The Pinghan Railway was the main artery for the north-south transportation of the Japanese devils, whether it was to transport weapons and ammunition to the Japanese troops assembled in the south, or to bring back looted materials from the south, it was the main transportation channel.

Since they knew the importance of this railway, the anti-Japanese organizations often beat its ideas, especially Feng Tiandong's two bombing operations, which dealt a heavy blow to the devils and had a certain impact on the battle of Wuhan at that time.

In order to support the battle in the south, the Japanese devils need to maintain the smooth flow of this railway, and they will definitely make great efforts to protect this railway and avoid repeating the mistakes of the past.

Now if you want to blow up the military train again, you must find out the protection of the devils along the railway line in order to formulate a feasible plan.

For this reason, Feng Tiandong prepared to go out of the city to investigate. Under the guise of this, he first came to the army hospital, and at the same time, he also had to talk to Jiro Yoshida about the arms deal.

For the sake of safety, Feng Tiandong did not list any heavy weapons in the list of his first arms deal with Jiro Yoshida, but only 100 ordinary rifles, 10 pistols, and 20,000 rounds of ammunition.

This list can be interpreted in any way, and it can be regarded as the need of some large families to take care of the home.

Jiro Yoshida looked at the list and shook his head, showing a disappointed expression, obviously thinking that the number was too small. Still, he was very careful to put the list away. After that, the two chatted casually.

"Yoshida-kun, what kind of rifle can you provide, the buyer is very concerned about this issue." Feng Tiandong asked in a low voice.

"The rifles are all made in China and Hanyang, and the pistols are German Mauser." Jiro Yoshida replied.

Hearing Jiro Yoshida say the brand of these rifles, Feng Tiandong was already able to vaguely guess the source of their weapons. Last time, he heard Li Yonghe say that the devils had seized a large amount of ** equipment and were going to use it to arm the North China Pacification Army, so it seems that their arms must be related to those captured equipment.

"What else can be offered besides rifles and pistols?" Feng Tiandong asked again.

Hearing Feng Tiandong ask about this, Jiro Yoshida also became cautious, approached Feng Tiandong, a little mysterious, and also whispered: "Czech machine guns and mortars." ”

Then he said: "It's just that there won't be a lot of shells, and the price will be very high, and these things can be more profitable than rifles." ”

Feng Tiandong's eyes lit up, mortars, that's a good thing, the current Eighth Route Army can't even guarantee a gun, let alone artillery, a regiment may not be able to have one, the grenadier he took back casually last time made Lu Chunming happy for a long time.

The Eighth Route Army was very hard, with poor food, weapons and ammunition, and there was no guarantee that every soldier would have a gun. Even a soldier with a gun, each person only has three or five bullets in his hand, and after the fight, he can only fight hand-to-hand with the devil. But their physical fitness is not as good as that of the devil, and their training is not as good as the devil system, and it often takes two or three people to deal with one devil.

It is said that marksmanship is fed by bullets, but some soldiers of our Eighth Route Army have not even been trained with live ammunition before going to the battlefield.

Knowing the weakness of the Eighth Route Army, the devils also became very cunning, and even if they lost the battle, they often destroyed their weapons and ammunition before defeat, so that the capture of the Eighth Route Army was not very many.

It is because of this understanding of these situations that Feng Tiandong will do everything possible to help the Eighth Route Army obtain some weapons and ammunition, although it is only a drop in the bucket, but it is better than nothing.

Every time he blew up the devil army train and ammunition depot, he always thought in his heart when he would be able to seize his train of weapons and ammunition, it would be a pity to blow it up.

Leaving the army hospital, Feng Tiandong did not return to the city, but quietly left Guhuai and came to the side of Pinghan Road, hiding in the grass next to the railway, looking at the railway line.

I don't know if I don't see it, I was shocked when I saw it, although it was still daytime, and the devil's protection of the railway did not mean to relax at all, and it seemed that a lot of effort had been put into it.

On both sides of the railway, patrols appeared incessantly, and on the railway, every hour or so, an ironclad car passed by.

Densely packed turrets, a few miles apart, guarded on both sides of the railroad like monsters, and machine guns were all mounted on the roofs of the turrets.

Seeing such strict protection, Feng Tiandong's scalp was numb for a while. It's still daylight, and it's still when no military columns have passed. If there is a military train passing, if it is night, the railway will definitely be more closely protected.

Feng Tiandong moved quietly, came to the vicinity of one of the devil's turrets, hid in the grass and observed carefully, he found that there were many puppet soldiers and devils stationed in each turret, and those patrols on the railway were composed of them.

Each patrol has a devil and seven or eight puppet soldiers. Under the leadership of the devils, they patrolled back and forth between the two turrets, and it took almost less than 20 minutes to make a round trip.

Approaching the turret, the observation is clearer, in addition to the machine gun on the top of the turret, there are also two searchlights on it, presumably prepared for the night. On the second and third floors of the turret, a machine gun also stretched out to catch the eye, aiming at the railway line.

Far away from the turret, he quietly came to a dry drainage ditch, where Feng Tiandong was lying, grabbed a few handfuls of dead grass from the side, and covered himself, he wanted to wait here until it was dark, ready to observe the devil's protection of the railway at night.

Lying in the grass, Feng Tiandong remained motionless and waited quietly.

At this time, his mind was racing fast, thinking about how to complete the mission, and if the timed explosion did not work, what better way could he take it, which was to bury explosives on the railway in advance and detonate them from a distance.

In this way, they are faced with a difficult problem, that is, how to dig a pit and bury explosives under the continuous patrol of the devil puppet army and under the searchlights sweeping around the turret, which is a problem that must be solved.

I couldn't figure it out for the time being, so Feng Tiandong didn't think about it, closed his eyes, seized the time to rest, and made a decision after observing it at night.

The situation at night is not much different from that during the day, and it is estimated that the devil has reached the limit of this state, but the searchlights on the roof of each turret are turned on, and the railway line around the turret is swept from time to time.

Fortunately, he could feel that it was the puppet army who operated the searchlight at the top of the turret, and he might be sleepy at night, and he seemed a little absent-minded, but he was just shining indiscriminately, and it was very likely that he might not follow the light to observe. This is a loophole.

Feng Tiandong did not leave immediately, but lay in the grass and continued to think quietly, he was thinking about how to complete the task of blowing up the devil's army vehicle.

According to the devil's protection of the railway at night, Feng Tiandong preliminarily designed an action plan, but this plan may be a bit big, I don't know if Huang Zhiquan can approve it.

In order for this plan to be implemented, Feng Tiandong did not rest all night, and made a detailed reconnaissance of the nearly 20-kilometer railway on both sides of Guhuai Station, and found out the two turrets that were the farthest apart.

This place is seven or eight miles away from the Guhuai station, and the walls of the Guhuai can be seen in the distance to the east of the railway, and on the west is a large area of cultivated land, because it is winter, and the fields are desolate and overgrown with withered grass.

Because the two turrets are the farthest apart, the devil patrol takes the longest and longest time to go back and forth, and the searchlight on the upper floor is also the weakest when it sweeps the middle of the two turrets.

This is where Feng Tiandong is ready to take action.
