Chapter 135: Lice Multiply Until They Don’t Itch
Heyuan Japanese Gendarmerie
“Captain, the situation is bad.”
The confidant walked over and reported to Fujita Ichi in a serious tone: “Just now, a request for reinforcements came from the Third Regiment side, saying that Jin Sui Army 358 Regiment suddenly sent out troops and brazenly attacked into their jurisdiction. Their defensive line was quickly breached, and the military situation is extremely urgent!”
“Baka, this damned Chu Yunfei, he’s just a defeated general of the Third Regiment, and now that he sees the Third Regiment on the decline, he comes out to pick on them like an old lady eating persimmons, truly shameless!” Fujita Ichi immediately cursed.
“Captain, should we send a message to the troops drawn from the Third Regiment and have them go back…” the confidant asked.
“Baka, we absolutely cannot let them go back, our railway and military train are the most important!” Fujita Ichi directly shook his head and interrupted.
Thinking of something, Fujita Ichi said: “Regimental Commander Kuroshima’s reinforcements are heading to Zhangjia Village, and they will pass through the Third Regiment jurisdiction, right?”
“Yes.” The confidant nodded and said, “According to the time, Regimental Commander Kuroshima should have arrived in the Third Regiment jurisdiction by now…”
The confidant’s words were not finished when someone immediately came to report: “Captain, just now news came that Regimental Commander Kuroshima has engaged in battle with Jin Sui Army 358 Regiment in the Third Regiment’s jurisdiction.”
“Baka, why is Kuroshima Morita fighting with Chu Yunfei?” Fujita Ichi listened and said solemnly, “How could Regimental Commander Kuroshima fail to discern the priorities.”
Even if you, Kuroshima Morita, arrived in the Third Regiment jurisdiction, you saw Chu Yunfei there.
You cannot pass through the Third Regiment jurisdiction, and you should not fight with Chu Yunfei.
You should take a detour to reinforce Zhangjia Village, you cannot delay here with Chu Yunfei.
“It seems Chu Yunfei saw Regimental Commander Kuroshima appear, Chu Yunfei took the initiative to attack, Regimental Commander Kuroshima had already suffered two losses at Chu Yunfei’s hands, and with this attack from Chu Yunfei, Regimental Commander Kuroshima probably couldn’t control himself.” The person explained.
“Baka!” Fujita Ichi smashed his fist on the table and angrily rebuked, “Immediately send a telegram to Regimental Commander Kuroshima, remind him to absolutely not let Chu Yunfei delay the time, have him quickly disengage from the battle. We can’t even contact Zhangjia Village now, it cannot be delayed.”
The strongholds near Zhangjia Village have all gone to reinforce.
But up to now, the reinforcement troops from these strongholds have all vanished without a trace, no news.
Even the two armored trains that went to reinforce have no news.
Although there are large numbers of troops from other places hurrying over, due to the distance, many won’t arrive until dawn.
The most hateful thing is.
Some reinforcements that could arrive before dawn have been contained by other Chinese troops.
There are Jin Sui Army’s, there are Direct Line Army’s, and of course, there are Eighth Route Army.
This time, these Chinese troops have suddenly united unprecedentedly, which is really unexpected.
These Chinese troops superficially form a united front, but when fighting, the Direct Line Army pits the Jin Sui Army, the Jin Sui Army pits the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army hides in the mountains.
This time, they actually twisted into one rope, which is really not a good sign.
“Hai!” The person hurriedly went to send the telegram.
“Baka, these damned Eighth Route Army!” Fujita Ichi heavily pounded the table, his emotions angry but mixed with some helplessness.
Kuroshima Morita fighting with Chu Yunfei, and Chu Yunfei striking first, that means.
Even if Kuroshima Morita sobers up, regains reason, and wants to disengage and take a detour, it probably won’t be that easy.
Not only Kuroshima Morita, all directions’ reinforcements are contained, Zhangjia Village probably can’t be saved.
Now, we must prepare for the worst.
