*********************************************************************
The God of Luck favored Yang Tianfeng again. Speaking of this Japanese major general, it was the best gift he gave him by accident.
During the Battle of Wuhan, the 106th Japanese Division went deep into the two battlefields of Ruiwu Road and Nanxun Road, and was surrounded by the First Corps of the National Army in the narrow Wanjialing area.
When the officers and soldiers of the National Army learned that they had surrounded the 106th Division with nearly ten times the strength, their confidence increased greatly. The troops bravely rushed and fought repeatedly. Every hill and every village was covered with corpses from both sides, and blood stained every green grass.
The Kuomintang army even approached the headquarters of the 106th Division several times. The division commander Matsuura was ready to commit suicide with a sabervail. The division commander also picked up weapons and threw them into battle, but the National Army stopped the attack because it was unknown whether it was the division command.
After a few days of fierce battle, the 106th Division was wiped out half. Due to the heavy casualties, the Japanese army had to drop hundreds of subordinate officers to supplement the 106th Division. Moreover, the Japanese Command temporarily pieced together the Suzuki Detachment to rescue the siege, led by Major General Harumamaki Suzuki, who was captured alive.
On the way to the east, Suzuki Detachment was stubbornly blocked by the New 13th Division, New 15th Division, 60th Division and other troops of the National Army. The progress was not smooth. After paying a significant price, it finally met with the remnants of the 106th Division who used the night to escape the country to rush to Wuyong Highway. During this rescue operation, Shunmatsu Suzuki was injured by a shell and was admitted to the hospital, preparing to go to North China to take over the new position after he recovered from his injury.
Originally, according to his level, the level of security when he took office should be very high, and it is unlikely that he would take this ordinary wounded train. However, the arrangements in the dark are often unexpected. In order to encourage senior officers fighting in the south, the Japanese Empire's local base camp specially sent their families to China, but because the war has not yet stopped, they are temporarily staying in Tianjin.
When Suzuki Harumaki learned about this, he couldn't stay in the hospital anymore and strongly demanded to be discharged early and go to North China to take over. Of course, his main purpose was to go to Tianjin to reunite with his family first.
Because he was too anxious, the Japanese didn't have time to arrange a complete set of posts for him, so they hung a VIP carriage with steel plates on the wounded train. In this way, the unlucky Harumo Suzuki took the train excitedly and dreamed, but it made Yang Tianfeng famous for the advance team in the east of Henan.
Luck is composed of countless accidents. Shuzumatsu Suzuki was not injured and should still lead troops on the front line to fight. If the Japanese did not do condolences, he would not be urged to take the train to death. If it weren't for the train being bombed and he was knocked unconscious, Yang Tianfeng would have only been able to get a suicide corpse; if Yang Tianfeng didn't understand Japanese, Shuzumatsu Suzuki was likely killed by his loyal subordinates; if...
Various coincidences or destined factors were mixed together, which finally made Yang Tianfeng get a big advantage, and made Suzuki Harumi become the first active Japanese general to be captured by the Chinese army in a record time.
There were explosions and fierce guns and cannons coming from afar. The team responsible for blocking the Japanese armored vehicles destroyed the railway, preventing the armored vehicles from approaching. There were too few Japanese on the armored vehicles and did not dare to get out of the car to chase them. They only used gunfire and swept the machine guns.
The bodies of the wounded, soldiers, and spoils were all brought onto the train. The locomotive made hissing sounds, and they were always ready to set off.
Yang Tianfeng saw Gao Yunhuan and others running over to meet. As soon as the person got on the train, he directed the driver to start.
Gao Yunhuan climbed onto the locomotive, saw Yang Tianfeng's inquiring gaze, and blinked with a wicked smile and nodded.
Well, very good. Although it is a bit unauthorized to frame the problem, it is understandable to do so for your own safety. Yang Tianfeng smiled slightly, took out a cigarette, held one, and handed the cigarette to Gao Yunhuan and He Dameng.
He Dameng took one and gave it to the driver. The driver sucked a cigarette, and his tight face seemed to relax. He nodded and said, "Three Batterys, what a cigarette!"
Gao Yunhuan lit the cigarette, took a deep breath in comfort, spit out a cloud of smoke at Xiao Si, and said, "Hey, lend me that gun to play for two days."
"You can play with that kind of advanced play?" Xiao Si avoided the attack of "second-hand smoke", rolled his eyes, and said, "This is what the young master gave to the future--forget it, you don't understand if you say it."
Gao Yunhuan turned his inquiring eyes to Yang Tianfeng, who was thinking about things in vain and did not notice their conversation at all.
"Captain Yang, can you leave us some explosives?" He Dameng asked tentatively: "Our activity area is close to the railway, and we need this kind of thing very much."
Yang Tianfeng put away his thoughts, turned to look at He Dameng, and said slowly: "We have not brought much, but now there is not much left. There is a little in the Hanzhuang stronghold, and we will give it to you all."
