"What are you doing!" Chabayev walked forward and wanted to argue with the other party. Before he could finish a sentence, a man next to the man immediately pressed him to the ground.

1077 Night Attack 2

"What are you cowards here? Why don't you get on the boat and rescue the people who fell into the water!" Just as a team of Russian engineers were preparing to untire the wooden boat next to the pontoon bridge and came to repair the pontoon bridge, a big man with a scar on his face walked over two steps and slapped one of the Russian soldiers aside. Then some of his companions walked onto the boat, untied the cables and rowed towards the center of the river.&1t;/p>

"What are you doing!" Chabayev walked forward and wanted to argue with the other party. Before he could finish a sentence, a man next to the man immediately pressed him to the ground. Just as Chabayev was about to struggle, a string of bullets flew over almost to his scalp, which made him calm down immediately.&1t;/p>

"Brother, my comrades fell into the water. I need to rescue them. I borrow a boat. Thank you. I pay for his disrespect." As he said, the guy who had just saved his life stuffed a pocket watch into Chabayev's hands.&1t;/p>

"Uh, okay, I'll help me save the people who fell into the water on the stone bridge." Chabayev was completely confused by the plot of flipped several times. He watched with his own eyes a group of people holding his own things and then rowing towards the center of the river.&1t;/p>

"It seems that there is something on the river." Myers' deputy pointed at the river and said.&1t;/p>

"Don't worry about him, we can't hit them, turn off those searchlights first, these things make me feel uncomfortable." Myers glanced at several small boats on the river and ordered.&1t;/p>

The pontoon bridge is only 50 meters away from the target bridge, and the second Lieutenant Wright who was mixed on board the ship was only 30 meters away from the piers. This distance is very close to the ferrymen. Both the soldiers and the stone bridges of the pontoon bridge did not pay attention to these small boats, especially the ship is covered with the signs of Russian engineers. After a searchlight was swept around, no one noticed these little guys again.&1t;/p>

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lieutenant Wright fixed the sealed explosives and fuses he brought, and then jumped into the water first. 15 German soldiers swam towards the stone bridge in the distance with more than 2oo kilograms of explosives. They chose a shadow area near the shore, where searchlights rarely visited here, and the shooting sound of nearby machine guns was enough to cover up the sound of paddling.&1t;/p>

"What are we doing now?" asked a disguised German soldier.&1t;/p>

"We can't be idle at least when we act like this." Scarface thought for a while, and then looked at the group of Russian engineers who expressed doubts about him on the other side of the river.&1t;/p>

More than 10 minutes later, Lieutenant Wright and his subordinates finally touched the bridge pier, which was faster than they expected, because just after they were in the water, the dive of two K-4n bombers directly killed two searchlights and several machine gun bunkers. The red-eyed Russians began to concentrate on firearms and even heard the sound of hundreds of rifles shooting in the air.&1t;/p>

Now, the river surface was dark, which greatly facilitated the operation of Lieutenant Wright. After fixing more than a dozen packs of explosives at the support points of the two piers, and once again determined that the timed fuze could work normally, Lieutenant waved his hand and signaled that everyone could retreat.&1t;/p>

Half an hour later, when Lieutenant Miles and his crew finally drained all their ammunition and were about to retreat, a violent explosion came from the water! Two fires that soared into the sky instantly illuminated a few hundred meters in a radius. A four-wheeled carriage on the bridge was thrown directly into the air more than 100 meters, and was blown into pieces during the ascent.&1t;/p>

Then, the two piers collapsed directly, and the entire bridge deck broke into several sections! Tons of stones, wood and steel smashed into the water, causing a loud noise like thunder.&1t;/p>

"We haven't brought a bomb that weighs more than 2ookg, right?" Captain Miles said in surprise at the stone bridge that was half blown away in the distance.&1t;/p>

"Maybe a bomb happened to land on the bridge deck and detonated the Russian ammunition truck on the bridge deck?" said the back seat partner.&1t;/p>

"When we were carrying out the bombing mission, the target bridge collapsed unexpectedly, and it should have been destroyed by a large amount of explosives, but it should not have been done by us, because we did not have so many bombs, and judging from the destruction, it should have been caused by the explosion of the support part of the bridge pier." Lieutenant Miles wrote in the report after the war.&1t;/p>

The second lieutenant Wright, who arranged the explosives, also looked at the two-part bridge in the distance with an incredible look on his face. "This is not right! It should explode in ten minutes!" The second lieutenant looked at his watch and said.&1t;/p>

"Don't worry, our mission has been completed anyway!" Scarface patted the lieutenant's shoulder and signaled that the latter would leave quickly. Before the Russians reacted, the group entered the night sky. After the goal was achieved, the Night Owls team naturally would not waste too much time and immediately pulled away. It was only 2 a.m. now, they still had half a night to transfer and find a safe place.&1t;/p>

"The bombing of the Constine 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 pontoon bridge solves the personnel problems, the firmness and ability of the fragile wooden pontoon bridge cannot be compared with the Constine Bridge. The former is easily destroyed under the attack of the Luftwaffe, and even the incendiary bombs of large-caliber machine guns can cause huge damage to the bridge deck. The incendiary bombs that the Germans like to use are even more of the natural enemy of the wooden pontoon. As long as one hits, a wooden bridge that is several hundred meters long may be completely burned. The wooden bridge built can not pass a cannon weighing more than 4 tons."&1t;/p>

"In this night attack, the Germans and ground troops cooperated with the air force. They carried machine guns and mortars, with a population of about 100. We began to think this was just a different phenomenon. However, as time went by, our troops, supply stations, and transportation hubs were attacked. Although we also caught some German infiltration teams, the losses they caused to us were far greater than their efforts. This new way of combat deserves our attention." This incident even alarmed Alexeyev, the commander-in-chief of the Russian Southeast Front. After hearing that a key bridge was bombed, the Russian general wrote in his diary.&1t;/p>

One by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, the night owl team continued to carry out sabotage and harassment missions behind enemy lines. After a night bombing, the air force did not continue to expand the scale of the night raid. On the one hand, the effect of the night raid was quite average. There were still some technical problems to be solved. On the other hand, the Luftwaffe needed to accumulate strength to prepare for the upcoming war. Just as the Russians were worried about the squads that were sabotaging themselves, Markensen's iron fist finally smashed down!&1t;/p>
