Xiao Hanting looked up at the sky and said, "The weather is good today, but it is very suitable for mine burying. It is a little far from the railway line, so time may not be enough. According to the general operation procedures, we should also arrive at the site to reconnaise first to see the terrain and landform of the reserved mine burying place, see if it is suitable for mine burying and whether it will cause harm to the surrounding people; in addition to military trains, there are passenger trains on the railway line. What we are going to blow up is the military train that transports personnel and materials from the Japanese. We must also know the exact time when the enemy military train passes to get started."

"It's good that you've exploded at the local event a few times ago, so we made some preparations in advance as you did before. We have some of these information." The big man on the side said.

"Xing Wenyi, Takakura Hai is out of the line," the big man Zhao Shoushan shouted to his team.

As soon as the words were finished, the two soldiers in the team responded: "Ar" and then each took a big step out of the queue.

"You two give Captain Xiao what you prepared to see if these people are of use." The big man said to the two.

"Yes," the two of them replied in unison, then took out a bag of oil paper from their pockets and handed it to Xiao Hanting.

Xiao Hanting opened the oil paper bag and found a hand-drawn map and a small notebook. The map is a railway map of more than 100 kilometers between Wangmiao Village, Suchang, Zhanglou Village and Weiji Town. It clearly indicates the villages, paths, hills, ditches, dry ditches, etc., and even the population of each village. There are several dogs guarding the house and the hospital. The small notebook records the time of trains running on this railway in recent times, whether they are military trains or passenger buses, the speed of running, etc. This is the schedule for trains running on an enemy railway line.

After seeing it, Xiao Hanting nodded repeatedly and said, "It's so good, so it saves us time for field reconnaissance. But how can we get it today at such a long distance?"

Li Qinglin estimated in his heart and smiled, "You are about fifty people, plus our thirty people, I can gather ninety mules and horses for you in the afternoon, and let our military reconnaissance team and militia brothers lead the way, so that you can reach the pre-ordered location in the first half of the night."

Xiao Hanting hurriedly said, "Sir, you don't need so many mules and horses. We only need about one squad of troops to destroy the team members every time we attack."

Li Qinglin laughed and said, "If I only need to send so many troops, I don't need to transfer mules and horses from other squadrons. We also have a squad of troops here to accompany us. After lunch, we can set off."

During lunch, Li Qinglin set up a banquet, and of course, the team leader of the destruction team was invited by Xiao Hanting. During the meal, Li Qinglin toasted Xiao Hanting with a glass of wine and said, "Captain Xiao, according to common sense, you should arrange for you to rest just now, but now is an extraordinary period. Today, I have to work hard for you first. When this explosion is successful, I will serve you later."

Xiao Hanting quickly stood up and picked up the wine glass and said, "The chief is serious. It is our mission to destroy the railway and attack the Japanese invaders. As long as the chief needs it, we will never refuse." After that, he drank the wine in the glass.

Because there was a combat mission at night, everyone did not drink much wine at noon. After dinner, Li Qinglin ordered the direct squadron and the headquarters guard platoon to contribute twenty or thirty mules and horses. Xiao Hanting assigned a squad of the sabotage team to carry out tonight's mission, and ordered only success and failure.

When the team set off, Xiao Hanting suddenly found that Li Qinglin was also riding on his horse and was about to follow the team. He was shocked and said, "Sir, you want to go too? We all have to go deep into the enemy-occupied area. This task is very dangerous."

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "It's very dangerous if I go, but it's not dangerous if you go?"

He then pointed to the officers and soldiers who participated in the war tonight and said, "I am just the same as them. If they can come back safely, I will come back safely." After saying that, he raised his horse whip and rode his horse towards Weiji Town.

Xiao Hanting looked at Li Qinglin's far away back and said, "The person who is in charge of the helm is not panic, but the person who is sailing is steady. Meeting such a leader is a blessing for us."

There were about 30 people in this operation. In addition to a squad of the Railway Destruction Team and the Second Battalion, Li Qinglin, Ding Goudan, and Gan Yuanbin from the Military Reconnaissance Team were also added. Gan Yuanbin and others were very familiar with the local terrain and joined in to lead the way for this small team.

With mules and horses as their feet, and under the correct guidance of Gan Yuanbin and others, the small team left the jurisdiction and marched from the slits of the Japanese and puppet defense, and the marching was very fast. At around 9 o'clock in the evening, they arrived at the reserved location between the King Temple of Pinghan Railway and Suchang.

Today is the end of the lunar month. There is no moon in the sky, only the stars shine in the summer night sky. This is already a plain area, and the summer night wind blows by the empty fields, and people feel very cool.

