Rise from the sword

Chapter 56 Rage

The first wave to arrive in Shuangfeng Town was the Guizi Railway Patrol.

The importance of the railway to the devils goes without saying.

In this era, there are no highways and provincial roads with eight vertical and eight horizontal lines, only soil roads with twists and turns and potholes, and the devil's small bean truck can't afford the material needs of hundreds of thousands of troops, so the Japanese army has formulated a road The strategy of occupying the surrounding important cities along the railway line.

Naturally, the protection of the railway by the devils is also first-class.

Nearly a hundred railway patrols patrolled day and night to guard against any attack.

The railway patrol team is based on small teams. The number of people is smaller than that of the ordinary Devil Army team, but the combat effectiveness is far higher than that of the ordinary team. As for the reason, each railway patrol team is equipped with an armored vehicle.

Armored vehicles are equipped with train wheels, which can run on railways, and off-road rubber tires, which can run on roads and are easy to switch.

Even if the Japanese armored vehicles have always been thin and thick, the armor is only eight millimeters, but for the Republic of China army, which lacks anti-armor weapons, it is a complete disaster.

The thin crust and big stuffing instead brings the advantage of being able to travel on soft soil.

Shuangfeng Town is only twenty miles away from the railway. When dozens of Guizi Railway Patrol Team arrived in Shuangfeng Town, the military station and the garrison headquarters building were still burning, and the fire was still very strong.

You can even see feral cats warming themselves comfortably in the nearby fire.

"What happened here?"

The captain of the Devil's Railway Patrol sneered without any heartache, and even had a schadenfreude smile.

It wasn't that the railway they were in charge of was attacked, and a group of trash died.

What is there to suffer?

Captain Little Devil approached the burning station, stretched out his hands, and his face was rosy.

The fire is so warm!
"About an hour ago, a group of guerrillas attacked Shuangfeng Town, killing people at the military station and the town's garrison headquarters," replied the devil he sent out to ask.

Surrounded by townspeople, it is not difficult to find out these things.

"A bunch of rubbish, there are heavy troops stationed everywhere, and the guerrillas can actually touch this place"

The devil squad leader's tone was gloating.

The patrols of the Pinghan Railway are under the direct command of the North China Front Army. The soldiers are all first-class soldiers, or ghost soldiers who have descended from the first-class divisions. They have high self-esteem and look down on these third-line divisions or police forces.

In their eyes, except for the first-class divisions, the others are just a group of wastes who eat dry rice...

As for the navy, that's horse manure!
At this time, the garrison brigade stationed in Shijiazhuang also came over to a team. Before the team could figure out the situation, they were panting and met with a burst of ridicule from the captain of the railway patrol:
"Can you guys be more serious, don't think about being lazy and wasting imperial resources all day long?"

"The town so close to the railway line was attacked by more than 100 guerrillas, and even the military depots and warehouses were burned down. It is because of you that the jihad of the empire is progressing slowly everywhere."

"idiot··"

The captain of the security team was about to scold back when he saw that the other party was a railway patrol, and immediately shut up.

The Japanese army has a strict hierarchy within its ranks.

The Rail Patrol ranks far above them.

This equipment can be seen, not to mention armored vehicles, just machine guns, the opponent is equipped with a Type [-] machine gun, this machine gun is similar to the enemy's machine gun, imitating the Czech shape, but it uses [-] rounds of curved magazines , and they can only use the old and problem-prone Type [-] machine guns.

Moreover, now they are out of the basket, and the enemy has attacked the barracks.

If he dares to talk back, the other party will definitely fan him with a big ear.

"We continue to patrol the railway line..."

The captain of the railway patrol ran away after scolding.

As for going after the guerrillas...
It's none of my business!

My mission is to patrol the railway and keep it safe.

It was not the railway that the guerrillas attacked.

Hmph, forgive them for not daring to attack the railway...
"Go and grab a few people nearby and ask about the situation"

Looking at the ashes of the military station and the garrison headquarters, the commander of the Devils garrison who had just been scolded was as black as the bottom of a pot. Seeing that the Devils soldier ordered by him paused, he immediately kicked him. :

"Baga, hurry up!"

Hearing that the Shuangfeng Town Military Station was attacked, Sanhao Dazuo, the commander of the North China Guard Brigade of the Japanese Army stationed in Shijiazhuang, broke into a cold sweat and rushed over with a group of people.

When Colonel Sanhao drove to Shuangfeng Town, nearly two hours had passed since the attack.

"Where did the attackers come from? What about the losses?"

As soon as he got off the bus, Colonel Sanhao couldn't wait to ask.

In the middle of the night in February, and the weather was more than ten degrees below zero, the forehead of this Chief Sanhao was faintly sweating.

The one who lives here is Colonel Ikeda Kyuichi...

Don't let this go wrong...

Master Sanhao prayed in his heart.

Although his chief officer is only the middle officer, he is a younger brother in the eyes of others!

He has a deep domestic background, and has a large number of contacts in the military, political, and business circles. It is far from being comparable to that of the garrison commander, who is not loved by his grandfather and who is not loved by his father.

