Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 204 Chapter 203, Calculating Each Other
Lao Li's brain was spinning faster than the wheels of a car! So he only needed to think about it for a moment before he knew what kind of situation the new regiment would face next.
"Rice, ammunition, explosives, tools for road construction... This is a fucking military train, and it's carrying supplies for the Japanese! Look at these tools, hammers, steel chisels, hacksaws, shovels, pickaxes, crowbars... These are all tools for the Japanese to build roads!" At the temporary command post of the New 1st Regiment, Li Yunlong muttered to himself, but his mind was rapidly calculating to see if he could outwit the Japanese.

"Where is Xiao Cui? Call Xiao Cui over!" Li Yunlong shouted loudly.

Soon, a soldier in his early 20s appeared beside Li Yunlong, waiting for Li Yunlong's instructions.

"Xiao Cui, you have learned the layout of directional blasting devices from Peregrine, right?" Li Yunlong asked.

"That's right, Commander, I learned it from the instructor! But we didn't have the chance to use it." Cui Ming answered with an earnest look in his eyes.

"Haha, very good! Now, you follow the comrades from the first battalion and go to the front of the train to find materials immediately. If possible, prepare materials for 100 explosion points for me! In addition, arrange the fuses on the train, and then blow up the train directly!" said Li Yunlong.

"Yes, Commander!" Cui Ming saluted and went to the railway accompanied by his comrades.

At this time, of the more than 2600 people in the New 4st Regiment, except for the few hundred people from the 2th Battalion who had not returned from transporting rails, except for the 3nd and rd Battalions who had ambushed on the east and west sides, and except for the soldiers of the railway protection team who had already withdrawn from the middle, the rest were gathered in front of the overturned train.

More than 1000 people surrounded the collapsed train. Supplies were constantly being sent out from the carriages, and soldiers were constantly taking away the supplies.

"We don't need the rice anymore. The battalion commander said to take the ammunition first! The regiment commander also agreed!" The company instructor of the 3rd Company shouted loudly, feeling so distressed in his heart.

This is all white rice! What he wanted most since he was a child was to eat a meal of steamed rice made of all refined rice, but it was a pity that he couldn't take it away. He also knew that what the regiment commander and the battalion commander said was right. Compared to the rice eaten in the stomach, those boxes of bullets and shells were what the troops needed most! In the past, there was no time to seize so many bullets at once, and they must be taken away!

"Damn it, each person must only carry two boxes of bullets. Any more will affect the marching speed!" On the side of another carriage, Battalion Commander Niu Youtian stood at the highest point, commanding hundreds of new recruits from the replenishment battalion to carry the bullets and take them away quickly.

"This won't work. Let's find a place to dig a few more holes and hide some of the bullets!" Li Yunlong had already arrived at the scene. Looking at the soldiers moving like ants, Li Yunlong made a decision.

What does it mean to become rich in one bite? The soldiers of the New 1st Regiment have this feeling now! Moreover, all the soldiers have this feeling! While the road protection team was wiped out, the soldiers of the 100st Company carried boxes of bullets to the ambush positions on both sides. Then, each soldier in the ambush had 80 more bullets for combat. Even the mortar platoon led by Zhuzi was sent 90 mortar shells. Although they were the devil's 90mm mortar shells, Zhuzi also had the mm mortars captured by the devil! That's right, the two mortars captured in the Xiangchenggu ambush were distributed to the New st Regiment by the brigade commander, and then the Type infantry gun of the New st Regiment was taken away.

How could the Japanese not hear the noise of the New 150st Regiment? Anyway, the Eighth Route Army had sabotaged the railway more than once or twice, so the Japanese in Shuicun and Dongqiao strongholds did not need orders from their superiors. After informing their superiors of the situation, they each mobilized troops from the east and west sides to the place where the train overturned.

Tick-tick-tick-tick-tick... The telegraph machine kept making noises. At the temporary brigade headquarters of the 386th Brigade, Xiao Wang, a signalman, suddenly received a lengthy telegram from the New st Regiment. After Xiao Wang finished translating the message, he was a little unconvinced by his own translation. Then, he took the code book and confirmed it again before walking up to the brigade commander.

"Okay, don't be surprised. This time, Li Yunlong attacked the Japanese military train carrying supplies and ammunition! Two full carriages of bullets, one carriage of artillery shells and grenades, three carriages of rice, half a carriage of explosives and construction tools, and one carriage of new military uniforms. This is obviously sent to a certain division of the Japanese." The brigade commander didn't even need a decoding book. He automatically translated it by listening to the rhythm of the radio waves.

"Then, how do we reply?" Xiao Wang was not surprised at his brigade commander's ability to translate telegrams. After all, he had already been shocked. So, he just asked how to reply to the New 1st Regiment.

"I agree with Li Yunlong's battle plan! The ambush will continue, and we should take away as much supplies as possible. If we can't take away anything, we should blow it up! Let Li Yunlong lead the New 1st Regiment to continue fighting on one side of the railway line, and let him decide the time by himself. Once we find the main force of the Japanese coming, we should immediately move the New 1st Regiment to the south and break out in a dispersed manner! If necessary, we can go to Liangjia Village, Weijia Village, and the vicinity of Tianjiazhai..."

The brigade commander's order was quickly converted into radio waves by Xiao Wang and sent to the radio station of the New 1st Regiment. This radio station captured from the Beiyue District was extremely precious to the New 1st Regiment, and the signal soldiers all followed Li Yunlong's regiment headquarters. Therefore, when the signal soldiers translated the telegram, Li Yunlong immediately took over the telegram.

"Not bad, it's pretty much what I thought! It seems that the brigade commander is very confident in the tunnel warfare!" After receiving the brigade commander's instructions, Li Yunlong also started the work boldly.

At the same time, the First Army’s headquarters, Meijiro Umezu, also received a report from the Dongqiao stronghold among many telegrams: at 2:15 a.m., a train roared 3 kilometers west of the stronghold. When they approached for reconnaissance, they found that the truck had overturned and that the enemy had attacked the train...

"What? That was the supply and ammunition replenishment for the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade, and it was robbed like that?" Umezu immediately thought of the consequences of missing this truckload of supplies.

The Japanese prepared for the nine-way siege for a whole year, just to take over southeastern Shanxi in one fell swoop. Therefore, the stockpiled materials were sufficient, and there was a steady stream of combat materials shipped to the front line. However, at this critical juncture, the railway was destroyed and the train was disrupted, just like a puncture in the blood vessel for blood transfusion, and blood was oozing out!
However, after thinking about it, Mei Jin's anger disappeared and he even smiled!
"Order: The 4th Independent Mixed Brigade mobilizes the Qingshui Battalion and the Gaoqiao Battalion to immediately set out from Yangquan and Ping'an County to the east to block the Eighth Route Army that is destroying the railway! Order the Qingyue Battalion of the Jingxing garrison to immediately march westward from Jingxing and go straight to Baijing Town along the Jiuguan line. Order the Xiaoquan Battalion of the Niangziguan garrison to send a squadron of troops to Dongqiao..."
