The Bright Sword of Changjin Lake becomes stronger

Chapter 222 The United Nations Army’s roundabout interlude!

Half an hour later, Wu Qianli led the soldiers of the Gang 645th Regiment to highland [-].

The soldiers of the Gang [-]th Regiment began to build fortifications on the top of the mountain. Although they knew that these fortifications might be destroyed by artillery fire, they still had to build them.

Wu Qianli took Yu Congrong and others to the north side of the mountain. Several people walked carefully on the hillside and observed the surrounding situation.

Wu Qianli soon determined the locations of several tunnel entrances, and then ordered Yu Congrong: "Take the people and start digging the tunnels immediately!"

"Remember to seize the time as soon as possible to connect all the tunnels together."

"And the deeper the tunnel is dug, the better, do you understand?"

Yu Congrong promised firmly: "Don't worry, we have experience in this job."

Wu Qianli reached out and patted Yu Congrong's shoulder and said, "Hurry up and try to dig all the tunnels before dawn."

"Yes!"

Yu Congrong vowed: "I promise to complete the mission."

The Gangqi Regiment was also relatively good at digging tunnels. The soldiers followed the order and went all out to dig tunnels, because everyone knew that these tunnels were their life insurance.

……

At the same time, within the United Nations Command

Li Qiwei shouted excitedly: "Old man, you are still awesome. These hateful Chinese troops will definitely not be able to escape now."

Van Fleet smiled and said: "I said before, you don't have to worry at all."

"In the previous battle, we did suffer a lot of losses, but this time we will get it back from them with profit."

"Based on the current situation, your judgment is extremely correct."

"They can only maintain the offensive for about a week, and it will not last more than ten days at most."

"The previous battles have exhausted all their ammunition and food."

"And the timing of our counterattack was just right. They didn't even have time to organize an effective line of defense, and we broke through several important passes."

"And I sent out several elite troops to quickly penetrate their rear to cut off their retreat. This resulted in the enemy being unable to form an effective blocking line, and eventually fell into the current passive retreat situation. .”

Van Fleet said and walked to the sand table, pointed at the sand table and continued: "So far, several Chinese army units have been surrounded by us."

"Next we will concentrate our forces to deal with these Chinese troops in the encirclement."

"If everything goes well, we can destroy these Chinese troops, at least tens of thousands of Chinese troops, thus severely damaging their main force."

"In this case, the next battle will be easier to fight."

"We can absolutely take advantage of the victory and completely defeat them, thereby completely winning the Korean War."

Li Qi smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Very good, I didn't expect your tactic to be so efficient."

Van Fleet said: "Speaking of which, I learned this from the Chinese."

"I have studied several previous battles. The reason why we were defeated was because we did not know enough about the Chinese army and were careless."

"The roundabout tactics of the Chinese army have also caused us a lot of trouble."

"It is precisely because of their tactics that disrupted our deployment and led to our army's disastrous defeats again and again."

"I was thinking at the time that we can use the same tactics, and we have a large number of heavily armed troops, air superiority, and even airborne troops. We are fully mechanized troops, and our marching speed is much faster than them. "

"If we adopt this tactic, we will definitely be much better than them, and it will definitely be very effective."

“This time I had a try mentality, but I didn’t expect this method to be so effective.”

"Perhaps the Chinese army never dreamed that we would use such tactics, so they were unprepared and our intersecting troops progressed so smoothly."

"But anyway, we succeeded."

Li Qiwei stared at the sand table in front of him excitedly and said with a smile: "Great, this is simply art!"

"Now many of the main forces of the Chinese army have been divided and surrounded by us. If nothing else, as long as we kill them, we will have made a great contribution."

"I can already feel the goddess of victory waving to us."

Van Fleet said with a smile: "The Chinese army thought this battle was over, but for us, it has just begun."

"Our counterattack has just begun. Now it's time for these farmers to see what true modern warfare is."

Li Qi smiled and said: "I believe that under your command, we will definitely achieve the most glorious victory."

Van Fleet pointed to the sand table and said: "However, not all progress is going smoothly in all directions. In some areas, our offensive has also been blocked and destroyed."

Van Fleet said and pointed on the sand table.

Li Qiwei waved his hand and said: "Those are no longer relevant. Let's deal with the Chinese troops who are divided and surrounded by us first."

"As long as we kill them, we can completely break through their defenses."

"Even at that time, there are still some Chinese troops who are stubbornly resisting to the end. We can also outflank them and defeat them completely."

"So the current situation is quite favorable to us. We are now confident of victory."

Van Fleet nodded and said: "What the general said is absolutely true. With your full support, I can completely let go and fight the Chinese army."

Li Qiwei quickly promised: "Hahaha, feel free to go and destroy these hateful Chinese troops."

"I will fully support you, and you don't have to worry about your superiors. Whatever you need, I will do my best to help you solve it."

"My task now is to do my best to solve your logistical problems."

"So no matter what problem you have, just raise it. As long as I can solve it, I will do my best to solve it. If I can't solve it, I will try my best to help you solve it."

Van Fleet said with a grateful face: "With your words, I feel more at ease."

"As long as we have enough weapons and ammunition, we can guarantee victory in this battle."

"Haha~!"

Li Qiwei laughed and said: "This is too simple, just don't worry, we are short of everything, except weapons and ammunition. "

"I will do my best to ensure the supply of your weapons and ammunition, so in this regard, you can rest assured."

Van Fleet smiled and nodded, and said: "In this case, it won't take long for us to kill these Chinese troops who are surrounded."

Li Qi smiled and said: "I still said the same thing. Now I will fully cooperate with you. There is only one purpose, and that is to eliminate these surrounded Chinese troops as soon as possible."

"I'm waiting for you to bring me more good news."

