Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 10: Separate from the main force!

After cursing for a while, the man slumped down on the ground, still greeting the ancestors of the American soldiers with great interest.

This person was none other than Captain Yang of the artillery battalion.

After Li Guotao recognized this man, he naturally understood why he was so angry.

The Ninth Corps is an ace unit and is well-equipped.

This artillery battalion is directly under the division and has more than a dozen heavy artillery pieces, all of which are American howitzers.

We have to thank Captain Jiang for this, otherwise a divisional artillery battalion would not be able to get such good equipment.

Unfortunately, these dozen heavy artillery pieces were too heavy and it was impossible to unload them from the train just now. Now they have all been blown up. How could Captain Yang not be angry?

Wu Qianli walked up to Captain Yang, handed him a cigarette, and said, "That's enough, scolding is useless."

Captain Yang was not polite either. He took the cigarette and said angrily, "I'm an artilleryman. I just entered North Korea and my artillery is gone! What can I do?"

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of if the cannon is gone? Aren't the people still here? We can just get them back."

"I heard that these American soldiers are very wealthy and have many more heavy artillery than Chiang Kai-shek's army. When they get to the battlefield, will they still worry about not having artillery?"

"Don't worry, our Seventh Company will take care of this matter. We will go and grab the artillery for you."

"After all, your artillery battalion is supported by our Seventh Company!"

“Get out…get out~!”

Captain Yang pushed Wu Qianli to the ground in a rage, and said indignantly: "I don't need you to support me. I have a gun in my hand, so I can rob it myself!"

"I finally figured it out. You're here just to laugh at me. Get as far away from me as possible."

"Your kindness is taken for granted!" Wu Qianli smiled and turned away.

The two are old comrades-in-arms. They have a good relationship and it is common for them to play around and joke around.

At this time, an order came from the division headquarters, and the troops crossed the Wolf Forest Mountains on foot and rushed to the Changjin Lake area to assemble and stand by.

The Seventh Company also had a mission, which was to escort the radio station and the telegraph operators to the headquarters, so it had to be separated from the main force temporarily.

Mei Sheng walked up to Wu Qianli and said, "The division commander ordered us to rush to the headquarters immediately and return to the Changjin Lake area after completing the mission."

Wu Qianli nodded and shouted, "Seventh Company! Check the supplies and equipment, and get ready to go."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded loudly.

Looking at the mountains in the distance, many of which were covered in snow, Mei Sheng sighed, "The road ahead is not easy!"

Wu Qianli took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile, "I've heard from veterans before how dangerous and difficult it was for the troops to cross the snow-capped mountains during the Long March. This can't be harder than the Long March back then, right?"

Mei Sheng shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that serious."

Neither of them had participated in the Long March, so naturally they had no idea how difficult it was to cross the snow-capped mountains.

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "Then let's not get married. Those seniors have walked 25,000 miles. Are we afraid of just a few hundred miles?"

"Of course I'm not afraid!"

As Mei Sheng was talking, he happened to see Li Guotao not far away and said, "Do you feel that Li Guotao is a little different?"

Wu Qianli nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, I have grown a lot, which is a good thing."

In the past, Li Guotao was basically a nobody in the Seventh Company. However, his performance in the past two days made Wu Qianli, Meisheng and others take notice of him.

Mei Sheng said: "I think this guy is a talent, but unfortunately his skills are too poor."

Wu Qianli patted Mei Sheng on the shoulder and said, "Take care of him. Don't let him die on the battlefield."

Meisheng walked up to Li Guotao and said, "Li Guotao, the commander just said that you will be credited with a merit."

Li Guotao smiled awkwardly and said, "Well... I really don't deserve it!" This achievement was too easy, and Li Guotao really felt unworthy of it.

Meisheng smiled and said, "Okay, this is what you deserve."

"Don't show off on the battlefield, protect yourself."

"Yes!"

Li Guotao responded quickly.

However, Li Guotao was full of confidence, because his current marksmanship was far superior to that of ordinary sharpshooters, and he would surely shine on the battlefield.

And most importantly, with the system, Li Guotao’s strength will grow rapidly.

Therefore, Li Guotao had no worries at all about possible battles in the future. Instead, he was vaguely looking forward to it.

However, thinking of the tasks issued by the system, Li Guotao did not dare to be careless. After all, it was not easy to complete these tasks.

The soldiers of the Seventh Company quickly made their preparations. Wu Qianli waved his hand and said loudly, "Let's go."

The 157 soldiers of the Seventh Infiltration Company lined up and walked into the mountains.

At this time, Captain Yang suddenly stood up and shouted: "Let's go!"

Wu Qianli waved his hand and shouted, "See you at Changjin Lake!"

Captain Yang warned: "Be careful!"

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will grab artillery for you when we get to Changjin Lake! I will grab as many as you want."

Captain Yang said angrily: "Virtue! Get out of here!"

In the procession, Wu Wanli suddenly ran up to Lei Gong with a gun on his back, stretched out his hand, and said, "Give it to me!"

"what?"

Lei Gong was confused by this kid.

Wu Wanli said with some dissatisfaction: "Boss! Hasn't he entered the court? Hurry and give it to me."

It turned out that although Wu Wanli was given a rifle that day, he was not given any bullets.

This kid kept pestering Lei Gong for bullets. Lei Gong got annoyed and took out a handful of bullet shells and handed them to him.

But this guy is not so easy to fool. He asked why there is no bullet?

Lei Gong made up something nonsense and said that he would give him the bullet after he entered the court.

This silly boy really believed it.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered it and came to Lei Gong impatiently to ask for the warhead.

Lei Gong said casually: "That! I'll give it to you when we get to the battlefield."

After saying this, he quickened his pace and walked forward, obviously feeling a little guilty.

Wu Wanli looked at Lei Gong's back and made a face. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he didn't dare to say anything more. He continued to walk forward with the team in a depressed mood.

Li Guotao checked the task panel and found that the second task was to escort the radio station to the headquarters.

This mission is the easiest one among the remaining nine tasks, but it is still some distance away from the headquarters. Li Guotao initially estimated that it would take about a few days to reach the headquarters and complete this mission.

I just don’t know what reward I will get this time!
According to the system's explanation, the rewards for each task are different, which means that the reward for completing the task this time will definitely be more generous.

Thinking of this, Li Guotao was also full of expectations.

The team marched for about an hour, and Wu Qianli raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

A scout ran back quickly and said breathlessly: "There is something going on ahead. We may have encountered the enemy."
