"Hide!" Claire shouted, turned around and ran in the other direction, and Vernan didn't even bother to pick up the towel, and immediately ran after Claire. High-speed update // Towel or something can be replaced again.,The enemy's bombardment is coming.,It's slow.,Maybe there's no chance to use a towel in the future.。 Besides, there are a lot of mines around here, and if you don't follow Claire closely, you won't be able to run if you want to.

Claire didn't run fast, and he had to make sure that the few people behind him could keep up, otherwise, if he really left people in the minefield, it would be really troublesome. Fortunately, the fellows followed very closely, and in a short time they left the minefield and ran to a small bomb shelter.

This bomb shelter was clearly just dug up. It's more of a shelter than a bomb shelter. The hole was not dug deeply, and it looked like there was only two and a half to three meters of soil on it, and the inner wall of the cave was not reinforced with reinforced concrete, but was supported by some wooden planks and sticks. On some of the supporting sticks, you can still see bright green leaves. It looks like these things have just been cut down. The hole is not deep, and it is only six or seven meters into it to the end. At this time, there were already five or six people in the cave, and with a few new arrivals, it was almost full.

Fonan knew that such a hole would never withstand a direct hit from a heavy aerial bomb, but according to Claire, it was far away from the bombing targets of the Americans, and most of the bombs would not come from here.

At this time, the earth suddenly shook, and apparently, it was the bombs of the Americans that landed.

"It's annoying, these Yankees like this! Each time the bombing came, only a few small bombs were dropped, and a few holes were blown out in the bridge deck. And then when you go to fix it, and finally it is just repaired, they come and drop a few bombs. ”

"What about our anti-aircraft fire?" Fornan asked.

"Hey, don't mention it. When the day before yesterday attacked, didn't all the small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns that could be found be dragged into the attacking troops, and all the 88 high-caliber guns were dragged into the howitzer units to be used as suppression artillery? After I went, I didn't come back. Originally, yesterday we had two single-barreled 20 guns, which were also blown up by the Americans. At least for now, we don't have a single high-profile gun. The Americans will blow up as much as they want. New anti-aircraft artillery is not expected to arrive until much later. ”

By this time the shaking had stopped, and, apparently, the Americans had finished dropping the bombs. "Let's go out and see how my car goes," Fornan said. ”

Claire grabbed Vernan. "Don't be busy," said Claire, "it's attack planes that come to drop bombs." The Americans knew that we had no anti-aircraft firepower, so after dropping the bombs, they always had to go around the bridge to see if they could find the engineering vehicles we were using. In the process, if they find someone, I don't think they will mind giving you a hand. If you listen closely, there's still the sound of the engine outside! ”

After a long while, the sound of the plane's engine died down, and Claire took the lead out of the bomb shelter. As soon as he came out of the dugout, Fornan rushed to see his No. 3 assault gun. To say that Fornan had previously camouflaged this gun well, so the assault gun that was thrown inside the anti-tank bunker was unharmed.

At this time, the ensign ran by, saw Vernan, and stopped.

"Sergeant Fornan, come with us to help."

Funan agreed, and followed with his crew.

The second lieutenant took them all the way to the bridge. There was a hidden hole in the ground, and many people were moving things from the inside to the outside. Basically, it's some angles and the like.

Furnan, along with another man, also lifted an angle and walked towards the bridge. When I got to the bridge and walked about twenty meters, the first hole in the bridge deck appeared in front of Fran's eyes. This hole is a little to the right of the bridge deck, the hole is not large, and the diameter is a little more than two meters. Judging by the width of the bridge deck, the average vehicle can go around the hole. But it can be seen that one of the steel beams below this was blown off by the bomb, and the broken steel beam was bent downward and twisted like a twist. Fornan visually measured the width of the bridge deck, and he estimated that there were at most two such steel girders under the deck, and now one was broken, which almost meant that half of the bridge deck was not working. If a tank had driven to this half and there were no steel beams underneath, it would probably have driven a hole in the bridge deck and fallen. A little earlier, there is a big hole about 5-6 meters away, looking at the location of this hole, I am afraid that another steel beam is not safe.

Several sappers were hanging themselves from ropes, using acetylene cutting guns to cut off the part of the steel beam that had been blown off and twisted downward. A sergeant was directing the group to place a long angle steel next to them. Fornan knew that this was probably going to wait for the cutting to be completed below, and then weld the angles on, so as to temporarily replace the broken steel beam.

