The battle in Xinxingli has ended, on the battlefield, Pinghe is sitting on the scorched earth with a gun, still rubbing his bullet casing, Lei Gong took Wu Wanli to clean up the artillery of the US army, the two are like scavenging, Lei Gong's eyes suddenly lit up, and shouted Wu Wanli: "Wanli, Wanli, come here." ”

Wu Wanli looked left and right, "What kind of cannon is this?" So small. ”

Lei Gongle said: "Mortar, the caliber is not big, but it is easy to carry, even if the cannon is captured, we can't pull it away, this kind of small cannon is just suitable, I will teach you how to dismantle." ”

"Hey."

Wu Wanli put the gun behind his back, and he didn't shout to go into battle to kill the enemy.

Yu Congrong carried seven or eight guns behind him, rummaged through the corpses of the American soldiers, turned his head and saw Xia Yuan bending over, using a rope to tie the clothes of the American soldiers, and then looked at his side, good guy, there are six bundles of military coats tied alone, and there are seven or eight bundles of cotton clothes.

He walked over and hurriedly said, "What clothes do you want, you want guns!" ”

Xia Yuan tilted his head, glanced at him, looked at the gun behind him, and shook his head, "It's enough to have a gun, but the cotton clothes are the most precious." You also go and help me take it off, for better or worse, tie it up like this, and let the regiment headquarters pull these cotton clothes away. ”

Yu Congrong stared at a pair of cowbell-sized eyes.

Xia Yuan straightened up and took a breath, and said: "Someone will pick up the gun, it's better to get cotton clothes, it's okay to contribute to us when they die, many soldiers are still wearing single clothes, they beat us, it's good that we don't whip the corpse, hurry up and take off your clothes." ”

Yu Congrong put down the gun on his back, grabbed a corpse of a US soldier, neatly took off their military coats, and his eyes stayed on the clothes inside: "What is this, so hard to the touch?" ”

Xia Yuan glanced at it, then retracted his gaze and said, "Body armor." ”

"What's that? Body armor? Is it really bulletproof? ”

Yu Congrong's eyes widened again, and he touched and touched it a little lovingly.

"If it's really bulletproof, he won't lie on the ground."

Xia Yuan stripped off the clothes of the American soldiers, took off their shoes and socks together, turned his head in disgust, hugged him in his coat, took some food from them, and handed it to Yu Congrong: "Taste it, good thing." ”

Yu Congrong took it: "Is it chewing gum?" ”

Xia Yuan was stunned for a moment: "You want to eat chewing gum?" ”

Yu Congrong put the food into his pocket, nodded and said: "That's not it, that thing is delicious to eat, chewy, you can keep chewing it in your mouth, spit it out and put it in your mouth for a while and you can chew it, after you shared it last time, many soldiers like to eat that thing." ”

Xia Yuan thought for a while and put down the clothes in his hand: "I'll look for it, you ask the soldiers to pick up more clothes, change what should be changed, don't freeze on such a cold day." ”

Yu Congrong glared at him, "You kid, you are the platoon commander, I am the platoon commander?" ”

Xia Yuan's dark skin showed a mouthful of big white teeth, and he said with a smile: "You are you, you are." ”

After saying that, he turned around with his gun on his back and went to find chewing gum for the soldiers.

Yu Congrong looked at Xia Yuan's back, tied up the clothes in his hand, and found Wu Qianli.

Wu Qianli was counting the casualties of the Seventh Company with Mei Sheng, and both of them had gloom on their faces, fighting in Xinxingli, and the casualties of the Seventh Company were very large.

Yu Congrong sat beside Wu Qianli, distributed the food that Xia Yuan handed him to Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng just now, and said to Wu Qianli: "Company commander, the deputy platoon commander has died, I'm wondering if I want Xia Yuan to be the deputy platoon commander." ”

Wu Qianli put down the booklet in his hand, turned his head to look at Yu Congrong, and said in a deep voice: "The instructor just mentioned it to me, but I didn't expect you to mention it to me, there are many comrades who died in this battle, the deputy squad leader sacrificed three, the squad leader sacrificed two, the deputy platoon leader sacrificed two, and the platoon commander sacrificed one, and the idea of me and the instructor is to let Xia Yuan be the platoon leader of the second platoon." ”

When Yu Congrong heard this, he nodded and said: "This is okay, Xia Yuan's combat ability has been seen by everyone in the past few days, it is absolutely no problem to be a platoon commander, I will call someone to gather." ”

Wu Qianli hurriedly pulled Yu Congrong, "What's the panic, now that the battle has just ended, let the soldiers rest and collect supplies by the way, the U.S. military has bad things on them." ”

Yu Congrong smiled and nodded: "Hey! ”

Mei Sheng looked at Yu Congrong's back: "Yu Congrong, this kid, is happier than when he was the platoon commander." ”

Wu Qianli squinted and said: "This kid has a lot of eyes, but then again, Xia Yuan has been very brave in these battles, blowing up the armored vehicles of the US army, the firepower point, clean and neat, reducing the casualties of a large number of soldiers, instructor, you record this kid's affairs, and then hand it over to the division headquarters together with the heroic deeds of some soldiers of the Seventh Company." ”

Mei Sheng nodded: "Don't worry, I've already recorded it." ”

"Huh! Great stuff! ”

Xia Yuan rummaged through the corpses of the American soldiers, stuffed all the delicious food into his pockets, and did not let go of cigarettes, many soldiers in the company were old smokers, loved to smoke, and brought them to smoke.

