Siheyuan: I, Shazhu, started out as an army and became a general.

three days later.

The Battle of Chosin Reservoir has reached its climax.

The Chinese People's Volunteer Army and the U.S. 1st Marine Division engaged in a fierce tug-of-war in this icy and snowy land, with casualties on both sides rising rapidly.

He Yuzhu barely slept for the past three days and three nights.

Like a tireless lone wolf, he led his reconnaissance squad, sneaking behind enemy lines time and again like a ghost, precisely striking American supply lines and command posts.

Every mission brought back invaluable intelligence.

Every action made the enemy pay a bloody price.

The name "Tiger He" was already widely known among the Chinese People's Volunteer Army!

At the same time, it also became a fearsome code name in the US military's communication channels.

That afternoon, Chief of Staff Zhao summoned He Yuzhu to the command post.

"Tiger He, I have a momentous mission." Chief of Staff Zhao pointed to a location marked with a red circle on the map, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Breaking intelligence: Lieutenant General Walker, Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. Eighth Army, will be visiting the front lines today."

"His temporary command post is right here!"

He Yuzhu's gaze fell on the map, and his pupils contracted slightly.

Lieutenant General Walker!

One of the highest-ranking U.S. military commanders throughout the Korean War!

If we can take him down... the impact on the entire battle will be revolutionary!

"The higher-ups' intention is to find an opportunity to eliminate him," Chief of Staff Zhao said in a low voice. "But this mission is extremely risky, so I won't force you. The decision is yours."

He Yuzhu remained silent for three seconds.

Then, he uttered two words.

"I'll go."

Chief of Staff Zhao was visibly taken aback: "Are you sure? There's at least a regiment of American troops there, and they're elite troops protecting the command post!"

"It's alright." He Yuzhu's tone was frighteningly calm. "I'm not going to attack any strongholds."

"I'm going to arrest someone."

Chief of Staff Zhao looked into his calm, still eyes, then suddenly laughed and punched him on the shoulder.

"Good! As expected of Tiger He under my command!"

He paused, then lowered his voice: "You'll choose the people for this operation yourself."

"One is enough," He Yuzhu said.

"Who?"

"Wang Dazhuang".

That night.

He Yuzhu and Wang Dazhuang, like two shadows blending into the night, silently left the position.

They were all wearing white snow camouflage suits, speeding through knee-deep snow.

"Captain... Captain, are there only two of us?" Wang Dazhuang followed behind, his voice trembling. "Are you kidding me? That's the US military command post!"

"That's enough." He Yuzhu said without turning his head. "Too many people will make too much noise."

Wang Dazhuang swallowed hard.

He knew his captain was incredibly fierce, but this mission was just too crazy!

Two people, to take down the US military headquarters and capture the commander-in-chief alive?

Isn't this just handing over your head?

But he didn't dare ask another question.

Since we've joined He Laohu's group, we might as well entrust our lives to him and just do it!

A 20-kilometer forced march through the snow.

It only took them four hours to reach the ridge near the US military command post.

This was a temporary command post hidden in the valley, surrounded by sentries, both visible and hidden, and crossfire points. Several blinding searchlight beams in the sky, like the eyes of gods, mercilessly scanned every inch of snow.

He Yuzhu lay prone in the snowdrift and raised his binoculars.

In the center of the command post was a two-story building, with at least a platoon of fully armed guards standing outside, all of them looking very spirited.

On the rooftop, antennas and radar are operating.

"Captain, how do we get in? Even a fly can't get in," Wang Dazhuang muttered under his breath.

He Yuzhu put down his binoculars. In his mind, the "King of Soldiers Engine" had already converted all the visual information into data, and countless combat routes were instantly generated, simulated, and optimized!

Three seconds later, he arrived at the unique solution.

"wait."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait until dawn."

Wang Dazhuang was stunned.

"Dawn? Wouldn't that expose us completely and make us easy targets?"

He Yuzhu glanced at him, a cold smile curving his lips.

"High-level hunters often appear as prey."

"Our goal is not to storm the command post."

"We're waiting for Walker to come out on his own."

Wang Dazhuang suddenly realized.

Yup!

Attacking the command post head-on would be suicidal, but if we wait for Walker to leave and launch a surprise attack on the way, the success rate will be maximized!

The captain really opened up a new perspective this time!

