Chapter 1 Blowing up the Huitong Bridge

Next Chapter

In May 1942, the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which assisted the British army against the Japanese army, lost the operation in Burma. The Japanese army took advantage of the situation along the Yunnan-Burma Highway to invade the western Yunnan region of our country. Attempted to seize the Huitong Bridge in chaos, cross the Nu River, and invade the rear of southwest China......

At that time, the Nu River, just like a moat lying between the two mountains, the water of the Nu River is as its name twists and turns, the west is towering into the clouds of the high Ligong Mountain, Huitong Bridge is the only bridge that can connect the two sides of the river can be opened to traffic and transportation......

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, everyone."

Ma Chenglong, a reconnaissance staff officer of the 2nd Pre-regiment on the bridge, shouted loudly to the countless refugees, overseas Chinese, and stragglers on the bridge as he walked......

So far, Ma Chenglong has not figured out how the devil suddenly appeared in front of them, as a member of the 29th Division who was ordered to reinforce, they drove from Yunnan to Burma, and it was only a few days before their regiment was stationed in a county town called Longling in the southwest of western Yunnan, and it was only a few days, and they didn't even understand how they came back, and the Japanese suddenly appeared in front of them.

A large number of devils under the cover of fierce artillery fire, with lightning speed into the defense they were stationing, their company commander was blown to pieces by a shell at the first time, the company commander's flesh and blood even splashed on his face, everyone seemed to be stupid, the company commander died, they were all leaderless, so that they didn't even have time to make any response and resistance, the loose defense line was broken by the devils in one fell swoop.

They were beaten in the artillery fire of the devils, and the platoon commander was nowhere to be found, and soon they began to retreat, and were driven out of Longling like ducks by the devils......

"Don't panic, everyone, hurry, hurry, keep up!"

......

"Sitting."

"Report to the seat, Shangfeng can't be contacted now, you look at this bridge, whether to defend or bomb."

"The strategic location of the Huitong Bridge is quite important, and if it is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"At present, a large number of Japanese devils' armored forces are approaching this side, and it is impossible to defend it, so it can only be bombed." Yu Hanmin, chief of the general staff of a certain group army, said to the military police.

......

"Entering China from the Wan Town port, it advanced more than 200 kilometers in two days."

At this time, Major General Sakaguchi, the commander of the 56th Division, who was full of confidence, was sure that no one would be able to stop his advance now, and there was only one obstacle in front of him, and that was the world-famous Nu River Grand Canyon.

"I think Osaku Shimada should be standing on the Etsu Bridge."

"As long as Shimada Osa successfully occupies the bridgehead, and my 3,000 ground and armored troops can pass through the Huitong Bridge and reach the other side of the Nu River, it will play a greater advantage over the entire western Yunnan battlefield of the Japanese Empire."

"At the same time, it is also very beneficial to the entire Burma battlefield."

"At this rate, as long as we cross the Nu River, within ten days, the military flag of our Great Japanese Empire will fly in the sky over Kunming."

Major General Sakaguchi picked up his binoculars and looked at the Etsu Bridge again.

......

"Miss, let's go, let's go!"

"Chest, Miss, my chest...... He snatched my suitcase," shouted a girl on the bridge.

I saw a soldier snatching the box from behind and running.

There were so many people on the bridge that the two girls could only watch as their suitcases were snatched away.

Ma Chenglong, who was in front, saw a soldier running quickly with a box in his hand.

Ma Chenglong rushed up from the opposite side, grabbed the soldier's neck, and then snatched the box back from his hand. He dragged him over to the two girls.

Smack.

Han Shigui walked up and gave the soldier a resounding slap in the face.

"Damn, I'm still robbing things, I'll let you rob them!"

"Lao Gui, let Lao Tzu kill him!" I saw a man next to Han Shigui walking up.

"Shandong, you can't make him, if you really make him, it will definitely die."

"Sorry, it's your box, hurry up and cross the bridge!"

As he spoke, Ma Chenglong handed over the box.

"Quick, hurry across the bridge, hurry up!"

"Hurry, everyone, hurry up, run, hurry up......"

"Hurry up, everyone, or it's too late......"

At this time, Shen Liping looked back at Ma Chenglong, who was shouting on the bridge.

Xiaohuan, the maid beside her, pulled her arm again.

"Miss, let's go, don't look at it!"

......

"The armored forces of the Japanese are advancing very fast, and the sappers are placing ** quickly."

"Brothers, move quickly." Yu Hanmin on the side said to the soldiers anxiously.

This is a Japanese plane flying over the sky, machine guns firing at the crowd. There was only a scream, and a woman holding the box was shot and fell to the bridge, and the box fell to the side. The woman's blood spurted like a water gun. One of the men hesitated for a moment amid the machine-gun fire of the plane, but finally hugged the child tightly and ran across the bridge with a panicked face......

