Chapter 116 Armored Train (Ask for a Monthly Pass!)
When Zhang Shijie left the brigade headquarters, he brought more than 500 personnel from the 386th Brigade Guard Regiment of the Eighth Route Army to the Independent Regiment, as well as a dozen cooking soldiers sent by the brigade commander.

At the same time, a staff officer of the brigade headquarters also led a company of troops to accompany the Red Police Force, preparing to receive the original weapons and equipment of the independent regiment.

The Eighth Route Army is not as rich and powerful as Zhang Shijie, and they look down on the devil's weapons and equipment.

The Independent Regiment now has nearly 20 rifles and more than [-] light and heavy machine guns and mortars, which is a fortune for the Eighth Route Army!

These equipments are enough for the 386 Brigade Guard Regiment to carry out a complete refit!

And the wounded soldier who was rescued by Zhang Shijie in Heihuzhai before was also sent back to the brigade headquarters during this material delivery.

Because Zhang Shijie's troops had too many things to do, Zhang Shijie forgot to send Li Yunlong there the last time he came!

Zhang Shijie once again took a convoy of more than 300 vehicles and drove towards the station of the Independence Regiment.

At this time, Kong Jie, head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, was still in the regiment headquarters discussing with Li Wenying how to expand the base area in the later stage, and was still ignorant of the decision of the brigade headquarters.

The current independent regiment has been gradually supplemented to more than 1700 people after it has equipment, and because the stock of weapons and equipment is now exceptionally rich, the independent regiment is still developing bases around it.

With a base area, there will naturally be no shortage of soldiers.Kong Jie also plans to expand the number of troops to 2000 before the beginning of spring.

A large group of 2000 people!
While Kong Jie and Li Wenying were enjoying themselves in the regiment headquarters, a messenger from the Second Battalion rushed to report.

"Leader, political commissar! It's not good, there is a large convoy coming towards us from the direction of the Second Battalion! It looks like there are hundreds of cars!"

Kong Jie and Li Wenying jumped off the kang immediately after hearing the words, and issued an order: "Order the second battalion to pay attention to the movement of this army, and don't fire rashly! All troops gather and prepare for battle!"

"Yes!"

Since the regiment-level troops of the Eighth Route Army were not equipped with radio stations, the independent regiment did not receive orders from the brigade headquarters from top to bottom, so it did not know the news of the arrival of Zhang Shijie's troops.

The person responsible for conveying the order was in Zhang Shijie's convoy.

Just when Kong Jie led the troops to ambush the vanguard of the convoy, Kong Jie saw the red flag of the lead car at a glance.

Red flag?Hammer and sickle?

Unsure, he looked into the car with binoculars, and saw that the people in the car were not wearing the khaki military uniform of the little devil, but two people in the gray military uniform of the Eighth Route Army and two people in green military uniforms.

The green military uniform also has a bright touch of red!
Kong Jie immediately understood that this army was Zhang Shijie's army!
And when Zhang Shijie's vanguard was about one kilometer away from the ambush area of ​​the Independence Regiment, they also discovered the ambush troops hiding on both sides of the road.

"Attention everyone, get out of the car! Prepare to fight!"

Under the order of the platoon leader, the soldiers of the vanguard immediately stopped and got out of the car, ready to fight.

The four infantry squads dispersed in the direction of the independent regiment according to the tactical formation, and the rest of the personnel controlled the light and heavy machine guns on the 212 jeeps, preparing to provide fire support to the infantry going forward.

But Kong Jie saw through the binoculars that this army was indeed Zhang Shijie's army, and immediately sent a company to contact the opponent.

In the unlikely event that Comrade Zhang's troops opened fire, the losses of the Independence Regiment must be immeasurable!
After all, the soldiers of the Independence Regiment had seen how Zhang Shijie's troops attacked Panlong Town.

Once there is a firefight, Zhang Shijie's shells will definitely hit it soon!The firepower density of the Red Police Force is no joke!
The first company commander of the independent regiment immediately revealed his identity after receiving Kong Jie's order, and made contact with Zhang Shijie's troops.

"Platoon leader, I am the second squad. I have confirmed that the opposing unit is the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, over."

"Roger that!"

After receiving the report from the second squad leader, the first platoon leader immediately issued an order for all the vanguard troops not to fire, and then reported to Zhang Shijie.

"BJ, I'm Shanghai. I found the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Please give instructions!"

After receiving the notification, Zhang Shijie handed the walkie-talkie to Staff Officer Li of the 386 Brigade Headquarters. Staff Officer Li picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Comrade, I am Staff Officer Li of the 386 Brigade. Please convey the order for me to order all the troops of the Independent Regiment to arrive at Regiment assemble!"

"Shanghai understands."

Then a platoon leader brought a walkie-talkie and two Eighth Route Army soldiers to the independent regiment's position.

"I've seen you before. Are you Comrade Zhang's unit? I'm Kong Jie, head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Eh? Company Commander Wang, are you there?" Kong Jie said when he saw a platoon leader and Company Commander Wang of the guard regiment.

"Hello, Commander Kong, we have been ordered to convey the order of Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade that all troops of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army gather at the regiment headquarters and prepare for training!"

Hearing this, Kong Jie looked at Company Commander Wang at the side, and saw Company Commander Wang nodded to him.

A platoon leader took the walkie-talkie and said, "Commander Kong, the opposite is Staff Officer Li of the 386th Brigade, you can check with Staff Officer Li."

