The soldiers of a battalion and a company soon came to the ditch 50 meters away from the railway, and a group of more than a dozen people picked up the logs and ran to the railway, they put the logs side by side on the railway, and then someone quickly tied up more than 20 logs with the iron wire, like a large wooden raft being placed on the railroad tracks.

Almost all of the other troops, carrying sacks of sand, came to the designated area, and quickly dispersed in the fields and ditches in the units of squads and platoons, and hid themselves in the night. The commanders of the various units, after inspecting the various places, also returned to their own positions. At this point, the night soon returned to tranquility.

At 5 o'clock, the sky was already bright, and the train pulling Sun Liangcheng's military supplies was panting, emitting thick white smoke, and galloped over. Behind the front of the train were four passenger cars, then twelve wagons full of supplies, and the last one was also a passenger car. In the twelve wagons, soldiers with machine guns were on guard at the top of the cargo.

The section of the road where the wooden raft is put is just the bottom of a gentle slope, the train driver who came far away, can not see the wooden raft in the distance, the train driver finally discovered the existence of the wooden raft 200 meters away from the wooden row, and the emergency brake braked, and the train slowly stopped a hundred meters away from the wooden raft in the heart-rending harsh sound made by the friction between the wheels and the rails.

The two officers of the Northwest Army escorting the car at the front of the car first probed their heads to check in all directions, and then jumped out of the car, one ran to the front to check the situation, and the other ran to the passenger car behind.

The small officer of the Northwest Army, who ran to the back to report the situation, was shouting for the car door, and inadvertently looked up at the back of the car, and was immediately stunned, only to see that behind the rear of the car, 200 meters away in the farmland, suddenly appeared many soldiers wearing grass-green military uniforms, a group of more than a dozen people, together carrying the thick logs and running quickly towards the railway, after putting the logs on the tracks, someone threw more than a dozen sacks into the middle of the logs, and soon more than a dozen huge logs were piled up on the rails on the roadbed. The alarmed officer immediately understood what was going on and shouted "enemy attack".

Stretched out his hand and grabbed the car door, trying to get into the car quickly to escape, but when he looked at the soldier who was opening the door for him in the car, he looked into the distance behind him in surprise. The officer looked back, and saw that 100 meters away from the railway, in the still quiet field, at some point, many soldiers in the same grass-green military uniforms suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and they were quickly carrying the packed sandbags from under the seedlings in the farmland, and their quick and swift movements piled up simple sandbag fortifications, and quickly added machine guns on them, almost at this moment, a dense burst of rifle fire rang out, and the officer only felt a chill in his chest, He was smashed to the ground by the corpse of a comparable soldier who fell from the top of the rushing car, and lost consciousness forever.

With the sound of rifle firing, the machine guns of the Northwest Army on the carriage also rang out, but only a few were ringing guns, but they only fired a dozen bullets before they stopped abruptly.

After a short period of panic, some people of the Northwest Army on the carriage began to push away the bodies of machine gun shooters lying next to the machine guns, ready to return fire, but as soon as they appeared, they were killed by more than a dozen bullets fired from the north and east, and some soldiers were even shot a dozen times.

The door of the carriage has been opened, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army began to jump out of the car, trying to deploy troops under the car, but it was too late, the doors of each carriage were firmly blocked by several machine gun fire, and the soldiers of the Northwest Army who jumped out of the car were all knocked to the ground by dense machine gun bullets without exception, followed by the dull shooting sound of Maxine, which was not shot at the door, but at the window of the passenger car, with the sound of the window glass shattering, there were bursts of painful screams from inside the car.

The time for the Maxine heavy machine gun fire was short, lasting less than a minute. Then, as there were no more soldiers of the Northwest Army rushing out of the passenger car, and the light machine guns blocking the doors of the car stopped firing, only the characteristic sound of the 38 style continued to sound intermittently, accurately shooting anyone who dared to throw themselves in the carriage and tried to return fire.

As soon as the machine guns stopped firing, someone set up a machine gun on the window of the car and fired back, and soldiers rushed out at the door, but their actions immediately attracted more fierce machine gun fire, the most obvious being that Maxine's shooting was obviously intensive. The thick hardwood walls of the carriage could not stop the rain of bullets shot by Maxine a hundred meters away, and the outer wall of the passenger car was beaten like a hornet's nest. A layer of corpses soon piled up on the ground in front of the carriage door.

In the headquarters of a battalion 100 meters away, Wang Liang, deputy commander of a regiment, was holding a telescope to observe the battle situation. ”

The commander of the first battalion also put down his binoculars and said: "They are much more fierce than the solemn troops of the 19th Army, deputy commander, I think it's time to shout?" ”

"Don't worry, we have to wait until they don't dare to rush out again." Wang Liang raised the telescope again to observe.

