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

He Yuzhu stayed in the reconnaissance battalion for five days.

In just five days, he went on a killing spree in the camp.

He went through all the training subjects: shooting, hand-to-hand combat, cross-country running, reconnaissance, demolition, communications...

Each one is the top priority.

It wasn't a narrow victory; it was a crushing defeat!

Wang Dazhuang was convinced, and all the veteran soldiers in the entire platoon were convinced as well.

That afternoon, Li Tie urgently summoned the entire battalion to the parade ground.

"Listen up, you all!" Li Tie's roar echoed across the playground.

"The division headquarters just issued a direct order: in three days, our reconnaissance battalion will be deployed to the Korean battlefield!"

A loud "buzz" erupted across the playground, instantly causing an uproar.

Some people were so excited their faces turned red, some were so nervous their palms were sweating, and many more clenched their fists, their eyes blazing with anger.

"But!" Li Tie's tone shifted, his voice turning cold.

"Not everyone can go!"

"The division headquarters only allocated us one reinforced platoon, forty-five men!"

"This afternoon, the entire battalion will engage in live-fire combat! The top forty-five performers, come with me to the battlefield and feast!"

"The rest of you, stay behind!"

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up.

Here comes, finally here!

Li Tie continued to announce the rules: "The drill is very simple. The entire battalion will be divided into two teams, red and blue. The blue team will defend, and the red team will attack."

"Blue Team's objective: hold Hill 3 on the back mountain. Red Team, do everything in your power to take it!"

"Time: Two hours!"

"The losing team has priority to stay behind, understand?"

He scanned the room, paused, and then suddenly called out names.

"He Yuzhu!"

"arrive!"

"You, captain of the red team, lead twenty men in the attack!"

The entire audience erupted in uproar, and the veterans' eyes all changed.

Appointing a greenhorn who's only been here five days ago as the assault team leader? Is the battalion commander kidding?

Li Tie's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he scanned the crowd: "Anyone who disagrees, step forward now!"

No one dared to utter a sound.

Just then, Wang Dazhuang suddenly took a step forward.

"Reporting, Battalion Commander! I'm requesting to be the captain of the Blue Team!"

Li Tie smiled, a smile that held a profound meaning.

"Alright! You take the rest of the men and go defend the high ground."

"Remember my words, the loser will only be left to guard the house!"

Half an hour later.

He Yuzhu stood at the foot of the back mountain with twenty soldiers.

He looked up at Hill 3. It wasn't high, but the terrain was extremely complex, making it a classic example of a hill that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The area in front is an open field with no cover; whoever charges in becomes a sitting duck.

The left and right sides are steep slopes, covered with gravel and bushes.

A direct assault is no different than feeding kills to the enemy.

"Captain, how do we fight this?" a soldier whispered as he approached.

He Yuzhu did not answer immediately.

He closed his eyes, and the "King of Soldiers" engine in his mind started up at lightning speed.

A 3D map is generated instantly, and all data streams, including enemy and friendly troop strength, firepower points, and defensive blind spots, are analyzed within three seconds!

He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"Divide into three groups!"

"First group of five, feign an attack from the front, draw all their firepower to me!"

"The second group of ten men will take a detour along the steep slope on the left, sneaking up to the mountainside and lying in ambush!"

"The third group of five, follow me to the right!"

"Wait for my signal, fire from all three sides simultaneously!"

The soldiers looked at each other, completely bewildered.

"Captain, that slope on the right... it's almost 70 degrees, it's not even fit for a human to climb."

He Yuzhu curled his lips into a sneer and said, "That's why they're even less likely to be on guard."

"Execute the command!"

Ten minutes later.

"Bang bang bang!"

The feint attack began, and five soldiers, carrying rifles loaded with blank rounds, charged toward the high ground with shouts of excitement.

On the high ground, a dense barrage of gunfire immediately erupted like popping beans.

Wang Dazhuang lay prone behind the cover, holding up his binoculars, and gave a disdainful sneer.

"That's it? A head-on charge? Has He Yuzhu lost his mind?"

But the next second, he sensed something was wrong.

There was a rustling sound coming from the woods on the left.

"There's someone on the left flank! Suppress them with fire!" He reacted extremely quickly, immediately shouting as he turned his gun around.

Just as everyone's attention was drawn to the left, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the right cliff!

Wang Dazhuang suddenly turned his head and looked, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

He Yuzhu led five people, their movements incredibly agile, and they actually managed to rush up the cliff!

"Holy shit!" Wang Dazhuang's scalp tingled.

That godforsaken place is so dangerous that even monkeys would think twice before venturing there, let alone people!

Not only did they climb up, they did it incredibly fast!

"Stop them! Quickly!" Wang Dazhuang roared hoarsely.

