Chapter 181: Robbery on the Japanese Train
"Commander, even if the independent column eats meat every other day, it is still a luxury for the entire army." Qi Tongwei said with emotion.
Anyway, Qi Tongwei had never seen any unit that could provide such good food as the Independent Column. It was simply too good. If other brother units knew about it, they would be envious to death.
In the war years, supplies were scarce and it was very good to have enough food, let alone meat. Many Eighth Route Army soldiers could only eat a little meat during the Chinese New Year.
"Political Commissar, let's go in and eat." Gaoda pulled Qi Tongwei into the cafeteria.
After they prepared their meal and sat at the table, Gaoda said to Qi Tongwei.
"Tongwei, the situation of the Independent Column is different from that of other troops. Soldiers have to undergo very high-intensity training every day. If they cannot ensure sufficient meat intake, the soldiers will not be able to withstand it. Therefore, the Independent Column has opened its own farm, where many big fat pigs are raised."
Qi Tongwei nodded slightly. No wonder the independent column was able to destroy the devil's Fourth Brigade. In addition to the advantage in weapons and equipment, the soldiers' physical strength and combat effectiveness were also very strong. As the saying goes, only when you are full can you have the strength to fight.
After finishing their meal, the two returned to their respective rooms to rest.
..............
The next day.
Gaoda got up early in the morning and went to Qi Tongwei's room.
"Political Commissar, are you up? Today I will take you to the independent column to take a look around and understand the situation." Gaoda shouted outside.
"Coming, coming, Commander, I'll be right out."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Tongwei straightened his military uniform, opened the door and walked out.
"Political Commissar, today is your first day in office. I will take you to learn about the situation of each unit."
Gao Da and Qi Tongwei rode on horseback to inspect the various troops. In one morning, they visited the three brigades of the independent column.
When Qi Tongwei saw the weapons and equipment of the independent column, he fell silent.
Before coming to the Independent Column, he had heard that the Independent Column's weapons and equipment were very good, but he did not expect them to be so powerful.
From his observation, every soldier of the independent column was carrying a semi-automatic rifle, and the light and heavy machine guns in the camp were placed in rows, which was extremely shocking to see.
Especially when he saw the scale of the artillery regiment's weapons and equipment, he could not believe what he saw.
He saw no less than 40 infantry guns in the entire artillery regiment, not to mention a strange weapon. Anyway, he didn't recognize it, but he thought it would be powerful. Adding together all the miscellaneous guns, the entire regiment had no less than a hundred guns.
It is no exaggeration to say that the number of cannons in the artillery regiment of the Independent Column is greater than that of the entire Eighth Route Army. The most important thing is that the Independent Column has two artillery regiments. The firepower of this level is even more powerful than that of the Central Army!
"Commander, today really broadened my horizons. The weapons and equipment of our independent column are very impressive in the entire army." Qi Tongwei said with emotion.
Gundam smiled and said, "Hahaha, Political Commissar, this is just a small scene, a small scene. In the future, the independent column will have more advanced weapons and equipment."
.........................
Two days later.
Gundam received news that the Japanese would have a train loaded with supplies departing from Taiyuan to Beijing.
He planned to seize this Japanese train so that he could put the tank drawings, equipment and other things in the space into the Japanese train carriage.
Gundam called the monk to the headquarters.
"Monk, there is a Japanese train that will depart from Taiyuan Railway Station to Peking tonight. I plan to rob it halfway."
"You will set out with me this afternoon with the special forces battalion, and load all our trucks with supplies."
"Yes, Commander. I will go back and make preparations immediately."
After receiving the order, the monk turned and left the command center.
5 pm.
Gaoda led the special forces battalion from Lijiazhuang to the Zhengtai Railway 60 kilometers away. They would wait for the arrival of the Japanese along the railway.
at the same time.
Inside the Taiyuan Railway Station, a train loaded with military supplies was parked at the station.
The entire train station was under martial law, with Japanese soldiers standing guard everywhere.
Suddenly, a large group of Japanese soldiers came onto the platform with a trailer carrying about ten large boxes. They carefully moved the sealed boxes into the carriage.
There was nothing else in the entire carriage except for about 10 large boxes. Each box was firmly secured, which showed that the contents were extremely valuable.
After the Japanese put all the large boxes into the carriage, a squadron of Japanese escorts began to board the train one after another.
After everything was done, the Japanese train started to set off.
Although the Japanese squadron leader in charge of the escort did not know what exactly they were escorting, he was determined that there must not be any problems.
It was already pitch dark around 8 o'clock in the evening.
Gaoda led the special forces battalion and lay on a small hill along the Zhengtai Railway waiting for the arrival of the Japanese train.
As everyone was anxiously waiting, the Japanese train slowly approached from a distance.
"Commander, the Japanese train is coming." Wei Dayong whispered beside Gaoda.
"I saw it, monk. After forcing the train to stop, you and your men will attack the train directly." Gundam ordered.
"Yes, Commander."
A few minutes later, when the Japanese train came to 100 meters in front of the explosion site, the soldiers of the special forces battalion detonated the bomb without hesitation.
"boom."
A violent explosion was heard and the railroad tracks were broken on the spot.
When the Japanese train driver saw the tracks ahead being blown up, he immediately applied emergency brakes.
The Japanese soldiers in the train carriage were awakened by the sudden explosion.
The Japanese squadron leader's face changed drastically, he stood up from his chair and shouted loudly.
"Enemy attack, everyone prepare for battle immediately."
"Bagya Road!"
"It's the railway guerrillas again. Everyone, don't get off the train."
The Japanese soldiers in the carriage immediately picked up their weapons, looked for cover and prepared for battle.
Gundam said to the monk after seeing the train slowly stop.
"Monk, lead your men to attack immediately."
"Attention everyone in the special forces battalion, get on with it."
After saying that, the monk led the soldiers of the special forces battalion and rushed towards the Japanese train.
The Japanese soldiers on the train looked outside nervously, but it was pitch black outside and they couldn't see anything, so they couldn't see what was going on outside.
When the soldiers of the special forces battalion came to 50 meters away from the Japanese train, they could already clearly see the situation inside the carriage.
There were lights in the Japanese carriage, so everyone could see very clearly.
