Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 265 Killing the US ace division commander!

Major General Guy, commander of the 1st Cavalry Division of the United States, was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a loud explosion in the baggage camp.

Major General Guy, who was already angry because his sweet dream was disturbed, became even more furious when he learned that the baggage camp had suffered heavy losses, and started cursing in anger.

Major General Guy pointed at the noses of several of his men and started cursing them.

At this moment, there were sudden bursts of gunfire and explosions outside.

Major General Guy couldn't help but frowned and shouted: "What's going on?"

At this time, an officer rushed in and shouted: "General, something bad has happened. A group of enemies are coming and will soon attack us."

"what?"

Major General Guy's face darkened instantly, and he shouted angrily: "What are you doing here, you idiots? Stop them!"

"Immediately mobilize nearby troops to come over for support and wipe out these ignorant fellows."

"Yes sir!"

"Chirp~!"

There was a sharp whistling sound, and a rocket landed outside and exploded with a loud bang.

It was even more chaotic outside. Major General Guy was a little panicked at this time. It was obvious that the Volunteer Army was very close to here.

An officer nearby said quickly: "General, something seems to be wrong. Let's retreat to the mountain as soon as possible."

"We still have our blocking position on the top of the mountain. Relying on the favorable terrain on the top of the mountain, we will definitely be able to hold out for a while. Our reinforcements will arrive soon."

Hearing this, Major General Guy nodded quickly and said, "You are right, retreat to the top of the mountain immediately."

"Also, tell the nearby troops to come back and help quickly. Destroy them for me."

"Yes sir!"

Under the protection of two adjutants and a group of officers, Major General Guy hurriedly left the tent and quickly climbed towards the top of the mountain.

At this time, Li Guotao had already rushed over with the soldiers of the task force.

Li Guotao took the lead and fired at the enemy soldiers in front, sending them directly to hell.

The other soldiers also rushed forward and killed all the enemies who had no time to escape.

Li Guotao looked up and saw a group of people fleeing towards the top of the mountain in a chaotic manner.

The submachine gun in Li Guotao's hand had run out of bullets. Without time to change the magazine, he just threw it away, picked up a carbine from the ground, and quickly aimed at the enemy in the distance.

"Bang bang bang bang~!"

A series of crisp gunshots rang out, and Li Guotao shot one person in the head with every shot.

As Major General Guy was running towards the mountain, a hot bullet flew over quickly and penetrated directly into the back of his head. Then it blew a hole in his old face and flew out.

Major General Guy was killed on the spot and fell to the ground, motionless.

[Ding Dong~! Congratulations on killing an enemy major general. You get a bonus of +10000 points.]

At this time, a crisp system prompt sounded, and Li Guotao was overjoyed. There was indeed a big fish.

Major General!

At least he has to be a teacher!

The nearby area was the defense zone of the 1st Cavalry Division, so there was a 90% chance that the enemy major general who was killed was Major General Guy, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division.

Li Guotao thought about this and a smile appeared on his face. Then he shouted loudly: "Retreat immediately~!"

First of all, there are enemies all around them. Once the enemy reinforcements surround them, it will not be easy for them to escape and retreat.

Moreover, there were enemy guard troops on the top of the mountain. They were in a dominant position and continuing to attack would be tantamount to seeking death.

Of course, the most important thing is that the goal has been achieved. If you don’t retreat, will you stay here to eat?
At Li Guotao's command, the soldiers did not hesitate at all.

Several grenades were thrown immediately, blowing up all the tents of the enemy headquarters.

The soldiers then quickly retreated down the mountain and began to retreat quickly according to the planned route.

Wu Qianli asked, "It seems that some enemies fled towards the mountain just now. I don't know if the enemy commander was killed."

Li Guotao said: "It has been killed. It is indeed a big fish."

It is not easy for Li Guotao to tell the truth to others, but he does not need to worry about Wu Qianli. After all, Wu Qianli and the others were people he brought with him and they know Li Guotao's background.

