Chapter 477: The Great Army Crosses the River
When the main force of the Sino-North Korean coalition forces lying in ambush outside the mountain saw the torches suddenly waving halfway up the mountain, they already understood that this was a signal that the special combat team had already taken control of the checkpoint.
Seeing the signal, the east that led the army to ambush here was not confused, so he led the crowd to the checkpoint.
And how could Dongfang Bufu appear here, didn't he have a stalemate with the Japanese army at the east gate of Seoul?
It turned out that since the Chinese and North Korean sides agreed to attack Seoul from the waterway checkpoint, the main army led by Dongfang Bufu was secretly transferred back from the east gate, and only a small part of the Taiping army was left as suspicious soldiers, still confronting the Japanese army outside the east gate in order to confuse the Japanese army in the city.
After Dongfang did not confuse the withdrawal of the army, he followed Tian Xiaoer's order, led the main force of the army to act together with the special combat team, and then ambushed at the predetermined location, waiting for the special combat team to send a signal to occupy the checkpoint.
And Dongfang Bufu originally wanted to replace Tian Xiaoer and lead the special combat team to go, but Tian Xiaoer didn't allow it, so he had to go by himself, so Dongfang Bufu could only stay and lead the army to wait.
However, the special combat team is a special combat team after all, and the action can be described as fast, and it didn't take long to get rid of the Japanese army, occupy the checkpoint, break the iron net, and the army can finally move.
When Dongfang Bufu arrived at the location of the checkpoint, he found that it was really as the intelligence said, there were mountains in front of him, and the land route was impassable, so he could only take the waterway, but if he took the waterway and did not carry the tools to cross the river, what should he do?
How did they forget this crucial matter, and where did they go to raise so many tools to cross the river in such a short period of time?
The East is not confused for a while and does not know what to do.
"Old Dong, what should I do?" Chen Yucheng, the commander of the Eighth Army Corps, who was standing beside Dongfang Bufu, asked.
This Chen Yucheng and Dongfang are usually used to smiling, and when they see Dongfang is not confused, they will be called Lao Dong, and Dongfang will not be confused and will return to Lao Chen.
"Lao Chen, what do you say?" Dongfang asked rhetorically.
Dongfang was not puzzled by this question, but he asked Chen Yucheng, how did he know, but he still pretended to sigh and said: "If the engineer division is here, it will be good to build two floating feet, and you can pass in a moment."
Engineer division? Chen Yucheng's sentence was not tight, but it reminded Dongfang not to be confused, he thought, the pontoon bridge is indeed a good thing.
Thinking of this, Dongfang couldn't help laughing, and Chen Yucheng laughed inexplicably.
"Old man, what are you doing blindly, say it and let my brother and I be happy." Chen Yucheng quipped.
"There's a way, I've figured out a way to cross the river." Dongfang didn't laugh confused.
"Really, what's the solution, tell me and listen." When Chen Yucheng heard this, he was overjoyed, grabbed Dongfang Bufu's arm, and couldn't wait to say authentically.
Dongfang was not confused to look at Chen Yucheng's anxious look, laughed again, and after laughing, he gently pushed away Chen Yucheng's salty pig hands, and said, "Didn't you already say it just now."
"...... that?" Chen Yucheng was a little confused, he didn't say anything.
Chen Yucheng looked at Dongfang a little confused, and his expression was getting more and more confused.
"Think again." Dongfang didn't squint his eyes and teased him.
Think about it, well, you have to think about it, Chen Yucheng really lowered his head and thought for a while.
Suddenly. Chen Yucheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in the depths of his mind, and he couldn't help blurting out: "No, you don't really want to build a pontoon bridge, there is no engineer division here, don't mess around."
Chen Yucheng looked at Dongfang with a stunned face, for fear that he would really come nonsense.
"Yes, it's a pontoon bridge, but it's not the pontoon bridge you think, even if someone can build it now, we can't find the materials that can be used to build a pontoon bridge, the far water can't save the near fire, the pontoon bridge I'm talking about is another form of thing." Dongfang said with a smile.
"Stop, stop, stop" As soon as Dongfang Bufu finished speaking, Chen Yucheng shouted, and then, he stretched out his hand and touched Dongfang Bufu's forehead, and said, "Lao Dong, you don't have a fever, why don't you talk nonsense."
And in fact, Dongfang Bufu talked for a long time, and Chen Yucheng didn't understand what he wanted to express.
"you, you're just getting a fever." Dongfang was not confused and slapped Chen Yucheng and said.
"Alright, alright, joke aside, what the hell do you think." Chen Yucheng put away his smiling face and said with a straight face.
He really wanted to hear what Dongfang Bufu thought.
"It's a pontoon bridge, but it's not what we usually call a pontoon bridge." The East is not confused, but it is also a board and a glance authentic.
"How?" Chen Yucheng then asked.
"There are so many trees around here that the army can cut down the wood, and the wood doesn't need to be thick, but it needs to be as long as possible, and then we connect the logs with ropes, from east to west, and cross this pass to the other side." Dongfang Bufu slowly drew a diagonal line from where he was standing with his fingers, reaching directly behind the mountain peak.
Here he stood was the east bank of the mountain, and the last thing he pointed to was the west bank behind the mountain.
"Well, it's a way, but after we cross this pass, we must divide our troops from the east and west sides of the strait, according to what you said, we are all swimming to the east or west coast now, if we reach the destination, then divide the troops, isn't it another time to cross the Han River?" Chen Yucheng thought for a while and said.
It is undeniable that Chen Yucheng thinks a lot.
"Well, that's a problem, but it doesn't matter, according to our previous deployment, I will lead the 6th and 7th Army Corps and the Korean Guards Corps to attack the Japanese defenders in the east, and you will lead the 8th Army Corps to attack the enemy in the west of the Japanese army, then, when we swim across, we will act separately, we can separate the checkpoint between the two peaks and swim in both directions, I will lead the army to swim to the east bank, and you will lead the army to swim from the west bank, as long as we cut a little more wood and separate the direction of the crossing." Dongfang was not confused and thought about it again and thought of a solution.
"It's a good idea, without further ado, let's do it quickly, I can't wait." As long as Chen Yucheng thinks of fighting, he is full of energy.
Dongfang Bufu nodded, and then gave the order.
The army then began to move.
There are many people to do things, and the wood is ready soon.
According to the plan, Dongfang Bufu selected some soldiers from his seventh army who were very water-based and put them in charge of stringing the wood together, and their luck today was not bad, the current here was not fast, and the wind and waves on the water were calm, which provided favorable conditions for the smooth stringing of wood together.
After about a pillar of incense, the wooden pontoon used for swimming was already floating on the water.
So, the army began to swim across.
The first to enter the water were the 7th Corps, which took the lead and tried the depth of the crossing, followed by the Korean Guards Corps, the 6th Corps, and the 8th Corps.
The Taiping Army special combat team that received the signal was on guard on the mountainside.
Although the so-called pontoon bridge built was not too stable, it was barely usable, and the army crossed the Han River one after another, crossed the checkpoint, and reached both sides of the Han River behind the peak.
This is already Seoul.
And along the banks of the Han River, they can directly copy the back road of the Japanese army.
After a short pause, the army began the next phase of its operation.
Li Shixian and his special combat team were left behind, still responsible for staying here, leaving an extra way for the army, while Tian Xiaoer and Dongfang Bufu led the 6th and 7th Army Corps and the Korean Guards Corps to converge and prepare to attack the Japanese army at the east gate, while the 8th Army Corps advanced towards the Japanese garrison to the west under the leadership of Chen Yucheng.
A qiē looks so smooth. (To be continued......)
