Chapter 982: Blowing Up the Bridge
Yamashita Fengwen had a very bad premonition, he inserted the nail into Duyun City, at this time, I am afraid that he was pulled out by the government army of China, and lost contact for more than four hours, anything can happen, after all, the Yokoyama Wing is a lightly armed wing, and it is a lone army, and it is possible to be attacked by tens of thousands of government troops defended by Duyun, but Yokoyama Jinyong did not explain anything, so he lost contact with the headquarters inexplicably, so that he was at a loss for what happened in Duyun.
This feeling of losing the rhythm of the war is very bad, Yamashita Fengwen's original plan was to rest the whole army here for a night, to relieve the fatigue of the troops' continuous march, the main thing is to wait for the heavy equipment troops behind to keep up, there is no large number of heavy artillery units, even Yamashita Fengwen, who is extremely arrogant, does not think that the 15th Army can take down one town after another by using only infantry, and now, the Hengshan Jinyong Wing that occupies Xiyun Peak has no news, and Yamashita Fengwen will change the original rest plan, Ordered the troops to immediately drive to Duyun.
More than 90,000 Japanese troops, on the mountain road from Dushan to Duyun, pulled out a marching column that did not see the front and back, behind the infantry brigade in front, there was a baggage convoy composed of nearly 1,000 trucks, and countless mules and horses dragged artillery artillery units, trucks full of ammunition boxes, on the rugged mountain road, panting like cattle, crawling with difficulty, the Japanese baggage troops and artillery units, lagging behind the infantry for about half a day's journey.
Longtou River, the river is not more than 20 meters wide, in the dry season, pedestrians can wade across the river with trouser legs, if it catches up with the rainy season, the river can be about two meters deep, the river surface is as wide as dozens of meters, the turbidity waves are mixed with the trees and weeds washed down upstream, roaring and flowing into the distance. In the season of June in southern Qiannan, there is more rain, several heavy rains in the upper reaches of the river, and the current Longtou River, the turbid river roars and flows, as if it has become a big river with wide water and high waves.
When the infantry of the 15th Army crossed the river, they had good luck. On the river, I don't know that the stone bridge built that year is still intact, and when the mountain is under the mountain to cross the bridge. Riding on a tall horse, I glanced at the rushing river, and my heart despised the generals of the government army in China, a little more, this is the only way to Duyun. If the soldiers of China destroy the bridge, they will be able to stop the imperial army for at least three days, and it will cause great trouble to the artillery and baggage troops behind. The bridge is intact, and these concerns are gone.
Just as the Japanese infantry crossed the Longtou River, in the dense jungle and bushes on the south bank, lurked two groups of Chinese soldiers wearing completely different military uniforms. If you look closely, the dozens of soldiers whose badges are marked with the number of the 19th Group Army of the Central Army were forcibly subdued by another group of Chinese soldiers and pressed to the ground and unable to move, and the eyes of these soldiers of the Central Army were full of angry flames, but the muzzles of black holes in their heads were filled with holes. So that these soldiers of the Central Army did not dare to struggle.
The marching column of the Japanese army was like a long line. Rolling in the direction of Duyun, starting in the morning. It wasn't until the sunset stained the trees on the western peaks red, and it was not over, and after the sky was completely dark, the last group of Japanese soldiers crossed the stone bridge of the Longtou River and disappeared into the darkness on the north bank, and the footsteps were completely inaudible.
A colonel who was too young to talk to, waved his hand a little lazily, dozens of soldiers of the Central Army, finally gained freedom, and a lieutenant colonel of the Central Army who led the team, rubbed his numb arm, and asked angrily: "What part of you are?" Why did you stop us from blowing up the bridge and keeping a gun on our brother's head all day? ”
The young colonel, smiling slightly, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said: "I'm sorry, brothers of the Central Army, let me introduce myself, Chu Tian, the head of the special operations detachment of the North China Independent Division, this brother, what do you call it?" "The lieutenant colonel of the Central Army was stunned, the North China Independent Division has heard that it is a very capable team, in the north, it beats the little devils to the ground, but why did they appear here? Don't let the bridge be blown up, seeing the little devil crossing the river, what is An's intention?
In accordance with the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli, Chutian went all the special operations detachments deep into the area of southern Qiannan to reconnoiter all the movements of the Japanese army, and he himself took two detachments of more than 500 people into the area of the Longtou River between Dushan and Duyun, because the division commander mentioned that the Japanese army attacking all the way here was the 15th Army of the ace unit Yamashita Fengwen, and Chutian took it to heart and personally came to reconnoitre.
Guo Huawen ordered the special battalion to go to the Longtou River to blow up the bridge, and when the battalion commander Shi Jinsheng was busy working on the bridge with dozens of brothers, Chutian and the others had already arrived in the woods by the river.
