Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Li Guotao raised his rifle and aimed at an enemy. The guy had half of his body exposed from the tank, and was holding an anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof, firing at the Volunteer Army positions on the mountain.

Soon the enemy came within the best shooting range, and then Captain Zhu gave the order to counterattack.

There was a burst of gunfire at once, and the soldiers fired desperately at the enemies rushing towards them.

Dense bullets flew towards the enemy like raindrops, and a large number of enemy soldiers rushing up were knocked down in an instant.

Li Guotao pulled the trigger decisively. A crisp gunshot rang out and the hot bullet went straight through his head.

The anti-aircraft machine gun also fell silent instantly, and Li Guotao continued to shoot rapidly. As long as the anti-aircraft machine gunners of the enemy tanks were within the range, they became his priority targets.

As the gunshots rang out, the enemies were shot in the head one after another, and the machine guns fell silent.

Seeing that the enemy's firepower was gradually suppressed, Commander Zhu shouted, "Charge down first and destroy the enemy's tanks."

"Kill~!"

A group of volunteer soldiers rushed towards the enemy tanks fiercely.

Li Guotao also raised his gun and rushed out while shooting. Due to the chaos on the battlefield, some enemies were blocked, so Li Guotao could only get as close as possible and shoot the anti-aircraft machine gunners with all his strength.

At the same time, rockets flew over, and with loud explosions, one tank after another was destroyed by the Super Bazooka.

Major General Kaiser yelled into the walkie-talkie in frustration: "Continue the attack. Kill these damn enemies at all costs."

Under the command of Major General Kaiser, the enemy's infantry rushed forward like crazy.

However, their dense formation made them the best targets.

The Volunteer Army's light and heavy machine guns, as well as the mortars on the reverse slope positions, fired wildly at the crowd.

While Li Guotao was shooting at the enemy machine gunner, he shouted, "Wu Wanli, use incendiary grenades to blow these beasts to death."

Wu Wanli was not polite either. Under the cover of Li Guotao, he rushed forward quickly.

He threw an incendiary grenade, and as soon as the grenade landed on the roof of the tank, a burst of fire rose up. The flames quickly enveloped the entire tank and rushed into the cab through the hatch on the roof, setting all the enemies inside on fire, burning them to a pulp.

I have to say that this guy is a natural shooter, and all of his explosions were airbursts, exploding near the hatch. The high temperature of several thousand degrees, coupled with the white phosphorus that is basically impossible to extinguish once it is contaminated, is enough to burn the enemies in the tank to death.

Wu Qianli and Yu Congrong also rushed up and provided cover from the side.

Mei Sheng was at a position, holding a rocket launcher and continuously shooting at the enemy tanks.

Several people cooperated with each other, and in a short while, they destroyed several tanks.

At this moment, other soldiers also approached the enemy tanks and attacked with anti-tank grenades and incendiary grenades.

There were continuous explosions for a while, and blazing flames soon covered the entire road.

A large number of enemy infantry were also set on fire by incendiary grenades and turned into firemen.

Li Guotao also became more and more courageous as the battle went on. With his flexible body, he kept shuttling back and forth on the battlefield filled with smoke and artillery fire, firing continuously and sending each threatening enemy to hell.

At this time, a group of enemies rushed towards this side. Wu Qianli and Yu Congrong held submachine guns and fired at the enemy crowd.

Li Guotao quickly changed the magazine, raised his gun and killed an enemy soldier in the distance. At this moment, he suddenly saw an enemy officer hiding behind a big rock in the distance, holding a walkie-talkie in his hand, and no one knew what he was saying. While talking, he kept showing his head to observe the situation on the battlefield.

After Li Guotao spotted this guy, he raised his hand and shot without saying a word, hitting the enemy officer right between the eyebrows.

[Ding Dong~! Congratulations on successfully killing an enemy lieutenant colonel, and you will receive a bonus of +1500 points. ]

A crisp system prompt sounded.

It turned out to be an enemy lieutenant colonel, so the shot was worth it.

At this time, the battlefield was in chaos, and the more than 20 tanks that rushed up were basically all destroyed.

The enemy infantry who charged were also killed and wounded, and their bodies covered the entire battlefield.

