The importance of the Zhengtai Railway was self-evident to the Japanese army, so the Japanese army still did not relax its patrols along the railway line to prevent the railway from being sabotaged.

The target of this attack was Qiao Youhua in the area of Dahe Town, west of Shimen (today's Shijiazhuang) and east of Zhengding, which was exactly in the middle of the two stations.

In September, the endless sorghum fields that ripened late this year were finally ripe, and as far as the eye could see, they were golden and dazzling in the sunlight.

Ten miles west of Dahe Town, in a sorghum field near the railway, Qiao Youhua had already dismounted and was ambushing here with most of the task force, while Liu Yidao's reconnaissance platoon scattered out to reconnoiter the surrounding situation.

Ma Biao and more than a dozen task forces from miners were planting explosives on the railway in a nervous and orderly manner, and a figure walked through the dense sorghum bushes and came to Qiao Youhua's side, not Liu Yidao and who else came.

"Captain, figure it out, there is a temporary small station in this Dahe Town, which can be used for the train to stop for emergency to add water and coal, according to the nearby villagers, there are more than a dozen devils and forty or fifty-two devils in the town, they have built several bunkers near the station, the monkeys they want to take people down, but I stopped them, and now the monkeys are still staring over there with most of the brothers in the reconnaissance platoon."

Qiao Youhua patted Liu Yidao's shoulder and said: "Good job, although the number of Japanese puppet troops is not much, but the bunker is a fortification that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, you go back immediately and let the monkeys retreat, we will set up an ambush five miles away, as soon as the explosion sounds, the devils and puppet troops at the station will definitely send people to check."

Kill the Japanese puppet army first, then concentrate on attacking the station, and finally blow up the station, and strive to destroy the railway with the greatest strength and the greatest distance! ”

"Yes." Liu Yidao answered, turned around and quickly drilled into the dense sorghum field.

Qiao Youhua lit a cigarette and smoked, and it didn't take long for Ma Biao and the others to finally place the explosives and retreat.

"How?" Qiao Youhua smoked his cigarette.

"Don't worry, it's enough to blow up this section of the railway beyond recognition!" Ma Biao patted his chest and said.

"Then let's explode, the bigger the movement, the better, so that the devils and puppet soldiers at Dahe Station can be fooled, after the explosion, immediately advance to the direction of Dahe Town, there is a hilly area with quite high terrain, and we will set up an ambush there." After Qiao Youhua finished speaking, he took the lead in getting up and evacuating.

Jiang Haidong and Zhang Yunshan led the soldiers and followed him quickly towards the destination, leaving only Ma Biao and a dozen other demomen.

It wasn't until the troops were far away that Ma Biao lit the fuse, and then quickly withdrew with a dozen demomen.

Before they could withdraw far, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly sounded on the section of the railway, and when they looked back, they saw the red light rising with thick smoke, and in the firelight, it was vaguely seen that many rails and sleepers flew into the sky.

Ma Biao, who was not far away, could even feel the ground trembling with the explosion a few times under their feet, and the smoke and fire generated by such a loud explosion could be clearly seen and heard for more than ten miles.

Cao Cao, a Japanese soldier at Dahe Station ten miles away, was the first to be alarmed, and he hurriedly climbed to the top of the only turret, holding a telescope to follow the prestige.

Through the telescope, you can see the billowing smoke rising into the sky.

"Yagaya Road, Kamei, take someone over there immediately to see what's going on." The devil Cao Chang didn't dare to be careless, because his class was responsible for the safety of all the railways within the town, and if something went wrong, he wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.

The devil who called the ghost well was a military commander, and when he got the order, he hurriedly bowed his head and Hai Yi answered, and then took four or five devil soldiers and more than 20 puppet soldiers from several pillboxes and turrets to drill out of several pillboxes and turrets, and hurriedly ran towards the place of the incident.

On both sides of a high ground five miles away, Qiao Youhua with a guard platoon, the first platoon, and the second platoon had already arrived, and Liu Yidao also came to meet with a reconnaissance platoon.

The four platoons divided into two lines and set up ambushes on both sides of the high ground, all ten light machine guns were set up, and the riflemen also pushed their bullets up to the pond, ready for battle.

It didn't take long for Jiang Haidong to say loudly: "Captain, the devil and the puppet army are here, about twenty or thirty people, and the number of puppet soldiers accounts for most of them." ”

Liu Yidao excitedly asked Qiao Youhua and said: "Captain, just a few devils and two devils, or you can save bullets, the brothers of my reconnaissance platoon rushed up and saw the bayonet red, and they fought quickly, so that none of them could escape!" ”

Qiao Youhua frowned, and said patiently: "A knife, I appreciate your skill and courage, but there are some truths you have to understand, if you can use bullets to destroy the enemy, you will strive to destroy the enemy with bullets, fighting bayonets is just a helpless move when ammunition is low, modern warfare is different from cold weapon warfare."

Being able to use weapons as much as possible with weapons and achieve the greatest victory at the minimum cost is the level that a commander should have, and now that we have enough ammunition, there is no need to rush up and meet the devil's bayonets, understand? ”

In fact, Qiao Youhua also has another layer of consideration, that is, the longest soldier under his command is only one or two months, although he has experienced several battles with the Japanese puppet army and bandits.

In order to teach them to master shooting and form combat effectiveness, they have not been taught the skills of white-knuckle combat at all in the past two months, nor have they been trained intensively in this regard.

Therefore, it would be absolutely unwise for them to play white-knuckle combat with Japanese soldiers who were all trained in regular stabbing training.

In fact, the Eighth Route Army in history was not very keen on white-knuckle warfare, especially those elites who survived the 25,000-mile Long March, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, if it was not for the lack of ammunition, the commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army were reluctant to use these elites to play white-knuckle battles with devils with a battle loss ratio of almost 1 to 1 or even 1 to 3.

The Chinese army fights with the devils with bayonets, in most cases they run out of ammunition, or the last tactic adopted to save ammunition, if they have enough ammunition and can kill the enemy with only bullets, who would be stupid enough to take turns to fight with the devils armed to the teeth in a white-knuckle battle?

After all, it is no longer the era of cold weapons, but the era of modern warfare in which all kinds of thermal weapons and rapid-fire weapons have sprung out.

In Qiao Youhua's eyes, the lives of his soldiers were originally worth a few bullets, and they would definitely not put the cart before the horse.

Liu Yidao nodded as if he didn't understand, and took out his double guns: "I understand, captain, just take a look!" ”

In a short time, the twenty or thirty Japanese puppet soldiers who were in a hurry to check the scene of the explosion got into the ambush circle of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force.

Qiao Youhua held a cigarette in his mouth, picked up a 38 big cover and aimed at the leading devil chief, decisively pulled the trigger, snapped, and a gunshot rang out, and the head of the devil captain named Kamei was rotated at a high speed 6. A 5MM rifle bullet penetrates, and the bullet enters through its right temple and exits through its left side.

The bullet shattered his brain tissue in an instant, killing him, and Kamei fell to the ground.

The gunfire was an order, Liu Yidao, Jiang Haidong, Ma Biao and Zhang Yunshan they opened fire one after another, and the gunfire was loud for a while.
