The Bright Sword of Changjin Lake becomes stronger

That night, the Chinese Volunteer Army launched another fierce attack.

The British 29th Brigade, led by Major General Brody, was indeed on the verge of collapse. As soon as they discovered that the volunteers had launched an attack, he led his troops and fled south in embarrassment.

As one of the vanguards, the Gang [-]th Regiment quickly rushed into the enemy's position.

Yu Congrong smiled and said: "Captain, you are really amazing. It's exactly what you expected."

Wu Qianli said with a smile: "Brody, this old devil, has been completely frightened. He doesn't dare to challenge us anymore."

"But now things are only half done. Next, we have to speed up and stop this US 65 group."

"The members of the 65th Regiment will set off immediately and make a circuitous route towards the rear of the [-]th Regiment."

Not only Wu Qianli's Gang 65th Regiment, Tan Ziwei also led other troops from the [-]rd Battalion and quickly began to weave and weave toward the rear of the US [-]th Regiment.

At this time, the main force of the Chinese Volunteer Army also launched a frontal attack. Under the command of Colonel Harris, the US 65th Regiment retreated while fighting, slowly retreating southward.

I have to say that Colonel Harris still has some skills. The troops retreated step by step, with strong fire cover and night flights to cooperate.

They kept dropping bombs one after another, and violent explosions covered their retreat, so their situation was very safe.

However, he never dreamed that the Chinese Volunteer Army would take advantage of the opportunity of the British 29th Brigade's early retreat to intervene.

Moreover, Tan Ziwei and the Third Battalion quickly crossed over, very quickly, and accurately cut off the US 65th Regiment's retreat.

Tan Ziwei led the soldiers to take the lead in seizing the area around Samdong-ri, cutting off the retreat of the US 65th Regiment and a certain unit of the Philippine Army.

The news quickly reached Colonel Harris' headquarters. Colonel Harris's eyes widened in surprise and he quickly asked: "Fuck, where did they come from? How could they suddenly appear behind us?"

At this time, a staff officer said: "There is only one possibility, which is to pass through here, otherwise they would not be able to come here at all."

Colonel Harris glanced at the map and said: "This is the defense area of ​​the British 29th Brigade."

The staff officer said: "I heard that as soon as it got dark, the British 29th Brigade began to retreat quickly, exposing our flanks to the enemy. The enemy must have taken this opportunity to penetrate us."

"Fake!"

Colonel Harris couldn't help but cursed: "These hateful Chinese troops are so cunning."

"And Brody is a bastard who succeeds more than he fails. These bastards are simply a bunch of pig teammates."

At this time, the staff officer next to him quickly said: "Maybe the British 29th Brigade suffered too many losses in the previous battle and was afraid of being beaten by the enemy, so it ran so fast."

"Too big a loss? A bunch of losers!"

Colonel Harris cursed angrily: "I think these bastards are all a bunch of trash."

The staff officer quickly persuaded: "Sir, calm down. The most important thing now is to recapture Sandongli as soon as possible and open up a retreat route."

"Otherwise, we may be surrounded by Chinese troops, and we will follow in the footsteps of Gloucester Battalion."

Colonel Harris looked at the map and said: "It is impossible to go around. We can only retake Sandongli. It is also our fault for our own negligence. We did not deploy enough troops here before. Now it is too late to regret."

"Immediately order the troops to mobilize troops to counterattack Sandongli. No matter what, I must win Sandongli."

"In addition, the frontal blocking troops must stop their attack as much as possible to buy us enough time."

"yes sir!"

Following Colonel Harris's order, the enemy immediately mobilized troops and began to counterattack Sandongli.

At the same time, the enemy also called for night flights to bomb our military positions in the Samdong-ri area.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

Violent explosions continued to sound, patches of fire rose from the position, and the surrounding area was engulfed in artillery fire.

Fortunately, the terrain in Sandongli was complicated, and it was night after all, so the accuracy of the enemy's night flight bombs was not that high.

