Chapter Seventy-One: An Unexpected Result

Chapter Seventy-One: An Unexpected Result

"Commander" After a while, Liu Shunyi handed me a telegram and said, "Commander Wu has called back......"

"Read," I said bluntly.

"This ......" Liu Shunyi hesitated, then held up the telegram and read: "Boy, you can do it"

"What?" Listening to me, I couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Liu Shunyi suspiciously.

Liu Shunyi held up the telegram a little innocently, and said: "This is not what I said, the phone is just four words: 'Boy, you can do it'"

There was a coax, and before I could react, the soldiers were already laughing, who would have thought that Wu Min would send such a serious thing with a telegram on the battlefield.

"The regiment commander's method is indeed very good," Li Pinghe said with a smile: "I don't understand, how did your head come up with this method to use the water flow to bring down the explosives 'charge' bag, and the comrades of the 539th Regiment only need to easily throw the explosive 'charge' bag into the water, and all problems will be solved."

"Yes," Li Weiqiang also nodded in response: "It's no wonder that Regiment Commander Wu sent these four words, we also admired it so much that we were thinking about reinforcing Battalion Commander Hu just now, but now it seems that they don't need to do it." What if the puppet army put barbed wire in the river? Once the explosive 'medicine' package is blown up, it doesn't fly into the sky, what can it do on the pontoon? As many pontoon bridges as they build, we can easily blow up as many pontoon bridges as they want."

"That's it," Li Pinghe said: "Our volunteer troops are accustomed to carrying explosive 'charge' bags, but now because there are a large number of recoilless guns, rocket launchers and other equipment, the role of explosive 'charge' bags on the battlefield is becoming less and less, isn't it?" Although Captain Wu brought them, they didn't use any of them, but I didn't expect this thing to come in handy at a critical moment."

"Did Regiment Leader Wu say anything about doing it when he did it?" I asked a question that the fighters were most concerned about.

"I didn't say it" Liu Shunyi shook his head and said, "I'll send another report."

"Hmm," I nodded.

After a while, Liu Shunyi took another telegram and came back and said: "Commander Wu said that he has already done it, let's start to put a few down to see if the length of the wire is suitable."

"Which position will see the 522.1 heights?" I asked Liu Shunyi.

"Position No. 3" Liu Shunyi pointed on the map.

Without saying a word, I walked towards the pit with my rifle, and Xu Yongwei, Zhang Mingxue, Li Weiqiang and others hurriedly followed.

The shells on the 585.2 heights are not so dense anymore. I think it is very likely that this is because the puppet army came in a hurry and did not bring too many shells, and at this time they want to concentrate on attacking the 522.1 height, so the shelling of our 585.2 heights will naturally not be the same as before.

But even so, I didn't dare to be careless, and meticulously climbed up the 'crossing' trench. In other words, it is really not easy to move in this 'intersection' trench. The so-called people go to a high place and the water flows to a low place, and the rainwater on both sides of the 'Jiao' trench is dug out as if they have found their own mother, and they are poured into the 'Jiao' trench as soon as the new soil in the trench is mixed, and the entire 'Jiao' trench is not knee-deep turbid cement slurry, plus some sections have also blown up the shells of the puppet army, so it is simply difficult to walk in it.

However, if you are careful on the battlefield a hundred times, you will not lose anything, and if you are not careful, you may die, so for the sake of your life, it is better to go to the 'handover' trench in a proper manner

"Captain"

"Battalion Commander"

……

It was with great difficulty that several people climbed to position No. 3, and as soon as several observers who were holding the position saw us, they hurriedly gave us up their positions.

I was not polite to them, so I found a place and lay down in the muddy water, raised my binoculars and looked at the section of the Bukhan River on the 522.1 heights.

The 585.2 Heights are about two kilometers away from the 522.1 Heights by road, but the straight-line distance is only about one thousand meters, so even in this layer of rain curtains, you can still vaguely see the battle situation of the 522.1 Heights. Smoke erupted from the shells, and the sound of gunfire continued almost non-stop, and the occasional roar of motors could be heard. One can imagine how fierce the battle in that direction was.

But now, I am not concerned about the battle situation on the 522.1 heights, but about the movement on the Bukhan River......

I realized that the view was blocked by another high ground, so I changed positions and raised the telescope again. As a result, the puppet army that was attacking on the North Han River appeared in the aperture of my telescope, because it was raining and the sky was very dark, so I couldn't see it very clearly, and I could vaguely see that the puppet army was moving north on the two pontoon bridges. Sometimes you will see one or two cars or tanks puppet army pontoon bridges that are advanced, and the tanks can withstand it

The occasional 'stirring' of water jets on the river seemed to tell me that the fighters of the 522.1 heights were trying to blow up the enemy's pontoon bridge with mortars. But what is very helpless is that the puppet army's artillery suppression of the 522.1 heights is very fierce, and the other is that because of the weather, the visibility is very poor, and it is difficult to aim at the pontoon bridge accurately.

