Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 54: Annihilation of the Polar Bear Regiment! Permanent God-like Marksmanship Bonus!

"Seventh Steel Company, general offensive begins! Prepare to charge!"

"Dad Lei, artillery support!"

Wu Qianli roared.

"Brother, Yu Congrong, it'll still be the three of us later!"

"You provide cover! I'll be the spearhead!"

Wu Wanli suddenly pulled the bolt of his submachine gun and shouted loudly.

"it is good!"

Yu Congrong nodded emphatically, agreeing without any surprise.

"Alright! Let me show you how arrogant you can be!"

Wu Qianli smiled slightly, suppressing his worries, and agreed.

"Artillery platoon! Mortars ready!"

Upon hearing the bugle call, Lei Gong immediately shouted excitedly.

"Yes!"

The artillerymen opened the ammunition boxes, preparing to fire the shells.

"Dad Lei, the temperature is too low, the cavity is frozen and shrinking!"

A soldier in the artillery platoon stared wide-eyed and shouted anxiously.

"Pee on it!"

"Once you survive the first round of bombardment, you'll be hot from the heat!"

Lei Gong frowned and shouted.

"Yes!"

Soon, the soldiers in the artillery platoon did as instructed, and the cannon barrel finally returned to normal.

"No need to hold them back, beat them hard!"

"When we're all out of ammo, let's charge with the main force of the Seventh Steel Company!"

"dinner time!"

Lei Gong waved his hand and roared.

"Bang bang bang—"

The crisp sound of the mortar firing pin rang out, a flash of light appeared at the muzzle, and a cloud of white smoke dissipated.

At the same time, artillery fire also broke out from the 80th Division of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, which was attached to the 242nd Regiment of the 81st Division.

"Shhhhh-"

The shells ripped through the sky and whistled as they hurtled toward the American positions.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With a deafening explosion, a blinding flash of light instantly illuminated the night sky.

In an instant, dirt and stones flew everywhere, and dust billowed, as if the whole world was trembling.

The barbed wire and fortifications surrounding the US forces were directly blasted flat, and the artillery fire extended to the US infantry positions behind them.

Under the heavy artillery fire, the US troops dared not expose themselves to fire; at most, they could only raise their guns above their heads and engage in "religious firing."

"Comrades of the Seventh Steel Company!"

"For the new China, for the Party and the people!"

"Come at me!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Qianli suddenly stood up and roared as he charged toward the American positions below.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company, guns in hand, roared as they charged down the mountain, like a pack of tigers descending the mountain, their momentum overwhelming.

At first, due to lying in ambush in the snow for too long, the soldiers' legs experienced poor blood circulation and some numbness.

However, encouraged by the bugle call, the soldiers charged faster and faster, and their discomfort gradually disappeared.

"Ding--"

"The system has detected that the host is facing a battlefield situation. Activation selected!"

"Option 1: Carry out a bloody path with seven consecutive steel-clad attacks, break through two lines of American defense, storm the Polar Bear Regiment's command post, and personally kill the Polar Bear Regiment Commander!"

"Choose Reward 1: God-level Agility Bonus (Permanent)!"

"Choose Reward 2: Super God-level Power Boost Experience Card!"

"Choose Reward 3: Superb Night Vision Ability Experience Card!"

"Option Two: As the spearhead of the Seventh Steel Company, break through the US military defenses, storm the Polar Bear Regiment's command post, capture the Polar Bear Regiment's commander alive, and use him to wear down the US military's will to resist, causing some US troops to surrender!"

"Choose Reward 1: God-like Gun Skill Reward (Permanent)!"

"Choose Reward 2: Super God-Level Luck Boost Experience Card!"

"Choose Reward 3: God-level Agility Boost Trial Card!"

At that moment, the system's cold notification sound rang out.

"What's the point of killing the polar bear commander! It wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't come!"

"I choose option two! Capture them alive! Plus, demoralize the American devils!"

"Also, let's try to reduce the number of comrades who die in the Seventh Steel Company..."

As Wu Wanli charged forward, he made his decision without hesitation.

"Ding--"

"Host has made their selection. Rewards will be issued!"

The system's cold notification tone sounded again.

In an instant, Wu Wanli felt the icy numbness in his body disappear, and his charging speed immediately increased significantly.

And a bullet was about to hit Wu Wanli, but it grazed his left scalp.

"Come on!"

Wu Wanli roared and sped up, charging forward.

The scenery around him flashed by like afterimages, and the howling wind stung his cheeks.

Wu Wanli slowed down after reaching a point where artillery fire had landed, panting heavily, but continued running forward.

"Wanli! Are you out of your mind?!"

Wu Qianli finally caught up and shouted loudly.

"Charge forward while braving the gunfire, so you won't be suppressed by the American devils' firepower!"

"Even if we have to run 50 meters less, we must make up for it with the sacrifice of countless comrades during the attack!"

Wu Wanli turned to Wu Qianli and said.

