Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 95 Super Hero!

"Grenade~!"

While shouting, Captain Yang picked up the last grenade, pulled the fuse, and threw it hard into the crowd of enemy troops.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion was heard, and several enemy soldiers were blown to the ground.

The enemy troops behind raised their guns and fired. The dense bullets hit the trenches like raindrops, splashing up clouds of dust.

Captain Yang huddled in the trench and saw no one responded. He looked around and realized that all his comrades had died.

The battlefield was littered with corpses and in a mess.

Captain Yang carefully searched for weapons and ammunition on the position, but after fighting for so long, the ammunition had basically been exhausted.

When the enemy saw that there was no movement on the mountain, an enemy officer shouted loudly: "Charge up and occupy the position on the top of the mountain."

Upon hearing the order, the attacking enemy soldiers rushed to the top of the mountain without hesitation.

Captain Yang was extremely anxious and kept searching for weapons and ammunition on the battlefield. Finally, he found a pack of explosives next to a sacrificed soldier.

At this time, more than forty enemy soldiers had rushed to the top of the mountain.

Captain Yang hid in a secluded place and secretly observed the situation. Then he pulled the fuse without hesitation and rushed directly towards the enemy group with the explosive pack.

Seeing Captain Yang suddenly rushing out and the smoking explosive bag in his arms, the enemy soldiers were so scared that their faces turned pale and they turned around and fled.

The power of this explosive pack is so great that they can imagine it with just their butts.

Once this thing explodes, everyone within a radius of dozens of meters will go to see God.

So these enemy soldiers fled in panic, just wanting to leave this hellhole as soon as possible.

However, it was too late. Captain Yang, holding the explosive pack, rushed into the enemy crowd without hesitation.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion was heard, a burst of flames rose into the sky, and the ground on the battlefield shook violently.

The raging shock wave instantly engulfed more than forty enemy soldiers. Most of the enemies were torn into pieces, and some who were a little further away were blown away. Their corpses rolled down the hillside like rotten sacks.

The enemy lieutenant colonel in the distance vaguely saw this scene through a telescope and was also stunned with surprise.

"My God! What kind of enemies are we fighting against?"

At the last moment of his life, Company Commander Yang detonated the explosive pack and died along with more than 40 American soldiers.

Captain Yang died heroically and was posthumously awarded first-class merit and the title of special-class hero after the war. He became the first hero of the Volunteer Army to receive this title. During the entire War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, a total of two people were awarded this title. The third company of the 172nd Regiment was also named after Captain Yang.

……

After the Seventh Company was reorganized, Li Guotao's Third Squad added three more soldiers.

Gao Dashan, Liu Zhiyi and Chen Chusheng.

These three soldiers were originally in the third platoon. Now that the third platoon and the first platoon have been merged, they have all been transferred to the first platoon.

In this way, there are a total of eight people in Class 3.

Although their number was not large, those who could survive such a brutal battle were undoubtedly elite soldiers and generals.

That afternoon, snow was falling all over the sky and everything was white.

Braving the wind and snow, the soldiers continued to advance towards the Watergate Bridge.

The mountain road was already rugged and difficult to walk on, and it was covered with snow, making it very difficult to walk on.

Chen Chusheng slipped and almost fell down the hillside. Fortunately, Gao Dashan behind him was quick-witted and grabbed Chen Chusheng.

Several other soldiers immediately rushed forward and pulled Chen Chusheng up.

Li Guotao panted heavily and shouted, "The road is not easy to walk on, everyone be careful." Liu Zhiyi asked, "When can we reach the Watergate Bridge?"

Li Guotao shook his head and said, "I don't know. According to the schedule, I should arrive tonight!"

"Speed ​​up and keep moving forward. Be careful in front, and those behind you should follow closely."

"Yes!"

The soldiers were very careful along the way, climbing over mountains and crossing rivers, crawling on ice and snow. Although it was very hard, no one complained. They just wanted to get to the Watergate Bridge as soon as possible.

Li Guotao looked back and saw Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng standing on an open space on the side of the road, holding a map in their hands. They were looking at the map and observing the surrounding terrain.

Li Guotao just took a look and continued to move forward with the soldiers.

Meisheng took out his compass, patted it, and couldn't help cursing, "Damn, it's too cold, the compass is frozen."

Wu Qianli raised his head and looked at the situation in the distance, frowning and saying, "It's snowing now, everything is white, and I can't see clearly at all."

Mei Sheng said with a worried look on his face: "We are not familiar with the terrain, and now it is in this situation, we must not take the wrong road."

Wu Qianli frowned and said, "The general direction should be correct. We should be at this location now."

Mei Sheng said: "The soldiers are too tired, and the road is not easy to walk on."

Wu Qianli gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we must hold on."

"I don't know what's going on with the battalion commander."

Meisheng said: "We don't have a radio, so we can't get in touch with the battalion commander and his men, but the Watergate Bridge has been repaired by the enemy."

"The battalion commander and his men will definitely carry out the bridge bombing mission again."

"If nothing unexpected happens, they will definitely choose to raid at night."

"The enemy is now trying their best to break through. They will never allow the Watergate Bridge to be blown up."

"So the task will definitely be more difficult this time."

Wu Qianli looked into the distance and said seriously, "So we have to get there as soon as possible."

"No matter how difficult it is, we must rush to the Watergate Bridge as soon as possible, blow up the Watergate Bridge, and cut off the enemy's retreat."

"Keep going along this road, go over the mountain ahead, and then take another look!"

"Okay~!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Company continued to move forward. When they were tired, they would just stop to rest for a while and then continue on their way.

Under such difficult circumstances, the soldiers could only rely on their tenacious will to continue moving forward.

I walked from day till night, but still couldn't see the Watergate Bridge.

However, Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng judged that they were not far from the Watergate Bridge.

At this time, the soldiers were already exhausted. Wu Qianli had no choice but to let the troops stop and rest temporarily, allowing the soldiers to recover their strength before continuing on their journey.

……

After dark, Tan Ziwei led the soldiers of the 9th Company and prepared to raid the Watergate Bridge again.

The enemy has stepped up their vigilance. It is impossible to get away with it like last time. After all, the enemy is not a fool.

Tan Ziwei said helplessly: "This time we can only attack by force. We must rush to the Watergate Bridge at all costs."

"Put all of our remaining explosives on the bridge and blow up the entire bridge deck."

"They use wood to build the bridge, don't they? Let's burn all the trees around the Watergate Bridge and see how they can build the bridge."
