Expedition to Europe

Chapter 435 Phantoms

The Oka River is the tributary of the Volga River with the largest amount of water, with a total length of 1,478 kilometers.

The river section near Omur belongs to the upper reaches of the Oka River. The width of the water surface here rarely exceeds 1,000 meters. It is winding and the water flow is rapid.

Liu Shuangxi and Chen Yongsheng ran through the mountains for a day and a night and finally arrived at the Oka River.

This is already far away from the vanguard of the Foreign Legion. For the Bolsheviks, it is the rear. The Russians obviously don’t have much defense. They stationed troops at both ends of the bridge to guard, but the number is not large, and the defense is not tight.

Liu Shuangxi and Chen Yongsheng don’t know what the name of this bridge is. Although there is a huge Russian word at the bridgehead, neither of them knows it.

It can still be distinguished that this is a rare iron bridge at this time.

Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as a steel bridge, because the load-bearing capacity of cast iron bridges is too poor and has been verified to be unfeasible. This bridge should be a steel bridge.

It is well known that Russia's steel production is low, which can also explain why the Russians have not destroyed the bridge yet in the face of the relentless pressure from the foreign legion.

The destination of Liu Shuangxi and Chen Yongsheng's trip is this bridge.

"This river is wide enough. It is the largest river in the world." Chen Yongsheng came from the village and had little experience.

"This is not considered as such. It is much larger than this. Look at the boat. The water flow here is very fast. If we don't take this bridge, it will be difficult for our armored forces to cross the river..." Liu Shuangxi, who has a wide range of experience, disagrees with this.

Just as Liu Shuangxi and Chen Yongsheng were observing in secret, a wooden boat happened to go down the river. Although the boat had no driving device and no sails, it could still be seen that the speed was quite fast.

That was the credit of the water flow.

"Yeah, we are here this time." Chen Yongsheng nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, get ready. Let's find a way to get to the other side first. At 4 o'clock tomorrow morning, we will launch an attack at the same time. Is there any problem on your side?" Liu Shuangxi was a little worried.

"No problem, no problem. You are short of people. How about I send two squads to help you?" Chen Yongsheng has a brotherly righteousness.

Liu Shuangxi's side does not have many people, only more than 30 soldiers. Although they are powerful, Chen Yongsheng thinks that there are too few people.

Chen Yongsheng brought more than 130 people, which is about the same as a company of Russians.

"Hehe... No need." Liu Shuangxi declined politely. Yang Feiyi beside Liu Shuangxi smiled strangely.

"You have a little few people. I see that those old Russians have at least one company." Chen Yongsheng still has this kind of vision.

"No need, I will leave a team here, and you don't have to worry about it over there. After the battle on your side is over, you must immediately send a platoon to the other side to organize defense. My people are not good at defense." Liu Shuangxi has a request.

It's a lie that Liu Shuangxi is not good at defense. He doesn't want the position to hold back the scouts. The scouts must swim to maximize their combat effectiveness.

"This, this is not good." Chen Yongsheng wanted to insist.

"Don't worry, even if you send someone now, it won't help. You have to swim across. Can your people do it?" Yang Feiyi couldn't help but interrupt.

Swim across!

Chen Yongsheng looked at the four or five hundred meters wide water surface and swallowed his saliva secretly. This is fully armed, and the water is rushing. Ordinary people can't do this job.

After Liu Shuangxi made the arrangements, he stopped talking nonsense and lay down with his clothes on. After a while, he made a sound of even breathing.

The Taishan collapsed in front of him and his face remained unchanged. This skill of nourishing qi is also unique. Only with strong self-confidence can it be done.

Chen Yongsheng also tried to sleep for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter how he tossed and turned, so he came to the soldiers to see their condition.

What made Chen Yongsheng feel embarrassed was that many soldiers were already taking the time to rest. Carlvon's snoring even made Liu Shuangxi feel that this guy was a spy sent by the Russians.

Just after turning half a circle, Chen Yongsheng saw Zheng Jing staring at him with narrowed eyes.

To be honest, Chen Yongsheng was used to Zheng Jing's expressionless face, but at this moment, Chen Yongsheng actually found that Zheng Jing seemed to have a flash of mockery in his eyes...

This made Chen Yongsheng feel a little hopeful, so he walked over.

"Don't you want to sleep for a while?" As usual, Chen Yongsheng had to find a topic, otherwise Zheng Jing would never speak.

Well, the result was as Chen Yongsheng expected. Zheng Jing still didn't speak, but just shook his head slightly.

There's a way!

Chen Yongsheng was screaming in his heart.

"I can't sleep either..." Chen Yongsheng began to act, his voice low and his face sad. He sat down next to Zheng Jing and began to sigh: "I have been restless these days, I can't sleep, I can't eat well, I feel like something is going to happen..."

Speaking of this, Chen Yongsheng felt a little embarrassed.

Well, just now, Chen Yongsheng had just eaten two boxes of luncheon meat, and it was hard to tell where he couldn't eat.

