After the soldiers arrived at Xiaowangzhuang, they hid in the woods on both sides of the railway. In September, the mountains were full of red leaves, which was very convenient for hiding. The tired soldiers quickly took a few mouthfuls of dry food, and then fell asleep to regain their strength.
Zhang Tinglan and others were carefully considering every step of their actions. Robbery was not a difficult task. The 27th Division, who had a background of bandits, were familiar with the roads, but this robbery was a big trouble.
First, the Japanese escort soldiers must be eliminated, and the reinforcements along the South Manchuria Railway must be blocked. Then, a large number of arms must be transported back to Fengtian without anyone noticing. The difficulty has increased countless times, and a series of actions must be carefully planned.
plan of.
Zhang Tinglan was very lucky to have brought Yang Yuting in. Without his assistance, it would have been very difficult to complete this task just relying on Zhang Zuoxiang, who had a rough background, and Zhang Tinglan, who was an armchair strategist.
"Brigadier, I divided this operation into three parts. The first part is the carjacking. I chose Xiaowangzhuang as the location." Yang Yuting pointed to the map as he spoke: "This is a valley between two mountains.
, to facilitate an ambush, I plan to find two soldiers disguised as railway maintenance personnel. They will issue a warning to the train, trick the train into stopping, and then launch a sudden attack to kill the Japanese soldiers responsible for the escort. It must be clean and neat, leaving no trace behind.
The next survivor!"
In fact, Zhang Tinglan initially planned to blow up the railway, but he was worried that the noise would be too great and cause Russia to abandon the use of the Middle East Road, which would not be worth the loss. Therefore, Yang Yuting's method is good, but there is also a problem, that is, the railway is not destroyed, and reinforcements may be coming soon.
We have arrived, so we must fight quickly without any delay.
There is another problem. The train may not stop immediately when it sees the warning, so you have to be prepared to attack. If that doesn't work, blow up the tracks and block the way.
"The second part is to block foreign aid. The Japanese have deployed ten soldiers for every kilometer along the South Manchuria Railway. They are responsible for patrolling and guarding the annexed areas of 20 kilometers along the line. Therefore, we must remove these eyesores.
The guys should be eliminated, and at the same time, a team of troops should be arranged on the periphery to deal with all the nearby Japanese patrols to prevent them from coming for rescue."
In modern China, wherever the great powers built railways, their power extended. The land and mines around the railways belonged to the great powers, and what was even worse was that troops could be stationed along the railways. Guarding the railways would not only plunder China's wealth, but also rob China of its wealth.
China's sovereignty and dignity were trampled and crushed.
"We don't need to take action to deal with these Japanese garrisons." Zhang Tinglan said fiercely: "I have hired a group of Russians. Many of these guys are veterans of the Russo-Japanese War. They have rich combat experience and are cruel and ruthless. These guys
I must be very willing to tear the Japanese into pieces, just in time to make the Japanese believe that these are weapons plundered by the Russians!"
Zhang Tinglan had long said to Fred that he wanted to bribe various forces within Russia. This was not an empty talk. There were more than 5,000 Russians working as thugs for the black market in the Far East alone, and many active-duty soldiers directly held weapons.
Go to the black market to compete for jobs.
This kind of thing seems crazy, but this is the reality in Russia. The war has destroyed the country. Everyone is looking for a way to survive and work for the black market. At least they will have a good income, and they can also distribute grain, soju, and
Meat, so most soldiers flock to it.
Zhang Tinglan also secretly supported several organizations that opposed the Czar, so it was not difficult at all to get some Russian mercenaries. However, Yang Yuting didn't know the situation in Russia. When he heard that Zhang Tinglan could actually hire Russian mercenaries, he suddenly felt a huge wave of excitement in his heart.
.
Yang Yuting went to Japan to study, but the more he visited foreign countries, the more he knew the gap between China and the great powers. However, the guy in front of him, who was much younger than himself, had no fear of the mighty Tsarist Russia. He not only wanted to snatch their arms, but also wanted to seize their arms.
They also had to drive the Russians, which greatly subverted Yang Yuting's ideas.
After being shocked, Yang Yuting secretly warned himself that he must not be an enemy of Zhang Tinglan. This guy is really terrifying. He doesn't have a formal official position yet, and he can play with the great powers with applause. It will be even more unimaginable in the future.
.
"Since Zhu Yan has arranged for the Russians to act as thugs, our pressure will be reduced a lot, but the most critical step is the third step, which is to transport the materials back safely, especially the cannons and production lines, which must not be allowed to leave.
Any mistakes!"
In fact, it is relatively easy to grab. The trouble is transportation. After Zhang Tinglan set off, he transferred 70 large carriages from the 27th Division's carriage shop as the main force of transportation. He also borrowed them from other businessmen.
Fifty horse-drawn carriages were scattered along the route to serve as supplementary forces. In addition, Zhang Tinglan brought two more horse-drawn carriages to transport grain and groceries on the surface, but in fact provided cover.
As the saying goes, before the army moves, the food and grass go first. These carriages have already arrived at the predetermined position and are ready before Zhang Tinglan and others are dispatched. Planning an operation of this scale can only be done by Zhang Tinglan, who holds the lifeline of Fengtian's business.
