Needless to say, what happened at the Liancheng transfer station? The monks and the soldiers took over the control room, communication room, and two gun towers on the left and right in an orderly manner. Then they suddenly launched an attack and controlled all the Japanese and Japanese.
puppet army.
The Japanese team leader was still confused when the gun was pointed at his head, and asked loudly: "What's going on?"
In fact, the team leader already knew in his heart that he had been deceived, but he just didn't want to admit it or couldn't believe it for the moment.
The monk didn't bother to pay attention to the Japanese who could only speak half-tone Chinese dialect, so he hit him with the butt of his rifle and knocked him unconscious.
This immediately frightened the other prisoners, and immediately some puppet soldiers were trembling and begging: "Sir, the Chinese will not fight the Chinese, we surrender, the Eighth... The Eighth Route Army treats the prisoners preferentially..."
The monk raised his chin, glanced at the prisoner with a murderous look, and said: "Don't do this, I have something to say first. We are a reconnaissance company. The reconnaissance company does not have the discipline of 'treating prisoners preferentially'. Our subordinates usually
No one left alive!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the prisoners looked frightened.
They knew what the monk said was true.
The situation of the reconnaissance company is quite special, because the reconnaissance company often performs missions deep behind enemy lines. For example, at this time, the company's transfer station is truly behind enemy lines.
One characteristic of fighting behind enemy lines is that once captured, prisoners cannot be taken away. At the same time, in order to complete the mission better, they do not want to be hindered by the prisoners, so there is a saying that no one in the reconnaissance company will be left alive.
The surrounding air was as silent as death for a moment, and the next second the prisoners cried out in a tearful voice:
"Sir, spare your life, we are helpless!"
"We have never done anything harmful to nature. We have been guarding the railway here for several years!"
"Sir, we also have seniors and juniors!"
…
Everyone was talking with snot and tears, as if they were harmless to humans and animals.
Seeing that it was almost done, the monk raised the rifle in his hand and said: "However, our mission this time is a little different. We will guard this place for a while and take prisoners if we can. As long as you..."
Before the words were finished, the prisoners started fighting one by one and said:
"Sir, just ask!"
"As long as we can, we will try our best!"
…
Therefore, Liancheng Transfer Station became a "dark place under the light" for the Japanese. That is to say, the Japanese thought that Liancheng Transfer Station was still under their control, and even the communication was normal, but in fact it was already under the control of the Eighth Route Army.
.
As soon as Wang Xuexin heard the information about the successful capture of Liancheng transfer station, he immediately ordered the train to rush to the transfer station.
At the same time, Ding Wei's troops were still firing guns and cannons from behind the train, creating the illusion that the train was being driven by Japanese soldiers escaping.
It’s more than 30 kilometers, and it only takes half an hour by train.
After arriving at Liancheng transfer station, the train immediately entered the transfer track and waited, and then Ding Wei took the new group all the way south along the railway line.
This movement immediately attracted the attention of Okamura Neiji. Okamura Neiji found it a little strange. Usually the Eighth Route Army attacked factories or railway lines, burned down the factories and destroyed the railway lines and then retreated. This time they actually followed the route.
Going south along the railway line...could this mean destroying the railway line along the way?
This is not possible!
So Okamura Neiji didn't think much and immediately ordered the armored train to go north to cooperate with the troops to repel the Eighth Route Army.
What Okamura Neiji didn't know was that it was his order that caused the Eighth Route Army's train loaded with machines to slip under his nose.
The monks watched helplessly as the armored train rumbled toward the north in front of them. Two of the carriages had two towering gun barrels, and there were perforations and protruding gun barrels everywhere on both sides. The top of the carriage was
The searchlights turned around and illuminated the surroundings.
Looking at this thing, the monk couldn't help but feel frightened secretly. If he really attacked this iron bastard as originally planned, he wouldn't know where to start.
It's okay now, this thing is gone and that's the end of it.
The monk said this because he had already arranged manpower in the northern section to blow up the car.
It's not that simple to blow up an armored train.
Because the Japanese armored trains were prepared for mines and the like, they installed a flatbed car in front of the train.
In this way, if the guerrillas install mines on the railway tracks, the flatbed trucks will trigger them first.
The monk knows this principle, so of course he will not use this method to explode again.
He buried the explosives under the railway tracks, and then left two soldiers lying down in the dark to detonate them with artificial electricity.
It's just that the timing of the explosion must be grasped, so that it doesn't explode when it goes out and when it comes back... This is to ensure the safety of the train and avoid extraneous things that will make the Japanese suspicious of the train.
As soon as the armored train passed by, the train rumbled towards Yuncheng.
It was only then that Wang Xuexin called Li Yunlong and said: "Captain, the fight can begin!"
Li Yunlong had been impatient for a long time. The original plan was to start the attack at nine o'clock, but it has been delayed until now three o'clock in the morning.
Just now, Li Yunlong was still complaining to Zhao Gang: "What tricks are you doing? If we delay again and again, we are going to defeat the Japanese, and then we will build a railway and make fake trains! Does he think we are pretending to be a family?"
Zhao Gang advised: "Old Li, please be patient! Something must have gone wrong in Xiaodongbei to push back the time. This is also for the sake of the overall situation. We can't mess around!"
"Are you not in a hurry?" Li Yunlong looked at Zhao Gang's Roman watch in a sullen voice, and said in a sullen voice: "It will be dawn in a few hours. He is right to consider the overall situation, but our independent group has so many things to do.
Then wait, he thinks all of us are incompetent!"
At this moment, Wang Xuexin's phone call came.
Li Yunlong immediately sat up from the kang, grabbed the phone and ordered: "Start the fight!"
Three red signal flares "soared" into the night sky, and the next second suddenly there was a loud sound of artillery... To be precise, it was not the sound of artillery, but the sound of rocket launchers firing rockets.
Rockets flew towards the enemy's positions with long tails, blowing up the enemy's barbed wire fences, mines, etc. into the sky in pieces.
Li Yunlong prepared more than 500 rockets for this battle, and now he fired more than 200 in one breath... There was no way, if he wanted to quickly break through the enemy's position, he had to use rockets to smash through the roadblocks and obstacles in front of him.
mines.
A few minutes later, amid a loud blast of charge signals, more than 3,000 people from three battalions of the Independent Regiment jumped up from their hiding positions and rushed towards the Japanese position in front with their rifles in hand under the cover of tanks.
This can be said to be the Eighth Route Army's first coordinated operation of infantry, tanks, and artillery, and also the first frontal attack on the enemy's defense line.
It was also the first time that the Japanese saw an attack of this scale by the Eighth Route Army, and they were stunned for a moment.
