What is the story behind 'chakde fatte'

I've heard poeple say chakde fatte and even spoke myself many times and whenever I asked why we say that poeple will say that during 1700s sikh used to make temporary bridges made of wooden planks to cross and invade enemies and while returning they would lift the planks rendering the enemies from crossing the bridge. But I don't know the full story behind it. So I really want to know more.
