Chapter 13 Stopping the Train

According to the guidance of the full-view map, Lu Yuan squatted down lightly behind a bush after bypassing several big trees in a row. Through the gaps between the branches of the bushes, Lu Yuan clearly saw that in the bushes in front of him, there were more than a dozen men dressed as ordinary people. When Lu Yuan moved over, one of the men with his back to Lu Yuan was talking, "If you want me to say, let's still use the old way, touch it at night, set up a ladder to cross the blockade ditch, and directly dismantle this section of the railroad track for him, the little devil has no rails, and the train will definitely not be able to go to Zhengding." ”

As soon as the man's words were finished, Lu Yuan saw a middle-aged man with a cigarette pouch and pot in his mouth and shouted, "Zhuzi, say that you are a brainless person, why do you like to be nonsense." Is it better to blockade the ditch? And the devil, the railroad tracks are easy to dismantle? If you don't have the tools to get your hands on, you can just let you go on the railway in broad daylight, and I don't think you can remove a single railroad track, let alone the big guy's smearing and dismantling of the railroad track at night, you can't do this way. ”

"Uncle Gui, what do you say? Erxi in order to find out this information, but honestly carried a big bag in the freight yard of the train station for a week, if we watch the devil's train go to Zhengding tomorrow, then Erxi They have suffered for a week in vain? Lu Yuan, who was in the bushes, smiled slightly when he heard this, and said in his heart that this person called the pillar was upright by nature.

Among these dozen people, there were many people who thought the same as the pillar, and everyone immediately echoed the pillar. It's just that the old uncle has been keeping a straight face, and when the pillar looked at him triumphantly, the old uncle slowly put down the cigarette pouch and pot that had not been lit in his hand. "Don't be noisy, although Erxi and they have already found out when the little devil's train left Baoding, they don't know what the train is loaded with. If we recklessly sabotage the railway, and all we get is a useless uniform, can we have another chance? ”

Although Uncle Gui's words were just speculation, the pillars and the others immediately quieted down, and before there was no specific information coming, the way of action proposed by the pillars was indeed too dangerous, and once the expected effect was not achieved, their sacrifice could only be regarded as recklessness. "So what do you say? Uncle Gui, let's all listen to you, you have an idea, it's now until tomorrow morning, but there is less than a day left. ”

The voice of the pillar was a little loud, and Lu Yuan, who was hidden more than ten meters behind them, could hear it, and tomorrow morning, Lu Yuan, who was squatting in the bushes, laughed secretly, and it didn't take any effort to get the time when the Japanese train appeared from the unintentional conversation of this guerrilla. Unlike the old noble uncle who was suspicious, Lu Yuancai didn't care about what was loaded on the Japanese train, it was best to meet the Japanese army to transport arms, if not, he would at least cut off the railway transportation line between Baoding and Zhengding.

Lu Yuan sat quietly in the bushes, eavesdropping on the discussion of the guerrillas, but the old noble uncle couldn't make up his mind for a long time, so he only said that he would wait for the information from the city to make a decision. Lu Yuan was originally going to quietly follow to find out the specific foothold of this guerrilla force, but seeing that the sun was already setting west, he thought that he still had a lot of things to do tonight, so Lu Yuan had to give up and dispel this idea.

In the depths of the forest, Lu Yuan took out a shovel from the storage space and dug out a windproof smokeless stove, took out the iron pot and kettle, and used canned food and chopped dough cakes to cook himself a pot of bubble cakes that tasted quite good. While eating, Lu Yuan also began to secretly think about his own action steps, first of all, it was necessary to destroy the railway, otherwise he would have no way to stop the entire train. If it is decided to use the method of destroying the rails to stop the train, then the location of the broken rails is not very important, and it is only necessary to stay away from the Japanese puppet army strongholds along the railway.

Lu Yuan secretly recalled the surrounding terrain he had seen during the day, and found that no matter where he chose to destroy the railway and stop the train, the nearby Japanese puppet army stronghold would immediately send people over, and it seemed impossible for him to avoid them. A pot of bubble cakes was eaten, and Lu Yuan, who was in good spirits, simply cleaned up and stood up, at this moment he was full of fighting spirit, since there was no way to avoid it, then face it head-on.

Lu Yuan, who was well-fed and drunk, first got into the sleeping bag and took a nap, and when midnight came, Lu Yuan quickly moved to the edge of the blockade ditch under the cover of night. Still according to the steps of last night, Lu Yuan first set up a ladder to cross the blockade ditch, and then quietly lay down under the railway embankment. Lu Yuan has not much * in the storage space, so he did not choose to use * blasting to destroy the railway this time, yesterday he has seen the information of the railway subgrade at close range, after repeated deduction and calculation, Lu Yuan plans to hollow out the subgrade under this section of the track tonight.

