Chapter 1076 Night Attack 1
"Our plan is this. Group A is responsible for pretending to attack the No. 1 pontoon, and then Group B, led by the inside line, blends into the convoy waiting to cross the river. Then we wait for the opportunity to approach the river bank. The people carrying the explosives are ready to swim across, and the explosives and timers are The detector is fixed on the bridge pier. Our scouts have just checked that there are no searchlights in the direction of the river, and their strong light sources are concentrated on the ground. Our operation will start in half an hour. If there are no objections, everyone is ready to start Let’s do it,” Captain Smerton said.
After some investigation, Captain Smelden had a general understanding of the deployment of the Russian army. They were mainly to defend against attacks from the shore and in the air. The defense on the water surface was very loose. After all, it was more than 500 meters away from the stone bridge. It is a pontoon bridge. If anyone attacks the stone bridge through the waterway, the Russian personnel waiting on both sides to cross the river will definitely find it.
There is almost no possibility of a breakthrough on land, but if you create chaos, approach the merging with internal support, and then swim close to the stone bridge in the chaos, you still have a chance. For this reason, Simaiden also prepared for the commando team. A special inflatable raft is built to hold waterproofly packaged explosives and detonating devices. The average density of this raft after adding items is similar to that of water. The personnel performing the task only need to push it in the water. All these things were placed in the mezzanine of a carriage, and the members of Group B were to pretend to be a group of engineering troops from the defeated Russian 3rd Siberian Army.
"Well, okay, let's prepare for action. We can operate for up to 45 minutes. After the time is up, no matter what the result is, we will immediately choose to evacuate to the predetermined location." The captain emphasized at the end. However, at this moment, a fire suddenly appeared in the night in the distance!
"Hold the grass! The ammunition transported by the Russians exploded?!" an officer said, looking at the smoke columns and firelight rising near the river bank in the distance.
"No, it's the Air Force! Those lunatics actually launched an attack at night!" Captain Miles said, pointing to the tracer bullets falling from the sky in the distance. The tracer bullets fired by dozens of machine guns on the ground formed a line of fire, which could be seen by Miles and others who were at a certain distance from the battlefield. Later, the searchlights erected by the Russians in the air also proved this.
Intensive machine gun blasts resounded through the sky, and beams of light kept swaying in the sky. However, the level of air defense in this era was as unreliable as the Luftwaffe's night bombing accuracy... In the eyes of some people, this is just a way to show others that we are fighting back... That's all.
"Hold the grass! They are starting to attack the No. 1 pontoon!" At this time, several K-4 bombers flying over at low altitude gradually revealed their blurry figures under the firelight on the ground. When they approached the pontoon from the air, the leading aircraft dropped a flare!
Three K-4N bombers entered the battlefield one after another. The first plane flew over 300 meters in the air and dropped three illumination bombs as it approached the pontoon.
These strange-looking flares open their parachutes when they fall, like a torch floating in the air, illuminating the area below like daylight. These flares can float in the air for several minutes, providing illumination for subsequent attack aircraft.
The second bomber dropped several rounds of napalm and high-explosive bombs. One bomb landed on the shore, blowing a carriage and several soldiers beside it directly into the sky. An incendiary bomb landed in the water. A fire was lit on the water. The only reliable incendiary bomb affected the pontoon next to it, and a fire ignited from the pontoon.
The third bomber fired wildly at the ground with four 12.7MM machine guns. A large number of bullets were poured into a place where there was no one... There is no way, the effect of night attacks is quite deceptive.
"Boss, what should we do?" Scarface pushed Captain Smerden next to him.
"Okay, those Air Force guys did us a favor. Then, according to the plan, Group A will be responsible for the attack, and Group B will go up to help them repair the pontoon..." The captain was also unambiguous and decided to prepare for today. Add some fire to an already chaotic night!
The officers and soldiers who can be selected into the Night Owl are of extremely high quality, and they absolutely execute orders. Several soldiers quickly unloaded the 82MM mortar from the carriage. And began to measure the distance, while the machine gun team next to it also set up the MG machine gun. And they were scattered next to the mortar team. In terms of range, these 82MM mortars were the only weapons that directly reached the pontoon bridge, while the infantry deployed skirmishers on the outside. Group B, who was responsible for carrying out the blasting mission, disappeared into the night.
"Let me go, are there our people on the ground? This script is wrong. Before we came out, they didn't say that anyone would cooperate with our actions!" Looking at the sudden flash of fire and the rising smoke column near the No. 1 pontoon. Captain Myers, who was performing a bombing mission in the air, immediately pulled out the mission book that had been thrown aside. In the dim light, he read it word by word. Make sure there are no words cooperation and friendly forces in it...
"Head, what should we do if the Blue and Red Teams ask us?" the radio operator in the back seat asked, putting down the headset in his hand. According to the original plan, this group of K-4N bombers could leave after dropping their bombs. But now, it seems that there are colleagues on the ground who don't know how to get here. If this goes away, I'm afraid it won't be appropriate...
Let’s not talk about the Night Owl Squadron, which looked exhausted and began to cooperate with each other in a daze, and the Night Bomber Unit, which was performing a bombing mission. The Russian troops on the ground fell directly into chaos. There were many Russian troops. Because of the rampant Bavarian Air Force, the Russian logistics forces had to work overtime. But no matter how many people there are, there are not many combat troops. Although there are some troops guarding the bridge, they are currently conducting air defense operations. Except for a small number of military police, there are no combat troops beside the pontoon. The logistics troops lack equipment and cannot even equip two people with a gun! Caught off guard, the ground exploded!
Mortar shells fell from time to time among the people waiting to pass by the pontoon bridge, causing a bloody storm! A cannonball landed on the bridge, blowing the wooden pontoon, which was not wide, into two ends. A squad of Russian soldiers was torn into pieces, and two figures of people fell into the river. K-4N bombers swooped down from the sky, with the help of flares and searchlights, wildly strafing the bridge deck and nearby crowds. The fiery red bullets jumped in the night, bringing death and destruction.
