"Staff Officer Sun, send this over. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoContact the new 2nd Brigade of the Eighth Route Army in Fuyashan, Shandong. Liu Tianshu stared at the map and studied it carefully for a while, and decided to ask the radio to contact the new second brigade of the Eighth Route Army in Fuya Mountain.

The new 2nd Brigade of the 8th Route Army in Fuyashan is the old unit to which Liu Tianshu belongs, and Brigade Commander Hong Feihu and Political Commissar Jiang Jinyong are both his old superiors; according to the information he has obtained, the new 2nd Brigade has developed in the direction of Jinan, and it should have its own intelligence network there, and if they can get the operation of the train for the transportation of Japanese munitions, they can concentrate their forces and carry out a major operation on the railway east of Zhangbaling.

Some time ago, he had secretly ordered Tong Guijie to send reconnaissance personnel to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the situation on the railway over there, but he had not personally gone over to see it now.

However, considering that there is such a long railway line to the east of Zhangbaling, it should not be difficult to find the ideal ambush location.

It's just that ambushing the Japanese military train is not a simple matter, and Liu Tianshu still reported to Commander Luo through the radio for instructions.

Commander Luo and Political Commissar Guo didn't expect Liu Tianshu to have such a big appetite and actually started the idea of the devil army. However, once the devil's arms transport train is ambushed, the gain and impact are so great that it is exciting to think about it.

It's just that Commander Luo feels that the fifth detachment does not have this ability at present, but Liu Tianshu's performance in eastern Anhui, every time there is an accident, since he can think of this, he should have a more perfect plan, and finally Commander Luo acquiesced to his plan, and at the same time asked for intelligence support from above.

After Commander Luo agreed to his plan, Liu Tianshu immediately began to make arrangements, he ordered the second battalion, the third battalion and the fourth battalion to leave one company each responsible for guarding the base area, and the rest of the troops quietly assembled to Majiaji, and at the same time ordered the independent battalion to also rush to Majiaji.

In order to complete the mobilization of the troops, Liu Tianshu adopted many methods of concealing the world, and it took a week to finally transfer the assembled troops to the dense forest of Zhang Baling to stand by.

As Liu Tianshu's old leader, Hong Feihu learned of his idea of fighting the devil's transport army, and naturally instructed the intelligence departments below to fully cooperate, and then the entire Shandong underground organization was mobilized to pay full attention to the situation of the devil's railway transport.

In the end, the intelligence network in North China also began to operate, and just when Liu Tianshu and his troops secretly rushed to Zhangbaling, the superiors of the New Second Brigade sent a telegram that the Japanese army had a batch of military supplies from the northeast to Tianjin, and was about to go south along the Jinpu Road to Pukou, and then transported it by ship to the direction of Jiujiang.

The specific quantity and type of these materials are not clear, and the North China underground party is making every effort to get the devil a specific timetable.

Liu Tianshu had already expected that the devils would transport ammunition and materials to Nanjing by rail, because in the last battle of Changsha, the devils used the railway to transport a large number of supplies.

Although the specific goal is not clear, as long as there is a big battle, the ammunition supply that the devil needs to invest is massive.

Even if they are not ready to fight, the devils will usually use the railway to transport ammunition and materials from the northeast to central China.

It's just that the operation arrangement of the devil's train is highly confidential and not easy to obtain.

Although there are underground parties in Beiping and Tianjin that fully cooperate in collecting intelligence, some things still have to be implemented in the details, and the railway guerrillas operating in the Yuncheng area of Zaozhuang have received the task of asking the inner line to pay close attention to the situation at the stations along the way, especially the operation of the devil's train.

Liu Tianshu went to Zhang Baling's battalion headquarters, and after listening to his report on Zhang Baling's development, he walked around with him and felt that the first battalion was doing very well in Zhang Baling.

However, so many troops suddenly arrived in Zhangbaling, and Liu Tianshu naturally did not dare to be careless, and he handed over the secrecy work of the troops to Deputy Regiment Commander Liu to take charge of, and at the same time demanded that the local cadres in Zhangbaling fully cooperate and do a good job in the anti-special defense work.

Accompanied by Tong Guijie, after going to the railway line in disguise to conduct some field reconnaissance, Liu Tianshu felt that his heart was not steady, and after thinking about it, he called Zhou Aiguo, who came with him, and asked him to send two reconnaissance teams, bring the radio station and quietly enter Bengbu City, and after contacting the underground party, closely monitor the devil's railway station.

Bengbu is 180 kilometers away from the ambush site expected by Liu Tianshu, and it takes at least four hours for the train to leave Bengbu and enter the ambush circle, and these four hours are the time it takes for the troops to carry out the ambush position.

Liu Tianshu carefully considered the entire battle plan in his mind, and then called a meeting of the battalion commanders.

