Chapter 1516 Blow up the bridge! Blow up the bridge!
Chapter 1516 Blow up the bridge! Blow up the bridge!
The sound of an airplane roared in the sky to the west.
The fleeing people cried out in panic:
"It's a Japanese plane."
"The bridge is definitely going to be blown up."
Several Japanese planes with plaster flags flew over Huitong Bridge.
Strangely, the planes neither strafed nor dropped bombs.
As dusk falls, it becomes increasingly suitable for the Japanese soldiers in plain clothes to hide their weapons and move secretly.
Xiang Chu was extremely anxious, the current situation was extremely urgent.
The people who were frightened by the Japanese planes crowded around on the bridge. The suspension bridge was shaking violently under the pressure. Five or six people were actually shaken into the turbulent Nujiang River, and there were screams of surprise.
Liu Zhengxiong ran up to the tower and pointed at the bridge pier below and said:
"Boss! Commander Zhang Zuwu of the Engineering Battalion has already led his men to place the explosives."
Xiang Chu nodded and said, "Yes! Zhang Zuwu is proficient in blasting. This is a very good location. The explosives can be used to their maximum effect."
Liu Zhengxiong asked anxiously, "When should we blow up the bridge? Even a minute later, we could have saved hundreds of people."
Xiang Chu gritted his teeth and said, "Tell Zhang Zuwu to blow it up immediately!"
Liu Zhengxiong sighed and said, "Alright! But the bridge is packed with people and cars. If we blow it up now, many people will definitely die."
Xiang Chu said bitterly: "That truck driving in the wrong direction is too abominable. If the traffic was smooth, many more people could have been saved."
Liu Zhengxiong pointed at the bridge and said, "Look! The owner of that car is actually arguing with the military police."
Indeed, the owner of the car driving against traffic westward got out of the car and started arguing loudly with the military police in a very arrogant manner.
At this time, Ma Fugui rushed up to the watchtower and reported loudly:
"Boss! Xiao Qi called and said that the Doihara regiment is disguised as civilians and is almost at Huitong Bridge."
Xiang Chu exclaimed in surprise, "You're here so fast! Old Liu! Hurry up and act!"
"Yes!"
Liu Zhengxiong hurriedly took the order and ran down the stairs.
Xiang Chu hurriedly picked up the telescope to observe and found that at the bend of Nujiang River in the west, more and more people were fleeing, including many young and middle-aged people.
He saw Xiao Qi, who was carrying a radio on his back, standing by the roadside in the woods, with a woman holding a gun to his head. He thought to himself:
"It's over! Xiao Qi sent me a telegram, and Doihara Suzuko found it."
Xiang Chu said anxiously: "Xiao Liu! Your brother is in danger, quickly get me a sniper rifle."
"Ah! Yes!"
Xiaoliu hurriedly took the order and ran down the stairs.
West of Huitong Bridge, under the woods beside the road.
Doihara Suzuko was pointing the pistol in her sleeve at Xiao Qi and sneered, "Yamada Motoo! Our army is about to reach Huitong Bridge. Who are you sending a telegram to?"
Xiao Qi said calmly, "Miss Lingzi! I'm reporting to headquarters that the Doihara Regiment has successfully reached Huitong Bridge and is about to capture it."
Doihara Suzuko looked at the frequency on the radio and shook her head. "No! I can send messages, but the frequency knob isn't set to the headquarters. Tell me the truth! Are you a Chinese spy?"
Xiao Qi didn't expect that she was so fat and so meticulous, so she shook her head and said, "No!"
Doihara Suzuko held the gun in her sleeve to his head and sneered:
"Shan Tu Ben Xiong! I'll give you 30 seconds at most, so confess quickly."
Xiao Qi was worried that Xiang Chu had not received the telegram he had just sent, so he decided to sacrifice his life for his country and let the gunshots alert the defenders at the bridgehead.
He raised his head, looked into Doihara Suzuko's eyes, and a smile appeared on his face.
Doihara Suzuko was mesmerized by his handsome face and was at a loss for a moment.
At this time, a Japanese soldier walked up to Doihara Suzuko and whispered:
"Captain! The wing commander said the charge will begin in ten minutes."
Doihara Suzuko asked, "Where is the regimental commander?"
The Japanese soldier whispered, "It's only a hundred meters away from the bridgehead."
It is located about 100 meters west of Huitong Bridge.
