On the way to Dafeng Mountain, Han Xing discussed with Liu Zhiyuan: "Tell me, why did these troops send us to support the Battle of Xuzhou?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "It's not because our battalion has good weapons, there are mortar battalions and machine gun companies. ”

"How do you think this battle should be fought?"

Liu Zhiyuan thought for a while and said: "Don't talk about the southern front troops of the Japanese army, we can't reach it, there are two main enemies on the northern front of the Japanese army, one is from the south of Weixian (now Weifang) and goes straight to Linyi." We don't expect this unit to fight, we don't expect this battalion to be thrown into it, and it will be for nothing to throw it in, and there are regular troops of the Kuomintang to stand on it. The other group is southward along the Jinpu Railway, and they are now attacking Taierzhuang. This road is the closest to us, and it is also the most suitable for us to fight. I think it's on the Jinpu line to let them taste our shells! ”

"But how can we get the most out of our mortars, the railroad, you know?"

Liu Zhiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't understand, I really don't understand." ”

Han Xing said: "I heard that there is a railway guerrilla in this section, they are all railway experts, and after arriving at Dafeng Mountain, I tried my best to contact the railway guerrillas, hoping to get their support, and this battle will be easy to fight." ”

Liu Zhiyuan nodded.

After the directly subordinate battalion arrived at Dafeng Mountain, it immediately got in touch with the local independent battalion, and the independent battalion also attached great importance to it, and was personally received by Feng Lejin, director of the political office of the independent battalion. The two sides met and exchanged a few words of greetings, Liu Zhiyuan directly told him about the task he was coming and the matter of contacting the railway guerrillas. Feng Lejin readily agreed: "No problem, we are all fighting devils, this is called complementing each other's advantages, learning from each other's strengths." ”

Soon, Liu Hong of the railway guerrillas came with a group of pistol teams. Han Xing saw that Liu Hong was still a little different from Liu Hong in the movie, Liu Hong in the movie had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his eyebrows danced when he spoke, and he knew that he was performing at a glance, but the Liu Hong in front of him was a simple Shandong man, and he didn't talk much, if it wasn't for a box gun pinned to a belt on his waist, others would think he was a farmer!

After Feng Lejin briefly introduced the leaders of the two sides, he sat quietly on the side, just taking care of the water. Liu Zhiyuan said straight to the point: "Captain Liu, I heard that you are a railway pass, of course we have to ask for advice, please tell me how to completely paralyze the railway line on this railway." ”

Liu Hong thought for a while and said, "Not only are you thinking about this issue, but we are also thinking about this issue. Railways are mainly transportation, mainly divided into five major systems: vehicles, machinery, engineering, electricity, and vehicles. The car is a train service system, which is responsible for governing the station and organizing the transportation of passengers and goods by rail. The machine is the locomotive maintenance system, which is responsible for the operation of the locomotive and the whole machine equipment. The public works system is responsible for the patrol and daily construction of the railway line. Electricity is an electrical system, which is responsible for the inspection and maintenance of railway signals. It is a rolling stock system that is responsible for the maintenance and operation of railway vehicles. If you want to say that it is important, it is all important, and if you want to say that it is a quick strike, as long as the vehicle service system and the electrical service system are broken, it will not be able to operate for a while. ”

Liu Zhiyuan asked again: "Can you provide us with relevant information on the transportation of Japanese military trains?" ”

Liu Hong nodded and said, "I'll try to find a way." There is also such a situation, the Japanese military train strengthened protection, in the middle of the important train, installed an armored train, in fact, it is an ordinary car modification, however, it is equipped with mountain guns, machine guns, the outside is covered with sandbags, ordinary bullets can not penetrate at all. ”

Liu Zhiyuan nodded.

Han Xing asked: "Where are most of the locomotives from Jinan to Taierzhuang?" ”

Liu Hong said: "This section of locomotives from Jinan to Taierzhuang is mostly placed in the Jinan Locomotive Depot, and the locomotives after driving need to be maintained and repaired in the Jinan Locomotive Depot. ”

"You see if this will work," Han Xing said with a set of his own thoughts.

