The explosion at Xuzhou Railway Station was indeed done by the Eighth Route Army. To be precise, Zhao Yonggang, the captain of the Second Squadron of the Eighth Route Army Special Operations Brigade, and his soldiers.
After Zhao Yong attacked Fu Liji, he controlled Fu Liji Station. Just so happened that a train arrived shortly after a short time, transporting supplies from central China to Xuzhou.
The Japanese army gathered such a large force in Xuzhou, and all divisions urgently needed to supplement the damage to the war. Jiaoji Road and the northern section of Jinpu Road cannot be opened to traffic for the time being. Road transportation alone is far from meeting the needs. Various materials, including equipment, are shipped to Xuzhou through the southern section of Jinpu Road and Lianyungang. In particular, grain, the Eighth Route Army has made great efforts to clear the fields, forcing the Japanese army to transport from the northern section, northeast, and central China to continuously transport. Those who go from the northeast can be transported by train to Likou, and transported to Jinan through a floating bridge at Likou. Not only does this delay time, it is also easy to provide the Eighth Route Army with the opportunity to attack. The best way is naturally to transport through the southern section of Jinpu Road and the eastern section of Longhai Road.
The army intercepted by Zhao Yonggang mainly transported grain, with more than a dozen rows of rice. The white cloth rice bags in the truck shook Zhao Yonggang's eyes dizzy. Fortunately, the teacher won too many battles and had more good things seized. Zhao Yonggang was only dizzy for a while and began to look for ammunition all over the truck. As a result, after searching, except for the weapons and ammunition of the Japanese squad on the train, he could not find the entire vehicle of shells and bullets he wanted. The armored patrol vehicle escorted the military train was blown up by him with rockets, and there was no weapon or ammunition left in the vehicle.
Zhao Yonggang is a special war expert. He was calm and thought for a while and then he understood that the southern section of Jinpu Road is the lifeline of Xuzhou's Japanese supplies. It should be trains one by one, otherwise so many Japanese in Xuzhou would drink the northwest wind? Therefore, Zhao Yonggang interrogated the Japanese stationmaster again and used all his means, and finally learned that an hour later there would be another army passing.
This person is in the world, and some people are born with courage. Like Zhao Yonggang, most people only think that this person is honest and gentle, and he is not visible, and he can't find him even if he is thrown into the crowd. How could he think that this man who is not visible is a brave hero who has made great achievements in military achievements?
Zhao Yonggang can drive cars, motorcycles, tanks, and armored vehicles, but he can't drive trains. But it doesn't matter, he can learn. After the Jiaoji Road Battle, the Special Forces Brigade selected several soldiers from the Eighth Route Army Railway Detachment in the Boshan Eighth Route Army in the middle of Shandong. The second squadron divided two, and they could drive trains and snatch trains. This time it was just right to use it.
An hour later, the second Japanese army arrived. The signal lights on the platform sent out a fault maintenance signal. No matter how powerful the army is, it is impossible for the army to leave the track. The second army had to stop and wait for the first army to repair the fault.
This army was loaded with shells and bullets. Zhao Yonggang was so happy that he was full of guns. However, there were many Japanese escorts, and there were a squadron of Japanese squadrons in the front and back.
The webmaster kept bent down to apologize to the Japanese squadron leader, and kept saying, "I have caused you trouble, please take care of me." Then he diligently called the Imperial Army soldiers out of the car and had a sip of hot soup, rest, and it would be fine soon.
The Japanese squadron leader looked at the workers who were knocking on the wheels under the front of the car with tools, then looked at the neat rice bags stamped on the first military car, and then looked at the sentries carrying guns and ammunition on the platform, and then ordered the soldiers to get off the car and rest.
As soon as the Japanese squadron leader spoke, the Japanese who were escorting the car rushed to jump out of the car. A quarrel of Japanese dialect suddenly rang out on the platform. The Japanese soldiers were smoking and storming, and then rushed into the box office to roast the fire to keep warm and drink water.
At this time, the webmaster who was very attentive just now changed his face. The sentry standing guard on the platform changed his face. The soldiers who were boiling water and scooping soup for the Japanese soldiers at the box office also changed their faces. From the webmaster's office to the box office, there were puffs everywhere. People knew that it was the pistol with a silencer unique to the Eighth Route Army Special Forces that was killing the Japanese.
After packing up the Japanese, the Eighth Route Army began to unload the truck.
The cavalry brigade had just attacked the ambush of the Japanese devils in Su County. After receiving the report that Zhao Yonggang intercepted two armies, Hu Laohu asked the cavalry to take the artillery regiment to occupy Su County. He took the cavalry regiment and the cavalry regiment and the third cavalry to the Fuliji Railway Station like lightning to transport arms and food.
The distance was not far, and the cavalry was fast, so Hu Laohu and the others arrived soon.
