Chapter 140: The Miserable Reinforcements (Ask for the First Order)
The Dongguan Railway Station in Qi County was attacked before, and the Taigu garrison felt that the Qi County garrison was quite unlucky, and he had such a troublesome matter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info But he never imagined that a few days later it would be his turn to do something more unlucky.
This time, the military train from Jinzhong was loaded with a large number of weapons, ammunition and materials urgently needed by the front-line troops. It can be said that if this batch of weapons, ammunition and materials cannot be transported to the front line in time, the consequences can be imagined.
Once the front-line troops fall into a situation of running out of ammunition and food, or have to hurriedly end the campaign to encircle and suppress the southwest of Jin, then the Taigu garrison and the Qi County garrison will be dealt with by the angry Mei Yan Mijiro.
Originally, when the military train set off, the Taigu garrison officer was ready for an accident. But when he really received a call from the Xinzhuang stronghold, the Taigu garrison also felt anger and fear. The consequences of being court-martialed are undoubtedly the cost of life.
Thinking that Taigu City was far away from Wangzhuang's stronghold, the Taigu garrison immediately thought of a freight train at the railway station. The troops on standby will be assembled and divided into two groups by train and car, and rush to the Wangzhuang stronghold as quickly as possible.
When the train carrying the first batch of support troops arrived not far from the Wujiazhuang stronghold, the driver in charge of driving the train braked sharply with a panicked face. It doesn't matter if you brake this one, many of the little devils who stayed in the cargo compartment staggered in an instant.
'Yaga! What's going on? Why did the train stop suddenly? ’
Just when the Japanese soldiers in the carriage began to complain about the sudden stop of the train, they saw that the locomotive had derailed but finally stopped. The little devil who was in charge of driving the train seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
If you really want to break off the tracks, then the result of the Japanese troops staying in the train can be imagined. When a soldier pulled open the carriage and saw that the front of the car had detached from the tracks, he finally understood why the train had braked suddenly.
'Get off, hurry up, the railroad is damaged and can't move on. Next, it's time to walk forward! ’
As the Japanese soldiers who got off the train found that the railway had been damaged and the train could not pass normally at all, the Japanese soldiers who had come down from the carriages one after another quickly lined up next to the train and prepared to walk to the Wangzhuang stronghold.
The Japanese soldier who led the troops, Miyata Konan, inspected the bombed-out railway under the protection of the soldiers, and said with a slightly solemn expression: "This is nearly five kilometers away from the Wujiazhuang stronghold. This place has been bombed, and I'm afraid something will happen to the stronghold! ”
'Shaozuo, what should I do next?' The enemy deliberately wanted to blow up a section of the railway, presumably in the hope of delaying our arrival. It seems that it is necessary for us to march to the stronghold of Wangzhuang in a hurry, and if it is too late, things will change! ’
A Japanese captain who accompanied Miyata Konan said these words with a somewhat serious and worried expression. As the officers of the Japanese army stationed in Taigu, if something really happened to the military column, they would not be able to escape the punishment of dereliction of duty.
Even the most unlucky is the garrison officer, but as the commander of the troops stationed in Taigu, these squadron leaders and captains are afraid that they will not have any good fruit to eat. If you are punished for dereliction of duty, it will be very difficult to be promoted in the future.
'Yo! Command the troops, search along the railway line to advance. Send a squad to act as an outpost and spy on the situation along the way. Let's go to the Wujiazhuang stronghold first, I'm worried that something may happen to the Wujiazhuang stronghold. ’
'Hey! ’
More than 300 Japanese soldiers who came by car began to advance in battle formation towards the Wujiazhuang stronghold. Sun Jie, who had been hiding near the railway early in the morning, also felt that these little devils were very alert, and the train did not derail.
Looking at the Japanese troops who began to march towards the Wujiazhuang stronghold, Sun Jie turned around and said, "Go, talk to the commander of the fourth company of the independent battalion, and say that the little devil has come." We'll hold them off here for a while, and let them quickly retreat to the second line of defense. ”
'Yes, Captain! ’
After sending a messenger to deliver a message to the fourth company of the independent battalion that had taken down the Wujiazhuang stronghold and was cleaning the battlefield and counting supplies. Sun Jie and his fighters began to divide into several combat groups and waited for concealment along the railway line.
When the Japanese search team walked past the bombed-out railroad not long ago, a little devil who was moving suddenly noticed that his foot was tripped, and when he looked down, he saw something smoking.
Just as I was wondering what was coming from the smoke, two pulled grenades exploded instantly. After two 'booms', several little devils who stayed beside him were quickly hit by flying shrapnel and rubble.
'There is an ambush, hidden, ready to fight!' ’
When the squad leader saw the explosion in front of him, he immediately shouted the order to 'prepare for battle'. Just as the team was scattered and hidden, one after another the mines that had been laid in advance were tripped one after another.
The large Japanese troops who were staying behind to follow up naturally accelerated when they heard the explosion from the search team in front of them. At this moment, the combat team members who were hiding not far from the vicinity began to raise their guns to shoot the little devils shrouded in the firelight.
