Changjin Lake: From Xinxingli to Seoul

Chapter 73 I want both rewards!
"call out--"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The mortar platoon roared as it fired its shells, which landed in front of the Steel Seventh Company.

The brilliant flames burst forth, engulfing most of the American troops in the advance of the Steel Seventh Company.

Even those few who didn't die were finished off by the firepower of Wu Qianli and his men.

far away
"Fuck you!"

"Have you all forgotten the infantry manual?!"

"Take cover! Set up firing positions! Tank fire!"

A U.S. military officer, seeing the unstoppable advance of the Steel Seventh Company, shouted urgently.

Under his orders, the remaining American troops managed to find two light machine guns and one heavy machine gun that were still intact.

Two more American soldiers climbed onto the machine guns mounted on two tanks and opened fire on the Steel Seventh Company.

One of the tanks had its gun barrel damaged by shrapnel and high temperatures.

With only one tank still capable of firing, it slowly turned its cannon, aimed it at the position of the Steel Seventh Company, and then fired suddenly.

"Bam—"

With a muffled thud, the tank jolted backward as the shell spun and flew toward the Steel Seventh Company.

"boom!"

A tremendous roar erupted, and two soldiers from the Seventh Steel Company were blown away, while another soldier was seriously injured and collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, American soldiers also took cover in the shell craters, unleashing a hail of bullets at the Steel Seventh Company.

"Scatter and lie down!"

Upon seeing this, Wu Qianli quickly called out.

"Company commander, based on the firepower, the Americans have about one company of soldiers left!"

Pinghe observed for a moment and then offered a reminder.

"Company commander, one company is nothing. We might win if we just charge!"

Gao Daxing shouted.

"No, the casualties will be too high, it's not worth it!"

Mei Sheng shook his head at Wu Qianli.

"The instructor is right, the Seventh Steel Company doesn't need to sacrifice lives anymore!"

"Conceal your fire! Wait for the artillery platoon to take out the American strongpoints before attacking!"

Wu Qianli gave the order loudly.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company also took cover in the shell craters and began exchanging fire with the American troops.

....................................

Inside the air raid shelter
"The sounds of 155mm howitzers and mortars have been heard!"

"The two sides are currently exchanging fire!"

Yu Congrong picked up the machine gun and said.

"The Seventh Steel Company has launched an attack, let's go too!"

Wu Wanli raised his gun.

"Ding--"

"The host is about to face a battlefield decision."

"System activation selected!"

"Option 1: After clearing the American troops from the trenches, snipe at least five American soldiers and one American officer on the position!"

"Choose Reward 1: A small quantity of urgently needed battlefield medicines such as penicillin, sulfonamides, and morphine! (Will be directly sent to your system space)"

"Choose Reward 2: Super God-Level Luck Boost Trial Card! (Valid during the Little High Ridge Battle)"

"Option Two: After clearing out the American troops from the position, launch an attack on them, and join forces with the main force of the Steel Seventh Company to flank the American troops and kill at least ten American soldiers!"

"Choose Reward 1: One US Military Communications Radio! (Distributed to system space)"

"Choose Reward 2: God-tier Agility Boost Trial Card! (Valid during the Little High Ridge Campaign)"

Soon, the system's cold notification tone finished playing.

"Penicillin, isn't that penicillin?"

"Sulfonamides, a powerful antibacterial agent, prevent wound infection."

"Morphine, a pain reliever, can relieve the pain of seriously wounded soldiers."

"But the radio is too important. With a radio, we can keep communications running at all times, so that communications personnel like Niu Qiang don't have to take risks..."

As Wu Wanli rushed out of the air-raid shelter, his mind raced.

"Wait, this choice is different from the previous ones."

"Previously, given the choice between going to Xiaogaoling first or Shuimen Bridge first, there was definitely only one option that should be chosen first, right?"

"Given the choice between killing the polar bear commander on the spot and capturing him alive, it's impossible to kill him on the spot and capture him alive at the same time, right?"

"But this time, it seems that both options can be... accomplished together!"

"System, I choose one and two!"

With this in mind, Wu Wanli thought to himself, "Let's take a gamble."

"Ding--"

"System prompt: If there are any situations where the selection cannot be completed, the system will go into sleep mode. Are you sure you want to select multiple options?"

The system's cold voice issued a notification.

"It really works! I'm sure!"

A hint of joy flashed in Wu Wanli's eyes, and he immediately thought to himself.

"Ding--"

"Host selection complete. Radio and penicillin sulfonamides, etc., have been distributed!"

As soon as the cold system notification sounded, Wu Wanli immediately felt the extra reward items in the system space.

"Wanli, a few American devils have climbed up from the trench; they must have just taken cover from the artillery fire."

After observing, Yu Congrong turned to Wu Wanli and said.

"Alright! We'll take care of the few American soldiers who climb up the trenches in hand-to-hand combat later."

"That way, the American troops below will expose their backs to us!"

