Delivery man on the battlefield: Start with the sword

Chapter 187 Preparation
Wang Zhifei completed all the operations, which took more than six hours. He was highly concentrated and even reached his limit.

When Wang Zhifei walked out trembling, everyone looked at him.

"salute!"

Everyone saluted Wang Zhifei. This was the only way they could thank him.

"Dad Jin, eat, and take a nap after dinner. I made the meat noodle soup specially for you."

A soldier Wang Zhifei didn't know came over and handed him a bowl of steaming noodles.

"Okay! Wu Qianli, find a few people and discuss how we should fight tonight. I have a sand table of the Watergate Bridge here. I will mark out the firing points for you one by one.

Xiao Lei, come here too, and see which one of your cannons can hit."

Wang Zhifei pulled out a sand table from a secret compartment. The mountains, rocks and plants within a five-kilometer radius of the Watergate Bridge were all clearly marked on it, without any error!

"Here, here, here, is the enemy's artillery array. There are two rows of tents in a figure eight shape, lined with steel plates. They can be turned into bunkers when necessary to form crossfire.

There are four heavy machine gun bunkers here that can cover the entire bridge deck. If you don't deal with them, you will surely die if you go onto the bridge.

There is a machine gun nest on each side of the outer side of the bridge. It is definitely not a good idea to go under the bridge.

The four cement pipes below are a trap, going straight in and out, with no hiding place. No matter if it's a flamethrower or a heavy machine gun, if they block the exit, no matter how many people come, they can't get out at all!"

After Wang Zhifei finished his explanation and his meal, he handed the bowl to Zhang Xiaoshan next to him.

"It's as solid as a rock!" Mei Sheng exclaimed.

Wu Qianli frowned and thought of a solution, while Lei Suisheng measured the distance and calculated the angle.

"If we can occupy the mountain behind them, we can be on high ground and fight them more easily."

Lei Suisheng said.

"It would be best if we did it at night, and not for too long. If they call for aircraft support, it won't take long for the aircraft to arrive.

If it's just one or two, it's fine, but if there are more, I can't beat them all."

"Father Jin, I just saw two anti-aircraft machine guns, which can also shoot down their planes..."

"Do you know how to use it? If you have too much of that thing, it's fine. If you have too little, you'll be a sitting duck for the planes. They'll fly all over the sky, and you can only stay in one place.

The anti-aircraft machine guns are for you to use to attack their machine gun nests and recoilless artillery. Eight people will be stationed on both sides to cover the charge.

Okay, you guys take your time to study it, and we’ll blow up the bridge at night!
Anyone who wants to fight tonight should get some sleep. The lightly wounded should keep an eye on the seriously wounded. If anyone has a high fever, please call me immediately.

If you call too late, my rescue will be in vain. "

Wang Zhifei went back to sleep.

……

Throughout the day, the bombers' incendiary bombs burned all the surrounding hills. The snow melted and froze into ice, and even the mountains were burned black.

All the people guarding the bridge believed that there was no one around and their nearest enemy was at least dozens of kilometers away.

The officer guarding the bridge was observing the surroundings with a telescope. Looking at the burnt black mountain, his eyes were full of smiles.

"The sky belongs to us. We have an absolute advantage. During the day they can only hide in the corners like mice." "But they will still sneak attack at night."

"Don't be afraid! So many of them died yesterday, but only a basin-sized area was blown up. This time, I'm going to give them a big gift: hide some of the firepower, give up the bridge, lure them to attack, and then open up all the firepower so that they can't retreat."

There are currently more than 500 defenders on the Watergate Bridge, who have the advantages of location, air, numbers and weather.

If Wang Zhifei hadn't come, they would still have the firepower advantage.

Compared with the people who blew up the bridge, they were well-rested and even set up an ambush. This was just pure fun.

Moreover, information has just been received that the road to Huangcaoling is about to be opened. As long as they hold on for eighteen hours, reinforcements will come in an endless stream.

They were very optimistic and even treated this as a game. They thought they had an impregnable defense line, facing the 7th and 9th companies who were short of food and clothing and outnumbered. However, they didn't know that
Two anti-aircraft machine guns were laid flat, with thick armor in front and bullets as thick as children's arms hung on them. In the howling cold wind, eight people in a group operated the two machine guns.

Wang Zhifei, with Lei Suisheng's artillery platoon and his own sniper team, was following the ridge and heading towards the top of the mountain behind the Watergate Bridge.

"There are three machine gun bunkers, two artillery arrays, and five searchlights here. I'll send a message later. When they start fighting, they will first take down the searchlights below. I'll take care of the ones above. Then we'll rush in and take down the machine gun bunker on the left.

Meisheng operated their machine guns and pretended to continue the attack. Wu Wanli, I calculated the distance. The nearest artillery array and machine gun nest are only thirty meters and fifty meters apart. The one at thirty meters is yours, throw the stun grenade in, and the one at fifty meters is mine. As usual, use the stun grenade to clear the way.

The rest of the people rushed forward quickly, occupied the machine gun nest and the artillery array. The remaining two were on the opposite side of the cliff, so we had to abandon them. I would use explosive bombs and small mines to mount the artillery. We would have a double insurance, and whoever hits the target will get the reward.

Zhang Xiaoshan, do you know how to use the sniper rifle?"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded: "I know how to use it."

"That's good. Watch with infrared. If you find someone coming up, you can attack them if there are only a few of them. If there are more, let everyone attack together. Don't try to be brave. If you can't defeat them, we can't retreat and everyone will be in danger of being blown up."

"Yes! Father Jin!"

"Everyone remember the mission, right?"

Everyone nodded.

"Then act!"

Wang Zhifei put down his goggles and climbed up against the wind and snow.

This is a short section of steep cliffs, and in this kind of weather, the U Army never thought that anyone could climb up from here.

After coming up, there was a small earth depression. Wang Zhifei forcefully wedged a few self-expanding nails into the cracks in the rock, and several ropes were thrown down.

Wang Zhifei took out a whistle and faced the wind~
"Woo..."

It sounded similar to the whimpering of the north wind, but a Saker Falcon landed silently on Wang Zhifei's shoulder. Wang Zhifei looked at the time on his pocket watch, wrote a note, raised his hand, and the Saker Falcon flew out silently.

"Whoosh!"

The Saker Falcon landed on top of Wu Qianli who was lying in ambush, and threw the bamboo tube in its mouth in front of Wu Qianli.

The attack started at 8:50.

Wu Qianli quickly took out his pocket watch, which showed that there were still five minutes left.
"Pinghe! Watch my signal and lead the sniper team to destroy the row of searchlights below as soon as possible!"
