When the soldiers of the guard platoon fell asleep with the joy of victory, the little devil commanders who were far away in Nanjing and Runzhou City, who were concerned about this military train, had no intention of sleeping at all. They will all be held accountable for their dereliction of duty.

It was learned that Nanjing had sent an infantry brigade to search along the railway by train. Fukuyama Mabu, who was staying in Runzhou City, had also been waiting for a telegram from Nanjing, hoping to know what had happened to the military train that had been sent.

As a result, in the middle of the night, I sent a telegram of inquiry to Nanjing, but only received a few words of reply. The infantry brigade, which was ordered to carry out the search mission, was once again in a state of disconnection. This return call doubled the pressure on Fukuyama Shinbe.

"Yaga! What's going on on the railway line? Why is there no news yet? ”

"Dazuo, most of the troops we sent are stationed in the county seat. This railway to Nanjing has a long distance in the mountainous area of no man's land. If there is an accident with the train, it is likely to be in these uninhabited mountainous areas. ”

The adjutant who stood beside Fukuyama Mabe was also well aware of the pressure he was under as the garrison of Runzhou City. If this military trip happened, the railway transportation and supply plan formulated by the Japanese army before would also be completely defeated.

A large number of military supplies that had already arrived in Runzhou City had to be transported to the front line in Nanjing by car again. Compared with the manpower and material resources consumed by railway transportation, the risk and cost of using cars to implement road transportation are much greater than those of railways.

In the face of the adjutant's words, Fukuyama Shinbe stared at the map along the railway line and said, "Order the troops along the railway line to assemble their troops as soon as it is dawn and start a search along the railway line, and make sure to find the missing military train." ”

"Hey! Your Excellency Osa, when dawn comes, a reconnaissance plane should be dispatched from above to search, right? ”

"A reconnaissance aircraft is a reconnaissance aircraft! How to do it above, that's a matter of above. As the garrison officer of Runcheng, I must do something about the disappearance of the military column. Otherwise, if something really happens to the military column, and I don't do anything, what will the above think of me? ”

Knowing that the adjutant was also out of good intentions, and he was also his own descendant, Fukuyama Mabu could only emphasize it helplessly. He knew very well that at the moment, the most anxious about the disappearance of the military column were the combat units waiting for supplies on the front line.

The delay in the arrival of supplies will also have an impact on the operation of the troops. At such a critical juncture, if such a thing happens, it is also very fatal if it is not handled well. Given this situation, the generals of the combat units will certainly continue to press.

The commander of the force, who is responsible for supplying supplies, must also come up with the quickest solution to the problem. Otherwise, it will affect the operations of the front-line troops, and even the generals will be held responsible.

In fact, compared to Fukuyama Shinbe, who was completely sleepless, Hirocho Mizuno, the Japanese army who was in charge of receiving supplies, was more anxious. The telegrams sent one after another from the divisions and regiments on the front made Mizuno Hirocho, who was in charge of logistics and supplies, restless.

As the wing commander of the baggage unit responsible for providing troops to the front-line troops, Hiroshi Mizuno knew very well that those division and regiment generals would not care what happened to the baggage troops. They just need to know if the supplies have been delivered to their division on time.

If the supplies are not delivered as scheduled, they will hold the baggage troops responsible. As the captain of the wing, Hirocho Mizuno is not the supreme commander of the baggage troops, but his power and responsibility are still great in the baggage troops.

Hiroshi Mizuno, who was staying in the newspaper room, said with his eyes a little red: "Still can't be contacted, right?" ”

"Yes! Your Excellency, we have called many times in a row, but the third brigade has never answered, and something may have happened to the radio station! ”

Although he didn't want to admit that the infantry brigade in charge of the search had an accident, the Japanese lieutenant in charge of communications still gave this reply. Earlier, every half hour, the operator of the 3rd Brigade would send a telegram announcing his safety.

Almost an hour has passed, and the radio station of the 3rd Brigade is still missing. Even if the Third Brigade is in a state of battle at this moment, it is believed that there should be time to send a telegram. But except for the telegram announcing safety, there was no other telegram.

This can only indicate that the 3rd Brigade is in trouble, and there is a high probability that the station will be damaged. As for whether something happened to the third brigade, I believe that including Hiroshi Mizuno, they all think it is unlikely.

Anyway, it was a brigade of well-equipped troops. Even if you encounter an ambush in the wild, I believe that you will not be powerless to fight back. Perhaps the biggest possibility is that the radio station is down or damaged.

So what happened to cause the radio station to malfunction and break? The only plausible explanation was the attack on the 3rd Brigade. Suddenly ambushed, resulting in the carrying station, during the ambush, was damaged, and it was impossible to communicate with the rear.

