Bloody Battle of Longquanguda Bridge
Chapter 64:Bloody Battle of Longquanguda Bridge
Since 1939, the Japanese army has vigorously promoted the "security and security plan" in northern China, and implemented the so-called "cage policy" of "railway as the pillar, highway as the chain, and the bunker as the lock".For this reason, the Japanese army built a large number of roads and bunkers in the base areas, which will be divided according to the land to limit the activities of the Eighth Route Army.
The Longquangu Bridge was built during this period, because the Yangtze River is wide, to the rainy season river is deep, it is difficult to cross the river, so the bridge has become a strategic road in dozens of miles.The Jiezhong Eighth Route Army broke through, Longquan Gu Bridge is the only way, it can be said that this bridge has become a lifeline related to the survival of the Eighth Route Army.
The cunning little Japanese also realized this, and Gangcun Ningzi personally ordered the mobilization of the surrounding garrison to fully reinforce the Longquangu Bridge, hold the bridge at all costs, and block the main force of the Eighth Route Army in the east bank of the Zhandu River.
Originally, in order to prevent the Eighth Route Army from destroying the bridge, the little Japanese built a gun tower on both sides of the bridge, and a small team of Japanese soldiers lived here to protect the safety of the bridge.
After the order of Gangcun Ningji was issued, the small Japanese from the nearby stronghold rushed to the Longquan Gu Bridge for reinforcements, and for a time the Longquan Gu Bridge became lively, and in just one hour, the defenders of the Longquan Gu Bridge had increased from more than 50 people to more than 300, and a large number of Japanese pseudo-armies still rushed from all directions to the Longquangu Bridge.
Captain Jiu Jing rushed to the Longquangu Bridge, as the highest Japanese commander in the nearby area, naturally took over the command of the Longquangu Bridge, at this time hundreds of Japanese soldiers were busy on both sides of the bridge to repair the fortifications.
Captain Iwai stood at the head of the bridge and said anxiously, "Order the troops to speed up the reinforcement of the fortifications, and according to reliable information, the Eighth Route Army will arrive soon, and there is not much time left for us."
At this time, a second-in-law of the Japanese next to him said carefully: "Your excellency, you have heard that the Eighth Route Army has a sufficient strength of tens of thousands, and it is probably difficult for us to hold the bridge."
“Hang on!Are you afraid?”Captain Liaoning frowned and asked.
“Wine work is not fear!But it is to worry that if we can't stop the Eighth Route Army and make the Eighth Route Army successfully break through, it is not to miss the imperial army's plan to encircle the Eighth Route Army.Therefore, it is better to abandon the East Bank and blow up the bridge, so that the Eighth Route Army can completely stop the Eighth Route Army from crossing the river.”The Japanese lieutenant explained.
Captain Niu Jing coldly reprimanded: "You are a big drop of stupidity!How much manpower and material resources did the Royal Army spend to build this bridge, and how could it be easily destroyed?”
“Hay!”The second lieutenant answered, and then said carefully, "But the bridge can be repaired when it is destroyed, and if this road escapes, it will be impossible to destroy them for a while."
Captain Iwai nodded slightly and said, "Although this is a good thing, but when the bridge was built, in order to prevent it from being destroyed by the Eighth Route Army, it was especially strengthened, so a bridge so strong that it required a lot of explosives to completely blow it up, if it was only a short period of time, it would not stop the role of the Eighth Route Army, and in a short time you let me go to find so many explosives."
“Hay!It's a bad job."The Japanese lieutenant said.
Captain Iwai couldn't help but sigh deeply and said with a helpless face: "I knew, I shouldn't have built this bridge so solidly in the first place."
But now that it was too late to say anything, Captain Iso thought, and then ordered: "The order goes down, the main forces are concentrated in the West Bank, and the East Coast can be kept in order to keep the withdrawal immediately, but before retreating, the cannon buildings on the east coast must be blown up so as not to be used by the Tuo Tak."
“Hay!The bad job is to be prepared.”The second lieutenant hurriedly responded, turned and hurried away.
Just then a little Japanese man came running in a panic and said with his head down, "Report to your excellency, five miles away from the Eighth Route Army."
“Hang on!These 8 roads are so fast!”Captain Niu Jing frowned and said, “Go down at once and prepare for battle!”Inform the troops that they must make every effort to block the attack of the Eighth Road of the earth and hold the Longquangu Bridge.Inform the reinforcements to speed up the reinforcements as soon as possible.Commander Gangcun Ning has issued a death order, if you can't keep the bridge, we all give up the caesarean section of thanks!"
“Hay!”The little japanese around me spoke in unison.
Not long after, the Ji Zhong Military Region Independent Regiment took the lead in rushing to the east bank of the Longquangu Bridge, due to time constraints, the Independent Regiment must seize the Longquangu Bridge as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable.
The head of the independent regiment immediately ordered the troops to seize the favorable terrain, ready to launch an attack, and after a little preparation, the commander immediately loudly ordered: "The commander blows the storm, the whole regiment attack~!"
With the order of the commander, a machine gun immediately roared, and a string of bullets was fired at the little Japanese on the bridge, and at the same time several mortars opened fire together, and the shells fell continuously on the Japanese position with a harsh howle, and then a loud explosion was made.
Immediately after the loud charge horn sounded, in the shouting and killing of the sky, the brave Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed to the Japanese position one by one, and the battle entered the white-hot stage as soon as it started.
Although the Eighth Route Army's offensive was fierce, the Japanese resistance was also extremely tenacious, especially the Japanese gun building, which became the biggest threat of the Eighth Route Army, and a blazing fire tongue was constantly spraying out from the gun tower, and the Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed up into pieces and fell in the Japanese artillery fire.
Although the Eighth Route Army had several mortars, the mortars were limited in power and could not blow up such a strong artillery tower.The most effective way to deal with such a strong fortification is to completely destroy it with strong artillery fire, but the Eighth Route Army is poorly equipped, even if these mortars are seconded from the artillery battalion, there is no more powerful artillery, against the Japanese artillery building.
However, the battle is still to be fought, but the soldiers can only take some earthly measures.Under the command of the head, the independent regiment organized a death squad, and the death squadron held an explosive bag in his arms, covered with a layer of quilt, then covered with a layer of soil, then covered with a layer of quilt, and then covered with a layer of soil.Then he rushed to the Japanese gun building, and some of the daredevils found the board car, which was filled with sandbags, as a cover, pushing the board truck to move forward step by step.
The battle was very fierce, and the ground was soon covered with a layer of corpses, watching the soldiers one by one, in the Japanese artillery fire, the Eighth Route Army soldiers were not afraid, but became more militant.
