At five o'clock in the morning, Ye Tufei led the bandit battalion special operations team and nearly 400 brothers from the first and second companies to the periphery of Jiajiawang.

It was the darkest time before dawn, and it was also the time when the guards were at their most tired and lax, so it didn't take much effort for the brethren of the Special Operations Brigade to sneak into the town.

The brothers of the First and Second Companies were ordered to lurk outside Jiajiawang.

"Kill all the little Japanese sentries with knives!" Ye Tufei gave instructions to the brothers of the special operations team who had infiltrated the town.

At this time, the Japanese troops stationed in Jiajiawang were only a small team, and the Imperial Allied Army was only a squadron, although they strengthened the sentry posts and arranged several secret outposts at key locations, but most of these sentry posts were served by soldiers of the Imperial Allied Army, and for the special operations brigade, it was almost useless.

When the eastern sky was white, the cuckoo cry came from all around Jia Jiawang, which was a secret signal from the brothers of the special operations brigade, indicating that he had succeeded.

The sentry has been resolved, and all that remains are the soldiers in the barracks.

The remaining brethren of the special operations brigade were already ready, and as soon as the cuckoo's cry landed, dozens of brothers of the special operations brigade entered the barracks.

Half an hour later, the barracks sounded the wake-up call.

A squadron of the Imperial Allied Army and a squad of Little Japan went out to exercise normally, but the people wrapped in military uniforms were all brothers from the special operations brigade.

"Have breakfast normally, and after breakfast, pick twenty brothers to go to the railroad with the two of us."

In this operation, Ye Tufei deliberately brought Wei Xiangdong with him, because the two of them can speak Japanese in the entire Erlang Mountain, and in terms of spoken language, Wei Xiangdong's Japanese dialect is even purer than Ye Tufei's.

After breakfast, Ye Tufeiwei Xiangdong and the two came to the railway bureau with twenty soldiers.

By the early hours of the morning, the five brothers of the Special Operations Brigade had already disposed of the guards and taken control of the duty of the Railway Bureau. The people who came to work one after another were also controlled, but the number of people increased, and the five brothers were quite struggling.

Fortunately, Ye Tufei and others arrived in time.

As soon as the people of the railway bureau went to work, they were controlled by several imperial allied troops, and they did not know what had happened, and they were in a state of panic, and they saw two Japanese second lieutenants coming with twenty soldiers, and this panic was even more serious.

Ye Tufei waved his hand and said it in Japanese.

Wei Xiangdong translated in a Chinese dialect unique to Japan: "Last night, a number of anti-Japanese elements infiltrated Jiajiawang, according to reliable intelligence, the target of this gang of bandits is the Jiajiawang Railway Bureau, therefore, we need to conduct a thorough investigation of the Railway Bureau, and I hope you can give full cooperation." ”

The person in charge of the Railway Bureau was much calmer at this time, he stood up and said to Ye Tufei: "Taijun, my name is Cao Xinwei, I am the director of the Railway Bureau, please rest assured Taijun, our Railway Bureau will definitely cooperate with Taijun and thoroughly investigate those bandits." ”

Wei Xiangdong pretended to translate to Ye Tufei, Ye Tufei nodded with satisfaction, and said a few more words.

Wei Xiangdong translated: "We suspect that this gang of bandits intends to attack the train from Jiajiawang to Xuzhou, Director Cao, I hope you will immediately call up today's train scheduling plan to facilitate our investigation." ”

Cao Xinwei responded in a panic, took out a stack of materials from the desk drawer, picked out one, and handed it to Ye Tufei.

Wei Xiangdong took the information first, glanced at it, and then handed it to Ye Tufei.

The schedule clearly states that fourteen trains were sent to Xuzhou that day, including freight trains and passenger trains.

However, it does not indicate that the destination of that trip is the marshalling station.

Ye Tufei beckoned to Cao Xinwei and called Cao Xinwei aside. Ye Tufei still spoke Japanese, and Wei Xiangdong was translating on the side.

"Director Cao, what I am going to talk about next will be the highest level of secrecy of the Imperial Japanese Army, so please swear that you must keep it a secret."

Cao Xinwei was flattered, and naturally he was full of vows.

"The information we have received shows that the target of this gang of bandits is the Maocun marshalling station. Director Cao, the Maocun marshalling station now concentrates a large number of military supplies of the imperial army, and the stakes are very high. And this gang of bandits and the night hostage of the railway bureau on duty, we suspect that they have obtained accurate information, and at this time lurking on the train bound for the marshalling station. ”

Cao Xinwei was already frightened at this time, and hurriedly pointed to the dispatch table with a trembling hand, and said: "Tai, Taijun, there is only one train sent to the marshalling station today, yes, this is the one, it will be sent out at 10:20 in the morning." ”

Ye Tufei and Wei Xiangdong's eyes met, revealing a smile that only the two of them could feel.

Ye Tufei spoke to Wei Xiangdong in Japanese.

Wei Xiangdong immediately issued an order to the brothers: "In addition to the normal duty of all the posts, the other soldiers of the Imperial Army and the Imperial Allied Army immediately assemble at the Railway Bureau to ensure the safety of this train." ”

Twenty minutes later, the entire Jiajiawang Railway Bureau and the train marshalling station were all under martial law. Under the guidance of Cao Xinwei, Ye Tufei also found the coal train.

