Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 387 Liberating Jiuli! Marching into the Han River!
Under the cover of night, the Seventh Steel Brigade was tearing through the darkness with astonishing efficiency, heading straight for Jiuli.

Suddenly, Pinghe ran up to Wu Wanli and reported, "Commander-in-Chief! Scout report!"

The area surrounding Jiuli is empty!

We didn't even spot a single enemy sentry!

The east and north sides of the city were eerily quiet!

Wu Wanli didn't stop walking, but frowned slightly: "Where's the fire reconnaissance point?"

Pinghe spoke quickly, with a confident assessment: "As planned, all three pre-set points have been test-fired! Machine guns fired in bursts, mortars fired single shots!"

Only sporadic, blind volleys of gunfire could be heard from within the city.

They sound like frightened birds; they have absolutely no organization!

"it is good!"

A cold glint flashed in Wu Wanli's eyes. He suddenly raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and pressed down!
A crisp and decisive gesture that represents "all-out assault"!

The silent military order, like an electric current, instantly pierced through the entire massive marching column.

"Hurry! The target is the eastern and northern gaps of Jiuli City! Run forward!"

"Artillery column! Artillery column speed up! Seize the pre-designated firing positions! Move quickly!"

"Tanks! Advance! Cover the infantry assault line! Maintain formation!"

The low, urgent commands were rapidly relayed by commanders at all levels.

The already high-speed procession suddenly accelerated again!
The heavy rumbling of the tank wheels on the dirt road suddenly became as dense as drumbeats, the roar of the tank engine suddenly rose several notches, and the tracks kicked up large clouds of dust.

Countless Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers pounded the ground with their feet, creating a rustling sound as they surged forward toward the dark outline of the city in the distance.

In less than half an hour, the low outline of Jiuli City's city walls was clearly visible to the vanguard of the Seventh Steel Brigade.

The city walls and the fortifications hastily built on the ruins and collapsed houses were now eerily silent, exuding a sense of deathly stillness.

Wu Wanli knelt on one knee behind a mud house that had been half-destroyed by a bomb, raising a captured American-made high-powered telescope.

The cold, metallic touch pressed against his brow bone.

The camera slowly pans across the breach in the city wall and the street entrance filled with broken bricks and tiles.

As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but emptiness.

There were no patrolling sentries, no beams of searchlight, and not even a shadowy figure could be seen moving behind the fortifications.

Dead silence.

Only the mournful sound of the wind sweeping through the broken walls and ruins could be heard.

But he knew that this calm was an illusion.

The deadly danger may be lurking behind those broken walls, in the piles of rubble, or behind every dark, gaping window.

The US commanders weren't fools. Urban warfare, using mazes of reinforced concrete and ruins to strangle the attackers, was the only lifeline they could grasp at that moment.

They must be lurking there, waiting for their prey to step into their pre-set death trap.

Wu Wanli put down his binoculars and took a deep breath of the cold air mixed with the smell of gunpowder and dust.

Immediately afterwards, the precise map of his celestial eye, deep within his consciousness, unfolded with a bang!

The dilapidated streets and alleys, collapsed buildings, and remaining houses of Jiuli City appeared in his mind's "field of vision".

The perspective rapidly rises and rotates, as if a deity is looking down upon the human world.

On the map, the dots representing life and threats lit up densely!

Inside the main breach in the east of the city, along both sides of that relatively wide gravel road!

More than one hundred U.S. soldiers were crammed into sandbag fortifications, windows of half-collapsed houses, and behind broken walls!

That was the first and thickest line of flesh and blood!
The US military is still making slight movements and adjustments, clearly making final deployments.

About 200 meters behind the gap, there is a relatively complete crossroads center!

Dozens of U.S. soldiers gathered around the wreckage of several trucks that had been blown up and used as cover.
There were foxholes dug with entrenching tools, and several heavy machine guns!

A key support node!

Go deeper!
The core area of ​​the map is a relatively open space that resembles a small square!

A core area composed of bright spots of light, surrounded by a large number of moving US troops!
It's the reserve team!

At least two companies of American troops were huddled in the shadows!

There were also scattered specks of light, like will-o'-the-wisps, on the high points along the narrow alleyways leading to the south and west of the city.

Behind the broken window of the two-story building, in the shadow of the water tower... a sniper! A deadly sniping spot!
The location, concentration, and possible firepower configuration of each point of light were clearly imprinted on Wu Wanli's core thinking, like a brand.

