: Cutting out the roots (Second update)

Huang Yu wouldn't doubt that this incident was caused by internal fighting among the Japanese army.

In his eyes, the Japanese army has strict military discipline, and even if there are conflicts between teams, they are kept private and will not be brought to light, let alone the safety of the troops due to conflicts.

After thinking about it for a long time and unable to think of the reason, Huang Yu decided to take another look.

There is no airtight wall in the world. As long as you keep an eye on every move of the Japanese and puppet troops in Baoding, you can always find some clues.

Seeing that Duan Peng gave a serious order: "Continue to monitor every move of the Japanese troops in Baoding, especially Fujita and Kawasaki."

"I always feel that there are some unknown conspiracies hidden behind Fujita's ability to continue to secure his position as commander of the garrison."

"If you find out about this conspiracy, you might be able to catch the little devil's weak spot and hit him even as hard as he can."

"Other troops continue to stand still..."

"We seized a lot of canned goods last night, and with the dry food brought out from the base, we can hold on for seven or eight days without any problem."

"No troops can expose their targets without my permission."

"In case of exposure, we can only act as railway guerrillas."

…………

At the Japanese Brigade Headquarters in Baoding, Major General Fujita was called to the room by Major General Kawasaki and several regimental commanders early in the morning.

The chief of staff of the brigade had a very relaxed expression, and he could not see the tension and panic he felt when the military column was attacked last night.

"Your Excellency General..."

"After investigation, it was determined that the enemy who attacked the military column was not the Eighth Route Army in Yinzhong."

"They are railway guerrillas formed by the local armed forces of the Eighth Route Army."

"Specially attack our military columns and destroy railway lines."

Major General Kawasaki always believed that the main culprit of the attack on the military column was the Yizhong Eighth Route Army.

He immediately showed a suspicious expression and asked: "It's impossible..."

"Absolutely impossible..."

"There are more than a hundred escort troops on the military column, equipped with a large number of light and heavy machine guns."

"The carriage they are in is also equipped with two short cannons to attack sneak attackers from a long distance."

"Under normal circumstances, even a reinforced battalion of the Eighth Route Army cannot threaten their safety."

"But the escorting troops on the military column were all destroyed."

"Not even a single bullet was fired, and more than a hundred soldiers were inexplicably wiped out."

"I don't believe that a guerrilla army can have such strong combat effectiveness."

"You must be mistaken."

"The railway guerrillas are probably a cover used by the Yizhong Eighth Route Army to confuse us."

"Everyone must not believe it."

The chief of staff was convinced of the investigation results at hand and looked at Major General Kawasaki's answer with certainty.

"General..."

"There is evidence here."

"Although the military escort troops lost more than a hundred people."

"But there were really only a few dozen enemies who attacked them."

"They were very skilled. They took advantage of the military train to slow down as it climbed the slope and climbed onto the front of the vehicle first to control the speed."

"While covering, more soldiers climbed onto the train and took the ambush path on the roof to escort the troops above their heads."

"Sudden attack."

"Put the grenade into the shooting hole and kill the escort troops in large numbers."

"As a result, many soldiers in the carriage were killed without even seeing their opponents' faces."

"The battle is over before I even have time to get started with the equipped rifle machine gun."

"After seizing the train, they drove the train forward and drove all the way to the battlefield before retreating with the loot."

"There is a road parallel to the railway on the battlefield."

"Confirmed from the marks left on the battlefield."

"The railway guerrillas prepared a large number of large vehicles and civilians in advance and hid on both sides of the highway."

"As soon as the military column arrived, the loot was transferred to the cart and quickly evacuated from the battlefield."

What the chief of staff said was reasonable and well-founded, and he also presented a lot of evidence. Most people in the room, including Major General Fujita, believed it.

But Major General Kawasaki still insisted that the railway guerrillas were a cover used by the Eighth Route Army to confuse them.

But he couldn't produce any evidence and wanted to see Major General Fujita continue to make a fool of himself on this matter, so he decisively chose to shut up.

Facing the silent subordinates, Major General Fujita just assumed that these people recognized the chief of staff's report just now, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth, saying happily.

"Since the enemy who sneak-attacked the military column is not the main force of the Eighth Route Army in Yinzhong, we don't need to worry too much."

"No matter how powerful the railway guerrillas are, they only have a few dozen people."

"The mobile strength of a large group is enough to deal with them."

"Let the mobile brigade be on standby at any time."

"All checkpoints and gun towers along railways and highways will be on heightened alert, and railway guerrillas will be reported immediately if they are discovered."

"Only by catching them all in one go can we avoid another attack on the line."

…………

At 11 o'clock in the evening the next day, the special forces, acting as railway guerrillas, once again captured a military column.

Perhaps it was because the Japanese army had stepped up their vigilance to guard against the railway guerrillas, so the battle went particularly poorly at the beginning.

In addition to the three Japanese and traitors responsible for driving the train, there were also three Japanese soldiers hidden in the front of the steam locomotive.

Suddenly appear from the corner and engage in melee combat.

They are from the Kwantung Army, and their individual combat effectiveness is very strong.

Although the special forces team was also very powerful, they were caught off guard.

He only took the front of the car at the cost of one death and one injury.

The firing hole in the carriage where the escorting troops were located was also temporarily blocked, making it impossible to directly insert grenades into the carriage.

The special forces had no choice but to use their guns.

First block the shooting hole with bullets to prevent the enemy from getting close, and then throw grenades inside.

A series of accidents caused the battle to not end on time.

When the military column was only 400 meters away from the next post, the last Japanese escort escort was eliminated.

The two sides were too close to each other, and even though the roar of the train suppressed most of the exchange of fire, the Japanese at the outpost still sensed the danger.

Duan Peng drove the military column quickly through the outpost and rushed to the scheduled connection point.

The fifty carts there have been prepared, and the military trains can be transferred and captured, and they can be evacuated from the battlefield within twenty minutes, leaving the Japanese reinforcements empty.

This is Duan Peng's planned battle plan.

But plans can't keep up with changes.

When the garrison at the outpost noticed that an accident occurred in the military column, it reported it to the brigade headquarters.

The two mobile squadrons immediately rushed out of Baoding and followed the armored train towards them, intending to intercept and kill the railway guerrillas halfway.

"Captain, the railroad in front of us has been blocked by little Japs with sandbags, making it impossible to pass." The team member driving the military column said anxiously.

"The raid on the army column took too long and was discovered by the Japanese and puppet troops at the outpost..." Duan Peng instantly figured out the loopholes in his previous action.

He glanced at the carriage behind him and said with a look of reluctance: "It's a pity that there are weapons, ammunition and supplies in the carriage, otherwise we could have emptied at least four carriages."

"The troops immediately abandoned the vehicle and crashed the military column into the roadblock at high speed, detonating the front of the vehicle and destroying the weapons, ammunition and supplies behind it."

"What we can't get, even the little devils can't get it."

After saying that, he took the lead and jumped out of the car, quickly gathering the other members of the commando team.

Since the little devil knew in advance that the military train was being attacked, it must have been more than just blocking the train.

"Rumble..."

A thunderous explosion suddenly sounded behind them.
