The Japanese were actually helpless about this.

The Japanese actually knew that the artillery tower could not defend against the rocket launcher. As long as Danfan had a few rocket launchers, no matter whether the rocket launcher was in the guerrillas or the Eighth Route Army, the gun tower was the target and could only be beaten.

But what can the Japanese do?

With such a long traffic line and so short of troops, it is basically impossible to use trenches to defend with trenches.

So we can only continue to add barbed wire, mines, etc. in front of the gun tower to try to increase the difficulties of the bazooka shooter.

This may be effective for guerrillas. The guerrillas lack supply and grenades, so demining becomes a very difficult and dangerous thing.

But for the Eighth Route Army, especially the Independent Regiment, it was too simple. Grenades were thrown forward in rows, and in a short while, a wide and long road was blown out to the Japanese artillery tower.

At this time, the Japanese in the artillery tower had already run away almost... To be precise, they should be the puppet army, and the troops stationed in the artillery tower were usually one or two Japanese and one extra shift.

The Japanese might hold on in the artillery tower, but the puppet army saw that the situation was not good, and knew that the grenade was getting closer and closer, which meant that the rocket launcher was getting closer. There was only a dead end to stay in the artillery tower.

They were originally trying to survive, so they would not care about the Japanese at this time, and they would run around as soon as they retreated.

On the Eighth Route Army, as soon as the bazooka hit, someone rushed forward with the aftermath of the explosion, and then stuffed explosive packs and cluster grenades into the shot hole... A cannon tower was bombed into the sky.

When Li Yunlong looked at this scene, he sighed: "Damn it, I don't know how much effort it took to fight the Japanese artillery tower. He was holding an explosive bag and rushing with firepower. He didn't want to take down his life. I didn't expect it to be so easy today!"

Zhao Gang lay down and smiled, "What? Do you still miss the days before?"

"How can it be!" Li Yunlong replied: "I am not stupid to miss the past? I am just polite. I am just polite to praise the little Northeast. Without the things he has done, we may have to use our lives to pile up like before!"

Zhao Gang nodded and thought to himself that it was not just weapons and equipment, but also that the independent regiment could expand to its current scale, isn’t it because of the textile machine of the small Northeast?

Just as the two of them were praising Wang Xuexin, two whistles came from the front... This was a secret code set before the war, indicating that they had penetrated the enemy's defense and occupied the railway.

Li Yunlong immediately ordered: "Disassemble the rails immediately, move quickly!"

The correspondent responded and passed the order down, so the Eighth Route Army put away the rifle, the engineer shovel and the prying pole, and prying the rails one by one in a few seconds, and then the guerrillas carried the rails backwards and moved them backwards to the base.

The night was a great harvest, and all troops completed their tasks in excess, and the total length of the railway tracks they had tapped reached more than ten miles, but some of them were slightly deformed during the prying and transportation process, which needed some correction.

These are all small problems, and the engineers can do it quickly.

Okamura Yasuna frowned after hearing about this incident, and felt a little strange.

Yoshio Shinozuka thought this was normal. He said to Okamura Yanji: "The Eighth Route Army has always had operations to destroy our army's railway tracks, but this operation is only larger. General does not have to worry about this. We have enough railway tracks that will be restored and opened to traffic in a few hours!"

Okamura Yasuji shook his head and said, "I'm not worried about this!"

"That General is..."

Guye

"Shinozuka-kun!" said Okamura Yiji: "Don't you find it strange? The Eighth Route Army rarely uses regular troops to attack our army's railway tracks, and the regular troops are used on such a large scale!"

Okamura Yanji was right. The railway was usually done by guerrillas. It was easy for regular troops to be surrounded by the Japanese and fall into trouble. The result was that the gain was not worth the loss.

Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a while and replied: "General, the Eighth Route Army did this to cooperate with the battle of the stubborn army, right? After all, they have cooperated again now. What's more, the Eighth Route Army's equipment has also been greatly improved. Their regular troops have already had the strength to confront our army head-on, so they have gone from secret to light!"

Okamura Yasuji nodded and said, "What you said makes sense, but... there is more than this strange place. Think about it, the Eighth Route Army has occupied Nakajo Mountain and owns its own iron ore or even an iron smelting plant. Do they still need to reuse the railway tracks as before? If their purpose is to destroy our army's transportation, they just need to melt the railway tracks, why should they take them away?"

This stopped Yoshio Shinozuka.

This is indeed a problem. The Eighth Route Army did this during the Hundred Regiments War. They were insufficient in transportation and could not transport the rails away in time. So they burned the sleepers on the site and set the rails on the sleepers. After the burning and melting, they smashed them with a hammer a few times...

This is even more deadly to the railway.

Because these smashed rails are completely unable to be used, the sleepers are burned out and need to be repaved.

In addition, this method is also very time-saving for the Eighth Route Army.

Simply put, it means that the Eighth Route Army can destroy more rails by using this method.

But this time...

The Eighth Route Army only prying off the rails but not burning sleepers, which is indeed unreasonable for the Eighth Route Army, which owns iron ore and does not lack iron.

Unless, what they lack is the rails.

But how is it possible!

The Eighth Route Army didn’t even have a train, what’s the use of asking for rails?

Yoshio Shinozuka thought this idea was ridiculous, so he didn't even mention it.

Okamura Yasuji said again: "What's more, there is one today, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, there may be some. If we allow the Eighth Route Army to destroy our army's traffic lines in this way and our army has no countermeasures, do you know what this means? It means we will be endlessly trapped in the dilemma of replenishing railways and traffic interruptions! This is absolutely not allowed and must be stopped!"

"Yes!" Shinozuka Yoshio stepped forward and replied.

However, although it was so answered, I thought to myself... It's not easy to talk about it. Highways don't count, just railways have more than a thousand kilometers.

As a defensive side, we must guard every part of the more than a thousand kilometers, but the Eighth Route Army can attack any point.

But Okamura Yiji really had a solution. He walked around his desk a few times and ordered: "Carry two armored trains right away! We need it to protect the safety of the traffic line, especially at this time!"

"Yes!" Shinozuka Yoshio responded, and had to admit in his heart that armored trains are indeed a powerful tool to protect traffic lines, and they are much more useful than artillery towers.

Wang Xuexin on the other side did not know that Li Yunlong had ripped the rails too hard, which directly led to the Japanese who transferred a large killing weapon, which caused some variables to his plan.