The "urban warfare spider web" laid out by the US military commander had every node and every thread exposed under his "all-seeing eye"!

Wu Wanli grabbed the microphone from the walkie-talkie beside him: "Lei Gong! Lei Gong! This is Wu Wanli!"

A reply has been received!

"Zzzzt... Thunder God received! Commander, please give instructions! The artillery column is fully deployed, all gun positions are ready! We're just waiting for your command!"

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Lei Gong's rough voice, thick with a Jiaodong accent, immediately rang out, responding decisively.

Wu Wanli gave the order at lightning speed: "Based on the latest intelligence and reconnaissance, the target has been locked!"

Area 1: Inside the main breach in the east of the city, along the gravel road!

Coordinates: XXX, XXX!

The coverage extends 150 meters in depth!

The enemy has a dense infantry position, at least a reinforced company!

Use high-explosive grenades on me, cover me with three basic charges of rapid fire!

"Keep them trapped inside the fortifications!"

"Understood! Coordinates: XXX, XXX!"

Cover infantry formations! High-explosive grenades, rapid fire in triple-charge increments!

Lei Gong's voice carried the excitement of a hunter finally aiming at the prey's vital point, and he immediately repeated it to confirm.

"Second area: 200 meters behind the breach at the crossroads! Enemy stronghold!"
Coordinates: XXX, XXX!

The center point features the truck wreckage and surrounding foxholes!
Use delayed-fuse grenades! Drill inside and then detonate! Two loadouts!

Wu Wanli continued.

"Coordinates XXX, XXX! Enemy strongpoint! Delayed fuse! Two base values!"

Lei Gong's recitation was clear and unmistakable.

"Third area! Core area! Suspected enemy reserve force assembly point!"

Coordinates: XXX, XXX!
The diffusion radius is fifty meters!
Covert fire! Incendiary bombs mixed with high-explosive bombs! Completely disrupt! Scatter them!
Five base numbers! Give them a good beating!

Wu Wanli's voice suddenly rose, carrying a destructive will as powerful as thunder.

"Coordinates XXX, XXX! Suspected core reserve team!"

Incendiary bombs plus high explosives! Five base loads!

Smash them!!

The thunder god's roar almost shattered the walkie-talkie.

"Coordinates of all scattered sniper positions on the perimeter will be sent separately later! Use mortar fire to eliminate them completely! Leave no one alive!"

Wu Wanli added at the end, his killing intent palpable.

"Received! All coordinates have been recorded!"

Captain, just you wait and see!
I'll make sure these bastards are dealt with perfectly!
"Artillery! All of them!"

Lei Gong's voice transformed into a thunderous roar through the walkie-talkie.

The roar wasn't directed at the microphone, but at the silent and deadly artillery barrage behind him!

"Target coordinates transmitted! Artillery group 1, responsible for coordinates XXX, XXX area! High-explosive shells! Three-charge rapid fire!"

"Second Artillery Group is responsible for coordinates XXX, XXX area! Delayed-fuze grenades! Two loads!"

"Three artillery groups! Mixed ammunition! Targets XXX, XXX!"

Incendiary bombs plus high explosives! Five charges of coverage! Destroy it!

"Mortar squad! Get my follow-up coordinates! Keep an eye on those bastards who're sniping! Eliminate them!"

"Loader! Load!!"

Lei Gong's series of furious commands were like the fuse that lit a powder keg.

The entire artillery position erupted from dead silence in an instant with a deafening roar!

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The heavy breechblock was pulled open with a jarring metallic clang that echoed harshly in the pre-dawn air.

"Boom! Boom!"

The gleaming, heavy shells were crammed into the scorching hot breech by the loaders with almost frantic speed and force.

"Close the bolt!!"

The roars of Chinese Volunteer Army artillerymen mingled with the heavy clatter of the breechblock closing.

"All parameters are set up!!"

The Chinese People's Volunteer Army gunners stared intently at the dial with bloodshot eyes, their fingers turning white from the force.

"preparation--!!"

The red flags raised high by the gunners, like an invitation from the Grim Reaper, were suddenly lowered!
"put!!!"

boom--!!!!!!

The first loud bang shattered the last barrier of tranquility before dawn!

That wasn't just a single cannon shot, but a destructive roar that could tear the sky apart, formed by dozens of cannons simultaneously spewing fire!

