The Watergate Bridge in history is the only way for American troops to withdraw southward. Escaping means that they can reach the end of their escape smoothly, because it is only 60 kilometers away from Nanxing Port, and all the way is Pingchuan Avenue. There is nowhere to run, and the Marine 1 Division may disappear.
The historic Watergate Bridge was bombed.
It was a reconnaissance detachment of the 60th Army of the Volunteers who blew up the Watergate Bridge for the first time in history. This time, it only destroyed the bridge deck. The U.S. military was quickly restored to traffic and was able to pass a heavy truck, which greatly exceeded the expectations of the volunteers.
The second bombing of the Watergate Bridge in history was on February 4, 65438, the night when the deck of the Watergate Bridge was repaired. This time, the damage to the bridge was more thorough than the first one, but the bridge was repaired and opened to traffic by American engineers again, and it could still pass through the steel-wood bridge of the tank.
The third bombing of the Watergate Bridge in history was completed with the cooperation of the investigation team and the 7 th Company of the 240 th Regiment of the 80 th Division of the Volunteers who came to reinforce. This time, the newly-built bridge was bombed together with the pedestal, and they also made great sacrifices. They thought that the U.S. army's escape route to the south had been cut off, and the American First Marine Division could not escape the fate of being annihilated by volunteers.
