Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 129 Bridge Oh Bridge

Tang Qiuli flipped through the documents. There was no important information. He came to the radio room again. This was probably the place where the Japanese resistance was fiercest. The walls were covered with bullet marks. The iron door of the radio room was riddled with holes by grenades.

.

There were seven or eight Japs corpses inside, including a female officer. The room was in a mess. The radio station was destroyed by the Japs before they died. There was a pile of burned paper ashes on the ground. As for things like code books, don't expect them.

Found it.

However, Tang Qiuli was convinced that the Japs must have sent out a telegram asking for help before they were eliminated. The two hundred thousand Japs surrounding him should have received the message and they should take action today.

The key point is that this heavy army cannot quench the thirst of the people nearby. So, which Japanese army is the reinforcement that can arrive at the fastest speed in the shortest time?

By the way, it should be the Japanese garrison in Korea. It has four divisions of troops. As long as you cross the Yalu River Bridge and lift your legs, you can reach Andong.

According to the speed of the Japs' assembly and march, the Japs' reinforcements will appear on the Yalu River no later than noon today. Li Honggang's detachment is still fighting fiercely with the Japs' garrison on the outskirts of the city. He can't resist it with his small number of troops.

His eyes were fixed on the Yalu River Bridge on the map, which was the only way to enter Anton by land. If the bridge was blown up, the Japanese would have to cross the Yalu River if they wanted to reinforce, which would be beneficial to the defenders.

He immediately ordered his troops to search for potent drugs in the Japanese arsenal. The more quantity, the better. At the same time, he ordered a brigade of the special operations detachment to eliminate the Japanese navy's port guard force and control the port.

He and Qiuquan got into a Japanese car, and the Guards directly under the Central Government got into several large trucks and rushed to the Yalu River Bridge.

The car drove out of the city and drove along the embankment along the river towards its target. Along the way, it easily dealt with a few scattered Japanese troops and wasted some time. When we arrived at the bridge, it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

Here he was anxiously waiting for the gun to be delivered.

The gunfire in the northern suburbs is still very fierce, and the troops are fighting fiercely with the Japanese. If the battle there is not resolved quickly, the situation will be very dangerous once the Japanese troops stationed in North Korea arrive with reinforcements.

He told Qiuquan to rush back to the city immediately and collect all kinds of Japanese artillery in the Japanese arsenal. A small number of large-caliber artillery pieces were sent to Liu Tiehan, and the rest were transported to the riverside.

Qiuquan immediately rushed back to the city and watched Qiuquan disappear. He focused on the bridge across the Yalu River.

He put his hands behind his back and looked at the curve of the green river flowing into the Yellow Sea. The guards formed a tight protective circle around him.

The river wind in May blew his black hair. The Yalu River Bridge was like a giant dragon flying across the wide river. It was a road and railway bridge with two shining steel rails. The one below

The layers extend into North Korea.

It seems that the Japanese transport between the two countries is very busy. This is a bridge with an all-steel structure. It is solid and strong. 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 stands silently on the Yalu River, carrying history and silently telling the evidence of the invaders. Next to the broken bridge, a new bridge has been built to connect the land transportation between China and North Korea.

Now, he wants to blow up the bridge. Is it an inevitable history? Fifteen years later, the Chinese People's Volunteers will still be able to use this bridge to cross the Yalu River bravely and proudly. The famous song will be passed down through the ages.

, can the Volunteer Army’s military song, which will forever be remembered in history, still be born?

Hundreds of thousands of outstanding Chinese sons and daughters can still pass on this bridge. With their strong struggle, like a roaring mountain and a tsunami, they drove the 16th Army back hundreds of kilometers in a single battle on a foreign land.

Will it create New China’s prestigious reputation in one fell swoop?

Soon, this world-famous bridge will disappear in his own hands. He is a little scared and a little uneasy about changing the direction of history under unavoidable circumstances.

He was in a mixed mood here, while Liu Tiehan in the northern suburbs was in an anxious mood. At this moment, the battlefield was in a state of stalemate.

Liu Tiehan was a little confused and couldn't understand why Anton's little devil had such a strong will to fight after fighting so many times with the little devil.

As the troops moved downward through the breach, they encountered desperate resistance from the Japanese. Often after the shells exploded, the remaining Japanese would emerge from the bunker and shoot with all their might.

The troops gnawed it down piece by piece. The progress was slow and the casualties were not big. But now it was a matter of time. Although they had occupied the urban area, if these Japs were not eliminated and the troops could not move away, then the defense on the riverside would be very difficult.

.

Now, none of the troops can spare personnel. As a commander with great military literacy, he also considered the issue of Japanese reinforcements and the North Korean garrison reinforcements. In addition, he knew better that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.

Facing water and surrounded by mountains on both sides, it is a taboo place for military strategists.

The stubborn Japs actually launched a counterattack with less than half of their troops remaining.

I really took some evil medicine. There were about 400 Japs hiding in the trenches. When the troops cleared an obstacle and continued to attack, this group of Japs suddenly jumped out, with their bright bayonets sticking out, howling and screaming.

