Chapter 579 579 We Killed

On the east side of the Donghe Bridge, densely packed Qi troops crowded the road. An officer caught up with his troops and asked loudly why these stagnant soldiers stayed where they were: "Why did you stop? Huh?"

According to the plan, his troops crossed the Donghe Bridge and headed west all the way, and they could arrive at Wangcheng this afternoon.But it was almost noon now, and they were still wasting time near the Donghe Bridge, just messing around.

Who doesn't know that during a war, not a minute or a second can be wasted, and every hour may determine the outcome of a war.

A junior officer ran over in a panic, and Lizhenghui reported: "My lord! The defenders in the bridgehead of the Donghe Bridge opened fire on us, and we had to withdraw."

He was also at a loss. Originally, there should be a battalion of the Qi army stationed here, but logically speaking, it is almost impregnable.

Relying on such strong fortifications, even if Tang's troops really came to kill them, they would not lose their position so quickly.

Hearing what his subordinates said, the general who came to inquire about the situation frowned, with a look of disbelief on his face: "The defenders of Donghe Bridge opened fire on you?"

"Yes, more than 80 of us were killed." The officer nodded and pointed in the direction of the bridge.He really didn't lie, the vanguard walked over foolishly, and the other party started shooting directly, making them run away with their heads in their arms...

The soldiers of the Qi army who didn't know what to do were thrown into confusion. The people in front were killed, and the rest of them scrambled and crawled along the railway embankment while looking for cover and retreated. When they came back to check, the front company basically was disabled.

"Impossible! This place is already close to the royal city, how could there be enemies!" Hearing what his subordinates said, the general couldn't believe it even more.

You must know that this is Donghe Bridge, and a little further ahead is Wangcheng.If Tang Jun appears here, does that mean that the royal city has been lost?
For him, this is simply impossible.Although he already knew the news of Qi Wang Jiangxian's death, he still didn't think that there would be a large number of troops from the Tang army here.

"We don't know either." Faced with the officer's question, the officer of Qi State was also dizzy.What he knows may not be as much as the officer in front of him.

Suddenly, the general who was loyal to the second prince realized the crux of the matter: the one who prevented them from returning to the royal city may not be the Tang army, but it may also be the eldest prince's people!

It is possible that the eldest prince knew that he could not rush back to the royal city faster than the second prince, so he deliberately notified his cronies in the royal city and led his troops to block the Donghe Bridge!

Thinking of this, he immediately realized.

This is a fight for storage!

So he immediately looked at his subordinates wisely, and ordered firmly: "It must not be an enemy! Most likely, it is the work of the prince's cronies! They want to stop us and prevent His Majesty from returning to the royal city!"

Fighting Tang Jun and beating his own people are two different things. He may not have the courage to fight Tang Jun, but he not only has the courage to fight his own people for reserves, but he is very brave...

The subordinates also reacted, and seemed to be less scared: "You are right! It must be so!"

What the officer said made him forget that the unique sound of the other party firing like a cloth tearing machine was not available in the Qi army!
Somewhat dissatisfied, he dismissed the cowardice of his subordinates, and the general of the Qi State picked up his binoculars and looked at the bridgehead in the distance: "Get out of the way! Bastard!"

After looking at it twice, he put down the binoculars, and ordered: "Assemble the troops! Charge to me! I want to take a look and see what their plans are!"

"Yes!" The officer who heard the order immediately began to dispatch troops, waiting for the infantry of Qi State on both sides of the railway to gather under a single order, and then rushed to the bridgehead again with weapons in dense numbers.

They still have no heavy fire support, because their heavy artillery is still on the way, they can only rely on their numerical advantage to face the machine guns that have been set up on the bridgehead.

In the solid bunker, a paratrooper platoon leader of the Tang Army saw through the perforation the approaching Qi army, and immediately reminded his subordinates loudly: "Attention! The Qi army is coming up!"

With shoulders against the MG-42 machine gun, the paratrooper's machine gunner bared his front teeth: "Hey hey hey, you're here to die again! Get ready to fight!"

He pulled the trigger, put his face on the butt of the gun, and aimed through the front sight at the troops of Qi State who were already close to the broken barbed wire in front.

In the trenches set up by the people of Qi, a company commander held a submachine gun and ordered in a low voice, "Don't fire yet, shoot closer! Kill a few more!"

Right in front of the trench, some troops from the Qi State had already crossed the barbed wire fence, and carefully approached the trench piled with sandbags with their weapons in hand.

"Hold on! Hold on!" With his face stuck to the sandbag, he looked at the commander of the paratrooper battalion of the Qi State Army through a gap in the back line of defense, muttering incessantly.

