Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 273 The Gunshots on the North-South River IV
From the upper reaches of the Nanbei River to the north for forty or fifty miles, and then along the river to the west to the confluence of the Nanbei River and the Changshui River, Qian Xiaobao turned into the Changshui River with a sledge and walked along the river to the southeast.

On both sides of the river are tall weeds that are as tall as a person, and there is no one person's house for dozens of miles.

Walking on the river, Qian Xiaobao heard the long honking of the train several times. Although he couldn't see it, the river was almost parallel to the railway hundreds of meters away.

Thanks to this pair of sledges, if Qian Xiaobao and Xiao Linxun were allowed to carry things for such a long distance, even if they were exhausted, they would not be able to finish the journey before the train arrived.

In order to ensure time, Qian Xiaobao didn't take much rest along the way, until the sunset when he looked up the slope through the gaps in the weeds and saw the Erlong Mountain Tun that he had passed last year.

Qian Xiaobao pulled the sledge into the weeds beside the river.

It should be more than four o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still five hours before the train arrives at nine o'clock in the evening. You can eat something, sleep, and recharge your batteries.

Qian Xiaobao chewed the big pancake a few times and spit it out in the palm of his hand, and brought it to the big yellow dog's mouth. The big yellow dog stuck out his tongue and licked the big pancake in Qian Xiaobao's hand.

"Don't let it bark when you're doing things." Qian Xiaobao said to Xiao Linxun.

"It didn't bark along the way." Xiao Linxun said while stroking the yellow dog's head.

"When we go back, the old man and the old lady will not be there anymore, so let's take it away." Xiao Linxun begged.

It is difficult to find food when a dog is thrown into the wild in freezing weather, and it will not live for a long time.

"It's not impossible to take a dog on the train. I'm afraid that because it will attract the attention of others, especially the police, we will immediately think of the two of us when we investigate it in the future." Qian Xiaobao said.

"Sit separately when I go back, I will take it with me. As long as you don't attract attention, it doesn't matter." Xiao Linxun said.

Qian Xiaobao looked at Xiao Linxun's face.This girl has already started to think about going back, and she may have no concept of the danger of what she will do in the near future.

Maybe after tonight, the two of them won't be able to go back at all.

Standing up and picking a lot of weeds, Qian Xiaobao lay down on it and said to Xiao Linxun, "Wake me up in three hours!" Then he fell asleep.

Xiao Linxun also snuggled up beside Qian Xiaobao, half asleep and half awake, only the big yellow dog kept its ears open as if it was on guard.

When Qian Xiaobao was woken up by Xiao Linxun, the sky was already full of stars.

He got up quickly and held a short crowbar to find a small tree as tall as a person among the weeds.

Qian Xiaobao squatted down and used a crowbar to poke the soil and kept shaking it. It took more than ten minutes to finally pull out the small tree.

Qian Xiaobao put the little tree on the sledge and asked Xiao Linxun to sit on it too.He pulled up the sledge and continued walking east.

After walking forward for another hour, Qian Xiaobao hid the sledge in the weeds, carried the luggage roll, and asked Xiao Linxun to climb up the slope with the small tree on his shoulder.

Qian Xiaobao climbed up the 400-meter-high soil slope in one breath, put the luggage roll next to the railway, and then turned around to pick up Xiao Linxun.

"Hurry up, time is running out." Qian Xiaobao said.

In order to be farther away from Erlong Mountain Tun, he deliberately walked a certain distance to the east.

The last time Qian Xiaobao passed by here was very close to Erlongshantun, but it didn't take long for three or four men with guns to catch up.

Opening the luggage roll, Qian Xiaobao tore off the cloth outside the bedding with three hisses.

He spread a quilt on the ground, and then pulled gravel from the railway embankment onto the quilt.Lifting the four corners of the quilt, Qian Xiaobao wrapped more than a dozen catties of crushed stones inside.

Bringing the mousetrap and explosives, Qian Xiaobao put the mousetrap between the two rails.

Breaking the mousetrap Qian Xiaobao raised his head and said to Xiao Linxun: "Hold the mousetrap and don't let go!"

Kobayashi squatted down and pressed the open mousetrap with both hands.

Qian Xiaobao hurriedly started to connect the wires, and placed the explosives next to the railroad tracks on the side of the hillside.

In this way, when the explosive explodes, it can ensure that the train rushes down the hillside.

Qian Xiaobao replaced Xiao Linxun and pressed his hands on the mousetrap.

"Press that bag of stones on it!" Qian Xiaobao said to Xiao Linxun.

Xiao Linxun picked up more than ten kilograms of gravel and threw it directly on Qian Xiaobao's hands.

"If I let go, the two of us will be in heaven now!" Qian Xiaobao grinned in pain.

He carefully pulled his hands out from under the gravel bag, which held the mousetrap firmly.

Qian Xiaobao dragged the little tree over again, tied a piece of iron wire to the trunk, and tied the other end to the gravel bag.

After checking that the two ends of the wire were firmly connected, Qian Xiaobao sat down on the ground and panted heavily.

In fact, the operation time just now was not long and not tiring.But due to nervousness, Qian Xiaobao was still sweating all over.

This small tree is more than half a meter high even if it is lying on the ground.

When the train passes by, it will inevitably drag the small tree that fell on the track, thereby pulling the bag of gravel, then the mouse trap will be shot up and closed, and finally the explosive will be detonated.

"How long until the train passes by here?" Qian Xiaobao asked.

"It's still half an hour!" Xiao Lin Xun said, looking at his pocket watch.

"Put Dong XZ by the side of the road, let's hide too." Qian Xiaobao said.

Hiding in the bushes next to the railway, Qian Xiaobao grabbed a handful of snow and stuffed it into his mouth, then devoured the big pancakes.

The things I have done so far are just drizzle, and the real work is yet to come.When I want to eat, I don't have time to eat.

Xiao Linxun hugged the big yellow dog and kept stroking it to prevent it from making any noise.

Qian Xiaobao put all three pistols in front of him for a final check.

He opened the safety of the Luger pistol and handed it to Xiao Linxun, saying: "After the accident, as long as the person is not me, I will shoot!"

The cold wind blew on Qian Xiaobao, who was sweating profusely, and he couldn't help shivering.

Looking at the railway in front of him, everything returned to normal, but there was a vague black shadow on the railway track.

It was a small tree that was placed in the middle of the railroad tracks.

There was a faint sound of a train whistle in the distance.Qian Xiaobao couldn't help but clenched the two guns in his hand.

In the silent mountain forest, the whistle of the train can be heard far away.

Qian Xiaobao waited for a long time but did not see the shadow of the train.

The handle of the gun, which was originally cold, was now wet from his grip.

"Woo-!"

Another siren sounded.

Qian Xiaobao stood up abruptly and looked towards the west.

In the distance, a long black dragon winds its way.The faint sound of the wheels colliding with the rails hit Qian Xiaobao's heart every time!
The train Kukukuku was getting closer.

Qian Xiaobao suddenly turned around and lay on Xiao Linxun and Big Yellow Dog.

The train passed the two people with the sound of wind, and then there was a loud bang.

Then there was the constant rumble.

When Qian Xiaobao raised his head again, he saw the train turning right in front of his eyes and rushing towards the hillside!
It was as if a black python was entering hell.

　Explosion is not that simple. In fact, I studied mining when I was in college, and blasting is a course.
