Chapter 507 Simple Suspension Bridge
Chapter 507 Simple Suspension Bridge
"Well, our Yuan Shuai has a solution. Ying'er, Zilong, Huzi, learn more from Yuan Shuai in the future! Look at Yuan Shuai, he not only helped us get weapons, ammunition and food supplies, but also helped us blow up the stone arch bridge, and even surveyed the enemy's action plan and had a good response!"
"Brother Yuan Shuai, you have worked hard on the journey. Take a good rest first. The brothers are also busy transporting ammunition and supplies. It is estimated that so much ammunition and various supplies cannot be transported in one night! We will arrange manpower to deal with the Japanese tomorrow! Hu Zi, take Brother Yuan Shuai to rest!"
Zhao Dalei also felt sorry for Yuan Shuai. After all, he treated Yuan Shuai as his own son-in-law. Of course, he didn't want his son-in-law to be too tired. He also wanted to become a grandfather and have a grandson as soon as possible.
What should I do if I really exhaust myself?
Yuan Shuai stretched out his hand to stop him.
"The Japanese will definitely march at night. Your people are busy transporting supplies and don't have time. I can mobilize brothers from the Hongfei Regiment!"
"The Hongfei Group is helping me defend the front line!"
"Don't worry, the Japanese in Sancha Road and Zhenlongkou will definitely not launch a surprise attack at this time. Five hundred people will be enough! Dacai, contact the Hongfei Group!"
"..."
Zhao Dalei was suddenly speechless.
Although this is the Black Tiger Village and he is the village chief, the Hongfei Group was brought by General Yuan. With one order from General Yuan, the Hongfei Group will definitely come.
Sure enough, when Fu Hongfei of the Hongfei Regiment heard that they were going to fight the Japanese, he was extremely happy.
Although some Japanese came from the front this time, they were only a squadron, and before he could even fire a shot, all the Japanese were killed by his men.
Not only did he feel unsatisfied, his brothers also felt unsatisfied.
As soon as they heard that they were going to fight the Japanese, all the officers clamored for action.
But General Yuan only allowed him to take 500 people with him.
He could only let Fu Yidao lead the team.
Although he wanted to go there very much, he was in charge of the outermost line of defense of the Black Tiger Village's front defense position, so he had to stay here to feel safe.
Fu Yidao brought his men to Yuan Shuai, and Yuan Shuai immediately asked them to take two 2 field guns and ten mortars and leave quickly with him.
Looking at their backs as they left, Zhao Dalei smiled bitterly.
"Yuan Shuai is such a man. He is so tired but he doesn't even take a rest!"
"The leader of the village..."
At this time, one of the men seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.
"If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go!"
Zhao Dalei gave him a fierce look.
"Um, can you please spare me a moment to talk?"
The subordinate smiled awkwardly.
This person is their family’s housekeeper, Zhao Wenxiang.
Loyal to the Zhao family.
Zhao Dalei also likes to listen to his suggestions.
Seeing Zhao Wenxiang's expression, he could only walk to a deserted place.
Zhao Wenxiang then lowered his voice and spoke.
"Village leader, I know you like Yuan Shuai very much, but have you noticed that the people in the Hongfei Group only listen to Yuan Shuai's orders? They are responsible for the outermost front line of defense of our Black Tiger Village! If..."
"what if?"
Zhao Dalei shouted coldly in a low voice.
"Without Yuan Shuai, our Black Tiger Village would have been razed to the ground by the devils long ago. How could you and I have the chance to stand here and talk? I know what you are worried about, but who is our biggest enemy now? The devils! Yuan Shuai only wants to kill the devils. If he has any idea about our Black Tiger Village, he would be attracted to Ying'er! I have already pushed Ying'er to his side as a guard, but what about him!"
"But what if!"
"What if? Trust the people you employ, and don't employ them if you don't trust them. I, Zhao Dalei, have never made a mistake. It was the same in the past and it is still the same now! This matter ends here! As for Ying'er, ah, this girl, it depends on whether she has this blessing!"
Zhao Dalei sighed to the sky...
Far ahead.
On a hill not far from the arch bridge, monkeys and mountain cats lay on the hillside, continuing to observe the Japanese.
But what they didn't expect was that
Although the Japanese sent a team to make a quick detour, a puppet army battalion commander who stayed behind suddenly made a suggestion. He asked someone to throw a rope hook to hook the stone pillar on this side that had not been blown up. After tying the rope, he had someone climb over along the rope.
The first person who went over had two ropes on him.
This guy tied the three ropes to a big tree on the side of the road and let the puppet soldiers behind him climb over along the ropes.
Although the puppet soldiers were also afraid of death, the battalion commander said that anyone who climbed over the rope would be rewarded ten dollars.
A few brave ones actually climbed over along the rope for the sake of the ocean.
In fact, these guys were bandits before. They often did some shameful things and often climbed ropes, so they were so bold.
After these guys brought over a few more ropes.
Several people joined together, cut down a big tree at the bridge head, removed the branches, placed it horizontally at the bridge head, and fixed it with the help of stone piers.
Then tie one end of the rope to the tree, and tie the other end of the rope in the same way.
In this way, there are eight ropes on the bridge deck that is more than ten meters long.
Six of the ropes are on the bridge deck and two are on the sides to serve as fences.
Afterwards, the puppet army battalion commander arranged for people to find wooden boards and place them on top of the six ropes. He even used ropes to fix the two ends of the wooden boards to the ropes below to prevent them from sliding.
After laying for several hours, a sturdy suspension bridge was successfully erected.
This made the Japanese infantry regiment commander very happy.
Let the infantry pass first.
However, the rope has limited bearing capacity and can only be used by infantry, mortars, infantry artillery, light and heavy machine guns. Tucker, 75 field guns and 105 howitzers cannot withstand it at all.
But even so, many Japanese infantrymen were already crossing the bridge.
The monkeys and mountain cats gritted their teeth and cursed.
"Damn it! The Japs are so cunning that they can even come up with this!"
"It wasn't the devil who came up with this idea, it was the puppet army battalion commander!"
"Brother Monkey, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? This place is exactly 600 meters away from the stone arch bridge. We will bombard it with grenade launchers. After each of us fires three shells, we will quickly retreat!"
"understand!"
Lynx quickly took out the grenade launcher from the backpack behind him, loaded the grenade, and aimed in the direction.
The monkey is also ready.
"Fire!"
Following Monkey's command, the two men threw grenades almost at the same time.
"Boom!"
Two grenades accurately hit the wooden suspension bridge.
The wooden boards were blown to pieces, and many Japanese soldiers on the suspension bridge were blown away. Some of them fell down with screams.
"Bagayalu, there are people on the mountain over there, fire, fire!"
When the Japanese regiment commander saw the flames coming out of Monkey's second round of grenades, he immediately shouted loudly.
Light and heavy machine guns immediately opened fire at the monkey.
Fortunately, it was dark and the Japs couldn't shoot accurately.
Monkey and Mountain Cat each fired three grenades and then quickly retreated.
"Bagayalu, mortars, bomb them!"
When the Japanese commander saw that the suspension bridge he had just built was blown up, he gritted his teeth and roared in anger.