At that moment, the earth seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand!

The visible shockwave, like a giant, transparent wall, swept violently across the ground, kicking up towering clouds of dust!
Then came the second wave!
The third wave!
The fourth wave... the artillery went completely berserk!

The blazing flames spewing from the cannons formed a rolling, orange-red torrent that instantly illuminated half the sky, turning the artillery position into a fiery inferno!
The billowing smoke rose and spread rapidly, like black clouds spewing from the open gates of hell.

The sound of shells piercing the air, sharp enough to pierce eardrums, emitted the most shrill scream!
The sound became continuous, no longer the intermittent "whoosh-whoosh," but a constant, soul-oppressing, terrifying buzzing!
The air was being violently torn, compressed, and rubbed together, producing a noise that made your scalp tingle!
The first wave of shells, a steel storm, with the absolute precision granted by the Wu Wanli Sky Eye Map, smashed into the unsuspecting eastern part of Jiuli City like a precise scalpel!
Rumble, rumble—! ! !
The earth is shaking!

The gravel road marked with 50,000 li on the inside side of the gap in the east of the city was instantly and completely engulfed by the flames of the explosion!
High-explosive grenades rained down like a dense rain of death, striking the first line of defense meticulously constructed by the US military without the slightest deviation!

The sandbag fortifications were torn apart and blown away by the violent blast of air, just like children's building blocks!
The broken walls groaned under the powerful shockwave and collapsed in large sections!

The American soldiers, who were hiding in the back and thought they were safe, were torn to pieces by the towering flames, the violent shockwave, and countless high-speed spinning deadly shrapnel before they could even let out a complete scream!
Limbs and severed arms, mixed with broken weapons, sand and bricks, were thrown high into the air and then fell like dirty raindrops.

Thick smoke and dust, mixed with a heavy stench of blood, billowed and rose, forming menacing columns of smoke.

Immediately afterwards, a second wave of attacks came down, crashing into the stronghold at the crossroads in the city!

The wreckage of several trucks that served as the core bunker was the first to be hit!
The time-delayed grenade, with its sinister roar, pierced through the thin armor of the vehicle or penetrated deep into the foxholes next to it, detonating with a bang inside!
boom! boom! boom!
A series of dull, but even more destructive, explosions rang out!
The truck wreckage leaped up from the ground like an explosive barrel detonated from within.

The steel body was torn open with a huge gash, and twisted parts and burning fragments shot out in all directions like a shower of flowers!
The foxholes next to it were even more horrific, with huge fireballs carrying dirt and human fragments spewing out of the openings!

Those heavy machine guns, on which high hopes were placed, along with their gunners and assistant gunners, vanished instantly in the center of the explosion, leaving not a trace.

The entire intersection was transformed into a massive, smoking crater, and the remaining will to resist of the American troops was completely wiped out at that moment.

However, this was just an appetizer.

The real storm of destruction is about to arrive!

The third wave!
This was also the strike in which Wu Wanli poured the most destructive will—the core assembly point of the US military reserves!

The three artillery groups unleashed a terrifying barrage of high-explosive and napalm bombs, accompanied by a piercing, apocalyptic howl, precisely covering the entire area!
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
The explosions were so loud that they were indistinguishable!
The fireball from the high-explosive bomb was like a miniature sun rising from the ground.

Each expansion releases a devastating shockwave, tearing apart and hurling everything in its path, including houses, shelters, and human bodies!
At the same time, the napalm exploded, instantly releasing viscous, intense flames!

The flames were an eerie yellowish-white color, and the temperature was terrifyingly high, splashing onto the building ruins, the ground, and the American soldiers who were trying to find cover!

"Ah—!! God! Fire! Fire!!"

"Help! Help me! I'm burning to death!!"

The piercing, inhuman screams instantly drowned out the roar of the explosion!

The American soldiers, set ablaze, became frantically dancing human torches, rolling and running desperately in the sea of ​​fire.

They futilely patted at the sticky flames that wouldn't go out on their bodies, eventually curling up into charred lumps of coal within seconds.

Flames spread wildly along the wooden beams of the collapsed houses and the remaining doors and windows, turning the entire reserve assembly area into a raging inferno!

Almost simultaneously, the scattered resistance points throughout the city also met their end. Mortar shells, like the Grim Reaper's scythe with eyes, accurately struck the windows, water tower shadows, and breaches in the broken walls that Wu Wanli had marked individually!
boom! boom!
The muffled explosion was interspersed with the sniper's short scream as he was blown away and the metallic clang of weapon parts flying everywhere.

