Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 33, 7th Company: Mechanized Tank Company!

Chapter 33, Seventh Company, Mechanized Tank Company!
Almost every U.S. military tank has a "safety door" on its bottom.

This is because tanks might be hit and catch fire during combat, requiring the American soldiers inside to climb out.

However, if one were to come out from the top, one would easily be wounded by the guns and cannons of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.

Therefore, opening a door at the bottom of the tank can increase the chances of escape and protect the lives of tank crew members.

This gave Wu Wanli the opportunity to achieve extraordinary feats!

After placing the explosive charge at the escape door of the tank chassis, Wu Wanli quickly crawled out and ran desperately to a safe distance.

"boom!"

With a muffled explosion, a burst of fire appeared at the bottom of the tank, and countless fragments exploded.

The escape hatch at the bottom of the US tank was instantly blown apart, and a dark hole directly exposed the US tank crew.

Just then, the smoke from the rocket explosion dissipated.

"Sir!"

"The Chinese have crawled under the tanks!"

The U.S. military observer saw Wu Wanli's extremely fast figure through the observation scope and exclaimed in surprise.

"Shit!"

"The bottom escape door has been blown open!"

"Warning! The Chinese are trying to get through from the bottom..."

U.S. tank commanders typically reach for their rifles while shouting.

However, at this moment, the black muzzle of Thomson's gun was exposed through the hole blown open at the bottom of the tank.

"Go to hell!"

Wu Wanli roared and pulled the trigger hard.

“De de de de de de de…”

A burst of rapid, dense gunfire rang out, bullets ricocheting wildly inside the cramped tank.

The tank crew inside had barely reacted when several holes, dripping with bright red blood, appeared all over their bodies.

All of the US military's armored forces were wiped out by Wu Wanli!

"Wanli, well done!"

"We took out three American tanks that night!"

Yu Congrong looked at the broken-down American tank and exclaimed with a smile.

"Oh no! Pinghe is in danger! Go help her!"

Wu Qianli frowned as he looked at Pinghe, who was being besieged by two American soldiers near the tank.

Pinghe was initially relying on his skilled thrusting techniques to barely manage to cope.

However, another American soldier suddenly appeared behind him and grabbed him by the neck with a gun.

Two other American soldiers raised their bayonets and stabbed Pinghe hard into his body.

"Surround and attack? Get out of my way!"

Wu Wanli roared, raised the butt of his Thompson rifle, and slammed it down on an American soldier.

"what!"

With a scream, the American soldier's blood mixed with brain matter splattered out.

As Wu Wanli slammed into the American soldier on the left, he also kicked the American soldier on the right in the waist with deadly force.

The American soldier groaned and fell to the ground, his bayonet slipping from his hand.

"Hey!"

Wu Wanli raised his Thomson rifle and fired a single shot at the American soldier on the ground. A pool of blood splattered up, and the American soldier died instantly.

At this moment, Wu Qianli also rushed over, his bayonet fiercely stabbing at the American soldiers holding Pinghe, and then quickly drawing his sword.

"Shit!"

The American soldier cursed in despair, instantly released Pinghe, clutched his bleeding chest, and collapsed heavily.

"Pinghe, are you alright?"

Wu Qianli helped Pinghe up and asked anxiously.

"I got a bite on my leg from an American soldier's bayonet, but it's nothing serious!"

Pinghe gasped for breath and said.

"This is a medical kit we seized from the American devils. Brother, bandage Pinghe up first."

Wu Wanli handed the medical kit to Wu Qianli and then rushed back to the battlefield.

With US tanks out of service for so long, the US military gradually realized that the tank problem had been solved.

The soldiers of the Sixth Company had already fixed their bayonets and joined the battle.

With the added threat of Wu Wanli's killing spree, morale plummeted to rock bottom.

Before long, the remaining American troops dropped their weapons and surrendered without hesitation. For the American troops, fighting to this point already made them brave and fearless combat heroes.

Pinghe was also bandaged up at this time, which fortunately did not affect the march.

"Clean the battlefield!"

Wu Qianli glanced at the American soldiers kneeling in surrender, a hint of disdain in his eyes, and gave the order.

"Yes!"

Yu Congrong responded loudly and led his men to collect and count the confiscated items. The count was completed in no time.

"Reporting, Company Commander!"

"Thirty-six large eight-shot rifles and four Springfield rifles have been seized!"

"Two Browning light machine guns, three M3 submachine guns, and four Thompson submachine guns!"

"In addition to two bazookas, and... the tank captured by Wu Wanli!"

As Yu Congrong finished speaking, he shouted with considerable pride.

"Okay!"

"Company Commander Wu, your brother is not only exceptionally strong in combat, but he can also devise ingenious disguises for ambushes!"

"It will surely become a major weapon for your Seventh Company on the Korean battlefield in the future!"

Ji Chungeng was completely convinced and looked at Wu Wanli with admiration, wishing he were one of his own soldiers.

"Company Commander Ji, don't praise this kid too much."

"He dares to shoot down airplanes and fight tanks alone. Once he's in the air, who knows what he'll do next."

Wu Qianli said, half worried and half proud.

"Brother, I won everything, and we even captured a bunch of American weapons."

"If we fight another battle, we can arm the entire company with American weapons!"

Wu Wanli smiled slightly and said nonchalantly.

"Yes!"

"Yu Congrong, did you collect all the weapons from this ambush into your own company?"

"You didn't leave any for our brother units at all, that's not fair!"

Upon hearing Wu Wanli's words, Wu Qianli suddenly realized what was happening, lightly kicked Yu Congrong, and asked.

"Company Commander, it was Company Commander Ji who said that we contributed the most and helped them complete the mission, so he gave them all to us."

Yu Congrong hugged a machine gun tightly and said with a rather aggrieved expression.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……"

"He's right, that's what I said. Just give some cotton-padded coats and combat boots to our Sixth Company."

"After all, the weather in North Korea is too cold, not as good as in China."

Ji Chungeng rubbed his frozen hands and said with a smile.

"Company commander, what about these tanks and troop carriers?"

"It's a bit of a shame to blow it up like this, but we don't have that many people who know how to operate it!"

Yu Congrong walked over to the tank, touched the thick cannon barrel, and said with reluctance.

"Brother, when Yu Congrong was cleaning up the battlefield just now, I had Lieutenant Miller, the translator, find a few American soldiers who knew how to fight."

"We can just hold those American soldiers hostage and drive. It's still dark, and there's no immediate threat."

Wu Wanli looked at the sky and said.

"Okay!"

"Company commander, didn't Lei Gong and the others leave first?"

"If we get on tanks and troop carriers, we can catch up with them faster!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Congrong's eyes lit up.

"Alright! Let's hurry while it's dark!"

"Comrades of the Seventh Company, get on the vehicles and tanks!"

"Let's make our Seventh Company a mechanized tank company for once!"

Wu Qianli couldn't help but feel excited and loudly gave the order.

"Yes!"

The soldiers of the Seventh Company responded loudly and climbed onto the troop carriers or tanks with great joy.
