Chapter 469: Secret Investigation of the Yellow River Enemy Pontoon Bridge (2)

Lei Jian was in the enemy camp, like a swimming soul, appearing in different positions from time to time, this half-big stinky boy who was more daring than the sky, actually touched the pontoon bridge on the west bank of the Yellow River, lay on the embankment, and repeatedly observed the pontoon bridge erected by the Japanese army on the surface of the roaring Yellow River by the stars in the night.

This pontoon bridge connects the east and west banks of the Yellow River, and he has been looking through the telescope on the east bank during the day, and has a little impression.

The pontoon bridge is one meter wide, it is very thick in modern times, it should be called the wire rope to be pulled horizontally on both sides of the Yellow River, the upper and lower four steel cables are spaced, the following two steel cables are fixed with wooden planks, and become the temporary bridge for traffic, and the upper two steel cables are used as handrails when people and horses cross the bridge.

The steel cables on both sides of the pontoon bridge are not very clear in the night, and they should be climbed up and down to form a guardrail with ropes to prevent people or things from accidentally falling into the roaring Yellow River.

In the darkness of the night, Lei Jian was not sure whether the four pull ropes of the pontoon bridge, which played a key role up and down, were steel cables, and once they were steel cables, they would bring great trouble to occupying the pontoon bridge, cutting through the steel cables, and blocking the fire attack of the Japanese 372nd Company attacking from the east bank of the Yellow River.

After meticulous reconnaissance, Lei Jian tried his best to put everything in his eyes into his mind, he knew that time was limited, and he did not dare to stay in the enemy camp for a long time, once discovered by the enemy, he would inevitably be chased and killed by the devil's firepower, which would inevitably cause the enemy to be highly vigilant, not only could not send back the information detected at the risk of his life in time, but also delayed the timely issuance of accurate combat action orders.

Lei Jian slowly moved his body back, and just as he was about to stand up, four patrolling Japanese soldiers suddenly walked from behind him.

was so frightened that Lei Jian fell to the ground, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

The devil patrol came to a stop more than ten steps away from the thunder sword, and one of the little devils whispered: "Which of you has a cigarette, I really can't hold on, I really want to take a puff." ”

"Bastard, you don't want to live? The squadron leader is strictly forbidden to smoke at night, your sparks will reveal our location, and once the earth is attacked, yours will be dead. ”

Only then did Lei Jian figure out why the little devil was in the pontoon embankment position at night, and no lights appeared, it turned out that he was afraid of exposing the target and being attacked by a sneak attack.

He was lying on the ground sweating anxiously, time passed little by little, if these four little devils had been standing more than a dozen steps away from him, they would find him sooner or later, if they were discovered, even if they killed these four bastards like a whirlwind and escaped, the devils would still be exposed when they saw the four soldiers killed, and the enemy would be attacked by sneak attack, and the Japanese army guarding the bridge would definitely take great precautions.

The more Lei Jian waited, the more impatient he became, he was fixed here by the four devil patrols at this time, and he didn't dare to move.

Suddenly, the thunder sword flashed, stretched out his hand and touched a small stone or dirt beside him, grabbed it in his hand, and was about to throw it out while the four patrolling little devils were not paying attention.

At this moment, a voice came from a tent: "Did you come here and find anything suspicious?" Tell me quickly. ”

The four patrolling little devils hurriedly walked towards the tent, and shouted in a low voice as they walked: "Your Excellency the captain in the report, there is no suspicion, please take a good rest, once we find anything suspicious, we will report it as soon as possible." ”

Lei Jian took advantage of the four little devils walking towards the tent, he scanned the surroundings to make sure that there was no danger, and then he suddenly jumped up, like a frog, bouncing on the ground and pounced on Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan's hiding place.

Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan, who were waiting anxiously and sweating profusely, saw a strange black shadow, jumped and pounced, saying that it was like a dog, the body was a little big, it was said to be a toad, it was even more impossible, how could there be such a big toad?

When Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan were hesitating to move, the black shadow that rushed over quickly blew out a whistle that could only be heard by the two of them, and the two new fighters, Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan, who were half frightened, breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to shout excitedly, but quickly covered their mouths for fear of exposure.

