Zhengtai Railway, is the earliest railway in Shanxi Province, originally planned to be repaired from Liulinbao in Zhengding, Hebei Province to Taiyuan, so it was named Zhengtai Railway. Later, due to the difficulty of building bridges through the Hutuo River, the line was built from Shijiazhuang, so it is also called the Shitai Railway.

For the occupying Japanese army, this railway, which could lead directly to North China, was undoubtedly the main transportation artery for them to plunder Shanxi's resources. In order to ensure the safety of this railway, the Japanese army also sent a special road protection force to patrol along the railway.

Even if you know that it is not easy to build this railway, it can become a passage for the Japanese army to plunder materials. He Zhengdao also issued an order to blast, so that the railway must fall into a temporary interruption.

According to He Zhengdao's prediction, a large number of machinery and materials in Taiyuan Arsenal should be relocated. Transportation by car is basically unrealistic. Then the railroad became the most likely transportation channel for the Japanese army.

At present, the railway line from Taiyuan to Shijiazhuang in Shanxi has not been completed. That means that the little devils want to transport the equipment and materials of the Taiyuan Arsenal by rail, and the Zhengtai Railway is their only choice.

Making this judgment, He Zhengdao sent a special combat team to infiltrate here in advance to carry out reconnaissance, waiting for him to give the order to blast the railway at any time. This time, there is also a reason why the special combat team should not bomb too much.

According to the information fed back by the scouts who infiltrated Taiyuan City, it will take about a week for the Japanese troops who are currently disassembling and assembling these machines in Taiyuan City to disassemble and assemble the industrial equipment in Taiyuan City.

If the railroad was not blown up, He Zhengdao was worried that the Japanese army would transport these supplies in batches. If the railroad is blown up, it can be repaired in about a week. Then the Japanese army is quite likely. These supplies are transported in the same train.

It is precisely because of this consideration that He Zhengdao issued such instructions. If you fry too much at once. It is estimated that the little devil will think of other ways to transport this batch of materials away. This means: Things exceeded He Zhengdao's expectations!

As Zhu Yue led the other special combat team members to the Jingcheng Coal Mine, a special combat detachment that carried out blasting and blocking arrived on the railway line in the dark. As things stand, the Japanese seem to be at ease with the railway.

The reason is simple, they attacked Taiyuan from North China, and the resistance in the areas under their control was pitiful. Even so, the Japanese army would send troops to patrol the railway line every day to ensure the safety of passing trains.

Arrive at the railway line where the blasting device has been buried in advance. Looking at the still quiet railway line, the special operations detachment that carried out the blasting did not take action immediately. Rather, they scrutinized the blasting device they had buried earlier on the railway.

According to Ho Zhengdao's order, different blasting routes were selected to carry out blasting. As for the remaining places that will not be detonated for the time being, the Saber Special Operations Team believes that the buried explosives will not be wasted. This railway will eventually be destroyed.

All the special combat team members lurked in their respective ambush and blasting areas, quietly waiting for the time to start the explosion. For each special combat member, they have a watch or pocket watch issued by Ho Zhengdao.

This kind of thing. For many commanders of the Eighth Route Army, there may not be. But the special combat team members are almost one piece of hand. There is only one purpose, so that they can accurately grasp the time when performing tasks.

Take advantage of the waiting time. Zhu Yue led the special combat team members into the Jingcheng Coal Mine, which was still lit up. Looking at the late night, there are still workers working in the mine. The special combat team members also knew that the little devils did not treat these prisoners of war as human beings at all.

With them in this Battle of Taiyuan. Numerous prisoners of war were captured. Many of the prisoners of war who were in good health were sent to various factories and mines that needed strong labor. Specialized in dangerous and heavy work for the Japanese army.

Seeing that there was still half an hour left before the agreed blasting time. Zhu Yue said: "The first assault team, what you have to do." It was here that the Japanese troops, when they went to the railway line to check the situation, took control of the heavy machine-gun positions in their mines.

The other two squads, you infiltrate directly into the mine from the railroad tracks. Remember, before the little devils in the mining area have not divided their troops to go out, remember not to act at will. No guns are allowed unless there are special circumstances, understand? ”

'Yes, Squad Leader! ’

'Three squads with me, let's get moving!' ’

With the issuance of the combat order, the special combat personnel of the third detachment were divided into three combat teams and still sneaked into the night. For them, after the baptism of the Suiyuan campaign, everyone is already very experienced in special operations.

For half an hour, the mining area still seemed quiet. Just when he arrived at the scheduled time, the little devil who stayed in the mining area soon heard a loud noise in the distance. Even after this loud bang, explosions were heard in several places in a row.

The captain of the Japanese infantry brigade stationed at the Jingcheng Coal Mine heard the report of the observation post in the mining area, stood on the guard tower and looked at it for a while and said: "Baga, that is the direction of our railway, and someone has sabotaged our railway. Damn it! ”

For many Japanese troops who invaded China, everything in the occupied areas was theirs. And this railway, which the Qing court spent a lot of money to build, is theirs in the eyes of the little devils. Now that the railway has been bombed, they are naturally distressed.

