This is a reed marsh. Although the place is called Tugou, it is actually a vast pond.
The bright moonlight shines on the pond, the breeze blows, the reeds sway, and the pond ripples.
Two figures suddenly emerged from a patch of reeds.
Zhou Weiguo was in front, Ding Wei was behind, and they were walking through the reeds with their waists bent.
"Gu Gu Gu Gu~"
Zhou Weiguo pushed aside the reeds and looked around, making strange notes from his mouth.
Ding Wei knew that this was the communication signal between them.
No wonder the railway guerrillas were so elusive. Just those number 100 people were hiding in such a patch of reeds. Even if the little devil wanted to search, it would take a while.
After walking some distance into the reed marsh, Ding Wei suddenly heard another different voice.
Hearing this voice, Zhou Weiguo felt happy, the notes in his mouth became more rapid, and the other party's responses became more frequent.
"It's right here." Zhou Weiguo pointed to the reed swamp in front of him and quickly walked in.
Ding Wei followed closely behind.
After entering, I discovered that the reeds here had been pressed to the ground, forming a space about 5 meters in diameter.
There were several soldiers standing on the periphery, holding rifles in their hands, alert to the movement outside. In the center stood two men of about 30 years old.
"Captain Ding, this is Liu Jinhai, captain of the guerrillas, Captain Liu." Zhou Weiguo extended his hand and introduced: "This is Du Hong, political commissar of the guerrillas."
With that said, Zhou Weiguo looked at Ding Wei again and said: "Captain Liu, Political Commissar Du, this is the temporary captain of Task Force 28, Ding Wei!"
"Captain Ding!" Liu Jinhai and Du Hong stepped forward and saluted.
"I've heard about the name of the guerrillas for a long time, but when I saw them today, they are indeed well-deserved." Ding Wei took a step forward and returned the greeting politely.
Immediately, the three people's hands were clasped together.
"Without further ado, let's stop talking. Let's think about how we should fight next." Ding Wei said seriously.
"The little devil robbed our treasure and even wanted to transport it back. It's just a dream!"
"Captain Ding is right. Since you let us know, we will never fulfill the little devil's wish!" Du Hong said in a shocked voice.
Liu Jinhai stretched out his hand and said: "Captain Ding, please come this way."
There was an open map on the ground. Several people sat cross-legged around the map. Someone had already drawn a few circles on the map with a pencil. It seemed that they were thinking of a solution.
Under the bright moonlight, even without the help of a kerosene lamp, the details on the map are still clearly visible.
"Captain Ding, Captain Zhou, look, this is the railway line we selected!" Du Hong picked up a pencil and clicked on the map.
Ding Wei took a quick look and saw that the route chosen by Du Hong and others was a section of railway between Qingdao and Lincheng.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the map and nodded in agreement.
Ding Wei shook his head and said, "No."
"What's wrong?" Liu Jinhai asked: "Captain Ding, to be blunt, we rely on the railway for food, and we don't know how much supplies we have stolen from the enemy.
Most of the fighters in the guerrilla group are railway workers and miners, and they are familiar with this place.
We carefully selected the section of road we chose this time. This is the longest section of road. After the fight, we can immediately retreat on horseback, and the little devils can’t even catch up with us.”
"It's not that the place isn't good, it's that the method isn't good," Ding Wei explained.
"The method doesn't work?"
Liu Jinhai and Du Hong looked at each other and looked at Ding Wei with strange expressions.
Zhou Weiguo also looked confused: "What's wrong with this method? According to the intelligence from our independent group, the little devils don't know that we have discovered the conspiracy of the Jiaoji Railway.
They will deploy their troops there now, waiting for us to take the bait."
"Have you forgotten that our mission this time is not an ordinary material supply?" Ding Wei said with a smile.
"Captain Liu, if I guess correctly, you probably want to cooperate inside and outside while the train is moving, just like before, right?" Ding Wei asked.
"How do you know?" Liu Jinhai asked.
"You just said that most of the guerrilla fighters are miners and railway workers." Ding Wei said: "So under normal circumstances, they will set off with the train.
With internal support, the battle will be more convenient and will definitely go much smoother, and railway workers know railways and trains best."
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "According to your usual habits, you should know about the supplies in the train through internal response.
Then halfway through, you should climb on the train from the inside and take down all the supplies on the train, right? Then the soldiers on the side of the railway can collect the supplies."
