Chapter 297 Blowing up the Bridge
Chapter 297 Blowing up the Bridge
Li Dawei and Ding Haitao did not stay in the New Independent Brigade for dinner. They returned directly to their temporary base.
After seeing Li and Ding off, Liang Jiahe immediately looked at the two large suitcases like a curious baby.
Ye Minghao couldn't help but say:
"Lao Liang, look at your current state. It's just two boxes of money, is it that serious?"
Liang Jiahe said with a playful smile:
"Commander, if both boxes are full of money, would that be too much?"
Ye Minghao spread his hands with a helpless expression.
"You can watch it if you want. After you've watched it, guard the money tonight and protect the two telecom operators."
"Brigade Commander, didn't we agree that you would stay in the rear and I would command the front lines?"
Ye Minghao waved his hand and said:
"Lao Liang, I didn't agree. That was what you said."
Liang Jiahe suddenly felt that his brigade commander was quite a rogue, but he had no way to deal with him.
"brigadier?"
"Lao Liang, you are also an old party member. The political commissar is responsible for the discipline and life of the army, and the brigade commander is responsible for military operations.
Every unit in our party is like this; it can’t be that the new independent brigade changes.”
Liang Jiahe was a little speechless. He was a little worried that the brigade commander lacked experience in commanding the army.
"Brigade Commander, the battlefield is..."
"You're worried that I haven't seen bloody scenes, so let me tell you something: I killed someone eight years ago.
Besides, I can easily beat three or four of our brigade guards by myself."
Liang Jiahe knew that the brigade commander was not a boastful person, but he did not expect that the young brigade commander was also a kung fu master.
"Brigade Commander, how does your Kung Fu compare to Captains Li and Ding's?"
"I'm far behind them. They are both masters of dark energy and can easily dodge pistol bullets.
but……"
"But what?"
"Their kung fu is far inferior to that of my third brother."
Liang Jiahe thought for a moment and said:
"Brigade Commander, your third brother should be the leader of the special forces team, right?"
Ye Minghao nodded without denying it.
At this moment, Liangjiahe felt as if his mind had suddenly opened up.
Ye Minghao didn't want to continue this topic, and said quickly:
"Lao Liang, can you count how much money is in the box?"
Liang Jiahe smiled and said:
"Ok."
Half an hour later, Liangjiahe finished counting the money in the two large boxes.
He never dreamed that the two suitcases sent by Ding and Li would actually be full.
There were more than 400 million French francs, 165 large gold bars, 420 small gold bars, and some jewelry.
"Lao Liang, if nothing unexpected happens, Lao Wang will also receive this much money, maybe even more."
"Did your third brother ask them to give this to you?"
"Lao Liang, didn't you forget what they said about last night's harvest? My third brother didn't ask them to bring these."
Liang Jiahe scratched his head and said:
"Brigade Commander, I'm not very smart. Can you please tell me directly?"
Ye Minghao had no intention of hiding Liang Jiahe. Since everyone would be working together in the future, honesty was important.
"They sneaked into Zhucheng last night, killed some traitors and their lackeys, and took away the money from their homes."
Liang Jiahe showed an expression of disbelief.
"Are these traitors and lackeys in Zhucheng really rich?"
"Lao Liang, do you envy them?"
Liang Jiahe realized that there was something wrong with the tone of his statement just now.
"Commander, I was wrong."
"There's no one else, don't worry. If you encounter financial difficulties in the future, just tell me directly.
You know our party's discipline: we cannot take even a single needle or thread from the people."
"Brigade Commander, please rest assured. Lao Liang has been a party member for over ten years and will not do anything that violates party discipline."
Ye Minghao nodded. He believed in Liang Jiahe and what he said just now was just a casual remark.
What shocked Liangjiahe was the means and courage of the special forces team. They gave away so much money without blinking an eye.
He also said that Lao Wang would also receive so much money, no wonder the brigade commander could support the new independent brigade without making any money.
If the other units of the Eighth Route Army knew how the new independent brigade was treated, it would surely cause an uproar.
Fortunately, this money was not given by the party organization, but was obtained by their brigade commander alone, so it did not cause trouble for the leaders.
The Communist Party organization has always emphasized the strategy of the military and the people being one family and everyone being equal, and even the top leaders are no exception.
The new independent brigade now has good food and supplies, mainly to maintain its combat effectiveness.
The Eighth Route Army is still too weak and poor, and not even every soldier can have a Hanyang rifle.
