On the highway, the U.S. military personnel carrier was still roaring, and the U.S. soldiers in the cockpit were carefully observing the condition of the vehicle body.
Rather than consuming more fuel, the wealthy US military is more afraid of the embarrassing situation of being unable to start due to low temperatures after turning off the engine.
Some US soldiers were working hard shoveling the snow in the front, while a few US military officers gathered on the carriage, smoking cigarettes and telling some dirty jokes.
"The company commander is almost here. Let's just kill him. When the Americans clear the snow and return, it will be easy for us to break the car body when we shoot."
Yu Congrong, who was lying in ambush on the side of the road, whispered to Wu Qianli, and the puffs of white air he exhaled while speaking were vaguely visible.
"Don't rush to fight now. Later I will lead two people around to the back of the carriage and get in and kill all the US military officers inside."
"When you hear the noise, immediately kill the main force of the American soldiers in front, and don't let them quickly approach the vehicle."
As Wu Qianli spoke, he grabbed the muzzle of the submachine gun that Yu Congrong raised impatiently, slowly lowered it, and warned.
"Don't worry, company commander. As soon as your gun fires, I will immediately lead the fire platoon and attack all the turtles. I will ensure that the personnel carrier will not be hurt."
Yu Congrong said confidently as he took out two pineapple grenades, placed them in front of him, and stared at the American soldiers who were shoveling the snow.
Under the cover of darkness, Wu Qianli slowly walked into the cabin with two soldiers from the fire platoon, carrying a cold submachine gun.
The biting cold wind was still whistling like a whistle, and the slight movement from Wu Qianli and the others did not attract the attention of any US military at all.
In the cabin, several U.S. military officers were holding flickering cigarettes and laughing and chatting with their comrades beside them.
Under the smoke, they felt that the cabin seemed to be warmer, but at the same time it further obscured their sight.
"Oh, Mario, I heard that your son's birthday is coming soon. I don't plan to give him the latest train toys. Don't all children like these?"
A US military officer took a deep breath of cigarette and then said with a smile.
"If he can go back, why not give him two small trains? I really don't know if he can retreat safely in this war situation."
As Mario spoke, he sighed slowly, feeling a little helpless.
The dream of annihilating the volunteers and going home for Christmas has long been shattered. The haze of failure hangs over their heads and cannot be eliminated.
If he had known that the war would be like this, he would definitely not be willing to participate in the Peninsula War.
"No more chatting. I'm going to see if those guys are lazy. Why haven't they reported it for so long?"
After talking to this point, Mario felt that the topic was a bit disappointing, so he simply stretched, stood up and walked out of the cabin.
However, at this time, Wu Qianli was already wearing a snow-white cloak and reached into the back of the cabin.
When he arrived at his location, he stood up slowly and patted the white snow off his shoulders. He just heard the sound of Mario's leather shoes stepping on the iron plate of the cabin.
Wu Qianli asked the other two soldiers to get ready. At the same time, he took advantage of the blind spot in his field of vision and crouched under the car window, waiting for Mario to appear.
"Cough cough cough cough cough cough cough..."
Mario was choked by the flying snow outside the car window and coughed repeatedly. When he regained his composure and was about to jump out of the car, a big hand like a pincer instantly grabbed his ankle.
"what..."
Before Mario could finish the syllable of his exclamation, Wu Qianli grabbed him hard.
The cold and hard black iron gun butt hit his head quickly, and the huge impact and pain made him faint on the spot.
"puff--"
After the muffled sound of the bayonet entering the flesh, a blood hole immediately appeared in Mario's heart, and countless bright red blood spurted out along with the aorta.
"Oh guys, something's not right, just..."
A US military officer saw Mario's figure being quickly pulled out of the car window. He immediately dropped his cigarette butt in horror and planned to get up.
At this moment, the well-prepared fire platoon soldiers immediately climbed into the cabin, and aimed their black muzzles at the U.S. military officers in the cabin with a murderous intent.
"Da da da da da da da da da..."
The soldiers pulled the trigger hard, and the Thompson submachine guns in their hands kept spraying gun flames.
The small cabin gave the US military officers no room to escape, and the flying bullets quickly made bloody holes in the US military officers' bodies.
"Hmm~"
As soon as these US military officers pulled out their pistols, they groaned, their whole bodies went limp, and their hearts stopped beating.
"What?"
The soldier in the cab of the US military personnel carrier opened his eyes in horror. Listening to the movement behind him, he subconsciously stepped on the accelerator, trying to escape.
"boom--"
With the crisp sound of a Garand rifle, a bullet instantly penetrated the windshield in front of the car.
The broken glass shards immediately bloomed like fairy flowers, and there was a bloody hole between the eyebrows of the American soldiers in the cab.
The sudden sound of gunfire caused the American soldiers shoveling snow in front to stop their movements. They all froze on the spot and looked behind in surprise.