"Wanli, with the pressure so tight, you could easily get blown up!"

Yu Congrong also shouted with a worried expression.

"Isn't this... almost a success?!"

Wu Wanli looked at the American circular defensive position ahead, raised his gun, and laughed.

At this point, the artillery fire had spread further back.

Within the circular defensive position

A U.S. machine gunner shook his head, the first to shake off the dizziness, and quickly reached for his machine gun.

"Da da da……"

Wu Wanli lowered the muzzle of his gun slightly and fired a burst.

"puff……"

With a muffled thud as the bullet pierced flesh, the American machine gunner's vision went black as his body slammed against the heavy machine gun, killing him instantly.

Upon seeing this, the American soldiers nearby immediately abandoned their machine guns, picked up their bazookas, and prepared to fire in Wu Wanli's direction.

"Da da da……"

Wu Wanli fired another burst of shots, accurately killing the American soldier.

"Damn it! There's a Chinese sharpshooter over there!"

"Take care of him first!"

A U.S. Army sergeant picked up his submachine gun, fired a burst, and roared.

"Grass!"

Wu Wanli yelled and ran quickly to the side, the burst of bullets following him all the way until he took cover.
At this moment, the American troops inside the fortifications noticed Wu Wanli and opened fire, the dense bullets suppressing Wu Wanli so that he could not even show his face.

Countless bullets struck his bunker, and small boulders that exploded hit his head, causing him a slight pain.

"Wanli, I'll provide cover fire!"

"You American devil, I'll fuck your mother!"

Yu Congrong raised his machine gun, made a sudden stop during the charge, and fired at the American position.

The barrage of bullets killed two or three American soldiers on the spot and temporarily pinned them down.

"good chance!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Wanli quickly rushed towards the American position, simultaneously pulling out a grenade in each hand, quickly biting open the pins, and throwing them towards the American position.

"What?"

Just as several American soldiers were about to resurface and fire, they saw a small black dot with white smoke billowing in the air flying towards them.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two grenades exploded simultaneously in mid-air, and the scalding shrapnel instantly killed three or four American soldiers.

The explosion had barely finished, and the white smoke hadn't even completely dissipated when Wu Wanli, with his superhuman agility, had already rushed to the vicinity of the American fortifications.

"Merry Christmas!"

Wu Wanli jumped into the fortification, roared, and raised his gun to sweep the remaining American soldiers inside.

Before the American soldiers could even react, a burst of bullets flew over.

Even in death, they couldn't understand why Wu Wanli's charge was so fast.

Not long after, Wu Qianli and Yu Congrong also jumped into the fortifications and began shooting at American soldiers from another direction.

With the combined efforts of the three, the American soldiers inside the fortifications were all eliminated in just a minute or two. Wu Wanli, with lightning speed, tore a small hole in the American defenses!

"Happy, happy!"

"Company Commander, I've said it before, we've fought against American-equipped divisions before!"

"It's just that their firepower is a bit strong; they'll still break through in no time!"

Yu Congrong looked at the American corpses inside the circular fortifications and said excitedly.

"That was the result of a long and arduous struggle!"

"I've heard Lao Tan say that this polar bear regiment of the American devils is formidable!"

"They fought in Siberia during World War I and in the Pacific War during World War II. They are America's absolute elite force and should not be underestimated!"

Wu Qianli, worried that Yu Congrong might be careless, quickly reminded him.

"Company Commander, you're right!"

"If it weren't for Wanli, it wouldn't have been so easy!"

"Yeah! Wanli, how come you run so fast!"

"If this were a military skills competition, you'd have to come in first place!"

"With Wanli here, shall we... continue our assault?"

Yu Congrong scratched the back of his head and asked with a hearty laugh.

"No!"

"Breaking through the infantry lines means facing the US armored forces head-on!"

"There aren't enough of us!"

"What's more, the other comrades of the Seventh Steel Company are still being suppressed by the American devils' firepower!"

"Let's cross the trench and go help them!"

After a moment's thought, Wu Wanli shook his head and said.

"Wanli is right, this is the decisive battle, and our strength is not enough!"

"Even if it's enough, we can't leave any of our comrades behind!"

Wu Qianli nodded repeatedly in agreement.

In terms of the overall direction of the company, it was the right thing for him to make the decision.

However, when it comes to on-the-spot tactics, he is willing to listen to the vanguard.

"Let's go! Let's kill those American devils!"

After replenishing his ammunition and grenades, Wu Wanli left a message and charged toward the trench.

Upon seeing this, Wu Qianli and Yu Congrong quickly grabbed their submachine guns and followed.

They passed through the trenches to another ring-shaped defensive fortification, which was suppressing the attack of Pinghe and his men.

Outside the fortifications

The three reconnaissance platoons, arranged in a triangular formation, launched several attacks on the American positions, but all were repelled by American firepower, leaving behind several corpses.

The fortifications here are relatively large, and they are equipped with three machine guns.

