Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

I was sitting in a military train and was escorted by an infantry battalion. Could the guerrillas still dare to attack me?

"General, the guerrillas nearby are a detachment of Li Yunlong's independent column. Their leader is Shen Quan. He is very cunning and is known as Little Li Yunlong."

"cunning?"

"Hayi, they will replace the rails with wooden tracks to attack the Empire's trains."

"Railroad tracks reflect light, but do wooden tracks also reflect light?"

After hearing this, the Japanese captain beside him immediately bowed and said, "Ha Yi, this Shen Quan is very cunning. He coated the wooden tracks with something that can also reflect light. Our train has suffered several losses..."

Hearing this, Matsui Ishi was stunned for a moment before he spoke: "Humph, these are just some petty tricks that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. In a head-on battle, these people would be like a group of insects, and would scatter in a swarm!"

"Hayi, His Excellency the General is right."

Wait until the Japanese captain leaves.

Matsui Ishigen picked up the book and continued reading. Soon, the train chef came to the carriage where Matsui Ishigen was again.

"General, it's almost time for dinner. What would you like to eat?"

Matsui Ishigeng put down his book, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's have hot pot. The beef and mutton for lunch today are good. Is that the beef and mutton they brought from China?"

Upon hearing this, the cook immediately bent down and said, "Hayi, General, these beef and mutton were provided by the Mengjiang garrison. Although the beef and mutton from the Sino-Mengjiang region may not be as delicious as local meat, they still have their own unique flavor."

Matsui Ishi nodded in agreement, and the cook tactfully stopped talking.

About half an hour later, the sky began to darken, and the hot pot was brought to Matsui Ishigeng: "General, Datong has prepared a geisha for you. She can perform for you a show from her hometown. Do you need it?"

When Matsui Ishizeng heard this, his eyes lit up: "That's thoughtful. Let them come in and play."

"Hayi!"

Soon, a Japanese woman with several layers of putty on her face entered the carriage in a kimono. When she saw Matsui Ishige, she immediately bowed and saluted.

"Sakura song party?"

Two geishas knelt on the ground, their faces almost touching the floor. "General, we will sing."

"just sing!"

"Hayi!"

The two geishas took out their musical instruments, and a cherry blossom song floated in the carriage along with the ghost-like voice of the Japanese geisha.

"Sakura! Sakura!"

"In late spring, the sky is about to dawn,"

"The rosy glow makes the flowers smile,"

"White clouds rise from the vast sky,"

"..."

Matsui Ishi was even more satisfied as he beat the beat to the song, occasionally taking a bite of meat, drinking a sip of sake, and humming along with satisfaction.

Just when Matsui Ishi was happily eating hot pot and singing, the train suddenly stopped.

Chapter 290 Shen Quan: Hit me!

Without Matsui Ishige asking, a Japanese major entered Matsui Ishige's carriage.

"General, the exploratory train ahead has been attacked by the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. We will stop here for a while and continue on our way after we have dealt with the Eighth Route Army guerrillas."

Matsui Ishizeng frowned slightly. "How dare the Eighth Route Army here attack the military train in broad daylight?"

"Ha Yi, we've already entered the area around Mount Wutai. The 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army and part of Li Yunlong's Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Independent Column are active here. After Datong was captured, a lot of supplies fell into their hands. They're very well-equipped."

Matsui Ishizeng snorted coldly after hearing this: "Humph, Kuroda Shigenori is a piece of trash!"

He waved his hand to signal the major to leave the car and continued eating hot pot and singing.

The front car was located three kilometers away from the military train that Matsui Ishisuke was riding.

The railroad tracks were directly blown up, and the train stopped urgently and parked on the railway. Then the Japanese soldiers came down to check the situation and prepare to repair the railway.

This train was specially used to explore the route for Matsui Ishigen's military train. In addition to soldiers from an infantry battalion, there were also railway maintenance workers on the train. These workers got off the train holding the rails and prepared to repair the railway. The Japanese on the train were also looking around, looking for traces of the enemy.

"put!"

At an artillery position about one kilometer away from the railway, ten mortars were aimed at the train parked on the tracks.

With Zhou Daye's order, mortar shells flew towards the train.

"boom!"

"boom"

"boom……"

A series of explosions sounded around the train, and some shells fell on the Japanese reconnaissance train.

"Enemy attack!"

After confirming the landing point of the shells, the Japanese soldiers on the carriage quickly jumped off the train from the other side, preparing to use the train as cover to counterattack.

But on the other side, thirty grenade launchers were aimed at the other side of the train.

Feng Chengwen, deputy commander of the third detachment, watched the Japanese soldiers rushing off the train one after another, and lay beside the railway tracks and wiped his nose with his hand.

"Captain, shall we fight?"

"Wait a little longer, the Japanese artillery hasn't come down yet. Let's kill them first. Our grenade launchers have a short range. If we can't kill them, we'll be the ones to get blown up!"

