The headquarters of the New Regiment is located at a post outside the Jiangyangfu Textile Factory.
In fact, the so-called "regiment headquarters" does not have to be a house and a desk as ordinary people imagine.
The regiment headquarters is actually the radio station on the back of the communications corps. The regiment headquarters is located wherever the radio station is. The regiment commander and staff can use the radio to contact their superiors to accept tasks, and then use the communications corps to issue orders and direct the troops to fight. This is the regiment headquarters.
As soon as the monk and Shi Sha entered the regiment headquarters, Ding Wei handed the monk a telegram, saying: "This is a new task given to you by your battalion commander."
The monk took it and was delighted when he saw it, and shouted: "Good fellow, now we are fighting an armored train. This is more enjoyable than fighting a train!"
"Are you confident to complete the task?" Ding Wei asked these questions on behalf of Wang Xuexin. These words do not need to be circulated on the radio to take up precious communication time.
The monk stepped forward without thinking: "Yes!"
"What is there?!" Ding Wei became angry when he saw the monk like this: "Do you know what an armored train is?"
"Report to Captain Ding!" The monk said disdainfully: "No matter what kind of train it is, as long as it is a train, it cannot be separated from the rails. Let's put some explosives in the rails and wait for the armored train to come with a 'boom' sound."
It’s over? What’s so difficult about this?”
Ding Wei handed over another telegram and said: "I knew you would say that, look at this!"
The monk and Shi Sha used the dim light to get closer and take a look, and then they were dumbfounded: "Must it be captured?"
Shi Sha had been a puppet soldier before and had some knowledge of the Japanese's armored trains. After seeing this order, he hurriedly said to Ding Wei: "Captain, this armored train... the door is closed tightly during the battle, even
Even the wind can't penetrate, this person can't get in, how can we capture him?"
What Shi Sha said is true.
The armored train is more like a tank, but it is a tank that uses railways to maneuver.
If there are any gaps, they are machine gun perforations and cannon holes, and there are some observation holes on the roof that are convenient for enemy soldiers to observe and shoot.
But these observation holes are very small, and unless you can shrink your bones, you will definitely not be able to get in.
Ding Wei did not explain much. He looked at the map on the shell box and said: "The situation is like this. The enemy's armored train is just stuck in the middle of the railway line between Jiangyangfu and Yuncheng. If our train is going back to Yuncheng...
"
As he spoke, Ding Wei raised his head in the direction of the train station, and then continued: "The only way is to capture the armored train and use it to clear the way. Otherwise, it will block the middle of the railway and prevent our army's train from moving. Do you understand?"
The monk and Shi Sha couldn't help but look at each other.
I understand, I understand, but the key point is how to capture this iron bastard.
Shi Sha thought for a while and then said awkwardly: "Captain, what we want is not just a seizure, but also a silent seizure. Otherwise, if the noise becomes big, the Japanese will definitely know that the armored train is in the hands of our army."
The railway will be blocked and intercepted, and then even the train will not be able to move!"
Shi Sha was right. Wang Xuexin, who was commanding in Yuncheng on the other side, also thought of this problem.
The first thing he wanted was for the reconnaissance company to carry out special operations to seize the armored train.
This is what the reconnaissance company does. Although it is difficult, it is not completely impossible.
But when I thought about it more carefully, I felt that doing so would not help the plan at all.
The main reason is that there must be communication equipment on the armored train. No matter how fast the reconnaissance company moves, it is impossible to capture the armored train before it communicates with the outside world.
Grain bite
Once the armored train made contact with the outside world, the Japanese knew that the armored train had fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
It's not hard to guess what happens next.
Although the Japanese did not know that the train was in the hands of the Eighth Route Army, but knowing that the armored train had been captured, the Japanese would still prevent the armored train from passing by digging up the railway or setting up roadblocks, and stopped the train altogether.
So the end result is still the same, it just doesn't work.
Therefore, seizure cannot solve the problem, and it is also unrealistic. To solve the problem, the Japanese must be kept unaware.
Thinking about it, Wang Xuexin's eyes searched along the railway line on the map, and then settled on a place called Liancheng transfer station, thinking about whether he could use this transfer station to do some work.
After a while, Wang Xuexin stood up suddenly and ordered Chen Songyong: "Send a report to the New Regiment. The reconnaissance company changed its mission and changed it to a secret raid company to form a transfer station, and maintain normal communications at the transfer station! "
The order was quickly passed to the headquarters of the new regiment.
Shi Sha secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he read the telegram. This was much easier than capturing the armored train.
The monk looked a little strange and asked: "Transfer station? What's the use of laying down this transfer station? The armored train is still south of us, isn't it?"
The monk is right, because the Liancheng transfer station is close to Jiangyangfu, more than 20 kilometers away from Jiangyangfu, and the armored train is to the south of the Liancheng transfer station.
As long as the armored train is south of the train, the train cannot pass by, and the transfer station is meaningless, because the armored train cannot actively drive here to let the train pass.
Ding Wei frowned and said: "Battle Commander Wang's order should have its own reason, but we haven't thought of it yet..."
Before he finished speaking, another telegram came. Wang Xuexin explained the plan: "After seizing the transfer station, stop the train at the transfer station, and then attract the armored train to go north!"
Ding Wei couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a great idea. As soon as the Japanese armored train passes through the transfer station and is bombed or surrendered, it will follow us?"
Then he turned around and asked, "Do you understand?"
"Understood!" The monk and Shi Sha nodded in unison.
The chief also got Wang Xuexin's plan almost at the same time. He chuckled and said: "It's not simple. I came up with this method so quickly. It is very feasible and highly concealable. It is right to leave this operation to Xiao Dongbei." oh!"
The chief of staff looked at the map and said worriedly: "Captain, time is a little tight!"
"How do you say that?" The chief was a little confused. Jiang Yangfu had bought a few hours, so he shouldn't be nervous.
The chief of staff explained: "The problem lies with the Yuncheng counterattack."
The chief of staff pointed at Yuncheng: "Once the Yuncheng direction, that is, the independent regiment launches a counterattack, this big battle is likely to attract armored trains to the direction of Yuncheng for reinforcements. This is contrary to attracting armored trains to go north."
The leader nodded. This is the so-called "moving one hair can affect the whole body".
In order for the armored train to go north instead of blocking the way south, it means that the Yuncheng counterattack time needs to be postponed.
Will the independent regiment have enough time to defeat the frontal enemy and open the last barrier for the train?