Hopefully the Eighth Route Army will show some mercy, remove only a section of railway, not destroy the trains too badly, same for the armored trains, hopefully they can still be repaired.
As for the grain snatched by the Eighth Route Army, that’s definitely hopeless.
The very last point!
The ashes of these fallen soldiers are certainly useless to the Eighth Route Army, hope they can still respect the dead.
Otherwise, this matter will definitely cause an uproar.
……
Ding Wei followed Li Yunlong halfway, they had already left the 129 Division jurisdiction, that side was the 120 Division jurisdiction.
The jurisdictions of the two divisions are adjacent after all, just a few steps away.
Ding Wei couldn’t help but ask suspiciously: “Old Li, you didn’t take the wrong road, did you? That side is the 120 Division jurisdiction.”
Facing Ding Wei’s questioning, Li Yunlong said seriously: “No mistake, we’re going exactly to the 120 Division jurisdiction. There’s a Yuehua Station on the Japanese invaders’ Jingtai Line, and the station warehouse there is our target.”
Ding Wei was stunned upon hearing this: “Old Li, doing this, the 120 Division side will probably say we’re overstepping boundaries, right?”
“Old Ding, what you said is wrong!” Li Yunlong corrected righteously, “Are the Japanese invaders here raised by their 120 Division family, that I can’t hit them? Besides, earlier their 120 Division’s Gao Liujin also came over to our side. What’s that, he Gao Liujin can overstep boundaries, but I can’t?”
Mentioning this, Li Yunlong got annoyed and angry.
The iron smelting plant in the Third Regiment jurisdiction would have been his for the taking sooner or later, even without Gao Liujin meddling.
Damn it, with Gao Liujin this bastard meddling, he took away thirty Hell Cannon shells, really pissing me off!
Right!
This kid still owes me two Hell Cannon shells, if I see this kid, I must get those two shells back!
“That’s right, that’s right.” Ding Wei nodded in agreement.
Why can they come to our side, but we can’t go to theirs.
“Haha.” Seeing Ding Wei’s attitude, Li Yunlong laughed: “The brigade commander had you kid follow me out to work, it really suits my temper. Whatever happens, you Old Ding stand on my side.”
“Old Li, there’s still a problem.” Ding Wei said.
“What problem?”
“If we attack Yuehua Station, drawing the Japanese invaders’ reinforcement troops to the 120 Division side, won’t that increase the pressure on the 120 Division side?”
“Old Ding, if the Japanese invaders’ reinforcement troops really come here, then Old Zhang and the others will be even safer, isn’t that what we want!” Li Yunlong said seriously, “As for drawing the Japanese invaders here, do you think the 120 Division side has no preparations?”
We’re attacking the Jingtai Line to snatch the Japanese invaders’ military train, not only our division headquarters will cooperate.
Even the adjacent 120 Division and 115 Division will be notified, everyone will make corresponding preparations.
“I’m just worried, if on this side…” Ding Wei’s words were not finished.
Li Yunlong interrupted: “If I’m not wrong, that bastard Gao Liujin might even take the opportunity to stir things up, he might actively draw the Japanese invaders over himself, we don’t need to worry.”
“That’s true.”
Lice too many don’t itch, debts too many don’t worry.
By then Gao Liujin stirring things up drawing many Japanese invaders’ reinforcement troops here won’t make much difference from the ones we attract.
……
Li Yunlong’s guess was correct, 120 Division’s Gao Liujin at this time was leading troops and had already attacked another section of the Jingtai Line railway.
Although Gao Liujin had no accurate military train intelligence source and didn’t know exactly when the military train would pass.
But for Gao Liujin, this was no problem.
He had sent people in advance to high ground to observe.
Seeing the Japanese invaders’ military train coming, after receiving the signal, Gao Liujin estimated the time.
Then decisively began shelling.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
……
The Hell Cannon roared, the bunkers and gun towers along the line were easily destroyed.
The approaching military train was also forced to stop by Gao Liujin with one shell destroying the railway.
