At about 8 o'clock in the evening, the three infantry battalions, the cavalry battalion, the artillery company, and the guard company of the independent regiment arrived one after another and entered the designated positions to lurk.

Niangzi Pass is known as the ninth level in the world.

In the Battle of Xinkou that year, it was because the Japanese army took the lead in opening the gap from the direction of Niangzi Pass, which led to the complete collapse of the Central Army and the Jin Sui Army in front of Xinkou.

After the Japanese army captured most of Shanxi, they built a stronghold in Niangziguan Town.

However, five days ago, Wang Yan and the Niangzi Pass stronghold were pulled out, and an infantry squad of the Japanese army stationed in the Niangzi Pass stronghold was completely annihilated, and the puppet army was also disarmed.

The Wolf Tooth team blew up the turrets before leaving.

So now, there is no Japanese puppet army stationed in Niangziguan Town.

Even so, Li Yunlong still placed the headquarters two kilometers away.

There is a hill about two kilometers away from Niangziguan Station, called Mianshan.

Li Yunlong's headquarters was set up in a cave at the foot of Mianshan Mountain, and an observation post was also set up on the top of the mountain.

At this time, Li Yunlong and Wang Yan squatted at the observation post on the top of the mountain, and used the 16-fold artillery team mirror captured last time to observe the movement of Niangziguan Station.

"Counselor Wang, this thing really sees more clearly than a telescope."

"Definitely, the telescope is only 4 times, and this artillery team mirror is 16 times."

"Is the reconnaissance team already in place?"

"Two reconnaissance groups are all in place."

"Have both demolition teams been dispatched as well?"

"It's all sent, and I've brought enough explosives to double it."

"Has the telecommunications platoon set up the telephone lines?"

"It's already set up, and I've tried it just now."

"We also need to send people to patrol non-stop to avoid accidents."

"I have already told Platoon Commander Zhang that he will send four communicators to patrol back and forth non-stop to ensure that there are no accidents."

Li Yunlong couldn't help but glance back at Wang Yan, and said in his heart that this dog's staff officer Wang was really handy, as if it was a roundworm in his stomach, and he had thought of everything he was worried about in advance, and had already dealt with it properly.

That's why I said that having a good staff officer is really worry-free, and he Lao Li is picking up treasures.

At that moment, Li Yunlong said: "Counselor Wang, you are staring here, I will go down and squint for a while." ”

With such a reliable staff officer as Wang Yan, Li Yunlong can really rest assured that he can sleep boldly and nourish enough physical strength and energy to cope with this big battle in the second half of the night!

……

At the same time, at the Jingcheng County Railway Station.

Hundreds of Japanese military police surrounded the entire station and imposed martial law.

On platform No. 1, two Japanese soldiers were talking in a low voice.

One of the two lieutenants was the chief of staff of the 4th Brigade, Yuo Hiraku.

The other is the deputy wing commander of the 11th Armored Train Wing directly under the North China Front, Yu Watanabe.

Amid the clattering sound of a steam locomotive tugging, an armored train consisting of six cars slowly drove into the station and parked on platform 1.

The train door opened, and a lieutenant officer walked up to Watanabe and snapped upright, then raised his hand in salute.

Watanabe Xiong returned the salute, and then said: "Katayama-kun, tonight your No. 3 train temporarily joined the patrol between Jingcheng and Yangquan, first run a round trip between Jingcheng and Yangquan, and then meet the freight train at Jingcheng Station, escort the freight train all the way to Yangquan Station, and then return to Baoding. ”

"Hello!" Captain Katayama paused and turned back to the train.

Watanabe Yu turned back to Yuo Hiraku and said, "Hiraku-kun, you should rest assured now, right?" ”

"Hello." Yuo Hiraku nodded slightly, and then said, "Watanabe-kun, thank you so much. ”

"Pinglu-kun is too polite." "After all, it is also the responsibility of our 11th Armored Train Wing to ensure the safety of railway transportation. ”

Yuo Pinglu said sincerely: "Thank you or thank you." ”

Watanabe Xiong smiled and said, "So now, will Ping Lujun go back to Yangquan with the No. 3 car, or will he go back with the car after the freight army arrives?" ”

Pinglu Yongfu said: "I'd better go back with the freight army." ”

Watanabe said: "In this case, I will be out of company first." ”

"Hello." Yuo Hiraku hurriedly said, "Watanabe-kun is busy with you." ”

Sending off Watanabe Xiong, and then watching the No. 3 armored train start again, driving to Yangquan with a puff, Pinglu Yuo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, there are three armored trains patrolling back and forth between Yangquan and Jingcheng non-stop, plus a reinforced squadron escorted by the car on the freight train, there is absolutely no problem.

……

Madun Mountain is a lonely peak in the east of Niangzi Pass.

The Wolf Tooth Squad set up a reconnaissance group on Madun Mountain.

The group, consisting of Wang Hee-kui and Nosaka Kansumi, was responsible for monitoring the trains coming from the direction of Jingcheng.

Anyway, he was idle and had nothing to do, so Wang Xikui asked Nosaka Kuancheng for advice on Japanese, Xizi is a stuffy gourd, usually quiet, but in fact, he is very strong in his heart.

"Instructor Nosaka, how do you say hello Japanese?"

Nosaka Kuancheng said: "There are three sayings, they are Kongni Qiwa, Yuanha, and Kongbang Wow, for example, it's night, then it should be said that Kongbang Wow." ”

"Don't move, what do you say?"

"No pot Kanayi falls!"

"No pot kanayi falls?"

Nosaka suddenly signaled for silence.

Wang Xikui was awe-inspiringly silent, and when he listened closely, he heard a faint clicking sound.

After a few minutes, a beam of snow-bright headlights suddenly shot from the front, although the illumination direction was a few hundred meters away, Wang Xikui and Nosaka Kuancheng still instinctively lay down.

"It's an armored train!" Nosaka Kuancheng said, "Kiko, hurry up and call." ”

Wang Xikui picked up the telephone next to him and said, "Is it a phone class?" Pick up the regimental department. ”

……

The temporary regimental headquarters of Mianshan.

Li Yunlong was already asleep, Zhao Gang had not yet arrived, and only Wang Yan was still standing by the telephone.

The headquarters is located in a natural cave, and there is a turning point after walking in, so there is no need to worry about the light leaking, so two gas lamps are lit inside.

Wang Yan stared at the map and was checking it repeatedly.

Without warning, the phone on the stone platform suddenly rang again.

Wang Yan grabbed the phone and said in a deep voice: "This is the headquarters. ”

"Captain is me, Kiko." Wang Xikui's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, "The armored train from Jingcheng has arrived, and it has just passed us." ”

"I see, keep on your vigilance!"

"Yes!" Wang Xikui agreed and hung up the phone.

Li Yunlong's voice suddenly sounded: "The freight army has arrived?" ”

"It's still early." Wang Yan shook his head and said, "It's only ten o'clock now." ”

"It's only ten o'clock?" Li Yunlong said, "Then I'll sleep for a while." ”

After speaking, Li Yunlong turned over, wrapped in a coat and continued to sleep.

Wang Yan didn't care about him, and continued to check the map repeatedly.

Less than half an hour later, the phone on the desk suddenly rang again.

"Huh?" Wang Yan's brows furrowed suddenly, what's going on?

As soon as he picked up the phone, Wang Xikui's voice immediately sounded: "Captain, no, there is another armored train in the direction of Jingcheng!" ”
