The time is 41.
It's already September, and the autumn harvest season is coming soon in Taiyuan and surrounding areas.
Six days.
It was getting dusk, and in less than an hour, the day would be completely over.
Rumble——
On a military transportation railway line controlled by the Japanese army that ran directly from north to south into Yangquan, a loud noise was suddenly heard, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky or thunder at night.
On the transportation railway line heading north to Yangquan, a certain section of railway track was blown to pieces by a strong explosion. At the same time, the explosion was caused by a Japanese armored patrol car that was patrolling the track in advance of the Japanese transport train.
This little devil's armored patrol train is equipped with machine gunners and heavy machine guns inside to ensure safety along the railway transportation line.
Because of its powerful firepower and solid armor, it has always been a headache and helpless for local guerrilla forces.
Due to the strong protection of these patrol trains, the guerrilla forces did not dare to attack the Japanese trains.
But what is attacking tonight is the elite main combat force of the Eighth Route Army's Northwestern Shanxi Anti-Japanese First Detachment - the Second Independent Regiment under the personal command of Wang Leihu.
That's a different story.
First, there was an enchanting product produced by the Independent Regiment Arms Repair Company - the rail bomb.
The patrol armored train that the Japanese came along the railway track was directly blown up and turned upside down.
A freight train following a Japanese patrol armored train.
The Japanese train conductor suddenly heard about the explosion. In a panic, he saw the gap in the track that was blown up not far away. He knew that if he continued to move in at full speed, passing through the gap would probably cause the train to derail and roll over.
He couldn't care less and quickly issued an emergency braking order.
It's just that it's not that easy to brake a train at full speed in such a short distance.
Amidst the huge roar of the train and the harsh sound of emergency braking, the front part of the Japanese train still rushed out of the track area that was broken by the explosives.
After the front part of the train rushed out of the bombed railway track, it continued to rush forward on the track bed padded with sleepers.
After rushing out for more than ten meters in one breath, the entire train gradually came to a halt while stumbling. At this time, nearly five carriages had already rushed off the track.
If the Japanese train conductor had not taken timely braking measures, the entire train would have derailed.
In the eyes of the Eighth Route Army soldiers, this was just a small opening to rob the Japanese food tonight.
It opens with a thunderous explosion and the shocking scene of a Japanese train derailing, which is quite grand.
When the Japanese train came to an emergency stop while stumbling.
Wang Leihu, commander of the Second Regiment, directly issued the order to attack.
Without any temptation at all, tonight's action was an attack.
The loud and clear Charge directly broke the original dead silence of the remote railway.
The soldiers seemed to attack the Japanese train that had completely stopped from all directions.
During the emergency braking, the Japanese train conductor, who was slightly injured due to the bumps caused by the train running off the track, heard the shouts of death from all directions and the unique charge horn belonging to the Eighth Route Army. His face turned pale and he quickly The alarm bell rang.
This freight train was transported by the Japanese army from Yangquan northward.
Except for the patrol armored trains that moved in advance on the tracks.
In the middle section of this freight train, which was composed of fifteen carriages excluding the front of the train, which was inside the eighth carriage, a Japanese combat team was also pulled up to be responsible for the safety of the train along the way.
The train was suddenly exploded, the front part derailed, and the Eighth Route Army's shouts of killing were heard all around.
The Japanese team leader hurriedly issued combat orders in an attempt to hold the freight train and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
Realizing that the Eighth Route Army was well prepared and coming with great momentum, the Japanese team leader did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered the communications troops to send a request for assistance to the surrounding counties, towns and strongholds.
This little devil knows the importance of this train.
Except for the locomotive and the troop carriages, the remaining fourteen carriages were fully loaded with food needed by the garrison troops in Yangquan, Ping'an County, Shouyang, Tan County and other major counties and towns.
The current disaster situation is serious, and this batch of food is almost the key to whether the Japanese and puppet defenders can maintain their combat effectiveness, and even launch a raid on the Eighth Route Army base area.