Van Fleet said with a smile: "I believe the General will not keep you waiting for too long."

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

Wu Qianli and his soldiers worked hard all night, digging tunnels.

A defensive position was also built on the top of the mountain, but even so, at dawn, the soldiers did not rest and continued digging.

Because once the US military launches a large-scale offensive and indiscriminately bombs the entire mountain, it will still be unsafe if the tunnel is dug too shallow, so the deeper the better, the better. Because the US military occupies air superiority and has powerful firepower, this is a helpless move.

"Are all the phone lines connected?"

Wu Wanli ran over quickly and said, "Brother, the phone line has been connected."

Wu Qianli nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Let me tell you, when it's dawn, don't run around outside unless there are special circumstances."

"Yes~!"

Wu Wanli responded quickly, turned around and ran to convey the order.

Wu Qianli walked towards the cave. The temporary headquarters had been dug. It was deep enough, safe, and could accommodate several people.

Yu Congrong approached Wu Qianli and said, "Commander, do you think this is okay?"

Wu Qianli said with a serious face: "No, keep digging. The deeper you dig, the better. The deeper you dig, the safer it will be."

"When the soldiers are tired, they can take turns to rest, but they cannot stop."

"Yes!"

Yu Congrong responded helplessly.

Wu Qianli placed a nearby topographic map on the cave wall, illuminated it with a flashlight, and looked at it carefully for a while.

Yu Congrong came over to take a look and said, "We have so many soldiers lined up in a row. On such a long defense line, with brother troops sharing the pressure, it seems that this battle will not be difficult to fight."

Wu Qianli said: "No matter when, you can't be careless."

"Our position is still very important and will definitely become one of the focuses of the American devils' attack."

"So the battle will begin soon."

"After daybreak, the American devils will surely pursue us quickly and should be here soon."

"But I sent Lei Gong and they laid some mines along the way to stop the US military."

"I just don't know how long these mines can delay them."

Yu Congrong said with a smile: "I hope we can delay them for a while."

Wu Qianli continued: "The main force has retreated north. We only need to hold on until dark, and then we can retreat."

"So although this task is arduous, it's not that difficult. It only takes one day, right? There should be no problem at all."

Sure enough, it didn't take long for US military planes to bomb.

Dozens of planes bombarded several nearby mountains indiscriminately.

Violent explosions continued to sound, and the mountain instantly turned into a sea of ​​​​fire.

Wu Qianli approached the entrance of the cave, looked out, and saw that the top of the mountain had been engulfed in a sea of ​​fire.

Wu Qianli couldn't help but cursed: "These guys haven't arrived yet! The bomb arrived first."

"So damn rich!"

However, the US military only bombed this time and did not bomb again until [-]:[-] in the morning.

But at this moment, a large number of United Nations infantry troops have arrived in the nearby area.

After the vanguard force was blocked by our army, the enemy's main force immediately deployed on the spot and began to prepare for battle.

In the US military headquarters, Brigadier General Myron stared at the map in front of him and said: "The command given to us by the headquarters is to continue to advance north, but now we are blocked by the Chinese army here."

A US military staff officer next to him said: "According to my judgment, the enemy should be completely defeated. They have been surrounded and they just want to escape for their lives. The force that stayed to stop us is a force that has broken off the rear." .”

"I don't think their morale will be too high. After all, this is a battle that obviously involves death."

"As long as we launch an attack, we should be able to defeat them quickly."

Brigadier General Myron frowned and said: "Don't underestimate our enemies. We must go all out to launch an attack and strive to completely defeat them."

"Open a breakthrough here as soon as possible, continue to pursue northward, and annihilate them all in this area."

At this time, a US military staff officer said: "They must have escaped now."

Brigadier General Myron waved his hand and said: "No, during the day, our planes were bombing continuously, which seriously delayed their march, so during the day, they would hide, and at night they would make an all-out breakthrough. of."

"According to previous intelligence, China's troops should be here, and here, in this front-line area."

"So if we break through their defenses as soon as possible, we can still catch up with them in time. Once we catch up with them, they will have nowhere to escape."

Brigadier General Myron's words quickly deceived these people. Brigadier General Myron continued: "So what we have to do now is to launch an attack with all our strength."

"The artillery is ready to provide us with artillery support."

"We also have a large number of heavy tank troops, which can completely defeat the enemy's blockade."

"Immediately order all the troops to deploy on the spot and launch an attack. No matter what, open a hole for me as soon as possible and completely defeat them."

"We need time now and can't waste any more of our precious time."

"yes sir!"

The U.S. military officers present responded in unison.

Under the order of Brigadier General Myron, the troops immediately launched a fierce attack on the blocking position of the Gang [-]th Regiment.

"Report to the leader, the American devils have launched an attack."

"How many troops were dispatched?"

"A tank platoon, four tanks in total, and an infantry platoon."

Wu Qianli sneered and said: "Such a small force is obviously just their exploratory attack."

"Inform Yu Congrong to beat them to death, repel them as soon as possible, and then quickly hide in the tunnel to avoid the artillery fire."

"Yes!"

Under the leadership of Yu Congrong, the soldiers concentrated their firepower and beat the American infantry.

Countless bullets roared through the bodies of the American soldiers, and bright red blood flowers bloomed.

At the same time, several bazookas were set up, and the explosions of rockets completely enveloped the thin U.S. military formation.

In less than three minutes, more than thirty enemies were killed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the remaining American soldiers were so frightened that they fled back.

Yu Congrong did not waste any time and led the soldiers to quickly withdraw from the position and retreat directly into the tunnel.

Then one shell after another continued to fall on the position on the hilltop, with violent explosions, and the entire hilltop position was completely immersed in artillery fire.
