Chapter 49: The Shelling of the Carriage
"Smack! Syllable! Two crisp gunshots rang out from the front of the railway, and someone on the tracks directly in front of them waved a small red flag to signal the train to stop.
"Stop!" With Hu Fei's order, the driver and stoker dropped the brake brake at the same time, and the train made a screeching brake.
"Bang bang bang!" The gunfire was instantly intense, and a group of cavalry appeared on the left side of the train, kicking up dust and chasing the train from back to front. It's a cavalry regiment led by Ji Jinbiao!
Gunshots rang out on the train, and sparks and clouds of smoke appeared in the windows, and the devils began to fight back.
In the wilderness, armed men were shooting at the train directly in front of them, on the left and to the right, and troops were trying to get close to the train. The devil apparently used the train as an ironclad car to defend against bullets, and was shooting at the attackers outside the train through the carriage board. At the same time, some of the devils began to move back and forth from the carriage, trying to make contact with the locomotive in front and the passenger car behind.
Cheng Laozhuan and the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion had already vacated the sixth and seventh carriages, and these two carriages were regarded by him as the middle ground of the battle. As soon as the devil opened the door of the aisle of the carriage, a machine gun was set up over there to strafe it, "Dang dang dang!" "Bullets rained down, killing and wounding a number of devils on the spot. The rest of the devils hurriedly closed the carriage door. Smash the window panes and shoot through the windows. The two sides began to fire at each other across a carriage.
There are devils who are not afraid of death who pull the door and rush out, holding the 96-style while shooting wildly, while screaming and rushing this way. A string of bullets from our machine gunners knocked the mad devil into a sieve. The devil is coming again, and he will fight again! Of course, the casualties were two-sided, and the bullets fired by the devils also caused serious damage to our soldiers, and our machine gunners died at a rate of one in five minutes.
The devil sent someone to seize the locomotive, but when he got to the locomotive, he found that the cab was empty, and the driver, stoker, and conductor all ran away!
Stopping here is to be beaten passively, and the Japanese commander found two people who could drive the train to get the train running again, but when he checked it, he found that several key components were missing from the cab, and the train couldn't run at all!
"Eight Tooth Road!" The devil Dazuo was furious, of course, it can also be said to be frightened. "Quick, report to General Suzuki, the train is attacked by the main force of the Shina Army, and our army needs tactical guidance!"
The telegram was sent, and the battle for the passenger compartment continued, and the armed soldiers outside the carriage gathered more and more. Yamazaki was surprised to find that he could see at least more than 3,000 Chinese soldiers! How good would it be if the main force of the brigade should be at this time?
The devil Yamazaki Dazuo is regretting, but Hu Fei has already arrived at Yang Jinsheng's regimental command post.
"Commander, you're here!" Knowing that Hu Fei was coming, Yang Jinsheng hurriedly ran in with a few black ashes on his face.
"Hahaha, Jin Sheng, you and the train stoker are about to have a match." Hu Fei pointed at Yang Jinsheng and laughed. The stoker next to him, Huang Xin, also smiled.
Yang Jinsheng looked at Huang Xin, stretched out his hand to wipe a handful on his face, and quickly rubbed his sleeve a few times with the corner of his mouth twitched to be a smile, and then saluted and asked, "How to fight next, please give the commander an order!" ”
"Okay, order Liu to crook his neck and set up a cannon to bomb me!"
"But aren't there any passengers on the train?" Yang Jinsheng scratched his head, a little puzzled by this order. Indiscriminate killing of innocents doesn't seem to be Hu Fei's style, right?
"Let him aim me at the second and third carriages of the train, and the passengers are all behind. If Liu's crooked neck can't even hit two carriages, Lao Tzu will straighten his neck! ”
One carriage is nearly thirty meters, and two carriages are sixty meters. If such a big target can still be missed, Liu Crooked Neck really doesn't need to be a crooked neck anymore. The order reached the artillery battalion, and Liu Crooked Neck personally corrected the scale of several guns. With a single command, several cannons were fired in unison, and the shells accurately hit the three carriages behind the front of the locomotive. To be on the safe side, shelling was forbidden in the fourth and fifth carriages.
The compartment hit by the shell exploded, several large holes were blown open in the compartment panel, and the flames burned.
"Yaga! In disregard of international conventions, the Chinese army even shelled a passenger train, did they want to blow up the entire train passengers? Yamazaki was furious, he really didn't expect this group of opponents to dare to shoot at the train. Luck was on his own, he went to the fifth carriage and commanded the troops to attack the passenger compartment behind. Otherwise, this guy's command car would have been in the third quarter, and he would have been blown up just now.
The telegram of the complaint was sent, and it is not known what effect it had. However, Yamazaki Osa knows that he really doesn't have many cards in his hand now. was originally going to kidnap a train passenger and fight a tug-of-war with Hu Fei, but he didn't expect the situation to get out of control as soon as the battle began. The passengers were not kidnapped, and the carriage in which the Japanese were traveling was shelled, and he lost at least a few dozen of his men.
Passengers began to evacuate from the back compartments. Cheng Laozhuan and the reconnaissance battalion still held on to the eighth carriage. It took a lot of effort for the devil to barely capture the sixth carriage. Just now, a shell landed outside the fourth carriage and exploded. Although he missed, Yamazaki Osa had already sensed the danger of the qi. If he persists, he will inevitably end up in the annihilation of the whole army!
What about reinforcements? Yamazaki sent five telegrams in a row, and was rewarded with a report that reinforcements were already on the way, and the commander of the Suzuki Brigade asked Yamazaki Osa to fight bravely and tenaciously and hold out until the reinforcements arrived.
Steadfast, brave and tenacious fighting Yamazaki Daisa has already done it, but it may be a bit difficult to hold on until reinforcements arrive. The train was so long that the opponent had lost his mind and shelled the carriages section by section. This is an ordinary car, not an armored train, which can withstand a few shells? To stay and hold on is to wait for death! Yamazaki Daisa thinks he was right, but he makes a decision that he will regret for the rest of his life, retreat!
The devils got off the train, lined up in battle formation, and began to retreat. However, the way they thought was the right way to escape was the path to the Yasukuni Shrine.
Ji Jinbiao and his cavalry regiment have already circled the train for I don't know how many times, just like a tiger watching a fat sheep swallow saliva. The devil is not easy to do in the train, and now the prey actually takes the initiative to get off the train, isn't that just sending the sheep into the tiger's mouth?
The cavalry regiment passed with a whistle, and the Yamazaki brigade was subtracted from each side. It looks inconspicuous, but Yamazaki Osa knows that the opponent has lost more than one-tenth of his team by just one cavalry charge!
Go back again? The fire behind him soared into the sky, and the train became a real "train"! The way back has been cut off, just run forward whether you are dead or alive! Yamazaki Osa was leading people to run, and suddenly there was a loud gunfire in front of him, and there were ambushes!
Li San gave an order to a dozen heralds: "Put up the flag, blow the trumpet of the charge, and order the battalions to start attacking!" ”
The tick-tock trumpet resounded in the sky, and countless soldiers shouted the slogan of killing the enemy, waving the fiery red military flag and rushing towards the enemy!
