Tang Qiuli flipped through the text, there was no important information, he came to the radio room again, this should be the place where the devils resisted the most fiercely, the wall was densely covered with bullet marks, and the iron door of the radio room was blown up by grenades.
There were seven or eight corpses of devils inside, and there was also a female officer among them, the house was in a mess, the radio station was destroyed by the devils before they died, and there was a pile of burned-out paper ashes on the ground, and as for the code book and the like, don't expect to find it.
However, Tang Qiuli was sure that before the devils were eliminated, they would definitely send a telegram asking for help, and the more than 200,000 devils who surrounded him should have received the news and should take action today.
The key is that this heavy army can't quench the thirst of the near water, so which devil army is the reinforcement that can arrive in the shortest time and at the fastest speed?
By the way, it should be the Devil Korean Garrison Army, which is the strength of four divisions, as long as you cross the Yalu River Bridge, you can reach Andong with one leg up.
According to the speed of the devils' assembly and march, it will not exceed noon today at the latest, and the devils' reinforcements will appear by the Yalu River, and Li Honggang's detachment is still fighting fiercely with the devils' garrison troops on the outskirts of the city.
His eyes were fixed on the Yalu River Bridge on the map, which was the only way to enter Andong by land, and the bridge was blown up, and the devils could only cross the Yalu River if they wanted reinforcements, which was beneficial to the defenders.
He immediately ordered the troops to look for high explosives in the devil's arsenal, the more the better, and at the same time, ordered a brigade of the special operations detachment to eliminate the port guard unit of the devil's navy and take control of the port.
He and Qiuquan got into a devil car, and the guards under him sat in several large trucks and rushed to the Yalu River Bridge.
The car drove out of the city, along the riverside embankment, and rushed to the target, and along the way, it easily solved a few scattered groups of devil troops, delayed some time, and when it arrived at the bridge, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.
Here he waited anxiously for the explosives to arrive.
The gunfire in the northern suburbs is still fierce, and the troops are fighting fiercely with the devils, and if the battle over there is not quickly resolved, the situation will be very dangerous once the reinforcements of the devil's Korean garrison come up.
He told Qiuquan that he immediately rushed back to the city and collected all kinds of devils' artillery in the devil's arsenal, a small part of the large-caliber artillery was sent to Liu Tiehan, and the rest were transported to the riverside.
Qiuquan immediately rushed back to the city, and seeing Qiuquan's disappearing back, he put his mind on the bridge across the Yalu River.
With his hands behind his back, he watched as the turquoise river flowed into the Yellow Sea, and the guards formed a tight protective circle around him.
The May river breeze blew his black hair, and the Yalu River Bridge, like a giant dragon, flew over the wide river, a road and railway bridge, and two shining steel rails stretched into the territory of North Korea on the lower floor.
It seems that the devil's transportation between the two countries is very busy, this is an all-steel bridge, sturdy, sturdy, he also knows that this bridge was blown up by the US Far East Air Force after the outbreak of the Korean War in 1950.
Now, the broken bridge, still standing silently on the Yalu River, carries history, silently tells the evidence of the invaders' crimes, and next to the broken bridge, a new bridge has been built to connect the land transportation between China and North Korea.
Fifteen years later, the Chinese People's Volunteers can still use this bridge to cross the Yalu River majestically and proudly, and the song of the Volunteer Army, which has been passed down through the ages and recorded in history, can it still be born?
Hundreds of thousands of outstanding sons and daughters of China can still pass guò on this bridge, with a strong struggle, like a tsunami, in a foreign land, the 16 ** team retreated hundreds of kilometers in a battle, and made a great name for New China in one fell swoop?
Soon, this world-famous bridge will disappear in his own hands, and he is a little frightened and a little uneasy about changing the direction of history in a last resort.
He is in a complicated mood here, Liu Tiehan in the northern suburbs, he is anxious, at this moment, on the battlefield, he has become a pot of porridge, and the battle is in a stalemate.
Liu Tiehan was a little puzzled, he had fought so many battles with the little devil, why did this little devil of Anton have such a tenacious will to fight.
When the troops were advancing down the breakthrough, they were met with desperate resistance from the devils, and often after the shells were blown up, there were still remnants of the devils who came out of the bunker and shot desperately.
The troops gnawed down one by one, the progress was slow, and the casualties were not large, but now it was a matter of time, although the urban area was occupied, but if this piece of devil was not eliminated, the troops could not pull away, and the defense of the riverside would be very difficult.
Now, all the troops are unable to draw out personnel, as a commander with great military quality, he also took into account the problem of devil reinforcements, but also took into account the reinforcements of the Korean garrison army, in addition, he knows better that this place is not suitable for a long time, one side is facing the water, two sides are surrounded by mountains, for the soldiers to die of a taboo.
The recalcitrant devils, with less than half of their troops left, actually launched a counter-charge.
He really took evil medicine, there were about 400 devils, hidden in the trenches, when the troops cleared a section of obstacles, and continued to attack and advance, this group of devils suddenly jumped out, holding a bright bayonet, screaming, and counterattacked.
