Chapter 97: Blowing Up the Bridge
After some preparation, Wei San went to a dilapidated building where the prisoners were held, and took off the military uniforms of several Southern soldiers, which will be used later.
I went to get some ammunition and explosives packs, and left Tokugawa Castle from the south of Tokugawa with nine men.
Further south of the Datong River are Beicang and Monsan, where a large number of American troops have been gathered, reinforcements came late, they began to deploy around these two cities, and also have close ties with Ningyuan east of Tokugawa, take Tokugawa, it is bound to be a round of counterattack by the American troops in these three places, the bridge here can provide a convenient path for the American army, so in order to allow the troops to have time to repair, the bridge can not stay.
The most important thing is that the 9th Corps wants to use this time to solve the troubles behind it, and it is not easy to feel the enemy on its back.
Coming out of Tokugawa, walking more than ten kilometers is the Datong River, and during the retreat of the American troops, minefields were laid on the road, which did not escape the eyes of Chen Zilu, so they did not approach the Datong River along the main road.
Following the path next to the main road, they spared a distance, climbed the mountain and walked through the forest to the Datong River.
Because the departure was very early, more than four o'clock in the afternoon set off, there was no rest along the way, after dark, they approached the bank of the Datong River, and also found the bridge on the Datong River that is more than 100 meters long, which is very unfavorable to them, now they are in a mudflat overgrown with weeds on the bank of the river, and see that the bridge is illuminated by the searchlights of the US military, there are two teams of dozens of patrols on the bridge, and the two ends of the bridge are also closely guarded by the US military, and the bunkers and sandbag bunkers distributed at both ends of the bridge show that the US military attaches great importance to this place.
Naturally, they should pay attention to it, this is the fastest way for them to recapture Tokugawa, and there can be no mistakes, and Wei San can guess that if they wait until dawn, thousands of American troops will walk past the bridge, but in addition to passing through here, they will have to pass through the bridge dozens of kilometers downstream.
Wei San pushed aside the grass and muttered to himself, "If only there was a remotely controlled bomb, wait for half of the American troops to be released, blow up the bridge, and then eat the part of the people they came over......
After Wei San's muttering was heard by Chu Jian, he asked, "Squad leader, can the bomb still be controlled remotely?" ”
Wei San: "Of course, there are more types of long-range detonation bombs and time bombs, but they haven't been made yet." ”
Chu Jian: "Then how do you know?" ”
Guard: "I can not know the prophet!" ”
Chu Jian: "Uh......"
At both ends of the bridge there was a road, and jeeps with their headlights on were patrolling back and forth, and the path on the riverbank was also patrolled by their troops, and two jeeps drove far away, and Wei San quickly restored the dead grass to its original state, and two jeeps carrying South Korean soldiers drove past them.
The cold glint in Wei San's eyes receded, the patrol was still like that, if there was no other mission, Wei San might have killed them, he didn't forget that Li Shun almost died at the hands of this group of soldiers of the South Korean Second Army.
Chu Jian pressed down the muzzle of the gun and asked in a low voice, "Squad leader, how to do it?" ”
Wei San: "Regardless of them, let's go down the river, it's important to blow up the bridge!" ”
Speaking of the river, don't forget, now is the cold winter wax moon, the river here is not frozen, compared to the altitude of more than 1000 meters above the Changjin Lake, the temperature here is obviously a lot higher, in a few degrees below zero fluctuations, so the river is still the same, but also because the rushing river water is very rapid can not freeze.
Gawa looked at the river and was a little worried, this will freeze to death, although the water is not frozen, it does not mean that it is not cold, he imagined what it would be like when his body was immersed in this cold and biting river water.
Before going down the river, Gava shivered first, and Wei San chuckled when he saw it: "What? Scared before you get into the water? It's okay if you don't want to go, but let me tell you in advance that there's no place for you in the Special Combat Team! ”
Gava straightened her neck: "I can, believe it or not, I'll be the first to go into the water!" As he spoke, Gava was about to take off her clothes and go into the water.
