Chapter 224 Large-scale attack

The reason why the military derailed without any sensation from the driver was all because of the guerrillas tampered with each other on the railway.

The connection between the railway tracks was considered to be staggered by the guerrillas. Although it was less than ten centimeters wide, it could still allow the fast-moving army to rush out of the railway...

After concentrating the fierce firepower created by the Czech Republic, the army was completely out of danger.

The guerrillas have long been familiar with doing this.

The two teams with equipment and ammunition set off quickly, attacking on both sides along the railway, blocking all Japanese and puppet troops that could reinforce the battlefield.

The remaining troops quickly rushed to several joints in platoons, but there was no fire in the tank carriage to search for what they wanted.

"Captain, there are dozens of boxes of explosives here!" the third company commander shouted from a distance.

Chen Zhong's eyes lit up as soon as he heard this: "This is a treasure for the railway explosion. The guard platoon immediately took action, took the explosive package I just found, and destroyed one kilometer of railways on both sides of our left and right sides. The more violent the bomb, the better!"

"Yes, captain!"

The guard platoon leader waved his hand and rushed to the car with dozens of soldiers. Two minutes later, one of them disappeared on the battlefield carrying a box of explosives.

Ten minutes later, explosions came from both sides of the battlefield, and fireballs like mushroom clouds rose from the ground along the railway, and fires splashed everywhere, which was very dazzling...

After Chen Zhong gave the order, he focused on several tank carriages.

The guard platoon is the strongest platoon in the guerrillas. There are several absenteeisms who can use explosives. If you hand over the railway bombing task to them, there will definitely be no accidents.

I personally entered a tank carriage and searched for the treasure I wanted.

A "bang..." sounded in the carriage, and a wooden box was forcibly pried open by Chen Zhong with a bayonet.

When he lifted up the thatch covering the surface, the heavy machine gun's gun's body emitted a faint blue light appeared in front of him.

Chen Zhong was excited, and he was happier than eating peaches, and screamed with excitement.

"It's a heavy machine gun, this is a real treasure. With it, our guerrillas' offensive firepower can be at least doubled. A few people will carry this box back and send it back directly to the base. There must be no accidents in the middle."

"These boxes are loaded with heavy machine gun bullets, so they will be moved back together! With them, our fire platoon will be worthy of its name!"

A few minutes later, the exclamation of the company commander of the Third Company reached Chen Zhong's ear again: "Captain, this carriage contains more than a dozen boxes of bullets and a large number of covers!"

"Transfer them all back, send two people to catch up with one or two companies, and draw one platoon to help transport supplies. We miscalculated this time. If we had known that so many treasures could be seized on the military line, we would have asked the fellow villagers in advance how many big cars they had borrowed!"

"Captain, this carriage contains food and canned food!" A few minutes later, another subordinate shouted.

"If you can move, you can move it away..." Chen Zhong felt a little numb when he heard the same words, and ordered it without thinking.

At the command center of the Yangquan Japanese Railway Guard, a rapid telephone ringing suddenly rang in the room, and the staff on duty subconsciously grabbed the microphone.

At first, my eyes were blurred and I didn't wake up. After picking up the phone and listening to it for less than half a minute, my eyes began to widen, and my whole face was slowly replaced by shock.

He put down the phone and ran to the room where the commander was resting.

After arriving at the door, he shouted loudly inward, regardless of whether the chief was awake or not!

"Sir, something happened!"

"A military train was intercepted in Nanyu Town, the military train was destroyed, and most of the materials transported were lost. At least two kilometers of railways were completely blown up in the area where the military train was injured. It must be rebuilt before it can be connected!"

The commander with the rank of colonel rushed out of the room and stared at the staff officer on duty and cursed incrediblely: "Bageya Road, what are the troops stationed along the railway for food? It will take at least an hour for the enemy to destroy such a long railway. Haven't they sent troops to reinforce the battlefield and watched the railway be bombed?"

The staff officer quickly replied: "Sir, calm down. They sent troops to reinforce the battlefield, but the opponent was too strong, and all the reinforcements were killed."

"The enemy not only intercepted the army and blew up a two-kilometer-long railway, but also captured our three artillery towers and strongholds, killing nearly a hundred imperial troops and nearly two hundred imperial assistants..."

"Nani!" The commander was even more shocked than before.

No one knew better than him about the railway garrison garrison garrison garrisons.

Calculated by the five-kilometer railway line protection of each artillery tower and stronghold, the enemy's capture of three artillery towers means that a fifteen-kilometer vacuum zone appeared along the Zhengtai Railway, and no imperial army was active there, so the enemy would do whatever they wanted.

He raised his eyebrows and ordered: "Immediately draw a squadron from the mobile unit to reinforce the battlefield, and then transfer an armored vehicle to block this defense loophole."

"All engineers and railway workers are drawn to rebuild this section of the railway there and build the Zhengtai Railway in the shortest time!"

"Hi!" The staff officer on duty quickly received the order.

