Heaven and Earth (Part I)

"Company commander, the train is coming soon," a soldier of the Eighth Route Army walked through the yellow bushes with his waist over, and white smoke was constantly spewing out of his mouth, "It's almost a thousand meters away from here, and there is an ironclad patrol car in front of it."

"Got it," Zhang Songling stretched out his hand and patted the soldier's shoulder, and ordered with a smile, "Hurry up and squat down and drink saliva, the feast has already been prepared for the little devil."

"Yes," the young soldier whispered, taking the kettle from his comrade, panting and drinking

"Xiao Chen, you are responsible for the observation Xiao Huang, this time you come to detonate Remember, you must wait for the ironclad car to cross the fourth pier before exploding " Glancing back at the eager soldiers behind him, Zhang Songling calmly arranged

"Yes, company commander" The soldiers agreed, skillfully grabbed the binoculars, improvised knives and other items, and began to make the final preparations before the blasting in an orderly manner As long as there is Zhang Songling, a fat student company and a deputy, they feel very down-to-earth in their hearts In the past, everyone blew up the bridge and piled up seven or eight explosives bags, but they may not be able to blow it up, and since the fat student company came, only two explosive bags are needed each time, and no matter how strong the bridge is, it can blow up to the sky at once, and everyone no longer has to risk being beaten into a sieve by the machine gun on the ironclad patrol car Pull the fuse at close range, but hide far away in the dense forest near the explosion point, press the electric switch knife in your hand, and you can't even use half a second from the time you start to hear the explosion, and you will definitely not let the little devil escape because of the delay of the fuse

"After the bridge is blown up, don't be busy carrying supplies with others," Zhang Songling squatted down and checked the self-made battery detonator again while whispering, "Go straight to the front of the train and destroy the boiler for me, and the ironclad car, if the machine gun on it is not broken, take the wrench and take it away, Company Commander Liu of the machine gun company, said, If we get him another one, he will give our spy a big fat pig."

"Got it, company commander, you wait and see," the soldiers replied loudly, and the expressions on their faces became more and more relaxed

The Japanese armored patrol vehicle is very bulky, and it is usually equipped with one or two Type 91 vehicle-mounted light machine guns, although the gun is only a short butt version of the crooked handle, because the output is relatively small, so the workmanship is far better than that of its own relatives, and it has many advantages such as large ammunition load, low failure rate, and high shooting accuracy, and there is also a 2.5 times telescopic scope above the machine gun, which greatly improves the attack distance and killing range of the gun, so every captured one is regarded as a treasure by the combat units of the Eighth Route Army Never again discarded like an ordinary crooked handle

The spy company led by Zhang Songling has recently shown its skills on the railroad and captured several Japanese vehicle-mounted machine guns, but compared to the needs of the entire 24th Regiment, it is absolutely a drop in the bucket

Zhao Baoquan, the company commander of the spy company, was a veteran Red Army soldier who had gone through the test of the Long March, and he couldn't pull his face down and openly accepted "bribes," so he put all the blame on Zhang Songling, who was assigned to the company as a tactical guide and a graduate intern; anyway, the latter was a temporary establishment, and sooner or later he would have to go back to the headquarters to redeploy his work, and no one was willing to take it seriously if he did something that violated discipline during the internship

Not only did the soldiers around him like this fat company with a flexible mind and a lot of tricks in fighting devils, but the commanders of the brothers' units also admired this little fat man with a bold temperament, politeness and enthusiasm, and if it hadn't been for the fact that the division headquarters had already greeted him, and the distribution power of the military academy graduates was completely in the hands of the military region headquarters, the people who poached the horns would have formed a long line, and as soon as Zhang Fatzi's internship period ended, he would have been immediately taken under his command and waited for him to a high position

"It's coming, it's coming, good guy, it's a stocky one this time," the low exclamation in his ears quickly pulled Zhang Songling's gaze to the bridge deck five hundred meters away In the meager twilight, a train of Japanese army Type 95 railroad track patrol cars wrapped in thick iron armor slowly came to the front of the front of the car, and the left and right shooting holes each poked out a blue and faint barrel, and found that there was a wind and grass It was a wild sweep

"Da da....." The bullet swept over the heads of the group and shot down a bunch of branches with ice cubes Clouds of water vapor rose on the trunk of the tree Shrouded the originally small forest in white smoke Seeing this scene, the machine gunner of the devil became more and more worried in his heart Splashing bullets like money without money Not letting go of every possible hiding place

Xiao Huang, who was holding the electric switch, snorted softly and fell softly, and the blood in his chest was gushing Immediately, a soldier quickly took his place Holding the blood-stained gate knife with one hand The body is as stable as Mount Tai Xiao Chen shrunk his shoulders and continued to whisper the number "There are still fifty meters, forty meters, twenty meters, ten, five, detonation."

