The Bright Sword of Changjin Lake becomes stronger

After receiving the telegram from Major General Brody, Colonel Harris cursed angrily: "Brody, this bastard, he must have done it on purpose."

A US military staff officer next to him said: "Try your luck? Isn't this what you told them before?"

Colonel Harris glared at the guy and said angrily: "Are you saying that we brought it upon ourselves?"

The US military staff officer quickly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I definitely didn't mean that."

Colonel Harris didn't bother to care about this and shouted angrily: "There is no use counting on them now. We can only break out on our own."

"Continue to attack me and be sure to take back the three holes for me."

"yes sir!"

A US military officer next to him responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

Colonel Harris also understood that if they wanted to break out now, they could only rely on themselves.

Although several previous attacks had failed, Colonel Harris still did not intend to give up.

Under the order of Colonel Harris, the U.S. military once again gathered its forces and launched a fierce attack on the volunteers in the Samdong-ri area.

A large number of the main U.S. troops screamed and rushed towards the blocking position in front of them.

Wu Qianli hid behind a big rock, looked at the enemies approaching gradually, and said with a serious face: "Everyone, focus all your firepower on me, hit them hard, and knock them down."

"Da da da~!"

Intense gunshots continued to sound, and strings of blazing bullets continued to fly towards the foreign devils.

"Puff puff~!"

The bullet hit the American soldier, making a muffled sound and splashing blood mist.

The screams continued to sound, and the American soldiers who rushed up immediately fell to the ground in pieces.

Under the powerful firepower of the Gangqi Regiment, the attacking enemy suffered heavy casualties and was soon suppressed again.

After a fierce battle, the US military attack was repelled again.

Wu Qianli and the others were not idle, but used all their time to start digging tunnels.

Because he knew very well that the main force could only form an encirclement against the US 65th Regiment now, and it was impossible to capture this enemy force before dawn.

Once dawn comes, United Nations aircraft will definitely launch a new round of attack, and the artillery fire will be even more intense.

Therefore, we must now use all available time to dig some tunnels to prevent large-scale bombing by enemy aircraft during the day.

Wu Qianli ordered: "Comrades, please work harder and dig the tunnel deeper."

"And here, we have to turn a corner and block up several layers of sandbags and stone walls, otherwise bullets can enter directly."

"Yes!"

The soldiers of Gang [-]th Regiment responded loudly.

While Yu Congrong was working, he asked Wu Qianli: "Captain, how is the situation now? The main force should be coming up soon, right?"

Wu Qianli shook his head and said: "I'm not sure exactly, but I hear the noise is getting closer. It should be the main force of the first attack group, all coming to support us."

Yu Congrong grinned and said, "Okay! Damn it, this US 65 group can't run away."

Wu Qianli raised his head and glanced into the distance and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely not be able to escape this time."

……

Volunteer Army Headquarters.

The boss quickly walked to the sand table and asked, "How is the situation?"

Chief of Staff Xie pointed to the sand table and said: "The US 65th Regiment was blocked by us near Sandongli. The follow-up troops are speeding up and have gradually formed an encirclement of this enemy."

The boss said excitedly: "Well done, concentrate your troops on me and try to kill this US 65th Regiment for me."

"Yes!"

Chief of Staff Xie responded quickly, and then said: "It's just that we have been fighting for so long, the troops are exhausted, and there is also a shortage of ammunition supplies."

"If the fight continues, the logistics will not be guaranteed."

The boss sighed helplessly and said: "Logistics is still our biggest problem. How is Lao Hong's logistics headquarters prepared?"

Chief of Staff Xie said: "It has been prepared, but this logistics command has just been established. It cannot solve our current predicament yet."

The boss stared at the sand table and said with a serious face: "This US 65 group is already meat in our mouths. We must eat them no matter what."

Chief of Staff Xie said: "We will definitely go all out, but this enemy is the US military. They are surrounded and may be surrounded and annihilated at any time, so the enemy will definitely not stand idly by."

"I guess they must send troops to support in an attempt to rescue the US 65th Regiment."

"So trying to kill them is like pulling out a tooth from a tiger's mouth. I'm afraid this battle will be difficult to win."

The boss pondered for a moment and said, "I know what you mean, the time left for us is getting less and less."

"Tonight, we can launch an attack and concentrate all our efforts on attacking the US 65th Regiment, trying to defeat and eliminate them."

"But we only have one day. After one day, regardless of success or failure, we must stop the attack and retreat to a safe area."

"And tonight, in addition to launching a fierce attack on the US 65th Regiment, the offensive in other directions can be suspended or completely stopped based on the actual situation and prepare to retreat."

"We want to establish a solid line of defense, so we can only retreat temporarily, choose a suitable place, block the enemy's counterattack, and establish a solid line of defense."

Chief of Staff Xie nodded and said: "Judging from the current situation, this is the only way to go."

That night, with the cooperation of the Gang 65th Regiment, the main force quickly formed an encirclement against the U.S. [-]th Regiment.

After several failed breakouts, Colonel Harris finally had no choice but to wait until daybreak before breaking out.

After all, they can get more support after dawn.

But Colonel Harris never dreamed that he wasted these few hours, which ultimately cost them their last hope of escape.

The volunteers have surrounded the US 65th Regiment. With the support of the main force, although the US military stormed Sandongli, they were still unable to capture Sandongli.

Even the last small road was completely blocked. The main force carefully blocked all the exits of the US 65th Regiment. No matter how hard the enemy struggled to break through, it was of no avail.

At this time, Colonel Harris finally became anxious. He did not want to follow in the footsteps of Camp Gloucester.

Colonel Harris sent a series of rescue telegrams to the United Nations Command, asking the headquarters to find a way to rescue them. Van Fleet reported the situation to Ridgway, and Ridgway couldn't help but frowned and said: "So, it is difficult for the US 65th Regiment to break out?"

