Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

This first battalion was the unit that fought the battle of Rahasusu, and the battalion commander was Zhang Yao. In order to fight the first battle to recover the lost ground, Lin Yuan temporarily set up the headquarters in the first battalion.

When he came to fight in an unfamiliar place, the first thing the commander did was to find out about the situation with the local fellow. The fellow said: "The name of this river comes from the Manchu language, which means 'the river bed is erratic'. Its river course often changes. Therefore, a large swamp was left on both sides of the river, and we had to be more careful when driving animals, otherwise we would be stuck and unable to get out. If you want to cross the river near here, you can only take the Xiaoshang bridge."

Lin Yuan asked again: "Did the Russians cross the river?"

The fellow replied: "The Russians built watchtowers on the other side of the river. Their people seldom come out. They usually patrol near the Xiaoshang Bridge." Lin Yuan originally wanted to catch some Russians to understand the situation. Hearing this, he thought : "I have to make another plan."

After Lin Yuan listened to the fellow's introduction, he went to the river to observe the terrain. The river was winding, and the place one kilometer away from the river was full of swamps. It was impossible for large troops to pass through it. Lin Yuan walked north along the river bank. , I found the small business bridge that the fellow said.

The Xiaoshang Bridge is made of wood, nearly 100 meters long and five meters wide. There are solid gravel roads on both sides for walking. It is October and the autumn flood season of the Noro River, so the water flow under the bridge Very quickly, there was a bridgehead and two watchtowers on the other side of the bridge. The machine guns on the watchtowers formed a crossfire, sealing the bridge tightly.

Between the watchtowers, there was an artillery emplacement, and the two artillery pieces were covered with tarpaulin. From the angle of the cannon barrels, Lin Yuan deduced that they were two cannons with a longer range. The semi-automatic rifle fired five consecutive shots at the sky, and suddenly people appeared from the bridgehead, and people outside the artillery position also rushed to the artillery, lifted the tarpaulin, and prepared to fire.

Lin Yuan looked at his watch, and said to Zhang Yao beside him, "It took less than 5 minutes from hearing the gunshot to the assembly. The old Maozi's army seems to be an elite one." Lin Yuan guessed right. , stationed here is a company of the famous Russian Iron Blood Regiment, with about 300 people. In history, this regiment once made great achievements in the Northern War between Russia and Sweden, and was sent to Wanda Mountain to build and hold on Fortress, Russian coach Grodjeko placed high hopes on this unit.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "If we want to attack this bridge by force, the casualties will definitely not be small. Is there any better way?"

Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Yao, pointed to the swamp by the river, and said, "Are you familiar with this environment?"

Zhang Yao was taken aback, and said, "There is such a wetland by the sea. We encountered it when the marines were training. What's the matter?" Lin Yuan said, "Aren't all the soldiers under your command the fishermen of Ryukyu? They must know How to cross the swamp."

Zhang Yao smiled helplessly: "I know the way to talk about the swamp. We have also trained it. The simplest way is to use a wooden stick to explore the road before walking, so you won't get stuck, but this way of walking The speed is too slow, once discovered by the enemy, it will cause great casualties."

Lin Yuan said: "The reason why the swamp traps people is that when people step on it, the area under pressure is small and the pressure is strong. If people step on wooden boards, the area under force increases, and people will not Once it sinks in, use something like an oar to push the mud, and the plank can move forward like a boat. In some places along the coast, fishermen use this method to catch fish in the tidal flats.”

Zhang Yao quickly said, "I'll make arrangements now."

After Zhang Yao investigated in the army, he found out that more than a dozen soldiers had had such experiences, so he called them all. When Lin Yuan asked, they said, "This kind of thing is called mud in our country." With a board on your feet, you can walk freely in the swamp."

Lin Yuan ordered them to buy wood from fellow villagers' homes to make such clay boards, and then selected a river crossing area. The river here is very wide, so the river flows very slowly. With the water skills of the soldiers, they can swim smoothly.

After two days of preparation, at [-] o'clock in the evening on October [-], fifty soldiers paddled clay tablets and marched to the other side of the river.

Lin Yuan appointed Zhang Yao to lead the team himself. In order to strengthen the firepower of this small team, Lin Yuan specially assigned a bazooka squad of the Sixth Division to Zhang Yao's command.

Fifty soldiers trudged through the muddy swamp. They moved lightly and tried not to make too much noise. The distance of less than 2000 meters took them four hours!

When they reached the other side, it was already two o'clock in the morning on October [-]th. Regardless of their fatigue, they headed towards the bridgehead according to the original plan.

The grass near the bridgehead was as high as half a person, which provided them with excellent cover. Zhang Yao led the team to approach 200 meters away from the bridgehead. Zhang Yao then ordered: The bazooka squad is ready.

The bazooka squad in the sixth division is equipped with three bazookas, each bazooka is equipped with three shooters, and carries eight rockets. These 24 rockets will give the enemy a head-on blow.Although it was late at night, the bridgehead was still heavily guarded. Two searchlights scanned the bridge alternately. The Russian army in the bridgehead was full of energy and never tired.

The bazooka squad started to move, one shooter reloaded, one shooter aimed and fired, and soon after reloading, the shooter raised the gauge and put the bridgehead into the front sight.

Zhang Yao made a gesture of launching, and the shooter calmly pulled the trigger. The rocket roared away with a half-meter-long tail flame. A strong wave of high-temperature air sprayed out from the tail of the rocket launcher, kicking up dust more than two meters high. Cover the shooter in it.

The tail of the rocket allowed it to fly smoothly in the air, and the speed close to 500 meters per second allowed it to reach the target in an instant. The rocket hit the sandbags of the bridgehead, and then the explosion began. The sandbags were under the huge air wave Flying far away, the glass of the searchlight was shattered by the shock wave. Four of the eight Russian soldiers inside were killed on the spot, and the rest were knocked unconscious.

As soon as the bazooka squad hit the target, a red flare rose in the distant sky. In the red light and shadow, the First Division and the First Brigade launched an attack on Xiaoshangqiao.

This was Lin Yuan's two-pronged approach. The small unit launched an attack from behind the Russian army, while the large army launched a frontal attack from the front.

Although the rocket launcher is powerful, it also has a fatal weakness, that is, the fire after launch, the smoke is very large, and it is easy to expose the target. Therefore, after launching a rocket, the rocket launcher team quickly shifts its position and prepares to attack the next target. Two 105mm guns.

Because the bridge body is relatively narrow, the artillery with a low ballistic trajectory is extremely lethal to the attacking troops. The Russian army reacted very quickly after the explosion sounded. direction.

If the two cannons cannot be blown up in time, the bridge attacking troops will suffer huge losses. Zhang Yao led the small team to touch the artillery positions. Because the first division's bridge attacking operation, the Russian army did not notice Zhang Yao. led the squad.Zhang Yao and the others successfully approached the place less than 100 meters away from the artillery. This time, the three rocket launchers were ready at the same time, and the others were on guard around. They watched as the Russian gunners opened the breech latch, loaded the warheads, and then loaded them into the gun. Fired the cartridge, closed the breech breech, and fired!
