On the Zhengtai Railway.

The little Japanese and the puppet soldiers had just finished carrying the bodies.

Engineers are repairing the track that was pulled down.

A scout spotted the Eighth Route Army returning from a distance.

The little Japanese and puppet soldiers on the railway tracks were so frightened that they ran wildly into nearby strongholds.

By the time the two regiments of the Eighth Route Army arrived, the railway track was almost repaired, and not a single Japanese or puppet soldier could be seen on the railway.

However, Ding Wei chose a small stronghold, ordered the artillerymen to set up the cannons, and bombarded the bunkers and gun towers of the stronghold without saying a word.

Under the indiscriminate bombardment of more than ten artillery pieces, the Japanese and puppet troops in the stronghold were so bombed that they cried for fathers and mothers and frantically asked for help from Yangquan and Niangzi Guan.

After receiving the news, Sano Tadayoshi, commander of the Japanese Fourth Brigade, was immediately furious.

The Eighth Route Army has just been driven away, and they are fighting back again. They are like flies, buzzing in your ears and making you sick, but you can't fight them.

The key headquarters still doesn't allow mobile units to pursue them, which is very annoying.

But we cannot let it go, otherwise the strongholds on Zhengtai Road will be removed one by one by the Eighth Route Army.

It's not a big deal if the stronghold is destroyed, but it's a big trouble if the railway track is destroyed and delays the transportation of military supplies.

At his wits' end, Sano Tadayoshi immediately reported the incident to the headquarters, and at the same time ordered the Higashimura Brigade and the Ito Brigade to move toward the site of the incident for reinforcements.

After receiving the news, Yoshio Iwamatsu also felt a little troubled. He was ready to show off his talents, but finally felt that Yoshio Shinozuka was helpless in the face of the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla warfare.

However, he still issued the same order to the Fourth Brigade, prohibiting mobile troops from pursuing them further.

After receiving the order, Takeo Higashimura and Taro Ito felt worse than eating flies. They had just run back and forth when the Eighth Route Army came back again.

This is the main force of the Eighth Route Army, not a guerrilla force. If left unchecked, many strongholds will suffer.

It was uncomfortable, but the order still had to be carried out. Before my buttocks were even hot, I immediately gathered my troops and set off, heading towards the scene of the incident.

…

The Langya Squadron, which was stationed at Jingxing Railway Station, waited for a day and finally waited for the Japanese military column.

During this period, two passenger trains passed by. At around 5 p.m., a Japanese military train escorted by armored trains at the front and rear, with machine guns mounted on the roof, entered Jingxing County.

Not long after stopping in Jingxing County, we started heading towards Niangziguan.

Duan Peng had eagle eyes, and through the telescope, he saw the inconspicuous triangular icon in the lower right corner of a compartment door of the military train.

Duan Peng looked slightly happy: "Send a report to the brigade headquarters that the goods have departed from Jingxing County Station."

"Yes!" The accompanying telegraph operator quickly sent a telegram.

At the same time, the independent brigade telegraph operator more than 20 kilometers away immediately received the telegram.

Two minutes later, the telegram that the Japanese military column was leaving Jingxing County was handed to Li Yunlong.

"Can you divide the entire base area horizontally and vertically, and be as detailed as possible." Wei Dayong asked with a look on his face.

"Okay, it's not too difficult for me." Yang Liqing said, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Wei Dayong said.

"The maximum range of mortars is about 2 kilometers, but mountain artillery and field artillery can reach 8 kilometers."

"If we can make such a map, the scouts can carry radios to the target."

"According to the scout's viewing direction and viewing distance, and by comparing the map with the actual location, precise artillery strikes can be carried out on targets seven or eight kilometers away."

Although the maximum range of the mountain cannon can reach 8 kilometers, this is far beyond the range of vision visible to the naked eye.

Therefore, the quality of the Japanese artillery was extremely high, but their mountain artillery could only hit targets that were visible to the eye.

During the Pacific War in World War II, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses from the US military. The Japanese army was often bombarded by US artillery shells flying from nowhere.

