Chapter 1076： Night (1/2)
Chapter 1076 Night Assault (1)
”Our plan is like this. Group A is responsible for pretending to attack Floating Bridge No. 1, and then Group B is led by the inside line to get into the convoy waiting to cross the river. Then we wait for the opportunity to get closer to the river bank. The device is fixed on the bridge pier. Just now our investigators have checked, there is no searchlight in the direction of the river, and their strong light source is concentrated on the ground. Our action will start in half an hour. If there is no objection, everyone is ready to start Go ahead,” said Captain Smeden.
After some investigations, Captain Simideng had a general understanding of the deployment of the Russian army. They were more to defend against shore and air strikes. The defense against the surface direction was very loose. After all, it was more than 500 meters away from the stone bridge. It was a pontoon bridge. If anyone attacked the stone bridge through the waterway, the Russian personnel waiting to cross the river on both sides would definitely find it.
There is almost no possibility of a breakthrough on land, and if you create chaos and approach the confluence if there is internal response, and then swim across the chaos and approach the stone bridge, there is still a chance. For this reason, Smadden also prepares for the commando. A special inflatable raft is used to hold explosives and detonating devices after waterproof packaging. The average density of this raft after adding items is similar to that of water. The personnel performing the task only need to push it in the water. And all these things were placed in the mezzanine of a carriage, and the personnel of Group B were supposed to pretend to be a team of defeated Russian Siberian 3rd Army engineering units.
”Well, well, let's get ready to act. We act for 45 minutes at most. After the time is up, no matter what the result is, we immediately choose to withdraw to the predetermined location.” The captain emphasized at last. However, at this moment, a burst of fire suddenly appeared in the distant night!
”Grass the grass! The ammunition transported by the Russians was destroyed?!” An officer said, looking at the smoke and flames rising near the river bank in the distance.
”No, it's the Air Force! The lunatics actually launched an attack at night!” Captain Miles pointed to the tracer falling from the sky in the distance. Dozens of machine guns struck the ground with tracer bullets that formed a line of fire, which could be seen by Miles and others who were at a certain distance from the battlefield. Subsequently, the searchlights erected by the Russians against the air also proved this.
The sound of dense machine guns resounded across the sky, and beams of light continued to sway in the air. However, the air defense level of this era was as unreliable as the accuracy of the Luftwaffe's night bombing... In the eyes of some people, this is just showing others that we are fighting back... That's it.
”Grass the grass! They are starting to attack Pontoon One!” At this time, several K-4 bombers that flew over from a low altitude gradually showed their faint shadows under the light of the ground fire. When they approached the pontoon bridge from the air, the lead plane dropped a flare!
Three K-4N bombers entered the battlefield one by one. The first plane flew over 300 meters and dropped three flares when approaching the pontoon bridge. These strange-shaped flares opened the parachutes when they fell, just like A torch floating in the air will illuminate the bottom like daylight. These flares can float in the air for several minutes to provide illumination for subsequent attack aircraft.
The second bomber dropped several napalm and high-explosive bombs. One bomb landed on the shore, blasting a carriage and several soldiers nearby directly into the sky, and one incendiary bomb fell into the water. I lit a fire on the water. The only reliable incendiary bomb hit the floating bridge nearby, and a large fire ignited from the floating bridge.