Wei San stopped him: "Don't take off your clothes, if it goes on like this, we won't have time to come back and get dressed, and the bullets of the US army won't give you a chance when the time comes!" ”
Wei San clapped his hands: "Okay, I'll talk about our operational arrangements again, we will swim under the bridge with arms, if we are not discovered, we will still evacuate from here, because the mud here will stop the US military's car, so as not to be caught up by the crazy US military, if it is discovered in advance, we will escape from the upstream!" And then converge five kilometers upstream, all understood? ”
Everyone nodded and said, "Understood!" ”
Wei San pointed to the explosives bag with his hand: "Remember, the explosives bag must not be soaked in water!" ”
Everyone nodded again, the two explosive bags they brought this time were important props for their operation, in case there could be no accident, in case they climbed the bridge and braved the rain of bullets and bullets to load the explosive bags on the bridge piers failed, then there was really no reason.
Wei San said solemnly: "The mission is very dangerous, there may be casualties, I remind again, don't try to save anyone, because that will slow down our evacuation, we are not safe if we don't leave the enemy's shooting distance, I don't want to kill our whole team because of someone!" Do you all understand? ”
The atmosphere was solemn for a moment, and immediately everyone nodded heavily: "Understood!" ”
Wei San's hand was compared to a knife, and he slashed out towards the position of the bridge: "Let's go!" ”
The soldiers who came this time began to go into the water, Gava really rushed to the front, the cold water did not pass his thighs, his teeth clenched, and then leaned forward, the whole person entered the water, a feeling of being completely wrapped in the cold, so that Gava couldn't stop fighting a cold war, but in order not to be looked down upon by Wei San, and also wanted to be a member of the special combat team, he never shouted a word, and waited until his body began to adapt to the water temperature, his face looked a little better.
The river is not deep, only reaching the chest, which provides convenience for the fighters carrying explosives bags, the team slowly touched the piers of the bridge, the enemy's searchlights swept over the river, so that they were always worried that they would be discovered by the enemy in the next moment, and then they would be greeted by a wave of intensive strafing, in the river the body is not as flexible as on land, whether you can dodge the bullets depends on the luck of the individual.
Everyone slowly approached the bridge pier, because it was already close, the headlight of the searchlight began to dazzle, they submerged the parts of their bodies below the nose in the water, holding the gun in both hands, as if surrendering seemed a little funny, the gun is their life, and they will have to rely on Wei San to extinguish the enemy's searchlight later!
Thanks to the enemy did not hang the soldiers on the piers, otherwise no matter how well they were hidden, they would have to be discovered, and several people touched the piers in the searchlight's incessant glances, and the cement piers were several meters thick, and if you wanted to blow up the piers, you had to climb the piers and send the explosives package to the bridge to detonate, which was easy to expose.
At the same time, there is no way to do it, otherwise the US military would not have swaggered on the bridge so reassuringly, and no one looked under the bridge all the time.
It is not easy to climb the bridge pier to reach the bridge above, the bridge is more than four meters high from their position, and if they want to get there, they have to build a human wall, the three warriors really stabilized themselves in the river, and in the gap after the searchlight sweeped, the two quickly jumped on their shoulders, and another person flexibly began to climb the human wall that had already erected two layers, and the person holding the explosive bag was Wei San.
Holding Chu Jian's shoulder, Wei San flew and jumped on his shoulder, Chu Jian and another soldier raised their shoulders upward, seeing that Wei San was about to glue the glued side of the explosives caught under his armpit to the bridge, there was a shout from the US army: "There are people under the bridge!" ”
When the soldiers heard this voiced bird, they knew that they had been exposed, but now they were not allowed to retreat, and they had to send arrows on the string, holding the mentality that they had been exposed anyway, Chu Jian shouted: "Squad leader, !! ”
Wei San did not stop, and when he raised his arm, the searchlight of the enemy bridge to observe the river illuminated their position, and the American troops in the distance also ran from the bridge in a panic, and the heavy machine guns at the bridgehead also began to pull out the posture and shoot.!
