Chapter 398: Night Attack on the Railway Station
readx; The old man sighed and said, "Then boss, you can watch it casually." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" After saying that, he continued to work on the iron with all his heart, and the sound of clanging bells sounded in the room again.
Cui Si's eyes wandered around, and as far as his eyes could see, he was suddenly attracted by a big knife on the wall. The knife was shaped like a willow leaf, with a thick back and a thin blade, and the handle was plated with gold water, so that the light shone brightly, and it looked like it was made of fine steel.
Cui Si immediately liked it, turned around and asked the old man: "Master, did you hit this knife too?" ”
The elder looked up and smiled, and said, "I beat it, but as soon as I came, the employer who originally wanted me to fight the knife was scared away, and the knife was beaten, and no one came to pick it up, what, little brother, do you like this knife?" ”
Cui Si nodded and said, "Do you still have this kind of good steel here?" ”
The master didn't have time to think: "Yes! ”
"That's great, how long will it take you to hit a knife like this?" Cui Si was suddenly interested.
The old master thought for a moment: "If it's fast, it will take a few hours!" ”
Cui Si pointed to the wall: "Master, can you sell me this knife on the wall?" ”
The old master saw Cui Si's meaning at a glance and said, "If you want this knife, I won't charge you money, I'll give it to you for free." You can take it. ”
Cui Si hurriedly shook his head: "That's not good, this thing wasn't planted by you in your own field, you have the capital!" ”
The old master smiled: "The little devil is here, smashing and looting on our land, we have a brute force, and we can't go to the front line to fight devils, thanks to you soldiers who fight with the little devils all day, although I am iron-striking, but we also understand the truth that the country has difficulties and responsibilities, I can give the knife I hit with my own hands to you righteous people who serve the country, and I can be regarded as a little contribution to our country!" ”
Cui Si thought for a while: "Otherwise, I really don't have any money on me, you let me take this knife back first, show us the battalion commander, don't you have some good steel, if our battalion commander likes this knife, I will let you fight more, to be honest, the two days have been too hard, the gunpowder is almost exhausted, in the end, if you want to hold this city, it is estimated that it is inevitable to fight with the devil, but we now have more recruits, and there is still a lack of big knives!" ”
The old master said boldly: "No problem, you can take it." ”
That night, Cui Si brought the knife to the camp, saw the lock pillar, praised it again and again, and couldn't put it down with the knife, and sent a herald to call the secretary Sun Baoxing on the spot.
Sun Bao looked stunned: "Battalion commander, are you looking for me?" ”
The lock pillar snorted: "How much money do we have in our camp account?" ”
"It's not much, what's the matter, battalion commander?" Sun Baoxing was stunned for a moment.
The lock post nodded: "How much is it?" If you don't have much, you will take it all, ask Cui Si to take it, and send all the money to the blacksmith shop to fight knives. ”
Sun Baoxing was taken aback: "What's wrong, battalion commander, but what's wrong?" This is the last food money for the brothers, they all bought knives, and they didn't eat or drink? ”
Suozhu couldn't help but scold: "Why do you talk so much? Saying that, he gestured with the big knife in his hand: "The Sichuan army started with a big knife, but now we are short of big knives, without this thing to support, I don't know if my head can be protected, and the guys who eat are gone, what's the use of you keeping that money?" ”
In this way, Cui Si went to the blacksmith shop with the money that night, and according to the instructions of the lock post, he said to the blacksmith: "Within three days, thirty big knives will be struck." ”
The blacksmith said, "In three days, I have beaten so many knives, I guess I won't have to sleep, but I won't take this money." ”
And tonight, Cui Si and a few people came to get the knife on the order of the lock pillar
More than 40 soldiers including Cui Si were gathered in the courtyard. All of them were fully armed, long and short, and each of them had a bright knife stuck in his back, which the father and son of the blacksmith shop had boiled several nights in a row and made of the finest steel.
That night was the beginning of the month, and it was windy and moonless, and it was surprisingly dark.
The pillar stood at the front of the line facing the light. Suozhu said loudly: "Brothers, Shizuo was supposed to explain a few words to you in person, but Shizuo was busy with military affairs, so I will speak instead. Tomorrow is the last day for us to defend our position, but the little devil captured the opposite train station a day in advance, which is undoubtedly worse for us to complete the task, so Shangfeng means to raid the devil's camp tonight. The main task of our sneak attack on the railway station this time is to blow up the devil's tank, that thing is too powerful, especially during the day, it is more powerful, and all our soldiers have been fighting for several days in a row, physically and mentally exhausted, plus the ammunition is getting less and less, so if the army has a foothold at Zhaoguan Station and does not blow up these things as soon as possible, once the little devil launches a general attack tomorrow, it will definitely be more auspicious for us. ”
The lock post divided dozens of people into four groups, Cui Si led the first group, the 2nd platoon leader led the second group, the 3rd squad leader Guan Shaochun led the third group, and the lock post himself led the fourth group. Then it was clarified that each team was responsible for the sneak attack mission after arriving at the destination. After that, the team set off at night.
