Chapter 441 Along the Railway 11
Before the team set off, Liang Xixian repeatedly reminded the big guys to stay on the scene for the time being after burying the thunder, mainly to see how the Eighth Route Army members transported so much materials away.
Now hearing Yuan Dahuzi ask them to choose to leave or stay, the big man Zhao Shoushan said, "Let's wait a moment. What we have buried this new invented delayed fire mines. This delayed mine is the first time we have used it in actual combat. We need to see if it can be successful and what its effect is."
Yuan Dahuzi said: "You can stay, but the enemy rescue team may come to reinforce us at that time. Our people should try their best to block the enemy. At that time, you can only protect yourself."
The big man smiled and said, "Battleman Yuan, don't worry, we all carry guns, and most of them are veterans who have fought with the Japanese. It's no problem to protect themselves now."
Yuan Dahuzi said: "Since you are so confident, then stay here to see the fun."
The big man asked a little worriedly: "We dug pits and mines on the railway just now, and we didn't see or hear your people acting. Do you have the wealthy troops to block the enemy?"
Yuan Dahuzi smiled and said, "Our people have long been ambushed at the door of their stronghold. I promise to suppress them from leaving the stronghold."
The big man then asked, "If the explosion succeeds, the supplies for this whole train will not be small, and the staff required will not be small. Are you enough staff for transporting supplies?"
Yuan Dahuzi laughed and said, "You don't have to worry about this. The people we are responsible for transportation have arrived, and there are definitely enough people."
The big man looked around, then turned his ear and listened. He saw that the surroundings were silent, so he wondered, "Why do I think there is no one else in this area except us? Where are your people hiding?"
Yuan Dahuzi smiled mysteriously and said, "The train is coming soon anyway. After the train is blown up, you will see our people."
While speaking, everyone had already walked to a safe distance. The big man took out his pocket watch and took a flashlight to shoot. He saw fifteen minutes left before the arrival of the train. So everyone sat on the ground in the field, and they quietly waited for the exciting moment when the mine exploded when the train arrived.
The Pinghan Railway is now managed by the Japanese. If there are no special circumstances, the trains running on this route are still quite punctual. At the scheduled time, the train transporting food and clothing finally rumbled over.
The most nervous thing at this time was Li Shicang of the Railway Destruction Team, because it could witness whether their own invention could work within a few minutes.
The headlights of the car were very bright. According to the position where the headlights moved, Li Shicang and the others saw the train rumbling past the mineburning site. At this moment, Li Shicang clenched his fists. Because of his nervousness and expectation, his palms were covered with sweat.
There were still two flat cars loaded with stones in front of the front of the car. The flat cars passed by the mine site. When the front of the car arrived at the mine site, everyone suddenly saw a violent flash. After a while, a huge explosion came from the other side. The mine buried by the railway destruction team exploded.
The mine explosion proved that the detonator that delayed detonation was successfully transformed. The railway destruction team had a new weapon to kill the enemy in their hands. Li Shicang and others jumped up excitedly. They shouted: "Success, success."
Yuan Dahuzi, who was bearded by Li Shicang, also jumped up. He shouted: "All groups, hurry up and act immediately."
After saying that, Yuan Dahuzi took the lead and ran towards the explosion site. The guards and messengers around him rushed in other directions.
The big guys also followed Yuan Dahuzi to the explosion site because they wanted to see the explosion site as soon as possible. Li Shicang and the others were running in the dark. Only then did everyone hear the voices everywhere in the night, the rumbling sound of mules, horses and carts, and the collision of various tools. Li Shicang and the others knew that the transport personnel from the Eighth Route Army had arrived.
When Li Shicang and the others arrived at the explosion site, they saw a large pit exploded from the mine site where the mine was buried just now. Some railway tracks were twisted into twisted shapes. The locomotive behind the flatbed truck was blown out of the railway tracks. The carriage dragged by the front of the truck either had tracks or parked on the railway tracks. Part one of the Eighth Route Army arrived at the scene earlier than they did. The escorts on the train were either beaten to death or captured. The officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were lighting up the torches and clearing the battlefield.
The big men's subordinates were much more interested in the explosion site than in the supplies on the train. Some of them lit torches, some of them were holding flashlights, some of them took out calipers to measure and draw records, and some of them checked the front and carriages that were damaged to evaluate the detonation time of the mines, the amount of mines charged, etc.
