Chapter 49: Capture the Bridge
A pigeon reconnaissance plane of the Imperial Army flew in the air leisurely, and the commander of the Fifth Front of the Imperial Army, Grand Duke Philip, who had just thundered at dawn today, sent all the planes out to find the position of the coalition forces that had broken through, the reason why he was so anxious was because the ninth princess Ronnie disappeared in the breakthrough battle of the coalition forces last night, Princess Roni was deeply loved by the emperor and the idol of ordinary soldiers of the imperial army, her disappearance was unacceptable to everyone, it was good to die in battle, I was afraid that I would be captured by the coalition army, what kind of treatment would a beautiful princess of an enemy country receive, Grand Duke Philip felt terrible when I thought about it。
The pigeon reconnaissance plane flew over a dense forest, and after circling twice, the pilot did not find anything, and flapped his wings into the distance, not knowing that the target he was looking for was resting in this forest.
Princess Luoni, who had changed into a Soviet women's military uniform, looked up at the distant reconnaissance plane, sighed quietly in her heart, pushed the beanie felt hat on her head with her left hand, sorted out her mood and walked in front of Ouyang Yu with a dinner plate.
"Sir, it's time to eat. ”
By the way, Princess Roni has been "conscripted" by Ouyang Yu, and currently stays by Ouyang Yu's side as her orderly, Princess Roni has no objection, because she is very curious about Ouyang Yu, and wants to know what kind of person she is, where the weapons and equipment come from, and the best way to break into the enemy army.
In addition, the light was not good last night, and after dawn, Princess Roni was surprised to find that Ouyang Yu turned out to be black-haired and black-eyed, and her facial features were slightly different from the race of this world, like the pure-blooded royal family in the secret legend of the royal family, the Aotian Emperor confessed to future generations before his death, if he found an unfamiliar pure-blood royal family in the future, he must be killed immediately by any means, but if it is a woman, he will be married by the contemporary emperor or the crown prince as his wife, and he will be established as the queen, increasing the purity of the royal bloodline, which is also one of the reasons why Princess Roni stayed by Ouyang Yu's side, she must figure out that Ouyang Yu is the royal family of the Phoenix Empire and went to the peopleThe "prince" is still a "wild" pure-blooded royal family. (PS: It's good for those middle-aged system soldier readers to ignore it.) )
Ouyang Yu, who had been studying the map, said without raising his head: "Put it there first." ”
Brigadier General Louis fell ill because he couldn't get a good rest because he commanded the battle for days, and in order not to affect the next operation, he handed over the command to Ouyang Yu, who had to take responsibility for his more than 2,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 soldiers of the coalition army.
Now the distance between the coalition forces that broke through and the town of Kodor is not very far, only about seventy kilometers, if the imperial army discovers the location of the coalition army, it can be arrived in one day, so Ouyang Yu ordered the troops to go out day and night, as much as possible to reduce the time of discovery, fortunately, the greening of the other world is very good, dense forests can be seen everywhere, otherwise she really doesn't know how to hide this army of more than 10,000 people.
Hastily ate some food sent by Princess Luoni Ouyang Yu continued to study the map, although the coalition forces broke through, but the former Tianqian Garon River was in front, and the nearest bridge was thirty kilometers away, according to the scouts sent out, a battalion of imperial troops was stationed there, if the bridge could not be captured quickly, once the bridge was blown up by the defenders, more than 10,000 people would still become turtles in the urn, on the contrary, after successfully seizing the bridge and then blowing it up, it could block the pursuers for at least three days.
Ouyang Yu stared at the map and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to attack at night, and it was not an ordinary night attack.
After the sun set, the main force of the coalition army set off again, and advanced until only ten kilometers of the Garonne River before stopping, waiting for Ouyang Yu's assault team to seize the bridge.
This time to seize the bridge requires Ouyang Yu to personally go out, because her plan is to attack from the east and west at the same time, quickly control the bridge and then clear the defenders, from the intelligence fed back by the scouts, the imperial army guarding the bridge has obviously been warned, strengthened the guard of the bridge and installed a bomb at the bottom of the bridge, so that the bombs at the bottom of the bridge must be eliminated first, and if you want to attack from the west because there is not too much swimming equipment, the large army can not cross the river, and it is easy to attract the attention of the defenders, so it is necessary for Ouyang Yu to personally go out and swim across the Garonne River with only a small number of people, and recruit troops to attack when facing the west of the bridge。
At more than eight o'clock in the evening, Ouyang Yu took more than a dozen soldiers to the vicinity of the bridge, and from the binoculars, he saw that the lights near the bridge were bright, and many imperial soldiers were training on both sides of the bridge and on the bridge, and at least half of the defender soldiers did not rest.
