Chapter 319: Concealment, Silence!
In order to ensure the safety of the first two military trains, the Japanese army also considered the possibility of an attack on the military trains. At the time of departure from the station, the two military trains departed one hour apart. But in fact, the distance between the two cars is not far.
Even on each military train, the little devil sent two squadrons to escort the car. Coupled with the vigilant garrisons along the way, the Japanese felt that the military train had arrived at its destination safely, and it should be no problem. The worst is that the materials on the car can be saved.
Even if someone sneaks up on the military column, the attackers will not have time to destroy the supplies on the military column. As long as the supplies are still there, the loss of some troops and trains, the Japanese army feels that it is acceptable. If the material is lost, it will be more difficult to raise it from the rear.
What's more, it takes a lot of time to raise the materials needed for the main force at the front!
On this point, Hu Biao, who was setting up an ambush on the railway line, did not know. But even if he knew, Hu Biao wouldn't think there was anything wrong. From the moment he received the information forwarded by the military commander, Hu Biao was ready to loot all the two military trains.
On the previous military train, the railroad tracks that had been dismantled were used to make the military train too late to brake and form a natural derailment. On the latter military train, as long as it follows behind the first military train, the reconnaissance team sent by Hu Biao in advance will completely block the possibility of its reversing.
The trains of this year, unlike the trains of later generations, if you want to reverse on the railway line, you must also stop at the railway station and reconnect with a locomotive before it is possible to complete the reversing. In Zaozhuang, the railway line is still quite long.
As long as the speed of the latter train is not too slow, Hu Biao believes that the following military train will also enter the territory of Zaozhuang. When the time comes, if you want to reverse the train, the little devil will also find out tragically, and the railways in and out of the station have been blown up.
This also means that the locomotive parked at the railway station cannot leave the station at all, let alone pull the train back that is parked on the railway. The train can't be pulled back and stopped on the railway line, and Hu Biao has a way to clean up the little devil who escorts the car.
When Tian Tiezhu arrived at the ambush position with the guerrilla detachment, looking at the Japanese bunker not far away, Sun Xinghua said with a little nervousness: "Is it really okay to be so close to the little devil's bunker?" ”
"Captain Sun, don't worry! If nothing else, the patrol of the little devils should have been solved by us! What you have to do now is to wait for the little devil's train to derail, and immediately rush to deal with the remaining little devils. ”
"On the railway, you have done your tricks!"
"That's right! The rails around the bend have been removed by us. As soon as the little devil's train arrived, we removed the railroad tracks at the bend, and the moving little devil train would rush directly to the slope ahead.
At that time, the little devils who stay in the car to guard are estimated to fall enough, and most of them will be crippled if they don't die. The rest of the little devils in the carriage, you just need to send some people close and greet the grenades with machine guns, and it should be easy to kill them all.
Before coming, our captain made a special explanation, hoping that you would not have any idea of capturing prisoners. After solving the little devils on the train, the little devils in the bunker, our people will solve it for you. All that's left is to remove the things on the train.
To be on the safe side, you only have one night. If you can't move anything on the train before dawn, you must retreat. I believe you all know that the little devil's plane will definitely take off after dawn, and there will be trouble then! ”
"It's that simple?"
Listening to Tian Tiezhu's narration of Hu Biao's explanation, Lin Dingyuan also felt that this battlefield was a little too simple. The detachment mobilized the people to come to the railway, and the result was such a battle, and there was such a rich reward, it was indeed too simple.
Ketian Tiezhu pointed to the other end of the railway and said: "It's not far from here, and there is Zhangzhuang in front." There, the little devils were stationed troops of two squadrons. Once this side is attacked, the little devils in Zhangzhuang will inevitably send reinforcements.
If they come out of the nest, you'll have to face two squadrons of imps. Correspondingly, you will not be under much pressure at that time. Of course, if you can completely annihilate these little devils who are reinforced, you can also recover Zhangzhuang by the way.
The captain said, there are so many of you coming, there must not be many supplies to carry. If there are supplies for this train, and if Zhangzhuang is taken, it will be no problem to double the number of troops. ”
"The little devils of the two squadrons are really a little tricky! However, this one is worth the bet! ”
After Tian Tiezhu's relay, Sun Xinghua quickly summoned the company commander he brought and issued the corresponding combat mission. The four mortars sent by Hu Biao earlier, Sun Xinghua also brought them this time. With these four mortars, he has a lot of confidence!
As the captain of the detachment, Sun Xinghua felt that it was relatively simple to clean up the little devils on the train. The trickier one may be the little devil who rushed from Zhangzhuang for reinforcements. If it was a squadron, it should be easier for him to pack up.
If it is two squadrons, then it is necessary to concentrate all efforts on annihilating them and then carry supplies. In that case, the time will be tighter. Correspondingly, if they can't solve the little devils on the train in the first place, they will fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides.
