Seven hundred and ninetieth chapters suspend the attack
"Rumble..."
An earth-shaking explosion suddenly sounded on the railway. Even though it was one kilometer away from the railway, Wang Ping was still shaken by the powerful shock wave generated by the explosion and his ears were ringing.
Wang Ping clearly saw that an orange-red fireball suddenly burst out from under the military locomotive. The locomotive, which weighed several tens of tons, was thrown directly off the rails and then hit the ground.
Because the military column is rushing forward at a very fast speed.
After the railway was bombed, the military locomotive returned to the ground, continued to rush forward at a very fast speed, and then rushed directly out of the bombed railway.
It was followed by a rollover, and the huge boiler at the front of the car exploded because it could not withstand several consecutive impacts!
As the front of the car turned into a ball of fire, a car following it directly hit the fireball, and then pushed the fireball forward for more than a hundred meters before stopping.
Wherever the fireball hit, the ground was covered with scorch marks.
As for the Japanese escort on the military column, they had already suffered heavy losses after being attacked by the guard company. Now after such a derailment and overturning, there will be very few left.
Not only that, dozens of Japanese and puppet patrols and guard posts guarding the railway were also affected. Especially the dozens of Japanese soldiers next to the railway line were the worst. When the military train derailed and rolled over, they were directly hit.
Into meatloaf!
Around the explosion point, all the Japanese and puppet soldiers who saw the explosion were frightened, especially the puppet soldiers. Many people's faces turned pale at a glance.
However, they did not forget the military order Matsumoto gave them more than half an hour ago.
"Bageya Road, what are you doing here? Why don't you reinforce the military column immediately and protect the military column... If something happens to the military column, all of us will die!" The Japanese officer in the middle of the patrol responded quickly, for his own sake
To save his life and avoid going to court-martial, he shouted as soon as the explosion was heard.
The puppet army officers reacted slower.
Normally, their first reaction would be to lie down on the ground and try to avoid the fight.
But that didn't work this time. Matsumoto issued a strict order to shoot them if they couldn't save the troops. There was no reason.
Therefore, although they were worried about the coming battle, for the sake of their own lives, they still gritted their teeth and ordered: "Reinforce the army. There must be no more accidents in the army, otherwise all of us will die. The Taijun in the city issued a death order."
, none of us can escape!”
When the little Japanese, the puppet soldiers, and the wolves rushed towards the military columns, a scene appeared that none of them could believe.
The railway exploded and the military train derailed and rolled over. On the battlefield, except for the fire that was still burning on the military locomotive, there was no sound of gunfire.
Not one of the so-called Eighth Route Army offensive troops was seen.
"Did the Eighth Route Army just want to blow up the railways and military trains?" This bold idea suddenly came to the mind of the Japanese and puppet soldiers.
Then many puppet soldiers showed expressions of rejoicing that they had survived the disaster.
The aircraft cruising in the sky searched the ground for two rounds. After finding no Eighth Route Army troops, they flew high again and reported to their superiors.
As soon as the news came to the Japanese brigade headquarters in Linfen City that the railway was bombed and the military train derailed and rolled over, Matsumoto's face turned very pale.
At this time, even the fool knows that he has been fooled.
However, the next telegram from the railway guard rekindled his hope.
"General, after the military train derailed and rolled over, no Eighth Route Army offensive troops were found on the battlefield!" As soon as the chief of staff received the telegram, a smile of genuine surprise appeared on his face, and he quickly reported.
"Now, one squadron of our railway garrison and two companies of the Imperial Alliance Army have gathered around the military column!"
"As for the escorts on the military column, because the explosion was so sudden, almost everyone was shattered when the military column derailed and rolled over!"
"Could it be that the Eighth Route Army wasted so much effort and set up such a big plan just to interrupt our Tongpu Railway and destroy the military trains!" This unrealistic idea also came to Major General Matsumoto's mind.
But soon, this idea was rejected by himself as soon as it came up.
"No! If the Eighth Route Army really only wants to destroy the military columns, the daytime attack can be done directly. There is no need to wait until now!"
The chief of staff frowned and analyzed: "General, the original purpose of the new regiment must be to intercept our military columns. The reason why it has not moved now must be because the aviation force is still on the battlefield! Because of the existence of the aviation force, they deployed
Such a big situation delayed the military column's passage through their controlled area until the evening. But they did not expect that at this time, our aviation force was still escorting the military column!"
"Maybe the Eighth Route Army is hiding nearby. As soon as the escorting aviation troops leave, they will pounce on our ranks like hungry wolves!"
"That must be the case!" Matsumoto's brows immediately twisted into a big "Sichuan" sign.
Then he ordered: "As long as the aviation force remains on the battlefield for one minute, the Eighth Route Army will not dare to make any changes!"
"Contact the aviation force and let them stay on the battlefield for another half hour!"
"Order all the troops we have left behind in the area controlled by the New Regiment to reinforce the military ranks, with the military ranks as the center, build fortifications, and stand firm to wait for reinforcements!"
"Order the cavalry brigade to quickly reinforce the battlefield. The terrain there is wide and suitable for cavalry assaults!"
"Other troops, rush to the battlefield in the shortest possible time. This time, no accidents can happen to the military ranks no matter what!"
The plane did not last for half an hour before leaving. After all, they were not under the control of Major General Matsumoto.
However, at this time, the number of Japanese and puppet troops gathered near the military column exceeded 800.
"The original battle plan remains unchanged. Xiao Yunshan, I will give you the mortar company and heavy machine gun company directly under the regiment headquarters. Then I will give you half an hour to kill the Japanese and puppet troops around the military columns. Do you have the confidence!"
As soon as the plane left, Wang Ping found the commander of the second battalion in charge of the main attack and gave the order.
"Captain, please rest assured and promise to complete the mission!" Xiao Yunshan replied very confidently.
The combined strength of the Japanese and puppet troops near the military column was more than twice our own.
However, because he kept his eyes on the battlefield, Xiao Yunshan knew exactly how many puppet troops, how many Japs there were among these Japanese and puppet troops, and even how many heavy machine guns and mortars they were equipped with.
Although they have many troops, most of them are puppet troops.
In terms of heavy weapons, with regimental support, I have more than twice their firepower, or even more.
In this case, Xiao Yunshan had absolute confidence to kill them, but the time was a little short.
Wang Ping nodded and directly ordered Zhong Chenggong: "Chief of Staff, send the signal and start the attack!"
"Bang bang bang..."
Three signal flares were fired, and the troops scattered one kilometer away from the railway quickly gathered and then rushed towards the railway with rifles in hand.
"Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army is coming!" The Japanese and puppet army guard posts were the first to spot the approaching Eighth Route Army. They shouted, subconsciously picking up their rifles and wanting to shoot!
"Da da da..." The machine gunners at the front of the three main battalions did not give them a chance.
They have already observed clearly where there are security posts and security positions near the railway.
As soon as the opponent entered the range of the machine gun, the machine gunner did not hesitate to pull the trigger.
