Lei Jian said decisively: "We don't have time to delay here, we are about to start the train to carry out a new special mission, I order, except for one company of the fourth battalion to send a company to guard, all the other fighters will immediately board the train and move as many important materials as the troops urgently need, such as weapons and ammunition, food and drink, medicine, etc., in five minutes, only five minutes." ”

Qu Jiaming shook his head and said, "Captain Lei, five minutes is too short, right?" As soon as I boarded the train, I was about to jump off, and I was ....... ”

"No, I'll start the timer now, and I'll start moving right away."

In order to seize the time to move more urgently needed materials for the troops, Song Chun, commander of the fourth battalion, and Qu Jiaming, commander of the reconnaissance platoon, shouted to the soldiers: "Quickly board the train, and in five minutes, we must grab the most urgently needed materials of the troops." ”

Lei Jian shouted Song Chun, Qu Jiaming, and Song Tiedan, and quickly ordered: "Five minutes have come, I am going to start the train, Qu Jiaming led the cavalry reconnaissance platoon, brought the war horse of the guard squad, followed closely behind the train, and responded to the train at any time, the guard squad continued to throw down the military supplies from the train, and at the same time led the war horse to prepare to meet the guard squad who jumped off the train."

Battalion Commander Song waited for the train to leave, immediately cleaned up the battlefield, buried the sacrificed comrades-in-arms, strengthened the perimeter vigilance, and once the enemy's reinforcements were discovered, he should implement the most powerful firepower to block it, so as to give the troops of the 'One Regiment' who had withdrawn from the position of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge time to withdraw here safely. ”

Battalion Commander Song replied immediately: "Please rest assured that Regiment Commander Lei, the fourth battalion will guarantee the completion of the task." He shouted and turned around to climb onto the train, but Lei Jian shouted to him again: "Battalion Commander Song, these three train driver brothers, they are going to join the Eighth Route Army, and they will be temporarily arranged in your fourth battalion, and their lives must be guaranteed." ”

Lei Jian watched Song Chun leave quickly, and he ordered Qu Jiaming: "You immediately gather the explosives bags in the hands of the fourth battalion now, and bring me some more grenades, as fast as possible." ”

In just a few minutes, Qu Jiaming brought the explosives bags and concentrated grenades of the fourth battalion to Lei Jiang, Lei Jian made a simple arrangement, and the soldiers of the guard squad got under the train car and got busy nervously.

Five minutes had passed, and Lei Jian shouted to Qu Jiaming and Song Tiedan, who were still placing explosives and grenades under the carriage, "Come out for me immediately, and the train will start immediately." ”

The three drivers, all fighters of the reconnaissance platoon, received an order to quickly climb onto the locomotive, and Lei Jian said to them: "How long and how many kilometers does it take to accelerate to a speed of sixty kilometers per hour from the start of the train?" ”

"Report to Captain Lei, the train starts to speed up to sixty kilometers, as long as the fuel can keep up, it will reach the speed you want in about ten minutes, but it will have to travel close to five kilometers." An older train driver soldier replied clearly.

Lei Jian nodded and ordered: "I order the three of you, start the train immediately, and must move at the required time and section, when the train reaches the speed I requested, act." ”

The locomotive, which had not been extinguished, with the close cooperation of the three driver fighters, the flames in the hearth were blazing, and the train began to start, according to the requirements of the thunder sword, to force the train to accelerate to sixty kilometers in the shortest time and distance, and they kept hurrying.

A special train of Japanese military supplies, from the slow start at the beginning, rushed into the Taihang Mountain into the mountain pass, and quickly entered the middle of the cliffs that were excavated on both sides, and was driving the train to rush to the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge with unconventional acceleration.

At this time, the guard squad who was still throwing materials down on the roof of the carriage felt that the speed of the train was getting faster and faster, and they were all a little unsteady on their feet when the wind blew up, and if they didn't pay attention, they would be blown under the car by the wind.

Lei Jian sent a message to the back, ordering the soldiers of the guard squad to quickly jump out of the car, ride a war horse and follow behind the train, and pick up the driver and soldier who should jump out of the car in front.

The train has rushed into the Taihang Mountains for five kilometers, and the speed has reached 60 kilometers per hour in advance, and in another five kilometers, the train will reach the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge.

