Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 818 Accident
Wang Xuexin admired Ding Wei's approach very much. The commanders and fighters of the Eighth Route Army have a strong appeal to the people, and they can also make full use of the power of the masses, so they can complete the task quickly, efficiently, and save ammunition.

Monk's scouting company does only one thing: control the train as fast as it can and keep it safe.

The monk almost missed.

Shi Sha suggested that the monk cut off the rails at the beginning, so that no matter what happened, the train would not be able to escape.

But the monk disagreed. He said to Shi Sha dissatisfied: "Deputy company commander, are you being too careful? How many devils are there to protect the train? There are more than 200 people in my reconnaissance company, and each of them They are all good hands, taking down trains and digging railways? Don’t we have to make up after the digging is broken?”

Shi Sha replied: "Company commander, it's not a bad thing for us to be careful. It won't take much time to dig up and make up for it. Besides, if the train stops at the railway station, it won't be a dozen devil soldiers!"

"That's not many..." The monk raised his head: "The battalion commander looks down on our reconnaissance company. I can't look down on myself for assigning such a simple task! Besides, if you dig the railway, What if the train overturns as it moves forward?"

When Shi Sha heard it, he also felt that it made sense, so he followed the monk.

In fact, the situation that the monk said will most likely not happen. If the train driver finds that the track has been cut off, most of them will choose to stop instead of driving the train directly to the step of derailment and overturning.

The monk's estimate was correct. There were only a dozen devils protecting the train, and there were only a dozen devils at the train station, plus a platoon of puppet troops, and the total number of enemies was only about sixty.

There are more than 200 people in the reconnaissance company, and all of them are good hands. To deal with these sixty or so mobs, isn't it just three fingers to pinch the snails?
The problem is that this is not the case once the war is fought.

The only thing to blame is that Ding Wei's actions were too fast. As soon as the battle started, the laborers in Jiangyangfu launched uprisings one after another... Many of them were not even mobilized by the Eighth Route Army, but spontaneously by the laborers.

It's easy to understand. I've had enough of being shit and pissed on my head by devils and puppet soldiers. If I'm not careful, I have to confess my life. It can even be said that there is no hope of getting out alive. Now I hear The sound of the gunfire knew that the Eighth Route Army was coming, which meant that hope was coming, so why not fight to the death?
The speed of the labor uprising was so fast that the devils and the puppet army knew immediately that they could not control it, let alone win the battle.

At the same time, there was an unknown number of Eighth Route Army ambushing outside, and it was getting dark again. It was basically dead to stay here or rush out.

There is only one way to survive: the railway station, and only by taking the train can you escape quickly.

So, all the devils and puppet troops crowded towards the train station, and the train station was still their hope... This put a lot of pressure on the reconnaissance company. They were almost caught between two layers of devils inside and outside, and they were completely unprepared. Suddenly fell into a bitter struggle.

The most terrible thing is that the train started slowly again at this time... Seeing that the situation is not good, the devil planned to drive the train and leave the friendly troops stranded outside to escape.

Seeing that the train was about to leave the station, but the reconnaissance company was pressed down by several times the troops and could not move. At this critical moment, the monk sprinted up to the roof of a private house like a monkey. As soon as he jumped, he grabbed the locomotive in the air, and then took out the box cannon from his waist and probed it. He slammed into it with a bang, and knocked down the devils inside on the spot.

The train gradually stopped, Shi Sha reacted quickly, and immediately led the troops to approach the locomotive and guarded it tightly.

Because Shi Sha understands that as long as he guards the locomotive, everything else is easy to talk about, the enemy will not be able to escape no matter what, and the plan can proceed as usual.

Sure enough, the enemy attacked in the direction of the locomotive like crazy.

But before the reconnaissance company attacked the train, after the monk showed his hand and snatched the locomotive, he took the initiative and replaced the attack with defense. The situation was quite different.

The enemies who rushed up were always pressed down by the reconnaissance company and could not get close. The battle was not over until Ding Wei occupied Jiangyangfu and led the reinforcements to arrive.

In this battle, although the monk made the first contribution, he was still disgraced. In addition, the reconnaissance company sacrificed more than [-] people, and the monk felt that he couldn't hold back his face.

"Deputy company commander!" The monk reflected to Shi Sha with a sullen face: "I should listen to you. If the railway is dug first, the troops don't need to rush to attack the train and become passive!"

There is nothing wrong with what the monk said.

If the railway is cut off from the beginning, and the train is in a state where it is impossible to escape, then the reconnaissance company can advance, attack, retreat, or defend. If the situation is wrong, it can just withdraw. There is no need to fight the enemy with superior forces.

But because the railway has not been cut off, the train may flee and the whole plan fails, so the reconnaissance company can only move forward and not retreat, even if the enemy is surrounded by more and more, it has no choice.

"Brother Thirty!" The monk took off his hat and threw it on the ground fiercely, then squatted on the ground with an "ah", and said in a muffled voice: "I'm sorry!"

Shi Sha stepped forward and patted the monk on the shoulder, and said: "Company commander, I don't blame you. How can there be no casualties in a war, and there are no generals who are always victorious. We still won the battle! Besides, our mission has not been completed yet. , do you see..."

The monk nodded.

What Shi Sha said was right, the task has not been completed, even if he wants to be held accountable, he will have to wait until he returns to Yuncheng.

At this time, the monk had realized that the task this time was not as simple as he imagined.

The news of Jiangyangfu's fall quickly spread to Okamura Ningji's headquarters.

Neiji Okamura was not surprised in this regard, because for the Eighth Route Army, if their strategic goal is to destroy the empire's logistics supply line and support the recalcitrant army, then the source of attacking logistics supplies is to produce supplies or even blow up machines. Naturally, it makes sense.

Neiji Okamura found it strange that Jiangyangfu was located in the hinterland of the imperial army, surrounded by troops of the imperial army. Wasn't the Eighth Route Army throwing itself into a trap by doing this?

Could it be that they could put together a regiment of troops to blow up those machines?
But Neiji Okamura soon got an answer.

Before Neiji Okamura had time to mobilize troops to surround Jiangyang Fu, Shinozuka Yoshio nervously came to report with a telegram: "Your Excellency, our army has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army in many places. Unlike It was done by the guerrillas, it was a regular army with strong combat effectiveness!"

"I see!" Neiji Okamura nodded and said, "It seems that the Eighth Route Army has launched the second Hundred Regiments War!"
