Siheyuan, Shazhu: I have both parents in this life

Chapter 130: The Reinforcements Got Lost? Picking Up People, Encounter, Sniper Showdown?
As soon as Wu Qianli saw Mei Sheng walk past, he tried to pull He Yuzhu away because he had a lot of questions to ask, but Mei Sheng stopped him.

"What can't you ask me to my face?"

"It's nothing, I was just afraid you'd continue to criticize him."

“He played so well that even you couldn’t wait to ask him about it, so how could I criticize him?” Mei Sheng teased.

"Hehe, then I'll ask you this: it's too formal to always call you Comrade Xiao He or Deputy Squad Leader He. My name is Yuzhu?" Wu Qianli said.

He Yuzhu felt a chill and quickly said, "Just call me Zhuzi. That's what everyone in the village and my family used to call me."

"Okay, then I'll call you Pillar. Pillar, I just want to ask, after the attack started, after Yu Congrong's side finished off the tanks with the bazooka, were you the one who took down the enemies on the bridge?"

“There are so many enemies on the bridge?” He Yuzhu asked.

Wu Qianli gave a few specific locations, and He Yuzhu thought for a moment and nodded, realizing that it must have been him who made the call.

"It really was you who hit it. How far were you from the bridge at that time?"

"About 200 meters."

"Wu Wanli, Wu Wanli, come here for a moment."

"Company Commander, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, tell me how far away from the bridge the pillar was from when it fired the first shot after leaving the artillery position?"

"It was probably more than 200 meters. I remember I had run about half the distance by then."

"What happened next? A few more shots were fired?"

“I’m counting, a total of twenty shots were fired,” Wu Wanli said.

He Yuzhu thought to himself, "You still have the leisure to count this!"

He himself didn't count the exact number, only remembering that he changed the magazine twice.

"I knew it! The pressure on the bridge lessened considerably afterward," Wu Qianli said, suddenly realizing.

"Every shot hits its mark?" Mei Sheng asked.

"That's pretty much it. I asked around when I got back, and it definitely wasn't fired by heavy or light machine guns, and it came from your direction."

"So, are you planning to help Zhu Zi steal a tank so he can try it out?"

"There's a chance, there's a chance, Instructor, don't you think so?"

"What am I looking at? Do you think the Sixth Army would be willing to release a soldier like Zhu Zi?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wanli finally understood and exclaimed, "So you want to poach Squad Leader He? I agree."

"What good is your agreement? Go back and rest." Wu Qianli kicked him.

Wu Wanli walked away, turning back every few steps, wanting to hear what happened next.

"What are you thinking, Zhuzi?" Wu Qianli asked again after Wu Wanli left.

"I will follow the organization's arrangements."

"Okay, that's enough. Go and rest now," Wu Qianli said, patting his shoulder.

After He Yuzhu went to find a place to rest, Mei Sheng asked Wu Qianli, "Are you really planning to poach someone?"

"You didn't see his performance on the battlefield. You think it's as simple as just my question? Didn't Wanli tell you how many enemies he and his partner took down with grenades?"

"Is it really that strange?"

"What do you think? This kid took out at least a platoon, not counting the first ones killed by artillery fire. I haven't even asked Yu Congrong yet."

"Good heavens, that scared you to death!" Mei Sheng exclaimed in Shanghai dialect in surprise.

"Haha, I was even more surprised than you when I first found out. How did this kid end up lost and wandered all the way here?"

"Alright, stop pretending to be innocent after getting such a good deal. Just be happy about it. If it weren't for Comrade Xiao He, our 7th Company would have been in serious trouble last night."

"Yeah, we have no manpower and no equipment, so we can only risk our lives to blow things up," Wu Qianli sighed.

"I need to send a telegram tomorrow to ask about reinforcements. I have a feeling that this Shuimen Bridge project isn't over yet."

"No way, even the bridge piers collapsed today."

"You've seen how fast the bald eagles build bridges before. We blew one up the day before yesterday, and what happened?"

"Fine, I don't believe this bridge can't be blown up."