Wu Wanli fixed his bayonet, finished speaking, and jumped into the trench.

"it is good!"

Yu Congrong nodded and followed Wu Wanli into the trench.

At this point, aside from those who were killed directly by the bomb, only five combat-ready American soldiers remained in the trench.

They were all taking out medicine to treat several other wounded American soldiers.

Upon seeing this, Wu Wanli carefully reached behind a black American soldier and quickly covered the soldier's mouth.

"Well--"

The American soldier's eyes widened, and he quickly raised his hand, about to elbow Wu Wanli.

However, at that moment, a chill ran down his neck, and hot blood splattered onto the face of the wounded soldier in front of him.

"Let's die together!"

Wu Wanli threw the black man in his hand to the ground, and then stabbed the wounded American soldier in front of him several times with his dagger.

The American soldier, already bleeding and injured, suffered a ruptured heart and quickly died, his head lolling to the side.

"What?!"

At that moment, an American sergeant in the trench heard the commotion and immediately dropped the wounded soldier he was holding, reaching for his gun.

However, at that moment, Wu Wanli quickly rushed forward and swiftly and cleanly killed the American sergeant with a single stabbing.

On the other side, Yu Congrong was also killing in a similar way.

Soon, the two of them had cleared all the American troops from the trenches.

"Wanli, the US troops are suppressed by the firepower of the Steel Seventh Company and dare not get up."

"No wonder no one has come up while we've been killing people."

Yu Congrong looked down and gave a reminder.

"I'll help the Seventh Steel Company take out the firing point first."

"After I fire two shots, your heavy machine gun should immediately open fire and kill American soldiers!"

As Wu Wanli spoke, his right eye was already observing through the scope.

"it is good!"

Yu Congrong set up the machine gun and aimed it at the densest concentration of American troops below.

At this moment, within Wu Wanli's field of vision.

A white American soldier, his face flushed, was frantically firing at the Steel Seventh Company with a machine gun mounted on a tank, the ammunition belts shaking violently.

"die!"

Wu Wanli aimed the crosshairs at the American soldier's head and pulled the trigger hard.

"boom!"

With a sharp gunshot, a cloud of blood mixed with brain matter exploded at the American soldier's head.

The American soldier slumped weakly against the machine gun, and the machine gunner came to an abrupt halt.

At the same time, Yu Congrong picked up a machine gun and began firing at the American troops.

"Da da da da da da..."

A hail of bullets rained down on the American soldiers, and a single burst claimed the lives of three or four of them.

At the same time, Wu Wanli's crosshairs quickly shifted to the head of the machine gunner on another American tank.

"boom!"

Another shot rang out, and the American machine gunner was also killed.

In a shell crater
"Shit!"

"There are also Chinese troops on the position behind us!"

A U.S. military officer picked up his submachine gun, fired a burst of bullets in Yu Congrong's direction, and shouted loudly.

"Good opportunity!" Wu Wanli quickly moved the muzzle of his gun to the left and pulled the trigger again.

"boom!"

The bullet spun and pierced the head of the U.S. officer, causing panic among several U.S. soldiers nearby.

"Sir!"

"There's a sharpshooter there!"

A U.S. Army sergeant exclaimed in surprise and quickly picked up a grenade launcher, aiming it in Wu Wanli's direction.

However, before he fired, Wu Wanli had already aimed the crosshairs at the grenade in front of the U.S. sergeant's chest and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

A tracer bullet pierced through the snow and wind, and miraculously struck the detonator of the grenade.

The luck boost is godlike, it's just that amazing.

"boom!"

With a violent explosion, countless armor-piercing shrapnel, carrying immense potential energy, tore through the flesh of American soldiers, killing them instantly in the crater.

"Ding--"

"Sniper mission complete!"

"Remaining offensive mission!"

The system's cold notification tone sounded again.

"The sniping is done, now it's time to attack!"

Wu Wanli looked at the American soldiers in the distance and loaded bullets into his gun.

At that moment, a barrage of shells ripped through the sky and hurtled towards the American troops once again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A barrage of artillery fire swept across the area, primarily targeting the US military's firing positions.

Some U.S. machine gunners were killed instantly in the explosion.

Some American machine gunners were even blown away along with their machine guns, which were sometimes broken in two.

"The artillery platoon has finished its work, it's our turn!"

"Comrades of the Seventh Steel Company, charge with me!"

Wu Qianli picked up his gun, roared, and leaped up, charging towards the American troops.

"kill!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company fearlessly leaped up and charged towards the American army's formation.

At the same time, Wu Wanli and Yu Congrong also rushed out of the position with their guns.

"Boom - boom!"

The American tanks unleashed their power once again, firing a shell that killed several more soldiers of the Steel Seventh Company.

However, after firing that shot, the American tanks didn't move at all.

However, judging from the fact that the tank hatches were opened and the US tank crews came out to join the battle, it seems that they were out of ammunition.

