Chapter 95: Zhengtai Railway
In Yangcun Independent Regiment Headquarters.
Wang Ye and Wei Dayong were preparing to go out.
It's not like you'll be able to come back in a day or two, so you have to bring enough supplies.
Lao Gou had already received Li Yunlong's order, and only allocated 200 rounds of 6.5mm caliber plate rifle bullets plus 200 rounds of 7.63mm caliber Mauser pistol bullets to Wang Ye and Wei Dayong.
The 7.63mm Mauser pistol cartridge is a 20-shot box gun bullet.
Box guns are also called shell guns, fast and slow machines, self-obtained mobile phones, mirror boxes, etc.
Invented by the Germans, the pistol was intended to be used as an assault pistol, but it turned out to be a failure because it had inferior firepower to submachine guns and had inferior range to Mauser rifles.
But in China, the shell gun or box gun has become a famous gun.
It is conservatively estimated that there are at least a million shell guns in China today.
Because of the large number of shell guns in existence, and the replacement of gun parts and the supply of bullets are relatively easy, this pistol has become the standard for cadres of the Eighth Route Army.
As a reconnaissance unit, the Wolf Warrior Squad is naturally equipped with a standard weapon.
That is, the conditions are not allowed now, and Wang Ye plans to equip each of the team members with two guns in the future.
Wei Dayong muttered while pressing the bullets into the magazine: "Uncle Gou, you are also true, what can you do if you give us an extra hundred rounds?" The regimental commander can still shoot you if he knows? ”
"That's what I said." Lao Gou said angrily.
"If the soldiers of the whole regiment are like you, I will not be able to do it as the chief of supply."
Wei Dayong didn't give up, and said: "Uncle Gou, what do we have to do with you, and what does other people have to do with you?" Can this be the same? Give us another fifty rounds? ”
"You kid, you can talk better than the head of the regiment."
Lao Gou smiled and said, "Cheng, then I'll give you another hundred bullets." ”
"But these 100 rounds of ammunition are not given in vain, you have to exchange things with me."
"Uncle Gou, you say." Wei Dayong was overjoyed and said, "What do you want for a saber, a lunch box, leather boots, and a blanket?" As long as the devil has it, we can help you get it. ”
Wang Ye continued: "Japanese ladies are also fine." ”
"you, what do I want Japanese to do."
Lao Gou scolded with a smile, and said: "My notebook for keeping accounts is almost running out, and there are many notebooks among the condolences donated to our Eighth Route Army by patriotic people in Beiping, Shanghai and other places, but unfortunately they were deducted by Lao Jiang and Yan Xishanke, and not a single star fell on the head of our Eighth Route Army, so I can only ask the two of you to ask for it." ”
"That's it?" Wei Dayong said, "Uncle Gou, don't worry, I'll get you ten or eight books back when I go back." ”
Lao Gou counted out a hundred rounds of ammunition from the wooden box containing Mauser pistol bullets and handed them to Wei Dayong, while saying: "It is said that you two are not ignorant of the severity, but I still have to tell you, save a little use, our Eighth Route Army is not as good as the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army, it is not easy to replenish some bullets." ”
"Yes." Wei Dayong said, "We know it in our hearts. ”
As they spoke, the two had already filled two 20-round magazines.
The remaining bullets were sorted out and packed into two cartridge boxes.
The bullet box used by the two is the kind of leather bullet box used by the devil, a large box that can hold 100 rounds, and there are buckles, which are not easy to fall out if they are fastened.
The two men carried their pistols to their waists and carried them on their shoulders.
went to the room to find Lao Wang to receive dry food, and Lao Wang had already prepared white-flour buns for the two.
The rations of the Eighth Route Army were standardized, one ration in peacetime, and another ration when there was a combat mission, and Wang Ye's rations for the mission were twice as much as the wartime ration.
During the war, the Eighth Route Army had a quota of one catty and eight taels, and it was doubled to three catties.
The two of them are forty-two pounds in seven days, all white-flour buns, filled with a full cloth bag.
Waiting for Wang Ye to take the cloth bag, Lao Wang quietly stuffed a small cloth bag, Wang Ye knew that it was meat, it was horse meat that had been cooked and then dried, which could be eaten as a dish or directly as a snack.
The amount of horse meat is small, probably only a dozen catties.
