Chapter 846 The first phase of the task (for Lao Qi 18/40)
"Comrades, start running, keep on running, and never stop. You have to wait until your whole body is warmed up before you can stop."
Hu Biao, the instructor from the first battalion, roared with all his strength.
Looking at the soldiers staggering past, his eyes were filled with distress.
Under such an order, a large number of volunteer soldiers with purple lips crossed the United Guo Army position with mechanical steps and chased the defeated troops.
By the way! After the battle started, the defenders spent several days carefully preparing the defenses.
Neither the barbed wire that was pulled up in advance nor the numerous landmines planted in front of the position caused much trouble to the volunteers.
The artillery unit of the Volunteer Army, when preparing for the artillery fire, blasted several safe passages for them along the way.
After passing through these safe passages, when the Volunteer Army soldiers rushed forward, they quickly defeated the demoralized South Korean puppet troops on the position.
They dropped their weapons and began to retreat frantically towards the back.
Compared with these, the biting cold is the biggest trouble that the volunteers currently encounter.
Long before the attack was launched, Hu Biao and the others secretly moved to the attack position in advance, and then lay there waiting for more than an hour.
In just over an hour, everyone in the Central Continent Team understood how difficult the situation that the Ice Withering Company encountered back then was.
What do they have to endure while waiting for the enemy to arrive?
The biting coldness rises from the ground and penetrates into the seams of the bones. It seems that the internal organs are frozen into lumps of ice. It is really unbearable.
When the battle began, Hu Biao found that many volunteer soldiers actually had their heads frozen.
Mechanically, he followed them and rushed forward.
In the following period, the actual casualties caused by the joint artillery counterattack by the Guo Army were not large, but a large number of soldiers fell into the water in the process.
Once the large cotton pants and cotton shoes of the volunteers are soaked in water, it will be a huge disaster.
Anyway, in the process of rushing over, Hu Biao, who also unfortunately fell into the river, felt that his legs, starting from his toes and ending at the top of his thighs, seemed to have lost consciousness.
Even he himself didn't know how he could run in his current state.
Perhaps it was the ordinary volunteer soldiers around him who had no bloodline power at all and had never practiced any physical refining techniques, who were shouting loudly and marching forward at this moment.
In such a situation, they have no face to stop.
It's night! Hu Biao's right-wing front, all the participating troops completely broke through the Imjin River defense line of the United Guo Army within an hour.
The 42nd and 66th armies on the left wing are also making very smooth progress.
The South Korean puppet troops, who were the main force of their defense, were defeated and fled in a very short period of time. Suddenly, a scene that caught both sides of the war in surprise appeared:
Currently in the Han*Cheng area, the 100,000-strong United Guo Army led by Li Qiwei is exposed to the front of the Volunteer Army.
Immediately, the Volunteer Army shouted slogans to invade Han* City and capture Li Qiwei and Li Chengwan alive.
For Li Qiwei, a newly appointed commander of the Eighth Army of the General Army, based on the flaw he discovered in the volunteer army, he now needs to evacuate immediately.
Try to preserve your own strength as much as possible, evacuate to the vicinity of the 39th parallel, and wait until the combat supplies carried by the volunteers are exhausted before launching a counterattack again.
In short, in the following period.
The two sides of the war began to fight fiercely around the above themes; the first phase of Hu Biao's mission was also triggered under such circumstances...
******
Time: January 2, 1951, early 7 o'clock in the evening.
"What the hell! It was definitely Li Qiwei's grandson who gave the order. Otherwise, how could it have happened? It's such a pity that so many combat supplies were burned down."
Look at the fire that is currently burning fiercely because it has been doused with a lot of gasoline.
Not only did he have a variety of cans, biscuits and other food, but also tents, blankets and other cold-proof supplies. Hu Biao's heart was full of pity and he cursed in his mouth.
Generally speaking, the 1st Battalion of the 442nd Regiment, where Hu Biao belongs, has gone very smoothly in the past two days of battles.
A large number of South Goryeo puppet troops and a small number of United Guo troops were constantly separated and surrounded by them. After being surrounded, they began to annihilate them one by one, or captured them.
It is a pity that the captures in each battle are not large.
Before evacuating, they destroyed almost everything that could be used, so that although the volunteers have captured a lot of prisoners, the amount of supplies they have obtained is very limited.
Even the small amount of medicine and food he carried was distributed to the wounded among the prisoners.
No! At noon, one of Hu Biao's cans was taken away by the instructor, saying it was used to carry out our army's tradition of preferential treatment of prisoners.
Hu Biao had no objection to this point.
Facts have long proven that this fine tradition of our army often plays a huge role in many cases.
However, the method of uniting with General Guo to burn almost all the supplies that could not be taken away was a bit excessive; even if he knew that this was actually Li Qiwei's order.
This shrewd old man from Uncle Sam's family has discovered the flaws of the Volunteer Army and has taken corresponding measures.
But in his great depression, Hu Biao also wanted to find serious soldiers and deal with them severely; not these weak puppet troops in South Korea.
It was at this time that the company commander, who was called by the battalion commander to hand over the mission, hurried back.
After standing firm, he shouted: "All the members of the Second Company have gathered. The regiment headquarters ordered our company to immediately penetrate to the north of Gaoyang, Huiyin Ling and Bitili areas, and we must block the joint Guo Army."
~”
Under the high-pitched order from the second company commander, all the soldiers of the second company put down all the work they were doing and began to gather urgently.
Of course, it also includes a group of 44 people from the Central Continent Team.
It's just that during such a process, these people seemed to be a little confused.
Don't blame them, because at this moment, they all came to this mission, and half a month later, the first phase of the mission was finally triggered.
The cold mechanical sound of the system sounded in everyone's heads:
"Congratulations to Commander Hu Biao, and to all members of the Zhongzhou Team, the system has officially triggered the first phase of this mission. Please pay attention to the following mission requirements.
First, wipe out the British Royal Heavy Tank Battalion before January 5, 1950.
If any tank escapes by then, the Zhongzhou team will be considered a failure in this phase of the mission.
The specific punishment will be implemented in a tiered system. On the basis of a guaranteed random killing of five people, one additional person will be killed for each escaped tank.
Second, after the battle, the number of surviving members of the Zhongzhou team must be no less than 20. If the number is less than 20, the first phase of the mission will be considered a failure.
After the mission fails, 5 people will be directly wiped out as a punishment system.
Third, during the first phase of this mission, all members of the Central Continent team are not restricted by any activity area.
Finally, I wish Commander Hu Biao and the members of the Zhongzhou Team all the best..."
