At 1:30 in the morning, it was quiet around the blockhouse. In order to prevent people from approaching the blockhouse, the Japanese installed barbed wire fences and searchlights around the stronghold. The searchlight circled around the stronghold for about three minutes.
Chu Xiong divided the troops into two parts. He led a team to take down the most difficult gun tower, while Shitou led others to eliminate the Japanese in the fortifications;
The time to take action is when Chu Xiong takes down the turret. As long as the turret is blown up, everything else can be easily dealt with, just a small team of Japs.
This was definitely the first time that Chu Xiong blew up the artillery tower with his own hands, and the other three were responsible for cooperating;
The moment the bright light of the searchlight turned around, Chu Xiong and others, who were lurking in the darkness, quickly rushed through an open area of tens of meters and arrived in front of the barbed wire fence, which took only ten seconds;
Then, use the pliers prepared in advance to carefully cut the barbed wire fence to create a gap big enough for one person to get through, which took more than 30 seconds;
After cutting the gap, Chu Xiong carried a cluster bomb made of three long-handled grenades and quickly passed through the barbed wire area and reached the blind spot of the gun tower. It took more than 50 seconds, and it was less than a minute before the searchlight returned!
Chu Xiong quickly approached a shooting hole in the turret, decisively pulled the fuse of the grenade, and after an interval of two seconds, threw it into the turret from the shooting hole;
After throwing the bomb, Chu Xiong quickly rolled into the trench next to him...
"Bagayalu, hand grenade——"
"boom!"
The Japanese leader Cao, who reacted quickly, only had time to shout a few words before the cluster bomb exploded!
The explosion of three grenades in a closed space of only a few dozen square meters sent the Japanese in the turret back to their hometown in an instant;
The killing radius of the grenade is 7 meters!
The power of the cluster bomb was not enough to blow up the turret, but it only killed a dozen Japanese soldiers hiding inside.
"Enemy attack!"
Hearing the explosion in the turret, the Japanese commander in the semi-circular fortification shouted loudly.
The machine gunner also reacted quickly. He also reacted after hearing the explosion. Just as he was preparing to shoot, dozens of grenades flew over from the air.
The Japs Commander's face turned pale with fright...
"Boom boom boom!"
The grenade fell into the fortification and exploded. The Japanese inside were instantly enveloped by the smoke generated by the explosion. Dozens of grenades exploded and almost all the Japanese inside were knocked down, causing death or injury;
"Ta-ta-ta!"
The Tigers charged and opened fire on the hurried patrol, quickly wiping out a dozen Japanese soldiers;
The Huangzhuang stronghold was captured, and a small group of Japanese troops stationed in the stronghold were annihilated, which took less than 5 minutes.
There are 25 minutes left before the train arrives at the station. The news from the Huangzhuang stronghold is expected to be transmitted to the nearest stronghold. It will take at least an hour from the time the Japanese are dispatched to the time they arrive;
"Shitou, clean up the scene quickly, change into Japanese clothes, and wait for the train to enter the station!"
Following Chu Xiong's order, the special operations team quickly cleaned up the scene, moved all the corpses of the Japanese to the gun building, and removed the blood stains...
More than ten kilometers away, a freight train was rushing towards the Huangcun stronghold at a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour. It was already quite fast for a train in this era to run at this speed.
The carriages originally used to pull goods were filled with densely packed people, and the air was filled with a suffocating stench. There were people in each carriage who could not hold on and had died, and their bodies were stiff, but no one cared about this;
Since being imprisoned in this dark and confined space, everyone's life is no longer their own decision, but left to fate!
Even before we left the customs, people had already died. After leaving the customs, outside the customs at more than 20 degrees below zero, more than half of these half-clothed workers would be fine if they didn't die.
These laborers have a complex composition, including prisoners of war, workers, farmers, students, and even landlords and wealthy people. The Japanese will not reject anyone who comes!
In the first two carriages, it was a completely different scene. They were full of Japanese escorts, a squadron of them. The carriage they were sitting in was a passenger carriage, with rows of seats for them to sit in. It was very loose. , comfortable;
This is actually a hard job, not to mention there is no fuel and water, and you have to go all the way to a distant customs. The cold weather makes no one feel happy, and Captain Yamabe Tataro is no exception.
The Yamabe Squadron is a field squadron. If it weren't for this damn mission, they would be arrogant in the base area of the Eighth Route Army, asking for money and girls!
"Imamura-kun, we are about to arrive at Huangcun. You will go down and connect with the station in a while. You must check all the supplies and add enough coal and water. It will be difficult to replenish them later. It is minus 20 outside the customs." Duodu!”
Even if Yamabe is in a bad mood, he still has to arrange things that need to be arranged. He is too lazy to do it himself. He can just leave the small matter of supplies to Captain Imamura.
"Hi, Mr. Yamabe, a lot of Chinese people in the carriage must have died. Do you want to clean it up?"
Second Lieutenant Imamura was worried that everyone would die outside the customs and it would be difficult to explain, so he couldn't help but remind Yamabe.
"No, we don't have much time to stay in Huangzhuang. If the Chinese people die, they will die. Don't worry."
When Imamura heard that he didn't even care about the squadron leader, he stopped worrying about it.
Ten minutes later, the train entered Huangzhuang Station and stopped at the station as planned.
Imamura took the documents and went down to contact the station about supplies. The station was guarded by a small team of Imperial Army warriors, so there was no problem with safety.
It's two o'clock in the morning, and the warriors are still doing their duty, and the machine guns are set up in the fortifications.
Imamura felt something was wrong as soon as he got off the train. There was a faint smell of blood in the air. The weapons used by the imperial army at the station were not standard weapons, but rare submachine guns;
The person who received them clearly didn't look like station staff, but rather...
Imamura felt more and more something was wrong, because the imperial troops at the station were in a battle formation. He was about to find an excuse to retreat to the carriage, but it was a pity that Chu Xiong did not give him a chance.
Chu Xiong never thought that he could deceive the Japanese. There was a battle more than 20 minutes ago. The traces are not easy to remove. Anyone with a little care can detect it. All he wants is for the train to stop.
When Chu Xiong saw the Japanese officer who came down, his expression was wrong and he didn't talk nonsense. With one move, Imamura and several Japanese soldiers around him were swept to the ground.
Almost at the same time, the Tigers, who had formed a fighting formation, fired at the Japanese carriage. Some of them even took the opportunity to throw grenades into the carriage...
The unsuspecting Japs suffered heavy casualties. Before they could even pick up their guns to fight back, more than thirty grenades were thrown in. The explosions made the Japs wail and howl, and their corpses were spread all over the carriage.
Chu Xiong took the opportunity to rush into the carriage with his submachine gun and wipe out the remaining Japanese. Poor Captain Yamabe had long been killed by the fragments of the grenade explosion. This trip was not only a hard job, but also his failure to return to the team!
A Japanese squadron of more than 100 people sounds like a lot, but they were all concentrated in two carriages and bombed by dozens of grenades. In such a narrow space, the casualties were very heavy, and there was almost no room to move. Passive Being beaten is no different from massacre.
In less than ten minutes, there were no Japanese left standing in the carriage. They were either dead or injured, and the Yamabe Squadron suffered a devastating disaster.
"The first team quickly cleared the Japs in the carriage! The rest of the team followed me to rescue the fellow villagers."
After Chu Xiong gave the order, he got out of the car, and the first team stayed behind to use guns to call names of the wounded or pretending to be dead Japs.
The others rushed to rescue the fellow villagers. Time was running out and Japanese reinforcements would come at any time.
