August 20 at 20:00! The Zhengtai Road Raid has officially begun! The battle started on all fronts at the scheduled time!

Red flares that heralded an attack burst into the air, piercing the night sky. Assault troops from all directions rushed down the enemy's stations and strongholds like tigers descending from the mountains.

The thunderous explosions, one after another, resounded throughout Zhengtai Road.

Li Yunlong led the new second regiment to ambush near a section of railroad tracks, and the whole regiment was divided into four parts by him. He and Zhao Gang each took five hundred warriors, taking advantage of the natural cover provided by the cornfields, quietly waiting for the horn of the attack.

At the moment when the time reached eight o'clock in the evening, the comrades rushed to the railroad tracks with tools like leopards pounced on their prey. These people are tasked with picking railroad tracks and moving sleepers.

The remaining 200 people, each led by Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan, were ambushed in a section one kilometer away from the main force. Not only did they need to plant bombs here, but they also needed to guard the west and east sides for the main forces of the regimental headquarters.

If there are no devils passing by here and finding something unusual, then everything is naturally fine. If a railway patrol or a military train happens to pass by, they have to stop where they are to buy time for the soldiers in the regiment.

The devils set up street lights around the railway, and these lighting devices rely on telephone poles along the way to provide electricity. These lights have the potential to expose the new 2nd Regiment on a mission, so they need to be dealt with at the very beginning of the operation.

This task of cutting wires was a piece of cake for the veterans, and even the recruits who had not previously been involved in the sabotage of the railroad were specially trained in the regimental headquarters.

I saw that on this nearly two-kilometer stretch of road, there was a soldier on every telephone pole.

They were as nimble as monkeys, and they quickly climbed to the top with their hands and feet together. After making sure that you don't fall, you take out the scissors you have prepared long ago to cut off the wires.

There were even some short-tempered fighters who directly took out the sapper shovels issued by the logistics department some time ago. A sharp shovel blade can simply be lifted high to cut wires directly under the action of gravity and inertia.

After finishing their work, the comrades immediately withdrew from the telephone poles, and this time the task of sabotage was to make it difficult for the devils to resume railway transportation in a short time.

The wires were cut just to turn off the lights so that the working fighters could hide in the dark.

Next, these temporary sappers also need to cut off the power poles, completely cutting off the possibility of quick repair of the circuit, adding another fire to the difficulty of the devil's reconstruction work.

On the side of the main force, the fighters had a clear division of labor, and all those who engaged in sabotage were divided into three parts.

The first part is responsible for removing the road spikes, which are the big nails used to hold the rails and sleepers, and must be disposed of before the rest of the work can be carried out.

At the same time, the soldiers in the second part stuck their homemade crowbars into the gap between the railway and the ground. As soon as they saw that all the road spikes were pulled out, they would use the lever principle to pry the rails up.

The comrades in the third part were tied to the right side of the rails with multi-knotted ropes, and they would cooperate with the comrades in the second part to overturn the rails on the left side.

The next step is to mobilize the masses of the people.

After making sure that there is no danger in the vicinity, the militia and fellow villagers will also participate in these operations tonight. They were waiting a little farther away, and when they received the signal, they would come and take the sleepers and rails away.

The rails need to be hidden deep in the mountains, and the steel of good quality will be brought back to the logistics department for use, and when the operation is over, someone will be responsible for recycling.

As for the sleepers, it doesn't matter, whether the villagers take it back to burn it or find a place to throw it away, as long as they don't get discovered by the devils, they can do it.

Although everyone was working in full swing on both sides of the railway line, and the overall destruction work was carried out in an orderly manner, Li Yunlong was a little depressed in his heart.

After removing a piece of avenue nails, he finally couldn't help but complain:

"Usually, I didn't destroy the devil's railway, and I finally waited for a big battle, but the result was still the railway. If it goes on like this, Lao Tzu will really become a road picker in the future. ”

"Lao Zhao, I'm so uncomfortable. Don't you know that so many people in our 129th Division looked at me and spoke harshly that day, and I was called an exit in front of the division commander. ”

"Hey, as a result, now our new second regiment is actually doing the work of guerrillas and county brigades. After that, I will go to the division headquarters for a meeting, where should I put my old face? ”

Although Grand Master Li was complaining, the work at hand did not stop, because he knew the importance of obeying the command in all actions.

