At the regimental headquarters of the new regiment in Sanquan Town, every move of the Japanese army on the railway did not escape the eyes of the Eighth Route Army.

Wang Ping, who already regarded the Tongpu Railway as a new source of money and material equipment, the first thing he did when he entered the headquarters every day was to ask what was happening on the Tongpu Railway.

This morning was no exception.

The staff officer on duty was just about to shake his head and say no, but the chief of staff, Zhong Chenggong, rushed in in a hurry.

"Commander, there is an accident on the Tongpu Railway......"

"This is the intelligence that the reconnaissance unit has just sent back, the Japanese army has strengthened the strength and firepower of the railway garrison, and has also sent troops and armored trains to patrol the railway non-stop!"

"Also, the forests and shrubs within two hundred meters around the railway line have been cleaned up by the puppet army sent by the devils, and some commanding heights have also been set up by the devils to guard the railway line, staring at the railway line condescendingly, as long as we are close to the railway line, we will definitely be alerted by them in advance!"

Huang Yuanqiang, the political commissar who arrived later, happened to hear the introduction of the chief of staff.

Then his brows wrinkled into a big Sichuan character, and then he analyzed with a solemn face: "The devil is-for-tat, don't give us a chance to start on the railway!" ”

"Commander, as soon as the devil arranges like this, it will be difficult for us to do anything on the railway line again, or even impossible!"

The chief of staff's brows also furrowed: "Regiment commander, I agree with the political commissar's analysis, this time our method of robbing the devil army column will definitely not be used again in the future!" ”

"Even if we succeed in maneuvering on the railway line, I remember you saying that as long as the Devil Army Train is separated from the armored train in front and behind it by a sufficient distance of cars, the Army Train will not derail and roll over. When the time comes, the firepower points and guard units arranged by the devils on the military column alone will be enough for us to have a headache! ”

What Huang Yuanqiang and Xiong Changhe didn't expect was that Wang Ping not only did not show any worried expression on his face, but a smile flashed on his face, full of confidence.

Huang Yuanqiang hurriedly reminded: "Regiment commander, don't forget, you promised the commander that you would never allow a single military train of devils to pass through the Tongpu Railway within our base area, but if it doesn't work, we will blow up the railway and completely interrupt the Tongpu Line!" ”

"Fried!" Wang Ping suddenly spoke.

The chief of staff, who was taken aback, hurriedly reacted: "I'll arrange it, we have prepared a total of three bombing points, and detonate them together, which can destroy at least a two-hundred-meter-long railway, which is enough for the little devil to repair for a while!" ”

"Wait a minute, don't rush yet!" Wang Ping hurriedly stopped Zhong Chenggong, who wanted to leave, and then added.

"If you want to bomb it, it's not to bomb it now, but to wait for the devil army to come and blow it up together, and then rob the little devil of a military train, maybe you can harvest another three million catties of grain!"

Zhong Chenggong hurriedly stopped, and replied with a light in his eyes: "Good way!" ”

"When the devil army reaches the tipping point, we suddenly detonate the army column, they have nowhere to hide, and they will definitely derail and roll over again. When the time comes, we will be able to take down the army of devils again. Regiment commander, which unit will we let go on this operation! ”

Wang Ping didn't answer, but stared at Zhong Chenggong and asked, "You just said that the devil has increased the garrison and firepower of the garrison along the railway, and has also sent a large number of troops and armored trains to patrol along the railway!" ”

"Yes, regiment commander, this information has been repeatedly confirmed by the reconnaissance unit, and there must be no problem!" Zhong Chenggong affirmed.

Wang Ping hesitated for a moment and replied: "In this case, things will be difficult to do!" ”

"It's the same as last time, if you send a few people over, it's definitely not going to work. At least two main battalions must be dispatched to kill the Japanese puppet army near the military column after the military train derails and rolls over, and the people covering us move the materials transported by the air force train! ”

"In this way, let the first battalion stay behind, and the second, third, and fourth battalions will dispatch two infantry companies, a heavy machine gun platoon, an infantry artillery platoon, plus a mortar company, a heavy machine gun company, a guard company, and an engineer platoon directly under the regiment headquarters, and they should be able to take down the little devil army!"

Zhong Chenggong immediately raised his worries: "Regiment commander, so many troops are mobilized at one time, and there are three infantry artillery platoons and six infantry guns, even if the troops are transferred at night, they can't escape the eyes of the little devils, isn't this telling the little devils that we want to rob their military columns?" ”

"I just want the little devil to know!" Wang Ping replied in surprise.

"The first two times we were sneaky in the army, this time I'm going to do the other way around, and I'm going to rob it openly!"

At the headquarters of the Japanese brigade in Linfen City, with the arrival of a telegram from the front headquarters, Major General Matsumoto's nerves tensed again.

"Chief of Staff, this time the front army has raised a total of four million catties of grain, which is intended to be sent to the front line at one time, and now it has begun to be loaded, and it is planned to leave at five o'clock in the morning after tomorrow. Not surprisingly, they will pass through the section of the railway in the control area of the new regiment at two o'clock in the afternoon, and arrive at the Linfen railway station at four o'clock in the afternoon! ”

"I want to know that for this transportation, there is no way for us to guarantee the absolute safety of the military train and the smooth arrival at the Linfen Railway Station. As long as they stay at Linfen Railway Station for one night and leave Linfen Station the next day, it has nothing to do with us! ”

"Hey!" The chief of staff replied in the affirmative.

"General, after this period of patrolling, I am sure that the section of the railway that passed through the area controlled by the new regiment is intact and has not been damaged in any way."

"Starting tomorrow, the Inferior Duty Association will send more manpower to further strengthen the patrol of this section of the railway, and strive to control all areas on both sides of the railway within 500 meters, so that the Eighth Route Army will not be able to get close to our railway line!"

"Also, before two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, the lowly staff will contact the air force to send planes to escort the military columns. As long as the military column is attacked, the escort aircraft can provide support on the spot! ”

"Finally, the mixed brigade, cavalry brigade, engineer squadron, and armored squadron in the city will be on standby at any time the day after tomorrow to reinforce the battlefield!"

Major General Matsumoto's tense nerves finally relaxed.

In his opinion, the arrangement of the chief of staff can be described in four words.

It's good that the Eighth Route Army doesn't come, but if it comes, not only will it not be able to rob the military column, but it will also be wiped out.

At two o'clock in the morning that night, while Lieutenant General Matsumoto was still asleep, he was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

As soon as the door was opened, the chief of staff rushed in in a hurry.

"General, a new group has moved!"

"The latest information just sent by the intelligence department, three main battalions of the new regiment have just left the station, and each main battalion has nearly four hundred people, and they also bring infantry guns and heavy machine guns!"

"It must have been for our military train carrying food!" Major General Matsumoto made a judgment without thinking about it.

The chief of staff subconsciously reminded: "Bage Yalu, the intelligence and reconnaissance ability of the Eighth Route Army is too powerful, and the military column only passed through their control area two days later, and now you will know!" General, do you want to contact the front command immediately, tell them about the situation, and ask them to postpone the departure! ”

"Do you think it's possible?" Matsumoto asked rhetorically with a frown!

"Even if the front army command realizes the danger and wants to suspend the departure, several division commanders on the front line will not agree, you know, several division commanders on the front line are now out of food, and three meals a day have been reduced to two, and if it is reduced again, the troops will lose their combat effectiveness!"

The chief of staff was anxious, stared at the brigade commander and asked, "What should I do then?" ”

"If the military train is robbed again this time, we will definitely be guilty!"