Lei Jian pounced on the two of them, quickly lay down, adjusted his posture and looked at the devil's tents again, and then whispered to the two: "Retreat slowly, don't make a sound." ”

The soldiers of the pioneer company in charge of vigilance saw three black shadows carefully touched from the front, one of the soldiers raised his gun and asked, and was pulled by Wang Xiaoliang and whispered: "Don't be silent, prepare for battle, I think it should be Commander Lei They are back, once there is a change, they will be hunted immediately." ”

It was really Lei Jian and the three of them who returned, Wang Xiaoliang hugged Lei Jian tightly, trembled and said: "Captain Lei, my brother-in-law, you scared me to death, since you left, this little heart of mine has been in my throat, I, I can hope you back." ”

Lei Jian said in a low voice: "Xiaoliang, good brother, we don't have much time now, we don't have time to make love, let go of me, it's important to get down to business first." ”

The soldiers of the Pioneer Company surrounded Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan, squeezed them in the middle, and asked eagerly one by one: "You two stinky boys are so blessed, you just joined the Eighth Route Army, and you followed Commander Lei, how about it, this time close to the Japanese beachhead of the Yellow River to investigate, it must be very exciting, right?" ”

Song Tiedan shook his head like a rattle, and said with emotion and mysteriousness: "You didn't go with me this time, if you see that our Captain Lei is like a swimming demon god, single-handedly touching into the enemy camp, like walking on a flat road, coming and going freely, that is, me and Qu Jiaming, if it were replaced by you, you would be scared of your little gall, and you would be paralyzed on the ground and couldn't get up." ”

"Tell me how thrilling it is." The warriors asked anxiously.

Song Tiedan saw that the soldiers were amused by him, and pretended to be mysterious and said: "This is a military secret, you can't say it casually, you ......." ”

"You bastard, you arouse our interest, you kid pick up the shelf and don't say it, say it quickly, if you don't say it, take off your pants and dig it on your head, don't you say it?"

Several soldiers around him shouted in a low voice, and they were about to make a move on Song Tiedan, so frightened that Song Tiedan hurriedly told him to forgive: "Okay, don't do it, I said it's not okay?" ”

Song Tiedan exaggerated the details of how he saw Lei Jian touch into the enemy group, and when he was nervous, the soldiers around him were sweating in their palms, and no one dared to interject, for fear of missing the key details.

Lei Jian watched the soldiers gather together, and listened to Song Tiedan's nonsense in the crowd, he didn't care about this, so he called Wang Xiaoliang, combat staff officer Zhou Peng, and reconnaissance platoon commander Song Chun to him, did a good job of light cover, and gave a detailed explanation according to the Japanese barracks layout, weapon allocation, and soldier fortification that he had detected when he entered the enemy camp, especially the two bunkers on the embankment.

Wang Xiaoliang frowned and asked: "Commander Lei, you said that the devil's bunker can have at least one squad of devils, as well as four light and heavy machine guns, then let's attack the enemy position on the devil's beach, these two bunkers of the devil will become the firepower of our overcome, you said that our vanguard company of less than 100 soldiers can deal with this squadron of the Japanese army blocked by bunker firepower?" ”

Lei Jian pointed to the sketch of the Japanese embankment drawn on the ground and said: "Deputy Regiment Commander Wang proposed to attack the Japanese embankment position, and the most difficult main problem is the two bunkers built by the enemy on the west bank of the pontoon bridge, these two bunkers are the biggest resistance to our breakthrough of the devil's embankment position, and they are also the most difficult hard bones to gnaw.

If we want to occupy the enemy's shore and beach enemy positions and destroy the devils who are stationed in the positions and bunkers, relying on the firepower of less than 100 of our soldiers alone to deal with the Japanese troops in a strong position of a squadron will probably only be brutal, and it will not necessarily occupy the devil's position.

On the way back, I have already preliminarily formed a relatively complete set of combat plans in my mind, and when I say it in a moment, you will listen carefully, memorize it carefully, use your brains, and help me make this combat plan more impeccable; only in this way will it be possible for the surviving vanguard company that has crossed the Yellow River to succeed in striking a blow at the devil's position. ”

Lei Jian carefully explained the battle plan formed after repeated study of the enemy situation that he had detected in the enemy camp, and several people around him put forward some supplementary opinions and small changes, so that the entire battle plan was more perfect in theory.

Lei Jian looked at his watch, there were still twenty minutes left before the east and west banks of the Yellow River launched an attack on the Japanese embankment position, he glanced at a few people, pointed to the sketch of the Japanese army's position on the west bank of the Yellow River that he drew on the ground, and ordered: "Order Wang Xiaoliang and Song Chun, each lead a squad of soldiers, take advantage of the night, touch the pontoon embankment, secretly approach the Japanese embankment bunker, and use cluster grenades to destroy the two devil bunkers, at all costs, this is an order." ”
