Chapter Seventy-Seven: Unpacking and Treasure Seizure
Even if the speed of the train in the Republic of China is not comparable to that of later generations. No matter how slow a train can go, once it goes off the track, the consequences are extremely serious. What's more, at the time of the derailment, the train was still in the process of turning.
The earth-shattering explosion sounded, and the little devil who originally thought that the escort would be a complete success was speechless in his heart. I can only bear it helplessly, throwing up and down again and again, and throwing up and falling again.
Hu Biao, who was standing in the mountain pass and witnessed this scene, couldn't help but say: "Well done!" ”
Xu Mingzhi and the others, who were staying aside, also said with excitement on their faces: "It's over!" The train really flipped over! I rolled a few laps! Haha, even if the little devil doesn't die, he will probably be broken and bleeding. ”
Listening to everyone's excited applause, Hu Biao turned around and said, "Lao Xu, blow the assembly horn and prepare to move things!" ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
"Trumpeter, trumpet! Assemble, fight the devil and grab the supplies! ”
At the moment when the assembly horn was sounded, all the officers and men of the Snow Shame Battalion who had come out of hiding quickly completed their assembly. Three companies of nearly 500 men, like a torrent pouring out of the valley, ran towards the overturned train.
The warning locomotive, which also heard the sound of an explosion behind him, was nervous and stepped on the brakes as soon as possible. The sudden braking made the little devil machine gunner on the roof of the car almost thrown off.
The little devil who stayed on the guard locomotive, his first reaction was that something was wrong with the military. It's a pity that they can't turn around at all. The only way to stop the car is to rush to the rescue on foot.
As a result, just as these little devils were about to get off the train, Qin Tianyou, who was lurking nearby, had already ordered the explosives fuse buried along the railway line to be ignited. Shortly after the little devil got off the train, a violent explosion sounded again on the railway line.
Compared with the previous explosion, there was only one point, and the railway that was detonated at this moment is a large line. Including the location of these little devils, explosives were also planted in advance. When the explosion sounded, these little devils were also stunned.
"Get down! Get down! Yes! ”
Feel the blast wave of the explosion that ravaged the railroad and countless blasted rails and stone sleepers. The little devils who were caught off guard could only watch the locomotive being blown up, and by the way, they were standing next to them.
When the screams were repeated, Qin Tianyou led the soldiers under his command to rush towards these little devils as soon as possible. As the leader of the firepower group, the soldiers around Qin Tianyou were not equipped with submachine guns, but with four light machine guns.
The four machine gunners carrying light machine guns, looking at the little devils who were bombed, also pulled the trigger for the first time. The four tongues of fire swept away, and as long as the little devils were still standing, they were all beaten into a hornet's nest and fell in a pool of blood without exception.
When Hu Biao rushed out of the valley with three combat companies, Xu Sandao and the soldiers of the guard platoon under his command had already rushed to the side of the train that had finally stopped rolling. The soldiers of the guard platoon, who searched along the carriage, soon heard the wailing from the middle compartment.
"Platoon commander, little devil, this carriage! And alive! ”
"What nonsense, let's hold a shuttle bullet first! Prepare a grenade, wait and listen to my orders, and throw it in the window! ”
"Yes, platoon commander!"
The little devil who had just experienced a nightmarish tumbling, and before he could rejoice that the train had finally stopped rolling, he heard fierce gunshots in his ears. More than a dozen submachine guns fired wildly at the shattered window glass.
Countless bullets flew into the car through the windows, and the little devil who had not yet woken up could only fall helplessly. At the same time, when the submachine gun finally stopped firing, Xu Sandao and the others took out the grenade they were carrying.
"Three, two, one, throw!"
The soldiers of the guard platoon, who were standing not far from the window, gently sniffed the grenade that had removed the latch, and threw the grenade that began to smoke down the broken window. A few seconds later, the carriage again rang out with a series of explosions.
When the explosion stopped, and countless gunpowder smoke came out of the car window, Xu Sandao pulled out the box cannon inserted in his waist and continued: "Lean over!" Look for an opportunity to climb into the carriage and check if there are any living imps. Anyone who is panting will be killed! ”
"Yes, platoon commander!"
As Hu Biao's most trusted subordinate, Xu Sandao naturally knew that Hu Biao didn't like to take prisoners. In Hu Biao's words, the little devils don't have a good thing, even the diaspora of those little devils. Only a dead devil is a good devil!