Seeing Yang Liqing deep in thought, Wei Dayong asked: "Did I not make it clear?"

"No, no, you made it very clear." Yang Liqing smiled, "I suddenly discovered that your brain is different from others."

"What's the difference?"

"How should I put it? You have a kind of creative thinking in your mind. Even I didn't think of this method." Yang Liqing smiled.

Wei Dayong: "Just tell me if you can draw it?"

"No problem." Yang Liqing said, "Leave it to me. When this battle is over, I will start working on this matter."

Producing such a map will definitely make the Japanese suffer great losses!

Suddenly, Wei Dayong's expression changed: "We can wait until the battle is over. The Japanese army is coming."

Yang Liqing's expression changed, and he quickly picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the railway tracks.

Less than two minutes later, a green armored train was indeed the first to come into view through the telescope, followed by a Japanese military train with a smoking locomotive.

Since the armored train was light and this section was uphill, the armored train soon left the military train behind. The military train was carrying a heavy load and was moving with a squeaking sound.

Not long after, the armored train passed through Longwang Tu Mountain and reached the place where explosives were buried.

Wang Gensheng pressed the detonator down first, then twisted it to the left, detonating the pre-buried explosives.

boom--

With an earth-shaking loud noise, the three-car armored train was instantly lifted up in the flames. The Japanese inside were instantly blown to death and shocked to death.

The high explosive TNT was used in this ambush. It was used in large amounts and was very powerful. The armored train was instantly shattered. The Japanese inside only felt the pain for a moment before returning to Japan.

Even a section of the railway track under the armored train was blown off.

The train driver on the military train suddenly pulled the brakes immediately, and with a harsh friction sound, the iron wheels and rails of the military train collided directly, creating a large number of sparks.

The Japanese in the carriage on the train rolled forward under the huge inertia and made a mess.

"idiot!"

"What happened?"

In the command carriage, Major Masao Watanabe, who was responsible for escorting the military column, shouted angrily.

When the military train stopped, the Japanese on the roof got off the connecting car, walked into the carriage, and reported to Lieutenant Commander Watanabe: "Commander, there are a large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers around, and the railway track in front has been blown up by Eighth Route Army!"

"Nani?" Watanabe Masao was shocked and frightened, "Hurry up and ask for help from the headquarters!"

"Hi!" The accompanying telegraph operator hurriedly turned on the radio and sent a telegram to the Japanese First Army Headquarters asking for help.

The Japanese who had fallen onto the train opened the carriage doors with a bang and jumped off the train one after another. A dense rain of bullets rained down on them in an instant.

The dozen or so Japanese who were the first to get off the bus were beaten to a bloody pulp in a matter of seconds.

The Japanese machine gunners who reacted on the roof of the vehicle began to suppress the special forces group with fire. The Japanese armored vehicles following the military column also sprayed out several tongues of flame.

The gunfire rang out like exploding beans, and the turret on the Japanese armored vehicle slowly rotated.

At the same time, the 105-caliber howitzer on Longwang Tushan was also calibrating and shooting at Zhuyuan, its muzzle slowly pointing at the armored train.

Special Forces Regiment Provisional Headquarters.

Political Commissar Yang Liqing held a telescope and said excitedly: "Look, Commander, the battle has begun!"

When Yang Liqing received no response, he turned his head and looked to his side, then to Sheng, but he didn't even see Wei Dayong's figure.

After searching around again, I finally saw Wei Dayong's figure more than 30 meters ahead, holding his Mauser sniper rifle and touching it.

Behind him was Jiang Maocai, a guard who was fearless.

Yang Liqing was speechless: "Damn, did you agree to stick to the command position?"

While talking, Wei Dayong was seen pulling the bolt of the gun, pushing the bullet into the chamber, placing the butt of the gun on his shoulder, and then quickly pulling the trigger.

Yang Liqing took the binoculars and looked towards the direction where Wei Dayong's gun was pointing. The Japanese machine gunner on the roof of the train suddenly had a bloody hole in his forehead and fell to the sandbag.
