Wang Xuexin intentionally guided the Japanese to build railways, not just to fill a channel for tanks to enter.
Because this passage is too narrow, only a few dozen meters wide.
This width was easily blocked by Japanese artillery fire.
If the artillery of the Jinsui Army can assist the Eighth Route Army in fighting as planned, then the Eighth Route Army will certainly have hope of entering the city.
The problem is that Wang Xuexin thinks that the Jinsui Army will not be so easy to talk to, and they will always want to make the Eighth Route Army shed some blood.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that he can only rely on himself.
Therefore, Wang Xuexin's first thought was to use a train to break open the city gate.
Not only do we need to use a train to break open the city gate, but we also need to transport a few tanks into the city. In this way, the inside and the outside are coordinated... and nothing can stop the tank battalion.
Responsible for the capture of the train was Monk's reconnaissance company.
At first, when Wang Xuexin assigned this task to the monk, the monk was not very happy.
"Battal Commander, you are not being kind!" The monk curled his lips and said: "The comrades are all going to Yuncheng to fight, but you ask me to rob the train! Do you want our reconnaissance company to do this? Let the guerrillas
Isn’t it possible to do it? They do this all the time, so it will definitely happen..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Wang Xuexin interrupted the monk impatiently: "I say, monk, the right way is to nourish soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while. Usually, I feed your reconnaissance company with good food and drink, but now I want you to carry out your mission.
If this doesn’t work, who have any objections? You just say, do it or not. If you don’t do it, then you, the company commander, don’t do it and let Shi Sha take over!”
"No, battalion commander!" The monk immediately put on a smile: "Isn't that what I'm talking about? Do it, of course you have to do it! I promise to complete the mission!"
The monk has this kind of temper, he is single-minded, and no matter what he does, he always wants to be happy and straightforward.
However, if the mission is really arranged, he can carry it out seriously. In addition, he is a brave and talented person who is suitable for the mission of the reconnaissance company. Otherwise, Wang Xuexin would have withdrawn him long ago.
Then as he talked, the monk became happy again.
"So that's what happened!" The monk happily touched his forehead: "Battal Commander, you said you were hitting the city gate with a locomotive, but I also said you were just grabbing a train to transport things? You said you were hitting the city gate,
How can I not do it?"
Wang Xuexin raised his hand and gave the monk a few blows on the head: "If we are transporting things by train, do you still need your reconnaissance company? The guerrillas can't transport it? You are not allowed to do this or that in the future. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" the monk agreed with a smile.
This mission was nothing to the reconnaissance company, especially since they were accompanied by three Japanese tanks.
The reconnaissance company was separated from the main force at Longfengping.
They put on Japanese military uniforms, drove tanks, sat in cars and shoulder bags, and marched swaggering eastward... More than thirty miles to the east they reached the railway line, where they could intercept the train.
Due to the excellent camouflage of the scouts, coupled with the fact that they were both tanks and cars, several Japanese maintenance personnel were also driven together on the march... Being able to meet the Japanese and deal with tank failures on the road was really the best of both worlds.
In this way, we can reach the railway line smoothly.
When they arrived, they prepared two small flags, and the tank went to one stop on both sides of the railway, pointing its black barrel at the middle of the railway, and just waited.
As soon as the train came up, the little man holding the flag waved the flag and whistled in the direction of the train.
When the train driver saw this battle, there was no reason to stop.
When they stopped, they asked the Japanese technicians to go up and talk, saying that there was a war in Yuncheng and the railway was impassable, so the trains were temporarily requisitioned to transport tanks and troops... In fact, the battle in Yuncheng had not yet started, and the supplies on the trains could still be transported to Yuncheng.
But how could the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were responsible for protecting the train know this? They let the train out without saying a word. Several Japanese soldiers asked for help and said they wanted to go to Yuncheng with the troops.
The Japs were quite spirited, and of course the monk couldn't bear to refuse, so he nodded and took them with him.
However, these "brave" Japanese soldiers failed to reach Yuncheng in the end.
On the way to Yuncheng, the monks broke their necks and threw them to the railway.
When approaching Yuncheng, the monk was ready at the train connection...
If the locomotive hits the city gate, it will most likely derail.
If the locomotive derails and the carriage behind it is still connected, it will inevitably derail with the carriage.
Therefore, the front and the compartment must be separated at the last moment.
It's just that the monks separated a little late. The train car rushed into the city with too much force and hit the locomotive that was already lying on the railway along the railway. It knocked the scout soldiers to pieces.
fell to the ground.
The monk was so agile that he rolled a few times on the spot to remove the momentum. Then he turned over and shouted: "Get up, don't let the devils get close!"
As he spoke, he raised his submachine gun and mopped down several Japanese soldiers next to the car with one stroke.
As soon as the soldiers got the order, they got up from the ground, raised their guns and shot at the Japanese on both sides.
The tank in the middle of the carriage adjusted its muzzle, and with a "bang" blasted the car that the Japanese were transporting ammunition into the sky. The machine gun also fired a hail of bullets at the charging Japanese, harvesting these invaders like a scythe of death.
the person’s life.
Kenji Ikegami didn't react until this moment. He drew his command sword and waved it at the carriage that rushed hundreds of meters into the city. He shouted hysterically: "Destroy them and seal the city gate!"
Kenji Ikegami knows what will happen if this continues.
The city gate has been broken down by a train... It doesn't matter that the city gate was broken through. What is important is that the fortifications deployed by Kenji Chigami behind the city gate were completely destroyed by the train.
Sandbags, artillery, machine gun fire, etc., nine out of ten of them were gone as soon as the locomotive scanned the side, and now a group of Eighth Route Army troops and three tanks came in from the rear carriage to fight... Not to mention the heavy casualties of the imperial soldiers.
, the city gate will also lose control.
If the city gate loses control, Eighth Route Army troops and tanks will pour in continuously from the city gate, and then nothing can stop them.
Therefore, there is only one chance now, which is to eliminate these three carriages and reorganize the city gate's defense or block it.
But it's not easy to do this...
The reconnaissance company had brought enough ammunition. After all, they were taking a car and then a train. It was easy to bring more ammunition, so the bullets poured out in sheets as if they were free, and the grenades were fired in rows.
On the other hand, it was not that easy for the Japanese to hit the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the carriage.
Because before the reconnaissance company arrived, sandbags were placed on both sides of the train car, and the train had turned into a trench...
In other words, this train has become an armored train, an armored train equipped with tanks.