The next morning, Yu Congrong took the radio up the mountain again, but this time he was accompanied by soldiers. This was partly to protect the radio, and partly because they were far enough away that enemy planes would not be able to bomb them.

The enemy planes actually came and used incendiary missiles to burn the area within a five-kilometer radius of the Watergate Bridge.

Yu Congrong learned from the radio that reinforcements had arrived, but it wasn't the original one that was supposed to be sent. Instead, they found a nearby unit. However, this unit encountered trouble on the way. The snow was too heavy, and they got a bit lost. The order was for the 7th Company to continue operating in the Shuimen Bridge area. If the enemy built a bridge, their mission would still be to blow it up.

After ascertaining the other party's unit number, Yu Congrong led his soldiers back to the company.

After explaining the situation to Wu Qianli, Wu Qianli had no objection to the mission. Even if only one person remained in the 7th Company, the mission would still be carried out to the end.

However, he was a little annoyed that the reinforcements had gotten lost. After finding out their unit number, He Yuzhu said, "I know where they are."

"You know? How could you know? This is a division of ours, just not a regiment."

"I met them on the way and helped them out a little," He Yuzhu said.

"Is it another shipment of guns and ammunition?"

"No, they don't lack guns or ammunition, they lack cotton-padded clothes."

"Why are you acting like a money-giving boy? Tell me, who else have you helped?" Yu Congrong said.

"That's all. I ran into your two companies after I got lost."

"Alright, stop wasting time. Where are Zhu Zi and the others? We'll send someone to meet them," Mei Sheng said.

"I'll go by myself."

"No, this is our company's mission. You can go, but you have to take people with you." Wu Qianli was not comfortable letting his precious child go out alone.

“I’ll go with you,” Yu Congrong said.

“I’ll go too,” Wu Wanli said.

Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng exchanged a glance. Wu Qianli said, "I'll give you one day to search. If you can't find it, you must return tomorrow."

"Yes." The three stood at attention and saluted.

When they left, all three of them had their ammunition fully replenished. Actually, it was only He Yuzhu and Yu Congrong who were replenishing their ammunition. Wu Wanli hadn't fired many shots the night before; he had mainly been replenishing his grenades.

Wu Qianli also gave Yu Congrong a backup rendezvous point, in case the enemy's 7th Company came and they might have to move.

The three of them walked westward for half a day, and they were not lonely at all. Yu Congrong was a bit of a chatterbox, Wu Wanli was a straight man, and He Yuzhu was almost speechless because of the two of them.

These two wanted to recruit him into the 7th Company from beginning to end. Yu Congrong started by talking about the glorious history of their 7th Company, including the three Wu brothers who were of the same lineage.

Wu Wanli went on to tell me how he joined the army and what he had done before. I was puzzled as to why people of similar age were so different.

At noon, Wu Wanli ate compressed biscuits with the snow and asked, "Squad leader, did you hide canned food somewhere else?"

He licked his lips as he spoke, as if he hadn't had enough. He no longer called himself Deputy Squad Leader He, and he wouldn't even be allowed to call him Zhu Zi.

"Yes, we do, but we need to get going. We'll see if it's on our way back and pick some up along the way."

"Is it really true?"

"Do you still have those bazookas and explosives?" Yu Congrong was clearly more concerned about firepower, befitting his position as the firepower platoon leader.

"You didn't fire many bazookas yesterday, what happened, you ran out?"

"Well, the more the merrier, but we're really out of explosives."

"Then we'll pick it up when we get back. It's too much trouble for us to carry things while traveling."

"Okay." "Bang, bang, bang!"

As they were walking, the three of them heard an explosion.

The three quickly lay down. Yu Congrong listened for a moment and said, "It's about a mile away. Let's go take a look. Maybe it's the person we're looking for."

Although he was the platoon leader, Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng both instructed that He Yuzhu should be in charge this time, since they were far from being good at individual combat, especially in the field.

He Yuzhu's ability to attack enemy supply depots single-handedly, and not just once, proves that he has this capability.

