Chapter 85 Operation to Rescue Laborers
If you really want to talk about Yixian and Lincheng, in the end, which county is more important to the little devil, then it is undoubtedly the latter Lincheng is more important. Compared with the strategic location of Yixian, Lincheng is an important supply station on the Xinpu Railway.
The departure of the train from Lincheng means entering the jurisdiction of another province, and the corresponding entry of other northbound trains into Lincheng also means entering the boundary of Shandong. Unfortunately, the Lincheng railway station is also paralyzed at the moment.
The railway line from Lincheng to Xuzhou was blasted by the second detachment as early as some time ago. For this reason, the little devils who are now stationed in Lincheng are also sending migrant workers and troops on the railway line to carry out emergency repair work on the railway.
Similar to this rush repair work, there is also the section of the railway from Zou Cheng to Teng County. It's just that the little devil is extremely puzzled that the Eighth Route Army seems to be a little indifferent to their rush to repair the railway.
Is that really the case? Naturally not!
In Zhao Tiehu's view, even if the little devil recruits laborers to repair the railway, how far can he repair it in one day? But for the Eighth Route Army, which is active on the railway line, as long as it takes one night, it will make that little devil's work in the middle of the night all in vain.
Since the little devils love to build railways so much, Zhao Tiehu is naturally willing to watch them busy. After all, finding something to do for the little devils will save them from harming the people every day. It's better to stay on the railway line than to go to the countryside every day to sweep up!
Urgent repairs were carried out on both lines at the same time, in an attempt to restore the interrupted Xinpu railway line as soon as possible. At the same time, the river defense unit of the little devil recently cleaned up the mines buried in the river in Weishan Lake and Xiazhou, and it is said that the cleanup effect is not bad.
It's a pity that every time the little devil cleans up the lake during the day, there will be mines the next day. As a result, the little devils were busy clearing mines during the day, and at night, the guerrillas who took small boats worked very hard and carefully to lay mines.
The Eighth Route Army consumed the mines produced by the arsenal one after another, and the little devils consumed manpower and material resources, and even ships and soldiers that were sunk from time to time. Around the canal supply line, the two sides also fought wits and courage in Weishan Lake.
Although the Japanese river defense troops, it was originally hoped that the Japanese garrison troops stationed in Zaozhuang could send troops to clear out the anti-Japanese troops of the Eighth Route Army hidden in Weishan. But the problem is that the current Zaozhuang garrison is simply powerless.
Even the situation around Zaozhuang has not yet stabilized, and the little devils stationed in Zaozhuang dare to easily divide their troops into the territory of Weishan? As a result, it is obvious that around Weishan Lake, the guerrillas and the Devil's River Defense Force are also relatively strong.
At least judging from the current situation, Zhao Tiehu believes that the little devil will not be able to enter Weishan Lake for a while and a half. If you want to open up this canal supply line, the little devil has to put some effort into it. In a short time, Weishan is still safe.
In Yi County, Zhao Tiehu used the main force of the first team and the third team. And at this moment, in order to attack Lincheng, Zhao Tiehu directly used the main force of the three combat detachments. Although he didn't carry much artillery fire, Zhao Tiehu felt that it should be enough.
In order to effectively disperse and contain the little devils stationed in Lincheng, and based on the information collected, Zhao Tiehu finally decided to send an elite small army to attack the railway construction site where many troops were stationed.
First, let the little devils who are eager to build the railway be anxious, and lure the little devils in the city to reinforce the railway construction site. The second is to rescue the young men who were forcibly recruited to the construction site by the little devils, and strive to attract a group of young people to join the anti-Japanese team.
As long as the little devils want to build the railway, they must deploy heavy troops on the railway line. Otherwise, if it is repaired today, it may be interrupted again tomorrow. This also means that when the railway construction site is attacked, the little devils in the city dare not save it.
Looking at the two detachment captains standing beside him, Zhao Tiehu thought for a while and said, "The first detachment, which I am responsible for commanding, is mainly responsible for attacking Lincheng. The task of the second detachment is to cooperate with us to solve the Japanese guards around the city.
The task of the third detachment is to mobilize a part of the main force to attack the road guards deployed by the little devils on the railway line and rescue the migrant workers who were imprisoned by the little devils. In order to ensure the smooth rescue operation, I will send a special operations team to cooperate with you later. ”
After listening to Zhao Tiehu's combat arrangement, Zhu Zixi didn't say much, and simply gave the task. But when it was Li Chengwu's turn, the squad leader said with a little disagreement: "Detachment leader, can you let me fight the main attack once?" ”
'What? Do you want to hit Lincheng? ’
'Yes! When they came, the soldiers wanted to enter the city! Now the combat mission you assigned to us is only to clean up the little devils near the city, which makes the soldiers a little disappointed! ’
Facing Li Chengwu's request, Zhao Tiehu thought for a while and said, "This time, Lao Song didn't come over, and the first detachment was not very familiar with the situation in Lincheng. Since you want to play the main attack, then I will satisfy you once and let you exchange tasks with a detachment.
