Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 254 I, Wu Wanli, command four divisions, fear not those tens of thousands of American troops?!
"Commander-in-Chief, the US amphibious assault has begun!"

"A dense swarm of landing craft is rushing toward the beach; there must be at least several hundred of them!"

"Based on carrying capacity, the first wave of American troops to land and charge will consist of several thousand elite soldiers and dozens of tanks!"

"Large numbers of armored units and infantry advanced in a combined arms manner, along with extended bombardment by large-caliber naval guns!"

"The US military mobilized a total of 30,000 elite troops for this battle; they're a tough nut to crack..."

Liu Hanqing said.

"Elite?"

"I'm fighting the elite!"

"Now that I command four divisions, what do I have to fear from tens of thousands of American troops?!"

"Has the main force of the Ninth Division entered the hilly fortress complex yet?"

Wu Wanli straightened his military overcoat, his eyes fixed fearlessly on the strategic map, and asked with high spirits.

"Everything is ready!"

"Yu Congrong, along with the artillery battalion, temporarily took over command of the entire Ninth Division of the Chaoyang Military Region, except for the division level, as an instructor."

"Now, from the squad level to the regimental level, everyone in the Ninth Division is our instructor and political commissar."

"I heard that some people in the army are already calling Yu Congrong 'Little Division Commander'."

Liu Hanqing smiled.

"I don't even need to guess, the one who's so good at calling out must be Comrade Chenggong, right?"

Wu Wanli smiled as he lit a cigar, observing the dynamic Sky Eye map in his mind.

At this time, a large number of American soldiers and tanks had already landed on the beach.

Nearly thirty tanks lined up in a row, followed by nearly a thousand American soldiers who advanced with their bodies low to the ground.

However, they were still too far from the hill fortress complex to fire immediately.

"Yes, Comrade Chenggong even said privately that you now have more soldiers than the commander."

"The only drawback is that most of them are North Korean soldiers, not Chinese soldiers."

Liu Hanqing smiled.

"Hahahaha...this official-obsessed person."

"When the chief of staff of the US First Brigade who was beheaded talked to me before, he even said that he wanted to follow me to the battlefield!"

"Now that he's at the Ninth Division, he's been given a position as a regimental instructor. Let's see how well he performs."

“Tell the 9th Division that I only need them to hold out for eight hours.”

"Detonate the bomb eight hours later to destroy the fortifications!"

"Let some American soldiers die there, and they can use that as an opportunity to retreat."

Wu Wanli took a puff of his cigar, exhaled a few wisps of white smoke, and gave the order with an air of authority.

"Yes!"

"Wanli, you are increasingly showing the qualities of a great general."

Looking at Wu Wanli's imposing figure in his military overcoat, Liu Hanqing couldn't help but sigh.

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

In the distance from Incheon Beach, there is a cluster of hilly fortresses.
The hills are not as majestic and tall as large mountain ranges; they are more like a series of small hills that stretch together.

Machine gun bunkers, large enough to extend outwards and fire cannons, were dug into these connected hillsides.

Apart from the fact that the Nantianmen fortification is not deep enough in terms of depth and the mountain firepower is insufficient, it is not much inferior in other aspects.

Hidden observation and command cave halfway up the mountain
"Instructor Yu, the American troops are getting closer and closer. Should we open fire?"

"I asked with a smile," said Lin Zhengshun, commander of the Ninth Division of the Chaoyang Military Region.

He doesn't care about his current command position; as long as he wins, he'll have a chance to be promoted to commander!

"The name 'Instructor Yu' sounds awful. Just call me Instructor Yu from now on."

Yu Congrong didn't even glance at Lin Zhengshun before speaking directly.

"This is!"

"I will follow Master Yu's arrangements!"

Lin Zhengshun was slightly taken aback, then quickly shouted loudly.

It's just a temporary title, it won't really be swallowed up. Even if Yu Congrong were to stay in the Korean army as a division commander, he himself would dislike it.

"Fire!"

Seeing that Lin Zhengshun was so obedient, Yu Congrong immediately waved his hand and gave the order.

He just asked Yu Shi not to seek empty fame, but to see if Lin Zhengshun was truly willing to follow his orders.

If the two people become stubborn and cause frequent changes in orders, Yu Congrong would rather let Lin Zhengshun take command of the whole process himself.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengshun immediately agreed and turned to relay the order.

Soon, all the fortresses received the order and opened fire instantly.

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

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

In an instant, dozens of machine gun firing ports flashed with gunfire, and a torrent of bullets roared out.

From Wu Wanli's vantage point, the density of bullets fired was reminiscent of the massive barrage from anti-aircraft towers in Berlin.

