Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 50 Attack Xinxingli!
Tan Ziwei said seriously: "The enemy we are facing this time is much stronger than those before."

"When you get to the battlefield, be careful."

Wu Qianli said casually: "Thanks for the reminder, these foreign devils are indeed powerful, but we are no longer the same as before."

"That's true!" Tan Ziwei nodded.

These American troops are indeed powerful, and are definitely the most formidable enemies our army has ever encountered.

However, the strength of our army has also improved a lot. We have the support of the motherland and tens of millions of compatriots behind us. With this strong backing, our army cannot lose.

Wu Qianli and Tan Ziwei waved goodbye and walked away without looking back.

The soldiers of the Seventh Company followed Wu Qianli to the attack position.

At the same time, the rest of the troops of the 1st Attack Regiment, and even the troops of the entire division, took advantage of the night to quietly move into the attack positions and made preparations before the attack.

Wu Qianli ordered: "Everyone take a break and be ready to attack at any time."

Wu Qianli found a place and sat down.

After a while, I suddenly heard someone calling.

"Where is Wu Qianli?"

Wu Qianli quickly sat up straight and shouted, "Who called me?"

After a while, a volunteer soldier came over with a hunched back, sat next to Wu Qianli, and grinned.

"Lao Yang?"

Wu Qianli couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Why the hell did you come here?"

The person who came was Captain Yang of the artillery battalion.

Battalion Commander Yang laughed and said, "There's nothing I can do! All my artillery was blown up by the foreign devils. Now my heavy artillery battalion can only be used as infantry."

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are plenty of cannons in Xinxingli. We will take them back for you tonight."

Captain Yang said, "I won't be polite with you. I'm here to tell you that if you capture any cannons, keep them for me."

"Last night, those bastards from the Second Regiment were really quick! As soon as they rushed to the enemy's position, they blew up the artillery."

"What a great cannon! These bastards blew it all into scrap metal. It was my cannon, I feel so sad!"

Wu Qianli smiled bitterly and said, "So you're wandering around for nothing just for this matter."

Captain Yang said seriously, "Isn't this important?"

"Remember, the cannons on the enemy's position are all mine, don't blow them up."

"If you dare to blow me up, I will never let you go."

Wu Qianli asked with a smile: "If I bring you a dozen cannons, how will you thank me?"

"Hehe~!"

Captain Yang laughed and said, "If you can really capture a dozen cannons for me, I'll even call you grandpa."

"A word is settled!"

"I mean what I say! I'll go to the Ninth Company and take a look. If a fight breaks out, be careful."

Battalion Commander Yang said this and stood up and left.

……

On the top of a distant mountain, the division commander was holding a telescope and observing the situation in the direction of Xinxingli.

The chief of staff said: "I just received reports from each regiment. All attacking forces have entered their designated positions."

The commander nodded with satisfaction and looked at his watch.

"It's almost time. Immediately notify all troops to launch a general attack on the enemy in Xinxingli."

"We must wipe out all the enemies in Xinxingli in the shortest possible time." "Yes!"

The order was quickly conveyed to the front-line troops.

"Chirp chirp chirp~!"

Whistling sounds were heard and flares rose into the sky one after another.

Xinxingli, on the enemy's position.

Colonel McLean looked at the flares rising in the distance and couldn't help but frowning. He said, "Is the enemy about to launch an attack?"

Lieutenant Colonel Feiss said: "Maybe! Our troops are ready. We are not afraid even if they launch an attack."

"With these solid defenses, I think we can easily hold out for a week, or even longer, let alone a day. There will be no problem at all."

"After all, we have air superiority. Even if we run out of ammunition and supplies, we can get supplies through airdrops."

McClain frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Through the previous battles, McLean had witnessed the strength of the Volunteer Army, and now he did not dare to be careless.

At this moment, bursts of rumbling artillery fire suddenly sounded from the Volunteer Army positions in the distance.

Although Captain Yang's heavy artillery was destroyed, the Volunteer Army still had a lot of mortars and infantry guns, which were now firing at full power and bombarding the enemy positions fiercely.

"Chirp chirp chirp~!"

Amid the piercing whistling sound, one shell after another, like a meteor, quickly streaked across the night sky and hit the enemy's position.

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and some defensive positions on the enemy's periphery were constantly destroyed by artillery fire.

Colonel McLean saw this scene, put down the telescope, and said seriously: "Notify the artillery unit immediately, and suppress the enemy's artillery with all your strength."

“Yes sir!”

Lieutenant Colonel Feiss responded quickly, and then said: "However, these enemies seem to be very cunning, and their artillery positions are relatively scattered. If we want to completely eliminate them, I'm afraid it will take some time."

McClane nodded and said, "No matter how much time it takes, we have to kill them. Once we kill them, everything will be easy."

"All other troops, enter defensive positions and do your best to stop the enemy's attack."

“Yes sir!”

After seeing the signal flare, Wu Qianli and the soldiers of the Seventh Company began to move forward cautiously under the cover of darkness.

At the same time, the remaining companies also began to take action.

Under the cover of night, thousands of elite troops have formed a complete encirclement of Xinxingli from all directions and are ready to launch a full-scale general offensive at any time.

Wu Qianli led the soldiers and rushed up a hillside. Wu Qianli first stuck his head out to observe. After crossing the hillside, the enemy's position was about a few hundred meters away.

Wu Qianli waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop and wait for orders.

However, not long after, several flares were heard again in the distance.

Then loud charge horns sounded in various directions and gradually converged together.

“Tick-tick-tick-tick~tick- ...…”

The loud charge horns sounded simultaneously from all directions, roaring like a storm, shaking people's hearts.

The sound continued to echo in the air, like thunder, deafening.

"Come on!"

The brave soldiers roared one after another and rushed out of their positions without hesitation.

The deafening shouts of killing came rolling in like muffled thunder.

The brave volunteer soldiers swept towards Xinxingli with overwhelming force and speed.
