Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 1: Crossing the Changjin Lake, the game starts with hellish difficulty!

"Woooo..."

A long whistle sounded, and white smoke mixed with sparks rolled out of the chimney.

“Crack! Crack!”

The train, like a steel behemoth, speeds past on the rails, making a very rhythmic sound that makes it difficult for people to fall asleep.

Li Guotao slowly sat up from the simple wooden bed, his head feeling dizzy.

It was pitch black all around, and the smell of smelly feet mixed with that of cheap tobacco made one feel suffocated.

Where is this?

Li Guotao looked confused.

Hearing the familiar 'click' sound outside, Li Guotao seemed to realize that he was in a stuffy carriage of a train!
What era is this? Are there still trains like this?

When he looked down, he saw that he was wearing a khaki military uniform.

This is……

Type 50 military uniform!
In the early days of the country?

Did I travel through time?
"Okay~!"

There was a burst of booing sounds coming from all around.

Li Guotao gradually adapted and the scene in front of him began to become clear.

In the narrow carriage, some simple wooden beds were neatly built, with a space in the middle only wide enough for one person to pass through.

A group of soldiers, also wearing khaki uniforms, were gathered together, laughing continuously, as if they were watching a monkey show.

"This kid is quite flexible!"

"Platoon leader, can you do it? Don't let a rookie knock you down."

"Bullshit! I can knock down ten of them by myself."

The platoon leader, wearing only a white shirt, looked very proud.

Opposite him stood a young soldier in a brand new military uniform. Although he was thin, he had a stubborn and unyielding look on his face.

The new recruit suddenly pounced on the platoon leader, but the platoon leader was also very agile and dodged quickly, jumping over one bed and sitting down on the bed on the second bunk.

The platoon leader looked at the recruits with a smile.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yu Congrong, and I'm the platoon leader of the 7th Interspersed Company."

"When others charge, there are enemies in front of them. When I charge, there are enemies in front of me, behind me, to my left, and to my right."

The platoon leader's tone was tinged with pride.

The seventh interspersed company?
Yu joined the army?
Looking at this familiar scene, Li Guotao couldn't help but be stunned.

Look at the new recruit who is chasing Yu Congrong, isn’t he Wu Wanli?

I will join the army!
Wu Wanli!
The old soldier watching the fun next to him is Lei Gong!
Changjin Lake!
These three words automatically appeared in Li Guotao's mind.

Really crossed!
Is this the Changjin Lake World?
Li Guotao was extremely shocked. Most of the soldiers in the carriage were busy watching the excitement and no one paid any attention to Li Guotao.

Li Guotao's head seemed to hurt even more. He held his head with both hands and rubbed his temples gently.

Isn't this a dream?

[Ding Dong~! Welcome the host to the Changjin Lake (Watergate Bridge) world. 】

【System activation successful! 】

The system prompt sound that suddenly rang in his mind scared Li Guotao.

Really crossed!
Is there any system?

This is too fantasy!
It must be a dream!
Li Guotao comforted himself and shook his head vigorously, trying to wake up from his sleep.

[Now issuing system tasks. You can leave the current world after completing the system tasks. ]

【Task 1: Cross the Yalu River with great vigor and confidence.】

[Task 2: Complete the mission of escorting the radio station.]

[Mission 300: Kill enemies.]

[Mission 20: Destroy enemy tanks.]

[Task 3: Kill enemy officers above the regimental level. (Including regimental level)]

[Mission 6: Shoot down two enemy planes! (Including helicopters.)] [Mission 7: Seize the Polar Bear Group Flag!]

[Mission 8: Complete the mission of blowing up the Watergate Bridge.]

[Mission 9: Become the captain of the 7th Interspersed Company.]

[Task 10: Ensure that Wu Qianli, Wu Wanli, Meisheng, Lei Gong, and Yu return home alive after serving in the army.]

[Note: The ten tasks are in no particular order, and you can leave this world only after completing all of them. Once a task is declared failed, the system will re-issue a new task, but the newly-issued task will be more difficult.]

Li Guotao was speechless!
Is this fucking trick to kill me?

Except for the first two tasks which are relatively simple, the following tasks are more difficult than the last.

And the last mission is not only to ensure the safety of these five people, but also to ensure their safe return home.

In other words, even if the Watergate Bridge mission was completed, it would not be considered a completed mission.

That is to say, after the Battle of Watergate Bridge, the plot will continue to develop until they can return home safely.

However, it is not impossible to complete this mission ahead of schedule. If these five people are injured and return home to recuperate, it should be considered that the mission is completed.

[Warm reminder: Once the host dies, he will die completely. Please cherish your life and work hard to complete the task. ]

So warm!

Li Guotao resisted the urge to curse. With his current strength, even if he could survive on the battlefield, let alone complete these tasks, it would be a great honor for his ancestors.

At this time, Li Guotao also integrated some memories of his previous life. He is now an ordinary soldier of the Seventh Infiltration Company, and his strength is at the bottom. He is basically at the bottom in all assessments.

As a time traveler, he was well aware of the cruelty of the war he was about to face.

With his current strength, he would most likely become cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Li Guotao estimated that if he was injured on the battlefield and luckily survived, returned to China to recuperate, retired, and then lived his life in peace, that would be the happiest ending.

At this time, the system prompt sounded again.

[Due to the difficulty of the task, in order to help the host complete the task as quickly as possible, the system will regularly reward the host with 100 points and 1 skill point every day. 】

[The host can also obtain points and skill points as rewards by completing tasks. ]

[The host can get points reward by killing enemies. 】

[Points can be used to purchase items in the system mall. ]

I guess you still have some conscience!
But it seems not much.

System mall?

A shopping mall interface instantly appeared in Li Guotao’s mind, a page similar to an online shopping APP in later generations.

The merchandise inside is dazzling and all-encompassing. Basically, everything that exists in this world can be bought in this system mall.

Moreover, the purchasing power of these so-called points is quite strong. Basically, one point can be used to purchase an ordinary rifle.

Even rifles like the AK47, which are considered quite powerful in the current era, are for sale, but the price is much higher, requiring 10 points.

From this perspective, one hundred points a day is not a small amount.

But even with these bonus points, there is no guarantee that Li Guotao, a weakling in combat, can survive in such a brutal war.

Are there any mushroom bombs?

Li Guotao suddenly had a bold idea and tried to search in the system mall.

I actually found it.

And the equivalent ranges from 10,000 tons to hundreds of thousands of tons.

However, even the smallest equivalent of 10,000 tons requires 100 billion points!

Looking at the long string of zeros after 1, Li Guotao gave up decisively.

There are so many of them. It will take me many lifetimes to save enough.

A great plan to help the motherland stir-fry mushrooms in advance was aborted.

[Ding Dong~! Today's rewards have been distributed. ]

Right!

What about skill points?
where is it?
