Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 240 The Complete Conquest of Chipyong-ri!!!
Outside the artillery position of the 1st US Brigade
"Political Commissar, the guards protecting the US artillery positions have suddenly withdrawn. Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"

Wu Siyi said.

"It seems to me that Freeman is gambling, betting his last infantry units in an attempt to break through our defenses in one fell swoop."

"Judging by the time, it should be starting soon on Comrade Chenggong's side as well, and I guess the US military command will be doing the same."

Liu Hanqing glanced at his watch and said.

"Now, let's wait for Comrade Xu Mumu and his team to launch their attack. According to the original plan, we have three minutes left."

According to prehistoric times.

"Tell the comrades to fire hard in three minutes and make sure to seize this batch of artillery."

"After we win, I will apply to the higher authorities for a batch of Shanxi Fenjiu liquor, which is loved even in Beijing, to celebrate our victory!"

Liu Hanqing said with a smile.

"Political Commissar, I'm fine with whatever we drink for the victory celebration, except..."

Upon hearing the words "capital city," Shiqian's heart stirred slightly, and he gripped his gun, seemingly wanting to speak but then stopping himself.

"Comrade from prehistoric times, what is your wish?"

"Whether it's about having your family on your mind or sharing any difficulties you're facing, I'll keep it in mind."

Liu Hanqing noticed Shi Qian's hesitation and asked.

Taking the artillery positions was just the beginning; the next step was to completely defeat the American and French forces, and possibly even the British 27th Brigade.

No one can guarantee that they will survive these perilous journeys, so what is being said now may just be half a dying wish.

"I always hear about protecting the country and defending the capital, but I've never actually seen what the capital looks like."

"Tiananmen Square, Wangfujing, Peking duck and stuff like that..."

"I've only ever heard that there were two banners hanging in front of Tiananmen Square: one on the west side read 'Long live the People's Republic of China,' and the other on the east side read 'Long live the Central People's Government.'"

Prehistoric smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said.

"That was in 49. Starting in 50, the East side started chanting 'Long live the great unity of the people of the world,' while the West side remained unchanged."

“I originally planned to take Wanli back to Beijing after the war, but now I’ve thought about it and it would be good to take you all with me.”

Liu Hanqing recalled for a moment, patted Prehistoric on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Really?!"

"Thank you, Political Commissar, thank you!"

Upon hearing this, the prehistoric creature immediately expressed its gratitude.

"boom!!!"

"Da da da da da da da da..."

Suddenly, a barrage of gunfire erupted from afar.

It was obvious that Xu Mumu and his men were already attacking the artillery position.

……

Artillery battalion headquarters
"What?!"

"How could there be gunshots so close!"

"I asked Major Jack of the artillery battalion."

"Sir, the Chinese have attacked!"

"Our guards have all been transferred away, what are we going to do?!"

A U.S. Army captain rushed in and said.

"asshole!"

"How many people!?"

Major Jack asked.

"There are probably one or two hundred men, but their firepower is very strong; they must be elite troops."

The U.S. Army captain said anxiously.

"You hold them off, I only need fifteen minutes!"

"Now is the time to launch the final offensive. The front-line troops are about to launch a full-scale attack, and the artillery cannot fall silent at this moment!"

The U.S. Army major clenched his fist and said.

"Sir, the artillery battalion is in critical condition. Perhaps we should advise Colonel Freeman to postpone the attack..."

The U.S. Army captain quickly advised against it.

"Fuck! A pause my ass!"

"The French army is about to collapse, and Chipyong-ni is about to fall. How can we afford to delay at a time like this!"

"I said guard for fifteen minutes, didn't you understand?!"

Major Jack, remembering the death order Freeman had just given, immediately roared.

"Yes, sir!"

Captain Jack reluctantly agreed.

....................................

After the order was given, a company of artillerymen was dispatched to block Xu Mumu's assault team.

The remaining artillerymen gathered around the cannons and poured shells down on the distant positions.

Seeing that the opportunity was ripe, Liu Hanqing immediately led his guard company toward the American artillery position.

"Wu Siyi, take your men and take control of the ammunition depot."

