Chapter 181 There is still a chance (Part 1)
Li Yunlong suddenly sat up and said, "Staff Officer Wang, is there any situation?"
Wang Yandao: "There was an emergency, and the Japanese temporarily added an armored train!"
"What? A temporary armored train was added?" Li Yunlong's brows frowned, "What's the situation now? Is there still a chance to do it?"
Wang Yan did not answer immediately and began to calculate nervously.
After a while, he stood up and said, "If all three armored trains patrol at a certain time interval, then we can still find the gap in time and there is still a chance."
"If?" Li Yunlong, "What do you mean is something else?"
"Yes." Wang Yan nodded, "There is another worst case!"
While saying that, Wang Yan spread the map out, and then pointed to the map and said: "The worst case is that the newly added armored train does not have a fixed patrol time! Then this armored train may arrive at Niangziguan Station with the freight train!"
"Damn!" Li Yunlong's face immediately collapsed and he said in a deep voice, "In other words, in addition to sending two patrol soldiers to patrol along the railway line, the little Japanese in Shanxi also sent a bodyguard to follow the freight train! If we want to attack the freight train, we must even fight the bodyguards together! That's what it means?"
"Yes!" Wang Yan nodded and said, "No surprise, that's it!"
Just as he was talking, the sound of footsteps sounded outside the cave, and then Zhao Gang hurried in.
"Old Li, Staff Officer Wang." Zhao Gang said hello and said, "The civil servants are all in place!"
After saying that, Zhao Gang found that Li Yunlong and Wang Yan were not right, so he asked, "Old Li, what's wrong?"
Wang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Political Commissar, there is an emergency. The Japanese army in Shanxi temporarily added an armored train, and this armored train is likely to operate with the freight train."
"What?" Zhao Gang said in surprise, "Then won't you lose this action?"
"Who said this operation was ruined?" Li Yunlong said, "Big, even the armored train is on!"
"No, I can't agree to this." Zhao Gang said flatly, "The armored train cannot be fired, nor can it be fired! With our few mortars, we can't do anything to the Japanese armored train!"
"Then you must not just forget it." Li Yunlong said coldly, "If the meat sent to his mouth is not bitten, is it still an independent group? Then is it me, Li Yunlong?"
Zhao Gang said: "The problem is that this piece of meat has thorns! It hurts teeth!"
Li Yunlong said: "I don't believe it anymore. Can I still break my front teeth?"
At this time, Wang Yan suddenly said: "Political Commissar, we may not have no chance!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang turned their heads and asked in unison: "Staff Officer Wang, do you have a solution?"
Wang Yan said: "There is one way, but it is more risky. The requirements for the 1st Blasting Team are particularly high! Any slight error will fail."
...
Pinglu Yongfu waited at Jingxing Railway Station until midnight.
At midnight, the freight train from Zhengding finally entered the station and parked at Platform 1.
The door of one of the cars opened, and Pinglu Yongfu, who had been impatient for a long time, immediately boarded the train.
After getting on the car, Yongfu Pinglu found that there were nearly a hundred Japanese soldiers sitting in the carriage. This was not a baggage unit, but an infantry sent by the North China Front Army.
This time, the infantry responsible for armed escort had a reinforced squadron.
In addition to the carriage where Yuuki Kairu is located, there is another carriage behind which is also hidden in it.
Hiding soldiers in the carriage of freight trains has become a routine operation of the Japanese army, which has forced the railway guerrillas from all parts of the Eighth Route Army.
Because the Eighth Route Army guerrillas often snatch trains and steal supplies.
Later, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas began to rob in an armed manner.
In order to deal with the robbery of the Eighth Route Army guerrillas, the Japanese army came up with the secret trick of hiding soldiers in the carriage.
It’s true that after using this secret trick, the number of freight trains being robbed was greatly reduced, and the material loss of railway transportation was also greatly reduced.
And this time, the First Army even arranged three armored trains.
So Pinglu Yongfu felt that it would be impossible for another accident.
Pinglu Yongfu even hoped that the Eighth Route Army would overestimate itself and come to fight this freight train.
In this way, you can give the Eighth Route Army a warning before the spring counter-sweeping, and you can also slightly restore some face to the 4th Brigade.
Not long after waiting, the No. 3 of the 11th Armored Train Regiment returned to Jingxing Station.
After taking a break, the freight train departed from Jingxing Railway Station with Train No. 3 and headed towards Yangquan.
After departure, the door was closed and the carriage immediately became dark. Only the small breathable window had dim street lights and lights penetrated in. After a while, as the train gradually drove away from Jingxing Railway Station, even the street lights disappeared.
The carriage was completely dark, so Ping Luyong simply leaned against the iron wall of the carriage and took a nap.
...
at the same time.
On Car No. 3 of the 11th Armored Train Regiment, there was another scene.
Pinglu Yongfu seemed very nervous, but the railway soldiers on the No. 3 car were not nervous at all. They only regarded this trip to Yangquan as an ordinary task.
The gang organization of armored trains is similar to that of cavalry and baggage troops. There is no brigade level at the bottom, but directly under the jurisdiction of several railway squadrons, one squadron is a train.
Each train has 6 to 9 cars, and No. 3 has 6 cars.
The first section is the material carriage, which is loaded with materials such as sleepers, rails and other materials for repairing railways.
The second section is the light armored carriage, which is equipped with 2 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 4 crooked light machine guns, and 4 grenade launchers.
The third section is a heavy armored carriage with 2 41 type 75mm caliber mountain cannons.
The fourth section is the command vehicle, the fifth section is the front of the power vehicle, and the sixth section is the coal-water truck.
In addition, on the roof of the coal-water truck, there are two heavy machine gun nests, equipped with two heavy machine guns.
Such a series of armored vehicles almost caught up with a Japanese infantry brigade! And it also has solid armor with a thickness of more than 10mm, which is enough to withstand almost all the firepower of the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, the railway soldiers on Car No. 3 were not worried at all.
Captain Shimazu, the squadron leader, was even in the mood to drink some wine.
The fourth section command car also has a dining car and has a kitchen.
Captain Shimazu asked the kitchen team to cook a few hot dishes and was drinking with several officers. The No. 2 carriage in front suddenly opened fire, and the sudden gunfire destroyed the atmosphere.
"Haga!" Captain Shimazu paused his glass and stood up.
After a while, a second-class private hurried into the command carriage.