The soldiers of the Volunteer Army became more and more courageous as the battle went on. Commander Jiang ordered the follow-up troops to continuously reinforce the frontline positions and try their best to defend the positions.

After a fierce battle, the enemy suffered heavy casualties, and the front-line commander was killed by Li Guotao.

The enemy army, having lost its commander, quickly collapsed, leaving behind only corpses and still-burning tanks.

The enemy's fierce offensive was repelled again. In addition to Li Guotao's contribution, we should also thank the puppet Seventh Division.

After the 113th Division captured Tokugawa, it completely wiped out the puppet 113th Division, seized a large number of weapons and equipment, and further strengthened the strength of the th Division.

The 113th Division now has sufficient ammunition, otherwise it would not be easy for such a tired division to stop the enemy's fierce offensive.

The enemy was repelled again, and cheers suddenly rang out on the battlefield.

Li Guotao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and shouted loudly: "Pay attention to avoid the artillery, quickly clean up the battlefield, and hide immediately to avoid the artillery."

After hearing Li Guotao's shout, the soldiers suddenly reacted and began to take action.

They carried all the wounded away and quickly picked up some of the enemy’s weapons and ammunition.

Li Guotao continued to urge: "Hurry back to the anti-artillery fortifications, quick~!"

At the same time, on the enemy's position, Major General Kaiser saw that the attack had failed again, and he was so angry that he threw the telescope in his hand to the ground.

"Fake~!"

"Shit!"

The old guy was so angry that his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. He gnashed his teeth and roared, "Concentrate your firepower immediately and bombard them hard."

"Yes sir!"

Following an order from Major General Kaiser, the enemy once again concentrated its artillery fire and bombarded the positions of the 113th Division.

One after another, artillery shells fell on the position with a sharp whistling sound, and the front line position was once again engulfed in artillery fire.

Fortunately, the volunteer soldiers reacted quickly enough. Although the enemy's retaliatory fire was fierce, the casualties caused to the volunteers were minimal.

Major General Kaiser was so angry that he was about to have a heart attack, but his mind was very clear.

He knew that this was not a solution, and he had no chance of taking down all three schools if he continued attacking.

Major General Kaiser gritted his teeth and said, "Pass the order down, everyone retreat immediately."

"Retreat?"

A colonel nearby couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise and asked, "General, aren't we going to continue the attack?"

Major General Kaiser said angrily: "Attack, daybreak is coming soon. If you continue to attack, are you sure you can defeat them?"

"Don't waste time here, retreat immediately and go to Longyuanli instead." "Report the situation to the commander immediately. Our troops are unable to capture Sansoli. The only way now is to break out from Longyuanli as soon as possible."

"Yes sir!"

Following the order from Major General Kaiser, the US 2nd Division north of Sansoli began to retreat across the board.

"The enemy is retreating!"

"The enemy is retreating!"

After hearing the report, Commander Jiang immediately rushed to the top of a hill, raised his telescope and looked into the distance.

As expected, they saw the enemy in the north retreating across the board. Commander Jiang was a little surprised and asked, "Are they retreating now?"

Li Guotao said: "They must have changed their route to Longyuanli."

Commander Jiang nodded and said, "They knew they couldn't get through, so they got scared and turned back to take the Longyuanli road."

"Fortunately, the 337th Regiment has already rushed to Longyuanli. They should be able to intercept them."

"Send a telegram to the 337th Regiment immediately, asking them to rush to Longyuanli as soon as possible and seize it. We must not let the enemy escape."

"Yes!"

A staff officer nearby responded quickly and turned around to convey the order.

Li Moyin said: "This way, the soldiers can finally take a breath."

"But the pressure in Longyuanli will increase. The 337th Regiment alone may not be able to stop the enemy."

Commander Jiang pondered for a moment, then said, "Let the soldiers rest first, eat and drink enough, and recover some strength, then we will dispatch troops to Longyuanli for support."

Li Moyin nodded and said, "Okay, but our task force will apply to go to Longyuanli."

Commander Jiang said: "Although the enemy has retreated, we cannot give up Sansho and must continue to hold on. You..."

Seeing Li Moyin's determined eyes, Commander Jiang stopped talking halfway, waved his hand helplessly and said, "Forget it, I know I can't persuade you, just go."

