Chapter 945 The Station
On the surface, there are not many people who can see patrolling defenses along the railway line.

But every two miles or so, sheds were built beside the railway, and the people in the village were allowed to lead their dogs to patrol the railway line directly!

The devils are hiding in nearby villages, ready to deal with abnormal situations on the railway.

The security forces are searching farther afield, and organize the young and strong to form the "Railway Self-Defense Force"!
The villagers near the railway were also mobilized by the devils, and they kept watch day and night after dividing the area.

The requirements for the villagers are very simple, they only need to hide at various intersections in the wilderness, and report any abnormalities directly to the traitors of the maintenance committees of the villages, and then the traitors will report to the gun towers near the railway, and the railway guards of the counties will then report the information Analyze and take countermeasures.

In this way, as long as the guerrillas enter within ten miles of the railway line, they will be discovered immediately.

The devil's trick is quite insidious, and he pays the common people money and grain to act as an eyeliner, and he is not afraid of the guerrillas attacking the villagers who are on guard.

Although most of the people on the plain did flee from the famine, there are still many people left by the railway, because it is relatively easy to find a chance of survival by relying on the railway.

Those who are strong can go to the nearby station to carry the devils, or follow the little devils to maintain the railway.

Those who are in poor health can receive half a catty of coarse grains in a day if they guard the devils.

The devils along the railway line seemed to have a sudden change of character, and the traitors of the maintenance association spread the goodwill everywhere, telling the villagers that the imperial army will not rob food or arrest husbands this time, and in order to improve everyone's environment, they even sent people to give the villagers haircuts !
Not only that, but also sent food to the villagers, and even brought a lot of dogs!

A young man with a strong body can join the Railway Self-Defense Force as long as he is guaranteed by someone, and he can eat imperial food with the imperial army in the future!
The request is simple, take the dog on the railway line twice at night.

Dogs still have rations!
But there is one thing, the dog must be taken care of, if the dog dies, the whole family will die!

I heard it was going to the train station.

The soldiers of the Ninth Battalion were more excited than worried.

Hitting the train station is something I never dreamed of.

Even if he didn't fight down, he could brag for half a month to his comrades who didn't even know whether the train was round or flat.

There is a battalion commander personally commanding, not to mention hitting the train station, even if hitting the devil's North China Command at this time will do!
Captain Geng took a deep breath, the night wind was icy cold, and his mind seemed to have a lot of light.

The task force has an important task of escorting personnel and materials across the communication line, so they have a very detailed understanding of the enemy's situation near the railway line.

The second half of the night.

The moonlight was weak, and the open wilderness made people feel uneasy.

From time to time in the distant village came the sound of chickens barking and dogs barking.

The searchlights on the top of the gun towers standing some distance away from the railway track shot out dazzling beams of light across the plains back and forth.

The searchlights are connected in a string, and there is no end in sight.

A group of black shadows held their rifles and bowed their waists, trotting forward all the way, the footsteps were not loud, and when the searchlights swept over, the black shadows were all lying on the ground waiting.

At the front of the line, a dozen or so black shadows swaggered towards the train station.

I can't even remember how many times I touched the eyeliner arranged by the devils to keep watch!

So far, there have been no surprises, and the start is not bad!
Most of the villagers gathered temporarily fell asleep in the middle of the night.

Occasionally, I meet people who are not asleep, and see the "imperial army" walking over, how dare they yell loudly?

Not to mention ringing the gong at the waist!

Watching another train pass by quickly on the railway, Li Xiang, who followed closely behind, left the team.

Now we have to start making preparations for cutting the telephone wires on the north and south poles of the station!
More than a dozen imperial troops were in front, and the leader carried plaster flags. Perhaps the imperial army was tired and the formation was a little lazy.

More than [-] imperial association troops followed closely behind.

The puppet army on the sentry shed outside the station pulled the searchlight, and the bright light shone on the team swaggering from a distance.

"It seems to be the imperial army?"

The puppet army behind the machine gun next to it yawned: "Hurry up and shake the searchlight aside."

"Why."

"The night before yesterday, Er Manzi shone a searchlight on the imperial army and dazzled the imperial army's eyes. Mr. Bang slapped his ears several times and knocked out several teeth."

"I mean. The company commander scolded him for not opening his eyes. So that's what happened."

"You kid sleeps during the day and didn't see that scene. If it wasn't for the translation, the Taijun might have chopped off the head of the second man?"

"Why, are we carrying out the orders of the imperial army?"

"The imperial army originally hid in the dark to search for the guerrillas. They had a good night and didn't catch a single guerrilla. I was upset at first. Wouldn't it be bad luck to provoke them?"

"Fortunately, you reminded me that I will buy you a drink after dawn."

"That's what you said, I want two catties of pork head meat."

"Hey, it's nothing."

The machine gunner shook his head: "It's a pity, it's been more than half a year, and the guerrillas have never come to our place for activities."

The puppet army who was turning the searchlight was stunned for a moment: "What? Everyone expects the guerrillas not to come. What do you mean by that?"

"You're young. If the guerrillas don't come, my machine gun won't have a chance to fire."

"Isn't this a good thing? Everyone has food to eat and money to receive."

"You know what, if the machine gun doesn't fire, how can I sell bullets?"

"Huh? Can you still do this?"

"You don't know, five bullets can be sold for an ocean on the black market."

"Hey, so we brothers are all rich, and I have twenty hairs on me."

"The imperial army is really too picky, there is no task, and every day after layoffs, they have to turn in their bullets."

Although the railway station is not big, the length from north to south is still nearly two miles.

Only part of the lights on the platform were on, and under the moonlit night, it was barely discernible that there was a long row of warehouses next to the platform.

It's not an important material supply station, and it's usually just turning around some food and livestock here.

If you cross the blocking ditch directly, it will take a lot of time, and it is easy to be spotted by the villagers patrolling with dogs.

The distance from the gun tower was getting closer and closer, the team walked a long way, and the chaotic footsteps seemed to have become a lot more orderly.

About 300 meters ahead is the railway!
"Use the bayonet!" Ma Liang ordered in a low voice.

There was a clanging sound of metal hitting and rubbing.

"We are here to attract the attention of the enemies in the blockhouse. The reconnaissance team took the opportunity to cross the blockade and take down the blockhouse. Pay attention and try not to make any noise."

"A squad of soldiers immediately left the team and quickly crawled on the ground."

Ma Liang took the lead on the main road, deliberately standing outside the blockhouse on the east side of the railway line of the station, neither advancing nor retreating.

The devils in the gun tower looked at the imperial army in the distance.

There used to be a security company company and an infantry squad of the imperial army at the station. Maybe because there was no guerrilla in this area for half a year, the imperial army drew nearly half of their troops.

There was only one squad devil left at the station.

The important military column has already gone south, and there should be only one truck passing by before dawn.

Therefore, the ghost army Cao who stayed behind had no intention of continuing the night watch at all, and handed over the hard work directly to the Imperial Association Army.

He took his men to the station room behind the station and fell asleep straight away.

Tomorrow night, it was their turn to go out to carry out the search mission, and they had to maintain their strength today.

The puppet army on the gun tower finally couldn't bear it, and shouted at the troops in the distance: "...Hey, Tailord, can't you make it through? I can arrange for someone to put the suspension bridge..."
