Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 55 Polar Bear Regiment Command Post!
On the battlefield, there is no time for sentimentality.

"Company Commander, Wanli, what's our next move?"

After releasing Wu Wanli, Pinghe took a deep breath and calmed himself down before speaking.

"Mei Sheng is leading the main force of the reconnaissance platoon in the western offensive, while Lei Gong is leading the artillery platoon in the eastern offensive."

"We'll split into two groups. After we take out the American troops at both ends, the Seventh Steel Company can unite as one and charge into Xinxingli!"

After a moment's thought, Wu Wanli said.

"Wanli is right!"

"Pinghe, you take these three combat teams and go support the instructor and the others!"

"Wanli, Lao Yu, let's go help Lei's father!"

"Come back and join us after we're done fighting!"

Wu Qianli nodded slightly and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Pinghe immediately agreed and led his men westward to attack.

Wu Wanli and his men, guns in hand, charged eastward.

Polar Bear Regiment Command Post
"Sir!"

"Positions 18 and 19 have lost contact!"

"Not only that, but all other positions are also under attack!"

A U.S. military staff officer reported.

"What?"

"Damn it! Where did all these Chinese troops come from?!"

"And it's only been fifteen minutes! Those two positions have already fallen!"

Do we have any more troops available?

McLean frowned and asked.

"We can only use the armored forces and troops of the second line of defense!"

“But once deployed, only the artillery battalion and the guard company will remain in Xinxingli Town.”

"Once small, elite units of the Chinese army infiltrate..."

The U.S. military staff member advised with a worried expression.

"Shut up!"

"Once the first line of defense is completely breached, our main force will collapse, and the Chinese army's artillery fire will be able to reach deep into Xinxingli!"

"Execute the order! I don't believe any Chinese army can break through the first line of defense with its combined firepower and armor!"

"McLean roared."

"Yes, sir!"

The U.S. military staff had no choice but to agree and sent a telegram via radio.

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

Just as the US military was mobilizing armored forces to provide support, Wu Wanli had already arrived near Lei Gong's attack position.

"Da da da da..."

Not far away, dense gunfire resounded through the sky, the powerful firepower of the US military still making the artillery platoon gasp for breath.

Not far from the position, another military vehicle was carrying a recoilless rifle, aiming at the artillery platoon and firing with precision.

In front of the position, there was also a watchtower, whose machine gun firing radius almost covered the entire artillery platoon.

"Company commander, these American devils are quite strong. We're not going to have a good fight with just a few of us!"

Yu Congrong frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled.

"The Long March, the War of Resistance against Japan, the Liberation War, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea—which of these battles was easy for us?"

"We have to fight, even if it's tough!"

"Wanli, this should be the main stronghold of the American devils. What do you think we should do?"

Wu Qianli's gaze was firm as he turned to seek advice.

"First, seize jeeps. Once you have them, use recoilless rifles to bombard the American positions!"

"After the bombardment, destroy the watchtower's firing positions, and then charge directly towards the American positions!"

"In this situation, the US military's firepower is almost completely silenced, and Lei Gong and his men will definitely be able to rush up!"

After a moment's thought, Wu Wanli made a decisive decision.

"Company Commander, Wanli's method is risky, but it's the fastest. I think it'll work!"

Yu Congrong immediately nodded in agreement.

"it is good!"

"Wanli, go ahead and fight! We'll cooperate with you!"

After thinking for two seconds, Wu Qianli agreed.

"Grab your bayonets and come with me!"

Wu Wanli didn't stand on ceremony. After speaking, he gripped his military dagger and reached for the jeep.

Wu Qianli and Yu Congrong immediately drew their military knives and followed closely behind.

The intense gunfire and the darkness provided them with excellent cover.

Before long, the three of them made their way to the vicinity of the jeep.

Wu Wanli quickly jumped into the jeep and rushed towards the two American soldiers inside.

While adjusting the gun barrel, an American soldier suddenly felt his mouth being covered, followed by a chill on his neck, and his body went limp.

"Shit!"

Another American soldier picked up the butt of his rifle and smashed it at Wu Wanli.

With his superhuman agility boost, Wu Wanli swiftly dodged and thrust his military dagger twice into the American soldier's chest.

"How could it be so fast..."

These were the last thoughts in the mind of the American soldier before he died.

At the same time, Wu Qianli and Yu Congrong threw the American soldier's body out of the driver's cab and gave Wu Qianli a thumbs up, indicating that they had done it.

"Fire!"

Wu Wanli jumped out of the car and spoke to the two men in a low voice.

"it is good!"

As Yu Congrong spoke, he immediately climbed onto the jeep and maneuvered the cannon to aim at the American positions.

Wu Qianli, sitting in the driver's seat, slowly drove the jeep back a little to make it easier for Yu Congrong to fire.

"Wind speed of 35 at the 11 o'clock position..."

Wu Wanli murmured to himself, while adjusting his breathing, picked up his Springfield rifle, aimed at the American firing position on the watchtower above, and pulled the trigger sharply.

