my bright sword career

Chapter 190 Shocking the Stone Bridge
The Japanese plane flew away, leaving only chicken feathers on the ground. Gao Hongming felt powerless watching the position that the troops had spent a day building being blown to pieces.

No matter how many advanced anti-aircraft artillery he adds to the air defense battalion, he can only carry out passive defense after all, but the Japanese planes can carry out air strikes on him at any time, any direction, and any place.

One is active and the other is passive, no matter how well prepared he is, how many attacks he can repel the Japanese plane, but as long as he is seized by the Japanese plane once, the people waiting for the Liantai militia will be doomed.

"We can no longer be so passively beaten." Gao Hongming secretly made up his mind that he will form his own air force after returning this time.

Some things have to be done no matter how difficult they are. After all, no matter how fierce a tiger is, it will sometimes take a nap, and being passively beaten is not in his character.

However, although the idea is good, the premise is to survive this difficulty first. He estimated that the frontline troops of the Japanese 408th Division should be arriving soon.

Facts have proved that Gao Hongming's guess was correct. Not long after the Japanese plane flew away, the observation post at the Qianqiu Bridge stronghold reported that they found the vanguard of the Japanese army.

Gao Hongming called the staff: "Have the armored battalions returned yet?"

"Reporting to the regiment, all the armored battalions have returned. Their casualties are not large. Only the machine infantry company suffered more than 20 casualties during the attack, but lost a Lynx scout tank during the battle. Fortunately, the soldiers inside The armored soldiers were all rescued."

"That's good, the loss of the tank is a trivial matter, as long as the people are kept."

After hearing that there were no casualties in the armored soldiers, Gao Hongming breathed a sigh of relief. The training of armored soldiers is not easy. He has stumbled all the way to the present, and he has only trained more than 100 armored soldiers with all his strength, and most of them are melon eggs. He felt distressed at the loss of several people.

"Since they're back, let them retreat to the predetermined location and hide, and tell Li Chang'an that they must not be exposed easily without my order, otherwise I will not spare him if there are heavy casualties!"

"understand!"

While Gao Hongming was busy arranging troops, Fujino Jiuming, the captain of the 222 regiment who had just arrived at Qianqiu Bridge, looked at the surging river and the 200-meter-long stone bridge opposite, and frowned deeply. I couldn't help but say something.

"Baga, the Chinese people are very cunning!"

He had just received a telegram from the head of the division that the No. 30 flying team had just bombed the opposite Chinese position, but according to the news from the No. 30 flying team, the bombing effect was not very good.

The Huaxia people's ground anti-aircraft firepower was unexpectedly strong. The No.30 flying team lost a total of six Type 30 fighters and four Type [-] heavy bombers in this bombing, and claimed that this was the No.[-] flying team since entering China. biggest loss ever.

Fujino Jiuming, who was already worried because of the heavy damage to the first brigade, raised his vigilance to the highest level.

As soon as the troops arrived at the Qingyuan River, they sent more than a dozen leading soldiers to investigate the Qianqiu Bridge, and found that there was not even a Chinese soldier on this side of the river, and the gun tower that originally stood by the bridge was also blown into ruins.

The chief of staff of the regiment on the side asked him: "Your Excellency, the commander of the regiment, the commander of the division ordered us to attack the Chinese people immediately after arriving. Shall we attack immediately?"

"No, launching a large-scale attack now is courting death."

Fujino Jiuming shook his head, pointed to the stone bridge in front of him and said, "Mr. Sakai, look... this stone bridge is the only one in a hundred miles around the Qingyuan River. If we want to cross the bridge, we must take it. But you have I never thought about it, the Chinese had plenty of time to blow up the stone bridge, but why didn't they do it?"

Naturally, it is not a fool who can become the chief of staff of the regiment. Sakai thought for a while, "Could it be that the Chinese people kept that bridge on purpose, just to let us pass through, and then concentrate their firepower to kill us?"

Everyone knows that the stone bridge can hold a limited number of people, if they want to force their way through, the other party's random cannon fire will be enough for them to eat a pot.

"At present, this is the only explanation." Fujino Jiuming nodded.

"Baga, Commander China is obviously humiliating us!" Chief of Staff Sakai cursed angrily, and Fujino Hisamaki's face was also very ugly.

Unlike the Japanese army in Shanxi, the 108th Division has been stationed in Hebei most of the time since it came to China. These years, it has been smooth sailing. Although it was taught a lesson by the armored battalion today, almost all of the first brigade were beaten. Disabled, but the contempt for the Chinese army in his bones still hasn't changed.

Therefore, even though they knew that they were likely to face a powerful army, the two still believed that even if they couldn't defeat them, it should be no problem to wrestle their wrists.

So after thinking about it, Fujino Jiuming first sent a team of engineers to inspect the stone bridge, and after confirming that there were no traps in the stone bridge, he sent a small team to carefully walk along the stone bridge towards the river.

The team had just reached the bridge when gunshots rang out from the opposite side.

"Kaka...Kaka..."

Amid the sound of a chainsaw tearing tarpaulin, dense bullets instantly submerged the team in the rain of bullets...

On the opposite side of the bridge, Fujino Hisami held up the binoculars, his face was shocked and pale.

The machine gun firepower of the Chinese army on the opposite side can be said to be the only one he has ever seen in his life. He can clearly see that the opponent has used a total of four machine guns to form a complete crossfire, and the rate of fire of this machine gun is extremely exaggerated. In less than 5 minutes, a team just disappeared.

"Sakai-kun, did you see that?"

"I see, the Chinese man on the opposite side is equipped with a powerful machine gun that we have never seen before. The rate of fire is extremely exaggerated. Compared with him, our Type [-] heavy machine gun is like a slow old lady."

Fujino Hisami and Sakai's expressions were serious.

"Mr. Sakai, you have memorized the fire positions of the Chinese people just now, and ordered the artillery squadron to shell the machine gun positions of the Chinese people, and then send another unit to conduct a tentative attack."

"Are you sending a team this time?"

Fujino Jiuming shook his head: "No... Judging from the firepower of the Chinese people just now, a small team can't achieve much effect. This time, when we send a squadron, we must occupy the bridgehead position as quickly as possible, so that we can serve our army. The peloton used to create the conditions."

Soon, the artillery squadron of the Japanese army shelled the Huaxia position that had just been surveyed and mapped. Four [-]-type infantry guns shelled the opposite side of the bridge for more than ten minutes, blasting the other side of the Qianqiu Bridge into dust.

After the shelling ended, another squadron of Japanese troops rushed along the stone bridge...
