Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 27 Arriving at the Headquarters!
In a remote mountain valley, the soldiers of the Seventh Company were resting in seclusion.

Wu Qianli sat on the ground with his back against a big rock, looking at a map in his hand.

"We should be here now, not far from Dayuldong."

Meisheng glanced at the map, nodded, and said, "We are finally getting to the end!"

Wu Qianli said: "No, everything has just begun. After completing the mission, we must rush to the Changjin Lake area as soon as possible to return to the base."

Mei Sheng said: "According to the latest information provided by our superiors, there are already enemies in this area."

Wu Qianli frowned slightly and said, "Is the enemy advancing so fast?"

The Seventh Company crossed the Wolf Forest Mountains and actually reached the western region from the eastern region.

Meisheng nodded slightly.

Wu Qianli glanced at the map again and said, "I'm afraid our commander is the only one in the world who dares to set up his headquarters behind enemy lines."

Mei Sheng said: "Our commander is really amazing."

Wu Qianli said thoughtfully: "Hundreds of thousands of our troops have already entered North Korea, and the enemy is about to advance to the Yalu River."

"This means that our main forces are all hiding on the enemy's flanks, ready to launch a counterattack at any time."

"The battle will then begin on both the eastern and western fronts simultaneously."

Mei Sheng smiled slightly and said, "So after we complete the mission, we must return as soon as possible, so as not to miss the important event."

"rest assured!"

Wu Qianli put away the map and said, "It will definitely be OK."

"How can we miss our Seventh Infiltration Company in this kind of big battle?"

"There are still a few dozen miles left. Let's rest for an hour. Let the soldiers grit their teeth and hold on until we get to the headquarters before resting."

"it is good!"

The soldiers had consumed a lot of energy during the long march, but fortunately they had seized a lot of food during the last attack on the communication station, so the Seventh Company had no shortage of food. Otherwise, if they were hungry and faced with such severe cold, they might not have been able to survive.

The soldiers were exhausted, so they naturally had to seize every opportunity to rest, eat, sleep, and replenish their strength.

Because it was too cold, the soldiers could only huddle together for warmth when sleeping.

They found some places sheltered from the wind, cleared the snow, spread a layer of leaves and weeds on the ground, and then covered it with quilts, and a group of people huddled together to keep warm.

But now the Seventh Company has added a batch of new equipment, which are sleeping bags captured from the enemy.

This thing is made of duck down and has excellent warmth retention. When a person crawls into it, only the head is exposed, which is relatively much more comfortable.

It’s just a pity that the number of seized duck down bags is limited and there is no guarantee that everyone will get one.

Because the Seventh Company gave a lot of supplies to the Sixth Company at that time.

So those with sleeping bags are on the outside, and those without sleeping bags are on the inside.

Li Guotao took off his boots, got into his sleeping bag, and said with a smile: "These foreign devils really know how to enjoy themselves."

"Next time, we'll try to capture more. If we each have one, we won't have to worry about freezing."

As Li Guotao spoke, he stuffed the stinky boots into the sleeping bag and held it in his arms.

Li Guotao didn't have this special hobby, and he didn't want to hold these stinky boots.

But with the temperature outside at dozens of degrees below zero, if you leave your boots outside, they will be completely frozen in a short while. Once they are completely frozen, you can't wear them even if you want to.

Fortunately, Li Guotao has gotten used to it. If he couldn't even endure this little bit of hardship, how could he talk about defending his country?
Li Guotao covered his face with a hat to prevent his handsome face from being frozen. He leaned against his comrade and soon fell asleep.

Comfortable times always pass quickly.

The soldiers on duty woke up their sleeping comrades.

Not to mention being in a hurry to travel, even if you have enough time to sleep, when camping in the wild, you can only sleep for about an hour at a time, and then you will be called up to move your body, because it is too cold, and it is easy to freeze to death if you stay there for too long.

When people are cold and tired, they are too lazy to move, but the less they move, the easier it is to freeze. So many times, the squad leader kicks the soldiers up one by one.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line, especially the 150,000 troops of the Ninth Corps, were experiencing such a cruel test.

Relatively speaking, the Seventh Company is relatively good.

The soldiers quickly packed up their things and set off again.

We walked dozens of miles more.

Wu Qianli stopped at the side of the road, took out a map and looked at it, "We should be in this area now, right?"

Meisheng nodded and said, "It should be!"

But a map is just a map after all. A slight difference on the map may actually lead to a difference of several miles or even further.

Wu Qianli and his team were not familiar with the local terrain, so they were not completely sure, but based on their years of rich experience, they felt that it should not be too different.

Wu Qianli observed for a while, then said: "Continue to move forward along this valley."

"Okay~!"

Mei Sheng responded quickly.

The troops then continued to advance rapidly.

After walking for a distance, Wu Qianli ordered the troops to stop temporarily.

Wu Qianli frowned and said, "If we are not mistaken, this place should be not far from Dayu Cave."

"There should be our guard troops outside the headquarters."

Mei Sheng nodded, observed the situation around him, then took out a whistle and blew it a few times.

Soon, a response came from the mountain. After a few clear whistles, several soldiers hiding in the cover stood up.

Yu Congrong said excitedly: "It's our people, we're here?"

Mei Sheng was also very excited and quickly blew the whistle again to communicate with the friendly forces above.

After communication and confirmation of the identity of the 7th Infiltration Company, the soldiers above notified the 7th Infiltration Company to continue moving forward.

So Wu Qianli ordered his troops to continue moving forward.

Li Guotao was following the team and was very happy at the moment because they were about to arrive.

Once you arrive at Dayudong, the second task is completed and you can get another reward.

After crossing the valley and walking a few more miles, we encountered a checkpoint in front of us.

After revealing their identities, the people at the checkpoint sent a soldier to lead the soldiers of the Seventh Company to the headquarters.

After wandering around in the mountains for about twenty minutes, we finally arrived at the headquarters.

Wu Qianli led the soldiers and lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for further instructions.

At this time, a staff officer from the headquarters strode over with several soldiers.

Wu Qianli quickly raised his hand to salute and said loudly: "Report to the commander, my unit was ordered to escort 20 radio stations and four translators. They have all arrived safely. Please give your instructions."

The staff officer grabbed Wu Qianli's hand and said, "You came just in time. Thank you for your hard work!"

"Xiao Li, take the translators in first, and the rest of you move the radio in."

"Yes~!"

Then the four radio operators were led into a room next door, and a group of soldiers came over and took over the radios carried by the soldiers of the Seventh Company.

Although this escort mission encountered some unexpected events, it was still relatively smooth. At least 20 radio stations and the four translators all arrived safely.