Like ordinary nights, there are no lights in the distant rural areas. The farmers turned off the lights early to rest. There are occasionally a dog barking in the village. This is the duty of the farmer's watchdog faithfully performing its obligation.

The team stopped, and Gan Yuanbin took a scout team member away. His mission was to find a person who had already been stationed nearby.

After a while, I heard a violent barking from the village in the distance. After a while, Gan Yuanbin and his friends came back in the dark, following a farmer behind them. This is the "concealed stake" that the reconnaissance team had long been developing locally.

This time, the railway destruction team was led by a platoon leader named Li Shicang, and the specific on-site command was him. In the darkness, Li Shicang asked some questions in detail about the enemy's road guard team, the patrol time, the local railway situation, the train running time, etc. After some trade-offs, Li Shicang finally chose a place called Xiaogangzi to start.

Li Shicang then asked someone to lead the way, and the small team soon arrived at the reserved mineburning site - Xiaogangzi.

After the team arrived at the scene, Li Shicang divided the sabotage team into three groups, one of which was sent several miles to the railway to keep watch to prevent the Japanese road guards from suddenly patrolling; the other two groups took out their pickaxes and other tools and started to dig up the slag under the rails. They had to dig a pit to bury the explosives under the rails in the shortest time; and the other group was obviously full-time blasting hands. They began to assemble explosives at the scene, pressed detonators, connected detonators, etc., and prepared to bury the slags after the slags were scattered.

Those who keep watch naturally do not need light, and those who take the slap only need to light it occasionally. Assembling landmines in wooden boxes is technical, which needs to be completed safely in the light. In order to assemble the mines smoothly and not leak their whereabouts because of the light, the members of the destruction team surrounded the rainproof cloth into a small tent, and the blasters hid in the tent and used flashlights to assemble explosives nervously.

The temperature dropped at night, but it was still very uncomfortable to hide in a small tent that was airtight during the summer night. When these people finished their lives, they were soaked all over, just like they had just been fished out of the water.

Li Qinglin handed cigarettes one by one and said, "Brothers, thank you for your hard work, so smoke a cigarette first to relieve your fatigue."

The soldiers took the cigarettes one by one and thanked them one by one, but they did not lit them, but put them in their pockets.

When the cigarette was sent to Xing Wenyi and others who followed the sabotage team to learn blasting technology, they rejected Li Qinglin's cigarette, which surprised Li Qinglin. Some people smoked and some didn't smoke, but it was a shame for the superior to send cigarettes. Under normal circumstances, soldiers would accept it happily.

"Don't you smoke?" Li Qinglin asked.

Xing Wenyi replied a little embarrassedly: "Sir, brothers from the destruction team said just now that smoking at night will bring light, which will easily expose the target. Another thing is that we carry items that are very prone to explosion. For safety reasons, we should wait until the task is completed before we can use open flames."

Li Qinglin said: "Okay, okay. You have learned well and are very caring."

As he said that, he stuffed the remaining cigarettes in his hand to Xing Wenyi and said, "I want to learn from you. I won't smoke now. You can take this cigarette and smoke it on the way back."

It is a hard job to break the road, and it is even more difficult to destroy the team members in the dark. Fortunately, with some help from the Second Team, the progress tonight was happier than usual. After a while, a nervous sound of iron pickaxes in the darkness stopped, and the Daozhe finally got rid of it.

They still used rain cloth to cover it, or illuminate it with flashlights in a small tent surrounded by rain cloth. The explosioners of the railway destruction team installed detonators and explosives under the rails, and then covered the things with the stripped slag.

After everything was over, Li Shicang carefully checked the place where the explosives were buried, and finally straightened his waist and patted the dust on his hands, and said to Li Qinglin: "Sir, everything is ready. I promise that we will definitely retreat this time. We can retreat now."

Li Qinglin said: "What? Don't you want to stay and see what we will do tonight?"

Li Shicang pointed at both ends of the railway and said, "Sir, it's not that we don't want to stay and see the results, but the Japanese now have road protection teams along the railway, and they will come to patrol at any time. In addition, once the train is bombed here, they can get here within half an hour at the earliest. If they get entangled by them, it will be difficult to leave at that time."

Li Qinglin smiled and said, "They are making a clear head and we are making a secret. Can we think of a way to fight this road guard team?"

Li Shicang said, "Sir, we carry all submachine guns with us. This kind of gun is short in range and can be used for self-defense. I'm afraid it won't work to use it to attack the Japanese?"

Li Qinglin said: "You have good things on you, and we will use them to make the Japanese suffer tonight."...
