Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 56: Kill Colonel McLean!

Hearing this, McLean nodded slightly and said, "In this case, this is the only way for now."

"Pass the order down. Destroy all important documents and items that are inconvenient to carry. Then retreat. Quick! We must move quickly."

"Everyone, break out and retreat towards Xiajieyu-ri!"

“Yes sir!”

An officer nearby responded quickly, turned around and ran to convey the order.

McClain then shouted, "Adjutant, prepare the car immediately and get out of this damn place."

“Yes sir!”

Although McClane had said before that he would defend Xinxingli to the death, it was just casual talk.

Now that the Volunteer Army is about to attack and his life is in danger, he can no longer care about anything else and just wants to leave here as soon as possible to save his own life.

After all, in their view, life is the most important thing.

Under McLean's order, the staff of the command began to destroy some important documents with all their efforts.

He simply threw the stacks of telegrams into the brazier and burned them.

An enemy staff officer, seeing that there was no time to burn everything, simply picked up a submachine gun and fired at the documents on the table, turning all of them into flying confetti.

"Let's go~!"

"Sir, the car is outside. Let's get out of here!"

The sound of gunfire outside was getting closer and closer. McLean could clearly hear the shouts of the volunteers. At this moment, the old Japanese didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"Let's go~!"

Colonel McLean walked out. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something. He turned back abruptly, pointed at the military flag on the wall, and shouted, "Our military flag!"

Lieutenant Bruce rushed over, took down the military flag, held it in his arms, and rushed out with McClane.

McClain warned, "Protect our flag and follow me closely."

“Yes sir!”

At this moment, several jeeps were parked outside the command center, and McLean and others walked out of the command center.

Lieutenant Colonel Hoss pointed to a jeep behind and said, "Sir, you get in this car, I'll get in the car in front and lead the way for you."

McClain nodded and said, "Let's rush out first."

At this moment, the old Japanese also saw that a large number of volunteer soldiers were rushing towards this side not far away.

It was only a few dozen meters away from their headquarters, and bullets were constantly flying towards this side.

It's obviously very dangerous here.

McClane only wanted to save his life, so he naturally had to escape from Xinxingli as soon as possible.

McClain got on the last jeep, and Lieutenant Colonel Hawes got on the front jeep. He turned his head and saw that McClain and the others were already in the car.

Lieutenant Colonel Hoss urged loudly: "Hurry! Drive and get out of here quickly."

Then Lieutenant Colonel Hawes took out his walkie-talkie and shouted, "Major Claude?"

"Colonel McLean and I will go over and meet you immediately. Your tanks will cover us as we break out. Do you understand?"

"Please rest assured, sir. Our tank troops are ready. Come over and join us immediately. We can break out with all our strength."

"In addition, the rest of the troops are also ready to break out."

At this time, the jeep had already started to move slowly.

Lieutenant Colonel Hoss put down his walkie-talkie and shouted to the driver in front: "Drive faster, go down this small road next to it, quick!"

At this moment, a grenade flew over and fell to the ground. There was a jeep in front of Lieutenant Colonel Hoss and his men.

"Boom~!"

A loud explosion sounded, and the jeep was blown directly to the ground, and several enemies in the car were all thrown out.

The two jeeps behind immediately braked and stopped.

At this time, Li Guotao rushed out from the side with several soldiers from the third squad.

Li Guotao raised his gun and pointed it at the enemy and opened fire.

Lieutenant Colonel Hoss and the three enemies in the same car all raised their guns and tried to fight back, but a burst of gunfire rang out.

Lieutenant Colonel Hoss was shot in the head and died instantly.

[Ding Dong~! Congratulations on killing an enemy lieutenant colonel. You get a bonus of +1500 points.]

A crisp system prompt sounded, and a hint of joy appeared on Li Guotao's face.

Lieutenant Colonel?

A lieutenant colonel can get so many reward points, what about a colonel?

Li Guotao was afraid that McLean, his great treasure, would be snatched away by someone else.

As soon as he had the chance, he led the soldiers of the third squad and rushed straight to the enemy's headquarters.

As a result, we saw from a distance that a group of enemy officers and soldiers rushed out of the command center and were preparing to get on the car to escape.

Li Maocai threw a grenade directly over and overturned a jeep. Li Guotao rushed over with his men without saying a word.

A volley of gunfire killed the foreigners in Colonel Hoss's car.

McClain, who was in the car behind, saw that the situation was not good and shouted loudly: "Retreat~!"

The driver immediately put the car in reverse gear and backed away.

McClain and the other three enemy soldiers in the car raised their guns and fired.

Li Guotao quickly hid behind a pile of wooden boxes nearby. When he saw the right opportunity, he quickly extended his gun and shot the enemy soldier driving the car in the head.

Then another shot blew up the head of Colonel McLean who was sitting in the back seat.

McClane fell back on the back seat with his head tilted back, his eyes wide open and his face full of disbelief. Perhaps he never dreamed that he would die in this small Xinxing.

[Ding Dong~! Congratulations on killing an enemy colonel. You get a bonus of +3000 points. ]

A crisp system prompt sounded, and Li Guotao was overjoyed. He finally got the big treasure McLean.

So many points?
Make a fortune now!
Lieutenant Bruce next to him took a look at McLean and saw that his head had been smashed and he was dead, so he turned over and jumped directly from the car.

The jeep also stopped because the driver was shot dead.

The other two enemy soldiers in the car were also shot dead by Gu Cangzhou and his men.

Only Lieutenant Bruce reacted quickly and temporarily saved his life.

At this moment, this guy was hiding behind the jeep, breathing heavily.

There was a dirt slope not far behind the car. Lieutenant Bruce took a deep breath, then rushed out quickly, took two steps at a time to the side of the slope, and then slid down the slope.

Li Guotao and Gu Cangzhou rushed up, but before they could even fire a shot, they saw a figure jumping off the slope and disappearing.

Li Guotao vaguely saw something like a silk scarf floating on the guy's body, but it was too dark and the thing flashed by so quickly that he couldn't see it clearly.

It turned out that Lieutenant Bruce was holding the military flag respectfully in both hands at that time. The battle suddenly broke out, and the guy panicked and stuffed the military flag into his arms.

But he only tucked in a corner, and when he ran, most of the flag was exposed and fluttering outside.