He wanted this man to live in the urban area of ​​Shijiazhuang before, but they refused, so he had to live outside the city, and asked to live in a Japanese-style private room, so he wanted a quiet area. As a last resort, he could only have heavy troops in Shuangfeng Town. The assistant's town builds a private room...

Unexpectedly, this place was attacked on the first day of living here...

"Report, Shuangfeng Town Military Station and garrison headquarters were completely blown up by the enemy"

"The soldiers in the barracks, the police from the garrison headquarters, and other people living in the barracks should all be killed, but the bodies have not been exhumed because of the fire, so we can't be sure. We are speeding up the cleanup, but so far we haven't found any survivor···"

The news from the squad leader made Colonel Sanhao go dark.

But there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Ikeda Zhongzuo is an elite. He has studied in Germany and is proficient in so-called special operations. One person is worth five ordinary soldiers. He should be able to escape...
Isn't this corpse still not counted...

However, reality hit him with a fatal blow.

The first team leader who arrived reported to him: "A total of 37 charred bodies were found in the military depot, and it was confirmed that all the people in the military depot were killed, and the three tons of medicines in the warehouse were all stolen. It's..."

"idiot···"

Hearing the news, Colonel Sanhao's eyes instantly turned red, and a big-eared scraper fanned the face of the lieutenant squad leader who came to report, causing the corners of his mouth to bleed.

"Who, who came to attack Shuangfeng Town, find out for me and kill them all"

Pulling out his samurai sword, Colonel Sanhao waved it wildly.

Carefully avoiding the blade, the team leader ninja's hot cheeks said: "According to the remaining footprints, the attackers should have come from the west. There are about a hundred people, with about [-] mules and horses."

Because of the previous slap, the team leader's voice was a little distorted:
"This group of people has been hiding in the woods on the left side of the town before, and they have been hiding for a long time. It seems that they have planned to attack Shuangfeng Town."

The devil is not a scumbag. Although it is at night, it is easy to find the traces of the assault company by following the footprints left by the assault company.Without the constant goose feather snow, the footprints would not disappear so easily.

"Premeditated, more than 100 people, with more than 30 mules and horses, came from the east"

A staff officer on the side was talking to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said to Zuo Sanhao:
"I remembered. I received a report from Yangquan before that a group of more than 100 people, with thirty mules and horses, passed through the Yangquan defense zone at night on a snowy day, and this group even cleaned their footprints on purpose."

"Could it be that this group of people attacked the Shuangfeng Town Military Station?"

"Yangquan?"

Chief Sanhao frowned: "Yangquan seems to be more than 170 miles away from Shuangfeng Town. The guerrillas ran so far to attack Shuangfeng Town just to grab a few tons of medicine?"

"It's very likely that the guerrillas are very short of medicines, and our blockade has made it impossible for them to buy medicines from the outside. Although Shuangfeng Town has our heavy troops stationed around it, its own defense strength is very poor..." The staff guessed. .

"Wait, codebook!"

Colonel Sanhao suddenly remembered: "Follow Zuo Ikeda and come with Zhongfeng Township. There is a communication class at the military station in Shuangfeng Town, and they have a code book."

"Go and see if the codebook has been burned"

The codebook has special marks, and special traces can be seen after being burned.

"Hi"

The team leader, who had not wiped off the blood on the corners of his mouth, hurried to the wreckage that had been extinguished soon, and then instructed dozens of devils under his command to rummage.

"Commander, the call from the Jinan Command, Chief of Staff Suzuki, Your Excellency is waiting for you, he asked about this attack"

At this time, a staff officer came and brought bad news to Colonel Sanhao.

Colonel Sanhao's expression froze.

How did your Excellency the Chief of Staff know?
And so fast?
His doubtful staff also gave him the answer: "Your Excellency Suzuki's tone was very angry. He got news from the commander of North China that our area was attacked. This time, he mainly asked about the situation of Colonel Ikeda Jiuichi."

"It was the Railway Patrol who sent the cable to the North China Command"

The staff officer's remarks suddenly made Ikeda Jiuichi's heart suddenly rise.

"It's troublesome..."

Major General Suzuki Rado, Chief of Staff of the Second Army of the North China Front, it is said that Suzuki Rado and Ikeda Jiuichi are both disciples of the general Honjo Shigeru.

What kind of anger would His Excellency the Chief of Staff be when he learned that his junior brother was killed in battle?

Sanhao Dazuo suddenly felt a shiver all over his body.

"Your Excellency, we have not found any traces of burning the codebook. It seems that it was captured by the enemy." At this time, the team leader with bloodstains on his mouth brought another bad news.

Suddenly, the sweat on Colonel Sanhao's forehead suddenly seeped out, and in this winter, his whole body was actually steaming.

In his jurisdiction, the codebook was seized by the enemy, which was enough to bring him down!

"idiot···"

He became furious, roared, and slapped the unlucky squad leader in the face.

This slap was so powerful that the squad leader, who was originally 1.6 meters short, was blown away.
