"Reporting to Your Excellency, General, Lieutenant General Shinozuka seems to be still sleeping..." A Japanese man in the office replied in a low voice.
"sleep?"
Okamura Neji's anger rose instantly.
"Asshole, what time is it, and he's still sleeping!" Neji Okamura said angrily: "Go and wake him up immediately, and order all military officers above the rank of major to get up and prepare for war!"
"Hai!" The Japanese soldier stood up quickly, nodded, and ran down quickly.
sleep?
My sweet dreams have been awakened, why are you still sleeping!
Okamura Neiji sat on the chair, breathing heavily, and ordered without turning his head: "Continue to send messages to the armored train until they reply!"
"Hai!" The Japanese soldier behind him hurriedly stood up and nodded.
However, Iron Armored Train will not be able to reply to the message this time, and Okamura Neiji will never receive a reply message from them in his life!
The battle near the railway tracks has now come to an end.
As the sound of the explosion gradually subsided, Ding Wei also led his troops to rush forward. The remaining Japanese soldiers were just some defeated soldiers.
The explosion of the shells alone helped Ding Wei clear out many Japanese soldiers. The soldiers were cleaning up the remaining Japanese soldiers and replenishing their guns to prevent any fish from slipping through the net.
now.
A railway track on the railway was blown to an unknown location, and the ground was full of craters.
The stones that were supposed to be lying in the rails were now scattered everywhere, and the wooden sleepers were blown to pieces.
It was obvious that this section of railway track was destroyed.
Japanese tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery were also scattered everywhere, but they must have all been scrapped by this time.
Almost all the tanks were burning fiercely on the ground because of the incendiary bombs. Even if they were not burned, the bodies were deformed and the cannons were knocked crooked.
The Type 92 infantry guns and howitzers were either burned or thrown out of shape.
"Hahaha, captain, look, these are all Japanese equipment!" Lu Fang looked around in the light of the fire and said excitedly.
Looking at the messy battlefield, Ding Wei became even more convinced that they were ambushing a Japanese transport train.
Such a large number of baggage weapons is enough to make a little devil feel distressed. Looking at the amount of damaged equipment around, there must be at least a division's equipment.
Ding Wei smiled from ear to ear, this battle was a huge profit!
He had indeed made a lot of money. This train had more than twenty tanks and the weapons and equipment of an artillery regiment.
In addition, there are 80% of the equipment, weapons and artillery shells of the Third Army Regiment. Ding Wei spent all of them here on this trip.
But the price he paid was only more than 13 wounded and 2 killed in the 2nd Battalion, in exchange for such a huge report.
Among them, the injured soldier accidentally fell because he rushed too hard. The two soldiers who died were unlucky and were killed by stray bullets from the Japanese.
This is all thanks to the heavy rain, otherwise the Japanese would definitely not save trouble and choose to transport everything by train.
Thermite incendiary bombs are indeed a good thing!
This equipment was made in a hurry. Ding Wei originally thought that it would not be able to exert its full power, but he did not expect that he would be so lucky.
Ding Wei has already made a plan in his heart. When he has nothing to do, he will study it carefully and strive for leanness to the end.
With such a shocking battle loss ratio, this weapon must be promoted and polished seriously by the soldiers at the ordnance station.
This thing is more lethal than artillery shells, has a wider range of damage, and has a better profit ratio.
The only bad thing is.
This thing can be burned without distinguishing between friend and foe, and when it is burned like this, there is almost nothing left to clean up on the battlefield.
Just like this is the case now.
"Captain, our equipment is good, but it burns too damn hard!" Lu Fang said helplessly.
"I just took a look around, and there's not much equipment left here. The Japanese tanks were all burned into scrap metal, and the cannons are gone too!"
"Nonsense, otherwise, can it be called an incendiary bomb?" Ding Wei laughed and scolded: "Burn it, burn it, we can't take it away anyway.
As long as the Japs cannot be used on the battlefield, we will have achieved a great victory!"
When Lu Fang heard this, he nodded in agreement.
As they were talking, a soldier came over to report: "Captain, the Japanese armored train and the cavalry are back to support us!"
Lu Fang's expression changed, but Ding Wei was very calm.
He had expected this a long time ago. The movement was so loud this time that the devils couldn't detect it.
Ding Wei calmed down and immediately ordered everyone to evacuate the battlefield.
