively smooth, and we soon reached the Qingshan area.

Wu Qianli climbed to the top of a mountain and observed with a telescope.

It was discovered that there was a group of enemies in the valley, busy building positions, and the situation was a bit chaotic.

To the north, broken troops of the US 24th Division continued to retreat.

Now Wu Qianli can be sure that the US 24th Division has been completely defeated and cannot stop the main attack of the Volunteer Army.

The British 29th Brigade, after receiving Ridgway's order, was preparing to join the US 24th Division, preparing to withstand the Volunteer Army's attack in order to stabilize the defense line.

At this moment, in the headquarters of the British 29th Brigade, the brigade commander, Major General Brodie, was staring at the sand table in front of him with a sad look on his face.

A British colonel next to him frowned and said: "General, according to the situation we have obtained so far, the 24th Division has been completely defeated and is no longer able to form effective combat effectiveness."

"And the main force of the Chinese army, at least tens of thousands of people, is pursuing it with all its strength."

"Now their vanguard is less than ten miles away from our defense zone, and they are advancing very quickly because the 24th Division can no longer stop their offensive."

Brody's frown deepened and he couldn't help but ask: "Do you think it's possible for us to stop their offensive now?"

The colonel frowned and said: "The enemy's offensive is very fierce. Judging from the current trend, it may be difficult for us to resist their attack."

Hearing this, Brody's face became even more ugly.

Because in previous battles, the British army had already defeated two elite rifle regiments and heavy tank regiments by the volunteers, suffering heavy losses, and some troops were even close to being wiped out.

In the previous battles, the British army, which sent the second largest number of troops, also suffered heavy losses.

These few battles have left the British army with a psychological shadow, and Brody is also afraid that he will follow in their footsteps.

Brody said angrily: "A division of the US military was completely defeated by them. Can one of our brigade stop their attack?"

"They want us to go up and cover the retreat of their 24th Division. This is really unreasonable."

At this moment, Brody, who already had a psychological shadow, had already thought of retreating.

However, it would be too shameless to just say retreat, so he needed a reasonable excuse.

The British colonel was also a man. When he heard this, he didn't know what Brody meant. He quickly said: "What the general said is absolutely true. They just want us to die."

Brody nodded and said: "This guy Ridgway is so hateful, we can't let them use us as guns."

"We will not waste the lives of our soldiers in order to cover their retreat. We will not do such a stupid thing."

The British colonel said quickly: "What the General said is very true, but if we retreat directly, it will be difficult for the headquarters to explain."

Brody nodded and said, "They can win the battle, can't we?"

"One of their divisions was defeated, and they still expect our brigade to rescue them. It's embarrassing and even more embarrassing for them."

"Let's do this. Immediately send an order to all the troops to be ready to retreat at any time. We can't serve as their spearmen."

"But we can't let them take advantage of it. We have to resist no matter what."

"Let the frontline troops make a symbolic resistance. Once they discover that the main force of the Chinese army is launching an attack, they will retreat immediately to minimize the casualties of the troops."

"yes sir!"

The colonel responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

I have to say, this Brody is still very cunning.

He didn't really want to be used as a weapon by Li Qiwei, nor did he want to be caught by him, so he prepared to resist for a while and then retreat.

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

At the same time, Pinghe led the reconnaissance battalion to complete the investigation and introduced the situation here in Qingshan to Wu Qianli.

After hearing this, Wu Qianli said with a smile: "Okay! They are not well prepared, and a large number of broken troops retreated, which must be the morale of the army. We can take advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack."

"The enemy will definitely not expect that we will arrive in Qingshan so quickly. If we attack suddenly, we will definitely be able to catch them off guard."

"If everything goes well, there will be no problem in taking over the valley ahead." "By the way, do they have many troops stationed in the valley? Are there any reinforcements nearby?"

Pinghe replied: "They have few troops and low morale, and no reinforcements have been found so far."

Wu Qianli hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "It's done! Send the order immediately, and the whole regiment is ready to attack."

"Yes!"

Under the command of Wu Qianli, the soldiers of the Gang [-]th Regiment quietly approached the valley under the cover of night.

Lei Gong took his artillery battalion to the top of a mountain and set up rows of mortars.

