Chapter 505 Okamura: I want to challenge the weakness of the Eighth Route Army!

About 100 meters from the tracks, behind a bush of grass, there is a small inconspicuous mound of earth.

In order to prevent the railway from being attacked, the devils did not dig trenches or pull barbed wire.

However, the devils occupied hundreds of meters of land on both sides of the railway, and did not allow the common people to grow crops, so the two sides of the railway were very open.

Next to the small mound of dirt, a pair of dripping eyes turned slightly, staring in the direction of the railway.

In order to achieve the best concealment effect, the Sword Squadron dug a pit directly in the ground that could accommodate people, and the people lay on the edge of the pit, and then covered it with a layer of dirt and weeds, so that the concealment lurking area was the same color as the surrounding area.

With the concealment technology of the Sword Squadron, ordinary people can't find it even if they get close.

The person in charge of pressing the detonator was Wang Gensheng, who had a detonator modified from a telephone and a low-power walkie-talkie beside him.

Wang Gensheng entered the detonation position before dawn, and he hid in the ambush position for five hours, still remaining unmoved.

And Duan Peng, with the rest of the team, was ready to answer at any time in the distance.

Two 60-mm mortars were set up in the cornfield, and the firing Zhu Yuan had been adjusted in advance, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed in the direction of the rails, ready to fire smoke grenades at any time to cover Wang Gensheng's retreat.

Pit puff puff puff...

The sound of the wheels rubbing against the rails can be heard on the railway.

Wang Gensheng's expression moved, his right hand tightly grasped the handle of the detonator, and because he couldn't turn his head to look, he could only see the target clearly when the train entered the field of vision in front of him.

Not long after, a smoking train appeared in Wang Gensheng's field of vision.

Not the goal...

The train quickly disappeared from view, Wang Gensheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he immediately let go of his right hand holding the handle of the detonator and continued to wait for the prey.

In order to achieve the maximum power, Wang Gensheng's team made 2 more bundles of TNT explosives, and buried a total of 3 bundles of explosives under the sleepers of the railroad tracks, each of which weighed no less than 25 catties.

You can definitely get Miyano Michiichi's old devil on a dirt plane.

After about half an hour, after a small detachment of devil patrols passed by, the sound of pit puffs and puffs was heard again from the direction of the railway, this time the sound was much duller than the last time.

After a while, a heavily armored train appeared in front of Wang Gensheng.

"That's it!"

The 94 heavy armored train is not common in North China, and once it appears, there is a high probability that there will be devils and high-ranking officials in it.

Because of the general guerrilla attack, the devil only needs to dispatch small armored vehicles to deal with it.

Wang Gensheng's right hand gripped the handle of the detonator tightly again.

At the same time, he counted:

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

"Four!"

When he counted to four, the command car of the Type 94 armored train was directly above the explosive pack.

Wang Gensheng did not hesitate to turn the handle in his hand and press it suddenly!

The charge is instantly transmitted to the detonator strapped to the explosive pack, and the explosion of the detonator detonates the explosive pack.

"Boom!" At the moment when he pressed the detonator, an explosion like a thunderous landslide and the ground cracked loudly, and as the sound spread, the explosion suddenly exploded in the vast sky.

I saw a cloud of orange-red flames suddenly bloom from the command car, and the flames instantly engulfed the entire command car.

Even the two carriages in front of the command car, the armored locomotive and the gun carriage C, were affected.

As the flames tumbled upwards like flowers of death, the clouds from the explosion suddenly spread out in all directions.

Duan Peng and Wang Xikui not only heard the explosion in the cornfield in the distance, but also saw the fourth carriage of the armored train being engulfed in flames in the field of vision of the telescope.

The corners of Duan Peng's mouth curled slightly, and he shouted loudly: "Smoke bombs!" ”

As soon as his words fell, the sword team members at the mortar position immediately put smoke grenades into the barrels.

After two muffled toms, the smoke grenade was put into the barrel again, and then the gunner slightly adjusted the shooting Zhuyuan, and fired two more smoke grenades......

With a constant stream of smoke bombs hitting the devil's 94 armored train.

Soon, a thick layer of gray-white smoke was enveloped around the entire 94 armored train.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Gensheng cut the wires with a knife, jumped up from a hidden position, and ran wildly in the direction of the cornfield with a detonator.

The devils on the rest of the armored trains of the Type 94 armored train also did not taste good.

In particular, the devils in the two compartments of the artillery carriage C and the armored locomotive, which were adjacent to the command compartment, also suffered heavy casualties.

At the same time, a choking black smoke poured into the other carriages from the junction of the carriages, coupled with the thick smoke bombs outside, and the surviving devils were all stunned.

Who am I and where am I?

However, a few experienced Devil Machine Gunners quickly reacted, wielding the 7.7mm Type 92 heavy machine gun and firing indiscriminately outside.

In this situation, the devils did not dare to get out of the car rashly, and the machine gunners operated the Type 92 heavy machine guns one after another.

Da Da...

The firing sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun sounded like a popping bean.

The devil's gunners are also firing indiscriminately in all directions.

But at this time, Wang Gensheng held the detonator and smoothly entered the cornfield to meet Duan Peng and them.

"How about Gensheng, not hurt, right?"

Duan Peng looked Wang Gensheng up and down, his expression was full of worry, the devil's heavy machine gun sound was still continuing, he was really afraid that a stray bullet would hit Wang Gensheng.