Otherwise, who could mobilize so many vehicles in a short period of time?
After Zhang Tinglan introduced his preparations to Yang Yuting, Yang Yuting was even more impressed. It can be said that the preparations are in place. The only thing left is how to distribute them to achieve better results.
"I suggest that after we get it, we first use fifty large trucks to load and transport the artillery, machine guns, and production lines. Divide the remaining twenty large trucks into two roads, one heading towards Inner Mongolia and the other towards Jilin.
Put some ammunition on it. It is best to have it driven by Russians, and deliberately expose some flaws, so that you can successfully blame the Russian side. But there is a lot of remaining ammunition. If you transport it back to Fengtian rashly, I am afraid it will attract the attention of outsiders.
!”
Zhang Tinglan looked at the map carefully again, calculated in his mind, and then said: "More than thirty kilometers away, there are several cargo stations. They were built after the North Market was built to facilitate the transportation of Jilin's materials. They can be temporarily hidden.
Some ammunition, but not for too long!"
"I also know a place to go." Sun Anhu also interjected: "There is also Woniu Mountain nearby. It used to be occupied by many bandits. I led troops to wipe it out two years ago. I just sent people to explore it, and it is still empty.
, there are several caves in Woniu Mountain, which can also hide some less important things."
When Yang Yuting heard this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Heavy artillery and machines are the most important. They must be transported back as soon as possible. Other machine guns and ammunition can be temporarily hidden, and then moved like ants without anyone noticing.
Get Fengtian back!"
After the general action plan was finalized, Yang Yuting arranged for scouts to carefully inspect the route, measure the distance, and prepare for the retreat after success.
Zhang Tinglan handed Sun Anhu over: "Uncle Anhu, after taking the arms, I have to trouble you to do something. Send a batch of counterfeit coins and printing machines to a villa in Jilin, and then deliberately leave them behind."
Some evidence to induce others to find this place."
There must be an explanation for the counterfeit currency case, so simply blame it on the Russians. If they have the guts to rob arms, they will naturally have the guts to print counterfeit currency. In this way, the Japanese have no excuse to launch an attack. Sun Anhu also nodded in agreement.
All arrangements are almost made, the rest depends on when the train arrives.
The nights in the Northeast are already very cold in September. Spending the night in the mountains and forests is indeed a test of one's physical fitness. Zhang Tinglan really couldn't stand the cold dew and the fierce mountain wind.
Zhang Zuoxiang handed him a pot of soju: "Take a few sips first to keep warm!"
After drinking the spicy soju, Zhang Tinglan felt as if her esophagus was on fire. She immediately felt much better and took two more sips.
Zhang Zuoxiang pointed to the sky: "Tinglan, do you see it? The moon and stars are all gone. The mountain wind at night carries a sense of moisture. I guess it might rain tomorrow!"
"It's good if it rains!" Zhang Tinglan didn't care about the cold anymore: "As long as it rains, all traces can be covered up. This is God's blessing on us!"
"Well, it depends on what God wants. If it succeeds this time, the Twenty-seventh Division will be really developed, and Fengtian will fall into Zhang Yuting's control. Tinglan, you can't just work stupidly, you have to think carefully.
Whatever you want to do, I will fight for you!"
Of course Zhang Tinglan knew what his father meant, which was to let him strive for more benefits, but Zhang Tinglan's idea was not that simple: "Dad, can one Fengtian satisfy his appetite? I think the three eastern provinces are all smaller. Now I can eat more.
If you take one less bite, it will be of no use. The winner is the one who laughs in the end!"
Zhang Zuoxiang smiled bitterly and nodded. I dare say his ambition is not as big as that of a child!
After spending the night, the liaison officer came over to report to Zhang Tinglan that the Russian mercenaries were already in place. Zhang Tinglan immediately asked Sun Anhu to go and command the Russians. When the troops were attacked here, they would kill the Japanese garrison along the way to prevent them from advancing.
Come to aid.
Sun Anhu immediately went to make arrangements. In the afternoon, Sun Anhu sent news that everything was ready. Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan were finally relieved.
According to Fred's information, the train would pass Xiaowangzhuang in the evening. Zhang Tinglan had already dispatched a small force, arrested two rail maintenance personnel, stripped off all their clothes, and replaced them with two Fengjun soldiers.
on the body.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the two disguised workers came near the railway and hid themselves.
Time passed by, Zhang Tinglan's fists were clenched tightly, and his palms were covered in cold sweat. The things in this train were too important, and there must be no mistakes.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, there was a rumbling sound in the distance, and a train was coming here quickly. This old-fashioned steam locomotive, with its smoke and roar, and loud sound, is a real train.
At this time, the two workers in disguise ran to the railway track, waved red flags desperately, and shouted in Japanese to stop the train. The locomotive driver seemed to have seen someone shouting, and they were still speaking in Japanese and wearing Mantai overalls.
, the driver never thought that this was a trap. When he saw that the other party was Japanese, he just thought that there was a danger on the road ahead, so he braked urgently.
Seeing that the train began to slow down, Zhang Tinglan suddenly waved his fist: "It's done!"
