"What the hell, Brigadier Chen of the 343rd Brigade is at Shimen. If you didn't take his name, why would you take my name?" The future general, who was so excited about the victory that he stayed up all night and drank Liu Lang's wine, suddenly heard this.
After Liu Tuanzuo's speech was broadcast in the original text by the Central News Agency on the radio, he almost choked to death on a sip of wine and grabbed Liu Lang by the collar and asked questions.
And the Brigadier Chen he was talking about also looked at Liu Tuanzuo, who was a little guilty, with bull's-eye eyes to see how he would explain.
"Ahem, Brother Chen, you have a better temper!" Lang Tuanzuo explained with a smile.
This is the truth. The future general's extremely cheerful personality is said to be having fun in the Red Army. Even the usually serious commander-in-chief beams when he sees him. Even in the national government, there are a lot of old classmates.
, he was caught doing underground work for the Red Party, and the bald principal didn’t even say that he wanted to behead him! A group of generals jumped out and jointly signed a letter begging the principal to spare his life. Looking at the entire two systems of the National Red Party, how can he be treated like this?
Yes, I'm afraid it's just him.
However, faced with Langdanzao's explanation, which was almost deceptive and obvious in bullying "honest people", the future general would not let it go easily. He "viciously" forced Langtanzao to agree to support him with twenty Somi submachine guns before giving up.
The super firepower displayed by the Somi submachine gun in this battle against the 20th Division has already made future generals jealous, and now they have found an opportunity for blackmail.
Faced with such a "pediatric" request, Lang Tuanzuo naturally agreed without any hesitation, and even generously donated ten shots to the 129th Division Headquarters to another Brigadier Chen who was also drooling with envy.
Supported twenty shots.
Everyone was happy, not only did the bad-tempered red general's favorability towards Liu Lang increase steadily, but the two future giants of the Republic also admired Captain Liu's "selfless" attitude.
Of course, this is something for later.
From dusk, two trains had been transported, and the independent regiment and the 686th Regiment of the 343rd Brigade began to withdraw from Shimen one after another, having moved all the baggage and all captured items of the Japanese army from Shimen.
The third train had already traveled more than 20 kilometers with Japanese prisoners of war, some Chinese officers and soldiers from the "Avenge Battalion" and part of the 686th Regiment. Liu Lang led the Bayonet Battalion and the young men who were preparing to join the army in Shimen on the Shimen East Gate Highway.
After walking around for a few miles and leaving Shimen, something happened.
Comrade Lin Xiaoshun and the field radio station of the Japanese 20th Division in charge of the communications platoon suddenly received a telegram from Peiping. The content of the telegram was: "The military supplies required by your department were sent from Baoding one hour ago and are expected to arrive in one hour."
This left Liu Lang a little confused. According to common sense, Shimen had just gone through a big battle. For safety reasons, the Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters would not rush to deliver supplies in such a hurry. Could it be that the Japanese Army Headquarters discovered something?
Did you come here specifically to test if something is wrong?
If it was a test, it would be a bit troublesome. The first two batches of trains transporting baggage have basically arrived at Jingxing, but the last batch of trains transporting people is comparable to the future Spring Festival transportation, and it is also the "Ah San" version full of people.
, although it uses four locomotives, the speed is as slow as a snail in the eyes of Future Fat Butterfly, who has experienced high-speed rail and high-speed trains.
In the afternoon, although the sky was still a little cloudy, the weather was getting better. If the Japanese plane took off from Peking Nanyuan Airport, it would only take 50 minutes at most to arrive here. After the bombing, it would be possible to return to the airport before dark.
However, Lin Xiaoshun did not reveal any flaws in his previous communication with the Japanese North China Front Headquarters on the radio. Since the reconnaissance plane arrived, the Japanese army's response was normal.
After a short period of thinking, Liu Lang decided that no matter it was a test or something, he had to let this train come. He personally led the guard platoon and the second company of the Bayonet Battalion to sneak back into Shimen, and waited for the train at the train station to see the Japanese gourd.
What kind of medicine is sold there?
At the same time, the telegraph was sent to the red general on the train to increase the speed of the train to the highest speed and advance towards Jingxing County at full speed. All independent regiment headquarters in Jingxing County stopped transporting supplies and moved all twin-mounted machine guns, heavy machine guns and even light machine guns.
Air defense positions were deployed along the important hills in Jingxing County.
If the Japanese army gets angry and dispatches bombers, all the anti-aircraft firepower of the independent regiment will have to go head-to-head with them. In short, they cannot be allowed to easily blow up the mountains of baggage still piled up at the train station. That is tens of thousands of Chinese officers and soldiers fighting for their lives with the 20th Division.
exchanged for.
On his side, led by Yu Xiancheng and Liu Dazhu, they retreated at full speed toward the mountains along the road with the new soldiers and the retrieved cannons. If there was really an enemy bombing, the entire army would abandon all vehicles and cannons and disperse into the mountains.
Love war.
It can be said that Liu Lang was mentally prepared for the worst because of the sudden appearance of this train transporting supplies.
Jingxing County also became nervous because of Liu Lang's telegram that the entire army was on alert. Not only did the two infantry battalions of the independent regiment separate all their firepower platoons of light and heavy machine guns and began to deploy air defense positions along the hills of the railway line. The future military god also
With an order, all heavy machine gun teams, whether it was the 129th Division, the 17th Division or the Cunxingqi Brigade, moved their heavy machine guns to the top of the hill and built air defense positions.
Even the 92 heavy machine guns in the Japanese army's baggage that were being transported were sent to each unit, with four heavy machine guns in a position, all with their muzzles pointing toward the sky.
