Chapter 1029 Very moved
Zhang Quan and others have seen from the air just now that there are many corpses of Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers on the ground, and those officers and soldiers are still bravely protecting the oil on the road. He knows that these Eighth Route Army officers and soldiers have paid for protecting this batch of oil I was very moved by the heavy price.

He said: "Sir, we should be thankful. You escorted this batch of oil, not for our Taohuashan guerrillas. After I go back, I will definitely report your situation to Jiuye, and Jiuye will definitely provide you with compensation. of."

Cui Zhenshan and Wang Shuanzi were very happy when they heard this.They knew that Master Jiu had always been generous, and that he was rich and powerful now, so the compensation they could get would definitely be very generous.

It is inseparable from the help of the Taohuashan guerrillas that the troops of the Fourth Army Division can have their current scale.They used to fight side by side with the Taohuashan guerrillas, and all the captures were given to them.For example, now that they have defeated the Japanese and puppet troops, all the captured Taohuashan guerrillas will not be wanted, and they will all be left to the officers and soldiers.Don't say that Master Jiu and the others will compensate them separately, Cui Zhenshan, Wang Shuanzi and others are very satisfied with these seizures alone, and they all expressed their gratitude to Zhang Quan and others.

Zhang Quan and others originally wanted to continue to escort the troops of the Fourth Army Division, but they didn't have so much fuel, so they left with the troops.

However, he told Cui Zhenshan that if he encounters interception by the Japanese and puppet troops again, he will notify them in time, and he will bring troops to support him.

Zhang Quan and others returned the same way, Zhang Quan remembered that when they came over just now, they encountered a Japanese stronghold on the road, and he decided to kill the Japanese stronghold along the way to clear the way for the Eighth Route Army's transport team.

This stronghold of the Japanese army has a 1-story gun tower, three bunkers, and a traffic trench, where an infantry squad of the Japanese army and half a squadron of puppet troops are stationed.

The stronghold was built on a hillside next to the highway, and the terrain was very favorable. If an attack was launched from the ground, it would be difficult to conquer this stronghold of the Japanese army without paying a high price.

Zhang Quan and others flew over the Japanese stronghold, hovered in the air, and aimed rockets at the Japanese gun towers and bunkers. The rockets fired by only two armed helicopters destroyed all the Japanese gun towers and bunkers.

The special forces members shot the ground violently with machine guns. Three armed helicopters landed near the stronghold. More than 20 guerrillas descended from above. With the support of aerial firepower, they entered the Japanese stronghold and completely wiped out the remnants inside. .

Zhang Quan then informed Cui Zhenshan of this situation.

Cui Zhenshan and others escorted the convoy to continue to the third military division of the Eastern Jidong Military Region. At this moment, they no longer need to travel day and night, and march on the road openly.

They are full of confidence now, and they are not afraid of the interception of the Japanese and puppet troops at all.

After Zhang Quan and others flew back to the Third Military Division, they reported to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu was also very moved when he heard that the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army had suffered heavy casualties in order to escort the oil.

In order to prevent them from being intercepted by the Japanese and puppet troops again, it was decided to send armed helicopters to escort them.

In order to save fuel, only five helicopters are dispatched to escort each time in turn.

Don't underestimate these five helicopters, they can deter the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops and effectively provide protection for the transport team.

After a long march, Cui Zhenshan, Wang Shuanzi and others finally entered the base area of ​​the Third Army Division and met Gao Jiu and others.

The old friends were very happy to meet each other. Gao Jiu and others borrowed flowers to present Buddha. They hosted a banquet for Cui Zhenshan, Wang Shuanzi and others at the garrison of the Third Military Division of Jidong Military Region, and accompanied them to visit the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Gao Jiu promised Wang Shuanzi and others to provide equipment and supplies worth 20 oceans, hoping that they would stay in the third military division for the time being and participate in the next stage of the war against Japan.

The officers and soldiers were all very happy. They liked fighting with Master Jiu the most. They knew that they would definitely win the battle and earn a lot of money.

The anti-Japanese armed forces of the underground party supported Gao Jiu very much. They continued to send troops to send fuel to the garrison of the Third Army Division, so that the large reserves of fuel here could support the air commando to carry out several large-scale combat operations.

