Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 72: Poaching from the Seventh Company!

Li Guotao led the soldiers of the third squad as the spearhead squad to open the way in front. After climbing over a mountain, they saw a team passing by on the road below the mountain.

Gu Cangzhou became alert immediately when he saw jeeps and some trucks in the team.

“It must be the enemy!”

Li Guotao waved his hand and said, "What are you doing? Put your guns down quickly. This is one of us."

"Don't you think about it? We have occupied the surrounding area. Our people are everywhere, and they are all rushing to move towards Xiajieyuli."

Gu Cangzhou said: "It's too dark, I can't see clearly at all."

Li Guotao pointed at the cars at the foot of the mountain and said, "Do you see those trucks? All of them have their lights off!"

"They must be our own people! If they were enemies, would they not even dare to turn on the headlights?"

Gu Cangzhou smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, I was a little too nervous."

Li Guotao observed the terrain and said, "According to the marching route ordered by the company commander, we will go down and take a section of the road. This should save some time."

"Get off the mountain!"

Li Guotao waved his hand and led the soldiers down the mountain, onto the road, and followed the marching team, heading north.

Lin Yi approached a truck and asked loudly, "Which part?"

"We are from the artillery battalion! Which unit are you from?"

"From the Seventh Company!"

Li Guotao casually asked: "What's in the car?"

"Cannonballs!"

Li Guotao didn't continue talking nonsense and continued to move forward with his men. Because there were too many people on the road, the trucks could not move fast at all.

Soon the car in front suddenly stopped. As Li Guotao and his team walked along, they indeed saw that many cars were towing heavy artillery.

Li Guotao said casually: "The foreign devils are really generous. They gave us all the weapons and equipment of a heavy artillery battalion."

Gu Cangzhou smiled and said, "We were the ones who took down their artillery positions! Those foreign devils had already fled, and they didn't take their artillery, shells, or any other equipment with them."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Now, the artillery camp is back on its feet."

After walking forward for a while, Li Guotao finally understood why the convoy stopped.

Because the road was slippery, a truck in front slid into a pothole on the side of the road, and a group of soldiers were there helping to push the truck.

Li Guotao said: "Everyone go over and help!"

Several soldiers rushed up immediately, and together with a group of people from the artillery battalion, they finally pushed the car up after great efforts.

Captain Yang panted and said, "Fuck, I finally got up."

"keep going!"

"Yes!"

Captain Yang said this as he took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit a match, and was about to light the cigarette.

Li Guotao shouted: "Don't light the fire!"

Captain Yang suddenly reacted and quickly threw the match into the snow. He put the cigarette to his ear, looked up and saw that Li Guotao looked unfamiliar.

"Which part?"

Li Guotao replied: "From the Seventh Company!"

"Wu Qianli's Seventh Company?"

"Correct!"

Captain Yang looked at Li Guotao and said casually, "You look a little unfamiliar!"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "There are so many people in our Seventh Company, Captain Yang may not know them all."

"That's true!"

Captain Yang nodded and asked, "Where is your company commander?"

Li Guotao pointed to the back and said, "They are at the back and will be here soon." Captain Yang said thoughtfully, "Your Seventh Company is really full of talented people!"

"I heard there's another Li Guotao, he's pretty awesome! He's made a great contribution this time, it's a great honor for you, the captain of the Seventh Company."

"I don't know this Li Guotao either. I'd like to meet him if I have a chance."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "You have already seen it."

Captain Yang was slightly stunned and obviously did not react.

Li Guotao introduced himself: "I am Li Guotao."

Captain Yang suddenly realized, "So it's you, kid!"

"Not bad~!"

Before this, Li Guotao was a nobody in the Seventh Company, so Captain Yang naturally didn’t know him.

At this time, a truck passed by, towing a cannon behind it.

Captain Yang said with a smug look on his face: "This is what a man should do. How about it? Are you interested in developing in our artillery battalion?"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "This thing is really powerful, but if it weren't for our Seventh Company, would you be able to get so many big guys?"

Captain Yang was choked and speechless. He said angrily, "Go away! You guys in the Seventh Company are all the same. You've all been corrupted by that kid Wu Qianli. You all speak in the same tone!"

"You really think that our artillery battalion is yours. If the division commander hadn't asked us to make the final charge and capture the enemy's artillery position, would it have been your turn?"

Li Guotao chuckled and said, "The enemy has night planes. Even the slightest spark could be discovered by them."

"You better be careful. Don't let such a good gun get blown up by enemy planes again."

Captain Yang said, "I know. Otherwise, how could we not even turn on the lights? This broken road is so difficult to walk on. If we hadn't turned on the lights, we wouldn't have slipped into the ditch."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Be careful! To capture Jieyuli, we still have to rely on the artillery support of Captain Yang!"

Captain Yang smiled and said, "That sounds like human language. Don't worry, the foreign devils are generous and have plenty of shells. You can make as many as you want."

"gone!"

Li Guotao didn't say much and continued to move forward with his men.

While they were pushing the cart, Wu Qianli and the soldiers of the Seventh Company had caught up with them.

Captain Yang looked at Li Guotao's departing back, then turned and got on a jeep on the open space on the side of the road.

Just as I was about to leave, someone patted my shoulder.

When he turned around, he saw Wu Qianli staring at him.

"Old Yang, you are so dishonest!"

"I heard it from a distance. Are you trying to poach our people?"

"Hehe~!"

Captain Yang chuckled and said, "I think that young comrade is pretty good, I was just joking with him."

"I can steal anyone's girlfriend, but I can't steal your girlfriend!"

"That's pretty much it!"

As Wu Qianli spoke, he took away the cigarette that was stuck on Captain Yang's ear.

"Hey~! I don't have many left!"

"Why would you smoke when you have a cannon? Just smoke that thing. It's very strong and has a lot of smoke."

"Fuck you, why don't you draw the grenade!"

Captain Yang cursed angrily.

Wu Qianli turned around and walked away, raised his hand and waved, saying casually: "When we take down Jieyuli, please help us bombard the direction of the 7th Company's attack with two more rounds, please!"

Captain Yang readily agreed: "Don't worry! But you have to bring me more shells."

Wu Qianli turned around, without stopping, and walked backwards while saying, "No problem, we have the Seventh Company to support you, and we guarantee that you will be fat and plump."
