Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 206 Completely cut off the enemy’s retreat!
The enemy patrol was attacked, and soon the US military sent a troop towards Wumazhi.

At this time, the puppet army also learned the news of the fall of Wumazhi.

Liu Zaixing was also horrified and angrily yelled, "These Americans are a bunch of rubbish. We told them before that they had to defend Wumazhi, but not only did they not send troops to guard it, they also drove our people away."

"Now the enemy has seized Wumazhi and our retreat has been cut off by them."

It is no wonder that the Koreans are so angry. Now they are facing the fierce attack of hundreds of thousands of troops from the Volunteer Army and the North Korean Army, and they have been beaten to a pulp.

Liu Zaixing was very clear about the combat effectiveness of his troops. If the trend continued, they would not be able to hold out for long.

Once the troops were defeated and Wumazhi was occupied by the Volunteer Army, they would be in trouble.

A puppet army officer nearby said, "Sir, calm down. There is no point in saying this now."

Liu Zaixing suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth: "Immediately dispatch troops to counterattack Wumazhi. We must recapture Wumazhi for me no matter what."

"Also, send another telegram to Commander Van Fleet immediately, saying that we are being attacked by the main force of the Volunteer Army, not those useless northern rebels."

"We need support, otherwise we won't be able to hold out for long."

"Yes!"

Under Liu Zaixing's order, the puppet army also mobilized a force to attack Wumazhi directly in an attempt to recapture Wumazhi.

However, before the enemy troops from the north and south reached Wumazhi, they were ambushed by the Eighth and Ninth Companies lying in wait beside the highway. The enemy was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

However, these enemies were determined to retake Wumazhi at this moment, so they continued to send troops to support the direction of Wumazhi.

After the troops from the 8th and 9th companies held out for a while, they could no longer hold out and had to retreat temporarily.

Tan Ziwei picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Li Guotao!"

"I am Li Guotao!"

"The enemy's reinforcements are increasing. We can no longer stop them. Now we can only rely on you."

Li Guotao smiled slightly and said, "Please rest assured, Deputy Commander, we will definitely defend Wumazhi. Just let those enemies come."

Tan Ziwei said: "Okay! Then we will withdraw first. We will try our best to contain the enemy on the periphery and help you defend Wumazhi."

Li Guotao assured solemnly: "Please rest assured, Deputy Commander, all the soldiers of our Seventh Company are ready for battle. No matter how many enemies come, they will never be able to take back Wumazhi from us."

"Okay! Report to me anytime if there is any situation."

"Yes!"

Li Guotao put down the walkie-talkie. Yu Congrong came up and asked, "How is it?"

Li Guotao smiled slightly and said, "It's our turn to take action."

"On the main battlefield, the main force is attacking with all its might, and the battle has reached the most critical moment. No matter what, we must defend Wumazhi."

"Hehe~!"

Yu Congrong laughed and said, "Great! Now we can let go and have a good fight with the enemy."

"Speaking of which, we should be grateful to these enemies. The fortifications they built are quite professional."

"It saves them a lot of effort. With these ready-made fortifications and the terrain here, the enemy won't be able to even take a single step towards Wumazhi."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shell fell quickly on the slope of Wumazhi hill with a sharp whistling sound.

"Boom~!" A violent explosion sounded, and a flame rose into the sky.

Li Guotao hid in the trench and shouted loudly: "Avoid the artillery, everyone, hide in the anti-artillery cave."

"Avoid the gun~!"

Yu Congrong no longer had time to show off. He shouted loudly and ran quickly to a nearby anti-artillery hole.

Then, artillery shells continued to fall on the Wumazhi heights, and the enemy's attacking forces gradually approached Wumazhi from the north and southwest.

The US military and the puppet army formed a two-pronged attack on Wumazhi. This time, the US military did not drive away the supporting puppet army.

The two sides immediately contacted each other and prepared to attack Wumazhi from both sides.

After a round of artillery bombardment, under the cover of tanks, the US and puppet troops launched attacks on Wumazhi from two directions respectively.

Li Guotao lay in a trench, observing the situation on the battlefield, and ordered: "Destroy those two tanks first!"

"Yes!"

There were two American tanks, which were very arrogant. They looked directly at the bottom of the mountain and fired fiercely at the volunteer army positions on the mountain.

Yu Congrong and Ye Pinghe each set up a rocket launcher and, under the cover of their comrades' firepower, aimed at the two enemy tanks.

With two loud explosions, both tanks were completely destroyed.

At this time, a large number of American and puppet troops swarmed towards the mountain from the hillsides on both sides.

"Da da da~!"

At the seventh company's position, machine guns were firing at full power, and dense bullets swept towards the enemy like raindrops.

The enemies who rushed up were beaten to pieces one by one.

In just a short while, the hillside was covered with enemy corpses.

Wu Wanli hid in a trench and kept throwing grenades.

Every time, the grenade would land accurately into the enemy crowd. With the loud explosion, the enemies were blown to the ground one by one.

This kid is growing very fast. After several months of battlefield experience, he has quickly grown into a veteran with rich combat experience.

Its best skill, bombing, was also fully utilized at this moment.

Wu Wanli was in a commanding position, throwing grenades far and accurately, making the enemies cry for their parents.

Under the powerful firepower of the Seventh Company, the attacking enemies suffered heavy losses and were defeated.

At this time, the enemies on both sides were blaming each other. The US military angrily scolded the puppet troops as a bunch of trash, saying they were useless and could not help at all.

The puppet troops on the opposite side were also cursing the US troops. If they had not lost Wumazhi, how could they have fallen into such a passive situation? It is not easy to retake Wumazhi now.

However, the puppet army corps headquarters kept sending telegrams to the front line, asking them to recapture Wumazhi at all costs.

Faced with the death order issued by Liu Zaixing, the puppet troops had no choice but to continue organizing the attack.

Li Guotao commanded the soldiers of the Seventh Company, and relying on the favorable terrain, they successively repelled several enemy attacks and annihilated a large number of enemies.

Tan Ziwei and Wu Qianli also led the 8th and 9th companies to harass the enemy from the periphery, tying down the enemy's forces and preventing them from attacking Wumazhi with all their strength.

At the same time, under the fierce offensive of the main force, the three divisions of the puppet army on the front line were defeated one after another.