"Prehistoric, you go around from the left, and I'll lead the men around from the right!"

Liu Hanqing said.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Shiqian and Wu Siyi immediately split up and began to act.

Artillery positions

"Quickly, quickly, replenish the damn ammunition!"

"Fire! Fire!"

A U.S. military officer gripped his command flag tightly, urging him on urgently.

"boom!"

The next second, a gunshot rang out, and a bullet immediately hit his head, taking his life.

"Da da da! Da da da! Da da da! Da da da..."

In an instant, the sound of countless submachine guns firing rang out.

Liu Hanqing and Shi Qian rushed out from both sides and quickly eliminated the American troops outside the artillery positions.

"Fuck!"

"You can't even last fifteen minutes?!"

The U.S. major in the artillery position drew his pistol and began to curse.

“Sir, they seem to be coming from another direction.”

"Our lives are in their hands."

"It was said by an American artilleryman who was still carrying shells."

At that moment, all the American artillerymen stopped what they were doing and looked to both sides.

Liu Hanqing and Shi Qian led more than a hundred soldiers to surround the area, with hundreds of submachine guns and more than ten light machine guns aimed at the American artillery.

Not only that, but the four or five bazookas and incendiary grenades were also ready.

As long as Liu Hanqing gives the order, the massive firepower network will completely tear these American troops apart.

Under the bombardment of rockets and incendiary grenades, the shells piled up at the US artillery positions will cause a chain reaction of explosions.

"Who is your commander?"

Liu Hanqing asked with a frosty expression.

“This gentleman from China, I think we can have a good talk.”

A U.S. Army artillery major stepped forward reluctantly and said.

"If I hit it, this place will become a blazing graveyard within a minute."

"I'll give you ten seconds to think. You need to issue the order to surrender, including to the troops that are resisting our friendly forces' attack."

Liu Hanqing said succinctly.

"Damn it, Freeman shouldn't have withdrawn his last troops. This isn't my fault!"

"Alright, you win. I'll issue the surrender order right now!" The US artillery major was somewhat resentful, but looking at the gun barrels and rocket launchers, he had no choice but to agree.

"Prehistoric times, keep these prisoners under control."

"All of you in our company who know how to fire artillery, gather here! And the same goes for Comrade Xu Mumu's company, all of you who know how to fire artillery, come over here!"

Liu Hanqing gave the order.

"Yes!"

"That's what prehistoric people said immediately."

....................................

US 1st Brigade Command Post

"Sir, our frontline troops said they were about to take the lead, but suddenly the artillery support stopped!"

"The Chinese army took the opportunity to unleash its full firepower, inflicting heavy casualties on our troops."

"Our men charged forward at great cost, and are now engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat."

The chief of staff of the U.S. First Brigade said
"Fuck!!!"

"Why is this happening?"

"Why did the artillery fire suddenly stop? What are those artillerymen doing?!"

Colonel Freeman clenched his fist, slammed it on the table, and roared.

Having been through many battles, he knew very well that a break in artillery fire would give the Chinese army an opportunity to straf and kill.

This means that the number of soldiers who ultimately charge into melee combat will be greatly reduced, which could potentially affect the final outcome of the match.

"Sir, I was just about to tell you that our artillery battalion has been ambushed and we have lost contact with them."

The chief of staff of the US First Brigade said with a slight unease.

"what?!"

"How long has it been, and the Chinese army has already captured the artillery positions?"

"Besides, where did they get the extra troops? They can barely hold out!"

Colonel Freeman said, his eyes wide.

“Sir, I suspect the Chinese army may have planned this all along…”

"After all, their timing was too clever."

“You just transferred the artillery battalion and the garrison troops of the command post to the front line, and they launched a surprise attack directly.”

"That's what the chief of staff of the U.S. First Brigade said."

"This was premeditated?!"

"Oh no! How many men are left to guard the command post?"

Freeman suddenly realized something and quickly asked.

“Sir, you said that the main force of the guard company was transferred to the front line for support, so there are only seven or eight sentries left, and twenty or thirty necessary guards.”

