Chapter 140: Lianyun Bridge

Chapter 140: Lianyun Bridge

After listening to my analysis, Deputy Division Commander Liang changed his previous kind attitude, looked at the sand table with a straight face, and shouted behind him: "Commander Wu!" ”

"Here!" Commander Wu answered, and immediately stood next to Deputy Division Commander Liang.

"Where have our troops withdrawn now?" Deputy Division Commander Liang asked.

"Retreat to ......" Regiment Commander Wu obviously didn't know this answer, so he anxiously looked at several staff officers next to him.

One of the staff officers stood up and pointed at Tongdeng and said: "After a day and a night of retreat, our troops have basically withdrawn to Tongdeng at this time, and only a few slower and engineer units are left behind!" ”

"What is the order for the superior to retreat!" Deputy Division Commander Liang asked again.

"Report to the division commander, not yet!" Head Wu replied.

At this time, Deputy Division Commander Liang couldn't help frowning, and anxiously looked at the multi-function watch on his wrist and said: "Now there is still more than an hour before dark, immediately send a car tower to carry a battalion of troops along the way to seize the key points, and we must ensure that our army's retreat route is unblocked!" ”

"Yes!" Head Wu answered, turned around and was about to leave.

"Come back!" Deputy Division Commander Liang stopped Regiment Commander Wu again, and then turned around and asked me, "Battalion Commander Cui has anything else to add?" ”

I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard this, and it can be seen from the words of Deputy Division Commander Liang that I am now Deputy Division Commander Liang's most trusted staff officer. Looking at the unnatural expressions of the other chiefs of staff, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed by them, but at this time, I couldn't care about the urgency of the military situation, so I turned to Wu Songhe and said: "Commander Wu, what the Vietnamese army is best at is to disguise itself as our army's troops to sneak attack in the dark, so after seizing the key points, we must immediately build a position and organize a defense, I think ...... The fighters under my command have some experience with these things, and it is better to have two or three fighters of the second battalion at each garrison point to guide them! ”

"That's right!" Deputy Division Commander Liang nodded in agreement: "Hurry up, just do what Camp Commander Cui said!" ”

"Yes!" Commander Wu saluted me and Deputy Division Commander Liang, turned around and ran out of the regiment headquarters.

I couldn't help but sweat, I read that right...... A regimental commander saluted me, the battalion commander?

After a while, I heard the whistle of "Di Di Di ......" outside the regiment headquarters, and then the head of the regiment Wu shouted in his slightly hoarse voice: "Urgently assemble!" Emergency ......"

The camp, which was still very quiet, was suddenly a 'chaotic' mess, with the sound of running, passwords, shouting, pulling bolts, and the sound of car motors...... All these voices are 'intertwined' together, but there is also a bit of the power of the expedition.

Deputy Division Commander Liang seemed to be in a bad mood, he anxiously walked back and forth in the sand table a few times, as if he wanted to suppress his anger, but in the end he broke out, pointed at those staff officers and scolded: "What are you guys doing? Didn't you say that everything was arranged? Didn't you say that the task was guaranteed? If it weren't for Camp Commander Cui's reminder, we would all be surrounded by more devils! A regiment...... Thousands of lives were almost destroyed at your hands! You are sinning! ”

Where did those chiefs of staff dare to speak at this time, all of them blushing and 'straightening' their bodies and bowing their heads without saying a word, but I was embarrassed to see it. After all, they were scolded because of me, but then again, if I don't say it, will I still allow the soldiers of the 608th Regiment to be surrounded by the Vietnamese army?

"Deputy Division Commander Liang...... "I said good things for the chiefs of staff: "They are also inexperienced, and they have little experience in mountain and jungle warfare, so mistakes are inevitable......

"Alas! Battalion Commander Cui ......" Deputy Division Commander Liang sighed and said: "If it's a drill, then it's okay to say, but this is the battlefield!" Hundreds or thousands of lives are in their hands, and if something goes wrong, there will be a big problem! It's good that I'll take you here for a spin, otherwise I don't know how big a Lou Zi I would have to poke them out! ”

I have to admit that what Deputy Division Commander Liang said does make sense, so I don't even know what to say.

At this time, Regiment Commander Wu ran in to relieve the siege for the chiefs of staff, and he saluted in front of Deputy Division Commander Liang and said, "Report!" The second battalion has set off! ”

"Who's leading the team?" Deputy Division Commander Liang asked with a dark face.

"Battalion Commander Xu Fanxu!" Head Wu replied.

"Which of my company commanders assigned to this unit!" I asked next to me.

"It's the fifth company, Company Commander Li's troops!"

"Hmm!" I nodded, knowing that Commander Wu would send the second battalion to carry out this task also had a deep meaning, and he must have known that the fifth company in my battalion was the strongest, and at this time, to make up for this big leak, of course, it was necessary to send the strongest troops.

