Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 173: Storming into Seoul, Establishing Merit and Achievements!
"General Quan, please give the order!"

"With you leading the charge, what does it matter if it's the US military? Let's fight!"

Looking at the spirited Quan Douguang, Lu Taijian shouted with equal fervor.

"Please give the order!"

The other South Korean officers looked at Jeon Doo-kwang with burning eyes, their hearts filled with the determination to die for those who understood them.

"it is good!"

"Only when we officers are not afraid of the US military can the soldiers below us eliminate their fear of the US military!"

"I will personally lead the three elite regiments to attack the American garrison on the eastern front of Seoul!"

"Lu Taijian, you lead the elite Second Regiment toward the UN Command Headquarters!"

"Huang Yongshi, you lead an elite regiment toward Seoul Airport!"

"The artillery regiment will be split into three battalions, each assigned to one of the three regiments to provide fire support!"

Quan Douguang took a deep breath and said.

"Rest assured, General Jeon, I will fight to the death, capture Ridgway alive, and seize Seoul Airport!"

"The commander of the elite regiment, Huang Yongshi, said with a look of grim determination in his eyes."

"No no no!"

"You idiot, what are you thinking?!"

"Seoul Airport and Ridgway, your life and the lives of your soldiers are also important!"

"And Lu Taijian, don't be a fool and charge in!"

"All I need is for you to block their exits and prevent them from breaking up into smaller groups to fight in urban warfare!"

"After all, we now have a huge troop advantage, powerful firepower, and the elite assault capabilities of the Chinese army. Positional warfare is the most suitable for us!"

"Once urban warfare breaks out, the US military can make great use of their individual soldier quality advantages by breaking up into smaller units and dispersing."

"Most importantly, the main force of the US military will definitely return to reinforce, and we don't have time to waste."

Quan Douguang said with a very clear mind.

"General Quan is wise!"

"After you and the Chinese army have finished attacking the American forces east of Seoul, then you can support our offensive. This way, we can concentrate our superior forces!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Taijian's eyes lit up instantly, and he praised him.

"The one who is wise is not me, but that military genius named Wu Wanli."

"He foresaw everything that's happening now in the Seoul Winter Plan, and he also decided on the general direction of these countermeasures. I just made some minor changes."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing him again. What will I feel like then?"

"Alright, everyone go down and mobilize and get things moving. Speed ​​is of the essence in war!"

Quan Douguang was dazed for two seconds before drawing his pistol and walking out of the command post.

Seeing Chun Doo-kwang leading the charge, the South Korean officers present lost their last trace of fear and began to walk away.

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

The First Elite Regiment of the First Division of the Capital Division of South Korea
Upon hearing the emergency assembly call, the South Korean soldiers hurriedly assembled and lined up, looking at the full array of lights above them, momentarily unsure of what was happening.

"Soldiers!"

"My previous requisition of military supplies caused a large-scale riot among the people. After my investigation, I found that it was at the behest of President Syngman Rhee!"

"He seized upon our crackdown operation and informed U.S. Army Commander Ridgway!"

"According to the intelligence I secretly gathered, the US military, which touts so-called human rights, has decided to settle scores with us afterward, and may even decide to kill me. Should we just surrender?!"

Knowing that time was of the essence, Jeon Doo-kwang got straight to the point.

Upon hearing this, the South Korean soldiers below erupted in a frenzy, their emotions running high.

South Korean soldiers today generally have low levels of education, and their personality cult of Chun Doo-kwang has reached its peak.

No one doubted that Chun Doo-kwang, who treated his soldiers like his own children, was lying; on the contrary, they were indignant at the US military, which had always looked down on and bullied the South Korean army.

"Ah Xiba!"

"The US military has done far more and more ruthlessly and oppressive things against the people, so why should they kill General Quan?!"

A South Korean military officer shouted.

"That's right! We only requisitioned goods from the wealthy; we didn't bully the poor at all!"

"While these American soldiers are looting, they're also targeting Korean girls. Why aren't they being killed?!"

A South Korean soldier below shouted angrily.

"Screw the US military, let's fight them to the death!"

"If it weren't for General Jeon, I would have died at Chosin Reservoir. I am loyal only to General Jeon. To hell with the American and South Korean forces!"

A South Korean military officer shouted.

"Kill all the American soldiers and save Kaka!"

"Kill all the American soldiers and save Kaka!"

"Kill all the American soldiers and save Kaka!"

Soon, as arranged in advance, such shouts began to resound throughout the military.

The South Korean soldiers, their blood boiling, joined in the shouting, their eyes burning as they gazed at the dazzling light above.

