Chapter 118 Wuzan River Bridge

In this era, the Soviet industrial level was still very low. It is absolutely a truth to look at a country's industrial foundation, its automobile production, its scientific and technological level, and its development of large aircraft.

Under the backward industrial conditions of the Soviet Union, light trucks like Gas-Aa can only be produced. This type of vehicle uses a 40-horsepower 4-cylinder gasoline engine with a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour. It can be said that a tricycle in later generations also surpassed it.

However, the Gas-aa is the truck with the largest output in the Soviet Union. In the early days of the Patriotic War, the Soviet Union could even rely on kerosene to drive it. Based on the Gas-aa, the Soviet Union further developed the Gas-aaa truck. The difference between the two vehicles is that the latter is three-axis and the back is two-axis, which improves the load capacity and off-road capabilities. The engine used also increases by 2 horsepower.

This type of car is a two-ton truck mass-produced by the Gorky Automobile Factory since 1935, and has now been widely equipped to the army.

An ordinary infantry division has two legs. If there is no train to ride, it depends entirely on two legs to walk, which is no different from the ancient army fighting. The motorized infantry division is equipped with a certain number of trucks that can be used to ride on trucks for motoring. Compared with two legs, the maneuverability is greatly improved.

The current 402 Infantry Division is riding in the Gas-aaa truck and can also advance hundreds of kilometers a day on the narrow mountain road. For example, now, they have to quickly reinforce the front line!

At the front of the infantry division is the reconnaissance company. The company commander Andre sat in a car in the front with his eyes looking into the distance.

The car only has a simple cab and no doors, which makes it easier for people to get up and down, and it is also a simple treatment based on the lack of raw materials. Andrei was holding a turntable machine gun in his hand.

Although the rear has been occupied by the Soviets, some guerrillas may still appear to cause damage to them. Such people must be expelled quickly!

The car does not turn on the lights, it is for air defense.

The rear lights of the car behind are all equipped with a light shield, and can only be seen by the next car, and cannot be seen clearly from the sky.

Until now, the number of Soviet aircraft operating in northern Iran is still rare, especially there are no night fighters at all. If they turn on the headlights here, they might be bombed by the other side's planes. It is too clear to see a long dragon on the road from the sky.

The night wind blew, keeping the people in the car awake, while the soldiers sitting in the car were already drowsy.

Time passed by little by little, and the cars were bumping heavily on the mountain roads.

"Crack!" Suddenly, the driver stepped on the brakes, and the taillights behind were flashing, so the cars following behind stopped, and the entire convoy stopped.

"What's going on?" the battalion commander behind shouted.

“There is a big rock on the road ahead, we need to remove it first!”

When he walked up to him, he almost ran into it. Andre jumped out of the car and called the soldiers in the car behind him: "Hurry up, get down, push the stone!"

This stone is one person tall and rolled down from the top of the mountain. Judging from this appearance, it is definitely not a natural phenomenon, and it must have been deliberately destroyed by someone.

It seems that these so-called guerrillas have only this ability!

Andrei held the turntable machine gun, watching his subordinates shouting slogans and pushing stones together. He needs to protect the safety around him. If a guerrilla team wants to attack at this time, he must first ask whether the machine gun in his hand agrees or not!

Andrei looked at the dark mountains in front of him. Now, he could hear the sound of thundering water. Just in front of them, it was only two or three kilometers away. It was the Uzan River. This is a small river in northern Iran. Due to the terrain, although the river surface is not wide, it is definitely a turbulent flow.

More than a dozen soldiers shouted horns and worked together to push the stones. At this moment, Andre suddenly raised his ears and heard a rumbling sound, from the sky?

Could it be that the other party deliberately arranged stones here to block his own way, and then bombarded with an airplane in the sky?

"Be careful of air defense!" Andre continued to shout, and his men gave up pushing stones and began to find cover to avoid temporarily.

Andre was not afraid. He climbed to a small hill and held his own turntable machine gun. If there was really a plane that dared to dive, he could use his machine gun to kill the other party!

The sound is getting closer and closer, but nothing can be seen.

Finally, Andre noticed the black shadow in the sky. In the hazy, the wings of the black shadow seemed to be in the shape of an inverted seagull.

Well, the other party is still flying and has not dived. It seems that he has not discovered his side!

Andre held his breath and watched the plane fly over his head and fly away, but he didn't find him! At this time, of course, he would not shoot at the air without knowing what was going on and attract the other party.

Andrey breathed a sigh of relief and became nervous again, and there was still!

Behind, another bomber flew over!

Fortunately, it flew away again.

Just then, a huge explosion suddenly came from the front.

"Boom!" The earth shook, and the explosion was not particularly far away from our side! The night sky in the distance suddenly shone. It seemed that the other party threw a flare.

What are they doing? Our troops have not yet arrived there!

Andre looked at the sky ahead and became brighter. The clearly visible Stuka bomber was diving downwards and suddenly, he realized something.

Damn, these damn guys!

Andrey shook his legs and ran forward quickly, holding the turntable machine gun to his chest with both hands, and then carrying it to his shoulders. He ran forward for several kilometers as if he was crazy.

When he turned over the foot of the mountain there, he suddenly saw it clearly.

On the Wuzan River, the bridge between the two mountains is gone!

All the bridge decks were blown up, and the two piers that penetrated deep into the water were gone, and the approach bridges on both sides were gone. If it weren't for the countless broken concrete under the water, it would be like a bridge had never existed!

Putting down the machine gun, Andre sat on the ground, looking at the rolling Wuzan River, and cursing the other party's mother in his heart.

It's so damn that it actually exploded the bridge here! If we rebuilt the bridge, it would be absolutely too late, because the mountain road can only accommodate one-way traffic, and there are too few places to meet. Even if there are bridge-building cars behind, we can't get through.

If you take a detour... you have to go around hundreds of kilometers. What's even more terrifying is that even cars can't get through those mountain roads, so they can only walk over them!
