801 thermobaric bombs

It was about to break the enemy's defenses, but the enemy's bridgehead turret on the east bank spewed out tongues of fire again, forming a blockade fire on the bridge. The assault team, which almost rushed to the bridgehead, was intercepted by fire, and for a time suffered heavy casualties.

Like all strategic bridges built by the Japanese, the Kwai Bridge was flanked by a large turret, a target that Ma Qiang* could not deal with. The reason why I didn't use * to destroy it was because I expected that the enemy would withdraw its troops before blowing up the bridge, so I saved one * and used it to attack enemy cluster targets. Unexpectedly, the enemy was able to reoccupy the place, and it was clear that there was a tunnel under the bunker, which even Colonel Edward did not know. In the structural diagram he painted, there are no tunnels under the bunker.

The two platoons of the attack were soon reimbursed at the bridgehead, and Xu Chong's continuous sniping killed several machine gunners behind the firing hole and destroyed two machine guns, but the follow-up enemy kept coming out and desperately blocked the bridgehead with firepower, apparently they were passing through the tunnel, constantly transporting troops to the turret.

Originally, Xu Chong's forces were less than those of his opponents, and to capture the bridge, he had to rely on the enemy's dizziness and quick attack, but these machine guns could lead to the window of capture of the bridge being consumed in vain. Although he could suppress the enemy's fire with *, he was still unable to destroy the pillbox in one fell swoop, and the enemy's reinforcements were coming, while his attacking troops, only 40 meters away from the pillbox, used the few damaged vehicles left by the enemy when they retreated as cover for a limited counterattack. The troops fired a succession of Leme-made bazookas, but they were not very powerful, three of the four fired did not penetrate the heavy outer wall, and one of them narrowly hit the shooting hole, but only killed and wounded the personnel on the first floor of the three-story pillbox, and then the enemy occupied the first floor.

Xu Chong asked Ma Qiang to immediately come over with a 120mm bazooka using thermobaric ammunition, now all he can think of is to destroy the bunker with this thing, since the 419 has run out of laser guidance*, it lacks the ability to attack this kind of target, so this time, it can only be used with great difficulty*.

Ma Qiang put on the uniform of the 5th Army, carried a 120-kilogram rocket launcher weighing 10 kilograms, and two six-kilogram ammunition, and strode towards the bridgehead.

His firing position, 400 meters away from the bridgehead, was separated from Xu Chong's team, of course, in order to prevent the soldiers of this era from seeing modern weapons, including anti-materiel guns and programmed ammunition. He had to get to the bridgehead as fast as he could. The drone saw that the rearguard unit evacuated by the 4th Division stopped 3 kilometers away after firing and seemed to be planning to return to the rescue.

Xu Chong's troops always knew that there was friendly fire support on the right flank, because Xu Chong had warned the troops not to care about that direction to avoid possible accidental injuries.

Ma Qiang struggled to run towards the goal, and if he didn't bear weights, he could cover this distance in a minute, but with so much on his back, it would obviously be much slower, but he hoped to control the time in 90 seconds. At this moment, there are dead people on the bridge, and he must get there as fast as possible to send the enemy in the pillbox into the sky.

On Xu Chong's support position, a machine gun crew saw a big man running from the front, carrying something they had never seen on his shoulder, what seemed to be a large pipe. This thing is not like a weapon, and it is obviously not heavy, because the big man is running like the wind. The machine gunner guessed, maybe wooden? But what are you doing with a piece of wood?

Xu Chong used the radio to warn him not to interfere with the passage of friendly troops in front of the position.

Captain Xu's strange order to this group of veterans has also seen a lot, sometimes a person with this big bag, leaving at night, and coming back during the day, can know the enemy's deployment; Sometimes he goes out alone with the radio, and then the enemy fortifications are destroyed by mysterious allies. All this, they no longer care. The same is true today, no one originally believed that the bridge could be captured, but the defenders on the opposite bank suddenly exploded in succession, blowing themselves up to pieces, according to Xu Chong, there were their own spies who infiltrated the enemy's ammunition depot. In short, to fight with him, you don't need to worry too much about these strange things, you just need to know that he can lead himself to victory.

Seeing this shout rushing from the front of the position and rushing onto the bridge, some people recognized it as a person from the communications battalion of the military headquarters, and he was also a master who often led troops to set off alone, and was often with Captain Xu, the entire 5th Army, there were not many such big men, so it was easy to remember.

Ma Qiang did not give himself time to observe the enemy, he rushed directly to the bridge. On the roof of the turret, a few more Japanese soldiers were added, they hid behind the battlements, counterattacked with grenadiers, and the enemy was gradually stabilizing the defense, and if this continued, it was difficult to say whether they would take back a city.

Ma Qiang stood at the head of the bridge, hiding behind a steel beam, he had to rush too close, this distance was enough, he didn't need to aim at the firing port, he only needed to hit the front of the pillbox. This 120 ammunition was designed to destroy strong fortifications.