"Comrades, according to the information we have obtained, it is very likely that the devils will use the railway to transport a batch of war materials in the direction of Nanjing in the near future, and the task of our regiment this time is to intercept this batch of materials to support operations in other battlefields. Come, everyone, this is the intended ambush location. This is Dongniu Mountain, this is Xihuling, the railway passes through the foot of Dongniu Mountain, in order to ensure the safety of the railway, the devils built a stronghold along the railway and stationed a railway garrison, there is a Tengzhuang stronghold in the south of Dongniu Mountain, there is a wolf's head stronghold in the north, the two strongholds are only ten miles apart, and each has a small team of Japanese troops. In addition, there is also an ironclad vehicle for patrol in the Tengzhuang stronghold. Ten miles north of Dongniu Mountain, is the stronghold of Mingdian, where a mobile brigade of the Japanese army is stationed, and once the army of the devils is attacked, they can arrive within half an hour. Second battalion commander, your unit is responsible for deploying defenses on the north side of Dongniu Mountain, and once the battle starts, you are responsible for blocking the reinforcements of the devils. 3rd Battalion Commander, your troops are responsible for guarding the south side of the Tengzhuang stronghold, and once the battle begins, immediately cut off the railroad and block all enemy reinforcements from the north. The 4th Battalion and the 1st Independent Battalion were responsible for attacking the trains, and the 1st Battalion was responsible for uprooting the Tengzhuang stronghold and the wolf's head stronghold. The first company of the artillery battalion mortar cooperated with the second battalion to act, and the second company cooperated with the troops to attack the front and rear of the train, once the battle started, it must be over within two hours, do you understand? Liu Tianshu pointed to the map and finished talking about the battle concept, then looked at everyone and said.

"Got it, promise to complete the mission!" Several battalion commanders replied loudly.

Although they have never attacked the devil's train, and in the eyes of many soldiers, the train is still a behemoth, but these battalion commanders have long heard that when Commander Liu Tianshu was in Shandong, they led their troops to attack the devil's train transporting prisoners of war and rescued countless comrades-in-arms.

"Okay, everyone, we don't know when the devil's train will come, so this matter is still highly confidential, but then you can disguise yourself to go to the field to reconnoitre, and everything that may happen after the battle starts, you must anticipate in advance." Liu Tianshu did not forget to advise.

As for blowing up the railway ahead of schedule, the guard company was naturally responsible for this.

In the guard company of the 16th Regiment, there was a platoon dedicated to demolition.

Just as Liu Tianshu was preparing for an attack in the mountains of Zhangbaling, the Japanese military intelligence organs had two arguments about the arms transport that stopped at the Tianjin Railway Station.

This batch of materials was transferred from the base camp to the Japanese army in Central China, and it stands to reason that the Japanese army in North China only needs to release it as required, but the intelligence organs of the Japanese army in North China have inadvertently discovered that the underground organization in North China seems to be paying attention to this batch of materials.

Out of caution and after several discussions, this batch of munitions was prepared to leave Tianjin after dark and then go south, and the train would travel to Jinan in a hurry overnight, and then stay for a day, and then quietly go south in the evening, so that the most dangerous territory in Shandong would be at night.

Although the Shandong Eighth Route Army is very difficult, as long as you pay attention to secrecy, you should still be able to hide it.

Besides, following this batch of supplies to the south, there are two squadrons of the Japanese army, plus there are ironclad patrol cars in front to open the way, there are ironclad patrol cars in the back, and there are Japanese garrisons along the way to protect them, so they should not be afraid of Chinese attacks.

As for arriving at Bengbu, it was already dawn, and from Bengbu to Jinkou, there were only scattered troops of the New Fourth Army and the National Government Army along the way, and these troops were simply not capable of attacking the train, besides, this section of the road was so close to Nanjing that it could be reinforced by planes and large troops at any time, even if the Chinese had the audacity, they did not dare to come.

In the final analysis, the Japanese army in North China was worried about the attack of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong, and because the Japanese army in Central China had never attacked the military columns by Chinese, the troops guarding the railway were basically idle and bored, except for the occasional fierce battle with the Chinese army trying to cross the railway.

And Liu Tianshu's 16th Regiment, although the 166th Division of the Japanese Army was very sad, but the other Japanese troops did not feel anything, besides, the 16th Regiment was almost 200 highways away from the railway, who would have thought that he would run a long distance?

The news that the train carrying the arms had left Tianjin Station quickly reached Liu Tianshu, who knew that the efficiency of the Japanese was still quite high, and since this batch of supplies had been shipped, it should not be delayed for too long on the way.

As a result, the battalions of the 16th Regiment immediately began to move quietly eastward, and secretly hid ten miles west of the railway.

At this time, the soldiers of all battalions were all hiding in the dense mountains and forests under the stern orders of the battalion and company cadres.

At this moment, Liu Tianshu received a telegram saying that the batch of munitions had arrived in Jinan, but it suddenly stopped, and the military train did not immediately move south. Hearing the news, Political Commissar Guo Sizhong and Deputy Head Liu couldn't help but get nervous.

"Commander, did you say that the devils found out about our actions?" Guo Sizhong looked at Liu Tianshu with some concern. Deputy Head Liu also looked at him very worriedly.

Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said: "Political commissar, Lao Liu, I don't think this possibility is big, after all, our main force is hiding here, and the devil doesn't know it, as for the sudden stop of the military column, I think the devil is worried about the attack of friendly troops in Shandong." I heard that there is a railway guerrilla force in Zaozhuang that is very powerful, are the devils worried that they will attack the military column? If that's the case, I think the devil wants to go south quietly in the dark. Liu Tianshu thought for a while and said.

However, it is not very likely that the devils are worried about the railway guerrillas, and the biggest possibility is that they are worried about the attack of the main force of the Shandong Eighth Route Army, but most of the Eighth Route Army in Shandong is active in the mountainous areas of central and northern Shandong, and it is not very likely that they will leave the base area to attack the devil's army.
