The Burmese people really started to build bridges. They tied many bamboos together to form a bamboo raft, and then put these bamboo rafts into the water and connected them in series to form a large float, which they began to build near the shore. The wooden piles were used to form a point that could be supported, and ropes were used to forcibly fix the bamboo rafts, and iron wires and ropes were used to tighten them so that they could not be washed away with the current. In this way, a platform was formed on the already gentle Salween River. The pontoon bridge stretched little by little toward the east bank, and soon reached the center of the river. At this time, the Salween River was in its dry season, and the average width of the river was only two hundred meters. If they had no resistance, it would not take more than two hours to build the pontoon bridge.
Just when the Burmese army's pontoon bridge stretched across the center of the river, the National Salvation Army soldiers lurking in the bamboo forest on the east bank launched an attack first. Without artillery support, they could only use grenade launchers to throw The grenade replaced the role of the artillery shell. As the grenade fell into the river, the explosion sounded, and the water column rose into the sky.
In the observation post, Cao Jinya couldn't help but slapped his thigh fiercely, and cursed with some regret: "You can't hit it at such a close range. It's really a waste of grenades!"
Zhang Xian raised his head and gave him a bad look, knowing what he was scolding. Although it was close, there was still a distance of two to three hundred meters from the bamboo forest to the center of the river, and the grenade itself was a launcher that was manually adjusted. Its accuracy is simply not comparable to that of a mortar. Whether it can hit or not depends mostly on the operator's experience and luck.
Zhang Xian was also shaking his head. He couldn't help but ask: "Old Cao, how many of your more than 700 subordinates are veterans?"
Cao Jinya said truthfully: "Half of them are veterans who came from Yunnan; the other half are recruits recruited locally!"
Zhang Xian nodded and looked at the huge waves rising from time to time on the river. He could still hear the sound of explosions. He could only comfort Cao Jinya and said: "Don't worry, you can always blow up the enemy." From the pontoon!¡±
He had just finished speaking when, as expected, a grenade landed on the pontoon bridge that had been erected across the center of the river. The bamboo raft was immediately blown apart, flipped over in the water, and did not go in. When it appeared on the water again, Now that we have reached the downstream, three or four bamboo rafts were washed away by the water. The bamboo pontoon bridge that was long just now suddenly became a lot shorter. The Burmese army engineers who were operating on those bamboo rafts all fell into the water. Those who reacted quickly immediately caught a floating object and floated downstream with the water; many others who reacted slower disappeared directly into the rolling water. In the river.
"Good! Good fight!" Cao Jinya couldn't help but cheer loudly, still slapping his thigh as before.
"As soon as you hit them, you have to change positions immediately!" Zhang Xian warned Cao Jinya, and he asked with some worry: "Is this what you ordered them to do?"
Cao Jinya was stunned for a moment, then nodded immediately and said with a smile: "Haha, Sir, I have been fighting for so many years, so I still understand this common sense!"
Just as he was talking, the enemy's bridge-building engineers on the river stopped building the bridge. Immediately after the sparse artillery sound became intensive again, dozens and hundreds of artillery shells fell together on the area. In the bamboo forest where the grenade was thrown, in an instant, only broken branches and dry branches were left in the green bamboo forest, and the whole area fell down. Amidst the enemy's artillery mines, Zhang Xian still saw a few people from the forest through the telescope. The soldiers of the National Salvation Army who were running out were running towards the barbed wire fence on the side of the position, and some of them were obviously injured. They were not running fast, and some were running with a limp.
Zhang Xian¡¯s brows furrowed tightly once again, and he turned to ask Cao Jinya: ¡°Captain Cao, didn¡¯t you say you ordered them to change positions after a beating? Why are there still people in that bamboo forest?¡±
Cao Jinya¡¯s face turned red, and he could only guess: ¡°Maybe¡ maybe they haven¡¯t had time to change positions yet!¡±
Zhang Xian's face became solemn, and he told Cao Jinya in a very serious tone: "Old Cao, I don't know how you lead this regiment, but now I want to tell you something, if there is no iron discipline, our orders will be If we are going to discount, then we don¡¯t want to fight this battle, it¡¯s best to just disarm!¡±
Cao Jinya felt uncomfortable after being scolded by Zhang Xian. He hesitated for a long time and wanted to say something, but could not say anything.
"Old Cao, what we are guarding now is Meng Sa's gate. We are the bolts on this gate! If there is a problem with the bolts, then the gate will definitely be knocked open by the enemy!" Zhang Xian told with seriousness. From a few simple contacts with Cao Jinya, he realized that there was something wrong with the group. At this time, he could only raise his own warning.??, but I think since they have built the pontoon bridge, it is impossible for them to come across the bridge and build a bridgehead on the east side of the bridge. Haha, what if we secretly blow up their bridge in the dark, wouldn't they be in vain again? Did you fight? "
Cao Jinya was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "You mean, they won't care whether it's dark or not? Will they still fight?"
"Yes!" Zhang Xian nodded solemnly and analyzed: "I think today's first bridge is just a small passage. They will build more on this river early tomorrow morning. If the bridge comes, we can¡¯t control them from crossing the river at all!¡±
"Could they really launch a night battle?" Cao Jinya still couldn't believe it, and told him at the same time: "Sir, I think we were also surrounded by these Burmese troops on a small mountain peak. If they search overnight, they will be able to Catch us all, haha, but it was dark at that time, and they lay down on the ground and fell asleep peacefully, so we could all break out of the encirclement overnight! Later, we caught them Prisoners, these prisoners told us that they never fight at night!"
"I have hope in the same way!" Zhang Xian looked at him and replied.
However, the facts still went against everyone¡¯s wishes. Just after Zhang Xian finished speaking, there was a sound of gunfire in front of the position! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