"Xiaowei, according to the original plan, I will take fifty brothers up, you take the other brothers to stay, and after we set off for half an hour, you send a signal to the brothers outside the town, they will feint to attack Jiajiawang, as soon as the guns go out, you immediately report to Xuzhou and ask for reinforcements."

Wei Xiangdong nodded.

The purpose of this arrangement was to confuse little Japan.

This train will report to the Maocun marshalling station when it departs, and the battle will start half an hour after the train is departed, which will give little Japan a false impression that the enemy is thinking of attacking the Maocun marshalling station through the Jiajiawang line, but it is half an hour late.

With this half-hour time difference, the train was just able to reach the Maocun marshalling station.

At this time, Wei Xiangdong would ask the Japanese army in Xuzhou for reinforcements, but, in view of the enemy's strength far exceeding his own, the Jiajiawang railway station was lost, and the enemy grabbed a train and was rushing to the Maocun marshalling station at full speed.

Then, the defending Japanese troops at the Maocun marshalling station must not care about thoroughly inspecting Ye Tufei's train, and the Japanese army needs time to deal with the train that is coming at a rapid pace.

At 10:20, the prepared coal train started and slowly drove out of Jiajiawang's marshalling station.

Half an hour later, Wei sent a signal to the brethren outside the town.

The brothers of the 1st and 2nd companies of the bandit battalion received the signal and immediately launched a fierce attack on Jiajiawang.

In the dense gunfire, Wei Xiangdong called Xuzhou.

After another five minutes, Wei Xiangdong called Xuzhou again.

The Jiajiawang railway station was lost, and a group of bandits hijacked a freight train and was attacking at full speed in the direction of Xuzhou.

The Japanese troops on the Xuzhou side became nervous and immediately reported the situation to the division headquarters in accordance with the emergency plan, and at the same time reported the Japanese commander of the Maocun marshalling station in parallel.

At this time, the coal train controlled by Ye Tufei and others just stopped slowly in front of the inspection post outside the Maocun marshalling station.

The Japanese troops at the inspection post were about to get on the train to search, when a telephone call from the Japanese commander at the Maocun marshalling station came, instructing the duty detachment at the inspection post to immediately open the railway fork and make full preparations for battle.

The head of the Japanese army on duty at the inspection post reported that a coal train coming from Jiajiawang had just stopped at the inspection post and was waiting for inspection, asking for instructions on what to do.

The commander of the Japanese army at the marshalling station knew that this train was planned to bring coal, and the train carrying fuel oil to Wuhan the day after tomorrow was waiting for this batch of coal.

The most dangerous thing right now is the train that has been held hostage by the bandits, and if you don't let this train go, it will inevitably collide with the one behind.

If two trains collide, the situation is bound to be chaotic, and if the bandits take advantage of the chaos to attack the marshalling yard, there is a possibility that they will miss.

After weighing the pros and cons, the Japanese commander gave the order to let him go.

As a result, the train controlled by Ye Tufei and others passed through the checkpoint smoothly, started slowly, and headed for the Maocun marshalling station two miles ahead

At this moment, in the Maocun marshalling station, the Japanese army is making the final marshalling of the tank trucks transporting fuel.

This batch of fuel landed in Qingdao, and the capacity of the train from Qingdao to Jinpu line was extremely weak, so in order to rush for time, the Japanese army mobilized a batch of fuel tankers to transport this batch of fuel by road.

Therefore, this batch of fuel needs to be reloaded after being transported to the Maocun marshalling station, and the fuel will be reloaded from the tank truck to the tank train.

This task was completed yesterday, and today we only need to do a good job of marshalling the trains, and as soon as the coal required for the trains is in place, then the trains carrying fuel can be sent out gradually early tomorrow morning, and it will only take one day to arrive in Wuhan.

Seeing that this extremely important work was about to be successfully completed, the Japanese army was in a state of joy, but the Japanese commander was very annoyed when this situation suddenly happened.

But annoyance to annoyance, the Japanese commander of the marshalling station still kept his senses.

He methodically gave orders:

The checkpoint in the direction of Jiajiawang immediately entered a combat state and pulled the railway fork open, leading the train held hostage by the bandits to him.

The other departments immediately assembled in the direction of the checkpoint, and the train would be forced to stop or derail and overturn after being led to the fork, so they concentrated all their firepower and carried out an exterminating blow to the bandits on the train.

The Japanese troops who remained at the marshalling station immediately assembled and built a circular defensive formation on the periphery with the tanker truck as the core to prevent the bandits from taking advantage of the chaos to attack the tanker.

It can be said that this series of orders of the Japanese commander is still accurate.

It's just that the enemy against whom his order is directed does not exist at all, and the enemy who exists has already entered the Maocun marshalling station at this moment.

The reason why it is said that the enemy targeted by the Japanese commander does not exist is not that the hijacked train is fake news.

The train was real, and it was speeding towards the Maocun marshalling yard at full speed at the moment, but the train was already empty, and the brothers had already jumped out of the train.
