Shiji, in the command room

The boss took a deep breath, looked at the battle map on the table, and tapped his fingers.

The Chief of Staff Xie on the side was also rubbing his temples, thinking about whether there were any mistakes in the battle situation.

Although it was already midnight, they couldn't sleep at all, after all, the battle of Changjin Lake had reached the last moment, and the victory or defeat would soon be known.

"Eh, I don't know how Wu Qianli's rabbit cub is going......

The boss looked across the battlefield on the front line, and finally stopped at the Watergate Bridge on the east line of Changjin Lake.

"Don't worry, this kid is very tigery, he should be able to succeed."

Chief of Staff Xie was comforted on the surface, but in fact, he was also very worried in his heart.

They all know very well that in this big game of chess, only the last piece of Watergate Bridge is missing.

Once it successfully falls, the entire chess game will instantly become fierce, and the American troops on the Eastern Front can only be brutally strangled.

"By the way, boss, speaking of this kid Wu Qianli, I have read the special forces manual he gave me recently, and I think it is very prescient."

"But the situation of special forces is special, we have to give a certain honor and status, otherwise it is easy to chill the soldiers."

Chief of Staff Xie pinched his chin and said in a low voice.

"Lao Jie, just say what you think, don't beat around the bush."

The boss smiled slightly and waved his hand to explain.

"Boss, our army needs a military rank system, which can not only solve the status of special forces, but also play a commanding role on the battlefield."

Chief of Staff Xie hesitated for a moment and analyzed seriously.

In fact, the military rank system has long been not an uncommon thing, during the Beiyang period, China already had military ranks, and the West was even earlier.

The military rank system plays a great role in battlefield command, because in the melee, there is often a phenomenon that the troops and commanders are scattered, and many soldiers are like headless flies, scurrying around.

With military ranks, even if they are not directly subordinate troops, they can quickly establish temporary command according to the rank of the troops, effectively ensuring the order of the battle.

However, in history, the military rank system was not implemented for the first time until 1955, and it did not play a role on the Korean battlefield.

"The military rank system, the central government may have planned it a long time ago, or let's call a suggestion or two, but these will have to wait until this battle is over."

The boss thought for a moment, nodded slightly, and returned his gaze to the combat map.

"Boss! Mister! Seventh, interspersed with calls!"

At this time, Secretary Liu rushed into the command room excitedly.

The guards at the door couldn't help but smile at each other when they heard the words "Seventh Interspersed Company".

At first, they had the idea of blocking, but now they are used to Secretary Liu's intrusion.

"Read!"

The boss looked as usual on the surface, but he was already a little apprehensive in his heart.

"At 4 a.m. on December 6, 1950, the 7th Interspersed Company successfully captured the Watergate Bridge and was about to complete its blow-up!"

Secretary Liu quickly said the contents of the telegram, and his lips trembled slightly with excitement.

"Good, good, good!"

The boss looked at the Watergate Bridge on the map excitedly, praised it three times in a row, and finally let go of the boulder in his heart.

"Boss, it's time to close the net."

A hint of murderous aura flashed in Chief of Staff Xie's eyes, and he said slowly.

"Telegraph to Song Shilun, ask him to speed up the pace of the attack, chase me hard, and annihilate this US army group at all costs!"

The boss clenched his fist in his right hand and slammed it on the command table, his eyes full of domineering.

He seems to have seen that the battle of Changjin Lake will become a wonderful start to the battle for the founding of the country, and will let the world powers hear the roar of New China. …………………………

Unlike the excitement in Shiji's command room, MacArthur, who was at the headquarters of the Allied forces in Japan, was in a terrible mood.

"How the hell did those idiots mess up such a good situation like this......

MacArthur stood with his hands in his hands,

Standing in front of the military sand table and looking at the situation on the battlefield in Korea, I couldn't help but be angry.

He had just re-enacted the trend of the battlefield, and in his opinion, the results of the Volunteer Army simply did not conform to the normal logic of war.

The U.S. army, which had an absolute superiority in strength, should have divided and surrounded the light infantry corps of the Volunteer Army and completely crushed it.

However, the concealment of the volunteers was too strong, and their reconnaissance flights seemed to be blind, flying round after round, but they could not find them.

But as soon as the night came, the volunteers would appear like ghosts, deal them a heavy blow, and then move quickly.

Forget about these, MacArthur admitted it, but he couldn't understand the squadron called the Seventh Interspersed Company.