"Captain Ding is indeed extraordinary." Du Hong said with a smile: "But what's the problem with the method you just mentioned?"
"This is a civilian train. It does not have a carriage like a transport train. In order not to attract your attention, they must be all placed inside the train." Ding Wei said.
"Think about it, if you follow the previous fighting methods, you can only do it if you enter the carriage."
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "Let's talk about your other way of fighting, blowing up the railway and overturning the train. The cars are full of antiques and antiques, and even if you open them, there are some fragile items.
Do you think that if we continue with the previous combat methods, the antiques in the car will still be intact after the battle?"
Liu Jinhai and Du Hong looked at each other, patted their heads, and felt frightened.
They were used to robbing Japanese supplies, and they only came into contact with transport trains, and they had never come into contact with civilian trains.
"Brother Ding, since you opened your mouth, you must have a solution, right?" Zhou Weiguo asked in a new direction.
"I wonder what Captain Ding has to say?" Liu Jinhai asked.
Ding Wei smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple."
With that said, Ding Wei pointed to the map and said: "Let's ambush here instead!"
here?
The three of them all looked at the map.
The place Ding Wei chose was only a few hundred meters away from them.
When Liu Jinhai and Du Hong saw this place, their eyes lit up.
They remembered that this section of the railway was surrounded by dense reeds on both sides, which was very suitable for hiding and ambush.
"Once the train stops, we can rush up directly and capture the train as quickly as possible without giving the Japanese time to react!" Ding Wei said solemnly.
"Brother Zhou, how many civilian trains are there?" Ding Wei asked.
"Five festivals." Zhou Weiguo said without thinking.
Ding Wei smiled and said: "It's just five trains. I think it's not difficult for you at all, right?"
"Yes, it is indeed very simple." Liu Jinhai said solemnly.
"The plan is actually very simple." Ding Wei said with a smile: "We can cut off the railway in front of the ambush point and force the little devil to stop the train."
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "Then after they drive past, we will destroy the railway behind them. Even if the little devil finds that something is wrong and wants to go back the same way, there will be no way.
There is no support in this area. Once they are trapped here, they will be in trouble every day and the earth will not work.
The little devils in charge of transportation would never have imagined that we had already seen through their treacherous plot and would attack an inconspicuous civilian train!
As soon as the train stops, we will attack them immediately, strive to resolve the battle in the shortest possible time, and then evacuate quickly without wasting any time.
Even if they reacted halfway, we would have fled long ago, and the little devil would only see the empty carriage."
Liu Jinhai and Du Hong thought carefully for a while and realized that this move was indeed much more reliable than destroying the railway.
"In that case, then we will follow Captain Ding's arrangements!" Liu Jinhai said.
Ding Wei smiled and said: "If there is no objection, we will start taking action tonight. Don't waste time. If you are the first to ambush, you will have a better chance of winning!"
Everyone nodded in unison.
After a pause, Ding Wei continued: "Brother Zhou, there is one more thing I need to trouble you with."
"Whatever it is, just say it!" Zhou Weiguo said.
"We still need you to perform a show on the Jiaoji Railway." Ding Wei said in a deep voice.
"Acting?" Zhou Weiguo was puzzled.
Ding Weidao: "Yes, it's just acting. I thought about it again. If we didn't attack the trains on the Jiaoji Railway, the enemy might be suspicious.
The little devils are cunning and treacherous, and transporting cultural relics is not a glorious thing for them.
If they worry about something going wrong and cancel the transportation plan, we will lose more than we gain.
You don't need to do anything else, just send a platoon of soldiers to fire a few shots at the railway from a safe location.
Make the noise as loud as possible. Just let the Japanese know that you are shooting there and that you are coming towards their train.
In the end, because we were defeated, we had no choice but to evacuate.”
"No problem!" Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment and understood what Ding Wei meant.
After the mission was assigned, several people no longer thought about it. Zhou Weiguo returned to Hutou Mountain, while Ding Wei did not go back for convenience and stayed with the guerrillas.
…
Time flew by and it soon came to two days later.
At this moment, there is only half an hour left before the scheduled driving time.
Naoto Noda and Shinzo Fukuda were sitting in the carriage chatting.
The two of them had already changed into casual clothes. Apart from them, the carriage was almost full.
These guys are all Japanese soldiers in civilian clothes.