"Let's go take a look. Even if they aren't, they're still allies. We'll help them if we can."

The three moved quickly across the snow. The closer they got, the more intense the gunfire became, interspersed with the sounds of grenades.

"Da da da"

"suddenly"

"Bang, bang, bang"

"Bah, ba gou"

Upon hearing the commotion, Yu Congrong was certain that it was his own troops; they were all too familiar with the distinctive sounds of the Type 38 rifles and Czech rifles.

“They’re one of us. They haven’t fought many battles and haven’t even changed their guns yet,” Yu Congrong said.

"It must be them, they're all equipped with Japanese weapons," He Yuzhu said.

The three men crawled to a certain distance, and He Yuzhu looked through his binoculars and, sure enough, it was the 6th Company.

This was an encounter, and it seems the Sixth Company suffered a considerable loss.

He Yuzhu roughly counted the number of people in the 6th Company. It was about a third less than when he first encountered them. Including the ones who had just been lost, they now had about seventy or eighty people left.

Looking at the enemy again, it was about a platoon of Bald Eagle soldiers, but their equipment was strange. They were all wearing snow suits, some of their guns had scopes, and the rest were mostly fully automatic weapons.

"Have we run into special forces?" A thought flashed through He Yuzhu's mind.

"This is the person we're looking for. You two, don't make a move yet; they have a sniper."

"What's a sniper?" Wu Wanli asked, puzzled.

"Sharpshooter".

"Oh, you think you can manage all by yourself?"

"Yes, I'll take care of a few first. You guys just need to provide cover fire when the opportunity arises. Don't try to fight head-on."

"Don't worry," Yu Congrong said; he was an expert in this area.

He Yuzhu rolled and dove to the side to get a distance away from the two men. He took a quick aim, raised his gun, and fired. One of the bald eagle soldiers holding a sniper rifle fell to the ground.

"The enemy has reinforcements! They have snipers!" his companion shouted.

They were ordered to find the person who attacked the highway, namely He Yuzhu. Their encounter with the 6th Company was accidental; in fact, the 6th Company was unwittingly implicated by He Yuzhu.

They originally thought that taking down the 6th Company would be a piece of cake. The enemy's weapons were inferior, and their combat personnel were not as skilled as theirs. They did have sharpshooters, but without scopes, their accuracy was significantly lacking.

Now a mysterious sniper has suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and he is very likely the person they are looking for. The commander in charge is not afraid, but excited. This is a real opponent.

"Sniper, take care of that guy. The rest of you, finish the fight quickly."

They thought no one could understand them, so they spoke quite loudly. He Yuzhu thought, "Oh ho, so they look down on me."

He changed positions and fired two shots, taking out a sniper and a spotter.

The 6th Company was greatly encouraged when they learned that reinforcements had arrived, but when they heard the gunfire and saw only one gun, their hearts sank. The enemy was too difficult to deal with, especially those sharpshooters. The 6th Company had already lost about twenty men in a short time.

"Lieutenant, the enemy is very strong. Tom and Jerry are gone."

"Aren't you supposed to be the elite of the elite? You can't even take down an enemy with such poor equipment. You might as well go home and farm." This guy was obviously from a farm.

"Bang, bang, bang!" He Yuzhu was hit by three more shots in a row at the same spot where he had just fired.

"Cover our friendly forces!" The 6th Company Commander had figured something out. Although there was only one person coming to provide support, he was a master.

"Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat!" The light machine gun fired several bursts at the White Eagle snipers' position, keeping them unable to raise their heads.

Just as a sniper was about to fire and take out the machine gunner, He Yuzhu's gun fired again with a "bang," and the sniper was blown to the head.

The lieutenant finally realized that his opponent was indeed formidable.

"E squad, provide cover for the sniper; everyone else, focus on eliminating the enemy on the other side."

"Rat-a-tat-tat, rat-a-tat-tat." The enemy's heavy machine guns began to suppress He Yuzhu's direction, and the snipers also began to flank.