Although Wang Gensheng was in a neat shape, Duan Peng still subconsciously asked.

"Captain, I'm fine!" Wang Gensheng smiled slightly, his expression was happy, "If Miyano Michichi, the old devil, is in that command carriage, then he will die, and the Heavenly King Laozi will not be able to save him when he comes." ”

"It should be dead, the information given by Boss Chen has never gone wrong." The corners of Duan Peng's mouth curled slightly.

"That's right." Wang Gensheng nodded, his eyes lit up, and it was refreshing to have information.

By this time, the two mortar groups had put away the mortars and mounted the muzzles and bases of the mortars on horseback.

When Duan Peng shouted without hesitation: "Withdraw!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the team members turned over their horses one after another, and in the farewell of the devil's machine guns and howitzers, they hurried towards the Langya Mountain in the northwest direction.

The devils poured fire for a long time, only to realize that there was no enemy to return fire at all.

Then, the devils jumped off the armored train in a panic, and looked at the command car that almost disintegrated in the explosion, and their faces turned pale.

Judging from the explosion, the devils knew that Lieutenant General Miyano was dead, and Amaterasu couldn't save him when he came.

……

Peiping.

Command of the North China Front.

Okamura Ninji and Moritake Tanabe, who had been busy all morning, were sitting together for breakfast.

Breakfast was quite generous with rice, eggs, side dishes and grilled fish.

Okamura Ningji was a little disappointed in this Jizhong sweeping operation, he didn't know what went wrong, and he couldn't surround all the Eighth Route Army.

At least most of the Eighth Route Army jumped out of the encirclement before the Japanese army's iron-rolled sweeping tactics formed an encirclement posture.

However, several infantry regiments and one cavalry regiment were still surrounded by the encirclement.

Even these Eighth Route Army had the opportunity to break out of the encirclement, and his Jizhong sweep almost failed, but the Eighth Route Army of these regiments fell into the encirclement of the Japanese army in order to protect the transfer of the common people.

A few regiments is better than nothing.

What's more, there has never been a case of destroying several regiments of the Eighth Route Army at the same time.

Moreover, this time the Eighth Route Army fell into a situation of encirclement because of the retreat of the common people, so that Okamura Ninji discovered the weakness of the Eighth Route Army.

Although after the Japanese army broke into the base area, it mainly dealt with the Eighth Route Army in the base area, and the massacre of the ordinary people in the base area was just a casual task.

But these Eighth Route Army were still not afraid of death, covering the retreat of the common people one after another.

Although Okamura Ningji was eating his breakfast, his mind was thinking quickly, and he thought to himself that this move could be used by the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi.

Even if it doesn't solve all the Eighth Route Army and ordinary people in the northwest of Jin.

But as long as the autumn grain in the northwest of Shanxi is destroyed and collected, and the people starve to death in patches, the Eighth Route Army can become rootless duckweed in the northwest of Shanxi.

Without the support of the common people, what will your Eighth Route Army do to fight the imperial army?

This time, he personally planned and commanded the sweep of the base area in the northwest of Shanxi, and Okamura Ningji was ready to challenge the weakness of the Eighth Route Army.

At present, the Eighth Route of several regiments and a group of ordinary people in Jizhong have fallen into the heavy encirclement of 30,000 Japanese troops.

After this battle is over, it will not be long before the Eighth Route Army's northwestern base area in Jin can begin.

"Tanabe-kun, Miyano-kun should have arrived in Baoding at this time, right?" Okamura asked.

"Yes!" Moritake Tanabe replied, "According to the time, Lieutenant General Miyano has already arrived in Baoding, and after the Hurricane armored train fills up the coal water in Baoding, it will go to the battle area to observe the new tactics of His Excellency the General at close range. ”

Moritake Tanabe did not forget to make a sycophant, and Okamura Ninji, who was reused by the Minister of War Hideji Tojo, has an unlimited future in the future.

Although Tanabe Moritake's sycophant was a little embarrassing, Okamura Ninji's face showed a touch of pride.

The new tactics he developed this time were indeed different from the past.

The Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region is not the Eighth Route Army in the northwest of Shanxi, and it does not have such good equipment and such strong combat effectiveness, and it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated.

Okamura Ninji instructed: "Tanabe-kun, contact the Tempest immediately, and be sure to remind Miyano-kun to pay attention to safety." ”

"Hey!" Moritake Tanabe bowed his head.

At this moment, the communications staff officer of the headquarters hurriedly walked in, his face extremely ugly.

The communications staff officer immediately reported: "Report to the commander, chief of staff, something has happened!" ”

"What's the panic?" Tanabe Moritake frowned: "What's wrong?" ”

The communications staff officer hurriedly picked up the telegram and read it: "Kato Shaoza, the captain of the military police stationed in Baoding, has just sent an urgent telegram that the armored train of the Hurricane on which Lieutenant General Miyano Michiichi is riding has been bombed 10 kilometers northeast of Baoding, and General Miyano has done his best for His Majesty the Emperor!" ”

"Nani?" Tanabe Moritake's hand that was about to pick up the vegetables with chopsticks suddenly slammed there, his face full of horror and disbelief

Okamura Ninji was even stiffer, motionless like a clay sculpture.

"Yaga!" Two minutes later, Okamura Ninji suddenly shouted, overturned the small table, and the rice, eggs and other breakfast on the table fell all over the floor.

His eyes were crazy, and the killing intent in his eyes quickly condensed, as if he was about to kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