Everything is ready, just waiting to attack the puppet troops coming from outside the pass.

This afternoon, the Jizhong Military Region reported the Japanese army’s railway transportation plan provided by the underground party. Starting at 9 o’clock tomorrow morning, every two and a half hours, there will be four trains of the Japanese army to transport the puppet Manchukuo army. QHD is bound for Beiping.

Gao Jiu decided to send troops to intercept.

After discussion, Gao Jiu, Zhang Quan, Cui Zhenshan and the leaders of the third military division in Jizhong decided that the air commando of Taohuashan would carry out the task of destroying the Japanese military column.

This time, Gao Jiu handed over the task to Shi Jianlong and Liang Shihu, and the two of them led 40 armed helicopters to carry out this combat mission.

According to intelligence, the Japanese army already knew that the air commandos of the Taohuashan guerrillas had come to the eastern Hebei area. difficulty.

After discussion, Shi Jianlong and Liang Shihu decided to carry more rockets this time and carry out long-distance attacks on the Japanese military columns.

In order to be able to accurately grasp the whereabouts of the Japanese army, they sent an armed helicopter, which flew quietly to the railway line that night, set up an observation post on a mountain top, and reported the whereabouts of the Japanese army column to them at any time.

At 8:40 am the next day, Shi Jianlong and Liang Shihu set off with 40 armed helicopters.

The helicopter roared past, passing many strongholds of the Japanese and puppet troops along the way. They did not have anti-aircraft firepower and did not dare to provoke the air commandos.They did not attack the helicopter team in the air, but reported to their superiors based on the direction the helicopter was flying.

The upper echelons of the Japanese army have always been worried that the railway transportation will be intercepted by the Taohuashan guerrillas. When they learned that the air commando was flying in the direction of QHD, they notified the Japanese railway department.

At exactly 9 o'clock, when the military column of the Puppet Manchukuo passed through Yangzhuang Station, it was stopped by the station staff.

The leader of the Japanese army was a lieutenant commander. He got off the train, came to the station, and received a report from the QHD Japanese army, saying that the air commandos from Taohuashan were flying towards them.The captain of the Japanese army hurriedly asked the upper echelons of the Kwantung Army for instructions, and the order he received was to stop their advance and return to QHD.

The captain of the Japanese army hurried on the train and told the train driver to reverse immediately and return to QHD.

Shi Jianlong and Liang Shihu, who were flying in the air, received a report from the scouts sent to the railway line to monitor the Japanese army in advance, saying that the Japanese army had returned to QHD from Yangzhuang Station, and the original plan to intercept the Japanese army halfway was about to fail. Reluctant and unwilling, the two decided to pursue and destroy the Japanese army on the way before they returned to QHD.

After making up their minds, the two immediately ordered the air commando to change course and pursue.

The captain of the Japanese army was worried that the Taohuashan guerrillas would catch up, so he kept urging the train driver to speed up.However, no matter how fast a fully loaded military column is, it can only run at more than 40 kilometers per hour at most, which is nowhere faster than the armed helicopters of the guerrillas.

By 9:45, the members of the commando had seen the train moving ahead,

The Japanese soldiers on the train also saw the armed helicopters flying in the sky.

The Japanese army hurriedly manipulated the rapid-fire guns to alert the air.

Liang Shihu and Shi Jianlong had already known the range of the Japanese rapid-fire guns in advance, and they did not dare to get too close. The distance was three or four kilometers away, and they fired rockets at the Japanese military columns.

The projectile dispersion deviation of the rocket itself is relatively large, and it relies on the vitality of the cluster to exert its power.

The target of the Japanese military column was relatively small, and during the high-speed movement, the air commando fired a lot of rockets, but the result was not satisfactory. Only a few rockets fell on the side of the train, and did not pose a threat to the military column. serious injury.

Shi Jianlong and Liang Shihu were very annoyed when they saw the army that could not hit the Japanese army. They ordered the air commando to approach the Japanese army column to attack.

The rapid-fire gunners of the Japanese army saw that the armed helicopter was too far away, and they could only be beaten passively, but there was nothing they could do.Seeing the helicopter flying over, he immediately cheered up and was ready to attack.