But Fornan didn't have time to look at it much, he still had to carry more angles.

……

Arthur was flying his P/A-47 on the way home. They had just dropped six bombs on the bridge, and all but one did not explode, all of them hit the bridge deck. Such damage was enough for the Germans to repair for a while. When they are almost done, they will come over again with bombs.

In this way, while frying and repairing, it was 5 o'clock in the afternoon in a blink of an eye. It's August, the daylight is getting shorter, and before long, the night is coming. In this era, at night, the effectiveness of air power decreases significantly. Ron estimated that there would be a massive retreat from the Germans this evening.

"There was still an hour until it got dark. After dark, we couldn't continue bombing with such a high degree of jīng. So this time, we must blow up that bridge a little bit more miserably so that it will be difficult for them to repair it in a short time. Before the group departed, Ron said to the pilots who were about to depart.

"Now, let's revisit our assignment ......"

Ten minutes later, all 24 attack planes of the entire P/A-47 attack aircraft squadron were dispatched and flew to the target, and 10 minutes later another P/A-38 attack aircraft of the entire squadron took off.

……

Funan, as soon as he sat down, picked up his kettle and poured it into his mouth, but there was no water in the kettle. He couldn't remember the first jugs he had drunk. Anyway, the whole day is in the cycle of running the air-raid shelter-carrying the angle steel-running the air-raid shelter-carrying the angle steel. However, night is coming soon, and when the evening comes, it's time for the Americans to stop a little, right?

And at this time, the air defense jǐng reported again......

By this time, the sun was already tilted to the west, and the attack aircraft group was killing from the direction with their backs to the sun. Three 20-millimeter guns, which had just been transferred, began to fire at the group of American attack aircraft. However, due to the influence of the sun, the jīng degree of these shè strikes is not high.

Arthur's P/A-47 had two 250-pound bombs hanging under the belly. This bomb load is quite easy for the P/A-47 attack aircraft. Today is the third time he has bombed the bridge. There are 4 bridges in this area, and this time each bridge can be divided into 6 P/A-47 attack aircraft and 12 bombs. Since the bombing was required to be on the bridge deck this time, and the enemy's anti-aircraft fire was so weak, as long as the bomb was dropped at a low speed along the bridge deck, it was easy to ensure the degree of jīng.

The enemy placed three 20 guns at the bridgehead, but these shells looked very dense from a distance, and as soon as you really rushed closer, you will find that the fire network of the three 20 guns is still very sparse. Arthur easily crossed the net of fire, and he fired a little shè at a 20mm cannon with his own two 20mm guns, and the 20mm cannon was immediately silent.

A few seconds later, Arthur's plane had already flown to the bridge deck, and he dropped two bombs at a height of less than 60 meters from the bridge deck. In order to avoid bombs exploding to blow up aircraft that are flying too low, these bombs use time-delay fuses. The two bombs landed on the bridge deck, and then jumped on the bridge deck for a moment, before they exploded violently, and two more large holes were blown out on the bridge deck.

After Arthur pulled up the plane, the other planes began to enter in turn and drop bombs. A few minutes later, in flames and smoke, Arthur's fleet began to return.

Funan emerged from the bomb shelter and looked blankly at the bridge. Today's experience is really unimaginable, I originally thought I was here to be a soldier, but it turned out to be a porter. Fornan knew that the nearby Frenchmen had long since lost their sights, and there was nowhere to arrest migrant workers. And since the Allied landing, the resistance in France has become more and more active. At this time, sending a small force to arrest the migrant workers did not do well, and it was not necessary to be yīn by the guerrillas. Therefore, the noble German soldiers could only be used as civilian workers.

Carrying the angle steel, I went up to the bridge again, and this time, there were more places on the bridge that needed to be repaired. One section of the bridge deck was simply blown into two. It's not easy to repair such damage.

A large group of tired soldiers were trying to carry all kinds of materials onto the bridge. The repairmen strapped safety ropes to their bodies and began cutting through the steel that had been bent and deformed in the explosion with acetylene guns. Several sappers pushed a temporary welded hoisting frame over. The original crane was blown up, so they had to do it themselves, welded a frame with a few angle steels, and then installed the original crane pulley block and lower on this frame to make a lifting frame. It is used to lift angle steel. As soon as the personnel were in place, the air raid jǐng newspaper rang out again.