Looking at the trucks of rice and trucks of arms, Hu Laohu was excited and hugged Zhao Yonggang, and praised him without stopping: "Good job! Good job!"
Maybe he had been working as a special forces soldier for a long time, and Zhao Yonggang always looked cold. He told Hu Laohu straightforwardly that the unloading speed should be fast and that he still had a task to give gifts to the Japanese devils in Xuzhou, and Fu Liji's defense was also handed over to the Cavalry Brigade.
Hu Laohu had no objection to accepting Fu Liji's defense, but he had objections to Zhao Yong's attempt to pull a truck of shells and bullets to bomb Xuzhou Railway Station. His reason was that there were not many Japanese at Xuzhou Railway Station, so there was no need to waste so many shells and bullets. Leave these shells to the Artillery Corps of the First Brigade of the Cultivation Brigade and the Artillery Corps of the Cavalry Brigade. You can fight several major battles, but you can't do such a business that loudly sounds and kills less enemies!
Zhao Yonggang also knew the importance of artillery shells to the instructors, which focused on firepower advantages, but he had to go to Xuzhou. That was a task assigned by Liu Yimin, with the purpose of destroying the transportation hub of Xuzhou Railway Station.
The result of the two people's discussion was that Zhao Yongkang compromised. In the end, only twenty shells were placed in each train of the two military trains. One soldier was responsible for loading fuses to the shells when he was about to arrive in Xuzhou, connecting them with explosives. The soldiers lit the fuse before jumping off the car. When the train entered the station, they would give the Japanese at Xuzhou Railway Station a good gift.
After the deployment, Zhao Yonggang asked two soldiers who could drive trains to get on the train and acted as drivers, and then asked two soldiers to be used as furnaces. He led more than 20 soldiers to put on Japanese military uniforms and boarded the train.
With a whistle, two empty military rows rushed towards Xuzhou Railway Station.
The railway distance from Fu Liji to Xuzhou is only 50 kilometers. Two military trains, one in front and one behind, ran towards Xuzhou, and were shocked to the Japanese at several small stations along the way. They didn't know why the military trains were so fast.
After an hour or so, Zhao Yonggang saw Xuzhou with shadows on the snowy night.
Thinking about the last time I went to Xuzhou to attack two airports, Zhao Yonggang couldn't help but smile on his lips. That guy was so exciting. I'm afraid the Japanese still don't know that they were all their planes.
Unfortunately, the time is rushed this time, so you have to evacuate before the shells on the train explode, otherwise you can go to Xuzhou to have fun with the Japanese and have fun.
Zhao Yonggang looked at the lights in Xuzhou City with a little regret, carefully checked his explosive pack, and decisively sent a signal to jump off the car.
After the signal was sent, Zhao Yonggang took out a match, lit the fuse, and then jumped off the train in the direction of the train. After rolling on the ground for a few times, he stood up and looked at the soldiers who were jumping off the train one after another, and sent a signal of assembly.
Not long after, there was a shocking continuous explosion sound from the direction of Xuzhou Station.
Hearing the explosion, Zhao Yonggang's steps stopped for a moment, and then continued to move towards the night. He had to find a Japanese stronghold and build a car. It would be difficult not to return to Suxian on a snowy night with his legs.
When Tang Xiu'er arrived at Xuzhou Railway Station, the Japanese army had already been martial law on the railway station.
Standing on the platform, Tang Xiuer couldn't help but be beating. This was too terrifying. The first train rushed onto the platform, rushed into the box office and waiting hall, and collapsed the entire box office and waiting hall. The second train hit the first train, one by one, one by one, and fell on the track like a dead dog. The bodies of the imperial soldiers were scattered on the platforms on both sides of the track.
Tang Xiuer didn't care about the losses at the station. What she was looking for was the culprit for the explosion and the train collision.
What disappointed Tang Xiuer was that the gendarmerie captain who was in charge of the search reported to her that the train was empty and no murderer was found.
Tang Xiuer didn't believe it. If there were no murderer, how could the two trains collided? How could the first train derail and rush into the box office and waiting room?
The military police captain reported that the preliminary investigation was because the military train entered the station at highway and the explosion sounded immediately, causing the station staff to mess up. In the panic of the switch, if the switch was turned wrong, the train would derail and rushed to the platform, and then into the box office and waiting room. As for the collision between the two trains, the military police captain said that he had asked the stationmaster that it was easy to control. As long as the first train stopped adding coal earlier, the speed would naturally be slow. When the first train stopped adding coal later, the speed would be faster and could catch up with the first train. However, this kind of thing must be calculated accurately, and only very experienced train drivers can do it. If they cooperate well, they would not be able to do it.
Tang Xiu'er watched the scene for a long time and found nothing except picking up some shell fragments. However, she was smart and focused on thinking, and understood the key to the problem. She immediately ordered the special forces that followed her to search along the railway.
