Chapter 380: Hidden Sabotage
After the Cossack Empire last purchased the retired and refurbished weapons of the Chinese Empire, in order to unify the weapon specifications, they eliminated the Arthur 88 rifles, some Haqikes heavy machine guns and some old artillery guns that were originally used in their own country and equipped the army of Kokand.
Wang Xiucheng stood on the bank of the river, looking at the Kokand position on the other side of the river, Wang Xuan's personal guard captain was now the deputy commander of the Fourth Armored Cavalry Corps of the National Defense Army.
"What's the matter, we can't make progress too slowly, I heard that Commander Su has led the team to break into the territory of the Cossack Empire, and it is said that there have been several beautiful battles, if we are too embarrassed, we will lose the face of the eldest lady." Chen Junhe, who was dressed in a field uniform, walked next to Wang Xiucheng.
Chen Junhe was originally the commander of the Second Guard Division under Wang Xuan, and now he has become the commander of the Fourth Armored Cavalry Corps. At this moment, he also picked up the binoculars and looked at the other side of the river and said: "The enemy's defense line is well constructed, it seems that the Cossacks are helping, we can't fight hard." ”
Wang Xiucheng frowned and said: "Lao Chen, I don't have to worry about how to break through the defense line now, for this kind of fish-belly division, we can easily defeat them, but we are an armored army, the proportion of combat vehicles is very high, and most of the combat effectiveness is in mechanized equipment, if you rely on a pontoon bridge to cross the river, you can't let a twenty-two-ton tank pass." ”
Chen Junhe nodded and said, "Yes, we must allow the chariot to cross the river, and it is best for us to think of a way to capture the Lepser Bridge." ”
"Lepser Bridge?" Wang Xiucheng put down the binoculars: "This difficulty is very high. "The Lepser Bridge is the best bridge on the Kashgar River, not to mention passing through the 22-ton Grizzly 1 tank, even the heavy tractor with a 203-mm cannon can easily pass.
Wang Xiucheng said: "The Cossacks can't take it lightly, they must have planted explosives on the bridge, if we attack, as soon as the chariot steps on the bridge, I'm afraid they will explode." ”
Chen Junhe nodded and said, "Yes, we have to outwit, or Cheng Hui can help." Then Chen Junhe turned back to the guard and said, "Go and call Cheng Hui." ”
After a while, a middle-aged officer in his thirties walked briskly, his figure was burly, his steps were light, the equipment on his body did not make a sound when he walked, and the whole person exuded a terrifying murderous aura, and he looked like a veteran of a hundred battles. Coming to Chen Junhe and Wang Xiucheng, he said with a standard military salute: "Cheng Hui, the captain of the special operations team, is here by order." ”
Although Cheng Hui is also surnamed Cheng, he has nothing to do with the Cheng family of the Lanfang Empire, he is a native of Tongshan County, and he is one of the first soldiers to join the Chinese Special Operations Division, but later he got older, and caught up with Shang Xiaoyu to promote special operations in the whole army, he and a group of old comrades-in-arms retired from the special operations division and were assigned to various army-level units responsible for the formation of military special operations teams.
Chen Junhe turned his head with a smile, nodded at Cheng Hui and said, "Come on, Old Cheng, I will give you a difficult task this time." ”
Cheng Hui said with a smile: "The commander gives an order, I can't get a battle if I follow the main force every day, and the little cubs under my command have long had itchy hands." It doesn't matter if the task is arduous, our special operations unit is ready to accomplish the arduous task. ”
Wang Xiucheng also came over and said, "Okay, the fighting mood is very high, and soldiers should be like this." ”
Chen Junhe also nodded and said, "This mission is indeed a bit arduous, I want you to capture the Lepser Bridge." I will let the troops start an offensive against the Kokand army on the other side of the river tomorrow morning to attract their attention, but I will vacate the vicinity of the bridge. ”
Hearing this, Wang Xiucheng also understood what Chen Junhe meant, and he smiled: "Are you asking them to go to the night attack?" ”
Chen Junhe nodded: "Yes, you have to carry out a night attack, occupy the bridge while they are unprepared, and dismantle the explosives, and hold on to the reinforcements of the army." ”
Cheng Hui pondered for a moment and said, "There is no problem, I guarantee the completion of the task." ”
Chen Junhe: "If there are any difficulties, what equipment is needed, just mention it." ”
Cheng Hui said: "I need to add a batch of submachine guns and mortars, as well as the latest kind of glare grenades and a few recoilless guns. ”
Hearing Cheng Hui's words, Li Xiucheng said with a smile: "You have found out the military commander's family background, the military commander's good things are going to be taken out now, even the recoilless cannon that has just been issued for testing." ”
Chen Junhe said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as you can complete the task, you can give whatever you want." Hearing Chen Junhe's affirmative answer, Cheng Hui nodded again and again, patting his chest to promise to complete the task.
The next morning, Chen Junhe launched an attack as promised, under the cover of continuous bombardment by a large number of howitzers and even chariot guns, a small group of troops rowing rubber boats began to cross the river, because it was a feint, the offensive of the Wehrmacht was not sharp, just to fatigue the enemy and attract the attention of the Kokand army, and he mainly wanted to preserve his strength and reduce casualties.
While the whole line of defense was under heavy artillery fire and gunfire, it was very quiet near the Lepser Bridge, and there was not even a Wehrmacht figure to be found near this bridge, only the Kokand patrol that walked by from time to time on the bridge, and a few soldiers holding their positions in the machine gun bunkers piled up with sandbags on both sides of the bridge, and they were all looking forward to the distant battlefield defense line, hoping to know the situation on the battlefield.
At this time, in the woodland three hundred meters away from the left side of the bridge, a man with leaves tied to his whole body was squatting on a big tree and observing with a telescope, he was Cheng Hui, the captain of the special operations team, who was conducting reconnaissance at the moment.
"Damn, there's no shortage of explosives." Looking at the steel frame beams under the bridge deck full of explosives, he couldn't help but curse, these Kokand people are really cowardly, for fear that the bridge will not be clean, they actually spread explosives on the steel frame beams, looking at a black fuse connecting all the explosives, and finally leading to a hut guarding the bridge on the other side of the river, he feels that things are a little tricky.
The security on the bridge is very tight, and there are still many people on the other side, if you force the attack, it is estimated that the other party will explode before the bridge is occupied. If you pass through the river, the noise is too loud, and there are many positions on both sides of the bridge, although there are not many troops, it is enough to eliminate the special operators who have no shelter in the river.
"How's it going, Captain?" The special combat team members who were lying in ambush in the depths of the woods saw the captain return and came up one after another to inquire about the situation. Cheng Hui shook his head and said: "The defense is very tight, this task is not easy to do, come over and let's sum it up first." ”
When night fell, Cheng Hui and his team members had already made their disguises, lay on the edge of the woods, and looked at a searchlight sweeping across the river, Cheng Hui frowned. Originally, he wanted to climb over slowly, but with the searchlight, it was much more difficult.
