Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 169 Rich spoils!

When Wu Qianli saw that the Seventh Company had seized so many spoils, he was also very surprised.

“What a harvest!”

Li Guotao laughed and said, "It's just so-so. We have better luck."

Wu Qianli took a look at the truck and asked, "What's on it?"

Li Guotao smiled and replied, "Weapons, ammunition, and some military rations."

Wu Qianli immediately smiled and said, "Great, these are the supplies we need most."

Li Guotao certainly knew that these were the supplies most needed by the troops. After all, a large part of these spoils were exchanged by Li Guotao from the system mall.

Moreover, not only the supplies of the Seventh Company, but also many of the spoils captured by other brother units were from Li Guotao's hand.

Li Guotao smiled and said, "I've said it before, as long as we encounter the enemy, we don't have to worry about going hungry."

"Moreover, the enemy is extremely wealthy, with ammunition, weapons and supplies in sufficient supply."

Wu Qianli nodded slightly, and then said: "Count the spoils as soon as possible. The Seventh Company will keep a portion, and the rest will be handed over and distributed uniformly."

Li Guotao asked with a smile: "Captain, is this considered robbery?"

Wu Qianli said righteously: "All the spoils must be returned to the public. This is discipline."

"All right!"

Li Guotao said helplessly: "Who made you the battalion commander? A higher rank can crush people to death!"

In fact, Li Guotao was just talking casually. He had no intention of eating alone. After all, he had to consider the overall situation.

Wu Qianli said with a smile: "You are quite a talker."

"But you did perform well this time. I believe that under your leadership, the Seventh Company will be able to achieve greater success."

In fact, when Wu Qianli chose Li Guotao as the company commander, he also hesitated.

Although Li Guotao performed well, had great military achievements, and was a talented commander.

However, Wu Qianli was worried that Li Guotao would not be able to do the job because he had too little combat experience and was too shallow. But now it seems that his previous worries were unnecessary, and choosing Li Guotao was indeed a very wise choice.

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Don't worry, old company commander. We will definitely be able to create more glories."

Old company commander?
Well! Wu Qianli felt a little emotional as he had become an old company commander without realizing it.

Li Guotao asked: "Battalion Commander, are there any new instructions next?"

Wu Qianli said: "Our superiors ordered us to stay in hiding and rest on the spot."

Li Guotao nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "The enemy wants to take advantage of this opportunity to completely defeat us, and they will definitely not give up."

"They will definitely continue to pursue us, and our army's current situation is not very good. We can only continue to block the enemy and wait for the subsequent reinforcements to arrive."

Wu Qianli said: "I heard that the country has sent reinforcements to support the front line, and they will probably arrive soon."

"As soon as the reinforcements arrive, we can turn the situation around."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "That's great. Now we just need to delay time and take the opportunity to continuously consume the enemy's forces. When the reinforcements arrive, we should be able to launch a counterattack."

In this battle, a large amount of spoils were seized and the soldiers could finally have a good meal.

After Li Guotao had the soldiers of the Seventh Company replenish their ammunition, he left behind a batch of rations, and the remaining spoils were all sent to the regiment headquarters.

Although only a small part is left, it is enough for the next battle of the Seventh Company. If they eat the food sparingly, they can hold out for a while.

Moreover, with Li Guotao here and now on the front line, the Seventh Company does not have to worry about logistics. …

"Report to the regiment commander, the French battalion has completely lost contact, and the battle over there seems to be over."

"It's over!"

Colonel Freeman wilted instantly like an eggplant hit by frost. He frowned and looked into the distance, his heart full of worry.

"Fake~!"

The anger that had been accumulating in Freeman's heart suddenly burst out, and he shouted loudly: "I was badly hurt by that hateful old mad dog."

"I reminded them more than once not to take risks and move forward, but they just wouldn't listen."

"Now, they are all dead, but they have caused me great harm."

"That old cripple Monkla, he didn't stay at home to enjoy his retirement, but had to rush over here to die! He is really abominable."

An officer nearby said, "Sir, calm down. They are asking for trouble. It's not our fault. We have tried our best to support them, but we were stubbornly blocked by the enemy."

Colonel Freeman said angrily: "The superiors don't think so. They are not just an ordinary battalion, but the entire force sent by the French. Now they are all finished."

"It was only a minor defeat militarily, but it was of great significance politically."

"Those dirty, stupid Frenchmen are not going to let this go."

Another officer said, "Sir, calm down. Now that things have come to this, there is nothing we can do."

Colonel Freeman sighed deeply and said, "Order the troops to stop the attack!"

"Don't die in vain for those Frenchmen who are already dead."

"Yes sir!"

"Also, report this situation immediately! It has already happened and there is no way to avoid it."

"Yes sir!"

"Fuck, this old mad dog Monkla, has he lived to this day just to trick me?"

The news was reported up the chain of command, and the destruction of the French camp did indeed cause a great shock within the enemy army.

When Lieutenant General Ridgway learned the news, he was also furious. After all, the political impact of this matter was too great.

But things have already happened, and Lieutenant General Ridgway is helpless. Now the battle has reached the most critical moment.

Lieutenant General Ridgway felt that he was getting closer and closer to victory, so he naturally refused to give up.

Lieutenant General Ridgway roared loudly: "Notify all troops on the front line to continue to advance according to the original plan. Don't give the enemy any breathing space."

A brigadier general at the scene reminded: "The enemy suddenly launched a counterattack. Perhaps reinforcements have arrived. Should we be more careful?"

Lieutenant General Ridgway said confidently: "This is absolutely impossible. At most, it is a small supporting force. It is definitely not the main force of the enemy."

"This cannot change the current situation of the war. They are already defeated. We cannot miss this opportunity."

"Also, inform all units to give special care to our allies, especially those that only sent a battalion, a company or even a platoon. The tragedy of the French battalion must never happen again."

"Yes sir!"

In fact, although the coalition forces claimed to have 16 countries at that time, except for the United States, Britain and other countries, most of them only sent a battalion, just to make up the numbers. Even a small country only sent a platoon.

South Korea was not yet a formal country at the time and had not joined the United Nations, so it was not included in the 16-nation coalition. Including South Korea, the total number of enemies we faced was countries.
