Chapter 77: [Battle of Songgufeng (Locked)] (3k)

As the order from afar was conveyed,

Shen Yan and Liu Feng and others felt their brains "boom" as if they had exploded.

Wrong, all wrong.

When watching the CG at the beginning, plus the training during this period.

Everyone thought that the key to 【Bloody Battle at Soseori】 was the sentence at the end of the CG: "Five minutes ahead of the enemy, occupy Soseori!".

However... the word "bloody battle" represents what it means, there is no doubt.

The title already explains everything.

The troops that had just experienced a battle in Dechuan, immediately rushed 70 kilometers of mountain roads without stopping all night, and then didn't even have five minutes to rest, and had to start fighting.

Shen Yan and the others thought that being able to run here was the peak infantry of the Republic.

But now, the peak infantry of the Republic once again refreshed the cognition of Shen Yan and others.

The main force soon acted.

The 1st Special Battalion led by Shen Yan also followed the main force and ambushed on the hillside.

Looking into the distance.

The vanguard of the American Freedom Federation's mechanized unit was slowly driving on the main road, the tank's turret slowly turning,

The machine gunner on it was observing the surroundings.

The mechanized unit below was getting closer and closer.

Shen Yan's breathing gradually held, his eyes staring fixedly at the mechanized unit below, his muzzle aimed at the machine gunner on one of the tanks.

Bang!

A series of muffled sounds of mortar firing rang out, and then a roar came to everyone's ears:

"Shoot!!!"

The ambushed Republic Volunteer Army and Shen Yan and others fired at the American Freedom Federation soldiers below for the first time. Under the sudden surprise attack, the American Freedom Federation army was in a

But relying on the impenetrable wall of the tank armor.

They quickly organized a counterattack. One by one, the tank barrels turned toward the hillside, and shells were fired. Explosions soared into the sky, coordinated with the machine gun fire suppression from the tanks.

The situation on the battlefield changed in an instant.

And Shen Yan lay prone in one spot here, focusing her mind and calming her breath.

Bang! One shot took out a tank machine gunner, but the muzzle quickly turned toward her. Shen Yan rolled and retreated backward.

Boom!!!

The shell blasted a large crater into the ground, but it didn't hurt Shen Yan.

Shen Yan quickly scrambled up, commanding the soldiers of the Special First Battalion under her to begin firing at the tank machine gunners below the canyon.

Having been tortured for so long by Simo Häyhä in 【White Death】, the people of the 7th Special Operations Brigade could almost all be considered little sharpshooters.

They quickly picked off one tank machine gunner after another, while the Republic Volunteer Army side organized squads with Molotov cocktails to throw at the tanks below.

The flames of the Molotov cocktails exploded on the American tanks, but they could not stop the tanks' advance.

The mortars on the mountain bombarded the center of the canyon incessantly. The battle, which had lasted for a long time, finally caused the American tanks to begin stopping in the middle of the canyon.

But the American tanks following closely behindted pushed aside the tanks in front, intending to charge straight through.

Boom—!

Boom!

At this moment.

Three Republic Volunteer Army soldiers suddenly appeared, covered in flames.

Two of them used engineer shovels to jam the tank tracks, while the third aimed a Molotov cocktail at the exhaust vent and shoved it in. In an instant, a sky-high wave of fire and air pressure expanded.

Following the throwing of the Molotov cocktails, combined with the desperate throwing of explosive satchels, one tank after another began to be detonated.

The road in the canyon was successfully blocked.

The unwilling vanguard of the American 9th Corps continuously used tanks to ram the tanks piled up in front of the canyon, but seeing more and more of them, they simply could not move them.

After several hours of fighting, they were forced to retreat.

The smoke of gunpowder permeated the battlefield, tanks were burning in the canyon below, the pungent smell filled the nasal cavity, and everywhere the eye could see were mangled corpses.

Shen Yan watched the slowly departing American mechanized troops and crawled up from behind the bunker.

After several hours of fighting, with shells falling at close range, her ears were already buzzing and ringing; she couldn't recover for a long time and could only shout loudly:

"Liu Feng! Liu Feng!"

She shouted a few times, but there was no response.

Shen Yan felt her arm being tugged a few times, and she turned to look.

It was a soldier from the Special First Battalion, who opened his mouth to ask loudly:

"Where is your battalion commander?"

The Special First Battalion soldier pointed into the distance, where there were only dense shell craters and charred corpses lying all around.

Seeing this, Shen Yan felt a lump in her throat and turned to look.

One, two, three... seventeen.

From the original three hundred people in the Special First Battalion, only seventeen remained.

But the battle was not yet over.

Seeing that it was impossible to break through here, part of the American 9th Corps vanguard turned and headed toward Longyuanli in the west.

At this time, the battle there had already begun.

With no time to clear the battlefield, Shen Yan, having received orders, took the remaining seventeen people and followed a portion of the Republic Volunteer Army troops, rushing to Longyuanli without a moment's rest.

And the 337th Regiment of the 113th Division, located at Longyuanli.

Had already been intercepting the American armored forces at Longyuanli for several hours.

Two hours later.

Reality.

Great Xia Federation, Northern Region.

Songgeer Ice Field.

After the 7th Special Operations Brigade woke up from the virtual pods.

