"Sir, the telegram finally came from the headquarters, please take a look! (Sir, the telegram finally came from the headquarters, please take a look!)"
The US military adjutant held a new telegram, his eyes full of excitement, and reminded the US frontline commander loudly.
"News from the headquarters? Could it be that reinforcements are coming? Show it to me! (News from the headquarters? Could it be that reinforcements are coming? Show it to me!)"
The US military commander, whose ears were numb from the roar of artillery, immediately became energetic after hearing the news about the headquarters, and grabbed the telegram.
“If the battle situation is really critical, after making the necessary resistance, you can wait for an opportunity to retreat by yourself, no need to ask again. Ask again.)”
After the U.S. military frontline commander received the telegram, he saw the last few lines at the first glance, and he suddenly felt ecstatic.
"call out--"
"boom!"
Accompanied by a rapid sound of artillery, an artillery shell hit a location not far from the frontline command post.
The huge shock wave caused the civil structure of the command post to loosen again, countless sand and stones shook down, and huge clouds of smoke and dust were scattered.
"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough..."
The US frontline commander smelled the strong smell of gunpowder and suddenly came back from his joy. He was still on a dangerous battlefield and could not be happy too early.
"Sir, do we immediately issue an order to retreat? If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that we will not be able to leave. (Sir, do we immediately issue an order to retreat? If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that we will not be able to leave.) It won’t fall anymore.)”
The US military adjutant made some uneasy suggestions. However, when he saw the commander's cold eyes, his voice suddenly became quieter and quieter. In the end, it was like the sound of a mosquito and could not be heard at all.
“Go back now and do your job, these things are not for you to ask. (Go back now and do your job, these things are not for you to ask.)”
The US frontline commander looked at the adjutant with a gloomy face and his eyes became increasingly severe.
"Oh, sorry sir, I'm leaving right now. (Oh, sorry sir, I'm leaving right now.)"
The US military adjutant's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately realized that he had crossed a line. After bowing repeatedly, he left as if running away.
After watching the adjutant gradually leave, the US frontline commander also sighed slowly. In fact, what the adjutant just said was exactly what he was thinking in his heart.
However, this sudden telegram still aroused some vigilance in him.
After all, he had not responded to more than a dozen telegrams before, but now the sudden reply asked him to retreat, which inevitably made him a little suspicious.
"Come on, help me check, has our tank company retreated to the command post, and where are they now? (Come on, help me check, has our tank company retreated to the command post, and where are they now?) Reserve a spot.)"
The US frontline commander, who was a little suspicious, immediately asked someone to go down and check.
However, the reply received was that the tank company did not carry a high-power radio, but had successfully passed the second line of defense before, and then there was no news.
The U.S. military frontline commander pinched her chin, frowned, and looked at the telegram again, but she couldn't find any problems when she looked at it horizontally and vertically.
After all, Wu Qianli not only asked Meisheng to study the code book, but also asked Meisheng to check the tone of the military orders issued by Smith in the command post.
Therefore, if the frontline commander of the US military simply looks at it like this, he will not see anything abnormal at all.
"kill!"
"Da da da da da da da da da da..."
Suddenly, the shouts of kill from the volunteer soldiers outside and the sound of submachine gun fire were getting closer and closer, and the US frontline commander also understood that he did not have much time to think.
"It must be the military order given by Smith himself. What's waiting for an opportunity to retreat, isn't it just throwing the pot on me? Humph, this old bastard. Are you just throwing the blame on me? Humph, this old bastard.)"
After thinking about it for a while, the U.S. military frontline commander came to a conclusion.
This military order seemed to give him the option of retreat. In fact, if Smith saw that the battle situation was unfavorable, he could pass the blame to him.
However, the US frontline commander thought so, but he was following Mei Sheng's advice, but now he had no more time to delay.
"Pass on my military order and immediately organize each position to carry out a short-distance counter-charge. (Pass on my military order and immediately organize each position to carry out a short-distance counter-charge.)"
"After driving all the volunteers down, the artillery positions, regardless of loss, fired three rounds of rapid fire to cover the retreat of the infantry. (After driving all the volunteers down, the artillery positions, regardless of loss, fired three rounds of rapid fire to cover the retreat of the infantry."
The morale of the US military positions was also boosted by the decisive military orders issued by the US military frontline commanders.