"Yes!"

It didn't take long before several Japanese soldiers rushed out of the carriage holding mortar parts and quickly began to assemble the mortars. Then, Japanese soldiers holding mortars also rushed out from several surrounding carriages and quickly assembled the mortars.

"Captain, the Japanese artillery is coming out!"

"I see. Comrades, get ready. Attack the Japanese artillery first!"

"Yes!"

Thirty grenade launchers quickly adjusted their shooting angles, not seeking accuracy but only requiring fire coverage.

"These little devils, how dare they go out? They don't even check the lunar calendar to see what day it is, and they are so anxious to give gifts to our commander!"

Shen Quan lay on the ground and observed the Japanese army column not far away.

Military trains are different from ordinary trains. They have been specially reinforced. A cannon is installed at the front and rear of the train, and there are various shooting holes. They are much more difficult to attack than ordinary trains.

Especially now that the train is parked in an open area, there are not many shelters around. Because we are in a hurry and did not bring the Type 92 infantry gun, the mortar cannot fire against the artillery at the front and rear of the military train.

If you rush up with a rocket launcher, you may suffer considerable casualties in the open area of ​​more than 300 meters.

"Captain, there's a fight ahead!"

Hearing the sound of gunfire three kilometers away, Shen Quan instantly became alert: "Comrades, prepare for battle. There must be a high-ranking Japanese official on this train. We only have one mission today, to capture the high-ranking Japanese official and send him to the commander as a wedding gift. Shoot him!"

Following Shen Quan's order, the soldiers ambushing on both sides of the train began shooting at the Japanese army train.

Bullets kept hitting the train, but because it had been specially reinforced, the bullets could not penetrate the iron sheet of the train.

However, they were able to break the windows of the Japanese train.

But soon, iron plates were lowered from the windows of the train, blocking the shooting angle.

"retreat!"

Shen Quan took a look at the military train in front of him that had lowered the iron plate, and gave the order without hesitation.

"Captain, are we retreating now?"

"You're a monk! If you don't retreat, you'll be bombed! Hurry up! The cannons at the front and rear of the little devil's car are already aiming at us!"

After hearing Shen Quan's order, the ambushing team immediately retreated to the rear. Not long after they retreated, the two artillery pieces at the head and tail of the military train fired at the location where the ambushing troops were located.

If the retreat had been delayed by just a few seconds, many soldiers would have died.

After retreating a few hundred meters, Shen Quan immediately said, "Let the first company send people to continue harassing them, and then use a few mortars to bomb them and make some noise!"

"Yes!"

After giving the order, Shen Quan immediately led his men to change their clothes and put on the uniforms of the puppet army and the Japanese devils.

Then he immediately ran away.

The battle lasted intermittently for about ten minutes. Shen Quan's troops had been harassing the military train, but failed to pose any threat to the train. Apart from the bullets hitting the iron sheets, which only helped Matsui Ishigaki, there was no progress.

"Hasn't the train ahead dealt with the Eighth Route Army yet?"

"Hayi, the battle is still going on, but it will be over soon!"

Hearing this, Matsui Ishigen waved his hand, signaling the major to leave, and continued to enjoy the performance of the two geishas. Accompanied by the gunshots outside the train, Matsui Ishigen felt that it was a unique experience.

Behind the military train, dozens of people in khaki military uniforms were rushing towards the train along the railway.

The Japanese at the rear of the vehicle immediately moved the muzzles of their guns and rifles and aimed over there.

However, no shots were fired. They only saw people coming towards the rear of the car, wearing the uniforms of the Japanese and puppet soldiers, rushing towards them in a panic.

After hearing the gunshots, many people were so frightened that they immediately fell to the ground and did not move. They only stood up after making sure that they were not shot.

A few Japanese soldiers were stronger than them and were dressed fairly neatly. When they heard the gunshots, they immediately raised their guns to look for targets and kicked the puppet soldiers lying on the ground.

"Are these our reinforcements?"

A Japanese soldier asked a sergeant beside him.

"They should be the Imperial Army and Imperial Warriors from the stronghold we just passed."

"So that's how it is. These Imperial Army soldiers are really useless. The sound of gunfire scared them to the ground."

"They've arrived just in time. We can have them search both sides to find out where the Chinese who ambushed us are."

At this time, Shen Quan, wearing a Japanese military uniform, led his men to watch the approaching Japanese train and immediately whispered, "Is the bazooka ready?"

"Ready!"

"Hide well, don't let the Japanese find you. Fire all five rockets at once and blow this turtle shell of the Japanese apart!"

"Yes!"

As the distance got closer, the supporting Japanese soldiers and the Imperial Army performed more and more vigorously. Some even pretended to be shot and fell to the ground, laughing at the Japanese soldiers in the rear of the train.
