The army is the place where the strongest admirers are the most. An officer wants to gain a foothold in the team and gain recognition and support from his subordinates. It depends on his own ability and military achievements, not how strong the backstage is.

Li Honghui knew this truth very well.

Hearing that the battalion commander had a task for him, he took it without hesitation.

Through this mission, we plan to get the battalion commander and others step by step and integrate into the National Salvation Army as soon as possible.

After the National Salvation Army became famous for defeating the Japanese and puppet troops, it attracted attention from all parties.

My superiors were not optimistic about the National Salvation Army, but now they have listed the National Salvation Army as their primary goal.

Especially the Third Battalion, which turned the tide in the battle.

After reporting the role of the Third Battalion in the battle, the superiors issued a special order: If the entire National Salvation Army cannot be won over, the Third Battalion must be won over. This is a dead order without any room for negotiation."

In order to complete this task, the superior will provide him with all the intelligence and economic support he needs...

It is difficult for others to inquire about the transportation of all the military trains on the Zhengtai Railway, and there is not even a channel. But it is a very easy task for the intelligence agencies behind you.

Just four days passed, Li Honghui appeared in Zhou Cheng's room.

"Battery Commander, I have found out clearly. Every three days on the Zhengtai Railway, a military train transporting weapons and ammunition, set off from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan."

"Depart at 8 o'clock in the morning, pass by calm at noon, and arrive in Taiyuan at 4 o'clock in the afternoon."

"Yesterday was the day when the military train transported weapons and ammunition. Under normal circumstances, at noon the day after tomorrow, there would be military trains going to Taiyuan by pacifying the situation."

Zhou Cheng was already full of joy, but in order not to let Li Honghui notice his follow-up arrangements, he forced himself to suppress him and pretended to be very calm and replied: "I understand. You can continue to go to Jiulian to take charge, stare at them in training, and let them form combat power as soon as possible."

Li Honghui knew that the battalion commander was still on guard against him, so he threw himself aside after using it, not giving him the opportunity to contact the secrets of the third battalion.

I really wanted to refuse to stay here, but in order not to anger Zhou Cheng, it backfired, so I could only nod: "Don't worry, battalion commander, I will urge them to have good support. The 9th Company has made great progress recently and can form combat power in at most two months."

As soon as Li Honghui left, Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu were called into the command center. Zhou Cheng was straight to the point and didn't say a single word.

"Old Tang, Lao Chen, the information we want Deputy Battalion Commander Li has already obtained. The day after tomorrow, he will have the goal to go to Taiyuan through pacification. After pacification at noon, he will pass Yangquan at about 1:30 pm. I plan to attack it."

"The 7th Company 1 platoon, the 8th Company 1 platoon, the guard platoon, the reconnaissance platoon, the baggage platoon, the engineer platoon, the firepower company emitted a heavy machine gun and a mortar. Lao Chen and I commanded it together and set out tomorrow night and entered Yangquan before dawn."

"Use a daytime reconnaissance of the enemy situation, determine the ambush location, and arrange the battlefield. The Japanese army will take action as soon as they arrive."

"Before departure, Lao Tang, you must gather a hundred mules and horses to arrange the baggage."

"The troops walked on mountain roads, night roads, and had to march continuously. Only mules and horses could help us transport the seized ammunition back."

Tang Yufeng was so happy that he couldn't stop talking.

The ammunition box commonly used by the Japanese army weighs fifty kilograms and loads one thousand bullets. A mule and horse can transport six ammunition boxes and six thousand bullets at the same time.

The battalion commander asked for one hundred mules and horses when he spoke. If he was filled with bullets, it would be six hundred thousand rounds.

Even if only half of the mules and horses transport rifle bullets, there were 300,000 rounds, which was enough for the Third Battalion to fight several major battles.

I quickly took the order: "Don't worry, battalion commander, I will set out in a while and go to borrow mules and horses from house to house, and I will guarantee that I will get you a hundred horses."

Longquangou, a small ravine that the Zhengtai Railway must pass through.

Five kilometers east and five kilometers west, each has a railway station. Although it is very small, there is a railway garrison stationed, which is equivalent to an ordinary army with a full infantry squad.

This amount of force is nothing to the Third Battalion, but they equipped an armored vehicle, which relied on the railway line to patrol back and forth, protected by steel plates, and were equipped with several light and heavy machine guns and a small cannon.

If the Japanese rushed to the battlefield with armored vehicles, the Third Battalion, which was only equipped with mortars, could not do anything to it and could only be beaten by armored vehicles...

Zhou Cheng didn't want to fight such heavy weapons from the bottom of his heart.

Then he decided to choose the battlefield of the ambush army here.

In addition to the five kilometers east and west, there is a railway station stationed by the Japanese army at each of the five kilometers east and west, there is also a small river at each of the five kilometers east and west. The railway passes through the river from the bridge.

If the troops could blow up two small bridges while the ambush started, not only would the armored vehicles not be able to pass, but the garrison would also take some effort to cross the river to reinforce the battlefield.

At that time, the troops will have a longer time to ambush the army, transfer and seize, blow up the scene, destroy the corpses...

The engineer platoon leader Liao Longfei carefully touched Zhou Cheng.