Those threats who thought they were hidden and were preparing to launch a sneak attack were instantly wiped out by the artillery detachment's precise strikes.

In just a few short minutes, the entire city of Jiuli was completely engulfed in a storm of steel and flames!

The urban warfare fortresses that the U.S. military had painstakingly built and placed high hopes on proved as fragile as paper in the face of the overwhelming artillery firepower guided by the 50,000-mile-long "Sky Eye"!

Willpower was burning, life was evaporating, and all defense plans became a joke in the face of the Seventh Steel Brigade's artillery fire!

The echoes of the shelling still reverberated over Jiuli City.

The air was thick with gunpowder smoke, dust, and a nauseating smell of burnt blood.

Wu Wanli suddenly straightened up from behind the makeshift cover, glancing at the steel torrent behind him that was already unable to suppress its killing intent.

He raised his gun, pointing it straight ahead: "Steel Seventh Brigade—! Target! Jiuli! General Offensive—!!!"

"kill!!!"

The thunderous roar of the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Brigade erupted!
The fighting spirit that had been building up to its peak erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for a thousand years!
The combined sound waves even overwhelmed the residual force of the previous shelling, causing rubble to fall from the ruins!
Pinghe led two thousand elite reconnaissance troops, like black arrows released from a bow, and were the first to rush out from the left flank of the attack formation!
Using the craters created by the explosions, the collapsed walls, and the billowing smoke as cover, they advanced in alternating leaps, heading straight for the gap torn open by artillery fire in the east of the city!
Pinghe charged ahead, his PPSh submachine gun slightly lowered, his sharp eyes scanning for any remaining firing positions on either side of the gap.

At almost the same time, Gao Daxing's assault detachment launched a sudden attack from the right flank!

The Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers surged toward the breach with even greater force, like a raging torrent bursting its banks!

Gao Daxing, holding a red flag in one hand and gripping a Garand rifle with a fixed bayonet in the other, roared like thunder: "Follow me! Pierce these bastards!"

The assault detachment soldiers behind him possessed powerful firepower, forming a raging torrent of attacks.

"Firepower team! Suppress the remaining enemy! Secure the breakthrough!"

Yu Congrong's roar followed closely behind.

His fire support detachment did not directly attack the breach, but quickly deployed in a relatively open area outside the breach.

The heavy machine guns were quickly set up on the slightly higher pile of rubble, and the mortar squads built makeshift firing positions on the spot.

A dense hail of bullets and precise artillery fire immediately poured onto the barricades and firing positions behind the breach, suppressing the remaining enemy forces that were trying to raise their heads and fight back.

"Prehistoric! Armored battalion! Charge with me head-on! Crush them!"

Wu Wanli's orders rang out once again.

He stepped onto a tank that had just roared to life next to him, the tracks kicking up choking dust.

The armored guard battalion led by Shiqian followed closely behind, while the tanks and armored vehicles of the Seventh Steel Brigade roared deafeningly.

The steel tracks rolled over the broken road surface, like a moving steel fortress, rumbling towards the gap!
The tank turret slowly rotated, its thick cannon barrel pointing towards any suspicious movement deep within the gap.

The guards followed closely on either side of the tanks and armored vehicles, their bayonets gleaming, vigilantly watching the blind spots that the tanks could not reach.

Three streams of iron, infantry, artillery, and tanks working in perfect coordination, were like three sharp blades, piercing into the wound in Jiuli City that had been completely torn apart by artillery fire!
The reconnaissance team from Pinghe was the first to break through the gap!
The thick smoke and dust greatly obstructed visibility, but the soldiers were already used to fighting in this environment.

They used the ruins to advance quickly, their submachine guns and rifles firing wildly, bullets spraying like water at any moving target in their line of sight.

"At 11 o'clock! Behind the broken wall! Next to the machine gun wreckage! Two!"

Pinghe, with his sharp eyes, instantly spotted the target and fired a single shot, instantly killing an American soldier who was about to peek out from behind the broken wall.

"Grenades! Clear the rubble on the right!"

A class monitor roared.

Two grenades flew in an arc into the corner of a half-collapsed house.

boom! boom!
After the explosion, several short screams were heard.

