Chapter 83 A Last Stand (Additional Update)
"The seventh interleaved company, the entire army is advancing, the target is the highest command post of the US military on the eastern front!"
Wu Qianli directly and loudly gave the order to the comrades of the 7th Intermediate Company, and everyone immediately stood up reflexively and stepped forward with firm steps. This moment was finally coming.
"Damn it, it's time for us to get ready for this battle and have a good meal and blow it up."
As the prelude to the war slowly unfolded, a trace of fluctuation appeared on Lei Gong's originally calm face.
The so-called firing means that the soldiers of the artillery platoon have loaded the shells and ammunition for the mortar, which is used to refer to the preparation before firing.
In the previous battles, although the artillery cards performed well, due to the limitations of the artillery shells, they were constantly being fired, and I always had a lot of energy in my heart, just waiting for the next battle to be released.
Different from the excitement of the soldiers of the 7th Interleaving Company, US military officers Miller and William were leading the way forward in fear.
At first, U.S. military officer Miller thought about taking Wu Qianli in the wrong direction, making a big bend and then heading towards the U.S. military's highest headquarters on the center line.
But Wu Qianli saw from the small dynamic combat map that in the direction they were going, when the number of American troops was getting smaller and smaller, he directly put the bayonet on the neck of the American officer Miller again.
After Miller and William realized Wu Qianli's insight, they did not dare to play tricks and honestly led them in the direction of the headquarters of the 1st U.S. Marine Division.
After the 7th Interleaved Company moved forward for a while, the frequency of heavy white snow falling on them slowed down, and even the howling cold wind seemed to have been weakened a lot.
"Brother, it seems that God is helping us with this terrible weather. It has finally calmed down a bit."
Wu Wanli felt the wind and snow weakening, and I said to Wu Qianli with some joy.
However, when he finished speaking, he found that no one in the seventh interleaved company answered his words. Instead, Wu Qianli and others had a solemn look on their faces.
"Guawazi, do you really think it will be of such great benefit to us if this bad weather subsides?"
Lei Gong stretched out a pair of calloused hands and felt that the number of snow particles falling from the sky was decreasing. Instead of looking happy at all, he sighed slowly.
Seeing their appearance, Wu Wanli suddenly scratched his head in confusion. Then just when he was about to continue asking, Wu Qianli in front suddenly made a gesture to stop the soldiers of the 7th interleaving company.
Suddenly on alert.
"No, it's an American plane! Everyone immediately lie down on the spot and hide, so as not to be discovered!"
After Wu Qianli noticed something was wrong, he immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully to the sounds in the distance.
After listening for a short while, his keen sense of hearing immediately detected the roar of the US military aircraft engines, which immediately caused all the comrades of the 7th Intermediate Company to lie down on the snow.
“Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz—”
Not long after the soldiers of the 7th Interleaved Company had just taken cover, the US military planes flew over their heads quickly with bursts of roars, but they did not stay long before continuing to fly forward.
Every soldier of the 7th Interchange Company was wearing a white cloak, and their bodies and heads were covered with heavy snow and frost, so it was difficult for US military aircraft to detect them.
"I'm afraid there is another reason. These American devils don't believe that there are volunteers who have already reached this position."
Wu Qianli looked at the plane flying away in the sky and murmured silently.
Their goal was definitely not the 7th Interpenetrating Company, but to rush to the frontline positions. The slowdown in the howling wind and snow gave the soldiers a better living environment, but it also gave the US military aircraft a greater use.
"So that's it. I thought it was simple. It's better to make the wind and snow stronger."
Wu Wanli blinked his tired eyes, looked at the US military planes flying away, and shook his head helplessly.
Now he finally understood the meaning of Lei Gong's words. Although nothing happened to the 7th Interleaved Company at the moment, those volunteer comrades in the distance might suffer.
"Cheer up and keep moving forward. If you want to make the fight easier for our friendly forces, then we must do the things in front of us."
After confirming that the US military aircraft had flown far away, Wu Qianli took the 7th interleaving company to explore deeper into the snow curtain.
During the journey, Wu Qianli followed the guidance on the small dynamic map and had the company stop or take detours several times, and even once passed by a US military reconnaissance team.
After narrowly escaping all U.S. military reconnaissance and vigilance, they finally arrived at a location not far from the U.S. Army's Eastern Front High Command.
After arriving at this position, Miller, the US military officer who had been leading the way for the 7th Intersection Company, looked at Wu Qianli next to him with some disbelief.
He originally thought that with so many command troops and reconnaissance teams near the command post, this arrogant guy would be discovered, and he would still be able to find a chance to escape.
But what he didn't expect was that, as if with divine help, this Volunteer Army officer cleverly evaded all the U.S. military security forces and penetrated into the deepest heart of the U.S. military.
"Oh, I have to admire you, sir. You seem to be blessed by God. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be unbelievable."
Miller, a US military officer, praised the team in a low voice in English, as if he was preparing for what he was going to say. However, his mouth opened as if there was something he had not finished saying.
"Haha, thank you for the compliment, but it's a pity that I'm an Oriental, and I don't believe in your set of God's values. I believe in man's victory over nature more than any gods or gods."
After Wu Qianli finished speaking, he glanced at Miller and no longer wanted to talk nonsense. He was not interested in what he wanted to say.
"Sir, although it is indeed a great miracle and glory that you can reach this point, if you continue to fight like this, it is very likely that your entire army will be wiped out and your achievements will be in vain."
