Chapter 5: Blood and Fire (16)

Ling Zhuxi left, left Centipede Mountain overnight, took away all the fuel and all the shells, the shells were left to the 48th Army, and the fuel drove away with twenty cars, becoming Wei Yunsong's special car, and he had to go to Wuhan to get on the train back to Guangxi, and this way, it all depended on these twenty cars. As for the car, it will be handed over to the local logistics department after arriving in Wuhan, because if you drive back to the Centipede King, I am afraid that it will only be scrapped. Seeing Qin Jishi standing aside with a pity on his face, Ling Qianxi said very seriously: "I won't use your car in vain, and I won't ask for your materials in vain, I have already said that these things will be folded into 500 acres of land, and all of them will be hung on the account of your 1056 regiment, and whoever you want to reward only needs to type the report on." Maybe if you fight the Japanese for a few more years, you will be beaten into landlords by all the people of your 1056th regiment. ”

Everyone laughed, the landlord is a good thing, and everyone is willing to do it. In the midst of laughter, the car started and gradually moved away. Mo Di slowly walked back to Centipede Mountain with a few of his subordinates, everyone was in a heavy mood, and they were all worried about the future of their troops.

Returning to the headquarters of Centipede Mountain and sitting down, everyone didn't feel sleepy at all, because of a leg injury, Gong Qingyuan, who stayed at the headquarters and didn't see Ling Qianxi off, first broke the silence and said: "Tuanzao, since the situation above is unclear, let's not take the liberty of raising some superfluous requirements, I will stay in the 1056 regiment, regardless of whether the above approves it or not, and also establish the intelligence system, not for others, but for ourselves, if the above requires the reconstruction, you can go back, I am great and take the heavy baggage team and the infirmary outside the establishment as the crown, occupy the mountain as the king, and take care of each other, and it is not that I cannot live. ”

Mo Di thinks about it, this is also the reason, it is naturally good to give the establishment above, and it is not a bad thing not to give the preparation, so why bother to force it.

"We stayed in this Centipede Mountain, it really felt like a paradise, if it weren't for Brigade Commander Ling's arrival, we wouldn't even know about the situation close at hand, let alone the situation in Hefei, Tuzhou. Without understanding, we are deaf and blind, and soon we will be beaten, not to beat others. Mo Di said: "Starting tomorrow, select people in the whole regiment, organize the reconnaissance company of the intelligence department, and everyone will be directly transferred to whoever is selected, including the baggage team." Director Gong Qingyuan was in charge of the selection work, with the assistance of Director Jiang Chunyang, and the first step was to transfer all the reconnaissance platoons of the previous Xu Ping Special Service Company to the Intelligence Department. ”

"This time the Ninth Division attacked our army, and we didn't even know about it, and this was absolutely not allowed. We must not only learn more about the situation of the Japanese army, but also know more about the situation of our own troops, and we must keep in mind that we are a unit of the 48th Army and can fight independently, not survive independently. Mo Di's words became more and more serious, and the others couldn't help but become serious: "As soon as the morning dawns, Xu Ping will go to the railway line again and find a way to overturn the next train again, this time it is estimated that the enemy will not let us get the materials smoothly, but we must achieve a goal, burn all the gasoline on the train." The 173rd Division was merged into the 48th Army, and it will take a little time to integrate, and we must let the military headquarters have this time, even if it costs a little money, to complete this task. ”

Xu Ping replied very formally: "Yes!" ”

Gong Qingyuan then said: "I will assist Company Commander Xu, and ask Company Commander Li of the artillery company and Company Commander Wei of the engineer company to help, and everyone will work together to come up with a perfect combat plan in the shortest possible time." ”

The biggest adjustment was to change the time from night to day, leaving Pukou before dawn every day, arriving at Tuzhou as soon as possible, loading and unloading goods in Tuzhou, leaving Tuzhou at dawn, arriving at Shahe an hour later, and arriving at Mingguang half an hour later. Then quickly return, back to Tuzhou around noon. In Tuzhou, a railway armed ironclad car was prepared, which was hung up as soon as the train arrived in Tuzhou, and unloaded when it returned to Tuzhou. Perhaps in the eyes of the Japanese, the unsafe section of the road from Mingguang to Tuzhou, from Tuzhou to Pukou has been completely controlled by the Japanese army, and there will be no problems.

