The railway running through the Jixi Military Region is somewhat different.
This is between Shimen and Baoding. It is a very important traffic artery for the Japanese invaders.
If this section of the railway is cut off, it will mean that the Shotai Line will also be paralyzed. The most important transportation lines in Taiyuan and Pingjin will also lose their functions.
Obviously, this is absolutely unacceptable to the Japanese invaders.
Therefore, the Japanese invaders stationed a large number of troops in Shimen, Zhengding, Baoding and other places along the railway.
Even if the 108th and 109th Divisions are transferred, the number of garrison troops in various places will still be very large.
Shimen has an independent mixed brigade.
There is a regiment in Zhengding.
Baoding also has an independent mixed brigade.
Such a strong force can be said to be one post per three steps, and one sentry per five steps.
Even though the situation in Jin Province was very tight, the garrison was not transferred.
Because the Japanese invaders themselves knew very well that once the garrison was transferred and the railway lines were cut off, the situation in Jin Province would only get worse.
"So many gun towers..."
"Still so strong..."
Zhang Chu held up a telescope and observed from a distance.
It is indeed a railway section that was protected by the Japanese invaders. It was even more tightly guarded than the Shota Line.
Both sides of the Zhengtai Line only need to be protected by gun towers.
The section of railway in front of Zhang Chu was protected by strongholds.
There is a stronghold every three kilometers.
There is a small team of Japanese invaders stationed in the stronghold, as well as some puppet troops.
The garrison strength alone is quite large.
No wonder the Japanese invaders would complain all day about the lack of troops in the later period. It was really the garrison that was consuming too many troops.
Facts have proved that the activities of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army behind enemy lines indeed restrained a large number of Japanese invaders, forcing the Japanese invaders to be unable to mobilize more troops for frontline attacks.
Otherwise, if the Japanese invaders transfer all the troops from the rear to the front, Chongqing will definitely not be able to defend it.
When the Japanese 11th Army was at its strongest, it numbered just over 200,000 people. However, the number of Japanese invaders held back by the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army numbered 4 to 50,000.
If the four to five million Japanese invaders were freed and strengthened into the 11th Army, or more armies were formed, how could Chongqing be able to defend it?
In the later period of 44 years, there was a great defeat of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi.
"right!"
"The stronghold is difficult to defeat!"
"They are all made of reinforced concrete! Very strong!"
Fang Yingying shook his head repeatedly.
Unlike the strongholds in other places, the Japanese invaders spent a lot of money on the strongholds on important railway lines.
There are not many troops stationed there, but the stronghold is very strong. Ordinary infantry artillery cannot explode it.
Even a 75mm mountain gun requires several rounds of shells.
"Reinforced concrete……"
"Really solid..."
Zhang Chu talked to himself silently.
It seems that the 75mm field gun is not easy to use.
what to do?
Rocket launcher?
Sorry. No.
But it doesn't matter. The rocket launcher is useless. There are still 88 guns!
In front of the famous 88 gun, what fortifications can stop it? Unless it is a pervert like the Berlin anti-aircraft tower...
"what to do?"
"Hold on……"
Zhang Chu was calm and relaxed.
Don't be in a hurry. Take a rest first. If you have something to eat, you can get some to fill your stomach first.
By the time the 88 cannon arrives, these strongholds will be in ruins.
Unfortunately, the 50mm main gun of the Panzer III is a small water pipe and has insufficient destructive power against reinforced concrete.
If it is a later King Tiger, it will be powerful if it is equipped with 88 guns.
Wait patiently.
Everyone stopped to rest.
Except for Fang Yingying and a few guerrillas, everyone else was calm.
Even if the Japanese invaders are surrounding me now, I don't feel that I'm afraid.
Including the little girl Mingyue.
When not fighting, she is quite active.
Not raw at all.
He also came to Zhang Chu generously with two pancakes in hand.
"Thanks!"
Zhang Chu reached out and took it.
This little girl feels very special!
In such a strange environment, I feel at ease, and I seem to be familiar with everyone.
Sheniu in the sky?
"Are two enough? If not, I will give you another one."
"It seems you only have two."
"I have a small appetite. Just one is enough."
"You won't give it to others?"
"I see that you are the most handsome and the most capable. Of course I give it to you."
"Thanks!"
Zhang Chu blushed.
I'm not used to being flattered so blatantly by a girl.
By the way, are all the Ming family so awesome?
Not afraid of people at all?
"Wave to me when you want it. I'll keep it for you."
"No. Thank you!"
"You don't have to be ashamed. I'm not going to marry you!"
"ah……"
Zhang Chu stretched out his hand.
Get her pancakes.
That's all right.
Sure enough, she happily hid away.
When nothing happens, she is indeed very well-behaved. When fighting, she also hides well and will not cause trouble to others.
"What is she here for?" Zhang Chu asked Han Bing curiously.
"Go to Liaodong." Han Bing replied.
"What?"
"We want to take her to Liaodong."
"do what?"
"Get on the ship from Liaodong and go back to Shanghai."
"ah?"
Zhang Chu was stunned.
What is this operation?
Boarding from Liaodong?
Isn’t it possible to board the ship elsewhere?
For example...
Shandong.
Shandong also has a port!
Why do we have to sacrifice the near for the far? So hard to go around in a circle...
"Not anywhere else."
"Only when we return from Liaodong can we avoid arousing suspicion."
Han Bing explained.
Zhang Chu tilted his head and thought for a while. He couldn't figure it out.
I don’t bother to ask what the specific explanation is. In short, she is going to Liaodong, and she is going to Liaodong...
Just on the way.
First from Jixi to Pingxi, then from Pingxi to Jidong, then from Jidong to Liaodong...
This is the route.
As for how long it will take, I don't know.
If you travel all the way, you may not be able to get there in a year or a half.
But it doesn't matter.
He has plenty of time.
Walking all the way, helping the Eighth Route Army to upgrade, maybe just walking, it will already be August 15, 1945...
"Is she really from the Ming family?" She couldn't help but gossip again.
"Yes." Han Bing answered briefly.
Zhang Chu didn't ask any more questions.
Obviously, this has been verified by the organization. If it is fake, it will be replaced.
This quail-like girl named Mingyue is the second young lady of the Ming family and the younger sister of the three Tibetan mastiffs.
"The Ming family didn't send anyone to look for them?"
"This second young lady said she went to the United States to study and ran away halfway. Even the Ming family doesn't know yet!"
"impossible……"
"She bought a boat ticket. Once she got on the boat, it would take two months to reach the other side of the ocean."
"oh……"
Zhang Chu understood.
That’s what happened.
Shipping at that time was indeed very slow.
After boarding the ship, it was difficult to communicate with the mainland.
Even the Ming family cannot keep track of the second lady's movements at all times.
This is not like Mingtai taking a plane to Hong Kong to study. The plane will land a few hours later. If no one is picked up, you will immediately find something wrong.
"How long has it been since she left the ship?"
"Exactly one month."
"That's another month?"
"Two months."
"oh."
Zhang Chu nodded silently.
In fact, he didn't understand the operation inside. He was just curious.
After all, spy dramas are always the most attractive. What’s going on is the heartbeat. Every minute is a tightrope.
Just as he was about to speak, Fang Yingying hurried over.
