Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 23: The Battle of the Signal Tower! Triple Reward Bonus!

"Signal tower?"

"Powerful US firepower, the first appearance of US tanks in Korea, and a brutal battle!"

"No, I must reduce the casualties of the Seventh Company!"

Looking at the frostbitten, swollen faces of the soldiers of the Seventh Company, Wu Wanli clenched his fists firmly.

"Company commander, judging from the gunfire, our brother unit is being heavily suppressed!"

Yu Congrong listened carefully for a moment, then spoke.

"Seventh Company, follow me to the high ground and observe the situation."

Wu Qianli hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Company responded loudly and cautiously made their way up the hill ahead.

The view from the top of the hill is excellent.

The entire Seventh Company lay prone on the mountaintop, observing the battlefield across the way.

"Company commander, the situation is quite clear."

"There's an American signal tower on the opposite hillside. Our comrades are attacking it desperately, probably to destroy it!"

Yu Congrong pointed into the distance and said.

"Brother, this fight is really tough for our unit!"

"The American devils should have two lines of defense, one on the mountain and one at the foot of the mountain."

"There is a main firing point on the high ground of the first line of defense, equipped with three heavy machine guns, which will carry out comprehensive fire suppression."

"There are also two secondary firing positions at both ends, each equipped with a heavy machine gun, forming a crossfire network for suppression."

"In addition, the US military's individual firepower is precise and effective, so even if our brother units are wiped out, they still can't get up there!"

After observing the muzzle flashes and barrage for a few minutes, Wu Wanli immediately deduced the approximate firepower of the defense line at the foot of the mountain.

The defensive line on the mountain hasn't been exposed yet, but it's probably close enough.

"Wanli is right, but it should be more than that..."

"The American devils definitely have artillery, they just haven't used it yet."

Pinghe glanced at Wu Wanli with a hint of surprise, then added.

"Company commander, shall we fire or not?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Congrong looked at Wu Qianli with some anxiety.

"beat!"

"They are all comrades of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army; we cannot let their blood be shed in vain!"

Wu Qianli hesitated for only two seconds before slamming his hand on the ground and making his decision.

"Company Commander, the Party organization has assigned the Seventh Company the task of escorting the codebreaker and radio to the Dayudong Command Post!"

Upon hearing this, Mei Sheng lowered his voice with a hint of anxiety.

"Instructor, I understand."

"You and Lei Gong escort the radio station and the cipher machine to continue the march. I'll come over as soon as I've finished helping the other units."

Wu Qianli nodded and explained.

"That's...ok."

"Take care and stay safe!"

Mei Sheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded emphatically.

"Mei Sheng, Lei Gong, He Changgui, you lead the main force of the company to continue escorting the cipher clerk and radio to the command post!"

"Yu Congrong, Pinghe, and the artillery platoon will stay behind, plus Balong with an artillery crew. That's enough to wipe out these American devils!"

Wu Qianli waved his hand and gave the order with an air of dominance.

"Company Commander, which way should Wanli go?"

He Changgui glanced at Wu Wanli and asked.

"Wanli is of course..."

Wu Qianli was about to say he would follow Lei Gong, but he hesitated halfway through his sentence.

Wu Wanli's incredible marksmanship could take down American fighter jets; keeping him around to eliminate American firepower would be perfect.

However, considering that Wu Wanli had never fought in a war, Wu Qianli was somewhat worried about his younger brother.

"Ding--"

"Host has been detected facing a decision. Battlefield selection activated!"

"Option 1: Follow the main force of the company and escort the cipher clerk and radio operator on their march!"

"Choose reward: Gain infrared night vision capability!"

"Option Two: Follow Wu Qianli and attack the signal tower!"

"Choose Reward 1: God-level Agility Experience Card: Host's movement speed is greatly increased!"

"Choose Reward 2: God-level Lucky Experience Card: As long as the fire network doesn't completely block all escape routes, the host will not be injured." "Choose Reward 3: God-level Grenade Throwing Skill (Permanent): Greatly increases grenade throwing distance, accuracy, and speed!"

Note: The original host's innate airburst ability was only at the advanced level.

Just then, the system's cold notification tone sounded.

"Is this even worth considering?"

"Option two! Option two! Option two!"

Wu Wanli was so angry he laughed again, and he shouted three times in his mind.

"Wanli, what do you think?"

Wu Qianli was somewhat hesitant, so he simply asked directly.

"Attack the signal tower!"

"A true hero doesn't fight a tough battle!"

Wu Wanli snapped the bolt back, speaking with murderous intent.

"Okay! I have the guts!"

"Wu Wanli stays; the rest proceed as planned!"

Wu Qianli glanced at Wu Wanli with appreciation and waved his hand to give the order.

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Company responded loudly and split into two groups.

Wu Wanli followed the artillery platoon down the mountain and cautiously made his way toward the distant battlefield.

"That hilltop is in a good position. Baron, go set up the mortars and provide artillery support!"

"Oh, and I'll also give you another machine gun to suppress the American devils' firing positions."

"Pinghe, Wu Wanli, you two go there too, snipe!"

"Yu Congrong, you take the artillery platoon and come with me to the front lines to provide support!"

After approaching the battlefield, Wu Qianli observed for a moment and then spoke.

"Yes!"

Everyone agreed in unison and split up to carry out their tasks again.

After Wu Wanli, Pinghe, and others reached the top of the mountain, they immediately began setting up machine gun and mortar positions.

Wu Wanli looked around and suddenly noticed a steel cable.

A steel cable connects to another mountain peak, and a cable car suspended from it can go directly up the cable.

That hilltop happened to be the location of the US military's main firepower point!

"Even if we take down the main firing point a minute earlier, we could save several soldiers from dying!"

"Brother Balong, do you have any explosives?"

"Give me one! It'll be very useful!"

Wu Wanli suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he asked.

"Have!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Balong handed Wu Wanli a bomb-like object.

"it is good!"

Wu Wanli picked up the explosive charge and tied it directly to the cable car.

"Wanli, are you going to use this to take down the main gun emplacements of the American devils' first line of defense?"

Pinghe glanced at it and instantly guessed Wu Wanli's thoughts.

"Yes!"

"This explosive charge flew over, detonated with a single shot, and all three of the American devils' heavy machine guns fell silent!"

Wu Wanli checked the guns and bullets, smiled slightly, and was about to kick the cable car hard.

"Wait, use tracer rounds!"

Pinghe stopped Wu Wanli, took out a bullet, and handed it to him.

"it is good!"

Wu Wanli was slightly taken aback, but then immediately realized what was happening and quickly switched to tracer rounds.

The explosives used by the Chinese People's Volunteer Army were in block form of TNT, which is trinitrotoluene.

This type of explosive charge is low in sensitivity and is difficult to detonate with ordinary bullets.

However, the magnesium powder from the tracer rounds burns at temperatures of 500-600 degrees Celsius, which is more than enough to detonate TNT.

"Go see your God!"

Wu Wanli roared and kicked the cable car hard.

Immediately, the cable car carrying the explosive charge sped along the steel cable and rushed towards the American main gun position.

Just as the cable car carrying the explosives struck the American position, Wu Wanli pulled the trigger hard.
