Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 84 Advance with great success!

Li Guotao and Pinghe did not miss and all of them hit the target.

Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng also immediately changed their targets and fired rockets.

As two explosions were heard in the distance, two enemy machine gun firing points were destroyed.

Wu Qianli then blew the osprey whistle in his mouth. As the whistle sounded, the soldiers who had been hiding behind the hillside burst into roars and continued to rush forward.

As the volunteer army deployed more and more troops, the scale of the battle expanded further and the fighting became more intense.

The attacking volunteer soldiers, like surging waves, constantly impacted the enemy's positions.

The brave volunteer soldiers advanced triumphantly, conquered one position after another, and the enemy suffered heavy losses.

Battle reports from the front line were constantly transmitted to the enemy's headquarters.

Major General Smith stared at the sand table in front of him with a frown.

The staff officers nearby would from time to time pull out the small flags representing the U.S. military and replace them with flags representing the Volunteer Army, which also indicated that one position after another was being conquered by the Volunteer Army.

Major General Smith became angrier the more he thought about it. He punched the sand table and said angrily, "Who can tell me why this is happening?"

"We obviously have the most advanced weapons and equipment, and Hagaru-ri also has a complete defense system. Why can't we stop a group of poorly equipped enemies?"

Colonel Bowser quickly persuaded: "General, calm down. As you said before, these enemies are just a bunch of lunatics."

"Fighting against such an enemy is probably the most wrong decision we have ever made in our lives."

"But things have already happened, and we can only accept the reality."

Major General Smith raised his hand, pointed to the artillery position, and said, "They have reached the artillery position."

"Yes!"

Major General Smith said angrily: "We must defend the artillery position and resist their attack at all costs."

"Inform Colonel Bruval and have them defend the artillery position to the death. If they lose the position, they will be subject to military law."

"Yes sir!"

Colonel Bowser responded quickly and then ordered someone to convey the order.

Major General Smith's order was quickly conveyed to the artillery command. Colonel Bruval, commander of the 11th Artillery Regiment, was now as anxious as an ant on hot pan.

"What? Let us hold our ground!"

Bruval was horrified. He had already reported the situation and was waiting for the command to issue a retreat order so that he could withdraw from his position.

However, the order to retreat did not come, but instead the order to defend the position was received.

"Yes, sir!"

"Fake~!"

Bruval said angrily: "General, are you mistaken? We are artillery, not infantry!"

"The enemy is about to rush to our position. What can we do to hold on?"

A staff officer said: "The general said that both infantry and artillery have the obligation to hold their positions."

"Besides, our artillery is not only good at firing cannons but also at shooting. There are also infantrymen responsible for protection on the positions. Let us gather all our strength to defend the artillery positions."

"Fake~!"

Colonel Bruval slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Let everyone who can still hold a gun go into battle and kill the enemy. We must resist their attack and defend the artillery position at all costs."

"Yes sir!"

In desperation, Colonel Bruval had no choice but to obey orders. At this moment, a large number of volunteer soldiers rushed towards the enemy's artillery positions from two directions.

The machine gunner of the third squad, Long Guoqing, was also extremely brave. He rushed forward with a light machine gun and fired at the enemy positions in front of him.

"Da da da~!"

Intensive gunfire rang out, and a string of hot bullets swept towards the enemy positions.

An enemy soldier was unable to dodge and a bullet pierced his helmet, smashing his head to pieces and causing him to fall to the ground with his head back.

The other enemies were so frightened that they quickly retreated into the trenches and dared not show their heads again.

Li Guotao took advantage of this opportunity and rushed forward quickly. When he arrived in front of the enemy's trench, he saw several enemies squatting in the trench, shivering. Without saying a word, he raised his gun and started shooting.

"Bang bang~!"

Crisp gunshots rang out, and both enemy soldiers were shot in the head.

At this time, several other enemy soldiers reacted. Seeing that the volunteers had rushed up, these guys did not think of resisting, but all stood up and fled tacitly.

Li Guotao fired continuously, and the enemies fell to the ground one by one.

Li Guotao then jumped directly into the trench, threw away the empty gun, squatted in the trench and took out an M1 carbine full of bullets from the system mall.

At this time, there is no time to reload bullets!

It’s still faster to just change guns!
Anyway, Li Guotao had no worries about not having a gun. He could just throw it away after shooting. The troops behind him would clean up the battlefield anyway, and the gun would be ours.

The only thing to worry about is being discovered by comrades.

That's why he squatted in the trench in the dark and chaotic scene, taking the opportunity to quickly change guns. Others would not suspect anything and would just think that Li Guotao picked up another gun on the battlefield.

The M1 Carbine is a light semi-automatic weapon designed and manufactured by the United States during World War II. The .30 carbine bullet it fires is far less powerful than a rifle bullet, but much more powerful than a pistol bullet. It has a caliber of 7.62 mm and fires medium-powered ammunition. It has a longer effective range than a standard 0.45-inch (11.43 mm) semi-automatic pistol or revolver, but a much shorter range than the M1 Garand rifle. However, it is easier to operate and more convenient to carry.

And this gun has another advantage, it can use 15-round or 30-round detachable magazines.

Li Guotao changed guns in an instant, so naturally it did not attract anyone's attention.

At this time, Gu Cangzhou and other soldiers also rushed over, and Li Guotao shouted: "Keep charging forward!"

Then Li Guotao, carrying his gun, rushed along the trench into the depths of the enemy's position.

At this time, Li Guotao had already seen a cannon in the distance, only about twenty meters away from him.

At this moment, the enemy's artillery on the position had not stopped their actions and were still firing.

However, this kind of heavy artillery is naturally unable to bombard approaching enemies. They are bombarding the volunteer army positions in the distance.

Li Guotao raised his gun and fired without saying a word.

"Bang bang bang~!"

A few crisp gunshots were heard, and several enemy artillerymen fell to the ground. Seeing that the situation was not good, several other artillerymen nearby immediately fled in all directions.

Gu Cangzhou caught up with him, raised his submachine gun and started firing.

"Da da da~!"

Intensive gunfire rang out, and several enemies fell to the ground.

The firing rate of a submachine gun is much faster than that of a carbine, but Li Guotao is a good marksman and can shoot accurately, killing enemies one by one, and the speed of killing enemies is no slower than that of a submachine gun, so he prefers to use a carbine.

Of course, if the distance is a little far, Li Guotao will still choose to use the Garand, after all, the carbine has a relatively short range.
