Chapter 552 Departure!

"Battalion Commander, the devil's convoy is 5 miles away from us!"

The scout's voice came from the walkie-talkie, and the correspondent immediately reported the situation to Battalion Commander Wang.

Battalion Commander Wang narrowed his eyes, and according to the speed of the devil's train, the devil's train would reach the ambush area in at most 5 minutes.

Immediately, Battalion Commander Wang looked at the correspondent: "Contact the telegraph soldier and ask if the order from the regiment headquarters has come down?"

After a while, the correspondent put down the walkie-talkie and responded: "The telegraph soldier responded that our radio station kept in touch with the regiment headquarters, but did not receive a telegram from the regiment headquarters."

Battalion Commander Wang nodded and chose to continue waiting.

After about 4 minutes, there was a sound of pitting and gnawing in my ears, and Battalion Commander Wang held up his binoculars to look.

I saw a heavy armored train first appearing in the field of vision of the telescope. This is the first time Battalion Commander Wang has seen this heavy armored train. It looks like a steel behemoth, with the barrel of a 105mm caliber howitzer protruding from the turret.

One look at this thing is very difficult to mess with.

However, Wang Faming had already ordered the engineers to bury enough explosives on the rails in advance to deal with this big guy.

In addition, Wang Ming also arranged 10 bazookas and 10 cannons to deal with it.

After all, the firepower of this thing is not generally powerful, and it is also protective.

Although the firepower of this heavy-duty armored train is strong, in this canyon terrain, the Eighth Route Army has buried explosives in advance and has continuous strong firepower output, so it can only be passively beaten.

Soon, the heavy armored train drove into the ambush area of ​​the two battalions of the new regiment.

Followed by.

The devil's military column appeared in sight, and Wang Faming stared closely at the devil's military column, but most of the carriages had iron sheets, and even the carriages without iron sheets were wrapped in tarpaulins, so it was hard to see if there were cannons inside.

Then the devil's second train entered the ambush area of ​​the Eighth Route Army.

"Old Wang, why haven't you issued an attack order?"

"The devil is about to slip away!"

Zhao Youliang asked in the walkie-talkie.

The heads of the 5th and 6th regiments are also inquiring.

The devil's heavy armored train is about to drive out of the ambush range, and the opportunity will never come again.

Battalion Commander Wang didn't reply, he was holding the walkie-talkie tightly in his hand, but until now, the order from the regiment headquarters has not yet come down.

To fight or not to fight?
If you fight, but there is no order from the regiment headquarters, if you don't fight, the devil's heavy artillery unit is likely to slip away from under your nose.

At this moment, the correspondent in charge of the high-power walkie-talkie answered the call, and then reported to Battalion Commander Wang: "Report to the battalion commander, the order from the regiment headquarters has come down!"

"To fight or not to fight?" Battalion Commander Wang Faming asked hurriedly.

The correspondent immediately replied: "The order from the regiment headquarters is to open the gates and release the water!"

Wang Faming immediately took the high-power walkie-talkie, and said in a deep voice: "This is the headquarters, pass my order, let the devils march over, don't fight!"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Youliang asked in the walkie-talkie: "Is it an order from the regiment headquarters?"

Wang Faming: "That's right, an order from the regiment headquarters!"

After finishing speaking, Wang Faming sat down on the ground in the headquarters, panting heavily, and found that there was cold sweat streaming down his forehead.

Since it was an order from the regiment headquarters, Zhao Youliang didn't dare to say anything more, and then the battalions and regiment leaders issued orders to the commanders and fighters to let the devils go.

Fortunately, those who participated in the ambush were all troops with rich combat experience.

If the ambush troops were exposed because a recruit fired nervously, that would be a big deal.

Not long after, a heavy armored train and two army trains of the devils drove out of the ambush circle, and their figures and voices disappeared quickly.

After half an hour, after confirming that the surrounding area was safe, Battalion Commander Zhao Youliang brought the soldiers of the Seventh Battalion over from the opposite hill to join the Sixth Battalion.

"What's the situation? Why did the regiment headquarters let the devil's heavy artillery unit go? Could it be that the regiment leader and political commissar want to do something on Tongpu Road?"

As soon as he saw Wang Fafa, Zhao Youliang couldn't wait to ask.

"I don't know either." Zhao Youliang shook his head, "The regimental headquarters sent code words, and did not convey the reason."

Since it takes time to send and receive telegrams, Chief of Staff Wang directly ordered the telegraph operator to convey the order to Liu Ying's telegraph soldiers in code words.

Of course, the telegram is more reliable, but with code words and dialects, there is no need to worry about being discovered by devils.

"Maybe, this convoy is fake?" Zhao Youliang quickly thought of the second floor.

"It's possible!" Wang Faming nodded.

Afterwards, Wang Faming took the battalions and regiments back to the scheduled ambush point and continued to wait for orders from the regiment headquarters.

At this time, the telegraph soldiers had already received a telegram from the regiment headquarters, saying that this was a fake heavy artillery convoy and ordering them to continue waiting for orders.

After reading the telegram, Wang Faming was greatly relieved.

Will lose an order, and the army will die.