Shen Yan called the people of the Special First Battalion to the conference room to gather, along with the cadres of the Special Operations Brigade.

In the battle of Longyuanli, she and the remaining seventeen people ultimately failed to hold out until the end and were taken away by the American Freedom Federation's bombers.

However, they had also accumulated some experience.

As the personnel arrived, Shen Yan looked toward the Chief of Staff and said:

"Old Qu, have the analysis results from the photonic supercomputing cluster come out?"

"Wasn't it said before that it was an impossible mission? But this time, 67 of us made it to Samsori."

"This shows that we are capable of completing the mission."

"Setting aside the subsequent battles for a moment, just regarding the raid on Samsori, where do we differ from the Republic Volunteer Army in 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】?"

Chief of Staff Qu Guang nodded here and said:

"The supercomputer compared the real-time data of the 113th Division provided by Zhao Ming. They maintained an average heart rate above 160 for 14 hours, and even with blood oxygen saturation as low as 82%, they still maintained a forced march."

"The brainwave spectrum activity was 2.3 times ours. This means... if these data points were real people, then during this raid, they were forcibly rewriting their body's limits with their consciousness."

"We cannot achieve this level."

"Because we cannot embody the beliefs of the Republic Volunteer Army in 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】. If the background were changed to the Great Xia Federation, our soldiers' success rate would increase somewhat."

Shen Yan pondered for a moment:

"Only increase somewhat?"

"This non-combat attrition rate is too high, nearly four-fifths."

Chief of Staff Qu Guang smiled bitterly:

"No one can get fat in one bite."

"If we want to reach the standard of the Republic Volunteer Army in 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】, we still need to undergo certain training."

"I don't know what the Republic Volunteer Army in 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】 experienced to hone such a unit."

"But for the soldiers of our brigade, a forced march of this intensity is truly the first time. Previous training didn't have this intensity either,"

"so many people couldn't hold on."

"The previous calculation by the photonic supercomputing cluster was also calculated under the condition of preserving maximum combat effectiveness, so the success rate was very low."

"However, our soldiers' physical data is a bit better."

"So as long as we hone our willpower, we will naturally be able to lower the proportion of non-combat attrition."

That was indeed correct.

Compared to the Republic Volunteer Army, the soldiers of the 7th Special Operations Brigade were physically top-notch, but it was precisely because they were good that it was embarrassing they couldn't hold on.

Their bodies were fine, but their willpower was a huge step behind the others.

Shen Yan nodded and said:

"First, take all the battalions in and have them follow through it once."

"Afterward, report the list of personnel who persisted to Samsori to me. 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】 is not just the Samsori plot; there is also Longyuanli and Songgufeng afterward."

As she spoke.

Shen Yan pressed the projection on her wristwatch.

A card and an introduction appeared.

【Republic Volunteer Army 38th Army (Locked)】

【Title: Long Live Army, Peak of Light Infantry】

【Introduction: The unit's lineage began in Pingjiang in 1928; the core main force of the field army that liberated "Three Times Across the Yangtze and Four Battles at Siping"; 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】 set a world record for infantry marching history on Earth.】

【Inherited Tactics: Flanking and Infiltration + Frontal Assault (Locked)】

【Note: Randomly become an operations staff officer of the 38th Army to learn the Eastern Blitzkrieg tactics of flanking, infiltration, and frontal assault.】

【Inherited Skills: Snowfield Ambush, Night Raid, Close-Quarters Combat (Locked).】

【Note: Persist for 24 hours in the Longyuanli interception battle to unlock the 【Peak of Light Infantry】 plot and follow Republic Volunteer Army soldiers to learn skills such as snowfield ambush and night raids.】

【Key Battles: 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】, 【Songgufeng Interception Battle】】

【Note: In the Second Campaign, follow the 113th Division to complete a 72.5-kilometer snowfield forced march within 14 hours, break through enemy air blockades and terrain obstacles, seize the Samsori interception point, and hold it until the main force completes the encirclement. Surviving for over 48 hours unlocks 【Songgufeng Interception Battle】.】

【Completion Conditions: 145/145 (Raid on Samsori/Mileage) 8/48 (Hold/Hours)】

Looking at the card's introduction, everyone gasped.

After 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】 there is 【Longyuanli Interception Battle】, and after 【Longyuanli Interception Battle】 there is 【Songgufeng Interception Battle】, this...

Shen Yan scanned the crowd and said:

"For the condition of the raid on Samsori, we will first screen out those who can persist, and then form a team to complete the second condition: hold Samsori for 48 hours."

"Unlock 【Songgufeng Interception Battle】."

"Inherited tactics, inherited skills, these... let's take them one by one."

Snowfield ambush, night raids, the soldiers of the 7th Special Operations Brigade all know these skills, but they are clearly not the same as those in 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】.

Shen Yan was also very envious.

Raiding the 【White Death】 Simo Häyhä dungeon so many times had significantly improved the overall ambush and shooting level of the 7th Special Operations Brigade.

If they could learn the snowfield ambush, night raids, and so on, from the teaching of what is called the "Peak of Light Infantry" in 【Bloody Battle of Samsori】, plus hone their willpower through the raid on Samsori.

The boys under her command would probably all turn into Simo Häyhä.

That scene...