Wu Qianli couldn't help but brighten up when he heard that, but seeing that there were other people around, he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Li Guotao said casually: "Just now I saw a group of enemy officers retreating towards the mountain. Several of them were protecting an old guy. He must be their commander."

"I shot him in the head."

As he spoke, Li Guotao leaned close to Wu Qianli's ear and whispered something.

"Major General!"

Hearing this, Wu Qianli's eyes lit up. After all, it was too difficult to kill an enemy major general on the battlefield.

Wu Qianli said excitedly: "That's great."

Under the leadership of Li Guotao, the task force successfully avoided the enemy's reinforcements and then dived into the mountains.

With Li Guotao around, it was really easy to avoid the enemy.

About an hour later, Li Guotao brought the soldiers to the designated assembly point.

Li Moyin and other soldiers had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Li Guotao and his companions return safely, Li Moyin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, this operation is too risky. If you are not careful, you may be surrounded and eaten by the enemy.

So before seeing Li Guotao and the others, Li Moyin was always worried.

"how is the situation?"

Li Guotao replied: "Everything went well. We killed an enemy commander and destroyed their headquarters."

"But we don't know who it is. The situation was urgent and we didn't have time to identify it, so we retreated in a hurry."

"Five soldiers were killed in the battle."

Li Moyin said: "Okay! Thank you for your hard work."

In war, sacrifice is inevitable.

Although Li Moyin felt a little distressed, he didn't say anything.

And this time the goal was achieved. Not only did they destroy a large amount of the enemy's supplies, but they also killed an enemy commander. It was a great victory.

Li Moyin observed the situation in the distance and said, "We made such a big noise today, the enemy will definitely not give up." Li Guotao nodded and said, "When we retreated just now, we found that several enemy groups were chasing and searching."

Li Moyin said: "I'm not afraid at night, after all, the terrain here is complicated, but the day will soon dawn, and then there will be real trouble."

Li Guotao raised his head and glanced into the distance, then said, "Continue to retreat into the mountains, the farther away from the enemy the better."

The task force then continued to retreat into the mountains. The soldiers all wore camouflage and chose to march through dense forests to avoid enemy reconnaissance aircraft.

The soldiers who are left behind will also try their best to clean up the traces left behind.

In order to block, delay and mislead the enemy, Li Guotao also specially sent several people to set up booby traps in some places.

Li Guotao and his men retreated for dozens of miles before they stopped and found an extremely remote and secluded place to rest.

But even so, the task force did not dare to be careless at all and sent people to guard the surrounding area in advance. Once the enemy approached, they would detect the enemy at the first time.

The task force's raid not only achieved brilliant results, but also had a great impact.

Although the destroyed supplies were nothing to the enemy army which had sufficient supplies.

However, Major General Guy was killed, which directly affected the enemy's offensive plan.

So after dawn, the main force of the 1st Cavalry Division did not launch the general attack as originally planned.

This undoubtedly gave the 63rd Army a rare chance to catch its breath, during which it could use this opportunity to strengthen its positions, adjust its deployment, and consolidate its defense line.

Of course, just as Li Guotao guessed, the enemy suffered such a great loss that they would naturally not give up.

In order to prevent similar incidents from happening again, the enemy mobilized more than a regiment of troops to conduct a dragnet search in the nearby mountainous areas, attempting to find the small group of troops that launched the sneak attack, eliminate them, and avenge the death of Commander Guy.

However, facing the cunning Li Guotao, the enemy's search was ultimately unsuccessful.

After dark, all the enemy search teams retreated because it would become more difficult for them to find the small units of the Volunteer Army at night.

Moreover, the terrain in the mountains is complex, and they are worried about being attacked at night.

More importantly, these guys have been busy all day and need a rest, so they had to go back obediently.