It's true that not everyone can be a teacher.

Fortunately, he stabilized and did not issue an attack order, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

……

Peiping.

Iron Lion Alley.

North China Front Army Command.

"Reporting to the commander, the Banner Armored Train and the 2 Army Columns arrived at Datong Station 15 minutes ago!"

The communications staff bowed to report to Neji Okamura.

"Oh? Has the convoy arrived in Datong?"

Neiji Okamura, who was staring at the map on the wall, turned around and looked at the watch on his hand.

Calculating the time, the fake convoy at this point is indeed the time to arrive at Datong Station.

Neiji Okamura asked, "Did the convoy encounter any abnormal situation on the road?"

"This..." the communications officer said, "The armored train Banfeng did not report on this situation."

After a pause, the communications staff said again: "Commander, Commander Takahashi Mitsuzo and Commander Yamashita Makoto at Zhangjiakou Station asked again, when will they be able to go to the battlefield?"

Neiji Okamura waved his hand and said, "Don't pay attention to them, you can go down first."

"Hi!"

The communications staff officer bowed his head, turned and left.

After the communications staff left, Okamura Ningji's eyes behind his glasses narrowed, and his eyes suddenly became deep.

Isn't there a spy lurking in the North China Front Army?
Arisue Seizo must know when the heavy artillery convoy departed from Beiping Station.

It is more than 300 kilometers from Beiping to Datong along Pingsui Road, plus the time the convoy stops at each station, it is easy to calculate the time when the convoy arrives at Datong Station.

The convoy was not ambushed on the way, which means that the spy probably wasn't Deputy Chief of Staff Yusue Seizo.

Could it be that the spy at the North China Front Army Command is Chief of Staff Moritake Tanabe?

There is another person who is more suspicious, and that is Shinichi Suzuki, the communication staff officer who went to Northwest Shanxi with Moritake Tanabe.

Suzuki Shinichi knew the whereabouts of Miyano Michiichi, but Suzuki Shinichi didn't know about the fishing plan.

Neiji Okamura fell into deep thought. Recently, he suffered from insomnia. He lay on the bed at night and rolled over, thinking hard about who is the spy lurking beside him.

Yusue Seizo was indeed his biggest suspect, but the arrival of the Hatagaze armored train in Datong made the suspicion of Yusue Seizo much smaller.

Early the next morning.

Neiji Okamura called the communications staff and asked him to order the armored train Banfeng to return to Zhangjiakou and escort the heavy artillery unit to Datong with the armored train Chasing Wind.

It was already afternoon when the Banner armored train arrived at Zhangjiakou at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, Ningji Okamura suddenly ordered the convoy to start from Zhangjiakou.

Zhangjiakou is about 180 kilometers away from Datong, and it will take at least 6 hours according to the speed of the convoy.

After waking up, the 5th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 3rd Infantry Regiment had already arrived in Datong.

Okamura Ningji is quite confident, this time the information will not be leaked, right?
……

The moment Okamura Ningji ordered the real heavy artillery convoy to set off, Chen Feng, who was far away in the northwest of Shanxi, immediately received a system prompt.

Immediately, Yan Shuangying was arranged to receive a telegram.

He took the telegram and walked into the regiment headquarters. Li Yunlong was on duty during the war, Xing Zhiguo went to the No. [-] battalion for a night investigation, and Zhao Gang and Chief of Staff Wang were sleeping in the room.

"Brother Chen still up so late?"

With the help of the yellow light emitted by the weak oil lamp, Li Yunlong saw Chen Feng walking in, with a surprised tone.

"Sleeping and waking up again." Chen Feng handed the telegram to Li Yunlong, "The devil's heavy artillery unit and infantry unit departed from Zhangjiakou Station and are expected to arrive at Datong Station at 8:[-] tomorrow morning."

"In addition, the devils also added a heavy armored train escort."

"Oh?" Li Yunlong took the telegram from Chen Feng, sat in front of the oil lamp and looked at it carefully, with a slight grin on his lips.

It is refreshing to fight with intelligence. This feeling that all the important actions of the enemy are under control makes Commander Li feel wonderful.

Chen Feng added: "Every time a Type [-] armored train is destroyed, it can be considered a business."

The devils did not produce many Type [-] armored trains, and if one is lost, there will be one less. Every time one is destroyed, the devils' control over the railway will be weakened.

"Oh?" Speaking of this, Li Yunlong was no longer sleepy, and quickly asked, "What's the price for destroying such an armored train?"

"We can discuss the price again," Chen Feng said.

"Okay!" The corner of Li Yunlong's mouth couldn't help but grinned. Boss Chen has always been generous in his actions, and the price for destroying the devil's heavy armored train must be very good.

Although the ambush troops are not equipped with 75mm mountain guns and howitzers, the sixth and seventh divisions are equipped with a lot of bazooka rocket launchers.

In the terrain of Miaoergou, the bazooka hit the devil's heavy armored train, just like a father hitting a son.

Immediately, Li Yunlong went to the communication room next door and asked the telegraph soldier on duty to send the message to the ambush troops according to the contents of the message given by Boss Chen.
