Chapter 153: Tianjin-Pudong Railway

The bad news that came was like a bolt from the blue, making Aoki Mano's mood fall to the bottom in an instant, either of these two news was enough to crush Aoki Mano, let alone the two of them together?

Aoki Maano's face was pale, his breathing was short, and he only felt as if he couldn't breathe, and only after half a sound did he ease his strength with difficulty, smiled bitterly, and slowly sat down.

The staff officer next to him and the officer of the telecommunications office looked at their wing captain with a trace of pity in their eyes, and looked at their wing commander sympathetically, as the saying goes, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility, these two blows are deadly enough, at least the hat wing captain who has no way to lead the troops and is not well managed, I am afraid that he will be fixed.

After the Japanese army broke through the city of Nanjing, the Japanese base camp did not intend to expand the scale of the invasion, because Japan was not ready for a full-scale invasion of China, and they were ready to use the clumsy trick of armistice and peace talks to gain time for launching a full-scale war of aggression against China, but the officers of the front army in China at that time were full of confidence, believing that the Japanese army was invincible, and took the initiative to expand the scale of aggression, and wanted to open up the Tianjin-Pudong railway, but the Chinese government was not willing to be captured, appointed Li Zongren as the commander of the Fifth Theater, and mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. The implementation of the scorched earth anti-Japanese war policy, stubbornly blocked the Japanese army, the Japanese army in China was gradually overstretched, and the war materials on the front line were in short supply, so the safety of the Jinpu Railway, the logistics and transportation line of the Japanese army on the southern line, was particularly important, but at this time, the Jinpu Railway in the area that Aoki Mano was responsible for was wreaked havoc by the Shina army, which shows how much pressure Aoki Mano is facing.

In comparison, the defeat on the periphery of Feiyun Village was nothing, and Aoki Mano even regretted that he had wasted so many troops in Feiyun Village, so that the troops in other places were empty and neglected to take precautions, allowing the Chinese army to take advantage of it. But the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard in Feiyun Village is the army that the division commander Ogishu Libing named to annihilate, and Aoki Mano really has a hard time saying it.

''How badly was the Jinpu Railway?'' Mano Aoki finally came to his senses and asked him the question he was most concerned about first.

''It was reported that two kilometres were lost in three places, and that sleepers and railroad tracks had been blown up or had disappeared. The officer of the telecommunications office said cautiously.

''Baga, notify them immediately, immediately rush to repair the railway, and at the same time strengthen the control along the Jinpu railway, if this happens again, let them be disemboweled. Aoki Mano said solemnly.

''Hay, Your Excellency, go and do it at once. The officer at the telecommunications office bowed, turned and walked out.

''You immediately telegraph to Maezono Shigekichi, immediately end the mission of Feiyunzhai and return to his defense area, the safety of the Jinpu Railway is the top priority at present, and let him find out what happened in the No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 areas of Feiyunzhai as soon as possible. ''Aoki Mano said to another second lieutenant officer of the telecommunications office.

''Report, the captain of the front garden called, and the Ishida Shake Squadron and the other two squads were all broken. A signal soldier hurried in and said.

''Nani? What are you bastard talking nonsense about? Aoki Mano roared loudly with a mixture of anger. In fact, he had already guessed the outcome when he heard that these troops had lost contact, but he didn't want to believe it, and at this moment, Maezono Shigeyoshi called to confirm, and he couldn't help but be angry and didn't choose what to say.

''Your Excellency, Captain, that's what the Captain of the Front Park said in the telegram. The signal soldier said with a wince, looking at the angry Aoki Mano at a loss.

Aoki Mano suddenly sighed, waved his hand at the signal soldier, and lowered his head in a dejected manner.

When the second lieutenant and the signal corpsman of the telecommunications office had withdrawn, a staff officer with a horse's face said hesitantly; ''It's strange, how can there suddenly be so many more weapons of unknown origin?'' It's puzzling. ‘’

Another staff officer with a mustache said with a frown; Their purpose is very clear, that is, to destroy our lines of communication and prevent us from sending war materials to the front line, it is really hateful, they should be a small force sent by the Chinese people, we must eliminate and annihilate them as soon as possible, otherwise they will wait for the opportunity to sabotage our logistics and transportation lines, the Jinpu railway is so long, we can't prevent it." ‘’

Aoki Mano nodded and said solemnly; "The front-line war is at a critical moment, we must ensure the smooth flow of the Tianjin-Pudong railway, I order, from now on, everyone cancels their vacations and is on full alert." ‘’

''Hay, Humble Duty immediately convey your orders. The horse-faced staff officer snapped, turned and walked out.

