Chapter 320 Planning is not as good as change
In order to ensure the smooth operation of the robbery army, Hu Biao must arrange the order and time of the attack. When the army arrives at the location of the bunker, it also affects whether the operation can be completed smoothly. If there is a slight mistake, all previous efforts will be wasted.
A reconnaissance team was sent in advance to carry a radio station away from Zaozhuang for reconnaissance, with the purpose of confirming the exact time when the train arrived at the operation site. Reserving corresponding time to solve the problem of the Japanese troops stationed in the bunkers.
Just when Hu Biao successfully solved the two patrol teams sent by the bunker and successfully replaced his own people, the team that had gone out to reconnaissance sent another telegram to inform him that the second train was close behind the first train.
After receiving the message from the team members, Hu Biao said unexpectedly: "The Japanese are so dark! The two trains are so close that even if one train is attacked, the escort troops of the next train can provide timely support."
"Captain, what should I do now?"
Qin Tianyou, who was staying next to him, also knew that this situation was somewhat beyond Hu Biao's expectations. If this matter was not handled well, there might be a major change. If one is not done well, they will have trouble with the Eighth Route Army.
Fortunately, Hu Biao thought about it and said, "It's over! It's useless to worry! From the explosion area we set up to the ambushed area of the Eighth Route Army, it should take about ten minutes to drive the train normally.
If the two trains are really close, it may save us a lot of time. Notify the blasting team and the plan remains unchanged. Let the first train pass. When the second train arrives, blast as planned.
If the second train fails to reach the blasting area, then we will attack. Let Qian Zhong and send more machine gunners over. Once the train stops, they will not be able to make the sky. At that time, block them on the train and fight!"
"If you attack strongly, the troops will be killed or injured!"
"Everything is unpredictable! Since it is a war, there will always be casualties. Sometimes, necessary casualties are inevitable. Notify the patrol team that once the train derails, gunfire sounds will be heard, so that they can immediately return to the bunker and launch a melee raid!"
"clear!"
Hu Biao, who quickly adjusted the combat plan, placed more of the team members who had previously concentrated in the blasting area in the bunker area. In cooperation with Qian Zhong's machine gunners, all lurked on both sides of the railway, quietly waiting for the arrival of the train.
At this moment, the Zaozhuang Guard Command was still brightly lit, and most of the garrison officers and the Japanese in the military camp did not rest. The cars used to transport goods and soldiers were all parked in the military camp and waited for attack at any time.
Seeing the garrison officer with a serious expression, the adjutant who brought him a cup of strong tea, also comforted him: "Governor, the train is about to enter our defense zone. The guards along the way have not found anything abnormal!"
"As long as the train does not leave our defense zone safely, we cannot relax our guard. Wait for another hour, wait for two military trains to pass through our defense zone safely, and notify the military camp and let our warriors wash and rest!"
"Hi!"
The Qianfan coal mine and railway incident occurred one after another. As the garrison officer in Zaozhuang, they were indeed scolded by many superiors. Fortunately, the superiors also knew that this matter could not be blamed for the garrison officer. If there was a large piece of land, it would be difficult for the Japanese army to control it completely.
But this time the railway was successfully restored and the army was transported again. The baggage troops and the division generals fighting on the front line sent telegrams to Zaozhuang, hoping that they would ensure that the army arrived at the destination safely and that no more mistakes would be made.
If something happens again, he, the garrison officer, will be the end. He probably won't have the chance to be promoted to general in this life. Whether he can maintain his current position will be an unknown. In the Japanese army, the losers will not be respected!
Also lurking in the city, a small team commanded by Hu Minyi was anxiously waiting for the news. Before nightfall, he received combat instructions from Hu Biao. Hu Minyi also knew that his work seemed dangerous, but in fact it was still very safe.
The place where they were hiding at this moment was Guo Ziming, an underground traffic officer in Zaozhuang, who found a safe point for them. After receiving the instructions from Hu Biao to "activate the alarm clock", Hu Minyi ordered his team members to start sneaking into the night.
Each soldier carried a time bomb, hid in various dark corners of the city, quietly waiting for the arrival of the signal. During the time he entered the city, they already knew the frequency of the Japanese patrol in the city, and they also knew that the Japanese were not paying attention to those places.
The two military trains that attracted everyone's attention finally arrived safely in Zaozhuang. On the leading train, the Japanese army was also vigilantly watching the situation around the railway. The two Japanese Japanese in charge of driving also seemed very focused.
Looking at the Japanese Agents standing by the railway salute and the Japanese machine gunners lying on the top of the carriage, I also felt relieved. For these Japanese Agents, seeing patrol soldiers on the railway means that this area is very safe.