"You don't need to worry. Our sentries are the most elite in the military and can definitely provide early warnings at the first moment."

"That's what the chief of staff of the U.S. First Brigade said."

"Bang! Bang! Bang..."

"boom!"

In an instant, gunshots and grenade explosions rang out outside the command post.

"Something's not right, why are the gunshots so close!"

Freeman immediately drew his pistol and said with a serious expression.

"Sir, run!!!"

"The elite Chinese troops have crept over and will soon reach this place!"

"Our men can hold out for another three minutes at most!"

At that moment, a U.S. Army lieutenant rushed over and said something.

"run?"

"Artillery support is gone, and the Chinese might even use those cannons to bombard us!"

"If we lose command, this battle is over!"

"Freeman said anxiously."

"Sir, two more telegrams!!!"

"The Chinese used their superior marksmanship to quickly eliminate the French, whose casualty rate had reached 90%, and they decided to surrender to the Chinese army!"

"In other words, Chipyong-ni has been completely captured by the Chinese army!"

"In addition, the British 27th Brigade will arrive at the battlefield in three hours!"

At that moment, a U.S. military staff officer rushed in with a telegram and said this.

"Fuck!!!"

"We were just one step away from defeating the Chinese 7th Steel Regiment and joining forces with the British 27th Brigade to defend Chipyong-ni!"

"The strategic advantage will then return to us, and we might even be able to launch a counterattack!!!"

Freeman felt a rush of blood to his head and almost fainted.

“Thump thump thump thump thump thump thump thump…………”

At that moment, a large-caliber machine gun outside the command post opened fire, but it was quickly silenced.

"Sir, if we don't leave now, the Chinese are going to break down the door!"

"There's a helicopter parked on the east side. We'll get on the helicopter ourselves!"

The chief of staff of the US 1st Brigade also drew his pistol and shouted.

"No!"

"Heading to the front lines, I want to rejoin my soldiers and personally command their retreat!!!"

Freeman yelled and started to walk out.

"Oh!"

At this moment, the door to the command post was successfully kicked open.

"Da da da da..."

Success made him so excited that his body trembled slightly, and he roared as he fired at the people inside.

Seven or eight U.S. military staff officers were unable to dodge in time and were immediately shot and fell down.

"Sir, watch out!!!"

At that moment, the chief of staff of the U.S. First Brigade stepped in front of Freeman, and a bullet immediately struck his shoulder.

Upon seeing this, Freeman immediately dragged the chief of staff out the back door of the command post, with half of their bodies already outside the door.

The two remaining surviving American soldiers quickly followed, firing their pistols as they went to provide cover.

"How could this happen! How could this happen!!!"

He successfully rolled behind cover, but when he pulled the trigger, he found that the submachine gun did not respond.

We've run out of bullets at this crucial moment!
He immediately reached for his waist, but the grenade was gone.

"Comrade Chenggong, don't be impulsive. We can always fight again next time!"

At that moment, a voice came from behind the successful team.

Before they could even break in, a veteran raised his gun, took down two American soldiers who were about to rush back to the command post, and shouted.

Having just succeeded, they were willing to risk their lives, launching a frenzied assault, breaking through and then continuing to break through.

They didn't care whether the nearby US troops had been cleared out, nor whether their teammates had caught up.

But will such a desperate struggle only result in running out of bullets and having to give up?
At this moment, the success felt like the same feeling and situation as that of the only soldier who rushed into the headquarters and was about to capture Man Guangzhi alive.

That soldier chose to give up, but success meant he was determined to fight to the death!
No bullets, but bayonets!

And fists, feet, and teeth!!!
This might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to achieve great things and bring honor to your family!

Give up my ass!

"next time!!?"

"I won't do it again! There aren't that many next times!!!"

"I'm a soldier of the 7th Steel Regiment, a soldier of the most elite unit of the Volunteer Army! How can I face my regimental commander if I go back like this!"

"I'd rather die on the front lines than live my whole life in regret!!!"

Success brought tears to his eyes. As he roared, he fixed his bayonet and charged madly toward Freeman, the commander of the US First Brigade, with red eyes.
