Chapter 85: [Battle of Songgufeng] Settlement (3k)
The sound of the bombers passing by made Shen Yan's face change.
He had experienced many battles in [Bloody Battle of Songgufeng]. This book was first published on the daily reading novel app, ttks.tw, providing you with error-free chapters and non-disordered reading experience.
And this time point was the most despairing.
From the fifth hour, the US military started continuous bombing of this highland with an altitude of only 200 meters, throwing countless gasoline incendiary bombs.
Even though the holding time was extended from 5 hours and 13 minutes to 5 hours and 17 minutes,
the soldiers of the 7th Special Operations Brigade still didn't survive the end of the bombing. This small hill was like a fiery hell, which would burn people alive, and there was no hope of survival to be seen.
Dense incendiary bombs fell from the sky.
Flames exploded on the hillside, covering the entire hillside, and the US and puppet troops below the hill began to gather, waiting for the bombing to end to swarm up and completely destroy everything on that small hill.
On the hillside.
Time passed bit by bit.
5 hours 13 minutes... 5 hours 17 minutes... 5 hours 21 minutes...
Shen Yan lay in the trench, having no concept of time.
In this hell seemingly made of fire, everything turned charred black, filled with a pungent burnt smell. It was the smell of burning gasoline mixing with cotton clothes, corpses, and even ammunition.
The toxic gas simulation made Shen Yan almost faint.
The flames burned along the corpses, dead wood, and even wooden gun stocks. The thought of giving up kept coming to his mind. Just one thought and he could exit [Battle of Songgufeng].
Usually... would have exited by now, right?
This thought flashed through Shen Yan's mind.
But at this moment.
Shen Yan felt his right hand being tightly held. The little soldier was still alive and still persisting. The strength transmitted from the palm became the motivation for Shen Yan to persist. 10 minutes... 20 minutes... 30 minutes... until the 40th minute.
The bombing in the sky finally stopped.
At this time, the front line, compared to half a day ago, had been shaved down by two meters under the US military's bombardment, and the entire hillside had turned into a sea of fire.
In the trench.
Faint footsteps reached Shen Yan's ears.
Did the enemy touch up?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Shen Yan, who was in a daze, woke up.
Held out? No! There are enemies!
Shen Yan wanted to control his body to stand up, but found he couldn't control it. He tried his best, but only managed to move his body slightly. The flames had already started burning along the clothes on his body.
The pain of the burns made Shen Yan sober up a bit.
The footsteps got closer and denser. The enemy had already appeared before his eyes, swarming onto the front line. Seeing the enemy getting closer, seeing the twisted smile on the enemy's face after discovering him.
A bugle sound that pierced the sky suddenly exploded.
The urgent bugle sound echoed throughout the front line, accompanied by roars.
"8th Squad! Fix bayonets!!!"
Shen Yan heard the sound and turned his head with difficulty to look.
In the burning front line, Republic Volunteer Army soldiers covered in flames rushed out, charging toward the US troops who had already climbed onto the front line. Shen Yan's eyes were full of shock. How is this possible?
The US troops who charged onto the front line were equally incredulous.
Terrified voices and curses sounded, and a bloody hand-to-hand battle began to happen right before his eyes.
Shen Yan's mind went blank, looking at this scene that completely defied common sense.
The analysis of the photonic supercomputer regarding all the data of [Bloody Battle of Sanso-ri] suddenly rang in his mind.
[If these data are real people... they are using consciousness to forcibly rewrite the limits of the body.]
And right now.
It also defied Blue Star's common sense.
How could this body, ignited by gasoline, erupt with such combat effectiveness...
Can I do it?
A question flashed through Shen Yan's mind, and he looked down at his body.
As this thought flashed, strength surged from somewhere in his body. Shen Yan actually struggled and crawled up:
Shen Yan, who crawled up, looked down at his body.
Perhaps it was the movement of crawling up that woke up the little soldier beside him. The little soldier, also covered in flames, stood up beside Shen Yan, hung a bayonet on the gun in his hand, and aimed at the US troops below.
Kill—!!!
The US troops looked at these soldiers on the front line who couldn't even be burned by flames, charging over regardless with bayonets, showing terror, and fled backward in collapse.
And the time had reached 5 hours and 48 minutes.
Just five minutes later.
The US troops below organized an attack again under orders.
Shen Yan hugged the machine gun he found and fired wildly at the US troops charging down in the burning front line.
He didn't know how long he had been fighting.
The bullets in the machine gun in his hand were gone. Shen Yan threw it away directly, just wanting to bend down to pick up the rifle at his feet.
Bang, a bullet hit Shen Yan in the chest.
After Shen Yan staggered back a few steps, he gritted his teeth, bent down to pick up the rifle, "click-clack" loaded it, walked to the edge of the front line, and started shooting at the US troops below, until the rifle bullets were also gone.
The enemy had already rushed up.
A flash of determination crossed Shen Yan's eyes, and he pounced on them regardless.
Shen Yan tightly strangled a US soldier's neck, his ears filled with terrified sounds.
Bang! Bang!
One shot, two shots... hit the body.
But Shen Yan's hand didn't mean to loosen at all, instead, he used more force.
