Chapter 1077： Night

Chapter 1077 Night Attack (2)

"You cowards, what are you doing here? Don't hurry up and get on the boat to rescue the people who fell into the water!" Just as a group of Russian engineers was preparing to untie the wooden boat next to the pontoon to repair the pontoon, one face had a knife scar The big man walked over in two steps and slapped one of the Russian soldiers aside. Then some companions behind him got on the boat, unwound the rope and rowed towards the center of the river.

"What are you doing!" Chabayev stepped forward to argue with the opponent, and before he could finish a sentence, a man next to the big man immediately pushed him to the ground, just when Chabayev was about to struggle. , A string of bullets flew almost close to the scalp, making him immediately calm down.

"Brother, my comrades fell into the water. I need to rescue them. I borrow a boat. Thank you. I pay for his disrespect." With that, the guy who had just saved his life stuffed a pocket watch into Chaba Yev's hands.

"Uh, okay, by the way, help rescue the people who fell into the water on the stone bridge." Chabayev was completely confused by the plot that was flipped several times. He personally watched a bunch of people carrying their own things and merchant ships, and then rowed towards the center of the river.

"It seems that there is something on the river." Miles' deputy said, pointing to the river.

"Don't worry about him, we can't hit them, first knock out those searchlights, these things make me uncomfortable." Miles glanced at the small boats on the river, and then ordered.

The pontoon bridge is no more than 500 meters away from the target bridge, and Lieutenant Wright, who has entered the ship, is no more than 300 meters away from the bridge pier after boarding. This distance is very close for the trekking personnel, regardless of whether it is the soldiers on the pontoon or the stone bridge. I didn't pay attention to these small boats, especially the Russian engineers' signs smeared on the boats. After a searchlight swept a circle, no one noticed these little guys again.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lieutenant Wright fixed the sealed explosive and fuze he had brought, and then jumped into the water first. 15 German soldiers swam towards the distant stone bridge with more than 200 kilograms of explosives. They chose a shaded area near the shore, where searchlights rarely visit, and the sound of nearby machine guns is enough to cover the sound of paddling.

"What are we doing now?" a German soldier in disguise asked.

"Behave, at least we can't be idle." Scarface thought for a while, then looked at the group of Russian engineers on the other side of the river who doubted him.

After more than 10 minutes, Lieutenant Wright and his men finally touched the pier. This speed was faster than they expected, because just shortly after they were launched, the dive of two K-4N bombers directly killed the two searchlights and the counter. In a machine gun bunker, the red-eyed Russians began to focus all firearms and even heard hundreds of rifles shooting into the air.

Now, the river surface is completely dark, which greatly facilitated Lieutenant Wright’s actions. After fixing a dozen packs of explosives on the support points of the two piers, and once again determined that the timing fuze could work properly, the Lieutenant waved his hand to indicate that everyone could Retreated.

Half an hour later, when Lieutenant Miles and his crew were finally ready to retreat after finishing all the ammunition, a violent explosion sounded from the water! Two soaring fire lights instantly illuminate the area several hundred meters in radius. A four-wheeled carriage on the bridge was thrown directly into the air for more than 100 meters, and was blown apart during the ascent.

Then, the two bridge piers collapsed directly, and the entire bridge deck broke into several sections! Tons of rocks, wood and steel plunged into the water, producing a loud noise like thunder.

"We didn't bring a bomb weighing more than 200KG?" Captain Myers looked at the stone bridge in the distance, half of which was blown up, and said in surprise.

"Perhaps a bomb fell on the bridge and detonated the Russian ammunition car on the bridge?" said the partner in the back seat.

"During our bombing mission, the target bridge accidentally collapsed. It should have been destroyed by a large amount of explosives, but it shouldn’t have been done by us, because we don’t have so many bombs, and judging from the destruction, it should be The supporting part of the bridge pier was blown up.” Lieutenant Miles wrote in the report after the war.

And Lieutenant Wright, who had arranged explosives, also looked at the broken bridge in the distance with an incredible face. "This is not right! It should take another ten minutes to explode!" The ensign looked at his watch and said.

"Follow him, anyway, our mission is completed!" Scarface patted the ensign on the shoulder and signaled the latter to leave quickly. Before the Russians could react, the group entered the night. After the goal was achieved, the Night Owl team naturally wouldn't delay too much time, and immediately pulled away. It's only 2 o'clock in the morning, and they still have half a night to move to find a fairly safe place.

"The bombing of the Constantine Bridge is definitely a nightmare for us, because it is one of the important passages for our Eighth Army to retreat to the rear. Although we can assume that the temporary floating bridge solves the personnel problem, the fragile wooden floating bridge is Neither the firmness nor the passing ability can compare with the Constantin Bridge. The former is easily destroyed under the attack of the Luftwaffe, and even the incendiary bomb of a large-caliber machine gun can cause huge damage to the bridge deck, and the Germans like to use it. The incendiary bomb is the natural enemy of the wooden pontoon. As long as one hit, a wooden bridge several hundred meters long may be completely burnt and the hastily built wooden bridge cannot pass the weight more than 4 Tons of artillery."

"During this night attack, the Germans and ground forces cooperated with the Air Force. They carried machine guns and mortars. The number was about 100. We began to think that this was just a different phenomenon. However, as time went on, we Military depots, supply depots, and transportation hubs have all been attacked. Although we have captured some German infiltration teams, the losses they have caused us are far greater than their efforts. This new method of combat deserves our attention." This incident even alarmed Alekseyev, the commander-in-chief of the Russian Southeast Front Army. After being shocked by the bombing of a critical bridge, the Russian general wrote in his diary.

A team of night owls continued to perform sabotage and harassment tasks behind enemy lines. After the Air Force carried out a night bombing, it did not continue to expand the scale of the night attack, on the one hand because the effect of the night attack was really average. There are still some technical problems to be solved. On the other hand, the Luftwaffe needs to accumulate strength to prepare for the upcoming war. Just as the Russians were so overwhelmed by the sabotage team behind them, Mackensen's iron fist finally broke down!