Furthermore, the US military did not construct fortifications using sandbags.

They all hid in the dug circular trenches, only sticking out half their heads to aim and fire.

Meanwhile, the volunteer soldiers could only charge forward with their entire bodies exposed, putting them at a significant disadvantage in the battle.

"Platoon leader, the American devils' firepower is too strong! Comrades, we've charged so many times, but we just can't break through!"

"They have three machine guns. If you shoot one down, the other two will come and suppress you."

"Then the new US troops can quickly fill the machine gunner positions!"

"It was Wu Jin, a soldier in the reconnaissance platoon, who shouted."

"Look at that ring-shaped fortification over there, it's already shut down!"

"what does that mean?"

"Company Commander Wanli and Yu Congrong, just three men broke through!"

"Can't our three combat teams, nine men in total, break through?"

Pinghe shouted somewhat unwillingly.

"Platoon leader, let alone Company Commander Yu Congrong, even if Wang Ergou and I followed Wanli, we could break through!"

"That's a tough guy who shot down an American plane and jumped into an American trench all by himself!"

Wu Jin, a soldier in the reconnaissance platoon, said urgently.

"Given Wanli's personality, he's probably already advanced deep into enemy territory..."

"Fine, then let me be the sharpest blade!"

"Provide me with cover fire! I'll take out those three machine guns in one go. You guys just charge in and don't worry about me!"

A resolute glint flashed in Pinghe's eyes as he spoke.

"Platoon leader!"

Wu Jin, a soldier in the reconnaissance platoon, felt a pang of pain in his heart and shouted.

With Pinghe's marksmanship, he certainly had a chance to quickly take down the three machine guns.

However, the time it took for him to take three shots also meant that he had no chance to retreat back to cover.

"Charge! We must charge! Otherwise, our blood will not have been shed in vain!"

"Excuting an order!"

Pinghe roared loudly.

"Yes!"

"Provide fire support for the platoon leader!"

With tears in her eyes, Wu Jin raised the light machine gun and opened fire on the American fortifications.

The three combat teams opened fire simultaneously, raining down bullets on the American positions.

The U.S. military opened fire simultaneously from three machine guns, sweeping towards the soldiers' positions, the flashes of gunfire particularly conspicuous.

"Bang! Bang!"

Pinghe immediately raised his gun and fired two shots in quick succession.

In an instant, both machine guns fell silent.

The American troops inside the fortifications reacted instantly, all pointing their guns at Pinghe.

"Wanli, the prosperous era you spoke of, I won't live to see it..."

Pinghe muttered to himself, making no attempt to dodge, but instead, with a death wish, he raised his gun and aimed it at the last machine gun.

"Boom! Boom!"

In an instant, two red lights burst forth on the U.S. military's circular defensive fortifications.

The scalding shrapnel exploded like a shower of flowers, instantly killing several American soldiers inside the fortification.

"Fuck you!"

"Chinese troops have breached the fortifications next door and are storming in!"

A U.S. Army sergeant was the first to react and shouted.

The other American soldiers were stunned by the bomb. Upon hearing this, they quickly gripped their guns and turned towards the direction from which the bomb had been thrown.

"Screw the Polar Bear Gang!"

Wu Wanli raised his submachine gun and charged clockwise through the fortifications while firing.

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

Bullets bounced merrily inside the bunker, piercing the chests of American soldiers and blooming into flowers of blood!
"Screw American imperialism!"

Wu Qianli also roared and began firing counter-clockwise.

"To hell with the US military's fighting capacity! How come they're all dead at once!"

"I haven't fired a single shot this round!"

Yu Congrong followed behind, looking up at the sky and roaring in frustration.

By this time, the American forces inside the fortifications had been cleared out.

Without suppressive fire, Pinghe quickly led his men over and joined up with Wu Wanli and the others.

"Company Commander, Lao Yu, Wanli, thank you all so much!"

"Without you, I don't know how many more comrades would have fallen."

Pinghe looked at Wu Wanli with emotion, tears welling up in her eyes, and said.

"Pinghe! Don't think I didn't see you!"

"You were out there sniping for so long, were you out of your mind?!"

"I don't want to lose one of my best platoon leaders because of a battle!"

Wu Qianli slammed a heavy punch into Pinghe's chest, scolding him.

"Company commander, don't worry, I'm tough as nails!"

"However, I did think that after you finished fighting, you would continue your attack, so I..."

Pinghe forced a smile and said.

"This is my brother!"

"You're my brother too!"

"All the soldiers of the Steel Seventh Company are my brothers!"

"How could I possibly leave you all behind..."

Wu Wanli pointed at Wu Qianli, Pinghe, and the soldiers present, and slowly spoke.

"Ten thousand miles..."

Pinghe's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and she hugged Wu Wanli tightly, choking back sobs.

"Don't cry, tears...tears will freeze too..."

Wu Wanli quickly wiped away the tears and ice crystals on his face and said.