"Boom" As the electric gate fell, the entire bridge rose into the air, and the ironclad patrol car, which had been showing off its might, was thrown up by the air wave like a wooden toy, rolled twice in succession, and then plunged into the river in early spring

The ground under his feet was smashed, shaking like chaff, followed by an even more violent wave of trembling, "Boom, boom", the ground shook the mountain, and the material transport army following behind the ironclad patrol car had no time to brake, and it also fell headlong into the river, and its huge body smashed the ice to pieces, and the ice and water splashed more than three feet in the air

......Dozens of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army in gray-blue military uniforms, under the leadership of Zhao Baoquan, commander of the special service company, picked up their bright bayonets and suddenly got out of the ground only more than 100 meters away from the bridgehead, and rushed towards the military column like a fly, and a small group of devil soldiers in charge of escorting the car were killed by at least half of them, and the rest also broke their arms and legs, and their heads were bleeding Stand waist-deep in the icy water and resist stubbornly

In the face of the thunderous offensive, their resistance was like snow foam in the sun, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed to the designated carriage according to Zhang Songling's arrangement in advance, smashed the car door, cleared the remnants of the enemy inside, and then carried out boxes of medicines and bundles of uniforms and placed them on the shore, waiting for the local departments to organize the people to quickly transfer the supplies

Zhang Songling and the demolition platoon were the farthest away from the river, and they came the slower, and when they arrived, the entire train had been cleared of the enemy, and only the ironclad patrol car that fell in the middle of the river had not bothered to clean up, and half of the car was exposed on the water, and red blood was constantly coming out from the muzzle of the machine gun

"Xiao Chen, you take a squad to dismantle the machine gun, pay attention to safety, encounter a suspicious target, shoot first and then question," Zhang Songling pointed to the patrol car, arranged for people to deal with the patrol car, and walked quickly to the position of the locomotive, opened the car door, jumped into the inclined cab, skillfully turned the drain valve on the side of the boiler, and discharged the boiling hot water into the river from the corresponding pipe at the head of the steam locomotive

Immediately after that, he grabbed a shovel again, filled the hearth with dozens of kilograms of high-quality lignite, turned and jumped out, and quickly walked away with the brethren, billowing smoke spewed out from the chimney, and soared high, and the steam boiler made of steel emitted a series of mournful screams, like the last ** of the beast before dying, and suddenly, the locomotive trembled, and all the screams ceased, and blue-gray smoke and white water vapor came out of the inside of the locomotive, turning the whole locomotive into a huge steamer (Note 1)

Zhang Songling clapped his hands with satisfaction, and continued to walk towards the armored patrol car with the brothers of the demolition platoon, and the locomotive behind him no longer had to care about it, and after such a toss, no matter how good the engineer was, he could not repair the front of the car, and then the little devil reinforcements who rushed to hear the news could only drag it back to the furnace, or let it continue to lie in the river, exposed to the sun and rain, and completely turned into a pile of scrap metal

In the middle of the river, Xiao Chen and a squad of soldiers had already opened the roof of the ironclad patrol car and got into the compartment, and soon, a complete vehicle-mounted light machine gun and a light machine gun with a deformed barrel but still possible repair were relayed out by the soldiers, followed by two large boxes of 6.5 mm bullets, with tens of thousands of rounds, all of which glowed with a warm yellow light, and then Xiao Chen himself climbed out of the roof of the patrol car with a dying ghost soldier on his back, and beckoned to the brothers around him with difficulty, "Help me pull him, it seems that there is still salvation." Our head ..... last time"

"Bah" His words were interrupted by a gunshot, and a stream of dirty blood came out of the head of the little devil on his back, and he was angry on the spot, "You .....!" Xiao Chen was taken aback and glared at Zhang Songling, but the latter jumped forward with an arrow and quickly broke the little devil's palm

A Japanese-style grenade that had been pulled out more than half of the insurance appeared in front of everyone, Zhang Songling kicked the grenade into the river with his flying feet, and then gave Xiao Chen a neck hug, "Looking for death, you told you to shoot first and then ask questions, why don't you listen?"

"I, I'm ....." Xiao Chen, who had been beaten, covered his face and was embarrassed, "Last time, the regiment commander said that he would catch a few live ones and hand them over to the military region to form a Japanese awakening brigade, I...."

"Stupid" Zhang Songling is another gentle neck hug It is not so much a fight as a reassurance "You don't look at the target of the arrest Those Japanese military doctors and railway mechanics have not done many bad things, and they will be caught, they may not be desperate with you. Like this kind of machine gunners and the devil elite of the front-line troops, which is not stained with the blood of the Chinese In their hearts, they have already sentenced themselves to death, but you want to capture them alive Didn't you rush to let people pull a cushion before they died? Hurry up and get me out Find explosives to blow up this car Then let's go to the coal station where the little devil is served There's a devil over there to catch you."