Due to the proximity to the enemy's position, dozens of people quietly catted out of the position.
A few minutes later, the lock pillar disappeared into the night with the team.
After a few minutes of marching along the sandy dirt road to the northeast, the team turned around, got off the road, and got into the boundless "green gauze tent" that covered the sky even in broad daylight.
All the people walked through the corn fields without saying a word.
In the second half of the night, fog rose again. The fog is getting thicker and thicker, covering the sky, and the "green gauze tent" is even darker.
The soldiers walked through it, and the thin military uniforms had already been soaked with dew, so that the night breeze blew, and the cold hit people, and it really had the taste of harsh winter.
A brother named Deqing was walking, and his feet were suddenly tripped by a thick corn tree, and he almost didn't fall, but fortunately Cui Si was next to him in time to hold on.
Cui Si asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”
Deqing grinned: "It's okay." ”
Cui Si looked around: "It's okay, just keep up, don't fall behind." ”
As he was talking, a small path suddenly flashed in front of him, and the path twisted in the cornfield, shook his head, and disappeared dozens of paces away.
This trail, if not locals, is rarely spotted, even during the day.
The lock post and the team stood on the path for a while, discerning the direction. Then with a wave of his hand, all the people followed him along the sheep intestine path, hurried northeast.
Ten minutes later, as I walked, the path suddenly disappeared, and a large river stretched out in front of me. All stopped.
Although the flood season has passed, it has rained so much in a row, and the river has swelled suddenly, and although the river is not turbulent, the river is very wide.
It was late at night, and the night was thick. At this time, except for the clatter of corn trees blown by the wind and the occasional chirping of autumn insects, the whole world was silent.
Both the gun and the grenade were wrapped in a plastic sheet that was waterproof beforehand. So don't worry about water ingress.
Cui Si was the first to jump into the river. Cui Si's water surname is very good, he grew up by the Dadu River and practiced excellent water kung fu.
All of them are required to use the breaststroke position, which is not easy to make waves and does not make much noise. Swimming, Cui Si, who was at the front, suddenly turned around and whispered to Deqing: "Pass backwards, the train station has arrived, everyone pay attention." ”
Sure enough, not far away, a swarthy courtyard wall was built around the river, and a few lights flashed on the wall, which was the searchlight of the army, and the dazzling pillar of light swept over the river, illuminating the cold and bright water of the river. Inside the courtyard wall, from time to time tracer bullets were swishing into the sky, the dazzling snow light illuminated the whole night sky as bright as day, the pillbox behind a few shooting holes protruded, the long black hole of the machine gun head stretched out, the night look, eerie and terrifying.
The team swam and stopped, and every time the searchlight swept by, there would be a brief pitch black in front of everyone's eyes, and it was at this moment that everyone forged ahead together, swam violently for a while, and when the searchlight came back, everyone immediately dived into the water again, standing still. After a long period of hide-and-seek, the team finally skillfully bypassed the enemy's light search and cautiously reached the base of the wall.
The wall was made of bricks, because it had been soaked in the river for many years, and a layer of moss grew on it, and it was slippery to the touch.
Cui Si pulled out the prepared iron chisel and screwdriver from his satchel, as well as a short-handled shovel for digging trenches, and a few iron rods.
This wall is more than a zhang high, because there are searchlights on the wall flickering, and the base of the wall is becoming darker and darker, so Cui Si can only rely on his hands to find a brick joint on the wall that can be used.
Finally touched it, Cui Si secretly worked hard and slammed the screwdriver into the crack of the brick. But because the brick joints were soaked in the river for a long time, they were sticky and very smooth, and if the strength was not enough, they would slide over.
However, Cui Si and the others didn't dare to make too much noise, because there were soldiers walking back and forth with bright bayonets above their heads, and the iron nails on the tall leather boots of the soldiers stepped on the bluestone slabs, clicking, clearly audible, searchlights swaying left and right in the night like ghost fires, and what made people's hearts palpitate even more was the black machine gun sticking out of the duck's beak-like shooting hole.
Fortunately, there was a wind that night, and the wind blew the corn stalks on both sides of the river rattling, and Cui Si and their actions were extremely careful, and the sound of brick slag being prying off was mixed in, and it was difficult to identify if you didn't listen carefully. The screwdrivers had been sharpened on the sand before departure.
Cui Si pointed the screwdriver in his hand at the brick joint again, three of the four gaps in the brick had been hollowed out, and the screwdriver pierced into the fourth seam. Cui Si secretly said goodbye, and the white lime in the brick crack fell off little by little, and he was digging, when he heard a crisp sound, the screwdriver was broken, and this was already the third screwdriver that had been broken.
Cui Si took out a brand-new screwdriver from his satchel, and at this time, his forehead was full of sweat, and he didn't care about wiping it, and all his thoughts were on the brick.