Wu Qianli also came to the forward position, observed the situation, and found that the situation was similar to what Pinghe said.

After Wu Qianli finished his observation, he walked up to Mei Sheng and said: "At this moment, not many enemy troops have broken down and retreated. I will take some of the leading soldiers to pretend to be broken troops and approach their position."

"It's dark now, so they may not be able to spot us. We need to get as close to them as possible and then launch a surprise attack."

Mei Sheng nodded and said: "Okay, Commander, you must be careful. I will follow up quickly with the main force, and Lei Gong's artillery will provide us with cover."

"Do not worry!"

Wu Qianli nodded, and then took Wu Wanli and others one step ahead.

They went down the mountain and followed the road in the valley, approaching the enemy's position.

At this time, Wu Qianli and the others had changed into the uniforms of the US military. In the dark, the enemy could not see clearly and could not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

At the same time, Mei Sheng and the remaining soldiers of the Gang [-]th Regiment also quietly touched down, followed Wu Qianli and the others, and touched up towards the enemy's position at a distance of about tens of meters.

God help us, the enemy's position was very busy, and those enemy soldiers were busy building their positions.

Wu Qianli and the others approached the enemy position about ten meters away, and then they discovered that the enemy troops stationed here were not American troops, but British troops.

But for Wu Qianli and the others, both the US and British troops are enemies, and they should just beat them up.

Wu Qianli and others were armed with submachine guns, all bullets loaded, ready to attack at any time.

Wu Wanli and others who were following behind had grenades ready in their hands, ready to throw the grenades at the enemy positions at any time.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was less than ten meters. Wu Qianli and the others lowered their heads and continued walking forward.

A British soldier on the opposite side shouted: "Who are you?"

Wu Qianli didn't even look up and shouted in very standard English: "We are from the 24th Division of the US Army."

Saying this, he did not stop and continued to move forward.

The British soldier had no doubts, but complained and cursed: "You cowards, you retreated so quickly, have you lost the honor of being a soldier?"

Soon, Wu Qianli walked up to the British army and suddenly raised his head.

The British soldier glanced at Wu Qianli and suddenly felt something was wrong.

At this time, Wu Qianli raised his gun and shouted in Chinese: "Hit me hard!"

He said and pulled the trigger directly.

"Da da da~!"

A burst of intense gunfire rang out, and blazing bullets flew quickly towards the British army like raindrops.

Several British soldiers on the opposite side did not react at all and were instantly beaten into pieces.

Wu Jin and others also raised their submachine guns, pointed at the enemy and pulled the trigger.

Suddenly there was a loud sound of gunfire, and dense bullets poured towards the enemy like raindrops. In an instant, more than 20 enemies were mowed down.

Wu Wanli and the others also threw grenades. After throwing one out, they took out the second one and threw it towards the British position with all their strength.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

Violent explosions continued to sound, and the British troops were instantly turned upside down by the bombs, leaving a mass of casualties.

At this moment, Lei Gong in the distance saw the sound of gunshots in the valley, and immediately shouted: "Ten rounds of rapid fire, fire~!"

Following Lei Gong's order, rows of mortars opened fire with all their strength, and the shells flew quickly towards the British army's deep positions with a harsh whistling sound.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

A violent explosion sounded, and pieces of fire shot into the sky.

Before the British troops on the position understood what was going on, they were blown to pieces and their bodies were covered in mourning.

Originally, these British troops were seizing the time to build fortifications, and they did not expect that the volunteers would attack so soon.

Under the attack of the Gangqi Regiment, chaos suddenly broke out.

Wu Qianli did not stop, but rushed over with the soldiers, raised the submachine gun in his hand, and fired randomly, making the scene even more chaotic.

At this moment, Mei Sheng and his main force were less than 50 meters away from the enemy's position.

After Mei Sheng heard the gunfire, he immediately shouted: "Breakmaster, blow the charge horn."

"Charge the whole company!"

"Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock~!"

A loud charge horn sounded immediately, and Yu Congrong led the soldiers from the firepower battalion as the vanguard and let out a loud shout of killing.

One by one, they rushed towards the British position like tigers descending from the mountain.

Hearing the sound of the charge horn and the shouts of killing from the seventh regiment, the British army panicked. They thought that the main force of the volunteers had already attacked.

