Chapter 439, along the railway line 9

As he said that, Li Qinglin turned to Liu Changda and said, "Chief Liu, you are responsible for this. The reward is stronger, so we cannot be too stingy. This bomb kills and injures the enemy. What's more important is the psychological blow to the enemy. We must make them feel unsafe everywhere and may be bombed at all times."

Liang Xixian smiled and said with a slight smile: "Commander Li is right. As long as we do such an action a few more times, the enemy will definitely be filled with archery and snake shadows. Those dangerous days are enough for them to live like a year."

Just as Liu Changda was counting the number of people and considering how to reward the blasting team members, another news came from Zhanglou Village in the evening that the two grenades left by Wu Hancheng were finally detonated in the afternoon. This grenade not only killed ordinary Japanese soldiers, but also one of them was the Japanese lieutenant, who was the Japanese engineer squad leader Ueta.

The serial explosions in Zhanglou Village immediately alarmed Wan'an's Sasaki. He immediately realized that this was a new tactic of the Ninth Detachment, so he hurriedly transferred Ueda, the leader of the engineer squad, who was good at blasting, and asked him to go to Zhanglou Village to conduct an investigation immediately.

Ueda has served in China for two years. After graduating from the military academy, he has been dealing with explosives and bombs in the engineering troops. This time Sasaki asked him to check the scene, hoping that he would use his professional skills to find out how the national army used bombs.

If Ueda really has two brushes, the scene was in a mess after the series of explosions at the Zhanglou Village stronghold. After observing the scene, he observed the wounds of the casualties and concluded that this was the result of the national grenade explosion. Ueda carefully inspected the scene and found a remaining pull rope from a door knocker. Ueda then concluded that the grenade was tied to the door and detonated by the people in the house opening the door.

Everyone came from the battlefield. After Ueda explained a little at the scene, everyone knew how the other party was protecting bombs. The Japanese squad leader of Zhanglou Village ordered on the spot that before opening the door, he must first observe whether there is a rope connected between the two doors through the crack. If there is any abnormality, the soldiers can enter and exit through the window instead of going through the main door.

Just as the team leader arranged how to prevent bombs from the blasting team, a soldier from the patrol team came in outside to report that he had discovered the path of the Kuomintang army crossing the trench and entering and leaving Zhanglou Village.

The Japanese team leader and Ueda were very interested in how the national army entered, because they understood the path of the other party entering the field, which was to find their own weaknesses in defense, so that they could strengthen defense in these places in the future to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

Ueda, who has been dealing with bombs, landmines and other explosives for a long time, is very cautious. In order to ensure his safety, when he checks the scene, he always lets others walk in front of the team. He lands at the end of the team. This time he went to the barbed wire to check, and he also lands at the end of the team. The captain of the stronghold was walking in front of the team, and behind him were several Japanese and puppet troops. Ueda held a cigarette in his hand and slowly wandered at the end of the team.

The hole on the barbed wire was not repaired because there were a lot of casualties and fears that anti-Japanese elements would remain nearby. The stronghold was busy rescuing the wounded, and some people were sent out to search for clues, so the hole was discovered at noon.

Out of the hole, some weeds were overwhelmed. These overwhelmed weeds formed a passage. These traces showed the path of the blasting members of the Ninth Detachment last night through the barbed wire.

The Japanese squad leader's residence was in the sight of the bunker sentry, and there was a light hanging at the door, so no bomb was placed in the explosion. The squad leader who escaped the disaster was now full of resentment. Because his stronghold was hit hard, the squad leader was alarmed. The squad leader had already criticized him sternly by phone. From the squad leader's tone, he felt that it would be difficult for him to escape internal punishment this time.

The team leader, full of fear and grievance, walked in front of the team. When he arrived at the passage, he saw a wild vine blocking the middle of the road at the entrance of the passage. He was so angry that he couldn't come out, so he kicked the wild vine aside and then strode forward.

The grenade usually delayed four or five seconds to explode after being pulled. When Ueda came over, it happened to be the explosion time of the two grenades. There was only a loud "boom" sound. Ueda was killed on the spot, and the few people walking in front were either dead or injured. The lucky team leader was still very lucky. The soldiers behind him blocked the fragments of the grenade, and the team leader was only slightly injured.

After the loud noise of the grenade, the captain turned around and looked at the comrades who had fallen to the ground. All he heard was a moan of pain. He stood there for a long time and could not recover from his senses.

