Chapter 502 Okamura: I want to challenge the weakness of the Eighth Route Army!
Chapter 5 Okamura: I want to challenge the weakness of the Eighth Route Army!
Behind a bush about 100 meters away from the railway track, there is a small mound of inconspicuous soil.

In order to prevent the railway from being attacked, the devils did not dig trenches or pull barbed wire.

However, the devils occupied hundreds of meters of land on both sides of the railway and prevented the common people from planting crops, so the two sides of the railway are very open.

Beside the small mound, a pair of beady eyes turned slightly, staring at the direction of the railway.

In order to achieve the best concealment effect, the Sword Squadron directly dug a pit on the ground that could accommodate people. People lay down in the pit, and then covered it with a layer of soil and weeds, so that the hiding place was in the same color as the surrounding area.

With the concealment technology of the Sword Squadron, ordinary people can't find it even if they get close.

It was Wang Gensheng who was in charge of pressing the detonator. Beside him was a detonator modified from a telephone and a low-power walkie-talkie.

Wang Gensheng entered the detonation position before dawn. He hid in the ambush position for five hours and remained motionless.

And Duan Peng led the rest of the team, ready to respond at any time in the distance.

Two 2mm mortars were set up in the cornfield, and the shooting elements had been adjusted in advance, and the muzzles were pointed in the direction of the railroad tracks, ready to fire smoke bombs at any time to cover Wang Gensheng's retreat.

Puff Puff Puff Puff...

There was the sound of the train's iron wheels rubbing against the rails on the railway.

Wang Gensheng's expression moved, and he held the handle of the detonator tightly with his right hand. Since he couldn't turn his head to look at it, he could only see the target clearly when the train came into the front view.

Not long after, a train with thick smoke appeared in Wang Gensheng's field of vision.

not the target...

The train quickly disappeared from sight. Wang Gensheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately let go of his right hand holding the handle of the detonator, and continued to wait for the prey.

In order to achieve the maximum power, Wang Gensheng's team made two more bundles of TNT explosives, and buried three bundles of explosives under the railway sleepers, each weighing no less than 2 kilograms.

It will definitely let that old devil Miyano Michiichi get on the dirt plane.

About half an hour later, after a small squad of devil patrols passed by, there was another crackling sound from the direction of the railway, this time the sound was much duller than last time.

After a while, a heavy armored train appeared in front of Wang Gensheng's field of vision.

"That's it!"

The [-] heavy armored train is not common in North China. Once it appears, there is a high probability that there will be high-ranking devils inside.

Because of ordinary guerrilla attacks, the devils only need to dispatch small armored vehicles to deal with them.

Wang Gensheng's right hand tightly held the handle of the detonator again.

At the same time, counting in his mouth:

"one!"

"two!"

"three!"

"Four!"

When he counted to four, the command car of the Type [-] armored train was just above the place where the explosive package was buried.

Wang Gensheng turned the handle in his hand without hesitation, and then pressed it down suddenly!
The electricity is instantly transmitted to the detonator tied to the explosive package, and the explosion of the detonator detonates the explosive package.

"Boom!" The moment he pressed the detonator, a thunderous explosion sounded like landslides and ground cracks. As the sound spread, the explosion sounded the vast sky.

I saw a group of orange-red flames suddenly blooming from the command car, and the flames instantly engulfed the entire command car.

Even the armored locomotive and gun carriage C in front of the command car were also affected.

As the flames rolled upward like a flower of death, the cloud and mist produced by the explosion suddenly spread around.

Duan Peng, Wang Xikui and the others not only heard the explosion in the cornfield in the distance, but also saw the fourth carriage of the armored train engulfed in flames through the field of vision of the telescope.

The corner of Duan Peng's mouth curled up slightly, and he shouted loudly, "Smoke bomb!"

As soon as his words fell, the sharp sword team members in the mortar position immediately put smoke bombs into the barrel.

After two muffled bangs, the smoke bomb was put into the barrel again, and then the gunner slightly adjusted the shooting elements, and fired two more smoke bombs...

As the continuous smoke bombs hit the devil's [-]th armored train.

Soon, the entire [-]th armored train was enveloped in a thick layer of gray-white smoke.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Gensheng cut the wire with a knife, jumped up from his hidden position, and ran towards the corn field with the detonator.

The devils on the other armored trains of the Type [-] armored train also felt uncomfortable.

In particular, the devils in the two carriages of the gun carriage C and the armored locomotive adjacent to the command carriage also suffered heavy casualties.

At the same time, a choking black gunpowder poured into other cars from the junction of the cars, coupled with the thick smoke bombs outside, all the surviving devils were stunned.

Who am I and where am I?
However, a few devil machine gunners with rich combat experience quickly reacted, took up the 7.7mm Type [-] heavy machine gun and fired indiscriminately towards the outside.

In this situation, the devils did not dare to get out of the car rashly, and the machine gunners took up the Type [-] heavy machine guns one after another.

Da da da…

The firing sound of the Type [-] heavy machine gun sounded like popping beans.

The devil's gunners were also firing indiscriminately around.

But at this time, Wang Gensheng, holding the detonator, entered the corn field smoothly and joined Duan Peng and the others.

"How about Gensheng, are you not injured?"

Duan Peng looked Wang Gensheng up and down, with a hint of worry on his expression. The devil's heavy machine guns continued, and he was really afraid that stray bullets would hit Wang Gensheng.

Although Wang Gensheng was in good shape, Duan Peng still asked subconsciously.

