Chapter Thirty-Five: The Tragic Hero Volleys the Gas Bomb

Hong Min and the rest of the team saw with their own eyes the heroic behavior of the team members who desperately blew up the devil's armored car, and they all boiled with blood and shot desperately at the devils who rushed up like a tide. Unfortunately, the enemy's firepower was too fierce, especially the armored vehicle that fired at close range, which posed the greatest threat to the Einsatzgruppen, and constantly had team members shot by it and fell under its powerful firepower.

Another team member jumped out of cover and rolled towards the armored vehicle. The enemy concentrated their fire on him, and he rolled all the way, and when he rolled in front of the enemy's armored vehicle, he was shot in the head and fell next to the comrade who had died earlier.

There were only three people left on the battlefield, and everyone was wounded, including Hong Min. After repulsing another charge from the enemy, they looked at the enemy retreating down the hill and smiled at each other with great satisfaction.

The three of them gathered all the grenades on the battlefield together, most of which were tied to their bodies. They opened the lid of the grenade, pulled out all the strings inside, and strung them together with threads. At this time, death no longer had any fear and fear for them, they stopped so many devils, and after holding on for so long, the corpses of devils had spread all over the hillside, and they died without regrets.

Commander Gao, they should have gone far, but unfortunately they can't catch up with them, and they can no longer fight side by side with the brethren of the Einsatzgruppen until they completely destroy the devils. Although it is a bit regrettable that the entire team has to die here, but everyone is enough, so that so many Oriental devils can't return home, leaving their souls here at the iron gate, so that they will always be lonely ghosts in a foreign land, wandering around, so that we are also content.

Hong Min and the three of them took advantage of the gap between the devils and the devil to lie in the bunker and rest for a while, they wanted to enjoy this short period of peace.

Hong Min's hometown is only a few dozen miles away from the battlefield, and since he participated in the Battle of Wanjialing, he has followed Xiao Xiong everywhere to fight devils, and has never returned home. A few times, I passed not far from home, but I didn't have a chance to go home. He suddenly felt homesick, thinking about his elderly father and mother, thinking about his parents-in-law at home, and thinking of the glutinous rice cakes made by his mother.

Thinking about putting the glutinous rice cake on the red-hot charcoal fire and roasting it golden yellow, especially during the Chinese New Year, when my mother embedded a few stars of bacon in the glutinous rice cake that their brothers were about to roast and then roasted it, the aroma of the bacon mixed with the glutinous rice was too wonderful and tempting. The scent seemed to be smelled by itself.

"It smells so good!" He couldn't help but speak softly.

"What's so fragrant? Leader. ”

"The bacon glutinous rice cake is so fragrant and fragrant, I really want to eat a piece." Hong Min muttered.

"Boom" "Boom" The devil's shells flew over again, exploding continuously on the hillside behind the three people. interrupted the conversation between Hong Min and the three.

The devils have started to attack again, and this may be the last time Hong Min and them will fight back. The three of them had already placed all the guns and ammunition on the position in front of the bunker, the bullets were loaded, and the grenades were all pulled out of the strings.

The devils got closer and closer, and the three of them shot all the bullets at the enemy fiercely, and the grenades continued to explode in the middle of the devils, and a large number of devils died in front of them, but the devils behind continued to pour up the mountain.

After using up all the bullets, they threw the last grenade at the devil, and Hong Min made a bomb gesture by pointing at the devil's armored car. Suddenly, the three men jumped out of cover in turn and rolled down the hill.

The first member rolled into the crowd of devils, and he pulled the grenades on his body, and all the grenades exploded, and a large group of devils fell. Before the devils in the back could recover from their fright, the second team member rolled between them again, and the grenades exploded one after another.

The smoke from the two explosions was still filling, and Hong Min rolled through the smoke of the explosions. He finally came to the side of the two fallen warriors. As soon as he stood up, a devil spotted him and shot at him, he was shot in the chest and fell on top of his comrades. While he still had the last bit of consciousness, he pulled all the grenades tied to his sacrificed comrades and his own body, and he used the last bit of strength of his body to roll under the devil's armored car.

