"Speed up, don't let the big fish in the watchtower escape!"
Wu Qianli shouted and charged forward, replacing the Garand in his hand with a Springfield sniper rifle with an optical sight.
The U.S. special operations battalion in the rear had no idea that the 7th Interpenetrating Company was so bold and dared to ignore the U.S. troops in the rear and attack directly into the core of their base camp.
By the time the group of U.S. troops reacted to Battalion Commander Leonard's roar, the 7th Interpenetrating Company had already put a short distance away from them.
"You idiots, give chase!"
Leonard, the U.S. battalion commander, clenched his fists and kicked the buttocks of several stunned U.S. noncommissioned officers beside him.
"Yes, sir!"
The US military, who was stunned by Wu Qianli's reverse operation, finally reacted and pursued the 7th Interpenetrating Company with all its strength.
The soldier at the front of the U.S. special operations battalion took out a bazooka rocket launcher and aimed at the 7th Interpenetration Company ahead and fired.
"call out--"
In an instant, several rockets blasted towards the darkness ahead with traces of white smoke exhaust. However, most of them were smashed crookedly, leaving only a few charred snow pits.
As for the American soldiers who kept firing into the darkness ahead during the charge, it was a waste of bullets. The flying stray bullets could only shuttle back and forth as if they were trying their luck.
At this time, Wu Qianli had already taken the seventh interleaved company around a corner and headed towards the large watchtower at the US military command post.
During this process, except for a small number of wandering sentries, the 7th interleaving company encountered no decent resistance, and it easily moved in like a bayonet penetrating a white paper.
"Why are their internal defenses so lax? There could be some ambush, right?"
Mei Sheng raised his gun and killed another American skirmisher, and murmured with some confusion.
However, there was no turning back when the bow was fired, not to mention that Wu Qianli was so determined to kill at the front, which also gave everyone full confidence.
Finally, when they rushed to only two or three hundred meters away from the watchtower, the US machine gun position in the distance suddenly roared.
"Da da da da da da da da da da da..."
The white American soldiers held the Browning machine guns in their hands and fired wildly forward. The rapidly thrown bullet casings fell to the ground.
Seeing the delayed charging speed of the 7th interleaved company, the US machine gunner was not happy at all. Instead, he swallowed in fear.
"Shit! Who can tell me when these volunteers came here?"
While the US machine gunner was firing, he asked the deputy machine gunner next to him in fear.
"Our peripheral fronts are all in crisis, and we don't know where they have been breached..."
The US military deputy machine gunner piled the bullet chains aside and said slightly pessimistically.
"boom--"
There was a crisp gunshot, and the hot bullet instantly penetrated the US machine gunner's head, and a ball of bright red blood splashed onto the face of the deputy machine gunner next to him.
"Follow the planned tactics and charge forward!"
As soon as Wu Qianli pulled the trigger, he jumped up from the snow with great confidence and led the people to quickly approach the observation tower in front.
Sure enough, amidst the sudden cessation of machine gunfire, the 7th Interpenetrating Company quickly approached, and soon arrived at a position only 150 meters away from the watchtower.
There were only about one platoon of US troops left there, and they immediately panicked and organized a defensive fire network, and the rockets were fired as if they were free.
"Reconnaissance Platoon, concentrate your sniper firepower and knock out the American searchlights!"
Seeing the 7th Interleaved Company being pinned down again, Wu Qianli shouted slightly depressed.
"Bang! Bang!"
As soon as Wu Qianli finished speaking, Pinghe, who had already planned this, fired two shots upwards. The bright searchlight exploded instantly, and the glass fragments fell with a crash.
The US military, which had lost its light, poured out firepower into the darkness in fear, but its accuracy dropped a lot.
And unlike the 7th Interpenetrating Company, which was hidden in the darkness, the stationed US troops' machine gun muzzles that kept spraying gun flames accurately exposed their positions.
"You're so arrogant when you hold a heavy machine gun, right? Shut up if you scream so damn weird!"
Lei Gong picked up a Super Bazooka and fired the rockets fiercely at the orange-red gun flames of the American troops in front.
"call out--"
"boom!"
The fast-flying high-explosive rockets hit the U.S. machine gun position directly.
Several American machine gunners and heavy machine guns were blown into the sky together, and the roaring sound of machine guns was instantly weakened.
