248 Battle of the Heart
Several fighters asked in unison, "What has become lower?" ”
Deng Hong said: "The water level, it's the water level, you see, after a night, they are a little lower than yesterday!" ”
One of the fighters said: "Platoon commander, if the water level is low, what does it have to do with us bombing the pontoon bridge of the Japanese?" ”
Deng Hong waved his hand and said, "Follow me." ”
The soldiers didn't know what to do, so they had to follow Deng Hong along the Yalu River, going upstream, Deng Hong walked faster and faster, and soon he had run in small steps, and gradually ran faster and faster, needless to say, the physical fitness of the marines was first-class and strong, Deng Hong had no equipment on his back, but on the other people's bodies, diving suits, oxygen cylinders, explosives, and weapons weighed dozens of pounds in total, where could he catch up with him, so Deng Hong quickly pulled the others away dozens of meters.
After running for about six kilometers, I saw that the river suddenly widened, "No wonder the water flow is so rapid, it turns out that the downstream and the upstream are much narrower, and the flow speed has of course become faster." Deng Hong thought to himself. Deng Hong ran and looked at the water, as if he was anxiously looking for something, for Deng Hong, these few minutes were as long as a lifetime, and finally, he saw the scene he had guessed.
I saw that on the surface of the river, there was an ice pile more than half a meter high, which stretched for more than ten meters along the direction of the water flow, and the upstream water was wrapped in ice and crashed into the ice pile, not only did not break it, but merged with it as a whole, thickening the ice pile, which was more than half a meter high, like a dam made of ice, and intercepted the flowing river water.
The rest of the team also rushed here, they looked at the ice dam, stunned, Deng Hong said: "I saw the water level drop, so I guessed if there was ice accumulation in the upstream, blocking the flowing water, it was really like this!" ”
A warrior said in a trembling voice, "This is too supernatural, why is the ice here blocking the water?" ”
Deng Hong said: "It may be that the waterways here are relatively narrow, so the ice is piled up here, and who can say clearly about the magic of nature?" Do you know the road, during the time to resist US aggression and aid Korea, our volunteers wanted to cross a river, it was winter, the water was biting cold, people couldn't go down at all, ask the locals, know that the river does not freeze in winter, the volunteers saw that they could not cross the river, so they decided to withdraw, but the night before the withdrawal, the river suddenly became frozen. After Deng Hong finished speaking, he put on a diving suit, and without saying much, he got into the water, and after a while, he got out of the water and said to a few soldiers: "I have reconnoitred, and we will go into the water in a while and listen to my arrangement to plant explosives." ”
The five soldiers put on diving suits and followed Deng Hong into the water, the flow speed of the water here is not fast, at least people can swim freely in it, after installing the explosives, they went ashore, Deng Hong didn't even have time to take off the diving goggles, and detonated the explosives.
The sight was enough for the warriors to remember for a lifetime, the dull explosion came from under the water, the river let out a long roar, it was like an unbearable prisoner in the siege of the dam, beating the shackles that had imprisoned him with his steely body, and finally, the ice dam let out a "snort" moan, and the snow-white cracks spread from the bottom of the ice dam as if it were a dying wound......
The ice dam finally dispersed, and the river water that was half a meter high was backlogged, pushing large and small ice cubes, rushing to the lower reaches of the river unscrupulously, and when passing through the narrow road, it accelerated, and the river water floating with ice cubes, like a flowing Grim Reaper, rushed towards the Japanese pontoon bridge.
At this time, the Japanese army had already set up the pontoon bridge, and the first group of people were crossing the bridge, and the Japanese soldiers on the bridge saw from a distance that the snow was rushing on the river upstream, and when they understood that it was too late, the fast-moving ice slammed into the pontoon bridge. The first ice cube to come was extremely sharp, cut open the air bag of the pontoon bridge, the river water poured into the air bag, the pontoon began to sink, but there was a rope to pull, it did not sink, the ice cube behind was bigger, under the impetus of the river, like a giant hammer, smashed heavily on the wooden board of the bridge, the ice was smashed apart, scattered into countless crystal clear ice crystals......
More and more ice fell on the pontoon, the pontoon bridge finally couldn't bear it, "click" broken, in the coercion of the river, tumbling and flowing downstream, in this chorus of nature, the Japanese soldiers on the bridge were like a lame singer who did not remember the lyrics and could not understand the score, swallowed up by the whole music, leaving no trace.
The Japanese troops on the river had to retreat to the camp first, and then cross the bridge after the pontoon bridge was erected, so that there would be fewer Japanese troops on the shore, and Deng Hong and they would be able to blow up the next pontoon bridge of the Japanese army with ease.
However, the Qing army captured Benxi Lake Mountain in one day, and he urgently needed reinforcements to support the villages and towns behind, but the commander of the Korean garrison told him that the engineering troops with the ability to erect pontoon bridges closest to the Yalu River would take at least fifteen days to reach Andong!
Dashanyan set his eyes on the Japanese troops retreating from the mouth of the Liaohe River, if this group of Japanese troops could be re-invested in Andong, there would be reinforcements, but the chief of staff Inoue Hikaru told him that the Yalu River was thawing at this time, the water flow in the estuary was very fast, and the water was not deep, the draft of the big boat was too deep, and he did not dare to go in, and the horsepower of the small boat was too small, and he could not reach the shore if he entered!
The pencil in Dashan Yan's hand fell on Anton, he was fighting the idea of Anton's defenders, and at this time Inoue Hikaru persuaded: "General, why don't we give up this Andong passage, let's withdraw to Andong and hold on there!" ”
Oyama Iwa's gaze softened, and Inoue Mitsuchi Mitsuchi Dao Oyama Iwa was already moved, and he continued, "Doesn't the general remember the story of Akechi Mitsuhide? If he attacks when he is humiliated, how can he take revenge in the future? Here, Hikaru Inoue quotes the story of the famous Honnoji Temple in Japanese history.
During the Warring States period of Japan, there was a famous prince - Oda Nobunaga, Akechi Mitsuhide was his retainer, and he assassinated Oda Nobunaga when he was in the middle of the day. There are different theories about the reasons why Akechi Mitsuhide started the incident, but in this era in Japan, the most widely spread is that Akechi Mitsuhide once met Oda Nobunaga.
Just when Dashanyan was almost determined to withdraw his troops, the herald came to report: "Commander of the Qing army, Lin Yuan wants to see you." ”
It turned out that as soon as the news of conquering Benxi Lake Mountain and blowing up the Yalu River Bridge came, Lin Yuan thought of the possibility of Dashanyan abandoning the Andong Highway and sticking to Anton, although he had previously judged that Dashanyan, who had a good face, would fight to the death with him, but he still decided to use some means to force Dashanyan to fight a decisive battle with himself.
In modern warfare, the character of middle and high-level commanders is kept secret, and even hobbies cannot be revealed, because it is very likely that a master of psychology will learn the character of the commander from it, and the character will determine the orders he gives in many cases.
Through that meeting, Lin Yuan probably figured out Dashanyan's character, pride, and arrogance, Lin Yuan thought of a plan, that is, to see Dashanyan again, and in this meeting, force Dashanyan to have a decisive battle with himself!
Soon, Lin Yuan was going to start a battle against Dashan Rock.