Gao Daxing's assault team surged into the breach like a raging whirlwind, closely following the reconnaissance team.

Unlike the reconnaissance team, which conducted a thorough sweep, they used powerful firepower and fierce momentum to penetrate deep into the relatively open streets!

"Suppress! Suppress fire!"

Gao Daxing roared and fired repeatedly with his Garand rifle, accurately taking down an American soldier who peeked out from behind the burning wreckage of a truck.

The soldiers behind him fired wildly with automatic weapons, and spent cartridges flew out of the gun barrels like a golden waterfall, clanging and clattering on the ground.

The dense hail of bullets sent debris flying from the walls on both sides of the street, suppressing the remaining American troops so much that they couldn't even raise their heads.

"Tanks! Tanks are coming! Make way!"

A roar came from behind.

The towering tank tracks rolled over the gravel and burning debris at the breach, producing a screeching sound as they joined the front line of the assault.

The coaxial machine guns on the tank turrets opened fire fiercely, the ammunition belts lashing out like fiery whips at the corners of the street, tearing the exposed American soldiers to shreds.

The main guns roared from time to time, blasting the seemingly sturdy barricades made of bricks and stones into piles of rubble.

Wu Wanli stood on the lead tank, gripping the handrail tightly to steady himself, while holding up binoculars in the other hand, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's as he surveyed the chaotic battlefield ahead.

His mental map was running at full power, clearly marking the distribution of the remaining enemy forces in the streets ahead, possible firing positions, and obstacles.

He didn't need a walkie-talkie; he shouted directly into the tank commander's hatch:

"To the left front! That two-story building that's half collapsed!"
Second floor window! Anti-tank firepower!
Coordinates: XXX, XXX!

Tank cannon! High-explosive shells! Smash it!

"Yes!"

The tank commander immediately repeated the order and shouted into the microphone: "Left front! Second floor of the ruined building! Window! High explosive round! Load!"

The turret spun rapidly, its cannon pointing at the target. Boom!

With a deafening roar, the high-explosive bomb precisely pierced the dark window and exploded violently inside the building!

Flames and thick smoke billowed from the window, and a shattered bazooka rocket launcher, along with its gunner, was thrown out by the shockwave.

"On the right! At the crossroads! Behind that pile of sandbags! Infantry are gathering! Coordinates: XXX, XXX!"

Heavy machine guns! Covert fire!

Wu Wanli gave another order.

The heavy machine gun team of Yu Congrong's artillery detachment, which was following the tank, immediately responded.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The dull yet deadly burst of fire from the M1919 heavy machine gun rang out, and a hail of bullets swept across the sandbag fortifications at the crossroads like an iron broom.

The sandbags were riddled with holes, and yellow sand sprayed everywhere. Several American soldiers hiding behind them were instantly riddled with bullets and fell down screaming.

Like a highly efficient war machine, the Seventh Steel Brigade, under the overall control of the Wu Wanli Sky Eye Map and direct on-site command, precisely eliminated every remaining resistance point.

The infantry and tanks worked together, with close coordination of firepower, and the assault was swift and well-organized.

The soldiers worked in groups of three, providing cover for each other and taking turns firing as they charged. Their movements were clean and efficient, demonstrating a high level of tactical skill.

The remaining US troops were completely devastated.

They had never experienced such a precise, fierce, and efficient attack!

The defenses melted away like ice and snow under the sun.

The American soldiers who were lucky enough to escape being killed by artillery fire, crushed by tanks, or mowed down by submachine guns suffered a complete mental breakdown.

They dropped their weapons and crawled out of the burning ruins and from behind the collapsed bunkers, their faces covered in soot and blood, their eyes unfocused.

Many people raised their hands and shouted in tearful English, "Don't shoot! Surrender! We surrender!"

(Don't shoot! Surrender! We surrender!)

resistance?

street fighting?

It has long since become a pipe dream.

Faced with the absolute firepower and iron will of the Seventh Steel Brigade, any skill seems pale and laughable.

The tall, excited leader was at the forefront. His red flag, riddled with bullet holes and smoke, crashed through a burning barricade and then suddenly planted itself against a relatively intact section of low wall!

The vibrant red stood out starkly against the backdrop of billowing smoke and the dawn's light!
"Reporting to the Commander!"
The vanguard commando team has taken control of the city's central intersection!
The remaining enemy forces are retreating south of the city!

Requesting instructions!

