Rise from the sword

Chapter 348 Roadside Bomb
"Baoding..."

Back at his headquarters, Yamamoto sat on a chair and frowned.

Yamamoto was not very willing to go to Baoding.

Baoding was originally the provincial capital of Hebei, with many railway lines passing through it. It is the economic and transportation center of Hebei, and its importance is no less than that of Beiping. Therefore, the North China Garrison Command is also stationed in Hebei, and the main defense force is also the garrison.

Although they are all under the control of the North China Front Army, the relationship between the Garrison Command and the First Army is not harmonious, and it can even be said to be hostile.

As Shinozuka Yoshio's confidant, Yamamoto is very unpopular in Baoding.

The garrison command was very resistant to the anti-special operations training required by the headquarters of the North China Front Army before. It only sent people to briefly understand special operations, and adjusted its security accordingly. It completely ignored the follow-up actual combat training.

Even Shijiazhuang, where the garrison brigade is responsible for the garrison, did not proceed, and only strengthened its troops.

"Come on..."

Yamamoto sighed, and called a team member, this is a small captain of the secret service team: "Go and collect all the information about Li Yunlong, and then go to Baoding with me."

Even if he really didn't want to go, but for his own career and to promote special operations, Yamamoto had to leave.

"Hi."

The squad leader didn't hesitate and went to prepare immediately.

······
Just when Yamamoto was about to leave, Zhang Dabiao arrived in Baoding with his people.

"It's here."

Zhang Dabiao looked at the dense forest in the distance, then at the map in his hand, and said.

A special team of 20 people, eight mules and horses carrying weapons and supplies, came all the way to this dense forest only five kilometers away from Baoding. This is a pre-selected hidden location.

"Here, is it really Baoding?"

Looking back at the brightly lit city in the distance, even though this city, which is far larger than Shou County, is close in front of him, the monk still feels a little unbelievable.

"Yes, this is Baoding."

Zhang Dabiao's tone was affirmative.

After serving in the army for more than ten years, he has traveled as far as [-] miles, and he has an ultra-high-precision map in his hand, but he still can't tell the location. Then he, a veteran, is too cheap.

"Didn't you say that Baoding is an important town?"

"The devils around Baoding, why are they more lax in vigilance than the devils in Yangquan?"

The monk was puzzled by what he had seen in the past few days.

They set off from Shouxian County, went all the way to Baoding through the mountain road, passed through Yangquan, but deviated from Shijiazhuang.

When passing by the surrounding area of ​​Yangquan before, the team acted very cautiously. I have to say that the devils in Yangquan are extremely vigilant. Even on remote mountain roads, marching at night, they encountered devil patrols several times along the way in the middle of the night, and even some devils They are still patrolling in plainclothes. Fortunately, their team has been vigilant and hardly contacts anyone, so they have not been discovered by the devils.

After passing through Yangquan, the same is true for the next few counties, and many ghost patrols were encountered on the mountain road at night.

However, after approaching the border of Baoding, the situation suddenly changed. No matter it was day or night, they never encountered the devil's patrol again, which made the monk feel very strange.

As a city more important than Shijiazhuang, is Baoding so lax in vigilance?

"This is the territory of the security brigade, not the First Army."

Zhang Dabiao naturally knew the reason. After all, the information provided by Boss Chen was clearly stated.The monk didn't know because the kid didn't read the information at all.

"The devils on the border of Shijiazhuang haven't conducted Yamamoto's anti-special warfare training."

Zhang Dabiao sneered.

Although they didn't fight Yamamoto head-on, the independent regiment also suffered from Yamamoto's losses several times. Zhang Dabiao knew very well that Kazuki Yamamoto was very strong, and his ability to infiltrate and command a small group of troops was probably higher than him.

This can be seen from the vigilance of several counties around Yangquan.

After the devils around Yangquan, Taiyuan mobilized a large number of troops to guard the road, the mountainous road section had to be relaxed, and Yamamoto also discovered this loophole. Although he could not completely solve it due to insufficient troops, he still arranged random small-scale Patrols, even plainclothes patrols.

If he hadn't been vigilant, he might have been spotted several times.

He was able to come and go freely in the devil's land, mainly relying on the map provided by Boss Chen and the devil's information.Compared with Yamamoto, I am afraid that he may not be an opponent in command.

Although he usually regards devils as rubbish in his mouth, Zhang Dabiao never despises devils in his heart.