, counterattack.

This group of Japanese soldiers should be elite, with a white cloth tied around their heads, and their tactical movements were skillful and experienced. The troops were caught off guard and quickly got involved with the Japanese soldiers. The artillerymen were dumbfounded and did not dare to fire the shells. With this shot, the enemy

All of our own people were killed.

The troops were actually suppressed by the Japs. Fortunately, the submachine gunners came up with a hail of bullets, and none of the more than 400 Japs survived. However, the troops also suffered dozens of casualties, all caused by the Japs' bayonets. The tactics' stabbing skills

, still not as good as the devil.

At present, the troops cannot attack. There are three large bunkers with extremely strong reinforced concrete structures. The firepower inside is extremely dense. The troops are blocked here and cannot develop.

Mortars were called in and hundreds of shells were fired, but it did not collapse. Fortunately, this was not chosen as a breakthrough point. Otherwise, the battle would have been in an unfavorable situation as soon as it started.

The soldiers tried to use cluster grenades to blow up the enemy, but more than a dozen of them died on the way forward. The enemy's fierce firepower formed a death zone around the bunker. The remains of the martyrs were scattered all around the bunker.

The commander had asked several times about the progress of the battle. Liu Tiehan was so anxious that he was sweating. Just when he was at his wits' end, the soldiers transporting the large-caliber artillery arrived.

Liu Tiehan was overjoyed. What a timely blessing. This must have been sent here by order of the commander. More than a dozen large-caliber artillery, with their thick barrels raised and black muzzles, gave people a visual shock.

There was a loud noise, and powerful artillery shells kept falling on the bunker. First there was a plume of smoke, and then dust flew up. The ground beneath my feet trembled. At the blast point, pieces of cement and steel rails kept flying into the sky.

These three bunkers, no matter how strong they were, could not withstand such bombardment, and were quickly blown into ruins. The Japanese's will to resist was finally completely shattered, and their psychological bottom line collapsed. They crawled out from the hidden fortifications and went out.

A life-threatening breakout.

The troops attacked on all fronts, and Japanese soldiers were constantly hit by soldiers chasing after them. During the short pursuit, there were many corpses of Japanese soldiers.

Suddenly, a group of cavalrymen, holding their sharp sabers high, blocked the path of the Japanese. This group of defeated soldiers, originally like bereft dogs, were frightened and uneasy. After being attacked, they immediately fell into desperate chaos.

The pursuers from behind also caught up with them. After two pincer attacks, the remaining Japanese soldiers were unable to move forward. They were pursued again. In desperation, they aroused their ferocity and split into two groups. One group pounced on the troops behind them.

Come here, this is really a dog jumping over the wall in a hurry.

Another group rushed in the direction of the cavalry detachment. The Japs held out their bayonets, stared with blood-red eyes, marched bow-legged, howled and charged back, trying to fight the soldiers desperately.

The voice shouted: "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

Liu Tiehan didn't have time to fight with the Japanese. The submachine gunners fired a volley when they came up. The clear gunfire sounded, and the bullet casings danced happily in front of the soldiers, knocking down the Japanese who were fighting back like sorghum.

The Japs who rushed towards the cavalry detachment were even worse. They fought infantry against cavalry on the plain. They were looking for death. The Japs' charging formation was quickly overwhelmed. A series of screams continued to sound. When the cavalry passed over the battlefield, the ground

The place was filled with the mutilated corpses of the Japanese.

The battle in the western suburbs was finally over. All 2,780 Japs were wiped out. Although the fighting was relatively difficult, the results achieved were great, and Liu Tiehan was finally able to free up his hands.

The troops did not stop, but quickly passed through the city and marched 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 worries. Just now, he secretly prayed that the Japanese reinforcements must not come up at this time! There were no bombs placed on the bridge yet. Liu Tiehan was fighting with the Japanese, and the cavalry detachment was preparing to ambush the Japanese.

, the special operations detachment maintains order in the urban area.

With more than 300 people around him, he would never be able to withstand the Japanese reinforcements.

Qiuquan also came over with guns. There were quite a lot of them, two trucks. Many of the soldiers from the special operations detachment were proficient in blasting technology. They drove the trucks directly onto the bridge and placed guns on various places.

On the bridge pier.

After installing the fuse, Qiuquan was still not at ease, so he placed cluster grenades in the explosive piles at each blasting point, tied the strings with ropes, and pulled them to the shore for a double insurance.

Liu Tiehan and Li Honggang also arrived with their troops. Seeing the soldiers covered in gunpowder smoke and with tired faces, Tang Qiuli hardened his heart and ordered the troops to build shore defenses immediately. The Japanese could not cross the bridge, so they could not cross the bridge.

There is a way to cross the river.

He left the defense here under the command of Liu Tiehan. He and Qiuquan drove back to the city. There was still a lot of things to deal with, mainly the confiscation of Japanese and puppet property. The deeper idea was that he didn't want to see this.

A bridge with too much historical significance turned into nothing before our eyes.

In this way, with complicated emotions, Tang Qiuli began to make money all over the place. He felt relaxed while doing this work.
