Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 7 Urgent mission!
As the stationmaster walked along, he said, "If we can wait two more days, those tens of thousands of cotton suits will arrive."

"What a shame! The military situation is urgent, and it's all caused by those damn foreign devils."

As the stationmaster spoke, he took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, then he felt around for a match, but it was somewhat inconvenient to use one hand.

Wu Qianli quickly took the match and lit the cigarette for the stationmaster. Then he smiled and gestured with the match in his hand towards the stationmaster.

After getting the stationmaster's permission, he put the matches in his pocket with a smile.

At this time, the group came to an open space nearby.

The open space was filled with various supplies, some of which were cotton clothes and quilts that the Ninth Corps urgently needed.

The stationmaster explained: "The damn foreign devils blew up the warehouse, and there are too many supplies, so we can only pile them here temporarily."

Li Guotao observed the surrounding situation and found that supplies were piled up like mountains and there was some chaos, which gave him an opportunity.

So Li Guotao exchanged all 400 points for cotton clothes and quilts without hesitation, and took them out from the system warehouse and placed them in a corner nearby.

Although there were people coming and going at the scene, the situation was so chaotic that no one noticed that there were hundreds of extra cotton-padded clothes and quilts here.

During this period, the troops heading to the front line from Ji'an Station were from the Ninth Corps, so this batch of cotton clothes and quilts would definitely be supplied to the Ninth Corps.

Although the number is small, it can at least help hundreds of people resist the severe cold.

Wu Qianli's fiery gaze fell on the pile of cotton clothes and asked, "Old squad leader, can we move it?"

The stationmaster said, "Hurry up! I know you won't be here long."

"Okay~!"

Wu Qianli shouted quickly, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and get your cotton clothes into the car."

"Buzz..."

At this time, the sound of a motor was heard in the air.

Someone in the distance shouted, "American planes!"

Everyone looked up and saw a plane flying from a distance and circling over the station.

The stationmaster frowned and said, "It's a reconnaissance plane!"

Wu Qianli took a look and suddenly his face changed drastically. He shouted loudly: "Everyone, get on the bus! Quick~!"

"Cotton coat~! Hold the cotton coat."

Li Guotao was not polite either. He took Wu Wanli and others and ran away, each carrying two large bundles of cotton clothes.

Yu Congrong and others took as much as they could and ran towards the train holding their cotton coats.

The stationmaster threw the cigarette butt away, crushed it with his foot, waved his one arm and shouted, "Put aside the work at hand and deliver the cotton clothes to the car."

The stationmaster was from Northeast China, so he was naturally aware of the seriousness of the problem. If these soldiers from the Ninth Corps arrived at Changjin Lake wearing these thin cotton clothes, they would freeze to death.

The military situation is urgent now, and the troops are rushing to the front line day and night. They are also short of supplies. He can only help the Ninth Corps to the best of his ability and try to give them more cotton clothes.

After hearing the stationmaster's call, the people at the scene immediately put down their work and hurriedly ran towards the train with their cotton coats in their arms.

"Woooo..."

The shrill whistle sounded and the train was about to start.

The soldiers returned to the carriages one after another, and Wu Qianli and the others hurriedly jumped onto the train holding their cotton coats.

The train started slowly.

The stationmaster, along with a group of people, hurriedly caught up with the train, carrying bundles of cotton clothes. Before the train left the platform, they threw bundles of cotton clothes into the carriage.

At this moment, for the soldiers of the Ninth Corps, these cotton coats are no longer ordinary cotton coats, but the last guarantee to help them resist the severe cold.

The train had already started moving. After the station staff threw the cotton coats in their hands onto the train, it was too late for them to go back to get the coats. They could only quickly take off their coats and trousers and throw them onto the slowly moving train.

Only after the train left the platform did these people wave goodbye to the soldiers on the train reluctantly, while silently praying in their hearts that they would all return triumphantly.

As the train moved farther and farther away, the one-armed stationmaster shouted, "Don't stand here anymore. Move the supplies to a safe place and evacuate as many people as possible to prevent enemy bombing."

"Also, if there are any military vehicles from the Ninth Corps passing by, make sure to get the cotton clothes onto the vehicles as quickly as possible." "Yes!"

"But there aren't many cotton clothes left at the station."

The one-armed stationmaster couldn't help but frown and said, "I will urge my superiors to ship the cotton clothes over as soon as possible."

"We should also try our best to find ways to collect some cotton clothes and quilts from nearby. Even if we have to endure the cold, we should try our best to send them more cotton clothes."

"It doesn't matter if we freeze to death, but these soldiers who are about to go to the front line must not freeze to death."

"Yes!"

……

The car door is closed.

Wu Qianli shouted loudly: "Everyone change clothes. If they are not enough, wear two layers of thin cotton clothes."

"If there are any remaining thin cotton clothes, send them to the brother troops immediately."

"Yes!"

The weather was so cold that the soldiers, who were wearing thin cotton coats, were all curled up in fear. After hearing the order, they immediately began to change their clothes.

The Seventh Company was relatively lucky as all the soldiers had already changed into thick cotton clothes. Wu Qianli asked Yu Congrong to send all the thin cotton clothes that the soldiers had taken off to the regiment headquarters to support the brother units.

At this time, Wu Wanli was seen wrapping a bright red towel around his neck.

"Where did it come from?"

"A little girl at the station just threw it up."

"This color is too bright. We'll be sitting ducks on the battlefield."

"I won't wear it when I get there."

Wu Qianli nodded slightly and said nothing more. At this time, he noticed that there were suddenly a few unfamiliar faces in the carriage.

Mei Sheng came over and said, "The superiors have instructed us to transport 20 radio stations to the headquarters, and four more translators will accompany them."

Wu Qianli took a look at the neatly placed radios next to him and said, "It seems that the front line urgently needs radios. We must protect the safety of the radios and the translators."

"Do not worry!"

Wu Qianli smiled and nodded at several telegraph operators as a greeting.

"Instructor, please make some arrangements for the translators. If there is really no room, we can squeeze in."

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements!"

Wu Qianli peeked outside through the crack in the door and said, "After leaving Ji'an Station, we will soon cross the river!"

"Yes! Once we cross the Yalu River, we will be out of the country!"

At this time, Li Guotao also changed into a thick cotton coat and immediately felt a lot warmer.

However, even if you put on this cotton coat, when you arrive in the Changjin Lake area, the temperature will be over 40 degrees below zero and you will be frozen like a grandson. But as long as you grit your teeth, you can still get through it.

However, Li Guotao knew that there were still many troops that did not have enough thick cotton clothes.

Once entering North Korea, logistical support will also be a huge problem.

The enemy's bombing was very intense, with planes covering the sky and dropping bombs like they were free, making it difficult to transport subsequent supplies to the front line in time.

Therefore, Li Guotao still has to use the system to try to save as many people as possible.

At this time, the train had already entered the railway bridge.

After crossing the river, the first mission is completed.

I hope the system can give more system rewards!
