Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

While the Volunteer Army was preparing for artillery fire, Li Guotao quickly came to the backup tunnel entrance. The backup entrance was very narrow and could only allow one person to barely get out. It was also blocked by large rocks, so the enemy could not easily find this hidden entrance.

Li Guotao pulled the big rock that was blocking the cave entrance into the cave and pushed it into a small hole next to the cave entrance. In this way, the cave entrance was exposed and Li Guotao could go out. Moreover, this stone could be used to block the cave entrance in the future.

There was continuous artillery fire outside, so even if Li Guotao made a little noise, it would not attract the attention of the enemies outside.

Li Guotao was not in a hurry to go out. After all, artillery shells have no eyes. He didn't even dare to get too close to the cave entrance and retreated back into the depths of the tunnel.

Because this entrance is located on a reverse slope, enemy artillery shells basically cannot land here.

But the problem is that the Volunteer Army is now preparing for artillery fire, and the Volunteer Army's artillery shells can fall here, so it is safer to hide inside.

If he was too close to the cave entrance and was killed by his own shells, it would be too unfair.

A round of artillery attacks by our army caused considerable casualties to the enemy.

Although our army's artillery fire was not as fierce as the enemy's, it could even be said that it was far inferior. After all, the main artillery had not yet arrived to support us.

But the enemies on the mountain had no tunnels. They had just occupied their positions and only had time to use the terrain, craters, and some simple fortifications to defend against artillery fire.

The volunteers suddenly launched a fierce artillery attack, catching the enemy off guard and causing heavy casualties among the enemies guarding the positions.

The sound of artillery fire outside gradually stopped, and Li Guotao carefully approached the cave entrance again, but was not in a hurry to go out.

Because Li Guotao still couldn't be sure whether the artillery preparation had been completely completed.

Maybe you will stop for a while and then start another round. This kind of thing is quite common.

Unless the attacking force launches a large-scale counterattack, there is no way to be sure whether the artillery preparation has been completed.

At this time, a loud charge horn sounded at the foot of the mountain, followed by a burst of intensive gunfire, and faintly, a deafening shout of killing could be heard coming from afar.

Li Guotao pricked up his ears and listened carefully, judging the distance of the shouting and killing sounds, while at the same time understanding the deployment of troops of both sides through the system map.

Seeing that the volunteers did not really rush over, Li Guotao judged that this should be just a feint attack and the real artillery preparation had not yet been completed.

Sure enough, within three minutes, a burst of dense whistling sounds was heard outside again.

Shells fell on the battlefield one after another, violent explosions continued to sound, and flames rose into the sky.

The surviving enemies on the position had just reached the position and were ready to fight, but were killed by this round of artillery fire.

At this moment, Li Guotao discovered through the system map that the volunteer army was rapidly approaching the bottom of two high grounds.

You must know that the enemy's artillery outside has begun to launch a counterattack. The enemy's artillery fire is very fierce. In order to prevent the Volunteer Army's counterattack, a series of fire blockade lines have been formed in the rear.

At this moment, these soldiers were risking their lives to cross the fire blockade line and quickly gather at the foot of the mountain.

Li Guotao knew that the counterattack was about to begin, so he gripped the gun tightly in his hand and prepared for battle.

As soon as the shelling outside stopped, Li Guotao immediately crawled out of the tunnel.

Taking advantage of the chaos outside, Li Guotao quickly hid behind a large rock.

At this time, the enemies who were not killed by the explosion came out from various corners, rushed to the positions, restored their positions, and prepared for battle.

The main force of the Volunteer Army also rushed towards the mountain, and the battle officially began.

Li Guotao raised his gun and fired, and with a few shots, he sent three Americans who were preparing to set up a machine gun position into hell.

Then they destroyed another enemy firepower point.

Li Guotao took out a signal gun and fired a flare.

Yu Congrong saw Li Guotao's signal flare from the main tunnel entrance and shouted, "Follow me!"

As he said this, he rushed out of the tunnel first, and the other twenty or so soldiers followed closely behind him.

Li Guotao was the first to reach the No. 10 position and killed several enemies with a few shots. Then Yu Congrong and his men also reached the No. position from the side. The remaining enemies on the position were quickly killed.

Li Guotao ordered several soldiers to stay at position No. 10 to prevent the enemy from attacking from behind, and he led the remaining soldiers to attack position No. on the main peak.

