Wang Xuexin admired Ding Wei's approach very much. The commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army had a strong appeal to the people, and they could also make full use of the power of the masses, so they could complete the tasks quickly and well to save ammunition.

The monk's reconnaissance company only does one thing: control the train at the fastest speed and ensure it is safe.

The monk almost failed.

Shi Sha suggested that the monk dig the rails from the beginning, so that the train would not be able to escape no matter what happened.

But the monk disagreed. He said to Shi Sha with dissatisfaction: "Deputy Company Commander, are you too careful? There are only a few Japanese who protect the train? I have more than 200 people in my reconnaissance company, and they are all good at taking the train and digging the railway. Don't you have to make up for it after it is dug?"

Shi Sha replied: "Company Commander, it's not a bad thing for us to be careful. It won't take much time to dig it. Besides, if the train is parked in the train station, it will be no more than a dozen Japanese soldiers!"

"There are not many..." The monk raised his head: "The battalion commander looked down on our reconnaissance company. He assigned such a simple task. I can't look down on myself! Besides, if you dig the railway, what if the train goes forward? "

Shi Sha felt something was right when he heard this, so he followed the monk.

In fact, the situation that the monk said is likely not to happen. If a train driver finds that the tracks are dug up, most of them will choose to stop instead of driving the train straight up to the point where the derailment and overturn.

The monk was right. There were only a dozen Japanese soldiers who protected the train, and there were only a dozen Japanese soldiers at the train station. In addition to a platoon of puppet troops, all the enemies were only a dozen.

There are more than 200 people in the reconnaissance company, and they are all good at dealing with these 60 mobs. Isn’t it just a matter of pinching the snails with three fingers?

The problem is that this is not the case once the battle starts.

The only thing to blame is Ding Wei for his movements too fast. As soon as the battle started, the workers in Jiangyangfu launched uprisings one after another... Many of them were not mobilized by the Eighth Route Army, but spontaneously by the workers.

This is easy to understand. I was fed up with being ridden by the Japanese puppet army on their heads and pissed. I had to explain my life if I accidentally had to say that I had no hope of living. It can even be said that there was no hope of living. Now I heard the gunshots and knew that the Eighth Route Army was coming, that is, hope was coming. So why don’t you fight to the death?

The labor uprising was so fast that the Japanese and puppet troops knew at the first time that they could not control themselves and could not win the battle.

At the same time, there were unknown number of Eighth Route Army ambushing outside, and it was almost dark. Being here and rushing out was basically dead.

There is only one way to live: the train station, and only by taking the train can you escape quickly.

So, all the Japanese and puppet troops squeezed into the train station, and the train station was their hope... The pressure on the reconnaissance company was greatly reduced. They were almost sandwiched between the two internal and external Japanese, and were completely unprepared and suddenly fell into a hard battle.

The worst thing is that the train slowly started again... Seeing that the situation was not good, the Japanese planned to drive the train and leave the stranded friendly troops to escape.

Seeing that the train was about to leave the station, the reconnaissance company was suppressed by several times of its force and could not move. At this critical moment, the monk rushed up to the roof of a house like a monkey. After running for a while, he jumped up and grabbed the locomotive in the air. Then he took out a box cannon from his waist and poked his head, and beat him hard inwardly. He knocked down several Japanese inside on the spot.

The train gradually stopped, and Shisha also reacted quickly, and immediately led his troops to approach the locomotive and guarded him tightly.

Gu Qing

Because Shi Sha understood that as long as you guard the locomotive and everything else is easy to say, the enemy can't escape no matter how hard it is, the plan can also be carried out as usual.

Sure enough, the enemy went crazy and attacked towards the locomotive.

But before, the reconnaissance company attacked the train. After the monk showed his move to steal the locomotive, he took the initiative to defend instead of attacking, and the situation was very different.

The enemy who rushed up was always suppressed by the reconnaissance and could not get close to it. It was not until Ding Wei occupied Jiang Yangfu and led reinforcements to arrive that the battle was over.

Although the monk made his first contribution in this battle, he still fought in a bad situation. In addition, more than 30 people were sacrificed in the reconnaissance company, the monk felt that he could not bear the burden of face.

"Deputy Company Commander!" The monk looked calmly at Shi Sha and said, "I should listen to you. If I dig the railway first, the troops don't need to rush to attack the train and fall into a passive state!"

There is nothing wrong with what the monk said.

If the railway is dug from the beginning and the train is in a state of impossible escape, then the reconnaissance company can attack and retreat or defend, and it is enough to withdraw when the situation is wrong. There is no need to fight with the enemy with superior forces.

However, because the railway was not dug, the train could escape and failed the entire plan. The reconnaissance company could only move forward but not backward, and even if the enemy surrounded it more and more, there was no choice.

"Brothers in the thirty years!" The monk took off his hat and threw it hard on the ground. Then he squatted on the ground with a "ah" and said in a muffled voice: "I'm lazy!"

Shi Sha stepped forward and patted the monk on the shoulder and said, "Company Commander, it's not your fault. There can be no casualties in the war, and there is no general who always wins. We still won the battle! Besides, our mission has not been completed yet, do you see if it is..."

The monk nodded.

Shi Sha was right. The task has not been completed yet. Even if you want to hold the responsibility accountable, you have to wait until you return to Yuncheng.

At this time, the monk realized that the task was not as simple as he thought.

News of Jiang Yangfu's loss soon reached Okamura's command center.

Okamura Yasuji was not surprised in this regard, because for the Eighth Route Army, if their strategic goal was to destroy the empire's logistics supply line and support the stubborn army, then it would be reasonable to attack the source of logistics supply, that is, the factory that produces supplies and even blows up machines.

Okamura Yanji felt strange that Jiang Yangfu was in the heart of the Imperial Army, and there were troops of the Imperial Army everywhere. Wasn’t the Eighth Route Army going to fall into the trap?

Could it be that they can fight a regiment of troops to blow up those machines?

But soon Okamura Yanji got a reply.

Before Okamura Yanji had time to dispatch troops to condemn the generals to surround Jiangyangfu, Yoshio Shinozuka came nervously with a telegram and reported: "Great General, our army has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army in many places, unlike the guerrillas who do it, but are a regular army with strong combat power!"

"So that's it!" Okamura Yasuji nodded and said, "It seems that the Eighth Route Army launched the Second Hundred Regiments Battle!"
Chapter completed!
