Chapter Fifty-Seven: Difficult Choices
"Poofโ"
With the muffled sound of a bayonet entering the flesh, Wu Qianli didn't know that it had been the first time that the American army had been defeated so neatly.
"Now the fighting there is gradually stopping at the first line of defense of the US army, and without the cover of gunfire, we also try not to sound gunfire, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Wu Qianli wiped the blood splashed on his hands with his clothes, looked at Pinghe, and said slowly.
"Don't worry, company commander, comrades are very cautious, but the U.S. army should have almost killed the rout, so shouldn't we join Yu Congrong next."
Pinghe looked at the corpses of several American soldiers who fell to the ground, and said with a little worry.
"Indeed, it is time to join forces and move on, lest there be too many nights to dream."
Wu Qianli frowned, looked at the sky that was about to turn into daylight, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, in fact, although this battle was fought beautifully, it did delay too much time.
When Wu Qianli mobilized the small combat map in his mind and wanted to find Yu Congrong's location, he found that the dynamic map showed that the two armies were rapidly approaching, and they were not very far away from their location.
"Report to the company commander, our scouts have found the location of the friendly troops, it is on our northeast side, only 10 minutes away, but near them, there is an unknown force, which is rapidly approaching."
At this time, a soldier of the reconnaissance platoon under his command hurriedly ran over, panting and saying, apparently reporting the news as quickly as possible.
"Continue to send two people to keep an eye on this force, but be careful not to find anything particularly serious, and don't act rashly, so as not to startle the snake."
Wu Qianli immediately made a decision and decided to send people to keep an eye on them first, and at the same time let the soldiers of the other reconnaissance platoons move one after another, approaching at the speed of a rapid march in that direction.
Pinghe touched the bullet that had just been captured in his arms as he walked, although he didn't understand what the situation was, but he understood Wu Qianli's intentions.
If this is a group of U.S. troops, then it is also a good choice for them to come from behind, and in this dark night, put on a posture that will flank them on both sides and create chaos for them.
However, although Wu Qianli did make such a plan, he still frowned, looking at the sky worriedly, if he could choose, he still didn't want to fight at this juncture.
We will leave aside the huge sound of gunfire that will result from this fight, but at the current point in time, once they are dragged out and hit into daylight, the US reconnaissance planes will immediately discover them, and even if they have great ability, they will not be able to escape the wanton and indiscriminate bombing of the planes.
In addition, this is the middle hinterland of the two lines of defense of the US army, how can they tolerate the existence of unstable factors of such a force, I am afraid that it will not be long before countless troops will be sent to jointly strangle them, encircle and annihilate them.
"Why do I always feel that something is wrong with this matter, even if the remaining troops of the American army are gathered together, it is impossible to have such a number."
"And if it's a new U.S. military coming to lurk for an ambush, how can they show up now? The battle is almost over. โ
Just as Wu Qianli was pondering, the reconnaissance platoon had already approached the front of this suspicious force through a rapid march.
However, what Wu Qianli didn't expect was that this army, which had captured the weapons and equipment of the U.S. Army and the steel helmet uniform, actually showed such combat effectiveness.
In addition, the night was long, and such a sudden force scout did not dare to get close to observe, which caused everyone's misunderstanding, thinking that it was other US troops.
On the other side, the soldiers of the volunteer prisoner camp were also thinking about their current situation with puzzled faces, obviously, they were not in the dark of night from the perspective of God of a small dynamic map like Wu Qianli, and they had just been freed, and now they were obviously a little confused.
"Instructor Wang, aren't we going to support the comrades of the Volunteer Army? Why now we seem to be surrounded. โ
Hu Dajun, who temporarily served as the platoon leader of the reconnaissance platoon of the volunteer prisoner camp, pinched his chin and asked with a little doubt.
"Oh? surrounded, how many enemy troops are in what position? How is the firepower equipped, and has there been any sign of our friendly forces. โ
Although Instructor Wang was detained by the US military for a long time, when he returned to the battlefield, he still kept a clear head and asked a series of key questions.
"Our people don't dare to get too close, and it's too dark, so I can't see clearly."
"The main thing is that the rout of those American troops has almost been annihilated, and the gunfire has stopped, but suddenly a wave of troops rushed out behind our butts, I really don't understand why."
Hu Dajun rubbed his dark face, which was frozen, and blinked his eyes the size of mung beans, he couldn't figure it out, so he simply set his eyes on Instructor Wang.
"Now that we don't know who we are, no matter what, stay vigilant first, let the comrades load the bullets and prepare for the worst."
Instructor Wang kept his volunteer soldiers vigilant and also told them not to shoot unless absolutely necessary.
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the distance, and some chaotic situations appeared, Instructor Wang immediately frowned when he saw it, and walked over quickly to check the situation.
When Instructor Wang approached, his eyes widened instantly, and he saw a familiar figure, but he was not sure if he had confessed his mistake.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, you quickly put down the muzzle of the gun, the gun in our hands is used to fight the American devils, where is there any talk about targeting our own comrades."
