Chapter 57: Night Killing (4)
Zhuo Fei wanted to ask Zhuo Yan, who had knocked him down, what the rocket had hit, but he also knew that this would not be the time to ask. From the beginning of the explosion, Zhuo Fei and the two did not dare to move on their stomachs, until the explosion stopped, and Zhuo Fei, who poked his head over the broken wall, had an intuitive understanding of this continuous and violent explosion.
The buildings on the opposite platform were gone, the rails near the opposite platform were badly distorted, all kinds of munitions and spare parts were scattered everywhere, the wooden planks were ignited by the heat, the flames tumbled and rose, emitting a scorching heat wave, and the smoke obscured the sky, shrouded the station, and continued to expand the area.
Zhuo Fei and the others came out from behind the broken wall with a disgraced face, standing in place and looking around, the station was full of flames and smoke, and a figure could be vaguely seen shaking, but they couldn't distinguish their identities. After a short pause, the two of them walked forward briskly with a dark face smoked by black smoke, and there were still many carriages in the station that were safe and sound, and Zhuo Fei planned to destroy all of them before evacuating. There was a faint sound of gunfire not far away, but Zhuo Fei hesitated for a moment, and handed over the entire package of bombs he took out of his space to Zhuo Yan.
"Stones, throw these bombs into those carriages, I'll go ahead and have a look." Handing over the backpack containing the bomb to Zhuo Yan, Zhuo Fei, who was carrying an assault rifle, ran forward quickly. Before he could run a few steps away, Zhuo Fei saw two Japanese soldiers with rifles crashing out of the smoke, "pop" Zhuo Fei took the first shot to put down the one closest to him, and the other Japanese soldier fired a shot in a panic, but the bullet didn't know where it went. Zhuo Fei rushed up and knocked down the other party with the butt of his gun, but before he could draw back his rifle to replenish the gun on the other side, another person rushed out of the smoke and almost hit Zhuo Fei's body.
Zhuo Fei immediately let go of the rifle and reached out to touch the pistol on his leg, but was hugged by the Japanese soldier who fell to the ground, and the two fell to the ground together. Zhuo Fei secretly screamed badly, but when he fell to the ground, the elbow of his right hand that touched the gun was struck by the masonry scattered on the ground, so that his right hand could not draw the pistol out in time. The Japanese soldier who almost collided with Zhuo Fei reacted and raised his gun to stab, but fortunately, Zhuo Fei turned sideways after falling to the ground, and the bayonet from the other party pierced the air.
"Die." Zhuo Fei failed to pull out the pistol on his leg, but he picked up a piece of brick on his side in time and threw it out. With a scream of "ah", the brick was smashed on the face of the Japanese soldier, and when the other party reached out to cover his face, the rifle in his hand fell at Zhuo Fei's feet. With a muffled shout, Zhuo Fei hit the Japanese soldier holding his thigh in the face with a headbuttle, although he couldn't shake off the other party's embrace, but Zhuo Fei's right hand had already pulled out the Type 92 pistol on his leg.
"Bang" was shot by Zhuo Fei first The Japanese soldier who was hit by a brick on his face, while the other Japanese soldier who held Zhuo Fei's thigh and did not let go was smashed by Zhuo Fei with the handle of the pistol. Zhuo Fei, who was panting, struggled to push away the Japanese soldier who was pressing on his body, got up from the ground and gasped, only to find that the Japanese soldier who had his head smashed was not dead, but was actually struggling to open his eyes and struggle to get up. Zhuo Fei's face immediately showed a sinister smile, he took the bayonet from the rifle on the ground, and then smiled and plunged the bayonet into the man's chest little by little. Although the Japanese soldier with a bloody face had used all his strength to hold the bayonet with both hands, trying to stop the bayonet from falling, he could not prevent it from sliding into his body inch by inch.
Zhuo Fei pinned the enemy to the ground with a cruel smile, and then sat on the ground, only to feel that all the strength of his body seemed to be consumed. After coming to this world, the opportunity to fight face-to-face is not uncommon, but it is not as intense as this time, if it is not just knocked on a brick next to him, he may have confessed here.
In the map system opened by Zhuo Fei, most of the red dots within a radius of 5 kilometers are on the edge of the map system, and there are few red dots left here at the railway station. Relying on the help of the map system, Zhuo Fei shuttled back and forth in the railway station against the diffused smoke and dust, and the sparse gunfire gradually stopped, in Zhuo Fei's map system, the Japanese puppet army here at the railway station had already been reduced to single digits.
"Brother, a lot of medicines have been found." Together with Zhuo Yan, the latter had already used up the bomb in the backpack, and Zhuo Yan felt very sorry for the large amount of medicine he found. Zhuo Fei didn't want to waste these medicines in vain, so he used his personal space to collect some of the medicines, but even so, the remaining medicines were enough for Zhuo Fei and the two to secretly say that it was a pity.
