Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Wu Qianli and others far away in the mountains tensed up when they heard the dense gunshots, but they couldn't see anything because of the obstruction of the fire.

Fortunately, the gunfire stopped soon, and everyone was relieved, knowing that Qiao Lin and the others had settled the battle.

"The fire is still burning!"

Qiao Lin took a few steps forward, and a wave of heat immediately penetrated his clothes, and the scorching sensation made him retreat to his original position.

"Platoon leader, what should we do?"

Huang Dachuan leaned over and asked.

He had just led people to scout around, and found no enemies.

"Seeing that the fire will burn for a while, let's go up the mountain first and wait until the fire is out."

Qiao Lin didn't have any better solution. He originally wanted to go down the mountain to check the situation, but the fire was too big for people to get close to. He had to go back first and wait for the fire to subside.

"gather!"

Huang Dachuan roared at the top of his voice, and the reconnaissance platoon immediately moved closer and returned the same way.

Wu Qianli and the others who were waiting anxiously on the mountain saw that Qiao Lin and the others had returned safely, and their hearts finally returned to their stomachs.

"How about it?"

As soon as they met, Wu Qianli couldn't wait to ask.

"It's hard to say, the fire is too big to get in, and only wiped out the remaining enemies on the periphery."

Qiao Lin took off his hood and looked a bit disappointed. He had no idea what was going on in the courtyard.

"It shouldn't be a problem, the fire is so big, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out either!"

Wu Qianli didn't feel depressed at all. In his opinion, with such a big fire, even iron would have to be burned, and the enemy soldiers inside would have to be burned to death even if they weren't killed by the blast.

"That's not what I'm worried about!"

Qiao Lin shook his head. Even if there were still survivors in the enemy army at the foot of the mountain, they might not have much fighting power. Whether they were dead or alive, they would not pose any threat to the Dark Blade.

"You mean the other enemy troops?"

Wu Qianli was startled, and soon realized what Qiao Lin was worried about.

"Yes, the explosion was too loud. It is estimated that the surrounding enemy troops already know that something happened here. I don't know how many enemies will come to reinforce here. I took people down just now to get some ammunition, but There's too much fire."

Qiao Lin still had some regrets. He knew that the real test was about to begin, and what Dark Blade would face next was likely to be an unprecedented predicament.

Taking out the enemy headquarters relied on surprise and tactical coordination, as well as the wrong command of the enemy commander Smith.

The annihilation of Johnson's troops who came for reinforcements still relied on surprise and the artillery shells arranged in the compound in advance.

These two victories more or less had some elements of luck, but now, the compound has been destroyed and the shells have been blown up.

If another enemy came, Dark Blade would have no advantage other than the forest where he was hiding.

The 72 hours required by the system have not even reached ten hours, so how can I continue to persist.

"Soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth, Qiao Lin, you have done a good job. A company of troops wiped out two enemy regiments in one day. Such a record is brilliant enough anywhere. We are all soldiers. Isn't it the best destination to die on the battlefield?"

Wu Qianli patted Qiao Lin on the shoulder, hoping that he would not bear such a great pressure.

Qiao Lin nodded silently. He was not afraid of death, but he didn't want to die here, let alone the entire Dark Blade.

In order to better deal with the crisis that may erupt at any time, Qiao Lin and Wu Qianli discussed it and decided to let the soldiers take the time to rest and recover their strength.

Under Qiao Lin's arrangement, the reconnaissance platoon took turns in three shifts, the guard squad and the sniper squad took turns guarding the prisoners, and the others entered the tunnels and caves to rest.

It has been a full seven days since we set off from Dayu Cave. The soldiers have hardly slept at all. They are already exhausted and rely on willpower to persevere.

Although there were no quilts, the caves and tunnels effectively blocked the cold wind. Three or five people leaned together and soon fell into a drowsy sleep.

Compared with the Dark Blade fighters, the prisoners of the Mi Army did not feel sleepy at all, and everyone was racking their brains thinking about how to get out of here.

The explosion that sounded from the bottom of the mountain gave them a glimmer of hope. They thought it was the army who had sent someone to rescue them.

