Chapter 867 Broken Bridge
At this time, looking from the commanding heights in the northern part of the valley, smoke was already rising from the enemy's Western Front Brigade headquarters.

It wasn't us who fought, it was the enemy who burned the documents. They were not stupid and knew the situation was not good.

"Gather the troops, get ready, adjust the aiming point of the artillery, and prepare for the assault!" This time, a half battalion came, which was enough to wipe out this important enemy.

At such a close distance, traditional artillery techniques and tactics are enough to aim accurately, and even advanced things like positioning systems are not necessary.

The mortar group did not move, but adjusted the direction and angle of the muzzle.

75 Wu did move, but this thing shoots straight ahead, and there's no way to hit it unless you catch up.

While the troops that beheaded the enemy brigade are preparing for the assault, our attention returns to the front-line battlefield.

The situation in the many enemy positions distributed along the 15-kilometer front is basically the same.

We had superior forces on all battlefields, and there was no problem of infiltration caused by complex terrain, lack of maps and positioning systems, etc.

Originally, our troops took the wrong route, resulting in a situation where there were too many people in one position, and there was only less than one company in the other main attack direction, attacking the enemy that we had originally planned to encircle with one battalion.

But even so, we still managed to take down the enemy's position after suffering certain casualties.

However, this situation did not happen at all at this time. The comrades were rushing all the way, interspersed according to the plan, launching attacks at the same time, cooperating tacitly, rushing and hitting fiercely, and directly knocked Zang San dumbfounded.

Less than an hour and a half after the battle began, the enemy's outer bunkers were completely destroyed in almost all positions.

At this time, on the battlefields one by one, the 75th non-gun squads finally caught up with the soldiers, and most of them had never fired a single shot.

This made the soldiers in the artillery squad very helpless.

"This battle is so strange. From this morning till now, not a single shot has been fired!"

"Are we here to travel on the battlefield?"

"Their bazooka is too powerful. They fire at anything they see. We don't even have a chance to perform."

"Don't worry, don't worry. This is a good thing. We have a chance. The range of that rocket launcher is much shorter than our 75mm range."

"But it's all close combat here, so we can't take advantage of our range."

But soon, their place in life came.

Comrades have surrounded some core large bunkers on various positions.

"Where are the recoilless rifles? Come up, come up, and fire!" The officers and soldiers all chose the 75mm recoilless rifle.

"At this distance, we can use 61mm rounds, right?" Some soldiers thought it was pointless.

"The comrades from the 75th class finally caught up. It's a good opportunity to use their firepower. The 61st class will be used during the assault. This is a positional battle, and the 75th class is just right."

Before the attack, the soldiers brought a lot of 61 rockets. Not only the rocket launcher operators, but even the ordinary infantrymen brought one or two.

Up to now, it has not been used up, but these front-line commanders and fighters are reluctant to use it. What if they need to infiltrate, pursue, encircle and annihilate the enemy?
It now seems that in this environment, the 75mm cannon is difficult to be readily available, so these "cannons in the hands of the infantry" are the only siege weapons that can be used.

Now that all the 75mm shells have come up, let's make good use of their artillery shells. Look at the comrades in the artillery squad, they are so anxious that sparks are almost coming out of their eyes. They have a lot of shells left, it's time for them to use them up and vent their anger.

The comrades in the artillery squad quickly set up the guns and loaded ammunition, and shells flew towards the enemy's core bunker.

Amid the roar of the recoilless gun, even if the enemy's bunker has been in operation for many years, it still cannot withstand this continuous close-range output.

Amid the sound of explosions, bricks and stones from the enemy's core bunkers flew everywhere, occasionally carrying the enemy's broken limbs and arms into the sky.

Although some of the enemies had not yet engaged in the battle, when they saw that the situation was not good, they threw away their weapons and retreated like the tide.

At the eastern end of the valley where we fought fiercely, the river merged into a large river flowing from north to south. At the confluence of the rivers, a part of the enemy was entrenched along the northward flow of the large river. There was a bridge at the confluence, which was the only way for the enemy to escape along the main road.

This bridge is located deep behind enemy lines, and when the battle broke out, our main force had not yet arrived here.

But we will certainly not let go of such an important choke point. Although the main force has not arrived, the scouts who went out for reconnaissance have been eyeing this place for a long time.

At this time, the squad leader of the scouts was receiving orders from the headquarters on the walkie-talkie. In fact, this place was about 3 to 5 kilometers north along the river. Our headquarters was there. The river valley was straight, so the walkie-talkie signal was very clear.

"Now I order you to blow up that bridge! The comrades in the Air Force will cooperate with you." The order came clearly from the walkie-talkie.

There is no need to take it down here. This is actually behind enemy lines. If the enemy flees and rushes in like a tide, it will be a huge threat to our reconnaissance squad.

