Wearing dramas starts from Changjin Lake

Chapter 29 The Brilliant Johnson

The soldiers of the Ninth Company were very envious of the equipment of the Seventh Company, and they all guessed that the Seventh Company must have been lucky and caught a big fish on the road.

Tan Ziwei looked at the ten mortars and ten bazookas brought by the artillery platoon, and instantly felt that their third battalion and ninth company were raised by their stepmother.

"Grumbling..."

But at this time, Li Yongsheng's stomach was rumbling with hunger.

He hadn't eaten all day, and now it's time for dinner, his stomach suddenly growled repeatedly, making his face flushed.

Father Lei walked by casually, took out a box of half-eaten canned food and stuffed it into his hand: "Eat it, beef, it's delicious."

Li Yongsheng swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and looked at Tan Ziwei.

"Look at what I'm doing. If it's for you, you can take it."

When Tan Ziwei said this, his throat rolled slightly. Although he was a little far away, he could already smell the aroma of beef.

Wu Qianli took out a box of canned food from his backpack and handed it to him: "The Seventh Company seized a total of 100 boxes, and I will give you one to try."

100 boxes of canned food, still made of beef, it smells delicious just thinking about it.

The surrounding Ninth Company soldiers swallowed their saliva after hearing this.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Seventh Company took out their cans and shared them with the soldiers of the Ninth Company.

After breakfast, Mei Sheng looked at the reconnaissance map on the ground and said, "Tan Battalion Commander, are you really planning to assault the enemy's headquarters?"

Tan Ziwei took a few mouthfuls of canned beef, and his pale face turned a little bloody: "Raid the enemy headquarters, captured their commander, and forced the American troops guarding the bridge to surrender."

Mei Sheng continued to ask: "How sure are you?"

"I wasn't sure at first, but seeing the equipment of your seventh company, now I'm [-]% sure."

Yu Congrong pouted: "Only [-]%?"

"Seventy percent is already a lot. When you Qilian didn't come, I was only less than [-]% sure."

Mei Sheng continued to question: "Even if we capture their commander, will we be able to successfully blow up the bridge?"

Tan Ziwei was silent for a moment, then replied, "No."

Wu Qianli reminded: "This battle is difficult to fight, they will definitely call for reinforcements."

Tan Ziwei asked rhetorically: "Company Commander Wu, tell me, which battle cannot be fought? If it is difficult to fight, it must be fought even more. Our army's strategic deployment has been completed. Cut off their only way of retreat and leave them nowhere to escape. It is the task entrusted to us by our superiors, and it is also our mission!"

After finishing speaking, Tan Ziwei closed his eyes and "slept" in the past.

Thinking that something happened, the people from Jiulian and Qilian all surrounded them.

Gao Fei quickly explained: "Everyone, don't worry, the old company commander just fell asleep. After long-term fatigue and just finished the operation, he is not a real iron man, and he needs to take a good rest."

Only then did the people around feel relieved.

Mei Sheng took the opportunity to ask Wu Qianli: "The battery of the radio station has been frozen, and now I can't contact the headquarters, what should I do?"

According to the order, they came to support the Ninth Company. The main force of the bridge bombing mission is currently the Ninth Company, but the Ninth Company suffered heavy casualties. If the Seventh Company wants to take over and continue to carry out the bridge bombing mission, it must also contact the headquarters.

Wu Qianli crushed out the cigarette butts in his hands: "I think the old plan is feasible, but before getting the next step instructions from the headquarters, the Seventh Company will make preparations in advance for the time being."

"Okay, then I'll go down and make arrangements."

This time, in order to rescue the comrades of the Ninth Company, the Seventh Company sacrificed three soldiers.

The Ninth Company and the Seventh Company collected the remains of the soldiers and wanted to bury them, but it has been extremely cold in recent days, and the soil on this mountain has been frozen, so they can only be temporarily placed at the entrance of the cave.

……

Two kilometers southeast of Xiajieyuli Airport, the headquarters of the [-]st Marine Division of the US Army.

Mario has received the news that the Watergate Bridge was bombed last night.

"Who can tell me what the water gate bridge looks like?"

The intelligence officer wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "According to Captain McGee's report, there was only a small gap in the bridge deck, the size of a car tire."

"That is to say, the car can't pass?"

"Probably... so."

"Repair, let the engineering battalion repair it quickly!"

Mario turned around and looked at a sand table on the table, and said to the commanders of the [-]st Landing Division: "Do you know that the Water Gate Bridge is extremely important, without it, we cannot evacuate our vehicles, tanks and artillery. Once the Watergate Bridge is blown up, we will be trapped here!"

The group of people standing behind him were too scared to speak.

If something goes wrong, someone must take the blame.

"I think that Captain McGee was negligent and paralyzed, and the enemy took advantage of it. I have dismissed him and asked Captain Johnson to go to the Watergate Bridge to perform the task of guarding the bridge."

Mario knew that the morale of the whole division was now shattered, and he had to kill chickens and monkeys to clean up military discipline.Because yesterday, the [-]st Marine Division only walked two kilometers, which is slower than a tortoise.

Currently, Smith is still recovering from his injuries in the rear hospital. Although he is acting as a temporary substitute, he has the final say on the [-]st Marine Division.

……

Johnson Abbott jumped out of a jeep and clattered on the ground of the Watergate Bridge in his shiny boots.

Last night, the enemy attacked here and blasted a hole in one side of the bridgehead with explosives.

After discussions among the chief officers, Captain McGee, the former defender, was dismissed from his post, and Johnson Albert took over the task of guarding the bridge.

So, he came here.

The first thing Johnson did when he got here was to check the bridge deck.

He said to his adjutant Hal Clinton: "The enemy thought it would take us ten days and a half months to repair such a hole. They were wrong. They were all wrong. It only took one day, no, half a day. It can be fixed!"

He can be so confident because he has studied bridge design before.

He had told Smith about the importance of the bridge back in November when he was driving north from Jinheung-ri.

Therefore, as soon as he entered the Changjin Lake area, Smith sent people to reinforce the Water Gate Bridge so that it could bear a weight of 50 tons.

In this way, even a Pershing tank weighing 41 tons can still cross the bridge safely.

Both the bridge body and the bridge surface are covered with a layer of cement, which is very thick, which is why the explosive package used by Jiulian only blasted a small gap.

Johnson walked into his headquarters, took off his hat, and ordered: "Send the engineer battalion to bring a logging machine, chop some wood and quickly repair the bridge."

Hal didn't understand, and asked suspiciously: "Sir, why use wood instead of steel? Isn't steel stronger?"

A secretive smile appeared on Johnson's face: "Hal, let me ask you a question. What will the enemy think when they see that we have repaired the bridge? What will they do?"

Hal was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly realized after recollection: "I see, what the officer means is that they will come to blow up the bridge again?"

"That's right! It's their job to blow up the bridge, and it's our job to defend the bridge. They are responsible for the bombing, and we are responsible for the repair. Repair the bomb, bomb the repair, Do you understand? (Do you understand?)"

Johnson thought he was smart and had seen through everything.I don't know, when it comes to playing tricks, Huaxia is the ancestor.

Hal looked at Officer Johnson's bald head, and flattered him: "Sir, you are so smart, everything is expected."

Johnson smiled triumphantly, looked at a miniature sand table model of the Watergate Bridge in command, and said, "Hal, have you ever played hide-and-seek?"

Hal said embarrassingly: "I played it when I was a child, but I don't play it now."

"Since we already know that the enemy will come to blow up the bridge at night, why don't we ambush a group of people in this place, and when they come, we will pounce on them like a cat catching a mouse..." Johnson pointed to a place on the model, Made a "grab" gesture.

Hal immediately understood, and said loudly: "Don't worry, sir, I'll go down and make arrangements."

Soon, the three firepower points set up on the bridge deck of the Shuimen Bridge were re-deployed, and several open and secret posts were also changed positions, and a hidden machine gun position was even added to aim at the bridge deck.

Johnson came out of the command post, checked it out, and expressed his satisfaction.

Holding a pair of binoculars, he looked at the mountains in the distance and said: "These enemies are like a group of mice, hiding in the caves of these mountains."

Hal wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just now, in order to perform well in front of the officer, he went to the battle to carry the heavy machine gun himself, and he was very tired.

Johnson glanced at the panting Hal, turned his head and continued, "Captain Hal, do you know how to find these mice in the mountains?"

Hal shook his head: "Sir, this is too difficult, if you send a team to search..."

Johnson interrupted him: "Let me tell you a simple way. We have absolute air supremacy. You immediately contact the carrier-based aircraft formation on the coastline and ask them to drop napalm and incendiary bombs on this mountainous area, killing the enemy." Burn it for me!"

"Yes, sir."

Hal agreed with his mouth, but cursed silently in his heart, "This is really not a human thing."