"Let's go, the Japanese army in the city will be coming." Zhuo Fei and the others stayed here at the train station long enough, and the Japanese puppet army in the city must have heard the explosion in the train station, and Zhuo Fei was not arrogant enough to face all the Japanese puppet army troops in the entire Shijiazhuang city. Soon after the two withdrew from the railway station with the way they came, the Japanese puppet army who rushed to the station after hearing the news rushed to the chaotic railway station.
Zhuo Fei's attack on the Japanese command post caused the highest-ranking Japanese officer in the Japanese puppet army in the city to be only a young officer, but even so, the Japanese puppet army in the city reacted quickly. "Battalion Commander Qiao, your troops are pursuing along the railway line, Ono-kun, you lead a team to blockade and search the area around the train station, and the rest are under my command, before dawn, we must find the attacker." The Japanese army Shao Zuo, who led the command, made arrangements, but he never expected that Zhuo Fei would leave him a big gift at the train station.
From the map system, I saw that a large number of Japanese puppet troops rushed to the train station and stayed at the dilapidated platform, and Zhuo Fei, who had been waiting outside Zhuo Station, pressed the button of the remote control. "Boom", "boom", "boom" There was another explosion in the railway station, and compared with the previous two explosions, although the explosion was not so loud, the explosion lasted for a long time. The dazzling firelight turned the train station red, and under the light of the fire, the column of smoke rising into the air almost engulfed the train station completely.
The sound of gunfire and explosions made the people in the city anxious all night, and when the sky was bright and the heavy rain stopped, the people in the city who should have gone out early to beg for a living did not go out, and the whole city of Shijiazhuang was silent. The exhausted Japanese puppet soldiers had already blocked the streets and alleys of the city, and from the dawn of the day, they went from house to house to investigate. The Japanese puppet army's interrogation operation lasted until lunchtime, but there was no substantive result, which made the Japanese puppet army officers in the city very annoyed.
Last night, the Japanese command post was attacked, and more than 20 high-ranking officers under the commander of the front army, Jun Tada, were killed, and more than 200 imperial soldiers guarding the Japanese command post were broken. Then the train station was attacked again, not to mention that the more than 200 Japanese puppet soldiers guarding the train station were all killed, but the destroyed materials and facilities were enough to make the Japanese puppet army in the city angry, but unfortunately, they have not been able to find out the clues related to the attackers.
The tragic situation in Shijiazhuang was transmitted to Nanjing, and the military intelligence station hidden in the city also reported the incident to Chongqing by radio. The joint command headquarters that learned of this quickly reacted and urgently ordered the troops of the Eighth Route Army, which had been originally deployed in Shanxi, to advance to Yangquan and make a posture of wanting to attack Shijiazhuang, while Yan Xishan's Jin Sui Army also sent five regiments of troops from Licheng to attack Handan.
The Chinese wanted to counterattack Hebei, which was the first reaction of the Japanese command in Nanjing, and at this time when the top echelons of the North China Front were being put to rest, it was not difficult to analyze the purpose of the reaction of the Chinese army. Of course, Hebei could not be lost, and the Japanese army did not dare to lose Hebei, but before the Japanese army headquarters could react, dozens of guerrilla forces suddenly appeared in the entire Hebei region. The larger guerrillas ranged in size from several hundred to a dozen in smaller guerrillas, but their style was the same, wreaking havoc on the military installations of the Japanese puppet army while killing Japanese puppet soldiers.
In just three days, the entire Hebei region has become a pot of porridge, a large number of Japanese puppet soldiers have been shot and killed by guerrilla forces, and even some bandit forces that have long disappeared have also emerged under the banner of expelling the Japanese invaders. Once the Japanese puppet army in the defense area sends troops to wipe out these guerrillas or bandit forces, they will be ambushed by other armed forces along the road, but once the main force of the Japanese puppet army in the defense area cannot retreat, the strongholds they have arranged in the edge of the defense area will be dealt a destructive blow.
"Bage Yalu, it must not be tolerated, and we must give the people of China a stern lesson." Bad news one after another, the Japanese army headquarters reactivated Okamura Ningji, who was originally transferred back to the mainland, and Okamura Ningji, who hurried to Nanjing, was very troubled by the continuous bad news, and before he arrived in Shijiazhuang, he had already made an attitude of going to a head-on confrontation with the Chinese army.
"The little devils are good at fighting, but why should we have a head-to-head duel with them? The current situation is clearly in our favor, and the most important thing is to expand and consolidate our base areas before the Japanese army really reacts. "The decision made by the Joint Command is also very bizarre: instead of ordering the front-line troops to take the initiative, they ordered the guerrilla units active in the enemy-occupied areas to intensify their harassment and take the opportunity to expand the area of activity of the guerrilla forces.