How could such a small company-sized force capture Smith alive and defeat the polar bear regiment.

I couldn't figure it out, MacArthur didn't bother to dwell on it, so he simply slowly picked up the coffee, trying to maintain the last trace of decency.

"Oh, God willing, at least the Watergate Bridge is still in our hands."

"As long as this lifeline of retreat remains, the Eastern Front Army Group can still maintain its formation and march to Xingnan Port, and under the cover of aircraft carriers, our young men will definitely be able to evacuate safely."

"When the time comes, we will have a chance to mobilize heavy troops and completely crush these ghost armies!"

MacArthur thought, a hint of hatred flashing in his blue eyes, and even the knuckles of his fingers holding the coffee cup turned slightly white from the exertion.

After all, as a legendary American general, he had never suffered such a great humiliation.

Even in the Pacific Theater, in the face of the Japanese army, which also had a tenacious will to fight, he never suffered such a big loss.

"General! The general is not good!"

A U.S. military staff officer barged in with a panicked look on his face, still holding a telegram in his hand.

「Fuckyou！ You are an American soldier, and you need to stay sober and calm in the most critical of times!"

MacArthur's initial fantasy of revenge was interrupted, and he immediately scolded with anger on his face.

「yes，sir！ General, I'll pay attention to it in the future."

The U.S. staff officer seemed to realize his gaffe and bowed his head in response.

"Well, let's talk about it, what's going on, if it's another battle report of heavy losses on the front, don't bother me."

MacArthur sighed and shook his head helplessly, he was almost numb to this kind of telegram.

"It's not this, General, don't worry."

"The Watergate Bridge has been lost, and it seems that the Group Army of the Eastern Front of Changjin Lake is about to face the fate of being completely annihilated by the Cheng Formation, and it is estimated that it will never send a telegram to bother you in the future."

The US staff officer was silent for a moment, but still told the real situation.

"Bang-"

In an instant, MacArthur's coffee cup fell to the ground, and hot coffee splattered everywhere.

「Shit！ Those damn idiots, they can't even hold the Watergate Bridge, and yesterday they were embarrassed to ask me for ice cream!?"

MacArthur grabbed the staff officer by the collar and almost broke down in a rage.

"General...... Cold...... Quiet ......"

The U.S. military staff officer reminded without tears.

Finally, MacArthur came to his senses and let go of his staff, his eyes darkening.

"General, the soldiers of the Eastern Front Army are still in danger, what should we do next?"

The U.S. military staff officer rubbed the bright red strangulation marks and asked cautiously.

"Leave it to the General Staff, I'm tired, let me rest for a while......

MacArthur waved his hand weakly, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old.

「yes，sir！」

The US staff officer sighed, but he didn't dare to say more, so he had to take the order to retreat.

Soon, the Allied General Staff drew up a plan for Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to build steel bridge components overnight and quickly support the Korean battlefield by helicopter airlift. …………………………

Right in the U.S. military

When desperately trying to rescue the Eastern Front Army, the 7th Interspersed Company was trying to block the way of life for the American troops on the Eastern Front.

"Report to the company commander, the explosives have been placed according to the three-fold equivalent, ensuring that even the foundation of the Watergate Bridge can be blown to ashes!"

After Lei Gong finished his work with the artillery platoon, he excitedly ran to report to Wu Qianli.

"Blow up the bridge!"

Wu Qianli took one last look at the Watergate Bridge, which was stained black and red by blood and gunsmoke, and shouted with a wave of his hand.

The soldiers of the artillery platoon received the order, their eyes lit up, and they immediately detonated the explosives of the Watergate Bridge.

"Boom!"

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Boom ......"

In an instant, a continuous cloud of fire rose up, and a huge shock wave spread violently, and several soldiers who were in front of them almost fell.

The hillside was trembling slightly, countless sand shimmers flew into the air, and in the dark night, the explosion was like an orange sun, blooming with dazzling light.

After a long time, the explosion stopped, the snow near the Watergate Bridge was melted away by the high temperature, and the ears of the people in the 7th Interspersed Company were still buzzing.

"I'm a good girl, Lei Gong, are you trying to blow up the ground?"

Yu Congrong rubbed his sore ears and sighed in surprise.

"Anyway, there are a lot of shells and explosives in the ammunition depot of the American devils, and most of us can't take them with us, so we don't have to use them in vain."

"Hmph, I'd like to see how the American devils can fix the bridge this time."