The members of the air commando drove the helicopter and rushed towards the Japanese military column. While firing rockets, they used machine guns to shoot at the Japanese rapid-fire artillery units.

The Japanese army fired violently into the air, and fierce fighting broke out in the open space.

Groups of armed helicopters flew close to the Japanese military columns, firing rockets non-stop.The closer the distance, the hit rate of the rockets was greatly improved, and many of them hit the Japanese military columns.

At the same time, the shooting accuracy of the rapid-fire guns has also improved a lot. Four armed helicopters were hit by shells.

Despite the casualties, members of the Air Commandos did not hesitate to attack the Japanese, knowing that the sooner they eliminated the Japanese rapid-fire guns, the safer they would be.Regardless of the casualties, they flew over the military column and fired violently at the Japanese rapid-fire guns on the roof.

The Japanese army had only eight rapid-fire guns in total, and the helicopters attacked them from different angles, and quickly knocked out some of them.

As the Japanese firepower weakened, the helicopter gunships concentrated their fire on the remaining rapid-fire artillery, quickly eliminating all rapid-fire artillery on the train.

Without the cover of rapid-fire guns, the Japanese military column became a living target, and the members of the Air Commando surrounded the Japanese military column and attacked calmly.

Soon after, the front of the Japanese military train was blown up, and many carriages were hit by rockets.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army knew that if they stayed on the train, they would only die. Seeing that the speed of the train began to slow down, they all jumped off the train to escape for their lives.

When the members of the commando saw this scene, they simply hovered the helicopter in the air and kept shooting around the Japanese military column.

The officers and soldiers of the Japanese army jumped out of the train and were regarded as living targets by the commandos. They had to hide in the carriages, but this was still useless. The armed helicopter fired rockets at such a short distance, blowing up the carriages section by section. fireball.

Seeing this situation, the captain of the Japanese army knew that he would have to wait for death if he stayed on the train, so he issued an order with a wireless telegraph to let all the personnel get off the train together and disperse to break through.

After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo jumped out of the carriage desperately regardless of life or death.

The armed helicopters had already hovered over the train, and as soon as they showed their heads, they were swept down by machine guns.

Some enemies were able to escape from the carriage by luck, and they were hit by the machine gun bullets, and even the captain of the Japanese army was hit on the head by the bullet and died the moment he jumped off the train. .

This was a massacre without any suspense. Before long, there was no puppet Manchukuo outside who could stand up.The carriages of the military train were also torn apart by rockets and riddled with holes.

The air commando team left some armed helicopters as cover in the air, and some special forces members went down to the ground and searched on the train, and soon wiped out all the puppet Manchurian troops.

After annihilating the Japanese and puppet troops on the ranks, the commandos seized a large number of weapons and equipment. Although they were not rare, they still collected these weapons and ammunition. They wanted to give these things to the troops of the Eighth Route Army. These were theirs. favorite.

Liang Shihu and Shi Jianlong did not destroy the railway. They hope that the Japanese and puppet troops who are not afraid of death will continue to engage in such railway transportation, which can effectively eliminate the Japanese and puppet troops.

Four armed helicopters were shot down in this battle, and these wreckage must not be left to the Japanese and puppet troops.

The commandos rescued the wounded, poured gasoline on the downed helicopter gunship, completely burned the wreckage of the aircraft, and then the air commando returned.

After the air commando returned to the voyage, Gao Jiu divided the weapons and equipment brought back by the team members into two parts, one part was given to Cui Zhenshan and his fourth military division of the Jizhong Military Region, and the other was reserved for the troops of the Third Division of the Jidong Military Region.

The leaders of the two military divisions were very happy to have obtained so many weapons and equipment.

They were also saddened to learn that the Air Commandos had lost four gunships and had lost dozens of commandos.

They had no money and no special supplies to return to the Taohuashan guerrillas.We can only help them in life.

They took out the good things that they were usually reluctant to eat, and entertained the members of the Taohuashan guerrillas.

In this air strike, the Japanese army lost a column, and more than 1450 officers and soldiers of the Puppet Manchukuo Army died. Such losses are not insignificant.

After this blow, the Japanese army did not dare to transport by rail anymore.After discussion, it was decided to divide the troops into two groups, one for transportation along the road, and the other for walking along the railway line to Peiping.