The Japanese searchers, who were a little dizzy by the bombing, were quickly killed several more soldiers in the course of this round of shooting. After all the little devils were lying on the spot, the combat team that fired the gun picked up the gun and ran to the back.
According to the order given by Sun Jie earlier, each combat squad did not seek results, but only asked for a little more delay. Now that the little devils are all lying down, they dare to continue to advance only when they want to wait for the large army in the rear to arrive.
And the large army of the little devils arrived, and it was believed that they would also have to search the battle formation before they dared to continue to advance. Even if the delay is not long every time, but it can be delayed all the way, I am afraid that the little devil will not be able to move forward quickly.
The longer the delay, the safer the villagers who were responsible for transporting the supplies, and the more time the troops who were building the barrage could get to rest. And this kind of blockade itself is not too dangerous.
After all, compared to the Japanese troops who searched and advanced along the railway, Sun Jie's detachment, which was responsible for blocking the attack, was hiding in the shadows. As long as you shoot a few little devils and leave, you don't entangle with the little devils at all, so naturally there is no risk.
Seeing that the search team suffered nearly half of the casualties, Miyata Konan, who learned the news, was also angry and said: "Baga! These damn sneak attackers, order the grenadiers to open fire and cover our troops' attack. I'd like to see who's against us! ”
The grenadier squad, who received the order, looked at the bushes a hundred meters ahead, and quickly fired shells. It's a pity that the combat team members who were hiding there earlier have run out of the range of the shelling at this moment, and these shells are obviously wasted.
Under the cover of the grenadiers, a combat squad cautiously advanced in battle formation. As a result, it was clear that there was no attack at all. It's just that there are still a few little devils who are walking in front of the team, and they are half blown to death.
In this way, the Japanese army, who stopped all the way, was dragged by Sun Jie's combat detachment and wanted to die. As the attacks followed, the wounded continued to be transported back to the train that had stopped earlier.
Looking at these wounded people who were carried back, the Japanese soldiers who were in charge of staying behind also felt a little inexplicable. From the beginning of their entry into Shanxi, such a scene is rare. And today, with so many casualties, it is not even possible to see the enemy.
When Miyamoto Xingnan arrived at the Wujiazhuang stronghold with a lot of losses, looking at the dark stronghold, he had already guessed that the defenders of this stronghold had been captured by the attackers.
'Third squad, go up and check it out. Also, let's see if the telephone line at the base can be connected! ’
Before they arrived at the stronghold of Wangzhuang, the troops brought with them suffered nearly 100 casualties. Such a battle, in the eyes of Miyamoto Konan, is undoubtedly a shameful battle. What made him most angry was that the attacker hit and ran, and it was not at all entangled with him.
Seeing that the third squad began to enter the Wujiazhuang stronghold, the Japanese captain who stayed by Miyata Konan's side said in a timely manner: "Shaozuo, judging from the attack just now, the troops who attacked our stronghold and train this time may be the troops of the Tubalu. ”
'Eight roads? Haven't their large forces been driven away by us? ’
There is an armed Eighth Route Army in Taigu, and the Japanese troops stationed in Taigu City are naturally aware of it. According to the information they knew, it seems that the large units of the Eighth Route Army, which had been operating in Taigu earlier, had been transferred to other places.
At present, most of the armed forces of the Eighth Route Army operating in Taigu are guerrilla units in places where they are not well equipped and have weak combat effectiveness. How could such a force do such a thing.
'Shao Zuo, could it be that Tubalu has sent another main force over? While we weren't looking, they carried out this series of sneak attacks. And they sneaked up on the stronghold and robbed the military columns, just to divert the attention of the main forces on the front.
First we blew up our arsenal in Dongguan, and now we are robbing our military columns, just to prevent us from sending weapons and ammunition to the front line in time. As soon as the front-line combat units run out of weapons and ammunition, our mopping operations can only end. ’
After some speculation, the captain came to such a conclusion. And this conclusion was quickly agreed by Miyata Yukinami. If this is the case, perhaps it is really possible that the elite troops of the Eighth Route Army are planning this series of sneak attacks.
'Yo! Your speculation is also valid! Judging from the firepower of the troops who attacked us before, they all used our standard equipment. Damn, that's where all these dirt roads came from. Why didn't you hear anything earlier? ’
Just when the two were analyzing the origin of the sneak attackers, the Japanese squad that entered the Wujiazhuang stronghold to check the situation seemed a little puzzled. Because after entering the stronghold, they did not find a single body of the defenders.
'Second Lieutenant, why does this stronghold look empty?' As if there was no one? ’
Just when a military cao felt that the situation in this stronghold was a little wrong. looked at the little devil who walked into the stronghold, the two soldiers of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the shadows, but the expression on his face was a little dissatisfied.
'These little devils are quite shrewd! Just send this person up to check, and it would be nice if you could come up more! ’
'That's it! Hurry up and light the fire, and if you don't light the fire, the little devil will touch it! ’
When he was evacuating after cleaning up the battlefield, the commander of the fourth company, who was responsible for attacking the stronghold of Wujiazhuang, also thought of leaving a surprise for the little devil. Bury some of the captured explosives in the stronghold, and wait for the little devils to come and ignite them and detonate them.
After all, if you detonate in this case, you can kill some little devils!
