After receiving this order from Zhou Wu, Zhang Ercheng of the artillery regiment hurriedly put the handwritten letter written by Zhou Wu into the shell, and fired the mortar at Colonel Robles on the opposite side.
A look of surprise climbed up to Robles's face: "It turns out that the commander of the Volunteer Army on the opposite side is Zhou Wu, an old friend, no wonder I can't rush out this time, I dare to love Zhou Wu's troops."
Colonel Robles did not rejoice that the commander of the other side was Zhou Wu, who had fought side by side with the Japanese devils, but he felt an inexplicable sadness, lamenting how unlucky he was to meet a powerful opponent here in North Korea, and this time if he wanted to escape, I am afraid that it would not be so easy.
What to do is to continue to fight, defeat all those American soldiers under him, fight with Zhou Wu to the death, or take advantage of this time to surrender to his old friend Colonel Robles is indecided, and it is very painful.
Time passed quickly, and the time proposed in Zhou Wu's ultimatum was less than ten minutes left, the sky had completely darkened, taking advantage of the gap between these two hours, Zhou Wu's troops had finished eating and resting, and were preparing to wait for Zhou Wu's order to finally launch a general attack, there were not many American troops in the encirclement, and the tanks and armored vehicles were estimated to have no fuel and ammunition, and after two days of fighting, those automatic rifles in the hands of the American soldiers should not have many bullets, It's time to launch a general assault on them At this moment, in the valley more than ten miles away from the Xinxingli Pass, Ge Sanmin and his men had almost packed up the British Royal Heavy Tank Battalion, and the brothers of the demolition team were under the cover of artillery and machine gunner fire, and only seven or eight of the 30 or so "Churchill" heavy tanks of the Royal Tank Battalion were blown up, and the road was full of horizontal and vertical paralysis on the ground, cutting off the tracks, blowing up the tank wreckage of the turret, the British tank crew was killed and wounded, and the way forward had long been blocked by the volunteers.
There is no way to retreat, the tank that has been blown up at the intersection is tightly blocked, and now only the command tank and three Spitfire tanks and three heavy tanks that Major Lux is riding are still there, but there is no discipline at all, just spinning around on the road, indiscriminately firing at the surrounding targets, the British tank soldiers have completely lost their sense of direction, regardless of whether the volunteer soldiers rushed in front of them, they were nervous and came up with a shelling and machine gun service, The Spitfire Tank continued to spray scorching flames in all directions, forming a wall of fire in an attempt to prevent the volunteer soldiers who came up to blow up their tanks But after all, the ammunition is limited, and soon, Major Lux found that his ammunition was about to run out, and now there was only one way to retreat in front of him, but the size of the tank blocking the intersection behind was too large, and the Chinese army was too level to blow up the tank, and it just so happened that the tank that blocked the intersection was just blown off the track, and the body and turret on it were intact, just like an iron tower, it really cost Major Lux his life More and more Chinese rushed around, some had climbed to the top of the heavy tank, desperately hitting those solid steel armor with long-handled grenades, making a frightening "knock" sound, the British tank soldiers on a Spitfire tank could not bear the knock on the top of their heads, hurriedly lifted the top cover of the tank, raised their hands and surrendered to the volunteer soldiers, just like that, Ge Sanmin's brothers captured four British tanks in this way, Even the commander of the British tank battalion, Major Lux, was captured alive by the volunteer soldiers and obediently taken prisoner.
Ge Sanmin was overjoyed when he heard that his troops had completely annihilated this British tank, and ordered his men to launch a general attack on the British infantry In the face of the volunteer soldiers rushing up from all directions and the "tick-tock" charging horn wafting all over the valley, the British brigade commander was completely desperate, and he reluctantly ordered his troops to disperse and break out, while he himself entered the valley under the escort of a platoon of British soldiers, and fled to the southeast around the mountain road Even under the attack of heavy tanks, they could not break through the mountain pass that the volunteers held, and now they are scattered and break through the siege, and soon many British troops have not rushed out a few steps, and they were immediately captured alive by the soldiers under Ge Sanmin who surrounded them, most of the British soldiers raised their hands and surrendered, only a few British soldiers took advantage of the gap in the siege of the volunteers, and took the opportunity to slip out of the encirclement, the British brigade commander was also lucky, his fate was big, he didn't know how many falls on the mountain road, and finally under the escort of a platoon of soldiers, ran out of the encirclement of the volunteers and picked up a life.