I cleaned up almost the wall, found a ruined wall, sat on it, took out the food to fill my stomach, and my heart sank into the system.

"The battle in Xinxingli is over, and it stands to reason that the mission has been completed?"

There was no movement in the system, in fact, as early as the 27th, after killing McClain and seizing the military flag, Xia Yuan thought that the task was completed and he could return, but in fact, there was no movement in the system, he opened the system again this time and carefully examined the task of the system.

[Mission: Complete the Battle of Changjin Lake/Watergate Bridge!] 】

"Watergate Bridge!?"

Xia Yuan's eyes sank slightly, and he seriously recalled the Battle of Watergate Bridge, the Battle of Watergate Bridge was also one of the battles of Changjin Lake, since the US troops in Liutan and the US troops in Xiajieyu converged, the US troops began to evacuate to Gutuli, and before the evacuation, the US Air Force airdropped 327.7 tons of supplies to the US troops in Xiajieyu and transported away more than 4,500 wounded.

According to the strength of the US Air Force, it is completely possible to directly airlift the 1st Marine Division away, but they did not do so. This involves a problem that has been difficult to solve since ancient times, and that is the question of who will stay behind and break the future.

Later, when the 1st Marine Division retreated, they blocked the high ground between Gutuli and Xiajieyuli with artillery fire, and they had to shoot out all the shells that could not be taken away when they left.

The Watergate Bridge, a bridge over a hydropower station between Gutuli and Zhenxingli, is the only way for the 1st Marine Division to retreat, as long as the bridge is blown up, it can block the route of the US army's retreat, and the volunteers responsible for blowing up the bridge may never have imagined that their opponent, the US military, has something they have never seen in their lives.

After blowing up the U.S. Bridge for the third time, the volunteer soldiers who were responsible for besieging Gutuli saw an unforgettable scene, eight C-119 transport planes each hoisted a heavy 1.1-ton M2 steel bridge and dropped it, which happened in the Battle of Changjin Lake in 1950, the U.S. Army built a steel bridge on the Watergate Bridge, and the volunteer soldiers at this time no longer had the ability to bomb the Watergate Bridge, and could only watch the U.S. troops pass through the Watergate Bridge.

Xia Yuan was eating, falling into deep thought, blowing up the Watergate Bridge three times, all of which were repaired by the US military, how could he rewrite history? He fell into deep thought, racked his brains to think, only to find that there was nothing he could do, no way to rewrite the history that had already happened.

Is it necessary to bomb the Watergate Bridge four times? Obviously, it is impossible, the U.S. military airdropped the M2 steel bridge directly into the ancient soil, and waited until the U.S. military arrived at the bombed-up Watergate Bridge, and directly erected the steel bridge, and the U.S. military retreated smoothly.

There were troops blocking the road on the road, but they all failed, and the American troops used aircraft and artillery to open the way from time to time during the retreat along the way.

According to what he understood, when the American troops retreated, they divided the artillery into two groups, one group advanced, and the second group covered the bombing in the rear, and waited until one group arrived at the designated position, one group took over the second group, and the second group moved forward instead. The two artillery groups alternately covered the retreat of the 1st Marine Division, constantly firing shells at the high ground on both sides of the road, which was accompanied by bombing and machine-gun fire from the US Air Force.

None of the blocking units were able to complete the blocking of the enemy, because most of the units responsible for blocking were a company and less than a squad, and there were almost no blocking units above the battalion level.

After the 1st Marine Division successfully evacuated the Watergate Bridge, the 20th Army's 58th Division and the 60th Division hit all the combatable soldiers, a total of more than 100 people, and continued the pursuit under the leadership of the chief of staff of the 60th Division.

The events that took place on the Watergate Bridge kept flashing through my mind, not counting the two ice companies that happened on the highlands north of the Watergate Bridge and on the 1081 Heights.

The Battle of Changjin Lake was too tragic.

Xia Yuan thought carefully, but he couldn't find a way to stop the 1st Marine Division, the equipment of the Volunteer Army was backward, the logistics supply was poor, and it was pursued on two legs, while the 1st Marine Division was a complete mechanized force, and there were aircraft and artillery to cover the retreat, even if he stood in God's vision, a human from the future, he could not win this war with his own strength.

"Who is the company commander Wu Qianli!"

At this time, a voice was heard from the ruins in the distance, Xia Yuan raised his head and looked at the source of the sound, and saw a soldier holding a document and quickly passing through the ruins.

