The city of Buzeu is located next to the Buzeu River, hence the name.

The river flows from west to east, and the urban area of nearly 100,000 people is located on the south bank of the river, with the river about a kilometre north and northeast of the suburbs, each connected by a road bridge and a railway bridge.

These two bridges were the most important logistical passages for the 8th Mechanized Corps and the surrounding Soviet troops.

The town of Mere suffered the first round of shelling at the airport of Urmi in the west of Bucharest. Captain Xester (played by Reader Gray Memories) sits in the cockpit of Stuka and feels the powerful vibrations of the JUMO211 engines on the plane.

Captain Xester felt a slight vibration in his body, as if he was enjoying the massage of thousands of invisible tentacles, and every cell and organ of his body let out a cry of joy to the extreme.

Pulling on the hatch, Captain Xuester piloted his beloved fighter plane out of the hangar, parked on the runway and lined up for liftoff.

Twelve ME-109 fighters served as escorts were the first to take to the air, followed by sixteen ME-110 fighters.

Without making the fighters wait any longer, sixteen Stuka methodically accelerated their sprints on the runway and rushed into the blue sky in turn.

The distance from Ulmi airport to the city of Buzeu is only about 120 kilometers in a straight line.

For the Air Force, this distance is simply too close.

Captain Xester even felt that his plane's engine had just turned in one turn before he crossed this unworthy distance.

Captain Xest flies fast, however the fighter is even faster.

By the time Captain Xester and his comrades arrived over the city of Buzeu, the first round of fighting for Operation Broken Bridge had already begun.

On both sides of the Buzeu River, at both ends of the railway bridge, 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullets and 37 mm anti-aircraft gun shells rushed into the sky with tracer light to intercept the killers falling from the sky.

The sound of shells banging and exploding shattered the silence of the early morning, and the fireballs pierced the remaining gloom of the early morning, making people mistakenly think that swarms of ball lightning were traveling together.

The brilliant trail of tracer shells is the route of the Soviet artillery finger shells. It was as if a chain of electricity led them to the target faster and more accurately.

However, in the sky, where the electric chain was raised, the flames from the muzzles of the anti-aircraft machine guns were so dazzling and so alluring.

The pilot of the ME-110 fighter couldn't resist the urge to get up close and personal with the other party. Transformed into a bomber, the ME-110 swooped down from a height of 4,000 meters to sow demon eggs on Soviet anti-aircraft gunners on both sides of the Buzeu River.

Two 1100 hp engines give the ME-110 a powerful bomb carrying capacity.

With gusts of wind, they slid over the anti-aircraft artillery positions. The 1,000-kilogram bomb carried in the belly of the aircraft, and the AB-23 spreaders carried on the wings smashed into the Soviet position.

The power of the 1,000-kilogram bomb was incomparable, and wherever the shrapnel and shock wave passed, whether it was the flesh and blood of the Soviet gunners or the steel of the anti-aircraft guns, they were all cut into pieces, and they flew all over the battlefield, leaving only an extremely large crater in place.

The demon's egg spread its wings and fell like a butterfly, and the volley exploded sending shrapnel and steel balls to the ground. Sweep away the fish that slipped through the net.

Throwing away the bombs, the ME-110 fighter pilots were still unsatisfied, and the violent needs that filled their hearts were not fully satisfied, and they drove the plane to the ground again, two 20mm cannons and four 7.92mm machine guns swept out a bloody path on the ground.

Taking advantage of the ME-110 fighter jets to suppress the anti-aircraft artillery positions on both sides of the Buzeu River, the late Stuka pilots did not waste a great opportunity.

Xest saw his target at a glance, the steel bridge that stood quietly on the surface of the river, like a giant python connecting the two sides of a great river.

There was almost no enemy harassment, and the target of the attack was again a building nearly five hundred meters long. A giant bridge that doesn't move, Xest doesn't think he's going to miss it.

The moment he began to dive, Captain Sharp felt his mind clearer than ever, and he knew it was the effect of a surge of adrenaline.

Everything in the world is excluded. All he could see was the plane under his seat and the bridge over the river.