''Your Excellency, Maezono Shigeyoshi's troops suffered heavy casualties, and the fighting power of the attackers should not be underestimated, and I don't know where they are. The mustachioed staff officer said with a frown.

Aoki Mano's face changed slightly, and he said slowly; ''If I'm not mistaken, they should be the Thunder Anti-Japanese Vanguard hiding in Feiyun Village. ‘’

The mustachioed staff officer was startled and said in astonishment; "Aren't they trapped in Feiyun Village by us?"

Aoki Mano sighed and said gloomily; ''They're good at special operations, Hideo Kitayama is right, and maybe we shouldn't be surprised that they do anything.'' ‘’

The two began to fall into silence, Aoki Mano had a headache, he was now thinking about how to report what happened here to the division commander Ogisu Tatsubing, he couldn't justify himself no matter what, he was convicted of serious dereliction of responsibility, and it was a matter of course to be reprimanded, he only hoped that the division commander would give him a little time, so that he could make up for it-

Liu Changfeng and the others had just woken up and were preparing to have lunch, when Wang Feiyan came over happily and said with a smile; "'Sir Liu, everyone, good news, the Japanese soldiers outside Feiyun Village have retreated, and they have retreated cleanly. ‘’

Everyone was overjoyed, Li Jie laughed and said; ''Surely they were frightened by us, and they walked fast.'' ‘’

Liu Changfeng didn't smile, tilted his head sideways and thought slightly, and said unhurriedly; ''Maybe the Japanese retreated not because of us, something must have happened that we didn't know about. ‘’

Liu Changfeng's calm judgment made Wang Feiyan secretly admire, and Gege smiled; ''Admire, Chief Liu has such a keen intuition, maybe you are right, our people also got a news, last night, there was a fierce battle on the side of Mingguang Town, and there is also a news that is also very strange, from the morning to now, there are no trains passing by the Jinpu Railway. ‘’

Liu Changfeng, Zhuo Wei, Situ Ming and Mo Haitao glanced at each other, and their hearts lit up, it must be the troops of the Nationalist Government who sabotaged the Jinpu Railway, which is a logistics supply line for the Japanese, which directly affects the war on the front line.

Mo Haitao said with a smile; "The army of the Nationalist Government has done a good job, and this is enough for the little devil to have a headache, and we are so good to fish in troubled waters and turn him upside down." ‘’

After lunch, Liu Changfeng and Mo Haitao walked to the training ground of the Sichuan army, and the scene they saw this time was very different from what they saw yesterday.

This is a little bit like this, Liu Changfeng and Mo Haitao nodded with satisfaction.

''Report sir, our department is conducting daily training, please instruct. Gao Jun ran over, stood up and saluted, and said solemnly.

Liu Changfeng returned a military salute and said seriously; ''Very good, please continue.'' ‘’

''Yes.'' Gao Jun said loudly.

"Company Commander Gao, after the training is over, your unit will go to the warehouse to get new equipment, one Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun, ten crooked light machine guns, one 38 big cover, a number of grenades, enough ammunition, and a radio station. ‘’

''Yes, thank you, sir.'' Gao Jun was overjoyed, his waist was straight, and he said loudly. The original weapons of his own troops were not only complicated and varied, but also worn, and some of them he himself could not guarantee whether they could be beaten, but now it was good, and he suddenly changed to all the Japanese military equipment, and he only felt that his waist was suddenly stiffened.

"But, sir, no one in our company knows how to use the radio, this 、、、、" Gao Jun said with an embarrassed face and hesitation.

''Fellow, little meaning, isn't there still me?'' Mo Haitao blinked and said.

''Oh, yes, yes, thank you, fellow. Gao Jun's face was full of joy and said vigorously.

''Well, you'll set up a communication class, is there a problem?'' Liu Changfeng smiled.

''Sir, no problem, Sir Xie's cultivation. Gao Jun spoke incoherently excitedly and shouted loudly. (To be continued.) )
