Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 24 Three-on-Three Tactical Charge!
"boom!"

With a crisp gunshot, the tracer bullet streaked across the night sky like a meteor, its hot tail flames trailing behind it as it plunged into the explosive charge.

"boom!!!"

In a flash of light, the TNT in the explosive charge was ignited, emitting a deafening roar as flames and thick smoke intertwined in an instant.

The raging machine gun fire came to an abrupt halt, and parts of the M1919 heavy machine gun were blasted into the air by the shockwave before falling heavily back down.

All that remained on the spot were charred remains, blood clots, and gun fragments.

The main firepower point of the US military was thus destroyed by Wu Wanli!
"Wu Wanli, well done!"

Looking at the American positions that had instantly fallen silent, Baron gave a thumbs-up in praise.

Initially, Baron intended to use a mortar to destroy the firing point.

But even if the mortars perfectly destroy it, the position of the artillery crew will be exposed, making it easy for the US military to counter-bomb it.

"Brother Balong, prepare for artillery cover, get ready to charge!"

"Brother Pinghe, the American devils' crossfire points are too much of a threat, so I'm asking you to snipe them!"

After taking a few grenades, Wu Wanli gave his instructions.

"Wanli, are you going to the front lines to fight?"

Pinghe paused for a moment, then asked hesitantly.

"That's right, Wanli, your marksmanship is more than enough to snipe enemy soldiers!"

Seeing this, Balong also offered words of advice out of concern.

Wu Wanli was indeed a sharpshooter, but it was his first time fighting a war, and he was going to the front lines amidst gunfire. Both Balong and Pinghe were somewhat worried about him.

"Rifles can't destroy US heavy machine guns. Even if you snipe the machine gunner and temporarily interrupt the Fire Serpent, a second machine gunner will immediately take over!"

"As for the mortars, they should withdraw immediately after providing one round of artillery cover. The American artillery is probably waiting to retaliate..."

Wu Wanli thought about the original plot and couldn't help but offer a reminder.

In the original storyline, the mortars had only fired two rounds before being wiped out by the US recoilless rifles.

Wu Wanli was unwilling to risk using the scarce mortars, so he decided to fight his way out using his airbursts and sharpshooters.

"it is good!"

"Comrade Wu Wanli, take care!"

Baron glanced at the scarce mortars and reluctantly agreed.

Pinghe remained silent, but nodded emphatically and gave Wu Wanli a standard military salute.

"See you after I blow up the signal tower!"

Wu Wanli uttered a single sentence and then plunged headlong into the wind and snow descending the mountain.

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

Outside the first line of defense of the signal tower
The soldiers of the Sixth Company were suppressed by American firepower and still could not break through.

"Company commander, we can't keep charging like this, or we'll all be wiped out!"

A soldier with a bullet wound in his arm offered words of comfort through tears.

"No matter what, we must complete the tasks assigned by the Party organization!"

"Those who are afraid of dying, get out of here! I'll charge!"

Company Commander Ji Chungeng's eyes filled with tears as he spoke resolutely.

He felt sorry for his comrades, but he could not give up moving forward just because he was afraid of sacrificing himself.

"Company commander! The American devils' main firing point has been destroyed!"

"We should have reinforcements from other units coming to our aid!"

At this moment, another soldier pointed up the mountain and reminded him.

"Reinforcements...they've really arrived!"

Ji Chungeng murmured as he looked behind him, and was instantly overjoyed.

He just happened to see Wu Wanli's figure rushing down the mountain and joining the ranks of the fire support platoon.

Firepower Platoon
"Wanli, didn't I tell you to snipe?"

"What are you doing here on the front lines? Go back!"

Wu Qianli feigned anger and lightly kicked Wu Wanli, reprimanding him.

"Brother, I know you're worried about me, but the mortars and snipers are all up on the mountain. The American devils will definitely use their hidden artillery fire to attack, so it's not necessarily safe!"

"Besides, I'm sure I can play a big role on the front lines, just you wait and see!"

Wu Wanli looked at the American troops in the distance, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

"Alright, take this submachine gun!"

"And... be careful on the battlefield!"

"Comrades, once the artillery fire starts, charge forward immediately using the three-by-three tactic!"

Wu Qianli patted Wu Wanli on the shoulder, then gave orders to the soldiers.

