  Thank you for everyone's support votes. These days are busy again, and after the 18th school starts, it will be better. At least one vote per day, hoping that everyone will use more votes to support me.

  General Keyser, sitting in Willie's jeep, looked at the rising smoke from the three villages and the flags of the United Nations, the United States, and Korea on the roof flagpole. Then ordered the troops to speed up their advance. Prepare for the whole division to have lunch in Sansori. At the same time, he also gave orders to the 5th Cavalry Regiment at the rear, telling them to speed up their withdrawal, break contact with the enemy in front of them, and meet with the division headquarters in Sansori.

  More than 30 tanks of the US Second Division's tank regiment accelerated towards Samri after emitting a burst of black smoke, followed by over a dozen M3 half-track armored vehicles. Machine gunner Mike Siss stood on top of the vehicle, stretching out his hands to breathe in the safe and free air, without the smell of gunpowder on the battlefield, without the cries of wounded soldiers, without blood all over the ground, and no longer seeing close comrades die one by one. The shadows that had lingered for days seemed to have vanished at once.

  "Boom! Boom!" Two tanks at the head disappeared into the ground, falling into a deep anti-tank ditch. The tankers who crawled out of the tank were cursing the treacherous North Korean guerrillas. However, a dense rumbling sound started, and a circle of round things filled the sky. The original howitzer and more than 150 temporary cannons modified with gasoline barrels threw thousands of kilograms of explosive packs into the US military convoy like rain.

  The specially-made explosive packs of the Thunder Cannon exploded one after another, and the tremendous force overturned many tanks. The explosive packs bounced several times on the ground before exploding, and nearly a thousand rusty triangular iron pieces in the explosive packs were blown into various parts of the convoy under the boost of the explosion. Tankers who had not yet entered the tank were knocked down one after another. The open-top M3 armored car was like entering a human hell.

  Xī sī's pale face was pierced all over by triangular iron pieces, and his body was also filled with them, with fresh blood gushing out from his body. The tank was blown open by the shockwave of 30-40 kilograms of explosives exploding at close range, more than half a meter away. Inside the tank, the American soldiers without helmets were either killed by their heads smashing against the tank wall, or died from bleeding from all seven orifices due to the shockwave. A small number of them were also knocked unconscious.

  In the 1960s, experiments were conducted using a Type 59 tank that was better than the M26. A 400-gram explosive charge detonated on top of the tank at close range could stun soldiers wearing tank helmets for half an hour.

  The rear part of the convoy was covered by 82, 107 and 120mm howitzers. One 120mm shell weighing up to 16 kilograms blew a car full of soldiers into pieces, scattering them everywhere, with only one burning tire rolling on the ground. The US Second Division, which had already lost nearly half of its combat troops, suffered thousands more casualties in combat units, while many logistics units that were poured into combat units, such as pontoon bridges and engineer troops, became empty shells.

  Kaiser stared blankly at the exploding smoke, scattered cars and human limbs flying into the sky. As a result, the four-kilometer-long US military convoy retreated in disorder under the cover of losing its leading tanks, with vehicles crowded together on the road. Soldiers on board were hastily ordered off their vehicles to form a defensive circle around them.

  The anti-aircraft gunner Wang Jue and the tank commander Yu Wei nervously watched as the enemy infantry approached. The machine guns on the tanks were already loaded with live ammunition, ready to fire, but the American defensive perimeter stopped just 100 meters in front of the tanks, and the Americans began digging trenches and clearing fields of fire.

  Three battalions of Gu Dabing and the second assault company of Jiang Xuefeng led soldiers to break into the US military convoy in a sea of blood and fire. The enemy's tanks had only seven intact, the others were either exploded or their turrets blown off, gun barrels bent, tracks broken, and sighting devices completely destroyed.

  Thinly armored vehicles were blown to pieces, even the master craftsmen in the factory couldn't recognize these twisted wreckage as their own creations. Soldiers from the assault company climbed into the tanks, either removing the enemy's corpses, driving them away, or collecting the tank's cannon shells and machine gun bullets. Then a bundle of explosives was thrown inside, "Boom!" The interior was completely destroyed, even the hatch cover was blown open, spewing out thick smoke.

