Being in charge of train escort is undoubtedly a very dangerous and boring task. For the two Japanese squadrons that came out of Taiyuan this time, they were also very vigilant during the movement of the train, and paid attention to the situation around the railway at any time.

Even in order to ensure the safety of the train, when leaving Taiyuan this time, the Japanese army deliberately built a heavy machine gun position on the top of the train carriage that could control the front and rear, and four Japanese soldiers were responsible for guarding it.

The rest of the Japanese troops staying in the carriage also kept their weapons in their hands and were ready to go into battle at any time. When they heard the whistle of the train pulling three long and two short, the Japanese soldiers resting in the carriage were urged.

'There is a situation! Everyone be on guard and ready to fight! ’

Looking at the train slowing down slowly, there are also puppet troops on both sides of the railway and guiding the Japanese army. The Japanese soldiers who escorted the train breathed a sigh of relief. I know that if I can't do it, something will happen in front of me.

When the first train stopped safely on the platform, I looked at the Japanese second lieutenant waiting on the platform, the Japanese lieutenant in charge of escorting, and saw that the entire train station seemed to be in a state of preparation for battle, and I also realized that something was wrong with the situation.

Looking at the Japanese ensign who saluted and greeted, the lieutenant in charge of escorting the supplies quickly said, "Second Lieutenant Kusakawa, is there something going on ahead?" ”

'Yes, Lieutenant! Just now, the railway from Shouyang to Yangquan was blown up, and the situation is not yet in the situation. Ten minutes ago, Shouyang Railway Station was also damaged by the Chinese army, and it is said that the railway was blown up a lot.

I received a call from the Shouyang garrison officer asking me to stop your train. To be on the safe side, I had to prepare for defense in advance. Now you're here. I'm a lot more relieved. ’

'Na! The railway in Shouyang was blown up? ’

'Yes! This is really sad news, our railroad has just been built. It turned out to be blown up again. These damned Chinese troops will only do this kind of sneak attack. That's it. Our railroad was cut off again.

Before receiving the order from your superiors, I am afraid that Lieutenant Miyaya and your subordinates can only rest here at the small station. Oh! Earlier, I had people prepare some hot rice and hot dishes, and I asked Lieutenant Miyaya to enjoy some of them. ’

'Yo! Fortunately, Second Lieutenant Kusakagawa! However, let's wait for Captain Tagawa to come over, let's go together! ’

'Hey! ’

After leaving some troops on duty on the train, the machine gunners who blew cold wind on the top of the train still had no intention of coming down. Even if it seems safe here, but the little devil is on a mission. Still very vigilant.

When the second train stopped, Lieutenant Miyaya, who was in the first car, also went to welcome Captain Tagawa, who was on the next train. In the absence of an adjutant, Tagawa is undoubtedly the supreme commander here.

After listening to the report, Captain Tagawa also had a headache and said: "Eight Grid Tooth Road, it seems that we can't go this time." ”

At this time, Second Lieutenant Kusakawa at the railway station said in a timely manner: "Tagawa-kun, now you are the supreme commander here." In order to make sure that you have arrived here safely, I need to trouble you to call the Shouyang garrison.

As for what's next. Whether you continue to stay here or return to Taiyuan, you need to contact the direction of Shouyang. I was at the headquarters and prepared some sake and side dishes. I also hope that Tagawa-kun and Miyamoto-kun will appreciate the light! ”

'Yo! Kusakawa-kun, bother! ’

In these two Japanese squadron leaders, with their squad leaders. When we go to the barracks at the train station together to rest and report the situation. The Japanese soldiers who stayed on the platform also saw the puppet soldiers pushing steaming meals.

He bowed his head and said, "Taijun." This is the dinner that Taijun Kusakawa ordered to prepare for you. ”

Originally, there was still some resistance to escorting the Japanese army. Seeing that there was meaty pork in the food that was pushed, it also seemed a little salivating. This kind of treatment, even if they don't usually see it!

It was also at this time that the Japanese soldiers who were originally stationed at the railway station quickly smiled and said, "This is the trophy that our Second Lieutenant Kusakawa captured from a nearby village." You just happened to come here today, and you cooked the whole pig. ”

'Yo! This loot is huge! ’

Perhaps because he saw that there were people on guard on the periphery, the Japanese soldiers who were originally staying in the carriage were finally called out. A group of people squatted on the open space of the platform and began to enjoy the 'spoils' of the station manager.

What really didn't come down were the machine gunners on top of the train. It's just that most of the eyes of these machine gunners are focused on the soldiers who are eating meat. They want to eat, and they have to wait for someone to change the guard.

These Japanese soldiers who were talking freely with the soldiers of the infantry squad at the station didn't notice the smile in the eyes of those puppet soldiers who seemed to be envious. This smile also realizes that something very dangerous is about to happen.

And at this moment, in the station command room, I also saw Tian Chuan and the others who had prepared a table of sumptuous meals, and they did not forget to report their situation in advance. It was learned that the Shouyang side was still investigating the situation and had not yet received a reply from the North China Front.