"Camp Commander Cui!" Deputy Division Commander Liang held my hand slightly apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, I just asked you to teach you some experience, but I didn't expect you to let you participate in the battle now...... You've just gotten off the battlefield, and I'm going to make you ......."

"What are you talking about?" I replied, "We are all comrades on the same front, of course we will help you if you are in trouble, and I think my soldiers will understand!" ”

As I spoke, I turned my gaze to Wu Songhe and asked, "Commander Wu, those soldiers under my command have not disobeyed the command, right?" ”

"Nope! They were very cooperative, and some even took the initiative to fight! A smile appeared at the corner of Wu Songhe's mouth, but in my opinion, his smile was more ugly than crying.

I can understand his feelings, I originally wanted to bring the troops up to make meritorious contributions, but now I made such a big mistake, and I am lucky not to be surrounded by Yue devils. So this gap in psychological expectations will definitely be a little unbearable.

"Report!" At this time, a correspondent walked in with a telegram and said: "This is a telegram from Battalion Commander Xu, and two high ground have been successfully occupied!" ”

"Hmm! The action is pretty fast! I complimented at the right time.

In fact, I know in my heart that these two heights are very likely to be only a few hundred meters away from where we have been stationed, and the soldiers are all going by car, can they not be happy? However, the sound of my praise still made the people around me very useful, and the faces of Regiment Commander Wu and the staff officers eased slightly, and Deputy Division Commander Liang also said "um".

Then Head Wu hesitated to 'insert' two small red flags on the sand table, letting me know that I really had the right idea just now.

Looking down along the highway, a highway bridge three or four kilometers away appeared in my sight, I couldn't help frowning, turned around and said, "Deputy Division Commander Liang, this bridge ......"

"Oh, this bridge is called Lianyun Bridge!" A staff officer hurriedly replied: "Although it is not long, only a dozen meters, but the ditch below it is very deep, we have already noticed this when we came, considering that there are already engineering troops guarding there, so we did not send people to stay!" ”

"Camp Commander Cui!" Deputy Division Commander Liang ignored the chief of staff, but turned around and asked me, "Do you think there will be any problems?" ”

I frowned and said, "I'm worried that the Vietnamese army will find a way to blow up the bridge!" ”

"Find a way to blow up the bridge?" The chief of staff replied puzzledly: "Then there should be difficulties!" There are our engineering units on the defensive, and our troops will be there soon......"

"I'm worried about the engineering troops!" I interrupted the Chief of Staff.

"What? Worried about the sapper troops? "The chiefs of staff, including Regiment Commander Wu and Division Commander Liang, all cast suspicious and 'confused' glances at me.

"What do you mean by that?" Deputy Division Commander Liang asked anxiously.

"It's easy!" I raised it and asked, "Do you remember what the engineer unit was keeping for when we were on the steel bridge?" ”

"Oh!" As soon as I said this, Deputy Division Commander Liang quickly reacted: "You mean that the engineering unit has already dug holes in the bridge and loaded explosives to prepare to blow up the bridge?" ”

"That's right!" I nodded.

"But ......," the chief of staff objected, "the engineer troops are just ready, and they won't blow up the bridge easily if we don't cross the bridge!" ”

"But what if the Yue devils try to occupy the bridge?" I asked rhetorically: "What would you do if you were an engineer unit and saw that the road bridge was about to fall into the hands of the enemy?" ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, everyone understood, and everyone's faces were 'revealed' with horror.

When I said this, Deputy Division Commander Liang's face turned white, and he immediately ordered the chief of staff: "Immediately order Battalion Commander Xu to personally lead a platoon of soldiers to Lianyun Bridge as soon as possible, and ensure the safety of Lianyun Bridge at all costs!" ”

"Yes!" A chief of staff was ordered to run briskly towards the radio room.

After thinking about it, Deputy Division Commander Liang said again: "Immediately give me the engineering troops connected to the cloud bridge, and let them use no matter what method they use, whether they can throw them in the river or hide them, in short, remove the explosives on the bridge for me as quickly as possible......

Chief of Staff, you look at me, I look at you, and no one carries out the order.

When Deputy Division Commander Liang looked at them with suspicious eyes, they had the courage to say, "Report to Deputy Division Commander, we ...... Our phone calls with the engineering units did not connect......"

"What a name!" Deputy Division Commander Liang slapped it on the table fiercely, and pointed his finger at the staff officers and was speechless.

A chief of staff wiped the sweat from his forehead and said nervously: "We can connect to the logistics headquarters first, and then pass on the order through them......"

"Don't go yet!" Deputy Division Commander Liang shouted viciously, so the two chiefs of staff ran away.

I couldn't help but shake my head secretly, like them to pass the order, not to mention whether they can accurately bring the order, but I am afraid that by the time the order arrives at Lianyun Bridge, Battalion Commander Xu and their troops have already arrived. But no matter what, as long as someone arrives......

At this time, suddenly a communications soldier hurriedly ran up and handed over a telegram saying: "Battalion Commander Xu sent it that there were gunshots and explosions in the direction of Lianyun Bridge......
