Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 97 Sacrifice yourself to blow up the bridge!

Following Tan Ziwei's order, the soldiers of the 9th Company attacked the enemy's position north of the bridge with all their might.

Faced with the fierce attack of the Volunteer Army, the enemy at the Watergate Bridge also resisted with all their might, and the battle became increasingly fierce.

At this moment, the Seventh Company, which was marching, suddenly heard the sound of gunfire coming from the front.

Wu Qianli frowned slightly, looked up, and shouted loudly: "Speed ​​up and rush over immediately."

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Company immediately quickened their pace and ran forward.

Li Guotao looked up and saw a mountain in front blocking his view, so he couldn't see the specific situation clearly, but the gunfire and explosions coming from the distance became more frequent.

Li Guotao guessed that they should have reached the Watergate Bridge!
The 9th Company is attacking the Watergate Bridge!

Li Guotao didn't have time to think about it and shouted, "Come on, everyone behind, hurry up!"

As he said this, he quickened his pace and ran forward.

The soldiers stepped on the thick snow and finally climbed to the top of the mountain in front.

Looking ahead, in the valley ahead, there are four thick water pipes extending side by side towards the mountain.

Li Guotao took a look and then shouted loudly: "We have reached the Watergate Bridge."

At this time, Wu Qianli also rushed up, looking at the fierce battle on the Watergate Bridge, and then shouted loudly: "Go over and support immediately, quick~!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded loudly.

At this moment, the soldiers' blood was boiling, as if they had been injected with chicken blood. The fatigue of the long march seemed to disappear in an instant. The potential in their bodies was fully stimulated. One after another, they rushed down from the top of the mountain and rushed towards the Watergate Bridge.

Wu Qianli rushed down the mountain while shouting, "Thunder God!"

"I'm here!"

Lei Gong shouted among the crowd behind him.

Wu Qianli shouted loudly: "Go to the hillside over there and set up the artillery position."

"Do not worry!"

Lei Gong responded and shouted loudly: "Follow me, everyone in the artillery platoon. Don't fall behind."

At this moment, all the soldiers saw the situation of the Watergate Bridge clearly. The 9th Company was attacking with all its might and the battle was very fierce.

The enemy's firepower is very strong, and they are on the defensive, which gives them a certain advantage.

They must rush over to provide support as soon as possible!
Tan Ziwei rushed behind a large rock very close to the Watergate Bridge, set up a rocket launcher, and aimed it at an enemy bunker.

"Chirp~!"

With a sharp whistling sound, the rocket hit the enemy bunker.

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion sounded and the enemy bunker was completely destroyed.

Just then a recoilless gun shell flew over, and a soldier next to him was quick-witted and quickly pulled Tan Ziwei back.

"Captain, be careful~!"

"Boom~!"

A violent explosion was heard, and Tan Ziwei fell down in the snow, gasping for breath.

"Captain, are you okay?"

Tan Ziwei pushed the soldier away and said through gritted teeth: "I'm fine! Keep attacking~!"

Captain Guo was also extremely brave. He rushed forward with a submachine gun in his hand and soon reached the bridgehead.

Captain Guo ordered loudly: "The first platoon will continue to clear out the remaining enemies on the hillside. The demolition team will immediately go up to the bridge to place explosives. We must blow up the Watergate Bridge at all costs."

"Yes!"

Above the Watergate Bridge was also a hillside where the enemy had built a defensive position and a group of enemies were resisting stubbornly.

A row of soldiers, under the command of Captain Guo, continued to attack the enemy positions on the hillside.

The soldiers of the blasting team immediately rushed to the Watergate Bridge carrying the explosives.

"Da da da~!"

Intensive gunfire rang out. Although the enemies on the south side of the bridge were blocked by the destroyed tanks and could not rush over, they still used machine guns mounted on high places to continuously shoot at the Watergate Bridge.

Several soldiers who rushed onto the bridge were shot and fell to the ground one after another.

