In the face of the long drive of the Japanese army, many coastal cities controlled by the national army earlier fell into the hands of little devils. The Japanese troops occupying these coastal cities will naturally use them as the forward positions in this war of aggression.

Even though the defenders defending these cities were annihilated or driven away by the Japanese army, there was still a group of people active in these cities. They did not wear military uniforms, and their positions were varied, but they had only one purpose, which was to find out the military intelligence of the Japanese army.

When the main force of the Japanese army launched another onslaught on the territory of Xuzhou, a large number of military supplies were raised, and all these materials were stored in the dock warehouse through the controlled port, and then transported by the controlled railway.

Compared with manual transportation and automobile transportation, the capacity of trains is larger but the cost is lower. Earlier, the Jinpu Railway was interrupted, and the front-line combat troops, which urgently needed supplies from the rear, were naturally very anxious and constantly urged the rear to step up the delivery of supplies.

Although the little devils can still use roads and canals to deliver supplies to the troops in front. However, after the battle line was lengthened, this way of transporting supplies was still somewhat time-consuming and laborious, and the baggage troops were also miserable.

Knowing that the defenders of Zaozhuang had finally repaired the railroad that had been blown up, and the baggage troops responsible for transporting supplies also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The train, loaded with a large number of supplies, also officially departed from the port railway station and was transported to the nearest railway station to the front line.

The spies lurking in the local area will naturally not miss such news. Earlier, the Japanese army organized migrant workers to carry materials on the train, but naturally it could not escape the detection of the spy personnel. When to depart has also become the focus of the work of spy personnel.

With the smooth departure of the first train, a large number of escort troops assembled on standby also took advantage of the night to get into the carriage of the train. The spy personnel lurking near the train station also reported the news to their respective intelligence executives as soon as possible.

Hu Biao, who had always maintained contact with the Eighth Route Army and the military commanders, also received the information sent as soon as possible. Correspondingly, the Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang also received a telegram from the baggage troops, strictly ordering them to ensure the safety of the train when it passed.

When the Japanese army in Zaozhuang City implemented the security policy of loosening the outside and tightening the inside, the little devils in charge of railway patrols patrolled much more frequently than before. The two bunkers built in Zaozhuang are also waiting for the little devils stationed in Zaozhuang.

After receiving the telegram forwarded by the military commander as soon as possible, Hu Biao said with a little surprise: "Originally, I thought that the little devil would delay for two days. As a result, they were in such a hurry. It seems that during this time, they are really suffocating! ”

"Don't be in a hurry! The supplies in the rear cannot be transported, and the troops of the devils fighting on the front line must attack leisurely. If they make the mistake of going deep alone, who can guarantee that they will not be the next 10th Division? ”

Xu Sandao and others, who followed Hu Biao, have experienced more battles, and their horizons have broadened a lot than before. They also knew about the withdrawal of the Fifth Theater from the fighting. What the little devils will do, they can imagine.

Seeing that the meat in his mouth is about to fly away, how can the little devil not be in a hurry? However, the supply of supplies in the rear was insufficient, and the Japanese army did not dare to pursue it with all their might. Who dares to guarantee that the Fifth War Zone's abandonment of the Taierzhuang area is not to lure the enemy into going deeper?

Confirming that the little devil's army had departed, Hu Biao immediately sent a telegram to the two detachments of action. The pick-up personnel arranged earlier have also been dispatched one after another. And Hu Biao and his entourage began to prepare to eliminate the two strongholds.

By tapping the phone, Hu Biao already knew that the little devil was in the newly built bunker, and only one squad of Japanese soldiers was arranged. In addition to the patrols sent out from time to time, a small number of imps are also kept in the bunker.

At this stage, the little devils who have just occupied Zaozhuang do not seem to have formed a puppet army yet. Therefore, the people stationed in the bunker are all little devils, and it is very difficult to pretend to be a puppet army to sneak in.

Fortunately, this time, Hu Biao already had a plan. The scout in charge of eavesdropping on the phone also informed Hu Biao of the situation, saying that the garrison officer in the city had personally called the bunker defenders and told them to strengthen their vigilance.

Looking at the little devil bunker not far away, Xu Sandao said with a little curiosity: "Captain, what's going on?" The little devils are hiding in the bunker, and we want to solve them quietly, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult. Once shot, things are in trouble! ”

"No hurry! In the two bunkers, the little devils only arranged one squad of troops. This bit of manpower is not very useful at all. Have you done everything you cut off the railroad tracks? ”

"It's done! It can be dismantled at any time! ”

"Okay! Let's first make an accident about the train derailment, and there is a detachment of the Eighth Route Army lurking at the location of the train derailment. It's not much of a problem to deal with the little devils who rushed to reinforce along the railway, and there is time left for them to carry supplies.

And what we have to do is to deploy a platoon of troops near this pillbox. As long as the little devil in the bunker comes out, I will solve it. As soon as the train derailed, people cut the telephone lines of two pillboxes.

