When the third detachment fired the first shot of the attack on Lincheng, the Japanese garrison officer guarding Lincheng learned the news of the attack on the railway construction site and quickly dispatched a force of 500 people to the railway construction site to carry out rescue.

For the Japanese troops stationed in Zaozhuang today, in addition to sweeping the Eighth Route Army in the territory, they also have garrison officers in the defense area through which the railway passes, and they all have a very important task, which is to ensure the safety of the railway and build the railway as soon as possible.

It was clear that if something happened to the railway construction site, the garrison officer of the city, who was as responsible as the garrison officer, could only send a large force out of the city to reinforce him. And the way of reinforcements out of the city seems to be very smooth.

Even the commander of the Japanese army who led the team felt that it was a little abnormal. It stands to reason that the Eighth Route Army should send a small force to attack and block the attack and delay time. But this time, they had a smooth journey to the railway site.

Looking at the construction site, where only one corpse was left and the site had been emptied, the Japanese commander who led the team looked at the repaired railway and found that it had not been damaged, and he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the railroad is fine, there is no problem in running away from laborers.

After all, many little devil officers know that there are not many others in Huaxia, and there are the most people. As long as a telegram is sent to the nearby Japanese army, it is believed that it will not be long before a new batch of laborers will be sent to the construction site.

The railway, which had been repaired for a few days, would be in vain if it was damaged again. Even the Japanese commander, who came to support with his troops, felt very fortunate tonight.

It's just that for many little devil soldiers who rushed to support, looking at the hundreds of clothes stripped of corpses on the construction site, these little devils were a little unhappy. During this time, it seemed that every time I saw them, their people died.

Faced with the mess left behind, an officer also said in a timely manner: "Shaozuo, what should I do next?" Shall we stay here and wait for the arrival of the follow-up garrison? Or do you want to go back to the city first and come back after dawn? ”

'Baga, what if we leave, what if Tubalu comes to blow up the railway again? Gather the remains of the warriors, and we will be stationed here tonight, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up troops. This construction site cannot be easily abandoned.

Send out patrols and be sure to guard our railroads. The garrison officer had already said that the Central China Front was very dissatisfied with the interruption of the railway. Our Supreme Commander, all reprimanded by the Imperial War Department.

In addition to clearing the Tuba Road in the defense area as soon as possible, the most important thing we need at present is to ensure that the railway is safely reopened to traffic as soon as possible. The Central China Front is next in the south, and it will prepare for a new campaign! ’

Compared with these ordinary officers, the adjutants of the Japanese army undoubtedly knew more information. Now the Central China Front in the south is indeed planning to fight a new decisive battle with the main force of the Zhongyan Army and continue to advance the front of the Japanese attack.

In this case, it would undoubtedly be very expensive to rely on the transportation of materials from the southern ports. The most important thing is that many of the strategic materials of the Japanese army are now transferred from the northeast. It is also very troublesome to transport.

If this railway can be restored as soon as possible, a large number of weapons and ammunition produced from factories in the northeast will also be able to reach the combat units in the south as soon as possible. Now that the supply line is interrupted, it is no wonder that the top brass of the Central China Front is dissatisfied.

After all, the Japanese troops stationed in Shandong were actually under the jurisdiction of the North China Front. Now that there is an accident on the ground in Shandong, the top echelons of the Central China Front will naturally directly trouble the commander of the North China Front.

The little devils who reinforced the work began to repair the much-blown construction site, and the patrols and guard posts were redeployed on the railway line. The main force of the first detachment also began to enter the blocking position, waiting for the little devil reinforcements to return.

At the same time, Zhao Tiehu and others, who led the detachment directly under them to lurk into the city, were also very happy when they learned that the little devils had dispatched more than 500 little devils from the city to help the railway construction site. As a result, the number of little devils in the city has dropped sharply.

According to the battle plan determined by Zhao Tiehu earlier, Li Chengwu, who led the main force of the second detachment, looked at the artillery that had torn off his camouflage clothes, and said calmly: "Wait a minute, let's play the real one this time, not like the previous two times!" ”

Lincheng had already been shelled twice earlier, so much so that this time, Zhao Tiehu asked the second detachment to continue the shelling. And Zhao Tiehu led the detachment directly under him and the elite troops who infiltrated the city in advance, and began to blend into the team of the little devils.

In this way, just waiting for the right time, Zhao Tiehu can give a fatal blow to the little devil in Lincheng. I believe that at that time, the little devil will also feel very broken in his heart. After all, the first two times were fake, and this time the Eighth Route Army actually played the real thing!

What was even more unexpected for the little devil was that Li Chengwu, who had already established multiple artillery positions outside the city, did not activate all the artillery positions at the same time. The first to shell were still a small number of four mortars.

Looking at the fighters in charge of the four mortars, Li Chengwu also smiled and said, "Okay, you can carry the cannons and find a place to shell." Remember what I just said, if you shoot three shots, you will change places, don't shoot far, understand? ”

'Yes, Captain, we know! ’

Even the detachments of the task force have been upgraded to battalion-level combat units. But in the detachment, many soldiers still like to call Li Chengwu and these detachment leaders captains. And in fact, the company commander is also the captain.

