Chapter 565: Battle of Shimen (4)

A few minutes later, an earth-shattering explosion sounded in vain, and the monstrous flames accompanied by billowing smoke rose into the sky, and the bridge body of the Shahe Bridge, which had been built for some years, could not withstand the impact of the violent explosion and collapsed one after another.

Countless pieces of rubble flew in all directions with the shock wave, and in the dark night, a large number of earth and stones sank into the rolling sand river, splashing countless waves and splashes.

The violent explosion resounded in all directions, and it could be heard clearly for more than ten miles from far and near! The impact of the terrifying shock wave was really felt by the Japanese puppet army in the bridgehead bunkers and turrets on the north bank of the Shahe River.

Many of them were asleep at the time, and many of them were almost scared to death by the sound of direct and terrifying earth tremors and explosions of landslides and earth cracks.

The flames that rose into the sky lit up a large area of the night sky, and under the scarlet illumination, Jiang Haidong led more than 600 elite soldiers to retreat along the whole body.

The Japanese puppet army in Cheng'an Town quickly got the news, and while frightened, they quickly reported to the headquarters of the Western Route Army that was still in Dingzhou.

When the news came, the old devil was sleeping in the bedroom, and the adjutant's rapid knock on the door woke him up.

The old devil on the side of the Chuan Kang curtain was disturbed by his good dreams, and when he opened the door and walked out, he opened his mouth to scold the adjutant, and after spraying the blood of the dog he scolded, he asked angrily: "Say, what's the matter?" ”

The adjutant lowered his head as if walking on thin ice and said: "General, there is an emergency in the direction of Cheng'an Town, not long ago, the Shahe Bridge was attacked, the bridge was blown up, and the garrison of the stronghold south of the bridge was completely wiped out!" ”

"What?" Chuan Kang was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly felt sleepy, pulled the military coat draped on his body and asked angrily: "Baga, what does the garrison do to eat?" How could it be taken lightly by the Chinese army and destroy such an important bridge? ”

The adjutant said in his heart, you ask me, I ****** ask who to go, on a cold day, crawled out of the quilt and reported the emergency military situation to you, your **** not only rewarded and comforted two words, but opened his mouth and scolded.

Of course, on the surface, the adjutant was still very respectful, lowered his head and shook his head, and said, "I don't know much about my humble position. ”

Chuan Kang snorted coldly: "Bastard, it's useless, it's just a bunch of waste." ”

The adjutant was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe, for fear that Chuan Kang would be angry with him under the margin, but fortunately, after the old devil vented his anger for a while, he put on his military coat and walked directly towards the combat conference room.

He was told to inform the other officers to come to the meeting quickly, and the adjutant took the order as if he had been granted amnesty.

Soon, several important officers of the headquarters rushed to hear the news, and although they were sleepy, they all fought hard, saluted to the side of the Kawayasu curtain, and sat down on both sides of the conference table.

Chuan Kang leaned back on the chair in the first place, lit a cigarette and said: "The people of China attacked the Shahe Bridge south of Cheng'an Town, which is the main traffic artery between Dingzhou and Xinle, what do you think about this?" ”

A big Zuo immediately spoke: "Your Excellency, as far as you know, this sand river is just a small river less than twenty or thirty meters wide, and we can completely let the Imperial Cooperative Army on the front line build a new bridge." Even without bridges, these creeks don't really block our logistical supplies and transportation. ”

Hearing what his subordinate officers said, the old devil on the side of Chuan Kang's curtain was a little relieved, nodded, and asked, "This is not a big problem, so I want to hear your opinion on whether the troops will continue to attack?" ”

Just now, the big Zuo continued: "Your Excellency, you think that we should continue to go south and launch an attack, after all, the front army headquarters has clearly called, asking us to speed up the attack and push the battlefield to the so-called base of the Dragon's Tooth Column in China as much as possible. ”

As soon as his words fell, another adjutant objected: "Your Excellency General, I always feel that the Zhina Army fled without a fight this time, and it may be a trap to take the initiative to abandon Xinle County, and the unfortunate death of Beidao Dazuo, who led the team before, is the best proof."

Although you have sent someone to take over the post of Kitajima Daisa, now the Shina Army has attacked and destroyed the necessary bridge between our front-line troops and the rear.

With the cunning of the Dragon's Tooth Column in the past, the humble position still thinks that it is necessary to act cautiously and let the front-line troops stay in Xinle County for the time being, just in case, and wait for us to build a new bridge before making plans. ”

The devil Osa who spoke before was very dissatisfied with someone refuting his point of view: "Kojima-kun, you shouldn't be scared because of Kitajima Osa's death, right?" Did I hear that he was your distant cousin? ”

"Sakai-kun, what do you mean by that?" Osa, named Kojima, said with some displeasure.

Sakai Osa snorted coldly: "I said that you were frightened by the people of China, the front army headquarters has already ordered us to speed up the attack, but now because a bridge was blown up, you persuaded the general to stagnate, not frightened, what is it?"

Once the front command is to blame, who will be held accountable at that time? ”

"Bastard, it's not like this, the Dragon's Tooth Column is cunning, if we are not careful, we may fall into the trap of the other side, so as to follow in the footsteps of the 5th Division and the 10th Division, and at that time, there will be no place to cry.

Moreover, more than 90 percent of the troops participating in this war were all Imperial Allied troops with low combat strength and inferior equipment, and if they were not fully prepared, once there was any impact on logistics, it would probably have a fatal impact on them.

These Imperial Allies may be okay to fight a smooth battle, but once they are defeated, they will definitely be defeated and irreversible! Kojima Osa was a little annoyed, stood up as he spoke, and said eagerly to Kawayasu: "General, what you say is very likely to happen, so please think twice and be cautious." ”

Sakai Daisa over there wanted to say something, but Major General Kawayasu Makube slapped the table suddenly: "Yaga! That's enough! When is it that you, as high-ranking Imperial officers, are still arguing here? With this momentum, it is better to go to the front line and command the Imperial Alliance Army to fight! ”

Sakai Daisa was taken aback, although he was angry, but he hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and his old face turned red and said: "Your Excellency the general taught me that you know that you are wrong, please punish you." "Just kidding, in the middle of the night, no one wants to go to the front line to lead the rabble of the Imperial Allied Army to fight against the cunning and powerful Dragon's Tooth Column.

Osaku Kojima also lowered his head, indicating that he was soft.

Kawayasu didn't think too much about them, thought about it, and said, "Let's do what Kojima-kun said, although it will slow down the attack time, but after all, it is safe and will not make a big mistake!" However, it is necessary to organize the Imperial Cooperative Army as much as possible, repair the bridges that were blown up, and at the same time strengthen the patrol and vigilance in the area from Shahe to Xinle, so that the Chinese army can no longer be given any chance. ”
