Chapter 3 Crazy Heaven and Blood

"I'm just a fucking genius, a real super genius!"

Commander Smith was not stingy with his praise for himself, and he was indeed qualified to be praised.

It was in the early morning of the 28th that Commander Smith's premonition became reality. Commander Smith found that he was really a super genius. He should be a soldier in his life and receive this salary! All his premonitions were verified. He repeatedly disobeyed Commander Almond. He ordered the First Marine Division to slow down the marching speed. When other troops were attacking at full speed, he even committed crimes in a small town like Xiayuli. He wasted time and taxpayers' money to build military airports, and even transferred the division command there. He did it right and did a great job!

If it weren't for the carefulness of Commander Smith, if it wasn't for his orders to maintain necessary communications and communications, if it wasn't for his orders to be sniped, he would only advance a small distance every day, and determine the location of the troops in advance, his first Marine Division would really be eaten by the Chinese army!

But even so, the First Land War Division was still in great danger.

"Report, report, report to the commander!"

The commanders were reporting everywhere. The commanders were eager to connect their vocal cords directly to the division commander's eardrum through the telephone line. They shouted: "We have been attacked, we have been attacked by a large number of Chinese troops!"

Without these commanders saying more, Commander Smith could understand the situation faced by these commanders. Through the phone, he could clearly hear the dense gunfire, the waves of dense shelling, and the sound of the unique bronze horns of the Chinese army on the battlefield. When a regiment commander closest to the front line reported to Commander Smith, Commander Smith even heard the crazy roar of the Chinese soldiers when charging.

Listening to the roar of the Chinese soldiers charging, the calm smile on Commander Smith's face finally disappeared. Through the telephone line, he could clearly smell the strong murderous aura emitted from the Chinese soldiers. Now the attacking troops are not one or several troops, but a group of hungry and cold. They must eat their meat and drink their blood, otherwise they will starve to death and freeze to death. They are just a group of crazy machines that see blood, whose eyes are completely red, and their hearts are all left with crazy machines that attack, attack and attack again!

"Don't panic," Commander Smith roared: "Report to me immediately how many enemies are attacking you!"

"It is impossible to judge, there are enemies everywhere, there are loud horns everywhere, and there are Chinese troops charging us... My God!"

More than a dozen flares were hit into the air. With the dizzy white light drawn from the flares in the air, a commander who was reporting the battle to Commander Smith's commander widened his eyes.

It was amid the crazy shouts and the sound of the bronze trumpet that the Chinese soldiers launched the most violent attack on the defensive positions of the Landing Division 1. He could not tell how many Chinese soldiers were, because looking around, there were people everywhere, and waves of attacking echelons were everywhere.

The new recruits in the First Land War Division who had not experienced World War II really don’t understand. They were charging forward with light and heavy machine guns and bombarded by mortars, and they would die the fastest when they rushed to the front. Why can Chinese soldiers still rush so vigorously and rush so crazy? It seems that what they are facing is not the position at all, but full of money and a paradise full of beauties!

The heavy pressure unique to the charge of thousands of troops, the sound of charges one after another, the crazy roars with cold shiver, and the thin rubber shoes of Chinese soldiers step on the snow, mixing together, forming a craziest and heavier battle drum bell on the battlefield.

The officers and soldiers of the First Land Division who had really fought with the Chinese army for the first time finally understood what the Chinese soldiers were fighting. The Chinese army lacked suppressive firepower and attacked by heavy-caliber artillery, but they were not afraid of death. When tens of thousands of people launched a charge together, the momentum, the power of tens of thousands of legs raised and stepped down again and again, even the earth seemed to be forced to shake with their rhythm.

The officers and soldiers of the First Marine Division once heard that Japanese soldiers believed in Bushido and would never surrender on the battlefield. They would commit suicide in the face of failure to thank the Emperor. When they heard these from veterans, they always regarded these hearings as pastimes after dinner. But today, looking at the Chinese soldiers who were carrying light and heavy machine guns and charging constantly on their companions, they finally understood what a warrior who was more Bushido than Bushido! They finally knew that in this world, there were really no fear of death!

In the darkness, the accuracy of machine gun strafing was severely affected, and suddenly the attack was caught off guard. Because the weather was too cold, a considerable number of weapons did not perform as they should have. More than ten minutes later, the Chinese army successfully broke into the first line of defense of the First Land Division.

When the two sides finally started close combat, the overwhelming grenades smashed down at the officers and soldiers of the First Land War Division hiding in the trenches. Looking at the grenades that were smoking all over the ground, the veterans and grassroots officers who had experienced World War II suddenly let out a hysterical mad howl: "What are you still standing there? Kick the grenades around you away!"

The officers and soldiers of the First Land War Division were like dancing a tap dance. They tried their best to kick the grenades that landed beside them, but more grenades were thrown at them one by one. The officers and soldiers of the First Land War Division soon discovered that the grenades dropped by Chinese soldiers may have been because the casting of the shells was not accurate, and there were not many shrapnel produced after the explosion. After some grenades exploded, the shells even cracked into two pieces. As long as the grenades were not just landing at their feet, their lethality was really limited.