With a loud "boom", the devil's armored car was blown apart and flew into the air, and the devils around the car were also blown down in a large area, and the stumps and broken arms flew everywhere. After the explosion, the battlefield that had just been fiercely fought suddenly became as silent as death.

The smoke from the explosion gradually cleared with the wind, and the hill was covered with craters from shells. The devils who occupied the hill stared blankly at the remains of dozens of Operators who died in the bunker, all of them facing the bottom of the mountain, and fought to the last moment of their lives. They turned their heads and looked at the corpses of the soldiers who were lying on the hillside, and they all shuddered.

For several days in a row, the Nanxun railway and highway leading to Nanchang were attacked by guerrillas, and several important railway and highway bridges were damaged.

Bridges such as the Shahe Saihu Bridge on the Nanxun Railway, the Yangliujin Bridge in Yongxiu and some small bridges and culverts were damaged, and the trains on the Nanxun Railway were forced to stop running. The Zhanggongdu Bridge in Yongxiu and Wanjiabu Bridge in Anyi County were all blown up. As a result, the land passage from Nanchang to Jiujiang was blocked.

This is a heavy blow to the devils who are dispatching troops and transferring war readiness materials to central and northwestern Jiangxi. Therefore, the headquarters of the 11th Army and the 33rd and 34th divisions of the Devil's Army ordered Commander Yamamoto of the Urban Defense Headquarters stationed in Jiujiang to immediately launch an operation to exterminate the anti-Japanese guerrillas who were frequently engaged in sabotage activities in the rear of the Japanese army, to dredge all lines of communication as soon as possible, and to ensure the smooth transportation of personnel and materials. Otherwise, the fighter plane will be delayed and he will have to be brought before a military court for investigation.

Commander Yamamoto, who was reprimanded by his superiors, was so angry that he immediately ordered the garrison of devils stationed in the occupied area of northern Jiangxi to immediately launch a clean-up operation. Therefore, the occupied areas in northern Jiangxi are shrouded in a white terror, from towns to villages, devils break into people's houses and arrest people at will, day and night. Some were described as anti-Japanese activists, while others were arrested to help the devils repair damaged railways and roads. Houses on both sides of the railway and highway were forcibly demolished, and at the same time, the devils built many watchtowers and bunkers along the railway and road.

The devils frantically burned, killed, looted and plundered the occupied areas in northern Jiangxi, with the aim of destroying the spirit and will of the people in the occupied areas to resist the enemy's aggression. The second is to make strategic preparations for the next large-scale attack on Luo Zhuoying's Ninth War Zone of the National Political Axe.

Xiao Xiong: They returned to Jiujiang three days after Gao Qixing led a team to blow up the Cyberjaya Lake Railway Bridge. Originally, after Xiao Xiong and the others attacked the two pseudo-county magistrates who shot and killed the devils in Xingzi County, the enemy searched them closely everywhere. Before this rumor had passed, Gao Qixing led the Einsatzgruppen and guerrillas from all over the country to launch a major war of sabotage on the railway and highway lines. The devils are like frightened birds, setting up card checks everywhere to search for all suspicious anti-Japanese elements.

There was no way, Xiao Xiong led the team to walk at night, and did not dare to take a slightly larger road. Along the way, they ate and slept in the open, and marched in deserted places. After a few days, it was not easy to return to the station in Jiujiang.

Xiao Xiong first gave a detailed introduction to this planetary operation, and then asked about this sabotage operation.

Unexpectedly, the first sentence of Gao Qixing's answer was;

"Hong Min sacrificed."

"What? Hong Min is dead? Xiao Xiong's whole body trembled violently, and he asked sadly:

"How did he die?"

"He led a small squadron of their squadron to stop the enemy at the Iron Gate, and all of them died." Gao Qixing choked up and gave a detailed account of the battle.

