Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 74 Night attack!

"Fuck, this damn weather, I feel like I'm going to freeze to death!"

An enemy soldier who was warming himself by the fire complained with gritted teeth, his black face filled with resentment looking hideous and terrifying.

"This is so unfair! Why should we be on night duty again?"

"The guy said that our dark skin makes us resistant to cold, and that the enemy can't see us at night."

"fart!"

"I really want to kill these beasts. They sleep inside and leave us freezing outside. This is really too much."

"They have always been like this. Did you just know that?"

"Well, instead of complaining, we might as well get up and move our bodies, otherwise we will really be frozen."

A few guys got up reluctantly while complaining, and started jumping around to stretch their muscles, but no one was willing to move away from the bonfire.

At this time, Yu Congrong and several soldiers had already approached and were only a dozen meters away from the enemy soldiers.

Seeing that all the enemy soldiers stood up, Yu Congrong and the soldiers hurriedly hid in a hidden place, lying on the ground, moving slowly, holding the guns tightly in their hands, ready to attack at any time.

Li Guotao also aimed at an enemy soldier, ready to shoot at any time.

The howling cold wind kept blowing, like knives cutting Li Guotao's face, but Li Guotao was completely unaware of it. He lay there motionless, staring at the enemy in the distance.

An enemy soldier stretched his muscles and looked around at the situation.

It was pitch black all around them, and they stayed by the fire the whole time, making it even harder for them to see clearly what was going on in the dark.

The guy said with some concern: "Will the enemy take advantage of this opportunity to sneak up?"

Another enemy soldier said: "Their main force is besieging the 5th Marine Regiment. They shouldn't be able to catch up here so quickly."

"I heard that the 5th Marine Regiment is in big trouble. I'm afraid they can't break out."

"This is not something we should consider. Let's just think about how to leave here alive."

"What if the enemy comes?"

"Run! The faster the better. I don't want to die in this icy and snowy place without anyone to collect my body."

"Deserting will be severely punished."

"It's better than dying here! If their main force catches up with us, do you think we can resist it?"

Not long after, those guys all sat back down. In such a cold climate, they were too lazy to move.

I saw those guys, all sitting there, warming themselves by the fire.

Yu Congrong waved his hand, and several soldiers immediately approached cautiously.

Before the enemy could react, several soldiers rushed over.

“Puff~! Puff~!”

The sharp dagger stabbed directly into the enemy's body.

"Ah~! Enemy attack~!"

"Don't kill me~!"

Two guys screamed before they died, but the sound was not very loud and was basically covered by the howling cold wind, and the sound soon stopped.

These unlucky guys all turned into corpses on the ground.

The enemy soldiers sleeping in the tents were soundly sleeping and didn't hear any noise outside.

The brave soldiers took the opportunity to rush into the enemy camp and entered the enemy's tents in groups of several people.

As screams rang out, dozens of enemy soldiers in the tent were quickly eliminated.

Most of the enemy soldiers were killed while they were sleeping, and they didn’t even know how they died.

Li Guotao followed Mei Sheng to the camp. At this moment, the battle had been resolved and there was no chance to attack. Li Guotao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Wu Qianli smiled and said, "It was relatively smooth."

Mei Sheng said: "I guess these foreign devils never expected that we would come up from this direction."

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "This is the best way. We should continue to advance towards Hagaru-ri before the enemy finds us. Maybe we can take advantage of the opportunity to gain a big advantage."

Meisheng nodded and said, "Then we must hurry up."

……

Hagaru-ri, enemy headquarters.

Major General Smith was dozing off in his chair when he was suddenly awakened.

"How is it? How is the situation of the 5th Marine Regiment?"

Colonel Bowser replied helplessly: "The enemy's offensive is fierce. The 5th Marine Regiment has suffered heavy losses and can no longer withstand the enemy's attack. At this rate, they may not be able to hold out until dawn."

"Que?"

Although it was very warm inside the headquarters, Major General Smith felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave.

"How could it be like this?"

Colonel Bowser went on to say, "What's worse is that the main force of the enemy is advancing towards Hagaru-ri."

"A large number of enemy troops have been spotted in the vicinity. We may be surrounded by the enemy."

Hearing this, Major General Smith's expression became even uglier.

"Sir, I think we can't delay any longer. We must make a decision as soon as possible."

Major General Smith frowned and pondered for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately send a message to the 5th Marine Regiment to disperse and break out, and retreat to Hagaru-ri."

"Also, order the main forces of the 7th Marine Regiment to withdraw to Hagaru-ri."

"There are other friendly troops, the Army's 7th Division, and those Korean rubbish, all gathered in Hagaru-ri, ready to resist the enemy's new round of attack."

"No matter what, we must stop the enemy's offensive in Hagaru-ri, otherwise we may be completely defeated."

“Yes sir!”

Colonel Bowser responded quickly, and then said: "It is said that the situation on the western front is also very bad. The Ninth Army is also retreating across the board, and their retreat route has been cut off. The current situation is not very good either."

Major General Smith could not help but complain, "It was our self-righteous commander who always believed that the enemy would not intervene on a large scale. But the fact is that they secretly transported hundreds of thousands of elite troops here and caught us off guard."

"Now that both the eastern and western fronts have collapsed at the same time, no one can stop our retreat."

"All we can do now is to find a way to stabilize the battle line in Hagaru-ri."

Colonel Bowser asked, "What if Hagaru-ri can't be defended?"

Major General Smith said helplessly: "Then we can only continue to retreat southward. It is not wise to fight a decisive battle with the enemy now."

"Preserve your strength first, then seek an opportunity for a decisive battle."

"But we are well prepared in Hagaru-ri, and those enemies may not be able to break through our defense line."

"I hope so!"

Colonel Bowser said casually, then turned around to convey the order.

At this time, the adjutant handed over a cup of coffee and said, "Sir, would you like a cup of coffee?"

Major General Smith took the coffee worriedly, took a sip, and felt that today's coffee was very bitter.

“You didn’t add sugar?”

"Yes! Do you need more sugar, sir?"