"Captain, I'm fine!" Wang Gensheng smiled slightly, with a happy expression, "If Miyano Michiichi, an old devil, is in that command car, then he's dead, and even if the Heavenly King and I come here, I won't be able to save him."

"It should be dead. The information given by Boss Chen has never been wrong." The corner of Duan Peng's mouth twitched slightly.

"That's true." Wang Gensheng nodded, his eyes were bright, and it was refreshing to have information.

At this time, the two mortar teams had put away the mortar, and installed the mortar body and base on the horseback.

At that moment, Duan Peng shouted without hesitation: "Withdraw!"

Immediately afterwards, the team members got on their horses one after another, and in the farewell of the Devil's machine guns and howitzers, they hurried towards the Langya Mountain in the northwest.

The devils poured out their firepower for a while, only to realize that there was no enemy to fight back.

Afterwards, the devils jumped off the armored train in a panic, looking at the command car that had almost disintegrated in the explosion, their faces turned pale.

Judging from the situation of the explosion, the devils knew that Lieutenant General Miyano was doomed, and that even if Amaterasu came, he would not be able to save him.

……

Peiping.

North China Front Army Command.

Neiji Okamura and Moritake Tanabe, who had been busy all morning, were sitting together for breakfast.

The breakfast is relatively rich, with rice, eggs, side dishes and grilled fish.

Okamura Ningji was a little disappointed in this Jizhong raid. He didn't know what went wrong, but he couldn't encircle the entire Eighth Route Army.

At least most of the Eighth Route Army jumped out of the encirclement before the Japanese army's iron-rolling mopping tactics formed an encirclement situation.

However, several infantry regiments and a cavalry regiment were still surrounded in the encirclement.

Even these Eighth Route Army had a chance to break out of the encirclement, and his Jizhong raid almost failed, but the Eighth Route Army of these regiments fell into the siege of the Japanese army in order to protect the people from moving.

A few regiments are better than none.

What's more, there has never been a battle in which several regiments of the Eighth Route Army were wiped out at the same time.

Moreover, this time the Eighth Route Army fell into a situation of siege because it covered the retreat of the common people, so Okamura Ningji discovered the weakness of the Eighth Route Army.

Although the Japanese army broke into the base area, it mainly dealt with the Eighth Route Army in the base area, and the massacre of the people in the base area was just a matter of convenience.

However, these Eighth Route Army were still fearless of death, and they covered the retreat of the common people one after another.

Although Neji Okamura was eating his breakfast, his mind was thinking quickly. He thought to himself that this trick could be used on the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi.

Even if all the Eighth Route Army and ordinary people in Northwest Shanxi were not dealt with.

But as long as the autumn grain in Northwest Shanxi is destroyed and taken away, and the people starve to death in pieces, the Eighth Route Army will become rootless duckweed in Northwest Shanxi.

Without the support of the common people, what will your Eighth Route Army use to fight the Imperial Army?
This time personally planning and personally commanding, Okamura Ningji is going to challenge the weakness of the Eighth Route Army in the sweep of the base areas in Northwest Shanxi.

Right now, the Eight Routes and a group of ordinary people of several regiments in Jizhong have been surrounded by 3 Japanese troops.

After this battle is over, it won't be long before the sweep of the Eighth Route Army's Northwest Shanxi base area begins.

"Tanabe-kun, Miyano-kun, you should have arrived in Baoding by now, right?" Neiji Okamura asked.

"Yes!" Moritake Tanabe replied, "According to the time, Lieutenant General Miyano has already arrived in Baoding. After the Hayate armored train is filled with coal and water in Baoding, it will go to the battle area to observe the new tactics of the general at close range. Among the high-ranking military officers in the entire empire, only the tactics of your Excellency the General are so attractive."

Moritake Tanabe did not forget to flatter, and Neiji Okamura, who was reused by Minister of the Army Tojo Hideji, has a bright future.

Although Tanabe Moritake's flattery was a bit embarrassing, Okamura Neiji's face showed a smug look.

This time, the new iron-rolling mopping tactics he developed are indeed different from the past.

The Eighth Route Army of the Jizhong Military Region is not the Eighth Route Army in Northwest Shanxi. It does not have such good equipment and such strong combat effectiveness. It is only a matter of time before it is eliminated.

Neiji Okamura ordered: "Tanabe-kun, contact Hayate immediately and remind Miyano-kun to be careful."

"Hi!" Moritake Tanabe bowed his head.

At this moment, the communications staff officer of the headquarters hurried in, with an extremely ugly expression on his face.

The communications staff officer paused and reported: "Report to the commander and chief of staff, something serious has happened!"

"What are you panicking?" Shengwu Tanabe frowned, "What happened?"

The communications staff quickly picked up the telegram and began to read: "The captain of the gendarmerie stationed in Baoding, Major Kato, just sent an urgent telegram. The Hayate armored train that Miyano Michiichi was riding on was hit by a bomb 10 kilometers northeast of Baoding. General Miyano is the emperor. Your Majesty is loyal!"

"Nani?" Tanabe Moritake's hand that was about to use chopsticks to pick up vegetables suddenly moved there, his face was horrified, it was unbelievable

Neiji Okamura was even more stiff, motionless like a clay sculpture.

"Baga!" After 2 minutes, Neiji Okamura shouted suddenly, and overturned the small table, and the rice, eggs and other breakfast on the table fell all over the floor.

His eyes showed madness, and the killing intent quickly gathered in his eyes, as if he was about to kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.
