I am helping

Chapter 501 Back to the general, almost to Baoding!
three days later.

Just when Li Yunlong was in full swing preparing to bombard Taiyuan Airport.

Duan Peng has led two combat teams to arrive near Baoding.

According to intelligence, Miyano Michiichi will take a heavy armored train to Baoding tomorrow morning.

"The front is Baoding."

In a dense forest, Duan Peng looked at the map, then looked at the city wall 5 kilometers away with a telescope and said.

Wang Gensheng said: "Baoding is still an important military town, so there are so few bunkers and artillery towers outside the city?"

Wang Xikui also said: "Not only are there few gun towers and pillboxes, but there are also few patrols."

Duan Peng nodded: "The vigilance here is indeed relatively lax."

In Baoding, Duan Peng had been here once, and he and Li Changshun brought a few team members to carry out the task of blowing up the army columns transporting war supplies by the devils.

At that time, two trains were loaded with 2 tons of combat supplies and stopped at Baoding Railway Station. At that time, the defense around Baoding was also very sparse.

The headquarters personally issued an order, and several nearby guerrillas gathered together. Under the leadership of Duan Peng and others, according to the information provided by Boss Chen, they avoided the devil's patrols and checkpoints. The guerrillas quietly touched the Baoding train. near the station.

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the guerrillas successfully blew up 200 tons of combat materials at the cost of more than 2000 casualties, completing the task assigned by their superiors.

Half a year has passed, and the vigilance of the devils here is still so lax, Duan Peng's mouth reveals a touch of disdain.

In fact, since 2000 tons of combat materials were blown up at Baoding Station, the devils have indeed stepped up their vigilance for a while.

But this is an important military town, and there are very few main activities of the Eighth Route Army nearby. At most, there are some guerrillas, which pose no threat to Baoding.

Over time, the vigilance and defense of the devils relaxed again.

In addition, Ningji Okamura recently organized a large-scale sweep of the Eighth Route Army's Jizhong base area and mobilized a lot of troops, so there are relatively few Japanese troops in Baoding and its vicinity.

Duan Peng took out the map, squinted his eyes, pointed at the map and said, "According to the information provided by Boss Chen, Miyano, the old devil, will take the armored train from Beiping to Baoding Station tomorrow morning. Let's do it on the railway. Immediately ride the army horse to Langya Mountain in the northwest."

Duan Peng has carefully studied the retreat route.

If you want to escape smoothly after work, you can choose two ways. One is to hide in the tunnel, and then get out and go back to Northwest Shanxi after the limelight passes.

The second way is to run into the mountains.

When Duan Peng came here last time, he took over from an underground party and knew that there was a tunnel in the nearby Baizhuang village that could accommodate dozens of people.

but.

Duan Peng chose the second way to escape. As long as he entered the mountain smoothly, the little devil would have nothing to do with them.

Moreover, Langya Mountain is the site of the Eighth Route Army and belongs to the Jinchaji base area.

Duan Peng continued: "Now, let me assign a task. Wang Gensheng and your team will start making bombs."

"Wang Xikui, your team will reconnaissance the railway with me, find out the rules of the devil's railway patrol team, and find the best blasting point."

"Yes!" Wang Xikui and Wang Gensheng shouted in low voices at the same time.

Afterwards, Duan Peng led Wang Xikui's team towards the railway tracks.

Wang Gensheng led the team to unload the explosives from the army horses and began to make detonators and bombs.

……

There are also bunkers and gun towers on both sides of the railway here.

But it is far less dense than Zhengtai Railway and Tongpu Railway.

The original Zhengtai Railway and Tongpu Railway set up a stronghold every two or three miles.

But on the railway here, there is only one stronghold every seven or eight miles.

About an hour later, the rest of the team members were ready to respond at any time. Duan Peng and Wang Xikui found a distance of about 200 meters from the railway for reconnaissance.

There are no barbed wire fences on both sides of the railway here, and no trenches have been dug, but the roadbed is higher than the ground.

Since it was night, Duan Peng and Wang Xikui were lying in the grass, so it was impossible for them to be seen by the passing devil patrol.

Wang Xikui said in a low voice: "Captain, there are flat grounds around here, it seems that it is similar to plant bombs anywhere."

Duan Peng's expression was solemn: "The terrain won't affect our ability to blow up that old devil Miyano Michiichi, but the surrounding area is flat ground, so it may be difficult to get out by detonating the bomb by hand."

Since it is a wire detonation, the position where the detonator is pressed will not be too far from the railroad track.

If a string is used to detonate, the distance will be even closer.

The Type 8 armored train has a total of 4 cars, and the command car is in the fourth car. This mission only needs to blow up the guard car.

But there are another 7 carriages, each with a 7.7mm machine gun, and even the mortar carriage is equipped with a 105mm howitzer.

In addition, the foundation of the railway is higher than the horizon, and the ghosts in the armored train have a better view.

If the person who pressed the detonator got up from his concealed position, he would definitely be exposed to the range of the devil's machine gun and howitzer.

The Jag Heavy can kill it with just one shot.

Wang Xikui quickly thought of this, and said, "Captain, I'm applying to press the detonating device. At worst, I'll exchange one with the old devil. I'm a small captain, and I'll exchange him for his wicked lieutenant general. This deal is worth it!"

