Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 62 Ups and downs!

As they were talking, Captain Yang from the artillery battalion came to the artillery position with a group of soldiers. When he saw the cannons, his eyes lit up.

Battalion Commander Yang was more welcoming than meeting his wife. He ran excitedly to a cannon, touched the gun body with his hand, and danced with excitement.

"Great~!"

"With these cannons, I can be an artilleryman again."

As soon as they entered North Korea, all the artillery battalion's cannons were blown up. Without the cannons, the combat effectiveness of the more than 200 people in their artillery battalion was not as good as that of an ordinary infantry company.

In the previous two battles, they basically played supporting roles.

Although he also wanted to take his men to seize the cannon himself, as a soldier, he had to obey orders and follow arrangements.

After all, it is very difficult to train a group of excellent artillerymen.

The Ninth Corps had rested and trained in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas for about a year. After such a long period of training, all the people in the artillery battalion had grown into experienced artillerymen.

The superiors still attach great importance to these technical arms, although they are promised to join the battle together with the infantry.

But they were arranged to charge last, and this battle went very smoothly, and their artillery battalion basically did not experience any decent battle.

Now that they have these cannons, they can go back to their old business.

Battalion Commander Yang and his soldiers were naturally excited as they could finally show off their skills.

Captain Yang shouted excitedly: "Artillery battalion, take over the artillery position immediately, turn the guns, and aim at the enemy retreating southward."

"Hurry~!"

Following the order from Battalion Commander Yang, the soldiers of the artillery battalion quickly rushed to the artillery positions and began to adjust the muzzles.

Wu Qianli walked up to Captain Yang and said with a smile, "You are not polite at all."

Captain Yang said with a smile: "We are all family, why should we be polite? Wouldn't that be outsiders?"

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "You didn't have this attitude when you quarreled with us before!"

"What did you say about us at the beginning?"

Captain Yang quickly stopped Wu Qianli and said with a smile: "Is it okay if I am wrong?"

"Our artillery battalion is supported by your Seventh Company! You are my godfathers, that's all right!"

"Haha~!"

Wu Qianli laughed and said, "That's right!"

"Now you have a good weapon. In the next battle, don't forget to give Godfather a few more rounds of fire."

Captain Yang readily agreed: "No big deal! It's nothing."

So many heavy artillery pieces were seized at once, and they were all good ones. Captain Yang was very happy, and he felt that Wu Qianli was closer to him than his own father. Even if he let Wu Qianli take advantage of him verbally, he would accept it!

After all, it's no big deal to suffer a verbal loss, it won't cost you anything, but these cannons are real.

Just as he finished speaking, a loud explosion was heard in the distance.

Everyone's face changed slightly and they all turned their heads to look into the distance.

At this time, the enemy's bomber groups began to bomb, and we watched the artillery fire rising in the distance.

Wu Qianli frowned and said, "It's the enemy's bomber group!"

"Looking at this situation, there should be quite a few enemy planes."

"Everyone, disperse immediately~!"

"Hurry~!"

Following Wu Qianli's order, the soldiers of the Seventh Company immediately dispersed and began to look for a safe place to hide.

Although the place where the enemy planes are bombing is still some distance away from here.

But the plane is going very fast and the bomb may fall here at any time.

Staying here now is tantamount to waiting for death. Seeing that Captain Yang was still standing there in a daze, Wu Qianli pulled Captain Yang.

"Old Yang, what the hell are you staring at?"

"What are you doing here? Waiting to die?"

"Hurry up and go~!"

Wu Qianli said this and took Captain Yang away.

Captain Yang was in deep sorrow, crying, "I just got the cannon, and it's not even warm enough yet!"

"It's important to save your life!"

"Let's go~!"

Although Captain Yang felt distressed, he was helpless. Although these cannons were good things, they were too heavy. Each cannon weighed several tons and was not easy to move.

And the enemy's bombs may fall at any time.

Battalion Commander Yang gritted his teeth and shouted, "Artillery battalion, retreat immediately, spread out and hide~!"

"Hurry~!"

Following an order from Captain Yang, the soldiers of the artillery battalion reluctantly withdrew from their positions.

The entire Xinxingli area was in chaos, and various troops were looking for safe places to hide and wait.

However, the enemy's bomber group only bombed the area south of Xinxingli, and returned after dropping the bombs.

By the time the enemy discovered that they had mistakenly bombed friendly forces, it was too late. All the bombs had been dropped and could not be retrieved.

So the enemy planes had no choice but to return.

Captain Yang, Wu Qianli and others hid at the foot of a secluded mountain and waited for a long time. When there was no more sound of planes in the sky, they walked out cautiously.

“Is this the end?”

Wu Qianli looked up at the sky, then glanced to the south, where the fire caused by the bombing was still burning, lighting half the sky red.

Wu Qianli nodded and said, "It's been so long, and the plane hasn't come back. It should have returned."

"Great~!"

"My cannon is saved!"

Battalion Commander Yang jumped happily towards the artillery position.

During this period, Captain Yang's mood was like a roller coaster, with ups and downs. Fortunately, his cannons were not destroyed in the end.

At this moment, Captain Yang looked as happy as a child who had just received New Year's money.

Wu Qianli looked at Captain Yang's back, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

At this time, Meisheng came over and said, "It's really strange. The enemy's bomber group seems to have bombed the retreating enemy troops."

Wu Qianli nodded slightly and said, "I saw it too, I don't know what happened."

"It was probably because it was dark and the enemy planes couldn't see the ground clearly, which led to this mistake."

Meisheng nodded and said, "It was probably a mistake."

Mei Sheng really couldn't think of any other more reasonable explanation.

At this moment, Li Guotao suddenly ran back, and when he saw Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng, he ran up to them excitedly as if he had met his relatives.

Wu Qianli saw Li Guotao and asked, "Where did you go?"

Li Guotao raised his hand and pointed to the distance, panting and saying, "There is a ravine about two miles away in the southeast direction. There are several houses in the woods. A group of enemies were stationed there before, but they have withdrawn now."

"It's full of enemy weapons, equipment and supplies. We're going to make a fortune this time."

"Hurry up and send someone to follow me. We can't let anyone else take away the credit."