"The more impossible it is to go wrong, the more you have to let him have problems." Mo Di said: "Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, so we should go farther." ”

Everyone unanimously agreed that the location of the train this time was too close, mainly to carry the materials conveniently, if you don't want the materials, just for the purpose of destruction, you must bring disaster to ensure your own safety.

Qin Jishi boiled a pot of boiling water and brewed a pot of excellent Huizhou Qimen black tea, and soon, a rough plan basically took shape.

Gong Qingyuan said: "There are many bridges from Pukou to Tuzhou, we can blow up the bridge, it is best to blow up the bridge when the train arrives on the bridge, as long as the train falls, immediately bombard it with mortars to ignite the fuel transported on the train." ”

"I agree, our engineer company has no problem blowing up an ordinary railway bridge, this time we got some wires back, and we can use electric detonation at a distance of 100 meters. Although it may be affected by the explosion, it should not be a problem to protect yourself. Wei Zhigao said.

"If there is a gasoline leak due to a rollover, there is no problem with the explosion of the mortar, but if there is no leakage, it is more troublesome. We didn't*, a bit uninsured. Li Baicheng said.

"If it doesn't leak, you won't make it leak!" Chen Zhengxin said: "Our assault company is responsible for covering your withdrawal from the battle. ”

"In this way, we will take an infantry cannon with us, without wheels, with a stand. Directly use the barrel to find the right thing, use high-explosive shells, I don't believe that the gasoline barrel that can't explode the devil can't be hit. Li Baicheng said: "As for the problem that the infantry artillery is too raw, which affects the flexibility of the retreat, it is great that we don't want this artillery when we retreat." ”

"Excellent! Without artillery, we can capture it again next time, but with gasoline, the Japanese offensive will begin, and the pressure from the military headquarters will appear again. Mo Di said: "Director Gong, are you sure which bridge to hit?" ”

"When I retreated from Nanjing, I walked along the railway, and I knew it in my heart, so I was relieved." Gong Qingyuan said: "Regiment leader, you just need to think about who will take the credit this time, it won't be Wei Chengqing, what other name will you change?" ”

Jiang Chunyang laughed and said: "This time it's called Liu Xiu, the platoon commander of a certain unit of the 133rd Division, that's real, not a blind fabrication." ”

"It's good, I'm afraid that Minister Kong will not only not count the merits but also go to Liu Xiu's family for trouble, and it will be miserable." Chen Zhengxin said.

Jiang Chunyang sighed and said, "Then let's use another name!" ”

The Keemun black tea was drunk, and the plan was basically determined.

Chen Zhengxin was in charge of the entire attack, and his assault company was also fully involved in the plan, responsible for fighting with the Japanese troops in the escort car and covering the retreat of other units. A squad of the artillery company dismantled a Type 92 infantry gun, reduced the guards and iron wheels, brought enough shells, and was responsible for setting the train on fire. The engineer company was also a squad and was responsible for explosives. Liu Qinglong took six members of the intelligence department's guard team as guides, brought a walkie-talkie, and Zhao Guolong took the police to arrange a squad to set up a relay station in the area of Langya Mountain, and always maintained contact with the regiment headquarters.

Set out at dawn and strive to get to the ambush site as soon as possible and complete the combat mission as soon as possible.

