With the help of the swordsmen, a guerrilla group of more than 000 people quietly bypassed the Japanese and puppet army sentries and patrols and arrived at the outskirts of Baoding Railway Station.
Baoding was the rear area of the Japanese army in North China and was a public security area. There were almost no battles here, so the Japanese army was not very well-defended.
There is only one squadron of Japanese gendarmerie in the city, and only one squadron of Japanese military police at Baoding Railway Station.
From the outside, it looks like there are not many Japanese inside Baoding Railway Station, but the members of the Sharp Sword Squadron know that the Japanese defense is loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
With this guerrilla force of 100 people and no heavy firepower, it is naturally difficult to attack Baoding Railway Station in a short period of time.
However, the Sword Squadron brought a rocket launcher, but there were a few rockets, only 9.
But for the members of the Sharp Sword, whose swords are almost always accurate, a small train station is enough.
At one o'clock in the morning, the swordsmen and guerrillas launched an attack on Baoding Railway Station on time.
As soon as the fighting began, the guerrillas blew up the tracks leading into and out of the train station to prevent the Japanese troops from escaping.
The Sharp Sword team members, led by Li Changshun and Duan Peng, first used bazooka rocket launchers to remove the bunkers and gun towers in the train station.
Immediately, the guerrillas broke into the train station and started fighting with the Japanese. After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the guerrillas succeeded in blowing up a Japanese military column parked in Baoding Station at the cost of more than 1,000 tons of ammunition and supplies, and then retreated.
The sound of explosions and flames turned into ashes in the clouds.
If a company from a new regiment comes to do this job, the battle can be over in 10 minutes at most.
Without the help of the swordsmen, it would be difficult for this guerrilla group to complete the task of seizing the train station and blowing up the military columns in more than half an hour.
Of course, unless the entire Sharp Sword Squadron comes, it will be difficult for just a few Sharp Sword players to complete this task.
Although more than 00 people were sacrificed, the sacrifice of more than 00 people was worth it.
…
Something happened at Baoding Railway Station.
Who was the first to know?
Of course it was Yoshio Shinozuka, commander of the First Army.
Baoding Railway Station is at the rear of North China. The Japanese thought it was very safe, so they parked a military train loaded with ammunition and supplies in Baoding.
The first military column was robbed by the Eighth Route Army. Although Yoshio Shinozuka was very angry, after all, it had happened and it was useless to regret it.
There was an opportunity for the 9th Flying Squadron to blow up supplies, but the opportunity was missed due to the defeat of the 13th Cavalry Regiment.
He shifted all the responsibility for the robbery of the military column to the 13th Cavalry Regiment.
Because the 13th Cavalry Regiment was too useless, the military column was successfully robbed by the Eighth Route Army.
"What did you say?"
At this time, in the Japanese military headquarters, Yoshio Shinozuka, who was woken up in the middle of the night, said with a shocked voice and a face full of disbelief: "The ammunition and supplies of the military column in Baoding were blown up?"
The base camp gave the first batch of 3,000 tons of ammunition to the First Army, but the First Army did not receive not only a single bullet, but also a single artillery shell.
Instead, most of the cavalry regiment and many elite soldiers were lost.
Fortunately, Baoding was the defense area of the 1st Army, so the responsibility for the bombing of this military column of ammunition and supplies did not fall on Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Yes!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi's face looked as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly. "At two o'clock this morning, Baoding Station was suddenly attacked by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the army's supplies were blown up.
The entire train station was also blown up."
Thousands of tons of ammunition and supplies exploded at the same time. The noise was extraordinary, and not a single blade of grass grew within a few hundred meters.
The expression on Yoshio Shinozuka's face was as uncomfortable as constipation.
Although he does not have to bear the responsibility for the bombing of ammunition and supplies in the army column, these are ammunition and supplies belonging to the First Army.
3,000 tons of ammunition and supplies were just gone, and Yoshio Shinozuka felt his heart bleed.
Suddenly, Shinozuka Yoshio saw a telegram in Kusuyama Hideyoshi's hand, and asked: "Kusuyama-kun, who sent the telegram in your hand?"
Kusuyama Hideyoshi drew back his hand. This was a clear telegram sent by Li Yunlong of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army. He was still considering whether he should show it to Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Your Excellency, Commander." Kusuyama Hideyoshi said hesitantly, "This is a clear telegram sent to you by Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army."
"Really?" Shinozuka Yoshio's expression changed and he asked, "Li Yunlong sent me the telegram. What did he say?"
"Your Excellency, Commander," Kusuyama Hideyoshi said, "I suggest you don't look at it."
When Kusuyama Hideyoshi said this, Yoshio Shinozuka became even more curious. Although Li Yunlong was just a little-known and minor role in the past, the losses Li Yunlong caused to the Japanese army over the past year and more have made Li Yunlong different from what he used to be.
The First Army Headquarters has raised Li Yunlong's danger level to the level of Eighth Route Army division commander.
Li Yunlong actually sent him a telegram explicitly. Yoshio Shinozuka was very curious, what could Li Yunlong spit out from his mouth?
"Kusuyama-kun, give me the telegram!" Shinozuka Yoshio said in a deep voice, while extending his right hand forward.
"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi did not dare to refuse, and handed over the telegram respectfully with both hands.
Although the clear code telegram was sent in Chinese, the Japanese decoders had already translated it into Japanese.
Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the telegram and saw that it read: Thank you Comrade Yoshio Shinozuka, captain of the Eighth Route Army Transportation Brigade, for sending ammunition, supplies, horses and equipment to the Eighth Route Army. Thank you Comrade Yoshio Shinozuka for providing the military train at Baoding Railway Station.
Such information, the telegram ended with a special thank you to Comrade Yoshio Shinozuka, and was signed Li Yunlong.
This telegram not only referred to Yoshio Shinozuka as the transportation brigade captain of the Eighth Route Army, but also pointed out that it was Yoshio Shinozuka who provided the information about the military columns at Baoding Railway Station to the Eighth Route Army.
"Damn it!" After reading the telegram, Yoshio Shinozuka angrily tore the telegram newspaper into pieces.
After reading this telegram, it was a minor embarrassment. The main thing was that Yoshio Shinozuka suddenly felt like there was yellow mud on his crotch, and it felt like shit or shit.
Looking at Shinozuka Yoshio, Kusuyama Hideyoshi also had a moment of confusion in his expression. Could it be that the commander is really the traitor?
It seems that this is the only explanation that makes sense...
But Kusuyama Hideyoshi soon threw this idea out of his mind. How could the commander of the First Army be a traitor?
"Call Li Yunlong back with a clear code and ask him to wash his neck. Sooner or later I will cut off his head."
Although it was very shameful for the dignified commander of the Japanese First Army to reply to the commander of the Eighth Route Army, if he did not reply to such a telegram, others might mistakenly think that he, Yoshio Shinozuka, was really the transportation brigade captain of the Eighth Route Army.
"Hi!" Kusuyama Hideyoshi hurriedly walked out.
After a while, Kusuyama Hideyoshi hurried back and said after a pause: "Your Excellency, Commander, Commander Tada Shun of the North China Front would like to speak to you."
The Eighth Route Army sent a clear telegram, and the North China Front Army Headquarters should also have received this telegram.
Yoshio Shinozuka looked ugly. How should he explain to Commander Tada now?
At that moment, Yoshio Shinozuka had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk to the communications room.
…
Kenanpo, World War II District Chief's Department.
Yan Xishan got up early.
After all, Yan Laoxi is a man who can dance on three eggs.
His fighting ability is not very good, but his ability to make mistakes is not weak, and he is also very stingy.
At this time he was sitting behind his desk drinking tea.
Yang Zhenji, the head of the Intelligence Division, held a telegram in his hand, walked in, gave a military salute, and said to Yan Xishan: "General Manager, Li Yunlong of the Eighth Route Army sent a clear code to the commander of the Japanese First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, in the middle of last night.
telegraph."
"What do you mean, Li Yunlong sent a telegram to Yoshio Shinozuka?"
Yan Xishan's face suddenly became interested. Is Li Yunlong going to join the Japanese army?
Li Yunlong led his troops to wipe out the Japanese 9th Brigade. The name Li Yunlong impressed Yan Xishan deeply. He dreamed of having such a powerful general.
"What did Li Yunlong say in the telegram?" Yan Xishan asked.
"General seat, I can't explain my position in a few words, so you should read it yourself." Yang Zhenji held back a smile and handed the telegram to Yan Xishan.
Yan Xishan's curiosity became even more intense now. He took the telegram and read it. The more he read, the more his eyes widened.
What Yang Zhenji saw was the plot Li Yunlong used to alienate the Japanese, while what Yan Xishan saw was the Eighth Route Army's seizure of 1,000 tons of ammunition and supplies and 800 sets of horse equipment.
"How is it possible?" Yan Xishan said with a frustrated look, "How is it possible? How is it possible that the Eighth Route Army robbed the Japanese army?"
"This is 1,000 tons of ammunition and supplies, and more than 800 Japanese horses."
"How is it possible that 1,000 tons of ammunition and supplies and 800 Japanese horses were actually snatched away by the Eighth Route Army?"
"Didn't the Japanese army increase the strength of two infantry brigades and one division in Shanxi? Why did they let the Eighth Route Army steal 1,000 tons of ammunition and supplies?"
"Are the Japanese soldiers just a bunch of stupid pigs?"
Yan Xishan was jealous when he saw this telegram.
What if these 1,000 tons of supplies and more than 800 military horses were snatched by the Jinsui Army...
It seems that the Jinsui Army has 8 army numbers, with an army of hundreds of thousands, but Yan Xishan knows very well that the Jinsui Army does not have as many as hundreds of thousands at all.
The actual strength of the Jinsui Army was only half, not even half.
The practice of empty pay is common in the Jinsui Army. Some units are called a division, but in fact they only have more than 3,000 people.
The only exception is the 38th Regiment. Chu Yunfei is a talented person who can lead troops to fight. Although the 38th Regiment is just a regiment designation, Yan Xishan assigned Chu Yunfei the personnel and equipment of a brigade.
At this point in time, there was still one year before the outbreak of the Pacific War, and the Nationalist Government had only a small amount of external assistance, let alone its Shanxi-Sui Army.
At this time, the ammunition supply of the Jinsui Army could only rely on the arsenal withdrawn from Taiyuan to survive.
However, only a small part of the equipment and raw materials were withdrawn, and most of them were left to the Japanese. Now the arsenal of the Jinsui Army can only be regarded as a small workshop, and life is very difficult.
Yan Laoxi was really jealous when he saw that the Eighth Route Army had seized 1,000 tons of ammunition and supplies from the Japanese.
"1,000 tons of ammunition and supplies, more than 800 Japanese military horses..."
Yan Xishan was silent for a long time, and then imitated Principal Chang and cursed bitterly: "Mother Xipi!"