"To be honest, I have already contacted the Chinese military in advance, and our treatment and safety after we eliminate the US military will be guaranteed!"

"Gentlemen, if you are willing, follow me to the east of Seoul and assist the Chinese army in capturing the city!"

Seeing that the time was right, Quan Douguang informed the Han army of their escape route and then rallied them.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

With no worries about their rear, the South Korean soldiers shouted and waved their guns, their fighting spirit soaring.

At this moment, they were no longer cannon fodder for the alien race as a vassal army.

They were fighting for the leader who would lead them to a better life, and for their own destiny!

Seoul East Defense Line Positions
"Sir, why did you come to the front lines in person? It's too dangerous here!"

The U.S. Army captain saw the major arrive and quickly said something.

"Stop talking nonsense, what's going on now?"

The U.S. Army major looked at the U.S. soldiers on the position, who were covering their ears and remaining motionless, and asked.

"It seems like the Chinese army has an endless supply of artillery shells, and our soldiers are suffering heavy losses."

"It's not good to keep getting bombed like this. Why don't we send a company out to counterattack and see what's going on?"

A U.S. Army captain rubbed his ears, which were still sore from the shockwave, and offered some words of advice.

"Counterattack?"

"If the ammunition depot hadn't been blown up, I would have personally led a probing counterattack long ago!"

"But we are short of ammunition right now. If we launch a counterattack and get pushed back, our guns will become useless sticks."

"How's the air support we requested? We need to at least take out these artillery pieces."

The U.S. Army major snorted and said.

"Sir, the headquarters said that the timing of the Chinese army's attack was too coincidental. All the fighter jets were sent to the front line to carry out missions at the same time, and there were no fighter jets available to provide us with support."

The U.S. Army captain sighed and said.

"Boom!"

Another shell hit not far away, and the US major quickly lowered his head as a snowstorm covered him with the shockwave.

"Fuck!"

"What about troop support? At least send us some ammunition and supplies. We can't just keep being bombed like this, can we?"

"If an uninformed reporter came and saw this artillery suppression, they would think we were the Chinese army and they were the American army!"

The U.S. Army major angrily shook the snow off his cap and grabbed the U.S. Army captain next to him, cursing him.

"Sir, please calm down. General Ridgway has ordered the South Korean army to send at least one battalion of reinforcements to assist in the defense, along with a large amount of weapons and ammunition."

The U.S. Army captain quickly said.

"South Korean army? Hmph!"

"Let's use them to scout out the Chinese army's situation. They're just cannon fodder anyway!"

"If they dare to stand still, shoot them dead!"

The U.S. Army major thought of the South Korean army, which was on the verge of collapse, and sneered.

"Sir, the South Korean troops have arrived!"

"It was personally led by Chun Doo-kwang, commander of the 1st Division of the South Korean Capital Division. Would you like to meet them?" At this moment, a U.S. Army lieutenant hurriedly ran over and said.

"They came to provide support in person?"

"Hmph! It's a good thing the South Korean army still has officers who dare to fight!"

"Let's meet him. He's a major general, after all, with a higher rank than me. He deserves the respect he deserves."

"Captain Jack, you are now in command of the front lines!"

After saying this, the U.S. Army major crouched down and turned to leave.

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

Temporary command post of the 7th Steel Company outside the eastern defense line of Seoul

“Wukaka, according to our latest intelligence, Ridgway has taken a guard battalion to Seoul Airport to oversee operations.”

"The remaining battalion will remain at the command post, presumably to serve as a reserve force to support various locations."

"General Kaka has already dispatched two elite regiments, each with an artillery battalion, to block their exit."

"General Quan is personally leading a regiment to attack the American forces from both sides, and they are almost there now."

Moon Jae-yoon glanced at his watch and said.

"Seoul Airport... There are some real experts in the US military!"

"It seems my plan for the winter in Seoul has gone astray. General Jeon's encirclement and division strategy has been executed exceptionally well. However, how much longer do I expect the pincer attack to last?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wanli couldn't help but sigh.

"The pincer attack is expected to take place in ten minutes!"

"General Quan said he would lead a battalion of South Korean troops to pretend to provide support, but in reality he would suddenly launch a surprise attack on the US positions."

"At that time, the main force of the South Korean 3rd Regiment will launch an attack from the rear, while we will launch an attack from the front!"

Moon Jae-yoon said.

"Okay!"

"Americans are very different from us Asians in terms of physique and skin color, plus their uniforms are different, so there's absolutely no need to worry about friendly fire in a melee!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hanqing, who was standing nearby, immediately said excitedly.

"Company commander, I have some concerns. Let's try to defeat the American troops here as soon as possible and then go to support Seoul."

"After all, I'm always worried that the South Korean army might be overwhelmed when fighting the US military, especially when facing the US military alone."

Yu Congrong scratched his head and said.

"Yes, Company Commander. The South Korean army has a natural fear of the US military, and their firepower and individual soldier quality are also inferior. I'm always worried that they will be defeated."

Gao Daxing nodded in agreement.

"We are the First Division of the South Korean Capital Command, led by General Jeon, not those cannon fodder South Korean soldiers!"

Hearing this, Moon Jae-yoon felt somewhat displeased and spoke in broken Chinese.

He grew up in the East Asian Sinosphere and can speak Chinese, but he's not very proficient at it.

"Yu Congrong and Gao Daxing, don't say anything that's detrimental to unity!"

"Comrade, they only have military concerns and want to help you as soon as possible; they have no ill intentions."

Upon seeing this, Liu Hanqing quickly said...

"It's alright. It's normal for you to have these impressions after the Battle of Imjin River."

"In the Battle of Seoul, General Quan and Wu Kaka will surely become famous overnight, propelling the Capital Division and the Steel Seventh Company to the top of the Korean battlefield!"

"Wukaka, the moment the signal flare lights up is the time for the final assault!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Zaiyin replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I see."

"Yu Congrong, go down and tell the soldiers to prepare for the attack!"

Wu Wanli picked up a Thompson submachine gun and said.

"Yes!"

Yu Congrong said.

………………

Seoul East Defense Line Command
"General Quan, you actually came to provide support in person. You've really gone to a lot of trouble!"

The U.S. Army major sat in his chair and said with a smile.

"It's not hard work. The war is urgent, so it's only natural that I should take the lead."

"I have brought all the weapons and ammunition, which can be of great help to your army."

Quan Douguang stood to the side, also wearing a warm smile, and said.

"Good good!"

"However, there is one more thing that I need to trouble General Quan with. The Chinese army is constantly shelling, but the actual situation is hard to predict."

"General Quan, please lead your troops in a probing attack against the Chinese army. We will provide fire support from behind."

The U.S. Army major stretched and said with a hint of disdain.

"Ah Xiba!"

"Your army's tradition of using us as cannon fodder really hasn't changed, has it?"

Quan Douguang snorted coldly, suddenly feeling fortunate that he would soon no longer be a member of the South Korean army.

"What?!"

"Have you lost your mind? How dare you express your dissatisfaction!"

"I'll give you one more chance to say it again!"

Upon hearing this, the U.S. Army major jumped up and cursed.

"What do you want me to say?"

"Like Syngman Rhee, whose niece was humiliated, how could he still say 'Long live the friendship between the US and South Korea'?"

"You still want me to be the dog of you barbarians from the Americas!?"

"Yankees, times have changed!"

Quan Douguang drew his pistol, aimed it at the US Army major's chest, and pulled the trigger hard.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three gunshots rang out, and several sprays of blood spurted from the heart of the U.S. Army major.

He stared wide-eyed at Quan Douguang in disbelief, then collapsed into a pool of blood.

Outside, several American guards heard the commotion and immediately tried to rush in to check.

However, the South Korean soldiers outside were prepared and immediately picked up their submachine guns and opened fire.

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

After a series of gunshots, the American guards fell to the ground on the spot.

At the same time, South Korean soldiers everywhere fixed their bayonets and charged toward the American troops with shouts.

Many American soldiers were caught off guard and stabbed in the heart.

Seeing American soldiers being stabbed and falling into pools of blood, the fear in the hearts of the South Korean soldiers completely disappeared. After quickly eliminating the small number of American soldiers at the command post, they roared and charged toward the American front line.

At this moment, Quan Douguang rushed out with a bayonet in his left hand and raised a signal gun in his right hand, firing into the sky.

"call out--"

A splash of crimson shot straight into the sky, and the large mass of blood red instantly burst into dazzling light in the air.

Outside the US military position

"Comrades of the Seventh Steel Company, the time has come for the Party and the people to test us!"

"Charge into Seoul and achieve great deeds!"

Wu Wanli picked up his submachine gun, roared, and charged ahead towards the US military's eastern Seoul position.

"Drip drip drip drip drip drip—"

At this moment, the unique bugle call of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army resounded through the sky!
"Comrades, come after me!"

"Once we break through this defense line, the whole world will know that our Steel Seventh Company was the first to storm into Seoul!"

Liu Hanqing, also carrying a Garand rifle, followed Wu Wanli's charge with great enthusiasm.

"kill!"

Seeing their company commander and political instructor leading the charge, the remaining soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company were instantly energized and charged toward the eastern front of Seoul with bloodshot eyes.