At that moment, Yu Congrong and Wu Wanli fired their guns, "rat-a-tat-tat," "bang bang bang," and several members of the unsuspecting E squad were killed instantly.

Then a sniper spotted the two brothers and fired a shot that landed next to Yu Congrong, startling him so much that he quickly pulled Wu Wanli to another spot.

He Yuzhu fired that shot. Those snipers had become very skilled, and he couldn't find the right angle for the moment, so he could only use this method to remind Yu Congrong that the position was no longer safe.

After the battle, He Yuzhu moved away, but enemy bullets followed closely behind, not just one, but a barrage.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was in a sorry state, Yu Congrong and Wu Wanli threw a round of grenades, which caused snow to fly everywhere and both sides could no longer see what was happening on the other side.

However, to the enemy's surprise, He Yuzhu fired blindly. Based on his memory, he focused his attack on Class E, emptying one magazine. Class E was either killed or wounded, and the scene was filled with screams of agony.

The lieutenant sent several men to rescue the wounded, but they were all injured by He Yuzhu. After that, no one dared to go to rescue them. This was a decoy.

He Yuzhu learned this cowardly method from TV dramas and movies in his previous life, but those were all used by the enemy. Of course, it was very effective. If you save them, I will attack; if you don't save them, just wait for the wounded to bleed to death. With such a low temperature, the wounded will soon suffer hypothermia and then fall into shock.

In fact, He Yuzhu was getting further and further away as the fight went on. At first, it was only about a hundred meters away, but now it was more than a hundred and fifty meters away.

This was to reduce interference from other enemy fire so he could concentrate on shooting the snipers.

When He Yuzhu was more than 200 meters away, he had already switched to a KR98K. So what if it has a scope? I have one too.

"Bang!" A sniper who was aiming at He Yuzhu had a bullet shot into the eye through the scope by He Yuzhu.

“FUCK,” his lookout cursed.

Then he picked up his companion's helmet and 'bang!' The helmet went right through, and he pinpointed He Yuzhu's location. He threw down the helmet and raised his gun to aim, but what did he see? A gun was aimed at him.

"GOD!"

"Bang!" The observer died.

The remaining Bald Eagle snipers were a little timid. What kind of opponent was this? Did they become more accurate the farther away they were?
They then asked the lieutenant for permission to evacuate, but the lieutenant told them to hold on, saying he had already called for backup.

The group of snipers cursed under their breath: "Are we supposed to send a plane to bomb one person? Wouldn't that mean we'd all be blown up too?"

Actually, the lieutenant called for the infantry, but he didn't consider that this was deep in the mountains, and it would take at least an hour to get here from the road. The question was, could they hold out for an hour?

He Yuzhu would tell them, "Dream on!"

Because his sniper rifle responded to the lieutenant, another sniper died, and the remaining one was on the verge of a mental breakdown. How many enemies had they encountered since they started training, and they had basically won them all? What about now?

Of the four sniper teams, he was the only spotter left. If he could raise the white flag, he definitely would.

The situation on the battlefield had actually turned around. Without the threat of snipers, the 6th Company's combat effectiveness was immediately unleashed. Their ability to repel an enemy attack for a whole day at Dead Eagle Ridge with only the loss of a platoon speaks volumes about their combat strength.

Of course, they were also lucky, because they weren't bombed by planes, but only hit by a few rounds of artillery fire, plus the fact that Dead Eagle Ridge is a relatively large hill.

Finally, the spotter, too afraid to engage in a direct sniping match, leaned against cover and prayed. He Yuzhu, who had circled around to find a suitable sniping position, still managed to send him to meet their God.

Then He Yuzhu began his roll call, and after shattering the enemy's fighting spirit, the enemy tried to escape.

"Beep beep beep"

The whistle for the 6th Company to charge sounded, and then Yu Congrong and Wu Wanli also rushed out. He Yuzhu did not go out, but continued to shoot down those enemies who posed a threat to his comrades.

The battle ended quickly, and the 6th Company Commander ordered the battlefield to be cleaned up.