This made them realize that if they want to regain their freedom, they can only rely on themselves.

When it was discovered that there were only a dozen volunteers in charge of guarding, a few courageous captives had already started to act.

Although their hands were tied, they were all professional military trained people, and these rice army soldiers naturally knew how to get rid of this restraint.

There is nothing else in the forest, but it is easy to find an angular stone.

After groping the ground for a while with the hands of several rice army soldiers, they quickly found what they needed.

Hundreds of captives squatted or sat crowded together, and they were all heads as far as the eye could see. Coupled with the cover of night, it was impossible to detect the small movements of their hands.

The rope was hemp rope, finger-thick, and not strong. Although it was not realistic to break it with brute force, after rubbing it back and forth with the edges and corners of the stone a few times, it began to break.

In less than 10 minutes, several rice army soldiers had already cut the ropes on their hands, but they did not dare to act rashly. They still kept their hands tied and moved slowly towards the edge calmly.

After an unknown amount of time, several figures suddenly sprang up from the captive team and ran towards the direction down the mountain.

Immediately, several gunshots were fired, and after a while, those prisoners of the Mi army who did not understand what happened saw a scene that made them terrified, and those prisoners who were trying to escape were dragged back.

It's just that he was agile when he ran, but he turned into a corpse when he came back.

If they knew the daily training methods of the guards in charge, they probably wouldn't have the idea of ​​running away.

In Dayu Cave, the security squad had a training program different from other squads, monitoring ants.

Qiao Lin would sprinkle a few pieces of dry food on the training ground to attract ants that came out for food. When there were more and more ants, he would draw a circle on the ground to surround these ants.

Then let the soldiers of the security squad squat on the ground to monitor these ants, and not let an ant crawl out of the circle.

It takes a few hours to look at it every day, which also makes the soldiers in the security class have sharp eyes.

Chapter 92 Late News

As long as they glanced over, the specific location of each of these hundreds of captives was known.

This is not because of how good their memory is, but because the training method of monitoring ants has allowed them to develop an instinctive response to target positioning, and as long as there is a change, they will be detected immediately.

Wanting to escape under the noses of the soldiers in the security squad is no less than a dream.

This is also the purpose of Qiaolin's special arrangement of the guard squad to guard the prisoners. In addition, he also arranged for the sniper squad.

There are [-] people in two squads, and they are divided into two groups to take turns guarding. The guard squad is responsible for marking people, and the sniper squad is responsible for killing people.

Of course, all the captives didn't know that, driven by the desire to survive, there would be a few desperate guys trying to escape every once in a while.

But every time the corpses were dragged back after the gunshots, until three o'clock in the middle of the night, there were no less than [-] corpses of Mi Jun dragged back, and the group of prisoners completely calmed down, and they never dared to escape again. thought.

The gunshots that sounded from time to time seriously disturbed the sleep of the soldiers. Almost every gunshot made everyone rush out holding their guns reflexively.

Qiao Lin was always in a state of half-dream and half-awake. He remembered that he had a lot of dreams, but he couldn't remember any of them.

Qiao Lin, who fell asleep again, moved his ears, sat up suddenly, grabbed the gun next to him, and got out of the cave.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoshan, who was in charge of the peripheral investigation, also returned to the camp, and happened to bump into Qiao Lin who was looking down the mountain.

"Instructor, there are enemy reinforcements on the east and west sides!"

Zhang Xiaoshan immediately stepped forward to report the intelligence from the investigation.

"Continue to investigate, find out the enemy's strength and equipment, and don't expose the target!"

Qiao Lin nodded. He vaguely heard the movement of large mechanical equipment, but he didn't know exactly how many people came. The only thing that was certain was that the enemies who came this time were only stronger than Johnson's in the afternoon.

The fire at the bottom of the mountain had already begun to go out, leaving only a few fires still struggling to support, Qiao Lin stared at those few shining points and fell into deep thought.

Originally, the first line of defense encountered a sudden full-scale attack by the Volunteers, which was enough to cause headaches for the Mi Army, but shortly after the battle broke out, the peripheral troops could not get in touch with the headquarters.

