Chapter 235: Fire and Smoke

Sitting in the very shaky carriage, Shirakawa Yong drank the sake in his cup in one gulp, wrapped the military coat on his body tightly, and cursed viciously: "What a bastard!" After mobilizing so many troops to encircle and suppress, some anti-Japanese militants fled into the mountains and forests, and the troops of the imperial army were even attacked by some Chinese farmers and suffered heavy losses...... Even in the face of the regular army of China, I'm afraid it won't play such a record, right? ”

He also drank the sake in the cup, and Nanyuan Heizo, who was sitting opposite Shirakawa Yong, nodded approvingly: "Although it is to implement the public security war plan formulated by His Excellency Okamura, as a small officer of the C Division and holding the position of a local garrison, he can unceremoniously point fingers at the troops directly under the Baoding Garrison Headquarters, which is simply ...... Bastard! ”

Grabbing the wine bottle that was sitting in his hand, Bai Chuanyong poured the wine for Nanyuan Pingsan and shouted fiercely: "And those staff officers stationed by the Baoding Garrison Headquarters are all broken...... Your Excellency Sarutaro, I will be very sad! For this combat operation, has Nan Yuanjun thought about how to report it? ”

Nodding slightly, he thanked Shirakawa Yong, who poured wine for himself, and Nanyuan Heizo replied almost without hesitation: "The focus of the report is naturally the part that has just lost the battle!" A large number of soldiers were shattered, and the ammunition was also consumed terribly...... For those two bastards of the Snow Hidden family, Your Excellency Sarutaro, there must be a corresponding disposition! At the time of the report, I also hope that Shirakawa-kun can ......"

Before the words fell, with a violent explosion, the carriage, which was originally just a little shaky, shook suddenly, and suddenly fell down diagonally!

Involuntarily rolling in the crooked carriage, Shirakawa Isamu and Nan Yuan Heizo screamed and fell with a blue nose and swollen face. And at the other end of the carriage next to Shirakawa Isamu and Nan Yuan Heizo, there was also the screaming of those Japanese soldiers who also fell into a mess.

Reaching out and groping indiscriminately, Shirakawa Yong finally managed to stand firm in the crooked carriage, and while pulling Nanyuan Heizo, who had broken an arm, to stand up, he opened his voice and shouted: "Enemy attack! Combat readiness...... Enemy attack! Ready for battle......."

In the chaotic response, some Japanese soldiers who were still able to move also struggled to stand up in the crooked carriage. Some of the Japanese soldiers were busy helping their comrades who had broken their tendons, while others, who had grabbed their sidearms, swarmed to the door of the carriage, opened the door of the carriage that had been knocked out of shape, and jumped out of the overturned carriage screaming and shouting.

He didn't jump out of the carriage in a hurry like those Japanese soldiers, and he didn't even rush to open the slightly deformed carriage door, but Shirakawa Yong, who was supporting Nanyuan Heizo, cautiously leaned over to the door of the carriage and looked out through the crack of the door that was a full palm wide......

Apparently, the eight-car train, which was clearly overloaded, had been hit by a bomb buried under the tracks. The armored train, which was the first guard, was even blown open through a hole from the bottom of the car to the roof, and slanted into a broken bluestone railway bridge.

The locomotive that followed was apparently not spared complete destruction, and several huge wheels had completely detached from the body of the locomotive, scattered on the snow that had been contaminated with cinders and leaking steam. Half of a Japanese train driver had jumped out of the car, but the other half was stuck in the deformed locomotive, apparently without a little life......

And in the two carriages hanging behind the locomotive, screams and wails are endless. From the cracks in the broken carriage, streams of red blood were slowly flowing onto the snow, quickly freezing into shocking pools of blood ice!

Before Bai Chuanyong could take a closer look at the situation outside the carriage, several Japanese soldiers who were busy jumping out and turning into the carriage had already opened their voices and shouted: "Come out to help!" ”

"Please hold on, I'm here to save you!"

"Where are the health soldiers? Sanitary Corps ......."

Almost at the moment when the Japanese soldiers who were busy jumping out of the carriage shouted indiscriminately, several snorting horsetail grenades were thrown out from both ends of the blown up bluestone bridge, and all of them exploded in mid-air before they could hit the ground. Perhaps knowing that the explosive power of those horsetail grenades was not too strong, the horsetail grenades that were thrown by people were all wrapped in coarse cloth with some stones the size of the belly of the thumb. With the sound of explosions, the Japanese soldiers who hurriedly jumped out of the carriage were suddenly hit by the scattered stones and covered with blood on their faces, and fell to the ground screaming.

The explosion had just sounded, and a burst of gunfire followed, which immediately beat the Japanese soldiers who were crowded into a pile at the door of several carriages and fell down from the carriage door. And after the gunfire of the platoon guns, the long burst fire of the two machine guns unceremoniously sealed the wide open doors of several carriages.

The way out was blocked, and even if you wanted to fight back, you couldn't find a shooting angle at all. Even if a few Japanese soldiers howled and jumped out of the carriage to fight back, as soon as their feet hit the ground, they were knocked to the ground by the ambushers who had been prepared!

Regardless of the sharp pain in the broken arm, Nan Yuan Heizo, who also saw this scene through the crack in the door, laboriously touched out the Nannan-style pistol hanging from his waist with his uninjured left hand, and opened his voice and shouted: "Are they all fools?!" Don't smash the compartment open ....... by slamming it out through the door of the carriage."

