Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 127 All came in handy!

"Do you think we have any other options?"

Hearing this, Colonel Bowser fell silent. They really had no other choice.

If it is true as Major General Smith said, they are doomed to fail now.

Major General Smith sighed deeply and said, "All we can do now is to try our best to fight for the last glimmer of hope."

"The troops must continue to attack and advance in the direction of the Watergate Bridge and try to reach the Watergate Bridge as soon as possible."

"After the steel bridge is airdropped, we need to transport it over as soon as possible. Maybe there is still a chance."

Colonel Bowser also looked as pale as death at this moment.

Major General Smith patted him on the shoulder and said, "Calm down, old friend. This news cannot be spread yet. If all the soldiers lose hope, then we are really finished."

Colonel Bowser asked helplessly: "Is there really nothing we can do?"

Major General Smith sighed deeply and said, "If we abandon all our heavy equipment and all our baggage and supplies, and all our personnel scatter through the small roads, what do you think will be the consequences?"

Colonel Bowser replied helplessly: "Morale has reached rock bottom now, and our soldiers are holding on desperately. If we try to break out in different ways, the entire line will inevitably collapse."

"Under the fierce attack of the enemy's main force, the troops will be completely defeated."

Major General Smith nodded and said, "Our soldiers are exhausted. Even asking them to brave the severe cold and run to Xingnan Port dozens of kilometers away is a severe test in itself."

"We are not like those Chinese. Although their equipment is worse than ours, they have superhuman willpower, which is something we cannot match."

"Besides, they won't let us go. They will attack and chase us with all their might. We can't outrun them, and we will only be defeated faster and more miserably."

"Maybe some people can escape, but they are definitely not the majority, only a very small number of lucky ones."

"So we have no other options. If our steel bridge had not been destroyed before, we might have had a chance, but now we have no chance at all."

"I am only hoping that my guess is not correct and that the enemy does not have enough troops to penetrate the area south of the Watergate Bridge."

"This way we still have a glimmer of hope. Of course, the premise is that we can successfully reach the Watergate Bridge."

Colonel Bowser gritted his teeth and said, "We will go all out to attack the Watergate Bridge."

"Of course, our helicopters will also be ready. If that moment really comes, we will escort the general to evacuate to Xingnan Port as soon as possible."

"You must not fall into the hands of the enemy."

Major General Smith sighed helplessly, feeling sad in his heart.

Although he was a major general and a division commander, he could escape by helicopter at any time.

But the entire army was wiped out, and even if he could escape safely, it would probably not be a good outcome.

If things go wrong, you will be brought to a military court and sent to prison.

So now Major General Smith can only try his best to do his job well so that he can defend himself in court in the future.

Major General Smith looked up at the direction of the Watergate Bridge and said through gritted teeth: "Continue to attack the Watergate Bridge with all your strength."

"Yes sir!"

……

On the smoke-filled battlefield, flares were continuously launched into the sky, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

Under the cover of more than a dozen tanks, a large number of enemy troops launched a fierce charge towards the volunteer army positions on the hillside.

The blocking position had been bombed into a scorched earth, and the bodies of the fallen soldiers covered the entire position. However, the surviving soldiers still fought desperately to hold their positions and resist the enemy's fierce attack.

Faced with the enemy's frenzied attack, the volunteer soldiers, who were already blood-thirsty, all fired at full force and continuously threw grenades at the rushing enemy.

The enemy's corpses were piled up on the hillside, but in order to break through the Volunteer Army's blockade, these foreign devils were completely crazy at this moment, rushing forward desperately.

Because they all knew that if they couldn't break out as soon as possible, death would be waiting for them.

The battle was extremely brutal.

On the nameless high ground in the distance.

Li Guotao looked at the battlefield full of gunfire, frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that these foreign devils are really driven crazy."

"It's really not a good feeling to just sit there and watch our brothers fight with them."

Wu Qianli frowned and said, "Keep calm!"

Li Guotao sighed and said, "But I hope we can just sit there and watch and worry forever."

Because Li Guotao knew very well that once the enemy attacked, it would mean that the front position had been breached and all the brother troops on the position would be killed in battle.

So even though they can only watch here anxiously now, they would rather watch like this forever.

Wu Qianli patted Li Guotao on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the blood of the soldiers will not be shed in vain."

Li Guotao saw soldiers laying mines at the foot of the mountain and asked knowingly, "Are they laying mines?"

"Correct!"

Wu Qianli nodded and said, "We seized a batch of mines before, among which were anti-tank mines, which can be used here."

Li Guotao nodded and said, "Yes, burying it there can also hold off the enemy for a while longer."

The reason why these anti-tank mines were not used when blocking the enemy convoy before was because we had no idea when the enemy convoy would pass by.

It's useless even if it's buried in advance, because mines don't recognize people.

If the enemy patrol stepped on them, not only would the mines be wasted, but they would also be exposed in advance.

But now it is different. Their mission is to block the enemy and prevent any enemy from passing through the road.

So now these mines are finally put to use.

Li Guotao smiled and said, "This batch of weapons and ammunition seized at the Watergate Bridge have all come in handy."

Li Guotao said this on purpose, because these anti-tank mines were originally exchanged by him, and those incendiary bombs were also exchanged by him from the system mall and placed in the enemy's ammunition depot.

Although some enemies were captured, no one would reconcile the accounts with the prisoners, so naturally no one would discover this problem.

At this time, Li Guotao saw a large number of enemies rushing to the top of a hill in the distance.

The remaining volunteer soldiers on the top of the mountain immediately engaged in a melee with the enemy soldiers who rushed up.

Not long after, a flame rose from the top of the mountain and more than 20 enemies were blown to the ground.

After a while, the battlefield gradually fell into calm. With the light of flares, enemy soldiers could be vaguely seen planting their flags on the top of the mountain.

This means that all the volunteer soldiers on the mountain were killed in battle and the position was lost.