"I think it's okay," Liu Hong nodded, but also slightly added his own opinion.

"I'll just add a little bit...... Liu Zhiyuan also explained his opinions from the perspective of a soldier, so a complete set of battle plans was planned.

At noon on the third day, a Japanese military train departed from Jinan and then headed for Taierzhuang. The train left Jinan not far and entered the mountainous area of Tai'an. This section of the terrain is a lot of hills, there are many stones on the mountain, there are few soils, and it is overgrown with miscellaneous trees, and people can't hide it, but in the place where the mountain is out of sight, there are people who can't hide people, so it's hard to say. From time to time, there is a section of the small sand river, and when it encounters the sand river, it is natural to build a bridge and culvert, the train runs on it, and the water flows below, which is a very beautiful scenery.

This military train is also relatively well equipped, and the front is a roller truck, with an empty wagon, placed at the front, in case there are mines, so as to protect the personnel and equipment behind. Further back was the traction locomotive, behind which were carriages full of personnel and equipment, and in the middle of the train, there was an armored car made of earth.

The so-called home-made armored car is a modified truck car, surrounded on all sides by sandbags, which cannot be penetrated by bullets at all, and the inner layer of sandbags is machine guns and small cannons. Those who are close are swept with machine guns, and those who are far away are hit with small cannons, so they are not much different from ordinary armored vehicles. This is also due to the tight war and the lack of armored vehicles, so such an earthen armored train was invented, and I don't know if it was patented at that time.

This column is still relatively cautious, and the speed is only forty or fifty kilometers, in case of an emergency, it is good to brake, and then according to the situation, quickly enter the battle.

The train was about to leave the place where the Dasha River was about to go, and there was an accident, and I saw countless soldiers running out from the back of the mountain, some carrying mortar barrels, some carrying mortar bottom plates, and some carrying mortar shell boxes, and quickly entered the position.

The armored vehicles on the military column here had already seen it, and the Japanese officer, Captain Kohashi, drew his saber and shouted in Japanese: "The Eighth Route is coming, machine guns, fight-" So, the light and heavy machine guns on the armored vehicles opened fire together, and strings of tongues of fire spit out flames, and all kinds of bullets flew together in a chaotic manner, and the fight was very lively.

Although the range of the heavy machine gun can reach 4,000 meters, the effective range is 800-1,000 meters, and the position of the Eighth Route Army is just about 1,500 meters. In weaponry, it is said that an inch long is strong, and an inch short is dangerous, which is the truth, you can't hit others, and people will hit you right.

The mortar light began to test the artillery, and in the front and rear of the column, on the left and right, one cannon after another.

"Eight-way, cunning and cunning!" Kohashi knew that he had made a big mistake, so he shouted another command: "Shelling-shelling-"

Therefore, the Japanese mountain artillery urgently aimed and wanted to hit the mortar battalion on the mountain, but the gunner's eyes were a little dazzled for a while, the Japanese mountain artillery was 3, but the mortars of the Eighth Route were more than 100, and they were scattered into several positions, where to shoot. Besides, the train is still moving, and hitting a stationary target on a moving train is like hitting a walking target from stationary, how high-tech it must be. Some Japanese soldiers complained: "Baga, you can't do your skills, you can't do your skills-"

Before the Japanese could tell their suffering, more than 100 mortar shells were dropped, and these shells were exploding, and more than 100 shells were falling, and more than 100 shells were falling......

The entire column was enveloped in the rumbling explosions, and in the thick smoke there was nothing to be seen from the outside. Some carriages deserved to be unlucky, suffering more than 10 shells, some less, and some had four or five shells, and the bombs directly blew through the thin roof of the carriage and fell into the group of devils, and for a while the arms, legs, stomachs, and intestines of the little devils flew directly into the sky.

The armored car was even more unlucky, because there was no roof, and the shells fell directly on the devils, and before the shells exploded, they killed several devils. A mortar shell exploded in the stomach of the devil, so can you still live? Someone to tell.

