The reaction of the United States side also surprised many people. It was initially expected that they would continue the fight relying on strong firepower, but they were instead t with orders for a full retreat.
The strong chanized forces and firepower did not have the corresponding will to fight.
Of course.
This might also be related to the fact that the 31st Regint of the United States was wiped out wholesale.
Such a chanized reinforced regint, capable of sweeping 90% of the sa rank forces worldwide, was annihilated wholesale in five days.
The shock and inexplicable fear this incident brought to the United States high command are unimaginable.
Especially since on the first day, the command level of the 31st Regint was completely wiped out, with the regintal commander dying mysteriously, and Lieutenant Colonel Faiss, who took over command, also lost contact during the retreat.
No contact could be made regardless of the efforts.
By the ti they received next information.
The 31st Regint had already been annihilated by the Volunteer Army, without even grasping the most basic information about the enemy in such circumstances.
How could such situations not lead to suspicion and fear?
Moreover, after the United States forces in Xinxing Village were wiped out, the United States troops in Riutang Village and the drop-off point faced a certain situation.
If the Volunteer Army soldiers at Xinxing Village were to reinforce Riutang Village or the drop-off point.
Then the United States forces in Riutang Village and at the drop-off point would be besieged on three sides, with pressure abruptly intensifying.
They dared not gamble that Riutang Village or the drop-off point would not be wiped out.
In Li Ran’s live streaming room.
From the perspective here at Riutang Village, they were repeating the operations seen in Xinxing Village, destroying all the heavy equipnt that couldn’t be taken away.
A few soldiers of the United States were stuffing explosives into the barrel of a tank, trying to destroy it.
Not far away.
More soldiers were pouring gasoline into the barrels of howitzers that couldn’t be carried away, and then the remaining gasoline was splashed across the entire camp.
With everyone evacuated, a grenade was thrown over.
Boom boom boom boom—
The continuous explosions churned up in the camp, with thick black smoke rising straight into the sky.
At that mont.
A sharp sound suddenly ca from the sky, rapidly descending as the sound followed.
Boom!
A mortar shell fell beside the camp, and the Volunteer Army launched an attack. All except the rear-guard United States soldiers in Riutang Village prepared to withdraw.
Li Ran was running behind a truck, turning to look back.
The rear-guard troops had already started exchanging fire with the Volunteer Army.
From this perspective, the entire Riutang Village had turned into a burning inferno, like hell itself.
However.
This was just the beginning....
The real hellish march was yet to co.
The straight-line distance from Riutang Village to the drop-off point was only 21 kiloters, but along the entire road, almost every vantage point had a Volunteer Army ambush.
The unit had been moving for half a day.
Already left the periters of Riutang Village.
Li Ran closely watched the ’real-ti map’, effortlessly observing the ridges on both sides, knowing from the ’real-ti map’ that many Volunteer Army soldiers were already lying in ambush on both sides.
But the United States soldiers hadn’t discovered them yet.
Li Ran quietly slowed his pace, subtly moving from the outer dispersive formation to the inner side, close to the truck here.
Ensuring that once the fight began, he could dive under the truck imdiately.
Suddenly!
A sharp whistle echoed from the mountain.
It was the signal to attack.
In the next second.
Bang bang bang bang!
Dense bullets sprayed from both sides of the ridge, raining down like drops of rain.
"Enemy attack! Take cover!"
"Cover!!!"
Li Ran imdiately dropped down, diving under the truck.
Thud!
A United States soldier took a bullet through the head, collapsed to the ground, and with wide eyes t Li Ran, staring from under the truck, startling both Li Ran and the Blue Star viewers in the streaming room.
Boom!
A hand grenade fell, exploding by the truck.
Two soldiers were instantly killed by the grenade’s impact, bodies slamd against the truck, then onto the ground, revealing half-bloody faces.
Li Ran couldn’t help but grimace.
Here by the truck didn’t seem too safe either, but there were no other options.
Out in the open, they were just sitting ducks.
Li Ran lay under the truck and watched the battlefield situation unfold.
The United States soldiers rapidly organized their counterattack, hauling out a few howitzers they had left, beginning to bombard both ridge sides fiercely.
So United States soldiers had already ford a suicide squad, charging towards the ridges.
The fierce battle lasted half a day.
When the gunfire finally stopped, the snow on the ground had been stained red with blood.
Both sides of the ridges had Volunteer Army forces disappeared without a trace, the massive sacrifice for organized counterattack amounted to nothing as the Volunteer Army had already retreated.
The blow to the United States soldiers was significant.
More so, it was a ntal tornt.
The unit briefly regrouped and continued moving forward, although already two hours had been delayed here.
The re 21 kiloters distance.
Progressing at a rate of just 500 ters per hour.
Further ahead, it was unclear how many ambushes awaited.
Li Ran stayed within the unit, trying to be as inconspicuous as possible, using the ’real-ti map’ to quickly hide and broadcast the warfare situation.
Until dusk approached.
Li Ran finally let out a sigh of relief, as the ’real-ti map’ showed no ambush nearby.
Yet, the United States soldiers in the unit dared not relax.
Having been ambushed the whole day, the entire unit was in a state of utter vigilance.
In the streaming room.
So Blue Star netizens noticed sothing was wrong:
