After running for about a mile or so, Lin Zhan and the other two, who did not find anything unusual, hid and waited for the main force behind them.
"Brother Pinghe, try this gun!"
Lin Zhan directly handed over the Delia Carbine.
When he returned from the logistics base, he had already carried this gun on his back.
Although the soldiers of the Seventh Company had never seen such a gun before and were curious, they did not ask much.
"This…"
Ping He took the " oddly-shaped " gun and looked at it carefully before looking at Lin Zhan in confusion.
Lin Zhan smiled and said," The Delia Carbine is a high-end product of the American army. It is known as the quietest gun in the world. I have already filled the magazine. If there is an emergency later, don't worry. Just shoot!"”
Ping He's eyes lit up when he heard this.
A quiet gun?
Any Sniper would know what these words meant!
After waiting for a few minutes, the three of them set off again.
However, this time…after walking for a few hundred meters, the three of them stopped and hid themselves, looking ahead with grave expressions.
"Why would so many American soldiers suddenly appear here?”
Looking at the scene below, Ping He's tone was a little suspicious.
"I don't know, Wanli!" Lin Zhan shook his head. Go back and inform the main group that they can't continue moving forward!”
"Yes, sir!"
Wu Wanli nodded and turned to leave.
Lin Zhan's gaze was fixed on the scene in front of him.
Less than 200 meters in front of them, there was an entire platoon of American infantry building fortifications.
However, there was still nearly a kilometer of distance between here and the nearest American infantry company camp!
If something happened to the logistics base, the infantry company would definitely send reinforcements.
If they sent another infantry platoon to build fortifications, wouldn't the American camp be empty?
Lin Zhan narrowed his eyes…He knew that he had met an expert this time.
The American commander had probably already deduced the tactics of the 7th Company and made the most correct response at the first moment!
Abandoning the camp and splitting up the infantry companies into smaller groups, they set up fortifications around the camp. This was clearly to prevent the 7th Company from approaching the camp.
The sky was about to brighten. If the 7th Company chose to exchange fire with the UA troops at this juncture, even if they could take down the infantry platoon, they would undoubtedly expose their position and be locked in by the enemy aircraft.
If the 7th Company chose to go around, they would not be able to get close to the American camp before dawn. Under the indiscriminate attack of the American fighter jets, it would also be difficult to escape!
This platoon was both a stumbling block and a bait.
It had to be said that the commander of the US infantry company was a ruthless character!
He used a platoon as a bet, betting that Qi Lian would not dare to attack!
"Pinghe, do you dare to play big with me?”
Lin Zhan took a deep breath and suddenly spoke.
Ping He was slightly stunned at first, but then he smiled and said,"I should have given my life to the battlefield long ago. Why wouldn't I dare?”
Lin Zhan looked at him deeply and naturally understood the meaning behind Ping He's words.
"Let's go!"
Without a word, Lin Zhan pulled Ping He and rushed to the side.
However, at this moment, a soft voice suddenly sounded from not far away.
"Platoon leader! Pinghe! Where are you two going?"
The two of them turned around and saw Wu Wanli running back.
"Didn't I ask you to go back and report?" Lin Zhan frowned.
Wu Wanli caught up to him and said matter-of-factly,""I've already sent the news back.”
"Bring him along?"
Ping He suddenly looked at Wu Wanli with an inexplicable expression.
Lin Zhan did not hesitate and nodded.”
As he spoke, Lin Zhan took the lead and rushed out.
Ping He pulled Wu Wanli and said,""Don't shoot without orders. Follow me closely!”
Just as the three of them were sprinting in one direction, everyone stopped where the Seventh Company's main force was.
He hid in his original spot and was constantly alert to the movements around him.
"Captain, we've been gone for so long. Why haven't Lin Zi and the others returned yet?”
Lei Suisheng came to Wu Qianli's side, his voice worried.
In his eyes, the two kids were like his disciples and his son. Pinghe was his brother, and Lei Suisheng didn't want anything to happen to them.
Wu Qianli shook his head, looked ahead and said in a deep voice,""Lin Zi has his own thoughts. If there is a situation, he will come back to inform us immediately.”
"Even if we go at full speed now, we won't be able to run out of this area. Let's just wait here!”
"Let's see if that kid can give us another surprise!”
Wu Qianli's tone was somewhat helpless.
Now that the fate of the entire Seventh Company was in the hands of a new recruit, it made him, as the company commander, feel angry.
However, there was no other way.
If Lin Zhan did not bring back any good news, they could only gamble on their luck.
Even the indiscriminate bombing of enemy planes could not cover the entire area.
"It's almost time. Let's wait for dawn!"
His footsteps slowly stopped. Lin Zhan was panting slightly, and the two people behind him were even more out of breath.
Sitting on the ground with his gun, Lin Zhan's heart wavered for the first time.
Everything he had done…
Was it right or wrong?
If there was no operation against the American logistics base, the 7th Company would have been able to cross this area safely.
He even relied on the military deployment map to smoothly reach Changjin Lake.
However, Lin Zhan knew very well that in such a harsh environment, there was not enough food to replenish. Perhaps there would not be any problems at the moment, but in the following journey, there would definitely be casualties!
Their bodies could not absorb enough energy and heat, and they could not march during the day. They could only lie dormant in the snow and ice, and there were bound to be cases of soldiers freezing to death and frostbite.
This was the wilderness, and Seventh Company did not have a medical team. There was no way to treat them in time.
Once frostbite appeared, the injury would become more and more serious!
As a transmigrator, Lin Zhan clearly knew that in this large-scale march, coupled with the Battle of Changjin Lake, the entire 9th Regiment had died of frostbite alone. In the end, there were as many as 30,000 people!
From this, it could be seen how serious the problem of frostbite was in an environment of ice and snow!
A cotton-padded jacket?
In the face of the upcoming fierce battle, it was impossible for all the volunteers to wrap themselves up like rice dumplings. A bloated and thick coat would seriously affect their combat effectiveness.
Therefore, the soldiers 'cotton-padded clothes alone could not resist the cold of winter. Coupled with the malnutrition of their bodies, it was undoubtedly a fatal blow!
Even though the Seventh Company would suffer losses along the way, the losses would not be too great, but even so…
Lin Zhan also did not want any soldier to fall on the road!
That was why he made a series of plans, including lurking around the American infantry camp.
However, Lin Zhan had overlooked one point…
That was the ability of the American commander!
This was fatal!
