Langfang Railway Station is located at the midpoint between Peking and Tianjin. The terrain around the station is very flat. Except for a jujube tree planted on the sand to the east, there are only two Western-style buildings and a few rows of Western-style buildings built by Germans in the entire Langfang Railway Station.

A bungalow built after the 29th Army garrisoned the station.

"Regiment! Urgent call from division headquarters!" In the headquarters of the 229th Regiment of the 38th Division of the 29th Army located in a village in the southern section of Langfang Railway Station, a female radio operator in military uniform reported a report that had just been sent from the 38th Division.

The telegram from the division headquarters was handed over to the leader of the 229th Regiment, Chu Jianxiong, who was looking at the map.

"His grandma! The little devil is really bullying!" After reading the message handed over by the female radio operator, the burly Chu Jianxiong took off the washed and slightly whitish light blue military cap on his head and said fiercely

He slammed it onto the table.

"Regiment leader, what happened?" Huang Guozhong, the chief of staff of the 229th Regiment, who was holding an iron kettle and preparing to make tea, heard Chu Jianxiong getting angry. He quickly put down the iron kettle that was charred black by the smoke and hurried out of the house.

The other end walked to Chu Jianxiong.

"The division headquarters reported that a Japanese army train is coming towards us from the direction of Tianjin. The intention of the enemy is unknown at present. The division headquarters ordered us to pay strict attention. If this Japanese army train enters Langfang Station, we must not let the army

The Japanese in Lieli got out of the car and entered Langfang!" Chu Jianxiong frowned and said solemnly.

"Regiment leader, the order from the division headquarters only said that we should prevent the Japanese on the military train from getting off the train and entering Langfang Station, but it did not specify how to stop it... The situation in Pingjin is complicated at the moment. This order

I'm afraid it will be a little tricky to implement." Regiment Chief of Staff Huang Guozhong took the telegram handed to him by Chu Jianxiong, lowered his head and read it carefully, a look of worry flashed in his eyes.

"What a tricky ball!" Chu Jianxiong couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing this. "Order the commander of the first battalion stationed in Shimeiwu to personally lead two companies and join them with the two companies guarding Langfang Station! The little Japanese's army

If the train dares to drive into Langfang Station, we will use a human wall to block the platform! If the little devils want to force their way out of the train into Langfang, then we will fight for our lives with rifles and bayonets!"

On the railway leading to Langfang Station, a steam locomotive with a huge steel plate on each side of the locomotive was blowing out white smoke while driving quickly forward. In the speeding military train, more than two hundred Japanese soldiers

Sitting in several carriages separately, silently

Checking the weapons and ammunition he carried with him. In a carriage located at the back of the entire military column, Captain Tanaka Rensuke, the commander of the 11th Squadron of the Sakai Regiment, was sitting in it, wiping it repeatedly with a piece of white cotton cloth.

The silver-handled command knife in his hand.

Regarding this attack on Langfang Railway Station, Captain Tanaka Rensuke believed that this was definitely a rare opportunity for him to earn military merit. Just like the previous military operations that his Sakai Regiment participated in in Manchuria, the guard in

Most of the Northeastern troops in Manchuria were fleeing. Therefore, Captain Tanaka Rensuke believed that there would be no exception in North China, and no one could stop the advance of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Although Tanaka Rensuke clearly knew that a regiment-level unit of the 29th Army was stationed at Langfang Railway Station, and the 11th Squadron he led only had 245 soldiers, Tanaka Rensuke still confidently issued the order

The subordinates informed the two Japanese drivers driving the military column not to park in the suburbs after arriving in Langfang, but to drive the military column directly into the platform of Langfang Railway Station.

Regardless of the huge difference in numbers between his troops and the Chinese defenders, you must know that the main force of the Sakai Regiment led by Major Sakai Sanjo is following behind him, plus the dozens of 97s transferred from the 20th Division.

A medium-sized tank, Tanaka Rensuke felt that with such strength, let alone a regiment of the 29th Military Region stationed at Langfang Station, it would be no problem to hit the 29th Army Headquarters in Nanyuan in one go.

As the forward of the entire Sakai Regiment, what Tanaka Rensuke is thinking about right now is how to win a first contribution for himself in today's operation! Although there is a regiment of troops stationed in Langfang, this regiment obviously does not

They might all be crowded into Langfang Railway Station and set up defenses. According to Tanaka Rensuke's estimation, the Chinese army stationed at Langfang Railway Station is at most two companies, which should be almost the same as the number of soldiers he leads.

Therefore, Tanaka Rensuke believes that as long as he drives this military train directly into the platform of Langfang Railway Station, and then destroys or drives away the Chinese defenders stationed in Langfang Railway Station with lightning speed, he can seize the opportunity for the main force of the regiment.

Get an intact one

In order to use the station as a rear base when advancing towards Peiping, the first contribution of the Sakai regiment to enter North China is destined to fall on himself. By then, his rank as captain may be changed to major.

of military rank!

As for the rumor about the 'Abi Messenger' that was recently circulated in the North China garrison, Tanaka Rensuke had also heard a little about it. However, Tanaka Rensuke did not take this kind of thing to heart at all. As the most powerful person in the Imperial Japanese Army

The elite Kwantung Army, Rensuke Tanaka, believed that even if he did encounter the so-called "Abi Messenger" at Langfang Railway Station, it would only be another achievement to add to his long list of achievements.

The only thing that could make Rensuke Tanaka slightly afraid was the armored train of the 29th Army that Captain Sakai mentioned before departure. However, for this reason, Captain Sakai also specially supported Tanaka Rensuke's 11th Squadron.

Two Type 97 medium tanks. Now the two Type 97 medium tanks are parked on the two flatbed cars at the end of this military column.

After receiving the chariot support from the regiment commander, Tanaka Rensuke's original slight feeling of uneasiness was thrown away. Now Tanaka Rensuke only regrets that the speed of the military train he is riding is too slow, which makes him

Had to wait a few hours to show off at Langfang Station.

The weather in July is as unpredictable as the current situation in Pingjin. Just a moment ago, the sky was blue and the sun was shining, but in the blink of an eye, there were dark clouds covering the city and lightning and thunder.

When the military train Tanaka Rensuke was riding slowly entered Langfang Station and stopped on the platform, the big raindrops had already slipped down from the gray sky like a downpour, raging on the concrete floor inside the Langfang Station platform.

Pieces of crystal clear.

The soldiers of the 11th Squadron of the Japanese Army sitting in the military column had just opened the door of the troop transport carriage. Following a shrill sound of trumpets, more than 400 soldiers clutched Czech rifles with bayonets in their hands and wore gray uniforms.

The soldiers of the 29th Army in military uniforms were among several officers.

Under the leadership of the Japanese troops, people poured out from all corners of the platform. In an instant, a gray human wall formed on the side of the Japanese military column. A chilling air suddenly filled the entire building amid the heavy rain.
