Near Watergate Bridge, on a high mountain
Wu Qianli raised the telescope, frowned slightly, and focused on observing the Watergate Bridge in the distance.
"Company commander, how are you? When will we launch the attack?"
Yu Congrong looked at Wu Qianli for half an hour and asked with insufficient restraint.
"Hmph, these American devils want to defend the Watergate Bridge even more intensely than they defend the White House."
"Comrades, please be alert in advance. This battle seems to be a bit tricky..."
Wu Qianli sighed and handed the binoculars to the other backbones.
After observing one by one, everyone took a breath of cold air and looked solemn.
Near the Watergate Bridge, there are US military sentries and barbed wire fences, and a semicircular machine gun position surrounded by sandbags.
Moreover, some of the US military defenders are very thieves.
Some of them hid in houses near the bridge and set up submachine guns.
Some were hiding behind snowy slopes, clutching sniper rifles.
Not to mention each and every bunker is a vicious firepower point for Yin people.
"Grandma, you're a bitch. This American is guarding the Watergate Bridge as his wife."
"Everyone is huddled in a turtle shell, how can we chew on it!"
After Yu Congrong read it, he couldn't help but clenched his fists and cursed in a low voice with some irritation.
"Company Commander, our seventh interleaving company currently has insufficient troops. If we attack rashly, we may suffer heavy casualties."
"It's better to contact Shiji first, explain the defense situation of Watergate Bridge, and ask nearby friendly forces to mobilize them for coordinated operations."
Mei Sheng was as cautious as ever and turned to Wu Qianli.
"Yes, Company Commander, we had other friendly forces participate in the task of blowing up the Watergate Bridge before, but they all ended in failure."
"I estimate that although our comrades were defeated by the firepower of the American devils, there must be some remaining strength around here."
Lei Gong scratched his temples and said hoarsely.
"The friendly forces tried their best to blow up the Shuimen Bridge but failed. One of them was the Ninth Company led by Tan Ziwei..."
When Wu Qianli heard their words, his memory was instantly activated, and countless scenes emerged like a fleeting glance.
According to the original development process, when the 7th Interleaved Company arrived at the Watergate Bridge, it happened to be the time when the 9th Company risked its life to blow up the bridge and failed.
In order to complete the task of bombing the bridge, Tan Ziwei, who commanded the Ninth Company to bomb the bridge, was shot several times and was seriously injured and could not recover.
So, after he explained the situation, he died in front of Wu Qianli and others not long after.
It was this fighting hero who once said that there are no heroes who cannot be beaten to death, and there are no heroes who cannot freeze to death. There is only the glory of soldiers!
"Use the radio immediately to request Shisi to issue an order and ask the Ninth Company to act with us to complete the bridge bombing!"
When Wu Qianli thought of this, his heart suddenly tightened, and he quickly said behind him.
Because of his appearance, the course of the Changjin Lake battle has already been greatly changed.
The seventh interleaving company showed up at the Watergate Bridge earlier than the original time when Tan Zi initiated the bombing of the bridge. This was an opportunity!
Wu Qianli made up his mind that he would never let Tan Ziwei die in the hands of the US military. He must save the soldiers of the Ninth Company and let the martyrs shed less blood!
"Brother, our radio station may have been damaged by the ice and snow, and it can't be used at all now!"
After Wu Wanli led someone to check it out, he said rather anxiously.
"It is estimated that the battery is frozen. It can be thawed slowly, but it will not be restored in a short time..."
Mei Sheng frowned slightly, sighed and said,
"Company Commander, are you worried about the safety of Jiulian Company and Tan Ziwei?"
The battle-hardened Lei Gong looked at Wu Qianli for a long time and revealed Wu Qianli's thoughts in one breath.
"That's right, Company Commander. The Ninth Company's weapons are rudimentary, not to mention that all of our members are not wearing cotton-padded clothes. If they are not suppressed to death by the US military's firepower, they may freeze to death."
“Damn it, grandma, this radio station is going to be broken sooner or later, but it’s frozen right now!”
When Yu Congrong heard this, he immediately thought of the situation of the Jiulian Company, punched the snow hard with his fist, and said anxiously.
"Don't be afraid. If they are still alive, they must be nearby. They will definitely see it when the battle starts."
Wu Qianli frowned and pondered for a moment, with a glimmer of light shining in his eyes.
"Company Commander, you just asked me to take the top soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon to find out the situation of the US military. I roughly recorded it."
"Their defenses are so sophisticated. Even if we only feign an attack from the front, I'm afraid we will have to pay a lot of casualties."
Pinghe took out a simple sketch and said seriously to Wu Qianli.
"That's right, company commander, let's just feign an attack just to join up with the Ninth Company. I'm afraid the gains outweigh the losses."
Yu Congrong thought for a moment, nodded in agreement and agreed.
"Who said I was going to feign an attack? The first attack is the main attack, and the first attack will determine the outcome! This Shuimen Bridge is very important, and we can't stay there for more than a day!"
Wu Qianli's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he clenched his fists and said.
When everyone heard this, they were shocked and their blood started to boil.
Perhaps when others say this, the Seventh Interleaving Company will still hesitate, or even feel a little embarrassed.
But which of the things Wu Qianli boasted about has not come true?
"One battle will determine the outcome. Company commander, do you want to..."