Lao Wang said again: "Xiao Wang, can I ask you for something?" ”
"Lao Wang, you say." Wang Ye said, "As long as we can do it, we will definitely do it for you." ”
Lao Wang said: "I heard the regiment commander say that you are going out to conduct reconnaissance this time, and it is likely that you will go to the county seat?" ”
Wang Ye said: "It's to conduct reconnaissance, but it's hard to say if you can't enter the county, if we have time, we may go to Chengyangquan County to find out the deployment of the little devils in the city." ”
"That's great." Lao Wang said, "If you enter the city, you can help me bring a kitchen knife back by the way, and you must choose the kind of heavy weight, preferably the kind of knife that the butcher specially uses to chop bones." ”
The kitchen knives in the cooking class are too light, and it is too difficult to chop horse bones.
And if you can't break a hole at every turn, you have to grind for a long time.
made Lao Wang overwhelmed, so he simply bought a bone chopping knife.
"Cheng, then I remember." Wang Ye agreed.
Before setting off, Wang Ye checked the equipment one last time.
Weapons, dry food, maps, notebooks, pencils, and binoculars.
After making sure that nothing was left behind, Wang Ye took Wei Dayong on the road.
At this time, it was already afternoon, Wang Ye had already pinched the time, and now he could go, and he would almost be able to enter the Japanese-occupied area in the evening, so that after entering the Japanese-occupied area, he would be able to move at night.
Wang Ye didn't think that he would swagger into the Japanese-occupied area in broad daylight.
Not to mention that the current Japanese-occupied areas are run by devils, it is an indisputable fact that there are puppet troops, puppet police, and detective teams all over the place, and there are also a large number of devils hidden in various villages.
Carrying weapons into the Japanese-occupied areas in broad daylight is purely to seek abuse.
When I walked near Baijia Village, the sky gradually began to darken.
In the twilight, Wang Ye glanced at Baijia Village on the side of the road from a distance.
If nothing else, there must be devils in the village who are watching the two of them.
However, Wang Ye didn't care, because Baijia Village was already on the edge of the Japanese-occupied area, and there were often local armed forces or militias of the Eighth Route Army here.
And the two of them were also wearing civilian clothes.
Therefore, even if the spies in the village are informed, it is useless.
Because the devils in the Tiger Pavilion stronghold can't be screened at all.
What's more, whether there are Japanese troops in the Huting stronghold is also two words.
As a traverser, Wang Ye knew better than anyone that the 1st Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi had to station heavy troops in Jinnan to guard against the Central Army in Zhongtiao Mountain, and also had to transfer some troops to help the Zaoyi battlefield, and the troop dispatch was already stretched, so a remote stronghold like the Huting stronghold could be abandoned at any time.
Wang Ye's speculation was soon confirmed.
When the two of them walked near the stronghold of Tiger Pavilion,
I saw that groups of Japanese troops were evacuating one after another.
At that moment, the two of them hurriedly tied their horses to a hidden place, and then climbed to the top of a bare hill.
"Northwest Wolf, is the devil planning to give up the Tiger Pavilion stronghold?" Wei Dayong said, "You see, even the puppet army has come out, and the entire stronghold is empty. ”
Wang Ye saw more clearly through the distance.
The entire stronghold has indeed been emptied.
Those dozens of big trucks and hundreds of sacks loaded on board trucks are estimated to be the supplies of the Black Island Wing, but it is a pity that the 1st Battalion failed to take the stronghold this time, otherwise these supplies would have belonged to the independent regiment.
Wang Ye made a visual inspection, and there were two hundred tons of materials here.
Wei Dayong said: "Do you want to take advantage of the devil's defenselessness and him?" ”
"Big bad wolf, have you forgotten the commander's instructions?" Wang Ye said coldly.
"That can't be forgotten." Wei Dayong said, "I have always remembered the instructions of the head of the regiment." ”
Wang Ye said: "Then tell me now, what did the regiment commander say about the instructions given to us?" ”
Wei Dayong said: "The regiment commander said that as long as the gunshots go out, you must get some benefits and go back, you can eat and wear, more is not too much, less is not too little, but it can't be without." ”
Wang Ye pointed to the devil convoy and said, "Then do you think we can benefit from the devils in front?" ”
Wei Dayong was silent, it should be easy to kill a few devils while the devils were unprepared, but it was impossible to capture some weapons, equipment or materials.
