Jiangdong frowned and looked at the map by the light of the train.

"We can't go any further. I think the Japanese army's encirclement is probably near Jinan. It would be terrible if we accidentally bumped into it in the dark night."

"Have you parked your car?" Xie Chengrui asked.

Jiangdong nodded.

"Brigadier, what happened? Why don't you leave?"

After the train stopped, Wu Zhan, Zhang Shengqing and other officers all gathered around.

"There may be an ambush ahead, please stop first!" Xie Chengrui said to everyone.

"What? Ambush, how could it be possible?"

Everyone was still confused, so Xie Chengrui had no choice but to tell Jiang Dong's findings and speculations.

Before Jiang Dong could figure out what to do, a soldier hurried up from behind.

"Brigadier, there are lights behind, it seems a train is coming!"

The Japanese troops in Tai'an set off immediately behind the Independent Brigade. They wanted to hide behind and follow quietly, but unexpectedly the train in front suddenly stopped. They had no time to slow down and had to be exposed from the darkness.

"Huh!" Jiang Dong snorted coldly,

"It seems that I guessed right. The little devil is really planning a bad move."

Needless to say, everyone understood that the group of Japanese behind them was here to take the back road of the Independence Brigade.

"Get in the car." Jiangdong ordered:

"Find a fork in the road ahead and let the train go forward. I will try to hold off the Japs behind. Brothers, hurry up and get off the train before the Japs discover it."

"brigadier!"

"brigadier!"

…

Everyone was shocked. The Independent Brigade had been exposed, and Jiangdong's trip would be very dangerous.

But Jiang Dong didn't think so, "The little devils want to catch us all. They won't take action until we are surrounded. Don't talk nonsense and act as ordered."

.

Tai'an's one thousand little devils were led by the Major Jiang Dong had met before. Their mission was to close the encirclement and make the independent brigade unable to retreat.

"Oops!" The independent brigade suddenly stopped, making the major feel that something was wrong.

But not long after, the train in front started moving slowly again.

The major was confused, so he slowed down the train and followed the Independence Brigade from a distance.

"Your Majesty, Major, there is an armored vehicle parked on the railway ahead and it is flashing its lights at us!" a soldier reported.

"Nani?"

The major looked over and saw that there was indeed a car parked on the railway track.

"Slow down, approach everyone slowly and don't speak."

The train came to a slow stop, and its huge lights shrouded the small armored car.

The guard post saw a man crawling out of an armored vehicle, covering his eyes with one hand and waving with the other.

"Your Excellency Colonel!" He shouted instinctively, and then felt contempt in his heart.

Jiangdong jumped off the armored vehicle and walked toward the back aggressively.

"Baga, please turn off the dazzling lights!" He walked to the edge of the cab and cursed.

"Your Majesty Colonel!" Shaozuo stretched out his head, and a smiling face suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Dong.

"Eh?" Jiang Dong pretended to be confused,

"Aren't you the station master of that train station? Why are you here?"

The major complained in his heart, and after jumping out of the car, he thought of a reason.

"His Majesty Colonel, you don't know. The guerrillas often come to destroy the railway. To ensure safety, I will go out to check it every night."

"idiot!"

Jiang was furious and slapped the major several times.

"Why didn't you report the guerrillas earlier and let me go on such a dangerous road with confidence? Do you have any objections to me? Do you have objections to the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor?"

The major was completely confused. He suppressed the anger in his heart, bowed ninety degrees and said:

"I'm sorry, I didn't think carefully!"

Jiang Dong kicked him a few more times, "Okay, I'm just coming down for convenience!"

After saying that, he actually walked to the side of the road and peed as if there was no one around.

Anyway, I'm going to run away soon, and if I don't take advantage of it now, I won't take it for nothing.

"Well, it feels pretty good to hit someone like this." Jiang Dong quietly moved his palms.

The major stared at Jiang Dong's back with cold eyes. He had never been so wronged before, and the other party was a Chinese, which made him feel extremely humiliated.

However, he remembered the Lieutenant General's orders clearly, and his anger and resentment could only be swallowed into his stomach along with the blood in his mouth.

"You stop here first and wait until I'm far away before you set off. The lights of the train are really too dazzling!"

Jiang Dong found a random reason.

"Hey Yi!" Major didn't dare to disobey.

"Your Majesty, Major, this guy is really too arrogant!"

After the armored vehicle left, a man who looked like an adjutant said through gritted teeth.

"He can't be arrogant for much longer. Your Majesty the General has already packed his pockets. Someone will pay for today's insult for me."

The major bared his teeth and said fiercely,

"Get in the car and let's set off. This is the only road. I'll see where he can go."

.

"What's going on? Is everyone down?"

Xie Chengrui lowered his voice and said:

"A driver and a brother were left on the train, and everyone else got off!"

Jiang Dong hid in the darkness, "That's good, let the brothers hide, the little devils behind will come soon."

Several train drivers were captured while mining, and Xie Chengrui replaced Wan Changshou with one of them.

Of course, in order to ensure that the train could drive straight into the encirclement of the Japs, an independent brigade soldier remained in the cab.

"Bang bang bang..."

The train carrying a Japanese major and a thousand soldiers passed slowly by Jiangdong and the others.

More than 10,000 people from the Independence Brigade hid in the darkness. Only after the train had gone away did someone say:

"Damn, why are you guys so stupid? I almost fell into their trap."

"Stop talking nonsense and form the team immediately. We won't be able to leave until the little devil reacts!" Jiang Dong ordered.

"Alas!" Jiang Dong sighed after staring at the map for a while.

"Now that the Japs and soldiers are gathering on the south bank of the Yellow River, we have to cross the river first and then think of a way!"

Xie Chengrui and Wu Zhan knew Jiangdong's idea of ​​blowing up the railway bridge. The latter nodded and said:

"There is still a chance after crossing the Yellow River. The little devils are all on the south bank, so the defense in the north must be lax!"

"Well, let's go around Feicheng today, and then find a way to cross the river tomorrow night!"

"yes!"

.

.

On the second day, Zhang Xia and Iida Sadagu temporary headquarters.

More than ten hours of waiting were finally over, and news came from the scouts ahead that a train full of independent brigade soldiers was heading towards the encirclement without any precautions.

Iida Sadagu stood on a hill and looked into the distance with a telescope. Standing beside him was Kobayashi Asaburo.

The train slowly approached, but Iida Sadagu's smile disappeared.

"Didn't the Tai'an Railway Station report say there were two armored vehicles leading the way? Where are the armored vehicles?"

An ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"Is it behind the train?" Asaburo Kobayashi comforted himself.

Thousands of Imperial warriors were ambushing on both sides of the railway, all staring intently at the approaching train.