Yu Congrong used a rocket launcher to destroy an enemy firepower point, and Li Guotao also killed several enemies. The soldiers took the opportunity to approach the main peak position and threw more than 20 grenades in a row.

Amid a series of explosions, flames shot up into the sky on the main peak position. As soon as the explosion ended, Li Guotao led his soldiers to successfully rush to position No. 3.

There were still a few enemies on the position who were not dead yet. They were so scared that they turned around and ran away. A soldier rushed up to them and shot them all down with a volley of bullets.

After quickly occupying the main peak position, Li Guotao loudly ordered: "Set up machine guns immediately and suppress positions 7 and with firepower."

"Yes!"

Following Li Guotao's order, the soldiers immediately set up machine guns and fired fiercely at positions No. 9 and No. .

Since Position No. 3 was the main peak, the soldiers were in a dominant position and suddenly opened fire. The enemies on Positions No. 9 and No. were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties.

Li Guotao set up a mortar, aimed it at the enemy position from a high position and began to bombard it. As explosions sounded, the enemy's firepower points were blown up into the sky one after another.

Because of Li Guotao's presence, these soldiers now don't have to worry about weapons and ammunition at all.

Li Guotao exchanged a large number of weapons and ammunition through the system mall, and piled them up at position No. 3 and position No. 10 which he had just occupied, so now Li Guotao and his men have both guns and cannons.

At this time, Yu Congrong rushed over and said, "Lao Li, the enemy reinforcements are coming."

Li Guotao turned his head and saw that on the hillside on the enemy's side, a large number of enemies were rushing up the mountain desperately.

After the Volunteer Army completed its artillery preparation, it also began to extend its firing, forming a fire blockade line behind the enemy.

These enemies also risked their lives to cross the line of fire and rushed over, ready to support the defenders on the mountain.

crazy!

All crazy!

At this moment, both sides were completely blood-thirsty in their fight for these two hills. They began to fight without caring about casualties, and fought to the death in these two small areas with a total area of ​​only 3.7 square kilometers.

Li Guotao observed the situation and saw that there were only a few enemies left on the No. 9 position, and they were suppressed by our army's firepower. They all hid in the bomb craters and dared not move.

Li Guotao immediately ordered: "Lao Yu, take five people and recapture the No. 9 position for me and block the enemy troops supporting us from behind."

"Yes!"

Yu Congrong responded, and then rushed towards Hill No. 9 with five soldiers in a menacing manner.

Li Guotao and his men provided fire cover from behind, firing at position No. 9 from a high position.

Position No. 9 is the main peak entrance. If the enemy wants to attack Position No. 3, they must first take Position No. . As long as Li Guotao and his men take Position No. , they can stop the large number of enemies below.

At this moment, the few remaining enemy soldiers on the No. 9 position were suppressed by firepower and could only hide in the bomb crater and dared not move.

Yu Congrong and his men took the opportunity to rush forward, not giving the enemy a chance to counterattack, and directly killed all these guys.

At this time, Li Guotao also quickly exchanged a large number of weapons and ammunition and placed them in various locations of the No. 9 position.

Yu Congrong, along with several soldiers, quickly dispersed and occupied all the strategic points of position No. 9.

At this time, the dark mass of enemies below was only a few dozen meters away from the position.

The nearest one is only a dozen meters away.

Yu Congrong picked up a flamethrower and aimed it at the enemy rushing towards him.

A tongue of blazing fire spurted out, instantly burning all the dozen or so enemies closest to it into firemen.

The other two soldiers also picked up incendiary grenades and threw them into the enemy crowd one after another.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

The incendiary grenade exploded, creating flames and splattering white phosphorus everywhere, landing on the enemies and instantly burning them into firemen.

The screams like those of a pig being slaughtered continued to ring out, and the hillside suddenly became chaotic. The enemies who were on fire rolled down the hill screaming like burning logs. The enemies below were so scared that they dodged everywhere, fearing that they would be contaminated by the flames and burned to death. The scene was in chaos.

The other three soldiers set up the light machine guns on the position and fired fiercely at the enemy.

"Da da da~!"

Intensive gunfire rang out, and three tongues of blazing fire spewed out, forming a cross fire that quickly swept towards the enemy crowd. The enemies that rushed up were like wheat being cut down, and a large number of them were swept down in an instant.

