Lang Kun's killing shook the Allied army in the old city no less than a magnitude 12 earthquake.

When Lang Hongjian heard that his son was killed by the government army's secret service, he was immediately paralyzed on the ground in a rage and never stood up again.

And Lang Hongxian also had a feeling of doom after hearing the news of his nephew's death, because once the government army took action against them, the fall of the old city was just around the corner. He learned from Lang Kun's adjutant that the reason why Anggongga wanted to do something to Lang Kun was because Lang Kun had evidence of bribing him. Lang Hongxian thought that many dignitaries in the government army must have the same idea as Commander Ang, and they all wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the evidence of their bribery.

Lang Hongxian now knows that bribery is a terrible double-edged sword, and if he doesn't do it well, he will also get burned and hurt himself, and the bribe-taker is worried that his affairs will be exposed, and he will also attack the bribe-giver. Therefore, after Anggongga got rid of Lang Kun, the next step is likely to be to launch an attack on the old city, thinking of this, Lang Hongxian can't take care of anything, he must first solve the urgent need of the western front, and immediately deploy troops to strengthen the defense of the western front of the old city.

Half of the 3,000 men on the Shenmuling front line were drawn to reinforce the Western Front, and another regiment was drawn from the guards of the Old City to the Western Front.

Lang Hongxian's large-scale mobilization of troops was soon known by the government army, and Angonga did not know what was happening, and the movement of the Allied army in the old city immediately aroused his vigilance, and he fought countless battles with the Allied army.

From Angonga's heart, he really hopes that the Allied army will cause something to happen now, because the army headquarters ordered to launch an attack on the Allied forces in the old city, and cooperate with Kang Liansheng to recover the old city.

To tell the truth, An Ruizhi never expected that their action would have such a huge impact on Lang Hongxian's army, not only transferring the troops blocking Commander Kang to the Western Front, but also shaking the morale of the entire Old City troops.

The entire Allied army knew that the government army and Commander Kang's troops had formed a flanking attack on the old city, and Lang Kun's death sounded the alarm for everyone, and the generals under Lang Hongxian were in panic. Most of these subordinates originally followed Kang Liansheng and followed him to resist Commander Kang under the coercion of Lang Hongxian, so now they are considering their own retreat when they see that the general trend has gone, and they have no intention of fighting again.

After withdrawing from the Manta Pass, the Excalibur Commandos approached the Salween River, and their next move was to cut off the government army's rear route and blow up the bridge connecting the east and west banks of the Salween River. Putting the government forces to death, thus forcing them to attack Lang Hongxian's allies with all their might.

The Salween River flows for dozens of kilometers from the western part of the old city to the mountains, where the mountains are high and the valleys are deep, and the river is so fast that boats cannot cross the river, and only a Mingman bridge connects the two banks.

The Minman Bridge has always been controlled by the government, with government forces having a checkpoint at the eastern head of the bridge and a permanent presence of security forces there.

In the past, one kilometer away from the bridgehead was the defense area of the Allied forces in the old city, and the two armies basically confronted each other on the east side of the Mingman Bridge as the dividing line. This time the government army launched an attack on the old city, and Lang Kun led the allied troops to retreat 30 kilometers along the road and re-establish a defensive area in the Mangta Mountains.

In fact, if the Minman Bridge were blown up, the government forces east of the Salween River would be alone, and the east bank of the Salween River would be a lonely army, and they would have no way back if they were counterattacked by the Allied forces.

After the Excalibur commando team arrived at the riverside, they hid in the woods, according to the original plan of action on the Western Front, the bombing of the bridge was carried out by Li Tianxiao with the second action group, so Li Tianxiao asked An Ruizhi to rest in the forest, and he drove an off-road vehicle with Qu Yigong and A Yan to Mingman Bridge to reconnoiter the situation.

This time, An Ruizhi didn't argue with Li Tianxiao, but just smiled and said to him: "Pay attention to safety." ”

One of the biggest features of activities in the Golden Triangle is that weapons are not restricted, guns and drugs are regarded as beasts all over the world, and it is illegal to carry these two things, but weapons and drugs are the most common things here.

The three men were carrying assault rifles, driving on the road in an off-road vehicle without any cover, and when they met the soldiers checking on the road, they turned a blind eye to them, and they just had to pay the toll, I really didn't know what they were going to check.

Before approaching the Mingman Bridge, Li Tianxiao asked Qu Yigong to stop, and then got out of the car and came to the riverside, wanting to observe the structure of the bridge from the side.

The place where the bridge was erected is the narrowest part of the river, and at the same time the most dangerous place. The bridge is erected between two mountains, is a double-tower cable-stayed bridge, the bridge length is about 150 meters, and the bridge deck is about 40 or 50 meters away from the river surface.

At this time, Li Tianxiao suddenly found that it was not easy to blow up the bridge, because it was very difficult to install explosives, not to mention the guards.

Li Tianxiao returned to the car, Qu Yigong drove in the direction of the bridgehead, and a row of armored vehicles parked on the side of the road a few hundred meters away from the bridgehead, there were more than 20 vehicles, and it was obvious that the troops crossing the river had strengthened their vigilance against the bridge.

Further on are checkpoints and fortifications, with watchtowers and strong pillboxes built on both sides of the road in front of the bridgehead, which are guarded by soldiers. These facilities were already available, but now they have additional guards.

The soldiers in charge of inspection at the bridgehead stopped their off-road vehicles, and Ah Yan said with a smile: "We are going to Mandalay to buy gems, please make it convenient." As he spoke, he handed over a cigarette, and under the cigarette there were two stacked bills.