Fanfleet nodded and said: "They will never be able to break out on their own, unless there is timely support."

"Some of the troops we have mobilized began to provide support. The British 29th Brigade superficially agreed to rescue, but they did not take any substantive action at all."

Li Qiwei said: "This is understandable. Who made Harris offend them before? Besides, the British 29th Brigade did suffer a lot of losses in the previous battle. Brody was also frightened by them, which made him even more scared. Don’t dare to take any chances.”

Li Qiwei was not a fool, and he saw through Brody immediately.

Van Fleet said: "But as long as the 65th Regiment can hold on for a while, everything will turn around."

"We have begun to arrange a counterattack against the enemy. As long as they persist for a while, we may take the opportunity to annihilate the Chinese army besieging the 65th Regiment."

"You should know that these Chinese troops are also extremely cunning. I am now worried that they will escape too fast and we may not be able to annihilate them."

"And now they are definitely not willing to give up the fat in their mouths, and they will definitely attack the 65th Regiment with all their strength, so our opportunity has come."

"As long as we can seize this opportunity, we may take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the enemy that besieged the 65th Regiment."

Li Qiwei nodded and said: "Your idea is good, it can even be said to be a big gamble, but can Harris withstand it?"

Van Fleet said with a serious face: "If you can't bear it, you have to bear it. They have no other choice."

Li Qiwei said: "Then give them a death order. They must defend it no matter what, and resist the attack of the Chinese army."

The order was issued to Harris' headquarters. At this time, Colonel Harris was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

After reading the telegram, Colonel Harris was even more dumbfounded.

"Is this asking us to stand by and wait for help?"

The staff officer next to him explained: "What the headquarters means is this. We can't break out. They are mobilizing troops to prepare to rescue us."

"For the time being, we can only wait for help."

"Fake~!"

Colonel Harris couldn't help but scolded: "But the problem is, we don't know when these rescues will arrive? Are we just going to keep waiting like this?"

"After dark, the Chinese army will definitely launch an attack. Will we be able to withstand the enemy's attack then?"

"Once our defenses are defeated by the enemy, we are all finished."

Colonel Harris, an old cunning man, really doesn't feel comfortable leaving his destiny in the hands of others. With this guy's personality, only the destiny that is in his own hands can be called his own.

If you leave it to others, he won't trust anyone.

But now they have been fighting from night to day, and they have used all the methods they should use, but they are still unable to break out, so they can only be trapped here now.

Colonel Harris is now in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Our destiny must be in our own hands."

"Continue to break out! Unless we really can't break out, it's not dark yet, we still have a chance."

"Call air support immediately, continue to organize troops, and launch a new round of attack."

"yes sir!"

Under the order of Colonel Harris, the US military once again launched a fierce attack on our blocking position.

A large number of American soldiers rushed towards the hillside aggressively.

However, what greeted them was a hail of fiery bullets.

Wu Qianli and the others usually hide in the tunnels and continue to dig and improve the tunnels. As long as the US infantry dares to attack, they will rush to the position and beat these idiots hard.

Because Wu Qianli and the system were there, Gangqi Regiment never lacked weapons and ammunition.

The U.S. military was unable to capture the position of the Gang [-]th Regiment at all, and these U.S. troops launched charges one after another.

The battle lasted until evening, with heavy casualties, but we were still unable to conquer our defense line.

This last round of attack finally made Harris give up completely.

He knew that it was really impossible to break out, so he could only order his troops to defend on the spot.

It was getting dark gradually.

Wu Qianli hid in the tunnel, his brows furrowed deeply, and his face looked ugly, not only because of the lack of rest after a long battle.

In addition, the fighting during this period also caused a lot of casualties to the troops.

The US military continued to attack with fierce firepower. Although they occupied favorable terrain, casualties were inevitable.

Seeing his comrades fall one by one in front of him, even if he is really hard-hearted, he cannot remain indifferent.

At this time, Mei Sheng came over and said to Wu Qianli: "Regiment Commander, I have just received instructions. After dark, all units will launch a general offensive and strive to kill this US 65th Regiment as soon as possible."

"However, in view of our continuous fighting, Shiji has instructed us to stay at our position to prevent the US military from breaking out."

Yu Congrong on the side suddenly raised his head, looked at Wu Qianli and said, "Commander! What does the political commissar mean by saying that we will not participate in this attack?"

Mei Sheng glanced at Wu Qianli and answered first: "No way, this is an instruction from the superior."

Wu Qianli gritted his teeth and said, "If we hadn't blocked the 65th Regiment, would they have had a chance to kill these idiots?"

"We have been fighting for so long, and we have lost so many soldiers. We are about to win, and we are about to reap the fruits. Why don't we join the attack? Are they so embarrassed?"

Mei Sheng glanced at Wu Qianli and sighed: "Captain, Lao Yu, I don't want to do this either, but Shisi feels sorry for the casualties of our seventh regiment, so that's why..."

Yu Congrong grasped the butt of Browning's gun tightly and said, "I know, I just want to kill a few more American devils to avenge my dead comrades."

After Wu Qianli was silent for a few seconds, he said: "That's it!"

"We are staying here to prevent the US military from breaking out."

"Only by killing this US 65th regiment can we avenge the soldiers. Otherwise, their death will really be in vain."

After a pause for a few seconds, Wu Qianli added: "Based on the current situation, this US 65th Group must be killed as soon as possible. Once the delay is too long, it will be very detrimental to us."

At this time, Wu Wanli sat next to Wu Qianli and asked: "Brother, do you think we can kill the US 65th Group overnight?"

Wu Qianli's eyes were firm and he said decisively: "It must be possible!" (End of Chapter)
