Chapter 47: Xu Bao's Death II (Climax)

And when Li Quanshan was checking the information of the strange soldiers, the troops of the Third Regiment of the Red Army on the other side were not idle.

After the soldiers of the third regiment changed the west bridgehead of Luding Bridge, the members of the strange army team led a group of soldiers into the nearby deep mountains, and the big knives in their waists became tools for chopping wood, and they chiseled the bridge board in the mountains.

It turned out that after the enemy saw that the strange soldiers took the west end of the bridge, they were afraid that the Red Army would take the opportunity to attack, so they dismantled all the bridge slabs laid on the Luding Bridge, and set up machine guns on the other side of the bridge, and waited for the battle.

And this Luding Bridge, across the Dadu River, is located in the west side of Luding County, the east bridge and the west city gate are connected with each other, the mountains on both sides of the bridge are undulating, the high cliffs are clamped, a water flows, the river roars and rushes, like a dragon with teeth and claws.

According to records, this bridge was built in the Kangxi period, the bridge body is 101.67 meters (meters) in length, 2.67 meters wide, it is composed of 13 stout iron cables pulled from the east bank to the west bank, 9 iron cables are used as bottom cables, there are two on each side to do bridge railings, the bridge deck is to lay bridge plates, in order to pass people, the Dadu River is thousands of miles away, there is only such a only bridge, it is a throat artery.

Now, although the enemy did not have time to completely dismantle the bridge slab, it also made most of the Lugou Bridge a bare iron cable, a cold iron cable, and a rushing river under the bridge, which outlined this dangerous place thrillingly.

It is the mountain people who often pass by here on weekdays, and every time they walk here, they can't help but slow down and walk with their wings.

In addition, the Nationalist army held on to the opposite side, erected a large number of machine guns and mortars, and the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fired at each other to build fortifications, and for a while, they fell into a stalemate.

In the end, Han Xin proposed to let the strange soldiers attack under the cover of the large army, and the laying of this bridge board naturally became an indispensable part.

In the afternoon, Han Xin and others rushed back, time was tight, and Chiang Kai-shek, who had reacted, might transfer a large army to besiege at any time.

So he didn't dare to delay, Han Xin immediately asked the members of the Strange Soldiers team to prepare ammunition and weapons, and prepared to storm Lugou Bridge.

There were originally 16 people left in the Odd Soldier Team, and the old six stone forests in the Eight Stones were still recuperating from their injuries, so there were only 15 people left, and Lin Dashan selected seven more people from the three regiments, all of whom were strong young men, so there were a total of 22 members of the Odd Soldiers team who fought this time.

Han Xin's task assignment to everyone is: each member of the Odd Soldier Team is equipped with a submachine gun, a grenade, and a big knife, and is divided into two echelons.

Han Xin led the first echelon to rush to kill, and Xu Bao led the five people of the second echelon to lay the bridge in the rear.

For this reason, Xu Bao was reluctant, but was strongly rejected by Han Xin, looking at the old squad leader's already somewhat gray hair, Han Xin said that he would not let him take any risks.

Everything.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of May 29, the battle finally began, Lin Dashan gave an order, and all the weapons of the three regiments opened fire on the opposite side together.

Under the leadership of Han Xin, the soldiers of the Odd Soldier Team jumped out of the fortifications with grenades around their waists, broadswords on their backs, and submachine guns in one hand, and then braved the rain of bullets under the cover of their comrades and climbed the rope bridge swinging in the air.

The rope bridge was cold, the rivers under the bridge were roaring, and the enemy on the opposite side was shooting wildly, Han Xin was concentrating, vigorous and fast, stepping on the bottom rope, with a big knife on his back, holding a gun in one hand and grasping the guardrail in the other, and marching sideways.

"Cover, damn it, fire me with all my might, so that those sons of bitches can't even lift their heads." Lin Dashan was roaring, and the voice fell, and the soldiers of the three regiments went crazy.

The bullets fired fatally, the machine gun frantically burst, the only mountain gun didn't care that the barrel was already hot, and kept firing, and some soldiers couldn't help but throw the grenade out, but unfortunately the 100-meter Luding Bridge is really not short, and no one can throw the grenade out of a hundred meters away.

Lin Dashan's heart hurt when he saw it, and he called it a pity, this fucking old man was gone, but he didn't say anything, and he was firing wildly with a light machine gun in his own hand.

The crazy scene was staged, and it was very effective, under the maximum firepower of the soldiers of the three regiments, the national army on the other side was really as Lin Dashan said, and they couldn't raise their heads when they were suppressed.

I could only cower behind the fortifications, and I didn't care about attacking the Strange Soldiers who were climbing.

"Tuanza, the bandits are crazy, the firepower is too fierce, what should I do?" The deputy general of the national army was lying behind the fortifications, and the bullets above his head that could kill him at any time kept shuttling, some hitting the fortifications, and the flying mud and dust made him a little discouraged.

Li Quanshan is no better at the moment, the majesty of the head of the regiment has long been gone, the old face looks a little dark under the smoke of gunpowder, his face is gloomy, flashing with ruthlessness, "Burn this pavilion to me, and then order the artillery battalion to shoot the mortars out to me at all costs, aiming at the main force of the Red Army opposite."