Gao Daxing wiped the sweat and soot from his face and shouted into the walkie-talkie, his voice filled with the excitement of victory.

Wu Wanli jumped off the tank and stepped onto the still-warm rubble.

He looked around.

Burning houses, twisted steel, streets riddled with shell craters, and American corpses and prisoners lying scattered about... the traces of battle were shocking.

He raised his wrist and glanced at his watch.

The hour hand clearly points to 6:30.

Only thirty minutes had passed since the artillery preparations began!
Wu Wanli decisively gave the order, his voice steady and powerful, without the slightest hint of arrogance after victory: "Cease the pursuit!"
Each detachment shall immediately eliminate any remaining enemy forces and consolidate their positions!

Control all key traffic points! Inventory the spoils!

Gather the prisoners! Medical team! Do everything you can to save the wounded!
Jiuli has been captured.

"Let the troops take the time to rest and replenish... The real battle will be fought in Seoul."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately agreed.

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

Shortly afterward, inside the Eastern Front Assault Group Command Post
"That was so much fun! So much fun!"
Wu Wanli, that kid, took over Jiuli City in half an hour, like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Now there are no towns left to separate Seoul from us!

Kong Jie held the battle report and laughed excitedly.

"According to intelligence from the North Korean army, the original plan was for the Puppet ROK Second Division to go to Guli City as the main force for defense."

However, during their march, they encountered resistance from the main force of the Korean army behind enemy lines, and were then mistakenly bombed by American air support, causing them to collapse and retreat.

Therefore, it makes sense that only about a battalion of American troops remained defending Jiuli City, and they were quickly annihilated.

Zhao Gang looked at the intelligence report in his hand and said.

"This matter is indeed somewhat strange. The firepower and combat strength of the puppet South Korean Second Division should not be inferior to a regiment of the North Korean guerrilla forces behind enemy lines."

After all, they weren't as well-equipped as the Independent Regiment that Old Li led when he attacked Ping'an County. Their weapons and equipment were extremely outdated, especially lacking heavy firepower.

I think either the UN forces are trying to lure the enemy deep into their territory, or the Puppet ROK 2nd Division is trying to preserve its strength.

Ding Wei thought for a moment and then spoke cautiously.

"Who cares what it is! It's a good thing anyway!"
Having tasted the sweetness of victory, the North Korean army has agreed to gather a large force behind enemy lines to assist in the battle!
Currently, Seoul only has Ridgway's guard regiment, the Korean 2nd Division, and at most the US 3rd Division that is about to arrive.

Our Eastern Front Assault Group has enough troops to fight!
Instead of dragging things out and waiting for the main UN forces to encircle us, I'll just go all out and use offense to break through everything!

Li Yunlong slammed his hand on the table and said domineeringly.

"That's right, judging by the time, the American Pacific Fleet will be here soon."

Knowing the Americans' habits, they might even bring some landing troops. We need to hurry.

Commander Qin said.

"I agree. The next step is to directly attack the Seoul area. We can't slow down!"

Commander Wei nodded.

"I am quite familiar with the Seoul area. If I'm not mistaken, the US military will either be holed up in the Seoul city proper or at most build some fortifications on the outskirts."

Either they concentrate a large force on the Han River to defend it, using the Han River line to block our main force!

After thinking for a moment, Jeon Doo-kwang spoke in broken Chinese.

"I'm more inclined to believe they're building a defensive line along the Han River!"
After all, the natural barrier of the Han River is very suitable for building a defensive system, and the battlefield is vast, allowing the US air force and artillery advantages to be maximized.

It's going to be a tough battle...

Ding Wei looked at the battle map and said.

"tough battle?
I fight tough battles!

The American devils have deployed their main forces to fight a decisive battle on the Han River, which is exactly what I wanted!
If they really fight a slow, drawn-out urban warfare battle against us, even if we capture the city, we will suffer heavy casualties. This is an opportunity!

Either Ridgway's last defensive force collapses, or we run out of strength to continue our fierce attack!
Tell Wu Wanli that his Seventh Steel Brigade should continue to lead the assault and try to capture a point first, so as to break through the US military's defenses!

The remaining main force also quickened its pace, preparing for a full-scale attack to fight the American devils to the death!

A sharp glint flashed in Li Yunlong's eyes as he gave the order with an air of dominance.

"Yes!!!"

Upon hearing this, all the officers present immediately straightened their backs and agreed.