American soldiers who did not keep up with the tanks during the charge were hit by bullets, blood splattering as they fell to the ground.

"Shit!"

"Stay close to the tanks, move closely behind them, don't spread out too much, the tank armor can't cover that wide!"

"US Army Commander Paul shouted."

"Stay behind the tanks, advance in close formation, and ensure armored cover!!"

Other U.S. military officers shouted loudly.

Soon, the well-trained American soldiers crowded towards the rear of the tanks.

Bullets flew past from both sides, forcing the American troops to keep their positions tightly packed and not daring to spread out even slightly.

"Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang..."

Soon, all the bullets fired from the fortress hit the front row of dozens of American tanks, making a crisp sound.

Inside the headquarters
Seeing this through his clairvoyance, Wu Wanli seemed to understand what Yu Congrong was up to.

After observing the battle formation of the US warships at sea through the Sky Eye, Wu Wanli instantly came up with a plan.

"The Air Force took off, and the first batch of tanks pretended to bomb the American beachhead, trying to attract American carrier-based aircraft to engage them."

"The second wave of fighter jets bypassed from the west and headed straight for the American landing ships."

"Destroying a small transport ship is equivalent to killing dozens of American soldiers!"

Wu Wanli waved his hand.

In his previous life, he had participated in beach landings while playing Call of Duty, and the density of troops on warships left no room for error.

One bomb would wipe them all out.

The U.S. Navy's warships with air defense capabilities are located far behind, while large transport ships are positioned in front.

The large transport ship kept sending out small ships one after another, like laying eggs.

It is estimated that the US military felt that it was impossible to be threatened at sea, so it was not on guard at all.

"What!?"

"Wanli, are we going to take out the American forces at sea? This wasn't mentioned in the original plan."

Liu Hanqing's eyes widened, his heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Wu Wanli and said.

"The overall plan is the general strategic policy, but the battlefield situation changes in real time. Trust my judgment."

"But we can't be greedy. We have to retreat immediately after launching a strike, otherwise the air force won't be able to get back."

Wu Wanli said.

"Okay, only you and I would believe that!"

Looking at Wu Wanli's determined eyes, Liu Hanqing gritted his teeth and went down to relay the order.

………………

Incheon Beach

"Hahahahaha..."

"They thought the Chinese were so powerful, but now that we're hiding behind tanks, they can't do anything to us!"

"A U.S. Army sergeant said dismissively."

"Nonsense, what skills do the Chinese have?!"

"If it weren't for our votes for 'Little Boy' and 'Fat Man,' China would still be Japanese territory!"

"These ungrateful wretches! We helped them defeat the Japanese, and they still come to oppose us!"

Another American soldier snorted and said contemptuously.

This is a common view among many Americans, who believe that the United States saved China.

But in reality, if the United States hadn't been selling raw materials to Japan's military industry, Japan, that barren and dilapidated island nation, would have been unable to continue fighting long ago!

"call out--------"

In an instant, the whistling of shells rang out, and countless mortar shells landed behind the tank.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..." Deafening explosions rang out, and countless flames rose from the densely packed American troops.

A single barrage of artillery fire instantly claimed the lives of over three hundred American soldiers.

"Fuck!!!"

"Speed ​​up, speed up and charge forward! Kill all these damned Chinese!"

Upon seeing this, U.S. Army Commander Paul roared angrily.

"Rumble————"

The tank engines roared louder and their speed increased, providing cover for the remaining infantry as they charged upwards.

Command Post of Hill Fortress Complex

"Getting closer... Fire a smoke grenade!"

"Then let Chenggong lead the commando team to take out these American tanks with bazookas."

Yu Congrong said.

"Commander Yu, Commander Wu is going to send the air force over. Should we just hold our ground and defend to the death?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhengshun immediately handed the telegram to Yu Congrong and asked him about it.

"No, there's not enough time."

"It will only be useful when the second wave of American troops arrives. Go quickly."

Yu Congrong waved his hand and said.

"Yes!"

Lin Zhengshun immediately agreed.

The order was quickly relayed.

A large number of smoke grenades landed on the American tanks, and smoke instantly rose up.

"You idiot, you stay there and don't go anywhere. I'll take some men with me."

"You're too stubborn and inflexible; you'll lose your life."

He successfully pushed Xu Mumu back into the fortifications, and said.

"Brother Chenggong, I can go..."

Xu Mumu said.

"You're now the deputy instructor of the regiment, do you know what that means?"

"Our Seventh Steel Regiment is now equivalent to a large officer corps!"

"I'm afraid you won't be a good officer and will just treat yourself like a soldier and blow things up!"

"I knew it was for this reason that Commander Wu set up the sergeant school and brought all the members of the 7th Steel Regiment into the military academy."

