When the train was "rumbled" to Yuncheng, the independent group in Yuncheng was not idle either.

Li Yunlong ordered the first battalion to launch a continuous feint attack on the Japanese positions in several directions.

Needless to say, the purpose of the feint attack is to attract the attention of the Japanese to cover the train, and the other is to keep the Japanese nervous and unable to get a rest.

However, the latter's effect is not very good, because the Japanese devils in the Zhucun Brigade are all experienced veterans, so this interference will not cause too much trouble to them.

As for the Japanese poison gas bombs...When the Eighth Route Army had not many attacking forces, the impact was not very strong, Wang Xuexin believed that Japanese would not use poison gas bombs. After all, this thing still costs and has risks when using it. If it can be blocked by conventional combat, there is no need to use it.

Wang Xuexin is still in Li Yunlong's command because he feels that the battlefield situation has changed new.

Wang Xuexin said to the map: "The cannons used by the Japanese to fight poison gas bombs are usually the Type 94 90mm mortar, which has a range of 3.8 kilometers, which means..."

Li Yunlong immediately understood what Wang Xuexin said. He nodded slightly and said with a serious expression: "If we want to ensure the safety of Yuncheng and the people, we cannot just defeat the enemy like the plan we set before! In this situation, we must drive the Japanese to a distance of 3.8 kilometers and also keep it, otherwise their poisonous gas bombs will hit Yuncheng City!"

Zhao Gang couldn't help but frown: "But, 3.8 kilometers away... it's a plain, Yuncheng, there are bunkers, artillery towers and tunnels, but there is nothing there. How can I guard it then?"

Li Yunlong sighed and said, "If you can't defend it, you have to defend it! Otherwise, the poisonous gas bomb will be completely finished when it hits the city!"

Zhao Gang did not deny this.

In fact, as the political commissar, he certainly knew the importance of the people. The problem was that in this way, the Eighth Route Army's previous arrangements in Yuncheng area were useless and was forced to go to the plain outside the city to fight against the Japanese. At that time...

Zhao Gang said: "If we go to the city to stand 3.8 kilometers away, wouldn't we fulfill the Japanese's wish and turn this war into a war of attrition to strangle our army with vitality? Moreover, the Japanese's advantage may be greater than that of the Yuncheng!"

Zhao Gang is right.

The leader was worried about the Japanese fighting attrition in Yuncheng. Now the war of attrition was forced by the Japanese to have to move outside the city. This situation was even worse for the Eighth Route Army.

This does not include the possibility that the Japanese may use poison gas bombs.

Wang Xuexin thought for a while and then said, "Captain, political commissar, I think we can prepare for this battle in advance."

"What preparation?" Zhao Gang asked.

"First of all!" Wang Xuexin said: "Since the Japanese in the No. 9 position can fight poison gas bombs, it means they have complete anti-virus equipment. We should find a way to pay a batch in case of emergency!"

Zhao Gang pointed his finger in the air and agreed: "Yes, if we also have gas masks, the Japanese poison gas will not work, and it will not be that easy to hit our defense line at that time!"

"Second!" Wang Xuexin continued: "The focus of our defense should be on the upper wind rather than on the front!"

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement. It is not very meaningful to defend the front when the enemy has poisonous gas bombs. Only the upper wind can give the Japanese a fatal blow, so only by getting the upper wind can the Japanese throw themselves into a rat and avoid being attacked.

But in other words, once the upper wind is lost, it means the entire defense line is lost.

There is another problem: there is also an upper wind place, and it is connected to Luliang Mountain one layer after another. How to keep every upper wind place has become another problem.

However, to defend Yuncheng, you have to do this, otherwise the end result will be that Yuncheng will become an empty city after being miserable.

"Finally!" Wang Xuexin said: "It is still a collaboration between infantry and artillery. The 17 field guns in the city have a range of 18 kilometers. They can effectively provide cover to the defenders outside the city, and can also prevent the Japanese from coming forward without being covered by heavy artillery!"

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang nodded helplessly.

This is also problematic. Although heavy artillery can provide cover, the shells are limited. Although a lot of them were seized, the Eighth Route Army could not produce them on their own. They were just a matter of scattering the scattered area.

But now there is no other way, so I can only take one step at a time.

Just as several people were discussing countermeasures, the correspondent soldier called out: "Captain, the train has been stopped!"

Li Yunlong was stunned and asked, "Where are you blocking me?"

"It's five kilometers away!" The correspondent replied: "It's the Japanese's transfer station!"

It turned out that Wang Xuexin missed a little.

Although the Japanese did not remove the railway line, it was impossible for the train to go directly to the front line. It would easily be blown up by the enemy's artillery fire and the materials could be seized and used by the enemy.

Therefore, trains usually stop at a transfer station five kilometers away from Yuncheng, where they unload supplies and then transport them to the front line by manpower or automobiles.

In this way, it is not surprising that the train was stopped at the transfer station. It is the terminal station for the Japanese, and the Japanese even brought people forward to move supplies.

The monk was a little embarrassed at this time.

He originally wanted to force himself to pass the level.

Forced pass through the barrier is a way, but the train speed in this era is slower... In fact, the Japanese freight train speed is already quite fast, with a maximum speed of about 50 kilometers per hour. The Asian Express train that the Japanese built on the South Manchuria Railway has reached 130 kilometers.

If this was a train in the late Qing Dynasty in China, the speed would be 20 to 30 kilometers per hour, and it was not as fast as the modern electric donkey.

But the speed of 50 kilometers per hour is not enough, and it takes at least four minutes for five kilometers. The Japanese only need a call to the Japanese guarding the railway in front, throw a few grenades and blow up the railway, and it will be all over.

Therefore, the monk did not dare to act rashly and could only be anxious on the train.

Fortunately, the puppet platoon leader named Li Changguo was smart. His eyes turned, and he got out of the car and said to the Japanese: "Taijun, these goods cannot be unloaded here!"

A translator immediately asked: "Why can't you go out here? Going further forward is the battlefield. Do you want to drive up and die or what?"

Li Changguo explained in embarrassment: "Do you think I want it? But... these goods contain 'special shells'. The superiors told me that they must be sent to the front line immediately. Can this be delayed?"

The translator's scalp became numb when he heard about the "special shell".

Not everyone can remove this thing, and the entire transfer station will be finished if you accidentally do it.

Moreover, the front line was indeed full of fighting, and the troops urgently needed "special shells" to help their lives, so they explained to the Japanese in fear and then let them go.
