Chapter 64 Critical Moments
Although the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army rushed to the bridge at the same time this time, the Japanese army had a large number of machine guns. Under the fierce rain of bullets, groups of officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army fell down.
The people behind him became afraid and began to retreat again.
The Chief of Staff was already anxious and ordered the supervisory team to open fire, killing dozens of retreating Jinsui army officers and soldiers on the spot.
Seeing that there was no way out, the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army might have a glimmer of hope when they rushed forward, they gritted their teeth and rushed to the bridge again.
At this moment, Xu Dalong and others launched an attack from the other side of the bridge. The Japanese army was attacked from both sides and could not hold on.
When the officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army saw this situation, their morale was greatly boosted. They rushed forward in a swarm and wiped out all the remaining Japanese soldiers.
Fujiwara Fitness was shot several times, and before her death, she killed a Jinsui soldier with her own hands. The angry Jinsui army officers and soldiers were bayonets at him, stabbing him like a hornet's nest.
Staff General Li had already seen the Japanese army installed explosives, so he hurriedly ran towards the center of the bridge.
He ran to the top of the central pier and looked down, and his face was ashamed.
He saw that the fuse had been thrown down from the bridge deck and was emitting white smoke. It was too late to send someone down the bridge to pull the fuse.
At this time, the Chief of Staff also rushed over, and Staff Li shouted loudly: "Shenzhen, the bridge is about to explode, go quickly."
The Chief of Staff hurriedly leaned over and looked down at the bridge.
Seeing the fuse with white smoke, cold sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead. At this time, more and more people were on the bridge, and it was too late for them to escape.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Do away."
With the shouts, Xu Dalong and Monk Wei separated from the crowd and ran towards the center of the bridge.
Although the people on the bridge were dense, Xu Dalong and Monk Wei were extremely strong. Under their violent impact, people were pushed away one after another.
The two of them soon arrived above the central pier.
Xu Dalong poked his head out of the bridge railing and saw the smoked fuse. He raised his gun without hesitation, aiming at the fuse with one shot.
The shot hit the fuse, and the interrupted fuse emitted white smoke and fell into the river.
Seeing this situation, people on the bridge burst into shocking cheers.
In the battle just now, the Chief of Staff had already seen that the Eighth Route Army led by Xu Dalong, who attacked the Japanese army from behind, helped the Jinsui Army to seize the bridge at a critical moment. At this moment, Xu Dalong saved the bridge at a critical moment, which was equivalent to saving the lives of tens of thousands of people including the chief officials and government agencies of the Second World War Zone.
The chief of staff said gratefully: "This Eighth Route Brother is really good at shooting skills. May I ask if I have a surname?"
Xu Dalong saluted and said, "Report to the commander, Xu Dalong, the commander of the Special Service Company of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment."
The Chief of Staff said: "It's really good. I will recommend that the Chief of the World War II Department give you a reward."
Xu Dalong said: "Sir, it's not the time to talk about this matter yet. Hurry up and organize people to cross the river."
The Chief of Staff nodded and said to Staff Li: "You immediately lead the guard regiment to build a position to cover the chief's department and the logistics of the agency across the river."
After Staff Li left, Xu Dalong thought for a while and said, "I have another suggestion. The logistics of the chief department and so many families have difficulty moving. If he is pursued by the Japanese army, the consequences will be unimaginable.
I suggest that after the troops who are serving as cover cross the river, blow up the Fenhe Bridge.”
The Chief of Staff was a little hesitant. It was very difficult to build the bridge, and it was very controversial at that time. In order to build the bridge, it can be said that a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources were spent. Even Mrs. Wang from Shanxi participated in the auction and raised funds. Finally, a designer was invited from the Netherlands to build the bridge. It was blown up like this. It was really heartbreaking.
The Chief of Staff hesitated for a while, looked at the crowd of fleeing on the bridge, and listened to the sound of cannons coming from afar, and finally made up his mind and said, "Okay, that's the decision."
Xu Dalong said: "Sheng, you can trust me, and I will complete the task of bombing the bridge."
Xu Dalong's outstanding performance has long won the trust of the Chief of Staff. He said, "Okay, this task will be handed over to you." After that, he went to the bridgehead and personally directed people to cross the bridge quickly.
After the Chief of Staff left, Monk Wei squeezed over and said with a depressed look on his face: "Master Long, I found the Japanese radio station, but unfortunately it has been blown up by the shell."
It turned out that Xu Dalong believed that this small Japanese army was carrying a radio station. He had been thinking about it for a long time and wanted to seize it, so he assigned this task to Monk Wei.
After destroying the Japanese army, Monk Wei went to find this radio station for the first time. Unexpectedly, this result was like this. It was a pity.
Xu Dalong comforted Monk Wei and said, "Forget it. There will be opportunities in the future."
Xu Dalong called a soldier, tied a rope around his waist, and then sent him to the bridge pier.
Now there is only a short section of the fuse left on the explosive pack, and Xu Dalong and others have no spare fuse, but this cannot defeat Xu Dalong.
The soldier who went down, according to Xu Dalong's request, fixed six grenades on the explosive bag with a rope, pulled out the safety pins on the grenade. Then the soldier shook the rope and asked the other soldiers to pull him up.
Xu Dalong and others followed the crowd to the bridge head. He stood on the bridge head and observed the bridge piers. He could clearly see the grenades tied to the explosive bag. He planned to use bullets to detonate the grenades, and then cause the explosive bag to explode and blow up the bridge.
Japanese melon grenades use chemical fuses. After unplugging the insurance pin, it is necessary to impact it to shatter the glass tube inside, causing the strong acid corrosion detonator inside to cause explosion. This is what is often seen in film and television dramas. When using melon grenades, you must tap the grenade on a hard object and then throw it out.
Xu Dalong was bent over and looked at the grenade, trying to find a good shooting position when he heard someone shouting: "Brother Dalong."
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Dalong turned around and saw Chu Yuner running over with a look of surprise.
Xu Dalong was also very happy and said, "Miss Chu, you reported the letter to the Chief Office in time, but you have made great contributions."
Hearing this, Chu Yuner remembered her own experience and felt a sense of grievance. She said angrily: "What are you still saying? In Gushan Town, something happened almost to someone. It's all your fault. You promised my brother to send me back to Qiulin Town, and he didn't keep his word."
In fact, Chu Yuner knew what Xu Dalong was doing, but she felt wronged and wanted to act coquettishly.
Xu Dalong knew the girl's thoughts, and he asked, "Who has offended you in Gushan Town? I won't deal with him."