Originally, Zhao Gang was working seriously, and his thin clothes were bulging with his powerful muscles. But after hearing his partner's words, he almost flashed his waist in a fit of relief.

"Okay, you don't have to say a word. The comrades around me are still listening, what do you look like as a regimental commander. ”

"And this operation will definitely alarm a lot of devils, can the division commander and brigade commander know that good steel is used on the blade? When the time comes, we will definitely fight. ”

"In case the railway in charge of our regiment has not been dealt with at that time, the regiment commander, you don't want the combat mission to fall into the hands of others, right?"

After hearing this, Li Yunlong, who was still a little forced to rely on Lai, immediately began to work hard. It seems that he is really afraid that the combat mission will be snatched away, and the crowbar in his hand is vigorous, not to mention how energetic.

The camera shifted to Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan, who had just planted explosives. With the addition of a new sapper shovel, the work is progressing surprisingly fast.

In the past, the soldiers had to dig up the gravel between the sleepers by hand, which not only hurt their hands but was also inefficient. Now with the new equipment, a few shovels have dug up the space needed to place the bomb.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of this sabotage operation, the chemical plant in the northwest of Shanxi Province located in the logistics department worked overtime to produce batches of yellow explosives, and even a few comrades were a little anxious for quick success, resulting in considerable injuries.

But everyone's efforts were worth it, and almost all of the 20 regiments that directly participated in the Zhengtai Railway attack received sufficient explosives packages.

At that time, Zhang Wanhe said cruel words to each transport team that received supplies, and how much he could load depended on his own ability, and the logistics department opened up the supply this time.

Just as Zhang Dabiao was about to withdraw to the originally set ambush position, a soldier suddenly fell to the ground and put his ear to the railroad tracks.

It is well known that sound can travel in solids.

And the speed of propagation in steel is much greater than in air, so you can tell if there is a train coming in the distance by sticking your ear to the rails.

Although this comrade did not know the principle, he did exactly what the veteran of the railway guerrillas taught him in the first place. After a brief estimate, he thought that the devil's train would appear in less than two minutes before they were where they were now.

A little later, a very rare armored car appeared on the railway. It is not the dual-purpose type of the 95-type railway and road that I have seen in the past, but the 93-type cavalry armored vehicle with very little production.

Although both are armored vehicles that can switch forms and drive down from the railroad to pursue.

But unlike the barren firepower of the Type 95, the Type 93 cavalry armored vehicle is a big killer like a hedgehog. This thing can be said to have no natural enemies on the battlefield in North China, and it has always been the last thing that the railway guerrillas want to face.

Its main armament was a 37 mm gun, and there was also a course machine gun in the co-pilot's position. There was also a machine gun on each side of the armored car, and an anti-aircraft machine gun was also installed behind the turret.

Obviously, the devils looked down on the Eighth Route Army in Jin Province, and they actually dismantled the Type 94 anti-tank gun, which could fire armor-piercing shells and high-explosive grenades, and replaced it with a heavy machine gun.

However, six light and heavy machine guns can provide dense firepower, which is indeed very threatening for the Eighth Route Army.

The fighters hurried to hide, because the hull of the armored car was equipped with rotating searchlights, which made it possible to detect them even at night.

With a clatter, accompanied by puffs of white smoke, the devil's train approached quickly from a distance.

Li Yunlong, who was working a little farther away, also noticed movement in the distance, but the current sabotage work was at a critical juncture, and they couldn't leave for the time being, otherwise their efforts would be wasted.

Although he was very relieved about his subordinates, he still sent his own platoon of guards to reinforce him.

After all, it's only 8:15 now, and there is a certain chance that Zhang Dabiao hasn't set up an ambush circle yet. In case something really happens, the guard platoon can also provide some support.

But Zhang Dabiao has not disappointed Li Yunlong so far, and their group has already arranged yellow explosives according to certain rules.

In order to deal with the sudden appearance of the devil army, the two explosives they placed were almost thirty meters apart, which was a plan to blow up the train at one time.

Even God is on the side of justice, and such an arrangement can now play a greater role.

Seeing the devil's train getting closer and closer, even the fighters could clearly see the machine gun on the front of the car. But no one acted rashly, and Zhang Dabiao was waiting for an opportunity to blow up both the armored car and the train at the same time.