The enemies who already had psychological shadows dared to resist. They were so frightened that they turned around and ran away.

The British troops in the valley did not form effective resistance at all and were directly defeated.

About several hundred people from the US 24th Division, who had just withdrawn, were resting in an open space 300 meters away.

Seeing this scene, everyone was frightened and the camp was blown up in an instant. No one among the hundreds of people even wanted to turn back and fight, and they all ran away southward.

Wu Qianli never expected that the battle would go so smoothly, leading the soldiers to charge and fight all the way.

Rampant on the British army's position, chasing behind the British army, and shooting constantly.

A string of bullets flew past, and the enemies running around fell to the ground in pieces.

Wu Qianli led the soldiers to become more and more courageous as they fought, stepping on the corpses of the British soldiers and continuing to pursue forward.

News of the attack on Qingshanli was quickly conveyed to the headquarters of the British 29th Brigade.

Brody shouted in panic: "How could the Chinese army arrive in Qingshan so quickly?"

"Didn't you say they were still a few miles away?"

The British colonel said quickly: "General, we don't know why Chinese troops suddenly appeared here."

"But as far as we know, the Chinese are particularly good at making detours. It should be one of their troops that made a detour into Qingshan."

Major General Brody cursed: "Farke, damn the enemy, they are too fast."

Thinking that what the Volunteer Army is best at is making circuitous insertions, and given the current situation, once they are surrounded by the Volunteer Army, the consequences will be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Major General Brody's face became even more ugly. The old devil whispered: "We didn't understand our enemy before. In the previous battles, our troops suffered such heavy losses because they underestimated the enemy." , resulting in the troops being surrounded and interspersed, we must not repeat the same mistake."

The colonel quickly asked: "General, what should we do now?"

"How to do?"

Major General Brody said: "Can we still wait to be wiped out by them?"

"Immediately pass the order and the troops will retreat across the board. They must retreat to a safe place as soon as possible."

"yes sir!"

The colonel responded quickly and then went to convey the order.

Under Brodie's order, the British 29th Brigade began to retreat across the board.

In fact, at this time, the main force of the volunteer army had not caught up yet.

However, as soon as the British troops withdrew, the enemy became even more disorganized and unable to stop the fierce offensive of the Gang [-]th Regiment.

The 27th Volunteer Army headquarters received news of the enemy's full retreat through scouts.

The head of the 27th Army immediately ordered all units to continue their full pursuit and to eliminate as many enemy troops as possible to expand the results.

So the main force of the 27th Army and some friendly forces began to attack southward with all their strength.

The enemy retreated and was defeated, unable to form effective resistance at all.

The Gangqi Regiment led by Wu Qianli successfully captured the position near Qingshanli.

After wiping out the nearby enemies, the main force all caught up and were not far away from them.

Yu Congrong ran up to Wu Qianli and said excitedly: "Captain, this battle has been fought so happily. The British have been defeated across the board."

"We killed at least 200 British soldiers and captured more than 300 people."

Wu Qianli said: "The enemy army has been completely defeated. We should pursue the victory and expand the results."

Mei Sheng frowned and said, "But we have captured so many enemies. What should we do with so many prisoners?"

Wu Qianli said: "The prisoners have all disarmed and are gathered in the open space in the nearby mountain col. It is expected that they will not dare to resist. It is enough to leave a few people to guard these prisoners."

"For the rest of the troops, just continue the pursuit."

Mei Sheng frowned and said, "Isn't it too risky to leave only a few people to guard more than 300 prisoners?"

Wu Qianli smiled confidently and assured: "I think there is no problem at all."

"A group of enemies who have lost their fighting spirit and have surrendered are no different than a group of sheep."

Yu Congrong nodded repeatedly and said loudly: "Political commissar. I think what the regiment leader said makes sense. Anyway, the main force behind will be here soon."

"Leave a few people to guard them. I don't think they dare to move rashly."

Pinghe also said: "These American devils are very afraid of death. They dare not act rashly."

Wu Qianli immediately decided: "That's it. The political commissar will lead two squads to guard the prisoners."

"The rest of you, follow me to continue the pursuit!" (End of this chapter)