Wu Qianli raised his head and glanced at the night sky, frowned and said, "These damn black widows have really powerful special codes."

Mei Sheng observed it and said, "Our side is pretty good. I guess Tan Ziwei's losses there will be greater."

Wu Qianli sighed, helpless about this.

After all, there is indeed a huge gap between the two sides, especially in terms of firepower. This is not a reality that has to be faced.

It is not that easy to completely bridge this gap.

At this time Wu Wanli ran over and shouted: "Brother, the enemy is coming up."

Wu Qianli shouted loudly: "Everyone, enter the blocking position and prepare to fight."

"Yes!"

The soldiers of Gang [-]th Regiment responded quickly, and then followed Wu Qianli and rushed to the blocking position.

Under the cover of the tanks, the enemy rushed towards Sandongli in a menacing manner.

The soldiers of the third battalion relied on the favorable terrain to launch a tenacious blockade. Relying on the favorable terrain, they repelled the enemy's charges several times.

After Colonel Harris got the news, he immediately panicked.

Because behind them, one of their regiments was retreating steadily against the main force of one division of the Volunteer Army.

If they cannot withdraw in time at this time, they will be in a situation where they will be attacked from both sides.

Colonel Harris was anxious.

The staff officer next to him said: "Captain, you are always the smartest, but you should give me some ideas, otherwise our army may really be annihilated."

When Colonel Harris heard this, his face suddenly darkened.

What ideas could he have?
  Don't look at this old cunning guy. He can usually be a little clever, but now the pursuers are chasing him closely and the road ahead is blocked. What ideas can he have?

Colonel Harris asked: "Is there no other way around?"

A staff officer said: "There is only one path left that can go around Sandongli, but this path can only be used by people. Our trucks and tanks cannot pass at all."

Hearing this, Colonel Harris almost fainted and said angrily: "What kind of road is that?"

"Inform all the troops immediately and launch an attack with all your strength. You must retake Sandongli for me."

"In addition, call the headquarters immediately for support."

Colonel Harris's call for help was conveyed to the enemy's headquarters as quickly as possible.

Ridgway and Van Fleet, two old guys, were very nervous after receiving the news.

Ridgway said: "No matter what, we must rescue them." Van Fleet stared at the sand table in front of him and said: "The closest is the British 29th Brigade, and they are the only ones who can rescue the US 65th Regiment in time."

Li Qiwei smiled bitterly and said: "Do you think Brody will go to rescue the US 65th Group now?"

"They had just started to protest, but the U.S. 65th Regiment refused to save them, resulting in the Gloucester Battalion being completely wiped out."

"It is absolutely impossible for them to rescue the US 65th Regiment now."

Van Fleet couldn't help but scolded: "Harris is also a complete fool. Let him go to rescue Camp Gloucester. Even if he doesn't want his troops to die, he can't let others catch him!"

"It's okay now. They are surrounded by themselves. Who can they count on to rescue them."

Li Qiwei frowned and said: "The Chinese army is pressing forward across the board, resulting in our current strength being somewhat insufficient."

"As a result, it will be difficult for us to rescue the besieged US 65th Regiment."

Van Fleet said angrily: "It stands to reason that they shouldn't be able to hold on for long."

Li Qiwei said: "That's what I guessed too, but all of this is just our guess."

"But it stands to reason that they can never hold on for too long. We should be able to defeat them soon and launch a counterattack."

"You're saying this is just their last act of madness," VanVleet said.

"Not bad!"

Li Qiwei nodded.

Van Fleet quickly walked to the sand table and said: "It is still necessary to mobilize troops to support them, but we cannot mobilize enough troops to support them in a short period of time."

"My opinion is, let them try to break out on their own. If they can successfully break out, it is naturally the best. If they cannot break out, then they should defend on the spot to resist the enemy's attack."

"I estimate that they may not be able to hold on for long, and we can also take the opportunity to organize our troops and start a counterattack."

