Liu Jianhua still understands the truth that the cavalry can't shake the devil's ironclad train, but it doesn't mean that there is no way to deal with them.

In order to ensure the success of this ambush, Liu Jianhua asked several platoon commanders under his command to withdraw to a safe place with the team, and he took some demomen to hide near the railway, intending to detonate himself.

Liu Jianhua's guess was correct, the two ironclad trains from Shimen were notified by the 5th Division, and Wu Chun Watanabe, the commander of the Japanese garrison in Shimen, personally sent them.

The ironclad car and a flatbed train behind it carried a team of engineers and some equipment needed to repair the railway, such as tracks, sleepers and other items.

The so-called ironclad train is actually a train, but it is an unusual train, this kind of train is equipped with artillery and heavy machine guns, and is equipped with protective armor, which is generally used for patrol and vigilance of railway lines.

Because of their own armored defense and relatively strong firepower, ordinary guerrilla teams can't help them at all, so this kind of ironclad train of the devil is jokingly called the moving Iron King Eight by the anti-Japanese teams operating in the rear.

In fact, it is also a mobile firepower fortress, which is also a fitting name.

About a few minutes later, a locomotive roared along the track with green smoke and a deafening roar.

"Company commander, they're coming." The scout soldier who had been in charge of reporting the message said in a low voice.

In the grass, Liu Jianhua held the detonator in his hand and was ready to press it at any time.

Boom, boom, the locomotive let out a roar and dragged an ironclad car and a flatbed car from far and near, quickly approaching, and when they drove into the section of the explosives that had been planted by the reconnaissance company, Liu Jianhua, who was in the grass, gritted his teeth and violently pressed the detonator.

In less than a second, a violent explosion suddenly occurred on the originally calm railway, and a dazzling fire rose to the ground, carrying billowing smoke, instantly enveloping the devil's ironclad train.

Under the impact of the huge shock wave, the railroad tracks were blown off, and the ironclad train weighing more than ten tons was also overturned outside the land base, and the high temperature generated by the explosion caused tragic casualties to the ironclad car and the Japanese sappers and drivers in the front of the locomotive.

Dozens of devils were not spared, and all of them died tragically on the spot.

Liu Jianhua's face sank like water, and he said in a low voice: "Withdraw!" With a few fighters, he quietly evacuated the place.

More than half an hour later, a sharp search unit of the 5th Division of the Japanese Army arrived here, cordoned off the scene, checked the casualties, and quickly sent people to report the situation to the division headquarters.

After about half an hour, a large number of Japanese troops arrived one after another, and Seishiro Itagaki and Chief of Staff Nishimura Riwin also arrived with their guards in armored vehicles.

As soon as the two got off the car, a Japanese soldier Dazuo walked up with a heavy face with a saber, suddenly retracted his feet and saluted: "Report to Your Excellency General, after preliminary inspection, there are 32 soldiers of the Imperial Army in the bombed ironclad car, carrying a batch of railway equipment, it seems that they should be the engineer detachment sent by the Shimen garrison, but they were ambushed by the Zhina army, all of them were killed, and none of them were spared. ”

Nishimura Toshiwin was a little annoyed when he heard this, but Itagaki Seishiro's face was as calm as water, and he said to Nadasa: "Take the bodies of the fallen Imperial soldiers to Shimen, notify the search troops, and be vigilant against the attack of the Shina army." ”

Na Dazuo saluted, turned around and took the order.

Itagaki Seishiro turned to Nishimura Riwen and asked, "Nishimura-kun, how long will it take for the cavalry wing to arrive?" ”

"It shouldn't be long, half an hour ago, the cavalry wing called back, they have passed Yangquan Station, and now they are speeding up." Nishimura replied with a bowed head.

Itagaki Seishiro nodded and said: "To deal with this kind of attack by a small force, the cavalry wing, which is far more mobile than the infantry, is the best way, tell the captain of the cavalry wing, he is limited to arrive here within three hours, and is responsible for protecting the safety of the railway section from Shimen to our previous attack, and it will never be allowed, and other sections will be damaged again!" ”

The troops are not far from Shimen here, and it has no big impact, but if this small force is allowed to attack and destroy, then the railway north of Yangquan will be completely destroyed, and at that time, the follow-up tens of thousands of troops can only take the train to Yangquan.

Then he walked hundreds of miles to Shimen, which was originally a long way to deal with the advantage of sitting back and waiting for work, if that was the case, it would increase the unfavorable factors of the imperial army's victory.

"We also have to speed up and strive to rush to Shimen before dark, and wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops while resting!" Seishiro Itagaki looked ahead at the meaningful road.

"Hay!" Nishimura Liwen bowed his head suddenly.

…………

Approaching dark, Itagaki Seishiro led tens of thousands of Japanese troops to arrive in Shimen County one after another, and the commander of the Shimen garrison, Wuchun Watanabe Shaoza, led officers above the second lieutenant level out of the city to greet him.

Seeing Itagaki Seishiro walking down from the armored car he was riding in, Wuchun Watanabe and the others immediately stepped forward to greet him, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Your Excellency the General has worked hard all the way!" The humble position is the commander of the Shimen garrison, Wu Chun Watanabe! ”

Itagaki Seishiro looked at Shimotakejun Watanabe, and nodded slightly in response, a young man is just a young man, and he is not worthy of excessive attention from him, a lieutenant general of the army who is famous in East Asia.

"The general has had a hard journey, is the accommodation ready?" Itagaki Seishiro didn't speak, Nishimura Riwen hurriedly asked, his tone naturally with the sharpness of the peak, which was nothing in the hierarchical Japanese army.

Wu Chun Watanabe hurriedly replied: "Returning to Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, all the preparations have been completed, and the humble post has specially given a banquet for the commanders, and you will be the general and Your Excellency Dazuo. ”

"Let's go into town." Seishiro Itagaki spoke suddenly, noncommittally.

"Hay!" Nishimura Riwen Daisa and Takejun Watanabe hurriedly bowed their heads at the same time.

…………

At the same time, Luquan County, outside the compound of the regimental headquarters of the Dragon's Tooth Task Force.

A scout cavalry rode along the street from the north of the city, reached the gate of the compound, and suddenly stopped the warhorse, which roared and raised its front hooves sharply, and stopped running.

The scout quickly turned over and dismounted, and without waiting for the soldiers of the guard company guarding outside the compound to ask, he said with a hurried expression: "Urgent military situation, you need to report to the regiment!" Before the words fell, the people had already run towards the compound like a gust of wind.

Naturally, the guards did not intercept.

In the conference room, Qiao Youhua, who had already warmed up with Liu Ruhan, was standing in front of the battle map hanging on the wall with tea refreshed, brewing a battle plan.

The scout quickly ran in, and before he could salute, he panted and said, "Tuanza, I just learned that tens of thousands of Japanese troops have arrived in Shimen County on foot. ”