Besides, the puppet army's pontoon bridge is so strong that even a tank can withstand it, so even a mortar hit doesn't seem to have much of an impact

"Boom ......" sounds, and at this time, two columns of water suddenly rose on the surface of the river. These two columns of water are much larger and taller than those produced by mortars before. So I guessed that this should be the explosive 'medicine' bag put down by the 539th regiment to explode.

Sure enough, I was even more sure of this when I noticed that there was a large barbed wire fence flying into the sky along with the two columns of water. I think the puppet army must be wondering at this time, where the volunteers can shoot so accurately, and they can hit the barbed wire they laid in the river with both shots.

It's no wonder they couldn't find that at this time, the water of the North Han River was 'muddy', and there were a few sections of wood and planks in the water, which was normal. The explosives bags put down by the 539th Regiment were precisely tied to the wood and planks, and if they wanted to find them, they would not be until they were scooped up and inspected by scooping up every section of wood and planks in the river......

Of course we wouldn't mind if they had the pleasure of doing so, but even if they could catch it, they would be frightened by the smoky bag of explosives

Seeing that the explosives bag successfully blew up the barbed wire, I was a little relieved. At least this proves that my method works, and that there seems to be nothing the enemy can do to stop us from doing so, at least I don't think of any way

In other words, as long as we have enough explosives, the puppet army's pontoon bridge will not be built near the 522.1 heights. Of course, if their pontoon bridge will be so strong that they can't even blow up the explosives 'medicine' bag, then they are good

But I knew it was impossible, and although I didn't know much about the pontoon, one thing was obvious, and that was that it must be the top and weak on the bottom.

The pontoon bridge is more vulnerable to enemy attacks, and it also has to withstand the crushing of heavy equipment such as tanks and cars. Just like a tank, the frontal armor that is vulnerable to attack is always the thickest, while the lower armor, which is largely unattackable, is definitely the thinnest.

That is so...... Then as long as the explosive 'charge' package in the water explodes, hehe......

So I held the binoculars and waited patiently, but after a while, I only heard a few loud noises of "boom ......", and several high water columns exploded next to the pontoon bridge, but I regretted that none of these explosive "charge" bags hit the puppet army's pontoon bridge, some were close and some were far away.

I secretly screamed no, and soon understood what the problem was

Even in the same river, the speed of the water flow is not the same, some sections of the river flow fast, others slow flow. Moreover, there are still many uncertain factors in this, such as the same length of explosive 'charge' package leads, its delay explosion time will be different, and the speed of different volumes and weights of explosive 'charge' bags running down in the river will also be different, all of which will make it impossible for the soldiers of the 539th Regiment to 'precisely' control the explosive 'charge' package to detonate directly under the pontoon bridge

The reason why the barbed wire fence was blown up so easily just now was entirely because the barbed wire would stop something as big as the explosive 'drug' bag......

At this time, I couldn't help but think of mines, and if there was something like a mine that triggered an explosion, then all the problems would be simple. But where are we going to find mines now?

"Regiment Commander" At this time, Li Pinghe hurriedly ran up with a communication soldier carrying a walkie-talkie on his back and said, "Regiment Commander Wu's phone"

"Hmm" I nodded, took the phone and said into the microphone: "Captain Wu, I know what the problem is, I can't blame you"

Wu Min on the other side of the microphone was silent for a while, and replied a little unwillingly: "Captain Cui, why don't we put a few more down and try it, maybe the one that happens to be able to bump into our explosives 'medicine' bag anyway is ......."

"Hmm" I couldn't help but be stunned when I heard Wu Min's words, and then immediately nodded and said: "That's right, it's to put more, but not in batches, but to put dozens in a row at about the same time."

"You mean......" Wu Min on the other end of the walkie-talkie hesitated and quickly understood, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "It's a good way, or you have a way, during the time when the fuse was almost detonated at the pontoon, dozens of them were dropped in a row, and the explosions were almost continuous, so if a series of explosions continued, I don't believe that none of the explosives 'charge' package would blow up the pontoon."

"Yes," I replied, "we're going to give them a carpet bomb."

"I'll do it right away, you just wait to watch the show," Wu Min on the other end of the walkie-talkie hung up the phone.

The guns on the 522.1 high ground are still ringing, and although the explosions on the river are very close to the pontoon bridge, the puppet army still does not realize that the danger comes from the water, which can be seen from the fact that they are still busy transporting troops on the pontoon bridge.

But this is understandable, under such a dense cannonball, no one would think that it was just a few shells from the enemy, and who would have thought that those explosions actually came from underwater......

I raised my binoculars again to look at the two pontoon bridges that stood across the Bukhan River, and the puppet army troops who did not know that death was coming, but still ran on the bridges, quietly waiting for the moment when the results were revealed.

There is an old Chinese saying that it is up to people to make things happen. Sometimes, even if we plan well, the end result can be unsatisfactory. Things on the battlefield are so realistic, what we want is the result, just like now, even if we plan everything, but in the end we still can't blow up the pontoon, then we can only accept it.

What would have happened if the bombing had failed? I don't dare to think about it, because it may mean that the Korean War will continue, and although the Korean War in history ended after this war, who can guarantee that my arrival will not change history?