This also means that even if they want to return to Taiyuan, they still need to get instructions from the North China Front. Before receiving instructions, they could not return to these two trains at will.

However, the garrison officers of Shouyang still asked them to strengthen security vigilance before receiving the order from the North China Front. They must report to Shouyang every half an hour to confirm their safety.

For the garrisons of the Japanese garrisons in various cities, they all knew that the goods transported on these two trains were very valuable. Otherwise, two infantry squadrons would not have been sent to escort them. Therefore, for both trains they attach great importance to it.

Now that the train has entered the territory of Shouyang, it means that the garrison officer of Shouyang needs to ensure the safety of the two trains. If these two trains have problems in his defense zone, he must be the one who will be punished.

After the phone report, Second Lieutenant Kusakawa said with a smile: "Tagawa-kun, Miyamoto-kun, hard work." It's a rare opportunity to meet two people who come to the station, and I hope that this little thing prepared can satisfy the two of them. ”

Pointing to the dining table placed at the headquarters, Second Lieutenant Kusakawa still respectfully invited the two of them and his subordinates to dine together. For such an invitation, Tagawa and Miyamoto, who also knew that they could not leave for the time being, would naturally not refuse such an invitation.

There was a garrison puppet barracks, plus two infantry squadrons. In the opinion of many Japanese commanders, such a guard force would require at least one regiment to attack Shanghu Station to deal with the anti-Japanese forces they had come into contact with.

But with the blocking fortifications of the railway station, they held out until reinforcements arrived, and there should be no problem. It is this kind of self-confidence that makes these Japanese soldiers, who can only eat dry food on the train, reluctant to miss such a big meal.

Even Captain Tagawa, who was sitting in the main seat, said with a smile: "Kusakawa-kun, it seems that your life here is better than ours!" ”

In the face of such envy, Second Lieutenant Kusakawa said with a little helplessness: "Tagawa-kun, if I have a choice, I would prefer to go to the front line to fight for the empire." It's really boring to stay here, and there is no future!

Although I am stationed at this small station, I have access to a lot of supplies from the empire to and from this railway every day. Even the people of China next to me need me to shelter them. But as a soldier, shouldn't you be more present on the battlefield? ”

Such an answer made Captain Tagawa seem to appreciate it: "Yo, yours is a loyal Imperial officer. If there is a chance, I will propose to Suzuki Nakasa that you be transferred to the front line in Taiyuan or Jinzhong. ”

'Thank you, Captain Tagawa, this is the sake I asked someone to bring from Japan, please drink this cup to the full!' ’

Ensign Kusakawa seemed pleased with Tagawa's promise. As everyone started drinking, they also tasted the sake prepared by Kusakawa, and it was indeed the taste of imperial sake. A group of low-ranking officers, all of whom looked very excited.

At this time, the Japanese soldiers who had finished the meal also stood on the platform in twos and threes chatting. The Japanese machine gunners, who had only been able to watch before, were also replaced from the top of the carriage by the Japanese soldiers who quickly settled dinner.

Just when these machine gunners, who had been blowing cold all night and had managed to get out of the carriage, were ready to start eating. The scene that made them feel horrified kept appearing on the platform as if they were infected.

Many Japanese soldiers who finished the meal suddenly felt a little dizzy and said, "How do I feel dizzy!" ”

As he muttered these words, these Japanese soldiers, who were sitting or standing, who had finished their meals, soon fell to the ground one after another like the evil spirits. Even the machine gunner, who climbed into the car to change guards, also felt that something was wrong.

Just as they were about to shoot, they either fainted directly because they felt sleepy, or a crossbow arrow flew from the shadows and shot them directly from the carriage. And the moment someone fainted, the enthusiastic Japanese soldiers turned into a killing god.

Drawing a sharp saber, he quickly obliterated the machine gunners as they were caught off guard. Even if the blood splattered on the bodies and faces of these knife-wielders, it still did not interrupt their quick obliteration of the Japanese machine gunners.

A Japanese sergeant major, who was also aware of the situation, pulled the trigger of the rifle in his hand even though his eyes were very sleepy. As soon as the gunshots rang out, everyone who was eating in the box seemed taken aback.

Even soon, Captain Tagawa put down his wine glass and said vigilantly: "There are dripping guns!" ”

And Second Lieutenant Kusakawa, who also looked very nervous, immediately said: "Come on, go and see what's going on outside?" ”

As a result, the Japanese soldiers at the entrance of the box quickly walked out. At the same time, Captain Tagawa felt a little uneasy and insisted on going outside to see what was going on in person.

When they walked out of the command room, looked at the Japanese soldiers lying on the platform and did not know whether they were alive or dead, and then looked at Second Lieutenant Kusakawa beside them. only to find that this previously humble Japanese second lieutenant was staring at them with a smile on his face.

And the Japanese soldiers who greeted them at the small station before were all holding a strange gun aimed at them at this moment. In the face of this kind of scene, no matter how stupid people are, they know that these people are not Japanese soldiers at all, but someone is impersonating! (To be continued.) )
