Among the Japanese soldiers on the truck, someone saw the black thing flying over, but the speed was too fast, and they stood in the carriage and could not hide at all. They had only had time to exclaim, and two grenades fell directly into the carriage.

With a "boom", two grenades exploded at the same time, directly blowing up the entire car, and all more than 20 Japanese officers and soldiers on the car were killed.

Then, Gao Jiu opened fire. He shot one by one, and before the soldiers on the motorcycle jumped off the motorcycle, a lieutenant officer and four soldiers of the Japanese were shot dead by Gao Jiuyi.

The Japanese army was very arrogant. The Japanese army on the other side of the Lanxi River had never been attacked except for the last time being attacked in the prisoner-of-war camp. In addition, there was a large group of Japanese troops on the Lanxi River Bridge, so the number of Japanese troops escorting the artillery units was very small, with only half a team. Almost in an instant, most of them were killed by Gao Jiu.

Several other Japanese soldiers on the motorcycle jumped out of the car and fired at Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu had already moved his position. After filling the gun with bullets, he changed his position and killed two Japanese soldiers.

When the Japanese artillery convoy saw a problem ahead, they didn't know what to do for a moment, so they stopped the car.

This is the main line of Jizheng Highway, and the road is wider. Gao Jiu is worried that the Japanese army will drive by forcibly. He doesn't care about eliminating the remaining two remaining soldiers from the Japanese escort troops. He fired two shots in a row and knocked out the drivers in the two cars behind him.

He turned around and wanted to continue shooting the two Japanese soldiers. At this time, he found that the two soldiers had already run towards the Lanxi River Bridge, hoping to report the attack on the artillery troops.

Gao Jiu chased them with bullets, killed them one by one, and wiped out all the Japanese troops escorting the artillery, Gao Jiu began to deal with the Japanese artillery.

The Japanese artillery also underwent basic training as ordinary infantry, but they are technical troops. Although some of them have good shooting skills, they lack the experience of organizing fighting with enemy infantry and fight on their own in a mess. The overall combat effectiveness is much worse than that of infantry.

There is another problem. Not everyone in the Japanese artillery has guns. Only one-third of them are equipped with rifles. In other words, only a few people in an artillery squad have rifles, and the others are bare hands.

Those well-trained Japanese field troops were not Gao Jiu's opponents, and these Japanese artillery soldiers were even more of Gao Jiu's live targets. Gao Jiu quickly moved his position at an extremely fast speed. Every time he stayed for a short time, he would fire two shots. He fired his bullets and kept harvesting the lives of the Japanese artillery.

In less than ten minutes, dozens of Japanese soldiers died under Gao Jiu's gun.

Some Japanese artillery soldiers at the end of the convoy saw that the situation was not good, turned around and fled to the same road.

For Gao Jiu, as long as these artillery soldiers did not go to the Lanxi River Bridge to support their infantry, Gao Jiu would not bother to pay attention to them. He continued to shoot and kill those Japanese soldiers who could see it.

Soon after, the five Japanese artillery vehicles lined up at the end of the line turned around and fled. The remaining seven Japanese cars were beaten by Gao Jiu and parked on the road. All the Japanese artillery soldiers who had no time to escape were wiped out by Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu came to the highway and saw so many Type 92 infantry cannons on the highway. He really wanted to bring them all back. Unfortunately, he didn't have this time now. Although he felt a pity, he had no choice but to throw a grenade into the cannon barrel and destroy the Type 92 infantry cannons one by one, and then blow up the seven cars and three motorcycles in front of him.

After doing these things, Gao Jiu crossed back to the other side of the river.

On the Lanxi River Bridge, the captain of the Beidao Brigade heard a faint explosion in the distance. The direction of the explosion was exactly where the artillery troops were going to pass. He felt something was wrong and immediately organized a squadron of infantry to take a car and rushed towards the accident site. When they saw the road was messy, they couldn't help but be shocked and hurriedly searched for the attackers. Unfortunately, they could not see any figures.