But there is one thing that must be arranged by you personally, that is, to equip each combat company of a detachment with a few guides who are familiar with the situation around the city. Otherwise, once the battle starts, don't let the troops find the target of the attack, it will be a bad thing! ”
'Yes, thank you detachment leader, leave this matter to me, it will be fine!' ’
'Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, and notify the local troops separately, and be ready to transfer supplies and evacuate at any time. This time, it is estimated that in a few days, the sweep of the little devils will come from Teng County.
And I have a hunch that the little devils will not be able to find our main force in Yixian and Lincheng next, and they will inevitably enter the territory of Weishan to carry out a sweep. Compared to the first team and the third team, the situation of your team is more dangerous.
In order to attract the attention of the little devils, your detachment will definitely act as a lure and introduce the main force of the little devils to Weishan. When the time comes, I will take one team and three teams, and find the opportunity to bite the little devil again.
Therefore, this attack on Lincheng warns our commanders that they must pay attention to casualties. I don't want this little money I have saved so hard to be wiped out so quickly, understand? ’
'Yes, please rest assured that we will pass on this order!' ’
After deploying the combat order, Zhao Tiehu took the special operations detachment and the directly subordinate detachment to infiltrate the secret stronghold in Lincheng in advance, just like when he attacked Yixian. As for the main force of the second detachment, it also moved to the vicinity of Lincheng to hide and stand by.
The first to act was the third detachment, which rushed to the railway construction site not far from Lincheng in the evening. A small detachment drawn from the special operations detachment was assigned to the third detachment to clear the sentry and let the troops get as close to the barracks as possible to the little devils.
Looking at the railway line in the distance, the lights are still bright, and many migrant workers are fighting at night on the railway line. Around the construction site, there are soldiers of little devils patrolling back and forth. Even in order to prevent the migrant workers from escaping, the little devils pulled barbed wire on both sides of the railway.
Regarding the scene in front of him, Zhu Zixi said angrily: "These little devils really call our people as coolies. Let the special operations team, the patrol team that killed the little devils, replace it with our people, and cut a section of the wire net first.
The rest of the main force immediately surrounded the construction site barracks of the little devils, and after the attack began, the third and fourth companies were responsible for rescuing the workers on the railway line, killing those little devils on the railway, and ensuring the safety of the migrant workers. ”
'Yes! ’
'Let's get started! ’
The first to carry out operations is still the special operations detachment that must take the lead in every battle. For this unit, which was personally trained and commanded by Zhao Tiehu, the three detachment leaders of the task force were very envious.
It's a pity that they also asked Zhao Tiehu if they could train such a unit in the detachment. As a result, Zhao Tiehu told them very directly that such a unit could not be trained in large quantities at all, and with the current financial resources of the task force, I am afraid that it will not be able to support it for too long.
Coupled with the time required to train special forces, in this situation, how could the little devils give the Eighth Route Army too much leisure time? Therefore, it is better to train more skilled recruits in the hope of training a special operations detachment!
In this day and age, crowd tactics can sometimes be very effective. It is precisely because of the rarity of the special operations detachment that many veterans of the three combat detachments hope to have the opportunity to become directly subordinate detachments.
After all, the directly subordinate detachment is the reserve unit of the special operations detachment, and if you are selected into the direct detachment, you are eligible to become an alternate member of the special operations detachment. This kind of selection and assessment of the elite among the elites is also very attractive to many strong soldiers.
Although the little devil set up a searchlight at the construction site, it is impossible for the little devil to install a searchlight in every place on a long railway line. In some places, patrols of little devils must be carried out from time to time by patrolling back and forth with flashlights.
And the targets chosen by the special operations detachment are precisely these little devils who patrol with flashlights. With the production of more and more special warfare bows and crossbows, it is not a problem for special combat personnel to have one weapon now.
This kind of weapon to kill the enemy, every special combat team member is very skillful at the moment. After lurking in place, with the commander's order, more than a dozen special warfare bows and crossbows were fired in an instant, and the sharp crossbow arrows quickly pierced the lethal troops of the little devils.
At the same time, the veterans selected from the third detachment also rushed to the little devil who fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and each person with a dagger wiped his throat one by one and mended the knife, quickly picked up the flashlight and continued to move forward.
This process is very short, and even if a little devil sees it in the distance, it is estimated that the patrol team has paused there. It was absolutely unthinkable that in such a short period of time, their patrol team would be transferred.
After the camouflaged patrol left, the special operators took out the iron tongs they had prepared and cut all the nearby barbed wire. After vacating a retreat route, the special operators began to reach into the railway construction site, quietly approaching the little devils on duty.
At this moment, Zhu Zixi, who had come to the temporary camp at the construction site, saw that the mortar he was carrying had been erected, and he also gave the order for shelling in a timely manner. The first target was the generator that roared in the camp.
As soon as the generator is blown up, the originally brightly lit construction site will instantly turn into night. In this case, it is still extremely advantageous for the raiding Eighth Route Army!