The US soldier under him gradually lost his struggle, and the sound of surrounding US troops collapsing reached his ears. A smile appeared on Shen Yan's face, and everything before his eyes became more and more blurred. In a daze... the urgent bugle sound rang in his ears again.
Is it an illusion?
No.
Not an illusion. As Shen Yan's consciousness blurred, he could perceive that the surrounding US troops suddenly panicked.
Support had arrived.
This thought flashed through Shen Yan's mind, and the picture before his eyes gradually turned black, and a few big words appeared: [Battle of Songgufeng] Settlement.
Succeeded?
Great Xia Federation.
Songger Icefield, 7th Special Operations Brigade.
Inside the brigade conference room.
The soldiers who had just participated in [Battle of Songgufeng] gathered together.
Many didn't hold out to the end, but many soldiers who did hold out to the end seemed to have transformed.
Just by having so many people together, one could perceive it just by the spirit in their eyes.
This change made many soldiers who didn't hold out to the end feel amazed.
What exactly happened?
Held out for an hour longer than them, and changed so much?
At this time.
Shen Yan looked at the card introduction in front of him.
[Battle of Songgufeng (Unlock condition: Complete the Sanso-ri raid and hold for 48 hours)]
[Title: Iron Defense Line]
[Introduction: November 30, 1950, Western Front of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, 3rd Company, 1st Battalion, 335th Regiment, 112th Division, 38th Army, with the strength of a hundred men, held the Songgufeng nameless highland, blocking the retreat of the US 2nd Division, 25th Division, etc., for more than ten hours, winning key time for the main force to encircle.]
The 3rd Company of the battalion, with a force of only one hundred men, held the nameless highland of Songgufeng to the death, blocking the southward retreat of the U.S. 2nd and 25th Divisions for over ten hours, winning critical time for the main force to complete the encirclement.
[Inherited Tactics: Nail Tactics + Bayonet Combat Mastery (To be unlocked)]
[Note: Nail Tactics: Use craters as bunkers without fortifications, layered resistance (Learning requires surviving to the mid-stage of the battle).]
[Note: Bayonet Combat Mastery: Trigger "Close Combat Mastery" after the bayonet breaks, can use everything to kill the enemy (Learning requires surviving to 5 hours 30 minutes).]
[Node Review: 2 hours 13 minutes (First large-scale air raid), 3 hours 45 minutes (Largest armored charge), 5 hours 30 minutes (Burning front line hand-to-hand combat)]
[Note: Can choose tactical nodes for targeted experience.]
Shen Yan put it away, prepared to take the officers in the brigade to experience the node review first, and then looked at the 150 soldiers in the conference room. He could slightly detect a difference.
"Those who cleared it stay, the rest go back to rest first, and continue training in order."
Shen Yan waved his hand, and the soldiers in the conference room quickly walked out under the leadership of their respective company commanders.
And looking at the 20-plus people left in the conference room, a smile suddenly appeared on Shen Yan's face:
"All are good ones."
"Go to the cafeteria and eat as much as you want later."
"After eating, come with me to take over the Chief of Staff's live stream, and let those guys from other Federations see the combat effectiveness of our Great Xia soldiers."
They were all soldiers who had experienced [Bloody Battle of Sanso-ri] and [Battle of Songgufeng] successfully, and they would definitely be able to compare with the soldiers of other Federations in the live stream and win face for the Great Xia Federation.
As the words fell, the remaining soldiers all showed smiles and said in unison:
"Yes!!!"
Shen Yan also smiled upon seeing this.
At this time.
In the game.
The Empire's offensive had reached Kiev, and the main force south of Kiev was about to be surrounded and annihilated.
And the encirclement of Kiev was also slowly unfolding.
But the highest popularity now was not the scene of the battlefield, but the life-sim streamers.
The title of Duan Yu's live stream room had been changed to [Challenge Kiev Survival 100 Days, Day 8!], and entering the live stream room, what met the eyes was Duan Yu smiling and shining leather shoes.
After shining the shoes, the customer paid and left in a hurry.
Duan Yu carefully put the money away, and the new viewers in the live stream room had faces full of question marks.
[What exactly is this doing? Is Blue Star's work not enough for you to fight? Ran into the game to shine shoes for others?]
[md... this is purely a cow-horse game, working during the day, and shining shoes in the game at night.]
[How the hell did this get popular? Brushing???]
[Yeah, inexplicably, life-sim streamers have suddenly become popular a lot these past two days.]
[Hahahahaha, you'll know in a while.]
[??????]
Duan Yu looked around, and at the same time, the live stream chat scrolled:
"Don't rush, brothers."
"This game is quite connotative."
"You'll know in a while."
The old fans in the live stream room couldn't hold it anymore.
[Laughing to death, who said a few days ago that this was a damn game?]
[Recognized the father after being full?]
[Sure enough, money can change a person. Started blowing up the game as soon as the live stream became popular.]
[One thing to say, the plot of this game is really good.]
Before the sarcasm in the chat finished scrolling, Duan Yu looked at the chaos happening in the distance and hurriedly packed up his toolbox and ran over:
"Brothers."
"It's time to live stream the viciousness of human nature again!!!"