Unfortunately, it was snowing at this time, so it was difficult to search for the Eighth Route Army's tracks of jumping into the Eighth Route Army. Tang Xiu'er led a squadron's special forces to search along Jinpu Road, and finally found the traces of Zhao Yonggang and others jumping into the car. You should know that after all, due to the inertia of the train's advance, jumping into the ground inevitably rolled on the ground after jumping, reducing the damage to the impact force on the body, and the traces left were a little larger.
But only found the traces of jumping off the car, Tang Xiuer could not find the footprints of Zhao Yonggang and others retreating in which direction, and the falling snowflakes covered everything. But this was not a problem for her. Needless to say, the Eighth Route Army troops headed south. Because they occupied Suxian, this small army would definitely return to Suxian to meet with the Eighth Route Army troops.
As for whether the Eighth Route Army would go north, Tang Xiu'er firmly believed that it would not. Because the defense line on Longhai Road had already been established at this time, it was too difficult to cross the *** line. Besides, the Eighth Route Army that bombed the stations were obviously the elite teams in the Eighth Route Army. Maybe they were the small army they encountered in Kolai Village, and they would not leave Liu Yimin.
Liu Jian sent out the 1st Battalion of the Fourth Regiment of the Education Regiment. This is the tip of Liu Jian's subordinates. When does it need to be more at this time?
Teng Xinxing, the commander of the third company of the 1st Battalion of the 4th Regiment, has been reborn since joining the Red Army in the Western Range and has made many military achievements. He stood out in the battle of Tianshui to fight the Ma family army and was selected to study in the Red Seventh Regiment. After the study was over, he was received by the commander of the corps Liu Yimin and transferred to the Red 34th Regiment of the 12th Division of the Red 12th Division. After heading north to fight against Japan, he became famous for fighting the Japanese. When he wiped out the 21st Division of the Japanese army, Matsuhide Waithin was found.
Logically speaking, Teng Xinxing should have been promoted long ago. Several times the troops were expanded, he had to be transferred to the new troops as battalion commander. As a result, Teng Xinxing refused to go and insisted on continuing to be the company commander in the fourth regiment. He was so angry that he both called him a pig's brain and was not open-minded. He could only manage one or two hundred people when he was a battalion commander, and how could he be a battalion commander manage seven or eight hundred people, so why would he not be able to account for the account?
Teng Xinxing contradicted that the battalion commander who controls seven or eight hundred people only has the main brigade, and no other unit of the Eighth Route Army has a battalion of seven or eight hundred people. Some troops say that they are a regiment and a detachment, but in fact they only have seven or eight hundred people, five or six hundred guns. Going there is not as good as the current company commander. Besides, being the Eighth Route Army is to kill the Japanese, not to be an official. Staying in the Fourth Regiment, there are endless battles to fight. When you change to a new army, you can only watch many major battles, and you can't participate in them. It's a coward to think about it.
In this way, Teng Xinxing continued to be his third company commander.
After Liu Jian changed his tactics, Teng Xinxing led three consecutive attacks first, with the target of a circular fortification of the Japanese army.
At this time, the Japanese army did not have so much steel and cement, and their fortifications were all trenches and shelters, and the shelters were built with wood.
The guardian of the ring fortification should be a squadron of the Japanese army. After artillery fire, the remaining Japanese squadrons judged from the fire density that there were almost 50 or 60 people.
Teng Xinxing is already a hero of war and is very smart. He suggested to the battalion commander to concentrate firepower to remove the searchlights and torches on the Japanese positions, and then use heavy machine guns to suppress the Japanese and cover the troops' movement. When the troops move to the Japanese positions 50 meters, they will concentrate on dropping bombs, and then launch a charge to completely eliminate the Japanese.
The battalion commander adopted Teng Xinxing's suggestion, gathered the entire battalion's mortars, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns, and knocked out all the Japanese lighting equipment in the ring fortifications.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Teng Xinxing led the third company to perform low-profile exercises on the snow and touched the Japanese positions.
Seeing that it was fifty meters away, Teng Xinxing gave an order and the soldiers' grenades threw at the Japanese fortifications. The dust fog caused by the explosion wrapped all the fortifications.
Teng Xinxing jumped up and shouted "Run", and then took the lead in rushing towards the Japanese position. Behind him, the soldiers of the Third Company held the Bayi automatic rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns, forming a fire wall composed of bullets, pushing towards the Japanese in the fortifications.
When Teng Xinxing rushed to the Japanese position, he found that there were basically no Japanese alive. Teng Xinxing hurriedly shouted: "Stop shooting, save bullets, quickly clean the battlefield, and consolidate the position!"
Teng Xinxing just finished shouting, and felt a chill in his abdomen. He looked down and saw a wounded Japanese soldier smirking and stabbing a bayonet into his abdomen.
Teng Xinxing cursed "Damn it", and shot out the wrecked gun in his hand, beating the Japanese wounded soldier so hard that his brains burst.
Teng Xinxing shook his body and fell to the ground.