"The little devil is not good..."

Hearing this reason, the monk curled his lips in disdain.

I usually listen to the devil's propaganda about the Japanese Empire's Locust Army, the most loyal warrior of the Heavenly Locust, but in the end, it's not just a matter of infighting.

"Let's rest here today, Gensheng, work hard, go around Baoding, focus on Baoding Railway Station, find a few places that can be monitored, and send someone to monitor the situation at the railway station tomorrow."

Zhang Dabiao said.

The information contained detailed information on the whereabouts of the old devil Yansong, but in order to prevent accidents, they still had to keep an eye on the old devil's movements.

"Yes."

Wang Gensheng walked away immediately.

Baoding Railway Station is a key place for the devils to guard against, but with a detailed map and even a map of the devils' defense, Wang Gensheng, a seasoned investigation veteran, is almost free to come and go as long as he doesn't get close to the train station platform.

After entering the woods, Zhang Dabiao carefully took out a bag of things from the back of a mule. It was a sack, a bit worn out in appearance, but it was quite heavy. Even with Zhang Dabiao's size, it was a bit difficult to carry it.

"Hey hey..."

Looking at the sealed sack, Zhang Dabiao chuckled, showing a murderous look in his smile: "This thing is exciting."

On the side, the monk looked at the bag and also gasped.

Eighty kilograms of explosives, and it was captured devil explosives, with a lot of fragments, warheads, and nails stuffed inside...
I don't know if it was the idea of ​​that prodigal toy...

However, if this thing explodes, the power...
······
While the monk was complaining, Li Yunlong from the regiment headquarters in Shou County looked at the watch in his hand and said to Zhao Gang:

"Looking at the time, Zhang Dabiao and the others should have arrived in Baoding. In two days, Yansong Yixiong will arrive in Baoding..."

"Hey hey..."

Speaking of this, Captain Li suddenly laughed, with a triumphant smile in his smile.

"Are you willing to recruit?"

Zhao Gang suddenly frowned.

According to the combat meeting before the departure, this time we plan to do it at the gate of Baoding, killing Yansong Yixiong with a bomb at the gate. According to Li Datuan, this move is called a roadside bomb.

"Hey hey..."

Leader Li smiled confidently, and looked at a photo on the table. It was a photo of a city gate in Baoding. At the gate, there were many ordinary people carrying sacks on carts and preparing to enter the city. He narrowed his eyes:
"This move is absolutely fine."

"The devil convoy at the gate of the city is slow and the road is narrow. The location is very suitable."

"Although the little devil was on guard against landmines, he never expected this move."

"Although it's a bit wasteful, this method is the safest and safest. Zhang Dabiao and the others don't have enough troops. If they ambushed the convoy halfway, they may not be able to kill that old devil. We can't fail the mission just to save some explosives."

"Too."

Zhao Gang finally nodded.

He didn't feel sorry for the explosives. These explosives were seized from the devils in Shou County, weighing tens of kilograms. After the headquarters received the batch of explosive raw materials provided by Boss Chen, there was no shortage of explosives, and it was not bad.

Sudden···
Ah Choo...
Li Datuan suddenly sneezed several times.

"Damn it, who is scolding me?"

Leader Li Datuan stared at Zhao Gang immediately, "Are you scolding me in your heart?"

"Labour..."

Commissar Zhao also stared.

······
three days later.

Hum Chi Hum Chi...
The iron wheels of the train hummed on the rails, and Yamamoto looked out through the window.

Beside the high-speed railway tracks, you can see a high watchtower from time to time, on which an imperial army stands on guard, and on the open space beside the railway, you can see fortress gun towers one by one.

After the railway was constantly attacked, the North China Front Army continued to strengthen the security of the railway, and established a series of security measures including lookout posts and fortresses next to the railway, which barely controlled the security situation around the railway.

But even so, there are still incidents of railways being attacked and railroad tracks being stripped from time to time.

From the information, Yamamoto felt that this group of people came out to attack the railway, not to destroy the transportation of the imperial army, but simply to pull some railway tracks.

Recently, it has also been discovered that the firepower of the guerrillas attacking the railway has increased significantly, especially the firepower of grenade grenades has been greatly enhanced, and the power of explosives is also very different from before.

This shows that the opponent's military strength has been strengthened, the production of weapons and ammunition has been improved, and the problem of serious insufficient power of explosives has even been solved.

