Chapter 501 General Hui is almost arriving in Baoding!
Three days later.
Just when Li Yunlong was busy preparing to bombard Taiyuan Airport.
Duan Peng has led two combat teams to arrive near Baoding.
According to intelligence, Miyano Michichi will take a heavy armored train to Baoding tomorrow morning.
"Baoding is ahead."
In a dense forest, Duan Peng looked at the map, then used a telescope to look at the city wall 5 kilometers away and said.
Wang Gensheng said: "This Baoding is still an important military town, but there are so few bunkers and gun towers outside the city?"
Wang Xikui also said: "Not only are there few gun towers and bunkers, but there are also few patrols."
Duan Peng nodded: "The security here is indeed relatively lax."
Duan Peng had been to Baoding once before. He and Li Changshun took several team members to carry out the task of blowing up the Japanese troops transporting combat supplies.
But this is an important military town, and there are very few main forces of the Eighth Route Army operating nearby. At most, they are some guerrillas, which do not pose the slightest threat to Baoding.
There was a faint sound of dogs barking, and after a while a group of Japanese soldiers appeared in the distance.
There are no barbed wire fences on both sides of the railway here, and no trenches are dug, but the roadbed is higher than the ground.
There are also bunkers and gun towers on both sides of the railway here.
But there are another 7 carriages, each carriage is equipped with a 7.7mm machine gun, and even the mortar carriage is equipped with a 105mm howitzer.
In fact, since 2,000 tons of combat supplies were blown up at Baoding Station, the Japanese have indeed stepped up their vigilance for a period of time.
"The Japanese patrol is coming!"
Duan Peng's expression was solemn: "The terrain will not affect our ability to blow up Miyano Michichi, the old devil, but the surrounding area is flat ground. I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape by detonating the bomb."
The bad news is that the Japanese patrols have military dogs. Although not every patrol has military dogs, the presence of military dogs means that the Japanese cannot bury explosives under the railway tracks.
Duan Peng suddenly changed his expression and whispered in a low voice. Upon hearing this, Wang Xikui quickly lowered his body.
The heavy armored vehicle railway made a squeaking sound on the rails. Miyano Michichi sat on the leather sofa in the command car with his legs crossed, his expression relaxed.
Duan Peng took out the map, narrowed his eyes, pointed at the map and said: "According to the information provided by Boss Chen, this old devil Miyano will take an armored train from Peking to Baoding Station tomorrow morning. Let's do it on the railway. After we succeed,
Immediately ride military horses to Langya Mountain in the northwest."
However, there is still a part of the Eighth Route Army surrounded by Japanese troops, and Okamura Neji's highlight, the Iron Gun raid, is about to begin.
Explosive packs are extremely powerful weapons and were used by our army to blow up bunkers during the Red Army period.
Duan Peng chose the second way to escape. As long as they successfully entered the mountain, the little devils would have nothing to do with them.
Duan Peng and the others did not carry pepper noodles with them. The team member had already gone to a nearby village to get pepper noodles.
"This mission is not your turn yet. Your team is responsible for covering and responding." Duan Peng said categorically. If there was a death mission, he would definitely go first, not Wang Xikui.
10 o'clock in the morning.
He thought for a while, and then said: "Use smoke bombs to obscure the sight of the Japanese machine gunners and gunners. The people responsible for detonating the bombs will take this opportunity to retreat immediately."
Thinking of Okamura Neji's introduction to the iron rolling tactic, Miyano Michichi became more and more looking forward to observing the battlefield.
Moreover, Langya Mountain is the territory of the Eighth Route Army and belongs to the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei base area.
The Japanese soldier at the front was holding a military dog.
By the time Duan Peng and Wang Xikui's combat team returned to the woods, more than four hours had passed.
They must complete the bomb planting before dawn, otherwise waiting until dawn to bury the bomb will increase the risk of exposure.
If a string is used to detonate, the distance will be even closer.
After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the guerrillas successfully blew up 2,000 tons of combat supplies at the cost of more than 200 casualties, completing the task assigned by their superiors.
If explosives were buried under the railway tracks, they would definitely be sniffed out by the patrolling Japanese dogs.
Duan Peng carefully studied the retreat route.
In addition, the foundation of the railway is higher than the horizon, so the enemy in the armored train has a better view.
But it is far less dense than the Zhengtai Railway and Tongpu Railway.
The Kwantung Army organized troops to conduct raids many times, but with little success. If this iron-roller raid could deal with the Eighth Route Army, it would certainly be able to deal with the Manchurian anti-Japanese armed forces.
If the person who pressed the detonator got up from his hiding position, he would definitely be exposed to the enemy's machine gun and howitzer fire.
Duan Peng looked at the explosive bag that was tied like a quilt, with a murderous smile on his face: "This thing is so powerful!"
Then, Duan Peng led Wang Xikui's team towards the railroad tracks.
The last time Duan Peng came here, he met an underground party and learned that there was a tunnel in the nearby Baizhuang Village that could accommodate dozens of people.
This time, during the large-scale mopping up of Jizhong, some members of the Eighth Route Army were able to break through during the mopping up attack.
Judging from the number of people, this should be a detachment of Japanese soldiers. Each Japanese soldier holds a flashlight in his hand.
the next day.
Each team of the Sword Squadron is equipped with a 60mm mortar, and this time they also brought two 60mm mortars and some smoke grenades.