As soon as the soldiers of the Central Army had planted the explosives, in less than ten minutes, the search troops of the 15th Army appeared in Chutian's telescope, and when the soldiers of the Central Army withdrew into the woods, they nervously looked at the Japanese infantry units rolling in, holding the electric ignition device tightly with both hands, obviously to blow up the bridge and prevent the Japanese infantry from crossing the river.
How do you know, this is a whole day, and when the Japanese infantry is all over, then pour out the time to speak, Chu Tian saw the hostility of this lieutenant colonel, and he didn't care, he still looked at him with a smile, Shi Jinsheng didn't see the hostility from Chu Tian's eyes, to be honest, with the means of these soldiers in strange military uniforms, if he killed his dozens of people silently, it would not be much more difficult than killing a few chickens, he was just angry, these soldiers of the independent division, let the little devils not fight, but deal with their own people.
Suppressing the unhappiness in his heart, Shi Jinsheng said: "Commander Chu, we are defending the special service battalion of the 19th Group Army of the Central Army in Duyun, and the lowly position is the battalion commander Shi Jinsheng, who came to blow up this bridge on the order of our Commander Guo.
Chu Tian said apologetically: "Battalion Commander Shi, the situation is urgent, and I have to take such a method, if I don't stop you in time, this bridge has already been blown up, right?" Shi Jin was so angry that he almost jumped up, isn't this nonsense, it's not you who are making trouble, this bridge with hundreds of little devils has already flown into the sky.
Chu Tian shook his head with a smile and said, "Battalion Commander Shi, the brothers have worked hard all day, come and eat something, if you have something to say slowly, I have a better idea, let's discuss," the special combat team members took out the field rations they carried with them, Shi Jinsheng was also a refreshing person, he was pushed to the ground for a day, his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, and he ate and chewed unceremoniously.
Seeing that the battalion commander had started eating, dozens of soldiers of the Central Army also ate unceremoniously, hey, they had eaten such delicious field food, and after eating a box, they were not embarrassed to look at the special combat team members, looking unfinished, the special combat team members smiled and took out things, and after coming and going, the two sides became acquainted, and the resentment that was pointed at the head by the gun disappeared unconsciously.
Chu Tian saw that Shi Jinsheng had almost eaten, and said: "Battalion Commander Shi, you see, the little devils used to be infantry, and it didn't make much sense to bomb them, according to my intelligence, in a few hours, the Japanese army's baggage troops and artillery units will catch up, how about we bomb them?" In particular, the artillery of the Japanese army is the greatest threat to all of you, and if you are here in Longtoujiang, give them the maximum blow, wouldn't it be more effective? ”
Shi Jinsheng patted his head and suddenly realized, it's not what's wrong, if the little devil doesn't have a cannon, the terrain of the city will be enough for the little devil infantry, and he will gnaw on it for a few months, "Chief Chu, you are still thoughtful, humble and admirable, say it, you take a charter, and these dozens of brothers under me will listen to you." ”
This is the result that Chu Tian wants, don't look at this Battalion Commander Shi who is five big and three thick, his head is not stupid, and he can see through it at a point, "Battalion Commander Shi, how many explosives have you buried under the bridge?" Chu Tian asked, "Two thousand eight hundred kilograms of high explosives, according to our Commander Guo's intentions, blow up the entire bridge into the sky, at least it can stop the little devil for three or two days, Chief Chu, do you have a new idea?" Shi Jinsheng saw that the commander of the special operations detachment of this independent division definitely had goods in his stomach.
Chu Tian nodded with a smile and said: "In this way, Battalion Commander Shi, after a while, my soldiers and your brothers will take out 1,500 kilograms of explosives, and plant dozens of explosive points along the road on the south bank of the Longtou River.
Shi Jinsheng slapped his thigh and said: "Okay, it's really a clever plan, if the little devil's ammunition truck is set on fire, it will be even more exciting, anyway, I'm full, just do it, if you want to fight the little devil, our brothers of the 19th Group Army are not ambiguous." ”
When Chutian gathered the special combat team members together, looking at the equipment of the independent division, Shi Jinsheng was so envious that he clicked his lips, there were more than 500 people in total, more than 60 mortars alone, and dozens of strange guns that could not be named, and the rest were all submachine guns.
At more than twelve o'clock that night, from the direction of Dushan, there was a roar of motors, and after a while, several dazzling lights, poisonous snake eyes pierced the dark night sky, Shi Jinsheng couldn't help but nervously a violent heartbeat, his hand suddenly put on the phone crank, but Chu Tian pressed his hand, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, this is the armored vehicle of the Japanese army to open the road for reconnaissance, and a large number of convoys are still behind, waiting for these iron guys to pass." ”
