Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

On the twenty-seventh day of the first lunar month, the third day after Zhou Weihan spoke with Si Neiyong.

Handan was an important town for the Japanese army along the Ping-Han route, and there were not a few Japanese troops passing by every day.

Terauchi Yong specially selected a military train from the Jingxing mining area in Shimen to the south to transport the bullet production line.

The Eighth Route Army generally hijacked Japanese military columns, naturally avoiding the strongholds and stations along the Japanese railways, and doing their work in remote and uninhabited places.

But Zhou Weihan and Si Neiyong, these two guys, chose to take a slanted sword and did not take the usual path.

At this time, the Japanese military column was stopping at the train station outside Handan City to add water, and Isamu Terauchi ordered Watanabe to send additional manpower to load the disassembled bullet production line in the station into the last few vacant carriages of the military column.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" Watanabe shouted to the workers in charge of transportation in the station.

These days, Western countries already have cranes for reloading heavy cargo, and Japan also has them, but Handan does not have such machines.

The disassembled machines were not light, so the workers in the station could only work in groups of a few, chanting slogans, their faces flushed from suffocation, their heads steaming, and slowly lifting them into the carriages with poles.

Dong Jiang frowned at the scene in front of him, but he didn't say anything. The workers rely on their strength to eat, so they can support their families with this job.

Next, a strange scene appeared in the station.

A lieutenant officer in gendarmerie uniform, with a smiling face, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for another Japanese second lieutenant in a fawning manner.

"Dong Jun, please don't worry, we won't waste time!" Seeing Dong Jiang frowning, Watanabe quickly explained.

Dong Jiang glanced at his watch, and then said: "Mr. Watanabe, have the entourage of this military column figured it out?"

"I figured it out, it's the guys from the Manchurian Railway. Apart from the [-]-man crew, the guards on the military ranks only have a [-]-member expatriate escort team, whose combat effectiveness is far inferior to the soldiers of the Imperial Army!" Du Bian said disdainfully.

The richest institution in Japan in China is none other than Manchurian Railway. The full name of Manchurian Railway is: South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd.

China Northeast Railway is monopolized by "Manchurian Railway". In addition to the main operation of railways, there are also enterprises and institutions such as ship repair and manufacturing, coal mines, iron mines, other metal mines, oil manufacturing, iron manufacturing, post and telecommunications industries, and hotels and restaurants. , bathhouses and other service industries.

In addition to economic institutions, there are administrative institutions, military, police, cultural institutions, schools, etc. inside.

After the July [-]th Incident, its North China Affairs Bureau was renamed North China Communications Co., Ltd., and its Xingzhong Company became North China Development Co., Ltd., which became the main organization for Japan to plunder the resources of North China.

Therefore, the coal resources mined in the Jingxing mining area have always been controlled by him and transported to the various occupied areas of the Japanese army by railway.

The railway is full of money, and this military train is more luxurious than ordinary Japanese military trains. Behind the front locomotive, there are three special carriages for escorts and a dining carriage, and the rear is the carriage for coal.

As Dong Jiang and Watanabe were talking, a devil in a black uniform trotted over from a long distance from the military column.

"Watanabe-kun, long time no see!"

"Yeah, Xi Sen-kun, I haven't seen you for some days!"

"I went back to China some time ago, and I just came back a week ago!"

"Yo Xi, the treatment you get from Manchuria is good, and you can even take a family leave from time to time, unlike us military officers and soldiers!" Watanabe said enviously.

"Watanabe-kun, you have worked hard!" Ryota Nishimori bowed respectfully.

As for ordinary Japanese soldiers, Ryota Nishimori, an insider of the Manchurian Railway, looked down upon him, but Watanabe was the captain of the gendarmerie in Handan, and he held great power, so he couldn't help but curry favor with him.

"Nishimori-kun, let me introduce you. This is Arai-kun who is in charge of escorting the equipment. I will trouble you this time!" Watanabe introduced Dong Jiang to Nishimori Ryota.

"Hey, this is what we should do!" Nishimori Ryota finished speaking, and looked at Dong Jiang aside: "Arai-kun has a handsome figure, which is really rare among imperial soldiers!"

Then he turned to the reconnaissance company lined up, and a trace of doubt flashed in Ryota Nishisen's eyes: "What about them?"

"Mr. Xi Sen, don't make a fuss. The new masters are all transferred from Ryukyu. Naturally, they are different from the local soldiers, but they are all warriors of the empire!"

After Nishimori Ryota finished listening, there was an undisguised look of disdain on his face.

After a long time, the packed equipment in the station was loaded.

With a wave of Dong Jiang's hand, more than a hundred soldiers of the reconnaissance company disguised as the Japanese army were divided into two groups. One group entered the closed carriage for escort, and the other group marched in line and entered the third carriage in turn.

On Watanabe's side, he immediately used the phone in the station to report to Isamu Terauchi.

"Brigade Commander, they have boarded the car and everything is normal!"

Terauchiyong on the other end of the phone could obviously hear the whistle of the train, and couldn't help laughing: "Yo Xi!" Terauchiyong then dialed the number leading to Yanwang Mountain.

On Mount Yama.

Zhao Gang stayed alone in Zhou Weihan's office, staring intently at the red phone on the table.

Suddenly the phone rang, Zhao Gang picked up the phone: "Hello!"

"Everything is normal, the train has set off!" Then came a blind voice.

"Xiao Li, immediately tell the telegraph operator to send a report to the radio station of the Ninety-Fourth Division. The train has departed from Handan!"

At this time, Zhou Weihan was near Shuiye Town at the junction of Linbei and Anyang, and with him was the supplementary regiment stationed in Linbei from the Tainan Second Division.

The 280th Regiment of Yang Han in Linnan was also mobilized by Zhou Weihan in the name of the winter military training. This part is divided into two directions, one arrives in the due east direction, at the junction of Lin County and Tangyin, and the other is arranged in the southeast of Lin County direction of Qi County.

At the same time, under the leadership of Tan Lin, the first and fourth regiments of the Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Region have also set out, trying to launch an offensive in the east of Anyang.

After multiple relays, the news quickly reached Zhou Weihan.

"Great, pass my order, the supplementary regiment, the 280th regiment, the first regiment, and the fourth regiment will launch an attack immediately. The bigger the momentum, the better!" Zhou Weihan immediately ordered.

According to the agreement between Zhou Weihan and Si Neiyong, the hijacking of the military column could not take place in the territory of Handan, and the military column was less than [-] miles away from the destination of Anyang on the Zhanghe Bridge, which was the dividing line between the two Japanese troops.

Therefore, in order to ensure that he can get the bullet production line, Zhou Weihan went to great lengths to fight. Don't look at Zhou Weihan's movement is so big, but it is a feint attack, which makes the battlefield deception tactics.

The real killer moves are still in the reconnaissance company and the special forces team. At the same time, there are two regiments and one Cixian backbone regiment to assist them in their operations.

On the military column, Dong Jiang watched the train slowly enter Ci County, and calculated the time bit by bit according to the speed of the train.