Thinking of this, Yamamoto's heart suddenly became clouded.

Corresponding to the growth of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, the imperial army has not made any progress so far.

The weapons and equipment of the Imperial Army are still the same as when the war first started. The [-]-type cover plus the [-]-type light machine gun. The infantry support firepower is grenades. There is no replacement, and it is still the old stuff. Compared with the endless new weapons in Europe, the empire is far behind in this respect.

After the war between the navy and the United States, the domestic military industry gave priority to supplying the navy, and the army received fewer supplements, and this problem became more and more serious.

Although there are reasons for the low intensity of the Republic of China battlefield, the priority is to ensure the supply, and the reasons for not promoting new excellent weapons, but when the Republic of China troops adapt to the tactics and weapons of the empire and gradually accumulate strength, I am afraid that in the future, the security of North China will become more and more serious. severe.

With a heavy heart, Yamamoto continued to move forward with the train.

"Your Majesty."

Following the ticking sound of the telegram, a team member came over: "Lieutenant General Yansong went to inspect the surrounding areas of Baoding today, and he ordered us to get off the car and go directly to Shun County on the left side of Baoding."

At this time, Yamamoto was only two hours away from Baoding.

"Ah."

Yamamoto nodded, but narrowed his eyes.

He remembered something.

At the beginning, one of his backers, a staunch supporter of special operations, General Miyano Michiichi, chief of staff of the North China Front Army, was also attacked by Li Yunlong halfway because he was inspecting the surrounding area in Jiao County, and he never returned.

As a special forces commander, after arriving at a place, Yamamoto would subconsciously evaluate the security and defense system here.

Baoding's defense system is very strict, but in his opinion, because the commander does not pay attention to it, and has not conducted exercises, there are many loopholes, the soldiers did not search carefully, and the population is large and complicated, which is more complicated than Taiyuan. Raiding is much easier.

If he led the special agent team to attack here, it would definitely succeed easily.

However, this is Baoding, which is more than 700 miles away from Shou County, and there is a warning area such as Yangquan in the middle, so it is impossible for Li Yunlong to send someone here.

······
at the same time.

A city gate in Baoding.

The city gate was suddenly opened, and a group of ghost soldiers rushed out, and then spread along the gate, driving away the people at the gate of the city. In a hurry, some people were even forced to drop their parcels and camel sacks.

The devil continued to advance along the road while cleaning up these relics.

"Are these going to be cleaned?"

At a place about 300 meters away from the gate of the city, a ghost pointed to several sacks in the ditch beside the road and said.

He just saw that these sacks were heavy and filled with stones. He didn't know who was so boring and put stones into the old sacks.It's just that he didn't notice that a gray rope was going down the ditch to Yansheng in the distance.

"Do not care."

Behind him, a ghost captain waved his hand.

In the end, these hundreds of devils lined up neatly along the road, all the way to hundreds of meters away.Some devils also spread around.

A few minutes later, a truck drove out. In front of the truck was a rake, pushing the truck all the way along the road. This is a mine-sweeping vehicle made by the devils, which can clear all mines.

Although the devils in Baoding disdain Yamamoto's special operations, they have learned a lesson from the experience of the First Army and the attack on the pilots before, and strengthened their vigilance and patrols. Minesweeper.

Ten minutes later, a convoy drove out of the city, led by two armored vehicles, and followed by an obviously different armored vehicle in the middle.Behind is a row of trucks and motorcycles.

"coming."

Seeing the Devils convoy coming out, Zhang Dabiao's eyes lit up: "Get ready."

Beside him, Wang Gensheng tightly held the hemp rope in his hand.

Because there are devils around, and they have just left the city, the speed of the devil's convoy is very slow. It took a full minute to arrive at the location where the bomb was piled up. Pull the hemp rope in your hand.

boom····

An unprecedented violent explosion sounded loudly. The violent explosion fireball was accompanied by an explosion cloud tens of meters high and tens of meters wide, and the gravel and soil spread hundreds of meters away along with the shock wave.

"Walk···"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Dabiao and Wang Gensheng turned their heads and ran away.

The Devil's Highway was only a little more than four meters wide, and nearly [-] kilograms of explosives in sacks were placed in the roadside ditch. The armored vehicle that the Devil General was riding in was less than five meters away from the explosion point.

Don't think about it, it's dead.The kind that even the emperor can't save.