Under the powerful firepower of the soldiers, the enemies who rushed towards the No. 9 position suffered heavy casualties in an instant, and the enemies who survived by chance were frightened and retreated one after another.

At the same time, with the support of Li Guotao and others, the main force of the Volunteer Army attacking from the north also rushed to Hill 597.7 one after another.

After a bloody battle, Position No. 6, Position No. 5, Position No. 4, Position No. 0, Position No. 1, Position No. 8, Position No. 2, and Position No. were successfully recaptured by the Volunteer Army.

In this counterattack, Li Guotao and his men played a crucial role, otherwise our army would never have been able to recapture these positions so easily.

Only Position No. 11, supported by a large number of enemy troops, remained in enemy hands.

At this moment, there are still a large number of enemies behind, constantly pouring towards position No. 11.

The enemy at position No. 11 also launched a frantic counterattack towards positions No. 2 and No. . The two sides met in the middle area of ​​these three positions and engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand combat.

The American troops, who have always been wary of hand-to-hand combat, were all blood-thirsty this time. They rushed forward like crazy, and the two sides fought each other with blood and flesh flying everywhere, making it difficult to separate.

Li Guotao aimed the two M-1 81mm mortars he had exchanged at the rear of position No. 11 and moved all the artillery shells nearby.

He ordered the two soldiers, "Fire them hard."

The two soldiers quickly stuffed shells into the barrel.

"Dong dong dong~!"

The dull sound of artillery continued to ring out, and one mortar shell after another flew rapidly towards the hillside just south of position No. 11 with a sharp whistle.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

Violent explosions continued to ring out, and the enemies who were about to rush to position No. 11 were blown to the ground one after another.

The purpose of Li Guotao's move was to use firepower to block the enemy support from behind and prevent more enemies from rushing to position No. 11.

The enemy also went crazy. Seeing that all the positions on the west side had been lost, only the most forward position No. 11 in the northwest direction was still in their hands. They ordered the main force to continuously rush to position No. 11, trying to pass through position No. 11 and then recapture the remaining positions.

As mortar shells fell, enemies were knocked to the ground in large numbers, suffering heavy casualties.

Li Guotao was also blood-thirsty. Seeing that the battle at position No. 11 had not ended yet, he immediately rushed down from the main peak with two soldiers and headed straight for position No. 11.

When he met Wu Qianli on the way, Li Guotao asked, "How did you get up here?"

Wu Qianli said: "I personally went to the division commander to apply and took a platoon to participate in the counterattack. I came to find you."

"I'm relieved to see that you're okay."

Hill 597.9 was lost and the defenders on the position suffered heavy casualties. Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng were in the rear and had no idea whether Li Guotao was dead or alive.

Another platoon of the task force has arrived. It looks like our task force will also have to fight to the death at Shangganling?

Li Guotao couldn't help feeling a little worried, but at this moment, he couldn't care less about that.

"First, take position 11 and repel the enemy."

"Yes!"

Afterwards, the soldiers brought by Li Guotao and Wu Qianli joined together and rushed towards position No. 11.

The battlefield was in chaos, with at least two or three hundred people on both sides crowded into the narrow battlefield, engaging in close combat, unable to even distinguish between friend and foe.

Li Guotao threw away his rifle, and rushed into the chaotic battlefield holding an American-made M4 bayonet in one hand and a pistol in the other.

Li Guotao's skills are now quite impressive. He rushed forward bravely and was unstoppable. He could not stand a single blow against the American soldiers he faced.

Moreover, Li Guotao had very good coordination between bayonet and pistol. If the enemy could be solved with a gun, he would just shoot him in the head.

With Li Guotao's marksmanship, there is no need to worry about accidental injuries at such a close distance.

It is not convenient to use a gun, mainly because they are afraid of accidental injury, so they stick close and solve the problem with a knife.

Although the M4 bayonet is slightly shorter, Li Guotao uses it with ease.

Either the knife cut the throat or stabbed directly into the heart. Basically, all of them were killed with one blow. Wherever he passed, the enemies fell to the ground dead.

Wu Qianli and the other soldiers of the task force also rushed forward, following Li Guotao and killing their way forward.

These soldiers of the task force are all elite soldiers who have survived hundreds of battles. Each of them is very skilled. Wherever they go, they kill and wound the enemy.

Li Guotao rushed forward and shouted loudly: "Comrades, drive the foreign devils away and kill them!"

"Kill~!" (End of this chapter)
