Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2541 The decisive moment!

Just two hours after Duanwu and others boarded the train, a small group of Japanese soldiers who were checking the sentry finally found the killed Japanese secret sentry.

The Japanese soldier on checkpoint did not delay at all and hurried back to the camp, reporting breathlessly to the highest commander here, Major Tanaka.

Major Tanaka was reclining on a simple small bed to rest.

After he arrived here, he was busy setting up defenses. After dark, he began to assign sentries to stand guard, setting up both visible and hidden sentries. He only got some sleep until late at night.

However, at this moment, he was awakened by the guard.

"What's wrong? Why are you panicking?"

Tanaka yelled loudly after waking up.

His men quickly reported: "It's bad, sir. We found that a sentry was killed during our patrol. The enemy must have broken through our blockade!"

"what?"

Tanaka was so shocked that he grabbed the guard by the collar and lost his composure.

He spent nearly 12 hours preparing the defense, and now you say that the enemy has broken through the defense line?

The guard quickly lowered his head but said nothing more.

At this time, Tanaka slowly let go of the other person's collar and sat back down again.

He knew that his men would not dare to deceive him on such matters.

In other words, a secret sentry really died and his enemy escaped from his defense zone.

He couldn't imagine how furious the commanders in his headquarters would be.

He had to remedy that quickly.

Thinking of this, he hurried to the table and used the light of the horseshoe lamp to check the map to find the direction in which the enemy might escape.

It is at least 400 kilometers from here to Laoyeling. If he reports it in time, there will definitely be a chance to stop the other party.

So he immediately began to search among the dense lines to see where their enemies would return to Laoyeling after breaking through his defense line.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a point on the map - ten kilometers to the west, a winding railway line came into view.

Tanaka's mouth curled up into a relieved smile: "Railway, it's the railway. If the enemy wants to return to Laoyeling as quickly as possible, they will definitely choose the railway."

Thinking of this, Tanaka immediately picked up the phone and called the Japanese military headquarters in Chuncheng.

"Hello, this is the Japanese Army Headquarters in Chuncheng. May I ask who this is?"

A cold and mechanical voice of the Japanese operator came from the other end of the phone.

Tanaka quickly replied: "I am Major Tanaka, there is an emergency and I need to report to the general immediately!"

"Please wait!"

The operator replied, and then started operating.

After a moment, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Major Tanaka, this is Major General Kitahara, what happened on your end?"

Tanaka took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "Report to the general, we found that a sentry was killed during our patrol. The enemy may have broken through our blockade and is fleeing towards Laoyeling."

Kitahara was furious when he heard this: "Baka! Tanaka, what the hell did you do? You let the enemy slip away right under your nose? You are neglecting your duty!"

Major Tanaka looked very nervous, but he knew that now was not the time to defend himself. He had to come up with a remedy as soon as possible, otherwise he would commit seppuku at the word of the other party. So Major Tanaka said quickly, "Yes, General, I know that I am guilty of a serious crime. But please calm down, General. I have found the possible escape route of the enemy. They are likely to choose the railway line to return to Laoyeling.

And based on the time, if they passed the defense line as soon as it got dark, they should have reached Sancai Town at the farthest.

So I request the general to immediately order the imperial army at the Sancai Town Railway Station to go out and intercept all trains that are about to arrive at Sancai Town. And all the train stations along the way must be checked. "

General Beiyuan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this. At least for now, the enemy is still within control. As long as the enemy has not left Sancai Town, there is a chance that they can be stopped.

So General Kitahara pondered for a moment, then said: "Well, your analysis makes sense. I will immediately order the imperial army at the Sancai Town Railway Station to go out and intercept all trains.

At the same time, I will issue orders to the troops at other stations to carry out the strictest inspection of all trains.

And your troops will immediately pursue in the direction of Sancai Town. You must stop all enemies in the defense zone within Sancai Town. Do you understand?"

Major Tanaka quickly responded, "Yes, General! I will do my best and will never let you down!"

After hanging up the phone, Major Tanaka immediately ordered: "Go and pass the message, everyone doesn't need to deploy defenses, we are going to Sancai Town."

"Hi!"

A guard took the order and immediately went to pass the message. Then all the Japs, some on foot, some in cars, and headed straight towards Sancai Town.

At the same time, the Japanese soldiers at Sancai Town Railway Station also received an emergency order from the headquarters. They acted quickly, blocked all entrances and exits of the railway station, and were ready for battle.

Inside the train station, under the dim light, the Japanese heads kept shaking.

They quickly set up multiple lines of defense on the platform, waiting room, and both sides of the tracks, and some Japanese even brought in sandbags.

In the square of the train station, several heavy machine guns were mounted on the roof of the train station, with the black muzzles pointed at the direction of the train and several main roads leading to the town. Once the enemy entered their shooting range, they would only need a moment to shoot their enemy into a sieve.

In addition, the Japanese also ambushed several sharpshooters.

These sharpshooters were selected from the troops.

Although their shooting skills were not as good as those of real snipers, they were undoubtedly the best in this small Sancai Town.

In order to strengthen the defense, the Japanese also set up circles of barbed wire around the railway station, making it absolutely impossible for the enemy to easily pass through these obstacles.

The traitors in the town also took quick action.

They set up checkpoints and formed patrols according to the devil's request.

The Japanese even ambushed people on all the roads leading to Laoyeling.

It can be said that Sancai Town is the town with the largest number of Japanese troops among the small towns, with two infantry squadrons, and the puppet army and detective team have about two hundred people.

So within a very short period of time, the entire Sancai Town was under martial law.

At the same time, on the train, Duanwu was distributing weapons to Liu Ge and Yingzi.

The Sixth Brother asked, "Why? Don't you have any ideas? Why are you acting like you're facing a great enemy?"

Duanwu smiled calmly and said, "We can bypass other places, but we can't bypass Sancai Town."

The Sixth Brother said, "We can get off here. Then we only need to walk another 30 kilometers to bypass Sancai Town and return to Laoyeling safely."

Duanwu shook his head: "We don't have much time."

The Sixth Brother asked in surprise: "Why is there not much time left?"

Duanwu murmured, "When I came, I pissed off the devils. Now it has been four days, and I am worried about my guerrillas. If I am not here, the devils will attack in large numbers, and the guerrillas will be in danger!"