……
After dark, Ding Haitao brought two special forces soldiers who had reached the middle level of Ming Jin to the upper reaches of the Huai River.
"Shi Tou, Xiao Qin, choose a location nearby as your shooting point.
I would follow the current to the bridge pier, and when I came back from the bridge, I would start shooting."
"Brother Ding, how about I go and place the high explosives?"
"No, you are the snipers tonight. I will choose two bridge piers to place high explosives."
Ding Haitao found a piece of wood nearby, and he would step on it to reach the bridge pier later.
Speaking of which, he was lucky enough to break through to the middle level of Dark Energy on the way to Zhucheng.
In the Chinese martial arts world, he is considered a good martial arts master, and dozens of ordinary people are the same to him.
Standing by the Huai River, Ding Haitao carefully observed the defenses at both ends of the bridge, which were indeed very tight.
There are bunkers built at both ends of the bridge, so it is unrealistic to place explosives from the bridge deck.
There are soldiers patrolling the bridge at all times, and there are searchlights in the bunkers at both ends shining onto the bridge.
At night, it is almost impossible for ships to get close to the bridge piers.
Ding Haitao was very familiar with the Japanese devils' bunker. There was at least one heavy machine gun inside the bunker.
The weather in May and June changes suddenly. There were suddenly lightning and thunder in the sky of Zhucheng.
For Ding Haitao, this was God helping them. The Japanese devils and the traitors who were doing evil would eventually perish on their own.
Less than ten minutes later, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Ding Haitao knew this was an opportunity, an opportunity to quickly approach the bridge pier.
He immediately threw the wood into the Huai River, then jumped onto the wood and started moving forward with his backpack on his back.
In less than a minute, Ding Haitao arrived under the bridge pier and gently swung out a three-hook with a rope.
After a while, he arrived under the railway bridge and quickly found a suitable place to place high explosives.
Place the first explosive charge, which consists of four high explosive charges.
Putting away the three grappling hooks, he began to move forward under the railway bridge, relying on his arms.
It took him about a minute to reach a connected bridge pier and gain his first experience.
He quickly found a suitable location to place the second explosive pack.
After placing the two explosive packs, he looked at Shitou and Xiao Qin on the river bank and gestured to them.
When the two saw Ding Haitao making gestures, they immediately responded with gestures, indicating that they could see the location of the bomb.
They were confident that they could hit the explosive pack with one shot.
After confirmation, Ding Haitao prepared to retreat. He walked along the bridge pier and came to the surface of the Huai River.
Without hesitation, he dived into the water.
In May and June, the water flow of the Huaihe River is relatively stable. If another month or two passes, the Huaihe River will rise.
Half an hour later, Ding Haitao had reunited with Shi Tou and Xiao Qin.
Just then, the three of them suddenly heard the train whistle.
"Brother Ding, are we going to shoot?"
"Shoot immediately. Don't waste time, otherwise it will affect the subsequent operations."
"What if it's an ordinary train?"
"I can't care so much."
At this moment, Ding Haitao and the other three heard the sound of a grenade exploding.
The operation of the new independent brigade has begun.
Ding Haitao immediately said loudly:
"Quick Shoot."
Xiao Qin and Shitou no longer hesitated and immediately opened fire, both of them hitting the target with one shot.
Then they heard two deafening explosions and the bridge began to collapse.
"Let's go, we still need to reunite with our brothers."
Ding Haitao and the other two had not walked twenty meters when they turned around and looked at the Huaihe River Bridge.
The two middle sections of the bridge have disappeared, as has the railway bridge and the highway bridge above it.
The power of high explosives is truly astonishing.
At this moment, the three of them saw the oncoming train fall directly into the Huai River.
"I hope this is a Japanese military train."
Xiao Qin muttered to himself as he walked.
After so many operations over the years, this was the first time they encountered such a situation, which caught them off guard.
"Xiao Qin, have you ever thought about it?
If the Japanese devils on the east side of the bridge come to support, the new independent brigade may have to sacrifice many brothers.
You should know that they are killing Japanese devils and traitors just like us."
Shi Tou thought for a moment and said:
“This is God’s will, now that the New Independent Brigade has started its operations, we have no time to wait.
If the explosion does not come over here for a long time, it may affect the effectiveness of their attack.
Warfare is ever-changing and the outcome is unpredictable."
Ding Haitao said:
"Shi Tou, what you said makes sense, let's go, we need to meet up with our brothers.
I delayed everyone from shooting."
The three of them stopped talking and only wanted to reunite with their brothers as soon as possible.