I saw that it was the iron bull under Yu Congrong, who was shouting loudly at the top of his voice, for fear that the swarthy muzzles of the guns pointed at him would accidentally wipe the guns and die in the hands of his own people, which would be really too embarrassing.
It turned out that the people of the 7th Interspersed Company had already decided to fight to the death, and they were not willing to leave 5,000 miles behind.
But at this moment, Yu Congrong suddenly remembered the volunteer prisoner camp he saved, which might be the armed force formed by the weapons they had captured.
However, Yu Congrong didn't dare to pack the ticket, so he simply let Tie Niu, who had already dealt with the volunteer prisoner camp and met him, desperately arrive at the reconnaissance with a few soldiers from the firepower platoon.
And the volunteers here saw them sneakily touching them, and thought that the enemy was about to shoot, if it weren't for the yellow skin of Tie Niu and the fluent Chinese, they didn't pull the trigger in disbelief.
At the same time, there were also some people in the army who recognized Tie Niu and hurriedly helped explain, so it seemed a little confused, and then Instructor Wang came to check, and this was the scene just now.
"In that case, the troops in front are the men of your 7th Interspersed Company, and the men in the back are the enemy troops?"
Instructor Wang was very vigilant at first asked his soldiers to turn the focus of defense backwards, and at the same time sent people to observe close like Tie Niu, and finally learned that it was Wu Qianli and Heping of the Seventh Interspersed Company.
The three troops, who had figured out the situation, all breathed a sigh of relief, lowered their guards, and merged into one force, resting in place, enjoying this rare moment of peace.
"Brother, it's okay if you're okay, I just got rid of that hard bone at that time, we all went to chase the rout, but I didn't expect you to take the reconnaissance platoon to fight the U.S. army again, and then suddenly disappeared, I thought something happened to you."
Wu Wanli looked at his brother who had returned safely, and couldn't help but rush up, hugged Wu Qianli fiercely, and at the same time hammered his back with his fist, laughing and saying how many enemies he had killed.
"Company commander, I went to rescue our friendly prisoners first according to our battle plan, and then rushed to the battlefield to support you in a hurry.
Yu Congrong crossed his hands and said half-jokingly, of course, he was happy to win the battle, but it made some of the firepower platoon soldiers under his command feel a little unhappy.
"The fighter on the battlefield is so wonderful, you kid can't find the pit, it's all to blame our company commander for, it's obvious that you are too slow, hahaha."
Mei Sheng laughed and joked, and at the same time gave the horns to the US military cigarettes, one by one to the people nearby, everyone had become accustomed to holding them, and lit the cigarettes with the matches that the US military had snatched.
For a while, the snow was full of smoke, and several old smokers gathered together, smoking cigarettes, and laughing about the battle.
Only Instructor Wang took it a little awkwardly, listening to the people of the seventh interspersed company talking about him colorfully.
The hands that wiped the matches were a little unstable, and he accidentally broke the match, but fortunately, the sharp-eyed Wu Qianli found out about his state, and hurriedly helped him light it, and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
However, the current Instructor Wang is like a bad student in the class, in front of a group of eugenics, with them facing the answers to this exam, the eugenics are all smiling, how simple the finale question is, and he can only laugh awkwardly.
"It's too bullying, why did they defeat the U.S. army by beating the American devils like chopping melons and vegetables against the national army, but I was unlucky, and accidentally became a prisoner of the U.S. military, alas."
Instructor Wang thought in his heart, and sighed secretly, he was already a little shocked when he heard that Wu Qianli with more than two platoons of troops gave almost twice the American army a chance to himself.
When he heard that Wu Qianli dared to disguise himself as the US military with dozens of people, approaching the US military reinforcements three times his size, he looked at the sky in a daze, even put the cigarette aside, and gently massaged his walnuts with his fingers, wondering what was wrong with the world.
In the end, when he heard that Wu Qianli was surrounded by the US army with such a little reconnaissance platoon soldiers, he also defeated the US army in a counter-assault, and finally ate all the American devils, he was already a little numb, so he simply laughed twice to hide the embarrassment in his heart.
"Instructor Wang, try this cigarette, anyway, it's all American ghosts who know that they don't smoke for nothing, although they don't fight well, but these tobacco and alcohol gadgets are still doing well."
Wu Qianli also understood at this time that it was the constant talk of the crowd that gave the commander of the friendly army some pressure, so he simply changed the topic a little and invited Instructor Wang to continue tasting the cigarettes of the US army.
"Oh, I'm smoking, smoking, you say, I'm listening."
Instructor Wang smiled and nodded to 5000 miles, and then picked up the cigarette that had just been put aside in a hurry, opened his mouth and continued to smoke.
"Hiss~"
I saw that when Instructor Wang put the cigarette into his lips, he suddenly threw the cigarette to the ground, and then gasped, it turned out that he didn't pay attention to take the cigarette upside down, and the hot cigarette butt just burned his lips.