Although they were not wearing military uniforms, they could not change their wretched temperament.
Next to each seat, there are boxes of various sizes.
"Noda-kun, I suddenly have a bad feeling." Shinzo Fukuda looked worried and said in a deep voice.
"I don't know why, but I always feel like there's a stone in my heart, as if our trip will be our last. I haven't had this weird feeling in a long time."
"Fukuda-kun, you are worrying too much, what's the problem?" Naoto Noda said with a relaxed look: "Tubal Road indeed launched an attack on us in the morning, but they were driven away by us.
The transportation in the afternoon will definitely be very safe, Mr. Futian, I think you are under too much pressure and haven't had a good rest, so that's why you feel this way."
"I hope so." Shinzo Fukuda said solemnly.
He carefully recalled all the details of today, always feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't place it vaguely.
After thinking for a long time, Fukuda Shinzo couldn't think of anything and shook his head irritably.
Seeing this, Naoto Noda smiled and said: "Fukuda-kun, you are too nervous. After this mission is over, I will take you to the best restaurant in the city to taste the local food.
By the way, I will get you a few more beautiful flower girls to help you relax and relieve your stress. Maybe there are too many things going on recently and you can't find relief in your heart."
Shinzo Fukuda forced out a smile and said, "In that case, I would like to thank Noda-kun in advance."
After a pause, Shinzo Fukuda asked again: "Have the equipment been checked? Are there any omissions?"
"Don't worry Fukuda-kun, everything is fine, we just need to wait for the train to leave." Naoto Noda comforted him.
"Where are the toys? Have all the toys been loaded into the car?" Shinzo Fukuda asked again.
"Fukuda-kun, this is the fifth time you have asked this question." Naoto Noda said: "All the toys have been loaded into the car. I have personally checked them and there are no problems."
"That's good, that's good." Shinzo Fukuda said repeatedly.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke again: "Noda-kun, have you checked the equipment? Are there any omissions?"
"..." Naoto Noda.
As a piercing whistle sounded, the train made a whine, the wheels slowly turned, and the scenery on both sides quickly stretched back.
"Fukuda-kun, look, the train has been running smoothly." Naoto Noda raised his hand and looked at his watch and said with a smile: "In a few hours, we will arrive at our destination."
"I hope so."
Shinzo Fukuda thought for a while and shouted in a deep voice: "Pass on my order, everyone should brace themselves and never let down their guard!"
"Hai!" All the Japanese soldiers in the carriage nodded in unison.
"Fukuda-kun, you are too nervous." Naoto Noda comforted him: "Tuba Road has already attacked us in the morning, how could you have thought that we would transport it again in the afternoon."
"This time, the commander of the Dobashi Corps personally requested the request, so there can be no mistakes." Shinzo Fukuda said solemnly.
Hearing this, Naoto Noda couldn't say anything else, so he could only let Shinzo Fukuda toss him around. Maybe after the train started, and he looked at the beautiful scenery outside, his mood would get better.
…
Ambush location.
"Brother Ding, we have done as you said." Zhou Weiguo said: "We pretended to be defeated, retreated hastily, and even left behind a few broken guns. I guess the Japanese have been fooled."
"Captain Ding, everything is ready, now we are waiting for the little devil to get into our trap!" Liu Jinhai said.
Du Hong said: "The front section of the railway has been cut off. Now we just wait for the little devil's train to arrive, and then we will cut off their retreat."
The news keeps coming.
"good!"
Ding Wei said: "Everyone is in position. From now on, if you don't see the enemy or show your head, even if you want to poop, you have to do it in my crotch!"
Hearing this, the guerrilla fighters burst out laughing and immediately took their positions and ambush at their respective ambush locations.
Not long after.
A whistle sounded in the distance, thick smoke continued to pour out of the chimney, and the front of the train gradually appeared in the sight of the guerrillas.
"Here it comes!" Liu Jinhai said in a deep voice, and couldn't help but touch his waist with his hands.
The soldiers also clenched their guns one after another, waiting for Ding Wei to give the order.
In the train.
"Fukuda-kun, I told you that it was very safe. We encountered no danger along the way." Naoto Noda said with a smile: "I believe that in a few hours, we will be able to successfully complete the mission."
The expression on Shinzo Fukuda's face gradually softened, and he smiled: "Maybe I really thought too much."
