    After hearing Yang Zhen's order, Ye Chao nodded and said nothing.  He turned around and went to convey orders to others.  Yang Zhen turned around and said to Zhang Zixiong, who was carrying a walkie-talkie next to him: "Let Li Mingbo find out the deployment of the enemy troops on the line from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao as soon as possible. This place is less than ten miles away from the line from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao. Give us  Time is running out, let them hurry up.¡±

    Zhang Zixiong heard Yang Zhen's order and said quickly: "No. 1, Platoon Commander Li is now south of Sanxi. We have just figured out the situation there. It's just that there were enemies at the foot of the mountain just now. In order not to alarm the enemies at the foot of the mountain, you don't want to  No noise is allowed, so I haven¡¯t had time to report.¡±

    "The enemies currently on the front line between Sanxi and Caijiaqiao are the First Division of the Engineer Battalion of the 40th Division and a battalion of the 118th Regiment. Stationed on the front line at Caijiaqiao are the supply battalion of the 79th Division and one company each of mountain artillery and combat defense artillery. As for  The main force of the 40th Division is still carrying out clearing operations in the southeastern mountainous area of ????Jingxian County in accordance with the requirements of the 32nd Army Headquarters to search for every stone. "

    "That is to say, except for the Forty Division on the Sanxi front line, which has a battalion of troops guarding the division headquarters, at the request of the Thirty-second Army Headquarters, the Forty Division no longer has any large organized troops around it. He  The main force, as long as it still has combat effectiveness, is currently in the southeastern mountainous area of ????Jingxian County."

    "Deployed at the junction of the two divisions are a battalion of the 235th Regiment of the 79th Division and a company of the division's engineer battalion. To the north of Caijiaqiao, the 79th Division was stationed at Huojia Bridge in order to quickly pass through the Huishui River.  Three pontoon bridges were built along the bridge line. This division belongs to the engineering company, which is to hold on to those three pontoon bridges. "

    "On the road from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao, the 235th Regiment has set up mobile sentries and lit bonfires every 200 meters. However, it seems that the security is not very strict at present. It can only be described as careless.  . And the patrols on the road are all infantry, and their strength is only about one platoon."

    "In addition, there is a squad of security posts next to each bonfire. Platoon Leader Li and the others have carefully checked and found that there are no hidden posts on both sides of the road. All the troops of the battalion of the 235th Regiment are concentrated on  On the road. However, according to the confession of a squad leader of the 79th Division they captured, the commander of the 79th Division, Duan Linmao, was not at the division headquarters at the moment. This commander Duan fell off his horse yesterday and was seriously injured and has now returned to Jing County.  County cultivation.¡±

    "Peng Zhancun, the deputy commander of the 79th Division who is currently commanding on the front line, commanded the 236th Regiment to enter Jingde County this afternoon to raise supplies. Now there are only two people, Chief of Staff Hu Bihua and 235th Regiment Commander Wang Yongshu. As for the 237th Regiment,  Group, you saw them just now. As of now, they have not sent any new enemy information."

    Zhang Zixiong is young after all, and his memory can be said to be quite good.  Regarding the enemy situation report sent by Li Mingbo earlier, he made a detailed report to Yang Zhen almost word for word, without skipping a word.  Zhang Zixiong also knew that the situation was urgent and remembered every word carefully.

    After listening to Zhang Zixiong¡¯s report, Yang Zhen¡¯s brows wrinkled and suddenly relaxed.  After comprehensively analyzing the situation, he believed that this was not a trap set by the enemy consciously.  It should be that the enemy thought that he was still in the mountainous area northeast of Jingde and was preparing to march eastward to Zhejiang. He did not expect that he would do the opposite.  Regarding this direction, I relaxed my vigilance.

    Those fires and patrols on the highway should be for errands.  Since his opponent is not too vigilant, Yang Zhen will never give up on this rare opportunity.  At the speed of a forced march, they arrived at Li Mingbo's location, which was on a hill beside the road from Sanxi to Caijiaqiao.

    The ten-mile mountain road is not an intractable task for the New Fourth Army, which is used to hardship and lacks all modern means of transportation such as trains and cars, let alone airplanes, and has to march on two feet.  There are not even the most basic problems on the ten-mile mountain road.

    After arriving at Li Mingbo's location and listening to Li Mingbo's latest report on changes in the enemy situation down the mountain, Yang Zhen raised his binoculars to look at the situation on the road and the pontoon bridge erected by the 79th Division on the Huishui River, and said to Li Mingbo  : "When you lead people down the mountain, you must find a way to capture the three pontoon bridges without alerting the enemies on the road."

    "We are ready for battle here. As soon as we receive your signal, we will rush down the mountain. At the fastest speed, we can quickly pass through the highway and Huishui River before the enemy can react. The main force of the 79th Division is now  It's behind us. As long as we can get through, we're safe."

    Regarding Yang Zhen's order, Li Mingbo smiled slightly and said: "No. 1, just watch it. During the autumn campaign last year, we had no problem touching the little devil's night screws. With these few miscellaneous fish, I really  Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll finish the battle within fifteen minutes.¡±

    After saying that, he tightened his shirt?Vest, after briefly checking the gun in his hand.  With a wave of his hand, he led his men, using the bushes on the mountain as cover, and quickly approached the edge of the road.  The men behind him spread out in a tactical formation and cautiously approached the road behind him.

