Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 56 Capturing the Polar Bear Regiment Leader Alive!

"Brother, give the comrades an order: don't kill the leader of the Polar Bear Regiment later. I need him!"

Wu Wanli glanced at Wu Qianli and said.

"Keep the polar bear commander?"

"You must have something on your mind again, right?"

Wu Qianli glanced at Wu Wanli with some surprise and said.

"Yes, there is an idea that could influence the Battle of Xinxingli!"

"You'll know then."

Wu Wanli smiled slightly and said.

"Alright! I'll wait and see!"

"Tell the comrades to be extra careful later, and to capture the leader of the Polar Bear Regiment alive!"

Wu Qianli gave the order with great trust.

"Company Commander, after passing through the next few alleys, the Polar Bear Regiment's command post should be in the center!"

Pinghe pointed to the emerging town of Xinxingli ahead and said.

"Street fighting..."

"The American devils are in the shadows, while we are in the open; we'll be at a great disadvantage!"

Wu Qianli looked at the dark town ahead and said.

"Brother, I'll be the spearhead at the front. You and Yu Congrong will cover my flanks and rear. I'll scout ahead for the Seventh Company!"

After a moment's thought, Wu Wanli said.

As someone with a sense of battlefield threat, it's like having a blurry, sensory version of a third eye in the darkness.

With the added bonus of superhuman agility, Wu Wanli can react quickly and counterattack the US military to the maximum extent.

With the added advantage of godlike luck, he is almost never injured unless several guns are aimed precisely at him at the same time.

"Wanli, this isn't an open battlefield!"

"In the darkness of street fighting, a sniper shot, a grenade, or even a sudden close-quarters battle can happen at any moment. You're in great danger!"

Looking at Wu Wanli's determined eyes, Wu Qianli said with some worry.

“Brother, we don’t need to completely eliminate the remaining garrison in Xinxingli.”

"All we need to do is create an opening and quickly storm the Polar Bear Regiment's command post!"

"Moreover... any comrade would be in danger, and their chances of survival might not be as great as mine."

"If we don't act as the sharpest weapon, who will?"

Wu Wanli sighed and said.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Seventh Steel Company trembled and looked at Wu Wanli with admiration.

"Fine……"

"Old Yu and I will protect your sides and rear."

"The rest of you, continue in three-person combat teams, sneaking in along the buildings on both sides."

Wu Qianli was silent for a few seconds before speaking.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Seventh Steel Company responded loudly.

Soon, with Wu Wanli as the spearhead, the various squads of the Seventh Steel Company supported and covered each other as they marched inward along the streets of the town.

At that moment, a rifle silently extended from the house above and was aimed at Wu Wanli's head.

"not good!"

Wu Wanli's battlefield threat detection activated, and he quickly raised his submachine gun, firing a burst of fire.

"Da da da!"

Several bullets flew out, instantly piercing the chests of the American soldiers on the windowsill.

"thump--"

The American soldier who was killed fell from the window sill and collapsed in front of everyone.

"Wanli, what a fast reaction speed..."

Yu Congrong looked at the American soldiers' corpses on the ground and thought to himself with admiration.

"Follow me!"

Looking ahead at the perilous scene, Wu Wanli said in a low voice.

"it is good!"

Wu Qianli stared warily at the surrounding houses and said.

After this minor incident, the elite squad led by Wu Wanli continued to advance, with the Seventh Steel Company following behind.

"Lie down!"

Wu Wanli suddenly sensed something was wrong, and that it was something he couldn't handle, so he quickly shouted loudly.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company almost reflexively dropped to the ground.

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

In an instant, two machine guns and four submachine guns from the two houses ahead opened fire, instantly suppressing the Steel Seventh Company.

Not only that, three bazooka rockets were fired quickly, hitting the middle of the Steel Seventh Company's formation and effectively separating Wu Wanli's squad from the main force behind them.

Two soldiers from the Seventh Steel Company were engulfed by the flames of the explosion and will forever rest in this land.

"Dry!"

"cover me!"

A pang of sadness flashed through Wu Wanli's heart. He switched to a Springfield sniper rifle and shouted loudly.

"it is good!"

Yu Congrong picked up a light machine gun and began firing at the American firing positions.

Wu Qianli also fired his submachine gun, drawing the fire of the American troops.

The American troops were indeed fooled, and two machine guns were fired at Yu Congrong and Wu Qianli.

Wu Wanli seized the opportunity, stood up and quickly fired two shots.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two bullets spun rapidly as they flew out, striking the two American machine gunners squarely between the eyebrows.

After the machine guns went silent, the American firepower inside the building was instantly depleted. Wu Qianli took the opportunity to fire a round of fire, temporarily suppressing the American troops so they dared not show themselves.

Seeing this, Wu Wanli used his superhuman agility to rush forward, bit open the pins of two grenades, and threw them toward the windows of two houses.