But after all, the US military was well-trained, and after only hesitating for half a second, they immediately dropped the engineer shovel, grabbed the gun in their hands, and wanted to counterattack quickly.
"beat!"
Yu Congrong coaxed loudly while biting open the metal ring of the grenade and throwing it towards the US military.
"Shit!"
Countless American soldiers saw the small black dots puffing out white smoke in the sky and fell to their feet. They immediately panicked and wanted to lie down quickly.
"Boom! Boom!"
The fire from the grenade explosion immediately engulfed the U.S. military, and iron shrapnel of various sizes penetrated the flesh and blood of a large number of U.S. soldiers.
"ah!"
A US soldier whose legs were blown off was crawling and crying for help.
However, the other American soldiers took a few steps back with frowns and shook their heads helplessly.
The US troops who were bombed like this had no chance of being rescued in the ice and snow outside.
"Each squad in the fire platoon should charge forward along the planned route. Don't let these American devils escape!"
Yu Congrong rushed to the front, sweeping the machine gun in his hand at the gathering of American soldiers and shouting loudly.
The U.S. soldiers who were stunned by the sudden explosion were faced with the firepower net, and several more people were killed and injured. Seeing that the situation was not good, some U.S. recruits had the idea of escape.
However, some veterans had already fallen to the ground as a conditioned reflex and raised their guns to fight back.
"You idiots, are you thinking of leaving your back to the enemy?"
"Kill over, seize the personnel carrier and then retreat, otherwise we won't be able to outrun the bullets."
A U.S. military noncommissioned officer shouted anxiously, raised the muzzle of his submachine gun, and aimed a round of bullets at Major Yu Congrong at the front.
Countless bullets fortunately whizzed past Yu Conrong's ears, but they also shocked him into a cold sweat.
After hearing what the noncommissioned officer said, many American soldiers felt that it made sense, and simply gritted their teeth and decided to stay and fight back.
Someone had already picked up the bazooka and fired a rocket towards the front of the fire platoon.
"Lie down!"
Yu Congrong immediately shouted loudly and quickly threw himself on the snow.
"call out--"
"boom!"
Countless snowflakes were built where the rocket exploded, but it did not kill many fire platoon soldiers, but it also temporarily suppressed the momentum of their attack.
"Good opportunity, don't wait any longer, kill it now."
The bearded US military noncommissioned officer was obviously rich in combat experience. Seeing that fighter opportunities were rare, he immediately shouted an order.
But soon, he discovered with some embarrassment that only a few of his own US military recruits obeyed his orders.
The US military officer who could command everyone had already been shot dead by Wu Qianli and others.
Although the remaining US troops knew that there was no problem with his command, they were unwilling to obey the orders of a non-commissioned officer and be the first to be cannon fodder.
For the chance of survival, this US military non-commissioned officer simply gritted his teeth and rushed out with a few of his men.
Upon seeing this, some US troops followed up and headed towards the troop carrier.
"Oh, God, look at this reckless guy, let them go, we stay behind to give them cover fire."
Another US military noncommissioned officer shook his head helplessly as he watched his comrades rushing towards the personnel carrier, fixed a Browning heavy machine gun and opened fire in the direction of the fire platoon.
"boom--"
"boom--"
At this moment, with two imperceptible gunshots, the two US military noncommissioned officers who gave the order were shot one after another. They both vomited blood and lay on the ground twitching.
Upon seeing this, some American soldiers immediately felt their hearts skip a beat, sank to the bottom of their bodies, and their fighting spirit to resist also slowed down by half.
Pinghe didn't observe too much. Before the white smoke at the muzzle dissipated, he immediately turned his head and aimed at the American machine gunner who was firing.
"boom--"
A rapidly rotating bullet knocked the helmet off the head of the US machine gunner, but did not hit the head.
"Fuck you!"
The U.S. heavy machine gunner covered his dizzy head and cursed. The impact of the helmet's ricochet almost broke his neck.
But soon he was on the battlefield and had no choice but to shake his head vigorously, then set up the machine gun and continued to fire. The powerful recoil caused the ammunition belts on the side to tremble slightly.
"What did this kid do in his previous life? How can he still be so lucky?"
Pinghe sighed in his heart and raised the sniper rifle in his hand again.
"Da da da……"
However, at this time, accompanied by the sound of machine gun fire, the US machine gunner had fallen down, and several bullets were shot irregularly into various parts of his body.
Pinghe put down the sniper rifle in his hand with some surprise and turned around to look.
At this time, Wu Qianli had climbed onto the mounted machine gun of the US military personnel carrier, and the precise burst just now was his masterpiece.
"Damn it, company commander Heping He is showing off his power. Our fire platoon can't let go."
"The first and second squads charge to the left, and the third and fourth squads follow me to the right and kill them with a pincer offensive!"
Yu Congrong shouted as he got up and led the soldiers from the fire platoon to kill them.
