After hearing Yang Zhen's order, Ye Chao nodded and said nothing. [He turned around to convey the order to others. Yang Zhen turned around and said to Zhang Zixiong who was carrying a walkie-talkie next to him: "Let Li Mingbo investigate as soon as possible.
We know clearly the deployment of the enemy troops on the line from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao. This is less than ten miles away from the line from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao. We don’t have much time left, so let them hurry up.”
Zhang Zixiong heard Yang Zhen's order and said quickly: "No. 1, Platoon Commander Li is now south of Sanxi. We have just figured out the situation there. It's just that there were enemies at the foot of the mountain just now. In order not to alarm the enemies at the foot of the mountain, you don't want to
Any noise is allowed, so I haven’t had time to report yet.”
"The enemies currently on the front line between Sanxi and Caijiaqiao are the first section of the Engineer Battalion of the 40th Division and a battalion of the 118th Regiment. The ones stationed on the front line at Caijiaqiao are the supply battalion of the 79th Division and one company each of mountain artillery and combat defense artillery. As for
The main force of the Forty Division is still in the southeast mountainous area of Jingxian County, carrying out successive clearing operations in accordance with the requirements of the 32nd Army Headquarters to search for every stone."
"That is to say, except for the 40th Division on the Sanxi frontline, which has a battalion of troops to guard the division headquarters, at the request of the 32nd Army Headquarters, the 40th Division no longer has any large organized troops around it. He
The main force, as long as it still has combat effectiveness, is currently in the southeastern mountainous area of Jingxian County."
"Deployed at the junction of the two divisions are a battalion of the 235th Regiment of the 79th Division and a company of the division's engineering battalion. To the north of Caijiaqiao, the 79th Division was stationed at Huojia Bridge in order to quickly pass through the Huishui River.
Three pontoon bridges were built along the line of the bridge. This division belongs to the engineering company, which is responsible for guarding those three pontoon bridges."
"On the road from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao, the 235th Regiment has set up mobile sentries and lit bonfires every 200 meters. However, it seems that the security is not very strict at present. It can only be described as careless.
.And the patrols on the highway are all infantry, and their strength is only about one platoon."
"In addition, there is a squad of guard posts next to each bonfire. Platoon Leader Li and the others have carefully checked and found that there are no hidden posts on both sides of the road. All the troops of the battalion of the 235th Regiment are concentrated on
On the road. However, according to the confession of a squad leader of the 79th Division they captured, the commander of the 79th Division Duan Linmao is not at the division headquarters at the moment. This commander Duan fell off his horse yesterday and was seriously injured. He has now returned to Jingxian County
County cultivation.”
"Peng Zhancun, the deputy commander of the 79th Division who is currently commanding on the front line, commanded the 236th Regiment to enter Jingde County this afternoon to raise supplies. Now there are only two people, Chief of Staff Hu Bihua and 235th Regiment Commander Wang Yongshu. As for the 237th Regiment,
regiment, you just saw them. As of now, they have not sent any new enemy information."
After all, Zhang Zixiong is young and has a very good memory. Regarding the enemy situation report sent by Li Mingbo earlier, he gave a detailed report to Yang Zhen almost word for word, without skipping a word. Zhang Zixiong
Xiong also knew that the situation was urgent, so he remembered every word very carefully.
After listening to Zhang Zixiong's report, Yang Zhen's brows furrowed and then relaxed. After comprehensively analyzing the situation, he believed that this was not a trap set by the enemy consciously. It should be that the enemy thought that he was still threatening.
In the mountainous area of northeastern Germany, we were preparing to march eastward to Zhejiang, but we never expected that we would go in the opposite direction. We relaxed our vigilance in this direction.
Those fires and patrols on the road should be for errands. Since the opponent is not too vigilant, Yang Zhen will never give up this rare opportunity. After rushing to Lee Myung-bak's location at the speed of a forced march
The location is on a hill beside the road from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao.
The ten-mile mountain road is not an intractable task for the New Fourth Army, which is used to hardship and lacks all modern means of transportation such as trains and cars, let alone airplanes. It marches on its own two feet.
None of the most basic questions exist.
After arriving at Li Mingbo's location and listening to Li Mingbo's latest report on changes in the enemy situation down the mountain, Yang Zhen raised his telescope and looked at the situation on the road and the pontoon bridge erected by the 79th Division on the Huishui River, and said to Li Mingbo
: "When you lead people down the mountain, you must find a way to capture the three pontoon bridges without alerting the enemies on the road."
"We are ready for battle here. As soon as we receive your signal, we will rush down the mountain. At the fastest speed, we can quickly pass through the highway and Huishui River before the enemy can react. The main force of the 79th Division is now
It's already behind us. As long as we can rush over, we can be said to be safe."
Regarding Yang Zhen's order, Li Mingbo smiled slightly and said: "No. 1, just watch it. During the autumn campaign last year, we had no problem touching the little devil's night screws. With these few trash fish, I really
I didn’t notice it. Don’t worry, I will resolve the battle within fifteen minutes.”
After that, he tightened his tactical vest and briefly checked the gun in his hand. He waved his hand and led his men, using the bushes on the mountain as cover, and quickly approached the side of the road. Behind him,
His subordinates spread out in a tactical formation and cautiously approached the road behind him.