On dozens of hills around Jingxing County, there are as many as 150 heavy machine guns with their muzzles pointed in the air. The number of heavy machine guns alone even exceeds that of a Japanese division.
At that moment, it can be said that the entire army shared the same hatred, not because they hated the Japanese bombers too much, but because the mountains of supplies were enough to make people's eyes turn green. If the Japanese planes were to explode like this, their eyes would probably be red.
It is difficult for division commanders, brigade commanders and regimental commanders to forgive themselves.
With their attitude of risking their lives to confront the Japanese bomber formation, maybe there were no more than two squadrons, and the Japanese bomber formation, which had dropped to a low altitude of 600 meters, really couldn't stand it.
The spirit of "people die for wealth and birds die for food" was vividly reflected in the more than 20,000 Chinese soldiers at this moment.
Really, I'm afraid of being poor.
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
When the train carrying supplies passed by the iron bridge over the Hutuo River, the machine gunner lying on the roof of the train waved to Zhuang Er and others wearing Japanese military uniforms who were standing at the bridge as sentries.
Liu Lang, who had returned to Shimen Railway Station, quickly ordered the guard platoon to change into Japanese military uniforms and stand with him on the platform, preparing to "greet" this unexpected military column.
Sure enough, it was just a train transporting baggage. The person responsible for escorting the supplies was just an infantry squad. Seeing Fatty Liu carrying the rank of captain, the second lieutenant infantry squad leader who was leading the train quickly ordered all the infantry squads who were mainly on guard at the front and rear of the train to get off the train.
They lined up to prepare for the handover, except for the two light machine gun teams still lying on the roof of the train.
However, the hand of the light machine gun shooter was also separated from the trigger. This is the base camp of the 20th Division. Anyone who still holds on to the machine gun at this time is really stupid.
Intentional vs. unintentional, not to mention there are more people bullying fewer people, not to mention submachine guns and machine guns vs. rifles.
As he stood in formation on the platform, before the Japanese second lieutenant and team leader had time to run over, the fat captain who was standing on the platform in ill-fitting clothes took out his pistol and shot him. The "Black Star" pistol is powerful.
The kinetic energy knocked him staggering, his eyes wide open and he still didn't realize what was going on.
The guard platoon who stood with Liu Lang and carried the 38-meter cover on their backs picked up their guns and fired a burst of fire. At least a dozen Japanese soldiers fell to the ground on the spot.
Of course, this is still secondary. The important thing is that two terrifying tongues of fire suddenly spurted out from behind the walls on both sides. After the continuous terrifying sound of "Puff, puff" like a tearing machine, there was almost no life in front of Liu Tuanzuo.
In just ten seconds, two heavy machine guns poured more than 300 rounds of bullets into the Japanese troops who were caught off guard.
The Japanese second lieutenant who was lucky enough to avoid the machine gun bullet because he stumbled to the ground realized that it was not that Shangguan was crazy, but...
"Enemy attack!" The two words were still swirling in his throat, and there was a "bang" gunshot, and a flower of blood bloomed on his forehead.
"The life of a dog is really tough." These were the last words the Japanese second lieutenant heard in this world.
And, it's in Chinese.
The two machine gun teams lying on the roof of the train were of course the first target. At least five submachine guns and twenty semi-automatic rifles were aimed at them, but at a distance of fifty meters, if they still had a chance to react, then
The independent regiment had been training for five years in vain. The moment Liu Tuanzuo pulled out his pistol and fired, two Japanese machine gun teams of four Japanese soldiers who were being targeted by many people were beaten into a honeycomb.
In only twenty seconds, the Japanese escort team was completely wiped out, which probably exceeded the fastest record of a Japanese infantry team being wiped out in a pure gun battle. They even didn't have a chance to fire a bullet.
There were two drivers who were scared out of their wits in the train cab. When the Mi Laowu infantry squad wearing dark blue military uniforms rushed over, the two people were so frightened that they jumped out of the cab and knelt on the ground shouting: "
Master of the national army, please spare my life."
Liu Lang, who was already accustomed to the use of Chinese workers by the Japanese military, waved his hand to stop Mi Laowu's plan to kick the "traitor" angrily. For ordinary Chinese people at present, they have not realized that this is a Japanese attack.
In order to fight against China's "national subjugation and genocide", they mostly hope to continue to survive, even if they work for the Japanese.
After careful questioning, although the two scared Chinese drivers could not fully describe the reason why a baggage train was arriving at Shimen at this time, the baggage train had been loaded with supplies for several days and only departed from Peking this morning.
Arrived in Baoding in the afternoon, stayed in Baoding for 15 minutes and then started heading towards Shimen to judge based on some information.
The Japanese army had not noticed the changes at Niangziguan and Shimen at all. This baggage train was even a sign of comfort to the 20th Division from Peiping, hoping that they would continue to make persistent efforts on the front line in eastern Shanxi.
Liu Lang guessed correctly.
The North China Front Army Headquarters has never been satisfied with the fact that the Western Front Corps led by Bunzaburo Kawagishi has been blocked at Niangziguan and failed to achieve its expected strategic goals, so it deliberately delayed the transportation of baggage requested by a certain Lieutenant General for a few days to express dissatisfaction.
But today the Chinese were so bold that they bypassed the defense line and launched an attack on the base camp of the 20th Division. This made General Terauchi Juichi feel that it was really not easy for Bunzaburo Kawagishi.
Okay, the supplies were sent over immediately to show the headquarters' recognition and encouragement to the brothers of the 20th Division for their hard work.