Ouyang Yu nodded to a few soldiers beside her, those soldiers saluted her and then quietly went down to the Garonne River, swimming towards the piers of the bridge, their task was to remove the bombs on the bridge, cut the detonation line, and after the soldiers went into the water, Ouyang Yu herself also swam towards the opposite bank under the protection of several soldiers, if the bomb failed to be removed, she would immediately order a strong attack.
The water of the Garon River is not turbulent, the water depth is more than ten meters, it is not a problem for Ouyang Yu, who can swim, but the river water in November is cold and biting, Ouyang Yu feels that she is about to be frozen, and she finally got ashore She didn't have time to change her clothes, so she immediately took a few soldiers to the hiding place and began to recruit soldiers.
Several soldiers who went into the water to defuse the bomb cautiously approached the bridge pier, they climbed up the bridge pier several meters high with a human ladder and began to clear the bomb.
The soldiers of the Imperial Army guarding the bridge never imagined that someone would dismantle the bomb under their noses, and the searchlights placed were all aimed at the east to prevent the sneak attack of the coalition forces, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army at the bottom of the bridge in the pitch black would not look at it, which provided the best conditions for the soldiers of the Ouyang Yu Army who defused the bomb, and it took more than an hour to dismantle all the bombs installed at the bottom of the bridge without danger.
After receiving the signal that the demolition was completed, Ouyang Yu immediately summoned a company of Soviet soldiers, all of whom were equipped with Suomi submachine guns, and then under Ouyang Yu's order, the battle to seize the bridge officially began.
"Chirp...... Boom......!"
Six mortars were the first to attack, and the defenders' machine guns near the bridge, as well as the Magic Crystal artillery positions, were heavily shelled.
"Ula ......!"
Ouyang Yu's soldiers held high the red flag of the River Crab Mercenary Regiment and launched a charge, the submachine guns in their hands greatly suppressed the firepower of the defenders, and the soldiers of the Imperial Army were usually overwhelmed by the dense bullets after only one shot, and the rest were all hiding behind cover and did not dare to show their heads.
However, the soldiers of the Imperial Army could not escape the fate of annihilation even if they hid behind the bunker, and the two soldiers of the Ouyang Yu Army crawled forward under the cover of their comrades, approached a bunker of the Imperial Army, took out a grenade from behind their waists and threw it in, and then rolled away with their guns in both hands so as not to be affected by the explosion, and with two booms, all the four squads of the Imperial Army hiding behind the bunker were killed.
The battle on the west side of the bridge had just begun, and the battle on the east side had also begun, thirty field guns and mountain guns opened fire together, blowing up the defenders of the bridge in the east, and the tanks of Ouyang Yu's army immediately launched a charge accompanied by infantry, and the defenders of the east who were suddenly shelled and lacked anti-tank weapons were driven out of their positions with just one charge, and the tanks of Ouyang Yu's army immediately began to cross the bridge.
The commander of the Imperial Army battalion in charge of guarding the bridge held the detonator, looked at the T-35 tank that had already crossed the bridge halfway with a hideous face, and pressed the detonator heavily, "Go down to the river and feed the fish!"
Unfortunately, the explosion he was expecting did not happen, and the bridge was still standing safely on the river, and the T-35 tanks on the bridge had already crossed the bridge and began to clear the nearby Imperial infantry.
"Why is this happening?"
These words became the last words of the battalion commander, and as soon as his words fell, a shell fell beside him.
Ouyang Yu's attack was very smooth, the attacks at the east and west sides quickly merged, the defenders were quickly defeated, most of them were taken prisoner and the rest of the scattered did not know where they went, the main force of the coalition army immediately crossed the river, the river crossing was completed at one o'clock in the morning, the bridge was blown up into several pieces with a bang under Ouyang Yu's order, in order to increase the difficulty of repairing the imperial army, Ouyang Yu also ordered to blow up several bridge piers in the middle, and the imperial army wanted to repair the bridge and some repaired it.
"Keep going!"
In the dark night, the main force of the coalition army rushed along the road, and found a forest to hide again at dawn, according to the report of the scouts who stayed behind, the pursuing imperial army was blocked in the Garonne River, and was mobilizing materials to repair the bridge, but it was estimated that it would take longer than Ouyang Yu estimated, and it would take about five days to complete the repair.
After getting the news, Ouyang Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt lightheaded, unable to support it, and fainted.