Moreover, they concluded that the volunteer army troops would definitely not stay here foolishly and wait for them to capture them.

"Report, the enemy has all retreated!"

Li Moyin asked, "They have all withdrawn!"

"They should have all evacuated and retreated to the camp near the highway."

Li Moyin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "They are finally gone."

"Good boy, the enemy is really powerful. They actually sent a regiment of troops to deal with us."

Tying down this regiment of enemy troops for a whole day undoubtedly relieved a lot of pressure on the front-line troops.

Moreover, Li Moyin had already learned some information, that is, the 1st Cavalry Division on the nearby front line had not launched a large-scale offensive throughout the day.

However, the attacks of other troops were not greatly affected, and the pressure faced by the 63rd Army was still very great.

But after all, they only have so many people, and it is quite rare for them to be able to do this.

Li Moyin looked at Li Guotao and asked, "Who did you kill last night?"

Li Guotao shook his head and said, "How would I know?"

"It was pitch dark, and I saw that group of guys protecting an old man as they retreated up the mountain. The old man was being held by two people. He must be a high-ranking official!"

"Who would care about him otherwise?"

"I shot him in the back of the head without even seeing his face."

Li Moyin smiled and said, "Then how can you be sure that he is an old guy?"

Li Guotao said with a smile: "The hillside is a bit funny. The old guy can't even walk properly and needs help to climb up."

"It must be an old fellow."

Li Moyin smiled and said, "Maybe he was so scared that his legs went limp."

Li Guotao scratched his head and said, "Why didn't I think of this? It's more likely that he was frightened and peed himself. His pants were soaked and he couldn't walk properly."

"Haha~!"

Li Moyin laughed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Judging from the current situation, it must be a big fish, otherwise the enemy would not have made such a big scene. Moreover, the 1st Cavalry Division did not launch a large-scale offensive today, which is enough to explain the problem."

Li Guotao guessed, "You mean to say that the person we killed was the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division?"

Li Moyin nodded and said, "Based on the current situation, this is possible. If it is just a regimental commander or something, it should not affect the combat plan of the entire First Cavalry Division."

"Of course, we can't be sure about this kind of thing."

Li Guotao's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he asked, "Should we do it again today?"

Li Moyin couldn't help but frowned and said, "The enemy suffered a great loss last night, so they will definitely be on guard today."

"If you go again, you'll probably end up walking into a tiger's mouth!"

Li Guotao nodded and said, "That's true."

"But we can't sit idle. We can investigate the situation in advance. We need to hold Cheorwon for half a month. Only a few days have passed. There is no need to be too anxious. We can play with them slowly. So if we investigate the situation in advance, it will be more convenient to take action later."

Li Moyin nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, let's do as you say."

Li Guotao said quickly: "I will personally lead people there and find out all the enemy's situations."

Li Moyin reminded: "The enemy will definitely increase their vigilance, so you must be careful."

Li Guotao assured solemnly: "Don't worry, this night will be ours. I'll pick a few good guys and go over quietly. I'm sure nothing will happen."

Li Moyin nodded and said, "Let's do this for now."

"According to the plan, we should stay nearby for a few more days. I will also investigate the situation in the surrounding area and find a few more hiding places in case of emergency."

Li Guotao frowned and asked, "Do we have enough food these days?"

The troops had basically run out of food before, and when the task force came, they only brought three days' worth of dry rations, which were given to them by Commander Fu because he was afraid that they would go hungry.

Li Moyin smiled and said, "Don't worry! We occupied a Japanese position last night. There is a lot of food stored there. If we add what we brought with us, we can eat sparingly and last for a few days without any problem."

"Besides, if we have the chance later, we can get some more food."

Li Guotao nodded and said, "I feel relieved in this case. I will leave now."

Li Moyin reminded: "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"rest assured!"

Li Guotao stood up and left, then selected a few experienced scouts, quietly left their hiding place, and rushed towards the enemy's position under the cover of night.