However, the train still had inertia, and the blown train was still moving towards the bridge, and when it reached the bridge, it could no longer be driven, when an ammunition car exploded, and there was a loud "boom-boom-boom-" on the ground, and a larger ball of fire and smoke rose up, blowing up the bridge and the train falling into the river.

At this time, Han Xing on the mountain showed a smug smile, and Liu Zhiyuan's heart also blossomed.

Liu Hong saw it in his eyes and was happy in his heart, stretched out his thumb to praise Liu Zhiyuan and said: "Our railway guerrillas are also well-known and hard-tied, and no one in the Jinpu Line knows or knows, but if we fight this battle, it can only be to lay mines, blow up its train, and then sweep at its train with a machine gun." Laying mines, it has minesweepers, machine-gun sweeps, it has armored vehicles, and we can't take much advantage of it. Look at your battle, you completely bullied the little devil and beat him so that he lost his temper. ”

A company commander couldn't see the way out of the door and asked, "Battalion Commander Liu, should we rush down and pick up foreign fish." ”

Liu Zhiyuan smiled: "Pick up something, there's nothing, it's all blown up." ”

Han Xing hurriedly interjected and said, "Why not, the devil's broken arms and legs, do you want them?" Also, the devil wounded soldier who was lucky not to be killed by the explosion, can you save it? If you are saved, you will save the devil hospital. They can't fight anymore, but they still have to spend a lot of money and energy to feed them. ”

The company commander understood, and then said, "I know, the rest of the wounded soldiers, just give the devils a headache!" We're not going to help them. ”

Another company commander reported: "Report to Battalion Commander Liu, we have no casualties, but a lot of shells have been consumed, more than 500 rounds." ”

Liu Zhiyuan was so angry that he scolded: "How did I tell you, you have to learn to live, saying that a cannon can only fire 4 shots, whose business is this?" Check it out carefully, if all the shells are gone, what will happen to the next mission. ”

The company commander said: "The soldiers were fighting happily for a while, and they forgot to check the number. It was said that the shells were running out anyway, so look for the logistics minister. ”

Han Xing shouted: "Nima, I brought you cannons, and I got cannonballs, if you run out of shells and come to me again, then you won't be able to live." The happier you are, the more difficult it is for me to suffer, and I am always unlucky! ”

Liu Zhiyuan immediately issued another order: "The troops will be assembled immediately and immediately advance towards the second goal." ”

Therefore, the troops gathered in the whole group, then lined up in formation, and under the guidance of Liu Hong's team, they quickly marched to the second target.

In the evening, when I arrived at White Horse Mountain, the underground party of the locomotive depot had come to connect. Under the leadership of the underground party, the troops bypassed Dajinzhuang, the stronghold of the devils, and then quietly approached the Jinan locomotive depot.

I have to insert a sentence here, if it is not said that China's War of Resistance can be won, if it is not for the help of the underground party, if there is no support of the people, this battle will not be fought! At that time, there were a lot of Japanese garrisons in Jinan, but *** had already burrowed into the stomach of devils like roundworms. Jinan Locomotive Depot has long been active, and some workers have long hated the Japanese devils and have long been united around them.

At this time, it was close to 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, but there were still some lights in the locomotive depot, and some vehicles were coming and going in an orderly manner under the command of workers with signal lights, or carrying out car making operations, or driving into the workshop for maintenance and repair.

The comrades of the underground party in the locomotive depot looked at their watches, and when the time had come, they nodded to Liu Hong. Liu Hong took out his pistol and pointed it towards the sky, "Bang!" Syllable! Syllable! "Three shots were fired.

The three shots were a warning to all workers on duty to dodge quickly to avoid unnecessary casualties. After hearing the gunshots, there was chaos in the locomotive depot, and the workers moved away from the locomotive, because they had been notified in advance that there was an action tonight.

Of course, the guns were also heard, and the guards knew that there was a situation, and immediately the whistle was blown, and the devils began to run towards the locomotive. They know that these locomotives are more precious than their lives, and if the locomotives are gone, what kind of battles will they fight, what kind of military transportation will they do.