When the flight altitude dropped to 13,400 meters, Captain Xest's fighter plane blew the horn of Jericho, turned the nose of the plane, and rushed towards the bridge under the impetus of the earth's gravity and engine engines.

The altitude of the plane at 1,000, 800, and 600 meters dropped rapidly, and the pointer on the dashboard slid rapidly, in the blink of an eye. The speed hand pointed to five hundred and twenty kilometers, more than double the number at the beginning of the dive.

A string of shells flew from a corner on the south bank of the Buzeu River and exploded near the dive-sinking group, deadly shrapnel clinking into Stuka's thick armor.

Ignoring the pierced bullet holes in the hatch, Captain Xester stared at the instrument panel until the altimeter pointed 500 meters before flipping the bomb dropping switch and releasing the plane's five bomb pylons.

A 500-kilogram semi-armor-piercing shell and four 50-kilogram bombs swarmed and crashed towards the bridge.

Five bombs hit the bridge deck between the fourth and fifth piers of the bridge with precision, and with a loud metal impact, the debris and sleepers flew everywhere, and the 500-kilogram bomb pierced the rails and sleepers with its sturdy body and powerful speed, and drilled into the bridge.

Four 50-kilogram bombs landed on the bridge deck, and railroad tracks and sleepers flew in all directions, splashing countless splashes when they fell into the water.

The bridge was also trembling, bouncing off countless dusts.

The ripples of the river had not yet dissipated, the trembling of the bridge had not subsided, the steel body of the whole bridge shook almost like electricity, and the part between the fourth and fifth piers erupted into a burst of fireworks, and the bridge trembled and broke into four or five sections of different sizes, and fell to the rushing river.

"Hooha"

Captain Xest couldn't help but applaud his masterpiece.

"That's the real aesthetics of violence, hahaha"

The rupture of the bridge satisfies someone's need for violence, and Captain Xester flicks the lever in satisfaction, and Stuka flies westward like a drunken seagull, flapping his wings and facing away from the rising sun

Ryabeschev and the chief of staff listened to the staff officer's description of the two bridges being blown up by the Luftwaffe, drew their fingers on the map, pointed to the two bridges and shouted: "Order the sappers to immediately repair the bridges, and start construction on both sides of the strait at the same time." Again, what are the Air Force guys doing? Why is the response so sluggish? If they want to go to court-martial, just tell me I can help. ”

The chief of staff said worriedly: "The nearest road to the rear has been cut off, and we can only get supplies and reinforcements by taking the B2 road, which runs parallel to the Buzeu River southeast of the city, and we have to make a long detour. ”

"It doesn't matter, that section of the road is within the jurisdiction of the 15th Mechanized Army, at least it is safe, what we have to worry about now is the urban defense. I fear that this German counteroffensive is coming towards the city of Buzeu, and they must be trying to retake the city. Immediately inform the front command of my judgment and order all the personnel in the city to prepare for street fighting. ”

Fifteen kilometers southwest of the city of Buzeu, the town of Serrata and the town.

Lieutenant General Balk was in his new military headquarters and was listening to the latest war reports.

"Both bridges across the river in the city of Buzeu have been blown up, and the results have been confirmed. To the south is our defense area, to the north is the broken bridge, and the city has been cut off on both sides, so let's see the battle in the northwest and southeast directions. ”

"First concentrate on taking the northwest direction, call the air force, and let them help. Watch out for enemy attacks on our flanks to the southeast, and let the 60 Motorized Rifle Division scout carefully. ”

"The 23rd Panzer Division has been assembled, and our secret weapon is ready for battle, and when the fighting in the northwest direction is over, they can attack and completely cut off the connection between the city of Buzeu and the outside world."

Balk walked around the military headquarters with his arms crossed, his eyes constantly rolling around.

"I don't feel very good, order the 60 Motorized Rifle Division, send troops to attack the commanding heights of Petrosu Peak, if necessary, you can ask for the assistance of the 23rd Panzer Division, I want to see how the Soviets react, and where are their reserves?"

"Need a secret weapon?"

"No, the secret weapon can not be used until the moment of the final general attack, the task of cutting off the B2 highway and encircling the city of Buzeu is their real task, and they must not expose it before this mission is launched." (To be continued.) )