Yesterday it was opened for one day, and today it was opened for another day, the Japanese army's gasoline was replenished, and the 9th Division resumed its offensive. In today's attack, the Japanese army did not take too much advantage, and the large number of 92 infantry artillery shells transported from the 1056th Regiment greatly increased the artillery density of the 48th Army, and even destroyed six Type 92 tanks, blocking the Japanese army stubbornly. When it was almost dark, Wang Zanbin personally sent a telegram to the 1056 regiment: Today's success depends on Tianzong and Zuocai (Wang Zanbin's character). This way of signing obviously no longer regards Mo Di as a subordinate, but puts him in an equal position with himself. Mo Di hurriedly called back: Congratulations to the chief for his might.

These things had nothing to do with Chen Zhengxin, who had been on a journey for a day, and when the sun went down, they came to the predetermined place, and with the help of the twilight in the twilight, they completed all the preparations. This is a small river ditch, because there is no spring yet, only shallow water, the stone pier under the iron bridge, exposed on the mud ground, can be walked to the past, to add a lot of convenience to the construction. The brothers on the sapper side placed all the 200 catties* on the stone pier at the junction with the iron beams, and the two electric wires extended into the grass by the river, and built a simple bunker with sandbags to prevent the debris from the explosion from injuring the blasters. The work of the blaster is the most dangerous, because the power lines are too short, and they are not only in the danger zone of explosion, but also in the area that may be involved after the train has crashed off the bridge. According to Chen Zhengxin, as long as the lives of the blasters are saved, they dare to guarantee that there will be no casualties today. In order to make Chen Zhengxin's wish come true, the engineer brothers directly removed a dozen sleepers on the railway, reinforcing the bunker and making it a strong fortress made of sleepers.

As it turned out, the role of the sleepers was very great, and when the headlights of the train crossed the pre-dawn darkness and drove from a distance, all the people hung their hearts in their throats for the soldiers who started the explosion, closer, closer, closer and closer, and the moment the locomotive drove up the bridge, the explosion occurred.

The huge explosion not only tore the iron bridge to pieces in an instant, but also lifted the train on the bridge more than three meters high, threw it to the side of the bridge, and rushed headlong to the bunker where the blaster was hiding.

"It's over!" Chen Zheng's confidence sank.

The infantry guns of the artillery company aimed at the second carriage was a cannon, and it did not catch fire, and a lot of rice was blown up, and it was another cannon aimed at the third carriage, which blew up a few pieces of clothing, and another cannon came from the fourth carriage, which was still rice. At this time, the devil who escorted the car on the eighth carriage climbed out of the overturned carriage, and Chen Zhengxin shouted: "Fight!" All the crooked handles and the 38 big covers spewed fire at the same time, sweeping towards the devils together.

The muzzle of the infantry gun moved to the fifth carriage, and the shell exploded in the carriage, which provoked a hornet's nest, and there was a small-scale explosion in the carriage, followed by a violent sound of martyrdom, and the bullet shrapnel flew all over the sky.

The explosion caused a raging fire, which soon spread to the sixth carriage. In the firelight, I clearly saw the terrifying expressions of the Japanese beside the eighth carriage, which was a kind of apocalyptic expression, an inevitable despair.

An oil drum was blown into the sky and exploded in the high night sky, like a giant firework, reflecting the light far away.

"Run!" Chen Zhengxin screamed wildly, took the lead and ran, all the people felt the danger of this explosion, turned around and ran backwards together, ran out more than 200 meters, only to turn their heads, and found that the second half of the train was surrounded by fire, and the huge explosion twisted the back carriages into twists. The Japanese around the eighth carriage were burned into roast pigs by the sudden flames.

"Report to the regimental headquarters, complete the task, sacrifice one person, no one is injured." Chen Zhengxin said.

"Who died!" A voice came from behind, and everyone turned their heads to see that it was the soldier who had detonated. He smiled and told everyone that those sleepers saved him, and the locomotive was pressing on his head, and a small space was erected with a few sleepers, and he watched the whole process of shelling and explosion in that space, which was quite exciting.

Chen Zhengxin laughed and said: "A big victory, dog's day, leave!" ”