They expanded the search range and then picked up some shells of sniper rifles on the hillside. They could not tell how many attackers were, but the total number of people was not large. The Japanese squadron leader who led the team had no choice but to take the troops back to the Lanxi River Bridge and report the situation to the Captain of the Beidao.

On this side of the Lanxi River Bridge, Wang Zhankui and others also heard the explosions coming from afar. Everyone knew that this was Gao Jiu's exchange of fire with the enemy.

Everyone was very convinced of Gao Jiu's combat effectiveness. They believed that Gao Jiu's own safety would not be a problem. The only thing they were worried about was that there were too many enemies and he could not defeat the enemy's artillery troops alone. Everyone had done their job of the enemy's artillery troops coming and prepared to prevent artillery.

After about 50 minutes of the explosion, Wang Zhankui and others saw Gao Jiu and the soldier who were responding to him, riding a horse towards the place. After a while, they arrived in front of Wang Zhankui and others.

Wang Zhankui asked with concern: "Master Jiu, are you okay? Where are the Japanese artillery soldiers?"

The soldier who was following Gao Jiu had asked Gao Jiu the same question on the way. He was excited and couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Don't worry! The group seat, they can't come! They were all beaten away by Master Jiu."

Wang Zhankui gave Gao Jiu a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Jiu Master is powerful, Jiu Master is mighty."

The officers and soldiers of the cavalry battalion shouted together: "Justice Jiu is mighty!"

An artillery soldier heard the good news and ran to the bridge and told the artillery company commander the news. The artillery company commander said happily: "Damn little Japanese, there is no cannon, let's see how I deal with you."

At this time, the Japanese army on the opposite side had already hidden themselves. The artillery company commander could not see the target. He was helpless. But he didn't want to be idle and still shot him in one shot. He felt that even if it was scaring the Japanese, it was good. This feeling of bullying people was really good.

He felt that he was not satisfied. He looked out carefully through the gaps in the railings of the bridge and finally found a target. Through the artillery mirror, he could see a motorcycle parked in the distance on the river bank opposite, with four or five Japanese soldiers sitting there, including a Japanese officer. It was more than two kilometers away, so these Japanese soldiers did not hide.

The artillery company commanded the artillery to move the cannons. The Bofos Mountain cannon weighed 785 kilograms and it was very difficult to move. They did not bother with it. Seven or eight people took action together.

He aimed directly at the Japanese officers and soldiers next to the motorcycle.

The gap between the bridge guardrails is less than 1 meter wide. If the shells are slightly deviated, they will hit the iron railings. The explosion fragments are likely to hurt the surrounding national soldiers.

The artillery company commander shouted: "Brothers! All are hidden, I'm going to fire."

The officers and soldiers of the National Army hid behind the fortifications. The space behind the mountain cannon shield was too small, so the artillery soldiers also ran away and hid behind the fortifications. Only the artillery company commander was left nearby.

He hid behind the shield, aimed again, and pulled the cannon rope hard.

With a "boom", the shell flew out from the narrow gap in the guardrail. You can see from a distance that the shell exploded near the motorcycle. After the smoke dissipated, the motorcycle had been blown away and the Japanese soldiers disappeared.

This shot was very accurate. Without a test shot, hitting the target with one shot was considered extraordinary.

"Good fight!" The soldiers and soldiers of the Chinese army on the position cheered loudly.

The artillery company commander was even more excited and even got carried away. He straightened his waist and said proudly: "Little Japanese, let you see my magic cannon!"

At this moment, a bullet flew from the opposite side, probably a sneak attack by a sharpshooter from the Japanese. The gun hit the heart of the artillery company commander. Before the smile on his face had dissipated, he lost his life forever.

"Be careful of the enemy's sniper." Ning Wen shouted loudly, and then he went to find the Japanese sniper who was sneak attacking.

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and Li Xiaoshan have been monitoring the enemy. After the Japanese sniper fired, they discovered him from Ning Wu's perspective. Ning Wu shot him and killed him in the head, which was considered to avenge the artillery company commander.

Opposite the bridge, Kitajima hid in the bunker and heard bad news that the artillery troops could no longer come to reinforce. He didn't know what to do for a moment, so he had to send a telegram to the corps captain and request tactical guidance.