    ¡°If Lee Myung-bak and his team members wearing camouflage uniforms made of tree branches on the mountainous area east of Piling only made the security company who cooperated with them in the battle understandable.  So now, in full view of everyone on the hillside, let them understand what special operations is.

    Lee Myung-bak and his team members carefully approached the highway under the cover of the terrain and then used the gaps in the patrol team on the highway to quickly pass through the highway.  Its speed was so fast and its actions were so concealed that even the guard posts near the two adjacent fires were not noticed.  Of course the obvious absentmindedness of these sentries also helped a lot.

    Lee Myung-bak led his team members and quickly took a detour back to the pontoon.  A tactical team monitors the enemy on the road, while the rest carefully use the cover of grass and reeds by the river to detour back to the garrison side of the pontoon bridge.  Use detours underwater and on the ground to cleanly deal with the sentries on the pontoon.  It was so fast that even an engineer company stationed on the east side of the pontoon guarding the pontoon bridge did not notice it.

    Of course, Lee Myung-bak, who only had one shift at hand, did not greedily take down all three floating bridges.  He didn't have that many manpower, nor that much energy to take down all three floating bridges intact.  Even if he won it, he would not be able to hold it against the enemy troops on the road and east of the bridge.

    And for the troops hiding on the hillside east of the bridge at this time, there is no need to take down all three pontoon bridges, one is enough.  After taking the pontoon bridge, he was more concerned about ensuring that the pontoon bridge would not be destroyed by the enemy's counterattack before the main force passed.

    The three pontoon bridges built by the 79th Division are adjacent. Although Lee Myung-bak did an extremely good job, he did not alert the defenders on the two adjacent pontoon bridges when he captured the pontoon bridge.  But this situation cannot last long.  If the adjacent enemy forces have not discovered that the pontoon bridge has changed hands for a long time, even at night, then there will be no need to maintain the force of the 79th Division.

    Therefore, after Lee Myung-bak took over the northernmost pontoon bridge, which was slightly far away from the other two pontoon bridges, he focused more on preventing the enemy from counterattacking to recapture the pontoon bridge, or destroying the pontoon bridge.  However, he was still confident that he could hold the pontoon bridge before Yang Zhen passed.

    Although he is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, he is quite powerful in terms of firepower.  One sniper rifle, five automatic rifles, one general-purpose machine gun and a grenade launcher.  This firepower distribution is enough to block the opponent's counterattack with a company-sized force on such a narrow front for more than half an hour.  And based on his understanding of Yang Zhen and Yang Zhen's style, he could break through the highway in five minutes at most.

    After capturing the pontoon bridge, Lee Myung-bak commanded his men to establish a warning position as quickly as possible and used a walkie-talkie to send a success signal to Yang Zhen on the hillside.  After receiving the report that Li Mingbo had completed the task, Yang Zhen looked at his watch. It took exactly fifteen minutes for Li Mingbo to go down the mountain, cross the highway, and take down a pontoon bridge intact.

    For Yang Zhen, since the pontoon bridge has been taken down, there is no need to stay here anymore.  Yang Zhen waved his hand, and the troops who had been reorganized behind him were holding rifles with bayonets fixed, and the light machine guns that had gathered the few machine gun bullets left in the troops were also held flat in front of their chests.

    As for the small number of grenades, all the grenades concentrated in the first echelon have all unscrewed the safety covers, pulled out the safety ropes and hung them on their fingers.  A tactical squad led by Lee Myung-bak can quickly pass through the highway without being discovered.  But the troops behind them numbered in the thousands. No matter how careless the guard posts on the highway were, the movements of thousands of people would not be undetectable.

    Although the vegetation on the mountain is good, how can the actions of thousands of people not make a little noise?  So after arriving at the hill overlooking the entire road, Yang Zhen had no intention of touching it.  There is no thought of even approaching in small groups in batches.

    Because no matter which branch is discovered, the entire army is in danger of being divided.  Once the war drags on, the enemy troops deployed in Sanxi and Caijiaqiao will inevitably need rapid reinforcements.  As the division headquarters and main supply station, although there are not many troops, the vigilance of Sanxi and Caijiaqiao is definitely not small.

    Although there are no large groups of enemy troops in the two places, for Yang Zhen, who currently has a serious shortage of ammunition and insufficient troops, even two battalions of enemy troops will be under great pressure.  The enemy on the road is the 79th Division, the direct line of the Central Army.  Although he is a little distracted at the moment, his fighting power cannot be underestimated.

    No matter what kind of situation you faceEveryone, pay attention to tactics and don't underestimate any of your opponents. This has always been Yang Zhen's point of view.  What's more, it is an elite unit of the Central Army that has been fighting the Japanese army for many years?  For a unit that has been fighting the Japanese army for so many years since the Battle of Songhu, its combat capabilities should still be valued.

    The most important thing is that doing so also delays time, which is not consistent with Yang Zhen's plan to pass the highway as quickly as possible and complete the crossing of the Huishui River.  Since he couldn't steal them in batches, Yang Zhen's only choice was to concentrate all the ammunition of the limited troops in his hand and clench them into a fist