"Captain, there are Japanese cavalry on the other side, why don't we kill them?" Lu Fang said excitedly.
Ding Wei shook his head and said: "The Japs will definitely send heavy troops to search now. Since our goal has been achieved, we must not continue to waste time here!"
After a pause, Ding Wei said again: "Hurry up and retreat, don't clean up the battlefield, quick evacuation is the last word!
Before leaving, look at the tanks that are not on fire, take the grenades I gave you, and just hit them at them.
But if you smash it, don’t hurt yourself!"
Ding Wei finally warned that the power of the incendiary bomb was no joke after all. The incendiary bomb modified by him would be difficult to extinguish even if it touches people.
"yes!"
Lu Fang didn't waste any time. He responded and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Everyone is preparing to retreat. Throw out all the incendiary grenades before leaving!"
"yes!"
The soldiers responded, and those who got the incendiary grenades threw the grenades onto the tank. With a muffled sound, the flames quickly spread across the vehicle body.
Several more fireballs suddenly appeared on the battlefield.
After doing everything well, Ding Wei immediately led his troops to evacuate here.
…
The armored train and the Japanese cavalry were moving faster and faster, and they could already clearly see the light of fire and the dense sound of gunfire.
When the Lieutenant of the Japanese Cavalry saw this, his heart skipped a beat. The train was really being attacked, and he couldn't help but speed up.
The Japanese soldiers in the armored train squadron were even more chilled when they saw this.
The armored train was traveling at full speed, faster than he had ever traveled on this railway track.
"Quick, reload, reload, get ready for battle!"
A shrill cry rang out from the armored train.
The Japanese ammunition hand immediately held a cannon shell and stuffed it into the barrel of the gun. The Japanese gunner adjusted the barrel of the gun through the mirror, looking like he was ready for battle.
It's a pity that this would be fine in normal times, but the current railway tracks have a very fatal problem.
Thermite incendiary bombs had a wide range, and several incendiary bombs fell on the rails, leaving incomplete parts of the burned rails.
But the Japanese soldiers in the armored train didn't know this. They just wanted to march quickly and then blast the enemy to pieces.
They didn't notice the problem with the rails.
But the Japanese lieutenant who was marching beside the railway track was shocked when he saw the burning railway track and the burned pits.
"Stop, stop quickly!" the Japanese lieutenant shouted urgently.
But by this time it was too late.
When the wheels of a fast-moving armored train encountered a gap in the rails, it could no longer control it.
The armored train was actually thrown away completely. No one expected that an armored train could withstand the explosion.
It actually fell off the track and was falling to the ground and sliding rapidly.
The derailed armored train knocked over several cavalrymen who were riding nearby. No one thought that this would happen.
The Japanese cavalryman who was hit died on the spot. After the horse let out a mournful cry, it immediately fell to the ground.
The Japanese soldiers in the armor were not in a good place at the moment.
After receiving the radio signal, they were about to respond when they suddenly rolled over.
This was something they had never encountered before during their many years of patrolling. The Japanese soldiers in the armored train were unexpectedly thrown to pieces.
Because almost the entire armored train is made of steel, the life of the Japanese soldiers inside will definitely not be easy.
The armored train slid along the ground until it hit the mountain wall and then suddenly stopped. Moreover, the gun barrel on the train had been severely deformed.
There was even a long bloodstain on the ground, and there was some red and white flesh foam on it. These were the Japanese cavalry who were unable to dodge and were crushed into pulp.
The Japanese Lieutenant was stunned when he saw that the armored train derailed so easily.
This was a big killer on the railway track, but it disappeared like this. Such a dramatic result made the lieutenant unable to accept it.
But the fact is that, even if he can't accept it, there is nothing he can do.
The situation is urgent and there is no time to remember these things now.
The Japanese Lieutenant immediately continued to advance with the remaining cavalry, but missed the opportunity.
The uneven ground caused the Japanese lieutenant's horse to miss the ground, causing both the man and the horse to fall to the ground.
Not only them, almost all the Japanese cavalry following him fell to the ground.
For a time, the screams of the Japanese cavalry sounded one after another, accompanied by the mournful screams of the war horses.
These horses were running so fast, and the Japanese cavalry were beating them very hard in order to move forward. They would have lost their strength early on, and in the end they would never be able to stand up again.
The Japanese cavalry fell to pieces. When they got up from the ground, they finally saw the surrounding battlefield clearly through the light of the fire.
