Delivery man on the battlefield: Start with the sword

Chapter 185 Assistance
"Mei Sheng! Mei Sheng! Come with me. I have a large warehouse here. I should be able to help you."

Wang Zhifei said with a smile.

"Father Jin, this is not easy for you. If..."

"Okay, those are what you need most right now. There's badger oil, frostbite cream, and a large amount of medicine, as well as clothes like the ones you're wearing, and a lot of potatoes, sweet potatoes, dried sweet potatoes, and the like."

As Wang Zhifei spoke, he picked up a 240 shell and walked forward.

Every time Wang Zhifei said something, Meisheng's eyes brightened. With these things, at least the friendly forces would have a better life.

Just now, when I was transporting the wounded, I received news that the hospital in the rear was also short of medicines.

The transportation routes were cut off and many supplies could not be transported up. They had to rely on robbing. Guns and food were still okay as they were common and would not be in short supply after a battle, but medicines were really hard to rob.

When they retreat, they will try to destroy the medicine, which is really annoying.

Wang Zhifei found the place marked by the system, fired three shots with the Anzio in his hand, and made a hole that could accommodate 240 shells. He stuffed the shells in, and then withdrew to a safe distance with Meisheng~

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the soil was blown away, and the entrance of a cave below appeared in front of Wang Zhifei and Mei Sheng.

"Where did it explode?"

"Are there any enemies?"

……

Wang Zhifei pointed at the hole that had been blown open with his chin: "Dig it up, the stuff is inside."

"Yes!" Mei Sheng saluted and asked Zhang Xiaoshan to report the news, while he and Wu Wanli ran excitedly towards the cave entrance.

The two men used their helmets to push the loose soil out, and soon a hole large enough to accommodate one person appeared. Wu Wanli slid in along the slope without waiting for Mei Sheng to say anything...

"Counselor Mei, there are so many down jackets, so much food, and so many people I don't know..."

It can be seen that Wu Wanli is very happy.

……

"Command center called, Company 7 has a combat mission!"

Smith from Hagaru-ri escaped. Those who took a plane went directly to Jinheung-ri, while those who took a car and a tank fled to Guto-ri.

They built positions in Gutuli and wanted to defend it. As long as they held Gutuli, they could still form a pincer attack.

The longer the time drags on, the more difficult the battle will be and the more disadvantageous it will be for us. We must take action.

There is a bridge between Gutuli and Jinxingli - the Watergate Bridge, which is an important transportation supply line for Gutuli. If the transportation in Gutuli is blown up and they have to rely entirely on airplanes, they will not be able to hold out for long.

Also, this is the only way for them to retreat. If it is blown up, they can only run back in shame. The cannons, tanks and the like must either be left behind or blown up.

However, this bridge is not so easy to blow up. Although it is called a bridge, it is actually a very advanced hydroelectric power station, and the top of the dam is also used for road transportation.

The water from the Changjin Lake Reservoir is brought in through a tunnel on the side of the mountain and injected into four huge cement pipes. The pipes run along the steep hillside directly to the turbines in the valley. The turbines drive the generator to generate electricity. A substation is built on the mountain at the intersection of the cement pipes and the road.

The Watergate Bridge is built between two mountains below the substation, with a span of only 8.8 meters. There is a deep abyss below. Soon after crossing the bridge, you can see the wide coastline and Wonsan Port. Smith is different from most fanatical and confident U-troops. He has his own thoughts.

As he drove north from Jinheung-ri and passed the Sumun Bridge, he realized the importance of the bridge: "Without it, we would not be able to withdraw our vehicles, tanks and artillery."

Therefore, as soon as they entered the Changjin Lake area, the US military began to reinforce the Watergate Bridge so that it could withstand a weight of 50 tons.

Now, this bridge comes in handy. If it is defended, Smith's troops can transport more than 1400 vehicles and mechanized equipment such as tanks and artillery. After a short rest, Smith's troops will continue to fight.

If the bridge was blown up, the best outcome would be for the crew to evacuate, replenish equipment, rest, and adjust their status...

All of this takes a long time, and Smith's troops basically withdrew from the battle sequence.

So, it was really not easy to blow up the bridge this time.

Look, Meisheng and Wu Qianli are persuading Wang Zhifei to stay, hoping that he will stay and then be sent to the rear hospital.

"Hey? What are you going to do with the planes in the sky without me? Don't tell me you can catch a bomb with your head.

And there are tanks. You don't think they have so many tanks that you can't leave some on the bridge to guard it. How can you fight them?"

Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng were silent. They had no better way to deal with the tanks. Even an M24 light tank could not be smashed open by Lei Dad's small mortar.

Recoilless guns are okay, but there are tanks and planes everywhere, so there are not enough recoilless guns.

Moreover, in order to use a recoilless rifle, one has to get close to the tank to fire, which means that human lives will be sacrificed. There are only 103 people left in the Seventh Company. Although they are not afraid of sacrifice, if they are all sacrificed, who will blow up the bridge?

"Let's take Old Man Jin with us. This tank is very difficult to deal with." Pinghe came over and said.

"But this is the mission of our Seventh Company." Mei Sheng said stubbornly. This trip would be very dangerous, and Mei Sheng really didn't want to let a seventy-year-old man get involved.

"We can let Old Man Jin join our Seventh Infiltration Company. Old Man Jin, are you willing to become the 678th soldier of the Seventh Company?" Wu Wanli appeared from the side.

During this time, he became familiar with Wang Zhifei and often got some delicious food from him. Wang Zhifei also taught him how to fight and how to save his life...

He admired Wang Zhifei's ability to hit the target without missing a single shot. No matter if it was an airplane, a tank, or a firing point, one shot would reduce it to ashes.

"Get out! What a bad idea..." Wu Qianli slapped Wu Wanli back.

"It's not impossible!" Wang Zhifei said, twirling his beard.

"Huh? Old Man Jin, you agreed to such an unreliable thing?" Wu Qianli was stunned.

"Is it unreliable? It is quite reliable, at least it seems to me. As the saying goes, people leave their names behind, and wild geese leave their voices behind.

If a man does not leave his name, we would not know him as Zhang, Wang, Li or Zhao; if a wild goose does not leave its voice, we would not know spring, summer, autumn or winter.

As the saying goes: Nima, heroes fight with swords and guns, but they are even stronger with bare hands. The church was attacked in the foreign land, and the coalition was burned openly.

I am the dignified Thirteenth Prince of the Golden Darts, so I must leave a name behind at least.”

Wang Zhifei smiled and said.

When everyone looked at Wang Zhifei like this, a question popped up in their minds at the same time: Is this really reliable?
Zhang Xiaoshan squeezed over from the side and said, "Old Man Jin is right. I think we should add one more person to our Seventh Company. We can't let Old Man Jin follow us around for nothing."