"boom!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and the American machine gunner on the watchtower fell to the ground instantly, a pool of blood and brain matter splattering out.

The secondary machine gunner on the watchtower, seeing this, felt a pang of anxiety, but still hoped it was just luck, and continued to fire in place of the machine gunner.

"boom!"

Wu Wanli held his breath and fired another scorching bullet, which struck the new machine gunner on the watchtower right in the head.

The powerful impact propelled his body forward, causing him to fall headfirst from the tall watchtower.

At the same time, Yu Congrong also calibrated the best bombardment point and fired a shot at the center of the American position.

"boom!"

The shells exploded violently on the American positions, and a burst of fire appeared.

The two machine guns were blown away on the spot, and the ammunition belts broke and fell to the ground.

In just a few minutes, a large portion of the US military's heavy firepower was destroyed, and some of it was even used to attack themselves!
Seeing this, Lei Gong immediately stood up and led the artillery platoon in a general charge towards the American positions.

US military positions

"Shit!"

"Don't just focus on the Chinese troops charging ahead; there are also Chinese troops that have infiltrated the rear!"

A U.S. military officer reacted and shouted loudly.

But just as he turned halfway around, he saw a figure wearing a white cloak rushing towards him.

Long live the people!

With his bayonet fixed, Wu Wanli roared and leaped into the American trench, thrusting his bayonet fiercely at the American officer.

"quick……"

Before the American officer could finish speaking, his body was pierced by a bayonet.

Wu Wanli kicked the American officer away and drew his bayonet in the process.

At the same time, an American soldier had already raised his entrenching tool high, about to chop it down on Wu Wanli's head.

"Da da da!"

At the critical moment, Wu Qianli fired a single shot at the American soldier, killing him. He then picked up his bayonet and jumped into the trench with Yu Congrong.

"Wanli, you're in my and Lao Yu's hands now!"

"Fight without worry!"

"Lei Gong and his men will be here in a minute or two!"

Wu Qianli shouted.

"it is good!"

After saying this, Wu Wanli drew his sword and charged at the American soldiers.

With the added bonuses of close combat and agility, Wu Wanli's bayonet danced almost like a flower in the wind, cleanly and efficiently taking down several American soldiers.

The US military positions were thrown into chaos by Wu Wanli and his men, making it impossible for them to continue suppressing the artillery platoon.

Soon, Lei Gong led the artillery platoon soldiers up the line and, together with Wu Wanli and others, successfully annihilated the American troops on this main position.

"You little rascal, well done!"

"When I saw the American devils on the watchtower get sniped twice, I knew it was you putting on this show..."

Lei Gong praised him approvingly, but there was a hint of melancholy in his eyes.

"Lord Lei, I'm late."

"So many comrades fell, and we couldn't save them..."

Wu Wanli noticed Lei Gong's dejection and said...

"Why are you saying that? If you hadn't fought so fiercely, the Steel Seventh Company would have become the Steel Seventh Platoon!"

Lei Gong shook his head and said.

"Don't blame yourself, there are sacrifices in war!"

"Originally, your older brother and I thought that after the war was over, we wouldn't let you fight!" "Now that you've gone to the battlefield and made meritorious contributions, then... we won't let future generations of children fight!"

Wu Qianli patted Wu Wanli on the shoulder, offering words of comfort.

"There's movement!"

As Yu Congrong spoke, he immediately raised his gun and stared at the path they had come from.

"Old Yu, what's wrong with your eyes! It's me, Mei Sheng!"

Mei Sheng shouted loudly and led his men over.

"Instructor!"

"Good, Company Commander! Our Steel Seventh Company is all here!"

"Let's march forward!"

"The key to achieving a great feat lies in this one move!"

Yu Congrong quickly put down his gun and said to Wu Qianli with a face full of excitement.

"it is good!"

"Now that the main force of the Steel Seventh Company is complete, then..."

After a moment of contemplation, Wu Qianli immediately decided to continue the attack.

Just then, Wu Wanli's battlefield threat sense kicked in again, causing his heart to pound.

"and many more!"

"Now is not the time!"

Sensing the approaching threat, Wu Wanli quickly raised his hand to stop them.

"Comrade Wu Wanli, is there anything else?"

Upon seeing this, Mei Sheng quickly asked.

"The American devils have a second line of defense with armored units. We've been fighting here for so long, they might be sending reinforcements soon!"

Wu Wanli looked at everyone and said.

"It's really hard to say, but if we don't move now, it would be a waste of our opportunity."

Gao Daxing asked, somewhat puzzled.

The other members of the Steel Seventh Company shared the same thought.

They lacked a sense of battlefield threat; their only fear was that their chances of victory would vanish in an instant.

"Brother, think about the trains going into North Korea, think about the fighter jets on the scree beach!"

"If the comrades of the Seventh Steel Company were to engage in an encounter with armored forces, the losses would be very heavy."

"Trust me!"

Wu Wanli looked at Wu Qianli with a firm gaze and said.

"it is good!"

"I'll give you ten minutes. If the American reinforcements don't arrive in ten minutes, the Seventh Steel Company will launch an attack immediately!"

