Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 212 Air force cover, infantry and tank coordination!
It has to be said that the enemy's reaction speed was very fast. After Lieutenant Colonel Wright sent a telegram for help, the enemy immediately sent bombers to the front line for support.

However, before this bomber formation could reach the front line, it was intercepted by the Volunteer Air Force, which had been ambushed long ago, in the airspace dozens of kilometers away.

More than twenty MiG-15 fighter jets swooped down from the sky like hunting hawks and pounced fiercely on the enemy planes.

"Dong dong dong~!"

As dull gunshots rang out, the machine guns aimed at the enemy planes and fired fiercely.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

The shells exploded in the air like thunder.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion was heard and a US military plane exploded in mid-air, like a huge firework blooming in the sky.

The enemy aircraft were caught off guard and suffered heavy losses. In just a short while, three planes were shot down and several others were damaged.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy plane quickly turned around and fled in a panic.

How could the brave volunteer pilots miss such a good opportunity and pursue them?

Four more enemy planes were shot down successively, achieving a complete victory in this air battle.

"Report to the commander, we just received news that our bombers were ambushed by enemy planes and suffered heavy losses. They have all returned."

"Fake~!"

Lieutenant Colonel Wright cursed angrily: "These idiots are just a bunch of trash."

"Don't worry, sir. We have already sent fighter jets to provide support."

Lieutenant Colonel Wright said angrily: "My only concern now is when will our air support arrive?"

"It's not clear yet!"

"Waste~!"

"Don't worry, sir. Our army support forces have assembled and are ready to come to support us."

Hearing this, Lieutenant Colonel Wright was obviously relieved and said, "It seems that at the critical moment, the Air Force cannot be relied upon. We have to rely on ourselves."

At this moment, an officer ran over and said in a panic: "Report to the commander, the enemy has launched an attack."

"They dispatched a large number of tanks to directly attack our frontline positions."

"tank?"

"Yes, there are at least dozens of tanks!"

"Fake!"

Lieutenant Colonel Wright was surprised and said: "Where do these beggar-like troops get so many tanks?"

"It's a Soviet tank!"

Lieutenant Colonel Wright said angrily: "Do I need you to remind me of this? I can figure it out with my ass. It must be those bastards supporting their tanks."

"But will their tank units be able to be deployed on a large scale so soon?"

“It’s really hard to imagine!”

"Sir, what should we do now?"

"Why are you panicking?"

Lieutenant Colonel Wright said angrily: "Calm down, everyone. We have been stationed here for a while and have a solid defensive position. What are we afraid of?"

"Besides, the reinforcements will arrive soon. With their strength, it would be wishful thinking for them to break through our defense line."

"Immediately send a message to all companies to hold their positions. Our reinforcements will arrive soon, and victory will surely belong to us."

"Yes sir!"

……

At this moment, the Volunteer Army had launched an all-out offensive. In addition to Li Guotao's Seventh Company, there were several other companies of troops that launched the attack at the same time.

In order to block the enemy's reinforcements, the artillery units began to extend their fire, bombing the roads behind the enemy and preventing the enemy from supporting the front line.

Li Guotao personally led the soldiers of the Seventh Company out of the position, and under the cover of tanks, charged towards the enemy position.

Li Guotao shouted loudly: "Everyone follow the tanks and pay attention to the enemy situation."

"We need to use the tanks' protection to attack, but we also need to ensure the tanks' safety. Once we find an enemy that threatens the tanks' safety, we will immediately do our best to eliminate them."

"Yes!"

"Boom~!"

A cannon shot was heard, and a tank fired at the enemy position, and a flame rose in the distance.

The 34mm tank gun equipped on the T85 tank is also quite powerful.

However, compared with the 1mm tank gun equipped on the 2S-122 heavy tank, it is nothing.

The tanks advanced forward rapidly while continuously firing, and artillery shells and machine gun bullets continued to fall on the enemy positions.

At this moment, the enemy positions had been subjected to a round of fierce artillery bombardment and their fortifications had been basically destroyed.

The unprepared enemies also suffered heavy casualties, but the surviving enemies, after receiving orders, still wanted to fight back.

The only two tanks left on the enemy's position were destroyed by the Volunteer Army's tanks as soon as they appeared, before they could show their powerful strength.

Under the cover of the tanks' powerful firepower, Li Guotao and the soldiers of the Seventh Company successfully approached the enemy's position.

Li Guotao saw the right opportunity and shouted, "Comrades, charge forward and wipe out all the stubborn enemies."

"Kill~!"

Amid the deafening shouts of killing, Li Guotao and the soldiers of the Seventh Company rushed towards the enemy's positions.

The enemies hiding in the trenches immediately fled in all directions.

Li Guotao raised his submachine gun and fired a burst of shots, killing several enemies directly. The other soldiers also began to surround and kill the remaining enemies with all their strength.

Soon the enemy's front-line positions were broken through under the powerful offensive of the Volunteer Army.

Under the cover of tanks, the Seventh Company continued to attack forward.

The troops advanced like a hot knife through butter and soon broke into the enemy camp. Some enemies still wanted to resist, but they were soon wiped out.

This battle was so exciting to fight. The progress was extremely rapid, like cutting tofu with a knife. The enemy had no power to fight back at all.

Li Guotao shouted loudly: "The enemy headquarters is ahead, charge forward and cut off their headquarters."

As he said this, he continued to charge forward with the soldiers of the Seventh Company. A tank company that cooperated in the battle also covered the Seventh Company and headed straight for the enemy's headquarters.

At this moment, on other fronts, the Volunteer Army's attack was also going quite smoothly.

The enemy's defense line was completely breached. Under the cover of tanks, the enemy's two wings flanked and the entire enemy battalion on this side was completely surrounded by the volunteers.

The army commander in charge of the frontline command was also very excited at this moment, and shouted loudly: "Send a message to all the troops on the front line, make sure to annihilate this American battalion, and don't let a single enemy escape."

"And it must be resolved quickly."

"Yes!"

"Report to the commander, the enemy's reinforcements are on the way."

The commander said with a serious face: "Carry out the blocking according to the original plan. Make sure to stop their support troops."

"Make sure the attacking force eats up this American battalion."

"Yes!"

At this moment, this experienced commander was also very excited. After fighting for so many years, this was the first time he commanded a battle like this. His excitement was beyond words.