At the same time, soldiers from Pinghe and the reconnaissance platoon had sniped and killed all the non-commissioned officers in the US military team.
Now the American soldiers are leaderless and can only shoot at a loss and retreat quickly backwards.
"Boys, it's time for us to show off. Let's blast hard. After this battle, it's time for us to change our guns."
Lei Gong watched the distance between the US military and the soldiers of the 7th Interleaving Company widen, and immediately ordered an artillery attack.
When the bursts of mortar shells approached, the American soldiers' eyes widened and they did not expect that there would be artillery bombardment.
"Boom! Boom!"
The mortar shells drew beautiful arcs and hit the feet of the US soldiers, knocking over a large number of US troops who were caught off guard.
At the same time, Wu Wanli once again performed the air blast he was good at. Anti-infantry grenades exploded at the right time, taking away the lives of many American soldiers.
"Kill them, our company commander said, there is no need to leave anyone alive!"
Yu Congrong fired at the surrounding areas of the explosion and fire while leading his team to kill the US military.
Many US troops were lucky enough to stay away from the center of the explosion, but they still had to face strafing fire from the fire platoon.
Even the U.S. military veterans who rushed out of the bombing zone in time and lay on the ground could not escape Wu Qianli's precise bursts of fire, and could only die with hatred while covering their wounds.
When the smoke gradually dissipated, Yu Congrong and others had already reached the American soldiers.
Facing the few remaining American soldiers, the soldiers of the fire platoon didn't even bother to waste bullets. They took out the bayonets on their waists and rushed in front of the American soldiers in a few steps.
A few rays of cold light flashed through, and all the remaining American soldiers struggled for a few times, clutching the blood gushing from their necks, and then lost consciousness.
"Clean the battlefield and get in the car immediately. We have more important things to do."
Wu Qianli looked at the corpses of the American soldiers on the ground coldly and said as he was used to it.
The soldiers of the 7th interleaved company also skillfully searched for the army's ammunition and mortars, and quickly crowded into the cabin.
"Company commander, the headquarters of the Ninth Army sent us a telegram asking if we can assist the artillery battalion in securing the US military's Longshui Cave artillery position."
Mei Sheng, who had just been guarding Smith and was not involved in the battle, just received the contents of the telegram and immediately asked Wu Qianli.
"If we kill the Longshui Cave artillery position..."
After hearing this, Wu Qianli pinched his chin, frowned and hesitated.
He originally wanted to use lightning speed to kill the small mountain next to Xiajeryuli Airport and take away this stronghold, so as to choke the US military's escape.
"Company commander, the Longshuidong artillery position is not far away. It's near Xiajieyuli Airport. We can get there soon."
Mei Sheng spread out a crumpled battle map, pointed to the location of the Longshui Cave artillery position on it with his fingers that were red from the cold, and said.
"Ding - the system has detected the host's current situation and has automatically generated a sword-brightening task for the host to choose independently."
At this time, the cold system prompt sounded just right. Wu Qianli couldn't help but a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he quickly urged the system in his heart to speak quickly.
After all, he couldn't make up his mind, so he could make a decision based on the system's mission rewards.
"Bright Sword Mission One, unite the artillery battalion to seize the US Army's Longshuidong artillery position. If successful, you will receive six Springfield-style sniper rifles and 800 rounds of ammunition."
"The Springfield sniper rifle issued by the system will be equipped with the highest level optical sight of its time, which can greatly enhance the precision shooting capabilities of the reconnaissance platoon."
"Bright Sword Mission Two, rush to Xiaogaoling, seize the commanding heights, and seize the opportunity to block the retreat of the US military. If you succeed, you will get six Mosin Nagant sniper rifles and 800 rounds of ammunition."
"The Mosin Nagan sniper rifle issued by the system will receive the highest level sniper silencer of its time, which will greatly enhance the concealed shooting capability of the reconnaissance platoon."
When the system's prompt tone finished broadcasting, Wu Qianli couldn't help but feel happy. These two were considered top-notch rewards.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wu Qianli decisively chose Task 1 of Bright Sword.
Although it is said that sniper silencers can enhance the concealment function and kill people invisible.
But relatively speaking, significantly increasing the accuracy of shooting is of greater significance to the 7th Interpenetrating Company.
This era is different from later generations. Countless sharpshooters can be fed with a large number of bullets. The Volunteer Army's ammunition depot cannot guarantee such ammunition consumption.
The so-called sharpshooters in the reconnaissance platoon are only relative terms.
Only with the support of optical sights can they exert their powerful combat effectiveness in precise sniping.
"Let's go and fight towards the Longshui Cave artillery position!"
Having made the decision, Wu Qianli immediately issued the order, and the soldiers of the seventh interleaved company quickly approached their destination amidst the bumps of the personnel carrier.
Thanks to Gu A Tou, Tian Ma Xing Kong and other book friends for their monthly votes.
