Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 816 Railway
For the task of the reconnaissance company, Wang Xuexin asked them to discuss and prepare by themselves.

In fact, Wang Xuexin can only do this.

On the one hand, this is because Wang Xuexin is tasked with formulating a general direction, and it is impossible to specify every detail of each unit. If this is done, Wang Xuexin may not be able to command even if he has three heads and six arms.

On the other hand, the tasks of the reconnaissance company are very random.

To put it simply, no one knows what difficulties they will encounter in the future, and the critical moment depends on their adaptability and combat effectiveness.

Then Wang Xuexin got involved in the issue of railway laying.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are responsible for this problem.

It was not a difficult task at first, especially after Li Yunlong successfully picked up more than ten miles of railroad tracks... It only took more than six miles, but now that he has picked up more than ten miles, there are still a lot of railroad tracks left to maneuver!

So to build a railway is to lay the foundation and lay the sleepers, and then fix the rails, and that's it.

As I said before, because the rails are not required to be reused many times, only the train can be driven once, so the requirements for the foundation and sleepers are not high.

The foundation only needs to be hard and flat, and depending on the situation, fill some potholes and soft places with stones.

As for the sleepers... Just use round logs to do a little processing and lay them on the ground, and adjust them to the same level as the ground.

This level is obviously not a qualified railway, but if the train is only required to go through it once, it is more than enough.

What Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang are in trouble with is the issue of confidentiality.

Zhao Gang said in embarrassment: "This is a railway construction near Yuncheng, and not only outside the city, but also inside the city! There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and it is almost impossible to keep it secret!"

Li Yunlong stared, and replied: "Is there anything impossible? I'll give it a limit. Everyone is only allowed to enter the city and not to leave the city these days. Let's see how they spread the news!"

"This is impossible!" Zhao Gang pointed his fingers and said, "Old Li, you will cause problems if you do this! First of all, this will cause great changes to the people, and even cause panic..."

"Why panic?" Li Yunlong said: "In the past, the Jinsui army guarded the city, but now the Eighth Route Army guards the city. With me, Li Yunlong, why should they panic?"

"The problem is how many times the Jinsui army has escaped before!" Zhao Gang said: "The devils have also occupied Yuncheng and carried out massacres. Will they enter Yuncheng again and massacre again?"

What Zhao Gang said made sense.

Generally speaking, the people always have a tendency to "seek good fortune and avoid evil". When fighting a war, it is impossible to say that they are uniform and firmly believe that they can hold the city and stay in the city to help the troops guard it. More people should choose to flee. This is human nature.

Zhao Gang went on to say: "Old Li, when the people's nerves are collapsing, if we give the order to go in and out, what do you think the people will think? When the devils don't come to attack, our Yuncheng itself will be in a mess!"

After a pause, Zhao Gang added: "What's more, you think you can solve the problem just by entering and leaving? With 10 people, the devils won't let the traitors sneak into the city with radio stations? You can seal the city and keep it closed." radio?"

When Li Yunlong thought about it, he felt right. Many of the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army were equipped with miniature radio stations. How could the traitors of the devil be unworthy?

Thinking about it, Li Yunlong said awkwardly: "Then... then what else can we do? If the devil knows that we are building a railway, he must be suspicious!"

Okamura Ningji is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The Eighth Route Army just picked up the railway tracks and he felt that something was wrong. If he knew that the Eighth Route Army was repairing the railways, how could he not come up with some tricks!
Why build a railway without a train?

It must be a train!
Where can I get it?
Of course it is stealing!
Then, before the Eighth Route Army took any action, trains on the devil's side were getting ready one by one, so this battle should not be fought.

Just when the two were in a dilemma, Wang Xuexin walked in.

Hearing that they were worried about this matter, Wang Xuexin said "ah": "Leader, we can say that it is for mining!"

"Opening mines?" Li Yunlong was taken aback, and his wrinkled face immediately burst into laughter: "Yes, yes, aren't we going to build the railway into the mine? That is to open the mine! Who would use someone to carry it if conditions permit? Of course, the ore is transported by a small train, and of course the railway needs to be repaired if the small train is used... It is guaranteed to scare the devils!"

Zhao Gang also nodded in praise: "This is a good idea! Just do it like this!"

As a result, the soldiers of the independent regiment started working in full swing, not sneakily, but aboveboard, and even invited a few groups of people from Yuncheng to give them paid help... At this time, the independent regiment had textiles from Xiaobeiling Machine, so have the financial resources to hire people.

Of course, the common people would not doubt what the Eighth Route Army said. Even after the traitor passed the information to Okamura Neiji, Okamura Neiji believed it.

"It turned out to be for mining!" Okamura Neiji said angrily: "Balu, you know how to calculate, taking away our army's railway can achieve the effect of destroying traffic, and reusing the railway track over there, it can be said to kill two birds with one stone!"

Yoshio Shinozuka was rather skeptical at this moment: "Your Excellency, Yuncheng uses small trains to transport mines... The Eighth Route Army doesn't know that Yuncheng will soon become a key bombing target for our army, right?"

Of course the Eighth Route Army knew about it, and the strategic intention of the imperial army had long been a secret.

But this is strange.

If it is known that Yuncheng will become a key bombing target of the imperial army, what is the point of building the railway?No matter how many repairs, it doesn't all end up being blown up?Can the newly opened mine still operate normally?

Neiji Okamura thought about it, and then explained: "Mr. Xiaozuka, this is clearly a provocation by the Eighth Route Army! They believe that our army cannot get out of the war in Henan, and cannot shift the strategic focus to Yuncheng. Arrogance! I want them to understand the price of contempt for the Imperial Army!"

Shinozuka Yoshio asked: "Your Excellency, is there any other possibility..."

Neiji Okamura thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "What else is possible? Such a railway can only be run by a small train for mine repairs!"

It turned out that this also benefited from the roughness of the railway.

As I said before, the railway built by the Eighth Route Army has almost no foundation, and it is still laid with logs... The traitors reported these details to the devils in detail, even down to the spacing of the sleepers.

Neiji Okamura couldn't imagine what such a railway could carry other than a small train, so he was even more convinced that it was real.

What he didn't expect was that the result was just beyond his imagination, it was used to carry trains.