"Commander Wu is a man of great foresight, thinking three steps ahead for every one step he takes. I must become like him in the future!"

"I won't forget you once I've made my move, just listen to me."

“We’re from the same hometown and childhood friends, I wouldn’t hurt you.”

After saying this, Chenggong patted Xu Mumu on the shoulder, then resolutely turned and left with his men.

"Fellow villager, childhood friend..."

"Brother Chenggong, take care!"

Xu Mumu watched Chenggong disappear into the distance and shouted loudly.

……

"Why don't you bring the Wu hook and charge Guanshan Fifty States?"

"Please ascend the Lingyan Pavilion for a moment, for which scholar has ever become a marquis of ten thousand households..."

Success silently recited the poem in his heart, watching the tanks in the distance exude a murderous aura.

Lingyan Pavilion!
Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!
Who says you have to be a scholar? I can succeed even if I were just a peasant soldier!
With a strong desire to achieve great things, Chenggong waved and made a few tactical hand gestures.

Soon, the commando team split into small squads and charged toward the American tanks.

Under the cover of smoke grenades, the assault team managed to get close to the tank.

"Da da da da da..."

In an instant, the tank's machine gun roared to life again, and a hail of bullets killed the two assault team members instantly.

Bai Gangjun instinctively wanted to take out his personal medicine and bandages to save the person, but he was successfully stopped.

Successfully pointed at the tank, frowned, and shook his head.

"Commander Chenggong, could you please look after my one-year-old baby back home?!"

Bai Gangjun, his eyes red with anger, saw his comrade lying dead on the ground, picked up his submachine gun, and charged toward the left side of the tank.

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

Bai Gangjun fired at American tanks as he ran, his bloodshot eyes filled with a death wish.

He was the most inconspicuous soldier in the first company of the firepower battalion. Apart from being good at bandaging and first aid, his combat ability was the worst in the entire company.

But at this moment, he was willing to risk his life to make a difference for the entire company.

Sure enough, the tank's attention was quickly drawn to the White Steel Army, and its machine guns opened fire instantly.

Bai Gangjun barely dodged half a burst of machine gun bullets, but the next second he saw the dark muzzle of a tank.

"boom!!!"

The next second, deafening cannon fire rang out.

In his final moments, Bai Gangjun only saw a burst of red flames before his body was blasted to pieces.

Taking advantage of the precious time gained by Bai Gangjun, Chenggong has already approached the flank of the tank.

He immediately picked up his bazooka and fired the rocket.

"boom!!!"

The rocket penetrated the tank's side armor at close range, went straight in, and exploded.

Soon, the shells inside the tank were also detonated.

The entire tank was destroyed in the series of explosions.

The two American soldiers behind the tank realized they had succeeded and immediately raised their guns to fire.

However, the assault team soldiers behind them had already picked up their submachine guns and killed the two American soldiers.

"Use machine guns to force American infantry to squeeze behind tanks, and then mortars to blow up these infantry."

"Ultimately, the tanks, now without the protection of a large number of infantry, were destroyed. It's a chain reaction."

Watching the American soldiers being mowed down behind the tanks, Chenggong suddenly realized something.

He always aimed to become a general, so he had a habit of summarizing the strengths of various officers in command.

"Reporting to the regimental commander, all tank targets have been destroyed!"

At that moment, a soldier ran up and said.

"withdraw."

Successfully glanced at the sparsely populated team members, felt a pang of sympathy, and ordered a retreat.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the assault soldiers quickly followed in the footsteps of success.

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz————"

Just as they were retreating, the roar of Chinese fighter jets rapidly approached from behind.

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

In the operations conference room aboard the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier

"More than a thousand elite troops from the US 1st Marine Division, plus thirty tanks, just like that, gone?!"

Lieutenant General Thomas laughed in exasperation and asked angrily.

"General, this was just an accident!"

"They're like turtles, only good for hiding in the shells of those hilly fortresses!"

"Moreover, they are cunning and daring to use any kind of trick!"

"The second wave of landing troops is advancing; this time, we will definitely not lose!"

Brigade Commander Miller assured him.

"Hopefully."

Lieutenant General Thomas snorted and said.

"General, this is bad!"

"The Chinese Air Force is advancing towards the beachhead; they're probably going to attack our infantry and tanks!"

"Brigade Commander Carter reported."

"They actually dared to come?"

"Even if we send some fighter jets to the battlefield south of the Han River, our numbers will still be enough to overwhelm them!"

"Take off all carrier-based aircraft! Fire hard! Chase them down until they are completely annihilated!!!"

Lieutenant General Thomas, recalling the previous humiliation, roared angrily.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing this, Colonel Miller quickly agreed.