"It's not your turn to do this mission yet. Our team is responsible for covering and responding." Duan Peng said firmly, if there is a mission to send someone to death, he must go first, not Wang Xikui.

He thought for a while, and then said: "Use smoke grenades to cover the sight of the Devil's machine gunner and gunner, and the person responsible for detonating will take this opportunity to retreat immediately."

Wang Xikui's eyes lit up slightly, this method is very good.

Each squad of the Sword Squadron is equipped with one 1mm mortar, and this time they also brought two 60mm mortars and some smoke bombs.

"The devil's patrol team is coming!"

Duan Peng suddenly changed his expression and said in a low voice, Wang Xikui quickly lowered his body when he heard this.

"Wang Wang!"

There was a faint sound of barking dogs, and after a while, a group of ghosts appeared in the distance.

Duan Peng and Wang Xikui immediately raised their binoculars to look, and saw more than a dozen devil soldiers carrying rifles appeared in the binoculars' field of vision.

Judging by the number of people, this should be a team of devils, each devil holding a flashlight in his hand.

The ghost at the front was also leading a military dog.

Duan Peng's face darkened slightly, the devil actually has a military dog, and now he is in big trouble.

If the explosives were buried under the railway tracks, they would definitely be sniffed out by the patrolling Japanese military dogs.

At that time, not only will the task not be completed, but the people who are ambushing nearby and preparing to detonate will also be exposed to danger.

After the patrol team passed by, Wang Xikui and Duan Peng continued to lie on the spot until three hours later, they quietly left their hidden positions and disappeared into the darkness.

The good news is that the devil's patrol passes by once every half an hour.

Half an hour is enough for them to bury explosives on the rails and connect the wires to the detonating device.

The bad news is that the devil patrols have military dogs. Although not every patrol has military dogs, the fact that devils have military dogs means that explosives cannot be planted under the railroad tracks.

By the time Duan Peng returned to the woods with Wang Xikui's combat team, more than four hours had passed.

They had to finish laying the bombs by daylight, or they would increase the risk of exposure by waiting until dawn to plant the bombs.

"Gen Sheng, have you got the explosives ready?"

As soon as he entered the woods, Duan Peng asked Wang Gensheng when he saw him.

"Hey hey hey..."

Wang Gensheng pointed to a large dynamite bag beside him, and said, "I added 30 catties of TNT high explosives, fragments, warheads and iron nails, enough for that old devil Miyano to drink a pot of."

Dynamite packs are extremely powerful weapons, and were used by our army to blow up bunkers during the Red Army period.

During the period of the Eighth Route Army, explosives were used for practical tactics, such as bombing roads, bridges, gun towers, and trains.

Even during the War of Liberation, the Eighth Route Army used it as shells for flying thunder cannons.

However, our army's explosive packs are mainly black powder. This kind of gunpowder is not very powerful, but it can't stand the explosive pack with a large amount of charge.

The power is not enough, the number is to make up.

But this time, the TNT explosives brought by Duan Peng and the others are much more powerful than black powder!

Duan Peng looked at the dynamite pack tied like a quilt, with a murderous intent in his smile: "This thing is exciting!"

On the way back to the grove, a team member thought of a way to deal with the devil's army dog.

Put the jerky horse meat on the railway, put some pepper noodles around it, and the ghost army dogs will inhale the pepper noodles when they come to eat the meat.

Although it wouldn't make the ghost army dog ​​useless, it could make the beast lose its sense of smell for three to five days.

Duan Peng and the others did not bring pepper noodles with them, and that team member had already gone to a nearby village to get pepper noodles.

It wasn't long before the team member returned to the woods with peppercorns.

Then, Duan Peng immediately took Wang Gensheng's team to the predetermined railway site to plant bombs.

……

the next day.

10 am.

Puff Puff Puff Puff...

The railway of the heavy armored vehicle made a crackling sound on the rails. Miyano Michiichi sat on the leather sofa in the command car with his legs crossed, with a relaxed expression.

During the Jizhong raid, although some of the Eight Routes broke through during the raid.

However, a part of the Eighth Route was still surrounded by the Japanese army, and Okamura Ningji's highlight, the Tiegun mopping up, was about to begin.

Miyano Michiichi's visit to the Jizhong area this time was not to compliment Neiji Okamura, but to be really interested in the Iron Rolling Sweepstakes.

As the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, one of the biggest headaches is the security situation in Northeast Manchuria.

The anti-Japanese armed forces in Manchuria have never given up resistance, and even these anti-Japanese armed forces have a tendency to grow stronger.

From time to time, there are incidents where the railway is attacked and the tracks are stripped.

The Kwantung Army organized troops to carry out raids many times, but with little success. If this iron rolling raid could deal with the Eighth Route Army, then it would certainly be able to deal with the Manchurian Anti-Japanese Armed Forces.

Thinking of Neiji Okamura's introduction to the iron rolling tactics, Michiko Miyano looked forward to watching the battlefield more and more.

Miyano Michiichi looked at the combat staff officer beside him and asked, "Where are you?"

Following the ticking sound of the telegram, the combat staff officer bowed his head and said, "Go back to General, we are almost here in Baoding!"

"Yo Xi!"

Miyano nodded, but narrowed his eyes slightly.

After the armored train arrives in Baoding and has enough coal and water, it will immediately go to the battlefield. At that time, with a 16 times artillery lens, you can observe the power of the iron rolling tactics at close range.