The Snow Shame Camp does not take prisoners, which is also a rule established when the Snow Shame Camp was formed. Even when cleaning the battlefield, Hu Biao would order the soldiers to mend knives on the corpses of the little devils. The intention of this is also very simple, that is, not to let go of a fish that slips through the net.
Through the car window, Xu Sandao and others worked in pairs to observe each other on the left and right sides of the window. If you find a live or movable target inside, you will pull out and shoot. At such a close distance, the box cannon is undoubtedly more useful.
The sound of 'bang-bang' gunshots rang out, and it was first swept away by a submachine gun, then blown up by countless grenades, and finally washed by a pistol. The carriage where the escort troops were located had completely turned into a mountain of corpses in the sea of blood.
Many soldiers of the guard platoon who turned over and entered the carriage also felt a little psychologically uncomfortable when they looked at such a bloody and tragic carriage. Fortunately, the soldiers of the guard platoon have a good psychological quality, and they have all experienced real bloody battles, so they will not vomit on the spot.
Walking into the corpse-riddled carriage, Xu Sandao quickly ordered: "Start cleaning the battlefield!" Collect everything you can get me. Also, remember that all seized money must be returned to the public and not allowed to be hidden, understand? ”
"Got it, platoon commander!"
If Hu Biao formulated this rule before, many soldiers felt a little dissatisfied, and felt that if they were not allowed to hide it privately, the seized money and property might be privately swallowed by the officials. But now, many fighters don't want to make mistakes.
Once it is discovered that the seized money is secretly hidden, they will be kicked out of the team at the least, and in the worst cases, they will be subject to military law. It was not easy to be selected for the guard platoon, and these soldiers cherished this opportunity very much, and naturally they would not be greedy for this bit of dead money.
When Hu Biao led three combat companies to the scene of the overturning of the military train, he quickly issued an order: "Lao Xu, let people open all the doors of the carriage and check the materials stored in the carriage." Move food first, then weapons and ammunition! ”
"Yes, Battalion Commander!"
The order was conveyed to the three company commanders, who also volunteered to go to the locked compartment door. When the door was opened, the supplies stored inside were also carried out by the soldiers. Looking at these supplies, many soldiers looked extremely excited.
"Wow! This is the little devil's beef pick! That's a lot, a whole car! ”
"It's flour! Good white flour! It's all stuffed! ”
"Bullets! Company commander, the box is full of bullets! ”
"This cannonball is so big! Oh, my God! This cannonball from heavy artillery, right? When you move, will it blow up? ”
Like seeing a treasure out of the box, the soldiers surrounding the military column are also as lively as the New Year. According to Hu Biao's prior arrangement, a large number of soldiers began to gather in the carriages loaded with food such as picks and flour.
Boxes of picks, bags of flour and other edible supplies were quickly carried out of the carriage and piled aside. As for the bullet boxes and rifles, they also began to be carried outside, but the carriage where the shells were fired did not move for the time being.
In Hu Biao's view, except for the shells of mortars and grenadiers, the shells used by heavy artillery cannot be used at all, so naturally there is no need to move them. When leaving, set it into a trap and detonate it.
Just as he was inspecting the materials stored in each carriage, a soldier suddenly said: "Company commander, this shell box seems to be a little different, with skulls painted on it." Company commander, what kind of shell is this? ”
Hu Biao, who happened to be nearby, said tightly when he heard this: "Don't move!" The cannonball with the skull drawn should be the gas bomb of the little devil. Everyone stayed away and brought the gas masks they had found. ”
Compared with ordinary artillery shells, the harmfulness of poison gas bombs can be imagined. In the event of a breach, the consequences are unimaginable. For the sake of safety, Hu Biao felt that it would be safer to wear a gas mask and conduct a further examination.
Knowing that the carriage was loaded with poison gas bombs, the soldiers in charge of carrying and inspecting them were also frightened and their legs weakened. As soldiers, although they have never tasted the taste of gas bombs, they know that if they are blown up by gas bombs, they may be worse than dead.
Fortunately, when the little devil was loading the car, the protective measures for these gas bombs were in place. Even though the train rolled several times, the gas bombs in the cartridge box remained intact. Seeing that the gas bomb did not leak, Hu Biao immediately ordered the carriage door to be locked again.
Hu Biao felt that it would not be a big problem to bring a few boxes of these shells back to the mountains. But when to use it, you need to think carefully. When I have the opportunity to use it on the little devil in the future, I believe that scene will also be very exciting!
