Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 76 I just want everyone to go home alive!

Li Guotao killed an enemy soldier with one shot, then quickly hid in a trench and ran towards another position with his back crouched.

The enemy was not stupid either. The machine gunners on the position were sniped one after another, and the enemy reacted quickly.

"There's a sniper on the other side!"

At this time, the enemy also discovered that the volunteers had no intention of continuing the attack. After several people were killed, the machine gunner did not dare to continue firing.

An enemy officer shouted, "Mortars, fire~!"

"Blast those bastards to death~!"

"Send snipers here immediately and kill them!"

“Yes sir!”

These foreign devils have always been rich and powerful, and have no idea what it means to save ammunition.

Soon, rumbling sounds were heard from the enemy's mortar positions.

"Chirp chirp chirp~!"

The shells whistled loudly, quickly cutting through the night sky and flying straight towards the Seventh Company's position.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

Violent explosions sounded one after another, and pieces of fire shot into the sky.

Wu Qianli hid in a safe place and shouted loudly: "Hide, be careful to avoid the artillery!"

We have to thank the enemy troops for building complete defensive fortifications here, and the anti-gun holes are also very solid.

The soldiers all crawled into the anti-artillery holes. Although the mortar fire was fierce, its power was limited after all, and it posed no threat to these anti-artillery holes.

Li Guotao hid in an anti-artillery cave and skillfully loaded the chamber of his gun with bullets. He looked up and saw Wu Wanli next to him, who was staring at him while eating the compressed biscuits he had just seized.

Seeing Li Guotao looking at him, Wu Wanli took out a biscuit and handed it to Li Guotao.

Li Guotao didn't hesitate to take it and asked with a smile, "Are there twenty?"

Before, this kid Wu Wanli asked Yu Congrong how many enemies he had to kill to be considered a hero.

Yu Congrong told Wu Wanli that one must kill at least twenty enemies to be considered a hero.

So when he participated in the battle before, this kid always kept track of how many enemies he had killed.

I have to say that Wu Wanli is a natural warrior and has a strong ability to adapt to the battlefield.

Not only is he a rare sharpshooter, but under the guidance of Li Guotao, his shooting skills have also improved rapidly.

Of course, compared with Li Guotao, he is still far behind.

However, Wu Wanli's marksmanship is already quite good among the new recruits.

After all, Wu Wanli has been in the army for a relatively short time and has not undergone too much training, so it is very rare for him to have such a level.

Wu Wanli smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter. I just want everyone to be able to return home alive."

During this period, after several brutal battles, the Seventh Company suffered heavy casualties. Having witnessed many life and death separations, Wu Wanli has grown a lot.

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Not bad! The young comrade has grown up."

Wu Wanli couldn't help but roll his eyes and said unhappily, "You are only one year older than me, why do you speak like those old guys?"

"Haha~!"

Li Guotao laughed and said, "I have been in the army for much longer than you."

Wu Wanli said: "One more fart, just one more year than me, don't think I don't know."

Li Guotao smiled and said, "Then I am better than you."

Wu Wanli rarely refuted, nodded and said: "I admit this."

This guy usually looks like he is not convinced by anyone, so it is rare for him to say this. It seems that he is convinced by Li Guotao. Li Guotao smiled and said, "But you are better at throwing bombs than me, so you should give full play to your advantages."

When Wu Wanli heard this, he immediately smiled and said proudly, "That's right! You haven't seen me skipping stones on the water yet! That's amazing."

"is it?"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "I'd like to see it if I get a chance."

After a while, the enemy's artillery fire finally stopped.

Although these foreign devils were wealthy and had artillery shells for free, their quantity was limited after all.

Seeing that the volunteer army on the opposite side did not make any movement, they stopped shelling after a while.

However, at this moment, the enemy was still on the defensive and did not launch a counterattack.

After the artillery fire stopped, the soldiers carefully crawled out of the anti-artillery hole.

Wu Qianli lay in a trench and carefully observed the situation on the opposite side.

At this time, Lei Gong came over and said, "The enemy's artillery attack just now has exposed all their mortar positions. Our artillery has been set up. Let's destroy their mortar positions first."

"Ok!"

Wu Qianli nodded slightly and asked, "Are there enough shells?"

"Hehe~!"

Lei Gong chuckled and said, "The foreign devils are generous. We just seized a batch of shells. Now we have plenty of ammunition."

Li Guotao, who was not far away, just smiled when he heard this.

As long as Li Guotao is around, the Seventh Company will never lack weapons and ammunition.

During the battle, Li Guotao would also exchange some ammunition at the appropriate time, exchanging whatever was needed.

Although you have captured the enemy's position and seized a lot of spoils, the spoils may not be what you need.

Li Guotao knew the general situation of the troops, and he knew how to replenish whatever was needed. By mixing it with the spoils of war, it would not arouse suspicion, so now the Seventh Company really had everything it needed.

Wu Qianli nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, but be careful about everything."

Lei Gong came to the artillery position nearby and carefully checked each mortar and all the gunners were in place.

Lei Gong ordered in a cold voice: "Five rapid shots, fire~!"

"Dong dong dong~!"

A dull gunshot rang out, and five mortars fired at the same time. Amid the piercing whistling sound, the shells quickly cut through the night sky and flew straight towards the enemy position.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

There was a loud explosion, and the shells landed accurately on the enemy's mortar position. One mortar after another was destroyed by artillery fire, and the enemy soldiers on the position were also killed or wounded.

Wu Qianli quickly ordered: "Everyone hide in the anti-gun cave, pay attention to safety."

The enemy's reaction speed is also very fast. In order to avoid retaliation from the enemy, hiding in advance is the wisest choice.

The soldiers once again retreated into the anti-artillery holes, leaving only a few observers scattered around the positions. Their positions were relatively safe and not far from the anti-artillery holes, so they could hide in them at any time.

After Lei Gong and his men fired five rapid shots, they all picked up their cannons and went into the anti-artillery cave not far away.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the enemy's revenge to come.

Shells fell on the battlefield one after another, and violent explosions suddenly became one after another.

The defensive position of the Seventh Company was once again engulfed by enemy artillery fire.

Using similar methods, Lei Gong and his men successively destroyed several enemy firepower points on the opposite side. They followed the principle of hiding after attacking, and basically did not cause any casualties, but gained a considerable advantage.