Before leaving, the superiors issued repeated orders.
This batch of military rations must be delivered to Yangquan smoothly.
The two sides launched a fierce exchange of firepower.
The Japanese team leader originally had the idea that he had a small group of imperial warriors here anyway. As long as they could block these eight routes for a period of time, the nearby reinforcements originally responsible for garrisoning the railway line stronghold in this area should be able to arrive quickly.
Unfortunately, imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
He watched as dozens of little devils launched a counterattack around the train carriage.
The third company commander of the Second Independent Regiment gave the order without saying a word: "Get ready for the grenade team to blow up these idiots for me!"
Boom——
Even the 50 small artillery was not used, and the Japanese counterattack could not even stop the attack of the independent regiment soldiers for a moment.
Seeing the Japanese counterattack, the third company commander directly launched a simple and crude response plan.
Separated by a distance of about 150 meters, with the help of the flickering fire on the enemy's end in the dim dusk, the rifle grenade team, a dozen soldiers, each holding a grenade launcher, fired a volley of more than a dozen pieces. The rifle grenade struck directly in a nearly straight line and exploded accurately in the area defended by the Japanese team.
The superimposed explosion power even blew up the train carriages where the Japanese relied on to fight.
Before the remaining Japs who were lucky enough to survive could fight back, the soldiers who quickly followed up threw a wave of grenades, sending the remaining Japs directly to the west.
Nowadays, it is a well-equipped independent regiment and main combat force.
Especially in the current small-scale encounter, with the powerful firepower offensive in hand, it is not reasonable to the little devil at all.
No matter how extraordinary your Japanese soldiers' military qualities are, if one round of artillery fires, everyone's flesh and blood will be equal.
The exchange of fire did not last for more than five minutes, and the battle was coming to an end.
The little devils in this team were like stones thrown into the lake. They only made ripples for a moment, and soon returned to calm.
Seeing that the Japanese who were fighting back were defeated in a wave, Wang Leihu didn't even blink, and immediately gave the order:
"All ministries quickly entered the designated combat locations, placed strict vigilance, and allowed transportation teams from all parties to immediately launch transportation plans!"
As for the Japanese and puppet reinforcements in some strongholds not far away that the Japanese squad leader had previously counted on, they were now simply crossing the river and could not protect themselves.
In this massive food-stealing operation, almost all the main force of the entire team was used.
The troops of each company have a clear division of labor: those who attack strongholds, those who bomb trains, those who provide reinforcements and captures, and those who are responsible for transportation.
It can be said that it has everything.
Even local troops, militia troops, and some active ordinary people all participated.
Nowadays, there is no shortage of elite troops of independent regiments to attack fortified artillery.
Most of the gun towers built by the Japs were made of masonry, wood and stone structures. They no longer looked like hard bastard shells, but more like the graves dug by the Japs and puppet soldiers themselves.
Boom——
The company responsible for besieging the Japanese stronghold had a flat-firing cannon specifically designed to hit the turrets.
After a few shots were fired, the gun towers, which were the means of attack and defense in the Japanese stronghold, were directly destroyed.
The Japanese and puppet troops hiding in the gun tower were smashed to death together.
Wang Leihu specially organized professional surrender personnel in each company, and then used loudspeakers to persuade the Japanese to surrender and "attack their hearts".
Those who understand will choose to surrender.
The ignorant direct artillery fire pushed down, and at worst, the entire stronghold was razed to the ground.
In order to quickly complete this grain robbery plan, Kong Jie’s order was very clear:
No need to save consumption, strive to be fast!
Being so arrogant, we are fighting a battle of wealth this time.
The disaster situation is serious now, and food is gold. As long as this batch of food is robbed, how much did we spend to buy this batch of food? Hum, in turn, it will increase ten times or even dozens of times and sell it. If the Japanese don’t want to Starving to death, I can only hold my nose and admit it.
The consumed guns and ammunition will be replenished sooner or later, and he can't lose on this deal...
