In fact, Chen Li and Dai Hongliang were quite clear about what was going on.
The reinforcements mentioned by Base 1 were just a stealth team of about 500 people.
The Dragon Gang doesn't have a large force in Alaska at all.
On the 1.72 million square kilometers of land, the only force that could truly be called a "large force" on the Dragon Gang's side was the 62nd Armored Division sent by the Northern Bear Kingdom.
However, the 62nd Armored Division could not possibly come to relieve the siege of these two Dragon Gang teams.
The 62nd Division's main enemies were the 12th Armored Combined Brigade in the south, as well as other American troops that were constantly being reinforced.
The second stealth team, originally scheduled to reinforce the canyon, was probably temporarily reassigned to the main southern battlefield...
"Old Dai, what do you think about this?"
Chen Li sat in the trench bunker, talking to Dai Hongliang while taking deep drags on his cigarette.
"At this point, what other options do we have? We are now an isolated force trapped in a deadly situation!"
Just now, Dai Hongliang also received a telegram from the base and understood the current situation of their two companies:
"Those foreign devils think too highly of us brothers. Two Marine brigades? Heh..."
Chen Li immediately got angry: "We're in a real crisis, and you're still laughing?"
"What? Are you going to cry instead of laugh?"
"Think of a solution quickly."
"What can I do in this situation? Just hold on."
"Hold on to the death? You make it sound so easy, Dai Hongliang. With 200 pairs of people, who dares to say they can hold out for 3 hours? Even a god couldn't do anything about it!"
"A deity? No need for that. I think... it's enough for Boss Lin to come alone."
Dai Hongliang's words brought a glimmer of hope to the utterly dejected Company Commander Chen:
"Hey, Lao Dai, you're right. You know what, if the boss comes, he can just drop a nuclear bomb and that's it!"
"Nuclear bombs? Do you think nuclear bombs are like cabbages, something you can just throw away whenever you want?" Dai Hongliang said dismissively.
"Otherwise what? Keep it for the New Year?!" Chen Li retorted.
Even in dire straits, the two brothers still couldn't resist bickering with each other.
After all, the two men who had crawled out of piles of corpses in the war always had a calm acceptance of death.
"Hey Lao Chen, let's stop joking around and get some more bunkers dug. When the shells come, let's see where you'll hide."
"You don't need to tell me that, I've already made the arrangements."
......
....................................
Half an hour later.
Two large Marine Corps units finally came into view of the Dragon Gang's garrison.
Now, the 9th and 11th Brigades, which have an absolute numerical advantage, are no longer pretending and are clearly determined to encircle the two mountain peaks in the canyon like an iron barrel.
The morale of the two defending companies could be crushed by a few rounds of artillery fire.
......
Three kilometers away from the canyon, behind a grove of trees, dozens of 152mm howitzers unveiled their dark green camouflage.
One by one, the cannon barrels were quietly adjusted to the firing angle, waiting for the final confirmation of the coordinates of the two target positions.
"Report, coordinates confirmed, launch is complete!"
"good!"
"152mm howitzers, two rounds of initial fire!!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
The thunderous bombardment echoed throughout the entire canyon.
The men from the 35th and 38th companies had already taken cover in bunkers that had been deepened by several meters.
The shells fell.
"Boom! Boom..."
The ground shook violently, and even the thickest bunkers were now being shaken to the point of crumbling and falling soil.
It felt as if, in the next second, everyone would be buried underground by the constantly collapsing soil...
The intense bombardment lasted for almost half an hour before it ended.
The Dragon Gang warriors hiding in the bunker were all covered in dust and dirt.
My ears were ringing, and I could barely hear anything outside.
"Pooh!"
Chen Li spat out a mouthful of mud and sand, and loudly commanded:
"Don't rush out, everyone! Watch out for a second enemy bombardment!"
"First squad, you go out and observe first. If you spot any enemy activity, immediately notify the machine gun team!"
"Roger that! Class One, follow me!!"
......
Two minutes later.
The class monitor rushed in:
"Company commander, something's wrong! The enemy is coming up!"
"What? So fast?"
Chen Li was startled and immediately picked up the MSG90 military sniper rifle from the ground.
He bent over and darted out in a few quick steps:
"These sons of bitches, aren't they going to bombard us a few more times?"
The small, thin Li, who had been following behind the company commander, couldn't help but mutter under his breath, "My god, the mountain has already been blasted flat by several feet, and they're still bombing it?"
Chen Li was anxious and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
When they reached the ravaged trenches, through the smoke, they could see the remnants of the 41st Battalion stealthily climbing up the hillside beside the road.
"Damn it, trying to ambush me? No way!"
Chen Li roared:
"Where's the machine gun team? Have they taken up position yet?"
Half a minute later, Xiao Li, who was in charge of collecting battlefield intelligence, came running back:
"The machine gun team has moved into the firing position, Company Commander, there's a situation behind the hill!"
Chen Lixin's heart sank: "What's going on behind the mountain?"
"There are even more enemies behind the mountain, at least... a whole regiment!"
"A regiment?"
"Yes!"
Chen Li felt a chill run down his spine; a Marine Corps regiment must have more than 3,000 men.
