Chapter 283: Long Distance Attack (5)
On the Shandong Peninsula at night in winter, the bitter cold wind blows on the mountaintop, blowing the branches of the trees that have already lost their leaves, and it seems that even the snow on the top of the mountain is blown. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Fortunately, there has been no more snow in the past few days, and some dry leaves have also been revealed in the mountains and forests around Zhujiaao.
The 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 2nd Regiment of the New 1st Brigade were ambushed on both sides of the Zhujiaao section of the railway, and as for the railway west of Zhujiaao, the men of the reconnaissance brigade had already laid an ambush of explosives below and were ready to blow it up at any time.
It's just that these explosives are so cleverly placed that they are not easy to spot unless you search very carefully.
The 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment and the 3rd Battalion of the 3rd Regiment stood in the valley less than 500 meters away from the railway with the more than 300 villagers, ready to move forward at any time.
According to the information sent by the brigade headquarters, in order to ensure the safety of this batch of supplies, the devils set the time of departure from Qingdao at 12 o'clock in the evening, the time to arrive at Zhujiaao at about half past one in the morning, and the time to arrive at the Liming station at three o'clock in the morning.
The section of the road that the devil is most worried about is the section in Fuchang County and Jinyang County. Therefore, according to the operation plan formulated by the special high-tech department, when passing through these two counties, it was exactly 9 o'clock in the morning to 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the garrisons along the way were also asked to mobilize personnel to guard the railway to ensure that nothing went wrong.
On the hill north of Zhujiaao, Liu Tianshu and Liao Zhifeng sat together, and after reconfirming the details of the entire operation around the map, they just lit a cigarette when they received a telegram from Shi Qiang, saying that the devil's train had passed their ambush point and would arrive at Zhujiaao in ten minutes.
After reading the telegram, Liu Tianshu said to Liao Zhifeng: "Political commissar, the train will arrive in ten minutes, let's go, I'll go to the first camp to have a look, you stay here." ”
Liao Zhifeng knew that he was indeed inferior to Liu Tianshu when it came to commanding a war, so he nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll go to the third camp to have a look." ”
Liu Tianshu came to the first battalion, and Jin Zhenbiao saw the regiment commander and hurriedly greeted him.
"First battalion commander, how are the troops prepared?"
"It's all ready, promise to get the train in ten minutes." Jin Zhenbiao said confidently.
"That's good, but you can't take it lightly, the train will arrive in five minutes, and the control of the locomotive will be handed over to the reconnaissance team, they will ensure that the train will stop in front of your ambush circle, let go, as soon as the train stops, you must eliminate the devils who escort the car as soon as possible, and you must not let the devils blow up the train." Liu Tianshu raised his wrist, looked at his watch and said in a deep voice.
The 1st and 2nd battalions received orders from the regiment commander to immediately prepare for action in accordance with the battle plan.
Five minutes later, with the roar of a rumbling train, a train with only ten carriages gasped and climbed to Zhujiaao.
Standing less than 200 meters away from the railway, Liu Tianshu saw a light at the locomotive shake twice, and knew that the reconnaissance brigade had taken control of the locomotive, so he immediately ordered the first and second battalions to prepare for action.
The train climbed up the col, seemed to be tired of climbing, and slowly stopped, and as the sound of clanging became thinner and thinner, it finally lay on the top of the hill and stopped moving.
Morita, the captain of the Japanese squad in charge of escorting the train, was leaning on a chair and sipping sake with a taste, and he didn't care about the speed of the train dropping, because the train was climbing just now, and its speed was naturally slower.
His squad was located in two carriages behind the locomotive, one was the ticket car, in which he and seven or eight of his men sat in the ticket car, and in the second compartment behind was a heavily armed flatbed with two heavy machine-gun fortifications, and on either side were fortifications made of sandbags, where soldiers from three infantry groups were guarded.
And in the middle of the flatbed truck, there was also a 92 infantry gun and two mortars.
This time, the two squads in charge of escorting the vehicles were reinforced squads, which were not only equipped with heavy machine guns, but also reinforced infantry guns and mortars.
Finding that the train had stopped, he couldn't help but put down the wine glass in his hand, glanced out the window, and asked the chief next to him, "Ono-kun, go and see, what's going on?" ”
There was a coal car between the locomotive and the ticket car he was in, so he couldn't pass it at all, but when the train stopped, he could go over by railroad and ask.
"Okay," Ono nodded, put down his glass and immediately walked to the door, pulling the car door open.
At this moment, a dense burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from the north side of the train, and at the same time, countless figures flashed out of the night and rushed towards the train.
Ono's body just appeared at the car door, and a few bullets swept in, passing by his ****, Ono vomited blood in his mouth, and then fell forward.
The soldiers who were sleeping leaning against the fortifications with their guns wrapped in their guns were awakened by the sudden sound of gunfire, and some of them hurriedly stood up, just as they were hit by a dense number of bullets from a battalion, and many Japanese soldiers fell to the ground screaming.