Tan Ziwei used a rocket launcher to destroy the enemy's recoilless gun. He was anxious as he watched the soldiers who rushed onto the bridge being shot and killed one after another.

Tan Ziwei shouted loudly: "Provide cover fire!" The machine gunners at the foot of the mountain began to shoot at the enemy south of the bridge with all their strength to suppress the enemy's firepower.

At this time, Wu Qianli and his soldiers rushed down the mountain. Wu Qianli looked up and observed the situation of the Watergate Bridge.

Wu Qianli ordered loudly: "Concentrate your forces and launch an attack to the south of the bridge to cover the soldiers of the Ninth Company in blowing up the bridge."

"Yes~!"

The soldiers passed through the four water pipes and rushed to the south.

Li Guotao raised his hand and fired a shot from several hundred meters away, and an enemy soldier in the distance fell to the ground after being shot.

Li Guotao shouted loudly: "Third squad, follow me and charge forward."

The battle has reached this point, so we can only attack with all our might and buy time to capture the Watergate Bridge.

Lei Gong led the soldiers of the artillery platoon to climb to the top of a mountain, about one kilometer away from the Watergate Bridge.

Lei Gong pointed to the south of the bridge and shouted, "Set up the artillery immediately, aim at the firing point south of the bridge, and fire!"

The soldiers were also experienced and quickly set up the mortars.

"Chirp!"

Two mortar shells flew towards the distant enemy positions with a sharp whistling sound.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

There was a loud explosion and two enemy machine gun positions were destroyed by artillery fire.

Lei Gong shouted excitedly: "Well done, keep firing at me."

With the support of the Seventh Company, the enemy's firepower south of the bridge was temporarily suppressed.

Upon seeing this, Captain Guo shouted, "Charge forward, plant the explosives, and blow up the Watergate Bridge."

As he said this, he personally led several soldiers and rushed to the Watergate Bridge.

The soldiers brought all the explosive packs onto the bridge and placed them at different locations on the bridge.

In order to prevent the enemy from repairing the Watergate Bridge again, the plan this time was to completely blow up the entire bridge deck.

In Tan Ziwei's opinion, as long as the bridge deck was completely blown up, the enemy would not be able to repair the Watergate Bridge.

Captain Guo continued to rush forward holding a bag of explosives.

"Da da da~!"

Just then a string of bullets flew over and Captain Guo's legs were hit one after another, and both of his calves were broken.

Captain Guo fell down on the bridge, and the severe pain almost made him faint.

However, this veteran soldier, who had experienced many battles, gritted his teeth and said nothing, continuing to crawl forward with the explosive pack in his arms.

Thanks to the protection of the destroyed tank, he was safe now. He climbed under the tank with difficulty and placed the explosive pack on the bridge.

Captain Guo shouted loudly: "Blow up the bridge~!"

He said this and pulled the fuse without hesitation.

"Captain~!"

Captain Guo shouted loudly: "Don't worry about me, blow up the bridge!"

At this moment, every second of delay may result in greater casualties and may even cause the failure of the bridge bombing mission.

Captain Guo could no longer leave, and he had no idea that he would be able to leave here alive.

But even if it means death, we must blow up the Watergate Bridge.

At the same time, other fighters also pulled the fuse.

"Boom~!"

The explosive pack in Captain Guo's hand exploded first, with such great force that it directly destroyed a nearby section of the bridge deck.

The tank that was destroyed was also blown over and rolled down the mountain.

"Boom~! Boom~!"

Several more violent explosions were heard, and flames instantly engulfed the entire Watergate Bridge. The ground shook in an instant as if a mountain was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

Such a huge explosion was powerful enough to destroy the entire bridge deck.

Some soldiers didn't even have time to run far before they were blown away by the huge shock wave generated by the explosion.

Smoke and dust billowed over the Watergate Bridge, and concrete fragments were flying everywhere.
