Chapter 10 The road begins with a single step
This is a fork in the railway, or more precisely, it is a fork that is unguarded and will not be pulled again.
Because its right fork road, there is no longer any meaning of existence, it is a fork road that has long been abandoned, after too much sun and rain, those rails that have been lying silently on the sleeper, are already rusty.
Lei Zhen picked up a steel nail for fixing the rail from a piece of grass, looking at the steel nail in his hand that seemed to have gained a lot of weight because of too much rust, Lei Zhen couldn't help frowning, and with a little force on his hands, he broke the steel nail with the thickness of his index finger in half.
"What do you think?"
Looking at the rusty railway, hidden between the sand and mud and weeds, everyone subconsciously shook their heads.
"Do you know the most famous battle of Chibi in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"
Staring at the steel nail in his hand that was easily broken in two by him, Lei Zhen's voice suddenly changed, "In that battle, what attracted me the most and made me unforgettable for life was not the tacit understanding that Zhou Yu was willing to fight Huang Gai and was willing to suffer, not the magic of Zhuge Liang's grass boat borrowing arrows to summon the east wind, but the order made when Cao Ying was defeated and walked Huarong Road, when there were pursuers behind him, and when he faced a Jedi that was muddy and never suitable for cavalry traffic!" ”
"Their hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers who were defeated to the point of collapse can also cut down trees to pave roads, and finally escape, so that Zhuge Kongming, who was touted by later generations as godlike and seemed to pinch his fingers, and everything in heaven and earth was in his hands, would be dumbfounded."
Lei Zhen Huo Ran looked back and said: "Let me tell you that the reason why Zhuge Liang lost this most important battle when he won a big victory is because he is not a soldier, and he does not understand the most terrifying power that an army can burst out in the face of a desperate situation!" ”
Lei Zhen put down the gun in his hand, grabbed a two-meter-long steel pipe that he didn't know where to dismantle, pointed to the road, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me!" Isn't it just a road, if we can't even conquer such a road, how can we defeat the country of tigers and wolves, if we can't even protect a column of military vehicles, why are we still shouting there to defend our home and country?! I just want you to join forces with me, and tell those intelligence departments who think they have no last resort to tell the facts that they want to eat us in one bite and play the game of catching donkeys in the alley, that's a dream! ”
More than 100 people with different factions and different types of troops, who usually don't buy each other, whether they are the most ordinary soldiers, or officers who are used to sitting in the office and giving orders, or civilian soldiers whose hands are more precious than women's, they watched Lei Zhen and his brothers from the spy platoon stride in front of the railway, and watched these professional soldiers who were used to holding all kinds of weapons, using all kinds of methods to dismantle the steel nails that fixed the rails one by one. In the end, I don't know who took the lead, and the rest of the people walked to the end of the rear of the train, where there were the intact rails they needed to support the weight of an entire train of military vehicles.
These [***] men, from the railroad behind them, pryed off the well-maintained railroad tracks, which were still glowing blue-blue, and they cried out and gasped, and with sticks and shoulders, they carried such heavy steel rails, and installed them on the railroad that had long been deserted, and no more trains had passed, because it had lost its strategic significance, and even the military map carefully drawn by the intelligence department was not marked.
It was in the midst of the increasingly heavy wheezing and suppressed moans of the [***] people in the middle of the group, loaded with ammunition and battered that the military train, which could no longer withstand the third attack, finally started again. Its wheels, little by little, rolled slowly, slowly through the most sturdy passage in the world, perhaps the most sturdy, but definitely the most brilliant, until the entire line of military vehicles slowly drove along this passage that was dismantled and paved at the same time, into a verdant and green rolling mountain.
When these [***] people were finally able to stand up their waists, which were so sore that they were almost unconscious, that they gently wiped the sweat on their foreheads with their hands full of scratches and blood blisters, they were really stunned, and in the midst of looking at each other, suddenly happy smiles, happy smiles, and proud smiles bloomed from the faces of these [***] people at the same time. Because, until they suddenly looked back, they realized that before they knew it, they had used their own hands and the most rudimentary tools to pave a two-kilometer-long road for this train full of all kinds of weapons, sprinkled with their unapologetic sweat and a little bit of blood!
