Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 92 was fixed so quickly!
But thinking about the system tasks, there was one that asked him to be the company commander of the seventh company.

Then he has to climb up step by step.

However, due to the restrictions of Task 10, he also had to try his best to ensure the safety of Wu Qianli and others.

Anything can happen on the battlefield. Even if Li Guotao is stronger, he cannot guarantee the safety of others.

In such a brutal battle, it is already difficult to save your own life, let alone ensure the safety of others.

He could only do his best and pray for God's blessing for the rest.

Just like when he saved Lei Gong before, he knew how the plot would develop in advance and intercepted the plane in advance.

Otherwise, Lei Gong would have died in Xinxingli.

According to the development of the plot, all the members of the Seventh Company except Wu Wanli will die on the Watergate Bridge.

What Li Guotao can do now is to find a way to make it easier for the Seventh Company to blow up the Watergate Bridge, complete the mission, and minimize the losses.

As for whether we can save the five people required by the system mission, we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate.

Of course, if Wu Qianli, Mei Sheng and others can be saved, Li Guotao hopes that they can be transferred from the Seventh Company as soon as possible.

Whether he was the battalion commander or the deputy battalion commander, only after they left would Li Guotao have the opportunity to become the company commander of the seventh company.

However, considering the tragic incident at the Watergate Bridge, it is estimated that a large number of soldiers from the Seventh Company will be sacrificed at that time.

I guess it would be good if there is one row left.

However, according to the history that Li Guotao knew, after the Battle of Watergate Bridge, the second battle ended with the victory of the Volunteer Army. The enemy army retreated and fled from Xingnan Port.

After the second battle, the Ninth Corps will have a period of rest and replenishment, and the Seventh Company should be able to receive reinforcements by then.

Therefore, if Li Guotao wants to become a company commander, he will probably have to wait until the reinforcements are completed, or he may have to wait even longer.

Li Guotao was helpless about this, because the tasks assigned by the system restricted each other.

In other words, he had to wait until the 27th Army was ordered back to the country before he could complete all his tasks.

Wu Qianli took out a seized watch, glanced at the time, and then said, "Okay, let's all go and rest for three hours, and then set off immediately to the Watergate Bridge."

"Yes!"

……

Near the Watergate Bridge.

A soldier hurriedly ran up to Tan Ziwei and said, "Captain, this is bad. Has the enemy repaired the Watergate Bridge?"

"what?"

Tan Ziwei couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise and asked, "How could it be so fast?"

The soldier quickly said: "Their engineers cut down some trees and used the wood to repair the damaged bridge deck."

Tan Ziwei rushed out quickly, taking two soldiers with him, and quietly climbed to the top of a mountain. He lay behind a big rock, raised the telescope, and looked far away in the direction of the Watergate Bridge.

Sure enough, I saw several trucks driving across the Watergate Bridge, and then driving back, repeating this several times.

The soldier next to him said, "They seem to be testing the strength of the repaired bridge deck."

Tan Ziwei also discovered that the bridge deck had indeed been repaired, and every time a truck passed by, an engineer would come forward to check the situation.

Tan Ziwei couldn't help but curse: "Damn it! I didn't expect they would repair the bridge so quickly."

"Go back and prepare. We will raid the Watergate Bridge again tonight and make sure to blow it up again." Tan Ziwei never dreamed that the enemy would repair the blown-up Watergate Bridge so quickly.

But at this point, Tan Ziwei had no choice but to go back and continue organizing his troops, preparing to launch a surprise attack at night in an effort to completely destroy the Watergate Bridge.

……

At this moment, Major General Smith commanded his troops to retreat from Hagaru-ri.

However, due to the resistance of the Volunteer Army, the enemy's retreat was not smooth and progress was very slow.

Major General Smith stared at the sand table and said, "We must speed up and retreat to Gutuli as soon as possible. The current retreat speed is too slow."

Colonel Bowser said: "Some important sections along the way have been occupied by the enemy. We are clearing them out, which may take some time."

"But judging from the current situation, even if the retreat is slow, it won't be a big problem."

"In addition, our reinforcements have arrived in Gutuli. They will continue to move north and attack the remaining enemies on the road between Hagaru-ri and Gutuli from both sides with us."

Smith asked, "Reinforcements, the British Marines?"

"Yes sir!"

Colonel Bowser responded, "It is the 41st Royal Marine Commando of the British Army. In addition, some of our troops have been reinforced to form such a rescue force. The strength of the force exceeds that of a battalion, about a thousand people, equipped with a number of heavy equipment such as tanks and armored vehicles."

"They have already set out from Gutuli and advanced northwards, but they were also blocked by the enemy."

At that time, Hagaru-ri was in a state of emergency, and Smith asked the rear to mobilize troops to support Hagaru-ri.

However, the troops that could be mobilized from various places in the rear were quite limited, so the British 41st Royal Marine Commando was used as the main body, and some US military troops were dispatched to form this mixed reinforcement force.

At present, this unit has just arrived at Gutu-ri, but Major General Smith has already begun to retreat from Hagaru-ri with his troops.

Their troops did not stop their northward march and planned to continue moving north from Togu-ri, open up the connection between Hagaru-ri and Guto-ri, and support Major General Smith's troops to retreat to Guto-ri.

Major General Smith pointed at the sand table and said, "Tell them to clear out the enemy as soon as possible, speed up their march north, meet up with us as soon as possible, and help us return to Gutuli."

"Yes sir!" Colonel Bowser responded quickly.

Major General Smith stared at the sand table for a while, then pointed at it and asked, "Is Hill 1071.1 still in the hands of the enemy?"

"Yes!"

Colonel Bowser nodded and pointed to the sand table and said, "Unfortunately, Hill 1071.1 and the surrounding hills have been occupied by the enemy."

"They have become a major obstacle on our way of retreat. We are organizing our troops to launch an offensive and strive to retake this position as soon as possible."

Major General Smith said seriously: "Notify the front-line troops to seize Hill 1071.1 at all costs."

"Yes sir!"

……

"Buzz~!"

"Chirp chirp chirp~!"

Amidst the shrill whistling sounds, bombs fell from the sky, landing on Hill 1071.1 and the surrounding volunteer army positions.

There was a loud explosion and the entire position was completely covered by artillery fire.

Xiaogaoling, located on the southeast side of Hill 1071.1, is not far from Hill 1071.1 and they form a pincer relationship with each other. The 172rd Company of the nd Regiment, under the command of Company Commander Yang, fought desperately to hold its position and repelled several attacks by the enemy.