After all, there are thousands of devils in front of them.
There are also more than a dozen armored vehicles and tanks.
Because the highway had been occupied by the Japanese army, Wang Ye and the others had to take another road.
After walking about 20 kilometers under the cover of night, we came to the ditch on the north side of Zhengtai Road.
Since the Japanese army occupied most of Shanxi, it has been strengthening the security of Zhengtai Road, because the Zhengtai Railway and the Tongpu Railway can be called the two lifelines of the 1st Army stationed in Shanxi.
The Japanese army carried out a strategy of using railways as pillars, highways as chains, and strongholds as locks.
By the end of 39, the Japanese army had built hundreds of large and small strongholds along the Zhengtai Road, and built two parallel roads at a distance of 10 to 15 kilometers on the north and south sides of the Zhengtai Railway.
A trench more than three meters deep and four meters wide was also dug on the outside of the road to cut off traffic.
Therefore, the area of 10 to 15 kilometers on both sides of Zhengtai Road has become a Japanese-occupied area of iron barrels.
Since last year, the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army has been divided into two parts, and it has become very difficult to achieve the exchange of personnel and materials between the two base areas.
However, a trench of this width could not stop well-trained horses.
After determining the location of the trench by the moonlight, Wang Ye and Wei Dayong retreated dozens of meters back, first running and then jumping forward lightly to easily cross the trench more than four meters wide.
The horses could even cross an eight-meter-wide trench at the farthest.
Since the horse's hooves were wrapped in cotton cloth, there was little movement on the ground.
So although there was a turret less than a hundred meters away, it did not alarm the devil puppet army in the turret.
Wang Ye is also a master of art and bold, and after crossing the trench, he did not rush to find a place to hide, but directly stayed a hundred meters away from the turret.
While holding up the binoculars to observe,
On the other hand, he asked Wei Dayong to prepare the map.
There was a dim light spilling out of the turret, and it was actually electrified.
With the dim light of electric lights, Wang Ye began to estimate the size of the stronghold.
Wei Dayong first put the backpack in front of the saddle, then flattened the map on the backpack, and then covered the tip of the flashlight with his left hand and opened it again, only a little light leaked from between his fingers.
With this bit of light leaking out, Wei Dayong began to wander around the map to search.
Wang Ye had already observed it and asked, "Big bad wolf, have you found it?" ”
"Damn, I don't even know where the black light was just now." Wei Dayong said urgently.
"What stupid!" Wang Ye didn't have a good breath and said, "First find the stronghold of Huting, and then twenty kilometers south-southeast, there is a village called Miaoyan Village, that's it." ”
Wang Ye had just seen the map, so he remembered it very clearly.
Relying on Wang Ye's prompt, Wei Dayong finally found it quickly this time: "I have found it." ”
Wang Ye said: "Remember, there is a small stronghold, a detachment with a maximum number of devils, a platoon at most for the puppet army, a main artillery tower, three floors, and a wall and trench outside the turret, without barbed wire." ”
Wei Dayong quickly made a record by the glimmer of light leaking from his left hand.
After Wei Dayong made a record, the two continued to walk along the road.
Wei Dayong asked as he walked, "Northwest Wolf, let's do this?" ”
"Or else?" Wang Ye asked rhetorically, "Why do you think we're here?" ”
"That's boring, isn't it?" Wei Dayong muttered, "You have to kill a few little devils, right?" ”
Wang Ye said: "It's important to get down to business, killing devils is just incidental, if you have the opportunity, kill a few." ”
After walking not far, a beam of snow-bright headlights suddenly shone in front of him, fortunately, this section of the road is not a straight line, otherwise Wang Ye and the two of them would be directly exposed.
"Hidden!" Wang Ye let out a low snort.
The two hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and led the war horse to the field by the highway to hide.
War horses are war horses, Wang Ye and Wei Dayong only need to pull the reins down, and the war horse can kneel on the ground, and then hold the horse's neck and gently press it down, and the war horse will immediately lie on the ground obediently.
And as long as Wang Ye and Wei Dayong keep holding the horse's neck,
The horse will always remain in a side-lying position and will not get up.
Moreover, the war horse will not neigh.