After other Japanese soldiers in the stronghold came to rescue their comrades and reported what happened here in the afternoon to their superiors, the Japanese captain was so angry that he immediately ordered the team leader to be removed from his post and immediately took the custody. Although the dejected team leader was removed from his post, he was secretly glad that he had saved his life in this series of big explosions.

Because the explosion was during the day, the puppet soldiers saw the whole process clearly. The military reconnaissance team of the Ninth Detachment soon learned about the situation and reported it to Li Qinglin.

When Li Qinglin learned that the Japanese engineer lieutenant had killed the bombing, he was overjoyed and said, "This achievement is not small, it should be recorded on Wu Hancheng's head. We will reward you with great rewards."

Liu Changda was a little embarrassed: "Commander, Wu Hancheng and his team have been in our Ninth Detachment for less than three months. How should we award?"

Li Qinglin thought for a while and said, "We should improve our military rank one more level than others. In addition, let's pay more bonuses, after all, they do it with their heads on their backs."

Liu Changda nodded. When the others saw that Liu Changda nodded, naturally no one objected.

However, Han Jizhong's attention on the side was not completely attracted by the rewards, and he kept thinking about something silently. Seeing that he was thinking about it, Li Qinglin asked, "Staff Officer Han, what are you thinking?"

Han Jizhong woke up from his thoughts and said, "I am thinking about railway blasting. The second lieutenant of the Japanese engineer was very careful. He kept walking at the end of the team, but he was killed on the spot. This was because the grenade was delayed by a few seconds. Can we use this method on the railway to bury a mine that can delay explosion? If there are such mines, we don't need to use counter-thunder."

Liang Xixian was very concerned and said, "I heard that there is a time bomb abroad. It would be great if we had time mines."

Li Qinglin said: "Your idea is very good. You must immediately notify the blasting team and the railway destruction team to see if they can create landmines that delay explosion. If we can really study this kind of landmine, we can do a big fight on the railway again."

A message about the requirement to develop delayed landmines was sent out, and the war zone soon called back, saying that relevant units behind and railway destruction teams on various railway lines were working hard to find solutions, and new landmines would be developed soon.

"Can it be developed soon? Just brag. With the personnel behind us to develop, I don't think it will be possible to develop it in three or five years." Liang Xixian was very disdainful with the call from the war zone.

Liang Xixian's expectation was soon broken by a telegram sent by other railway destruction teams. Half a month later, good news came from a telegram from the railway destruction team. It turned out that a destruction team's blasters came up with a solution. They only used a simple method to solve the problem of delayed detonation of landmines.

The specific method is to saw the fire detonator from the middle and connect the fuse of an appropriate length in the middle. In this way, the fuse will be ignited after the flat car in front of the enemy's front passes, and the mine will not explode until the train reaches the preset position. This does not require the burial of complex and easy-to-discover lightning. The previous "t"-shaped detonator can still be used as usual.

The so-called trick is actually the clever little gap. As soon as the friendly army mentioned it in front of Li Shicang, he suddenly realized it, so he hurriedly summoned his own squad's soldiers and the members of the blasting team of the Ninth Detachment to start transforming the detonator.

Some of the members of the railway destruction team used to be railway employees, some were factory technicians, and some blasters trained by the Kuomintang themselves. Although the work of transforming fire detonators was very demanding, it was difficult for these veterans who dealt with explosives all day long.

After careful transformation of the team members and the detonator of the fuse was ready, with new weapons, the members of the Destruction Team and the Blasting Team were eager to try and prepare to go to Pinghan Line in the near future.

Because it was the first time to use this modified detonator, whether this detonator was useful was useful? Li Shicang and the others did not have much idea. Liang Xixian came up with an idea and said: "We used to carry out explosions between Wangmiao and Weiji. During this period, the enemy's guardian power in this area has been greatly strengthened. Since we are testing new weapons this time, for safety reasons, it is better to go around the enemy's weak defense to do it once."

The big man agreed and said, "Let's blow up a different place, which can be considered a new battlefield. Director Liang, do you think it's better for us to start in that location this time?"

Liang Xixian smiled, pointed to a point on the map, and said, "We will do a fight in Luocun area this time."

Li Qinglin looked at the map and said, "Director Liang, Luo Village has basically exceeded our control range. This is closer to the advance camp of the Eighth Route Army."

Liang Xixian smiled and said, "It is precisely because this place is closer to the Hu family shack that we can also give this credit to the Eighth Route Army after the explosion is successful."

Liu Changda smiled and said, "Director Liang, you are such a plan. You are planning to attract the attention of the Japanese to the Eighth Route Army. Are the Japanese so stupid? Will they believe that the Eighth Route Army has the power to bomb the railway?"...