The captain of the Japanese 37th Regiment was also unable to determine what the national army on the other side was going to do. He sent a telegram to Kitajima and asked him to lead the troops there temporarily, as long as the national army was not allowed to cross the river, and at the same time, he had to beware that the national army would send people to blow up the bridge.

Kitajima felt much more relaxed when he received such an order. He was not sure of letting him cross the river to regain the bridgehead. However, he had full confidence in defending the bridge, preventing the national army from crossing the river, and preventing the enemy from placing explosives on the bridge piers.

He felt that he had nothing to do next, so he took out a novel, lay on the bed in the bunker, reading books to pass the time.

One hour and 20 minutes later, the artillery battalion of the 187th Division finally arrived.

Half an hour later, Gao Jiu adjusted all the cannons, and the mouth of the gun was facing the main pier of the Lanxi River Bridge.

The artillery battalion commander himself, waving the red flag and shouting loudly: "Armor Piercing Bullets are ready."

"One shot."

"The second shot is good."

"Three shots are good."

...

The National Army artillery reported the preparations for each artillery in sequence.

"Let me." The artillery battalion commander waved the small flag down and shouted loudly.

With a "boom", 20 cannons roared almost at the same time, and shells roared on the main bridge pier of the bridge.

After the artillery battalion commander fired the artillery, he hurriedly used the artillery mirror to observe the shooting effect. He saw smoke and dust rolling on the upper half of the main bridge pier of the bridge. When the smoke dissipated, it was obvious that the piers were covered with scars and a black hole was exposed.

Although he had heard Gao Jiu perform well when the artillery soldiers reported attacking the enemy's bunker, he still couldn't believe his eyes when he saw such a magical miracle with his own eyes. He couldn't help but wave the little flag and praised: "It's incredible, Master Jiu is mighty!"

Cannons are not rifles. There are too many factors that affect the flight of shells. Even if they can hit the target within 50m, they can hit the target within 10m, which is excellent. If they can hit the target without a test shot, they can hit the target directly, which is impossible for even a god. What's more, this is not a cannon, but a total of 20 mountain cannons hit the target at the same time, which is really unimaginable.

On the other side of the river, Captain Beidao heard the roar of cannons and hurriedly observed out of the shooting hole, but he could not see the bridge from his position. He knew that someone would report to him immediately, so he waited patiently.

Soon, a second lieutenant officer ran in, and could see his face full of horror. He said, "Report to the captain, the enemy is bombing the main piers of the bridge with artillery."

The first feeling of Beidao is that the artillery soldiers of the National Army are all fools. They have their brains in water. How can they use cannons to hit the bridge piers at such a long distance? Even if a few shells occasionally hit the bridge piers, isn’t it like being tickled when hitting such a thick bridge piers?

When he saw the terrified look of the Japanese lieutenant, his face darkened and said, "What are you afraid of? As a soldier of the Great Japanese Empire, you must remain calm at any time."

The lieutenant was scolded and dared not argue. He said, "Hayi, I have lost my duty. Please punish him. However, you should go and see him in person."

Beidao drilled out of the bunker and walked a distance along the river bank to observe the situation of the bridge piers.

At this moment, he heard another rumbling sound of cannons. Then, he saw smoke and dust rolling on the bridge pier of the bridge, and the shells were obviously hitting the bridge pier. When the smoke of gunpowders dissipated, although there was no full shelling effect at his position, it was obvious that the bridge pier was missing a large piece.

His face changed drastically, and he knew that if the bombing continued like this, the bridge pier would not be able to be saved in a long time. He wanted to stop the enemy artillery bombing, but he had no cannons in his hand, so he could only watch the enemy cannons showing off his might.

Because the shells accurately hit the main bridge pier and the explosion caused great damage to the main bridge pier, in fact, the piers were not as strong as imagined. After the seventh row of shells hit, the piers were broken into two pieces.

