Considering that the front-line troops were in urgent need of ammunition, the military train that had been loaded and stopped at the Jinzhong Railway Station was loaded early in the morning, and the train immediately departed for Qi County overnight as the Qi County garrison sent a telegram to report that the railway had been repaired.

Compared to the risk of daytime travel, the risk of train traffic at night is also not small. It was only after the train started that the Japanese army notified all the strongholds along the train line to immediately carry out patrols and vigilance to ensure the safety of the train.

If there is an enemy situation, it will be reported immediately, and the military column can also avoid danger in time. Even in order to ensure the safety of the train, the escort troops sent by the Jinzhong garrison this time were twice as many troops as before.

In addition to the troops on standby in the carriages, the Japanese also set up machine-gun positions above the columns. As soon as a person is seen approaching a train, the machine guns lying on the train will open fire to kill the approacher.

This situation was still relatively common during the Anti-Japanese War. If you change to the speed of the train in later generations, it is estimated that it is unlikely that you will want to build machine gun positions on the carriages. The speed of the train alone will blow people and objects away from the carriage.

But nowadays, the speed of trains is not fast, but the endurance is relatively long-lasting, and there is enough fuel and water supply, and the train can run uninterrupted. And this time, the military train was also ordered not to stop at various stations along the line.

In a word, this train transporting munitions must arrive at Dongguan Railway Station in the shortest possible time. In order to ensure the safety of this train, the vicinity of Dongguan Railway Station was also surrounded by Japanese puppet regiments.

As for the Japanese strongholds along the railway line in Taigu, the Taigu garrison officer personally called to inquire about the situation. After confirming that no enemy was found in any of the bases, the Taigu garrison also breathed a sigh of relief.

But even so, the Japanese troops stationed in Taigu were always on standby in the barracks. In the event of an accident on a train, these troops on standby will immediately depart. Once the train has an accident in Taigu, the Taigu garrison will not be able to eat and walk around.

After receiving a telegram from the Taigu Garrison Headquarters, Zhao Tiehu immediately ordered the troops to go to stand guard on both sides of the railway, waiting for the arrival of the little devil army. Just while standing guard, Zhao Tiehu also ordered the removal of a section of railroad tracks.

Finding a corner of the railway, Zhao Tiehu ordered: "Tear down this section of the railway!" I'd like to see how the little devil's train will turn around when it gets here! In addition, ambush positions are set up on both sides.

Once the train derails and capsizes, you must surround the train at the first opportunity. As long as I see a living little devil, I will be killed. As soon as the battle was over, supplies were rushed to be transported and everything on the train was removed. ”

Considering that there were not many troops at hand, Zhao Tiehu said again: "Lao Liu, send someone to the independent battalion, and ask Battalion Commander Zhang to transfer a company, change into the clothes of the puppet army, and be a sentry for the little devils along the line, and leave the ambush to us." ”

'Yes, Company Commander! ’

By the way, ask him when the people who came to carry the supplies will arrive? Depending on the time, the train will pass us after a maximum of two hours. Therefore, if you are looking for something to move, you must be fast. ’

'Good! I remembered! ’

Zhang Mingxiang, who was informed, also sent a messenger without saying a word, rode a horse to inform the villagers who had already been prepared, and began to push the wheelbarrow, donkey cart and ox cart, and immediately rushed to the Wangzhuang stronghold.

In addition, Zhang Mingxiang, who arrived at the demolition site in person, also said with a smile: "Old company commander, wait to fight the little devils, let our battalion also help the field, right?" There are too many recruits in our battalion, and we also need to practice in actual combat! ”

'! The recruits can't do it, what if someone shoots in advance and alarms the little devils? ’

"Old company commander, don't worry, wait for the people I sent, new recruits and veterans matched." With veterans watching, these recruits shouldn't be so bearish. What's more, there is also the old company commander by your side, do those rabbit cubs dare to come nonsense? ’

Looking at Zhang Mingxiang's longing look, Zhao Tiehu thought about it and could only say, "Okay! You hurry up and send people over, and wait for my troops to set up ambushes on both sides. Remember, when fighting, let them try to be a little more careful.

This is actual combat, not child's play, even if the little devil falls dizzy, it can't be underestimated. If we really want them to react, I guess our casualties will not be too small. So, once there's a firefight, it has to be fast, you know? ”

'Understood! Old company commander, please rest assured, these soldiers under my command are not bears! ’

With Zhao Tiehu's consent, Zhang Mingxiang immediately asked the deputy battalion commander around him to pick people. According to the one-to-two combination of new and veterans, more than 100 people were soon brought in. Seeing these soldiers who had changed their clothes, Zhao Tiehu felt that they looked okay.

But he still said: "Comrades, what are we going to do next, I believe your battalion commander and company commander have already said." I just want to emphasize one point, and that is to obey orders. Without my orders, no one would dare me to lie down and not look up casually.

Only when the little devil's train overturns, we will attack. When attacking, you must also follow the veterans around you, and don't rush forward in a swarm. Learn more from the veterans around you, have you memorized them? ”

'Remember! ’

'Good! I won't say more, now that time is pressing, since you are here, then hurry up and help dig hidden fortifications. As for how to dig hidden fortifications, just learn how to dig with my troops, and get moving! ’

Zhang Mingxiang, who was standing beside Zhao Tiehu, looked at these soldiers under Zhao Tiehu's command, almost everyone had a small shovel that he had never seen before, and said curiously: "Old company commander, this shovel looks like I haven't seen it!" However, digging doesn't seem like a lot of work! ”

This is a sapper shovel, which I made with a blacksmith. If you really want to say it, it is estimated that it is the only one in the whole army. You kid won't ask this for no reason, when the battle is over, give you two back, and you can let the blacksmith follow suit.

This kind of sapper shovel should be beaten with a good iron, and I think this rail is good. If you don't think it's heavy, when it's time to carry the supplies, transport these dismantled rails back to the base area, and let the blacksmith melt them and use them as labor shovels.

Don't look at this thing, it is small, it can be chopped and chopped, and it can also dig fortifications. Even if there is a white-knuckle battle, this shovel is slapped over, and it is estimated that the little devil will be finished. It's just that you have to keep this thing safe, and you can't let anyone steal it.

If you really want the little devils to see this sapper shovel, they will definitely produce it secretly. So, don't think this thing is inconspicuous, but it can be very useful. When sending it down, it's best to do it with a dedicated person. ’

'Yes, I'll definitely pay attention!' ’

In addition to demolishing the railroad tracks under the stronghold, Zhao Tiehu also asked Sun Jie to lead a combat team to touch a railway point ten miles away from the Wangzhuang stronghold, and began to plant explosives under the railroad tracks in front.

The intention of this is also very simple, that is, to blow up the railway into the stronghold of Wangzhuang. Let the little devils give up the railway to transport troops, and they must rush to the Wangzhuang stronghold on foot. And the timing of the explosion is when the little devil reinforcements appear.

At least until the little devil found out that the railway was robbed, Zhao Tiehu would not startle the snake. It's just that once the battle on the side of the Wangzhuang stronghold starts, it is estimated that the two Japanese strongholds not far from the Wangzhuang stronghold can also hear the movement.

It's just that compared to the defenders who blocked these two strongholds, what really needed to be worried was the large number of Japanese puppet troops who came from the county seat. But even so, Zhao Tiehu felt that it would be safer to annihilate the defenders of the stronghold who rushed to support first.

Even when arranging the battle plan, Zhao Tiehu discussed with Zhang Mingxiang and asked him to send two companies to the two Japanese strongholds in front and behind the Wangzhuang stronghold to stand by. As soon as the little devil of that stronghold is dispatched, immediately start an attack on that stronghold.

If we can pass tonight's battle, we can remove a few Japanese strongholds along the railway. Then it will also be of great benefit to the activities of the independent battalion in Taigu in the future.

Just hearing this suggestion, Zhang Mingxiang said with a little worry: "Old company commander, transfer a company over, what should I do here?" ”

'Are you stupid? Even if the little devil gets the news and wants to rush from the county seat to support, it is estimated that the speed is not so fast. And if you take down the strongholds of Xinzhuang and Wujia Village, and immediately rush back to support, you will definitely be faster than the little devils in time.

If these two strongholds can be removed, plus the stronghold of Wangzhuang that I have captured, then these dozens of highways and railway lines will definitely be difficult for the little devils to hold in a short time. When the time comes, won't your independent battalion be able to develop in this direction? ’

Zhao Tiehu, who made this decision, also hoped to take advantage of a time difference. Once the Japanese troops in the front and rear strongholds heard the news, it is believed that there are not many defenders left in their strongholds. There is a company attacking and sneaking attack, which should be able to take down.

Even if these two strongholds are hit, it is estimated that the little devils in Taigu will be confused, thinking that there are large troops of the Eighth Route Army in Taigu. Even if they come to help, they will probably become more cautious.

After some discussion, Zhao Tiehu thought for a while and said, "I have two mortars in my hand, and I will transfer my artillery team to you later." A company commander with a mortar is expected to be able to take these two strongholds in the shortest possible time.

When you're done cleaning up the battlefield, you'll blow up both of these strongholds. Even if the little devil will rebuild it in the future, it will take time. In this time, it will be enough for you to digest the fruits of this victory! ”

In order to ensure the smooth capture of the two surrounding strongholds, the two mortars were also lent to Zhang Mingxiang for use, and in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, the offensive firepower of the two companies could also be strengthened. Such a good thing, I believe that Zhang Mingxiang should not refuse as long as he is not stupid!