Seeing the military train forced to stop, Gao Liujin laughed: “Hahaha, did you all see that? Snatching the Japanese invaders’ military train is nothing more than this. Rush up quickly, first quickly take out the escort soldiers, then see what feast Old Heaven has given us!”
As long as this meal is good, I’ll surpass Li Yunlong.
Gao Liujin’s troops quickly surged from the roadside onto the railway.
But nightmare suddenly descended at this moment!
Gao Liujin didn’t expect that Old Heaven not only didn’t give a feast, but dug a big pit for him!
The carriage doors of this military train opened, revealing the Japanese invaders’ dark muzzles inside.
Light machine guns, heavy machine guns, and Type 38 Rifles, these light and heavy firepower immediately rained down on Gao Liujin’s troops.
Immediately sweeping down many of Gao Liujin’s troops, the remaining soldiers could only scramble and crawl into the ditch.
Many were cursing:
“Damn it, how come this military train is full of Japanese invaders armed to the teeth.”
“Our first time snatching a military train, and we kicked an iron plate.”
“Damn, our luck is too bad.”
……
“Regiment Commander, our luck is too rotten, this seems to be the Japanese invaders’ troop transport vehicle.” The deputy regiment commander saw the troops suffer considerable casualties, cursing Old Heaven’s eighteen generations in his heart.
Snatching the Japanese invaders’ troop transport vehicle, this must be reinforcements for the railway near Zhangjia Village on the 129 Division side.
Looking at this firepower, at least one battalion.
“Damn it, even if it’s the little Japanese invaders’ troop transport vehicle, I still have to snatch it!”
Gao Liujin gritted his teeth and immediately maneuvered the Hell Cannon to aim at one of the carriages.
Boom!
The Hell Cannon fired.
This shell hit very accurately, striking the middle of one carriage.
The Japanese invaders inside the carriage were densely packed, this one shot immediately killed half, the rest wailed and scrambled to escape the carriage.
But on this open railway, these Japanese invaders jumping down immediately became lice on a bald head, greeted in return by the Eighth Route Army soldiers rolled into the ditch, rapidly reducing their numbers.
“See that? These little Japanese invaders staying in the carriage is a living coffin, coming down they’re targets, that’s how we hit them!” Gao Liujin roared, immediately aiming at the next carriage.
“Regiment Commander, when we set out, the brigade commander only gave ten shells.” The deputy regiment commander reminded from the side, “Seven were used to strike bunkers and gun towers, one to force stop the Japanese invaders’ military train, you just used one to bombard the carriage, we now only have one shell left.”
If shells were still plentiful, Gao Liujin’s tactics would have no problem.
If the little Japanese invaders don’t leave the carriage, bomb the carriage, trap them alive inside.
If these little Japanese invaders leave the carriage, the soldiers kill them on the spot.
Once we use up this last shell, if the little Japanese invaders discover we have no more shells, they stay in the carriage using the carriage steel plates as cover, our Border Region Manufacturing bullets can’t penetrate, we can’t trouble them.
Of course, this carriage steel plate can still be penetrated by heavy machine guns.
Heavy machine gun bullets have strong penetration, high kinetic energy.
Sweeping at this carriage, the Japanese invaders inside are fish meat on the chopping board, one sweep takes out a bunch.
But our heavy machine gun has no ammunition left, used up last time fighting the Third Regiment.
The arsenal can’t make heavy machine gun bullets either, can only sigh.
As for our Czech light machine guns, limited penetration against steel plates, can’t do anything to the Japanese invaders’ carriage steel plates.
“Damn it!” Gao Liujin upon hearing this, angrily could only temporarily give up firing the last shell.
In this state now, firing this last shell wouldn’t mean much.
Better to save it, use at the critical moment.
Hateful, our infantry gun shells are gone too.
Sigh, not enough shells, this battle is really frustrating.
If shells were plentiful, I’d wrap up all the Japanese invaders in this train!