The weight of the bridge itself is very heavy, and there are a long piece of piers connected to the bridge. The huge weight makes the steel frame of the bridge make a "squeaking" sound. The cement on the bridge deck cracks a lot of gaps, the bridge begins to deform and bend downward, and the sound of the steel frame twisting becomes louder and louder. With a "click", it finally breaks into two pieces. Then, a long section of the bridge fell into the river water under the bridge, splashing huge waves, and a gap of more than 30 meters long was exposed in the middle of the bridge.

"Success, success!" The officers and soldiers of the National Army cheered loudly.

Captain Beidao was stunned. What was happening in front of him was beyond his perception. He suddenly thought of a creepy name: Gao Jiu. He heard a rhythmic shout from the other side of the river: "Jiu Master Jiu! Jiu Master Jiu's mighty."

Captain Kitajima finally knew the purpose of the national army. Now that the bridge has been broken, it is meaningless for them to stay here, so he wanted to withdraw. When he thought of the word "retreat", he suddenly realized the danger. His face changed drastically and he hurriedly shouted: "Order the troops and evacuate immediately."

He was right, the artillery soldiers of the National Army knocked down the bridge, and the next target was of course the Japanese army on the other side.

They adjusted the muzzle and fired rows of shells over.

The chaotic Japanese army was retreating, with heavy casualties amid the fierce artillery fire.

Seeing the artillerymen fighting happily, Gao Jiu, Wang Zhankui and others were also happy to watch the jokes, and sat on the grass and chatted.

Before the artillery battalion commander came, after the scene when the Logistics Director was unwilling to allocate the shells to him, he felt angry and deliberately wasted more shells. So he kept ordering the artillery fire until he could no longer see the Japanese on the other side, and then he stopped shooting.

The captain of the Japanese 37th Regiment received a report from Bei Dao. His expression was not so depressed, and he even felt a little secretly grateful. The Lanxi River Bridge was blown up, at least the newly formed 187th Division of the National Army on the other side of the river would not cause trouble for him, let alone the hateful Gao Jiu. He patted Bei Dao on the shoulder and said, "Don't be depressed. This matter has nothing to do with your ability. There are too many enemy artillery, let alone the hateful Gao Jiu. You don't need to take responsibility for this matter, I will excuse you from your superiors."

At the beginning, Kitajima thought that after he reported the situation, the team leader would be furious. He was ready to be half-dead by the spits. Seeing that the team leader was like this, he was a little confused for a moment, but he was a smart man and soon understood why the team leader looked like this. He said gratefully: "Thank you, the team leader, for your care."

Zhiyuan County, 187th Division Guesthouse.

Since Gao Jiu went to war, Xiao Yatong's heart has been hanging. In the past, although Gao Jiu went out to fight many times, Xiao Yatong was not aware of it in advance. This was the first time that she personally sent Gao Jiu to the battlefield, so the worries in her heart were naturally inevitable. She had no appetite during breakfast. She even felt dizzy and nauseous because of insomnia last night.

Wang Jindong is a careful person. He has seen the extraordinary relationship between Gao Jiu and Xiao Yatong. He has received news that Gao Jiu and others are about to be triumphant. He immediately sent someone to report the good news to Xiao Yatong.

Xiao Yatong was very happy, and the feeling of discomfort in her body disappeared immediately. She looked in the mirror and found that her face was a little haggard. She went to take a shower immediately, hoping that when Gao Jiu came back, she could see her most beautiful side.

The Lanxi River Bridge was blown up and the pressure on the Japanese army from Henan was relieved. Wang Jindong, Chief of Staff Liu and others were very happy and held a celebration banquet for Gao Jiu and others.

In order to repay Gao Jiu's help this time, Wang Jindong not only highlighted Gao Jiu's role in reporting the battle report of blowing up the Lanxi River Bridge and annihilated a large number of Japanese troops, but also prepared to give Gao Jiu two military radio stations, 300,000 bullets, 1,000 mortar shells and 12,000 grenades.

Wuhan sent another telegram urging Gao Jiu to Wuhan.

Wang Jindong, Chief of Staff Liu, Wang Zhankui and others drove themselves to send Gao Jiu and others to Han Ferry.