Lei Jian asked the three driver soldiers, "The three of you immediately adjust the train to be driverless, and you can continue to move forward at this speed." ”

The three drivers quickly performed their duties, and the auxiliary driver, who filled the stove with coal, quickly added coal to the furnace until the flames escaped, and then stopped.

Lei Jian calculated the time for the train to reach the middle of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge at a constant speed, and ordered Song Tiedan on the top of the train carriage: "Order the soldiers in all carriages to light the fuses of all carriages and jump out of the train immediately." ”

Song Tiedan quickly gave the order to ignite, he lit the fuse, rushed to the locomotive, and shouted to Lei Jian: "Commander Lei, why don't you jump out of the car?" ”

Lei Jian lit the fuse of the locomotive explosive bag and asked the three soldier drivers again: "Have you all set it up?" If you don't miss it, jump out of the car right away. ”

At this time, the thunder sword and several guard squad soldiers on the train had no time to choose, but to venture out of the train at a speed of sixty kilometers, they didn't know if they would jump to the ground and be swept under the carriage by the crazy rushing train, and be cut into pieces and crushed into pulp.

They jumped, really jumped off the rushing train, and the figures of the soldiers, like black objects drifting away, landed, and they rolled on the ground, letting the train whizz past them.

By the time the train passed by, there were less than six soldiers still alive, leaving pools of blood and broken limbs on the tracks, and three soldiers jumped off the train, were swept under the car, and died heroically, and they gave their lives for this special mission.

Lei Jian ordered the bones of the sacrificed comrades to be wrapped in military uniforms and taken to a good place for burial.

The train was out of their sight and was thrusting forward at a constant speed of sixty kilometers, forward, all the way.

At this time, on the railway line, the 637th Brigade of the 372nd Wing of the Japanese Army, which was ambushed on the east cliff wall, was squeezed into the railway between the narrow cliffs by the fire of the Eighth Route Army on the top of the cliff.

Just when the little devil who fled south was less than a squadron, he suddenly saw a train rushing quickly, and the little devil who was crowded on the track and fled southward howled in fright, and squeezed towards the cliff wall, hoping to get into the hard cliff wall to escape the crushing of the train that was like a crazy monster pounced up.

Too many devils, panicked for a while, running and wailing to escape, how can they escape the crushing of the fast-rushing train? In the midst of a terrible howl, a squadron of little devils, waiting for the train to pass, survived less than thirty.

The train was wrapped in the flesh and blood of the little devils, continued to rush forward, caught up with the devils who fled to the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge, and there was a burst of ghost crying wolf howl, and the train rushing forward at 60 kilometers per hour ran over, and rushed towards the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge without slowing down.

At this time, the little devil who had already recaptured the position at the southern end of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge did not expect a train to rush over frantically without any orders and warnings.

The devil squad that held the bridgehead did not have time to carry any weapons, so they hurriedly escaped from the machine gun position, and watched the train whizz past and rush onto the bridge.

When the French built the Tiger Leaping Gap Bridge, the design train through the speed should not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, at this time the train has been speeding, just rushed to the bridge, it shook the overall structure of the bridge, in the swaying traffic, seeing that the bridge shook very much, the train began to swing on the bridge, there is a danger of subverting to the bridge.

At this time, Fujita Daisa, the commander of the 372nd Wing, who received an emergency report from the bridge protection force, rushed to the turret at the northwest corner of the barracks with the best angle of the observation bridge, and saw a high-speed train rushing onto the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge, he shouted in exclamation: "Bastard, I didn't get the order to pass, why did this military train stop at the Taihang Pass suddenly appear on the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge, this speed will be ......." ”

Without waiting for Fujita Daisa to go crazy and scold, the thunder sword was laid under the train car, the locomotive's explosive bag, the cluster grenade, and the fuse quickly burned and detonated these deadly explosives, and a violent explosion completely overturned the train, and the whole train was separated due to the explosion, and finally disintegrated, rushed out of the bridge guardrail, went straight down thousands of feet, rushed out of the Tiger Leaping Gorge Bridge, and fell into the turbulent river.

In the violent explosion sound of the train, coupled with the huge shock force of the rapid impact, the Tiger Leaping Gap Bridge was collapsed by the force of the explosion at a distance of 500 meters from the southern end, but it did not completely destroy the Tiger Leaping Gap Bridge that spans the north and south.