The American soldiers inside watched the grenade fly in and considered throwing it back out, but it was clearly too late.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two explosions rang out, killing all the American soldiers inside the two houses.

"Well done, Wanli!"

Wu Qianli led Yu Congrong to Wu Wanli's side and praised him in a low voice.

However, at that moment, the doors on both sides suddenly opened, and six American soldiers raised their bayonets and charged at them.

At this point, it was exactly two American soldiers against one.

Upon seeing this, Wu Wanli kicked one of the American soldiers to the ground and quickly drew his bayonet, piercing the chest of another American soldier.

The American soldier on the ground staggered and tried to get up, but Wu Wanli tackled him and slashed his neck with his bayonet, killing him instantly.

On the other side, Yu Congrong quickly retreated a few steps, struggling to parry the two American soldiers.

Wu Qianli had just finished off one American soldier when another American soldier grabbed him by the back of the neck with the butt of his gun.

"Ten thousand miles..."

Veins bulged on Wu Qian's face as he gripped the butt of the gun tightly with both hands, and cried out as if he were suffocating.

Wu Wanli raised his rifle and fired a precise shot.

The American soldiers, who had been holding on for 5,000 miles, suddenly felt a sharp pain in their heads and collapsed to the ground, powerless.

"Yu Congrong, lie down!"

After Wu Wanli finished dealing with the American soldier, he shouted loudly.

"it is good!"

Out of absolute trust in Wu Wanli, Yu Congrong quickly lay down after dodging a bayonet thrust from an American soldier.

"Bang! Bang!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and the two American soldiers who were about to stab Yu Congrong were shot in the heart and fell limply toward Yu Congrong.

"Pah! You American devils, do you think you can win just because you have more people?"

Yu Congrong pushed aside the American corpses that were pressing down on him and said with a hint of smugness.

At this moment, the gunfire and fighting behind them had almost ended, and the main force of the Steel Seventh Company reunited with Wu Qianli and others.

"Brother! Before the US military's defenses can be fully deployed, we need to rush over and take out their command post!"

"Come with me!"

After Wu Wanli finished speaking, he rushed forward.

"it is good!"

"Comrades of the Seventh Steel Company, follow me!"

Wu Qianli was well aware of this and immediately gave the order.

Unbeknownst to them, only one guard company remained in Xinxingli.

Before the US guard company could withdraw its forces to defend, Wu Wanli led the Steel Seventh Company forward and reached the vicinity of the Polar Bear Regiment's command post.

The Seventh Steel Company surrounded the command post and quickly ascertained the situation.

"Brother, there are three troop transport vehicles to the south of the command post. The commander of the US Army's Polar Bear Regiment will definitely go there later!"

"Take out the outer sentries first!"

"The Steel Seventh Company will launch a main attack from three sides, while deliberately leaving a weak force to launch a feint attack from the south. The commander of the Polar Bear Regiment will have no choice but to send military vehicles from the south. That will make things much easier!" Wu Wanli said after quickly finishing his thought.

"Okay! Just do as you say!"

"Pinghe, you take the elite reconnaissance platoon and sneak up to take out the outer outposts of the US forces!"

"Old Yu, Wanli, let's go steal the troop transport!"

"Lei Gong, you and the political instructor lead the main force of the company and attack immediately upon hearing gunfire!"

Wu Qianli nodded and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Everyone readily agreed and split up to get to work.

Three military vehicles

Inside each military vehicle, two American soldiers were smoking with a worried expression, discussing the battle situation at the front.

Wu Wanli and his men crept over and quickly took care of the American soldiers in the military vehicles one by one.

Soon, Pinghe and his reconnaissance platoon took care of the sentries in the command post and joined up with Wu Qianli and the others.

After clearing the obstacles, the main force of the Steel Seventh Company launched an attack on the command post of the Polar Bear Regiment!
........................

Command Post

"Sir!"

"A Chinese army has broken in!"

A U.S. military staff officer shouted in alarm.

"What?"

"Weren't our armored forces sent to support the defense line? Even if a small Chinese force managed to break through, they should have suffered heavy losses!"

"And what about the garrison in Xinxingli Town? Didn't they engage in layered sniping during the street fighting?!"

Commander McLean, the leader of the Polar Bears, angrily slammed his coffee on the ground and roared.

"Sir! I don't know either!"

"The firepower of this volunteer army is particularly fierce; their command post will be breached very soon!"

"There's still a guard platoon here. Let's break out from the weaker southern side; there are troop transports there!"

The U.S. military staff shouted anxiously.

"Fuck you!"

"Break out immediately!"

McLean realized the situation was critical and quickly gave the order.

Unlike in the past when documents were slowly burned and radios were smashed, the anxious McLean ordered his soldiers to set fire to a building, not caring how much could be burned, and then charged directly south.

Command Post, South Gate

Just as McLean led his guard squad out, Wu Wanli's sniper rifle was aimed at the man next to him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wu Wanli fired three shots, and three American soldiers fell down next to McLean instantly.

