Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 88 Blow up the Watergate Bridge!

As a veteran who has experienced many battles, Captain Guo has seen all kinds of storms and has a very strong psychological quality.

Previously, some volunteer soldiers disguised themselves as puppet troops to conduct reconnaissance, and some soldiers even shook hands and greeted the American soldiers in a friendly manner, which shows their good psychological quality.

Captain Guo was not nervous at all when facing the American soldiers, but he was surprised that the Americans in front of him could speak Japanese.

He naturally didn't know that the guy in front of him had been stationed in Wa for several years and had a little moose from Wa at home, so he could naturally speak Wa fluently.

The reason why Captain Guo knew that he was speaking Japanese was because he understood it. As an old Eighth Route Army soldier, Captain Guo had also learned some Japanese.

When Captain Guo saw the American sergeant's face change, he quickly said in Japanese: "We are from the Third Division, transporting the wounded to retreat southward."

When the American sergeant heard this, his expression eased a little and he said, "Why is it so late?"

Captain Guo said: "We can't help it. The enemy is chasing us closely. We are not like you, we have planes to transport the wounded."

"We have no choice but to travel overnight. Some of the seriously injured soldiers are almost unable to hold on and need to be transported to the rear as soon as possible."

"Please let us go! Please."

Now that the U.S. military can’t even transport its own wounded, it’s naturally impossible for it to help the puppet army transport their wounded.

The American sergeant said: "You guys are running so fast, I don't think you need a plane to transport the wounded."

Captain Guo explained: "It's not that we run fast, it's that the enemy is too strong and we can't defeat them at all."

"Okay~!"

The American sergeant waved his hand and said, "Go ahead!"

The American soldiers nearby immediately removed the roadblock.

Captain Guo breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you! You've worked hard."

Then he waved his hand and walked towards the Watergate Bridge with his soldiers.

At this time, the American sergeant suddenly said: "You don't speak Japanese very fluently!"

Captain Guo explained with a smile: "I haven't spoken it for a few years, so I'm not familiar with it."

This is true. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, there was indeed no chance to speak Japanese.

However, after the defeat of Japan, South Korea stopped speaking Japanese in order to decolonize itself.

The American sergeant said proudly: "I speak Japanese very well because I have a very obedient Japanese elk at home in Sasebo."

Captain Guo said with a smile: "It seems that you are living very comfortably over there!"

"Of course!"

The American sergeant said with some nostalgia: "Compared to this hellhole, that place is heaven. I just hope this war will end as soon as possible so that I can go back to Sasebo and continue to enjoy myself."

Captain Guo smiled and said, "You will definitely get what you want."

But I thought to myself: It's impossible to go back to Sasebo. I will send you to the real heaven later and let you enjoy it.

Soon, the soldier in front successfully reached the Watergate Bridge.

Captain Guo turned his head and saw that the soldiers in front of him had already boarded the bridge. A smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly extended a hand to the American sergeant.

Out of courtesy, the American sergeant also extended his hand and shook hands with Captain Guo.

Captain Guo smiled and said, "Goodbye!"

"goodbye!"

The American sergeant smiled and nodded, and was about to pull his hand back when Captain Guo suddenly pulled it hard.

The American sergeant was caught off guard and was pulled towards Captain Guo.

At this time, Captain Guo used his other hand, holding a dagger, to stab the sergeant's chest.

The American sergeant groaned as his heart was pierced by a knife and he died on the spot.

At the same time, the platoon leader next to him immediately shouted loudly: "Do it!"

He raised his submachine gun, pointed it at several nearby American soldiers, and pulled the trigger.

Intensive gunfire rang out, and the American soldiers were shot to death before they could react.

At the same time, several crisp gunshots were heard, and all the searchlights on the Watergate Bridge were shot out by sharpshooters hiding in the dark.

Dozens of soldiers led by Captain Guo all took action, and soon most of the enemies on the north side of the bridge were wiped out.

Tan Zihe, another soldier who was ambushing under the bridge, also took action quickly.

Two rockets whizzed toward the hillside north of the bridge.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

A violent explosion sounded, and the two bunkers on the hillside were completely destroyed.

The enemy soldiers at another machine gun position were also shot into pieces by the fierce shooting of the soldiers.

The battle broke out in the north of the bridge, and a platoon of soldiers ambushed in the south of the bridge also rushed out and fired fiercely at the enemy positions.

Mortar shells flew towards the enemy camp one after another, and violent explosions were heard everywhere.

At the same time, the bugler blew the charge horn.

The soldiers on the south side of the bridge shouted loudly, but they only shouted from a distance and fired at the enemy positions on the south side of the bridge, but did not actually rush up.

The enemy troops who were suddenly attacked were thrown into chaos. They rushed out of the camp and rushed to the position in a panic, ready to resist.

At this time, the blasting team, which had already been on the bridge, had quickly placed dozens of kilograms of explosives on the bridge deck.

Tan Ziwei shouted loudly: "Hurry up and blow up the bridge!"

After the blasting team placed the explosives, they immediately ignited the fuse and shouted, "Retreat!"

"It's going to explode!"

Tan Zihe, the captain of the company, Guo, immediately led the soldiers to evacuate the Watergate Bridge and ran down the mountain north of the bridge.

"Boom~!"

There was a loud explosion, a burst of flames shot up into the sky, and the earth shook suddenly.

The concrete bridge deck was blown into pieces.

Tan Ziwei hid behind a big rock and observed the situation. After the smoke gradually dissipated, he saw a huge gap blown open on the bridge deck.

"Hey! Done!"

Tan Ziwei chuckled and was very excited.

Once this gap is blown open, enemy vehicles will be unable to pass through the Watergate Bridge.

Tan Ziwei estimated that it would not be easy for the enemy to repair the Watergate Bridge.

Mission accomplished.

Tan Ziwei blew the Osprey whistle, notifying the troops to retreat.

The troops south of the bridge also quickly withdrew from the battle and did not engage in entanglement with the enemy.

Just as Tan Ziwei said, their mission was to blow up the bridge, so there was no need to fight the enemy and sacrifice themselves in vain.

The Volunteer Army successfully blew up the Watergate Bridge for the first time, creating a huge hole in the bridge deck.

Tan Ziwei thought the mission had been accomplished. At that moment, he did not know how powerful the enemy engineers were and thought it might take the enemy several days to repair the Watergate Bridge.

However, to be on the safe side, Tan Ziwei did not lead his troops to retreat directly, but hid in the distant mountains, lying on standby, monitoring the situation of the Watergate Bridge at any time.

This is also just in case!

After all, the Watergate Bridge is of great importance and is directly related to the final outcome of the battle, so it cannot be taken lightly.
