Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 17 Bloody battle!
Meisheng said seriously: "This is our first direct confrontation with the US military. As an instructor, I should be present."

"Besides, I know a little English, which might be useful to me."

Although they had encountered an enemy reconnaissance team before, they were puppet troops, but this time they were facing the U.S. military, so this was the first head-on confrontation between the Seventh Company and the U.S. military.

"All right!"

Wu Qianli finally agreed to Mei Sheng's request and said, "Lei Gong, you and Changgui take the troops to bypass and continue to rush to Dayudong. After we finish our business here, we will catch up with you as soon as possible."

He Changgui is the deputy company commander of the seventh company.

"it is good!"

Lei Gong responded and turned and left.

After a while, Yu Congrong, Pinghe, Li Guotao and others rushed over.

Wu Qianli put down the telescope, pointed to a nearby hill and said, "Pinghe, Li Guotao, you two rush to the hill over there, choose a location to build a sniper position, provide us with long-range cover, and then allocate a machine gun to you."

"Third brother! Take your mortars and set up positions on the hill over there."

"Yes!"

A few people responded and then left cautiously.

Wu Qianli continued, "Instructor, Yu Congrong will take the remaining people from the platoon and come with me to support the friendly forces."

"Yes!"

"set off!"

Wu Qianli said this as he rushed out with his submachine gun in hand, crouching low. The other dozens of soldiers followed Wu Qianli, carefully going down the mountain, and then moved towards the hill where the battle was taking place.

Li Guotao, Pinghe and others carefully climbed up the hill next to them.

This hill is only a hundred meters away from the opposite hill where the battle is taking place.

On the hillside, two volunteer soldiers were lying, having died heroically, and there was a mortar lying on the ground next to them.

Apparently, the friendly forces on the opposite side also set up an artillery position here, but unfortunately, it was blown up by the American troops on the opposite side, and two artillerymen died heroically.

The third brother and two soldiers crawled over carefully and dragged back the mortar and ammunition boxes.

The three of them then chose another location and built an artillery position.

The machine gunner also set up a machine gun position in an advantageous position on the top of the mountain.

There is a thatched shed on the top of the mountain, connected to the top of the opposite mountain by a steel cable. It turns out there is a mine on the mountain, and this steel cable car is used to transport ore.

Li Guotao glanced at the cable car, smiled slightly, and said, "This thing can be used."

Pinghe observed the situation on the opposite side. On the opposite hill, the cable car shed had been converted into a machine gun position by the enemy, and there were several enemy soldiers guarding inside.

The 12.7mm heavy machine gun roared from time to time and fired strings of bullets at the volunteer soldiers rushing up.

Pinghe immediately understood Li Guotao's intention and turned around to say a few words to Zhang Xiaoshan who was following behind him.

Afterwards, Li Guotao and Pinghe each chose a favorable position, raised their guns and prepared for battle.

The battle on the other side became more brutal.

The enemy's firepower was too strong, and bullets were fired at the soldiers like they were free.

There was also a tank blocking the intersection, with its machine gun continuously firing. The tank's cannon also roared from time to time, firing shells at where the soldiers were hiding.

Under the enemy's powerful firepower, the attacking volunteer soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion was heard, and a soldier was blown to the ground. His legs were blown into a bloody mess and blood kept gushing out.

The soldier covered his legs that were blown off and couldn't help but scream.

Company commander Ji Chungeng cursed, then ran over with his back bent, dragging the wounded man with both hands and quickly retreated.

"Da da da~!"

Intensive gunfire rang out, and a string of hot bullets swept over. Fortunately, there was a broken wall blocking the bullets. The bullets hit nearby, splashing up pieces of dust. Ji Chungeng dragged the wounded to a safe place, quickly took out the first aid kit, and stopped the bleeding for the wounded.

"Brother! You must hold on!"

The wounded endured the severe pain and covered the wound with his hands to stop the bleeding.

"Leave me alone! Kill these bastards!"

Ji Chungeng gritted his teeth, turned around and left, came to a corner of the wall nearby, raised his submachine gun and aimed at the enemy in the distance.

"What a bastard, I will fight with you!"

"Da da da~!"

Intensive gunfire rang out, and a string of hot bullets flew quickly towards the enemy in the distance.

"Puff puff puff~!"

The bullets hit the enemy, blood splattered immediately. The two foreigners groaned, fell to the ground with their heads raised, and died on the spot.

However, the Japanese machine gun soon swept towards this side, and Ji Chungeng reacted quickly and hid behind the wall.

A string of bullets whizzed past, and Ji Chungeng could even feel a heat wave coming.

"Damn it~!"

Ji Chungeng cursed and could only walk around.

At this time, a soldier shouted: "Captain, the enemy's firepower is too strong."

"All the Demomen are dead!"

Ji Chungeng gnashed his teeth in anger and shouted, "Brothers, fight these foreign devils to the death. You must complete the mission for me even if you die."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded loudly.

Faced with a powerful enemy, the brave soldiers showed no fear, and no one retreated even a single step.

However, the enemy's firepower was fierce and they occupied the advantageous terrain, so the soldiers could not rush forward at all.

The soldiers who rushed forward fell one after another on the way.

Some were even shot into pieces by the enemy's powerful heavy machine guns, with flesh and blood flying all over the battlefield, and not even a complete body was left.

The blood gradually dyed this unknown hill red.

Ji Chungeng observed secretly for a while, then took out a grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it out.

The grenade hissed, emitting black smoke, and landed in an enemy circular fortification.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion sounded, and three enemies were blown to the ground.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ji Chungeng suddenly flashed out and fired at the enemy.

"Da da da~!"

The submachine gun generously delivered a string of bullets to the enemy on the opposite side. The two enemies were unable to dodge and were knocked to the ground, killed on the spot.

Ji Chungeng shouted loudly: "Brothers, beat him hard!"

At the same time, Wu Qianli led a row of dozens of soldiers and carefully climbed up the hill from the side and approached the battlefield.

Wu Qianli waved his hand, signaling everyone to prepare for battle.

The soldiers clenched their guns and prepared for the attack.

Several soldiers also took out grenades, ready to throw them at the enemy positions at any time.

Wu Qianli held the osprey whistle in his mouth. When the whistle sounded, it was time to charge.
