When they arrived at the courtyard house and the celestial bridal chamber, they discovered it was a

The operations staff of the General Staff were also nervously analyzing the situation.

They gathered around the map, discussing it amongst themselves. Deputy Director Wu listened to their remarks, a thoughtful expression on his face.

After a while, he suddenly said, "I think Comrade Jianheng's guess is reasonable. The US may have focused its main attack on the Wusheng Mountain area."

Next, it was time for the discussion with the comrades.

Fifteen minutes later, the headquarters sent a telegram to Qin Jianheng: "Comrade Qin Jianheng, please send the two divisions previously sent to the western area of ​​Wusheng Mountain back to reinforce it as soon as possible."

Upon receiving the order, the 15th Iron Army immediately sprang into action.

The troops quickly assembled, and the soldiers, carrying their weapons, marched back at breakneck speed.

At the same time, the 15th Iron Army dispatched another regiment to immediately reinforce the Chinese People's Volunteer Army at Wusheng Mountain.

Upon receiving the order, the regiment dared not slacken in the slightest and immediately set off for Wusheng Mountain.

However, as they approached the enemy lines, they were met with fierce resistance from the Americans. The enemy not only rained down machine gun fire, but artillery shells also exploded all around them.

They even deployed hundreds of bombers and fighter jets.

The volunteer soldiers were fearless and charged forward, but the enemy's firepower was too fierce, and one soldier after another fell down.

As a result, the regiment still failed to achieve its intended objective. Only one battalion managed to break through, while the rest were either stopped or sacrificed on the battlefield.

Of course, the fact that this battalion successfully captured three high points did alleviate the immediate crisis.

They quickly occupied advantageous terrain, constructed defensive fortifications, and engaged in fierce fighting with the enemy.

Faced with this situation, Qin Jianheng pondered for a long time.

His final look revealed determination and resolve, and he then issued a new operational order: "Notify the 235th Regiment to prepare for reinforcement! Have the artillery provide initial fire support to give the enemy a taste of their power!"

"Yes, sir!" The operations staff officer saluted and ran off to relay the order.

Soon after, artillery shells from the 15th Iron Army rained down on the enemy positions.

The explosions were deafening, flames shot into the sky, and the enemy's positions were left in ruins.

Amidst billowing smoke, the enemy's fortifications were blasted to pieces, and many enemies were blown to pieces.

However, this bombardment only lasted for ten minutes.

Because we've run out of shells.

Then, the 235th Regiment launched an attack. The entire regiment continued to charge towards the enemy position like tigers, their battle cries shaking the heavens and the earth. They carried their guns, firing as they ran, their eyes filled with hatred and madness.

Caught off guard by the sudden artillery bombardment, and then encountering the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Regiments, the enemy began to rout. Some enemy soldiers dropped their weapons and turned to run.

Some enemies hid behind the ruins and stubbornly resisted.

At this point, the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Regiments did not linger in battle but continued to advance. Finally, two battalions successfully broke through.

They quickly rejoined their comrades who had been holding the high ground, reinforcing the defenses.

Even so, of the seven high grounds and more than twenty positions on Wusheng Mountain, only a little over 1,300 people remained.

But at this point, the 15th Iron Army didn't have many troops left, since it only had one division.

Faced with the enemy's continuous reinforcements and frenzied counterattacks, Qin Jianheng knew that he had to continue sending reinforcements, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Therefore, Qin Jianheng made an unexpected decision: he ordered the guard company to continue to provide reinforcements.

Upon hearing the order, the soldiers of the guard company did not hesitate at all, immediately prepared their equipment, and got ready to set off.

The guard company was quickly dispatched, and they set off along the rugged mountain path toward Wusheng Mountain.

However, as soon as they approached the enemy's defensive line, they encountered snipers from the elite American troops.

An enemy battalion, hidden in the shadows, kept firing at them. Bullets whistled past, striking the rocks and sending sparks flying.

The guards advanced cautiously, using the terrain and objects to dodge enemy bullets.

But besides the snipers, the enemy's other firepower was also extremely fierce, and many soldiers fell.

Faced with this situation, staying behind and slowly engaging in a protracted struggle is the best course of action.

However, there wasn't enough time. So the guard company didn't retreat and continued to charge forward tenaciously. After a fierce battle, only seven men from the entire guard company broke through three layers of defense and successfully reached Wusheng Mountain, achieving their goal of providing reinforcements.

Although all seven men were wounded, they greatly boosted the morale of the garrison at Martial Saint Mountain.

Overall, the Battle of Shangganling was very abnormal from the very beginning.

First, Old Vanguard ordered the US military to abandon plains warfare and switch to mountain warfare. This was undoubtedly attacking the enemy's strength with their own weaknesses, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it was simply a foolish decision.

But it was this decision that successfully deceived the Chinese People's Volunteer Army, causing them to suffer a great loss.

This led to extremely fierce fighting, with both the Chinese People's Volunteer Army defenders and reinforcements suffering heavy losses, much like being besieged and attacked by the US.

This was originally a tactic that the Chinese People's Volunteer Army was most proficient in, but the US used it against them, turning the tables completely.

For the past four days, the entire battlefield has been filled with smoke, littered with corpses, and littered with ruins and charred trees.

Two days later, a division of the 15th Iron Army of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army arrived from the western area of ​​Wusheng Mountain, preparing to reinforce it. However, the United States also dispatched a division to intercept them.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in a narrow area where mountains and plains met. Everyone was racing against time, doing everything they could to hold off the enemy.

The volunteer soldiers, guns in hand, engaged in close combat with the enemy.

Shouts of battle and the sounds of gunfire mingled together, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng'an, who had been buried in the ground by the bomb, woke up.

He felt a sharp pain in his head and his vision blurred.

He then shook his head to clear his mind and began digging away the loose soil. His hands were cut by the stones and bleeding profusely, but he ignored that and just kept digging.

Finally, he climbed to the ground. He gasped for breath and looked around, only to see a scene of utter chaos.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps and immediately became alert, raising his gun. A moment later, several volunteer soldiers came into view; they had been searching for the remains of their fallen comrades for the past two days.

"Comrade, you're still alive!" a volunteer soldier exclaimed in surprise.

They immediately surrounded Zhou Zheng'an and helped him up.

"I'm fine, what's the situation now?" Zhou Zheng'an asked.

Soon, Zhou Zheng'an learned of the current battle situation and then found a nearby company. The company commander, Wang Guoming, was greatly surprised when he learned his identity. He immediately helped Zhou Zheng'an contact the headquarters and sent a telegram to them.

When Zhi Si learned that Zhou Zheng'an was still alive, he was both surprised and overjoyed.

Chen Gengyang, Director Mo, and others were in the command post, intensely analyzing the battlefield situation. When they heard the news, they all stood up excitedly.

"That's great! Comrade Zhou Zheng'an is still alive!" Chen Gengyang was so excited that he stammered.

A relieved smile appeared on his face.

"Yes, Comrade Zhou Zheng'an has created another miracle!" Director Mo said excitedly.

Upon learning that the Battle of Shangganling had broken out, Zhou Zheng'an, disregarding his exhaustion and injuries, immediately volunteered: "Leaders, I want to go to the front lines! I want to fight alongside my comrades!"

The senior officers on the command were surprised that Zhou Zheng'an, having escaped death, wanted to go back to the front lines without even thinking about resting. They were both excited and moved, and considering Zhou Zheng'an's formidable fighting prowess, they immediately agreed to his request.