Not only that, Yu Congrong on the other side also fired several shots, killing two American soldiers.

"Damn it! Two of you get into the driver's seat, the rest of you cover me getting into the car!"

Without bothering to take cover, McClain roared and charged forward, following behind the American troops.

At this moment, two American soldiers rushed toward the driver's cab.

The remaining American soldiers, armed with submachine guns, fired wildly in all directions as they escorted McLean to the vehicle.

"They've taken the bait..."

Wu Wanli muttered to himself, then raised his gun again and sniped two American soldiers.

At this point, McLean and the last remaining U.S. soldier finally climbed onto the nearest military vehicle.

The American soldiers who rushed into the driver's cab fell to Yu Congrong's submachine gun.

"Wanli was right after all..."

Wu Qianli watched as McLean climbed up, then shot the last American guard with his M1919 pistol and pointed the gun at him.

"Shit!"

"This is a damn scam!"

Upon seeing Wu Qianli, McLean immediately roared angrily.

Actually, he had a vague premonition just now.

But in this situation, he had no other choice.

"Brother, we've caught the big fish! Now we can start putting the plan into action!"

At this moment, Wu Wanli also climbed up, looked at Colonel McKlain, and said with a smile.

"Listen, Chinese, I am a high-ranking American military officer!"

"Even if I am captured, you should still give me the treatment I deserve!"

Colonel McKlain felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of Wu Wanli's smile, and immediately barked a bluffing shout.

"boom!"

A cold glint flashed in Wu Wanli's eyes as he snatched Wu Qianli's pistol and fired a shot at McLean's leg.

"Shit!"

McLean clutched his leg, howling in pain as he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Cooperate, or die!"

Wu Wanli roared at McLean.

"you……"

McLean angrily raised his head and looked at Wu Qianli with pleading eyes.

Upon seeing this, Wu Qianli quickly turned his head to the side, indicating that he had not seen anything.

"I...I'll cooperate..."

Seeing this, McLean could only clutch his wounded leg and say helplessly.

"Wanli, we've captured the leader of the Polar Bear Regiment."

"What plan are you thinking of? You can tell me now, right?"

Wu Qianli was a little curious and asked.

"Although we infiltrated and carried out the decapitation strike, the defenses in Xinxingli are still putting up a fight."

"Especially inside Xinxingli, there is also a complete artillery battalion!"

"If our Steel Seventh Company launches a strong attack, we will suffer a lot of casualties."

"But what if the Polar Bear Regiment Commander, under threat from the assault troops, personally goes to the artillery battalion..."

Wu Wanli smiled slightly and looked at Wu Qianli as he spoke.

"Can we ignore the defenses and just sneak in?"

Wu Qianli was startled and added.

"Brother, even if the disguise fails, the Polar Bear Regiment commander and the prisoners from the regiment headquarters are in our vehicle. Do you think they'll dare to fire?"

"Being captured is a less serious crime than shooting down an officer..."

Wu Wanli glanced at McLean and added.

“Prisoner… Wanli, you want to wipe out the entire American artillery battalion?”

Wu Qianli's eyes widened, and a surge of excitement welled up inside him.

"If we had fought normally, the American devils might have blown up all the artillery in the artillery battalion if they saw that things were not going well."

"If this plan is implemented, we will have an additional full-fledged American military battalion's worth of artillery fire!"

"Moreover, if we had taken down the American artillery battalion an hour earlier, we might have saved hundreds of our comrades from dying!"

"Without artillery support, the American devils' defenses will collapse quickly, and the battle at Xinxingli will end sooner!"

Wu Wanli took a deep breath and said.

"Okay!"

"Wanli, if this plan succeeds, the role our Steel Seventh Company will play will be greater than that of an entire main force regiment!"

Wu Qianli said with a hint of excitement.

"Reporting to the company commander, the battle at the command post has ended!"

"We also captured some prisoners!"

"What's next?"

At this moment, Mei Sheng ran to the back of the military vehicle and reported loudly.

"Meisheng, take your men and interrogate these people in the regimental headquarters, including this American devil regimental commander!"

"Once the location of the US artillery battalion is determined, the entire company, along with the prisoners, must immediately get onto the military vehicles!"

"We've achieved a remarkable feat by launching a lightning strike against the American devils' artillery battalion!"

Wu Qianli looked at Mei Sheng and said.

"Blitzkrieg battalion?"

"Company Commander, the Seventh Steel Company is exhausted after the battle, and it's a lot more... one company against a battalion..."

Mei Sheng's heart tightened, and he said with some confusion.

"Just carry out the order. Once you're on the bus, Wanli will tell you again!"

Wu Qianli smiled slightly and gave the order.

"Wanli's work..."

"it is good!"

Mei Sheng glanced at Wu Wanli and was no longer surprised. He quickly agreed.