"All combat units obey orders! Take turns to cover and fire, press forward quickly, and don't give them a chance to breathe!"
Wu Qianli said loudly, and at the same time he picked up the sniper rifle in his hand and shot down the American soldiers who wanted to re-set up heavy firepower one by one.
The 7th Interpenetrating Company, which had the advantage in strength, charged forward with great momentum and broke through the US military watchtower. It was only a matter of time.
………………
On the watchtower, in the command hall of the US Army Group
"Get me through to General MacArthur immediately, be sure to hurry!"
Major General Barr's face turned earth-colored and his voice trembled slightly as he roared.
"Okay sir!"
The US military adjutant helped him get through to General MacArthur a little nervously, and the hand that handed him the microphone was trembling slightly.
"General MacArthur, the eastern base camp at Changjin Lake has reached an extremely critical moment! Almost all our planes were blown up!"
"Some volunteers have broken through the defense line and are heading toward my location! I request permission to retreat on my own and mobilize aircraft carrier formation aircraft to come for support!"
Major General Barr grabbed the phone and directly told the critical situation.
In fact, he had been like his immediate boss before. Almond had applied, but there had been no affirmative reply.
Now he had no choice but to report to MacArthur.
On the other end of the phone, MacArthur, who was about to meet the Emperor of Japan, was stunned, and even the hand holding the pipe stopped in mid-air.
Although he also knew something about the battle situation at Changjin Lake, he did not expect that it would quickly deteriorate like this.
"Major General Barr, you can't just retreat like this. I will immediately mobilize the aircraft carrier flight formation to support you. Hold on and defeat the volunteers!"
MacArthur said to Major General Barr with a slight anger, feeling quite dissatisfied.
You must know that if the US Army Group Army on the eastern front of Changjin Lake retreats, it will mean that the front line of the entire Korean Peninsula is pulled back.
By the time the US military is severely weakened by the pursuit across the board and unable to attack again in a short period of time, the Christmas offensive he advocated will become a joke that slaps him in the face.
"Shit! I don't want to support the counterattack! How can we still support this group of demonic volunteers?"
After Major General Barr heard MacArthur's words, he slammed the phone aside and roared loudly.
At this time, the charging horns and gunshots of the 7th Interleaved Company were getting closer and closer, and the U.S. troops in the watchtower could hear the shouts of killing from the outside.
"General Barr, the garrison below should be almost unable to withstand it. We'd better make plans early."
Brigadier General Larulak stood outside the watchtower in a slight panic, looking at the situation below through the glass cover, and sighed silently.
"What...how could it be so fast?"
Major General Barr was a little in disbelief, and walked quickly to Brigadier General Larulak. He happened to see two American soldiers who were blown away by grenades, and his face suddenly turned pale.
At this moment, Wu Qianli, who was under the watchtower, had already raised the sniper rifle in his hand, and the crosshair of the optical sight was pointed at Major General Barr.
Wu Qianli clenched the butt of the gun tightly, keeping the muzzle in the most stable state, holding his breath and pulling the trigger hard at the last moment.
"boom--"
With an inconspicuous gunshot, the hot bullet came out of the gun, penetrated the wind and snow, and flew up to the watchtower with murderous intent.
"Bang!"
The fast-flying bullet instantly broke through the glass cover of the observation tower, and the crisp sound of the glass made Major General Barr subconsciously duck to the side.
But Major General Barr's movements were always too slow, and the bullet still hit his left shoulder with no loss of power, and a ball of blood spattered out.
"General Barr!"
Several US military staff officers on the watchtower immediately rushed up in panic and dragged Major General Barr to a safe location.
On the side, Larulak, whose face was spattered with blood, was stunned for half a second, and then immediately ran back, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
If the bullet had just been deflected a few inches, he would have been the one hit.
Wu Qianli looked at the rapidly disappearing figure above him, slowly put down the muzzle of the gun with a hint of white smoke in his hand, and shook his head with some regret.
Although the shot just hit, the system's beep did not say the mission was completed, which proved that the shot was not enough to kill.
Sure enough, when the US troops in the watchtower bandaged Major General Barr and pinched him for a while, he woke up not long after.
"S——"
Major General Barr, who had just woken up, felt pain under his left shoulder. He couldn't help but cover the wound tightly and took a breath.
