Heroes of the War of Resistance

"That's right! The little devil is indeed stationed in Zaozhuang, and there is indeed a regiment of troops stationed there. The problem is, the area of ​​Zaozhuang is not small. The former railway was bombed, and the little devil built a lot of bunkers and fortifications outside the city.

In several towns that are closer to the railway, the little devils have also increased their garrison troops.In addition to the previous battles, I have eliminated nearly a thousand little devils.In Zaozhuang City, the strength of the little devils is only about 1000 people.

Once the railway is attacked, the troops deployed by the Japanese army around the railway will definitely rush to reinforce it.Even dare I say, the little devils in the city will come for reinforcements.As long as they are killed, how many devils can be left in the city? "

Facing Hu Biao's battle analysis, Sun Xinghua and Lin Dingyuan also felt that it made sense.Although this plan is a bit risky, it is just as Hu Biao said earlier.Once you win the battle, the results will be extremely rich!

Chapter Table of Contents Chapter [-] How confident are you?

The construction of the Jinpu Railway began in the Guangxu period, and it was not officially opened to traffic until the first year of the Republic of China.The main railway line from Jinmen to Pukou in Jinling, which intersects with the Longhai Line in Xuzhou, is the most important north-south railway line in the Republic of China.

The fundamental reason for the Xuzhou battle initiated by the Japanese army this time was to open up this railway and complete its strategy of north-south intercommunication.The Jiajinpu Railway runs through the three major regions of North China, Huanghuai and Jianghuai, and its strategic significance is extremely important.

If the railway can be fully controlled, the Japanese army will have more strategic initiative and further reduce the living space of the anti-Japanese troops.On the side of the railway near the sea, the Japanese army can also completely control it, thereby dividing the important areas from north to south.

It is precisely because of the importance of the Jinpu Railway that the Japanese troops who invaded the land of Qilu attached great importance to the cities along the railway.And Zaozhuang is also an extremely important transportation hub for the Jinpu Railway, and there is also the golden waterway of the Grand Canal in the territory.

The Japanese army on the front line was victorious, and they were chasing the retreating main force of the fifth theater across the board.The main force of the Japanese army in charge of pursuing and suppressing naturally needs stronger logistical support from the rear to ensure that the troops can achieve greater results.

Hu Biao was not very concerned about the frontline battles, and he knew that his participation would not help.In this case, in order to reduce the pressure on the frontline troops, Hu Biao still felt that the Zaozhuang section of the Jinpu Railway should be paralyzed for a period of time.

Blowing up two sections of railways earlier has actually helped the Fifth Theater a lot.The main force of the Japanese army attacking the fifth war zone, faced with the inability to deliver supplies in time from the rear, naturally did not dare to underestimate the enemy and rush forward, for fear of repeating the fate of the tenth division.

Seeing the fifth war zone retreating slowly, it might be too late if they don't pursue it. The main force of the Japanese army fighting on the front line also keeps sending reports to destroy and speed up the speed of railway repair.The train responsible for transporting supplies has already been loaded and is waiting to be driven.

In order to ensure that the materials were transported to the front line on time, the Zaozhuang garrison officer who learned that the railway was successfully repaired also breathed a sigh of relief: "Damn it! The railway is finally repaired! The train to transport the supplies is about to leave. Have you made arrangements for the railway?"

"Don't worry, Commander! To ensure the safety of the transport convoy, we have deployed multiple patrols along the route. With the bunkers we built, even if someone wants to use the railway, we can make it impossible for them to return."

"Hey! In order to ensure the safety of the material train, the troops along the railway line are ordered to strengthen their vigilance. Inform the troops stationed in the city to maintain a state of combat readiness. Once there is an accident on the railway side, immediately leave the city to rush to reinforcements.

The murderer who attacked the coal mine and the railway in the past has not been found out so far.I am worried that if we let them know that we have a large amount of supplies that are about to arrive at the front line, they will definitely carry out sabotage, so we have to guard against it! "

"Boss, didn't the special high school call earlier to say that they have found some clues?"

"What's the use of those clues? They only caught a few miners who fled back to their hometown, and they still didn't get any useful information from those miners. The special high class suspected that the attack was made by Tuba Road, do you think it's credible? "

Just like what Hu Biao was worried about, the young men who were rescued earlier, those young men who decided to go back to their hometown to report safety, were unfortunately captured by the Japanese army in the end.In the occupied areas, the Japanese army bought many spies to inform them.

