Wang Chengzhu was an activist. Since he had decided to rob the Japanese train, he immediately made arrangements. On the one hand, he ordered Wang Shugen to lead his troops out of the train station to set up an ambush and destroy the railway. On the other hand, he called deputy platoon leader Xu Hailang and asked him to immediately

Transform and integrate the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion, and then lead the army horses to the train station.

If you have a carriage, it is best to bring a carriage with you.

Because a trainload of supplies is not a small amount of money.

It would be difficult for the artillery platoon soldiers alone to carry all these trophies back.

What's more, the raid on the Wanjia Town Cavalry Camp and the ambush of the Futian Squadron had already captured a large amount of loot.

As for the principle of recruitment, it is still entirely based on voluntariness. Those who are willing to stay can stay, and those who are not willing to stay will be sent away.

Of course, those who have committed heinous crimes, bullied, tortured and killed ordinary people, or killed the Eighth Route Army will be directly shot.

Among them, the cavalry battalion commander Zhu Dachang is a guy who has been in the fish and meat village for many years and has done all kinds of bad things.

He was the first to be shot.

As Zhu Dachang's adjutant, Wang Jie also did many things to help the emperor do evil, and of course he was shot.

In addition, 15 people in the cavalry battalion committed capital crimes.

As for other people, although they have committed some crimes to a greater or lesser extent, their crimes are not worthy of death.

Under special circumstances and special treatment, it was naturally impossible for Xu Hailang to shoot them all. The main focus was on ideological education.

In the end, there were more than 300 people in the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion. Except for 17 who were shot and 11 who decided to disarm and return to their fields and were dismissed, the rest all voluntarily joined the Eighth Route Army.

It's not that their ideological consciousness is so high that they suddenly woke up, but that these guys want to make a living.

There is no way, in this era when human life is at stake, it is very difficult to survive, let alone have enough to eat.

This is also the fundamental reason why many people choose to join the army or become traitors...

Talk about both ends.

When Xu Hailang incorporated the Wanjia Town Cavalry Battalion, Wang Shugen also completed the destruction of the railway tracks and led his troops to ambush on both sides of the railway tracks.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the Japanese train loaded with supplies to arrive.

Time passed minute by minute.

Soon it came to 2 o'clock in the morning.

Not long after, a bright light shone from far away on the railway track.

Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of the train's whistle as it prepared to enter the station, and the sound of the train running and the metal collision of wheels rolling against the rails.

"Coming!"

Seeing this, the soldiers in the artillery platoon immediately cheered up.

What Wang Chengzhu didn't know was that this was a supply train bound for southern Shanxi. It was specially supplied by Yoshio Shinozuka to the Japanese garrison there in order to deal with the Central Army in southern Shanxi.

This means that Wang Chengzhu directly grabbed Yoshio Shinozuka.

Of course, if Wang Chengzhu knew about it, he would only be more excited.

"Woooooooo..."

"Kuangchi, kuangchi, kuangchi..."

The sound became more and more harsh, and the train got closer and closer, and soon it reached the immobilized railway track. In the next moment, the entire train derailed directly.

"Bangdang——"

"Chi chi chi!——"

The train fell heavily to the ground. The huge body of the train gave the train a lot of inertial force, and it slid for a long distance. It didn't stop until it landed heavily in the wasteland next to it.

Coal poured out from under the boiler at the front of the locomotive. For a moment, dust was flying and fire was everywhere.

The supplies in the carriage were scattered all over the floor.

There are boxes and boxes of Type 38 rifles, and boxes and boxes of crooked-handled light machine guns, as well as brand-new Type 92 heavy machine guns, brand-new grenades and small steel cannons (Type 97 light mortars).

), in addition, Wang Chengzhu even saw a Type 92 infantry cannon. His heart ached, don't let these sophisticated equipment go to waste.

At that moment, Wang Chengzhu could only pour out his anger on the little devil in the train, and immediately raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, kill me!"

Upon hearing the order, the artillery platoon soldiers lying in ambush on both sides immediately swarmed up and opened fire on the Japanese transport team who were not yet dead in the train.

"Bah bang bang!"

"Tu tu tu tu!——"

The Japanese on the train had already been beaten to pieces because the train rolled over. They either had their limbs broken or their heads were hit.

Some of the unlucky ones were even thrown out of the train, or died directly in the carriage.

Right now, these devils are just like a bunch of lambs waiting to be slaughtered, with almost no resistance at all.

"Puff puff puff..."

The Japs rarely surrendered, and Wang Chengzhu did not need Japs to take prisoners.

Therefore, when firing, the soldiers in the artillery platoon were not lenient at all, regardless of whether they were alive or dead. They would burst into flames when they saw the Japanese.

The whole battle was a massacre!

Except for a few wasted bullets, there were almost no casualties.

This train has seven cars in total. Except for the front car and the car where the Japanese transport team rests, the other five cars are filled with supplies.

Since the train rolled over, a lot of supplies in the carriages have been thrown out, so you can know what is in each carriage without opening it.

Among them, the first freight car contained guns, including the Southern Type 14 pistol, which was the notorious box that even the Japanese officers despised.

In addition, there are Type 38 rifles, crooked light machine guns, and Type 92 heavy machine guns.

All the guns combined can almost equip a regiment. It is a pity that there are only 4 Type 92 heavy machine guns, and one of them was broken.

The second freight car contains artillery, mainly 50mm caliber grenade launchers and Type 97 light mortars, of which there are only two Type 92 infantry guns.

With these artillery pieces, the artillery platoon can finally be called a real artillery platoon, but this artillery platoon has been slightly strengthened and has more troops.

The third freight car was loaded with various guns and artillery shells, in addition to some melon-style grenades.

The fourth and fifth freight cars contained logistical supplies, including flour, rice, pork, various types of cans, as well as military uniforms, military boots, bedding, etc.

Looking at the trophies in several carriages, Wang Shugen's eyes widened with excitement: "Platoon commander, our Eighth Route Army has never been so wealthy. Not to mention guns, there are so many artillery pieces!"

In fact, it is not surprising that Wang Shugen was so excited. Although the Eighth Route Army was nominally the 18th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, it was led by the National Government.

But after all, he was raised by his stepmother, and the weapons, equipment and supplies he was given were quite limited, which was not enough to support the Eighth Route Army's combat expenditure.

By the middle and late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, it was almost gone.

As for the new regiment, Li Yunlong will still develop it, and it will only have one mortar, nothing more.

Not only that, the Eighth Route Army was also very short of guns and ammunition.

Many soldiers don't even have guns and can only carry red tassel guns and swords. Even if they have guns, they only have a few bullets.

After the bullets are fired, go up and fight with the bayonet.

The lack of supplies meant that the Eighth Route Army had no spare bullets to practice shooting, and coupled with the lack of food to eat, the soldiers were malnourished.

The combination of various factors resulted in the Eighth Route Army's individual combat effectiveness, whether it was marksmanship or stabbing, being far inferior to that of the little Japanese.

Every time we fight, we can only pay for human lives in the end. Even if we win the battle, the damage often far exceeds that of the little devil, or even several times that of the little devil.
Chapter completed!
