If you don't have a respirator, you can only make one, and reeds are the best tool. By the time Zhou Weiguo gets the four reeds used for breathing, nearly forty minutes have passed.
On the opposite side, the Japanese army also used this time to move a large section of the bridge forward.
"Captain, should we go over?" Hu Yong turned his head and asked from the front.
Zhou Weiguo could understand what Hu Yong meant. It was always more than 500 meters away from here. He needed to use the cover of water flow and weeds to get over slowly, which took time.
If we had waited for the Japanese army to set out in the past, I am afraid that the Japanese army would have had to send a lot of troops, and then our actions would not be very meaningful.
"Okay, let's set off. When the time passes, regardless of whether the Japanese army has already set off, we have to take action. We will pull the lead and swim downstream quickly for a distance, and then hide on the shore."
As Zhou Weiguo spoke, he threw a large piece of weeds into the river. Then the two of them hid in the weeds and reeds and moved forward little by little with the explosives in hand.
The Japanese army seemed to be in a hurry to cross the river. The two men had only walked halfway, and the forward troops were already crossing the river.
This was also what Nakamura Shoji meant. He had been blocked here for nearly a day, so after the pontoon bridge was built, he ordered the troops to cross the river.
Just because heavy weapons couldn't get through, he could only temporarily distribute ammunition and other items to the soldiers, and collect them after they passed, which delayed a little time.
Both sides were walking, waiting for Zhou Weiguo to arrive at the pontoon and pull the lead wire away and leave with the weeds. The Japanese army had already passed nearly a squadron of troops.
No one noticed what was underneath this pile of weeds.
On the shore, Nakamura Masairo, who was holding the command knife with both hands, grinned widely and showed his big yellow teeth.
He was a little proud. After passing here, there would be rivers in the next place, but they couldn't be found so wide. Even if the enemy blew them up, he could still swim across them.
When the pontoon bridge exploded, Nakamura Shoji was thinking about how his army would defeat the enemy. He didn't even react, and the pontoon bridge just exploded.
Along with the pontoon bridge that was bombed, there were also soldiers crossing the river. Not to mention the soldiers at the location of the explosion, which was at the center of the explosion, the river water turned blood red on the spot. The soldiers on other sections did not end well either.
Without the support point, the current will instantly collapse the pontoon bridge.
Because the soldiers were carrying twice as much stuff as usual, their weight suddenly increased. After falling into the water, they didn't even have a chance to struggle and flop, and they sank under the water.
"There is an enemy attack. Please protect your Excellency, Captain, and evacuate." The adjutant's heart-rending shout made Nakade Shoji look at the pontoon in a daze with a gloomy face.
He couldn't figure out how this bridge was blown up. He didn't hear the sound of shelling just now.
In a daze, I was pulled by the guards from three levels inside and three outside, and entered a relatively safe, small mound with a recess.
Nakamura Shoji, who was squatting inside, kept thinking about where his enemy started.
He couldn't figure it out, and finally looked at the adjutant: "They...where on earth did they pass by."
The adjutant had to start thinking about this issue earlier than Nakamura Shoji. Knowing the captain's habits, he had to find a reasonable answer before he asked. Otherwise, if the other party blew up the pontoon again, the captain's big ears would be wrong.
I will give it to myself politely.
"Your Excellency, Captain, I'm afraid the enemy came from the water."
Under water?
Don't they need to breathe?
Damn it, Nakamura Shoji suddenly thought of something. Not long ago, a large piece of weeds mixed with reeds floated over. At that time, he just thought that someone upstream cut down the reeds and threw them away.
Now it seems that this is the enemy.
"Bagaya road." Nakamura Masaji's face turned red. He once again let the local government plot against him.
Upon seeing this, the adjutant cautiously took a step forward and looked at Nakamura Shoji's dark and crimson face: "Your Excellency, Captain, do we need to pursue him?"
Pursuit?
What a crap chase. It has been at least five or six minutes since the explosion. The opponent is not an idiot and will wait for you. Maybe he has climbed up from nowhere and ran away, and he will still wait.
You go and catch it.
"That's stupid." Nakamura Shoji never let go of the adjutant. He stood up and slapped the adjutant on the face and pointed to the river. "If you don't repair the pontoon bridge quickly, do you think I should go there myself?"
I'm tired, I'm really tired. I didn't see any enemies all the way here. I've been attacked twice by the enemy, and each time the losses were greater.
And...and...and the opponent's point of attack every time is the pontoon bridge, which is to prevent him from crossing the river.
I have been a soldier for so many years, and I have been a commander for so many years, and yet... I have never felt so aggrieved.
What a damn unlucky person.
Nakamura Shoji was cursing, but Hu Yong and Zhou Weiguo ran to where Tian Jing and Chen Qi were, all wet.
I can't do it without running.
Cold. Even though it was already spring, it was still so cold that it made people’s bones numb when they got up from the water. If it wasn’t good, both of them were worried that they would suffer from cold cramps.
After running all the way to the location, Tian Jing and Chen Qi had already prepared spare clothes. When the two came over, they started to take off their clothes in a hurry.
Even after I changed my clothes, my body still felt a little like it wasn't my own.
After being exposed to the sun for a while, Zhou Weiguo finally let out a breath.
Tian Jing took the can from the side, opened it, handed it to Zhou Weiguo, sat next to him and asked in a low voice, "Next, should we leave too."
Having already attacked this regiment twice, the opponent must be fully prepared and taking action. Then there will really be a problem.
While Zhou Weiguo was chewing the can, he was thinking about what Tian Jing said and whether it was time to leave.
He didn't speak, but stuffed the can into his mouth one spoonful at a time. Hu Yong watched him finish eating and took out a cigarette and handed it to him.
He had followed Zhou Weiguo for too long. When Zhou Weiguo was the battalion commander, he was the company commander. Then he fought all the way in Shanghai for three months, and then fought with the Japanese army in Jinling. When he was thinking about something, he would definitely smoke.
Hu Yong had cigarettes in his hand. Xiao Ya bought them specially and left them with him when he left. Xiao Ya knew that Zhou Weiguo smoked, so on the night she left, she found Hu Yong and gave him a few cigarettes.
Look at it, don't give it all at once.
Hu Yong followed the order faithfully and did not bother Zhou Weiguo. He bought it all by himself. He was just a temporary keeper.
"Captain, let's... we won't bother others anymore." Hu Yong ordered Zhou Weiguo and asked with a smile, opening his mouth and showing his big white teeth.