During the Eighth Route Army period, explosive packs were used for practical tactical needs, such as blowing up roads, bridges, gun towers, trains, etc.
Wang Xikui quickly thought of this and said: "Captain, I apply to carry out the detonation device. At worst, I will trade with the old Japanese for one. I will be a small captain in exchange for his lousy lieutenant general. This deal is worth it!"
Wang Gensheng pointed to a large explosive bag next to him and said: "30 kilograms of TNT high explosives. I also added some materials, fragments, warheads and nails into it. It's enough for that old devil Miyano to drink a pot."
"Wang Xikui, your team will join me to conduct reconnaissance on the railway, find out the patterns of the Japanese railway patrols, and find the best blasting point."
Since the detonation is triggered by wires, the position where the detonator is pressed will not be too far from the railway track.
Duan Peng's face darkened slightly. The Japanese actually had military dogs. Now they were in big trouble.
Pit poof pit poof…
Miyano Michichi visited the Jizhong area this time, not because he wanted to compliment Okamura Neji, but because he was really interested in the iron-rolling sweep.
As the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, one of the biggest headaches was the security situation in Northeast Manchuria.
Even during the War of Liberation, the Eighth Route Army used it as a shell for thunder cannons.
Since it was night, Duan Peng and Wang Xikui were lying in the grass and could not be seen by the passing Japanese patrol.
As soon as he entered the woods, Duan Peng saw Wang Gensheng and asked.
…
The Japanese machine gunner can kill him with just one shot.
Duan Peng continued: "Now, I will assign the task. Wang Gensheng and your team will start making bombs."
From time to time, railways are attacked and rails are stripped bare.
The Type 94 armored train has a total of 8 carriages, and the command carriage is in the 4th carriage. This mission only requires blowing up the guard carriage.
…
If you want to escape smoothly after finishing your work, you have two options. One is to hide in the tunnel and wait for the storm to pass before you come out and return to northwest Shanxi.
As time went by, the Japanese's vigilance and defense became lax again.
Then, Duan Peng immediately took Wang Gensheng's team to the planned railway location to plant the bomb.
In addition, Okamura Neiji has recently organized a large-scale raid on the Eighth Route Army's Hebei base area and transferred a lot of troops, so there are currently relatively few Japanese troops in Baoding and its surroundings.
Wang Xikui whispered: "Captain, there is flat land around here, it seems that it is almost the same where you can plant bombs."
Duan Peng and Wang Xikui immediately raised their binoculars to look, and saw more than ten Japanese soldiers carrying rifles appearing in the field of view of the binoculars.
The anti-Japanese armed forces in Manchuria have never given up resistance, and even these anti-Japanese armed forces have a tendency to grow stronger.
But on the railway here, there are only one stronghold every seven or eight miles.
but.
Wang Gensheng led his team members to unload the explosives from the military horses and began to make detonators and bombs.
Half an hour was enough for them to bury explosives on the railway tracks and connect the wires to the detonating device.
On the way back to the grove, one of the team members thought of a way to deal with the Japanese military dogs.
The good news is that Japanese patrols pass by once every half hour.
About an hour later, the rest of the team members were ready to respond. Duan Peng and Wang Xikui found a distance of about 200 meters from the railway to conduct reconnaissance.
Wang Xikui's eyes lit up slightly, this was a good idea.
"Woof woof!"
Not only will the mission be unable to be completed, but those who are ambush nearby and preparing to detonate will also be in danger.
The second way is to run into the mountains.
"Gensheng, have you prepared the explosives?"
More than half a year has passed, and the Japs' vigilance here is still so lax, Duan Peng's lips showed a hint of disdain.
The headquarters personally issued the order, and several nearby guerrilla groups got together. Under the leadership of Duan Peng and others, based on the information provided by Boss Chen, avoiding Japanese patrols and checkpoints, the guerrillas quietly touched the Baoding train.
Near the station.
On the original Zhengtai Railway and Tongpu Railway, a stronghold was set up every two or three miles.
Put the horse meat jerky on the railway and put some pepper noodles around it. The Japanese army dogs will inhale the pepper noodles when they come to eat the meat.
After the patrol passed by, Wang Xikui and Duan Peng continued to lie there. It was not until three hours passed that the two quietly left their hiding position and disappeared into the darkness.
If the power is not enough, make up the quantity.
"Yes!" Wang Xikui and Wang Gensheng shouted in a low voice at the same time.
However, our army's explosive packs are mainly made of black powder. This kind of gunpowder is not very powerful, but it cannot withstand the large amount of explosives packed in it.
Although it won't make the Japanese military dog useless, it will make the beast lose its sense of smell for three to five days.
Not long after, the team member returned to the woods with pepper noodles.
The TNT explosive brought by Duan Peng and the others this time is much more powerful than black powder!
At that time, two trains loaded with 2,000 tons of combat supplies were parked in Baoding Railway Station. At that time, the defenses around Baoding were also very sparse.
"Hey hey hey..."
Miyano Michichi looked at the combat staff beside him and asked, "Where are you?"
Following the ticking sound of the telegram, the combat staff lowered his head and said: "Return to the general, we are almost in Baoding!"
"Yoshi!"
Miyano nodded, but his eyes narrowed slightly.
After the armored train arrives in Baoding and fills up with coal and water, it will immediately go to the battlefield. At that time, using a 16x artillery scope, you can observe the power of the iron rolling tactics at close range.
