Chapter 1125: Blowing Up the Bridge
Everyone is waiting for the sound of the landslide and the ground cracking, the ground under their feet will tremble, the bridge will be destroyed, the Germans, there will be no way to cross it!
However, there was no sound in the back.
Badakhov looked strangely at Shchedrin behind him, Shchedrin's face was a little red, he continued to twist the detonating knob twice, but there was still no reaction.
Badakhov grabbed the battery, and in the moonlight, the shell of the battery became damp, and there seemed to be a lot of liquid in it, which was flowing outside.
"The battery is scrapped, are there any new batteries?" Badakhoff said.
At this most critical time, the battery used to detonate the electric detonator was broken!
No one answered, and their hearts were low. Without electric detonators, then you can only use fire detonators, however, they don't have enough fuses, and whoever goes, it means that they can't come back.
Suddenly, on the side of the river, the sound of a terrible 6.8mm assault rifle sounded!
Several Soviet soldiers, screaming and being hit, were hit, and the blood flowing from their bodies stained the positions red.
The Germans, just a few dozen meters away from their own side, had just stopped shooting, it turned out that they had made a detour, and they actually swam in the icy river, almost from their own side and rear!
The firepower of the other side was very fierce, and one soldier was killed almost before he had time to react.
"Boom!" A German paratrooper threw out a grenade, which hit the feet of several Soviet soldiers, and in the explosion, they were blown to a bloody pulp, and a severed arm, which flew right at the feet of Badakhov.
Badakhov's face changed greatly, the loss of the bridgehead position was in front of him, there was no protection on this side, and the Germans hit them right on the death hole.
"Kill the Germans!" Badakhov shouted loudly, he stood up, picked up his submachine gun, and fired at the German soldiers on one side, the flame of his muzzle so striking under the night sky.
"Da-da-da-da." Almost at the same time, gunfire rang out from his flanks, and the Germans were divided into two teams, and the Germans in front were slowly moving forward, and after the sneak attack was fired, they rushed desperately!
The 6.8mm bullet hit Badakhov's body, his fingers continued to pull the trigger, and his submachine gun swept down a German paratrooper, but the subsequent bullets were all fired into the sky, and his body swayed, and finally fell.
When his body fell heavily to the ground, his head rushed in the direction of the bridge, and in the night, a dark figure was running quickly in the direction of the middle of the bridge.
Shchedrin, not a deserter.
He gasped for breath and came to the middle of the bridge, he was on his knees with both hands, his lungs were a little deprived of oxygen due to the vigorous activity, so he had to stop for a while, he turned his head to look, on the other side of the bridge, the sound of fierce battles was constantly ringing, his comrades, were being slaughtered, he had no time!
With a fire detonator in his pocket, he began to climb down the pier.
In close combat, bolt-action rifles are a burden, and they are not even as fast as bayonets, and at this distance, repeating weapons have a considerable advantage.
The German paratroopers were outnumbered, but their firepower was dense enough to make up for their numerical shortcomings, and after paying the price of four soldiers, they finally killed the last Soviet soldier on the bridge.
Every paratrooper was panting, it was obvious that this hand-to-hand battle was cruel enough for them, and the soldiers who swam in the water didn't feel anything during the fierce battle, and now, they already felt chills all over their bodies.
The bridgehead on this side has been controlled, just wait for your own troops to arrive!
"Oh no, there's another one!" In the moonlight, Gad saw a figure that flashed from the middle of the bridge!
"Schroeder, kill him!"
The German soldier named Schroeder was a little different from the others, he carried a large backpack on his back, which was connected to the assault rifle in front by a cable, and at the upper end of the assault rifle, a headlight and an aiming device were added, and the baseline was high.
This device is the latest night vision device developed by Germany, which uses a large number of transistor components, reduces the size and improves the performance, but because the output is not high, there is only one set of such devices in each paratrooper squad.
Just now, it was Schroeder who shot and killed the platoon commander with a submachine gun, and he killed seven enemies alone, which is the most recorded, and this set of night vision devices is absolutely indispensable.
Now, having received the order, he ran to the edge of the bridge in a few steps, leaning out halfway to look down.
About five seconds later, the faint signal from the infrared receiver appeared in his sight, and the soldier climbed onto the pier of the bridge.
"Da-da-da," Schroeder pulled the bolt, and the 6.8mm bullet was fired towards the Soviet soldier.
The crisp sound of gunfire echoed in the night sky.
Shchedrin's body trembled, he knew that he had been hit, he turned his head and glanced at the bridge, where the flames from the rifle shot were still in his eyes due to visual retention, and his face was now smiling.
Germans, you're still too late!
Shchedrin had already inserted the fire detonator into the explosives, and with the last of his strength, he pulled the fuse.
Smoke rose from the fuse, the corners of his mouth quivered, but his voice was small: "Long live the Soviets!" ”
"Boom!" A huge explosion sounded, and just like that, the fire detonator detonated hundreds of kilograms of explosives below, and in an instant, the fire illuminated the entire surface of the river.
In the explosion, the piers of the bridge were blown off, and the bridge deck could not bear the huge weight and collapsed downward, and the bridge deck dozens of meters long between the legs of the two adjacent bridges fell downward.
The nearby bridge deck has been implicated, cracking large openings and appearing to be at risk of collapsing.
Looking at the damaged bridge, the German paratroopers were extremely depressed, their task was not completed, they did not protect the bridge!
At this time, in the east, the sky was already slightly white.
In the entire early period of the Soviet War of Resistance, from a macro point of view, the Soviet army was vulnerable, and under the blow of the German blitzkrieg, it seemed that there was no possibility of fighting back, and a large area of the army was surrendering, which disgraced the Soviet Union.
However, in each small battle, there are still stories to sing and cry about. For ordinary soldiers, there is no difference between justice and evil, and in the game of great powers, they are just chess pieces.
(East China Zhixiong suddenly sighed, as an ordinary person, I still hope to live a peaceful and prosperous world, no matter what the war, it is ordinary people who suffer in the end.) )
