Chapter 273 Taking Down the Japanese Bridge
After receiving the intelligence, Bai Luo immediately led Qin Lan, Sha Niu, and Sha Xiong out of the woods.
According to Zhang Qing's intelligence, the Japanese soldiers are already preparing to set off, and he needs to hurry up and choose an ambush location.
After leaving the woods, Bai Luo took out the cat-themed car, sat in the back seat, and lay on the bear's leather, pondering where to set up the attack location.
After all, it was a Japanese Class A division with nearly 3 men, so the troops were bound to be very long.
It was quite difficult to inflict large-scale casualties on the Japanese soldiers in one go.
Bai Luo originally intended to lay a large number of bombs on the roads of the Japanese army in Lai'er City beforehand, but he found that there were too many routes and he could not guess which road the Japanese army would take.
It's not practical to cover it all up; there's not enough time.
There are three roads leading from the fortress to Ershi, and these three roads have 10 forks. Of these, 7 forks also lead to Ershi. If there were only one road, Bai Luo wouldn't need any intelligence. He could just pave the entire road with explosives and guarantee the Japanese a quick and easy victory.
According to the markings on the map, the road is about 110 kilometers long. Bai Luo had carefully studied the map and found that there were three locations along the marching route chosen by the Japanese soldiers that were suitable for an ambush.
The most suitable place for an ambush is the middle of this road, because it is not only the farthest from Er City and the fortress, but also not far from the two ambush points, which can be fully covered by Bai Luo's artillery range.
One of the two ambush sites was a large valley, and the other was a forest divided into two parts by a dirt road built by the Japanese. Between the two sites was a wasteland, about 10 kilometers long and 5 kilometers wide.
The location was good, but the downside was that it was difficult to kill a large number of Japanese soldiers. As long as the Japanese soldiers spread out in formation on the wasteland when Bailu was bombarded, the power of Bailu's heavy artillery array was greatly reduced.
The third ambush point was a bridge less than 15 kilometers from the north gate of Ershi City.
This bridge is relatively close to Ershi, and the road south of the bridge is relatively smooth. Once fighting breaks out, the Japanese mechanized units and aircraft in Ershi can quickly provide support.
However, this bridge is also the only way to reach Erdos City.
While Bai Luo was still pondering where to intercept the Japanese Fourth Division,
Silly Girl, who was driving the cat car, stepped on the brake and turned to look at Bai Luo, who was lying on the belly of Silly Bear in the back seat.
"Xiao Luo, we've arrived near the bridge."
Upon hearing the silly girl's call, Bai Luo immediately snapped out of his reverie.
He glanced around and then quickly jumped out of the car.
After putting the cat-shaped car back into his personal space, Bai Luo led the two people and the bear to the riverbank 500 meters away from the bridge to examine the bridge in the distance.
This bridge was newly built by the Japanese, and it is made entirely of concrete, making it very sturdy.
The bridge is over 80 meters long and 20 meters wide, with a total of 4 piers.
There was a Japanese pillbox on each side of the bridge. The pillbox had four floors, with the top floor being open to the public. Each pillbox had more than 20 Japanese soldiers, about a squad, to guard the bridge. Moreover, the bridge was not for civilians to use; people who wanted to cross it had to take a detour to a place 1 kilometer away.
Bai Luo must take this bridge; the prerequisite now is to eliminate the Japanese soldiers in the bunkers on both sides of the bridge.
This was quite easy for Bai Luo and the others.
Bai Luo first returned to the main road and cut the Japanese soldiers' telephone lines.
To prevent the Japanese soldiers from calling for reinforcements, he immediately turned back to Sha Niu and Qin Lan and said...
"Silly girl, you cover Qin Lan as she takes care of the Japanese on this side, while Silly Bear and I take care of the Japanese on the other side. Remember to keep a low profile."
"it is good."
Silly Girl responded and followed Qin Lan to the Japanese bunker north of the bridge.
