Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 205 Chapter 204, Lao Li is greedy
"Commander, isn't it too early to send the reserve troops now?" After Umezu finished giving the order, Chief of Staff Iida spoke up and made a suggestion in an inquiring tone.

"Don't doubt my orders! The reserve troops are used to ensure the safety of the railway lines in the rear. Now is the time to use the reserve troops! Moreover, since the Eighth Route Army can destroy the railway, it is not a small force that is taking action. This is a good opportunity for us to catch a big fish! Look at the map. As long as our troops are dispatched in time and arrive at the designated location before noon tomorrow, the Eighth Route Army that destroyed the railway will be surrounded in this mountainous area. There is an old Chinese saying, 'Catch a turtle in a jar', which is exactly what it means!" Mei Jin said.

Since the commander was so confident, Iida did not refute, but passed the order to each stronghold through the radio and telephone. So, while Li Yunlong was still waiting for an ambush, the Japanese moved out. This time, Li Yunlong was aiming for the reinforcements from the two strongholds, but Meijin regarded the New 1st Regiment as a big fish to catch.

Well, the New 1st Regiment is indeed a big fish, after all, it is the main force. Moreover, the Japanese have never destroyed the main force of the Eighth Route Army, which is incredible.

In the dark night, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment did not dare to delay at all. Those who were responsible for transporting supplies, each of them carried something and walked quickly on the mountain road. Those who were responsible for setting up ambushes also felt their responsibility at this time and were determined not to let go of any Japanese soldier.

In such a tense environment, the Japanese troops from the east and west also arrived at the place where the New 1st Regiment was ambushing.

Ce ce ce ce... Ce ce ce ce... It was still the strategy of alerting the enemy. Under the traction of the rail armored vehicle, the Japanese soldiers who were sitting in ordinary rail cars quickly rushed to the accident site, and fired machine gun bullets at both sides of the railway from time to time, intending to let the Eighth Route Army fight back so that they could respond immediately.

The ambushing troops were already familiar with the Japanese tactics and remained motionless until given an order.

Finally, in the east, at the ambush point of the Second Battalion, a group of Japanese soldiers had penetrated into the ambush circle set up by the Second Battalion. The Second Battalion Commander did not shout loudly, but patted the shoulder of the soldier next to him.

The soldier beside him did not say anything, but quickly shook the phone in his hand, sending the current through the wires to the TNT explosives buried under the railroad tracks in front.

Rumble... creak... a huge explosion exploded on the railway. The shock wave changed the direction of the armored vehicle equipped by the Japanese for defending the railway. The iron wheels rubbed against the rails and produced a long spark. The Japanese soldiers in the cars behind also fell down due to the huge recoil. Some of the unlucky ones were thrown directly under the railway.

As for the armored vehicles that were blown back the same way? ? Maybe the body of the vehicle was fine, but the Japanese inside the vehicle had been killed by the huge shock wave.

Of course, no one cared about the situation of the Japanese in the armored vehicle at this time, because the explosion was the order, and the Type 92 heavy and Type 99 rifles of the Second Battalion fired directly at the Japanese, and countless grenades were thrown out by the soldiers who were ambushed nearby, exploding into sparks on the railway.

The second battalion commander of the new regiment was a ruthless and fierce man! He didn't care that he had just received a large amount of bullets. He still followed his previous fighting style. After firing three rounds of volleys, he immediately jumped out and said, "Comrades, follow me and fight with bayonets..."

After saying that, the second battalion commander rushed towards the ambushed Japanese troops with a broadsword in one hand and a box gun in the other. In front of and behind him, the soldiers of the second battalion also jumped out of the ambush point and ran towards the Japanese. It was still night, with only the moonlight and the small fire ignited by the explosion for lighting. But such lighting conditions could not stop the soldiers' pace at all.

"Kill..." Some soldiers were holding Type 38 rifles. Facing the Japanese soldiers who were also holding Type 38 rifles, they had an obvious height advantage and stabbed their bayonets into the Japanese soldiers' chests in advance.

Puff, puff, snap... the sound of bayonets piercing into human bodies, the sound of broadswords chopping bones, and even the sound of Eighth Route Army soldiers hugging and tearing each other apart, continued to be heard along the railway. After a few minutes, the sound became smaller and smaller until only the cheers of the Eighth Route Army soldiers remained. At the same time, the Japanese puppet troops in the Shuicun stronghold to the west were also beaten to pieces by the ambush of the third battalion. In the end, only a dozen puppet troops who saw the opportunity quickly fled back to the Shuicun stronghold quietly.

By the time the news of the successful ambush battles on both sides reached Li Yunlong's ears, it was already early morning and the sky was turning pale.

"Captain, we have too few people, and there are still many things that cannot be moved! Captain, is it time to withdraw?" Zhang Dabiao and Niu Youtian found Li Yunlong at this time. While complaining that there were too many things, they also asked for instructions on what to do next.

"Damn it, so many good things, it's really sad to blow them up!" Li Yunlong looked at the empty train carriages, and felt a pang in his heart, as if someone took a knife and cut two taels of flesh from his heart. However, he couldn't do anything about it, he couldn't just wait here for the main force of the Japanese to come, right?

So, he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet: "Where's Xiao Cui? Are you fucking ready?"

"Captain, we're ready! I, along with my comrades from the engineering platoon, have set up 60 bomb sites in the southern valley and camouflaged them! In addition, there are about 500 kilograms of TNT explosives on the train, and about rounds of ammunition, and..."

"Okay, okay, don't say any more. I can't bear to part with it anymore! Let me ask you, have you connected the explosives on the train to the wires?" Li Yunlong asked quickly.

"Captain, we've connected the train directly to the mountain in the south, ready to detonate at any time! Gasoline is prepared in the bullet car and the rice car, ready to be poured on at any time! With this explosion, there will be basically nothing left on this train!" Cui Ming said.

"Then..." Li Yunlong took another look at the train, and each of them carried another bag of rice for me, and then we retreated!

"Captain, the comrades are already full. If we add more things, we won't be able to run fast!" Zhang Dabiao reminded.

"You are the only one who talks too much! Let the Second and Third Battalions carry the load. The Fourth Battalion just came back and can carry it again... Also, if you don't spread some rice along the way, how can the Japanese keep up with us?"

"Well... okay! Comrades, get started, carry the rice!" The second battalion commander's body was still stained with the blood of the Japanese devils, but without saying a word he picked up a 50-jin bag of rice and walked towards the southern hilltop.

"Captain, you are... a little greedy!" Zhang Dabiao reserved his opinion, but did not stop the soldiers from working.