The big guys were busy around the locomotive. In the night, people kept driving mules and horses with torches. They came to the carriages that transported supplies in groups. Torches gathered together, and the train shrouds were illuminated like daytime. These groups of people did not seem to come from the same direction, but each team had people leading the way. They were sure that some people opened the doors of the carriages and entered inside, and then began to unload the supplies in the carriages.
The supplies brought out of the car are constantly carried by people waiting outside, or loaded with mules, horses and carts, and all of this is as natural and smooth as the assembly line. Yuan Dahuzi is now the commander on the scene, and he constantly gives orders to all parties. The transportation site is busy, but it is not complicated, and it is not complicated. From the clothes and dresses of those who unload and transport people, it can be seen that these people are all farmers, but they are all well organized.
Just as everyone was busy shipping supplies, there were continuous explosions in the direction of the enemy's stronghold in the distance, and then there were gunshots like beans.
The big man asked Yuan Dahuzi: "Your people are fighting against the blocking? The Japanese's combat power should not be underestimated. Are you fighting against the blocking force enough?"
Yuan Dahuzi listened and laughed: "It's okay, the enemy is now being crushed in the stronghold and cannot get out."
The big man also listened and asked, "The gunshots are so dense, how many machine guns do you need? Battalion Commander Yuan, when did you have so many machine guns?"
Yuan Dahuzi smiled, and he whispered in the big man's ear: "We have machine guns, as much as we want, we soldiers set off firecrackers in the big iron bucket, pretending to be machine guns to scare them."
The big man laughed and said, "You guys have a lot of weird ideas. The sound of ping-pong really sounds like a machine gun."
There was a lot of fun and the place was busy. The information obtained in the early stage was very accurate. Half of the train was loaded with food and half of the clothes were loaded with beds. The explosion was also very successful, and the carriages behind were basically not damaged. Therefore, after the materials were unloaded, they piled up like mountains and were very spectacular.
Seeing so many supplies, the big man was a little worried: "Captain Yuan, can you move such a large amount of supplies in one night?"
Yuan Dahuzi said confidently: "Captain Zhao, don't worry, it's just a little bit of supplies, we can definitely eat it."
While speaking, the blasting team members had completed the investigation of the explosion site. Li Shicang and the others came to ask the big man for instructions to retreat. The big man shook hands with Yuan Dahuzi and said goodbye. He led all the team members back to the Ninth Detachment overnight.
The big guys and the others successfully used the delayed fire mine for the first time, which made Li Qinglin very happy. He immediately ordered Liu Changda to report to the war zone and rewarded the people involved in the operation on merit. Liang Xixian, who was engaged in political work, was not idle either. He was always paying attention to the movements of the Eighth Route Army and sent people out from time to time to find out how the Eighth Route Army digested the large number of piles of materials in such a short time.
A few days later, Liu Zhenghong came to visit Liang Xixian with some of the seized materials. Through Liu Zhenghong's brief introduction, Liang Xixian learned how the Eighth Route Army transported these materials away.
That night, the Eighth Route Army mobilized almost all its forces to the explosion site.
The Eighth Route Army adopted two methods of transportation for the materials on the train. Of course, the food is the most important, and it is heavy and prone to mold. The Eighth Route Army requires that it must be transported overnight, so all the trucks transported the food, and the migrant workers that night also used this batch of food as reward. Because most of the quilts are in winter, it doesn't matter if they are left for a few days, they quietly hid in a big cave not far away after the quilts that night. After the sensation of crazy searches on the second day of the Japanese and puppetition, they concentrated their efforts to organize a night assault transportation, and finally transported the quilts hidden on the mountain back.
After the lightning was cracked by Japanese experts, the railway sabotage team suspended its operation, and the northern section of the Pinghan Line had been relatively calm for some time. After this explosion of the Luocun Railway, the Japanese and puppet were shocked again. They immediately thought that this was the railway sabotage team's action again.
In order to find out what new methods the other party used, the next day, the Japanese side urgently sent experts to conduct a careful investigation on the scene.
Japanese experts judged from the bomb craters and explosion marks that the other party was still using yellow explosives this time. The loading amount and the assembly method of landmines were almost the same before, which proved that it was the method of the railway destruction team. Therefore, they concluded that it was an explosion carried out by the national army.
Experts also judged from the fact that the flat truck loaded stones in front of the train was intact, and the serious damage to the locomotive was that the railway destruction team should have implemented manual detonation this time. However, after carefully inspecting the explosion site several times, they did not find how the railway destruction team used manual detonation, which puzzled them...
