Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 102: Sniper kills the enemy commander!
Li Guotao led the soldiers to a fork in the road, and suddenly said, "You go back first!"

Gu Cangzhou frowned and asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Guotao casually said, "I'll go to the Watergate Bridge to take a look."

Gu Cangzhou reminded: "Squad leader, don't do anything without orders."

Li Guotao said, "I heard that the enemy was repairing a bridge. I was worried and went to take a look."

Gu Cangzhou said: "I will go with you."

Li Guotao shook his head and said, "No need. If there are too many people, it will be easier to be exposed. It will be more convenient for me to act alone."

Gu Cangzhou reminded: "Then you better be careful."

Li Guotao said: "I am just observing the terrain from a distance. I won't do anything rash."

After Li Guotao finished speaking, he turned and left, quietly approaching the Watergate Bridge along a small path.

Li Guotao was wearing a white cloak. In the snowy Changjin Lake area, where everything was white, this thing could provide the best cover.

Li Guotao hid on the top of a mountain and observed for a while, and indeed found that the enemy was working hard to repair the Watergate Bridge.

The main purpose of Li Guotao's visit this time was to observe the terrain near the Watergate Bridge in order to perfect his plan.

After carefully observing the surrounding terrain and seeing so many enemies on the Watergate Bridge, Li Guotao felt a little itchy for a moment.

Thinking that there was nothing to do now, Li Guotao plucked up his courage and carefully slid down the hillside.

At this moment, the north wind was howling, and the snow on the mountains was blown into the valley. The whole valley was white, as if it had snowed.

This provided a good cover for Li Guotao. He carefully hid under the water pipe under the Watergate Bridge, and used the thick water pipe as cover to quietly approach the Watergate Bridge.

At an enemy position next to the Watergate Bridge, Lieutenant Colonel Stephen held up a telescope and observed the situation in the distance.

“very good!”

"But we have to continue to increase the intensity of the bombing and turn this entire mountain area into a scorched earth."

"Even if we fail to kill the enemies, they will have nowhere to hide."

An officer nearby said, "Sir, we have notified the air force and asked them to continue the bombing."

"It's just that... according to the weather department, it may snow in the next two days. Once it snows, everything will return to normal, with white everywhere."

Lieutenant Colonel Stephen said: "Then continue bombing. At this point, should we be stingy with bombs?"

"What you say, sir, makes sense."

Stephen glanced at the Watergate Bridge and asked, "When will the bridge be repaired?"

"It will be repaired by the afternoon at the latest," replied an enemy officer.

Lieutenant Colonel Stephen said: "There's no need to rush. Just fix it before dark."

"I can conclude that they will definitely come again after dark."

An enemy officer said: "We have strengthened our vigilance, and after repeated bombings, even if they are not killed, I am afraid they will not have the courage to come again!"

Lieutenant Colonel Stephen sneered and said, "These guys are so bold, they will definitely come! I am absolutely sure of this."

"The enemies we are facing are just a bunch of lunatics. They are capable of doing the craziest things."

"If the Watergate Bridge is blown up again, I think General Smith will definitely skin me alive."

"But before that, I will definitely skin you alive."

The enemy officers present were all silent and looked at Lieutenant Colonel Stephen cautiously.

Lieutenant Colonel Stephen said: "Don't look at me with such pitiful eyes. What you should think about now is how to strengthen our defense line, defend the Watergate Bridge, and prevent the enemy from approaching the bridge again and blowing up the bridge."

"Understand?"

An enemy captain replied: "We are already doing our best to repair the fortifications, and we have increased our manpower and firepower. I think we can definitely hold the Watergate Bridge this time." Lieutenant Colonel Stephen smiled and said, "That would be the best!"

As he spoke, the old man lit a cigar and took a deep puff.

An enemy lieutenant warned: "Sir, it is dangerous for us to stand here for a long time."

Lieutenant Colonel Stephen sneered and said, "Do you think those damned fellows dare to come out during the day?"

"Besides, they are not made of iron. They must be hiding in some dark place and sleeping now!"

"They will come out at night and continue to attack our Watergate Bridge."

"Yes! That's right! They are nocturnal animals like a group of rats."

"So we are absolutely safe now!"

Lieutenant Colonel Stephen said this and took up his cigar again.

"Bang~!"

A crisp gunshot rang out, and a bullet whizzed towards us from the foot of the mountain a few hundred meters away.

"Pfft~!"

The hot bullet hit Lieutenant Colonel Stephen in the face, penetrated into his head, blew a bloody hole in the back of his head, and flew out.

The spurting blood covered the heads and faces of the two enemy officers behind them.

Looking at the body of Lieutenant Colonel Stephen falling straight down, the enemy troops on the Watergate Bridge hid behind safe fortifications like frightened birds.

Li Guotao shot and killed Lieutenant Colonel Stephen, then quickly hid under the water pipe.

"Where did this bastard come from?"

"And he's smoking a fucking cigar!"

"Show off? Go ahead and show off!"

After Li Guotao approached and observed for a while, he found that this group of devils were gathered together to chat. Some of them were holding binoculars in their hands. They were obviously a group of enemy officers.

Because ordinary soldiers are basically working now, either building bridges and roads, or repairing fortifications.

Even when they were tired and resting, they would hide in a safe place. It was impossible for them to stand together and chat like this.

The distance was too far and the observation was not very clear, so Li Guotao could not tell who was the supreme commander.

But at this time, Lieutenant Colonel Stephen was courting death by lighting a cigar.

Li Guotao was originally a little hesitant about whether to take action, but this guy turned out to be smoking a cigar.

Isn't this a provocation?

So Li Guotao took decisive action and killed him with one shot.

[Ding Dong~! Congratulations on killing an enemy lieutenant colonel. You get bonus points +1500. ]

A crisp system prompt sounded, and Li Guotao made a huge profit again.

At this moment, Li Guotao was also extremely certain that the person he killed should be the enemy's highest commander at the Watergate Bridge.

Because a lieutenant colonel is already an officer at the battalion commander level in the enemy army.

The enemy garrison at the Watergate Bridge consisted of less than a battalion, or even less than two companies, so having a lieutenant colonel in charge was considered a high-ranking position.

The Watergate Bridge is so important, why didn't the enemy send more troops to garrison it?

The reason is very simple. The enemy's military strength in Gutuli is very limited, and Gutuli is also facing attacks from the main force of the Volunteer Army at any time, so it is impossible to withdraw more troops.
