Chapter 113: Plans Change

According to the accurate information sent by the Baoding underground party, Zhao Dahai's company carried out the operation one day in advance, which meant that Lu Yuan and his team needed to camp in the field for the night and ambush the Japanese munitions train from Baoding to Zhengding the next day. Lu Yuan didn't say anything about this, and he couldn't see any abnormality and impatience from Lu Yuan's expression, not only that, but Lu Yuan also deliberately turned a blind eye to some small actions in the private of the three-person observation group.

"Lao Kang, what does that kid mean? I don't think that kid looks down on us. In the evening, Zhao Dahai learned about Lu Yuan's performance and behavior throughout the afternoon from the mouths of the members of the observation group who came over, especially when he learned that Lu Yuan had been sleeping all afternoon, Zhao Dahai suddenly felt that Lu Yuan's afternoon sleep was probably deliberate. Zhao Dahai's suspicion was not echoed by Kangcheng, but was laughed by Kangcheng for a while.

"Lao Zhao, this is your own hypocrisy, it's normal for people to look down on us, do you still think that the battle of Xiaocaogou was the Japanese army that you repelled? If you think about it carefully, can a person who dares to fight a tough battle against hundreds of Japanese puppet troops alone be a little arrogant? I know what your idea is, but I want to remind you first that this young man surnamed Lu is not simple, at least not more than you and the bosses at the headquarters think. Kang Cheng's words made Zhao Dahai quiet, thinking carefully about Kang Cheng's words just now, Zhao Dahai suddenly found that this matter seemed to be really his wishful thinking.

"Okay, don't think about it so much, let's fight the battle in front of us first. I think it will take ten days and a half months for the German to recover from his injuries, which means that we still have time. Can't bear to see the tangled look on his old friend's face, the thoughtful Kang Cheng immediately reminded Zhao Dahai that as long as Lu Yuan was still stranded in the area controlled by the Eighth Route Army, they still had a chance to convince Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan, who was far away from the main position, didn't know that Zhao Dahai and Kang Cheng were pondering how to leave themselves, and after the sun finally set and the earth fell into a dark silence, Lu Yuan lifted the turf from the trench and climbed to the ground. In order to ensure the safe operation of the railway, after the Japanese army in Baoding encountered several small-scale attacks by the Eighth Route Army, they recruited a large number of local people and forced them to dig protective ditches along both sides of the railway, and also arranged armored patrol vehicles to inspect the protective ditches along the railway.

For this reason, the troops of the Eighth Route Army, who had arrived in Xiaozhangzhuang in advance, could not attack the railway during the day, so they could only quietly climb over the protective ditch and bury * under the railway embankment after nightfall. This * was provided by Lu Yuan, and he also personally promised Kangcheng that he would guide the Eighth Route Army to bury * at that time, and now is the time for the operation to begin. Lu Yuan, who had climbed out of the trench, did not pause at all, and before the three-person group behind him had all climbed out, Lu Yuan had already walked down the grassy slope briskly, moving towards Zhao Dahai and their main position.

Zhao Dahai's company did not have specific engineers, and the only ones who followed Lu Yuan to bury * were the two veterans in the company who fiddled with * the most times, and the other was the three-person team who was almost inseparable from Lu Yuan's side. Under the eyes of Zhao Dahai and others, Lu Yuan and his entourage of seven people quickly crossed the open ground without any shelter, and then put the wooden planks they brought with them on the protective ditch, and several people quickly crossed the protective ditch and lay down under the railway embankment.

The railways of this era are very different from the railways seen in later generations, the railway subgrade in later generations is often much higher than the ground, while the railway subgrade of this era is only slightly above the surface, and in some places it is almost parallel to the ground. When the Eighth Route Army used to bury * bags, it mostly used * lead detonation methods, and the * bags that were detonated in this way often appeared due to the * lead damp or other reasons.

The location of the bag was chosen by the Eighth Route Army itself, and Lu Yuan only took the bag from the three-person team and handed it to the other party after the other party selected the detonation location, and then personally taught the other party the steps to install electricity* and wires. *Hedian* was provided by Lu Yuan, and the wires rented by the detonation* were new wires cut by Zhao Dahai's company from the telephone poles in the Japanese-controlled areas in the past, and a full 100 meters of wires were enough to detonate these*.

After arranging*, connecting * and wires, Lu Yuan and a few people quietly withdrew under the cover of night, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army under Zhao Dahai rushed up, and quickly cleaned up all traces of the protective ditch. Time passed minute by minute, and Lu Yuan, who had slept all afternoon, did not feel sleepy, so he squatted in the trench and silently wiped his sniper rifle. After wiping the sniper rifle, Lu Yuan, who had nothing to do, unloaded the bullets from the magazine one by one, and carefully wiped them one by one with a coarse cloth.