Mei Sheng seemed to have guessed what Wu Qianli was thinking and looked at him deeply.
"Yes, as long as we blow up the Shuimen Bridge, we don't have to worry about the Ninth Company suffering heavy casualties in order to blow up the bridge."
Wu Qianli nodded slightly, revealing a hint of domineering in his words.
Good guy, this is tantamount to asking how to let civilians escape from the harassment of millions of rebels. Wu Qianli answered that just kill all the rebels.
"yes!"
The backbone of the seventh interleaved company looked at each other, nodded heavily, and responded in low voices.
No matter what they think, as long as Wu Qianli makes his decision, no one will question him at all.
"Strategically, we can look down on our opponents, but tactically, we must keep our attention and not attack recklessly."
Wu Qianli looked at the trusting eyes of everyone, reminded in a low voice, and pointed his finger downward.
The backbone of the seventh interleaved company turned their heads and looked along Wu Qianli's direction.
"A gap has been blown up in the north of Watergate Bridge, but the traces of the battle there are not obvious."
"On the contrary, the houses and positions south of Watergate Bridge still have scorched earth and craters from the explosion."
Wu Qianli said, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he had already imagined the previous battle situation in his mind.
"Company commander, are you saying that the most advanced bridge bombing unit pretended to attack the south of Shuimen Bridge, but sent people to sneak attack the north of Shuimen Bridge, hoping to take the opportunity to blow up the bridge?"
Yu Congrong's eyes lit up and he answered immediately.
"Yes, but they didn't expect that even if they attracted a large number of US troops, the remaining firepower in the north of Watergate Bridge would be enough to suppress them, and they would not be able to completely blow up the bridge deck."
"Now we are fighting the same thing. We must not underestimate the firepower of the US military. We must attack its weaknesses to the maximum extent!"
Wu Qianli's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice.
"Company commander, how do you want to fight?"
Mei Sheng took a look at the position where the US military was armed as a hedgehog, and he couldn't imagine where the weakness was.
"The riskiest and most effective way is to destroy their chain of command and win at the minimum cost."
Wu Qianli smiled slightly, whispered, and took the sketch of Shuimen Bridge drawn by Ping He and spread it out in front of everyone.
"Look at the most conspicuous location of the water room. Although it is heavily guarded by firepower, there are not many soldiers. It must be a fake command post used by the US military to confuse us."
"There is a bunker to the north of Watergate Bridge, which is a great threat to us!"
"We'd better blow up this place, or at least find a way to suppress their firepower. Otherwise, not only will it be difficult to blow up the bridge, but the entire army may be annihilated."
"On the south side of the Watergate Bridge, those thick water pipes lead to the heart of the entire bridge. I guess they are the headquarters of the Watergate Bridge. This is where we want to capture!"
Wu Qianli slammed his fist on the mark of the water pump room and said murderously.
"This...if your analysis, company commander, is correct, then we are indeed 70% sure that we can blow up the Watergate Bridge within one day."
Mei Sheng glanced at Wu Qianli in shock and whispered.
He didn't understand how Wu Qianli could see through the U.S. military's defense in a short period of time. He just saw in his heart that Wu Qianli had made a huge gamble.
Everyone also choked, understanding that the price of failure in this gamble would be the complete disappearance of the seventh interleaved company.
"What? Are you scared?"
Wu Qianli smiled slightly, taking in everyone's expressions.
As someone who was familiar with the Battle of Changjin Lake in his previous life, all this analysis is based on history and is not a big gamble at all.
Of course, it is impossible to tell everyone in the seventh interleaving company this, we can only see if they still have the courage to fight.
"Afraid? Afraid of a bear! We faced tens of thousands of American troops attacking the mountain before, and no one was afraid to retreat!"
"Company Commander, just assign combat missions directly, we all listen to you!"
Yu Congrong was the first to express his stance and eagerly grabbed the Browning machine gun.
Others in the seventh interleaved company also agreed, and no one could shake Wu Qianli's majestic status as a military god.
"good!"
"Yu Congrong, take the fire platoon to the north of Shuimen Bridge, cut off the supporting troops from the US military, and attract their firepower!"
"Thunder Lord, Mei Sheng, you are responsible for the sniper attack south of Shuimen Bridge, and use heavy firepower to intercept their counterattack wave!"
"Pinghe, Wu Wanli, you and the reconnaissance platoon follow me, enter the water pipes, surprise the water pump room, and take away the American headquarters!"
Wu Qianli looked at everyone with bright eyes and issued the order in a deep voice.
"Company Commander, if we fight like this, once the bridge bombing fails, we can still run, but you will definitely be surrounded and die in the hands of the US military."
The experienced Lei Gong sighed, and he saw the most dangerous environment in the battle at a glance, and reminded him worriedly.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel their hearts tightening, and looked at Wu Qianli.
Once the 7th Interleaved Company loses five thousand miles, it can only be an ordinary elite and no longer the invincible "ghost" force.
"I will not lose. There are many American devils who want me dead, but none of them have succeeded!"
"No need to say more, execute the order!"
Wu Qianli looked at the concerned eyes of everyone and said confidently with a smile.
"yes!"
Everyone in the 7th interleaving company responded on the spot and walked along different roads towards the heavily guarded Water Gate Bridge.
At this point, the battle to cut off the retreat of the US Army on the Eastern Front has officially begun!