Whether hollowing out the roadbed under the railroad tracks will cause the Japanese train driving here to overturn, Lu Yuan actually does not have an accurate answer in his heart. In order to achieve his goal, Lu Yuan planned to hollow out the 30-meter-long roadbed in a bit of frenzy, and he also planned to remove some of the road spikes used to hold the rails in this section of the road. Under the cover of night, according to the news he had heard from those guerrillas, Lu Yuan, who was hiding in the field, waited for the Japanese armored patrol vehicles to pass by here, and then began to attack the section of the road that was already optimistic.

It's just that after Lu Yuan really started, he found that there seemed to be a lot of mistakes in his prior deduction, and if he hollowed out the roadbed under the rails, the rails and sleepers would lose their support. It would be nice to say that I just want to hollow out the railway embankment that is no more than one track long, but now that the length of the roadbed I plan to hollow out is more than 30 meters, there is no need for Japanese trains to come and run over it, and the two connected rails will be disconnected from the connection due to their own weight.

What to do? Do you want to abandon this operation? Like the pillar he saw during the day, Lu Yuan didn't want to give up at this moment, but if the risk was too big and the effect was little, Lu Yuan's action might as well not be done. Time passed minute by minute, but Lu Yuan, who was hidden under the railway embankment, still couldn't come up with a good way, seeing that the sky was about to light up, Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and simply made a decision, anyway, he couldn't come in vain.

Like Lu Yuan, who hesitated but finally made a decision, the guerrilla force that had been here the day before also quietly appeared in the forest by the railway at dawn, but they had not yet obtained accurate information, and whether to act or not had to wait for the old noble uncle to make a decision. The sun rose into the sky little by little, and as time passed, the faces of the pillars and the others gradually showed a look of disappointment, because they knew that even if the information came now, they would not have time to make corresponding arrangements.

White smoke finally appeared in the distance, and there was a faint vibration under the feet, accompanied by the sound of a whistle, and the Japanese train from Baoding drove from far and near. The old uncle, who had not spoken, was also staring at the train coming in the distance at the moment, and after half a ring, the old uncle with a lonely look in his eyes planned to beckon the team members around him to retreat. But just as he was beckoning the team members to leave, the pillar squatting beside him suddenly stretched out his hand to point to the railway in the distance, and his mouth was even more exclaimed.

"Look, old uncle, look at it." The exclamation of the pillar instantly attracted everyone's attention, and looking in the direction of the pillar's finger, the old uncle and the others suddenly found that a section of the railway embankment they were building was melting downward little by little as if it had encountered scorching snow. Uncle Gui's heart jumped, and then he rubbed his eyes vigorously as if he didn't believe it, and then looked at the railway embankment, and then the old uncle realized that the roadbed under the railroad track had not all disappeared, only one side of the railway embankment had disappeared.

Let half of the roadbed under the railroad tracks disappear, and then make the train that traveled here roll over the roadbed, this is the only way Lu Yuan can think of, after hearing the movement of the train, Lu Yuan, who has been hiding in the hole, only then implemented his own actions, but he didn't expect that this scene would be seen by the guerrillas hiding in the forest. The train driver can't see this, from his sight, this section of the track is normal, only when the train is really close, maybe the train driver can notice the difference.

"Woo..." The rumbling train drove over with a long whistle, and Lu Yuan, who had already returned to the field along the tunnel, was ready to attack, and the preparation and arrangement of a night depended on the next. Sure enough, just as Lu Yuan had predicted in advance, the speed of the train in this era was not very fast, and when the rumbling train approached this section, the train driver in the front of the car still saw the abnormality of this section of the roadbed, and the mournful brake sound sounded immediately, and there was a spark on the track due to the sudden braking.

"Oh, that's a pity." The guerrillas hiding in the woods in the distance saw that the train was about to enter the section of the road where the embankment had disappeared, and they did not expect to be noticed by the train driver, and they applied the brakes urgently. The train braked suddenly, but because of its own driving force, the train still headed towards danger, and the driver in the locomotive saw that it was not good, and immediately did not care about that much, and pulled the stoker and jumped out of the car.

In the eyes of the old uncle and others, the train, which had slowed down, still rushed into that section of the road unswervingly, and then under the eyes of everyone, watching the rough-skinned and thick-skinned train like a monster twisting its body, it rolled over from the railway embankment, and several of the train cars were directly thrown open the door, and some wooden boxes flew out of the carriages, fell to the ground and scattered, scattering rifles and bullets.