Lei Gong looked at the Watergate Bridge that was completely blown up, and smiled proudly.

In fact, the Watergate Bridge was blown up three times in total, but it was not bombed enough before and was quickly repaired by the U.S. military.

So for the sake of insurance, Lei Gong simply came to a saturation blast to prevent the US army from repairing the bridge again.

"Don't talk too much, maybe the American devils really have a way."

Wu Qianli looked at the excited crowd and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Brother, this bridge is about to be blown to pieces, and by the time the American devils repair it again, our Ninth Army will have already completed the encirclement."

Wu Wanli looked at Wu Qianli and asked suspiciously.

"Company commander, what do you think the American devils have to do with it, and how do we crack it?"

Mei Sheng saw that Wu Qianli was worried, and couldn't help asking.

The people of the Seventh Interspersed Company also put away their smiles and looked at Wu Qianli seriously.

In their hearts, Wu Qianli was almost deified, others said that they didn't believe it, but Wu Qianli's worries must have a reason for him.

"You saw all the U.S. helicopters when you attacked Xiajieyu last time, right?"

Wu Qianli thought about it and said slowly.

"Company commander, that thing can go straight up and down, it's very flexible, and I feel that it is very effective for fire support and anti-sniper."

Pinghe thought of the advanced helicopters of the US military and couldn't help but say with emotion.

"Yes, but he's more than that."

"Think about it, if the American devils use a team of helicopters to directly airlift the iron lumps that build bridges quickly, then ......

Wu Qianli looked in the direction of the Japanese island, frowned, and sighed slowly.

According to the memories of his previous life, the U.S. military finally manufactured steel structure components through Mitsubishi Heavy Industries overnight, and directly airlifted them to the Korean battlefield, successfully repairing the Watergate Bridge.

When Mei Sheng, Lei Gong and the others heard this, they glanced at each other, and their expressions became solemn.

Although they don't quite understand the specific operation, if the U.S. military really has a way to quickly repair the bridge, then the battle of the Watergate Bridge that they fought so hard will be meaningless.

"Company commander, if the American devils can really do this, we only have two choices left."

"Or, we will build a position, defend the Watergate Bridge, and hold back the large US troops, but if we fight like this, we ......

Mei Sheng said, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, in this way, the Seventh Interspersed Company must be completely annihilated, and there is no possibility of survival at all.

And even if they are all wiped out, they may not be able to stop the retreat of the US military.

"Grandma's, no

Manage, fight, Lao Tzu has fought so many battles, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to meet the king of Hades!"

Yu Congrong understood what Mei Sheng meant, so he picked up the Browning heavy machine gun and shouted loudly.

"Don't be impulsive, don't we have another choice?"

Wu Qianli patted Yu Congrong on the shoulder, looked at Mei Sheng, and motioned for him to continue.

"Company Commander, the second option is actually more difficult, we have to find a way to find a transportation route for the American Devil Bridge components."

"Then they attacked while they were about to be halfway through the transport and destroyed all their bridge components, so that the American devils would not be able to repair the bridge."

Mei Sheng said and sighed in embarrassment.

For the 7th Interspersed Company, this was an almost impossible task.

No matter how tragic the defense of the Watergate Bridge is, at least they are easy to implement and there is not much tactical difficulty.

However, destroying the bridge components, how can they know the transportation route of the US military, such a core intelligence, can not be obtained in a short period of time.

And if they want to sneak attack, they must know the location in advance so that they can go and arrange one or two.

Just when everyone was sad and didn't know what to do, Wu Qianli's eyes lit up.

Of course, ordinary people can only choose the first option, but he has a dynamic combat map.

Wherever the US troops are airborne, where a large number of transport convoys appear, he will get dynamic signs in his mind, and how easy it will be to carry out a sneak attack when the time comes.

"Lei Gong, is there a large number of incendiary grenades and incendiary grenades in the ammunition depot of the US Army's Watergate Bridge?"

Wu Qianli turned his head to look at Lei Gong and asked excitedly.

"Of course, I let the cubs take a lot, enough for us to use for a long time in the future."

"It's not a company commander, why are you asking this thing all of a sudden?"

Lei Gong touched the incendiary grenade on his waist and asked suspiciously.

"Hahahaha, let the comrades have a good rest, tie all the prisoners to the cave in the distance, and send two people to watch."

"When we destroy the steel bridge components, these violently burning things will come in handy!"

Wu Qianli smiled and took out a camel brand cigarette and said with a smile.