Seeing the embarrassment of the prince's party members now, the people of the Seventh Interspersed Company did not continue to talk about the process of the battle, but asked them about their situation in the US army with some sympathy.
"Come, Instructor Wang, and Brother Hu Dajun try Meijun's canned luncheon meat, don't think about the bad things before, and fight more American devils to vent your anger in the future."
Yu Congrong was very proud to take out the two cans of luncheon meat that he treasured from his arms and distributed them to them, and at the same time, Wu Qianli also beckoned his soldiers to share some of the captured food with them.
"Okay, then thank you, comrade, I'm not welcome to be greedy."
Hu Dajun took the can, pried it open directly with a bayonet, and ate it in a big gulp.
Instructor Wang looked at the slightly embarrassed wolf appearance of his subordinates, but he didn't feel ashamed, but looked at them distressedly, and at the same time thanked Wu Qianli and the others again and again.
"These American devils are too much, but it's okay, you are free now, and you don't have to suffer that anger anymore."
Wu Qianli said as he watched as these friendly volunteer soldiers were all wounded, and some of them had bruises on their faces and purple bruises and were frantically eating the food in their hands.
"Actually, to be fair, the U.S. military didn't treat us very well at first, but the basic treatment of prisoners didn't hurt us."
Instructor Wang thought for a moment, and did not say that the US troops were extremely murderous in all aspects because they were enemies, but talked about the situation very calmly.
"It wasn't until we were escorted by this group of American troops that we saw that we were getting farther and farther away from the battlefield on the front line, and we knew that if we didn't resist again, I was afraid that we would have no chance in the future."
"So we launched riots again and again, and these American troops became impatient with us, and some bad incidents occurred."
Speaking of this, Instructor Wang seemed to think of those comrades who had sacrificed, and there was a hint of sighing in his tone.
Even Hu Dajun, who was eating canned luncheon meat, slowed down, and there was a hint of sadness in the atmosphere in the air.
Seeing this, the joy of the victory on their faces gradually faded, and they were replaced by silent and fierce cigarettes in their hands.
Which unit did not have a dead comrade, the notebook in Wu Qianli's arms, I don't know how many names to add this time.
The cold wind was still as merciless as a knife, cutting the faces of the volunteer soldiers, who did not dare to make a fire for fear of being discovered by the enemy.
So they could only huddle together, rubbing their hands together in the water mirror, trying to stretch out some warmth, while some of them were overworked, leaning on their companions' bodies and falling asleep with their heads tilted.
Wu Qianli was also exhausted, but he did not rest, but shrank aside, frowning, thinking about the detailed direction of the next step and the battle plan.
However, at this time, he saw that Instructor Wang and his subordinate Hu Dajun looked at Wu Qianli with some hesitation, as if they were afraid of disturbing him, but they were looking for him for something.
"Instructor Wang, if there is anything, just say it, anyway, there is no one else here, they are all their own comrades."
Wu Qianli was also a little embarrassed to be stared at by them, so he simply called them over to find out what the situation was.
"Company Commander Wu, the bravery and fierce combat effectiveness of your seventh interspersed company, we have also seen this time, and thank you very much for saving us, that ......"
Instructor Wang first showed a smile, praised Wu Qianli first, and opened his mouth at the same time, as if he was embarrassed to say something.
"We are all comrades of the Volunteer Army, fight the American devils together, rescue you, and we will have more fighting strength, what is there to thank for, and if you have anything to say, how uncomfortable it is."
Wu Qianli looked at the two of them, and seemed to vaguely guess what they wanted to do, but he still pretended not to know at all and asked.
"Oh, Instructor Wang is a literati, he just loves to beat around the bush, in fact, we just want to merge into your Seventh Interspersed Company and go with you to fight American devils."
Hu Dajun, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, couldn't help it when he saw this situation, so he simply opened his mouth to make things clear, and at the same time looked at Wu Qianli with expectant eyes.
"This ...... I need to think about it. โ
When Wu Qianli heard this, he was stunned for a moment, Jingguang had already been mentally prepared, but now he couldn't make up his mind for a while.
"Ding--Detected the host's current situation, the system has automatically dispatched two bright sword missions for the host to choose from."
Just as Wu Qianli pinched his chin and hesitated, a cold system prompt echoed in his mind, interrupting his thoughts.
However, Wu Qianli was not irritated at all, and he just wanted to see if the system could give him some hints.
"Bright Sword Task One, agree to the request of Instructor Wang and others, intersperse this group of volunteer soldiers in the region, and in a short period of time they have run in, within 20 days, you must achieve the results of annihilating twice as many enemy troops as yourself, and you will get a high reward from the system after completing the task."
"Bright Sword Task 2, take advantage of the existing conditions, give Instructor Huang and others some guidance, and divide a small number of troops to merge, and use them as the second sword to penetrate the rear of the enemy army, and you will get a special reward from the system after completing the task."
