Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 34 US Army: Tanks! They're reinforcements! Tank Company 7: ...

the other side

U.S. Army Captain Jack was leading two platoons of U.S. soldiers toward Leigong on the mountain to encircle him.

"Sir!"

"Chinese troops have entered the dense forest and could launch a counterattack at any time. Should we continue the pursuit?"

A U.S. Army sergeant reported to Jack.

"A counterattack? With the Chinese army's outdated firewood?"

"First and second platoons, surround them from the left and right sides, and we must annihilate all these Chinese!"

U.S. Army Captain Jack smiled dismissively and said.

"Yes, sir!"

The U.S. Army sergeant hesitated for two seconds, but finally agreed and went down to relay the message.

After the order was given, the already sparse US military even split up its forces to try to surround Lei Gong and his men.

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

In the mountains and forests

"Lei Gong, Instructor, the American devils have taken the bait!"

"You can start now!"

He Changgui smiled slightly and said.

"These American devils are even splitting their forces to launch a pincer attack, clearly aiming to annihilate us completely, aren't they afraid of overextending themselves!"

Mei Sheng looked at the two separated American troops and said.

"No rush, let's wait for the American devils to get closer before we attack!"

"It's better to break one finger than to injure ten. Let's take down one platoon of them first. After the gunfire, we'll feint an attack from the left and launch the main attack from the right!"

Lei Gong looked at the approaching American troops, a glint of shrewdness appearing in his eyes.

After the order was given, the soldiers of the Seventh Company lay prone on the spot and waited silently.

500 meters, 400 meters, 300 meters...

When the American troops pressed close to their limit, Lei Gong waved his hand, and the soldiers of the artillery platoon quickly loaded shells into the mortars and covered their ears.

"Bang bang bang..."

A series of crisp firing pins of mortars rang out, countless plumes of white smoke enveloped the mortar positions, and shells were blasted out.

"call out--"

The shrill roar of mortars pierced the sky, heading straight for the densely packed American troops.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A deafening explosion rang out, and flames erupted in an instant, engulfing the unsuspecting American troops.

Some American soldiers were killed instantly, their flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Some American soldiers had their arms, legs, or even half their bodies blown off, lying on the ground howling in pain and begging for help.

"beat!"

Lei Gong roared and, wielding a Type 96 light machine gun, opened fire on the American troops.

In an instant, gunfire erupted from the once peaceful forest, and whistling bullets claimed the lives of more than a dozen American soldiers.

"Comrades, three-three formation, follow me!"

After firing the first round of fire, Mei Sheng grabbed a Sten submachine gun and charged to the front, shouting.

During World War II, whenever a desperate charge was needed against a formidable enemy, Soviet political commissars would always be at the forefront, sometimes even charging with a stool if they ran out of pistols.

Mei Sheng, the political instructor of the 7th Company who had studied in the Soviet Union, was clearly also inspired by this spirit, and he charged forward faster than anyone else.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Company were indeed greatly encouraged. They stood up, formed teams of three, and charged towards the American troops while taking turns providing cover.

US Army left side
"Sir! We've been ambushed by the Chinese army. Our men have suffered heavy losses. If we don't retreat now..."

A U.S. Army sergeant, his face contorted with grief, was anxiously trying to dissuade the attacker when a stray bullet struck him in the head, killing him instantly.

"Fuck you!"

"Withdraw! Withdraw the troops!"

Captain Jack looked at his fallen subordinate and shouted with a hint of grief.

The US troops had initially tried to hold off the enemy by relying on their firepower and cover, but after the order was given, they all ran down the mountain, afraid of falling behind.

Captain Jack had no choice but to follow the infantry platoon on the left down the mountain, escaping even faster than Mayson's charge.

There was no other way; even if Jack gave some American soldiers a death-defying rearguard order, he doubted any of them would obey. Faced with the American rout, the 7th Company, following its original plan, concentrated its superior forces to quickly encircle and annihilate the American infantry platoon on the right flank before continuing its pursuit down the mountain.

"Damn it! Those American devils are running away faster than their troop carriers! We can't catch them!"

He Changgui, speaking with a Sichuan accent, chased after him while cursing loudly.

"Forget it, let's chase them a little longer. If we really can't catch up, we'll let them go. It would be troublesome if we ran into other American devils."

Mei Sheng looked at the retreating American troops and said helplessly.

"What a pity to let an entire American infantry platoon escape..."

Lei Gong, a veteran of many battles, seemed to have already foreseen the outcome and sighed.

"and many more!"

"Listen, what's that sound!"

Lei Gong paused for a moment, then put on a hearing aid with an amplification function and listened while giving a reminder.

"Oh no! It's American tanks and troop carriers!"

Mei Sheng frowned deeply.

"I didn't expect the American reinforcements to arrive so quickly! They got off easy!"

Commander He listened for a while while lying on the ground, and after confirming, he slammed his hand on the ground with considerable reluctance.

The Chinese People's Volunteer Army consisted almost entirely of light infantry; any tanks that appeared belonged to the US military—this was practically an ironclad rule.

But they never expected that Wu Wanli's extraordinary performance would lead to the capture of three tanks for the Seventh Company.

Of course, the same applies to the US military.

"Oh, yes!"

"Tanks! It's our tanks!"

"Our tanks are here! We're saved!"

"Where are the Chinese troops? Those damned yellow-skinned monkeys, they're too scared to pursue us!?"

"..."

Seeing the tanks and troop carriers in the distance, the exhausted fleeing American soldiers cheered instantly.

Captain Jack, in particular, grinned, revealing two rows of large teeth, and laughed triumphantly.

"Look! This is the armored force of America!"

"The Chinese troops at the signal tower can be defeated and their reinforcements sent back in a very short time!"

"Let's go, guys! Welcome our war hero!"

Jack, like a victorious rooster, loudly boosted the morale of the routed American troops.

The soldiers of the US infantry platoon were quite pleased, waving their rifles, gathering in a group, and marching toward the tank.

On the Pershing tank in the front row
"Company Commander, Wanli, what are those American devils up to?"

"They huddled together, brandishing their weapons, making it almost embarrassing to fight them."

Yu Congrong put down the machine gun on the tank and asked, somewhat bewildered.

"I don't know either, it's not in the plot..."

Wu Wanli opened his mouth, but finally said it in his heart.

"They probably... surrendered?"

"Otherwise, with a salvo from three tanks, plus our current firepower, they won't survive another minute."

Wu Qianli scratched his head; this was the only explanation he could think of.

"coming!"

"Let's see what those American devils have to say!"

Wu Wanli pointed to a figure not far away and said.

North Korea, shrouded in darkness and covered in heavy snow, saw snowflakes fluttering like countless drifting feathers, resulting in extremely low visibility.

"Hi! Hello!"

"Well done, Mike. I knew the Chinese army was no match for armored forces..."

Captain Jack's voice suddenly stopped halfway through his sentence.

At that moment, the massive muzzle of the Pershing tank was about to touch his face, while the muzzles of two other tanks were also aimed at the American troops behind him.

Captain Jack and the American soldiers: "???"
