Chapter 186: Night Attack on Hefei (4)
As soon as the order was given, Bai Fei and all the special combat team members immediately boarded the train. Five minutes later, the newly filled lump of coal in the furnace at the head of the train was burning, and the steam engine connected to it immediately puffed up with puffs of white smoke.
One of the special operators shouted "go" and jerked off one of the handles in the front of the locomotive that was connected to the steam engine and train transmission. Suddenly, there was a sound of wheels rubbing against the rails, and the train, driven by the steam engine, began to move forward slowly, then faster and faster, faster and faster, and finally ran up.
Seeing that the train was running, Li Hu looked very happy.
Bai Fei said: "Don't be too happy, there are still two divisions of the Japanese army in the west, whether we can rush out is still unknown." ”
Li Hu said: "Hefei is not far from Lu'an, aren't the 13th and 16th divisions of the Japanese army quite far away from the railway, can't we rush out of Hefei before they react?" ”
Bai Fei shook his head and said, "It won't be that simple..."He was about to say "It is impossible for the Japanese army not to deploy troops along the railway", but when he saw Li Kuan running over with a sweaty face, he asked: "Is there any news from Song Xilian's side?" ”
Li Kuan said: "Yes, Tuanza." This time, fortunately, we sent a telegram to Song Xilian in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”
Originally, to the west of Hefei, there are two railways, one is Hefei to Huangchuan and then to Xinyang through Lu'an; The other is Hefei through Lu'an through the Dabie Mountains to Wuhan. Therefore, after Song Xilian occupied Lu'an, he ordered people to plant explosives under all the railways in the area a few kilometers east of Lu'an, the purpose of which was to blow up these two railways when the Japanese army invaded Lu'an in the west, so as to achieve the purpose of blocking the speed of the Japanese army's march.
It's just that the Japanese army did not counterattack Lu'an at the first time, which surprised Song Xilian, so the plan to bomb the railway was temporarily shelved, but the explosives buried under the railway were still buried there, and they were guarded at all times and could be detonated at any time.
Just imagine, if Bai Fei didn't say hello tonight and drove the devil's train to the west to break into Liu'an, he would be 100% regarded by Song Xilian's people as the Japanese invasion troops, and Bai Fei and the others would inevitably end up with a car crash and death...
Li Kuan explained, and everyone was scared into a cold sweat when they heard it.
Li Hu said: "My God, it's so dangerous, if you die at the hands of your own people, it will be too wrong." ”
Li Kuan said: "But it's not, if it weren't for this telegram, even if we rushed out of Hefei safely, it is estimated that it would be more than lucky..."
Bai Fei shook his head and said, "Don't say these words for now, the most important question now is, how to rush through the devil's sphere of influence safely and quickly?" I think that the railway along the dozens of kilometers from Hefei to Lu'an, there will be a large number of devils guarding, if we can't break out of the devil's encirclement, or the devils find out the clues, blow up the west railway in advance, what should we do then? ”
The three of them frowned and thought about the problem, and there was no good coping strategy for a while. However, taking advantage of this effort, the train has already driven to the area of Zhang Mill.
Zhang Mill is located at the intersection of three forks, where the road and railway transportation arteries meet, so the Japanese 13th Division is stationed here with a brigade of troops.
In the middle of the night, a train suddenly headed west, making a huge noise, although more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers here were shaken, but the Japanese army was defenseless, and second, the speed of the steam train driven by Bai Fei and others had been increased to the limit, and the Japanese army had no time to stop it, but the train had already whistled past.
Seeing this, the Japanese officer led by him immediately reported the situation to his superiors after scolding a few words, but unexpectedly, the news was soon reported to the 13th Division. However, at this time, the commander of the 13th Division of the Japanese Army, Ogisu Tatsubing, was sleeping, and the attendant officer felt that the matter was very important after receiving the letter, so he woke him up from his dream.
After the attendant explained the situation, the Ogizhou soldiers immediately woke up with a spirit, and completely woke up.
He asked, "Baga, have they figured out who drove the train?" ”
The attendant said: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, because it is dark and the train speed is fast, it is impossible to determine who it is..."
"Idiot! Eater! Ogizhou Libing scolded a few words, and then said, "So where is that train going now?" ”
The attendant said: "I just received a report from the garrison near Wu Tuan Mountain, the train from the city to the west has broken through their defense line, and now it is estimated that it is near Xiaoyao." ”
Ogishu immediately said, "Which one of our garrisons do we have nearby?" ”
The attendant said: "The nearest one brigade to the west is one brigade of the horse oil mill, and further west, there are two brigades of the Sendai 104 Wing near Tang Laozhuang. ”
"Yo Xi!" Ogisu said: "Immediately let them find a way to stop that train, and if necessary, even if they blow up the railway." ”
"Hay!" The attendant then departed.
But soon another attendant ran in and said anxiously: "Your Excellency the division commander, just now there is news from the city that there has been a big explosion in the military headquarters building of the Second Army, and the entire building has been blown up..."
"What ?!!" The Ogishu soldiers were like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the whole person was shocked beyond measure. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the clothes on his chest, and said sharply, "You say it again? What happened to the Second Military Department? Did you find His Excellency King Minoru Higashikuremiya? Is there anything wrong with him? ”
As soon as Ogizhou Libing heard the news, he immediately became confused, and his heart was pounding because of extreme nervousness.
The squire was stunned and stammered, "Uh... Your Excellency the Division Commander... The military headquarters building in the city... There was an explosion, and the whole building... The entire building has been bombed into ruins, and now there is chaos everywhere, so far no trace of His Excellency Minoru Higashikuremiya has been found, and the garrison and gendarmerie are rummaging through the rubble..."
"Yaga!" Ogisu Libing knocked him to the ground: "Send someone to look for it immediately, if you can't find it, or if His Excellency King Minoru of the East Kure Palace has some mistake, I will shoot you..."
"Huh... Hail!"
The Ogisu soldiers were anxious and kept walking back and forth. The attack on the military headquarters made him sit on pins and needles, and he was restless. This matter is so big that it may not even be able to carry a dignified division commander, if King Minoru Higashikurenomiya really wants to have some three strengths and two weaknesses, he will definitely be implicated because of this, not only may the position of division commander not be guaranteed, but may even face prison.
Moreover, not only himself, but also the commander of the 16th Division, Keisuke Fujie, may also face the same dilemma as him.
Thinking of this, Ogisu Libing grabbed the phone, and planned to call Fujie Keisuke to discuss countermeasures first, but the attendant from before suddenly ran in again, and saluted: "Your Excellency the division commander, we have found the traces of His Excellency King Minoruhiko of Higashikuremi..."
"Huh? Your Excellency King Yan, he doesn't have anything to do, right? Where is he now? Hearing this, Ogishu Libing immediately asked.
The attendant said: "According to the report of the defenders of the horse oil mill, on the front of the train that left the Hefei railway station and kept going west, there was a naked person tied to it, it seems that it was His Excellency the king of the East Kure Palace Minoru that we were looking for.
"Nani?!"