He quickly got up from the rubble, walked over quickly with a gun, and saw Wu Qianli standing up and shouting loudly from a distance: "I'm Wu Qianli!" ”

"The division is calling! Here are the files! ”

The signal soldier quickly came to Wu Qianli's side, and after saluting, he stuffed the documents on his body to Wu Qianli, and after Wu Qianli saluted, he saw the signal soldier leave, and sat next to Mei Sheng, "The division headquarters called, what is the urgent task." ”

Mei Sheng said: "Open it and take a look." ”

Wu Qianli opened the file, glanced at it, his eyes were slightly condensed, and handed the document to Mei Sheng.

After reading it, Mei Sheng muttered, "Xiajieyu..."

"Give us half a day to rest and recuperate, interspersed with the lower corners." Wu Qianli took a bite of what he ate, got up and looked at the soldiers of the Seventh Company who had already leaned over, and shouted, "Gather the Seventh Company!" ”

The team was quickly assembled, and only eighty or ninety people remained in the seventh company of more than 100 people, and several combatants were lost in the first platoon of firepower, and the other squads and platoons had varying degrees of losses.

Wu Qianli looked at the blackened faces of the soldiers, silenced the demand, and said, "Pack up your equipment, replenish your ammunition, and get ready to go!" ”

"Yes!"

The echo of the soldiers shook the sky, and after it dispersed, the soldiers went to replenish ammunition on the spot, and the battle in Xinxingli eliminated a regimental combat team of the US army, seized a large number of weapons and ammunition, and the soldiers of the seventh company basically replaced the weapons and equipment of the US army, and the weapons and equipment of the US army were highly accurate, which was much better than the Wanguo brand they took.

Mei Sheng found Wu Qianli and asked him, "Why didn't you tell me about Xia Yuan just now." ”

Wu Qianli said: "Let's wait until we find an opportunity on the road, let the soldiers slow down first." ”

Mei Sheng thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said is also right." ”

Wu Qianli turned his head and asked, "How are your eyes?" ”

Mei Sheng rubbed his eyes and said, "It's not in the way, it's smoked." Hurry up and pack your gear, Watergate Bridge... It is estimated that there is still a fierce battle. ”

Wu Qianli said with a heavy heart: "The battle in Xinxingli has just ended, and we are about to rush to Xiajieyuli." ”

Mei Sheng said with a smile: "Okay, you are also an old company commander, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth." We have won such a difficult battle in Xinxingli, and no matter how difficult the next battle is, we can still win it. ”

He added, "Pack your things." ”

Wu Qianli turned his head and said, "Bring more food." ”

Mei Sheng nodded: "Got it." ”

The gathering just now sounded the alarm for Xia Yuan, and he felt more and more that it was imminent to go to the Watergate Bridge.

"It was getting late, the fighting in Changjin Lake became more intense, and the Watergate Bridge also became an important passage on the retreat route of the US army, and it also became a battleground between the volunteers and the US army."

Xia Yuan carried the gun on his back to pack up the bullets, and the eight bullets were a whole, filling all the places that could be stuffed with bullets on his body, and when he arrived at the Watergate Bridge, it was estimated that it would be another fierce battle.

The U.S. military is not stupid, naturally knows the importance of the Watergate Bridge, and will send heavy troops to guard the Watergate Bridge. However, in fact, the first time to bomb the bridge was unusually easy, the volunteers easily touched the bottom of the bridge, successfully completed the first bombing of the bridge, the second bombing of the bridge, the US army's defense was relatively strict, after a fierce battle, the volunteers successfully bombed the bridge, the third bombing of the bridge was more difficult, the US army arranged a large number of tanks and artillery on the high ground on the side of the Watergate Bridge, and placed a large number of searchlights and warning posts on the bridge for night vigilance.

Until the third bombing of the bridge was completed, everyone thought that the U.S. military could no longer repair the bridge, but they never thought that the U.S. military directly airlifted a steel bridge.

The Seventh Interspersed Company did not stay in Xinxingli for a long time, and soon packed up its equipment and set off in the direction of Xiajieyuli, and at the same time, the task of the Ninth Corps had also been issued, and the combat troops of Xinxingli quickly went to Xiajieyuli and Liutanli to reinforce the blocking troops.

Xia Yuan checked the equipment, raised his head and heard Wu Qianli shouting: "Yu Congrong!" ”

Yu Congrong raised his head and ran over and asked, "What's the company, commander." ”

Wu Qianli turned around and said: "The correspondent of our company has died, and there are not many people who can use the radio, so you can take the radio first." ”

"Yes." Yu Congrong put the radio on his back and asked, "Company commander, are we going to Xiajieyuli?" I heard that there is an airfield of the US military over there, and it bombed the airfield of these foreign devils, so let's see how they run. ”

Wu Qianli said: "The U.S. army is retreating now, we have to hurry up and chase it, it's getting dark, tell the soldiers to rest and rest, light a fire and cook, and set off after four hours of rest!" ”

"Yes!"

Yu Congrong saluted and went back to deliver the news with the radio on his back.
