Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 123 Completely destroy the steel beam bridge!
"Hit~!"

Following Wu Qianli's roar.

Li Guotao pulled the trigger first and killed an enemy soldier who was mounting an anti-aircraft machine gun on a tank with one shot.

A shot to the head, clean and quick.

Li Guotao moved quickly and fired continuously, killing one enemy at a time. In the blink of an eye, he killed several enemies.

Pinghe and others also pulled the trigger one after another, and the machine gunners on armored vehicles and tanks, as well as truck drivers became the priority targets.

Mei Sheng, Yu Congrong and others set up rocket launchers and fired at the enemy.

Four rockets whizzed down into the enemy convoy.

"Boom~!"

The cab of the truck in the front was completely blown up and stopped on the road, unable to move, thus blocking the road and preventing the enemies behind from passing.

At the same time, a tank and two armored personnel carriers were destroyed one after another, and the enemy's convoy was cut into several sections, forcing them all to stop.

Dozens of soldiers lying in ambush in various places also fired at the enemy with all their might. For a moment, gunfire rang out, and dense bullets covered the enemy's convoy like raindrops.

The enemy was caught off guard and immediately fell into chaos.

Lei Gong's two mortars also began to bombard the enemy convoy on the road with all their might.

At this moment, Wu Qianli and about twenty soldiers rushed up from different places.

Wu Qianli shouted loudly: "Charge forward~!"

"Covering fire."

Wu Wanli moved quickly, rushing down the hillside and approaching the enemy convoy.

"Da da da~!"

A string of dense bullets swept past, and the boy was very smart and quickly hid behind a big rock.

Li Guotao killed the enemy machine gunner on the armored vehicle at the foot of the mountain with one shot.

Wu Wanli observed for a moment and then continued to rush forward.

Seeing that they were only a few dozen meters away from the highway, Wu Wanli quickly took out a grenade, pulled the ring, and threw it towards the enemy convoy.

The grenade spun in the air and fell quickly, landing accurately on the canvas covering the back of a truck.

"Boom~!"

A burst of flames rose into the sky, and a huge fireball instantly enveloped the carriage, splashing flames around it and also igniting a raging fire.

That’s right, Wu Wanli threw the M15 incendiary grenade.

Not only him, but also the other twenty or so soldiers who rushed out, each of them carried several incendiary grenades. Their target was also very simple, which was the steel bridge kit on the truck.

This thing is made of special steel and is very strong. If it were an ordinary grenade, it would be impossible to blow it up.

Unless it's a cluster grenade or a pack of explosives.

However, whether it is a cluster grenade or an explosive pack, you have to get close before you can throw it onto the truck.

This would be very dangerous, after all, the enemy has so many tanks and armored vehicles, and their firepower is very fierce.

But it is different when using incendiary grenades. These selected grenade throwers can accurately throw incendiary grenades onto the truck from dozens of meters away.

This type of white phosphorus grenade can generate temperatures of thousands of degrees after explosion. The white phosphorus adheres to steel and can completely burn through it.

More than 20 soldiers, braving the enemy's hail of bullets and after several casualties, finally rushed to the bomb-dropping position.

The soldiers threw the incendiary grenades in their hands one after another, and the incendiary grenades flew towards the enemy's trucks one after another. Balls of fire rose into the sky. There were only six heavy trucks pulling steel frame bridge parts.

Each truck was hit by at least twenty incendiary grenades, and the raging flames completely engulfed the steel frame bridges.

All of this was part of Li Guotao's plan. As early as the battle in Xinxingli, Li Guotao discovered that the M15 incendiary grenade was indeed useful.

So every time there was a battle, whenever there was a chance, Li Guotao would exchange some incendiary grenades for emergency use.

Li Guotao had already known about the enemy's plan to transport the steel frame bridge, so he had planned this ambush long ago.

Therefore, after capturing the Watergate Bridge last time, Li Guotao directly exchanged hundreds of incendiary grenades in order to completely destroy these steel frame bridge structures.

The enemy troops were suddenly attacked and were in chaos. The enemy lieutenant colonel leading the team was directing his troops to organize resistance on the walkie-talkie. When he saw the trucks completely engulfed in flames, the enemy lieutenant colonel was stunned.

Everything happened so suddenly that the enemy had no time to react.

"Put out the fire!"

The enemy lieutenant colonel shouted at the top of his lungs, not even caring about dealing with the enemies on the mountain.

"Hurry up and put out the fire!"

Because these enemies are very clear that these kits are related to whether tens of thousands of enemy main forces can successfully withdraw from the Watergate Bridge.

An officer nearby reminded him, "Sir, this is an M15, and that is a white phosphorus grenade! We can't put out the fire at all. Going up to put it out would be suicide."

"Fake~!"

The enemy lieutenant colonel cursed: "These cunning enemies, come up with a solution! Otherwise we will all go to jail."

"Sir, there is no other way!"

At this time, the soldiers from the 8th and 9th companies also rushed to the battlefield and joined the battle.

The two companies were also bluffing. The charge was sounded from both sides, and the soldiers just fired at the enemy on the hill to attract the enemy's firepower.

Wu Qianli looked at the blazing fire at the foot of the mountain and turned to ask Li Guotao: "Can these steel bridges really be completely burned down?"

This is a matter of great importance and we must not allow for the slightest mistake.

Li Guotao said: "Theoretically, there is no problem. The melting point of steel is only over a thousand degrees, while the incendiary grenade can reach a temperature of thousands of degrees."

"Even if we can't burn them completely, we can burn them into serious deformation."

Wu Qianli suddenly said: "This is not enough, we must ensure that everything is foolproof."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Then let's hit them twice more! Destroy them completely."

Wu Qianli nodded and gave the order.

Then, one mortar shell after another and rockets landed accurately on the steel bridge kit behind the truck.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and the steel frame bridge, which was already almost burned, was suddenly blown into pieces and completely broken.

This time it is completely unusable.

Wu Qianli observed the situation and then ordered: "Mission accomplished, stop attacking and retreat to a safe position."

Following Wu Qianli's order, the soldiers retreated to the reverse slope position one after another, basically breaking away from contact with the enemy.

The enemy's tanks couldn't get up at all, and the remaining infantry didn't have the courage to continue attacking the mountain.

The enemy lieutenant colonel saw that the steel beam bridge had been completely destroyed and that continuing to fight would be of no avail, so he ordered a retreat.
