After taking a look at the system panel, Li Guotao couldn't help but sigh.

Still too weak!
Li Guotao added all the skill points he gained in the past few days to rifle shooting.

Rifle shooting level 6 has already surpassed the level of most soldiers in the Seventh Company, at least that's what Li Guotao himself thinks.

But facing this extremely cruel war, this strength is still too weak.

Now Li Guotao is eager to improve his strength quickly.

The development of events was almost the same as the history that Li Guotao knew.

The Seventh Company quickly moved northward along with the main force, with almost no stops along the way. It could be said that they traveled day and night. However, the speed of trains in that era was still relatively slow, and with so many troops moving north, they needed to be dispatched and arranged in a unified manner, which naturally wasted some time.

After the Incheon landing, the North Korean army was defeated. The enemy army was advancing with great momentum and the vanguard troops were approaching the Yalu River.

However, the first battle had already ended at this time. In the Yunshan area, the arrogant enemy forces were hit head-on by our volunteer army.

Although our army won a great victory in this battle, the scale was small after all, and the number of enemies destroyed was relatively limited. It only temporarily curbed the enemy's offensive.

Although the arrogant Mike already knew that the Volunteer Army had joined the war, he still insisted on his own speculation, naively thinking that the Volunteer Army had at most sent a few divisions to participate in the war.

He also predicted that we would not intervene in this war on a large scale, because in his opinion, our country simply did not have the strength to compete with them.

Sending a small number of troops to participate in the battle was just to warn them and make them restrain themselves and not break through the Yalu River.

At this moment, the enemy had no plan to break through the Yalu River and invade our country.

They just want to eliminate the remnants of the North Korean army and completely occupy the Korean Peninsula.

Therefore, Mike immediately mobilized his troops and launched a new round of attacks. The two armies advanced side by side, forming a pincer attack, preparing to occupy the northern region in one fell swoop.

Our great Volunteer Army Commander, based on the current situation, also made a strategy of luring the enemy deep into our territory, preparing to take the opportunity to eliminate more of the enemy's active forces.

Therefore, after winning the first battle, the Volunteer Army did not pursue the victory, but pretended to retreat.

As a result, the arrogant Mike became more convinced of his judgment and ordered the two enemy forces to intensify their offensive and try to end the battle before Thanksgiving.

He never dreamed that this move would fall into our army's trap.

However, the front line was in crisis, and the headquarters issued repeated strict orders, requiring the 9th Corps to rush to the battlefield day and night and rush to the Changjin Lake area to block the enemy forces in the east and strive to encircle and annihilate the main force of the enemy forces in the east in the Changjin Lake area.

Due to time constraints, the Northeast Military Region was unable to provide sufficient material support to the Ninth Corps.

The limited supplies were given to the troops in the front.

As a result, the troops of the Seventh Company did not receive any supplies of cotton clothes and quilts along the way.

The weather was getting colder, and the Changjin Lake area where they were about to go was a plateau area with even lower temperatures.

Looking at the only 400 points, Li Guotao also felt powerless.

They were about to arrive at Ji'an Station, and Li Guotao decided to exchange all the points for cotton-padded clothes and quilts.

Although it’s not much, but at least it can save a group of people.

This is the limit of what Li Guotao can do now. As for after entering North Korea, Li Guotao will also try his best to exchange more cotton clothes and quilts.

……

Inside the company headquarters, Wu Qianli had a worried look on his face and smoked silently.

Mei Sheng also had a gloomy expression, and said with a worried look: "It is said that the Wolf Forest Mountains are a plateau with an average altitude of more than 2,000 meters. It is colder than the plains. In winter, the lowest temperature can reach more than 30 degrees below zero, or even lower!"

Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng are both from the south and have no personal experience of this kind of extreme cold.

Wu Qianli asked, "When we were fighting in Shandong, what was the lowest temperature in winter?"

Mei Sheng replied: "Usually it's about minus ten degrees Celsius, and the lowest is about minus twenty degrees Celsius! Unless there is extremely bad weather." Wu Qianli frowned even deeper.

Mei Sheng said: "Our superiors asked us to replenish cotton-padded clothes and quilts as much as possible along the way."

"We will stop at Ji'an Station ahead. This is the last station where we can get replenishment."

"If you don't have cotton clothes and quilts yet, you can only wait until the baggage troops deliver them after entering North Korea."

Wu Qianli took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "After I get to the station, I will immediately go to the stationmaster to see if I can get some more cotton clothes, even if it's just part of it!"

Mei Sheng nodded slightly, and then said: "The regiment headquarters notified us to arrive at Ji'an Station, contact the station logistics department, and accept the mission."

"What mission?"

Mei Sheng shook his head and said, "It's not clear yet, it should be a particularly important task."

Wu Qianli nodded and said, "Then let's split up. I'll go get the cotton clothes, and you go accept the mission."

"it is good!"

……

"Woooo..."

A shrill whistle sounded and the train slowly pulled into Ji'an Station.

With a "whoosh", the car door opened, and the dazzling sunlight shone into the car. Everyone couldn't help but close their eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a biting cold wind whistled into the carriage, and many soldiers couldn't help shivering.

Wu Qianli jumped out of the car first, rubbed his hands, and cursed: "It's so damn cold!"

Meisheng also jumped down. The two looked at each other and Meisheng quickly left.

Wu Qianli shouted loudly: "Everyone can get off the car and move around, but don't go too far."

"Yu Congrong, Pinghe, you guys follow me!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded loudly.

Li Guotao also pulled Wu Wanli, Zhang Xiaoshan and others to follow.

Wu Wanli, the stubborn boy, didn't want to go at first, so Li Guotao said unhappily, "If you don't want to be frozen into an ice stick, come with us to move the cotton clothes."

Although Wu Wanli was young and energetic, it was too cold that day and he could only follow obediently.

The entire station was packed with people, and soldiers in military uniforms were everywhere.

"Our team is heading towards the sun,
Stepping on the land of the motherland,
Carrying the hope of the nation,
We are an unbeatable force.

We are the children of workers and peasants.

We are the people's armed forces.

Never fear, never surrender, fight bravely,

……

Listen! The wind is whistling and the bugle is blowing,
Listen! The revolutionary songs are so loud!
……

forward! forward!
Our team faces the sun,

Towards the final victory!

......"

The loud military songs resounded throughout the entire station, deafening and magnificent.

Listening to this inspiring military song, the weather didn't seem so cold anymore, and my blood seemed to be burning.

Wu Qianli asked the station staff and soon found the stationmaster.

The stationmaster was a one-armed veteran. Looking at Wu Qianli and the others who were huddled up in the cold, he couldn't help but say, "What's the difference between you and a piece of torn sack?"

"This is Northeast China! It's even colder over there!"

"Why didn't you change into cotton clothes in Shenyang?"

Wu Qianli said helplessly: "It's not enough! Didn't I come to see you?"

"Old squad leader, if you still have cotton clothes, please give us some."

The stationmaster said, "Follow me!"

Wu Qianli was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly called on everyone behind him to follow.