After listening to Gao Qixing's report, Xiao Xiong was very sad and was speechless for a long time. Hong Min is a life-and-death comrade-in-arms of Zhang Gushan who is bloodied with him, and he is his own brother.

"Luo Pingfan is also dead." Gao Qixing said again.

"He's dead? How did he die? Xiao Xiong came back from his grief and asked in surprise.

Gao Qixing reported to Xiao Xiong how Luo Pingfan discovered the devil's poison gas bomb and all the original reasons for the Einsatzgruppen to launch the sabotage operation.

Xiao Xiong was silent for a while, and muttered:

"He died well, he died well. He finally gave everyone an explanation for himself. ”

"According to our insider report at the police station, Luo Pingfan first killed a devil and was about to puncture all the tires of the devil's car transporting poison gas bombs. Later, he was found by the devil, he was injured, and before he died, the fuel tank of the devil's car exploded, and several cars were burned. A total of six devils died in that explosion. ”

"That's good, Hu Zhaodi and her mother no longer need to keep their heads down. Whoever is in a hurry to tell them about this now, I will tell them in due course. Xiao Xiong continued:

"Now, are the devil's gas bombs still in the warehouse at the docks?"

"We have people near the dock who are watching the movement there all night, and there are also our people among the workers on the dock. The gas bombs should still be in the warehouse. Gao Qixing replied very confidently.

"Was the situation of these gas bombs reported to the theater command?"

"It's been reported. The command ordered us to destroy it on the spot as soon as possible and never let these dangerous things appear on the battlefield. That would bring great danger to our front-line troops, and even affect the course of the war. Therefore, after estimating that the enemy wanted to transport the gas bombs to the front line as soon as possible, we immediately notified the troops to launch a full-scale sabotage attack on the enemy's lines of communication, preventing the devil's plan to deliver them, so the enemy's gas bombs should still be in the dock warehouse. ”

Xiao Xiong pondered for a moment and said:

"We should continue to strengthen the surveillance of these poison gas bombs to ensure that they remain in Jiujiang, and then we will try to destroy them." However, the gas bomb can only be destroyed in the fire or water, and it must not be allowed to leak in the city, otherwise it will injure a large number of innocent people. Xiao Xiong and everyone began to plan how to destroy these harmful and troublesome poison gas bombs.

After overnight emergency repairs, at the end of early November, the Nanxun railway and highway were basically open to traffic. The devil's passage in northern Jiangxi has been opened again.

Although Xiao Xiong and the others were very nervous about this operation, they also made very strict arrangements. They have made a variety of preparations at stations along the line, along the railways and highways, in case of the unexpected. In short, their ultimate goal is to destroy these gas bombs at all costs.

On the evening of November 10, information was received that the poison gas bombs placed by the devils in the dock warehouse began to be loaded into cars. Xiao Xiong immediately arranged people to closely follow and monitor.

Under strict protection, the devil's car drove into Jiujiang Railway Station and drove all the way to the train car parked on the platform. This time, the devils did not let the Chinese workers carry them, probably to let the devil soldiers carry the boxes. Due to the distance, the rangers on surveillance could not see the shipment clearly.

Soon after, several cars carrying poison gas bombs, protected by several motorcycles, drove into the railway yard warehouse, and somehow loaded something onto the cars. Then, drive straight out of the city.

Now there is a problem for Xiao Xiong and them, whether the devil transports this batch of things by rail or road? I can't care so much about it. He immediately ordered Xiong Qiang, who was on standby near the dark mountain, to give an order, mobilize a team, and prepare to intercept it on the road.

At about twelve o'clock in the evening, led by an armored car, the devil's train also left Jiujiang Station. The intelligence officers immediately reported the devil's actions to Xiao Xiong. Xiao Xiong immediately sent a telegram to Gao Qixing, who was on standby near Niutou Mountain in Shahe, and issued an operational order to prepare to receive the enemy's interception train.
