A US reconnaissance platoon occupied a small hill called Suoyaoling.

Qiao Youzhi's large force was twenty kilometers behind Suoyaoling.

Suoyaoling is a commanding height with an important geographical location. Lieutenant Lewis Sendbus went to scout and found that there was no one on Suoyaoling.

The area was supposed to be occupied by the Northern Army's Jincheng Town troops, but the military adviser said that it was unnecessary and gave two reasons. First, the US military would only retreat and would not return north; second, they would soon go south in pursuit.

Jincheng Town hid comfortably in the rear for several days, but later felt that something was wrong and wanted to send troops up, but the American army had already taken the lead.

If the US military controls Suoyaoling, it can block the Northern Army's way to the south.

If you don't take the Suoyaoling Ridge, you'll have to take a detour of more than a hundred kilometers.

Whoever occupies this place can attack or defend. Jin Chengzhen reported to his superiors and received a reply, retaking Suoyaoling and driving out the Americans.

Kim Sung-jin discusses battle plans with military advisers.

The two men had little confidence, and after making a plan, they wanted to ask Captain Zhang of the Chinese Army stationed nearby for advice.

In the end, for some unknown reason, I gave up this idea and decided to rely entirely on my own strength to show them how to fight.

A company of Northern Army soldiers divided into three groups and surrounded Suoyaoling.

Two infantry guns and five mortars provided artillery support.

The American troops at Suoyaoling are the heads that Qiao Youzhi gave to our grandfathers.

According to Qiao Youzhi, let alone a platoon of American troops, even a battalion could be knocked out by his grandfathers in one night.

During the day, I walked up Suoyao Ridge with Lewis and observed the opposite side. I have to say that the Northern Army was hiding very well. Neither Lewis nor Qiao Youzhi found any signs.

Qiao Youzhi was still wondering, could it be that the grandfathers had withdrawn? But then he thought again, it was impossible, absolutely impossible.

Lewis asked: "George, do you think the Huaxia Army might be near us?"

Qiao Youzhi replied: "I can't answer this question. I can only get the answer after reconnaissance."

It was already afternoon, and Lewis didn't want to send out a reconnaissance team, so he planned to send it out tomorrow, and then head back with Qiao Youzhi before it got dark.

As soon as we reached the foot of the mountain, the Northern Army opened fire.

Lewis listened for a while, watching the shells falling one after another. He ordered five American soldiers to send Qiao Youzhi to the rear first, and then he turned around and rushed to the Suoyaoling position.

Qiao Youzhi ran away with his head covered, saying that Lewis was a fool but at the same time he respected him as a man. If you dare to kill me, fine, I will go back and wait to attend your memorial service.

He also didn't expect that Lewis was facing the Northern Army.

After the artillery attack, without any cover, the Union Army charged.

The Northern Army soldiers were filled with national hatred and family resentment towards the American Army. Their country was shattered and their homes were bombed into rubble. They rushed out of the bunkers with deep hatred in their hearts.

Lewis was stunned by what he saw through the telescope. It turned out that they were hiding there, almost blending in with the snow. If they hadn't taken the initiative to attack, he wouldn't have been able to find them even if he got close to them.

The Northern Army's artillery fire slowly moved forward. The American army had only two platoons, but they had two heavy machine guns and three mortars, and were ready for combat.

As soon as the Northern Army's artillery fire stopped, the US Army's heavy machine guns and mortars were also moved out of the bunkers.

The Northern Army rushed forward, and their shouts shook the mountains and rivers.

Lewis was holding a telescope when he was hit by shrapnel on his shoulder. He had no time to bandage the wound. It was his first time fighting against the Northern Army. He was nervous and excited. When the Northern Army entered the attack range, he gave the order to open fire with a trembling voice.

The firepower of the US army is beyond doubt. Two heavy machine guns and several light machine guns formed a firepower network that easily blocked the Northern Army's charge.

Three mortars fired continuously.

Exploded in the middle of the Northern Army's charge.

Only a small number of the Northern Army were veterans with combat experience. When they heard the sharp sound of the artillery shells, they would quickly lie down and roll over.

When most of the recruits heard this sound, they looked up at the sky in a daze. Those who reacted quickly lay down and held their heads without moving. The US mortars caused serious casualties to them, and more than half of them were killed or wounded before they rushed down the mountain.

Jin Chengzhen held up the telescope, slammed his fist on the table in pain, and ordered the soldiers to retreat.

The military adviser disagreed and roared at the command post: "If you can't break through, retreat. Don't even think about taking the position, let alone recovering the country. Organize a supervision team. Anyone who dares to retreat will be shot on the spot."

Jin Chengzhen watched the supervision team rushing out of the bunker with PPSh-27 rifles and closed his eyes in pain. There was no way that a company that had gone out to attack could come back.

At dusk, the sound of gunfire was no longer heard.

Jincheng Town sat in the command post, trembling all over, regretting that he should not have listened to the military adviser completely. He was just an adviser and he was the commander. However, it was too late to regret now. The most important thing was that he regretted that he could not save his soldiers.

Instead, the military adviser continued to roar, saying that the Northern Army was timid and attacked slowly, which gave the US Army time to counterattack. In short, all these failures had nothing to do with him, and he also asked Jin Chengzhen to continue organizing troops and continue the attack with one go.

Jin Chengzhen refused to listen and could not send the last soldier away.

Seeing that the military advisor was not giving in, Jincheng Town said, "I have seen the Chinese army fight, and they don't fight like this."

When the military adviser heard about the Chinese army, he stormed out in anger.

Jin Chengzhen felt relieved instead. It would be better if this plague god left and never came back.

Suddenly, there was a roar of an airplane in the air.

After Lewis determined the position of the Northern Army, he passed the coordinates to the Air Force Command. U.S. bombers came one after another, flying dozens of times in a row, and completely blew up the Northern Army's carefully designed camouflage.

The artillery fire melted the snow for several kilometers around, forming streams of water that flowed into the trenches. The holes where the soldiers hid soon froze into ice, and many Northern Army soldiers had to dig new holes to hide in.

Lewis was the happiest one, as he won a great victory in his first attempt. Among his thirty or so subordinates, only a few were slightly injured.

When the battle was about to end, Qiao Youzhi, who was in the rear, sent a telegram to ask if support was needed.

Qiao Youzhi organized a battalion-level combat team. Based on his understanding of the grandfathers' combat capabilities, it was impossible for him to receive a reply if he sent a telegram to Lewis at this time. How could a dead person or a prisoner call back?

The result shocked him. Not only did Lewis call back, he also refused support. Lewis proudly told Qiao Youzhi that they had won a great victory and wiped out the enemy.

Qiao Youzhi was a little disappointed. How could he win a great victory? He disbanded the troops with a heavy heart and told the soldiers that Commander Lewis had won the battle. They should have a good sleep tonight and have an extra meal tomorrow.

The American soldiers, who had been nervous for a while, suddenly relaxed and returned to their tents happily.

Qiao Youzhi couldn't sleep, it was not right that he could defeat the grandfathers.

The moon rose to the middle of the sky. Qiao Youzhi thought that it might be a test and the real attack would take place in the middle of the night.

Logically speaking, the later it got at night, the more Qiao Youzhi should have reminded Lewis to be on guard.

If Qiao Youzhi really did that, he would no longer be the grandson of the Huaxia Army.