"Thank you, Commander Jiang." Li Moyin said with a smile.

Commander Jiang said: "But there is no need to rush for a moment, let's take a rest first."

"The 337th Regiment will hold the fort for a while, so there's no need to worry."

"Let the soldiers rest first, and then we will draw troops from the 339th Regiment to support the 337th Regiment. Only by alternating defenses like this can we hold Longyuanli for a long time."

"So you should also hurry to a safe place to rest. I will notify you when the troops are leaving."

Li Moyin nodded and said, "Okay!"

This time Li Moyin did not refuse and led the task force soldiers to withdraw from the front line.

Li Guotao approached Li Moyin and said, "Captain, the casualties among the soldiers this time are not small. There are only about 30 combatants left in our task force."

When Li Moyin heard this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. After all, these people in the task force were all combat backbones and combat heroes, and each of them was a treasure.

But the battlefield was too cruel. Even for these veterans who had survived hundreds of battles, they were in great danger in such a brutal battle, and casualties were inevitable.

Li Moyin held back tears and said, "Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains. The martyrs who died are buried here. With them guarding here, we will definitely be able to keep the enemy out of the country forever."

Li Guotao also understood that given the current situation, with the huge casualties on the front line, it was impossible to transport the fallen martyrs back to the country for burial, and there was no other way to bury them on the spot.

Moreover, due to the urgent war situation, the remains of many martyrs could only be hastily buried.

Most of these relatively good ones within the Northern Dynasties will be moved to the martyrs' cemetery to be built in the future.

Many of the martyrs who died in South Korea have been lost in the mountains and cannot be found even if we try.

Only a very small number of the remains of the martyrs were transported back to the country for burial in later generations.

However, they used their lives to protect the motherland, allowing the people of the motherland to enjoy peace and ultimately create a prosperous China. The souls of these martyrs in heaven can now rest in peace.

When Major General Kurt, commander of the U.S. 9th Army, learned that the U.S. 2nd Division was unable to capture Sansoli, he was furious.

But things have come to this, and the old guy can do nothing about it.

Major General Kurt ordered angrily: "Send an elite force immediately to Longyuanli first. We must seize Longyuanli and ensure that the main force can retreat from here."

"The tragedy in the three institutes must never happen again."

"Yes sir!"

A staff officer nearby responded respectfully and hurried to convey the order.

At this moment, Major General Kurt was obviously a little panicked. He just wanted to leave here as soon as possible and retreat to a safe place with his Ninth Army.

The adjutant beside him seemed to see the commander's nervousness and quickly comforted him, "General, don't worry. So far, no trace of the enemy has been found in the Longyuanli area. As long as our vanguard can seize Longyuanli, our army can retreat south safely."

"Hmph~!"

Major General Kurt said angrily: "It's easy for you to say that. There were no enemies in the three institutes before."

"As a result, before we even got to the third institute, a group of enemies suddenly showed up and occupied the third institute, which is why we are still here now."

"Otherwise we would have retreated to safety by now."

"Now we have to go through Longyuanli and walk dozens of kilometers more, which will waste a lot of our precious time."

"The enemy's counterattack is getting more and more fierce. This is absolutely not a solution. All troops must speed up and leave this place as soon as possible."

"Yes sir!"

In the early morning of the next day, Deputy Division Commander Liu led the 337th Regiment on a forced march, crossing mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at Longyuanli.

Bu Sui took advantage of the night and quickly seized Longyuanli. Although the soldiers were exhausted, they did not take a rest and began to repair the fortifications in a hurry.

Because they had received news that the enemies in the three institutes had retreated northwards, and were definitely heading for Longyuanli. They probably didn't have much time left.

Sure enough, not long after, Major General Kurt sent the vanguard to Longyuanli, but unfortunately, they were a step slow again.

The soldiers of the 337th Regiment were already on high alert and ready for battle. The enemy rushed in head-on, but were hit head-on and quickly retreated.

At this time, the main enemy forces also changed their routes and headed towards Longyuanli.

After receiving the report, Major General Kurt slumped down in his chair and said in despair: "The thing I was most worried about has happened. The tragedy has happened again!" (End of this chapter)