In the next second, the paratrooper company commander who was guarding the machine gun shooter loudly gave the order to fire: "Front machine gun! Fire!"

The amount of ammunition carried by their paratroopers is limited. Although they have received some supplements, they still have to use their own ammunition sparingly.

So they put the enemy at a fairly close distance before firing. Anyway, their firepower density was sufficient, and they didn't worry at all that the Qi people would rush into the trenches because the distance was too close.

The next second after the order to fire was given, the sound of the tearing machine echoed across the battlefield.

"Tu chu chu!" The unique voice continued, and the bullet rushed into the crowd in an instant, and the blood sprayed out after the bullet pierced the body was everywhere for a while.

The shooter covering the machine gun position also poked his head out, held a Thomson submachine gun and pulled the trigger on the Qi army in the distance.

The density of firepower doubled in an instant, and a large number of Qi soldiers who were crossing the barbed wire fell down in one fell swoop.

"Ah!" Immediately afterwards, the screams began to appear, and the wounded who fell on the ground let out a cry of pain, and more people fell down subconsciously, and no one continued to move forward.

"Retreat! Retreat!" The officer of Qi State, frightened by the head-on firepower, lay on the ground and loudly ordered his troops to leave this death zone.

But it was easy for him to shout, who would dare to stand up and run backwards at such a time?Everyone lay on the ground, using the corpses as makeshift shelters.

Regrettably, on the bridgeheads on both sides, the concealed machine gun positions of the Tang army were condescending, and they could clearly see the soldiers of the Qi army lying on the ground.

As if they were shooting a target, they killed the Qi soldiers who were lying on the ground and dared not move one by one.

The soldiers of Qi State, who had always thought that their own people were beating their own people, were furious, and those who were still lying on the ground cursed one after another: "Damn, they are still firing! You son of a bitch! Fight back! Kill them!" them!"

The commanders of the Qi Kingdom only reacted when they heard the cursing, and immediately someone began to surrender loudly: "You, the eldest prince, listen up! It is useless for you to resist! Surrender! Your Majesty promises to never blame the past!"

They felt that everyone came out to work hard for the sake of glory and wealth, and what the eldest prince can give, the second prince can also give.

As long as the other party lets them go, return to the king city, and support the second prince to succeed him, everything can be discussed.Isn't it just asking for money?Isn't it just for status?Just give it.

"The second prince is about to become His Majesty! Follow the second prince, and you will have all the glory and wealth! Let us go! Everyone will be rewarded!" At first, they called His Majesty directly, fearing that the people on the opposite side could not understand, they explained again.

Although the second prince has not ascended the throne yet, like the eldest prince, he has already regarded himself as His Majesty.

At the beginning, Tang Jun was confused, but after listening again, he finally understood what Qi Jun was saying.

It’s okay if I didn’t understand it, but when I understood it, these paratroopers who had been fighting for so many days immediately laughed wantonly: “Hahaha!”

"What are they shouting?" The paratrooper battalion commander of the Tang Army on the ground couldn't hear the content of the other party's shouting, and looked at the one with good ears next to him.

The soldier looked at his battalion commander dumbfounded, and said, "They asked His Majesty to promise that the past will not be blamed! They also promised to give us glory and wealth."

"Your Majesty?" The battalion commander was a little confused—wasn't King Qi killed by them?
"What is the second prince, he will soon become His Majesty." The soldier explained again.

The battalion commander couldn't bear it any longer, with an evil look on his face: "Arrange someone with a loud voice and tell them that we killed their former king Jiang Xian!"

"Hahaha!" Hearing what his battalion commander said, the paratroopers next to him immediately laughed badly.The battalion commander of his own family is really a panda order, and the bamboo shoots have arrived home.

"Soldiers of the State of Qi! Surrender! We are paratroopers of the Tang Dynasty! Our king of Qi, Jiang Xian, was killed by us!" Soon, a loud voice yelled from above the bridgehead.

When he shouted, the gunshots even stopped, and the slightly hoarse voice echoed over the battlefield, making the Qi army trembling in fright.

"What!" After hearing the content of the shouting clearly, an officer of the Qi State turned pale.He heard everything clearly, but still couldn't believe his ears.

"They, what are they shouting?" Farther away, the general of the Qi army who supervised the battle was also asking the people around him.

Soon, all the attacking soldiers of the Qi army collapsed. They only now knew that it was this group of Tang troops who killed their former king!
An officer of the Qi State got up desperately and ran back: "Retreat! They are the Tang army, not our own!"

"Damn it!" The rest of the Qi soldiers also started to run.

Machine guns started roaring behind them, but these Qi soldiers couldn't care about anything, they ran desperately, desperately, just wanting to stay away from the devil behind them.