After all, after finishing this round, you can retreat and no longer be tortured by these devil-like armies. This is simply a blessing from heaven.
Faced with the powerful firepower and soaring morale of the US military, many volunteers failed to react, resulting in heavy casualties.
Many volunteers who lacked firepower were forced to retreat under the hail of bullets, but they found that the US military did not continue to charge, but quickly retracted its position.
On the front filled with artillery fire and smoke, the khaki tide seemed to be barely repelled.
However, the 20th Army, which was tenaciously attacking the US Army's Position 7, was the only exception on the entire battlefield.
"Damn it, comrades, follow me and kill us. We're only a few dozen meters away. We can't fall short!"
Captain Yang Gensi, who was at the front, roared, holding a submachine gun and rushing forward in a hail of bullets.
When the volunteer soldiers behind them saw the company commander leading the way, they all charged forward as if they had been given a shot of blood.
Not only were they brave and courageous, but their tactical penetration was also first-rate. Soon after paying the price of casualties, they reached the front of the US military.
The U.S. troops were stunned when they saw that they continued to charge forward instead of retreating.
Especially when the volunteer soldiers who fought hard until they were covered in blood arrived in front of them, they instantly felt the fear of death.
Even the leading US military officer's eyes widened and he subconsciously took half a step back. Only the gun in his hand was still pouring bullets unconsciously.
After all, they all want to retreat to the rear immediately after finishing this round.
Therefore, from the officers down to the American soldiers, no one wanted to fight to the death.
"Hahaha, these American devils are so scared, pull out your bayonets and kill them!"
Captain Yang smiled and pulled out the military thorn, and soon got close to the American troops at the front.
When these brave volunteer soldiers who were not afraid of death collided with the US military in an instant, seven or eight US soldiers immediately fell down, with bright red blood gushing from their necks.
A large number of volunteer soldiers will follow, preferably with an extremely prominent profit, which should be inserted directly into the heart of the US military's defense line.
When the US military frontline commander moved the telescope here, his heart suddenly trembled, and then endless anger burned in his heart.
In his opinion, everyone is just fighting with money. Now that they are fighting like this, what is the meaning of not letting him withdraw?
"Sir, now that the volunteers are entangled with part of our army, do you still want to fire? (Sir, now that the volunteers are entangled with part of our army, do you still want to fire?)"
The ordering soldier looked at the sharp "sharp knife" that was stabbing forward crazily. If it continued like this, it would be possible to reach the US military's position.
The US frontline commander gritted his teeth and opened his mouth as he watched this scene, but at that moment, he hesitated.
You must know that this is the US military. In most cases, even the deserters shot by the supervising team were South Korean soldiers. Basically, they would not harm US soldiers at will.
Although he was taking the overall situation into consideration, if the US frontline commander dared to order the bombardment of US soldiers, no matter how many achievements he made later in this battle, it would become a stain that could not be erased in his life.
“Let the artillery extend the artillery a little bit and bombard the retreating Volunteers and the rear of the advancing Volunteers.
The U.S. military frontline commander thought for a moment, but was still unwilling to make fun of his political career, so he finally issued such a military order.
After all, in his opinion, as long as the volunteers in the rear are blocked, no matter how brave the volunteer soldiers in the front are, they will be difficult to defeat with four hands and easy to deal with without support.
Then the fierce artillery fire of the US military suddenly roared, and for a moment there was a loud noise like a landslide and the earth was cracking, and it roared on the battlefield.
The rear of Captain Yang and the volunteer soldiers who were charging ahead had already turned into a sea of flames.
Without any reinforcements, not only were they not timid, but they fought more bravely forward, like slaughtering lambs, harvesting the lives of American soldiers.
As the U.S. military, which has the numerical superiority, is thinking about retreat, no one would want to fight them desperately at this juncture.
As a result, such a local spectacle appeared on the vast battlefield. A small number of volunteers desperately pursued and killed a large number of American troops, and became more and more courageous as they fought.
Seeing the explosions and sea of fire on the battlefield, Song Shilun slowly put down his telescope.
But when he knew that there were still some volunteers who had not withdrawn, his heart suddenly trembled.
"Let our artillery stop hiding and fire at the US military's artillery, quickly destroying their large-caliber artillery power!"