The vehicle approached slowly, and soon the roar of the engine could be heard.
When he got closer, Wang Ye realized that this was not a truck, but an armored car.
Not surprisingly, this armored vehicle should be responsible for the night patrol of the road on the north side of Zhengtai Road, but according to the practice of the Japanese army, there should also be motorized infantry patrolling together.
Otherwise, with a single armored vehicle, the field of vision is very limited, and it is easy to miss the target.
But the weather was very cold tonight, and Wang Ye estimated that the devil infantry who coordinated the patrol should not want to blow the cold wind, so he did not come out to patrol with him.
Even so, Wang Ye never thought of provoking this Iron King Ba.
But that's the way things are, and the more you try to hide, the more you can't.
The devil's armored car drove to a distance of less than fifty meters from Wang Ye and them, and suddenly stopped, and then the top cover of the turret opened, and a devil leaned out with a flashlight and shone around.
Wang Ye and Wei Dayong hurriedly rubbed the neck of the war horse with their hands to prevent the war horse from being frightened and suddenly getting up.
Since this was within the blockade ditch, and there was a small turret less than five hundred meters away, the devil on the armored vehicle did not search carefully.
After taking a casual photo,
The devil turned off the flashlight.
Then the door of the armored car opened,
Three devils streamed down from the inside.
The three devils were obviously prepared.
There are millet straws left over from harvesting on the side of the road.
Wang Ye and Wei Dayong hid behind the straw pile.
Two of the devils went straight to the straw and hugged two bundles.
When they were closest, the two devils were less than five meters away from Wang Ye.
Wei Dayong gestured to Wang Ye with his eyes again and again, but Wang Ye was unmoved.
Because the devil's armored car has more than four people, but there are only three devils who got out of the car, which means that there is still a devil left in the armored car.
Start at this time, of course, you can easily kill the three devils who got out of the car.
But the last devil left in the armored car will definitely be alarmed, and then the little devil only needs to hook his finger and they will be finished.
Because the main gun of the armored car is facing the direction of the nose.
Besides, the two devils, after holding the straw, threw it into the open space in front of the car, poured half a bottle of liquor on the straw, and then flipped it with a lighter, and the flames burst out.
After the bonfire was lit, the devils took a lot of things from the car one after another.
By the light of the headlights, you can see a rabbit, two chickens, and an iron shelf.
Wang Ye was happy all of a sudden, these little devils are quite professional, are they here for a picnic?
Now Wang Ye is even more reluctant to attack so quickly, and it is not too late to do it when these devils have finished roasting rabbit meat and cooking roast chicken, just eat ready-made.
Time is ticking.
Temperatures are getting cooler at night.
However, Wang Ye didn't feel cold at all.
The cold soldier-level physique is so arrogant.
Wei Dayong must be able to feel the cold, but this kid has specially practiced endurance in Shaolin Temple, and this little test is nothing to him at all.
After almost an hour, the rabbit and chicken were finally roasted.
The rich smell of meat came from the night wind, and Wei Dayong's stomach rumbled.
Thanks to the fact that when the straw burns, it often makes a cracking sound, otherwise it will be directly exposed.
There was finally movement in the armored car again, and another devil stepped out of the car, and after getting out of the car, he stretched his waist for a long time, daring to hide in the car and sleep just now.
Needless to say, this is certainly an officer.
Now there's no problem, it's time to do it.
At that moment, Wang Ye gave Wei Dayong a look, and Wei Dayong understood.
The two of them calmed their horses and made sure that they would not roll over and sit up in a short time.
Then he avoided the lights on the front of the armored car and quietly touched it from both sides.
Wang Ye and Wei Dayong hid in the dark and saw that the devils in the light were very eye-catching, but the four devils sat in the bright place, and they were blind to the dark places outside the headlights, and they couldn't see anything.
These four devils are really careless.
Because it had been a long time since the blockade had been repaired, the string that had tightened in their minds had slackened.
Under the cover of night,
Wang Ye and Wei Dayong quickly touched the back of the four devils.
The devil's vision with his back to the headlights was less affected, and it seemed that he saw it out of the corner of his eye, Huo Ran turned his head to look at Wang Ye's direction and asked loudly: "Nani Monodesga?" ”
"Your ancestor!" Wang Ye let out a low sigh and jumped up.