"Be careful!" Saying that, Han Shigui pulled Xiaohuan aside.

......

"I said, 'Hurry, hurry.'" Ma Chenglong was still shouting loudly on the bridge deck.

"Hello, I am Yu Hanmin, Chief of the General Staff of the Group Army."

"Hello sir, I'm Ma Chenglong, the reconnaissance staff officer of the Second Pre-Regiment."

"Take your two brethren to help maintain order on the bridge." Staff Officer Yu said to Ma Chenglong.

......

In the morning of the same day, the Longling merchant drove home from Baoshan, and when the car passed by the Huitong Bridge, he suddenly heard that Longling had been occupied by devils, and turned around at the west end of the bridge to return to Baoshan in a hurry. Not far from the middle of the bridge, a car was impatient and wanted to rush past it, but due to mechanical damage caused by excessive braking, it broke down in the middle of the bridge, making it impossible for subsequent vehicles to pass. Seeing this, a gendarme summoned more than a dozen bridge workers from the east bank, each with a large iron pry, to the middle of the bridge.

The gendarme said to the driver: "Damn, what are you doing here, quick, drive away!" ”

"You don't have long eyes, the car is broken, it's not being repaired."

"It's broken, it's being repaired?"

"If it's broken, push it down, push it off the bridge!"

"I see who dares, I'm very familiar with your Xifeng Brigade."

"The brothers worked hard and pushed the cart down together."

"Who dares to try it."

Bang!

As he spoke, he pulled out his pistol and fired a shot into the sky.

Gunshots were heard, and the two sides of the Huitong Bridge were even more chaotic. When the soldiers at the bridgehead heard the gunshots, they immediately raised their guns.

"Who, who shot it?"

......

"Dazuo, they found us."

Shimada, the Japanese spy agency "Mangshi No. 1", led hundreds of death squads to pretend to be refugees, and his death squad was less than 200 meters away from the bridge. The sudden gunfire at the bridgehead not only shocked the refugees on the West Bank, but also ripped off the tense nerves of the Japanese soldiers in disguise, thinking that the target was exposed, so they ordered the death squad to charge. While the Japanese army opened fire, they rushed to the bridgehead with all their might, and the Chinese military police on the east bank of the bridgehead were dizzy with a rain of locusts, and on the Huitong Suspension Bridge, the people who were shot fell into the river like dumplings.

Bang, bang, bang...... Several gunshots rang out, and several refugees were shot and fell on the bridge deck and rolled into the Nu River.

"Japanese !!"

"Quick, fire, quick, hurry......."

"How do you fire, you can't tell which ones are devils?"

At this critical juncture, Ma Chenglong received Han Shigui and Xiao Shandong to catch up, and he shouted at the refugees who rushed over: "Come in!" Get down ......"

The scorching bullets flew by Ma Chenglong's side, and the refugees who ran in front heard his shout and crawled on the ground one after another, and the people behind were swept down by the bullets fired by the devils.

Ma Chenglong couldn't hesitate anymore when he saw it, and immediately picked up the ** in his hand and shouted loudly: "Shoot at those with guns for me!" ”

"Brethren! Can't let the little devils rush up! Give me a hard beating of his bitch's little devil......"

The ** in Ma Chenglong's hand is an authentic American product, the firepower is very fierce, and the tongues of fire seem to destroy all the objects blocking it in front of him, roaring, and strings of bullets are like locusts, flying towards the devil death squad.....

"Aim hit, aim hit!" Ma Chenglong said loudly to the military medical officer next to him.

"Fire suppression, quick, ready to blow up the bridge, quick, hurry, ready to blow up the bridge......"

......

"Oops!"

"Miss, be careful, be quick!"

At this moment, a man stuffed a note to Shen Liping, the deputy leader of "Miss Butterfly", who was about to cross the bridge.

Shen Liping didn't say a word, pulled up the small ring, turned around and ran back.

"You're crazy, the bridge will blow up right away." Ma Chenglong grabbed Shen Liping's arm and said loudly.

Shen Liping shook off Ma Chenglong's hand, gave Ma Chenglong a resounding slap with her backhand, and then carried the box, pulled up the small ring and ran back quickly.

"Blow up the bridge!"

"Wait a minute."

"Come back, come back, blow up the bridge right away!"

"Come back soon!" Almost all of them were shouting loudly.

I saw Shen Liping pulling Xiaohuan and running quickly. Just when they were four or five feet from the bridge......

At this moment, with a boom, a large orange-yellow fireball burst up from the bridge, and the dazzling arc light and burst flames reflected the canyon and the river brightly. Then a huge explosion and violent wave of air tossed the drawbridge high into the air, and then slowly fell like a broken toy, into the dark and dreary canyon. The tall pillars of the bridge were also shaken to the point of unsteadiness on their feet, and finally they were slowly carried into the river like drunks who had drunk too much, stirring up high columns of water.