When the time was approaching for the Baoding underground party to send a report again, Zhao Dahai ordered his operators to turn on the radio, and ten minutes later, the Baoding underground party organization sent a telegram on time. "It's broken, the damn little devil also hung two passenger cars behind the train, and there were more than a hundred Chinese on it." After reading the telegram translated by the operator, company commander Zhao Dahai's face changed greatly; once they blew up the railway, they would naturally be able to overturn the Japanese train transporting weapons and ammunition under the roadbed, but the two passenger cars attached to the rear of the train were bound to overturn the roadbed, and there were more than 100 innocent Chinese on it.

The mission of Zhao Dahai's company was to sabotage the railway, and then find an opportunity to ambush the Japanese munitions train, looking for an opportunity to destroy the munitions transported on the train. But the trouble now is not this arms train, but the two passenger cars temporarily attached to the rear of the train by the Japanese army, which can affect the lives of more than 100 innocent Chinese. Zhao Dahai immediately ordered the telegraph operator to send a report to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, but the information sent by the underground party organization in Baoding showed that the munitions train prepared by the Japanese army in Baoding would depart from Baoding Station in a quarter of an hour.

"I'm afraid it's too late, for the sake of more than a hundred Chinese on the train, I'd rather suspend the mission." Kangcheng's opinion made Zhao Dahai's anxiety even greater. If the batch of munitions transported by the Japanese army in Baoding reaches Zhengding smoothly, it will be immediately equipped with the Japanese puppet army in the direction of Shijiazhuang, and at that time, there will be more anti-Japanese forces slaughtered and pursued by the Japanese puppet army, which will undoubtedly make the situation of the domestic anti-Japanese war even worse.

"Maybe I can give it a try, and since you don't have any other better way, why don't you leave it to me to try." When Lu Yuan, who rushed to hear the news, saw Zhao Dahai and Kangcheng, he was just in time for the two of them to wait anxiously for the telegram from the headquarters. "Since the passenger car is temporarily attached to the rear of the car, why can't we blow up the railway and force the train to stop before the train reaches the bombing point? The Japanese troops escorted by the car are just a Japanese squad, so I'll deal with them, and the passenger car at the back of the car will be under your control. ”

Lu Yuan cherished his own life, so he would not propose a plan to pick up the train in advance, but proposed to blow up the railway in advance to force the train to stop. When Zhao Dahai and Kang Cheng were full of doubts, Lu Yuan used the light from the oil lamp to carve a simple map on the ground with a short knife, and patiently explained to Zhao Dahai and Kang Cheng. "This is the railway embankment, this is our current ambush position, and here is the explosion point where * is buried."

"The train will leave the direction of Baoding immediately, and if we detonate* and blow up the railway when the train is about to arrive here, then the train will inevitably be forced to stop on the railway. The Japanese soldiers escorting the arms in the car had no more than two choices, one was to immediately ask the Japanese army in Baoding for help, and the other was to get out of the car to find out the cause or search. And I will cross the railway embankment to the other side before * detonates, so that you and I will form a left-right flanking situation on this train, and no matter which direction the Japanese troops on the train get off the train, they will be within our fire range. ”

"But if the Japanese troops on the train choose to hold on and wait for rescue, then I will immediately assume the task of blocking the enemy army in Baoding, I have proven my strength to you in the battle a few days ago, this time, I will also be like that day, blocking the attack of the Japanese army in Baoding. I forgot to tell you, the gun in my box has a maximum range of more than 1,200 meters, and I also brought * this time, even if the Japanese army in Baoding uses armored patrol vehicles, I can still destroy them. ”

Lu Yuan's words made Zhao Dahai and Kangcheng completely shocked, especially Lu Yuan's last words, which made Zhao Dahai ecstatic. Receiving the task of ambushing the Japanese train, Zhao Dahai was most worried about the Japanese army's armored patrol vehicle, because in addition to using * bag for melee attack, the weapons equipped by the Eighth Route Army troops were difficult to pose a threat to the turtle shell. Now it's okay, Lu Yuan brought a super powerful weapon this time, and *, if you meet the Japanese army's dealer's car, you don't have to worry about it anymore.

The sky has faintly appeared fish belly white, at this moment there is only less than half an hour left before the sky is bright, Lu Yuan, who returned to the mound, led a three-person team to quickly cross the protective ditch with the help of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, when the Japanese munitions train departed from the Baoding Railway Station, Lu Yuan They finally found a suitable position opposite the railway embankment, look at the time, the remaining time is enough for them to dig the position.

"If there is a real fight in a while, without my consent, you better stay here. Once the fight starts, it's hard for me to juggle you, and my tactical style doesn't necessarily suit you. Lu Yuan explained to the three-person team, then opened the box, assembled the heavy sniper rifle, and then carefully observed the surrounding terrain with the scope.