Fortunately, Chen Yongsheng was thick-skinned enough, and he didn't care whether Zheng Jing responded or not, and he continued to talk: "Yesterday I dreamed that your sister-in-law gave birth to a big fat boy for me. I reached out to hold him, but I couldn't hold him... I couldn't see your sister-in-law's face clearly... It seemed like it, but it didn't seem like it..."

This is nonsense. I rushed all night yesterday. When did I fall asleep?

"I think this is not a good sign. You know, we are the only two Han Chinese in our company. If anything happens to me, you should send a message home and tell the mother not to wait for me and to find someone to marry quickly, so that I won't be restless in the underworld..." Chen Yongsheng was moved as he spoke, his face was sad and his eyes were slightly red.

The profession of a soldier is very special. You never know when a stray bullet will come and the soldier will have to go to see his ancestors. Therefore, many soldiers will have an explanation with each other. Once something unexpected happens, they will send a message or something.

Soldiers are not as taboo about this topic as described in film and television works. That is filmed for people to see. Real soldiers are ready to face death at any time. They are not taboo about their own funeral affairs. Many people even wrote suicide notes early...

They really treat every day as their last day, so they are so enthusiastic.

"You go and say it yourself..." Zheng Jing's voice was low and hoarse, as if he had not spoken for too long and was a little unaccustomed to it, but to Chen Yongsheng, it sounded like the sound of nature.

"I want to, but I'm afraid there is no chance..." Chen Yongsheng was ecstatic, but his face remained calm: "In our business... we don't have to worry about our heads, and we might offend the Tai Sui one day... It is said that loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. We are loyal to the country, and Master Qin will not forget us. Anyway, Master Qin will take care of my family in the future, and I will sell my life to Master Qin..."

No matter how Chen Yongsheng talked, Zheng Jing stopped talking, but Chen Yongsheng was not discouraged. At least Zheng Jing responded and was no longer so lifeless, which made Chen Yongsheng feel that he was making progress.

As Chen Yongsheng was chattering, the sun gradually fell, and darkness enveloped the earth. The visibility was not so dark that you could not see your hand in front of your face, but it was not very clear ten meters away.

The Russians equipped the bridgehead with searchlights, but it was obvious that the soldiers operating the searchlights were not vigilant. The light beams of the searchlights would only sweep across the river in three to five minutes, that is, just passing by.

Liu Shuangxi and the scouts were ready. It was not until this time that Chen Yongsheng realized that Liu Shuangxi and his team were not completely unprepared. The scouts each had a fully inflated leather bag, which could reduce a lot of consumption when swimming across.

Yang Feiyi's team, who stayed here, was also ready. They left all their backpacks in place, only carried the necessary weapons, and had colorful oil paint on their faces, looking like ghosts.

At half past three, Chen Yongsheng and his team had already advanced to the attack position in secret. According to the predetermined plan, Chen Yongsheng and his team were on standby, and Yang Feiyi took a team of scouts to sneak up and take the main attack.

Chen Yongsheng noticed that in addition to various long and short guns, Yang Feiyi and his team were also equipped with cold weapons such as bows and arrows, which made Yang Feiyi's hands a little itchy.

If Chinese people practice martial arts, few of them have never played with bows and arrows. If we talk about the popularity, bows and arrows are much more popular than guns.

Yang Feiyi did not give Chen Yongsheng too many opportunities to observe. With the help of the residual light of the searchlight, he saw that it was four o'clock. He gently patted the soldiers behind him and tiptoed along the roadbed.

Just one arrangement was eye-opening. Yang Feiyi and his team turned all the orders into gestures, completed the communication arrangement silently, and then the team of only ten people was divided into three groups. It seemed slow but actually disappeared very quickly in the bunkers and military camps set up by the Russians at the bridgehead.

Then there was a long wait. Chen Yongsheng felt that the watch on his wrist was about to break, and the second hand did not move for a long time.

Of course, Chen Yongsheng knew that this was because he was too nervous.

Maybe five minutes later, or ten minutes later, a light suddenly came on at the bunker at the bridgehead, one long and two short. This was a signal discussed in advance, indicating that Yang Feiyi and his team had succeeded.

Chen Yongsheng no longer hesitated, jumped up and quickly charged towards the bunker.

According to the plan, if the scouts completed the attack, it would be Chen Yongsheng's turn. Chen Yongsheng and his men had to defend the bunkers at both ends of the bridge to guard against possible counterattacks by the Russians.

Less than one kilometer away from the bridge, there was a Russian military camp with about a regiment of troops stationed in it. If something happened to the bridge, that regiment would definitely come to support.

Before he reached the bunker, Chen Yongsheng smelled a strong smell of blood. Chen Yongsheng was not unfamiliar with this smell at all, and could even tell that it was quite fresh.

In the bunker, five Russian soldiers died silently. They seemed to have no defense at all. They were all killed with one knife, neat and tidy.

There was even a Russian who fell next to the machine gun at the shooting hole, his finger was even on the trigger guard, but he had no chance to pull the trigger.

When Chen Yongsheng and his team arrived at the bunker, there was no one alive in it, and the scouts had already gone to the next target.

Chen Yongsheng looked at the Russian military camp that seemed to be shrouded in a blood-red twilight, his eyes full of pity.

Not bad, at least these Russians died without pain.