Knowing that there was a young man who had been arrested, he escaped from the Zaozhuang coal mine and was stationed there by the Japanese army, so naturally he would not miss the opportunity to arrest him.Regarding the attack on the Zaozhuang coal mine, the Japanese garrison troops stationed in various places have already been informed by the special high school.

What makes the super high class a little helpless is that the young men who fled back to their hometowns can provide extremely limited information.The only thing that can be confirmed is the team that attacked the coal mine. The number should be around 300.

All of them are equipped by the Japanese army, and their combat level is extremely high.As for which anti-Japanese armed force it is, those young and strong don't know.But most young and middle-aged people think that it should be the Eighth Route Army who rescued them.

The reason is that issuing travel expenses is also the way the Eighth Route Army behaves.But chopping one's head to build a Beijing temple seems to be different from what the Japanese army learned about the Eighth Route Army.As it turned out, the investigation was once again at an impasse.

From the captured Qingzhuang mouth, the special high-level class also knows another news, that is, the team that attacked the coal mine seems to have left.According to the analysis of the Japanese Army Special High School, this team should be hiding in Yimeng Mountain.

Although Zaozhuang is far from the Yimeng mountain area, it is somewhat far away.But the Yimeng Mountains still extend to Zaozhuang.Recently, the number of anti-Japanese armed forces in the Yimeng Mountain area has also been increasing, posing a lot of threats to the surrounding defenders.

Through the analysis of these intelligences, the focus of the investigation of the Japanese Special High School has also recently been transferred to the anti-Japanese armed forces in the Yimeng Mountain area.In their view, the possibility of fleeing and committing crimes is not small.Hitting and running is also what the anti-Japanese armed forces are good at.

Hu Biao naturally did not know about these situations.Even if he knew it, Hu Biao would still think he was laughing.Taking advantage of the little devil's attention shifting to the Yimeng Mountain area, Hu Biao's idea of ​​attacking Zaozhuang will become relatively easier.

Coming out of the temporary station of the Lunan Detachment of the Eighth Route Army, Hu Biao and his party rushed to the vicinity of the railway overnight.For Hu Biao, according to the information provided by the military command, the little devil will send multiple trains to Zaozhuang to transport supplies.

What Hu Biao wanted to do was to rob one or two trains and destroy the railway again.All the trains brought by the Japanese army must stop at the railway, or find a train station along the line to stop, or even turn around and return.

Seeing Hu Biao and his party coming and going in a hurry, Sun Xinghua, who was standing at the mountain pass to see him off, also said seriously: "I have always heard that Hu Biao is good at using troops, and it seems to be true! Dingyuan, how sure are you of winning this battle?"

"Detachment Captain, judging from his battle plan and assumptions, there are quite a few chances of success. The premise is that we don't know how many troops and strength he has. At least one thing can be confirmed, this person should not be stupid!"

"what do you mean?"

"If there is no certainty, who would dare to formulate such a crazy battle plan? This kind of person is either a fool or a lunatic!"

"What about your opinion?"

It is clear that the detachment has just arrived in Zaozhuang, and they don't know much about the enemy's situation in the territory. It is indeed very dangerous to participate in such a big battle hastily.But Sun Xinghua also understands that if this battle can be won, then the benefits will be huge.

As the new chief of staff sent by the headquarters, Lin Dingyuan knew very well that the superior sent him here, more because he was Lin Yashi's elder brother.From the information learned by the Eighth Route Army, they felt that Hu Biao and Lin Yashi should be a couple.

According to domestic sophistication, Lin Dingyuan is Hu Biao's second brother-in-law. With this relationship, it will be easier for the two parties to cooperate.But before Lin Dingyuan asked her sister carefully, Lin Yashi said that she and Hu Biao were not lovers.

The only thing that made Lin Dingyuan gratified was that perhaps Lin Yashi served as Hu Biao's confidential adviser, and his precious sister knew many things about Hu Biao.What made him depressed was that Lin Yashi didn't mention anything about the spy company at all.

Lin Yashi, who is equally smart, also guessed the Eighth Route Army's plan when she saw her second brother appear in Zaozhuang.Although she felt a bit embarrassed, Lin Yashi still understood that she could not live up to Hu Biao's trust in her, and she could not reveal any secrets about the team.

Even when the brothers and sisters said goodbye, Lin Yashi said seriously: "Brother, you are an officer of the Eighth Route Army, and I am the staff officer of the Xuesha Battalion. Our identities are different. If you want to know the situation, you can directly ask our captain.