The Turkish brigade in the valley next to it is not so lucky, these Turkish troops were suppressed by Xiao Zheng and their team on the road below, and they couldn't raise their heads, their weapons and equipment were worse than the American and British troops, but they were better than Xiao Zheng's team I don't know how many times, the brigade commander of this Turkish army was originally a lieutenant general, in order to be able to come to Korea to participate in the war, he was demoted, demoted to a major general, and joined the United Korea with a brigade of Turkish troops, this time following the British army to cover the flank of the US Marine Division, After receiving the order of General Smith to bring the Turkish army to Xinxingli for reinforcements, the Turkish brigade commander hurriedly came by walking the mountain road overnight, although the equipment of the Turkish army is worse than that of the British and American troops, but the combat effectiveness is quite good, especially for the mountain warfare on this side of Changjin Lake in North Korea, the Turkish army can be said to be familiar with the road, so when they suddenly encountered the sudden attack of Xiao Zheng and their volunteer army on the road, they did not appear in a panic like the British and American troops, but under the command of officers at all levels, Quickly occupy the commanding heights on the side of the road, and use the fire of light and heavy machine guns and small artillery to concentrate a little to launch a ferocious attack on the positions of the volunteers The Turkish army's offensive was really fierce, and these Turkish soldiers seemed to be much braver than the British and American troops, the soldiers in front were hit by the bullets from the volunteer positions and fell to the ground, and the Turkish soldiers behind were still desperately rushing towards the high ground, the attack was like waves in the sea, layer upon layer, continuous, plus the Turkish artillery behind began to shell the high ground on both sides of the road, the volunteer army guarding the high ground suffered great casualties, and there were gaps in many positions, and they were about to be broken into by the Turkish army Xiao Zheng watched the battle situation with a telescope in the forward command post, and saw that the Turkish army was attacking fiercely and had the potential to break through the position, so he simply gritted his teeth and threw all the troops of the reserve battalion at hand into it, and ordered all his regiments to immediately launch a general attack on the Turkish army The Turkish brigade commander saw that all the volunteer troops on the valley had rushed down, and the "tick-tock" sound resounded throughout the valley, and seeing the momentum of the Chinese rushing down, the number was more than one of his own brigades, but he did not feel alarmed, and immediately ordered his Turkish soldiers to put on bayonets and fight with the Chinese troops rushing down A large number of volunteer soldiers rushed into the formation of the Turkish army like a tsunami, and those Turkish soldiers fought together, these Turkish soldiers were not to be outdone, and resisted and parried, so that you fought back and forth for a long time, Xiao Zheng, who has always been good at fighting bayonets and hand-to-hand combat, and their volunteer brothers did not have any advantage at all, although the number of the Turkish army was smaller than that of the volunteer brothers, but the stabbing skills were relatively good, and they were much tougher than those American troops who collapsed at the first touch and ran away when they heard the charge.
These can be Xiao Zheng's turn to scratch his head, he has never encountered such a die-hard opponent, he has more people than the Turkish army, and he can't take the slightest advantage in the white-knuckle battle, where can he reason for this When the Turkish brigade commander saw that he had blocked the onslaught of the volunteers, he was very proud in his heart, and bragged to the officers around him: "You see, the Chinese army is like this, as long as we can repel their attack here, we will soon be supported by the allies, and order the team to launch a counterattack, break through the Chinese encirclement, and march towards the Xinxingli Pass" Xiao Zheng saw that the situation was not good, and if he continued to fight, his division might not be able to block this batch of Turkish troops, if he couldn't stop the Turkish army from advancing to Xinxingli here, then his face would be embarrassed, and how would he mix in the team in the future Xiao Zheng was anxious, and hurriedly sent a telegram to Zhou Wu, asking for reinforcements, Zhou Wu didn't expect that Xiao Zheng and they were dealing with the second-rate Turkish army in the union, and it should be no problem with the strength of one of their divisions, so the 35th division of the reserve division commander Tian was placed close to Ge Sanmin's side in advance, so that once something happened to Ge Sanmin, reinforcements could be carried out immediately, and now the battlefield situation has changed, Ge Sanmin and they have completely annihilated the British heavy tank battalion and captured a large number of scattered British troops who broke through, But Xiao Zheng and the others have a situation there, but they can't stop the enemy from advancing to Xinxingli, this battlefield situation is really changing rapidly and unpredictable.
Zhou Wu immediately made a decision and ordered the Tian Division Commander who was on standby: take immediate action, reinforce Xiao Zheng's position, block the highway and mountain passes, besiege the Turkish army and annihilate them all Division Commander Tian was lying in the snow waiting for a distraught heart, and he had long wanted to have a good fight, but the northwest was wheezing, which made the already low temperature even lower, and many soldiers of the 35th Division lurking in the mountains were frostbitten by the severe cold and had to be carried down to undergo amputation. t1706231537:
