Chapter 26 The explosion of the power plant
Zaozhuang Coal Mine has a long history, and since the mining in Guangxu year, it has been well-known at home and abroad for its abundant production of high-quality coking coal. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info For such a high-quality coal mine, the little devil has naturally coveted it for a long time and wants to take it for himself.
With the little devils occupying Shandong and entering Zaozhuang, the workers and mine managers who were in charge of coal mine production tasks earlier naturally ran away. After taking over the coal mine, the little devil naturally hoped that the coal mine could resume production as soon as possible.
In order to recruit the miners to go down the mine again, the little devils adopted the method of threats and inducements, and used the traitor spy organizations such as the 'Maintenance Association' and the 'Xuanfu Class' organized by local ruffians and hooligans to do deception, propaganda and even forcibly arrest workers everywhere.
In the coal mines that are currently in production, a large number of miners are prisoners of war captured by the Japanese army on the battlefield earlier. For the little devils, these prisoners of war are undoubtedly the best coolies, and heavy troops are stationed in the mining areas to force the prisoners of war to mine.
According to the information collected by the reconnaissance detachment and the intelligence station, in the short period of less than a year that the little devils occupied the coal mine, as many as several hundred prisoners of war died in the mining area due to hunger, disease and other factors.
Looking at the information sent back by the reconnaissance detachment, Zhao Tiehu quickly instructed: "Find out the military defense map of the little devil in the mining area, and at the same time strictly investigate the traitor spies who act as the accomplices of the little devil, and make a list of hoes and rapes."
Compared to the little devils in these mining areas, these traitor spies are more damned. This time, I want to let those traitor spies in the mining area know that they will help the abuse. When attacking the mines, these people are all gone! ”
In Zhao Tiehu's view, after the little devil occupied the Zaozhuang Coal Mine, he was able to resume production in the mining area so quickly, which also had a lot to do with these traitor spies. Without the support of these people, it would not be so easy for the little devil to control the mining area.
The forcible arrest of a large number of miners is bound to arouse the anger of the surrounding people. But these traitor spies acted as accomplices to lure nearby young people to work in the mines, which undoubtedly made many people feel that it was these recruiters who were really hateful.
And this time in the coal mine, Zhao Tiehu hopes to destroy the coal mine and make the coal mine unable to operate for a short time. In addition, the prisoners of war and Qingzhuang, who were guarded in the coal mine by the little devils, were also the objects he hoped to rescue.
After nearly a week of reconnaissance, the reconnaissance detachment was able to have a clear understanding of the situation in the mining area. On Zhao Tiehu's side, he has been waiting for news on the railway, hoping to confirm the arrival time of the robbery train as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Tan Changze did not disappoint Zhao Tiehu, and after a period of inquiry, he quickly confirmed a train from Tianyin. On this train, the little devil loaded a large amount of winter supplies and a batch of weapons and ammunition.
With this information, Zhao Tiehu called Song Dabao to the command headquarters and said, "There is news from Laotan that a train will pass through Zaozhuang tomorrow. For specific information about this train, Lao Tan will also tell you at that time.
Tonight, you will lead your troops down the mountain and set up an ambush on the railway line. During this time, the reconnaissance team of the first detachment basically figured out the situation of the little devil's patrol. All you have to do is get rid of the patrol squad of the little devils.
Later, I will take my direct detachment to the coal mine and launch an attack on the mine in the early hours of tomorrow morning. Remember, you're running out of time, settle the battle and move supplies as soon as possible. Once the little devils react, we will also be in danger.
You're in charge of this battle, and I hope you'll be able to demoralize a detachment. As for the task of blocking and assisting, the two teams will cooperate well at that time. Strive to move all the supplies before tomorrow night. ”
'Yes, please rest assured, our detachment will not let you down. ’
As a detachment of the task force, Song Dabao also knows that if he wants to gain progress and recognition in the task force in the future, he must show enough combat exploits and achievements. The fact that he is the conductor this time is undoubtedly also a sign of trust in him.
After all, compared to him who joined the detachment from the Zhongyan Army in the later period, Li Chengwu of the second detachment was a subordinate of Zhao Tiehu. But this time he robbed the little devil's train, but Zhao Tiehu asked him to take the lead. This trust is really rare!
After explaining some things, Zhao Tiehu quickly left with the remaining soldiers of the directly subordinate detachment. Along with Zhao Tiehu, there was also the third detachment, which was not too far from the coal mine.
Since formulating the battle plan, Zhu Zixi, who returned to the detachment, gave the order for the combat assembly. Together with the guerrillas directly under the detachment, they were also given instructions to be on standby.
When the detachment's combat order was issued, the third detachment drove out of Yufengling in the evening and went to the combat area designated by Zhao Tiehu to assemble and stand by. And all this, the little devils stationed near the coal mine do not know.
Zhao Tiehu and his entourage, who arrived at the mining area, looked at the guerrillas with excited expressions, and also knew that for this guerrilla team formed in the mining area, they undoubtedly hated the little devils in the mining area.
It's just that after arriving at the mining area, Zhao Tiehu did not go to the mining area as soon as possible, but instead took his direct detachment to the power plant not far from the mining area and was also guarded by little devils.