Just as I was about to turn around and return to the command center, the commander's order sounded again: "Contact other troops protecting the railway line and strengthen their vigilance from now on. I don't want to hear any reports of railways being bombed!"

The commander's wish is destined to be unfulfilled.

The staff officer on duty appeared again at the door of the commander's room less than two hours after leaving. His expression was even heavier than before. He took several deep breaths before he reported.

"Sir, a section of railway 25 kilometers west of us was attacked, two artillery towers and strongholds were captured, the entire garrison was destroyed, and the railway of at least two kilometers was completely destroyed..."

The commander was in a bad mood and completely lost his sleepiness. He put on his military uniform and walked towards the war room.

The destroyed railway and the unplugged artillery tower were all marked on the sand table. The commander could tell what was going on there at a glance. His face sank and ordered: "The mobile troops drew another squadron to reinforce the battlefield, and organize manpower and material resources to repair this section of the railway as soon as possible!"

After saying that, the commander frowned and fell into deep thought.

The Zhengtai Railway has been attacked before, but no incident of two sections of railways being attacked at the same time.

He did not think it was an accident or coincidence, but a premeditated action.

"Dingling..."

The urgent phone ringing rang again, and the staff on duty changed his face and realized that something was wrong.

He picked up the microphone and listened for a minute before putting it down. He quickly walked to the commander and reported: "Commander, the railway guerrillas that we had not found before appeared again!"

"I just successfully attacked a fifteen-kilometer artillery tower to the east of us, wiped out forty-five imperial troops and imperial assistant troops, and blasted a railway of more than 600 meters long before retreating!"

"Baga!" The commander couldn't help it, clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and scolded, and then made a very sure judgment.

"This must be a premeditated large-scale attack, not an ordinary sneak attack!"

"Order all garrisons along the railway to prepare for the first-level combat, and all mobile troops will go to the railway, and patrol and guard along the railway line under the cover of armored vehicles."

"Notify all county garrisons along the route and send troops to help us defend the railway and protect the safety of the railway line."

"Also, I will immediately inform the General of my order. All the county garrisons along the railway are under the command of the General. If he cooperates, he will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

The commander of the Japanese army pacifying the garrison was resting, and he had no idea that the Zhengtai Railway had been in a mess.

It was not until the railway garrison's telegram asked for help was placed on his desk that he was awakened by his subordinates.

"A large-scale attack on the Zhengtai Railway!" After reading the telegram, the brigade commander looked confused.

Thinking of the upcoming battle to pacify and annihilate the brigade commander subconsciously connected them together.

But after thinking about it, he shook his head again.

The Punishment and Rescue Army belonged to the Second War Zone. Although they were friendly forces with the Eighth Route Army, the brigade commander had heard of the conflicts between them. Under normal circumstances, the Eighth Route Army should not have made such a big fight for a National Rescue Army.

Moreover, this large-scale attack war did not seem to have much impact on his attack on the National Salvation Army.

The Zhengtai Railway has railway garrisons to protect, and the garrisons of each county send at most troops to assist in defense, while almost all the troops attacking the National Salvation Army came from the mobile troops in Yangquan City, with minimal impact.

After thinking about it, the brigade commander rejected the judgment that this attack was related to his attack on the national rescue army.

After reading the telegram in his hand again, he ordered very seriously: "The Zhengtai Railway is very important to the Imperial Army, and there must be no accidents. Notify all county garrisons along the railway, and each garrison will draw at least one squadron to support the railway garrison."

At this time, the chief of staff of the brigade standing next to him suddenly spoke: "General, the attack on the Zhengtai Railway is indeed the railway garrison, but it will also have some impact on the encirclement and annihilation war we are about to launch!"

"According to the original combat plan, when the troops attacked, Yangquan only left one garrison. In addition, the mobile troops stationed in Yangquan with the railway garrison, the total strength of more than 1,500 people can be fully protected by Yangquan's safety and deal with some not particularly large emergencies."

"After the Eighth Route Army's attack on the Zhengtai Railway began, in order to protect the safety of the railway line, the railway garrison had just sent out all mobile troops."

"Now there is no mobile force under the Railway Guard Team to assist in the defense of Yangquan. If we still mobilize troops according to the original plan, Yangquan will only be able to leave a garrison of five or six hundred people. If there is any accident, this force will definitely not be an enemy opponent!"

"And the garrison must also divide a squadron into its forces to assist in the defense of the Zhengtai Railway, and in the end the number of troops left behind in the county town is even smaller. General, you have to consider this issue!"

The brigade commander thought that it was really the case, and his face suddenly fell down, but after all, he was a brigade commander, and his face quickly calmed down. Then he ordered: "According to the scheduled combat plan, the total force we participated in the attack was about four times that of the National Salvation Army. If one thousand people were reduced, he would have more than three times the strength advantage, which would have almost no impact on the battle situation."

"Chief of Staff, please arrange it. Leave an infantry brigade to assist the garrison in defending the county town. Other troops will continue to implement the original combat plan and reinforce and pacify!"

The Chief of Staff immediately received the order: "General is wise! Let's arrange the humble position now!"