If on the mountains east of Piling, Lee Myung-bak and his team members wearing camouflage uniforms made of tree branches only made the security company who cooperated with them open their eyes. Then all the people on the hillside now
In full view of the public, they understood what special operations were.
Lee Myung-bak led his team members, under the cover of the terrain, cautiously approached the highway and then used the gaps in the patrol team on the highway to quickly pass through the highway. Their speed was so fast and their actions were so concealed that they even connected two adjacent fire fighters.
None of the guard posts near the pile were noticed. Of course, the obvious absentmindedness of these guard posts also helped a lot.
Lee Myung-bak led his team members and quickly detoured back to the pontoon bridge. A tactical team monitored the enemies on the road, while the rest carefully used the cover of grass and reeds by the river to detour back to the garrison side of the pontoon bridge. They used underwater and
The ground circuitous on both sides, and the sentries on the pontoon were eliminated cleanly. The speed was so fast that even the engineer company stationed on the east side of the pontoon guarding the pontoon was not noticed.
Of course, Lee Myung-bak, who only had one shift at hand, did not greedily take down all three pontoon bridges. He did not have so many manpower, nor did he have so much energy to take down all three pontoon bridges intact. Even if he did,
However, he could not defend himself against the enemy troops on the road and east of the bridge.
And for the troops hiding on the hillside to the east of the bridge at this time, there is no need to take down all three pontoon bridges. One is enough. After taking down the pontoon bridge, for him, more thoughts are
It should be placed before the main force passes through to ensure that the pontoon bridge is not destroyed by the enemy's counterattack.
The three pontoon bridges built by the 79th Division are adjacent to each other. Although Lee Myung-bak did an extremely good job and did not alert the defenders on the two adjacent pontoon bridges when seizing the pontoon bridge, this situation could not last long.
.If the adjacent enemy forces have not discovered that the pontoon bridge has changed hands for a long time, even at night, then there will be no need to maintain the force of the 79th Division.
Therefore, after Lee Myung-bak captured the northernmost pontoon bridge, which was slightly far away from the other two pontoon bridges, he focused more on preventing the enemy from counterattacking to recapture the pontoon bridge, or destroying the pontoon bridge. However, for those who can
He was still confident of holding the pontoon bridge before Yang Zhen passed through.
Although he has an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, he is quite powerful in terms of firepower. One sniper rifle, five automatic rifles, one general-purpose machine gun and a grenade. This firepower distribution is enough on such a narrow front.
It took more than half an hour to block the opponent's counterattack with a company-sized force. But with his understanding of Yang Zhen and Yang Zhen's style, he could break through the highway in five minutes at most.
After taking the pontoon bridge, Lee Myung-bak commanded his men to use the walkie-talkie to send a success signal to Yang Zhen on the hillside at the warning position established as quickly as possible. After receiving the report that Lee Myung-bak had completed the mission, Yang Zhen saw
Looking at his watch, Lee Myung-bak took exactly fifteen minutes from going down the mountain, crossing the highway, to taking down a pontoon bridge intact.
For Yang Zhen, since the pontoon bridge has been taken down, there is no need to stay here anymore. Yang Zhen waved his hand, and the troops that had been reorganized behind him were carrying rifles with bayonets, and they had gathered the few machine gun bullets left in the hands of the troops.
The light machine gun is also flat-ended on the chest.
As for the small number of grenades, all the grenades concentrated in the first echelon have all unscrewed the safety covers, pulled out the safety ropes and hung them on their fingers. A tactical squad led by Lee Myung-bak can quickly pass through the highway without being discovered.
.But the troops behind them numbered in the thousands. No matter how careless the guard posts on the highway were, it was impossible for the actions of thousands of people not to be discovered.
Although the vegetation on the mountain is good, how can the actions of thousands of people not make a little noise? So after arriving at the small hill overlooking the entire road, Yang Zhen had no intention of touching it. Even with a small team
The troops didn't even think of moving over in batches.
Because no matter which one is discovered, the entire army is in danger of being divided. Once the war drags on, the enemy troops deployed in Sanxi and Caijiaqiao are bound to quickly reinforce. As the division headquarters and main supply station, although the troop strength is not high,
There are many, but the vigilance of Sanxi and Caijiaqiao is definitely not low.
Although there are no large groups of enemy troops in the two places, for Yang Zhen, who is currently seriously short of ammunition and insufficient troops, even if two battalions of enemy troops come, the pressure will be great. The number of enemy troops on the road is seventy
The Ninth Division, the authentic direct line of the Central Army. Although it is a little absent-minded at the moment, its combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated.
No matter what kind of enemy you face, you must pay attention to tactics and do not underestimate any of your opponents. This has always been Yang Zhen's view. What's more, it is an elite unit of the Central Army that has been fighting the Japanese army for many years?
For a unit that has been fighting the Japanese for so many years since the Battle of Songhu, its combat capabilities should still be taken seriously.
The most important thing is that doing so also delays time, which is not consistent with Yang Zhen's plan to pass the highway as quickly as possible and complete the crossing of the Huishui River. Since it is impossible to sneak across in batches, then all the limited troops in hand will be concentrated.
Ammunition, clenched into a fist and punched, became Yang Zhen's only choice at the moment.
