When Li Yan confirmed that everything was ready, he came to a small open space on the easternmost side of the team, called several brothers from the reinforcement group to his side, lifted up the explosive boxes that had been piled on the ground, and faced
While moving along the south side of the railway, he distributed the explosives in the boxes to the brothers of the reinforcement group who were already standing on both sides of the railway waiting for orders.
After Li Yan and others reached the end of the team on the south side, they carried the explosive box and turned back, along the other side of the Xishan Railway to the east side of the railway, and distributed the remaining explosives to the people on the opposite side.
Strengthen the group brothers, after Li Yan completed this circle, he stood there and looked around, and saw that he had already
When there was nothing missing, he shouted loudly: "Everyone has it. Now put all the explosives in your hands under the sleepers and pull the fuses to each other. Be sure not to break them. After all the detonators are pulled, pull the fuses."
Leave your head in my hands, and no one is allowed to light it or explode it without my order!"
As soon as Li Yan finished speaking, all the brothers in the reinforcement group began to take action. They bent down and stuffed the detonators in their hands under the loose sleepers in front of them. They waited until they confirmed that the entire detonator had been completely fixed on the sleepers.
When he reached the bottom, he stood up again and stood there waiting for Li Yan's next step.
After the order, less than fifteen minutes later, the sleepers on the railway from the middle section of Xishan to the southwest of Xishan were covered with detonators. Seeing that the first step of the plan had been completed, Li Yan squatted down and picked up a few extra-long wires.
Connect them end to end with the lead wire, then pick up one end of the lead wire and hand it to the nearest reinforcement brother.
After this reinforcement group brother took the explosive fuse from Li Yan, he passed it to the person on his right, and then passed it to the next one. After the lead was passed to everyone's hands, all the reinforcement group brothers
They all began to close the leads in their hands that were already buried in the railway sleepers.
The detonator head under the detonator was entangled with the lead of the detonator itself. About half an hour later, the explosives on the entire railway section had been arranged. Seeing this, Li Yan reported the news from the other side.
He handed the returned lead to Liu Guangyao, who was standing beside him, and said at the same time:
"Guangyao, now you leave me a hundred people, and bring the rest back to me..." After saying this, Li Yan stretched out his right hand to Liu Guangyao's waist, and removed the few sticks inserted on it.
Holding a grenade in his hand, Liu Guangyao was a little confused when he saw this. He first
He looked at the grenades in Li Yan's hand, then looked up at Li Yan and asked: "Li Yan, which song are you singing again?" After hearing this, Li Yan turned around,
He pointed to the south side of Xishan Railway near the north exit of Xiangma Mountain and said:
"The placement of explosives from the middle section to the southwest section of the Xishan Railway is only the first step of this plan. Next, I want to lead a small group of troops along the railway track to the southernmost end of the entire railway to see if the Japs are still here.
What, if anything, was left on the railway head?
If you say that, we will blow it up directly to avoid future troubles..." Seeing Liu Guangyao nodding, Li Yan then said: "It's almost time now, so take action immediately. After you lead the troops back to Xishan County,
Just don't move around and just wait for my return in the county seat."
"Understood!" Liu Guangyao said, looking away from Li Yan, reintegrating the brothers from the reinforced regiment who were still lining up along the railway track into a unit, and then selected a hundred of the better brothers from them.
He reorganized them into a small team, and then brought the small team to Li Yan. After doing this, Liu Guangyao reached out and patted Li Yan on the shoulder and warned: "Li Yan, be careful."
After Liu Guangyao said this, he turned the team leader around and led the team towards the woods in the west of Xishan County. Seeing this, Li Yan also started his next move. He first led the team to the railway station.
In front of the Eighth Route Army troops stationed at the Xishan Nanqiao base area on the southwest side, he explained the situation to the second brigade commander.
He borrowed two Eighth Route Army soldiers and placed them in the middle section of the Xishan Railway to detonate explosives, and then continued to lead the team to the southwest of the railway. When the entire team arrived near Xiangma Mountain, Li Yan led the team.
After leaving the railway track, take it to a nearby dense forest and continue towards the southernmost end of the railway.
After about an hour, Li Yan's team finally marched to the southern end of the Xishan Railway. At the same time, two trains that had not yet arrived and had been driven away by the Japanese appeared in front of Li Yan's team.
Upon seeing this, he moved his steps, approaching the two trains while observing the surrounding movements. When Li Yan confirmed that he
When there was indeed no abnormality on the section of railway where the team was, he turned around and returned to the team. He led the team to move slowly to the two trains and began to check. After some searches, Li Yan found that inside the two trains
Except for some tank cars filled with diesel, there was nothing else that resembled arms and equipment.
Upon seeing this, a brother from the reinforced regiment came to Li Yan and asked: "Captain Li, we have rummaged through this Japanese train and only found this little bit of broken oil. Look... before we retreat,
Should he be blown up?"
Li Yan lowered his head to think about it, then nodded vigorously and replied: "Explode!" Seeing that Li Yan agreed with his idea, the brother of the reinforcement group took out the grenade stuck at his waist and put his other hand on the handle of the grenade.
He put on the string, then turned around and prepared to walk in the direction of the front of the train. However, as soon as this brother from the reinforcement group took two steps, he was grabbed by Li Yan behind him. Upon seeing this, the brother from the reinforcement group immediately stopped.
He stopped and turned around and asked, "Captain Li, are we going to blow up?"
Li Yan did not answer directly, but stretched out his right hand to gently remove the grenade from the hand of the reinforcement brother, and took out a detonator and a coil of lead from his waist, and slowly walked to the nearest oil tank.
In front of the carriage, stand up the detonator in your hand and wrap it with a fuse, then stick the detonator in the oil tank
In the seam between the upper and lower carriages, after doing this, Li Yan turned back and focused his attention on the other oil tank carriages, thought carefully, and then handed over the remaining detonators to several other reinforcement group brothers.
, instructing them to place explosives in several other oil tank carriages according to the method they just used.
After all this was completed, Li Yan came to the oil tank cars and lit the detonators placed on them one by one. Then he quickly gathered the team, turned the team leader back along the marching route, and waited until the entire team
When the troops left Xiangma Mountain, a huge explosion suddenly came from the southernmost side of the Xishan Railway. Immediately afterwards, a fireball rose rapidly, and thick black smoke covered half of the sky over Xiangma Mountain.