On the other hand, Hu Biao, Lin Dingyuan and others lurking near the bunker area also heard the sound of steam trains getting closer and closer. The Japanese stationed in the bunker stood at the top of the bunker and were also quietly watching the arrival of the train.
At this time, the combat team members who pretended to be Japanese soldiers were also standing very quickly in an area not far from the bunker, watching the trains coming from a distance and the Japanese soldiers lying on the train carriages.
The combat team members standing on both sides of the railway looked at the Japanese machine gunners lying on the carriage and cursed: "These Japanese seem to be really guarding the battle. They actually moved the machine gun positions to the top of the train!"
"It's normal! We encountered this situation when we were in Runzhou before. The first train left, brothers, are ready to work! Next, prepare to raid the Japanese bunker, and take action as soon as a gun is fired in front!"
"Yes, captain!"
With the first military train, they passed through the defense zone where the two bunkers were located. The Japanese squad leader in the bunker quickly rang the phone. After the phone was connected, the squad leader also quickly said: "Report to the garrison officer, the first train passed through our defense zone safely!"
"Yeah! Thank you for your hard work, continue to be alert!"
"Hi!"
Hang up the phone call from the first bunker post, and the phone call from the second bunker sentry also came in. At the same time, the Japanese sentry inside the first bunker saw the second army roaring from a distance again.
Seeing this scene, the Japanese also said unexpectedly: "Why are these two military trains so close?"
In contrast, Hu Biao quickly said: "Blasting team, prepare! Damn it, I hope everything is there!"
In Hu Biao's opinion, the two trains that were not far apart were indeed a little close to each other. If the previous train did not derail and he started to explode in advance, the first train might not derail and brake urgently.
In that case, the guerrilla detachment lurking in the derailed area will face an intact escort force. If the first train successfully derails and the second train does not arrive at the explosion area, Hu Biao must be prepared for a strong attack.
If he could choose, Hu Biao would rather choose the first train to derail first, and he led the team to attack the second train. In Hu Biao's opinion, the pressure on the guerrilla detachment would be smaller. In terms of combat effectiveness, the guerrilla detachment is relatively weak.
Although the Zaozhuang Detachment was formed by prisoners of war, these prisoners of war have practical experience and are much better than the guerrillas in weapons, equipment and training. On the other hand, the only ones who are truly combat-capable in the Lunan Guerrilla Detachment may be the only veterans brought by Lin Dingyuan.
Even though the guerrillas were brave in war, Hu Biao still didn't want to make the guerrilla detachment pay a heavy price in order to rob the army. In Hu Biao's principle, human life is sometimes far more important than materials!
He brought the commando to the blasting lurking area, and Hu Biao said directly: "Give me the explosion weapon, everyone will prepare for the battle!"
"Yes, captain!"
In order to choose the best time to blast, Hu Biao thought it would be better to control the blaster by himself. If the previous train fails to reach the derail area, then completely destroy the train and send someone to support the guerrilla detachment.
Hu Biao is still confident in the four combat companies and a reserve company brought by Qian Zhong. If casualties cannot be avoided, Hu Biao can only choose a combat method with fewer casualties in the battle.
At the same time, Lin Dingyuan and the Eighth Route Army soldiers lurking in the derailment area were also staring at the arrival of the army. Looking at the long-range lights, many soldiers couldn't help but hold the weapons in their hands tightly, waiting for the time to charge.
According to Tian Tiezhu's previous explanation, Lin Dingyuan selected machine gunners from the detachment and formed a machine gun team to act as a commando to encircle and suppress the Japanese army. With the five-man team brought by Tian Tiezhu, Lin Dingyuan felt that there should be a lot of hope for victory.
"Prepare, the train is coming! Following my order, as soon as the train derails, rush over to me immediately!"
"Yes, Chief of Staff!"
Considering the limited combat level of the new soldiers in the detachment, Lin Dingyuan selected all the commandos he brought to him without exception. Only veterans can maintain a relatively stable and calm mind when fighting.
If it were a new recruit, his ability to withstand pressure was still slightly inferior. Tian Tiezhu and others didn't say anything about Lin Dingyuan's arrangement, but just held the submachine guns in their hands tightly and waited for the time when the train derailed.
Just as Lin Dingyuan and others were expecting the train to derail, the second train took the lead in entering the explosion area. Looking at the locomotive leaving the explosion area, the commando thought Hu Biao would press the explosion button, but Hu Biao was still staring at the train calmly.
Just when the players were in trouble, Hu Biao whispered: "Prepare! Start Explosion!"
Through observing the military train carriage, Hu Biao quickly discovered the carriage where the escort troops were located. When these two carriages arrived at the blasting area, Hu Biao immediately pressed the start-explosion button. With a violent explosion sound, the driving train instantly broke into two pieces.
Chapter completed!