But it was too late.

He Yuzhu performed a tactical roll and charged up to the high ground.

The rifle in his hand seemed to come alive, firing every shot to mark the target.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Three Blue Team soldiers were "killed" in response.

At the same time, the ten people lurking on the left also launched a general attack!

A pincer attack from both sides!

The blue team's formation collapsed instantly.

Wang Dazhuang tried to struggle and organize a counterattack, but a cold gun barrel was already pressed against his forehead.

"You're dead," He Yuzhu said calmly.

Wang Dazhuang was stunned for a full three seconds before finally throwing away the gun with a wry smile and raising his hands.

"I'm fucking...completely impressed."

The drill has ended.

Li Tie glanced at his watch and announced a number.

"Twenty-three minutes."

He looked at He Yuzhu, his eyes full of approval: "You're pretty good, kid."

He Yuzhu stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to the battalion commander, I was lucky."

"Lucky my ass!" Li Tie laughed and cursed, then turned to face everyone, his voice booming.

"Did you all see that? That's what you call tactics!"

"Warfare is based on deception! A feigned frontal attack is the prelude, while a flanking maneuver is the real objective; strike unexpectedly and catch the enemy off guard!"

"He Yuzhu's battle taught all you veterans a lesson! A textbook example of a slap in the face! Brilliant!"

He paused for a moment, then announced the order.

"From today onwards, He Yuzhu is promoted to platoon leader of the first platoon of the reconnaissance battalion!"

"Follow me to the battlefield in three days!"

This time, thunderous applause erupted on the playground.

He Yuzhu remained expressionless, but in his mind he was calling out to the system.

"System, is my current strength sufficient for the Korean War?"

[The host's current combat strength has reached the level of an elite special forces soldier, but the environment on the Korean battlefield is extremely harsh. It is recommended to complete the Chosin Reservoir check-in as soon as possible to obtain an epic-level ability!]

He Yuzhu's pupils contracted slightly.

Changjin Lake... that icy hell where temperatures drop to minus forty degrees Celsius.

He clenched his fist.

That evening.

He Yuzhu lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

My mind was filled with information about the Korean War, especially the Chosin Reservoir.

In that bloody battle against the world's best 1st Marine Division in the extreme cold, countless heroic predecessors were frozen into ice sculptures, yet they still maintained their charging posture.

That was true purgatory.

"Clang!"

The barracks door was pushed open, and Wang Dazhuang walked in carrying two lunch boxes.

"Still not asleep?"

He Yuzhu sat up: "I can't sleep."

Wang Dazhuang handed him a lunchbox: "Eat something, you have to train again tomorrow."

He Yuzhu opened the lunchbox; inside were two snow-white steamed buns and a dish of pickled vegetables.

These days, white flour steamed buns are a precious commodity.

"Your food rations?" He Yuzhu frowned.

"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly." Wang Dazhuang waved his hand, plopped down on the edge of the bed, and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Zhu Zi, I know you're incredibly powerful."

"But the battlefield is not a drill; bullets don't discriminate, and artillery shells are even more indiscriminate."

"Be careful when you get there."

Looking at the veteran he had just "killed" during the day, He Yuzhu's eyes were filled with undisguised sincerity.

"Thanks," he said softly.

Wang Dazhuang grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth: "Don't be polite with me, coming back alive is better than anything else."

He got up and walked to the door, then turned back and added another sentence.

"By the way, I heard that the godforsaken place, Chosin Reservoir, can freeze your urine into an icicle."

Wear more clothes.

After saying that, he closed the door and left.

He Yuzhu looked at the steamed bun in his hand, remained silent for a moment, and then took a big, hard bite.

Three days later, at dawn.

Reconnaissance battalion, assemble.

Forty-five of the most elite soldiers, fully armed, stood on the parade ground, exuding a murderous aura.

Li Tie stood at the very front of the team, his eyes sharp as an eagle's.

"Today, we set off."

"Destination: North Korea!"

"Mission: To defend our homeland!"

He paused, then his voice suddenly rose.

"I have no idea what we'll encounter!"

"But I know we are the Chinese People's Liberation Army!"

"Remember, behind us are 400 million compatriots, our country, and our home!"

"We will never back down!"

"yes!"

Forty-five people roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

He Yuzhu stood at the front of the line, his eyes seemingly burning with fire.

In my mind, the system notification arrived as expected.

[Host detected is about to enter the Korean battlefield!]

[Next check-in location: Frontline positions of the Battle of Chosin Reservoir!]

[Expected Reward 1: Absolute Zero Resistance (Epic)]

[Expected Reward 2: Tiger's Body (Epic)]

He Yuzhu took a deep breath of the cold air.

coming.

The real battlefield.

A true hell.