Raising his hand and looking at the time, Mizuno Hirocho stood in front of the map, looked along the railway line, and said, "With the speed of the third brigade of the train, with the telegram they send back every half hour, their accident location should be here."

The order was given to the 1st Brigade to set off from the highway in a car and rush to the vicinity of the accident site, and to attack as soon as unknown forces were found. The second brigade, led by me personally, immediately set off on foot and rushed along the railway to the accident site. ”

Finally realizing that there was a real possibility that the military train might be ambushed and had an accident, and fearing that the materials carried on it would be damaged or damaged, Mizuno Hirocho finally decided to personally lead the team to rush to the railway section that might have an accident overnight.

Staying here and waiting for news will only make his life more miserable. In the past, there were no accidents, and he, the wing commander of the baggage troops, still had some face in front of those division and regiment generals. After all, he was in charge of supplies.

If something really happens, those generals will be held responsible, and he, the wing commander, is the best scapegoat. In order to atone for his sins, and to ensure that the supplies were not damaged or lost, Mizuno Hirocho had to set an example and personally retrieve the supplies on the military columns.

Seeing that the wing captain is doing this, as the other adjutants under him, how dare he talk more nonsense? For a while, the camp located in the baggage wing soon whistled in unison. The troops, who were resting, quickly ran out of the barracks to assemble and stand by.

The first brigade that set off from the road, although it set off by car, there were still many soldiers who needed to follow the car. In addition, the road is not a straight line, which means that the mileage of the 1st Brigade is farther than that of the 2nd Brigade.

When Hirocho Mizuno led the second infantry brigade and marched quickly along the railway line. Hu Biao, who was staying in the derailment area of the military train, took a few soldiers in charge of vigilance and was busy at the place where the locomotive was detonated earlier.

The soldier who was still in charge of digging the pit was also puzzled: "Battalion commander, the railway in front of us has been blown up by us, will the little devil still come from here?" This place has already been bombed by us once, will the little devils still be fooled? ”

"Don't worry! The little devils will definitely pass by here, and if they want to find the military train, they will inevitably search along the railway line. There is your platoon commander guarding the road, and we have to set up a few more traps to defend against it.

The most important thing is that there are so many shells left in the carriage, and the detonation power is too great when stacked together. Lay a few more traps, lose a little more of the little devil's troops, and wait for us to retreat, there won't be so much pressure! ”

In Hu Biao's opinion, if the little devils continue to be sent to search along the railway line and reach the blast area ahead, they will know that something is wrong. He even joined up with the rout soldiers who had fled into the mountains earlier, knowing that he had detonated a special bomb.

Then the little devil will attack again, and he will inevitably be extra careful. This kind of place, which has been blasted once, looks even more messy, and the little devil may not guess that Hu Biao has set up an explosion trap here.

When the little devils gathered, Hu Biao directly asked people to light the fuse, and then quickly retreated to the train derailment area, not entangled with the little devils at all. I believe that this wave of explosions can kill a group of little devils.

The most critical thing is that in these explosion traps, Hu Biao buried a number of special bombs. Once detonated, it will be reduced to a no-go zone. In a short period of time, I believe that the little devils did not dare to send troops through to pursue them.

In fact, planting special bombs in the explosion trap can not only kill and injure the little devils, but also play a role in deterring the little devils. In this way, Hu Biao led the guard platoon to withdraw from the battlefield, and there was more time to widen the distance from the pursuers.

If he really wants to be chased by the little devils, with only the dozens of people around him, Hu Biao really can't guarantee that he can bring these soldiers to Runzhou City alive. Only the deterrent power of special ammunition can make the little devil timid.

The trap was rearranged, and Hu Biao also told the soldiers who had changed the guard to hurry up and rest. Even he didn't know when the little devil would come next. The only thing he could do was to give the warrior a little more rest.

If they really want to fight again, it is estimated that they will not have much time to rest in the short term. Fortunately, there are many mountains and forests along the railway, and after this battle, Hu Biao will lead people to advance along the railway line in the direction of Runzhou City.

If he encounters a small group of devils halfway, Hu Biao will find an opportunity to start, and he will slip away after the fight. If there are many little devils, then Hu Biao will swim without avoiding the enemy's edge. The boat is small and easy to turn around, which is why Hu Biao only brings guards to his side.

Really bring the whole battalion with you, that would be too eye-catching, and it would not be conducive to the troops to hide. The most important thing is that the little devil is in the rear for a short time, and he can't mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress such a small number of harassing troops, right?