Most of the commando soldiers who kept rushing forward next to him bowed their heads and didn't have time to look at him, but there were still a few curious ones who couldn't help but look at Ma Qiang. Watching him put a big pipe on his shoulder, this thing is much thicker than the American Bazooka, what the hell is it?

The horse is aimed at the target by optical aiming, and in fact there is a triangular bracket and an auxiliary aiming device on the car, but it is too bulky to bring. He aimed at the firing holes that constantly spewed tongues of fire, slightly raised, without the need to measure the distance, the geometry of the bridge was in his mind, and he knew the approximate distance from the pillbox where he was standing.

With a bang, * flew towards the target like a meteor, it flew past the suppressed daredevils who couldn't raise their heads, and the Japanese soldiers in the shooting hole watched a fireball come straight towards them.

The fireball hit the front of the bunker, and a huge fireball enveloped the three-story turret, and immediately, orange flames erupted from every firing hole in the bunker, and several Japanese soldiers hiding on the top were also lifted by the air wave and thrown into the river.

Everybody's thinking, what the is this advanced weapon? If you have this thing, why don't you take it out earlier?

Ma Qiang moved to the edge of the bridge, quickly threw the canister into the river below, and then threw another round of ammunition down as well, taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, he hid in the darkness and exited the bridge.

Xu Chong saw the enemy's turret being eliminated in the back, and his soldiers seemed to be suppressed, forgetting to attack, and hiding behind the cover in the middle of the bridge wherever they went.

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't rush over yet? He ordered the acting platoon commander in front via the radio.

"Yes."

The assault team woke up from a dream and quickly rushed through the still burning pillboxes at the bridgehead. Some of them, 30 seconds ago, saw an inexplicable fireball fly overhead, and then the bunker was destroyed in its entirety? It's really incredible. If there are no anti-aircraft guns, such pillboxes can usually only be dealt with by infantry charges, and then with clusters* or blasters.

The troops quickly rushed across the bridge, and some sappers from Lan Xiang's troops, at the same time, climbed down the bridge and began to dismantle *. The Japanese installed * on the bridge that could blow up the bridge several times, but it was impossible to dismantle it all for a while. The battle on the blocking positions at the front has begun.

Xu Chong led his headquarters through the bridge, and he set up a temporary headquarters on the top floor of the still smoking pillbox to direct the entire operation. The drone informed that the enemy 4th Division had a force that was returning by car and could join forces with the enemy garrison that had been expelled from its position and return to fight for the bridge. At this time, Chu Tingchang's troops were still 30 kilometers away, that is, any had not been completed, and the bridge had to be held until reinforcements arrived. He hoped that Team Leader Lin would delay himself for a few minutes to complete the defensive deployment.

Lin Xiuxuan had quickly moved to an area of one kilometer to the east, he had been guided by a drone, the enemy was returning along this road, and he had to think of some way to delay the enemy.

From a distance, the enemy trucks were driving towards here with their headlights, and it seemed that they had temporarily mobilized trucks loaded with the wounded to transfer troops, which was of course conducive to Lin Xiuxuan hiding in the shadows and developing his sniper skills.

Lying on a hillside, he took advantage of the light in the cab to observe the enemy's first truck approaching within 150 meters, and shot through the glass, killing the driver in the cab.

The first truck lost its driver, and rushed headlong into the side ditch, not achieving his goal of blocking the advancing team, he needed a truck in the middle of the road, but he was in the shadows, and there was still a chance.

The second truck was slowing down, and the driver was looking around with wide eyes. The second shot hit the frontal windshield, killing him.

At this time, the whole convoy stopped, and the Japanese soldiers behind began to jump out of the car. The trucks in the back of the queue immediately turned off their lights, which showed that the enemy was not a rabble and knew how to deal with black guns at night, but the lights of the first and second cars were still on.

Lin Xiuxuan shifted 50 meters, and when he heard the enemy's light machine guns firing aimlessly, it was obvious that they did not find themselves, he poked his head out again, and with the help of the light of the headlights, he observed an enemy officer pointing in front and giving orders, probably deploying a search. He, of course, could not be polite and killed the enemy commander with one shot. He didn't know the rank of the officer he killed, but even if he was only a lieutenant, it was enough for the enemy to be confused for a while, and now that his goal was achieved, at least 10 minutes for Xu Chong.

At the same time, Xu Chong's troops were in the enemy position, quickly expelling the enemy forces that were still resisting. The enemy did not know the strength of the opponent's forces, and after seeing such a powerful display of firepower, he judged that the enemy was attacking at least one division. So the defenders, who had lost more than half of their losses and had no superiors, finally began to retreat.

At this time, this ragtag army, which consisted of 1,300 people and various directly subordinate troops, had already suffered more than 900 casualties. The battle for the bridge planned by Lin Xiuxuan has roughly followed his script.

Now, it depends on whether Pavilion Chief Chu's army can arrive in time. Xu Chong quickly deployed a defense on the original enemy position. He is well aware of the direction of the enemy's counterattack, so there is no need for a 180-degree arc defense according to the defense mode of a general bridgehead.