Even they themselves didn't know how many grenades they kicked away, how many grenades exploded beside them, and how many thin shrapnel were embedded in their bodies. When the storm-like grenade offensive finally came to an end, everyone was still in shock, those veterans and grassroots officers who had experienced World War II and had bloody battles with the Japanese army on various islands in the Pacific all shouted in pain, "God Bless"!

Because they all understood that the hand-to-hand combat that they had the most headache and least unwilling to see was about to begin! Almost at the same time, the heavy snow predicted by the intelligence gate finally came. Whether it was the Chinese soldiers or the veterans of the First Division of the Land War who participated in World War II, they all knew that in the worst battlefield where the temperature had dropped to minus 30 degrees Celsius, even if they were only slightly injured, if they could not be treated in time, they would be frozen to death due to blood loss in their bodies!

The Chinese soldiers also met the officers and soldiers of the First Land War Division, led by veterans and grassroots commanders who participated in World War II, and formed the most terrifying defensive fortress with their superior weapons.

In a hurry to fight, the officers and soldiers of the First Land War Division used tanks as steel walls to form a circular fortification, and combined with their heavy machine guns, artillery, carbines and M1 rifles, formed fire support points one by one. The powerful firepower and effective defense methods all cost the Chinese soldiers a heavy price.

This is destined to be a crazy bloody battle with no way out!

...

The fierce battle of the night finally stopped in the first ray of sunshine in the early morning of the 28th. Commander Smith, who was guarding the phone with red eyes, could finally take a reconnaissance helicopter and stand high at a high altitude, and use his own eyes to personally observe the current status of the First Land War Division.

Looking at the land below the reconnaissance plane, which became as small as the command room's deduction sand table, and looking at the defensive position of the Landing Division 1, Commander Smith couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Chinese troops of at least one division have successfully occupied Fushengli and Xiaomintai through interspersed combat, and cut off the return of the 1st Marine Division to retreat south; and the 58th Division of the 25th Army of the Chinese 25th Army has formed a three-sided attack on the 1st Marine Division; in Deeiying Ridge and Xinxingli, there are also Chinese troops of about one division that have carried out a perfect drill-through attack on the 1st Marine Division, cutting the troops of the 1st Marine Division, which was already too scattered, into two pieces that cannot be taken into account at the head and tail.

In Liutanli, the vanguard of the First Land War Division of the 1st Land War Division had been fighting with the Chinese army for a whole night, and the troops of both sides were still in a stalemate. If Commander Smith's judgment was not wrong, the one who attacked the vanguard of the First Land War Division of the 1st Land War Division should be the 59th Division of the Chinese!

The First Land War Division is now really surrounded by enemies and has no help. At least three divisions have surrounded them. And even if the First Land War Division can break through the siege of these three Chinese divisions with their powerful firepower advantages, just look at the long and occupied area behind them, Commander Smith will understand that on their way home, the Chinese soldiers have set up layers of death ladders.

When he got off the reconnaissance plane, Commander Smith once again received an order from Commander Almond. He glanced at the documents sent to him by the Chief of Staff. Smith didn't say anything more. He really had nothing to say. It was because General MacArthur had not changed the combat plan based on the current situation on the battlefield, so General Almond's order was actually... "Marines, keep the original order and attack forward!"

No one can say that General Almond's order is wrong. Sometimes, soldiers know that there is a mountain of swords and seas of fire in front of them, and once they step into it, they will never look back. They have to bite the bullet and rush in.

Commander Smith looked at the Chief of Staff. The Chief of Staff, who also understood the situation of the First Division of the Land War, had a bitter smile on his face. He carefully folded the document and put it in his pocket. Commander Smith looked up at the hazy sky above his head, and occasionally sprinkled a few snowflakes, feeling the silence and solemnity between the sky and the earth, and said softly: "It seems that we must fight for our survival!"

"Let's go."

Seeing that Commander Smith had climbed onto the reconnaissance plane again, the Chief of Staff asked subconsciously: "Where to go?"

Commander Smith slowly exhaled a long breath from his lungs, watching them form a white water vapor visible to the naked eye in the cold air. Because of his gentle and elegant appearance, this division commander who has always been considered by his boss General Almond, who lacked the strong temperament of a soldier, suddenly raised a trace of gold and gravel in his eyes. Commander Smith said in a deep voice: "If the Chinese army wants to eat our Land War Division, it must capture Jieyuli. It is the decisive strategic location for whether our Land War Division can survive. The temporary airport under construction is also the last major artery of life of the Land War Division. As the supreme commanders of the Land War Division, you and I have to go to Jieyuli at this time!"

Commander Smith and the Chief of Staff rushed to Jieyuli and established their division command in such a small town. Their arrival undoubtedly injected a needle into this small town with weak defense.

He recruited all the officers, and looked at these subordinates who were surrounded and had no fear on their faces, Commander Smith pulled the extremely stupid command document issued by General Almond to pieces in front of everyone.