The guerrillas, who were in charge of acting as guides, said with a little curiosity: "Chief, aren't we fighting coal mines?" How to get here? ”
'A lot of equipment in the coal mine needs electricity. If the power is cut off, I believe that the little devils in the mining area will not be able to illuminate. Calculate the shift time of the coal mine, and blow up the power plant as soon as the miners who have gone down the mine come up. ’
'Yes, Captain! ’
After several days of on-the-spot reconnaissance, with the cooperation of the underground party in the mining area, several people from the reconnaissance team of the directly subordinate detachment also sneaked into the mining area to stand by. After Zhao Tiehu arrived, he also sent a team from his direct detachment to sneak into the mining area and stand by.
A few days ago, the underground party sent weapons and ammunition to the mining area, and after the battle began, I believe that a group of prisoners of war can be organized to join the offensive camp in a very short time. In this case, it is believed that the defenders of the mining area will also be caught off guard.
Looking at the power plant in front of him stationed by a squadron of little devils, Zhao Tiehu knew that the electricity generated by this power plant was not only supplied to the mining area for production, but also a line was sent to Zaozhuang to provide lighting for some people in the city.
In the process of reconnoitring the power plant, the third detachment, which set off in the evening, also quickly arrived near the mining area. After the two troops were connected, Zhao Tiehu gave the order to attack the power plant.
Called Zhu Zixi to his side and said, "Wait for the power plant, I will leave a combat team to cooperate with you." On your side, leave two combat squads, and the rest of the troops will be transferred to the mining area to launch a feint attack from the periphery to attract the firepower of the little devils.
The guerrillas were responsible for picking up the miners from the mines, and as soon as they came out, they were taken to relocate. The matter of blocking the attack will be handed over to the main force at that time. Assign tasks and get moving! ”
With Zhao Tiehu's order to divide the troops, the combat team members who lurked into the power plant in advance carried the prepared time bomb and installed it in the boiler room of the power plant.
In the event of an explosion, I believe that the power will be very amazing. In addition, a combat team lurking into the power plant is also quietly waiting for the moment of explosion. And outside the power plant, there were also offensive units of the third detachment.
The workers who were filling the boiler of the power plant were knocked unconscious and carried away by the fighters when they entered the boiler room. After the brigade time bomb was placed, the fighters quickly hid far away from the boiler room.
Leaving two combat team members behind, you need to calculate the time to attract the little devils from the power plant. Looking at the pointer on the pocket watch, there was less than a minute left before the explosion, and one of the team members said: "Put two shots and run away!" ”
Two gunshots rang out, which immediately attracted the Japanese puppet army on duty at the power plant. Many little devils who stayed in the house ran out of the room very quickly and shouted: "Where are the guns? Where did the guns go off? ”
The sound of gunfire is undoubtedly a very sensitive sound for soldiers. The little devil who was patrolling the power plant soon discovered that the gunshots were coming from the boiler room. While reporting, I ran to the boiler room.
And the combat team members who fired two shots naturally won't stay here. They all know that once the boiler room is detonated, the power must not be small. If it's too close, it's estimated that it may really suffer.
Just as many Japanese puppet soldiers were running towards the boiler room, the expected explosion finally sounded. Looking at the huge flames formed after the boiler room was detonated, the guerrillas lying outside also felt that the ground was shaking.
'Oh my! The power of this explosion is too great! ’
The brunt of the explosion was undoubtedly borne by the defenders of the power plant, who rushed to the boiler room to check on the situation. The fastest patrolling Japanese soldier exploded as soon as he stepped into the boiler room. This explosion naturally left their bones gone.
The other Japanese puppet troops who rushed to check the situation were also overturned by the huge blast wave. In the face of the sudden huge explosion, the power plant, which was originally brightly lit, fell into darkness in an instant.
In this pitch-black situation, the combat team members who had been ambushed in the power plant in advance, after rushing out of the shadows, fired desperately at the place where the foreign devils gathered and the sentry post of the power plant. For a time, the entire power plant burst into gunfire.
The coal mine, not far from the power plant, was completely alarmed when the boiler room was detonated. The garrison stationed in the mining area immediately realized that something was wrong at the power plant.
The coal mine, due to the lack of power supply, is also in a dark situation. Even if the little devils quickly organized people to find lighting, they also strictly ordered the laborers and prisoners of war in the mining area not to move around at will.
Shortly after the garrison of the mining area quickly dispatched a squadron to the power plant to carry out the rescue. Taking advantage of the moment when the searchlight was out of effect, Zhao Tiehu had already taken his combat team members and successfully infiltrated the mining area to meet the team members inside.
Looking at the little devils who were in charge of guarding and began to patrol back and forth in the mining area, after Zhao Tiehu made the gesture of 'start action', the three combat teams quickly dispersed to all parts of the mining area.
And at this moment, in the prisoner of war camp guarded by the little devils, several prisoners of war who had contact with the underground party earlier were also secretly assembled together. Looking at the weapons and ammunition taken out of the ground, the faces of several prisoners of war immediately showed ecstatic expressions.
They knew that with these weapons and ammunition, maybe it would be possible for them to escape from this hellish place today. Even if they die in the next battle, I'm afraid that they will also feel calm. After all, the days of the prisoner of war camp are really dark!