The military vehicles loaded with all kinds of tanks and combat vehicles of the 200th Division, loaded with too many shells and explosives, seem to have completely disappeared from this world!
In the face of this report, the military department was dumbfounded, and the intelligence department was also dumbfounded. They paid the price of a dive bomber being shot down and the Burma Freedom Movement Reading Force allies suffering heavy losses, and still didn't wipe out the damn military vehicle, but now it's missing!
They really can't understand how a train carrying so many military supplies can suddenly disappear, there is no no wire, even if they hide the train in the mountains, they have to get out in the end, they can't just hide those tanks in the mountains for fear of being bombed or attacked, and they don't plan to take them out and use them at all, right?
Ten days later, after receiving a report from Hong Tai, the leader of the third squad, the troops who rushed to support finally found the military vehicle that had been missing for a long time.
The one who rushed over with Hong Tai was a lieutenant colonel who took over the military vehicle.
"I am Cheng Zhi, the commander of the first battalion of the engineer regiment directly under the Fifth Army, and now I ...... according to the orders of my superiors."
Cheng Zhi's voice stopped abruptly, not only him, but all the officers and soldiers of the engineering regiment who rushed here with him widened their eyes in disbelief, and everyone was gasping for air.
They are soldiers of the engineering regiment, and what they are best at is blasting and civil engineering, but today, these tasks are to build bridges in the mountains and rivers, and they can be called professional soldiers who are experts in civil engineering, and they are really shocked.
Ten days!
In just ten days, Lei Zhen led these [***] people, using the heavy machine guns removed from the tank and combat vehicles, to form an anti-aircraft machine gun position that could launch the most powerful counterattack in the shortest possible time in the event of a surprise attack. And with the whole train as the core of protection, relying on various terrains, individual pits were dug, trenches were excavated that could accommodate soldiers to shoot in a kneeling position, and mines made of shells were laid, and three minefields that could definitely be called God's forbidden areas were laid.
In just ten days, Lei Zhen led the [***] people to camouflage the entire column of military vehicles with tree branches from beginning to end, and it is no wonder that the reconnaissance planes of this air force have passed by at low altitudes again and again, and they have not been able to get any information.
And most importantly...... It was because he knew that this column of military vehicles had been listed as the primary target of attack by the military, and that once they left this mountain, they might be bombed, so Lei Zhen simply reopened a rough but large enough trunk line for the tank and combat vehicles of the 200th Division, which were regarded as treasures, and finally directly communicated by land...... Road!
Cheng Zhi looked at the captain platoon commander who was standing in front of him, his whole body was covered with mud, and he didn't know how many scars there were on his hands, and he was repeatedly crossed, looking at the captain platoon commander behind him, those who were equally tired and emaciated, but their eyes were shining, and their faces were full of an indescribable look. He suddenly raised his head, and in a hoarse voice, he said, "Please wait." ”
After being silent for a long time, the lieutenant colonel lowered his head again, looked at everyone present, slowly raised his right hand, and saluted everyone present.
Under the leadership of Lei Zhen, the lieutenant colonel and battalion commander walked to the three graves, and in the shortest possible time, they had to pay more than just the price of sweat.
A pack of cigarettes came out of his pocket, and three were placed in front of each grave bag. In the light blue smoke billowing and drifting, the lieutenant colonel battalion commander crouched down, he looked at the wooden sign inserted in front of the grave bag, silently acquiesced to each name on it, until they were deeply engraved in his heart, he whispered: "Thank you, seeing you, I suddenly feel that we will definitely win this war." ”
Standing up straight again, the lieutenant colonel battalion commander reached out and gently patted Lei Zhen's shoulder, and said, "I'll take over here, and you can return to the team." ”
Looking at the rank of the captain platoon commander on Lei Zhen's shoulder, as well as the officers and soldiers of their special service platoon, each of whom has a submachine gun that is expensive and difficult to popularize in a large area in a short period of time, the lieutenant colonel battalion commander paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "No matter what you face, please survive, after fighting this war, we need excellent talents to re-establish our country on the ruins!" ”
Lei Zhen didn't speak, he just quietly looked at the commander in front of him with a deep appreciation in his eyes and a little worried, and silently returned a military salute.
