Chapter 3 The Train Is Coming
With the experience of being robbed many times, Lieutenant General Fujita definitely couldn't put the train escort time into the night anymore.
Early in the morning, the team transporting goods departed from Yingshan City and arrived at Wushengguan Railway Station before noon. Since the team had to change to a train halfway through, it was definitely inconvenient to carry heavy weapons such as heavy artillery in the escort brigade. Fortunately, the 3rd Division was now equipped with all kinds of troops, and Lieutenant General Fujita directly sent a cavalry squadron and a tank squadron to escort them.
Of course, it is impossible for these two squadrons to ride horses and drive tanks and chase the train all the way to Xinyang, so the cost is too great. The task of these two mobile units is to escort the escort group and the goods they are going to deliver onto the train and then return to the station. According to Lieutenant General Fujita's idea, the personnel and goods will be safe when they get on the train, and the train can go all the way into Xinyang City, and even if there is an accident along the way, with that brigade there, it will definitely be able to ensure that nothing happens.
Lieutenant General Fujita's ideas are good, but the truth often backfires.
After the raiding team of the 500 division descended the Dabie Mountain, they sneaked all the way to the Jinghan Railway between Liulin Town and Wusheng Pass. With such a long railway, it can't be such a bend and keep moving forward, right? The soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion had already found a good place, and in the middle of the place, called Panshigang, after the railway had reached here, it made a small bend, and at this bend, the incoming and outgoing trains had to slow down. In addition, the railway tracks here are quite desolate, and there is a vacuum area where there are no villages, which is the best place for pickpocketing and carjacking.
Gao Quan personally selected fifty skilled people from the reconnaissance battalion, guard company, and cavalry battalion, and prepared to pick up the train with him! Such a meaningful thing, how could Gao Quan, who is naturally happy and does not like to be quiet, miss it?
The cavalry battalion also came this time. These hundreds of mobile forces are the best people to patrol back and forth along the railway line and pick up goods, and Gao Quan will certainly not forget it. The cavalrymen were overjoyed, and today they finally had a place to use them, and they no longer had to make others suspect that they were just eating and not working.
The role of the Independent Brigade in this operation is that of a transport team, of course, if there is any unexpected incident, they are naturally the main force of their own side.
The sun was rising higher and higher, and it was almost noon. Gao Quan sat under a tree and took a leisurely nap. Red Peony and Golden Tiger stood beside them, looking around vigilantly. Dozens of meters away on the railway, they had been lurking here for more than two hours, only a train of wagons, still a train of coal in between.
There was a sound of footsteps, Zhang Erxiao walked over with a guard, and in the distance, the guard stood still, and Brigade Commander Zhang walked alone to a place ten steps away from Gao Quan and stopped.
"Master, why hasn't the devil come yet? Will they not come today? Even a brigade commander like Zhang Erxiao couldn't hold his breath, which also showed that the soldiers below were impatient.
"In a hurry?" Gao Quan's half-closed and half-closed eyelids opened, looked at Zhang Erxiao, and showed a smile, "How much work is this?" It's still early. Go back and tell the warriors to be patient. Gao Quan actually didn't know the bottom in his heart. Who can guarantee that this lurking thing will succeed the first time? If the devil suddenly changes his mind and doesn't come out, or if he remembers that something fell on the middle of the road and turns back, then who has a way?
Of course Zhang Erxiao is not breathless, he is not a brigade commander who doesn't even have this bit of a city government, not to mention that Gao Quan is here, what is he anxious about? Chang Zhankui and Wu Laosan have been muttering in his ear, and the soldiers in the army are indeed a little emotionally unstable, so he came to Gao Quan, wanting a letter so that he can go back to appease his subordinates.
Since Shi Zuo said so, of course Brigade Commander Zhang had nothing to say, so he turned his head and went to appease the troops. The master has said that you should be patient.
After noon, Gao Quan and the others ate the dry food they brought with them with Qing Shui and continued to wait. The scouts sent information that the devil had closed the train from Wusheng at noon, and now the train was heading towards Panshigang. Looking at the time, it is estimated that the time for the train to come is almost up, Gao Quan stood up.
Fifty warriors ready to board the train were ready, each wearing light shoes, packing up and waiting for the train to come. Gao Quan stood at the front of the line and looked at his soldiers one by one again, "Everyone check their attire. After saying that, starting with himself, he carefully checked it from top to bottom, until after confirming that there were no flaws, Gao Quan led the soldiers to lurk behind the stones and trees that he had already found.
There was a faint sound of vibration on the tracks, followed by a long whistle in the distance, "Woo! "The train is finally here.
The pitch-black and shiny front of the car, the huge, red-painted wheels spun rapidly, and the white steam was thrown backwards, "Bang! Boom! Boom! Boom! ......" A dusty steam train came from afar. Behind the front of the car is a black carriage with closed doors one by one, and it seems that inside the carriage is the ghost soldier in charge of escorting this time. It's just that the treatment of these escorted devils doesn't seem to be very good, and they are actually locked up in stuffy tank cars.
After the front of the car passed, Gao Quan and his soldiers stood on the edge of the railway. The wind brought up by the train made it almost unsteady to stand, and it took a lot of effort to restrain the illusion of wanting to run forward with the train. One carriage after another flashed in front of his eyes, and Gao Quan was waiting, waiting for the cargo carriages behind him.
One, two, three....... Knowing that there were more than a dozen trains on this train, the investigators reported that the goods brought by the devil this time were in the last four carriages. How do you know that just the eighth carriage is found, and the shape in front of you is a change, this is the cargo carriage! I can't care so much, let's go up first! Gao Quan opened his two legs, like a long-distance runner, and began to run with the train!
His eyes were firmly fixed on the handle that was getting closer and closer to him, Gao Quan grabbed it, and his body left the ground, and his feet were in the air!
When the train arrived at this big bend, the speed had actually slowed down, and when it was changed to a normal driving state, an amateur railway guerrilla like Gao Quan did not dare to pick up the train casually, it was a joke with his own life. In this way, after grabbing the handle of the carriage with one hand, the other hand quickly followed. Although he has the ability to hang one hand for two hours, the first time he does this kind of work, it is inevitable that he will be nervous, right? The two feet followed closely to the carriage, and there was a sharp pull on the edge of the carriage, just now I saw that there is a ridge here, and there is a place where you can put your feet, how can you not find it at this time?
Fortunately, Gao Quan's nerves were tough enough, and he grabbed it with both hands, but he didn't panic, and his feet slowly explored the surface of the carriage. Pregnant!