He was the main engineer who supported Zhou Cheng in the regiment. He built bridges and road construction and blasting were all a piece of cake in his eyes.

"Battorney General, I have put all the explosives on the bridge."

"As soon as the explosion is heard, they will ignite the fire. At most one minute, two small bridges will definitely be blown up. At that time, the garrisons in the station had not had time to go out."

"After they arrived by the river in an armored car, our people had already run hundreds of meters."

"There are hills everywhere, the terrain is complex, and there is a small river in front of you. The Japanese can't chase after you."

Zhou Cheng nodded and looked at the railway line more than 100 meters away and asked: "The blasting here is the most important. It must be arranged well. The blasting time must be accurate to seconds. It is best to explode when the front of the car is about to reach the explosion point."

"At that time, the driver had no response time at all, and the army would rush out of the railroad tracks as quickly as possible and crash into the ravine next to it."

"There is a small team of Japanese soldiers on the army, all concentrated in the first car behind the front of the car. If they are hit hard enough, they will suffer heavy casualties without us attacking, greatly reducing the pressure on infantry combat."

Liao Feilong was silent for a moment, and then his face became unprecedentedly serious: "Battery Commander, don't worry, I plan to use the telephone line and the electric detonation device modified by the telephone to detonate the explosives here. Both of them were placed on the double line. The detonation time error will not exceed one second. It will definitely blow the Japanese on the army upside down, with heavy casualties!"

When it is time to delegate power, you must delegate power. Zhou Cheng chose to believe in Liao Feilong.

He is an old Red Army soldier and will definitely not joke with himself about fighting.

After lying on the ground and waiting for half an hour, the ground under my feet suddenly began to vibrate. After a few seconds, the roar from the head of the steam locomotive came faintly, and the sound became louder and louder...

A minute later, the army lined into everyone's vision with a whistle sound.

Especially the smoke coming out of the front of the car soared into the sky, and you can see clearly from a distance.

"Prepare for battle, the Japanese army is here!" Zhou Cheng's expression quickly became serious.

The box cannon was held in his hand, the bullet was loaded, and he stared at the army that was getting closer and closer on the railroad tracks.

Liao Feilong lay beside him, holding the detonator in his arms, excited and nervous.

The whistle sounded louder and louder, and the collision between the army and the railway tracks became more and more harsh.

Many soldiers' faces changed when they saw the train for the first time.

The army was very fast, and it took less than two minutes from appearance to entry into the pocket array.

When the front of the car was more than ten meters away from the explosion point, Zhou Cheng shouted: "Detonate!"

"boom……"

Less than a second after the order was exited, a fireball suddenly appeared under the railroad tracks in front of the front of the car, and then a violent explosion came...

The solid rail was instantly blown into two pieces.

The sleepers, stones and celestial girls are flying everywhere under the railroad tracks.

The army that rushed over quickly had no time to react and rushed into the fireball with a roar.

The front of the car instantly broke free from the rails and rushed into the ravine next to it under the action of huge inertia. The car behind it followed closely behind, with a very fast speed.

"Boom..."

The explosion sounded in the ravine.

The front of the car crashed into the ravine, and the boiler with huge air pressure exploded under the action of external force.

The burning carbon fire in the boiler suddenly ignited the front of the car and turned into a ball of fire.

There were more than fifty Japanese living in the first carriage. Before they could figure out what happened to the military train, the carriage had already hit the burning front of the car.

Most of the Japanese were hit and flew up from their seats, and hit the front of the car under inertia.

Everyone was dizzy when they were smashed, and many Japanese were hit and bleeding and lost their combat effectiveness.

At this moment, the flames generated by the burning front of the car began to spread to the first car.

The seriously injured person who fell to the ground and could no longer move was quickly ignited, screaming and turning into a fireball, and the carriage began to burn.

"The enemy attacks, and it can move people to get out of the car quickly and leave the car!" The captain pressed his forehead and kept bleeding from the wound, enduring the pain, and shouted while running towards the car door.

There were only twenty soldiers left in the carriage and rushed towards the car door when they saw that the situation was not good.

"The fire is coming, just smash the car door..." a chief Cao shouted.

The car door was stuck and could not be pushed open no matter how hard the Japanese smashed it.

The team leader had already felt that the temperature behind him was getting higher and higher as the carriage began to burn, and everyone would turn into roast duck if they didn't go out.

Seeing that many windows in the car were shattered, I quickly ordered: "Smash the glass, let's turn it out of the window!"

The two Japanese soldiers closest to the car window picked up their rifles and smashed them on the glass. They quickly made two gaps, put away their rifles and crawled out.

"Dadada..."

As soon as the upper body was exposed, the familiar sound of the Type 92 heavy machine gun strafing suddenly rang behind them.

Half of the soldier who was exposed outside suddenly lost strength, his whole body collapsed on the car window, and the upper body was covered with bullets, and two blood holes the size of a fist were drilled out. Blood was spewed out from there, blood was dripping, very tragic!

A hint of fear flashed across the captain's face, but in order to survive, he continued to shout: "Why are you still standing there? Keep crawling out. If you don't go out, all of us will be roasted."

"The machine gunner smashed the window behind and covered us and rushed out!"
Chapter completed!
