Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 195 Crisis and opportunity coexist!
Wu Qianli said: "Now that things have come to this, there is nothing to hesitate about. Just fight them."

"I want to see how capable these Canadian troops are. Could they be more powerful than the American ace?"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "The battalion commander is right. We are not afraid of even the 25st Marine Division. How can we be afraid of the th Canadian Brigade?"

Tan Ziwei immediately ordered: "The entire battalion retreats to the deep mountains and old forests to hide and wait for orders, and send out scouts to monitor the enemy's movements."

"Yes!"

Then several people retreated cautiously, and the soldiers of the third battalion also carefully retreated to the farther deep mountains and forests, hiding and waiting for the opportunity.

Not long after, the battle broke out. The 25th Brigade of the Canadian Army advancing northward encountered resistance from the Volunteer Army. Under the cover of enemy aircraft and artillery, they launched a fierce offensive against the Volunteer Army's positions.

The enemy's move was only to curb the Volunteer Army's offensive and prevent the Volunteer Army from taking the opportunity to cut off the M24th Division's retreat. The US 24th Division had suffered heavy losses under the pursuit and interception of the Volunteer Army's main force and was accelerating its retreat to the south.

After the superiors learned of this situation, they also began to adjust their deployment and dispatched troops to support the front line, curb the attack of the Canadian 25th Brigade, and force the enemy to retreat.

Although the soldiers of the Third Battalion were surrounded by the enemy, the enemy attacked along the road. The Third Battalion was hiding in the deep mountains and forests and its strength was not too large, so it was not discovered by the enemy.

The soldiers of the Third Battalion had been traveling all night and had fought a battle in the middle. They were already very sleepy and tired, so they hid in the woods to sleep and recharge their batteries.

Although the fighting on the front line was intense for most of the day, the soldiers of the Third Battalion managed to have a rare good night's sleep.

It was not until about four o'clock in the afternoon that Tan Ziwei gathered all the main cadres of the Third Battalion.

A group of people gathered together. Tan Ziwei pointed to the map and said, "This is our current position. According to the scouts' report, the surrounding area has been occupied by the enemy, and our retreat has been completely cut off."

"It can be said that we are surrounded by heavy enemy forces."

"The superiors have already dispatched troops here and are preparing to launch an attack tonight in an effort to repel the 25th Brigade."

"The division commander ordered our Third Battalion to act according to circumstances and assist the main force in the attack. We must defeat the 15th Brigade at all costs. At the very least, we must repel them and force them to retreat south."

"According to the preliminary information, the 25th Brigade is a fresh force that has been deployed on the second line and has not participated in the previous battles. Therefore, this enemy is also very arrogant. They have been attacking our defense line since this morning, and the battle has never stopped."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "The reason why they are so arrogant is because they have never been beaten!"

"Tonight, let's give them a good beating, and they will behave themselves."

"Haha~!" Tan Ziwei laughed and said, "Li Guotao is right, but the equipment of this Canadian army is still pretty good."

"They have occupied the advantageous terrain near the highway and built fortifications. This battle will not be easy to win. We must be fully prepared and must not underestimate the enemy."

Wu Qianli said: "The biggest advantage of our Third Battalion right now is that the enemy has not discovered us yet. They don't know that there is such a force that has penetrated their stomach."

"So when the battle begins, we can act according to the situation and turn their stomachs upside down. As long as we can disrupt their formation, the enemy will surely be defeated."

Tan Ziwei nodded and said, "Qianli's words make sense."

"Once the battle begins, we will act accordingly."

"Let the soldiers prepare for battle in advance, eat and drink enough, so that they can kill the enemy at night."

"Yes!"

……

That night, the main force launched a fierce attack on the positions of the Canadian 25th Brigade from the front.

The battles started one after another, the loud charge horns resounded throughout the battlefield, and thousands of volunteer soldiers rushed fiercely towards the enemy positions. Faced with the fierce offensive of the volunteers, the enemy could only desperately hold on to their positions, and the battle was extremely fierce.

In the headquarters of the 25th Brigade, Brigadier General Robin Hood stared at the sand table in front of him with a smile on his face.

The officer next to him said cautiously: "Based on the current situation, the enemy in front of us is about one army."

"Hmph~!"

Robin Hood sneered and said, "How many people can they have in one army?"

The officer replied: "About 30,000 to 50,000 people! The exact number of troops cannot be determined yet."

Brigadier General Robin Hood sneered and said, "Although they have a lot of troops, these enemies are poorly equipped with light weapons and lack heavy weapons for attacking."

"As long as we defend our position tightly, they can't do anything to us."

"So as long as we hold our positions and refuse to retreat, they won't be able to pose any threat to us."

"No matter how many troops the enemy has, they will just die in vain."

"Inform all troops that no one is allowed to retreat without authorization. Anyone who violates the order will be severely punished."

"Yes sir!"

Brigadier General Robin Hood picked up a cup of coffee, took a sip leisurely, and then said: "In fact, I am looking forward to their attack, so that we can consume their troops to the greatest extent possible."

"According to the headquarters' plan, we want to wear them down. We now have favorable terrain, so it won't be a problem for us to stop their attack."

As soon as he finished speaking, an enemy officer ran over in a panic and said, "General, the enemy's attack is too fierce, the front line is in urgent need of reinforcements."

Robin Hood's hand trembled and the coffee almost spilled. He put the coffee on the table in anger.

"Fuck, these idiots, this is just the beginning, what are they doing!"

The officer replied: "The enemy rushed towards our position like crazy. They seemed not to be afraid of death. The situation at the front line is indeed not good."

Brigadier General Robin Hood said angrily: "Send the order immediately, send all the troops that can be sent to the front line. No matter what, we must curb their attack."

"Yes sir!"

The officer responded quickly, turned around and ran to convey the order.

At this time, an officer came over and said, "General, the commander sent a telegram asking us to stop the enemy's offensive and hold our position. We must not let the enemy pass."

Brigadier General Robin Hood said seriously: "Call the commander back immediately and tell him that we will definitely hold our position."

"We will never retreat, and the enemy will never get past our defense line."

"Our defense line is very strong and our soldiers are very brave. Let him rest assured."

"Yes sir!"

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of intensive gunfire and explosions outside. Judging from the sound, it was not far from here.

When Brigadier General Robin Hood heard the noise, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly.