The pillbox behind us, which we approached later in the name of reinforcements. I believe that the little devil never dreamed that we would have such a big deal tonight, directly robbing the little devil's two military trains.

According to the telegram sent by the military commander, this time the little devil sent two trains at once, and the other two trains were being shipped. If nothing else, those two trains should depart in the second half of the night. Unfortunately, we couldn't grab it!

Lao Xu, later you take a platoon and rush to the ambush on the highway we chose earlier, responsible for blocking the little devils who came out of the city. I let the first and second companies cooperate with the artillery company, can I stop the little devils who come by relying on the fortifications? ”

"Yes!"

"Good! When the battle on my side is over, I will rush over as soon as possible. In addition, Qian Zhong was notified and asked to pull the remaining four combat companies and the recruit company here. Their task was simple, to empty the train as quickly as possible.

As soon as we started it, we notified the reconnaissance team to detonate the planted explosives. In that case, it is unlikely that the little devils want to send troops by train. Arriving here on foot, at least after dawn. ”

"Understood!"

"Zhuzi, wait a minute, you take a few people, go to the side of the Eighth Route Army, and tell Captain Sun of the Eighth Route Army that the Japanese troops coming from his direction will be responsible for blocking them. The devils coming from our direction, we are responsible for blocking them.

As for the little devils in the city, please rest assured that they will never pass by us. The derailed train, the supplies on it, even if I gave them a big gift. How much they can move is up to them! ”

"Captain, I'm your guard, I can't leave your side!"

"What nonsense! Do I need you to protect me? What's more, Lao Qin, they are still with me! ”

"Yes!"

Although Tian Tiezhu, who was being trained, was a little unhappy, he knew that Hu Biao asked him to deal with the Eighth Route Army, more to train him. And Qin Tianyou and the others also smiled and comforted him, telling him that he would definitely protect Hu Biao.

"Send a report to the squad that entered the city, and let Minyi remember to create a little chaos in the city after the little devil sent reinforcements out of the city. Just remember that they are not allowed to fight with the little devils, and they can just drag the remaining little devils in the city. ”

"Understood! Captain, in this way, if we want to attack Zaozhuang next, will it become too troublesome? ”

"Don't worry! In the first half of the night, our battle was on the railway line, and the battle against Zaozhuang was in the second half of the night. For the Japanese troops in Zaozhuang, they would definitely not be able to sleep in the first half of the night, and even become scared, but they would not have thought that we would attack Zaozhuang.

Hu Minyi's team only needs to detonate a few time bombs, and the little devils will definitely not dare to transfer the remaining troops. In that case, the little devils that Lao Xu needs to deal with are only the first batch of reinforcements.

As for the little devils scattered nearby, there are still four combat companies left in our detachment, plus the guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Route Army, and the strength of the little devils has far exceeded that of the little devils. The fierce battle in the first half of the night will only make the little devils in the city anxious and relax their vigilance.

They can only suspect that the chaos we created in the first half of the night was to contain the rest of their troops. When the battle on the railway side is over, even if the little devils react, they will only lose more if they send troops to reinforce the railway side! ”

After listening to Hu Biao's operational analysis and meaning, Xu Sandao and others did not refute it. With the order given by Hu Biao, they quickly rushed to the preset ambush circle. And at this moment, the troops of both detachments were also pulled out.

When the guerrilla detachment of the Eighth Route Army rushed to the joint location mentioned by Hu Biao, they saw Tian Tiezhu waiting there in advance, and Sun Xinghua, who led the troops over, was also surprised and said: "What about your captain? ”

"The captain is on the railway line, he has a combat mission and can't leave, let me come over and lead you into the ambush position. Captain Sun, Chief of Staff Lin, this is a note from your captain by the captain, and I ask you two to read it and make a decision quickly! ”

After handing the note written by Hu Biao to Sun Xinghua and Lin Dingyuan, Lin Dingyuan, as the chief of staff, was also surprised: "Can you make sure that the little devils in the city will not come?" ”

"The little devil in the city, it won't be long before I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself! Chief of Staff Lin, what you have to do is to deal with the little devils in the neighborhood who may come to reinforcements at that time. There are not many little devils in this batch, and you also need to arrange them in advance! ”

"Good! Please take us there! A little devil of a few hundred people, we should be able to handle it! ”

"Captain Sun, I'm afraid that the little devils who rushed to reinforce will not be able to come out. The little devils you really need to block, there is a squadron that is about the same size. It's just that there will be little devils on the military column! ”

"How many little devils are there in the military column?"

"We don't know much about that! Normally, at least one squadron. It's just that once the train derails, the little devils who stay on the train are estimated to have a great reduction in their remaining combat effectiveness. Otherwise, wait until you get to the ambush point! ”

"Good!"

Looking at the guards around Hu Biao, they all had such combat qualities, Sun Xinghua and Lin Dingyuan were also very surprised. Correspondingly, through Tian Tiezhu's story, they also knew that for this ambush, Hu Biao was afraid that he had made a lot of preparations in advance!
