Heroes of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 7 Ambush II

He waited until dark, but Qian Xiaobao did not wait for the train to arrive.

He carefully paved the ashes with a wooden stick and then covered it with a layer of leaves.

Then curled up into a ball by himself, Qian Xiaobao lay on the leaves.

In the middle of the night, I got up to light a fire.Otherwise, lying like this will freeze to death in the middle of the night.

Ever since joining the Volunteer Army to fight against Japan, Qian Xiaobao has almost always lived like this in the past few years.

"After finishing this ticket, I will buy myself a sheepskin jacket no matter what." Qian Xiaobao thought in a daze.

Woo--, woo--!
Almost at the same time when he heard the sound, Qian Xiaobao jumped up.This skill that he has practiced since he was a child does not know how many times he has avoided danger.

The two whoops just now were the whistle of the train.

Qian Xiaobao calmly tightened his belt and rearranged his leggings.Pulling out the bayonet of the [-] rifle from his waist and holding it in his hand, he ran to the place where the train track turned.

The train pulling timber from the mountains in the dark is like a big centipede wriggling in the mountains.

Each section of the slab has three thick wooden pillars protruding outwards.Dozens of thick logs are bundled between the wooden posts.

The big trees that have grown in Zhang Guangcai Mountain for decades and hundreds of years are transported out of the mountains and even across the ocean to Japan in batches.

Qian Xiaobao soon came to the side of the train track.He put his ear to the rails and listened for a while.Listening to the sound, it will take a while for the train to pass here.

The terrain in the deep mountains is undulating, and the train tracks can only circle and circle.

Woo-!
Qian Xiaobao turned around and put the bayonet in his armpit.After a while he bit the warm bayonet in his mouth.

In such a cold day, if you bite the bayonet directly in your mouth, you must freeze your tongue on the bayonet.

Leaning over and supporting the ground with both hands, Qian Xiaobao was ready to go.

The train was getting closer and closer, and now the rattling of the wheels on the rails could be clearly heard.

The ground is also shaking constantly.

Qian Xiaobao was like a rock on all fours, motionless.

The train is finally here!A wave of air blew up the snow and slammed it on Qian Xiaobao's body and face.There was even a suction pulling Qian Xiaobao towards the train.

Qian Xiaobao got up abruptly and ran in the same direction as the train.

He stretched his legs and grabbed the handrail of the iron ladder on the locomotive quilt with both hands, and climbed up three times.

Turning around after hearing the noise, the train driver and the coal stoker were surprised to see a ghostly figure appearing in front of them.

Qian Xiaobao didn't care when he saw these two people.His eyes were still searching nervously.

Soon he took off the bayonet biting in his mouth with his hand and rushed towards the coal bunker behind!

On the pile of coal in the bunker a man was sleeping under his coat.There was also a two-foot-long rifle barrel protruding from the outside of the coat.

Qian Xiaobao grabbed the coat with one hand and pulled it violently, while the other hand holding the bayonet had already swung it.

The driver and the fireman, who were watching all this in astonishment, trembled all over without feeling it.

The man who was sleeping on the coal pile was a dead body in an instant.

Qian Xiaobao turned around without stopping and asked sharply: "Is this the only one?"

"Also, there is another one, resting behind the wood stack at the rear of the car." The fireman stammered.

"Hurry up and add coal, increase the speed!" Qian Xiaobao ordered sharply.

"It can't be faster, it's a detour, and the train will derail." The fireman replied.

"Tell you to hurry up, hurry up! What a lot of nonsense!" Qian Xiaobao pointed at him with a bayonet.

"Stop talking, hurry up and add coal." The train driver said on the side.

He is old and has experienced many things.After hearing what Qian Xiaobao said, he immediately understood that Qian Xiaobao meant to derail the train.

The fireman stopped talking, bent over and threw coal into the boiler one spade at a time.

Taking advantage of this gap, Qian Xiaobao put the overcoat on himself.He picked up the rifle and looked again.

This rifle is not a [-]-style rifle but a Han Linchun-style rifle originally used by Fengjun.In [-], a large number of Fengjun weapons fell into the hands of the Japanese.What the Japanese army can't use is just for the armed guards of these Japanese companies in Manchuria.

He groped around on the dead man for a while, and found a document written all over Japanese, and some Japanese currency and Manchukuo sheep notes.

It is obvious that the speed of the train is getting faster and faster.The engine driver and fireman were also growing restless.

If the train derailed now it would be rushing into the forest.Jumping or not jumping is dangerous.

Qian Xiaobao handed the banknotes in his hand to the fireman and said, "You two will share the money. Jump out of the car now!"

Now the train driver and fireman have fully understood what Qian Xiaobao does.

The two of them obediently went to the stairs and climbed down one by one to jump off the train.When the train driver finally jumped off the train, he nodded and smiled at Qian Xiaobao.

Qian Xiaobao bent down, picked up the shovel, quickly added dozens of shovels of coal into the boiler, and then slowly descended the iron ladder.

Throw the rifle off the train and face in, grab the handrail with both hands, and use your legs a little.Qian Xiaobao easily picked himself back from the train.

Taking advantage of the momentum, he rolled two times on the snow to relieve his strength, and Qian Xiaobao got up all at once.He watched the runaway train rumble away.

Looking back, the two people who jumped out of the car just now could not be seen in the night.

After finding the rifle and putting it on his back again, Qian Xiaobao trotted along the track at a leisurely pace.

Will this train keep going like this without derailment?Qian Xiaobao thought while running.

The train traveling at an unusual speed on the winding mountain track quickly disappeared from Qian Xiaobao's vision.

But Qian Xiaobao didn't give up, he still trot along the railroad tracks.

Ten minutes later, Qian Xiaobao finally heard the voice he wanted to hear.

A muffled whirring sound came from the front.The train must have derailed and got into a deep mountain forest!
Qian Xiaobao spread his legs and ran wildly.

The impenetrable forest that was originally crowded by big trees and shrubs was forced out of a long and narrow passage by the train.

Clouds of hot air rose into the sky.This is the hot gas leaking from the boiler of the locomotive.

The little train lay like a marijuana flower in the woods.Logs one meter thick were strewn all over the woods.

I heard there was another person at the end of the train.

Qian Xiaobao stopped his pace and slowly walked along the gap made by the train in the forest.

Now when the locomotive came out, the dewy chirping sound could not be heard.

Qian Xiaobao observed for a while but did not find a single figure.

"Wadaxi——, Aha oil——"

What these two sentences mean in Japanese, Qian Xiaobao doesn't know.The only thing he understands is Sayunara.But he also knew that it was not appropriate to say Sayunara at this time.

"Here..., here..."

Finally got a response.Qian Xiaobao heard a blunt cry for help from the woods.

Qian Xiaobao carefully touched the bayonet in his hand.

A log weighed down the man's legs.He lay on the ground looking at Qian Xiaobao who came out of the shadows like a ghost.

"here!"

Then there was a string of Japanese that Qian Xiaobao couldn't understand.

"Here? Do you mean here, or here?" Qian Xiaobao asked, pointing to his neck and chest.

Then he stabbed down fiercely with the bayonet in his hand.
