Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 49 Are you taking advantage of me?
Li Guotao successfully became the squad leader of the third squad, and the sky gradually darkened.

The soldiers of the Seventh Company began to eat. Due to insufficient supplies at that time, each soldier was only given a small piece of compressed biscuit.

This little bit of food is just enough for the soldiers to get by.

Li Guotao ate it all in two or three bites, grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, we will take Xinxingli tonight, and we will have everything we want."

"These foreign devils are so rich!"

"Biscuits, bread, turkey, beef, fish, sausages, as well as chocolate, coffee, beer, cola, and red wine. We can eat as much as we want."

"Haha~!"

Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter when they heard this.

Yu Congrong, who was not far away, said unhappily, "You are deliberately trying to make me jealous! My mouth is watering when I hear you say that."

Gu Cangzhou smiled and said, "If you ask me, their beef is still the best. The others are not that good."

At this time, Wu Wanli suddenly came out and said with a smile: "That chocolate is good, and the one that can blow bubbles is quite fun."

Li Guotao smiled and reminded: "What you are talking about is called chewing gum."

Yu Congrong said: "That crap is useless. It's inedible. If you chew it for too long, your cheeks will hurt."

Zhang Xiaoshan smiled and said, "I think the water with bubbles tastes better. It's sweet."

Lei Gong curled his lips and said, "What's so good about that crap? It tastes like a Chinese medicine soup."

Yu Congrong smiled and said, "The Coke tastes pretty good. That thing, it's bitter, just like the Chinese medicine soup."

"You mean coffee?"

"Yes, yes, that's coffee!"

"That stuff doesn't taste good, but it's really refreshing to drink at night."

……

At this time, Wu Qianli suddenly said loudly: "Okay, stop chatting."

"Collect your weapons and equipment in five minutes, and set off immediately to the front line."

"Tonight, we will take Xinxingli in one fell swoop!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded loudly.

It was completely dark.

Wu Qianli led the soldiers of the Seventh Company and marched along the mountain path, gradually heading towards Xinxingli.

Wu Qianli said as he walked: "I'm afraid this battle will not be easy to fight."

"The enemy is already prepared, so we can only storm, and the enemy's firepower is very strong, which we have seen before."

Mei Sheng said: "In the previous few battles, we fought relatively smoothly, mainly because we adopted the strategy of ambush and sneak attack."

"If we face off head-on like today, the enemy's advantages will be fully utilized, which is not a good thing for us."

At this time, Lei Gong suddenly said, "Okay, stop talking about these useless things."

"We in the Seventh Company have seen all kinds of storms and waves. Today's is just a small scene."

"We just need to go all out and win this battle, just like we defeated the enemies before."

Wu Qianli grinned and said, "Thunder God is right, these foreign devils are just so-so. As long as we go all out, it won't be too difficult to defeat them."

"After all, tonight, our division will concentrate all combat troops and launch an all-out attack."

"If we can't even take over a small place like Xinxing, wouldn't that be too embarrassing?"

Mei Sheng smiled and said, "Today, Li Guotao said that he would take the third squad to attack the headquarters of the Polar Bear Regiment and capture the enemy regiment commander alive."

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "This kid is quite interesting."

Meisheng nodded and said, "This kid is really good. He has made rapid progress in the past few days." Lei Gong suddenly said, "Li Guotao is really good, but I still like Wu Wanli better."

Mei Sheng leaned close to Wu Qianli's ear and lowered his voice and said, "Thunder God wants to take Wu Wanli in as his godson and take care of him in his old age."

Wu Qianli's face suddenly changed when he heard this. He turned around and glared at Lei Gong and said, "I say, Lei Gong, you are taking advantage of me."

"That's my biological brother. He recognizes you as his godfather, so what should I call you?"

Lei Gong said nonchalantly: "If you don't want to call me godfather, you can also call me uncle."

"Your uncle!"

"Haha~!"

Meisheng laughed heartily, feeling gleeful at his misfortune.

……

The team soon arrived at an open space at the foot of the mountain.

The third battalion commander Tan Ziwei and several soldiers stood on the side of the road, watching the seventh company gradually approaching.

Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng ran over quickly, stood at attention, and raised their hands to salute.

"Reporting to the battalion commander, the Seventh Company has arrived under orders, please give instructions."

Tan Ziwei also came from the Seventh Company. He was also a sharpshooter and was known as the immortal hero.

Tan Ziwei, Wu Baili and Wu Qianli were in the same group of soldiers. They were numbered 160 in the seventh company, Wu Baili was number 161 and Wu Qianli was number 162.

The three of them served in the army together and were assigned together. After going through battles time and time again, they all became the backbone of the Seventh Company.

But later, Wu Baili died in Huaihai, and Tan Ziwei was promoted and left the Seventh Company.

Now, among their group, only Wu Qianli is still in the Seventh Company.

Tan Ziwei smiled and said, "I heard that the Seventh Company has produced another amazing sharpshooter."

Wu Qianli replied: "His name is Li Guotao, and his marksmanship is indeed amazing. Pinghe is now convinced."

Tan Ziwei smiled and asked, "How do you compare to me?"

Wu Qianli looked Tan Ziwei up and down, and said with a smile: "I'm not afraid to discourage you. You may not be as good as Pinghe now. Pinghe has made rapid progress recently."

"You really don't give me any face at all!" Tan Ziwei said unhappily, "Don't forget, I'm your immediate superior."

Wu Qianli said nonchalantly: "I am just telling the truth."

"Li Guotao?"

Tan Ziwei muttered to himself, and said thoughtfully: "I have some impression of this person. He usually keeps a low profile, so how come he suddenly becomes so powerful?"

Wu Qianli pouted and shook his head, saying, "You're asking me this, how should I know?"

"According to him, it seems like he suddenly got the hang of it, and his marksmanship is getting better and better."

Mei Sheng said: "Not only that, he has made rapid progress in other aspects as well. Perhaps this is what they call "one thing leads to another."

Tan Ziwei said: "Yes! Not bad, such talents should be trained well."

Mei Sheng smiled and said, "Please rest assured, old company commander, we will definitely train him well."

Mei Sheng’s number in the Seventh Company was 135, and his actual military service length was several months earlier than Tan Ziwei’s.

However, Tan Ziwei is a few years older than Meisheng, and his progress was faster than his back then.

Tan Ziwei turned his head and looked in the direction of Xinxingli, raised his hand and pointed, and ordered: "According to the instructions of the superiors, your Seventh Company will go there first and hide and wait."

"I think the general attack is about to begin, let's go over there quickly."

"Yes!"
