Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 13 Stone Formation Crisis!
Wu Qianli stretched his muscles and couldn't help complaining, "This damn place is so damn cold!"

At this time, Meisheng came over and said, "The superiors sent another telegram urging us to speed up and transport the radio to the headquarters as soon as possible."

The Seventh Company did not have a radio, but this time it was escorting a radio to the headquarters, and there were four telegraph operators accompanying them, so they could naturally receive instructions from their superiors at any time.

Wu Qianli sighed slightly and said, "The war is imminent and the front line urgently needs a radio station, otherwise they wouldn't urge us over and over again."

“We have to speed up.”

Mei Sheng said helplessly: "We have already tried our best. If we speed up further, I am afraid the soldiers will not be able to handle it."

Wu Qianli said seriously: "This matter is of great importance. We must overcome all difficulties and complete the task as soon as possible."

"Everyone, take five minutes to pack your equipment and then set off."

"Yes!"

Li Guotao quickly organized his weapons and equipment and rubbed his sore calves.

The long march on foot is indeed a brutal challenge, but everything has just begun.

At this time, Pinghe suddenly came over, looked at Li Guotao and said, "Is there a chance for a competition?"

Li Guotao glanced at Pinghe and said with a smile, "I'm always available! Don't cry if you lose!"

Pinghe rolled his eyes at Li Guotao and said, "I've prepared a handkerchief for you!"

"Haha~!"

Li Guotao laughed and said, "Leave it for yourself."

If it was a competition of other things, Li Guotao really had no confidence, but he could compete in shooting.

Not to mention Pinghe, Li Guotao is not afraid of even the world's top sniper.

"Let's go~!"

Wu Qianli shouted, and the troops set out again, rushing to the headquarters urgently.

After walking for about an hour, a large open area appeared in front of us. The ground was bumpy and covered with stones of all sizes.

Wu Qianli walked to the front of the team and looked up. He saw corpses scattered on the rocky ground in the distance.

Wu Qianli raised the telescope and observed carefully.

Mei Sheng frowned and said, "There are so many corpses?"

Wu Qianli said: "It should have been bombed by enemy planes."

Meisheng nodded and said, "In an open area, with a clear view, the enemy's planes can easily spot them. A single dive and strafing can knock down a large number of them."

Wu Qianli said: "There are so many rocks and there is not even a road. It will take at least an hour to pass through and reach the mountainous area on the opposite side."

Mei Sheng glanced at the mountain opposite, then looked back at the soldiers of the Seventh Company, and said helplessly: "It's a waste of time to reach the mountain. In our current state, it's good enough if we can reach the other side in two hours."

At this time, Li Guotao also left the team and walked to the front. Looking at the open area covered with rocks, he couldn't help but frowned.

Stonehenge?
When these three words appeared in my mind, images of blood and flesh flying everywhere kept flashing through my mind.

Finally here!

In fact, Li Guotao has been thinking about this for the past two days, and it might be time to get here.

But he didn't know the distance, so naturally he didn't know when he would arrive.

Li Guotao walked quickly behind Wu Qianli and said, "Captain, this place is too dangerous. If we encounter enemy planes, we will be like those corpses."

"I know!"

Wu Qianli's expression kept changing, and he seemed to be hesitating.

Li Guotao reminded: "When I see this place, I always have a bad feeling. I suggest you wait until dark before crossing this place." Meisheng sighed helplessly and said: "In theory, this should be the safest way."

Wu Qianli flatly refused: "The superiors have repeatedly urged us to get to the headquarters as soon as possible."

"It's still a long time before dark, we can't wait!"

"Rest here for half an hour to recover your strength, then cross this place as quickly as possible."

Faced with such a situation, Wu Qianli had no better way, so he could only gamble!
"Company commander!"

Li Guotao wanted to persuade him again, but Wu Qianli suddenly turned around and raised his hand to interrupt Li Guotao.

"Execute the order!"

"Yes!"

Wu Qianli strode to the front of the team and shouted, "Everyone, take shelter and rest here. In half an hour, run over here as fast as you can."

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison.

Mei Sheng reached out and patted Li Guotao on the shoulder, then quickly ran to Wu Qianli.

"Captain, this guy's concerns are reasonable. Just like last time, it was because of his reminder that a major loss was avoided."

Wu Qianli glanced at Li Guotao and said with a smile: "Instructor, we are materialists. We can't always believe in some illusory intuition."

Mei Sheng quickly said, "I know! But we should also be prepared in advance. If we really encounter an enemy plane, how should we respond?"

Wu Qianli frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "Lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. The uniforms of those corpses are similar in color to ours. As long as we don't move, the enemy on the plane won't be able to tell whether we are dead or alive."

At this time, Li Guotao came over and said, "If you encounter a bomber, they usually fly high and you really can't see them."

"But we are afraid of encountering enemy fighter planes patrolling nearby. If they fly at low altitude, with so many of us carrying radios and other equipment, we may not be able to hide from the enemy."

Wu Qianli looked at Li Guotao in front of him with a puzzled look. This kid has indeed changed a lot, like a different person.

Not only has his marksmanship improved significantly, but his vision and knowledge are also very different from before.

If it weren't for this familiar face, Wu Qianli would even suspect that this guy might be an enemy spy who had sneaked in.

Li Guotao had long seen through Wu Qianli and others' suspicion of him, but Li Guotao had nothing to worry about. After all, he was the real Li Guotao, and a man of integrity had nothing to fear.

Li Guotao went on to say: “We cannot leave our fate completely in the hands of the enemy.”

"If we really encounter an enemy fighter jet flying at low altitude, I think we can still take decisive action and shoot it down if there is a chance."

"We have so many sharpshooters and machine guns in our company. As long as they fly low enough and we act decisively, we can catch them off guard and shoot down one or two enemy planes. It should be no problem at all."

Meisheng nodded and said, "I think what this kid said makes sense. It's an adventure for us to cross this place at this time."

"If we really encounter an enemy aircraft, we can't really leave the lives of the entire company to fate!"

"You also said that we don't believe in fate."

Wu Qianli nodded and said, "That's settled then! It's better to be prepared!"

"Instructor, please come and make some arrangements!"

"Yes!"

Mei Sheng responded and said, "Of course, we still hope not to encounter enemy planes."

Li Guotao was obviously relieved. Others didn't know, but Li Guotao was clear that if the plot did not change, they would definitely encounter enemy planes.