After Kong Jie and Staff Officer Li verified, Li Wenying and Kong Jie immediately ordered the whole regiment to assemble at the regiment headquarters.

Not long after, Zhang Shijie also arrived at the independent regiment headquarters with the main force.

"Commander Kong and Political Commissar Li, according to the orders of the Deputy Commander-in-Chief and the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Eighth Route Army! The 386th Brigade Independent Regiment will participate in the 3861 Experimental Plan of the Eighth Route Army Logistics Support Regiment from now on! All members of the regiment hand over all weapons, equipment and materials to prepare for boarding , Go to the Eighth Route Army Logistics Support Regiment for training!"

After Staff Li gave the order, Kong Jie said to Staff Li with pain all over his face: "Commander Li, our independent regiment didn't make any mistakes. I just took away all the equipment of our regiment. I can't tell the whole regiment." Tell me! How about you help me to intercede with the boss! I beg you, Kong Jie."

Staff Officer Li replied: "Commander Kong, this is not to punish you. If Comrade Zhang hadn't personally selected your regiment for this good thing, others would not have such a good opportunity! To be honest, this spot is given to any regiment leader. You can wake up from your dreams with a smile!"

Kong Jie and Li Wenying looked dazed, but due to confidentiality reasons, it was impossible to explain this matter to them before arriving at the base.

And no matter how Kong Jie and Li Wenying asked, they could only get the training and 3861 experimental plan from Staff Li, but they couldn't ask a word about the specific content.

But when Kong Jie saw that the 386 soldiers who originally belonged to the 500th Brigade Guard Regiment were merged into the independent regiment, the two also understood that this must be a good thing!
So Kong Jie immediately issued an order for the troops to hand over all weapons, equipment and supplies, and boarded Zhang Shijie's convoy.

"Adjutant Zhang?!" Kong Jie was very happy when he saw Zhang Ning, and quickly asked, "Adjutant Zhang, which unit is this Eighth Route Army logistics support group referring to? Why haven't I heard of it? Also, what is this 3861 experimental plan?" ?”

"Commander Kong, the Eighth Route Army's logistics support group is us. As for the 3861 experimental plan, you will know when you get there! Anyway, after your independent group is strengthened, it must be the strongest in the Eighth Route Army's designation except us."

Hearing Zhang Ning's words, Kong Jie burst into ecstasy again, realizing that this must be a good thing Zhang Shijie won for him!

This is good news!
As the work in the independent regiment was basically over, after all the soldiers of the independent regiment boarded the car, Zhang Shijie also led the team back to the base area again.

But when passing near the Zhengtai Railway, an accident happened suddenly.

"BJ, this is Guangzhou. I found a Japanese armored train near our department. There are 7 carriages in total. Please give instructions!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shijie immediately replied: "Guangzhou, I am BJ. After waiting for the train to pass, lay explosives on the rails! Wait for BJ's order!"

"Guangzhou understands!"

"Attention all units, all stop and prepare to fight!"

After giving the order, Zhang Shijie said to Zhang Ning: "It just so happens that I am short of funds for the base, and the little devil sent it to the door by himself! Lao Zhang, order the troops to set up ambushes on both sides of the railway! Plant explosives on the railway, and wait for the devil's armor Detonate the train as soon as it arrives! Blow up the railway and take away the armored locomotives in a wave! Recoilless guns and anti-aircraft guns launch the attack on the carriages of the train! This time we will definitely not have time to stop the devils from calling for help, the entire army must use the fastest Solve the battle quickly! Do you understand?"

"Yes! Chief!"

After Zhang Ning answered, he immediately issued orders to each unit and assigned tasks.

Seeing this, Kong Jie and Li Wenying also ran over immediately, and asked Zhang Shijie, "Comrade Zhang, what happened?"

"Captain Kong, take your troops to help us keep an eye on the vehicle, and we'll go and get Leng Zi to ambush the devils."

Since the independent regiment had no weapons and equipment at this time, and could not participate in combat missions, Kong Jie had no choice but to lead the troops to guard the convoy.

Zhang Shijie also immediately led his troops to the railway line, preparing to ambush the Japanese army.

With the rapid preparations of the Red Police Force, the preparations for the ambush of each unit have been completed, and they are reporting in turn.

"Prepare for the battle in Shanghai!"

"Zhengzhou explosives are placed!"

"Baoding and SJZ are ready for battle!"

"Dalian and Shenyang recoilless guns are ready!"

"Harbin anti-aircraft guns are ready!"

"The Guangzhou explosives have been planted!"

"Attention all units. I am BJ. I am waiting for the Japanese army to arrive at the ambush position. Pay attention to the timing of the explosion in Zhengzhou. The signal to start the battle is based on the explosion signal in Zhengzhou! Are all units clear?"

"clear!"

"The investigation team pays attention to the train distance!"

"The investigation team understands!"

As the various units of the Red Police Force were ready before the arrival of the train, Zhang Shijie and others also quietly waited for the devil's train.

Since the trains of this era were driven by steam engines, they were not so fast.

Ten minutes after Zhang Shijie and others set up the arrangement, the devil's train was driving towards the ambush area of ​​the red police force with thick steam and smoke.

Just after the devil's armored train arrived at the predetermined location, the engineer platoon leader code-named Zhengzhou immediately issued an order.

"Detonation!"