After the chaos of the communist bandits, the machine guns opened fire with all their might, and they were all remembered by Lao Tzu, not to destroy the main force of the Red Army on the opposite side, but to shoot down all these guys who climbed the iron cable. ”

"Yes!" The deputy general took the order and left, leaving Li Quanshan with a gloomy face, and at a certain moment, a cruel smile suddenly hung on the corner of his mouth, "Strange soldiers, I, Li, will let you be completely buried in the Dadu River this time, and be with the fish and shrimp." ”

The odd soldiers are still moving forward, and under the leadership of Han Xin, they have reached the middle section of the Luding Bridge, and Xu Bao spared no effort to lay the bridge with the soldiers of the second echelon, and gradually followed.

Xu Bao's movements were fast, completely ignoring the exhaustion and the danger that kept flying, the bullets were whistling, the artillery was roaring, he seemed to have ignored life and death, and the only insistence was to be laid in the shortest possible time......

The early stage of the matter went very smoothly, but Han Xin knew that the national army was not stupid, and would definitely launch a desperate counterattack, and he had been on guard, but when the enemy's counterattack appeared, he realized that it was far more cruel than he imagined.

The pavilion at the opposite bridgehead was set on fire by the enemy, and the smoke billowed down, and a gust of wind swept in, obscuring the sight of the Red Army soldiers.

Han Xin climbed to the front, and when he discovered the enemy's intentions, he raised the submachine gun with his right hand and shot wildly, but the national army seemed to have received a death order, even if he used up all the bullets and killed dozens of national troops in one go.

Under the successive succession of the national army, the mortar array was still erected.

"Beware, Commander"

This was the only hint that Han Xin could send, but the roaring river made a surging loud noise, and the smoke of the war was constantly roaring, and Han Xin's voice was quickly extinguished in these chaotic commotions, and was not heard by Lin Dashan behind him at all.

A deafening voice sounded, although Lin Dashan, who had a strong sense of battle, spotted the cannonballs flying in the sky in time and gave the biggest roar prompt.

But the artillery fire is relentless, and it is not that you can avoid it if you are prepared, and the soldiers of the three regiments will be killed and wounded in an instant.

The smoke was about to clear, Han Xin was still moving forward, and now he didn't care about reviewing the casualties of the soldiers, he had to lead the soldiers of the Odd Soldier Team to rush over, so as to be worthy of everyone's bloodshed and sacrifice.

Han Xin who was moving forward was unusually calm, although the time was short and urgent, he was still thinking quickly about the purpose of the enemy's move, an ominous premonition flooded his heart, and Han Xin, who reacted, turned his head suddenly.

shouted at Xu Bao and the others who were laying the bridge, "Lie down and lie down!" ”

The hoarse roar, accompanied by the rows of black holes of machine guns revealed by the dissipation of the thick fog, the bullets mercilessly devoured everything, and the soldiers of the Strange Soldiers who were laying the bridge before they had time to react fell in an instant.

"Squad leader......" Han Xin's eyes turned red instantly, and then he saw a figure struggling a few times and getting up and continuing to lay the bridge plank, which made him a little more reasonable.

It turned out that Xu Bao, the leader of the third squad, was only overwhelmed by the other soldiers who laid the bridge plank, and was not injured, which was related to the fact that he did not hesitate to lie down after hearing Han Xin's shout, and escaped the fire sneak attack of the national army.

Originally, Han Xin arranged them in the position of laying the bridge slab, just to reduce the risk of their death, but he didn't expect to be targeted by the enemy, and most of the casualties were killed.

Therefore, even though he was not very sad because everyone was not familiar with him and did not have many personal emotions on weekdays, Han Xin still felt a nameless anger burning in his heart.

With an instant acceleration, Han Xin braved the rain of bullets and skewered forward a few meters again, and had already walked most of the Luding Bridge, he put the submachine gun on his body, and then quickly pulled a grenade from his waist, and with a bite and a tear in his mouth, the smoking grenade flew towards the fortified position of the opposing army.

Bang! With a loud bang, Han Xin, who had a good head, blew up several national soldiers behind the fortifications.

Han Xin didn't stop, he threw the grenade on his waist at a very fast speed, and in the roar, he raised the submachine gun that had been re-pressed again, and fired wildly.

The morale of the national army was greatly shaken, and the Red Army soldiers who witnessed all this were greatly demoralized, and the firepower became more and more ferocious after reacting from the enemy's artillery fire.

"Rush, give me the bridge, use a grenade to blow up the dog on the other side", Lin Dashan saw that Han Xin took the lead and killed dozens of enemies, which was already in danger, and the soldiers of the odd army had already suffered casualties, and most of the bridge plate of the bottom cable of the Luding Bridge had been laid, so he immediately ordered.

Hearing this, the soldiers of the 3rd Regiment quickly pounced on the bridge plank, and after advancing a sufficient distance, they took out a large number of grenades and threw them at the enemy.

The power of one hundred and ten grenades was extraordinary, and the national army was stunned for a while, and in this short gap, Han Xin had already taken the lead in arriving at the opposite side, relying on a few big trees, and shooting at the national army not far away across the fortifications.

After that, the members of the other strange soldiers also climbed the Luding Bridge, joined Han Xin, and blocked the enemy together, covering the follow-up of the follow-up soldiers.
