Surrendering if you can't fight is not a particularly difficult thing for the US military to accept.
But in the eyes of the people in the Seventh and Ninth Companies, these Americans are typical cowards, cowards, cowards, and losers... in short, they look down on them from the bottom of their hearts.
If they weren’t disciplined, they might have been kicked out of the way.
"Rosen, you follow the instructor and take care of them." Wu Qianli casually ordered.
Then Rosen held the M1 Garand and stared at the group of American soldiers who fell to the ground after surrendering to prevent them from causing trouble. At the same time, Rosen watched as Mason talked to them in half-baked English. Magi, depending on his intentions, he also wants to do their ideological work and win them over.
Occasionally, Rosen couldn't help but laugh when he heard him fail to express his meaning.
"Rosen, why are you laughing?" Mei Sheng suddenly asked.
"Instructor, you must have read it wrong, I didn't laugh." Rosen quickly said solemnly: "I just think your English is really good."
"Really?" Mei Sheng suddenly asked in English: "But why do I think it's not that good?"
"As a self-taught English, it is actually quite good, although the spoken English is almost meaningless. , but the wording is very accurate." Rosen subconsciously replied in American English: "At least it's better than pidgin English, isn't it?"
At this point, he realized that he had been misunderstood. It’s a routine.
"It seems that your English is better." Mei Sheng looked at him and said, "You really impress me."
"That's not surprising." Rosen said casually. Said: "I have traveled all over the world in these years and met a lot of people. It is reasonable for me to know more things."
"Then I say, you can help me translate." Mei Sheng immediately began to speak. Talk about it.
Rosen had no choice but to help him translate at the same time.
What he said was very authentic American English. After all, after staying in the world with the background of American English for so long, it is difficult to understand.
The American soldiers listened to the familiar language and looked at him holding the M1 Garand. They thought he was a Chinese American soldier who had surrendered to the past, so they approached him one after another to win over him. treatment of prisoners.
If he hadn't known how to treat prisoners kindly, Rosen might have impatiently rewarded them with a bullet each.
Mei Sheng’s ideological work hasn’t been finished yet, but Wu Qianli, Tan Ziwei and others have already finished cleaning the battlefield.
There are quite a lot of guns and ammunition collected, which is more than enough to repel several US military offensives.
However, when they thought about the possibility of facing thousands of American soldiers and endless attacks from tanks, aircraft and artillery, everyone felt that this amount of ammunition was really a drop in the bucket.
“Let’s move.” Tan Ziwei said: “We have to build our own defenses before the US military arrives.”
“Lao Luo, where is the cannon? " Lei Suisheng secretly pulled Rosen aside and said:"Mortars alone cannot stop U.S. tanks and artillery. You have to rely on artillery."
"Where do you plan to put it?" Rosen asked.
"Here." Lei Suisheng pointed to the little bit of bridge deck left after being blown up by Rosen and said, "How about it?"
"Okay." Rosen nodded, pointed to the opposite side and said: "Be careful on the opposite side."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of metal falling to the ground. The M101 howitzer that was previously installed in the storage compartment was placed there. At the position designated by Lei Suisheng.
He also has several similar howitzers, so it doesn’t bother him at all to give him one back.
Later, Rosen gave Lei Suisheng twenty or thirty boxes of artillery shells, which was enough for him to squander for a while.
Lei Suisheng really lived up to Rosen's generosity. He immediately called his subordinates and started practicing directly.
Taking the few remaining US military fortifications on the south side of the Watergate Bridge as targets, we began to practice how to use this howitzer.
……………………
At the same time, not long after I received the bad news that “the Watergate Bridge has been blown up and cannot be repaired in a short time”, we are Smith, the commander of the 1st Marine Division, who was struggling to digest, received another shocking piece of bad news.
"The Chinese have captured the north side of the Watergate Bridge and are building fortifications with the intention of holding on. They are still attacking us, obviously hoping to completely occupy the Watergate Bridge."
After Smith was silent for a moment, he cursed fiercely: "Damn Chinese, give me an order to take back the Watergate Bridge no matter what, and repair it as soon as possible."
Looking at the black sky in the distance Under the dark night sky, he gritted his teeth and said: "I don't want to wait for my car to arrive at Watergate Bridge, there are still Chinese people there."
Not long after his order was issued, someone came over again and said Contact with the defenders on the south side of Watergate Bridge has been lost.
This gave Smith an even worse premonition.
……………………
Starting with Lei Suisheng personally firing a 105 grenade, the Seventh Company appeared directly at the north gate under Rosen’s delivery On the south side of the bridge, there was the same violent attack as before.
Although some people were inevitably injured, with Rosen in control, no one was sacrificed.
It is not difficult to capture the Watergate Bridge, but what is difficult is how to deal with the crazy attack that the US military will inevitably launch in order to escape the predicament and survive.
In order to build fortifications and clean the battlefield, the soldiers of both the Seventh Company and the Ninth Company stayed up almost all night.
Rosen is certainly no exception.
Although he knew that no matter what was built, it would most likely be blown into ruins by US military planes, but there was still a difference between having fortifications and not having them during a war.
After working for most of the night, he finally lay down. He hadn't even slept for a few minutes when Rosen was suddenly awakened by the dangerous situation.
At the same time, the early morningThe shared vision passed by the crow and ghost wolf that he had released a long time ago.
Now his shared vision has been upgraded to lv7 through continuous use, and he can share seven visions at the same time.
Of course, these fields of view do not block his normal field of view, but appear in the form of small movable windows in an out-of-the-way position within the field of view, and can be adjusted and zoomed in at any time, which is quite convenient.
Sometimes Rosen opens several fields of view together, and it really feels like the sky and the earth are all in his eyes.
"I'll choke you!"
When Rosen saw the scene clearly, he was startled and shouted: "Wake up, the enemy is attacking quickly. Coming."
"Ah!" Wu Wanli sat up suddenly and looked at him: "What air raid?"
"From the sky. He jumped up on the ground, pushing the soldiers around him to wake up as soon as possible, and said: "Quick, quick, get out of here first."
"Where to go?" Tan Ziwei also woke up and said calmly. Face said: "This is our position."
"What happened to the position? The US military has not come, do we have to stay here and wait to die?" Rosen said very unhappily: "People are more important than the position. "It's important, don't you even understand this?"
"Rosen, don't worry, what's going on?" Mei Sheng asked, squeezing Rosen's arm.