  The US military who fell into the anti-tank ditch and fainted were pulled out, the tank was looted like a robbery, everything that could be taken away was taken away, leaving only an empty shell of the tank for next time. Gu Dabing was extremely distressed, after the remaining dozens of US soldiers who were bombed were eliminated, it was found that the enemy's intact guns and ammunition were nowhere to be found. Following the principle that even a small piece of meat is still meat, more than 200 collected guns and some small cannons, as well as ammunition, were taken away by two trucks. The US military who came to inspect were given a good lesson by Gu Dabing.

  He was overjoyed and forgot everything, and the arrival of more than 2000 shells and a large batch of tanks made him even more ecstatic. Excitedly running around everywhere, he would hug anyone he met and say "we have seven heavy tanks again", before being kicked to the ground by Gaoquan. Under the artillery support of the grenade battalion, the second company of heavy tanks led by Liu Lei was also established.

  In less than two hours, the US military's 155 and 105 howitzers bombarded Zhao Zilong's position, causing smoke to rise everywhere. The 105 howitzer could only blast out a crater more than one meter wide in the frozen soil. The 155 howitzer barely blasted out a crater more than three meters wide. Only the second battalion of the first regiment's position, which was guarded by more than one squad, suffered almost no damage. However, soon US B-26 and P-51 planes arrived. Incendiary bombs burned up the wooden supports for the trenches, while 1000-pound and 500-pound bombs blew the trenches into segments, flattening them. Even bunkers that could not be moved by artillery fire collapsed instantly when hit at close range, burying many soldiers inside or killing them outright.

  The only hundred or so houses in Sansori were all bombed and burned to the ground, leaving only the pillars on the broken walls still smoking. The enemy's US 2nd Division, 9th Regiment, which had suffered relatively minor losses, launched an attack under the cover of air bombing and dense artillery fire. Suddenly, a series of massive explosions hit the advancing American troops, causing over 300 casualties. However, there was no ear-piercing whine of shells in the sky. The Americans on the ground looked up in confusion, only to be met with another intense explosion that not only disabled several tanks in the middle but also killed many more American soldiers who were still lying on the ground.

  Three companies of the first battalion's commander, Zhong Wuying, was secretly laughing while holding a detonator. Then, an unexplained explosion caused the US military to retreat again with over 500 casualties. To secure their withdrawal route, the US military even called in dozens of B-29s for carpet bombing. The positions on both sides of the road of the second battalion were turned into a sea of flames, and several hundred meters away, the headquarters of the second battalion could also feel the heat, leaving Zhao Zilong's forehead covered in cold sweat.

  The remaining electric sparks under Zhong Wuying were detonated by the sensitive yellow acidic explosive. Kaiser, who was observing through a telescope, said to those around him, "This time the air force did a good job, I didn't expect the enemy to have buried explosives underground." Looking at the sea of fire on both sides of the mountain road, he muttered to himself, "This time the enemy should all be dead!"

  The inspired US military began the "Victory March" again. However, various mortars and special howitzers that had been moved into caves were brought out again. The shells tore through the air and pierced the advancing US troops, blowing them to pieces. The P-51 Mustangs, which had been circling for a long time, finally discovered our artillery positions on the mountain slope (the reverse slope position, which refers to the artillery position on the side of the mountain, generally requires a steep mountain, and usually only mortars can be placed, this position is difficult to attack, flat-shooting cannons, howitzers almost can't hit, mortars are hard to hit accurately, and planes are not easy to attack either, it wasn't until the development of laser-guided mortar shells and precision ammunition that it became a bit easier). The enemy planes dived down, flying in from the valley, trying to use rockets and heavy machine guns to attack or harass, but 12 high-altitude anti-aircraft guns shot out tongues of flame after the trees were pulled away, four US planes were either blown up or damaged and crashed into the mountain wall. A huge fireball appeared in the valley, with aluminum parts scattered all over the ground.

  Keizer, who was marveling at the tenacity of Chinese lives, received orders from MacArthur and Walker to quickly capture Samsoo-ri. The 5th Cavalry Regiment had moved south to coordinate, and the main force of the 1st Cavalry Division also moved north to support, and was ordered that if they couldn't take it down, they would go to attack Yongwon-ri