"Yes, sir!" the soldiers of the fire support platoon responded loudly, quickly forming groups of three and silently waiting for the arrival of artillery cover.

"call out--"

In an instant, several small black dots streaked across the night sky and hurtled toward the American positions.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With a deafening explosion, several mushroom clouds rose into the air, and the flames illuminated half the sky.

Before the American soldiers could react, they were blown away by the explosion, their bodies instantly cut and disintegrated by the shrapnel.

The others, fearing for their lives, lay prone in the trenches, not daring to show their faces for a moment, causing a pause in the American firepower on the position.

"Comrades, follow me and charge!"

Wu Qianli suddenly stood up, roared, grabbed his Sten submachine gun, and charged out first.

"kill!"

Wu Wanli roared and charged out, carrying his submachine gun.

Meanwhile, Yu Congrong, positioned slightly behind, was providing fire support by firing a Type 96 machine gun to suppress the American positions.

The other fire support platoons were also operating in a similar three-by-three formation, charging towards the right flank of the American position.

The three-three tactic, as the name suggests, revolves around the concept of "three." Offense involves advancing and attacking, cover involves helping the attacking comrades advance, and support mainly involves filling in the gaps.

In combat, offense and cover are not static; they alternate as the battle situation changes.

The division of labor was roughly as follows: one group attacked, one group provided cover, and one group provided support.

On the other side, the soldiers of the Sixth Company also launched a tacit attack on the left side of the American position.

Taking advantage of the moment when the American troops were confused, Wu Wanli, Wu Qianli, and Yu Congrong quickly rushed to within a few dozen meters of the American position.

However, at this moment, the American troops on the position came to their senses and began firing their guns.

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

The M1919 heavy machine gun on the right flank of the US forces roared again, and the fire snakes formed by countless bullets pressed down on the firing platoon, preventing it from raising its head.

Wu Wanli had just peeked out from behind the bunker and fired a burst of bullets when he was immediately suppressed by American fire.

Bullets struck the cover, raising dust, and boulders hit my head, causing a slight pain.

"Company commander, the American devils' heavy machine guns are too much of a threat, we can't get close enough!"

Yu Congrong was also suppressed at this time, and shouted loudly towards Wu Qianli in front of him.

"Wanli, can we knock it down?"

Wu Qianli turned his head and shouted to Wu Wanli, who was not far away.

"Provide me with covering fire!"

Wu Wanli loaded the submachine gun, then switched back to his rifle, preparing to snipe.

"it is good!"

Wu Qianli and Yu Congrong agreed in unison, and risked their lives to get up and fire at the American machine gun positions.

"Shit!"

The American machine gunner cursed and ducked his head into the trench to take cover.

After Wu Qianli and Yu Congrong finished firing their bursts, he peeked out again to fire a suppressive shot, completely unaware that Wu Wanli's gun was already aimed at him.

"boom!"

Wu Wanli pulled the trigger hard, and the bullet spun at high speed, piercing the American machine gunner's head, a pool of blood staining the machine gun barrel.

Near the machine gun, an American soldier cursed under his breath and quickly took over the position of machine gunner.

After firing a shot, Wu Wanli quickly pulled out two grenades, bit off the pins, counted a few times, and threw them hard at the American machine gun position.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two grenades landed in mid-air above the machine gun position and exploded instantly, engulfing the position in flames and sending countless shrapnel fragments flying like flowers.

"what!"

An American soldier screamed and coughed up blood.

He struggled to lift his head and look around, only to find that there were corpses everywhere. He was actually the only one in the machine gun emplacement who wasn't completely dead!
"Continue to provide cover fire!"

Wu Wanli roared and charged toward the American position, carrying his Sten submachine gun.

"Wu Wanli! You're insane!"

"Comrades, cover Wu Wanli!"

Wu Qianli cursed loudly and immediately gave the order.

Immediately, the soldiers of the artillery platoon stood up and fired all the bullets in their guns as if they didn't care about the cost.

The American troops on the position were also shocked by this reckless fighting style, and for a moment they were unwilling to risk their lives for each other, so they temporarily stopped firing.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wu Wanli, who had a superhuman agility bonus, rushed up to the American position, picked up his submachine gun, and jumped directly into the trench of the American position.