The shouts rang out, but Nanyuan Heizo quickly closed his mouth......

In order to ensure the safety of troop carriers, the Japanese army not only put an armored train on the front of the train as a mobile fortress, but even the ordinary carriages were reinforced with heavy wooden planks and dense iron bars. Even if no one bothers and there are enough demolition tools, it may take a lot of time and effort to break down the walls of the carriage. Trying to tear down a car in a short period of time in the event of an attack is tantamount to a dream!

Swallowing his saliva fiercely, Nanyuan Heizo shouted in a low voice to Bai Chuan Yong, who was lying on the crack of the door to observe the movement: "Bai Chuan-kun, I'm afraid that in a short period of time, it will be impossible to organize an effective counterattack!" If we hold on to reinforcements, how long will it take for reinforcements to arrive? ”

Also pulling out the southern-style pistol hanging from his waist, Shirakawa Yong gritted his teeth fiercely: "After an hour, if the next station doesn't see the train arrive, I will call to inquire about the departure in the direction of Qingle County." Plus the time to organize reinforcements to arrive...... After three hours at the saviest, we'll be able to wait for reinforcements! ”

His spirit suddenly perked up, and Nan Yuan Heisan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "If you rely on these sturdy carriages to persevere, three hours is not a difficult task!" If the reinforcements can be more effective, maybe we can wipe out all these anti-Japanese militants who ambushed us......."

As if he had heard a conversation between Minami-Sono Heizo and Isamu Shirakawa, bundles of wheat straw poured with foreign oil and then ignited from the high ground at both ends of the broken bluestone bridge were thrown one after another with a straw fork towards the overturned and crooked carriages. It was just the blink of an eye, and the smoke pouring out of the burning straw bales had wrapped the overturned and crooked carriages tightly!

Coincidentally, the old north wind, which had been blowing for several days, had completely calmed down at this moment, and it did not blow away the smoke at all. And the large depression under the bluestone bridge is like the bottom of a pot of smoke, and the smoke is getting thicker and thicker, so that the Japanese soldiers hidden in the carriage can't open their eyes, and the sound of coughing is even more one after another!

Hurriedly covering his mouth with his clothes, Shirakawa Isamu and Nan Yuan, who were choking on the smoke and communicating with tears, glanced at each other, and each saw a look of horror in each other's eyes......

Even the strongest trench fortifications, strong enough to withstand large-caliber shells, could not provide the slightest cover for the soldiers hidden in the trench fortifications in the face of fire or smoke. And these sturdy train carriages that are now in place, under the attack of thick smoke, will only turn into solid huge coffins!

The only way to survive is to withstand the ambushers who have already occupied the favorable terrain and risk their lives to attack!

Holding back the tearing pain in his throat from the smoke, Isamu Shirakawa and Heizo Nanzono opened their voices almost at the same time and howled: "Assault! All assault ......"

Even if Isamu Shirakawa and Heizono Minami did not give the order for a surprise attack, the Japanese soldiers, who had already made the smoke unbearable, had already jumped out of the carriage and stumbled in the direction of the slightly thinner smoke. Although it was impossible to see where the ambusher was hiding, every Japanese soldier who jumped out of the carriage also held a gun and pulled the trigger in the direction where the ambusher was roughly hiding. A few Japanese soldiers, who were still a little clear-headed, even threw grenades in the direction where the ambushers were roughly ambushed. But in the chaotic sound of gunfire and occasional grenade explosions, the two machine guns in the ambusher's control always fired unhurriedly and long-burst, knocking down one after another Japanese soldiers who had just rushed out of the smoke and had not had time to see their direction clearly.

Dragging a broken arm of Minamizono Heizo out of the carriage, Shirakawa did not follow the Japanese soldiers blindly to launch a surprise attack outside the smoke-shrouded range, but instead hurriedly lay on the snow, wrapped some snow with his coat and covered his mouth and nose, and breathed hard the barely filtered air.

Throwing aside the southern-style pistol in his hand, Nanyuan Heizo, who was doing the same, took a few breaths of air that still smelled of smoke, and then whispered to Shirakawa Yong who was lying beside him: "Shirakawa-kun, the soldiers' assault doesn't seem to have worked, let's ......"

Stretching out his finger and pointing to the gap under the overturned carriage that could barely allow people to climb through, Shirakawa Yong also subconsciously lowered his voice: "In the face of this irreversible predicament, let's retreat...... At least we can bring in reinforcements earlier......."

Although this excuse for fleeing for his life was really absurd, listening to the continuous screams of the Japanese soldiers who were anxious to break out of the smoke, Nanyuan Heizo still nodded busily: "That's true!" Shirakawa-kun, let's evacuate quickly! As a samurai, it's really not advisable for a dog to die......"

Like a panicked dog, Bai Chuanyong and Nan Yuanping crawled through the gap under the carriage three times in a row, and almost crawled close to the snow for a distance of dozens of meters, which can be regarded as lying on the other side of the bluestone bridge that was blown up. But before Shirakawa Yong and Nanyuan Heizo stood up from the snow, a man like an angry King Kong suddenly jumped out of the snow, and the big guillotine in his hand struck a lightning bolt in mid-air with a whistling wind: "Look where are you running on a dog day?!" ”
