Chapter 7: Rivers and Mountains (36)

When the train was less than 200 meters away from the culvert, the driver with the probe outside the window clearly saw that there was a sudden violent explosion on the railway in front of him, and then he heard a violent explosion, he subconsciously pulled the brakes, and the wheels rubbed off sparks on the tracks. However, the accident occurred, and the other locomotive at the back of the train did not know what was happening in front of it, and still pushed hard, and forced the entire train to arch from the blasted culvert into the valley. It wasn't until the front of the car behind it also reached the bottom of the road that it stopped, and when I looked closely, there were more than fifty carriages, almost filling the small ravine. The Japanese army was not slow to react, and a lot of Japanese soldiers quickly ran out of the overturned car, and they released their guns while being armed with police weapons.

"Lao Tian, do you want to rob it?" Huang Guilin asked.

Looking at the Japanese troops escorting the car, they were ready, and the vole knew that robbing at this time was a strong attack, but it was very difficult to rob without robbing and not being able to make a false appearance of robbery.

The train solved the problem of voles in time, and five cars full of fuel rolled out of the opening, and the oil drums soon burst out of the open flames, and soon, the fire swept the entire train, and the smoke was billowing out, which was very scary.

"Grab a bird, take advantage of the smoke, and leave quickly." The vole turned and walked away.

Huang Guilin smiled and followed, there was really nothing to grab at this time, and after another hour or two, it was estimated that the entire train would only be left with burned iron sheets and unrolled iron wheels.

"It's a pity! This old car, there must be a lot of things! The vole said as he went.

"It's just that those few truckloads of fuel alone are enough for our car to burn for months." Huang Guilin also looked pity.

"I don't want to go back empty-handed." The vole said, "Lao Huang, let's go and get another mouthful." ”

"Where are you going?" Huang Guilin asked, this is what he is willing to do.

"There is a fire here, and the Japanese army at the upper and lower two small stations must support, I see that this is not very far from the Three Realms Station, we are familiar with the road here, while the Japanese army leaves the station, we go to the station, and we can earn some money." Said the vole.

Huang Guilin nodded: "Okay!" I'll have a squad carry the sapper equipment back to Centipede Mountain, and I'll take the other two squads with you to carry a lot of things. ”

On the way, they saw the Japanese troops coming from the direction of the Three Realms Station, they ran fast on the railway, and there were quite a few of them, and it was estimated that all the people at the Three Realms Station had been emptied.

When I came to the Three Realms Station, sure enough, it was still the same place as before, exactly the same as the last time Panlong used poison gas to turn over the Seventh Division, the platform was still the same platform, the bunker was still the bunker, a man in a railway uniform, holding a small red flag in his hand, looked around at one end of the platform.

"It's Japanese!" Hu Sande said affirmatively: "I know all the Chinese employees in Mingguang's line, and I can have a familiar face even if I can't name them." ”

"Sure!" The vole asked.

"Sure." Hu Sande nodded vigorously.

The vole asked the first shooter of the Movers to come over and ask him to shoot the Japanese, preferably near the thigh. Without saying a word, the shooter raised his hand and fired a shot, which had already accurately hit the Japanese in the lower stomach, and the huge thrust pushed him far away. Touching the blood on his stomach, the Japanese screamed.

Two more men in railway uniforms ran out of the small house on the platform, and they ran to the fallen Japanese, one of whom shouted in the local dialect: "Don't shoot, this is the only Japanese here, and the Imperial Army has gone to reinforce it." ”

Hu Sande said: "I know this person, an old friend of my father, who drank at my house. ”

"Uncle Liu, it's me, Sandezi." As he spoke, Hu Sande walked out, followed by voles and a few others.

