The night was as dark as water, and under the dim moonlight, four trains loaded with soldiers and ammunition were moving forward.

The Langya special operations team members dressed as Japanese cavalry have destroyed all the telephone lines along the Yangquan to Shouyang and Zhengtai Railway.

The train has departed from Yangquan and traveled for one and a half hours. In front of it is Shouyang Railway Station.

If the train wants to reach Taiyuan, it must pass through Shouyang Railway Station, and there are still Japanese and puppet army leaders at Shouyang Railway Station.

Fortunately, Shouyang Railway Station was not built in Shouyang County, but 3 kilometers south of the county.

Otherwise, a county town would have to be captured so that the train could pass through. But for now, there is no need to capture the county town, just capture the train station.

During the attack on Yangquan, the Japanese and puppet troops in Shouyang County also sent troops to help, but they were repelled by the county brigade led by Li Daben and a company of the new regiment.

There were still 3 kilometers away from Shouyang Railway Station. The driver of the car in front saw a bright light flickering in front of him, and the train immediately made a long whistle.

The train behind followed the long honk and began to slow down slowly. After sliding forward for several hundred meters, the train stopped.

When the train stopped, Wang Xikui and two teammates, dressed in Japanese military uniforms, jumped on the front of the train, surprising the driver and two soldiers in the cab.

"Don't be surprised, I am Wang Xikui!" Wang Xikui whispered, "Where are the captain and the others?"

"It turns out it's Xizi." The soldier replied: "The captain and the others are in the back compartment."

Wang Xikui and two soldiers opened the door and got into the rear compartment, and found Li Yunlong in the fourth compartment.

This carriage not only has electric lights, but also tables and chairs. It is the carriage where the Japanese who escort the train usually rest.

The brigade commander and Li Yunlong were discussing something at the table.

Wang Xikui walked over and gave a military salute: "Brigade commander, regiment commander, look for the political commissar!"

"Xizi, are you here?" Li Yunlong raised his head and said, "Hurry up and introduce the situation at Shouyang Railway Station."

"Yes!" Wang Xikui said, "According to our observations during the day, "there is probably only a small team of Japs at the train station, but there is a company of puppet troops with a strength of about 200 people. There are one blockhouses in the east and west directions of the train station, and there are two blockhouses under the blockhouses.

There are two blockhouses and the tracks inside the train station are blocked by wood."

Two days ago, a flying formation led by Wei Dayong blew up a train transporting wounded Japanese soldiers.

However, Japanese engineers along the line have already repaired the damaged railway tracks.

Brigadier Chen asked: "How many Japs are there in Shouyang County?"

"There are less than one squadron and one battalion of puppet troops." Wang Xikui said, "We have cut off the telephone line between the county seat and the train station. The Japanese will send people to repair it now."

After understanding the general situation, Brigadier Chen thought for a moment and then said: "Li Yunlong, I order you to capture the train station within two hours. Do you have the confidence?"

Li Yunlong straightened up: "I promise to complete the mission!"

Subsequently, Li Yunlong ordered: "Order the first battalion, second battalion and artillery battalion to get off the train immediately and assemble, while the remaining battalions are on standby on the train!"

"Yes!" The communications soldier straightened up and went to the back to deliver the order.

As the order was issued, the train carriage door clanged several times, and the soldiers of the first and second battalions jumped off the train one after another with guns in hand to assemble.

Brigadier Chen, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also jumped off the train.

Li Yunlong said: "Let Zhang Dabiao, Yao Shangwu and Shen Quan come here."

In less than two minutes, three battalion commanders and guards came to Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong said to the three battalion commanders: "The Shouyang Railway Station is 2 kilometers ahead. The Japs and puppet troops have blocked the railway track. If we want to take the train to Taiyuan, we must capture this railway station. Now I order the artillery battalion to

The first battalion and the first battalion launched an attack on the train station, and the second battalion blocked the reinforcements from Shouyang County and captured the train station within two hours. Are you confident?"

The three battalion commanders shouted in unison: "Make sure to complete the mission!"

Li Yunlong looked grim and ordered: "Start taking action!"

After receiving the order, the three battalion commanders turned and walked towards their respective assembled troops.

Li Yunlong turned to Wang Xikui and said: "Xizi, take people around Shouyang Railway Station and continue to destroy the telephone lines along the Zhengtai Line!"

"Yes, captain!" Wang Xikui and the two team members saluted with a military salute, and then disappeared into the dark night in a few short steps.

The soldiers of the 1st and 2nd Battalions took advantage of the darkness and ran towards the train station ahead. The grenades on their waists collided and made a slight clanking sound.

The artillery battalion soldiers behind pushed two mountain cannons and carried several mortars and artillery shells to follow closely.

Within 1 kilometer of the train station, Zhang Dabiao asked the soldiers to lie down on the spot and use Zeiss telescopes to observe the movement of the train station ahead.

Chen Quan led the 2nd Battalion from another direction to find a place to block the Japanese and puppet reinforcements.

Although the telephone line between the station and the county seat has been cut off, the distance between the two is only 3 kilometers, and the county seat can definitely hear the exchange of fire here.

Perhaps the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the train station heard the previous train whistle. At this time, the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the train station were jumping around, as if they sensed the approaching danger.

Yao Shangwu crouched and came to Zhang Dabiao's side, using his telescope to observe where the turrets and bunkers were.

Zhang Dabiao's magnetic voice rang in Yao Shangwu's ears: "Commander Yao, let's cooperate with infantry and artillery this time. I will lead the first battalion to go up. Later, your artillery battalion will use mountain cannon to blast away the turrets and bunkers in front of us.

The battalion will launch another attack."

"no problem!"

