In the early hours of the morning, in a railway bunker on Suzhou Jing Road, most of the Japanese puppet army squads stationed in the bunker fell asleep. The few sentries on duty mostly rested against the wall with their eyes closed, and only two or three people remained on patrol.

Compared to the usual duty in the bunker, you can occasionally see trains speeding past the railway line. But a few days ago, the railway line was suddenly damaged in many places, and the railway was naturally paralyzed.

Before the damaged railways were repaired, the bunkers built to protect the railways were basically useless. Even though most of the bunkers were built on the main transportation routes, no one dared to come at night.

What else can you do without sleeping and resting?

Except for the little devils in the bunker who dare not have opinions in order to carry out the order, and cooperate with the puppet soldiers stationed in the bunker, I really can't understand what is the use of such a bunker continuing to guard? This is pure foolishness!

It's just that the opinions of the puppet army have never been taken seriously by the little devils. Without the permission of the little devil, no matter how reluctant the puppet army is, they can only stay obediently in the bunker. Whoever dares to complain may be cleaned up by the little devils, and the taste can be imagined.

But these Japanese puppet troops stationed in the bunkers had no idea that tonight the entire railway line, and even some areas bordering the two cities, would usher in a large-scale sabotage operation. This also means that many Japanese puppet soldiers will not be able to see the sun the next day.

According to the distance and proximity, the sabotage combat detachments dispatched in advance all arrived near the combat targets for which they were responsible before the operation was launched. The platoon commanders who led the team also took out their pocket watches and quietly waited for the attack to come.

When the hour and minute hands of the watches of these companies and platoons were pointing to one o'clock in the morning, the mortars that had been set up in advance roared at the target almost at the same time, and one shell after another was thrown at the target's location at a rapid pace.

The sudden shelling made countless Japanese puppet soldiers who were awakened shout "Enemy attack!" at the first time. Shelling! ”

It's a pity that no matter how loud the roar is, it can't save the Japanese puppet army shrouded in artillery fire. The sober Japanese puppet army trembled under the fierce and sudden artillery fire. The sleeping Japanese puppet army, some of them directly fell asleep.

The first reaction of many little devil officers who were stunned by the shelling was to call or send telegrams for help. For a while, the Japanese commanders who were in charge of these pillboxes and outposts were also awakened by the sound of phone calls one after another.

"Wangjiapu sent a telegram that they were under shelling, the situation was urgent, and they requested to send reinforcements quickly!"

"There was a call from the stronghold of Lijiawa, and the stronghold was shelled by unknown armed forces, asking for tactical guidance!"

One telegram after another, one phone call after another, made the commanders of the Suzhou and Xuzhou garrison headquarters completely sleepless. Such a large-scale night raid made these commanders instantly realize that something was going to happen in their defense area.

Many Japanese commanders who had been disturbed by their dreams without exception shouted angrily, "What the hell is going on? Where exactly did these damn attackers come from? What's going on at the base now? ”

The subordinates who were questioned were also confused and puzzled. Some suggested that reinforcements be sent quickly, while others suggested that they should be held off for a moment and see what was going on. In short, the command rooms of the two garrison headquarters were quarreled into a pot of porridge.

Then came the communications officer, who was responsible for answering the phone and receiving the telegram, ran out of the command room from time to time and said, "The direction of Wangjiapu has been lost, and the radio call has not been answered." Forward observation posts report that the artillery fire in that direction seems to have stopped! ”

"Na? There was a squadron stationed on Wangjiabao's side, how could it be lost so quickly? Damn, how many of those armies are there? When did our combat forces become so vulnerable? Send someone to find out the situation immediately! ”

Faced with the fact that the strongholds outside the city were constantly being dialed out, and the radio station was missing and the phone could not be connected, the two garrison officers finally decided to send someone out of the city to check the situation. Find out the situation first before you can make a decision.

It is a pity that not long after these reconnaissance troops walked out of the city gates, they were all strafed by machine guns and rifles. After playing outside the city for a while, the sneak attackers calmly withdrew from the battle.

The Japanese commanders who learned the news were all angry without exception, "Baga! Without even seeing the shadow of the enemy, he lost so many warriors, what did the commander eat? Incompetent, why not continue the pursuit? ”

The commander who did not pursue was trained and became a punching bag for the garrison officer. However, many commanders who ordered the pursuit failed to return to the city in the end. Before they could reach the stronghold where they were attacked, the commanders were reduced to corpses in pursuit.

In the face of the constant news of attacks and loss of contact from the outlying strongholds, even the garrisons of each city tried to find a way to support as much as they could. In the end, even if the reinforcements arrived at the attacked stronghold, they only saw a scene of wolf-like battle.

Countless corpses and the wreckage of the bombed-out stronghold, the smell of gunpowder still permeated, made these troops who went out of the city to reinforce feel extremely cold. Looking at the silent night sky around them, the Japanese puppet army that was ordered to reinforce was full of worry.

