Chapter 181: Still Chance (Part 1)
Li Yunlong suddenly sat up with a bone: "Staff Officer Wang, is there a situation?" ”
Wang Yan said: "There is an unexpected situation, the devil has temporarily added an armored train!" ”
"What? Temporarily added an armored train? Li Yunlong's brows furrowed, "What is the situation now, is there still a chance to do it?" ”
Wang Yan didn't answer right away, and began to calculate nervously.
After a while, he got up and said: "If the three armored trains are patrolling at certain intervals, then we can still find a gap in time, and there is still a chance." ”
"What if?" Li Yunlong, "What do you mean, there are other situations?" ”
"Yes." Wang Yan nodded, "There is also a worst-case scenario!" ”
While speaking, Wang Yan spread out the map while brushing, then pointed to the map and said: "The worst case is that the newly added armored train does not have a fixed patrol time!" Then it is possible that this armored train will arrive at Niangziguan Station with the freight train! ”
"Damn!" Li Yunlong's face immediately fell, and he said in a deep voice, "In other words, in addition to sending two patrolmen to patrol along the railway line, the little devil in Shanxi also specially sent a bodyguard to follow the freight train!" If we want to attack the freight train, we must even fight the bodyguards! That's what it means, right? ”
"Yes!" Wang Yan nodded and said, "No surprise, that's it!" ”
As he was talking, footsteps sounded outside the cave, and then Zhao Gang hurried in.
"Lao Li, Counselor Wang." Zhao Gang greeted and said, "The people are all in place!" ”
After saying that, Zhao Gang found that Li Yunlong and Wang Yan didn't look right, so he asked, "Old Li, what's wrong?" ”
Wang Yan smiled bitterly and said: "Political commissar, there is an unexpected situation, the Japanese army in Shanxi has temporarily added an armored train, and this armored train is very likely to move with the freight train. ”
"What?" Zhao Gang was stunned and said, "Then isn't this operation in vain?" ”
"Who said this operation was in vain?" Li Yunlong said, "It's a big deal, even the armored train will be fought together!" ”
"No, I can't agree to that." Zhao Gang said categorically, "The armored train can't be hit, and it can't be hit!" With just a few mortars of ours, we can't help the armored train of the little devils at all! ”
"That can't just be left at that." Li Yunlong said coldly, "If you don't bite the meat that is delivered to your mouth, is it still an independent group?" Is that still me Li Yunlong? ”
Zhao Gang said: "The problem is that this piece of meat has thorns!" Teeth! ”
Li Yunlong said: "I still don't believe it, can I still break Lao Tzu's front teeth?" ”
At this time, Wang Yan suddenly said: "Political commissar, in fact, we may not have no chance!" ”
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang turned their heads and asked in unison, "Counselor Wang, do you have a way?" ”
Wang Yan said: "There is one way, but it is more risky, and the requirements for the 1st demolition team are especially high!" But if there is even the slightest error, it will fall short. ”
……
Yuo Hiraku waited at the Jingcheng train station until midnight in the morning.
At midnight, the freight train from Zhengding finally entered the station and stopped at platform 1.
The door of one of the cars opened, and Yuo Hiraku, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately boarded the train.
After getting on the train, Hiraku Yuo found that there were nearly 100 Japanese soldiers sitting in the carriage, which were not baggage troops, but infantry sent by the North China Front.
This time, the infantry in charge of the armed escort had a reinforced squadron.
In addition to the carriage where Isamu Hiraku was, there was also a carriage in the back that also hid nearly 100 Japanese soldiers.
Hiding troops in the carriages of freight trains has become a routine operation of the Japanese army, which is forced by the railway guerrillas in various parts of the Eighth Route Army.
Because there were often guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army who picked up trains and stole materials.
Later, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army began armed robbery.
In order to deal with the looting behavior of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese army came up with the trick of hiding soldiers in the carriage.
Not to mention, after this trick, the number of freight trains being robbed has been greatly reduced, and the loss of materials for railway transportation has also been greatly reduced.
And this time, the First Army arranged three armored trains.
Therefore, Yuo Hiraku felt that there would never be another accident.
Pinglu Yongfu even hoped that the Eighth Route Army would come to fight this freight train.
In this way, you can give the Eighth Route Army a dismount before the spring counter-sweep, and you can also save a little face for the 4th Brigade.
Not long after, the No. 3 car of the 11th Armored Train Wing returned to Jingcheng Station.
After a short rest, the freight train followed the No. 3 train from Jingcheng Railway Station and headed for Yangquan.
After the departure of the train, the door closed, and the carriage immediately darkened, only the dim street lamp light penetrated through the small ventilation window, and after a while, as the train gradually left the Jingcheng railway station, even the street lights were gone.
The carriage fell into complete darkness, and Ping Lu Yong simply leaned against the iron wall of the carriage and took a nap.
……
Meanwhile.
In car No. 3 of the 11th Armored Train Wing, there was a different scene.
Yuo Hiraku looked very nervous, but the railway soldiers on car No. 3 were not nervous at all, and they only regarded this trip to Yangquan as an ordinary task.
The wing establishment of the armored train is similar to that of cavalry and baggage soldiers, and there is no brigade level at the bottom, but directly under the jurisdiction of several railway squadrons, and a squadron is a train.
Each train has between 6 and 9 cars, and car 3 has 6 cars.
The first section is a material car, which is loaded with sleepers, rails and other materials for the repair of the railway.
The second section is a light armored compartment with two Type 92 heavy machine guns, four crooked light machine guns, and four grenadiers.
The third section is a heavy armored compartment with 2 Type 41 75mm caliber mountain guns.
The fourth section is the command vehicle, the fifth section is the power locomotive, and the sixth section is the coal water truck.
In addition, on the roof of the coal water truck, there are two heavy machine gun nests, equipped with two heavy machine guns.
With such a column of armored vehicles, the firepower intensity is almost catching up with an infantry brigade of the Japanese army! And there is also strong armor with a thickness of more than 10mm, which is enough to withstand almost all the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, the railroad soldiers on car No. 3 were not worried at all.
Squadron Leader Captain Shimazu was even in the mood for a little drink.
The fourth section command car also doubles as a dining car and has a kitchen.
Captain Shimazu asked the cooking squad to cook a few hot dishes, and while he was drinking with a few officers, the No. 2 carriage in front of him suddenly opened fire, and the sudden sound of gunfire ruined the atmosphere.
"Yaga!" Captain Shimazu snapped his glass and stood up.
After a while, a private of the second class hurried into the command car.