In an instant, both armored vehicles and military columns entered the position where the bombs were planted.

"Pull!"

With Zhang Dabiao's angry shout, the company commander next to him immediately pulled the detonating rope in his hand, and violent explosions rose from the lower end of the rails.

The devil's armor strength, which is notoriously thin-skinned and stuffy.

Whether it is an armored vehicle or a light tank, it can only bully and bully troops without anti-tank capabilities, but once there is the capital to counteract, it is relatively easy to solve.

After all, their Ninety-Five-Style Light Tank, a military kettle can paralyze its turret, and the others are not much better.

The bomb of this weight directly lifted off the 4.5-ton armored vehicle. Thousands of machine gun bullets and fuel inside the machine gun exploded twice, causing the turret on top to fly more than ten meters away.

Machine gun bullets also flew around after ignition, and even if the soldiers in ambush were far enough away, some of the stray bullets flew towards them. But now the fighters have steel helmets, and non-combat attrition has not happened.

As for the original internal devil soldiers, that Zhang Dabiao could only say one word, and they were all acquaintances.

This sudden explosion made all the devils who opened the way in front of them go to see the locusts in an instant. It's a pity that these devils died too quickly, and there was no even pain.

The devil's military train did not end well, and the locomotive, which was more than 100 tons, was lifted alive by yellow explosives and derailed one meter smaller, and it rolled sideways to the left and derailed directly.

The huge inertia caused the carriage to be carried away from its original track, plowing deep marks on the ground on both sides.

The goods in the carriage and the devil soldiers fell into a ball, and they never dreamed that they were eating hot pot and singing songs, and how they were suddenly blown up.

And the enemy's bombs are so powerful, this is still a poor guerrilla on weekdays? Could it be that their black powder has mutated?

This feels like a cannon from the top level of the heavy patrol before it was modified, could it be that even the Eighth Route Army has 155?

"Yukikaze save me!"

Seeing this situation, Zhang Dabiao excitedly waved his fist in the air, and it was the first time he participated in such a violent stop.

The devils who escorted the car were all elites, and although they were smashed, they quickly adjusted their state.

For them, the enemy situation is unknown now, and they don't know if there will be another explosion. If they don't find a way to get out of the overturned train car, they can only die.

So these little Yaga got out of the carriage and began to prepare for the attack of the Eighth Route Army on the spot with the help of the train as a cover.

This means that Zhang Dabiao does not have enough time, otherwise he is planting some mines, and this group of enemies will definitely die thoroughly.

"Call me!"

Although it was night, the fire of the explosion provided us with a good view, and the soldiers on the positions on both sides of the railway all began to beat the water dogs.

Several FM-24/29s began to suppress the devils, and the accurate shooters in the team each hunted down the outcropping enemy. Just as the devils were preparing to fight to the death, the adjusted mortar showed its fangs.

The rate of fire of 60 is simply outrageous, and with the supply of the Yellow River, the troops are now qualified to fire rapidly.

Under the cover of mortars, Zhang Dabiao held a light machine gun and led the comrades of the commando team to rush to the position temporarily constructed by the devils.

After three waves of attacks, the devil has almost no ability to resist.

The few enemies behind the bunker were also dealt with by the commandos as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, and their desperate fight only brought a single digit of casualties to the commandos.

That's when the individual treatment kit came into play, and the soldiers were treated by themselves without a hygienist. Although it still affected the combat effectiveness, every wounded person could still move.

After the battle, in addition to the soldiers who also needed to remain vigilant, Zhang Dabiao took the remaining comrades and began to clean up the battlefield. The main thing is to see what the devil's train is carrying.

When he saw that there were bags of packaged grain in the carriage, Zhang Dabiao took out the big blade on his back with a fierce face, and slashed at a devil who was not dead.

There are only two new portable radio regiments, and the ambush team is not equipped here. Zhang Dabiao helped the steel helmet on his head, turned to the correspondent on the side and said:

"You go back and inform the regiment commander and let the militia and fellow villagers come and carry the grain! Be fast! ”

Actually, it was raining heavily that day, but the rain battle was too troublesome so I didn't write about it.

If someone were to ask me how much explosives I had planted, I would only say how much I wanted.