Their breathing also became rapid in an instant.
The entire battlefield can only be described as hot. Yes, it is hot. The temperature of the incendiary bombs has raised the temperature of this place a lot.
This battlefield looked like it had been heavily bombed by bombers. There were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere, and large and small craters were dotted here and there.
There were several charred corpses among them. They were lying on the ground, grabbing with all their strength, not knowing what they were trying to catch.
There are several large fireballs on the battlefield, which are obviously their tanks.
Not only that, there was a long section of railway track that had been blown away to an unknown location, and trains transporting supplies were lying on the ground in a mess.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese cavalry lieutenant's heart suddenly twitched twice.
The entire battlefield was filled with an unpleasant smell.
Ignoring the pain in his body, he looked around hurriedly, trying to find any trace of the enemy, but the lieutenant saw nothing.
Where did the people who attacked the train go?
In order to prevent interception of this attacking force, they had speeded up, but they still failed to intercept it...
It's okay if the person disappears, but how do they do this?
joke.
What kind of army did this to destroy the Imperial Army's transport train in such a short period of time!
You know, when they were patrolling, they carefully checked many times to prevent someone from planting bombs on the railway tracks.
How did this force do it?
The Japanese lieutenant suddenly remembered the breathtaking beauty he saw in the night sky before his arrival.
It seems that after the night scene like shooting stars, I saw the fire shooting into the sky.
The horses were exhausted by now. Even if the Japanese Lieutenant wanted to send cavalry to pursue them, he had no choice but to give up and try to find some survivors.
It's a pity that there are no survivors on this battlefield, not even a complete weapon and equipment left.
Their chariots were either turned into scrap metal or burning, and not even one of them was left intact on the battlefield.
Almost all the cannons and supplies transported along with the vehicles were lost.
The enemy could not pursue him, and the supplies were not saved. The Japanese lieutenant sat on the ground in despair.
Several Japanese cavalrymen took off their coats and formed groups of twos and threes, beating the flames on the chariot.
Looking at them, it seemed that they wanted to save a few tanks, but unfortunately they underestimated the flames.
As soon as the clothes touched the flames, they were immediately stained with the clothes, and the flames quickly spread towards their hands as if they were alive.
"Nani!"
When these Japanese soldiers saw this, they hurriedly threw away the clothes in their hands. The quick-moving Japanese soldiers saved their lives.
Looking at the clothes in his hands, which were burned to pieces in a short time, a flash of fear suddenly flashed in his eyes.
The slow-moving Japs were not so lucky. The flames touched their bodies and burned quickly, causing the Japs soldiers to jump on the spot in pain.
These guys subconsciously slapped themselves, but instead of extinguishing the flames, they burned everywhere on their bodies.
With the flames of combustible materials, they immediately burned. In just a few breaths, these unlucky people were turned into burning people.
The companions around him were all dumbfounded. They subconsciously wanted to go up and help, but when they thought of the terrifying scene before, they all stopped in place.
A series of shrill screams sounded one after another, and the severe pain caused them to roll on the ground with their hands stretched upward.
He kept asking for help, but no one was willing to come to help.
Probably only they know how painful the burning is.
The Japanese lieutenant finally understood what happened to those scorched corpses.
After a short time, these Japanese soldiers turned into charred corpses, with a ferocious look of death, and their hands stretched high.
With these charred corpses as a warning, the rest of the Japanese soldiers dared not approach these flames again, for fear of affecting themselves.
After a while, the follow-up support troops also arrived. Looking at the messy battlefield, their thoughts were not much different from those of the cavalry.
The supporting troops brought radio stations, and the situation here was quickly reported to the headquarters.
At the First Army Headquarters.
Yoshio Shinozuka stood next to Okamura Neji with his head lowered, and there were several clear slap marks on his face.
Okamura Neji sat on a chair with a gloomy face.
Rei Ishikawa walked quickly to Neji Okamura with a telegram in his hand. Seeing his solemn look, the latter's heart sank.
This is not an easy recruitment, and the fact is exactly what Neji Okamura thought.
"General, something happened!" Ishikawa Rei took a deep breath and handed the message to Okamura Neji.
Okamura Neiji took the telegram, his mouth twitched twice, and then he suddenly let out a strange cry and tore the telegram into pieces.
"Baga, Baga!" Neji Okamura said angrily: "These damn China soldiers, I must wipe them all out!"
