A bolt of lightning tore through the sky and struck a seven- to eight-meter-tall wooden telegraph pole. It instantly burst into flames and was quickly extinguished by heavy rain.
"Rumble..." The deafening thunder sounded from near to far.
The power of nature is terrifying, and it seems that nothing in the world can compete with it.
Gong Shaofeng was directing the militiamen coming from Fengfeng Mining Area, shouting slogans to carry away the pried railroad tracks.
The bottom floor of a blockhouse five miles south of Minghe Bridge.
On both sides of the railway, there are blocked ditches that have been completely flooded and cannot be seen.
Hu Yi shouted into the storm: "Move quickly, the little Japanese armored patrol car is coming soon."
"Boss Hu, we have pried the southern rails loose. As long as the Japanese armored vehicles come from the HD side, they will definitely derail." Luo Fugui ran along the railway from the north in the wind and rain.
Hu Yi turned around and asked Gong Shaofeng and the guerrilla captain of Fengfeng Mining Area who came with Luo Fugui: "Is there any movement from the enemies in other directions?"
"Xu Tieying was originally responsible for the peripheral defense in this area. Now the Japs are fighting fiercely with this damn guy. The Japs originally transferred Li Ying's subordinate Guo Qing to come over. However, it rained too hard and Guo Qing's troops were still in Wucheng County and did not come over at all." The sturdy guerrilla captain next to Gong Shaofeng spoke first.
Hu Yi looked at the sturdy guerrilla leader: "I haven't asked you what to call him?"
"I am Liu Yuzhen, director of the Fengfeng Mining Area Armed Forces Committee and captain of the guerrilla squadron. I have heard of Hu Yingchang's name a long time ago."
Hu Yi nodded: "Then be careful later! If we remove the Japanese and puppet garrison in the south of Qiaonan and are discovered by the Japanese, you must not underestimate the Japanese armored trains. They have three armored carriages on one train. The devils in the last squadron were all equipped with heavy weapons, so if they just lead people away from here, the mission is considered a failure, otherwise everyone might be handed over here."
Gong Shaofeng's eyes shone with a fascinating light: "Be careful, if they can't destroy the Japanese Iron Bridge, they can rebuild these railways in three days."
"We're going to blow up the bridge, but I suggest you don't be idle now that there are so many people. You can dig out all the rubble from the railway embankment and fill it into the blockade trench. After the heavy rain softens the foundation, more little devils will be around. Build the railroad in the mud.”
There were not many guerrillas, but the number of ordinary people they brought was completely beyond Hu Yi's imagination.
The villages on both sides of the railway have been occupied by ordinary people.
Hearing that the railways were being destroyed, many young people secretly joined the team that was demolishing the tracks.
Madman Yang was covered in mud: "The Japanese armored patrol car on the north side of the bridge has been parked for an hour... If we can't trap the little Japanese patrol car, we can't kill the Japanese and puppet troops guarding the bridge on the north side of the railway bridge."
Hu Yi looked at the long railway bridge: "The river is almost overflowing the railway bridge. Let's kill the Japanese troops guarding the bridge south of the bridge first and see if we can attract the Japanese armored patrol vehicles."
"However, the explosives promised by the traffic sabotage team have not yet been delivered. If the battle starts now, the Japanese armored trains may come from the north for reinforcements. By then, it is very likely that the bridge bombing mission will not be completed."
"It's useless for us to stare here. Let's get rid of the Japanese team guarding the bridge in the south first, and let everyone find a place to take shelter from the rain and take a rest."
"Okay, if we go up now, we should be able to catch the bridge guarding troops in the south by surprise."
Hu Yi stood up and looked at Crazy Yang: "If you are spotted by the Japs armored patrol car parked on the north side of the bridge, don't fight. Moreover, as long as the exchange of fire with the patrol car lasts for more than half an hour, the Japs armored train parked on the north side will It will go south, and then the artillery shells on the armored train will level the Japanese positions south of the bridge."
"You underestimate me." Madman Yang shook his head, shook the water from his hair and waved, "Follow me!"
Outside the barracks of the Japanese troops guarding the bridge south of the Ming River, two puppet soldiers were standing guard in the storm.
Looking at the misty iron bridge.
The two men complained: "There is not even a ghost. It rains so heavily and we are asked to stand guard, but they are drinking and enjoying themselves."
Another puppet soldier also had an angry look on his face: "That's right! We usually respect the company commander a lot, but now we see that those who are usually nice to us are all fake."
"If such a big storm still dares to come, I'll jump into the river now."
Big Dog and Madman Yang wandered over from the rain. The two puppet soldiers on guard were stunned and stood there stupidly.
Madman Yang waved his hand and yelled in lame bird language: "Hello!"
Imperial Army?
A puppet soldier quickly raised his hand and waved, "Hello, Taijun!"
Wearing raincoats and still soaking wet, the two Taijuns walked closer in the mud, one foot high and the other low.
"Thank you for your hard work." Madman Yang praised the two puppet soldiers seriously.
The big dog suddenly grinned: "Stop playing, there's not enough time."
The big dog spoke Chinese. The expressions of the two puppet soldiers changed, and they finally came to their senses, just as they were about to raise their guns.
A figure flashed in front of him, and his neck was grabbed by a big hand.
Then there was a click in his ear, and his head tilted to one side strangely.
Madman Yang and Big Dog each let go of their hands, and the two corpses of the puppet soldiers slowly fell to the ground.
The soldiers lying in the mud behind saw this strange scene and shook their heads helplessly.
The puppet army is really fucking stupid.
Madman Yang gestured, and everyone who followed him quickly ran towards the barracks of the puppet army's bridge defenders, ducking down.
There was no one in the fortifications outside the barracks, and the trenches had long been flooded to the level of the ground.
The water on the ground was up to the ankles.
The sounds of birds chirping and laughter could be heard from time to time in the barracks.
Thunder exploded in the sky one after another.
Crazy Yang took out a grenade and asked several other assault warriors to also take out grenades: "Each of you will find a room."
After getting ready, Madman Yang kicked the door open first, quickly threw the grenade in, and then jumped towards the door.
The others all raised their legs and kicked the door, then threw the grenades into the barracks they found, then turned around and ran away.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers in the barracks were still drinking and fist-fighting when they heard a bang on the door.
The whole room immediately became quiet, and then another figure flashed at the door, and then he saw round, smoky things flying in.
Smashing and jumping around in the house.
A shrill howl sounded: "Grenade, run."
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!!"
Countless gravels, large and small, littered the room.
After the explosion, Madman Yang, who raised his rifle, immediately jumped out of the barracks door.
He fired and laughed wildly: "Come again."
The soldiers behind immediately followed suit.
The Japanese and puppet soldiers in the room were still dazed, and bullets were fired at them from close range.
There was constant thunder and lightning, and the explosion of grenades could not be heard at a little distance.
The thunder succeeded in covering up most of the sounds in the barracks south of the bridge.
No matter how sharp the ears of the puppet troops north of the railway bridge were, they could not hear that something had happened in the south barracks across the river.
The corpses of the puppet soldiers were stripped naked and dragged out of the barracks and piled directly into the river.
The river is forty to fifty meters wide, and the details on the other side are almost invisible.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Japanese and puppet troops on the north bank to see the south bank.
"Report to the battalion commander that there are Japanese soldiers coming along the railway bridge." The soldier in charge immediately turned around and shouted.
