Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 129 Upgrade skills!
The gunfire gradually stopped, and the battle here came to a temporary end.

Wu Qianli shouted loudly: "Clean up the battlefield, rescue the wounded, and be careful to avoid the artillery."

"Always be ready to fight~!"

"Yes!"

Everyone understood that the enemy was now desperately trying to break through and they would soon launch another attack.

However, the soldiers were not worried, because there were friendly troops near his Third Battalion, to the south and on the flanks, ready to support them at any time.

Even if we take a step back and say that even if the enemy breaks through the third battalion's defense line, they will have no way to escape.

Li Guotao hid in a safe place and opened the task interface to take a look.

With the completion of task three, Li Guotao has now completed five system tasks.

There are still Task 4, Task 5, Task 8, Task 9 and Task 10, a total of five tasks that have not been completed.

Among them, Task Eight is about to be completed. As long as the blocking mission is completed and the main force wipes out the main force of the enemy, Task Eight will be completely completed.

Judging from the current trend, it will only take these two days.

At this time, Li Guotao was not so anxious to complete these system tasks, and just let everything take its course.

After completing the task this time, Li Guotao gained another 8 skill points.

There was no use keeping this thing, so Li Guotao decided to use it all to strengthen his own strength.

In the past few days, Li Guotao has also improved his melee combat ability by gaining a skill point every day, just in case.

Both stabbing and fighting have been upgraded to level 4.

Now Li Guotao also plans to continue improving his melee combat capabilities.

[Ding Dong~! Congratulations on reaching level 6 in your stabbing skill.]

[Ding Dong~! Congratulations, your fighting skill has reached level 6. ]

Level 6 is already pretty impressive!
This is enough to deal with the next battle.

Because the maximum level is level 10, and level 10 is almost infinitely close to the limit of the human body.

Reaching level 6 is already far beyond the average level. Both of these skills have reached level 6. Even in the entire Seventh Company, such strength is rare, not to mention sweeping the entire company. There are no more than three people who can surpass Li Guotao in this regard.

At least in Li Guotao's opinion, having such strength is enough.

After all, this is modern warfare, and the opportunities for close combat will become fewer and fewer.

Moreover, Li Guotao has always believed that if a problem can be solved with a gun, never use a knife, and if a problem can be solved with a knife, never use fists.

After using up four skill points, there are still four skill points left.

The tank driving skill had been upgraded to level 2 before, and Li Guotao did not hesitate to add the remaining four skill points to tank driving.

[Ding Dong~! Congratulations! Your tank driving skill has been successfully upgraded to level 6. ]

Because Li Guotao judged that there would still be opportunities to use tanks in the future.

For others, it would definitely be very difficult to capture a tank.

But for Li Guotao, this is not a difficult task.

After all, as long as you have enough points in the system mall, you can buy any weapon.

With Li Guotao's current savings, it is very easy to buy a tank.

Although he was constantly using points, Li Guotao always kept some points for reserve, and he had good gains in every battle. Now he still had more than 30,000 points accumulated.

As expected, the enemy did not give up. They quickly mobilized their firepower and began bombarding the position of the Third Battalion.

Shells fell one after another, and violent explosions continued to sound.

Fortunately, the soldiers reacted quickly and basically all hid in the tunnels, which ensured their safety. In the previous period of time, the soldiers were not idle either, they had been digging tunnels and preparing for battle.

Now the tunnels on each position are sufficient to ensure the safety of the soldiers of the entire Third Battalion.

In fact, it was called a battalion, but after these battles, the troops suffered heavy losses. The three companies combined had less than two hundred people.

The 9th Company suffered the heaviest casualties, with only about thirty people left, which is about the strength of a platoon.

The Seventh Company was not much stronger, with only about sixty people left. The Eighth Company was in a slightly better situation, with only seventy or eighty people left.

You have to know that before the war, the Seventh Company had 157 people, and the Eighth and Ninth Companies had about the same number. Together with the people from the battalion headquarters, the total strength of the entire Third Battalion was more than 500 people. But now there are only this few people left, which shows how cruel the battle was.

……

Inside the Volunteer Army Headquarters.

"Reporting to the commander, all troops have been deployed to the battle according to the original plan."

“So far the troops are making good progress.”

"What's the situation of the blocking troops?"

"The enemy is advancing towards the Watergate Bridge like crazy. The blocking troops are doing their best to stop them. In addition, we are also continuously sending troops to support the front line and launch attacks from the flanks to tie down the enemy's forces."

"Very good! Inform the blocking troops to stop the enemy's attack at all costs."

"Yes!"

"Don't worry, Commander. Judging from the current trend, the enemy is already at the end of its strength and can't hold out for much longer."

"Yes! All attacking forces must go all out to launch the attack. At this critical moment, we must not slack off. We must strive to defeat the main force of the enemy as soon as possible and win a complete victory in this battle."

"Yes!"

Under the unified command of the headquarters, all volunteer army units in the Changjin Lake area devoted themselves to the battle.

Under the fierce offensive of the Volunteer Army, the enemy suffered heavy losses and was defeated.

One position after another was breached. Since the enemies gathered near the highway, like a big snake, the battle line was very long.

Under the fierce offensive of the Volunteer Army, the enemy was gradually divided into several sections, and the fighting in various places became more intense.

This is undoubtedly fatal to the enemy.

This also means that the main force of the enemy forces in the encirclement has come to an end.

The news continued to reach Major General Smith's command center. Looking at the sand table in front of him, the old guy was sweating profusely with anxiety.

"How could this be?"

"This defeat was too quick!"

Colonel Bowser said helplessly: "The enemy's offensive was too fierce. Our morale was low and the soldiers were exhausted. We could not withstand the fierce offensive of the enemy."

"There are enemies everywhere, and they are constantly attacking our positions like a mountain torrent or a tsunami."

"We won't be able to hold out for much longer if this trend continues."

Major General Smith asked, "How is the assault force doing?"

Colonel Bowser replied helplessly: "The assault troops ahead have encountered stubborn resistance from the enemy, suffering heavy losses, and their offensive has been repeatedly blocked. At this rate of advancement, it will be difficult to reach the Watergate Bridge before dawn."

"And our main force may not hold out until dawn."

"Some troops have now been separated and can only fight on their own. The situation is very dangerous."

Major General Smith slumped down on his chair and said helplessly, "It's over. It's completely over now."
