Chapter 43 Singing a Hometown Song

The second attack failed again, and Stewart could no longer explain to Mario.

After Mario received the battle report, he slapped the table angrily: "Major Stewart, please tell me, what is the failure again this time?"

Stuart could no longer find any reason. It couldn't be said that the enemies were fighting for their lives one by one, and they all retreated out of fear, right?

"General, the enemy's team is very powerful, and their weapons are the same as ours, all American weapons. I even wonder if they are a special operations force?"

The U.S. Army Special Forces evolved from a number of irregular units that fought behind enemy lines during World War II.The first regular special operations force was established in Montana on July [-], [-].By the end of World War II, the U.S. military already had five such assault forces.

Therefore, Stewart wondered whether the Volunteer Army had also secretly cultivated such an assault force.

Such remarks are very convincing.

Because Mario once speculated like this, otherwise, how could a mere company take the Water Gate Bridge from their hands.

"Major Stewart, you have to understand that you don't have much time left. The large troops of the [-]st Marine Division will cross the bridge tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and they can't take the Water Gate Bridge. Guess what will happen?"

After Stuart heard this, cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "General, I will definitely take back the bridge tonight!"

Mario pointed him out: "Don't just think about the army's tanks, we also have a powerful air force with absolute air supremacy!"

This sentence awakened Stewart, yes, they still have the air force, and they can also drop bombs on the Water Gate Bridge!

"But General, will this blow up the bridge too?"

"You don't need to worry about repairing the bridge. I have found a bridge expert again. He told me that even if the Water Gate Bridge is blown down, he can still build a rut bridge."

Hearing these words, Stewart immediately regained his spirits. Without the constraints of the bridge, he could let go of his hands and feet.

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, he called in Daniel who was smoking a cigarette outside the headquarters: "Daniel, contact our aircraft carrier immediately and ask them to send bombers to cooperate with our attack!"

"Yes, sir."

"Also, have tank and artillery units ready for long-range artillery support."

"Yes, sir. But what if the bridge is blown down? What then?"

Daniel is most worried about the problem of the bridge. He did not use long-range artillery fire the previous two times because he considered whether the bridge deck could bear it.

Stewart smiled and said confidently: "Now the bridge is not important anymore. General Mario told me that he has hired a bridge expert who can build a rutted bridge. !"

……

The cold wind sneaked into the night, and the snowflakes fell silently.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The enemy fired.

This time, unlike the usual mortars, it was replaced with large-caliber shells.

The shells fell on the bridge, shaking the whole bridge. The gap that was blown out, because the bottom was supported by wood, was now bombarded and completely collapsed.

The rupture then continues to widen at that location until it breaks a larger gap.

The people of the Seventh Company also heard the roar of the plane overhead.

"It's a bomber!"

Pinghe quickly reported.

Sensing something was wrong, Wu Qianli immediately blew the osprey whistle and gave the order to retreat.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The bomb fell on the position of the Water Gate Bridge, setting off countless snowflakes, gravel and mud, which seemed to overturn the entire position on the Water Gate Bridge.

Immediately afterwards, a bomb in the shape of a "football" fell next to the artillery platoon.

"Boom" sound.

At the same time as the explosion, a raging fire burned!
Moreover, the napalm contained in this bomb floated around like fireworks.

"It's napalm!"

Tan Ziwei once talked about this kind of bomb in the cave, so everyone in the artillery platoon could guess it.

"Withdraw, withdraw! Move all the cannons away!"

Dad Lei was holding a mortar, and suddenly felt a pain in his back, but he didn't take it seriously, and urged the soldiers in the artillery platoon to evacuate to the pump room.

The scorching heat could almost melt steel, and hiding in the pump room would not be enough.

"Enter the pipeline, withdraw!" Wu Qianli shouted immediately.

At present, all 30 people in the first row have died, and the second and third rows, as well as Lei Dad's artillery platoon, have all withdrawn from the outside, but 5 soldiers were also killed by the bomb.

At present, there are only 64 people left in the Seventh Company.

Watching the little bastards of Qilian get into the pipeline one by one, Father Lei is in charge of the rear.

After entering the pipeline, the bombing outside has not stopped.

Gao Fei's heart was extremely heavy. He never imagined that the enemy would be so ruthless that he would not hesitate to blow up the Shuimen Bridge and take it back.

At this time, Father Lei suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood, his body shook, and then he plopped and sat down on the ground.

"Papa Ray!"

After Gao Fei found out, he hurried up to help him.

But when he touched Papa Lei's back, he felt that his hands were sticky, and he saw that they were covered with scorched flesh and blood sticking to his clothes!
He looked at Papa Lei's back again, and was stunned for a moment.

Papa Lei's back was completely scorched by napalm, even the bones inside were blackened!
People from Wu Qianli and Qilian heard his call and hurriedly surrounded him.

When he saw Papa Lei's injury, he couldn't help turning his head away.

Father Lei was already unconscious from the pain, but he also knew that he couldn't do it anymore, and said: "It hurts, it hurts me to death, don't leave me here alone."

This is the scariest thing about napalm bombs. After being stuck by napalm bombs, you have to endure the extremely painful process until your skin is completely scorched before you die. Burn alive!

Hearing these words, Gao Fei's eyes turned red, and the tears could not stop flowing down.

Wu Wanli also pursed his lips, trying not to cry out.

Tremblingly, Dad Lei took out a notebook from his pocket and stuffed it into Wu Qianli's hand: "This is what I owe to the soldiers of the artillery platoon, and it's all written down in this notebook. I...I still I can't go... When I go back, you pay it for me..."

Wu Qianli held the notebook tightly and nodded.

The soldiers in the surrounding artillery platoon couldn't help crying.

"You little bastards...don't cry...I'll sing you a song."

Dad Lei sang in a low voice: "Everyone says hey~...Yi. Meng. The mountain is good~...Yi. Meng. That mountain...is beautiful~"

Following the singing, Father Lei slowly closed his eyes.

Outside is a cold mountain. In this foreign country, Father Lei sprinkled his blood on this land and sang the last song of his hometown with his life...

The sounds of artillery, bombing, gunfire, and aircraft outside have all stopped.

Everyone was silent, grieving, and angry.

Yu Congrong grabbed the rope tied to Johnson's body, dragged him in front of Papa Lei, and kicked his knee fiercely: "Kneel down for Papa Lei!"

Looking at Lei's miserable situation, Johnson knelt down involuntarily: "I'm really sorry, I didn't expect the war to cause you so much harm."

Mei Sheng was the first to recover from his grief. He knew that the Shuimen Bridge had to be recaptured!
He asked in a deep voice, "Comrades, do we want to call?"

"Fight! We must fight!" Ping He checked the sniper rifle in his hand, and then took the machine gun on his back in his hand.

Wu Wanli said bitterly: "Hit back and avenge Papa Lei!"

Gao Fei said: "We must fight back, not only to avenge Papa Lei, but also to win!"

"I agree."

Wu Qianli agreed to this plan, because the enemy had just captured the Shuimen Bridge and their heels were not yet firmly established. It is entirely possible to counterattack immediately.

What's more, many soldiers, like Father Lei, sacrificed to protect their weapons and equipment. The weapons in their hands are well protected, and they can completely fight!
Wu Qianli finally said in a deep voice: "Okay, let's fight back together and regain the Shuimen Bridge!"