A greasy uncle dressed in Jingpo clothing had a smile on his face.
The dawn of victory was just around the corner, and it was difficult for him to control his unhappiness.
Gao Qiao Xiaozheng poked him and whispered:
"Fat pig! Don't show your true colors."
Doihara Kan'er glared at him and mouthed a scolding:
"You big fool! Don't talk."
At this time, He Peng's convoy slowly moved over.
It took them a long time to move more than a hundred meters.
He Peng was very angry and pointed at Doihara Xianer in front of the car and yelled:
"Fatty! Get out of this general's way!"
Doihara Kan'er suddenly became filled with evil and had the idea of stealing the car.
If you drive your car across the bridge, it will be fast and safe.
He decided to play the game of "touching the car" and deliberately bumped the front of the car, then lay on the ground and started throwing a tantrum:
"Hurry up! Someone's been hit by a soldier's car."
"Hoo!"
Hundreds of Japanese soldiers dressed in ethnic minority costumes rushed forward and surrounded He Peng's convoy.
When He Peng saw so many people, he quickly rolled up the window and told the driver:
"Quick! Push through with all your might."
"Yes!"
The driver hurriedly took the order and stepped on the accelerator.
Unexpectedly, the empty truck was lifted up by the people under the truck and turned sideways on the ground.
The people around him laughed at He Peng, not knowing that a disaster was about to happen.
At this time, the Huitong Bridge was in a mess.
The car driving westward in the opposite direction was ordered to turn around by the gendarmerie captain.
The driver turned the steering wheel in anger and crashed into the car next to him, causing the car to stall.
The military police captain said anxiously, "Quick! Push this car into the river."
He Shupeng opened the door and got out of the car, pointing at the military police captain and shouting:
"Captain! I'm the cousin of Commander He of the Xifeng Brigade. No one of you is allowed to push my car into the river."
The bridge was already a mess, and now it's even more chaotic. The suspension bridge is shaking, and if things go wrong, someone might fall into the river again.
Liu Zhengxiong, Zhang Zuwu and others squeezed over.
Zhang Zuwu loudly ordered:
"Leave him alone! Push the truck into the river."
He Shupeng threw himself on the front of the car and roared:
"No one is allowed to touch my car!"
Everyone rushed forward to pull him away, and together they pushed the truck into the river.
He Shupeng pulled out the pistol from his waist and roared:
"I'll fight you!"
The situation is critical and people are highly nervous.
He dared to draw his gun, and the military police shot him, turning him into a sieve.
There were deaths at the scene, and people were crowding the bridge like crazy.
The gendarmes hurriedly fired warning shots into the air.
"Bang!"
Xiang Chu pulled the trigger in time and shot Doihara Suzuko in the back of the head.
Xiao Qi was overjoyed, turned around and rushed into the woods, shooting at the nearby Japanese soldiers.
The people fleeing west of Huitong Bridge were so frightened that they shouted loudly:
"Devils! The devils are coming."
Doihara Kenji pulled out a pistol from his arms and roared:
"Baga! We've been discovered by the Chinese. They're stealing our cars and the bridge!"
"kill!"
The Japanese soldiers roared and fired wildly in all directions.
He Peng and other soldiers and civilians were shot and fell in a pool of blood.
Takahashi Xiaozheng shouted loudly: "Quick! Follow me to seize the bridge."
"Seize the bridge!"
The Japanese soldiers roared and rushed towards Huitong Bridge while fighting.
Doihara Xianer was so angry that he roared: "Baka! They should have taken the car first."
However, no one listened to him and they all rushed towards Huitong Bridge.
"Boom! Boom!"
Xiang Chu's sniper bullets hit the target every time, killing the Japanese soldiers rushing in front.
The Japanese soldiers were fearless and continued to attack and charge towards Huitong Bridge.
On the Qiaodong Highway, the Japanese plainclothes soldiers who had crossed the bridge also drew their weapons, turned around and launched a death charge towards the Huitong Bridge.
Gan Rong and others were well prepared and engaged in a fierce battle with them.
The sounds of gunfire, fighting, and screams echoed on both sides of the Nujiang River.
Xiang Chu was so anxious that he shouted: "Blow up the bridge! Blow up the bridge quickly!"
Zhang Zuwu rushed to the fuse without hesitation and lit it.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, a streak of pale blue sparks hissed, like a wriggling little green snake, creeping slowly towards the bridge piers...