The final result could only be the commander who led the reinforcements, and said helplessly, "Collect the corpses of the warriors and prepare to return to the city!" ”

As for the pursuers, these commanders knew that it would be easy to be ambushed by pursuing such a group of enemies of unknown origin and strong firepower in the middle of the night. Once they are ambushed, they are afraid that their lives will be put into it.

The troops stationed outside the city, without exception, were ambushed. When the garrisons of Suzhou and Xuzhou exchanged information, they realized that the junction of the two cities was the focus of the attackers' attacks, and seemed to be intent on cutting off communication between the two places.

Analyzing this result, the two garrison officers were full of worry and said, "Baga! Could it be that the Chinese army still wants to attack the city? ”

Compared with the number of troops stationed in Xuzhou and the situation of city defense, the situation in Suzhou is undoubtedly more dangerous. Knowing that the attackers intended to block the center of the two places, the Suzhou garrison immediately ordered to shrink the force and make every effort to ensure the safety of Suzhou City.

And the garrison officer of Xuzhou City, although he felt that it was unlikely to be attacked. But in the face of this situation, he is also worried about the 'what if' happens. Once Xuzhou is recovered, the consequences are unimaginable.

In view of this possibility, the Japanese garrison in Xuzhou also ordered the reduction of troops, and urgently called back the troops that had been deployed outside the city to the nearest city. The task of arming guards outside the city was naturally cancelled.

Seeing that the little devils began to recall the alert troops outside the city, and received a telegram from the various raiding detachments, Hu Biao also said directly, "Order all the raiding detachments to do everything possible to eliminate some little devils, don't let them return to the city easily!" ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

For these little devils who plan to retreat back to the city, Hu Biao naturally will not let them go easily. Through the Japanese army's behavior of shrinking troops, Hu Biao boldly guessed that his sabotage operation had already made the Japanese troops in the two places feel the pressure.

In order to avoid the cannibalization of the troops deployed outside the city, the Japanese army made the decision to reduce its strength, but I am afraid that it was also a helpless move. But the more this is the case, the more Hu Biao will order the troops to go out to harass the troops, biting the little devil and preventing him from escaping easily.

Of course, in order to avoid danger to the pursuing troops, Hu Biao also asked to attack the detachment and not bite too hard. The little devil who can't be surrounded and annihilated, then retreat with a hard bite. While pursuing, beware of the little devils setting up ambushes.

When it was almost dawn, Hu Biao said, "Send a report to all the participating troops, ordering them to quickly leave the battle and rush to the predetermined place to meet." If you really wait for the dawn to let the little devil see the truth and the truth, I'm afraid that we will be in trouble! ”

Judging from the effect of the attack, Hu Biao felt very satisfied. In addition to eliminating a large number of Japanese puppet troops, it also forced the little devils in the two places to shrink back to the city. As a result, the Japanese army had no time to take care of the situation outside the city for a short time.

And what Hu Biao has to do next is to lead the combat troops under his command to leave quietly before the little devil can react. Even if the little devil starts a search after dawn, I believe the little devil will not be able to find anything.

Leading the accompanying guard platoon, Hu Biao gathered the combat detachment that went out to attack and harass, and then marched in the direction of Xuzhou. When the sky finally brightened, Hu Biao also arrived in Xuzhou with the gathered troops.

Considering that the Japanese army had called back the troops outside the city, Hu Biao immediately said, "Order the troops to change their clothes!" Break it up and move on. Before dark, rush to the next scheduled location to meet and act! ”

"Yes, detachment leader!"

There is an intelligence group deployed in Xuzhou in advance to give information to the troops at any time. In addition, after a night of attack, the little devil also needs to carry out a corresponding investigation, and Hu Biao does not want to stay in the combat area longer.

Only by taking the troops out of this combat area before the little devil reacts, then Hu Biao and his party can be completely safe. As long as they leave Xuzhou safely, even if the follow-up little devils know, they are afraid that they will not be able to intercept Hu Biao and his party.

Entering Xuzhou, which is known as the "thoroughfare of the five provinces", Hu Biao can go to Yungang in the east, Suzhou in the west, Suqian in the south, and Zaozhuang in the north. In addition, there is a Grand Canal in the territory, which can be said to extend in all directions, and you can go there.

Unless the little devil knows the identity of Hu Biao and his party, it will be impossible to judge the true whereabouts of Hu Biao and his party in an absolute short period of time. What's more, with such a large-scale raid last night, the Japanese army absolutely had reason to suspect that it was a large force in action.

And in fact, the size of the troops that operated last night was not even a regiment at best. After the whole was broken into pieces, how could the Japanese army find out the whereabouts of Hu Biao and his party in a short period of time?

Even Hu Biao believed that the Japanese army must have suspected that the main force of the anti-Japanese army had infiltrated into Suzhou or Xuzhou. If you don't find the main force of this infiltrated anti-Japanese war force, I'm afraid that the little devils won't be able to sleep soundly.

In this way, unless the little devil is absolutely sure, he will never dare to easily send a large army out of the city to sweep. Only when follow-up reinforcements arrive, maybe the little devils will dare to launch a new round of sweeps. And at that time, Hu Biao had already left!