There is just one thing I can tell you, that is our captain, and he has no bad intentions for your Eighth Route Army.Otherwise, you really think that we have too many weapons and no place to use them, and send you off one after another!Those medicines, we are all losing money to make money! "

Through Lin Yashi's words, Lin Dingyuan also didn't want sibling politics to be mixed with this kind of intrigue.This time he was sent to serve as the chief of staff of the detachment. Lin Dingyuan actually came to the front to find out for the follow-up main force.

The main force of the Eighth Route Army will soon advance to southern Shandong and other places to fight behind enemy lines. It is also necessary for the Eighth Route Army anti-Japanese armed forces operating in Qilu to make some preparations in advance.The most basic point is that there must be a relatively safe base behind enemy lines.

In addition, it is also necessary to prepare relatively sufficient combat materials for the main force.When large troops enter Qilu territory to fight behind enemy lines, the supplies they carry must be limited.Without preparing food and grass in advance, how to feed the main force that has come over?

During the war years, a large amount of land was uncultivated, and food was essential for any army.Although the Eighth Route Army seldom pays military salaries, young people joining the Eighth Route Army can't let these soldiers have nothing to eat, can they?

Weapons and food are indispensable for any army.This time, the Lunan guerrilla detachment, which was ordered to come to Zaozhuang to establish a base area behind the enemy, solved the problem of weapons.The detachment also needs to find a way to raise food that can feed thousands of people.

Prime Minister Hu Biao raised a lot of food through the suppression of bandits before rescuing the prisoners of war, and the food brought by the guerrilla detachment was extremely limited when they first arrived.Looking for cooperation with the guerrilla detachment, Hu Biao felt that the possibility of the guerrilla detachment's rejection was not high.

In the final analysis, if the guerrilla detachment commanded by Sun Xinghua and Lin Dingyuan wanted to make a difference in Zaozhuang, it would be impossible for them not to take any risks.Don't accumulate more strength before Hu Biao leaves, and wait for the Japanese army to launch a siege.

After reporting the situation, the leader of the column also gave instructions to let the guerrilla detachment fully cooperate with Hu Biao's actions.In fact, guerrilla detachments do not have much choice.Taking the gift from Hu Biao, he also has to bear the reputation of harassing Zaozhuang.

Although this kind of reputation helps to enhance the prestige of the Eighth Route Army in the Zaozhuang area, it will also intensify the Japanese army's pursuit and interception of the Eighth Route Army.If there is a little carelessness, the guerrilla detachment that has just arrived in Zaozhuang may pay a heavy price.

If more weapons, ammunition and supplies were accumulated before the Japanese army launched an encirclement and suppression operation, the column could mobilize more troops to deal with the Japanese army.With weapons and food, the Qilu column can form more troops.

The growth of the war is a perfect description of the Eighth Route Army.Being in the enemy's rear, it is impossible to expand your strength safely and steadily.Fight early and fight late, after all, you still have to fight.This battle is always inevitable!

Chapter Directory Chapter [-] Cooking in advance

Leaving the mountain where the Lunan guerrilla detachment was located, Hu Biao and his party rushed to the railway line overnight.According to the continuous reconnaissance in the past few days, Hu Biao has already figured out the patrol situation of the Japanese army along the railway line, and also knows the location of the two bunkers that the Japanese army just built.

Compared with the control of the railway by the little devils in the later period, the Japanese army, which had just occupied Zaozhuang not long ago, was also exploring ways to effectively control the railway.Building blockhouses in sections was also an experiment by the Japanese army, and the number of blockhouses will continue to increase in the later period.

If there are no changes, the little devils will build armored trains in the later stage, and use patrol cars similar to armored cars as sharp weapons for railway patrols.Facing that kind of moving armored car, it is really not easy to think of a railway idea.

The most important thing is that this kind of armored train that can run on the railway, the reinforcement speed car and the infantry reinforcement are even bigger.Once it is known that there is a train attack there, the armored vehicles arranged nearby will be able to rush for reinforcements as soon as possible.

Although he didn't know much about Zaozhuang's anti-Japanese history, Hu Biao knew that this section of the railway line should be the area where the railway guerrillas of later generations would operate.Around this railway line, there have been too many epic anti-Japanese deeds.

Knowing the reason for the railway guerrillas was also the process of reconnaissance. Hu Biao learned that there is a Weishan Lake in Zaozhuang.The theme song "Weishan Lake is quiet" was broadcast by the railway guerrillas in the early years, and it was about this Weishan Lake.
