Anti-Japanese War: I have unlimited assistance

Chapter 160 Here it comes!

The military train carrying military equipment and raw materials has arrived at Yangquan Station.

Water and coal were being added at Yangquan Station, and the Japanese soldiers in charge of escorting were eating at the station.

The Japanese station chief called all the stations from Yangquan to Jingxing Station.

Except for the appearance of a small cavalry unit of the Eighth Route Army at Xiapanshi Station, everything was normal at other stations.

It was common for the Eighth Route Army guerrillas to attack the Zhengtai Railway, and the Japanese stationmaster did not take it seriously.

The reconnaissance aircraft had already conducted reconnaissance on the Zhengtai Railway in the morning, and two military trains passed by in the morning and both were fine.

In addition, with the Kuroshima Cavalry Regiment responsible for defending the eastern section of the Shotai Railway, there shouldn't be any problems.

After the military train was filled with water and coal and the Japanese finished their lunch, it started heading towards Niangzi Pass.

"Why hasn't the 3rd Cavalry Squadron returned yet?"

At Xiapanshi Station, Akira Yokota looked at the watch on his wrist from time to time.

The 3rd Cavalry Squadron has been chasing the Eighth Route Army Cavalry Squadron for almost two hours and has not returned yet.

Nothing will happen, right?

Feeling something was wrong, Yokota Akira called the communications cavalryman and two reconnaissance cavalrymen of the 3rd Cavalry Squadron to bring the 2rd Cavalry Squad back.

In addition, two hours have passed since the 3rd Cavalry Squadron set out on patrol.

Yokota Akira ordered the 1st Cavalry Squadron to set out on patrol towards Turbulence Station.

After dispatching the 1st Starting Squad and the Communications Reconnaissance Cavalry, Yokota Akira sighed.

I hope nothing happens, otherwise I might have to commit seppuku.

……

In Lubei Village, Li Yunlong still led the soldiers to crawl and hide.

The deployment of the New 1st Regiment in Lubei Village was similar to that arranged by Li Yunlong before.

4 infantry companies, 3 general-purpose machine gun companies, and 1 machine gun platoon, including 38 20mm machine guns, 36 general-purpose machine guns, hundreds of submachine guns and light and heavy machine guns, hundreds of rifles, and more than 20 bazookas.

It can be said to have powerful firepower.

Not only do we have to rob the Japanese army trains and annihilate all the Japanese, but we also have to destroy the Japanese planes that come for air support.

Sun Desheng has sent someone to report that the Japanese cavalry squad was completely wiped out, the cavalry platoon suffered 5 casualties, and more than 40 Japanese military horses were seized.

Hey! This kid Sun Desheng is really good!
Wei Qiang kidnapped someone and brought him back with him.

Zhao Gang suddenly said, "Commander, the Japanese cavalry are patrolling again."

Li Yunlong raised his telescope and looked over, and sure enough, he saw another group of Japanese cavalry coming from the direction of Xiapanshi Station.

Three of the Japanese cavalrymen chased in the direction where Sun Desheng led the Japanese cavalry squad away.

The three Japanese cavalrymen were just delivering food to Sun Desheng.

"There are no military dogs, don't worry." Li Yunlong looked around and didn't see any Japanese military dogs, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Yunlong and his soldiers were lying in ambush on the reverse slope of the slope, covered with dry grass. Unless the Japanese cavalry came to scout, they would definitely not be able to discover the ambush.

Li Yunlong was afraid that the Japanese military dogs would smell the soldiers' scent, as dogs have very sensitive noses.

There are countless ambush terrains like Lubei Village on the Zhengtai Railway.

The Japanese cavalry went to scout each terrain one by one, and it would take them forever.

After the Japanese cavalry squad leader checked the bodies of the killed and the military dogs, he ordered several cavalrymen to transport the bodies back to the station.

The cavalry squad then continued patrolling along the railway.

Just when Li Yunlong was worried that the Japanese army column would not dare to come today, Zhang Dabiao beside him suddenly spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth and said, "Commander, they are coming!"

