Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 120 What the hell is this?

Wu Qianli picked up the walkie-talkie himself and started calling the Eighth Company.

"Eighth Company, have you found the parachute?"

"found it!"

"Great! Let your company commander talk to me."

Captain Jiang of the Eighth Company looked at the big iron thing in front of him with a sad face and kicked it angrily.

"What the hell is this?"

"Are these bastards so bored that they airdropped such a big iron thing?"

The soldiers of the Eighth Company present were all extremely disappointed.

"Could this be the enemy's secret weapon?"

"Bullshit, does this thing look like a gun? Or a cannon?"

"Then why do they throw this thing all the way here?"

Captain Jiang said angrily: "Who knows? It's so big that we can't take it away. The problem is that it's useless to keep it!"

"Captain, the acting battalion commander wants to speak to you."

"Hey! Lao Wu!"

"Lao Jiang, what on earth is that thing hanging under the parachute?"

Captain Jiang replied: "I was angry! We came all the way here, and I was sweating, but guess what happened?"

"It's just a big iron thing, it's useless. I don't know what the hell these foreign devils are doing."

Wu Qianli couldn't help but frown when he heard this. Li Guotao next to him came over and said, "Captain, ask Captain Jiang what that thing looks like?"

Wu Qianli shouted quickly, "Old Jiang, stop talking nonsense. Describe to me in detail what that thing looks like."

Captain Jiang said impatiently, "What else can it look like? It's just a long iron thing, several meters long! It looks quite solid, this thing can't be used by the enemy to build fortifications!"

"But where would such a large iron thing be used? I have never seen it before and I don't know what it is!"

Li Guotao also heard what Captain Jiang said, and immediately said, "Captain, that thing must be the steel beam that the enemy used to build the bridge."

"I just counted them. The enemy threw eight pieces in total. If I'm not mistaken, if we put these things on the Watergate Bridge, we can build another bridge."

"Otherwise, why would the enemy airdrop this thing from so far away?"

Wu Qianli suddenly reacted after hearing this and said, "The enemy can really drop a bridge from the air."

Wu Qianli was shocked. This matter was completely beyond his understanding, but Li Guotao's analysis made a lot of sense. Apart from repairing bridges, Wu Qianli couldn't think of what other uses this thing could have!
Wu Qianli quickly said to Captain Jiang: "Old Jiang, let me tell you, that thing is used by the enemy to repair the Watergate Bridge."

Hearing this, Captain Jiang suddenly understood, nodded and said, "I see, no wonder the enemy dropped such a big thing."

Before he finished speaking, a soldier's shout was heard in the distance.

"Captain, there is an enemy group coming this way!"

Captain Jiang said quickly, "Old Wu, there are enemies coming. They are probably here to steal this thing."

Wu Qianli said immediately: "We must not let this thing fall into the hands of the enemy. If you can't take it away, blow it up for me. It must be completely destroyed."

Captain Jiang said, "We probably won't be able to use this thing. It's too heavy to take with us."

"Then I'll blow him up!"

"It must be completely destroyed!"

Captain Jiang said: "Don't worry!"

Captain Jiang angrily kicked the steel beam again and shouted, "Put the explosive packs in place immediately and make sure to blow this broken thing up completely."

"Yes!"

"How many enemies are there?" "One tank, three armored personnel carriers, and about dozens of people! The distance is about three miles."

Captain Jiang observed the surrounding terrain and immediately ordered: "Immediately ambush on the mountains on both sides of the valley entrance and prepare for battle."

"Yes!"

The soldiers immediately took action and ambushed on the hillsides on both sides of the valley entrance.

Since this is a mountainous area and there are no roads at all, the enemy's tanks and armored vehicles are moving very slowly in the valley full of rocks and potholes.

By the time they arrived at the entrance of the valley, the soldiers were already ready for battle.

However, this group of enemies were not fools. They spotted the volunteer soldiers from a distance. Seeing that they had occupied the commanding heights on both sides, they immediately turned their guns and began shooting at the volunteer soldiers on the mountain.

The tank gun also slowly turned and aimed at the target.

The enemies on the armored vehicles also jumped down one after another, formed a battle formation, and prepared to launch an attack.

Captain Jiang ordered loudly: "Attract enemy firepower and shoot."

The soldiers also opened fire back, and there was a burst of gunfire.

At this time, two soldiers took the opportunity to go around the side of the enemy tank, set up the bazooka and aimed at the enemy tank.

“Chiu~! Boom~!”

With a loud explosion, the enemy tank was destroyed by a single shot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy immediately began to retreat.

The soldiers took the opportunity to shoot and kill several enemy soldiers and destroyed an enemy armored vehicle. However, due to the long distance, the other enemies took the opportunity to escape.

Captain Jiang did not order a pursuit either.

Captain Jiang picked up the walkie-talkie again.

"Old Wu~!"

"How is Lao Jiang?"

"The enemy only sent a few dozen people, and we have already repelled them. Do we still need to blow this thing up?"

Wu Qianli pondered for a moment and said, "Let's blow it up to avoid any more trouble. It's difficult to move something so heavy, and you can't stay there forever."

"Exploded!"

"Yes!"

Wu Qianli put down the walkie-talkie, turned around and said to Li Guotao: "Li Guotao, now that this thing has been blown up by us, the enemy will not be able to repair the Watergate Bridge."

Li Guotao said: "That may not be the case. The enemy airdropped eight sets of steel beams. Do you know how many sets are needed to repair the bridge?"

"Maybe only four sets are enough. The enemy dropped more just to be on the safe side. After all, it's an airdrop, what if it breaks?"

"The enemy will certainly go all out to repair the Watergate Bridge, which is their only escape route. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, they will definitely not take any risks."

"And one set fell into our hands, and the enemy only sent a few dozen people to snatch it, which means they don't particularly value this set."

"If they don't have this set, they will definitely come here at all costs to snatch it."

Wu Qianli nodded and said, "You make sense. The enemy won't take this risk, and we can't rely on any luck."

"Fortunately, they just airdropped the stuff into the ancient soil. We still have to transport it to the Watergate Bridge."

"This is the path they must take. No matter what, we must blow up these steel beams at all costs."

Li Guotao reminded: "If my guess is correct, this thing is made of special steel, otherwise it would not be able to withstand a tank weighing dozens of tons."

"So it's still difficult to blow this thing up."
