Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 152 This guy is not simple!
Wu Wanli suddenly said, "Captain, please stop teasing us. You have said this several times."

Wu Qianli glared at Wu Wanli and said, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Believe it or not, I will beat you up."

Wu Wanli said unyieldingly: "Beating people is the style of warlords. It is a violation of discipline."

"Haha~!"

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

Wu Qianli said: "The company commander can't beat you, but my second brother can."

Wu Wanli smiled and said: "I put on the military uniform and became a volunteer soldier. There are only comrades in the army, not brothers."

Yu Congrong said, "Can you two stop bickering?"

"Let's talk business!"

Everyone's eyes fell on Wu Qianli's face again, and Wu Qianli touched his nose embarrassedly.

"Um...I'm not saying these words to lie to you. This is what the captain told me."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "The leader just fooled you, and now you're trying to fool us?"

Wu Qianli spread his hands helplessly and said, "What can I do?"

"In fact, the higher-ups are also anxious and have been negotiating with Zhisi."

Li Guotao said, "Okay, everyone, don't make things difficult for the company commander. This is not something he can decide."

"Even our division commander, army commander, and even commander have to wait for orders from Zhisi."

"There's no point in being anxious, just wait patiently."

Yu Congrong said: "Isn't this the army's progress too fast? We have already taken Seoul. At this rate, it won't be long before we win."

Li Guotao said: "I think this war will not end so soon."

"Think about it, the United States has invested so much manpower and material resources in this war. Will they give up so easily?"

"The enemy has control of the air and sea, and their weapons and equipment are very powerful, and their firepower is very strong. We have seen all of this before."

"So these foreign devils are not so easy to deal with, not to mention whether we can successfully drive them into the sea."

"Even if we can successfully drive them into the sea, the enemy will not give up easily. They will definitely launch a counterattack at that time, just like the previous Incheon landing. Their navy can cover the troops and carry out landing operations at any suitable landing location."

"Their planes will continue to bomb us, so even if our army makes good progress, this war will not end quickly."

In fact, Li Guotao knew the real result, but at this moment, he couldn't directly tell the real result. He could only follow everyone's thoughts and make speculations.

At this time, Mei Sheng said: "I think what Li Guotao said makes sense. Although we have achieved a considerable victory now, we cannot be complacent."

"The enemy we are facing this time is still very powerful, and in many aspects, it is worth learning from them."

"Of course, what we need to learn more is how to beat them."

"According to the instructions of the Zhisi, each unit will summarize its combat experience and then share and learn from it among the entire army."

"In the future, the company commander and I will inform everyone of the latest battle reports and some detailed battle situations from the front line as soon as possible. Let's exchange and learn together, summarize experiences, and enhance our own strength so that we can go to the battlefield in a stronger posture in the future."

……

Two days later, Li Guotao came to the headquarters of the Third Battalion and flipped through the latest newspaper in order to understand the current situation as quickly as possible.

This was also Li Guotao's daily task. As long as there was a newspaper delivered, he would come over. He could also learn some information from Wu Qianli at the battalion headquarters. After all, Wu Qianli often went to the regiment headquarters to find out the situation from the regiment commander. Mei Sheng smiled and said, "The newspaper said that the enemy has now retreated to the vicinity of the 37th parallel."

"38th parallel?"

Li Guotao frowned slightly and thought about it. If he remembered correctly, the Volunteer Army did not continue the attack after advancing to the 38th parallel this time.

There are many reasons for this. One is the insufficient logistical support capabilities. After all, there are hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line, and the number of troops is increasing. As they continue to move southward, the supply lines are getting longer and longer.

Although on the map, the distance from the 38th parallel to the 37th parallel is just a small step, the logistical pressure has increased exponentially.

So at this point, the third battle came to a successful conclusion.

Our army won a great victory in the third battle and wiped out tens of thousands of Korean main forces. If these guys hadn't run so fast, the results would have been even more brilliant.

The coalition forces led by the United States and Britain also suffered nearly 20,000 casualties. The Volunteer Army successfully recaptured Seoul, which was a brilliant achievement.

The battle line also successfully advanced from the 38th parallel to the 37th parallel.

However, Li Guotao understood history and he was very clear that the subsequent war situation would be even more severe.

Li Guotao suddenly said: "It says here that when we captured Ridgway's headquarters, we found that when Ridgway evacuated Seoul, he nailed his pajamas to the wall and wrote a line of words on it."

"The Commander of the Eighth Army sends his regards to the Commander of the Chinese Army."

Wu Qianli frowned and said, "What do you mean? This guy left his pajamas behind. Is this a challenge to us? He said they will come back again."

Li Guotao shook his head and said, "Maybe that's what he meant! I'm not sure."

"But I always feel that this guy Ridgway is not simple. He should be much more difficult to deal with than Walker who was hit and killed."

Wu Qianli said: "It's all the same. I don't see what this guy is capable of."

"By the way, Li Qiwei, is your last name also Li?"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "That's definitely not the case. His last name is Li Qiwei."

"The last name is Ridgway? What's his name?"

"Matthew!"

Wu Qianli smiled bitterly and said, "Haha~! This American name is really interesting."

At this time, Mei Sheng asked: "Is there anything else written on it?"

Li Guotao shook his head and said, "That's not the case."

"We have relatively little information about this Ridgway, and he has only just taken office, so he probably doesn't understand the situation yet."

Mei Sheng frowned and asked, "So you just said this guy is very powerful?"

Li Guotao explained: "It's just my intuition."

"Besides, the Americans were defeated so quickly and so miserably. Under such circumstances, they will definitely not send another piece of trash here."

"And there is another point. The United States also experienced World War II, and its performance in World War II was quite impressive, and a large number of famous generals emerged."

"It's only been more than five years since the end of World War II. The enemy is not short of excellent commanders. The frontline was defeated so badly. The commander sent here at this time can't be a waste."