Soon the people in the carriage gave up the idea of rushing out of the car, and only fired a few shots back at the window from time to time, but each window that returned fire was immediately strafed by the light and heavy machine guns outside, and after a few minutes, the Northwest Army in the carriage found that as long as they did not return fire, the machine guns outside would stop firing. Their safety was also guaranteed, and when this phenomenon was discovered, no one in the carriage fired shots.

Wang Liang, who was in the shelter department, put down the binoculars and said to the battalion commander, "You can shout." ”

At the signal of the first battalion commander, a staff officer waiting next to him immediately picked up a microphone and shouted loudly: "Brothers of the Northwest Army in the car, listen, we are the troops of the Fourth Route Army, you have been surrounded by us, do not increase unnecessary casualties, we order you to immediately lay down your arms and surrender." Again, immediately lay down your arms and surrender. ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that the Northwest Army on the car did not respond, Wang Liang took the microphone in the hand of the staff officer and shouted at the train: "Brothers of the Northwest Army on the train, listen, we are fighting a civil war, laying down our arms are all a family, if we fight against an invading foreign enemy, not only you, but any Chinese with a conscience will fight to the death." Now, there must be many brothers in your car who are injured and in urgent need of medical treatment, and if you lay down your arms, we will be able to save them, and the sooner you surrender, the more hope you have for the wounded brothers to survive. ”

After waiting for a while, seeing that there was still no response on the train, Wang Liang said to the commander of the first battalion: "If I want the 82 mortars of your machine gun company to shoot at a position 30 meters away from the railway, are you sure that you can hit accurately?" ”

The commander of the first battalion said with a smile: "Deputy regiment commander, you can rest assured, this shooting position was measured yesterday, if it is not accurate, those shells that are usually fired in training will be eaten by them." ”

Wang Liang nodded and said, "Okay, then you order to concentrate all your 82 mortars, bombard the position 30 meters away from the railway and fire a salvo according to law, and then put some pressure on them." ”

Soon the 82 mortars of the machine gun company that received the order were ready, and the commander of the machine gun company gave an order, and 12 82 mortar shells whistled out of the gun chamber and exploded accurately 30 meters from the railway.

Wang Liang held the microphone and continued to shout: "This is a warning, give you the last three minutes, as soon as the three minutes are over, if you don't surrender, we will shell the train." Again, the shelling just now was a warning, and the next time the shelling of the train will begin. ”

After a while, there was no news in the train of the Northwest Army that Wang Liang wanted to hear, Wang Liang put down the binoculars, sighed, and was just about to give an order, when the commander of the first battalion hurriedly said: "Deputy regiment commander, let me shout again." ”

Wang Liang looked at the battalion commander and said, "I understand what you mean, but I can only give you one minute, and I can't wait any longer." ”

The commander of the first battalion picked up the microphone and shouted: "I repeat, this is the last warning, and when the time comes, it will be the moment when the shelling begins." Brethren of the Northwest Army, we are fighting a civil war again, do not be obsessed, again, this is the last warning. ”

Wang Liang raised his hand helplessly, looked at the first battalion commander, and said solemnly: "First battalion commander, you are a soldier, obey orders!" ”

The commander of the first battalion reluctantly put down the microphone, and was just about to give the order for artillery bombardment, when a white flag stretched out in the carriage of the munitions train of the Northwest Army and shook it back and forth.

The commander of the first battalion immediately picked up the microphone again and shouted: "Brothers of the Northwest Army, immediately lay down your weapons, get out of the car with your bare hands, and line up in columns. ”

In the carriage where the white flag was first raised, an officer was the first to walk out, and under his shouting back and forth, the soldiers of the Northwest Army in each carriage came out of the carriage one after another, supporting the wounded to surrender to the Fourth Route Army.

As soon as the Northwest Army stepped out of the carriage, Huang Dafu immediately led his troops to carefully inspect the carriage by carriage to prevent the Northwest Army from slipping through the net, and cleaned up the battlefield, collected weapons, and controlled the train.

At the same time, all the medical officers of the 3rd Regiment immediately treated the wounded personnel of the Northwest Army, bandaged the lightly wounded on the spot, and immediately transferred the seriously wounded to the regimental medical company.

When Sun Li came to the battlefield, one or two battalion commanders were reporting the results to Wang Liang.

Seeing Sun Li's arrival, Wang Liang reported: "Report to the regiment commander, the first battalion suffered six casualties in this battle, of which no one was slightly injured and one was seriously injured; The second battalion slightly wounded two people. The Northwest Army suffered about 200 casualties, and the detailed results are still being counted. ”

Sun Li had just received an order, and after Sun Liangcheng learned that the munitions train had been ambushed, he did not send troops to rescue him, but immediately arranged for his troops to retreat westward.
