"What did you say? There was an explosion at the Japanese warehouse in Qingtian County?" The brigade commander frowned slightly, turned around and asked, "Who did it?"
I just took a look at the map, and there are indeed several base areas in the surrounding area.
But they have already determined that the explosion in Qingtian County has nothing to do with them, and it is the work of an ownerless person.
"We don't know yet." The brigade chief of staff shook his head: "The comrades in Qingtian County thought it was an order from the brigade headquarters, and they were still wondering in the city.
How could the brigade headquarters suddenly issue an order to attack the county seat? It is completely inconsistent with common sense."
"It's strange, we haven't issued such an order recently." The brigade commander scratched his head.
"Could it be the national army?" the brigade chief of staff asked tentatively.
"Impossible. If it were really them, everyone would have known about it long ago." The brigade commander curled his lips.
The brigade chief of staff heard this and nodded in agreement.
The brigade commander frowned and stared at the situation map in front of him.
There have been frequent wars in the Jizhou area recently, and the situation has become increasingly chaotic. The brigade commander is only an afterthought to many things.
Until now.
The brigade commander finally figured out why the little devils attacked the bandits. The reason seemed to be that one of their security forces was attacked by bandits.
result.
After various twists and turns, the two sides ended up in a mess.
The little devils used all their strength to deal with the bandits, giving the Eighth Route Army a lot of time to develop.
But the initiator of this incident, 'Juyingzhai', disappeared without a trace.
The brigade commander was keenly aware that this matter had absolutely nothing to do with the bandits, but he couldn't figure it out.
As a result, before the impact of this incident was over, a Japanese mine was attacked, and then a Japanese warehouse was bombed.
"Pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese around you. They will never give up if their warehouse is bombed," the brigade commander said.
"The Japanese have been very honest recently, probably because of the lack of supplies. They are just conducting searches," said the brigade chief of staff.
"It's probably because their logistics are insufficient, so these little devils didn't dare to make too much noise."
The brigade commander reached out and pointed at the location of Qingtian County: "If the little devil's supply warehouse is bombed, we will definitely replenish it as soon as possible."
"Brigade commander, what do you mean..." the brigade chief of staff asked tentatively: "Intercept the Japanese train halfway?"
"Hmph! Take advantage of his illness and kill him!" the brigade commander stared at Qingtian County and said in a deep voice.
"Send scouts out immediately and ask them to keep an eye on the Japanese station and report back as soon as a train comes out!
Since the little devils are unable to mop up the enemy, we will give them another fire!"
…
Two days passed quickly.
After two days of training, the veterans quickly regained their touch.
after all.
They are a group of veterans. As long as they are willing to feed bullets, they can regain their touch quickly.
The marksmanship of the militiamen also improved rapidly.
Although it is impossible to hit 100% of the time, at least it can participate in a regular battle instead of killing people on the battlefield.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
The scouts sent by Ding Wei finally returned to Wangzhuang with information.
The Jaap Station has been mobilizing supplies in the past two days and loading all the supplies on the train. It seems that the Jaap will start transporting supplies soon.
The Japanese around here have been very quiet these past two days. After being furious for a while, they retreated to Qingtian County again.
The 28th Regiment was not encircled and suppressed by the Japanese.
Regarding this.
Ding Wei was not surprised. After all, they had blown up the Japs' arsenal before, and the Japs did not have enough supplies in a short period of time.
What's more.
Wangzhuang is dozens of kilometers away from Qingtian County. Even if a kid wants to conduct reconnaissance, it will take time to reach here.
After learning that the supplies at the Jaap station had been loaded onto the truck, Ding Wei did not hesitate and immediately started preparing to snatch the supplies.
After knowing that Ding Weiran and the others were going to rob the Japanese train, the villagers spontaneously lent their mules and carriages to Ding Wei.
During the time the 28th Regiment was in Wangzhuang, it perfectly interpreted the words "People's Soldiers".
In addition to training, the soldiers almost always help some elderly people with limited mobility in Wangzhuang.
From carrying water to repairing houses and tiles, every soldier of the 28th Regiment tried their best to help the villagers of Wangzhuang.
Through the long-term relationship, the reputation of the 28th Regiment in Wangzhuang has grown. It is precisely because of the dedication of the soldiers of the 28th Regiment that the villagers generously donated their mules and carriages.
Feeling the enthusiasm of the villagers, Ding Wei was also very generous.
He made it clear to the villagers that if the mule and carriage were damaged during the journey, they would pay 50 yuan in compensation.
If the supplies arrive at Wangzhuang successfully, the villagers will also receive food according to the situation.
A total of 20 mules and carriages were collected in Wangzhuang, and even including the 28th Regiment, there were only 30 mules and carriages.
But for a whole train of supplies, these 30 mules and carriages were far from enough. Since we decided to rob, we must rob as many as we could.
If I had known better, I would have left a few trucks behind.
Ding Wei couldn't help but think that in this situation, he could transport more supplies, but it was still better than nothing.
Too many mules and carriages would always attract the attention of the Japanese, so Ding Wei also gave up the idea of borrowing mules and carriages from other villages.
30 mules and carriages can pull more than 30 tons of supplies at most. If they can't be pulled away, they will be burned down, and not even a grain of rice will be left to the little devil!
Make arrangements for the mule and carriage.
Ding Wei immediately began to prepare for the attack.
The first step must be to plant bombs on the train track, destroy the railway, and force the train to stop.
The next step is how to block enemy support.
There are many strongholds around the railway line. Once there is a problem with the railway, the enemy will inevitably come to encircle and suppress it.
Ding Wei frowned.
In the end, the ambush location was chosen on a section of railway 30 kilometers away from Wangzhuang.
Judging from the map, there is a plain on the right side of the railway, and a mountainous area on the left. After grabbing the train, they can immediately get into the mountains.
Moreover, it is completely uninhabited and there are no villages nearby.
For the nearest stronghold, even if everything went well, it would still take half an hour for the Japanese soldiers to come to support as quickly as possible.
As for the other strongholds, not to mention, they all start within an hour.
The several strongholds around the railway have one thing in common. Although they are located everywhere, there is only one route for them to come.
The highway will pass by the hilltop next to Zhaojiapo.
That's a good place to block an attack. If the firepower is sufficient, it only takes more than a hundred people to block the enemy for at least a few hours.
And once and for all, enemies coming from several directions can be blocked from one place.
certainly.
If the enemy had to choose to take a detour, it would not be impossible. If they took a circuitous route through another mountain road, they would have to spend at least several times the time.
For the Japanese soldiers who were anxious for support, they obviously would not choose such a bad strategy.
