Chapter 1020 Wuzan River Bridge
In this era, the industrial level of the Soviets is still very low. To look at a country's industrial base is to look at its automobile production, and to look at a country's technological level is to look at the development of its large aircraft. This is definitely a truth. .
Under the backward industrial conditions of the Soviets, only light trucks such as Gaz-AA could be produced. This kind of vehicle uses a 40-horsepower 4-cylinder gasoline engine and has a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour. It can be said that a tricycle of the later generations also exceeds its performance. .
However, the Gaz-AA is the truck with the largest output in the Soviet Union. In the early days of the Great Patriotic War, the Soviet Union could even be driven by kerosene due to the severe shortage of Soviet materials. On the basis of GAZ-AA, the Soviets further developed the GAZ-AAA truck. The difference between the two types of trucks is that the latter is a three-axle, and the rear is a two-axle, which improves the load capacity and has off-road capability. The engine was also boosted by 2 hp.
This kind of vehicle is a two-ton truck that has been mass-produced by the Gorky Automobile Factory since 1935, and has now been equipped in large quantities in the army.
Ordinary infantry divisions are two-legged. If there is no train to ride, they will walk on two legs, which is no different from fighting in the ancient army. Motorized infantry divisions are equipped with a certain number of trucks and can ride on trucks. For maneuvering, compared to two legs, the maneuverability is much improved.
The current 402nd Infantry Division, riding a Gaz-AAA truck, can travel hundreds of kilometers a day on narrow mountain roads. For example, now, they want to quickly reinforce the front line!
At the front of the infantry division was the reconnaissance company, and the company commander, Andrei, sat in the front car, looking into the distance with both eyes.
The car only has a rudimentary cab and no doors, so it is convenient for people to get in and out. It is also a simple treatment based on the lack of raw materials, and Andrei is holding a turntable machine gun in his hand.
Although the rear has been occupied by the Soviets, some guerrillas may still appear to destroy them. Such people must be expelled quickly!
The car doesn't have headlights, it's for air defense.
The rear taillights are all covered with hoods, which can only be seen by the following car, and cannot be seen clearly from the sky.
Up to now, the number of Soviet aircraft operating in northern Iran is still rare, especially since there are no night fighter jets at all. If they turn on their lights and drive here, they may be bombed by the other's planes. See a road on the road from the sky. Long Long, so clear.
The night wind blew, keeping the people in the car awake, and at the back of the car, the soldiers sitting in the carriage had already fallen asleep.
Time passed little by little, and on the mountain road, the car bumped badly.
"Squeak!" Suddenly, the driver slammed on the brakes, and the rear taillights flashed, so the cars behind them all stopped, and the entire team stopped.
"What's the matter?" shouted the battalion commander behind.
"There's a big rock on the road ahead, we need to remove it first!"
I saw it when I walked to the front, and almost hit it. Andre jumped out of the car and called the soldiers in the back compartment: "Quick, get down, push the stone!"
This rock, which is as tall as a person, rolled down from the top of the mountain. From the looks of it, it is definitely not a natural phenomenon. Someone must have deliberately destroyed it.
It seems that these so-called guerrillas have this ability!
Andrei was holding a turntable machine gun, watching his subordinates shouting slogans and pushing stones together. He needs to protect the safety of the surrounding area. If there is a guerrilla who wants to attack at this time, he must first ask him about the machine gun in his hand. Promise or not!
Andre's eyes were looking at the dark mountains in front of them. Now, the sound of rushing water could be heard. Just in front of them, it was only two or three kilometers away. It was the Uzan River. A small river in the north of Iran, because of the terrain, although the river is not wide, it is definitely turbulent.
A dozen soldiers shouted horns and pushed the stones together. At this moment, Andre suddenly pricked up his ears. He heard a rumbling sound, from the sky?
Could it be that the other party deliberately placed stones here to block their own way, and then bombed them with planes in the sky?
"Pay attention to air defense!" Andre continued to shout, and his men gave up pushing stones and began to look for cover to temporarily avoid.
Andre was not afraid. He climbed to a small hill with his turntable machine gun. If a plane really dared to dive down, he could just use his machine gun to kill the opponent!
The sound, getting closer and closer, but nothing could be seen.
Finally, Andre noticed the dark shadow in the sky. In the dimness, the wings of the shadow seemed to be in the shape of an inverted seagull.
Well, the other party is still flying level, not diving, it seems that they have not found themselves!
Andre held his breath, watching the plane fly over his head and then fly away, not finding his side! At such a time, of course, he would not shoot at the air for no reason at all and recruit the opponent.
Andrei breathed a sigh of relief, then became nervous again, and more!
Behind, another bomber flew over!
Well, it flew away again.
Just then, there was a huge explosion in front of him.
"Boom!" The ground shook, and the sound of the explosion was not too far away from our side! The night sky in the distance also suddenly flashed, and it seemed that the other party threw a flare.
what are they doing? Our troops have not arrived there yet!
Andrei looked at the bright sky in front of him. The clearly visible Stuka bomber was diving down and attacking. Suddenly, he realized something.
Damn, these damn guys!
Andrei threw off his legs and ran forward quickly, holding the turntable machine gun to his chest with both hands and then to his shoulders. He seemed to be crazy and ran forward for a few kilometers.
When he turned around the foot of the mountain over there, he suddenly saw clearly.
On the Wuzan River, the bridge between the two mountains is gone!
The bridge deck was completely blown up, the two piers that penetrated into the water were gone, and the approach bridges on both sides were gone. If it weren't for the countless cracked concrete under the water, it would be as if the bridge never existed!
Putting down the machine gun, Andre sat down on the ground, looking at the flowing Uzan River, and already scolded the other party's old mother in his heart.
Damn it, you actually blew up the bridge here! If we rebuild the bridge, it will be too late, because the mountain road can only accommodate one-way traffic, and there are too few places to meet cars. Even if there are bridge cars behind, it will not be able to pass.
If you detour...then you will have to detour hundreds of kilometers. What is even more frightening is that those mountain roads, I am afraid that cars can't cross, they can only walk there!