Most importantly, once the railroad is destroyed, the coal mines they dig will also not be able to be transported to their occupied areas. This was undoubtedly a very difficult thing for the Japanese troops stationed in Jingcheng to accept.

'Inform the 1st and 3rd squadrons to assemble, and there is also a machine gun squadron, and a few squads will be sent with me to check for the place where the explosion has occurred. The rest of the troops remained in the mining area. If we can't get the coal out, we'll all be punished. ’

'Hey! ’

The officer, who was following the captain of the Japanese army, quickly blew the whistle for an emergency assembly. Many Japanese soldiers who did not have a guard mission also quickly assembled in the playground of the mining area. Seeing this scene, many prisoners of war felt a little curious.

Just as the captain of the Japanese army was about to go to check the scene, the Japanese garrison officer in Jingcheng also received a report of an explosion on the railway line. The nearest Jingcheng garrison brigade dispatched troops to check the situation.

Knowing that the captain of the Japanese army in the coal mine was already preparing to go, the garrison officer was also very satisfied: "Yo Xi, after finding out the situation, let's see who is destroying our railway." Find them out, dead and dead! ”

'Hey! ’

After receiving the call and giving an order, the commander of the Japanese infantry brigade, who was unwilling to stay in the coal mine every day, quickly took his soldiers and took a small train to inspect the railway, and quickly checked in the direction of the railway where the explosion came.

For this kind of small train, which can be equipped with machine guns in the carriage, it is not a railway armored car of the Japanese army. But if it is modified like this, driving out will also increase their safety factor for the Japanese army, and make the sneak attackers suffer.

Most importantly, the speed of this small train is still good compared to walking to the inspection. Watching the little train leave, the special operations team that infiltrated the mining area soon launched an operation to wipe out the little devils.

The first thing the special combat team did was to start a coal mine warehouse in a relatively remote location. Here, many prisoners of war are still guarded by little devils with guns without any protection, constantly piling up the excavated coal to the freight yard.

The special combat team members who were responsible for the clearance task looked at the little devils wandering around the cargo yard and took a crawling posture to touch the side of the cargo. And the few little devils with guns didn't know that there were people under the dark railroad tracks.

With the last of the special operators, arrive at the area of attack. The leader of the special operations squad who commanded the battle, grasped the members of the team with one hand, and immediately dodged and pulled the trigger of the bow and crossbow in his hand. These little devils guarding the yard soon fell to the ground one by one.

The prisoners of war who were pushing the goods, looking at the special combat team members who turned over to the freight yard in the pitch black on their chests, all looked like ghosts. Wait until the special operators quickly obliterate the little devil and remove his clothes and weapons, and push the body directly under the railroad tracks.

After everything was done, the special combat team members who had already controlled the safety of the freight yard immediately said: "Brothers have suffered! We are the Eighth Route Army, and we have been ordered to come and rescue you tonight. It's just that you still need to stay here for a while.

Because there aren't many of us coming, I need you to name your unit number and position now. When we attack the mines, you'll need to defend here, and then we'll all leave together. ”

After a quick explanation of the situation, soon a soldier from the Northeast Army said with excitement on his face: "We of the Second Army and the First Division of the Northeast Army, I have seen your people from the Eighth Route Army in Xi'an before, and I have also seen your Commander He!" ”

Hearing this, the special combat team members also quickly said: "Okay, brothers of the Northeast Army! I have wronged you, and quickly put on this devil skin, you will all use their weapons, right? ”

'Yes, little devil 38 big cover, we will all use it!' ’

'Okay, then this squad leader of the Northeast Army will serve as your temporary commander. I'll send a member of the team to work with you to defend this area. For the rest of you who don't have weapons for the time being, please keep quiet and don't alarm the little devils. ’

The officers and men of the Northeast who got the weapons naturally looked very happy. But other prisoners of war who do not belong to the Northeast Army will not refuse such an arrangement. For them, they're thankful they got out of here alive.

In addition to solving the little devil guards in the freight yard, a special combat team member is left to be responsible for management and organization. The rest of the special operators quickly disappeared on the road leading to the mine under the stunned eyes of these rescued prisoners of war.

At the same time, the remaining two special combat soldiers also began to kill silently. The number of rescued prisoners of war is increasing, and the number of little devils in the mining area is naturally decreasing.

In the face of this group of special combat members of the Eighth Route Army who killed little devils and slaughtered chickens, many of the rescued prisoners of war felt incredible. When did these little devils, who seemed extremely fierce to them, be dealt with so easily by the Eighth Route Army?

Are these Eighth Route Army too strong? Or are they too weak? Or are these little devils in the mining area too bad? (To be continued.) )