Song Shilun issued the military order a little impatiently, and even the anti-aircraft fire that was still blocking the aircraft in the sky was used to fire flatly, aiming at some US troops on other positions.
“Oh man, they finally stopped. (Oh man, they finally stopped.)”
A surviving US military pilot breathed a sigh of relief. The feeling of being chased by anti-aircraft cannons was really not good.
“These damn volunteers, shall we take a few more rounds to get revenge on him? (These damn volunteers, shall we take a few more rounds to get revenge on him? (These damn volunteers, shall we take a few more rounds to get revenge on them.)”
Another US pilot saw the retreating Army troops below and thought about how great it would be to take revenge while also covering friendly forces.
"What the hell are you idiots thinking? Return immediately, don't stay here. (What the hell are you idiots thinking? Return immediately, don't stay here.)"
After hearing their words, the captain of the US bombing team gave the order coldly.
Maybe they still have bombs left, but if they continue to fight like this, their aircraft fuel is likely to run out early.
When the time comes, there is no need for the volunteers to use machine guns to attack them, they themselves will be destroyed and people will be killed.
Even if they land by luck, the ubiquitous volunteer reconnaissance team and the people's guerrillas on the peninsula will probably kill them.
Therefore, I had hoped that the Air Force would also provide cover for the US frontline commanders, but my hopes were suddenly dashed.
"Fuck you! What the hell did these damn rubbish Air Force do on the battlefield? (What the hell did these damn rubbish Air Force do on the battlefield?"
The U.S. frontline commander gritted his teeth and looked at the U.S. bombers buzzing away in the sky, cursing a little angrily.
But there was no other way. After calming down, the U.S. military's frontline commander still started to deal with the subsequent retreat.
“Let the eastern, western and central parts of the front retreat in batches, resist section by section, and retreat slowly. (Let the eastern, western and central parts of the front retreat in batches, resist section by section, and retreat slowly.)
“When we reach the second line of defense, we will be safe. (As long as we reach the second line of defense, we will be safe.)”
The US frontline commander held his chin, thought for two seconds, and then spoke slowly.
Although they are now at a disadvantage, the eliteness and firepower of the US military cannot be underestimated. As long as they are operated properly, it will not turn into a retreat.
"Boom!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The artillery fire of the Ninth Army suddenly extended. With the crisp sound of steel and the sound of serial explosions, the US artillery position turned into a sea of flames.
A gloomy look flashed across the face of the U.S. frontline commander, but he didn't feel any heartache.
On the premise that they wanted to retreat quickly, a large number of heavy artillery could not be taken away at all, and they could only be blown up.
What's more, for the wealthy US military, the lives of US soldiers are much more important than these cannons.
After the rumbling explosion, the standard charge horn sound of the Volunteer Army followed, and countless figures in khaki military uniforms surged up again like a tide.
At this time, only a few dozen of the volunteer soldiers who had rushed up, including Captain Yang, were left, but they stubbornly followed the US troops and fought their way into the position.
The US military had no choice but to use snipers, hoping to target their figures and start precise sniping.
However, these volunteer soldiers rushed forward with all their strength and saw that they had merged into the crowd of US troops. The bullets could not injure them without accidentally injuring friendly troops.
At this time, the volunteers charging from behind also accelerated their pace. The bullets sprayed and the charging horns were getting closer and closer to the US military.
Under such pressure, many American troops panicked, dropped their weapons and ran back. After all, compared to the killers in front, there was not a single volunteer in the rear.
The U.S. military officers who sensed something was wrong boosted their morale. Some even rushed forward regardless of their own safety, hoping to win by virtue of their numerical superiority, but they were soon stabbed in the chest and fell to the ground.
The US troops who were dragged and beaten were unable to retreat in an orderly manner, and even panic and panic continued to spread among the US troops.
"No, I'm afraid there will be a risk of fleeing if this goes on. (No, I'm afraid there will be a risk of fleeing if this goes on.)"
The U.S. military frontline commander who raised his telescope to observe the battlefield situation was suddenly shocked, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
If he had known, Wu Qianli could have changed the situation at Changjin Lake with just one telegram.
Even causing a large number of U.S. troops to suffer heavy casualties and fall into a great rout, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he wanted to cut Wu Qianli alive.