The two lay motionless in the snow, like two snow sculptures.

The extreme cold of minus forty degrees Celsius made Wang Dazhuang's teeth chatter, and he felt like his blood was about to freeze.

But He Yuzhu, standing beside him, remained calm and even closed his eyes to conserve his energy.

Six o'clock in the morning.

Dawn broke.

The command post door opened, and a squad of U.S. soldiers came out to change shifts and patrol.

He Yuzhu opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

He raised his binoculars again and locked the command post door tightly.

Ten minutes later.

A tall man with gray hair, dressed in a general's uniform, walked out of the small building surrounded by a group of guards.

Lieutenant General Walker!

"It's him."

He Yuzhu put down his binoculars and slowly pulled out the captured M1903 Springfield rifle, equipped with a 4x scope, from his pocket.

He lay prone in the snow, raised his gun, and aimed.

Distance: 800 meters.

Wind speed: 5 meters per second, northwest wind.

Temperature: minus forty degrees Celsius.

All the ballistic correction data flashed through my mind.

He took a deep breath and lightly placed his index finger on the trigger.

But he did not fire.

Because Chief of Staff Zhao's order was "If there's an opportunity, take him out," while his own mission was to capture him alive!

Kill him, one shot to the head is all it takes.

Capturing him alive increases the difficulty factor tenfold!

He Yuzhu's crosshair slowly moved down, not aiming at Walker's head or heart.

Instead, they focused on the humming, independent generator tucked away in a corner of the command post area!

That place is the "heart" of the entire command center!

If we blow it up, the light will be instantly swallowed by darkness.

And darkness is his best cover!

The next second, He Yuzhu pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

A muffled gunshot rang out, the bullet tearing through the cold air.

Eight hundred meters away, the generator exploded!

"boom--!"

A huge fireball shot into the sky!

The entire U.S. military command headquarters instantly fell into a deathly silence, darkness, and chaos!

"Enemy attack!"

"Protect the General!"

The guards were instantly thrown into chaos, instinctively surrounding Walker and raising their guns to keep watch.

But it was too late.

At the same moment the generator exploded, He Yuzhu was ejected like a cannonball!

The snow exploded beneath his feet, leaving a white afterimage as he hurtled toward the chaotic center eight hundred meters away at inhuman speed!

A guard had just turned his gun around.

He Yuzhu's figure was already close like a ghost, and a simple straight punch landed squarely on his opponent's face.

The guard didn't even utter a sound before fainting on the spot.

Another guard rushed in from the side.

He Yuzhu didn't even bother to look, and with a backhand, he delivered a powerful elbow strike, accurately hitting the opponent's temple.

The guard's eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, two well-trained elite guards were taken down instantly!

Walker, being a seasoned general, reacted extremely quickly.

The moment he was attacked, he drew his Colt pistol from his waist and aimed it at the charging shadow, ready to fire.

But He Yuzhu's speed was even faster than his nerve reaction!

They came from behind but surpassed others!

With a ruthless and decisive grab, a crisp "crack" was heard, and Walker's wrist was broken!

"ah--!"

Walker let out a piercing scream, and the pistol fell from his hand to the ground.

He Yuzhu picked up the pistol and pressed the cold muzzle against Walker's temple.

He let out a low growl in broken English:

"Shut up and come with me if you want to live!"

Walker's face was ashen, and the excruciating pain made him tremble all over, but he could only grit his teeth and nod in terror.

Without another word, He Yuzhu grabbed Walker by the neck, using him as a human shield, and rushed into the darkness.

"Protect the General!"

The American soldiers finally realized what was happening and began firing their guns.

"Bang bang bang!"

Bullets rained down like rain.

But fearing the consequences, they dared not fire in Walker's direction!

Just then, a series of violent explosions suddenly came from afar!

"Boom! Boom!"

It's Wang Dazhuang!

As planned, he began to create chaos on the periphery to draw the fire of the US military!

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, He Yuzhu, with Walker in tow, charged into the vast snowfield like a tiger descending a mountain.

Behind them, the roars and chaotic footsteps of countless American soldiers relentlessly pursued them.

"Chase! Don't let him get away!"

(Chase him! Don't let him get away!)

He Yuzhu didn't turn his head back.

His figure, carrying a tall "trophy," quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.

A perilous escape behind enemy lines has only just begun!