Three railway employees, whether Chinese or Japanese, able-bodied or wounded, tied a rope, and the voles began to move things. Although the vole people are called a brigade, the number is not large, more than 200 people, one color of civilian clothes, most of them are equipped with the southern sixteenth and southern fourteenth, only a few people are equipped with 38 large covers, judging from the appearance, it is absolutely impossible to see that they are regular troops. To cover up, the voles only let a small team go in and move things back and forth four times. When they moved their things out for the fifth time, the other two squads and Huang Guilin's people had already gone far away.

Sandezi was talking to his Uncle Liu: "Uncle Liu, don't blame me, if I don't tie you up, the Japanese won't be able to spare you when they come back." ”

"I know, I know, I don't blame you." Uncle Liu said: "You get some strips of cloth, prick the injured one, don't let him bleed to death, that's our stationmaster here, he is a good person, very benevolent and righteous, if he dies, change to a hateful one, we will suffer." ”

Sandezi took off the Japanese shirt and strangled it his stomach, the Japanese snorted, the blood was obviously smaller, and it was estimated that there would be no problem until the Japanese turned back.

The voles saw that everything had been almost moved, the T-shaped pickaxes and shovels and other tools used to repair the railway had been moved to the bottom, the food and armaments had not been missed, the telegraph machine, the hand-cranked generator, including all the wires, had been searched and emptied, and Huang Guilin had left a large bundle of wires at the culvert because of the start of electricity.

Leave.

In late July, the Japanese Sixth Division's offensive in Jiangbei rose wave after wave, successively breaking through the defense lines of the 31st, 68th, and 84th armies. In Huangmei, the two sides fought a battle to the death, Liu Ruming's 68th Army and the Japanese army fought a bloody battle for a day and night, and every alley of Huangmei shed the blood of the 68th Army, and finally withdrew from Huangmei because of the strength of the Japanese army.

The Japanese army's frantic attack, rapid advance, there was an extremely empty area between Anqing and Huangmei, Huang Tianhua at the southern foot of Dabie Mountain accurately saw the opportunity coming, walked out of the stronghold, took Chen Zhengxin and Huang Degui's people, and found Luo Shujia, the commander of the 199th Division of the 87th Army, who was resting in Dabie Mountain.

Luo Shujia is a veteran, 50 years old, graduated from the sixth phase of Baoding Military Academy, after graduation, served in Zhang Zongchang's army, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he has been serving as a garrison in Hengyang, until Liu Yinggu was ordered to establish the 87th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, only to lead the security regiment to Anhui, as the commander of the 199th Division. In the previous Qianshan to resist the enemy, Luo Shujia fought in a disciplined manner, although he could not block the attack of the Japanese army, but the retreat was not ugly, after the Japanese occupied the Qianshan, he was ordered to retreat to the mountain.

Seeing Huang Tianhua, Luo Shujia was very polite, he knew that in the current very difficult environment, he had repeatedly created victories, which was really rare, especially in Qipanling before, he helped Wang Yuying's 198th division, and even Liu Yinggu expressed his gratitude to Huang Tianhua for this.

"I fought another battle on Qipanling a few days ago, and cooperated with the Seventh Regiment of the Fourth Detachment of the New Fourth Army to cut off the Japanese army's grain route and rob the Japanese army of a lot of things. Huang Tianhua said.

"I've heard and heard, you guys played well, and the best thing is that you didn't hurt a single man. I heard that after they returned home, there was a cry in Anqing City, and the people gave you the immortal tablet. Luo Shujia said: "It's just that you have no name on the card, and the people only know that it was the Seventh Regiment of the New Fourth Army that saved them." ”

"Hehe, we just need to be affordable, don't ask for these false names." Huang Tianhua said: "This time there is another benefit, we want it, and at the same time, there is a little bit of a false name, I don't know if General Luo is interested." ”

"Tell me about it." Luo Shujia didn't look down on the lieutenant colonel in front of him very much before, but when he heard that there was a benefit and a false name, he was energetic, let people serve tea, and asked people to hurry up and prepare wine and food, and properly received Huang Tianhua's people. Huang Tianhua's two battalions, with a lot of people, came to Luo Shujia's camp and sat around a lot.