In desperation, Jack, the commander of the [-]rd Division of the Mi Army, and Tom, the commander of the [-]th Division, decided to advance the second line of defense by five kilometers after discussing over the phone to deal with the volunteers who might break through the first line of defense at any time.

However, when the two sides were fighting in full swing on the first line of defense, Jack and Tom were still unable to get in touch with the headquarters, and the phone was still unavailable.

Originally, the U.S. troops in the Changjin Lake area had been stationed in a defensive state, and all units were in contact with each other by telephone. As a last resort, they had to activate the radio call mode and asked the headquarters over and over again for the next action.

Little did they know, the headquarters at this time was already piled up with corpses, and even their commander, Smith, had become a prisoner.

Compared with the entire battlefield on the peninsula, the area of ​​the Changjin Lake area is really insignificant, and the internal hierarchy of the Mi Army is strict. Unless there are special circumstances, it is not allowed to report the situation by leapfrogging.

This rule directly caused Tom and Jack to stay in the headquarters of each division and worry, praying that Smith would reply quickly, but they were unable to report the abnormalities in the Changjin Lake area to the Eastern Front Command.

Until the afternoon, Jack thought that he could no longer wait foolishly, so he ordered the Sixth Regiment of the Third Division to withdraw to the south and return to Wulaoli headquarters to check the situation. Johnson, the head of the Sixth Regiment, is a burden.

Johnson's incompetence is well known to the entire army. Jack has proposed to his superiors several times to transfer him back to the country, but he has no choice but to be appointed as the commander of the Fifth Army. Johnson's uncle, Pompeo, pressed him back.

The reason is simple. Johnson's parents had only two brothers, and his father, Johnson Sr., was sent into the sea to feed sharks on the Pacific battlefield.

Pompeo has no children under his knees and has always regarded Johnson as his own flesh and blood. However, this nephew is too mediocre. He has served in the army for 15 years and has not learned anything except for a fat body.

Seeing that he is getting old and will reach the age of retirement in a few years, he is worried that the Johnson family will have no successor, so he uses his power to send this nephew to the Peninsula battlefield.

Pompeo's plan is very simple. Let his nephew survive the war safely on the battlefield, give him a few more credits, and let him be promoted to major general after returning home. This can be regarded as paving a smooth road for the whole family and this nephew. .

However, Johnson was so disappointing that he almost became the object of ridicule by everyone in the army.

Jack also seized this opportunity, quickly transferred Johnson out of the defense, and told him to go back to Wu Lao Li.

At first, he knew very well that with a commander like Johnson, the Sixth Regiment would be almost vulnerable if they encountered the volunteers. If the defense line collapsed, the superiors would hold him accountable as the division commander.

Secondly, it can also be used to send a personal favor to Pompeo, saying that he takes good care of his nephew and sent Johnson to a safe place.

The third is to shrink the line of defense. Once the sixth regiment retreats, other troops will naturally fill in the gap. Jack can use this as an excuse to shrink the third division. Correspondingly, the seventh division of the Mi Army must shrink the defense line. The extension also means that they will bear a greater blow.

Since the end of World War II, the [-]rd and [-]th Divisions of the Mi Army have been fighting each other, and Jack also wants to take this opportunity to weaken the [-]th Division.

Transferring troops back to aid, this move kills three birds with one stone also made Jack very proud.

But what he didn't expect was that although the plan was good, it used the wrong person.

Before dark, Jack's Third Division headquarters did not receive any news from Johnson.

Although he felt uneasy in his heart, Jack kept comforting himself that Johnson was usually unreliable, and he might have forgotten to report the situation.

Not long after, the successive explosions from Wulaoli made Jack realize that it was not that Johnson forgot to report, but that he could no longer report.

Headquarters under attack!

The news was not noticed by Mi Jun until [-] hours later.

After getting in touch with the Eastern Front Command of the Mi Army and reporting the situation in the Changjin Lake area, Jack and Tom were scolded bloody by the commander of the Tenth Army of the Mi Army, Whipson.

However, since the battle between the two sides has already started, the first line of defense of the Mi Army in the Changjin Lake area not only stopped the volunteers, but also stopped the Mi Army who wanted to come for reinforcements.