Such a title sounds a bit confusing, but it can also confuse the little devil's intelligence officers, so that they can't figure out how many troops the Eighth Route Army has. The supreme commander of each unit is the 'captain' in the end.

Anyway, judging from the clothes, the military uniform worn by Li Chengwu is no different from other soldiers. If there is really any difference, it is that Li Chengwu is qualified to carry a pistol at his waist, while most of the other fighters carry rifles.

At least as far as Zhao Tiehu is concerned, he feels that this kind of dress is more conducive to protecting the commanders who go to the battlefield. In the reconnaissance units of the special operations detachments and the detachments, the targets that the snipers specialize in sniping are not the officers of the little devils!

Everything was ready, four mortars were deployed in place one after another, and with the commander's order, the four mortar shells were fired in batches, and the shells fired by each of them hit the four walls defended by the little devils in the city.

The little devil who had been awakened by the attack on the railway suddenly heard the sound of artillery bombardment from the city, and the garrison officer immediately rushed out of the headquarters and said in a slightly anxious manner: "Baga, where will the artillery be fired again?" What's going on? Is the dirt road coming again? ”

'Nakasa, it seems that it should be the harassing troops of the Dirt Eighth Road, and there are shelling sounds from all sides, it should be the mortars of the Dirt Eighth Road. Do you want to send troops out of the city to chase after you? ’

'Can you be sure that there is no danger outside the city?' Baga, order the garrison in the city to immediately prepare for battle. Strictly defend the fortifications of the city, and see what the situation is outside the city first! ’

Even the garrison officer doubted whether this would be another attack tactic of the Eighth Route Army. But he was also worried that sending his troops out of the city to pursue was likely to be ambushed by the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, he seems to be in a very tangled mood!

At this moment, the four mortars, after firing three shells each, quickly shifted their positions. So much so that the infantry artillery of the little devil in the city had just been erected, but they found that the shelling outside the city had suddenly stopped.

'Na! Is this stopped? ’

'Yes, Nakasa! All four walls were shelled by only three shells! ’

'Baga, what kind of conspiracy is Tubalu playing! ’

Just as the garrison officer was speculating, one of the accompanying combat staff officers suddenly said, "Nakasa, do you think it will have something to do with the reinforcements we sent earlier?" It's not far from the construction site, and if they hear the shelling, will they return? ”

'You mean, the Tubalu artillery bombardment is to buy time for their sneak attack troops to evacuate?' ’

'Yes, it should be! ’

The words of the combat staff officer made the garrison officer think for a while and said, "Why don't you send a few squads out of the city to check the situation?" ”

Just as the little devil began to draw four infantry squads out of the city to check the situation, the four city walls were shelled again. And the location of this shelling seems to be different from the previous one.

Shockingly, after the three shells were fired, the sound of artillery outside the city stopped. Even the little devil artilleryman, who was calculating the location of the artillery positions outside the city, also felt very frustrated. How do they fight back when they fight back in a different place?

But what these little devil artillerymen didn't know was that when they entered the position and were about to counterattack, Zhao Tiehu led the subordinate detachment and had already touched their location. When the time comes, they will seize the artillery positions of the little devils.

After three consecutive shells each, the four gates that had been closed were opened almost at the same time. The little devils who went out of the city with flashlights also began to go straight to the place where the shelling was shelled.

The Japanese garrison officer, who was standing at the head of the city to check the situation, soon saw the squad leaving the city and was shot at by the Eighth Route Army. Judging by the sound of gunfire, it seems that there are not many Eighth Route Army lurking outside the city, and most of them are machine guns.

Seeing this situation, the Japanese garrison officer said decisively: "Pass the order, continue to send additional troops outside the city, Baga!" There should only be a small army outside the city, and they are trying to lure our reinforcements back to the city. Kill them! ”

The Japanese garrison, who felt that he had seen through the conspiracy of the Eighth Route Army, immediately dispatched troops from the city to reinforce the Japanese squad outside the city. As these reinforcements went out, the small units of the Eighth Route Army, which were harassing outside the city, seemed to be constantly beginning to retreat.

Just when the Japanese garrison officer felt that everything was under control, Li Chengwu said: "Start shelling and counterattack in an all-round way!" Release the little devils out of the city, and kill them all for me! ”

The successive seduction tactics were successful, and the number of troops sent out by the little devils outside the city increased by four or five hundred. In this way, half of the Japanese puppet army of nearly 2,000 people originally stationed in Lincheng was transferred outside the city by the Eighth Route Army.

The remaining Japanese puppet army in the city faced the direct detachment and combat troops that had been infiltrated into the city for a long time. I am afraid that I can't resist the surprise attack of the Eighth Route Army, once the city gate is opened, I also realize that the end of the little devils in the city is coming!
