Heroes of the War of Resistance

Chapter Table of Contents Chapter [-] Forced to stop the train!

The Zhongxing Coal Mine, which was built in the Guangxu period, is known as the earliest national capital coal mine in China.Because of the excellent quality of the coal produced by the mine, Zhongxing Coal Mine also has the reputation of "Zhongxing Coal Mine Company is the only competitor that can compete with foreign coal".

It is precisely because of the excellent quality of coal in Zhongxing Coal Mine that it has become a piece of fat in the eyes of many greedy people.After the founding of the Republic of China, Zhongxing Coal Mine was also regarded as an important main coal mining area, with thousands of miners stationed there.

Such a mine that could produce high-quality coal would naturally not be easily let go by the Japanese army, which desperately needed coal resources.When Zaozhuang was occupied, the Japanese army sent a force, fearing that the government would blow it up, so they sent troops to forcibly take it over and occupy it.

In fact, Lao Jiang also thought about sending someone to blow up the coal mine earlier.The problem is that once this coal mine that has been mined for many years is blown up, the cost of rebuilding it will also be enormous.As a result, in the end, the matter of mine explosion had to be left alone.

According to the information provided by the military command, Hu Biao, who had stayed in Yicheng earlier, felt that Zaozhuang was relatively close to Yicheng.In addition, Zaozhuang's strategic location is extremely important, and it is also one of the important railway hubs. It is necessary to bury a nail here.

With these coal mines, Hu Biao believed that the Japanese army would not give up the occupation.Even if Hu Biao blows up the coal mine, the Japanese army will spend a lot of money to repair it later.But for Hu Biao, Hu Biao hadn't really thought about bombing coal mines.

If the coal buried in the ground is burned to form an underground fire, the consequences will be extremely serious.Hu Biao thinks it is still possible not to bomb coal mines, but to bomb those production equipment and mine mouths.To rebuild, the little devil had to bring in mining equipment.

After rescuing the prisoners of war in the mine, and blowing up the mine equipment, the wellhead, and the coal railway, the little devil wants to resume the production of the coal mine. In addition to spending huge manpower and material resources, he also needs to invest a lot of money in reconstruction.

Compared with building, Hu Biao thinks it is easier to destroy.The next time the little devil rebuilds the coal mine, Hu Biao will come and loot it again.All in all, if the little devil wants to steal coal mines smoothly, that is wishful thinking.

Although Zaozhuang has been actually controlled by the Japanese army, in order to ensure the safety of the mine, the Japanese troops stationed in the coal mine still implemented a relatively strict defense system.In addition to mine safety, the railway used to transport coal is also important.

According to the results of Xu Sandao's earlier reconnaissance, every time the little devil's patrol team would march along the railway line for an hour, and then the patrol team would return.It takes about two hours to patrol back and forth.

At night, the patrol will come and go twice, once in the first half of the night and once in the second half of the night.During the day, the little devil will still send patrols along the railway to ensure that the railway line is not damaged, and set up no-entry signs along the way.

The people in the vicinity, if they approached the railway rashly and were seen by the patrolling devils, they might be shot and killed by the devils.As far as the little devils are concerned, they don't care whether the people are intentional or not, as long as they dare to approach them, they dare to shoot.

Perhaps in the eyes of most little devils, the lives of ordinary people in China are of little importance.Under such strict military control measures, the little devil believed that the people nearby would also know not to approach the railway.Over time, the little devil can save a lot of trouble.

Hu Biao and his party were lurking on the edge of the railway, quietly waiting for the arrival of the patrol team.For Hu Biao, he hoped to meet the patrol first, rather than the coal train that might appear at any time.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Hu Biao pulled his troops to the railway side to ambush in the evening.After lurking with the bow and crossbow team for nearly half an hour, the flashlight that appeared in front of them instantly cheered up everyone's mood.

Hu Biao, who was lying in the grass, also said at the right time: "Shut up! Move your hands and feet and prepare to strike!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The crossbowman who was lying in the grass with Hu Biao also started to move his wrist, took out the special warfare crossbow wrapped in the raincoat, pulled out the crossbow arrows he was carrying, and installed it.Then continue to lurk in the dark, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Japanese patrol.