Wu Qianli hesitated for a few seconds before finally speaking.

"Row!"

"Let the comrades of the Seventh Steel Company put on American steel helmets, cover them with American skin, and then fire their guns."

"Use those American devils' weapons and fire upwards and forwards!"

After thinking for a moment, Wu Wanli said.

"Up ahead? Doesn't that mean it's going up into the sky?"

"This bullet is a bit of a waste."

Upon hearing this, Yu Congrong said with some heartache.

"Is Wanli thinking that the fake American positions haven't been lost yet?"

After a moment's thought, Pinghe immediately spoke.

"Yes!"

"And they are in the midst of a fierce battle, urgently needing armored support for their assault!"

"Once their tanks get there, just blow their rear ends up with bazookas!"

Wu Wanli said.

"Okay!"

"It seems that Comrade Wu Wanli is not only a sniper, but he will definitely have a knack for leading troops in battle in the future!"

Mei Sheng's eyes lit up, and he said.

"Change clothes, proceed according to Wanli's plan!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Qianli was also excited and immediately gave the order.

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company immediately agreed and began preparations.

Just as the Seventh Steel Company was ready, the roar of American tanks came from behind.

Three American tanks drove toward the position in a triangular formation.

After seeing the situation on the position, they stopped and fired a few shots at the front of the Seventh Steel Company before continuing their journey.

Inside the tank

"Well done, our guys are still holding the line!"

"Speed ​​up! Charge towards the Chinese troops!"

"I believe the guys on the front lines will cooperate with our combined infantry and tank counter-attack!"

Upon seeing this, the American tank commander in the center immediately gave orders to the other two tanks via radio.

"Sir!"

"Wouldn't this be a bit risky? What if we get blown up after pushing forward?"

"Why not use them as mobile turrets to help them defend their position!"

Another U.S. Army vehicle commander said.

"Damn it, don't I know about taking risks?"

"Colonel McClain's orders are for our tank squad to support four positions!"

"Tell me, if we stay here to guard the gun turrets, what will happen to the other three positions?"

The American tank commander in the center roared angrily.

Unfortunately, the Polar Bear Regiment's defenses were in dire need of reinforcements, and the support from armored forces was severely limited.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing this, the other two train commanders could only reluctantly agree.

Soon, the three tanks, completely unprepared, rolled over the trenches of the "friendly forces" and charged forward.

As night fell, snowflakes drifted silently down from the gray sky, as light as feathers and as graceful as willow catkins.

Sparkling flakes swirl in the wind, sweeping across the tank and dancing in front of the tank's observation mirror, resulting in extremely low visibility.

Inside the position

"Wanli, according to the storyteller, you are a military genius with unparalleled wisdom and strategy!"

"How could it be so accurate!"

Yu Congrong was shocked to see that the three tanks had indeed arrived and were actually charging forward.

"Get to work! Two bazookas to blast a tank's rear end!"

"We must destroy it in one blow!"

Wu Wanli knew better than anyone that he had a cheat code, and said it without the slightest hint of smugness.

"Count me in!"

Gao Daxing looked at Wu Wanli with admiration and immediately said.

"Me, Yu Congrong, Wan Li, Gao Daxing, Mei Sheng, and Ping He will use bazookas to blow up the American devils' tanks!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Qianli immediately gave the order.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wanli and the others immediately agreed and took action.

Soon, the three American tanks charged for a while, but after finding no one there, they immediately realized something was wrong and stopped.

"Go see your mother's God!"

Wu Wanli roared and fired his bazooka.

At the same time, the others also launched their rockets.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh…………”

Several rockets, accompanied by the whooshing sound of air being cut through the air, struck the thin armor at the rear of the three American tanks instantly along their respective trajectories.

"Boom! Boom! Boom..."

Deafening explosions rang out one after another, and flames, like ferocious demons, licked at the once mighty American tank, mercilessly devouring it.

The outer shells of the three American tanks were blasted with huge dents, like marks left by the claws of war on the metal.

Broken tracks lay scattered on the ground, and twisted metal pieces reflected the firelight, appearing particularly glaring.

"A stroke of genius!"

"If we were to actually encounter American tanks, I don't know how many comrades would be sacrificed..."

Looking at the wreckage of the American tanks, Mei Sheng exclaimed in sincere admiration.

"Company commander, we've fought so many battles!"

"The first time we've taken down three American tanks with zero casualties!"

Yu Congrong said with great excitement.

"Wanli, well done!"

"I was just worried about missing the opportunity, but now it seems I was glad I listened to you..."

Seeing this, Wu Qianli couldn't help but smile slightly and gave Wu Wanli a thumbs up with satisfaction.

"The battle is not over yet; this is only the beginning!"

"Brother, it's time to charge in!"

"The Polar Bear Regiment's command post is located inside Xinxingli!"

Wu Wanli pointed into the distance and said with a firm gaze.

"it is good!"

"Steel Seventh Company! Keep charging!"

"Target: Polar Bear Regiment Command Post!"

A surge of heroic spirit welled up in Wu Qianli's heart, and he loudly gave the order.