Li Yunlong's expression lit up with joy, and he quickly raised his telescope and looked towards the lookout post on the top of the mountain.

Sure enough, the lookout of the reconnaissance squad gave a signal and felled a dead tree that had been prepared in advance.

"Here it comes!" Li Yunlong took a deep breath and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"coming!"

Zhao Gang clenched the gun in his hand. This was his first actual combat and he had to kill at least one Japanese soldier.

After a while, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang and all the other soldiers of the New 1st Regiment heard the sound of train wheels hitting the rails.

"finally come!"

In a hidden location about 100 meters away from the railway tracks, Xiong Shanglin held the handle of the detonator in his right hand, his eyes fixed on the direction of the railway.

Amid the hissing sound of steam and the clanging sound of engines, a locomotive emitting thick smoke came pulling a long train of carriages.

Military trains passed by every day. The Japanese trains were covered with iron sheets, and it was difficult to tell what was inside the freight cars with the naked eye.

In order to prevent intelligence leaks, the Japanese army train schedule was not fixed.

But the intelligence information provided by Boss Lin was very detailed.

Some of the larger and wider military equipment from the Taiyuan Arsenal could not fit into the carriages.

The Japanese dismantled the carriage, placed military equipment on it, and covered it with a layer of waterproof tarpaulin.

This way, it is easy to distinguish.

This Japanese military train had several carriages removed and covered with waterproof tarpaulins. It was undoubtedly a Japanese military train used to transport military equipment and raw materials.

In addition, there was an armored vehicle escorting the locomotive a few hundred meters in front of the locomotive. Ordinary Japanese military trains did not have this treatment.

The Japanese cavalry squad stopped in the ambush circle, ready to wait for the Japanese army column to pass before continuing patrolling.

In addition to the armored vehicles, there were also machine gun positions on the roofs of the vehicles built with sandbags, which looked very dangerous.

Bang Chi Bang Chi...

The sound of the Japanese army's train's iron wheels hitting the tracks continued, and the locomotive pulled the carriages forward.

"Humph…"

With an inaudible cold snort, Xiong Shanglin raised the corner of his mouth slightly. His eyes followed the movement of the Japanese armored vehicle, but his right hand turned the handle in a circle.

As long as he waited for the Japanese armored vehicle to drive to the location where the explosives were buried, he would press the handle down to detonate the explosives instantly.

While waiting, Xiong Shanglin glanced at the Japanese army column behind the armored vehicle.

The distance between the Japanese army column and the armored vehicles was long enough. This section of the road was uphill and the speed was not fast.

After blowing up the Japanese military train, there is no need to worry about the train being unable to brake and derailing, thereby damaging military equipment and raw materials.

Not long after, the Japanese armored vehicle drove over the pre-buried explosives, and Xiong Shanglin suddenly pressed the handle in his hand.

"boom!"

A violent explosion occurred under the armored vehicle, and the shock wave instantly overturned the armored vehicle.

Amidst the flames and smoke, stones and sleepers from the rails fell down one after another, and a section of the rails was instantly blown off.

The sudden explosion scared all the Japanese.

When the driver of the Japanese army train saw the explosion in front of him, he was instantly shocked and quickly slammed on the brakes and opened the pressure relief valve.

Hiss, hiss, hiss—the steam from the front of the car suddenly dissipated.

Inertia pushed the train forward, the friction between the wheels and the rails made an extremely harsh sound, and sparks and lightning flew all the way.

In the end, the train stopped a few meters away from where the armored vehicle was blown up and almost derailed.

The Japanese soldiers in the armored vehicles that were bombed had already died, without a sound.

"idiot!"

After the train stopped, the Japanese squadron leader jumped off the train immediately, holding a Type 14 Nambu pistol, his face full of vigilance:
"Stay alert and shoot immediately if you find any suspicious targets!"

The Japanese soldiers, holding their guns, jumped off the military train with alert eyes but nimble movements.