After all, Qin Lan's marksmanship can only be described as terrible.
Let the silly girl cover for Qin Lan; one at a distance and the other at close range is just right.
Bai Luo then led Sha Xiong back to the previous spot. Since it was broad daylight, if anyone crossed the ice, the Japanese soldiers in the bridgehead bunker would easily spot them.
So Bai Luo simply hooked himself to the side of the silly bear, letting the bear carry him across the ice.
They used the bear's large, fat body to block the Japanese soldiers' line of sight.
When Silly Bear led Bai Luo less than 20 meters onto the ice, the Japanese soldiers on the top floor of the bunker north of the bridge spotted Silly Bear.
"Captain Qingtian, come up here quickly! It looks like something is moving on the river."
At this moment, the Japanese soldiers on the top floor of the bunker north of the bridge spotted Sha Xiong and immediately shouted down towards the area below.
"Nani?"
Aotajima, who was catching up on sleep on the third floor of the bunker, immediately sat up from her cot, picked up the binoculars that were placed on the ground, and quickly climbed to the top floor.
He looked in the direction his subordinate was pointing.
The next moment, a large black bear walking on the ice appeared in Aotajima Niao's line of sight as she held up her binoculars.
After seeing clearly that what was on the ice was a large black bear, Aotajima Niao put down her binoculars and cursed at the Japanese soldiers next to her.
"Baka! That's a black bear, you idiot!"
After saying that, he shoved the binoculars in his hand into the hands of the Japanese soldier next to him.
"Look carefully before you call me next time."
After saying that, Aotajima walked away without looking back.
Meanwhile, the Japanese soldier next to him, after descending three floors of Qingtian Island, also raised his binoculars to observe the bear. Upon confirming that it was indeed a black bear, the Japanese soldier cursed under his breath.
Let's continue observing other places.
"Xiao Luo, we're in position."
Bai Luo, who had just come ashore, heard the silly girl's question through his earpiece.
"Okay, wait two minutes, I just got to the other side."
After saying that, Bai Luo led Sha Xiong towards the Japanese pillbox.
"I've arrived. Let's get started."
No sooner had Bai Luo given the order than the Japanese observation posts on the top floors of the bunkers north and south of the bridge had their heads blown off by Sha Niu.
Lying on the third floor north of the bridge, Aotajima heard the thud coming from the top floor and couldn't help but curse under her breath that this idiot could fall down even in a bunker.
Ignoring it, Aotajima turned around and continued sleeping, but as soon as she turned around, she saw a figure coming up from the bottom of the stairs.
Aotajima Nyo didn't even see the person's face clearly before she started cursing.
"Who let you leave without permission... um."
Before Aotajima could finish speaking, she felt a sharp pain in her chest and let out a muffled groan. She looked down at her chest and saw a dagger stuck in it.
Then she felt all her strength drain away, and collapsed onto the cot, as if her life was rapidly slipping away. Aotajima Nao struggled to turn her head to look at the person who attacked her.
But his life was already on a countdown; he could only vaguely see a dark figure snap the neck of one of his men.
The next moment, Aotajima felt everything go black before her eyes, and she fell silent, ending her sinful life.
"My child, I've got it sorted out."
Bai Luo threw the Japanese soldier whose neck he had snapped to the ground and pressed the walkie-talkie on his chest.
"I've got this sorted out, you guys can come over now."
One minute later, Qin Lan and Sha Niu arrived from the south side of the bridge.
Bai Luo then took out a rope from his spatial storage, tied it to the bridge railing, and quickly descended to the bridge pier to place the emulsion explosives.
To ensure absolute safety, Bai Luo also placed a large amount of C4 explosives in the gaps between the bridge piers and the bridge deck.
After everything was ready, Bai Luo had Qin Lan stay there and gave her the detonator. Then he took Sha Xiong and Sha Niu to the next ambush point.