"Why don't you join the liberal democratic camp of our US military? Although I am only a grassroots officer, my father is a senior official in the US military. I will definitely be able to introduce you to good treatment and official positions."
Miller, an American military officer, clenched his fists and suggested to Wu Qianli cautiously as if he had taken great courage.
It's not that Miller is too naive or stupid, but that he understands that at this point he is useless and may be directly frozen through his body by military spikes and become a corpse buried in the snow.
Instead of doing this, it is better to try to find an opportunity to persuade Wu Qianli. After all, in the eyes of the US military, no country or group is more important than the individual, interests and individual freedom and glory.
When William, the US military officer on the other side, heard Miller's words, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. He couldn't believe that his old friend was so bold.
However, according to his observation, it seems that only Wu Qianli in the entire army is proficient in English. The other volunteer soldiers should not be able to understand these few sentences to persuade them to surrender.
So William also had some unlikely expectations in his heart, and turned his head to look at Wu Qianli.
Wu Qianli almost laughed to death after hearing what this US military officer said. Who gave these two the courage to take the ball and actually wanted to persuade him to surrender.
"If you continue to talk nonsense, I guarantee that you will not see the sun tomorrow."
He glanced at them coldly, and a murderous look made Miller and William shut their mouths instantly, no longer daring to speak.
After walking for a short distance, the number of US military patrols became smaller. It was obvious that they had great confidence in the safety of this heart area.
As time went by, the light in the sky gradually dimmed.
The dark night with a hint of murderous intent shrouded the vast white snow. Under the dual effects of clouds and heavy snow, the white moon and even the stars in the sky lost any light.
Fortunately, when Wu Qianli replenished his troops, he told his boss in advance that no soldiers with night blindness would be wanted, so the 7th Intermediate Company did not have to worry about this disadvantage in night battles.
For the sake of safety and to minimize risks, Wu Qianli and Pinghe took the reconnaissance platoon to observe the deployment of the US military's highest command post on the eastern front.
"Company Commander, the US military's firepower points are very carefully arranged, and they are backed by powerful and dangerous terrain. If we rely on a small number of people to attack by force, I am afraid that there will not even be a wave, and the US military will directly eat them up."
After arriving at the investigation location, Pinghe observed carefully and made a conclusion to Wu Qianli.
Wu Qianli took a look at the situation inside the command post with a telescope and found that the US military's defense and firepower were indeed very dominant.
However, the US soldiers in charge of security in the command post had a relaxed expression on their faces and chatted with their companions without warning. There was even a US non-commissioned officer secretly drinking some wine inside.
It’s no wonder that these US soldiers are too vigilant. If your enemy is blocked in front of several main US military divisions, you may be more unscrupulous than them.
"It seems that if we want to fight, we have to catch them off guard. This is our greatest advantage. We must not fall into a war of attrition or a battle of fortification."
Wu Qianli slowly put down the telescope and sighed in a low voice.
However, although most people in the current US military command post were not very wary, they were still monolithic. Wu Qianli had been observing for a long time and could not find any flaws.
But just when Wu Qianli took off his military cap and grabbed his hair with some annoyance, suddenly a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, as if he remembered something important.
"That's right, why do you keep thinking about fighting stereotyped battles in the traditional way? I still have useless things given to me by the system."
Wu Qianli sighed silently in his heart. On the way back, he also solved all the outposts and hidden outposts placed by the US military on the periphery, and then brought the soldiers of the 7th interleaved company to the 1st US Marine Division.
In front of the headquarters.
"Use Battlefield Opportunities to get cards."
After Wu Qianli saw that everything was ready, he muttered something silently in his heart.
"Ding - a host has opened battlefield opportunities to obtain card effects. Please pay close attention to changes in the battlefield and seize opportunities."
The cold system prompt echoed in Wu Qianli's mind as a reminder, and then disappeared instantly, but it didn't even mention the specific opportunity.
"Pinghe, take all the comrades in the reconnaissance platoon and disperse, pay close attention to the situation at the headquarters of the First U.S. Marine Division. If you notice anything unusual, come and tell me immediately."
After watching for a while, Wu Qianli didn't find any movement, but he calmed down and simply let Ping He look for opportunities first, while he continued to lie on the cold snow and observe the movements of the US military.
Pinghe didn't have any unnecessary nonsense, he just nodded slightly, then slowly stood up from the snow, and quietly left his original position with the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon.
In the command post of the 1st U.S. Marine Division, the beeping telegrams were heard all the time, but as the supreme commander, Smith sat leisurely on a chair and sipped the coffee brewed by his subordinates, quite leisurely.
Although he still maintained his comfortable life during the war, he was by no means a fool who did not do practical things in the military.
"Tell the troops stationed on the first line of defense that I will increase supplies and air force resources for them. However, in terms of reinforcements, I cannot allocate more troops to them for the time being, so that they can continue to hold on and must not let go.
Come in a volunteer."
While drinking the steaming coffee in his hand, Smith gave his order in unquestionable words.
After processing the battle report from the front line, he frowned and looked at a large combat map in front of him with his back hand, which showed the general situation of the US military and volunteer forces in very fine detail.
"General Smith, General Almond has sent you another urgent telegram and wants you to see it in person."
Just as Smith was carefully calculating the situation of the battle, a discordant voice instantly disrupted his thoughts.
He endured the dissatisfaction in his heart and grabbed the urgent telegram in his hand. After looking at it for a few times, he frowned and threw the telegram hard back on the table.