10 minutes later, Liu Zhiyuan gave an order, and 100 mortars bombarded the locomotive in the locomotive depot for a while, not only blowing up the locomotive in a mess, but also blowing up the devil who came to protect the locomotive to cry dad and call his mother, especially at that time it was all steam locomotives, and the smashed locomotive burst out of hot water, which made the little devil immediately become braised pork.

The little devil who didn't die was in a hurry, and under the commander's order, "Baga, here-", rushed towards Liu Zhiyuan's team. Liu Zhiyuan's team not only had mortars, but also machine guns, and after a while, they suppressed the little devil who only had 38 big covers. A few more shells hit me, and it really hit the little devil, and he really suffered and had nowhere to complain.

Look at the locomotive is almost blown up, and at this time, the devils in the whole Jinan are also moving in this direction. Liu Zhiyuan shouted: "Don't let them play, withdraw—" The team retreated to the back. Since the terrain had been reconnoitred in advance, the team soon disappeared into the darkness of the night.

Relying on these mortars and machine guns, Liu Zhiyuan's troops fought here and there along the Jinpu line, and hit the key railway departments of the devils. After tossing for more than ten days, the Jinpu line was also ruined, and the devil's train couldn't run for a while.

Liu Zhiyuan's troops hid in Dafeng Mountain, recuperating their strength, and as soon as the devil's transportation line was repaired and the train was on the road, Liu Zhiyuan led this unit to start the wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of the devil's railway line.

The Battle of Xuzhou ended quickly, and the Chinese army won the victory of annihilating more than 10,000 Japanese troops in Taierzhuang, and abandoned Xuzhou in order not to be surrounded by the Japanese army, and the defenders broke through from the mountainous area on the border of Anhui and Henan.

Now that the Battle of Xuzhou has ended, Han Xing and they are about to withdraw to the base area of Guan County, Han Xing said to Liu Zhiyuan worriedly: "Although the Battle of Xuzhou is over now, I am still a little worried!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan asked, "What are you worried about?" ”

Han Xing said: "I'm worried about besieging Commissioner Fan's troops in Puxian County, take a look, Commissioner Fan's team is either bandits or miscellaneous local forces, compared with the 10 detachments, military training, political literacy, weapons and equipment are a lot worse, although there are 6,000 people, but there are 2,000 devils and traitors!" A few people in Commissioner Fan's team can beat a devil, you know better than me. So, I'm really worried about Commissioner Fan......"

Liu Zhiyuan said: "You don't want to think about it, there are 260 kilometers in a straight line from here to the front line in Puxian County, that is, 520 miles, and you have to detour along the way to avoid the enemy's heavy blockade line, which is even farther." I'm afraid that when I get there, the cucumber dishes are cold. ”

Han Xing smiled and said, "You said that this is walking, how can it take five or six days, but it is different by car." ”

Liu Zhiyuan pouted and said: "Where do we have cars, little devils only have them." ”

Han Xing smiled again and said, "Look down on me as a Han Xing, don't believe me as the director of the industrial bureau." Many factors in the so-called winning or losing of a war are the grasp of time. I have a car, will you sit it? ”

Liu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up: "You really have a car, where did you get a car." ”

"Come and see." Han Xing pulled Liu Zhiyuan to the door, and sure enough, not far away, there was a car parked, Liu Zhiyuan checked, there were 5 cars in total.

Han Xing said: "Whether it is to withdraw or transport troops to Puxian, there must be cars, three of which are mortars for transporting from the previous year, and two of which are new products from the Industrial Bureau." Although there is a little less, people do not stop, and even walking and pulling, it is much faster than walking! ”

At this time, Zhang Weihan of the 10th detachment came with an order, ordering Liu Zhiyuan's battalion to quickly support the Puxian front. Liu Zhiyuan slapped his thigh happily and shouted: "Then what are you waiting for, quickly send troops to the front line of Pu County." ”