Just as Sun Xinghua was arranging the combat mission, the operator who cooperated with them in the battle quickly said: "Captain Sun, the military column still has an hour to arrive at the battlefield. This is a telegram from our captain, I hope you will prepare in advance! ”
"It's coming so fast! Okay, I got it! ”
The troops brought in were split in two, with a group continuing to lurk in the area of the train derailment, while another group went out to set up an ambush. To the surprise of the Eighth Route Army, the ambush site already had trenches dug in advance by Hu Biao and others.
Seeing this scene, the commander of the Eighth Route Army was also surprised and said: "I really didn't expect that they even dug trenches!" Aren't we sitting back and enjoying the results? It's really nice to have such allies! ”
"That's it! Hurry up and let the fighters into the position and hide! Check the trenches, fortify them, and get ready for battle! ”
After the division of labor, Sun Xinghua led the team to be responsible for the blockade, and Lin Dingyuan was responsible for the ambush in the derailment area. When Lin Dingyuan's side is done, he can send more troops to reinforce Sun Xinghua's side. If you solve the reinforcements of the little devils, you can carry supplies with confidence.
It makes Sun Xinghua a little regretful that they have not developed the fortress village and militia team for the time being. If there is help from the common people, they will move the supplies on the military column, and it will be very fast. Now, how much they can move depends on their ability!
When the Eighth Route Army was ready to engage in battle, Xu Sandao and Qian Zhong also successfully converged, and after listening to Hu Biao's instructions, Qian Zhong left the first company and the second company without saying a word, and rushed to the railway line with the remaining troops to join Hu Biao.
Xu Sandao, who served as the commander, also arranged for the soldiers of two companies to enter the ambush position. On the road in front of the ambush position, Xu Sandao had already laid an explosion trap. When it explodes, it should be enough for the little devil to drink a pot.
In addition to this, the artillery company, which had arrived at the ambush site with infantry weapons, was depressed when it came. When Xu Sandao led them to the artillery position behind the ambush position, the soldiers of these artillery companies instantly became smiling.
"Wow! A lot of guns! That's great! I can finally fight hard today! ”
Looking at these excited soldiers, Xu Sandao also said directly: "Later, your artillery company will cooperate with us to fight this ambush battle." Although I don't know how many little devils will be sent out in the city, it shouldn't be too small.
We have limited forces, so your artillery batteries also have to share more combat missions. All the gun emplacements, we have corrected, all of them are aimed at the road. If there is a deviation, you will adjust it according to the battlefield situation at that time! ”
"Understood!"
"As soon as the explosion on the road sounds, your artillery battery will start firing, giving you three minutes to shell, and how many shells can be fired depends on your speed. As soon as the three minutes came, the artillery fire stopped, and our infantry took over the attack! ”
"Good!"
It is rare to have such an opportunity to engage in actual combat, and the soldiers of the artillery company naturally did not want to miss it. After explaining the task, Xu Sandao opened more than a dozen wooden boxes placed near the position, and took out a light and heavy machine gun and grenadier from it.
These light and heavy machine guns and grenadiers were all distributed to the two combat companies. The two company commanders, who were originally worried about the lack of firepower, suddenly became ecstatic when they looked at the weapons that Xu Sandao had sent them.
With the rifles and grenades you carry, it will naturally be a little difficult to stop the little devils who are reinforcing you. But with the addition of these machine guns and grenadiers, the officers and men of the two companies have a lot more confidence. What's more, they also have artillery reinforcements!
When the guerrilla detachment and the Zaozhuang detachment began to operate, Hu Biao, who was still staying near the pillbox, also began to order the removal of patrol posts on the railway. After receiving a call from the garrison headquarters, the little devils in the bunker began a new round of patrols.
The purpose of this is also very simple, that is, to check whether there is any situation near the bunker before the train passes. The scout in charge of tapping the phone quickly informed Hu Biao of the information. And Hu Biao also knew that the time had come to do it.
Looking at the commandos around him, Hu Biao also said directly: "Two patrol teams, all killed!" Don't give the little devil any chance to shoot and warn! Finish out the patrols, and then deal with the defenders in the bunker! ”
"Yes, Captain!"
"Let's get moving!"
With the combat strength of the special service company, it is undoubtedly easier to deal with two patrols. With the flying of crossbow arrows, the little devils who patrolled along the railway line all fell on the railway line without exception, and then were dragged to the dark by the action team.
Pretending to be a member of the patrol, he quickly patrolled to the area where the partisan detachment was lurking. Looking at the little devil patrol coming from afar, Lin Dingyuan, who was lurking in the shadows, also said a little nervously: "There are devils!" Hidden, silent! ”
As a result, when the little devil patrol arrived at the ambush area and suddenly whistled, Tian Tiezhu said with a smile: "Chief of Staff Lin, it's not a little devil, it's our people!" I'll go over there and meet them! ”
As soon as he heard that these patrolling little devils were impersonated by Hu Biao's subordinates, Lin Dingyuan and several grassroots officers of the Eighth Route Army also felt stunned. In their opinion, Hu Biao's subordinates do look no different from little devils.
If it weren't for Tian Tiezhu to tell me, I'm afraid they would really think that the little devil's patrol was coming. This disguise and bold approach alone made Lin Dingyuan and his subordinates realize that the special task force is really special!