"Boom ......" was just as I was wandering, and a series of water columns exploded in the aperture of the telescope, and these water columns were connected together like a giant python lurking in the Bukhan River. When these giants* rushed up, the water of the Bukhan River seemed to be 'pumped' out in an instant, and it was a dozen inches shorter, so much so that I could clearly feel this in my binoculars.

I don't know if the pontoon bridge was blown up or not, because those two sections of pontoon bridge disappeared in this world 'wave' in just one moment. However, one thing is for sure, those puppet troops, cars, tanks, etc. on the pontoon bridge will definitely not be pleased. Because even if the pontoon bridge is not broken, they will be swept into the river by this huge *.

When the river falls, it causes a chain reaction of the river to surge violently on both sides, and in an instant, it rolls up the puppet army, observers, machine gun positions that are defending on both sides of the strait, and even the puppet army with machine guns to assist on the 522.1 heights

I was stunned and couldn't close my mouth for a long time, I didn't mean to do this, I didn't expect that dozens of explosive 'drug' packets would explode together with such great power. However, it seems that it is not bad to have this result, and a few more deaths of the puppet army are not a bad thing for us in any way

Come to think of it, the explosives bags used by our volunteers are all bought by the Soviet Union, and they are all filled with TNT, and the power is not comparable to the black fire explosives and explosives bags in the early days of the Korean War. It is not surprising that these hundreds of pounds of TNT exploded in the river and caused such a small tsunami.

Look at the two sections of pontoon bridges, where is there still hope for preservation, without exception broken into a few sections and drifted downstream along the river.

At this moment, even the sound of guns and cannons on the battlefield disappeared, and all the soldiers, whether they were volunteers or puppet soldiers, were stunned by this scene.

"Hey, this bomb is so good" After a long time, Li Weiqiang shook his senses from the amazing scene in front of him, and exclaimed: "The feeling is that this puppet army has done too many bad things in peacetime, and the river god will not be able to get along with them, and he will kill them."

"Go and ......" Li Pinghe replied angrily: "We are in the land of North Korea, and the river of North Korea also has our Chinese gods?" ”

"We're here, and the river god is coming," Li Weiqiang quibbled.

"Well played"

"Well fried"

……

The battle suddenly erupted in the cheers of the soldiers, and there were even charging horns and shouts of killing on the 522.1 heights. Obviously, the explosion just now gave the soldiers a great encouragement, both in substance and in spirit. So Hu Biao took the opportunity to launch a counterattack with the soldiers with high morale.

On the contrary, the puppet army was overwhelmed by an inexplicable explosion and the resulting flooding of the river. Not counting the cars, tanks and troops on the pontoon bridge that fell into the river, even the puppet army that gathered on the north bank and waited to attack the 522.1 heights was swept away by the river.

Under the elimination of the other, the puppet army no longer had the slightest will to fight, and fled in all directions under the rain of bullets and bullets of the soldiers.

The battle was soon over. Hu Biao commanded very well, and did not let the soldiers rush down the high ground to chase the fleeing puppet army. Otherwise, they will most likely never return to the high ground. After all, the artillery of the puppet army is staring at our high ground all the time.

It's just that those puppet troops are cheaper, if Hu Biao and they rush down the mountain to chase and kill, the puppet army that was originally fighting against the water and the pontoon bridge was blown up will hardly have any chance of survival. But now they can trek around the flanks of the heights and merge with the puppet deserters from the north.

I watched with satisfaction as the puppet troops on the 522.1 heights withdrew to the garrison for repair, put away the binoculars, and breathed a sigh of relief. Without the threat of the new force of the Puppet Seventh Division on the south bank, the pressure on the 522.1 heights has undoubtedly been greatly reduced, and there should be no problem in holding out until dark.

"The regiment commander should go back to the regiment headquarters" Xu Yongwei reminded beside him: "The puppet army has suffered such a big loss, and it will definitely be used to use cannonballs to vent gas after a while."

"Hmm," I nodded, turned around and walked along the 'Jiao' trench towards the regimental headquarters. At this point, there is no more hostility to observe outside, and there is no point in me venturing outside.

As soon as they returned to the regiment headquarters, Liu Shunyi and other soldiers happily greeted him, shouting in a chaotic voice: "Regiment commander, you fought well."

"The fight was too enjoyable, not only relieved the siege of the 522.1 heights, but also made the puppet army suffer a big loss"

……

"Commander, Commander Wu is also very happy" Liu Shunyi said with a smile: "Just now he also said in the telegram that if there is such a thing in the future, let Commander Cui, you must not forget their 539 regiment"

There was a coax, and the soldiers all burst out laughing.

From their eyes, I deeply felt a sense of pride and excitement of victory. If it were any other occasion, perhaps it would be time for us to celebrate. But the whistling of shells in the sky reminded me that the battle was not over, that the situation was still grim, and that we were still surrounded by the enemy.

We are the nets, and the enemy is the fish. The more it was time to reel in the net, the more the fish struggled, and now it was time to fight the fish and break the net