What we want is to cut off the enemy's retreat, and it will be fine as long as this goal is achieved.

"Squad leader, let's go!" This was a lightly equipped reconnaissance squad and they did not bring much siege firepower. However, the soldiers looked at the enemy guarding the bridge and did not take them seriously at all.

The squad leader shook his head: "No, we're using new weapons this time!"

After saying that, he adjusted the radio frequency and started shouting.

A few kilometers further north on the battle line, traditionally speaking, in the air behind our attack point, an aircraft similar to the Il-28, fully equipped with weapons, was circling in the air.

It had nothing else on it except one weapon: six 6kg laser-guided bombs. Suddenly, a comrade called out through the headset of the weapons operator on the plane: "Xue Diao Xue Diao, this is Lynx, please reply."

The wait finally came, and the two comrades on the plane were overjoyed.

The Attack-6, which had been hovering in the air for some time, imagined the fierce battle going on below in their heads. However, although they were fully equipped with weapons, they were unable to help, which made them a little anxious.

"Snow sculpture received! Bobcat, please speak." He almost shouted.

"We are at position XXXX and are about to begin irradiation."

After checking its own position and comparing it with the map, Attack-6 began to adjust its course: "Xue Diao understands."

At this time, on the mountain next to the bridge, our scout comrades took out a machine that looked a bit like a huge telescope or aiming device. They opened the tripod and placed the machine on it.

A scout comrade put his eyes close to the eyepiece with a rubber cup, and the bridge was clearly visible in the field of view of the eyepiece.

Pressing the crosshairs to the bridge, he pressed the laser button.

An invisible light shone towards the bridge.

At this time in the air, on the Gong-6, which had already adjusted its direction, two powered-on laser-guided bombs sent clear signals to the operator.

I found my target!

"Bobcat, Bobcat, Snow Sculpture, prepare to drop bombs." The weapons operator reported to the reconnaissance squad in the distance.

"Intercept the target! Drop the bomb from the left!" After receiving an affirmative answer, the weapon operator of the Attack-6 pressed the bomb drop switch to the pilot, and a bomb under the left wing sank down, left the carrier aircraft, and flew forward.

The weapons operator adjusted the weapon selector switch and selected another bomb.

"Throw a bomb right!"

At the same position on the right wing, another bomb also left the carrier aircraft and headed towards the target.

In order to ensure the balance of the aircraft and at the same time guarantee the strike effect, Gong-6 used two bombs at one time.

"Bobcat Bobcat, two 250kg bombs have been dropped, please keep illuminating."

"Bobcat understands!" The somewhat excited voice of the scout comrade came from the headset.

The bombing mission of the Gong-6 has been completed. The pilot drove the plane out of the bombing route and continued to circle in the air.

On the hill beside the bridge, the comrade in charge of aiming stared at the bridge with his eyes wide open, and the crosshairs of the illuminator were kept steadily pressed on the center of the bridge deck.

The scouts did not aim at the bridge piers on purpose. If the bridge piers were blown up, the bridge would be completely ruined, and it would be difficult for us to repair it when we wanted to chase them. At this time, we only need to destroy the bridge deck and blow it up to block the enemy's escape for a while.

All the scout comrades found it very new. They had fought and thought about sabotage operations behind enemy lines before, but they had never expected this kind of tactics.

They looked at the bridge and the sky curiously.

There seems to be a sound of breaking air?

There are certain requirements for the eyes of scouts. Some of them have better vision than ordinary soldiers. The comrades with sharp eyes have already seen a small black dot flying in the air.

No, there were two. When they got closer, they found that there were two bombs, one in front and one behind.

At this time, the enemies guarding the bridge had no idea that a disaster was about to happen.

They were just worriedly listening to the artillery fire a few kilometers away, still firmly believing that they could defeat six alone!

Suddenly, a special "Woo~~~~" sound was heard.

"Bomb!" A dirty guy shouted and fell to the ground.

In this small garrison squad, several other enemies who were not in the fortifications also lay down on the spot.

The impact of the shells on the bridge is limited, so they must be aimed at the people. Mr. Dong wants to eliminate the people first and then occupy or dispose of them.

Save your life first, and don’t let it fall on your head.

However, to their surprise, while they were praying, a dark shadow rushed onto the bridge deck at an extremely fast speed. A huge explosion sounded, and bricks and stones flew everywhere. This 250kg explosive shell has a thin shell and a large filling. The huge shock wave instantly collapsed a section of the bridge deck.

Before the enemy could react, the second bomb passed through the hole in the broken bridge deck and plunged into the water, causing huge waves.

The comrades on the mountain who were observing with binoculars and projectors were stunned.

"Accurate! So accurate!"

"It's about the same as our sharpshooters' two shots and one hole."