However, this wound did not affect his ability to move. After standing up, Major General Barr could still run normally.
"Lalulak, I'm seriously injured. I'm afraid I won't be able to continue directing the tense battle."
Major General Barr covered his wound and said to Larulak with a painful expression, which made him feel a hint of ominous premonition.
Sure enough, when Major General Barr said that he would hand over the command to him, he realized that this guy was planning to take the blame and escape first.
"General Barr! The war situation is extremely urgent now, you can't just..."
Brigadier General Larulak was about to argue a few words, but Major General Barr did not give him this chance at all. After glaring at him, he led a few guards and ran towards the east gate.
Outside the east gate of the watchtower, a fully fueled jeep and a Ford troop transport truck were parked here.
As long as they get in the car, they can reach a small helipad with a helicopter in a few minutes.
However, the American defenders south of the watchtower were still struggling to hold on, unaware that their top commander was planning to abandon them.
"Da da da da da da da da da da..."
I saw Yu Congrong gritting his teeth, holding the Browning heavy machine gun and firing continuously forward, regardless of its recoil.
A U.S. soldier who just showed up and wanted to shoot was beaten by the dense bullets before the muzzle of the gun was fully raised.
Wu Wanli even took the risk to touch not far from the US machine gun position, pulled out the grenade, paused for a few seconds and threw it hard.
"boom!"
With a loud noise, the thrown grenade exploded in mid-air as always, and the fire bloomed in an instant.
The flying shrapnel directly scratched half of the sandbag that was blown up in the air, and fell together with the flesh and blood of the American soldiers.
The soldiers of the 7th Intersection Company who shuttled through the darkness also stepped up their attacks, with countless orange-red gun flames flashing everywhere.
"Company Commander, as long as we continue this offensive, we will be able to break through their watchtower in just over a minute!"
Mei Sheng observed the battle in the distance with a long-lost smile on his lips.
"Breaking watchtowers and killing American soldiers has never been the key. We have to achieve valuable strategic goals."
After Wu Qianli finished speaking, he quickly noticed the US military vehicles on the east side of the watchtower through the light of the explosion.
Based on his understanding of U.S. military officers, in this situation, not many people would be willing to stand firm and risk their lives, and would most likely evacuate in a hurry.
"Lei Gong, ask the comrades in the running platoon to set up the mortars and seal the east side of the watchtower for me..."
Wu Qianli anticipated the possibility of Major General Barr's escape and was about to make arrangements in advance. However, he was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"Company Commander! The American special operations battalion is coming from behind and will soon be in front of us. What should we do next?"
Pinghe looked at Wu Qianli slightly uneasily and said quickly.
"Alas, it's a pity that our troops are always too few and our speed is too slow."
Upon hearing the threat from the US military behind him, Wu Qianli clenched his fists and said a little helplessly.
It is difficult for a woman to make a meal without rice, and it is not easy for the seventh interleaved company to do this.
"His grandma, company commander, give me one more minute, just one minute, I, Lao Yu, promise to get in!"
Yu Congrong punched the snowdrift with some reluctance and assured Wu Qianli loudly.
"No! Company Commander, this is the hinterland of the US Army's Eastern Front Base Camp."
"We won't be able to hold it after we break in. Instead, we will be trapped in a siege, caught in a trap."
After listening to Yu Congrong's words, Mei Sheng was afraid that Wu Qianli would give an impulsive order, so he quickly spoke out to dissuade him.
"Meisheng is right. We are in the wolf's den of American devils and we must not be impulsive."
Wu Qianli couldn't help but nodded slightly when he heard Mei Sheng's words.
At this moment, he carefully picked up the sniper scope and looked at the east side of the US military watchtower. He immediately keenly observed the shaking figures of the military vehicles where they were parked.
"I know that there is no American commander who is not afraid of death."
Wu Qianli smiled slightly, almost concluding that the big fish in the US military was about to escape. A glimmer of light flashed through his eyes and he issued the order immediately.
"Yu Congrong, Lei Gong, Mei Sheng, you take the main force of our company and kill in the back. Hold off this group of US special operations battalions for five minutes!"
"Pinghe, take the comrades of the reconnaissance platoon with me to hunt down the big fish of the American devils!"