The crossbow team has conducted ambushes like this many times.Although the situation tonight is somewhat different from the past.However, their lurking position, which is closer to the railway, is also more conducive to their aiming and killing targets.

Unaware of the imminent danger, the Japanese patrol team cursed the weather tonight, and with the flashlight in their hands, they swept to the dark places on both sides of the railway from time to time.Some Japanese soldiers walking on the railroad tracks also complained that patrolling was meaningless.

Listening to the complaints of the soldiers, the sergeant who led the team reminded from time to time: "Be vigilant! Without persistent patrols, how can we ensure the safety of the mine. You know, our current position is not peaceful.

The mine is still tens of kilometers away from the city. Once a large army attacks the mine, how long can the troops stationed in the mine last?Coming out to patrol now is also to ensure our own safety, understand? "

"Yes, Sergeant!"

Hu Biao, who was lurking in the dark, was not surprised when he heard the conversation of the Japanese soldiers in the patrol team.Under normal circumstances, the patrol team is not allowed to speak freely while on duty, as it is easy to expose the patrol team's location in advance.

But a group of people walking on such a cold railway line, if they don't find something to talk to, it will be somewhat boring.From the patrol attitude of the Japanese patrol, Hu Biao could see that the Japanese patrol seemed relatively relaxed.

On the battlefield, even in the area controlled by the Japanese army, the behavior of these Japanese troops still seemed a bit stupid.It's just that for people like Hu Biao, he hopes that there will be as many stupid Japanese troops as possible, so that it will be easier to kill them.

Looking at the little devils chatting all the way on the railroad tracks, and the crossbowmen lurking in the dark, they are ready to shoot at any time.The sharp crossbow arrows are aimed at those little devils walking on the railroad tracks with flashlights, ready to kill them at any time.

The little devil, who had no idea that the god of death was about to come, continued to shoot back and forth in the dark on both sides of the railway as before.More flashlights are used for lighting.From the point of view of the little devil, no one would want to come out in this kind of weather.

Just when this group of little devils was imagining, they hurriedly finished the patrol road, and then returned to the mining area to take a rest.Hu Biao aimed at the little devil who was walking in the front, and said in a low voice: "Shoot!"

The deep voice, even under the cover of rain, still made the little devil on the move look sideways.Just as they moved the flashlights, trying to find the place where the sound came from, they saw a faint light approaching in an instant.

The sergeant who led the team only came in time to shout out the words "enemy, uh", and the flashlight in his hand fell to the ground immediately.Clutching the crossbow bolt stuck in his throat with both hands, he fell to the edge of the railway track like a rag doll, and then rolled down to the roadbed.

The crossbowman who was in charge of shooting the little devil jumped up from the hidden ground when he shot the sharp arrow on the crossbow.He rushed to the railway, took out the little devil who was still struggling and howling, took out the saber he was carrying, and killed him, and then dragged the body to the side of the railway.

"Clean the battlefield! Prepare to wait for the little devil's train! Let a small team pretend to be a patrol team to continue patrolling!"

"Yes, Captain!"

After dealing with the little devil's patrol team, Hu Biao also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.After cleaning the battlefield, Hu Biao came to a corner of the railway and asked people to pile up some rocks and logs on the railway track behind him.

Holding the red cloth prepared in advance, I stood on the railway and waited quietly.In order to force the moving train to stop, Hu Biao used this method of urgently stopping the train to prevent the train from moving forward, and by the way led the little devil who was escorting the train out of the carriage.

The team members lurking nearby are ready for close combat at any time.The crossbow team is also the main force in this battle.If possible, Hu Biao hopes to get rid of the little devil who is responsible for escorting the train without using a gun.

Perhaps because of the rain tonight, the little devil train was expected to arrive a little later.Listening to the approaching train, Hu Biao, who was standing on the railroad track, immediately said: "Squad one, start clearing the roadblocks, and the rest of the team is lurking, watch my gestures!"

