Finally, gunfire and explosions were heard from the direction of Shentou Ridge, and the ambush battle of the main force had begun. At this time, Sanbao, who was on guard at the head of the Baishui River bridge, was also paying close attention to the situation on the other side of the river. According to Chen Zhenhai's
It was time to blow up the bridge, but Sanbao still hesitated.
Chen Zhenhai, who was behind, saw that there was no movement here, and immediately rushed to Sanbao and urged: "Sambo, why don't you blow up the bridge yet!?"
"Company Commander." Sanbao looked very calm, and he explained: "We haven't seen the figure of the Japanese here, maybe he won't come, so wouldn't our bridge be blown up in vain?
What a waste of explosives." Sanbao then said deliberately: "Besides, if the devils knew in advance that the bridge was blown up, what would they do if they brought the tools to cross the river elsewhere?"
Chen Zhenhai was stunned and couldn't help asking: "I haven't thought about this yet. I just want to complete the blocking mission. So what do you mean..."
"It won't be too late for us to blow up the bridge when we are sure that the Japanese are coming." Sanbao immediately suggested. In fact, he was still hiding some of his plans.
"Are you sure nothing will happen by then!?" Chen Zhenhai was also excited and asked immediately.
"Ha, I have been playing with explosives since I was a child, so don't worry." Sanbao responded immediately.
"Okay." Chen Zhenhai finally agreed.
Finally, the observation post in front quickly rushed back to report, "Company Commander, the Japanese are out and coming this way. They are still about a mile away from us."
"How many Japs are there?" Sanbao on the side immediately interjected and asked.
"There are fifty or sixty Japs, they should be a small group of Japs." The scout immediately replied.
"Sambo, blow up the bridge." Chen Zhenhai immediately ordered.
"Why are you so anxious?" Sanbao said, "There are just fifty or sixty Japanese." Sanbao pulled the rope but had no intention of doing anything.
"I can see it," Chen Zhenhai became a little disillusioned when Sanbao didn't take action. He said, "Sambo, you have already planned this!"
"Hehe." Sanbao chuckled and said, "What about company commander, let's fight him?"
"Now is different from last year." Chen Zhenhai said with some excitement but also some worry: "If it were last year, the battalion commander would lead our company to keep the dumplings that dare to make these devils, but you can also see that our army has a lot of new recruits.
, not only have many of them never participated in the battle, but our weapons and ammunition are also insufficient..."
"Of course I know that." Sanbao immediately replied: "But if there are twenty or so Japs, it would be really uneconomical if we didn't fight them."
"Twenty or so Japs?" Chen Zhenhai was stunned and then understood. However, he did not dare to change the deployment without authorization for a while. What he wanted to ensure now was not to let a single Japs pass here. This was a fatal order for the Shentou Ridge ambush battle.
"Company Commander, look at why we can't take action easily now. Isn't it because we are short of men?" Sanbao encouraged: "If we let twenty or so Japs come here, then there will be at least two machine guns and a dozen rifles here.
, Needless to say about ammunition, from now on we will have the capital to fight the Japanese."
"Okay!" Chen Zhenhai finally nodded, and he immediately made combat arrangements.