This group of devils should be elite, with a white cloth tied on their heads, skilled and experienced in tactical movements, and the troops were caught off guard and quickly mixed up with the devils, and the artillery was dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to let go of the shells.
The troops were actually pressed down by the devils, but fortunately, there was a rain of bullets from the submachine gunners, and none of the more than 400 devils survived, but the troops also suffered dozens of casualties, all of which were caused by the devils' bayonets, and the tactics' stabbing skills were still inferior to the devils.
At present, the troops cannot be attacked, there are three particularly strong reinforced concrete structure of large pillboxes, and the firepower inside is still very dense, and the troops are blocked here and cannot develop.
Mortars were brought in, and hundreds of shells went down, but they did not collapse, and fortunately they did not choose this place as a breakthrough point, otherwise, at the beginning of the battle, they would have fallen into an unfavorable situation.
The soldiers wanted to use cluster grenades to blow up, and more than a dozen people went up in a row, all of whom died on the way forward, and the fierce fire of the devils formed a death zone around the bunker, and the remains of the martyrs were all around the bunker.
The commander had already inquired about the progress of the battle several times, and Liu Tiehan was so anxious that he was sweating down, and just when he was helpless, the soldiers transporting large-caliber artillery arrived.
Liu Tiehan was overjoyed, it was really timely rain, this must have been sent by the commander's order, more than a dozen large-caliber guns, raising the thick cannon body, and the black hole of the muzzle, gave people a visual shock.
There was a loud bang, a high-powered cannonball, which kept falling on the bunker, first a column of smoke, then dust flew up, the ground under his feet trembled, and at the explosion point, cement fragments, and steel rails continued to fly into the sky.
These three pillboxes, no matter how strong they were, could not withstand such a bombardment, and they were soon blown into ruins, and the devil's will to resist was finally completely shattered, and the psychological bottom line collapsed with a bang, and they crawled out of the hidden fortifications one after another, and broke through with their lives.
The troops attacked on all fronts, and there were constantly devils who were hit by the soldiers who chased after them, and there were many corpses of devils on the short pursuit road.
Suddenly, a group of cavalrymen, holding high the snow swords, blocked the way of the devil head-on, this group of remnants of the defeated generals, already like lost dogs, panicked, in the face of the head, immediately fell into a desperate chaos.
The pursuers behind also caught up, two pinching attacks, this group of remnants of the devils, unable to advance, and then chasing soldiers, in despair, but inspired ferocity, divided into two groups, one rushed towards the troops behind, this is really a dog jumping over the wall.
The other group, rushing into the direction of the cavalry detachment, the devils held bayonets, stared at blood-red eyes, walked on the legs of the circle, howled and counterattacked, to fight hard with the soldiers, while rushing, and shouted in a voice that was not human: "Long live the emperor's majesty"
Liu Tiehan had no spare time to fight with the devils, and the submachine gunners went up to shoot a volley, the crisp gunshots rang out, and the bullet shells beat happily in front of the soldiers, knocking down the counterattacking devils like cutting sorghum in rows.
The devils who rushed to the cavalry detachment were even more miserable, on the plain with infantry against cavalry, that was looking for death, the devil's charging formation, was quickly submerged, a series of screams continued to sound, when the cavalry swept across the battlefield, the ground was full of the mutilated corpses of the devils.
The battle in the western suburbs was finally over, and the two thousand, eight or eight hundred devils, were all wiped out, although the battle was relatively hard, the results that could be achieved were also great, and Liu Tiehan was finally able to free his hands.
The troops did not stop, quickly passed through the city, and marched quickly to the Yalu River, on the way, Liu Tiehan reported the news of the end of the battle to Tang Qiuli.
Tang Qiuli finally let go of his heart, just now he secretly prayed, at this time, the devil's reinforcements must not come up, the bridge has not yet been planted with explosives, Liu Tiehan and the devil are fighting, the cavalry detachment is ready to ambush the devil, and the special operations detachment maintains order in the city.
There are more than 300 people around him, and he will definitely not be able to resist the devil's reinforcements.
Qiuquan also rushed over with explosives, and there were really a lot of them, there were two trucks, and many of the soldiers of the special operations detachment were proficient in blasting technology, so they drove the trucks directly onto the bridge deck, and the explosives were placed on the various bridge piers.
After installing the fuse, Qiuquan was still not at ease, so he put cluster grenades in the explosives piles at various blasting points, tied the strings with ropes, and pulled them to the shore to make a double safe.
Liu Tiehan and Li Honggang also arrived with their troops, seeing that the soldiers were covered in gunpowder smoke and with tired faces, Tang Qiuli hardened his mind and ordered the troops to immediately build shore fortifications, the devils could not cross the bridge, and there was a way to cross the river.
Leaving the defense here under the command of Liu Tiehan, he and Qiuquan returned to the city in a car, where there is still a big mess to deal with, mainly the confiscation of Japanese property, and the deeper idea is that he doesn't want to see this bridge with too much historical significance disappear in front of his eyes.
In this way, with mixed feelings, Tang Qiuli began to scrape the ground to collect money, and he was in a relaxed mood to do this work.