Huang Tianhua walked to the front of Luo Shujia's map and said: "These days, the Japanese are fighting with the Fourth Army in Huangmei, because Xiaochi fell into the hands of the enemy, all the supplies from the Yangtze River to Xiaochi went ashore and sent directly to Huangmei, and the road from Anqing to Susong seemed to be much empty. ”

"Excellent! Very good! After Luo Shujia followed Huang Tianhua's train of thought, he clapped his hands and shouted: "This is a master's move, and the chess is high." Deputy Huang Tuan, why did you give me this false name? ”

"My strength is not enough, two battalions, and one is logistics-oriented, and it is a bit unlikely that I want to attack the city and seize the land." Huang Tianhua said: "Division Commander Luo is different here, thousands of troops, with artillery and infantry, can defend and attack. I can't hold the next buried mountain, even if I take the buried mountain, I can't hold it, and as soon as the reinforcements from Anqing arrive, I can only go or go. ”

Hearing Huang Tianhua's words, Luo Shujia shook his head and said, "If the Japanese army in Anqing is reinforced, I can't hold it, and there is no need to defend it." We only need to recover the buried mountain, which is a great achievement, if we advance from east to west, take Taihu Lake, and make a frame with the Fourth Army to attack Huangmei, we can disrupt the Japanese army's position. If we can take advantage of this opportunity, we may be able to solve the Japanese attack in Jiangbei in one fell swoop. ”

Huang Tianhua smiled, this is my purpose! Occupying the initiative and pulling the Japanese army is much stronger than passive defense, and Shangfeng does not like to take the initiative to fight, so he promotes and promotes through his own efforts.

The smooth and easy occupation of Huangmei by the Japanese army brought great shame to Bai Chongxi, the acting commander-in-chief of the Fifth Theater, and also brought an unprecedented problem. After entering August, the combat situation along the Yangtze River was even more passive, and after the Japanese army captured Jiujiang on the southern front, the Japanese troops were divided into two routes, and the 106th Division of Songpu attacked De'an along the Nanxun Road. The Hatada detachment and the Marines continued their march west along the river with naval vessels to attack the next point, Ruichang. The Sixth Division in Jiangbei had already pressed Huangmei with the whole army, leaving only a small number of troops to stay in Qianshan, Taihu Lake, Susong, and Anqing City, and there was only one left-behind brigade of the Chuan Sanada National Guard Heavy Infantry Wing, which could be described as a serious shortage of troops. Inaba Shiro sat in Huangmei, and pushed with Li Pinxian, gaining the upper hand, attacking one by one, attacking and defending, attacking smoothly and defending full of loopholes. Imamura Katsuji's 11th Brigade and Sakai Tokutaro's Sakai Detachment became the vanguard of Huangmei, and Ushijima Manchu's Brigade firmly controlled the line from Koike Town on the north bank of the Yangtze River to Huangmei and became a new supply line. The most important thing is that the Third Fleet of the Yangtze River has formed a steel chain composed of ships between Koike and Jiujiang, and the north and south of the Yangtze River have been united. This state gave Bai Chongxi a big headache, if he wanted to resolve it, the first thing was to retreat all the way, and this way was the Sixth Division in Jiangbei. Bai Chongxi's idea, Huang Tianhua has long been aware of it, he and Mo Di analyzed it several times in the telegram, and the best plan is to persuade Luo Shujia to make a move and stir up the situation in Jiangbei. If Luo Shujia didn't make a move, Mo Di thought that he could ask Ou Shounian to take the 1056th Regiment away from Huangmei, join forces with Huang Tianhua, and attack Susong in Taihu Lake from Qianshan to mobilize the Japanese army. If the Japanese army is still unmoved, it can consider joining forces with the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army and occupying Anqing.
