A series of violent explosions sounded one after another in the Japanese positions.
The train where the ammunition was stored could no longer withstand the high temperature and exploded violently.
This time, there was no need for Ding Wei and the others to launch an attack, and the Japs' position caught fire first.
Tens of millions of artillery shells exploded violently one after another, and dazzling red lights resounded around the railway tracks one after another.
Before the nearby Japanese had time to react, they were swallowed up by the fire produced by the explosion, were thrown away on the spot, and were dismembered into pieces in mid-air.
"Hold!"
Ding Wei cursed and immediately stopped the charging team.
Seeing the Japs in front of him being blown up and howling like ghosts and wolves, Ding Wei immediately became happy, which actually saved him a lot of trouble.
Deafening explosions sounded one after another, the ground was shaking along with it, and the position in front of them had exploded into a sea of flames.
The Japanese soldiers who were at the point of explosion were frightened by this sudden situation. They had been in the army for many years and had never experienced such a scene.
It's not their fault. Thousands of cannonballs exploded in this place, which would scare even the bravest ones.
The battle formation of the Japanese soldiers completely collapsed in the explosion. The red firelight illuminated the night as if it were daytime and was clearly visible even from several miles away.
Run.
Run quickly.
The explosions were mixed with the panicked shouts of the Japanese. They had forgotten the battle and just wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as quickly as possible.
Of course Ding Wei would not follow them politely.
He held a rifle and aimed a shot at a fleeing Japanese soldier.
The blazing bullet accurately penetrated his back, knocking him to the ground. The Japanese soldier who was following him tripped over the corpse and fell down.
Seeing his companion who had turned into a dead dog, he couldn't care less and hurriedly wanted to get up from the ground.
But before he could get up, Ding Wei fired again, and a bloody hole suddenly appeared on the back of the Japs soldier's head. His body went limp, and he lay on the ground, dying.
The rumbling explosions obscured the sound of gunfire. Under the dazzling firelight, the stream of bullets seemed to be inconspicuous in the dark night.
The continuous consequences of thermite incendiary bombs had a great impact on this group of devils.
There were explosions in the position, and enemies were attacking from the front. The Japanese soldiers responsible for escorting the train were angry, anxious, and even more panicked.
When the explosion started, their radio station went out. If they wanted to call for support, they could only rely on luck, hoping that the movement here would be seen by their companions in nearby strongholds.
There were also some Japanese soldiers who had faster legs and feet. They quickly ran to a safe place, hastily set up a position, and wanted to start a counterattack.
Da da da~
The muzzle of the Type 92 heavy machine gun sprayed out a dazzling line of fire.
The Japanese machine gunner lay on the ground, holding the machine gun with bared teeth, pressing the trigger hard, and sprayed dense bullets towards the position where Ding Wei and others were.
But wait for how long the machine gun roars.
A bullet directly penetrated his helmet, and the bullet whirled rapidly in his mind, mixing his brains together.
The roar of the machine gun suddenly stopped, and the Japanese machine gunner was killed on the spot.
Seeing this, the Japanese deputy shooter hurriedly pushed away his companion's body and took over the heavy machine gun.
This time he learned a lesson. Worried about being hit by bullets, he pulled over the body of his companion to use as a cover.
The Japanese soldier hid behind the corpse, thinking that the chance of being shot would be reduced, but he obviously thought too much.
This Japanese guy only wanted to defend himself against the attack in front of him, but he never thought that there would be someone attacking next to him.
The machine gun roared for only a few seconds before a bullet pierced his temple and took away his life.
The current battle is relatively simple. The task that Ding Wei and the others need to complete now is just to eliminate the Japanese who want to escape.
…
The violent explosion near the railway track can only be described as earth-shattering, not to mention the overwhelming incendiary bombs. It can only be said that it is impossible not to attract the attention of the Japanese.
The armored train was patrolling along the railway track with the cavalry. Suddenly, a Japanese cavalryman turned around and glanced back.
As a result, he saw a scene that he would never forget.
Thermite incendiary bombs all over the sky were slowly falling downwards after flying into the sky, and he happened to see this scene.
The firelight all over the sky looks like a galaxy in the sky, scattered around the world, and it is breathtakingly beautiful.
He subconsciously stopped his horse and looked at the sky in the distance.
"Hey, you guy, what on earth are you doing!" A Japanese lieutenant suddenly noticed that his subordinate was not keeping up with the large army and shouted dissatisfied.
Hearing the shouts from behind, the Japanese soldier came back to his senses, pointed into the distance and said: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant, look at that, what is that? It's so beautiful!"