"Thank you, Chief Yang." A hint of excitement rose on He Dameng's face.
After personally experiencing the attack on the train, He Dameng's thinking suddenly became clear. He relied on the mountains and rivers to eat water, and he had to eat these two lines!
Although the attack of the advancing team paid a considerable price, it gained a lot. Not to mention the weapons and equipment, He Dameng alone saw that there were two majors and one Central Master's shoulder cards and several advanced command knives in the seized materials.
"If there is no explosives, you can remove the railway tracks and dig the roadbed!" Yang Tianfeng said with a smile: "It is actually not difficult to make a train accident. As long as you have the right tools, you can remove the railway tracks and carry them away. Relying on the railway, you will not have to worry about food or use them. It depends on whether you are brave and whether the plan is thorough."
As long as he fights the Japanese, Yang Tianfeng doesn't have such a deep understanding of the Internet. If he gives advice, the Japanese will suffer greater losses, which is something he is very willing to see.
He Dameng nodded, looked at Yang Tianfeng gratefully, and said, "Sir Yang, if you can trust us, we will be responsible for burying the bodies of the fallen brothers, and they can be transported back in the future. As for the seriously injured, they can also be placed on the spot and taken care of by us. There are many abandoned mines on Xiaonan Mountain, so hiding is not a problem."
Yang Tianfeng pondered, He Dameng's proposal was very tempting, and he had to consider the current actual situation. Due to the desperate resistance of Suzuki's guards and the lack of experience in the advance team's attacks on the Japanese, the total number of casualties in this operation exceeded more than 40.
In addition to the seventeen soldiers killed, plus the dozen slightly injured, nearly ten seriously injured people also had nearly ten seriously injured people. If they were led to march, their speed would be greatly affected, and the severely injured people would have a great hope of survival under the bumps.
"Thank you for your kind help." Yang Tianfeng said sincerely: "This will reduce a lot of burden for our safe return, and will also be of great benefit to the recovery of seriously injured soldiers. What we can do is provide you with as much material and equipment as possible to express your sincere gratitude."
"Sir Yang, don't be so polite." He Dameng smiled silly, picked up the shovel and added coal a few times, and said, "To be honest, we are also friendly forces, and it is appropriate to provide help within our ability."
The train drove very fast, and soon drove into the coal mine company and joined the left-behind men. At this time, there were not only soldiers who advanced to the team, but also more than a dozen people from a small guerrilla team. Wang Fengming, the political commissar of the guerrilla team, was busy doing ideological work for the Imperial Army. Seven or eight puppet troops had expressed their intention to abandon the darkness and join the guerrilla team.
As soon as the train stopped, the soldiers who advanced to the team jumped out of the car, and together with the soldiers who were receiving here, they moved the wounded and sick and supplies downwards and loaded them onto the car. He Dameng ran over and said a few simple words to Wang Fengming. The two walked over together and expressed their intention to provide help to Yang Tianfeng again.
"Thank you very much." Yang Tianfeng pointed to the materials being transported and said generously: "You can take whatever you need, be able to arm it, and it is also a safe guarantee for our wounded."
He Dameng greeted him, and the guerrillas and the puppet troops rushed forward, picking up weapons and ammunition. The man with purple face reached out to pick up the crooked machine gun, but was blocked by Wang Fengming. Wang Fengming's meaning was also very simple. People said that you could just take it, that was a polite word. We can't be too thick-skinned and really let go of our hands.
"Why, such a big man can't hold a machine gun?" Yang Tianfeng saw Wang Fengming's actions and used the provocation method with a smile.
Humph, the purple-faced man picked up the machine gun with one hand and looked at Yang Tianfeng without showing any weakness.
"Oh, there's this, let's see if I can pick it up." Yang Tianfeng kicked the iron bullet box again.
The purple-faced man fucked his other hand and stood steadily, saying loudly: "Is there any?"
Haha, Yang Tianfeng shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked away, came to Guo Songlin, and whispered a few words.
After being nervous and busy, Yang Tianfeng shook hands with He Dameng and Wang Fengming one by one, rode a tall horse, and led the team to set off.
The east side showed a little white fish belly, the deserted star closed his tired and sleepy eyes, retreated and disappeared. In the struggle with the night, the day finally won.
The troublemakers left, He Dameng, Wang Fengming and others began to arrange the future affairs. After this battle, the Japanese devils must conduct a search operation in the Hanzhuang area and stay in the charcoal factory, which is extremely dangerous.
"We have met the conditions for armed struggle and have met the requirement that our superiors ask us to 'arm quickly'. The situation of being searched with bare hands should be avoided. This kind of adventure is unnecessary now. In case of an accident, it will not only be a sacrifice for a few people, but will also ruin our career in fighting on the railway." Wang Fengming saw that the team members were all armed with a gun and had a crooked hand. Before leaving, Yang Tianfeng left, he left some of the money collected from the coal mine company as a cost to treat the wounded. Therefore, he could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
Chapter completed!
