Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

The Japanese may not know the strength of the Ninth District, or they may pretend not to know. Anyway, since this year, the Japanese in Taiyuan have intentionally or unintentionally avoided provoking the Ninth District and have been operating honestly on the railway line. Anyway, as long as the railway line can operate normally, the Japanese don't care who is in charge of the areas on both sides of the railway line.

As for the fact that trains would be stopped every once in a while, the devils had no choice but to accept it passively. Anyway, the main goal now was to open up the mainland transportation line. Under that goal, the losses here were bearable! Even in the battle to open up the transportation line, the devils felt powerless.

According to the original occupied areas, the troops in China have been compressed to the limit! Otherwise, the Kwantung Army would not be transferred to this battle, and troops from the country would not be transferred. However, as the Battle of Central Henan ended, Bingfeng continued to attack, the battle line became longer and longer, and the troops became more dispersed. After all, the occupied cities need to be guarded, and you can't just leave after the battle, right?

What's more, battles are bound to result in casualties! This was especially true in a city called Hengyang, where the Japanese were blocked by a man named Fang Xianjue and the 40th Army for more than days.

That's right, this period was the time of the Battle of Hengyang, which was a battle that went down in history. It was the only time that the National Army was stronger than the Japanese Army in terms of casualties. In this battle, the Tenth Army held Hengyang for 47 days, killing more than 1 Japanese soldiers and injuring more than 2 Japanese soldiers with more than 6 casualties. It can be called a miracle battle in the history of the National Army.

Of course, this was still a lonely battle, because their friendly forces maintained their good tradition and watched the battle without providing reinforcements.

But despite this, the Japanese lost more than 80,000 combat forces in one fell swoop, which was a serious loss, and the predicament of insufficient troops was even more obvious. If the mainland transportation line had not been opened at this time, and the rest of the national army was not as capable as Fang Xianjue, the Japanese would most likely give up this operation.

Back to the point, after it was determined that the Beishan Detachment Guard Regiment would be the main force in this battle and Xing Weiguo would be in charge of the overall command, the meeting moved on to discussing the specific details of the battle. After some discussion, the final battle plan was finalized, and all that was left was to mobilize the troops to get to work!
At the railway station in Taiyuan, the driver Lao Ma watched the workers loading the trucks and moving the goods one by one. He was anxious, wondering if the organization had arranged a team to attack the truck. That's right, Lao Ma was a comrade on our secret front and provided a lot of intelligence to the organization.

As an old driver who has been driving trains here since the 20th year of the Republic of China, Lao Ma's qualifications can be said to be very old! And he was lucky enough to survive the battle of Taiyuan Defense War and continue to drive trains here! But this luck also made Lao Ma see the cruelty and bloodiness of the devils.

He personally witnessed countless captured men being stuffed into sealed trains and transported to Datong to mine. Later, he heard that many of these compatriots were worked to death and thrown into mass graves.

He also saw with his own eyes some captured young women being brought by train and then dispersed into the Japanese army camp. Later he learned that the Japanese had a place called comfort station and learned about their experiences!

He had personally seen the Japanese soldiers escorting the train standing in the carriage and shooting at innocent civilians along the railway. Many people died tragically!

He personally witnessed the families of some of his fellow workers being wantonly harmed by the Japanese invaders, and they were all killed if they showed any resistance...

Having seen too much suffering and too much blood, Lao Ma never gave up hope!
He remembered that it was one winter in the second year after the Japanese invaders came, and the train he was driving stopped on the railway because the railway line was damaged.

Then, he saw the escorting Japanese soldiers being eliminated one by one, and the supplies on the train being moved away one by one, but those people did not attack him cruelly because he said he was Chinese.

"Chinese people should look like Chinese people, have Chinese integrity and Chinese blood! If you are a man, just follow us! Let's join hands and fight together. There will be a day when we can drive away the Japanese devils..." On that day, he received some ideological education and learned that many people were fighting hard to defeat the Japanese devils.

So, Lao Ma, who still had blood in his veins, secretly joined the Eighth Route Army and became an intelligence officer. Over the years, Lao Ma has sent countless intelligence to the organization. Whenever the devils had any valuables on board, he would find a way to send intelligence to the organization.

Then, this year, there were fewer and fewer Japanese soldiers at the train station, and many Chinese took their place. Then, Lao Ma realized that many of his fellow workers were intelligence officers trained by the organization, just like him. So, he became even more motivated...

"Okay, get ready to go. Honk the horn more often when turning along the way. And keep an eye on what's ahead when going straight, so as not to have an accident!" A voice came into Lao Ma's ears.

“Okay, I understand…” Lao Ma smiled at the person who was speaking. He knew that there would be an “accident” during this trip, but he didn’t know where it would happen.

A few hours later, Li Yuexuan, who was well protected, was standing nearby the Yanhui Station, hiding in a bunker with a sniper rifle at hand, but he was looking at the railway line with a telescope.

Woo...Kukuku...The train blew its whistle and slowly moved from west to east, gradually approaching the railway line that had been dug up.

Squeak, squeak, squeak... The old horse, who had been paying attention to the road conditions, saw the break in the railway line from afar and decisively pulled the brakes. The whole train rubbed forward on the rails, making a sharp sound.

Fortunately, the train was not going very fast, and the locomotive stopped when it was less than ten meters away from the broken gear. When the train stopped, Lao Ma and several workers working on the locomotive looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Damn it, it almost overturned...

"Oh no, lie down and hide..." Lao Ma had just breathed a sigh of relief when he realized something. He quickly pulled a few workers to hide in a secluded place to avoid exposing his figures.

At this time, the train compartment where the Japanese were being escorted was kicked open. Many Japanese jumped off the train one after another, patrolling back and forth with rifles in hand, and occasionally firing a shot.

"That's all? Are the Japanese so weak?" Li Yuexuan said as he held up a semi-automatic sniper rifle with both hands. He raised the rifle to his face and pulled the trigger. The gunshots started, firing 20 times in a row, emptying the magazine.

Just as Li Yuexuan opened fire, gunshots rang out from different angles around the train, and bullets flew...

As soon as the train stopped and the Japanese jumped out, it took only ten seconds for the place to become quiet again.

"That's it... It's not satisfying..." Li Yuexuan, who had killed 1 Japanese soldiers with 21 bullets in one chamber and one magazine, complained unsatisfiedly. (End of this chapter)