It was like watching a fireworks display at the palace, but I didn’t expect that China would also have such a beautiful scene.”
Hearing this, the Japanese Lieutenant followed the direction of his finger and looked, and was immediately attracted by this beautiful scene.
He couldn't help but stop his horse and look at the sky in the distance.
At the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart, what on earth is this and why is it so beautiful?
As the Japanese lieutenant stopped, the Japanese cavalry squadron was also attracted. They all rode horses and came behind the lieutenant and looked into the distance.
They looked very interested, as if they really wanted to watch a fireworks display, but the next moment, they couldn't be happy anymore.
The continuous fires suddenly surprised the Japanese lieutenant. As more and more fires started to rise.
The Japanese lieutenant finally noticed something was wrong. This was clearly the fire caused by the explosion.
Especially when he realized that the fire was near the railroad tracks, the Japanese lieutenant could no longer sit still.
Behind him was a train transporting supplies. Someone must have ambushed him near the railway tracks.
"Quick, quick, go back, turn around!" the lieutenant shouted at the top of his lungs: "Quick, order the armored train to accelerate at full speed, turn back to support!"
Following the lieutenant's shout, the Japanese soldiers around him suddenly woke up from a dream, and they also realized that something was wrong.
There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and the Japanese cavalry rushed to the direction of the explosion to support them.
The Japanese Lieutenant kept slapping his horse and accelerating with all his strength. He didn't understand what kind of attack the train had suffered.
But the movement was so big that it must have been attacked by a large number of troops. The movement must have been at least a brigade of troops.
He simply couldn't figure out where the troops of this brigade came from, even though the railway tracks were patrolled very strictly.
However, this was really because he thought too much. The Japanese lieutenant probably could not have imagined that the troops ambushing beside the railway track were only one battalion.
The Japanese Lieutenant was so anxious that the horse's buttocks were about to draw blood. He did not stop at all, but pushed harder and harder.
Because he understood that the equipment of this train, let alone a horse, even the horses of the entire cavalry unit combined, were incomparable.
If there is anything wrong with the equipment of this train, even if it has ten heads, it will not be enough for General Okamura to chop off.
Because the armored train itself is very heavy, even if it accelerates, it actually doesn't go very fast.
The Japanese lieutenant on horseback suddenly thought of a question.
He stopped his horse in a hurry and slapped himself.
The reason is none other than my own stupidity.
The armored train obviously has a radio station, so we should first notify the surrounding strongholds and inform the commander to send troops for support!
The Japanese lieutenant hurriedly rode to the armored train and shouted into the firing hole: "Quick, send a message to the headquarters immediately and tell the commander your current location.
There are a large number of Chinese Army soldiers ambushing the Imperial Army's transport train beside the railway tracks!"
The Japanese soldier in the armored train hurriedly paused, then nodded to the Japanese soldier beside him, who immediately ran to the radio station in a hurry.
After doing all this, the Japanese Lieutenant accelerated his advance, thinking that he could delay this unit for a while and gain combat time for the subsequent support units.
…
Taiyuan, First Army Headquarters.
Rei Ishikawa, who was on duty that night, was taking a nap on a chair.
Suddenly I was woken up by a slightly panicked voice.
"Your Excellency, Colonel, Your Excellency," a Japanese Major said anxiously, "Something happened, Your Excellency, Colonel!"
Ishikawa Rei, who had just fallen asleep, pinched the bridge of his nose and said dissatisfied: "Baga, what's the matter, you need to wake me up in the middle of the night!"
"Your Majesty Colonel, look at the message sent from the armored train. The train responsible for transporting weapons seems to have been attacked by a large number of enemies!"
"Nani!"
Hearing this, Ishikawa Rei's tiredness was swept away.
He snatched the message from the soldier's hand, glanced at it briefly, and immediately felt a chill rushing from his tailbone to Tianling Gai.
Ishikawa Rei stood up from the chair in a hurry, and the tea cup on the table was knocked over, but he didn't care about it and hurried to Okamura Neji's bedroom.
Something happened, something big happened.
Ishikawa Rei's face was full of panic. This was a division's heavy firearms equipment, all of which were tanks and cannons.
If something goes wrong with this train, the consequences will be disastrous!
Even when Okamura Neji just fell asleep, Ishikawa Rei had to disturb him.
In order to better command the operation, Okamura Neiji has been living in the headquarters since he started preparing for the mopping up operation.
The purpose is to respond to various emergencies so that corresponding countermeasures can be made.