"A godlike luck bonus? Who cares about that?"

As Wu Wanli charged forward with his gun, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"kill!"

Wu Wanli was not surprised for long; while running, he raised his gun and began firing.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

During the high-speed, bumpy ride, three bullets were fired rapidly.

Except for one that went astray, the other two bullets killed two American soldiers.

At that moment, three American soldiers in a shell crater turned around and pointed their guns at Wu Wanli.

"not good!"

Wu Wanli panicked and quickly dove into a shell crater.

"Da da da da da da da..."

At that moment, a series of bullets struck the spot where Wu Wanli had just rolled, kicking up a cloud of dust.

After entering the crater, Wu Wanli, panting heavily, counted a few seconds, pulled the pin on a grenade, and threw it at the American soldiers.

"Watch your hands..."

A U.S. soldier was looking at the grenade in mid-air and was about to give a warning.

"boom!"

The grenade exploded in mid-air, shrapnel scattering like a shower of flowers, instantly killing several American soldiers.

Taking advantage of the cover of grenade fire and smoke, Wu Wanli, bayonet in hand, charged into the American ranks at top speed.

Before long, Yu Congrong also followed Wu Wanli to his side, protecting his side and rear.

the other side

"Comrades!"

"Only a company that can fight with bayonets can truly be called the Iron Seventh Company!"

"Kill me!"

Wu Qianli roared and charged into the densely packed American troops, bayonet in hand.

"kill!"

Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company gritted their teeth and charged towards the American troops.

On the slopes of Xiaogaoling, a brutal hand-to-hand battle began.

The soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company, in groups of three, fearlessly engaged the American troops in bayonet combat.

Snowflakes, like wildly dancing white butterflies, fluttered down onto the vast battlefield.

Between heaven and earth, it seemed that only this unrestrained purity remained, intertwined with the cruel dark red.

The American soldiers and the soldiers of the Steel Seventh Company clashed on the snow, creating brief but intense moments of life and death.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the snow was stained with patches of red.

The main force of the Steel Seventh Company at Wuqianli had a great advantage from the very beginning of the hand-to-hand combat, and continued to compress the space of the American troops.

Meanwhile, Wu Wanli and Yu Congrong were surrounded by several American soldiers. Relying on their skillful fighting techniques, they risked their lives to carve out a bloody path and rejoin the Steel Seventh Company.

Thrust, pluck, sudden thrust, continuous thrusts...

Wu Wanli used the simplest and quickest methods to reap the lives of American soldiers.

Yu Congrong, standing beside him, was responsible for blocking the American sneak attack and supporting Wu Wanli.

When they joined up with Wu Qianli and others, it meant that the US military had been completely breached, divided into two parts, and defeat was inevitable!

Ten minutes later, all the American soldiers were killed.

There was no cheering, no celebration.

Almost all the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company sat down heavily on the red snow, letting the snow fall on them, and panting heavily as they rested.

Only Wu Wanli and a small number of soldiers remained, struggling with their exhaustion as they cleaned up the battlefield.

"Company commander, the comrades are all exhausted."

Mei Sheng glanced at the soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company and said.

"That's an entire US Army battalion!"

"During the day, in a direct firefight, they could withstand the attack of an entire division of our Volunteer Army!"

"If it weren't for Wanli's ingenious plan to lure us in and the subsequent artillery counterattack, our Steel Seventh Company would be lying on the ground right now..."

He Changgui clutched his abdominal wound and spoke weakly.

In fact, according to the course of history, the Third Company here should have been completely wiped out long ago.

By this time, the US military had already opened up a southward retreat route and was withdrawing to the rear.

"Blood……"

"Deputy Company Commander, you're wounded."

"Medicine, bring the medicine quickly!"

Gao Daxing looked at He Changgui's abdomen and said anxiously.

However, only wind and snow responded to him.

"We're running out of medicine..."

"We're running out of bandages..."

"We just sent people to prioritize cleaning up the medicines, but they're all used up..."

Wu Qianli had just applied the last bandages to the seriously wounded soldiers when he said this with a pained expression.

"Not just that, Company Commander."

"We lack radios, so we're like blind men, unaware of even the specific changes in the battle situation and intelligence."

"We can't possibly send someone across the artillery barrage every time we need to contact our superiors, can we?"

Mei Sheng sighed and said.

"Without means of communication and without medicine, am I supposed to just watch my comrades from the Seventh Steel Company die?!"

Wu Qianli's eyes were slightly red, and he shouted with resentment.

"It hurts so much, it hurts so much!"

"Help me, please help me!"

"Please..."

Not far away, a soldier from the Seventh Steel Company clutched his wound and cried out in pain.

"You silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Just hang in there, just hang in there..."

Lei Gong's lips trembled slightly, and he advised with a face full of reluctance.

"elder brother!"

"I found a treasure while cleaning up the battlefield!"

At this moment, Wu Wanli, carrying a dark radio and a medicine box, ran over with a smile and said.
