Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 1510 The Story of a Donkey and a Speedboat
The southern front troops of the South China Front Army abandoned Wencheng County and went to Rui'an, Pingyang, and Cangnan to directly attack Fuding. The guerrilla columns in these towns gave up resistance and fled to Wencheng County and Jingning. Dangerous not only preserved its own strength, but also frequently attacked and harassed the Japanese army's supply lines, which made the Japanese army's logistics and supply troops extremely troublesome.Matsui Iwane originally planned to concentrate his forces to carry out the suppression after the capture of Fuding and Longquan, but now, with the overall defeat of the troops on the southern front, let alone the suppression, he now has to worry about the enemy's harassment.

Matsui Iwane's worries are not unreasonable.He had just breathed a sigh of relief because of the departure of the Air Force Corps of the Xuebing Army. Major Okubo Qingchuan, the captain of the cavalry brigade who opened the way ahead, sent someone to report back, saying that the simple engineering bridge above the Aojiang River had been blown up.

The Aojiang River originates at the southern foot of Wudi Mountain in the South Yandang Mountains, and flows through Xiaojiang Town as its northern main stream.At that time, there was no bridge on the main stream of the Aojiang River, and local residents relied on ferries to travel between the two banks.When the southern front troops of the South China Front Army attacked Cangnan, a simple pontoon bridge was built on the section of the river where the Huangdu Ferry used to ferry local residents for the convenience of passage, and a brigade was stationed for defense.

In Wencheng County, there are currently three guerrilla columns assembled in Cangnan, Ruiping and Wencheng.The three guerrilla columns were under the unified command of Tian Wenfeng, the commander of the third brigade of the former Xinghuo Brigade.When the Japanese army first started building a bridge over the Aojiang River, Tian Wenfeng sent people to follow him.And last night, when Hisao Tani launched the first strike of the New Year strategy, he also sent Ruiping (Ruian, Pingyang) guerrilla column to attack Huangdu Ferry, killing more than a dozen devils.At around ten o'clock in the morning, after he received Jiang Guangnai's telegram to harass and snipe the Japanese troops fleeing eastward along the way, he immediately thought of the pontoon bridge.When the war was stalemate, the significance of this pontoon bridge was not that important, but now it determines whether the Japanese army can escape the lifeline of pursuit.At that time, because the Meixi brigade of the Ruiping guerrilla column closest to the pontoon bridge was also in Meixi Township, nine kilometers away, and it would be too late to rush there. any idea.He said to the three column leaders: "The Huangdu pontoon bridge must be blown up! Once the Huangdu pontoon bridge is blown up, the Japanese army's escape route to the east will be cut off! But the Meixi brigade closest to the Huangdu pontoon bridge will need two Hours, everyone think about what a good way to do."

Everyone was thinking hard about the countermeasures, feeling that no matter how time came, they could not win. Chen Yao, the captain of the Taoyuan Guerrilla Brigade of the Ruiping Guerrilla Column, who was squatting at the door, said: "If you have a fast horse, I have a solution!"

Everyone looked over in unison, his immediate superior, Huang Ma, the column leader of the Ruiping guerrilla column, said: "Don't be tricky, tell me what can be done."

Chen Yao stood up and said, "Didn't we hide a speedboat in Taoyuan? If there is a fast horse that can drive there within 10 minutes, bring some explosives and use the speedboat to go straight down the current to blow up the pontoon bridge. There must be time."

This method is feasible, but there is another problem in front of everyone-where to go to the horse?Also, one horse is certainly not enough.Because you need to bring explosives, and you need professional people to operate both the speedboat and the explosives, you need at least three horses.

When everyone was scratching their heads, Gu Baofu, the leader of the Cangnan guerrilla column, had an idea and said, "Can donkeys make it without horses? Don't we have several donkeys in our logistics department?"

There is really no way, if there is no horse, then the donkey will have to be used.So, led by Chen Yao, a group of four guerrillas and six donkeys, four donkeys carrying people, one donkey loaded with explosives, and the other donkey loaded with gasoline, set off on the road under the eager attention of Tian Wenfeng and others.

Tian Wenfeng and others realized the importance of the Huangdu Floating Bridge to the Japanese army, and Matsui Iwane naturally would not fail to realize it. This is why he asked Okubo Qingchuan's cavalry brigade to rush to the Huangdu Floating Bridge before the main force.However, Okubo Qingchuan was still one step late in the end. When Chen Yao and others ignited the explosive fuze and jumped into the panting Aojiang River, the devils from the Okubo Cavalry Brigade had just rushed to the west of the Huangdu floating bridge.After galloping, Okubo and others were exhausted. He straightened up and moved his almost numb buttocks, when he heard one of his subordinates shout: "What is that?" "Don't!" The little devil shouted anxiously—it was too late, the speedboat hit the pontoon bridge and was caught. A few seconds later, a row of huge waves rose into the sky. A gap of more than ten meters.Immediately, the pontoon bridge that was broken in two swayed downstream under the impact of the river water, and then was slowly pulled apart. Amid the exclamation of the devils, it stuck to the shore like two strings of duckweed...

"Baba..." The little devil who was defending the pontoon bridge finally reacted and started shooting towards the river.But the gunshot sounded more like naked irony to Okubo.The little devil was furious. He drove his horse to Major Kimura Ichiro, the commander who was defending the floating bridge. Full responsibility! You bastard, what responsibility can you take..."

When Hisao Tani hijacked the people of Cangnan to launch the third strike of the New Year's strategy, neither Iwane Matsui nor Ichiro Oku, including Hisao Tani himself, did not expect that the Xuebing Army would reverse and launch a counterattack.So the meaning of Huangdu floating bridge to them is just a floating bridge.

Liu Yuqing, Pang Deya, and Jiang Guangnai didn't expect to fight like this, so they didn't realize the significance of this pontoon bridge.

Therefore, the bombing of the Huangdu Floating Bridge is actually quite dramatic.Who would have thought that six donkeys and a speedboat would change the outcome of a battle?
Tian Wenfeng, the initiator of the bridge bombing, did not realize that his decision would have such a huge impact. When Okubo Qingchuan was frantically whipping Kimura Ichiro, who was at the same level as him, he was carrying the main force of the three guerrilla columns. Running on the mountain road of South Yandang Mountain.

Perhaps just because the horse was replaced by a donkey, Tian Wenfeng did not have enough confidence to blow up the pontoon bridge before the main force of the Japanese army arrived.He led his team down the mountain to the front line of Pingyang and Rui'an, just to resolutely carry out Jiang Guangnai's order.Worried about not being able to catch up with the opportunity to beat the dog in the water, the guerrillas ran wildly on the mountain road. At this time, Matsui Iwane was vomiting again because of Okubo's emergency military report. "Bage! Kimura is an ass!" The old devil was really worried and angry, he cursed with trembling lips, his legs were weak, and the devil officer around him was frightened.

"Your Excellency! Are you okay?!"

"Your Excellency, please calm down!"

"Your Excellency, what should we do now?"