"After dawn, we can mobilize aircraft for bombing, so as long as they can hold on until dawn, everything will be easy."

Li Qiwei nodded and said: "What you said makes some sense. It's just that the 65th Regiment fell into the siege and became a piece of meat in the mouth of the Chinese army."

"Even if they want to stop attacking, they will definitely eat this piece of meat with all their strength. As a result, the situation of the 65th Regiment is still quite dangerous."

After hearing this, Van Fleet pondered for a moment and said: "After all, they have a regiment. We can send aircraft to support them, and the heavy artillery unit can also provide long-range artillery support. Isn't this enough to ensure their safety?"

"Besides, apart from that, I'm afraid we don't have any other better way, right?"

Li Qiwei couldn't help but cursed: "Fake!"

The situation in front of him was completely different from what he had expected. He thought he could withstand the enemy's offensive with minimal casualties, but he did not expect that things would develop to such a situation.

The volunteers' offensive was extremely ferocious, causing them huge casualties, and these casualties were still increasing.

Van Fleet seemed to see what he was thinking, and said quickly: "You don't have to worry, as long as we launch a counterattack, we can recover all the losses we have made before."

"Being able to defeat this powerful enemy will make the casualties we pay worthwhile."

Hearing this, Li Qiwei nodded and said, "This is already the case, what else can I say?"

"And we have no other choice but to grit our teeth and continue to persevere and strive for greater victory."

Van Fleet pointed to the sand table and said: "You can order the British 29th Brigade to rescue the U.S. 65th Regiment. They don't have to, but we must give this order."

"Aren't they using this to protest against us? Now they won't rescue us. Then we will have something to say."

Li Qiwei nodded.

Van Fleet continued: "The other thing is, from the other direction, notify the First Cavalry Division and ask them to send a unit to come as soon as possible for support."

"In short, we must ensure the safety of the 65th Regiment as much as possible."

Li Qiwei nodded and said: "We can let them increase pressure on the enemy from the flanks and try to rescue the 65th Regiment."

Van Fleet pondered for a moment, and then said: "Since we have reached an agreement, I think this is what we will do."

Li Qiwei nodded and said, "Senior, you are now the commander of the Eighth Army. It is up to you to issue this order."

Fanfleet nodded, and then ordered people to convey the order.

The order was relayed to Brody's command.

Brody read the telegram carefully, couldn't help but laugh, and cursed: "This slutty Harris, you are here too!"

"When I asked you to come to rescue Camp Gloucester, you refused in every possible way. Are you embarrassed to let us rescue you now?"

At this time, an enemy staff officer said: "Division Commander, even though this is true, the headquarters has issued an order, and we cannot openly disobey the order."

"If this is the case, if we sue Harris, Harris will definitely sue us."

Major General Brody sneered and said: "What's the use of suing them? Those M country guys will definitely favor their own people, and our Gloucester Battalion is finished."

"I must avenge this."

At this time, the staff officer said: "Then we have to make it impossible for them to find fault with us."

Brody sneered and said: "The tide has turned, this time it's our turn, aren't we just looking for an excuse?"

"If Harris can find an excuse, can't we find an excuse?"

"Call back to the headquarters immediately and tell them that we will do our best to rescue the US 65th Regiment, so they can rest assured."

"yes sir!"

A staff officer next to him quickly responded, and turned around to convey the order.

Major General Brody frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "Send a telegram to Harris immediately and say that we have received the order from the headquarters and that we are deploying troops to rescue them."

"Ask them to hold on and wait patiently. Our reinforcements will arrive soon."

"And to be on the safe side, I will send a class in advance to try my luck."

"Hahahahahahahaha~~!"

The staff officer asked tentatively: "Is this... just like this?"

Major General Brody said with certainty: "Yes, just send it like this."

Major General Brody's telegram was soon sent to Harris' headquarters.

Colonel Harris angrily tore the telegram into pieces and yelled: "Farke, Brody, this bastard, he must have done it on purpose." (End of Chapter)
