Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 153 A nationally renowned combat hero!
Wu Qianli nodded and said, "What Li Guotao said makes some sense, but it's the same no matter who comes."

"We don't care who they are, we have only one goal, and that is to defeat them."

Li Guotao turned his head to look at the map on the wall, frowned slightly, and felt somewhat worried.

Because only Li Guotao knew that after the third battle, the subsequent battles would become even more brutal.

Because both sides have a certain understanding of their opponents, they are trying their best to find the weaknesses of the opponent and adopt targeted strategies and tactics.

Therefore, in the next few battles, the troops of both sides, which had gradually become familiar with their opponents, launched a more intense contest, and the fighting was naturally more brutal.

So Li Guotao understood that the next step would be the real test.

However, during this period of time, the entire Ninth Corps was in a state of rest and recuperation, and Li Guotao naturally had no chance to go to the battlefield again.

However, this is not a bad thing for Li Guotao, because Li Guotao can get a skill point and 100 points as a reward by signing in every day.

One hundred points a day is insignificant.

However, skill points can allow Li Guotao to quickly improve his strength.

Although one skill point is not much, you can get one every day, and a little bit adds up to a lot.

So during this period of rest, Li Guotao also learned some new skills, and he also maxed out some of his previous skills as much as possible. In this way, Li Guotao's strength was further improved.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed. During this period, there were no major battles on the front line. The newspapers mainly reported on some heroic battles in the past. Occasionally there were some small-scale battles, but they were basically just tests between the two sides.

Li Guotao glanced at Wu Qianli and asked, "Still no news?"

Wu Qianli shook his head and said, "No, I didn't receive any news anyway."

"but……"

Hearing this, Li Guotao suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked, "But what?"

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "But there is good news. Our superiors have already mobilized a group of additional troops for us, and they will probably arrive in the next two days."

"The commander has promised us that he will give priority to replenishing our third battalion."

"Give priority to replenishing our third battalion?"

Li Guotao asked curiously, "Is it because our Third Battalion suffered the greatest losses?"

Wu Qianli said: "Of course not, it's because we have made the most contributions."

"We performed so well this time, this is what the leader should give us."

Li Guotao chuckled and said, "That's great. When the troops are replenished, you will be worthy of the title of battalion commander."

Wu Qianli showed a bitter smile on his face, sighed slightly, and said: "Actually, I don't care."

Although Wu Qianli is now the battalion commander of the third battalion, the entire third battalion has only more than a hundred people, which is equivalent to the strength of a company.

Li Guotao glanced at the map on the wall and said, "Reinforcement of troops is indeed good news. Does this mean that we will be on the front line soon?"

Wu Qianli said thoughtfully: "We have been resting for more than a month. Our entire Ninth Corps did not participate in the third battle. Now it has been half a month since the end of the third battle."

"Is it time to launch a new round of attack?"

Li Guotao pointed at the map and said, "Look at the terrain of Bangbang."

"Bang Bang?"

Wu Qianli frowned slightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

The word "Goryeo Bangzi" is not a new word that has been created later, it has existed for a long time.

This term, like the Japanese devils, clearly carries misunderstanding and discrimination.

Our army has strict discipline and for the sake of unity, we naturally will not use this word.

"Yes!" Li Guotao responded quickly, saying, "Look at the map. The Korean Peninsula is long and thin, like a corn, right?"

"corn?"

Wu Qianli frowned and said, "Isn't that still a stick?"

"Hey~!"

Li Guotao waved his hand and said, "This time it was you who said it. I was talking about corn."

Wu Qianli said unhappily: "Okay, let's get to the point."

Li Guotao pointed at the map and said, "Look, the peninsula is only this wide from east to west, and it's long and thin."

"As we advance southward, our logistics supply lines will become longer and longer."

"Although we are not on the front line, we can hear enemy planes flying over the sky every day. They are bombing our rear transportation lines."

"So the further south you go, the more difficult it will be to provide logistics."

"This is not the most dangerous thing. The most dangerous thing is that the terrain is narrow."

"The enemy has the advantage in the sea and air. If we continue to advance, it will be easy for the enemy to cut off our retreat, and hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line will be surrounded."

Wu Qianli nodded slightly and asked, "What is your conclusion?"

Li Guotao said: "What I mean is that the boss must have had concerns in this regard, so he has not launched a new round of offensive yet."

Wu Qianli nodded and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Li Guotao went on to say: "At this point, we must be more cautious with every step forward."

"But what I am worried about now is that the enemy will take the initiative to launch a counterattack against us."

Wu Qianli asked back: "Will they?"

Li Guotao shook his head and said, "You are asking this question. My name is Li Guotao, not Li Qiwei. How would I know?"

"But I think that if we don't launch an attack, the enemy will definitely launch a counterattack."

"After all, if we continue to waste time like this, there will be no benefit for the enemy."

"If the enemy has made preparations in advance and has figured out our strengths and weaknesses, they will definitely counterattack."

Wu Qianli pondered for a moment, then said: "I think it's really a waste of your talent for you to stay here."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Hehe, actually I would rather stay in the Seventh Company. My dream is to become the company commander of the Seventh Company in the future."

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "I have good news for you."

Li Guotao smiled and asked, "You wanted me to be the company commander. Your dream has come true so soon."

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "You wish for that. I just heard that the organization has approved the merit you requested, and your heroic deeds have been reported in domestic newspapers. You are now a nationally renowned combat hero."

"The certificate of merit and medals will be issued soon. I heard there will be special rewards for you."

"What special reward?" Li Guotao asked curiously.

Wu Qianli shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, we'll know in a few days."

In fact, Li Guotao did not hold out much hope, because the entire army and even the entire country were extremely poor at that time. It was good enough to have enough food to eat. What material rewards could there be?

Li Guotao thought that the special reward must be a material reward, so he did not hold out much hope for it.

Of course, if the superior leader could really reward him with two bottles of good wine or something, Li Guotao would naturally be very happy.