It was late at night, and Neji Okamura had just woken up. The early stages of the battle were his busiest time, in order to better deploy his troops.
Especially since heavy weapons are not yet in place on the battlefield, Okamura Neji actually doesn't have much thought about sleeping.
He didn't go to bed until he saw the train leaving the station safely and confirmed that everything was normal.
But if Okamura Neji wants to sleep peacefully tonight, he is just dreaming.
Okamura Neji was lying on the bed, with a smile on his lips and even a few laughs.
This guy was dreaming that he cut off Ding Wei's head with his own hands, and he was successfully promoted to marshal, and the emperor personally awarded him a medal.
Just when Okamura Neiji bent down, preparing to receive the medal from the emperor, and he was just one step away from hanging the medal around his neck, he was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
Okamura Neji suddenly became furious when his sweet dream was awakened.
He had been dreaming for decades, and it was the first time he dreamed about the emperor conferring honors, and he was woken up like this. It would be strange if Okamura Neji was not angry.
I just want to be awarded a medal and be promoted to marshal. I can't even dream about it?
"Baga, what on earth needs to wake me up in the middle of the night!" Neji Okamura sat on the edge of the bed and scolded.
He had already made up his mind that if it wasn't something important, he would give this guy a lesson for disturbing his sweet dream.
"Your Majesty, General, urgent call for the armored train!" Ishikawa Rei said urgently.
"Nani!"
Upon hearing this location, Okamura Neji's expression suddenly changed. He quickly stood up from the bed, simply put on a military uniform, and said: "Come in!"
At this moment, Okamura Neji was too late to teach him a lesson, and Ishikawa Rei interrupted his dream of being promoted to general.
Real railway trains are more important than his dreams.
Ishikawa Rei hurriedly opened the door: "General, something has happened. An urgent report has been sent from the armored train. The train transporting weapons is suspected to have been attacked by a large number of enemies!"
With that said, Ishikawa Rei respectfully handed the telegram to Okamura Neji.
Okamura Neiji hurriedly received the telegram, but he was much calmer now. Instead, he asked first: "Have you confirmed the authenticity?"
At present, there is a powerful enemy, and there may be some boring guy who comes up with this kind of false message to disturb the morale of the army.
"Not yet!" Ishikawa Rei paused and said: "After I got this news, I was worried that it would delay the fight, so I came to report to you immediately!"
"Idiot!" Okamura Neiji said angrily: "Immediately send a message to the armored train and ask them what is going on!
A brigade of troops, how is this possible? A brigade of troops swaggered through the imperial defense line and came to the railway track. Are all the imperial troops in the stronghold just useless?"
Ishikawa Rei hurriedly paused, responded, and ran down quickly.
Okamura Neiji was a little irritable. This time he was awakened from his sweet dream. He didn't know how long it would be before he could dream again next time.
But since he was awake and it was about the railway tracks, Okamura Neji was not in the mood to go to sleep until he was sure that everything was safe.
Okamura Neiji put on his military uniform and walked quickly to the Special Higher Education Office.
At this moment, Ishikawa Rei's expression was a little solemn.
"Ishikawa, what happened!" Okamura Neji asked.
Seeing Okamura Neiji approaching, Ishikawa Rei immediately stood up and said: "Reporting to Colonel, we have contacted Armored Train many times.
But Armored Train has not received any call back so far.”
"Nani, what are you talking about? They didn't call back?" Neji Okamura said in surprise.
"Hai!" Ishikawa Rei replied.
Okamura Neji frowned. The armored train should be patrolling non-stop at this time.
Give them a hundred courages and don't dare to be lazy and sleep at this time if they don't call back.
Even if you are lazy, it is impossible for everyone to sleep.
Things have only one outcome now...
The armored train has most likely been attacked by the enemy, and it was a very large attack.
Because the armored train is covered with iron armor, ordinary attacks, even small-caliber cannons, are difficult to damage it.
The imperial army hiding inside can send messages for help calmly.
But they couldn't even send a message. What kind of attack did they suffer?
Is it possible that a brigade of troops attacked their railway?
"idiot!"
Okamura Neiji cursed and immediately ordered: "Ishikawa, you immediately give the order and order all the imperial troops in nearby strongholds to go over and support."
"Hai!" Rei Ishikawa immediately stood up and started making arrangements.
After looking around for a week, Okamura Neji found that there was a missing figure, and asked in a dissatisfied tone: "What is that idiot Yoshio Shinozuka doing? Why isn't he here?"