The devil machine gunners and infantry gunners, at this time spotting the Chinese on the north side of the train, immediately moved their machine guns and opened fire on the rushing battalion. The first company to charge, rushed to a distance of fifty meters from the train, immediately lay on the ground, and did not show its head to charge, but kept shooting at the devils on the train.
The second company was responsible for attacking the rear of the car, and at this time it was also in a group with the Japanese squad guarding the rear of the car.
Morita was relieved to see that the Chinese were suppressed by his powerful firepower, and immediately ordered the signal corps to request reinforcements in the direction of Qingdao and Linan.
It's a pity that just after his message for help was sent, he saw a group of figures suddenly appear on the other side of the train, and these people saw that the devil's attention was focused on the north, and immediately pounced like a wolf, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the side of the train, and some even rushed to the door of the ticket car.
Seeing that the devil hadn't discovered that there was someone on the other side, Hao Mengxuan couldn't help but show a smug smile.
He saw that the first and second companies had rushed to the side of the train, and immediately raised his gun and pulled the trigger at a devil machine gunner who was firing fiercely, and a bullet flew out, directly lifting off the machine gunner's heavenly spirit cover.
With his shot, the second battalion immediately killed the train from the other side, and the devil did not expect that the Chinese would touch the train from behind, and it suddenly became a mess.
At the same time, gunshots rang out from the two ticket cars.
Under the flanking attack, the devil's resistance finally failed to last for ten minutes.
Seeing that the first and second battalions had eliminated the devils who were escorting the car, Liu Tianshu immediately ordered the third battalion and the third battalion of the third regiment to immediately rush to the side of the railway with the villagers, open the five carriages, and start carrying the materials inside.
At this time, the reconnaissance brigade led by Shi Qiang and Chen Jian saw the devil's reinforcements coming murderously, and immediately commanded the soldiers to detonate the explosives.
It seems that without three or five days of hard work, it will not be possible to open to traffic at all.
The devil ironclad train that came from Qingdao had to stop unwillingly on the other side of the broken bridge, and countless devils jumped off the train that came later, rushed through the small valley, and prepared to rush along the railway to Zhujiaao.
It's a pity that I climbed to the opposite side of the broken bridge, and I saw explosions under the railroad tracks in front of me one after another, countless rails were blown away, and a few devils rushed in front of them, and even rose into the air with the explosion.
At this moment, the reinforcements of the devil were at a loss for a while, and at this moment, a rain of bullets suddenly shot from the side, and it turned out to be four crooked handles sweeping at the same time, and countless bullets swept from the night, knocking down the devil soldiers standing on the railway one by one.
When the Japanese soldiers in the back saw this scene, they came back to their senses after a while and immediately rushed to this side.
Without waiting for these Japanese troops to arrive, the sneak attack of the Chinese suddenly disappeared into the darkness, as if nothing had happened.
If it weren't for the corpses of more than thirty Imperial soldiers lying on the railroad.
The Japanese commander who was in charge of directing the reinforcements couldn't help but gasp. He did not expect that before the troops arrived at Zhujiaao, thirty or forty imperial soldiers were killed, and he saw a little shadow of the Chinese, but the company commander did not see anything clearly.
It's still five kilometers away from Zhujiaao, can you let your subordinates walk to Zhujiaao with a pair of feet?
When the Japanese troops who came out of Qingdao to reinforce were overwhelmed, the Japanese troops who came from Li Nan also suffered the same fate.
The railway was blown up by the Chinese, and the soldiers who had to walk stepped on mines again, killing and wounding more than twenty soldiers, but only advanced five hundred meters.
At this rate, when they arrived at Zhujiaao, the Japanese commander couldn't think of anything else to do except collect the bodies of those soldiers.
The reconnaissance brigade took the blocking battle to the limit, and the two reinforcements of the Japanese army fell into an embarrassing dilemma.
Especially in the dark night, the Chinese's marksmanship seems to be surprisingly good, and every time the sound of the 38 big cover sounds, an imperial soldier will go to see His Majesty the Emperor.
As for the machine gunner who ran away without a fight, it became a nightmare for the Japanese army to advance along the railway.
Of course, the means of the reconnaissance brigade were not only these, and the mortars arranged on both sides of the railway, from time to time firing shells at the railway, gave the reinforcements of the Japanese army a headache.
However, when the commander of the Japanese army stationed in Qingdao learned that the military vehicle carrying supplies had been attacked at Zhujiaao, he was so angry that he lost his mind and shouted angrily on the phone that if he could not arrive at Zhujiaao in time to ensure the safety of the supplies, he would let them all disembowelment to thank the emperor.
The Japanese reinforcements on both sides were entangled by the reconnaissance brigade, and the two Japanese reinforcement squads in charge of escorting the car were wiped out, Liu Tianshu asked Liao Zhifeng to command the third battalion of the second regiment and the third battalion of the third regiment, and the villagers who came to help to step up the delivery of supplies, while he himself paid attention to the situation of the reconnaissance brigade.
As for the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the 2nd Regiment, after cleaning up the battlefield, two companies were also drawn out to join the ranks of carrying supplies. The other two companies, acting as reserves, quickly replenished their ammunition and then rushed to the two sides to meet the reconnaissance groups. (To be continued.) )