The leading soldier put his cigarette in his pocket and waved them over. After driving on the bridge, Qu Yigong deliberately slowed down the car so that he had more time to observe the situation on the bridge deck.

The bridge is not wide, only four lanes in both directions, and the deck is prefabricated concrete. Because the troops from the east gathered and the two armies faced each other, the passing vehicles all took a detour, and there were not many vehicles passing by the bridge, and after driving on the bridge, they only encountered a single row of pickup trucks pulling goods.

I don't know why I thought of blowing up the bridge Li Tianxiao suddenly felt a little unbearable, such a good bridge is very rare in the local area, and it must have cost a lot of money, he wondered how he became a mother-in-law.

The off-road vehicle came to the other end of the bridge, where several wheeled armored personnel carriers were also parked, and although there were no soldiers stopping the vehicles to check, there were several heavily armed sentries patrolling back and forth.

Seeing these guards, Ah Yan turned back to Li Tianxiao and said, "There were only a few guards here before, and there were no armored vehicles parked here in normal times. ”

Li Tianxiao nodded and said softly, "It must be because the war has increased vigilance." Then he said to Qu Yigong: "Monk, find a place to turn around from the front, let's go back." ”

Back in the woods where the commandos were hidden, everyone gathered around when they saw them coming back, Li Tianxiao told An Ruizhi what he saw, An Ruizhi didn't speak for a long time after listening to it, and lowered his head and pondered silently.

Through Li Tianxiao's description, the team members all heard that this was an extremely difficult task, the bridge was difficult to bomb, first of all, it was impossible to place explosives, there were no piers under the cable-stayed bridge, and the power of the explosion from above was small and ineffective.

Da Jiang was impatient, and when he saw that An Ruizhi was speechless, he whispered: "I think it's best to break the bridge from a distance with rockets." ”

After listening to Dajiang's words, An Ruizhi glanced at everyone, and then said: "Actually, there are many ways to destroy the bridge, our purpose is not to blow up the bridge, the key is to make Anggar think that Lang Hongxian's people did it." Speaking of this, An Ruizhi looked at me with his eyes, "Eunuch, tell me what you think." ”

Li Tianxiao did not shirk and said his thoughts, "On the way back, I have been thinking about this problem, if we want to achieve the goal we want, we must use the most primitive method." As we passed the bridge, we saw a pickup truck carrying goods passing over the bridge, and I thought that if the pickup truck was loaded with explosives and detonated in the middle of the bridge, the bridge could be blown up from the middle. This also means that it will not cause great damage to the entire bridge and will be able to be repaired quickly. ”

"I agree with the old eunuch, this method can easily make Anggongga think that it is a death squad sent by Lang Hongxian, because only Lang Hongxian's troops are active within a radius of 100 kilometers, and getting a car from the allied army is even more sure that the government army is undoubtedly ......."

Li Tianxiao continued An Ruizhi's words: "The biggest problem with this method is that it is too risky, the only way to escape after driving the car to the middle of the bridge is to jump from the bridge deck forty or fifty meters high into the river, and the river in this area is very turbulent and turbulent, whether you can get out of the river alive is also a question......

Speaking of which, Li Tianxiao didn't want to say any more, I believe that the team members knew very well in their hearts that performing such a task would definitely be a life of death.

The players were silent, and everyone was thinking about whether there was a better way. Suddenly, Wu Fenbin raised his head and looked at An Ruizhi and said, "I have a way to reduce the danger, set a timed detonation of the bomb in the car, and hide the rope and life jacket in the cab at the same time." We drove the car to the third of the bridge and jumped down, let the car drive forward on its own, then tied the rope to the bridge cable, put on a life jacket, and then slid down the rope to the bridge for a distance before jumping into the river, I thought that with the help of the life jacket we should be able to escape. ”

After listening to Wu Fenbin's words, An Ruizhi pondered for a moment and then said: "What the monkey said is a method, but it must be done in a very short time, don't forget that there are enemy guards at both ends of the bridge. ”

As soon as An Ruizhi's words fell, Wu Fenbin rushed to say: "Let me go, I am sure to complete the task, and climbing and swimming are my strengths, it should be said that I am the most suitable person." ”

"I'm in charge of blowing up the bridge, and I have to go." After listening to Wu Fenbin's words, Li Tianxiao hurriedly said that as the person in charge of such a dangerous task, he must not stand idly by.

"I'll go!" "Let me go!" ……

The team members scrambled to go.

An Ruizhi raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said in a calm tone: "Let the monkey and the monk complete this task, with the expertise of the two of them, they are the most suitable candidates." ”

Li Tianxiao was just about to speak, An Ruizhi seemed to know what he was going to say, and before he could say it, he preemptively said: "Okay, old eunuch, don't fight, you immediately take two people to Lang Hongxian's ally army to get a car, and get the explosives and timing detonation device in addition, and I will study the details with the two of them." ”

Listening to An Ruizhi's irrefutable tone, Li Tianxiao didn't want to say anything, turned to Ye Zhanpeng and Ah Yan and said, "Dapeng, Ah Yan, you two will go with me to get a car." ”

Qu Yigong and Wu Fenbin listened to An Ruizhi's words, and the two of them smiled at each other knowingly, and blinked again, and could see that the two guys were very proud.

"Alright, don't be too happy too soon, hurry up and come with me to study the whole operation in detail." An Ruizhi turned around and walked towards the off-road vehicle next to him as he spoke, and Wu Fenbin and Qu Yigong followed him to study the plan of action.
