Following Wu Qianli's order, it didn't take long for the soldiers of the 7th Interleaved Company to hide on both sides of the road.
Wearing white cloaks, they lay on the cold snow regardless of the cold. Coupled with the raging wind and snow, it was impossible for the US military to not be able to see what was happening on both sides.
"During your reconnaissance, did you see clearly how many people there are in the US military? How much firepower is it equipped with?"
Wu Qianli, who was lying on the snow, asked Ping He next to him, a trace of hesitation flashing in his heart.
"The snow was falling too much, so I didn't take a closer look, but there shouldn't be many people there, and the firepower and equipment can't be better than ours."
Pinghe was stunned for a second, and replied with a little shame. After all, he also wanted to investigate more clearly, but in order not to be discovered, and to come back quickly to report the news, he could only do this.
Wu Qianli smiled and nodded slightly to Pinghe, not blaming him. However, he didn't know the situation of this American army at all now, so he didn't dare to start a fight rashly, so he took a look first.
After all, they have finally advanced into the heart of the enemy, and are only one step away from the command post of the 1st U.S. Marine Division. If they are discovered at this time, everything they have done before will be in vain.
While Wu Qianli was frowning and thinking, a few American soldiers suddenly appeared in the snow in the distance. After a while, all the American troops slowly came into view.
"Oh my god, William, what do you think our superiors think? Those volunteers are still struggling outside the first line of defense. We are in the hinterland of the defense line. How can we be in danger and let us patrol here? , I’m afraid my brain is flooded.”
A US military officer named Miller complained to the people next to him. Looking at the vast white field in front of him, he thought about his superior's instructions to remain vigilant. He couldn't help but become even more angry when the volunteers infiltrated.
"Well, that's right. With just their volunteer troops, it's a question of whether they can break through the first line of defense. I guess our commander only adopted such an attitude to cater to General Smith. It's a pain to the people below us. .”
Another US military officer, William, nodded empathetically. His current situation is also very bad.
Before, when I spoke, the muscles around my mouth would move slightly unconsciously, but now they were obviously frozen by the severe cold. Not to mention shaking, they didn't feel much at all.
At the same time, the soldiers under this US patrol were talking a lot as they walked, with a bitter look on their faces.
Although they did not dare to complain directly to their superior officers, as if they were filled with lead, their feet were walking slower and slower than the US troops, and they did not get any improvement despite the urging of the officers.
"The whole army is resting. Let's rest where we are for a while. After the rest, please move quickly. How can we go back quickly if we don't complete the patrol mission."
Seeing his men's marching speed getting slower and slower, and feeling a lot of resentment in his heart, U.S. military officer Miller simply asked the troops to stop and rest for a while before setting off.
As soon as the American soldiers who were marching numbly with bitter faces heard the order to rest, their stagnant faces suddenly became lively. They didn't care about the cold feeling and just sat on the snow without caring.
William, an American military officer, also sat on the snow. He wanted to light a cigarette, but the cold wind suddenly became strong. He got up and tried several times without lighting a fire, so he simply gave up.
But when his irritable eyes glanced at a piece of snow not far away, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.
"Oh William, I lit this on fire. Can you borrow some fire? What's wrong with you? Did you find anything?"
US military officer Miller had already begun to hand over the cigarette he had finally lit, and asked half-jokingly when he saw William's expression.
He didn't believe that William would find any trace of the volunteers at all, but he was too bored, so he made a joke.
William also smiled back, lit the cigarette in his hand, slowly exhaled a puff of mist, and then let several of his soldiers go out to investigate.
Although he understood that the chance of encountering danger was very small, he was still willing to do it because he could direct his men to investigate with just one sentence and dispel any doubts in his heart.
As a result, a small number of American soldiers walked out with considerable resentment. Among them were two or three American soldiers who happened to be heading five thousand miles away.
At this time, several soldiers near Wu Qianli silently took out a bayonet. Yu Congrong, who was not far away, also gave Wu Qianli a look, obviously asking what he meant.
But Wu Qianli only hesitated for two seconds, and then slowly shook his head. Yu Congrong's eyes filled with fighting spirit flashed with disappointment, but he still pressed his left hand slowly to keep his soldiers calm and not to Make an unusual move.
Obviously, Wu Qianli had his own considerations. If he started to annihilate this army now, although it was a simple matter for the 7th Interpenetrating Company, such a huge risk was too great.
Killing this patrol team, even if there is not much noise, the troops disappearing for no reason will definitely arouse the vigilance of the US military for a period of time.
This means that they have set a time limit for themselves. They must arrive at the headquarters of the 1st U.S. Marine Division and complete the combat mission before the U.S. military is alert. If they slow down, the raid is likely to turn into a fortress attack. , even being surrounded and annihilated.
By that time, even if the seventh interleaved company can withstand huge casualties and complete the mission, it will definitely be beaten to the point of being cancelled.
"The 7th Interpenetrating Company cannot be wiped out in one battle. This heroic unit of the 7th Interpolating Company will definitely do more than that. The entire Peninsula War will definitely leave behind the legend and glory of this unit."
Wu Qianli made up his mind to let the American army go for the sake of caution, but an accident happened again.
I saw two American troops walking aimlessly closer and closer in the direction of Wu Qianli.
However, the soldiers of the 7th Interleaving Company were well hidden. Even if the biting cold invaded their bodies, they could not even tremble instinctively, so the eyes of the American soldiers were only a white patch of snow.
"It's almost done Garcia, let's go back quickly."
An American soldier shook his body vigorously and said tremblingly.
"Oh, damn, I'm a little impatient. Let me make it easier first."
As the American soldier Garcia spoke, he let out a breath of white air. He took a few steps forward rather eagerly, found a suitable position, squinted his eyes and unbuttoned his trousers.
Wu Qianli at the bottom stared at the rather small faucet with his eyes wide open, clenching his fists, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
The nearby soldiers of the 7th Interleaving Company also locked eyes with the two American soldiers instantly. As long as Wu Qianli gave the order, they would immediately pounce on them and cleanly deal with these two unlucky guys.