"We are surrounded. I expect that at least ten times the Chinese army will surround us. And our superiors are still ordering us to attack! At this time, we have no reinforcements to rely on. If we want to survive, we must use our own strength to break through the siege!"

Smith looked around the audience. His voice was not loud, but it had a shocking power: "I have fought two world wars. I and Germany, who are the most mechanized, like to gather superior forces and engage in blitzkriegs with high-mobile armored combat vehicles, tanks, and artillery. I and Japanese soldiers, who are known as individual shooting technology A, personal willpower A, and tactics B, are on various islands in the Pacific just for small mountain bags, one by one, one may lurk one by one.

The valley of the troops has been repeatedly confronted. I thought I had seen the best and most powerful army in the world, and I was even more proud of being an American soldier. But now I must admit that in this damn land of North Korea, I have encountered another powerful and respectable army! They have the same bravery as Japanese soldiers, but their tactics are more flexible and weird than Japanese soldiers, and of course, they are more difficult to deal with!"

The audience was in a state of solemnity, and everyone was listening quietly to Commander Smith's speech.

"But I want everyone to think about how we, the United States, drove away British colonists and established a free and powerful country two hundred years ago! I want everyone to think about what we, the United States, had when we resisted the world's number one military power, and what determination did our most respectable President Washington sign the Declaration of Independence that will make our United States prosperous and powerful!"

Commander Smith raised his voice and shouted, "I tell you why we can win! That's because in the blood of us Americans, we have the greatest adventure spirit to overcome everything, and in the hearts of each of us, we have the fanaticism and explosive power of the Western cowboy!"

"It is with this fanaticism and explosive power that we defeated the British colonists. It is with this fanaticism and our increasingly powerful national strength that we tied the balance of victory to ourselves little by little in the Pacific Ocean, and through the bloody battle of Midway, it fatally damaged the Japanese Navy and won the final victory! I don't want to tell you who should we fight for in this damn war. I just want everyone to go back to life, for our loved ones and families, I want you to take out the cowboy-like adventure spirit in your blood. I want you and me to return to the United States alive together, instead of throwing your body on such a damn plain full of ice!"

Commander Smith slashed his arm hard, and he shouted wildly: "Children, gentlemen, take out all your courage, we should fight to the death!"

At this time, everyone's breathing was heavy! At this time, everyone's eyes lit up! A breath of disobedience rose from everyone, slowly with Commander Smith as the core, gathering into an absolute ostentatious atmosphere. No matter how desperate the situation is, you must break the deadlock with your strength!

Commander Smith is right. If the Japanese army is tycooning the world because of their deliberate inculcation of the Bushido spirit and using the team atmosphere to force everyone to abide by the concept of "if you fail, you will become a good person", then the reason why the United States has risen rapidly in less than two hundred years is that their entire nation is full of adventure and can burst out with the most terrifying sprinting power when facing desperate situations!

It was on this day that the First Land Division troops with weak defensive power in Jieyuli suddenly burst out with the most terrifying combat power. They were already forced to a desperate situation and had to explode!

The simple airport ordered by Commander Smith to be built, only one-quarter of the runway was completed. The Marines in charge of the construction were driving bulldozers and road rollers to repair the runway 24 hours a day, while holding M1s or carbines in the cockpit, desperately sniping at the Chinese soldiers who rushed across the defense line and launched an attack on them.

The First Army Division, who were divided into several regiment commanders in every corner of the battlefield by the Chinese army, were also crazy. Under the protection of fighter jets and bombers, and with the support of absolute superior firepower, they led their troops to move closer to Jieyuli regardless of everything. The commanders who were able to be recognized by Commander Smith were veterans who participated in World War II. None of these regiment commanders with rich practical experience were foolish people like General Almond. They all understood that if the commander in Jieyuli was lost, the First Army Division lost a soul like Commander Smith, who could command the entire army, they could only fight for their own battles and become a mess.

With just a regiment as a unit, they will never be able to break through the layers of sniping of the Chinese army and fight a way to survive back to the southern base!

...

Ten days later, when the first US heavy transport aircraft finally landed successfully in Jieyuli, this simple airport that Commander Smith bet on everything the soldiers and disobeyed military orders and finally built became the last major artery of life for the First Land Warfare Division to communicate with the outside world.

There is no need to tell what kind of battle the few regiment commanders who finally assembled to the division commander had experienced in the past ten days. We only need to know that more than 10,000 troops gathered in Jieyuli, and transported more than 5,000 wounded people through military transport planes alone. This is really enough!

Looking at the remaining 5,000 officers and soldiers of the First Army Division in front of him, Commander Smith looked south from afar. At this time, the Chinese army had two armies, more than 80,000 troops, and they surrounded them from both sides. On their way to the southern base camp, there were six Chinese troops, which set up layers of defense to block their way home. The Chinese army had obviously made up their minds to eat their well-trained and well-equipped troops, and actually invested a large army of more than 100,000 people!