Following Hu Biao's order, the rest of the combat team quickly lurked near the railway.Standing on the railway, Hu Biao, holding a flashlight and a red cloth, calculated the best place to force the little devil's train to stop.

Fortunately, most of the trains are not fast these days, and Hu Biao would not dare to do so if they were replaced by high-speed trains or EMU trains of later generations.Before the driver noticed his figure, Hu Biao was probably knocked flying by the high-speed train.

With the flashlight in his hand, he kept drawing circles at the locomotive, raised the red cloth with one hand, and waved it constantly. Hu Biao, who looked anxious, still shouted: "Stop! Stop! There is a car ahead! Barricades! There are barricades ahead!"

The driver in charge of driving the train looked at the flashlight in front of the car and the bright red cloth.Although he couldn't understand what Hu Biao was talking about, judging from Hu Biao's clothes and expression, the train driver knew something had happened.

Another driver staying in the cab quickly saw the soldiers clearing the roadblock in the rain ahead, and immediately said, "Brake quickly! There are roadblocks ahead! Brake quickly! There are roadblocks ahead!"

Be aware of the moving train, once it touches a roadblock, it is very likely to face the danger of derailment.Perhaps it was because the patrol team found the roadblock that they rushed to stop the moving train.

Feeling very lucky, the train driver slowed down and tightened the brakes of the train without saying a word.The moving train soon made an emergency stop and entered a taxiing state.The Japanese army team in charge of escorting the car was also staggered by the sudden change.

"Baga! What happened! Prepare to fight!"

Although it is not clear what happened, the Japanese army team in charge of escorting the car quickly prepared for battle.After opening the door, I soon saw Hu Biao who was talking to the train driver, and a dozen Japanese soldiers who were clearing the roadblocks.

The second lieutenant of the Japanese army who led the team quickly stepped forward and said, "What happened?"

"Your Excellency, Second Lieutenant! When our team was patrolling, we found a large number of roadblocks piled up in front of us. For safety reasons, I stopped the train from moving forward. Please rest assured, Second Lieutenant, we will be able to clear the roadblocks soon."

Hu Biao, who was wearing a military uniform, still showed great respect for the second lieutenant who appeared.At the same time, Hu Biao also saw the Japanese army squad in charge of escorting the carriages stepping out of the carriages one after another and began to guard the surrounding area.

Seeing the little devil walking out of the carriage, Hu Biao also knew the task of seizing the coal mine this time, and took another big step forward to success.After getting rid of this Japanese army team, the remaining task of capturing the coal mine will become relatively easier!

Chapter Directory Chapter [-] Winning the Train

In order to ensure that the coal is mined, it can be transported to the place where it is needed in the first time.The Zhongxing Coal Mine, located in Zaozhuang, specially built a branch line connecting the Dangjin-Pu Railway, which was rare in the Republic of China.

Compared with the coal mined by other domestic coal mines, most of which are sold in the domestic market, the coal of Zhongxing Coal Mine is mostly used for export.After the Japanese army occupied the coal mine, the railway dedicated to the coal mine was also controlled and used by the Japanese army.

A large amount of coal mined from the mining area every day will be piled up on the cargo yard of the mine.When the coal train arrives, the miners responsible for loading the train will push the coal piled in the freight yard into the coal loading compartment pulled by the train.

Originally, according to Hu Biao's idea, if the little devil's train could not be forced to stop, they would jump into the empty carriages when the train turned and slowed down.While waiting for the train to stop at the coal mine, raid the little devils on guard at the freight yard.

I deliberately picked a rainy weather because, apart from the railway, the road conditions leading to the mine are still quite bad.If it rains, the little devils stationed in Zaozhuang will come to reinforce them, and they will be much slower than usual.

As for walking, it takes more time.In this way, enough time will be left for Hu Biao to attack.The successful stop of the train this time means that it will be easier for Hu Biao to take over the coal mines stationed by the Japanese army than before.
