Chapter 122 Reinforcement Train
The locomotive started slowly, Hu Fei waved to the workers through the window, and the workers in the repair shop also waved to see them off by the car.
The train moved very slowly at the beginning, and it was almost impossible to feel that the front of the car had started. It didn't take long, and as the wheels rotated faster, I began to feel the train moving. It became faster and faster, and a few minutes later, the locomotive quickly drove out of the repair shop gate.
The oil tanker was parked not far from the front. Hu Fei looked over the front window and the locomotive and the fuel tanks seemed not on the same road.
Originally, there were only drivers in the cab and two crew members, but now it became three people and felt that the space was a little small. Hu Fei stood beside the door, Ji Jinbiao put on an apron and gloves, and took a coal shovel and added coal to the boiler fire door. It was not until Liu Xinghua called to stop that he put down the shovel to wipe his sweat.
With a whistle, the locomotive drove past the tanker. There was a fork in front, and four rails were formed here and two.
After the front of the car drove through the fork, he stopped, started to turn back and reverse. Hu Fei knew that there were hooks between the trains, but he had never seen how the hooks were connected before. He stuck his head out of the window and looked back hard, as if he could see how the train was hooked.
"Bang!" With a sound, it was like hitting something, and the entire front of the car vibrated for a while, then slowly moved back for a distance, and then stopped again.
"Hold it?"
"Hang it!"
Hu Fei asked Liu Xinghua if the front and the tanker truck behind him were hung up, and Liu Xinghua replied that it was hung up. Before that, Hu Fei had already asked the stationmaster Liu about the question of train hooking for a while.
The current train hook is automatic, which is said to be invented by Zhan Tianyou, a famous railway engineering expert in China. In the past, train hooks were connected by manpower. After changing to automatic hooks, as long as the two cars collided, the two hooks could be automatically connected into a whole when they met together.
Hu Fei felt amazing about this! However, his curiosity was no longer time to satisfy. Now there is only fifteen minutes left before the first Japanese army can enter the station!
Drive! Liu Xinghua controlled the train to raise the speed to the highest level. The train drove faster and faster, and the "bang bang" sound became more and more urgent. Looking at the trees on both sides of the railway and the buildings retreated rapidly, Hu Fei's heart slowly felt a sense of unyielding enthusiasm! A person's life is like this train. No matter how many twists and turns he has experienced, he still has to roll forward all the way!
The oil tank train was driving forward at high speed, but it did not slow down when passing Haicheng Station. It just whistled past with a whistle. Hu Fei was enjoying the scenery along the way in the cab; Liu Xinghua carefully controlled various instruments and meters; Ji Jinbiao was busy adding coal to the boiler, and the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other.
Just a few minutes after the train drove out of Haicheng Station, Liu Xinghua reminded Hu Fei: It’s time to get off the bus! It’s time to get off the bus so soon? Hu Fei was not satisfied with being a train driver, and he really felt a little nostalgic about this temporary profession.
Liu Xinghua slowed down the train and took advantage of a bend to jump out of the car first. Hu Fei was the second to get out of the car. He grabbed the handle next to the car door and looked forward. He saw the pretty flat ground on the side of the railway and jumped!
My body began to adjust my balance in mid-air. After landing on the ground, my left foot quickly moved forward, and followed the direction of the train and ran forward for thirty or forty meters before it was considered to resolve the forward momentum.
Ji Jinbiao also jumped off the car more than 100 meters in front of him. The mountain leopard was not as good as Hu Fei. After landing underground, he was 10 or 20 meters away. Fortunately, the landing location they chose was not much stone and pit, and the soil underground was relatively soft, so the three of them were not injured.
Ji Jinbiao got up and turned around and went to see Hu Fei. He felt relieved when he saw Hu Fei walking towards him as if he was fine. Liu Xinghua also ran over from not far behind. After meeting, the three of them looked up at the tanker truck that was already in an autonomous driving state.
A whistle sound came from a distance, and a train drove from the opposite direction of the tanker, which was a bit like a car in a car. The car driving opposite was relaxed and friendly, but this time the train was completely unattached from the relaxed and pleasant.
The Japanese army that Hu Fei had been waiting for for a long time came from the opposite side. A dissatisfied brigade was seated on the army, with more than 700 Japanese soldiers. The team leader Jiro Okamura came to support Haicheng by train!
Seeing that he was about to arrive in Haicheng, Jiro Katsumura summoned all his main officers to the exclusive carriage he contracted, intending to hold a pre-war mobilization meeting.
Because the Volunteers were too disgusting in Haicheng, the new Kwantung Army commander General Muto Nobuyi drew troops from the garrisons around Fengtian to temporarily form a reinforcement brigade. At the same time, in order to show the commander's attention to Haicheng, Muto Nobuyi promoted the serviceman Katsumura Jiro who had been with him for more than two years to become a minor, allowing him to serve as the captain of the mixed brigade and lead his troops to support Haicheng.
When Grandmaster Gangmura was a commander, he was highly valued by the commander. The foot washing water he prepared cured General Muto's mare disease for many years! If he could send such a close confidant to the front line to fight, the generals of the headquarters did not admire the commander's spirit of forgetting his own business. For the sake of the sacred war of the empire, Commander Muto really had superhuman courage!
Commander Muto was worried that the orderly soldier who had never been an official would be embarrassed to come to the army. Before leaving, he asked him alone and repeatedly: he would definitely have a good relationship with his officers. If he didn't understand, he would ask. Don't look down on others because he had a backstage. He should treat the soldiers well!
In Muto Nobuyoshi's heart, a brigade of the Japanese Kanto Army with excellent weapons and well-trained weapons would not be able to defeat a battle at all! Not to mention that Haicheng only has a group of volunteers, if it is head-on, even if it is facing Ma Zhanshan's Northeast Army, one division can easily win! What Jiro Katsumura has to do is to build a good unity and not let the officers of these temporary combinations of his subordinates fight in internal conflicts, that is victory!
The Grandmaster Gang Village naturally listened to the commander's words as an imperial edict. Since he got on the train, he had written a speech at the pre-war mobilization meeting. He wrote all the way, and finally wrote an outline of about 200 words. He saw that it was not far from Haicheng, so he organized people to hold this pre-war mobilization meeting!
"Everyone, Haicheng is an important stop on the South Manchurian Railway and one of the important strongholds of our Great Japanese Imperial Army in Manchuria. We must not be missed! This time I will lead you to Haicheng for reinforcements, so that the Manchus in Manchuria can fully understand the military power of our Great Japanese Imperial Army! Build Manchuria into a real paradise of imperial deeds!"
This guy turned the pre-war mobilization meeting into a political propaganda meeting, and the propaganda was the same as the Japanese army promoted on the radio and slogans on weekdays. Several officers attending the meeting yawned quietly. If he hadn't known that he was the commander's direct confidant, most of the people who attended the meeting would have left!