Yao Shangwu said: "But the visibility is not very good at night, and the first few shots may not be accurate. In order to avoid casualties, your battalion must wait until we blow up the gun towers and bunkers before rushing forward."

"Okay!" Zhang Dabiao then led a battalion to touch it.

After the first battalion touched them, Yao Shangwu waved his hand, and the soldiers of the artillery battalion pushed up the two mountain cannons and mortars from behind and began to set up the cannons and measure the range.

The two searchlights on the train station's gun tower and watch tower were firing in all directions. In order to better calibrate the artillery battalion and shoot at Zhu Yuan, Zhang Dabiao did not let the sharpshooters knock out the searchlights.

After the first battalion approached 500 meters from the train station, Zhang Dabiao asked the soldiers to crawl forward and stop when they reached nearly 400 meters. If they went further, they would be easily spotted by searchlights.

Then the cannonball is stuffed into the barrel, and the gunner pulls the match rope and waits for the order to fire.

Li Yunlong and Brigadier Chen braved their bodies to come forward to watch the battle, and Ding Wei, Cheng Shifa and Chu Yunfei also followed suit.

After observing with a telescope for a while, Li Yunlong asked Yao Shangwu: "Yao Shangwu, how is the situation?"

"Report to the regimental commander." Yao Shangwu replied, "The first battalion has already touched down, and our artillery battalion is ready for the first test firing."

Li Yunlong looked solemn: "Then let's fuck him first!"

"Yes!" Yao Shangwu turned his head and shouted in a low voice, "Fire!"

The gunner pulled back the traction rope, and the cannon body vibrated suddenly, creating a wave of air, and the cannonball flew into the air.

Everyone quickly picked up their binoculars and looked in the direction of the Japanese artillery tower.

The fiery red cannonball drew an arc visible to the naked eye in the night sky, and then slammed towards the turret.

boom--

The shell landed six or seven meters away from the bunker and exploded, causing a ball of orange-red fire to explode.

Although they failed to take down the bunker, they did hit a fire point outside the bunker, and a light machine gun and two or three Japs were instantly thrown into the air.

Li Yunlong shouted: "Yao Shangwu, you damn missed, the bunker is on the right!"

Seeing the impact point of the bullet through the gun scope, Yao Shangwu had an idea.

He immediately re-measured the range and reported the parameters to the artillery. The gunner pushed the bullet into the chamber, and then shouted loudly: "Two mountain guns, one salvo, fire!"

The train station was shelled, like a hornet's nest. The Japanese in the gun towers and bunkers panicked, and several light and heavy machine guns roared suddenly.

Although no one could be seen outside, the sharp and clear sound of machine gunfire was emboldening.

Bullets whizzed past the heads of a battalion of soldiers. From time to time, soldiers were hit by machine gun bullets, but the injured soldiers lay in the grass without making a sound.

Two mountain artillery shells quickly passed through the night sky, and the bunker on the left side of the gun tower was hit one after another, and was completely destroyed amidst the sound of explosions and fire.

Yao Shangwu and the artillerymen then measured the distance and fired. The bunker and main battery building on the right side collapsed one after another like a torrent under the continuous bombardment.

"Brothers from the first battalion, charge me!"

Seeing this scene, Zhang Dabiao jumped up, threw his general hat to the ground, and rushed forward with his submachine gun in hand.

There is also something to be said for shouting a charge. Generally, shouting "charge me" means that the soldiers should first be led by their commander to follow behind.

The one who shouted "Come with me" was the leader who took the lead, and the soldiers followed behind. Obviously, the latter boosted the morale of the soldiers.

After all, the commander has taken the lead in the charge, so the soldiers are too embarrassed not to follow, right?

Immediately, there were shouts of killing all around, and the soldiers from the first battalion rushed toward the train station like a tide.

Although the bunkers and gun towers were knocked down by mountain cannons, the train station still has peripheral trenches and other defensive fortifications.

The light and heavy machine guns everywhere suddenly spurted out tongues of flame and screamed wildly, and the bullets they fired could be seen flying around in random directions.

However, the artillery battalion's mortars were not idle either. They kept pouring shells towards the Japanese and puppet positions, covering the first battalion's attack.

Because mountain artillery destroyed the turrets and bunkers east of the train station, and with the cover of mortars, the battalion rushed into the train station with only one charge.

The Japs on the sentry tower took advantage of the Eighth Route Army rushing in without paying attention, leaned out half of their body, aimed at the Eighth Route Army, and pulled the trigger.

After a gunshot, a soldier fell on the charging road with a groan.

Zhang Dabiao immediately turned the muzzle of his gun, with sharp eyes, and fired fiercely at the sentry tower.

After a burst of crackling gunfire, the Japanese sentry was beaten into a bloody sieve, screaming and falling from the sentry tower.

Zhang Dabiao came to the soldier and found that he was still alive, so he shouted loudly: "Leave it to the health worker, and the others will continue rushing with me!"

Seeing the large number of people on the Eighth Route Army, the Japanese and puppet troops in the railway station also felt the enemy's attack, so they retreated towards the west wing and bunker while fighting.

The remaining Japanese and puppet troops retreated to bunkers and gun towers, relying on their solid fortifications to resist tenaciously.

The first battalion charged twice in an attempt to explode, but was suppressed by the firepower of the fierce Type 92 heavy machine gun and crooked light machine gun.

The first company commander shouted: "Batalion Commander, I will lead the soldiers to charge again!"

"Stop charging!" Zhang Dabiao pressed the shoulder of the first company commander, "Signal soldier, go and notify Battalion Commander Yao and ask him to bring the mountain artillery over and take away the Japanese bunkers and gun towers!"
