    Chapter 442 Along the Railway 12

    Regarding experts¡¯ conclusion that the saboteurs or the railway sabotage team carried out the explosion, the Japanese Railway Guards, who are dedicated to guarding the railway, do not think so.

    The security team believed that the location of the explosion was very close to the Eighth Route Defense Area, and their stronghold was attacked that night. They were suppressed by the unknown army using intensive firepower, so they could only defend the stronghold and could not come out for rescue.  Taking the initiative to attack the garrison was obviously different from the usual practice of the National Army's railway sabotage teams. The tactics were very close to those of the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, they believed that this time was definitely an explosion carried out by the Eighth Route Army alone.

    Sasaki's secret service also received "accurate" information through various channels. The news said that the entire Eighth Route Army from Hu's shack was dispatched that night. They mobilized a large amount of manpower and material resources and transported all the supplies on the train overnight.

    Liang Xixian also did some work in this area. He sent back some information through Liu Fengan and Liu Yunsheng, the Japanese and puppet agents who were already under his control. The news was very certain that the railway sabotage team stayed at the station that night and they did not take any action.

    Based on the above situation, Sasaki came to the conclusion that the explosion that night was carried out by the Eighth Route Army.

    Of course, some people within the enemy suggested that the methods of laying mines and explosions were similar to those of the railway sabotage teams. This time it was most likely a joint operation between the Eighth Route Army and the Ninth Detachment, but Sasaki quickly came up with his own reasons to deny this statement.

    Sasaki believes that the predecessor of the railway sabotage team was an anti-Japanese organization organized by railway workers. This force was first led by the Communist Party, but later the team was forcibly taken away by the Military Commission. Therefore, it is currently in the Eighth Route Team.  It is not unusual to have expertise in railway explosions.  Sasaki also put forward a more convincing reason, that is, although the Eighth Route Army and the National Army are friendly forces, it is absolutely impossible for the two armies to jointly fight and cooperate to the point where they are fighting as if they are the same team. This is impossible.  .

    In the end, the Japanese and puppets finally came to the conclusion that the Eighth Route Army also began to independently carry out explosions on the railway.  This conclusion is definitely not good news for the Japanese, because now that a railway sabotage team has appeared out of thin air, the security situation of the Ping-Han Railway will become even more critical.

    At this time, Liang Xixian and Liu Zhenghong, who were in Qinghe, were very happy. They drank and talked happily and congratulated each other.  This time the two armies fought side by side, and both sides got what they wanted and needed. Liang Xixian and Liu Zhenghong were very satisfied. They drank a lot of wine that day and talked a lot about sincere cooperation.

    Both sides of this railway explosion operation had something to gain, and naturally they both made detailed reports to their superiors. After receiving the report, the First War Zone sent congratulatory telegrams to both sides.

    This time a large amount of materials were seized. Liu Zhenghong and the others not only solved their own winter problems, but also transported a large amount of clothing and food to the rear. The Eighth Route Army awarded the advance battalion a commendation.  But Liang Xixian did not receive any commendation from his superiors, or even verbal praise. Instead, what he received was a severe reprimand.

    The First War Zone openly sent a congratulatory telegram to the Ninth Detachment, but then the Political Training Office of the war zone sent another confidential telegram.

    In this secret message, the commander of the war zone severely reprimanded Liang Xixian for cooperating with the Eighth Route Army and giving away food and clothing.  This message stated that allowing the Eighth Route Army to obtain these supplies was tantamount to Liang Xixian indirectly supporting the Communist Party and strengthening their strength. The consequence was that the Communist Party would easily survive the severe winter.  According to the Communist Party's ability to unite the people and create a situation, they will expand rapidly after the spring, which will be a huge threat to the national army.

    Liang Xixian was dumbfounded after getting the telegram. He really didn't expect that he would get such a result in the end.  The telegram was harshly worded, almost pointing its finger at him and scolding him for betraying the interests of the national army and subsidizing foreign parties.

    Liang Xixian felt extremely aggrieved about this telegram. He took the telegram and went around looking for people to complain, trying hard to prove that it was a meeting and everyone agreed to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army. He was just a scapegoat for everyone.  .

    At the meeting at that time, Liu Changda and others agreed and supported Liang Xixian, but this harshly worded telegram from the war zone clearly declared that this cooperation with the Eighth Route Army was wrong.  Now the war zone is very dissatisfied. Of course, others will not take the initiative to throw dirty water on him, so everyone avoids Liang Xixian for a period of time, which makes Liang Xixian extremely depressed.

    As the top officer of this unit, Li Qinglin had nothing to do with this matter. However, when he reported his merits to the war zone, Liang Xixian wanted to take all the credit. In the telegram reporting his merits, he only said that he had commanded the operation. Therefore,  Li Qinglin actually escaped criticism from his superiors.

    The successful modification of the delayed-fire detonator greatly encouraged the sabotage team members active on the railway lines in the occupied areas.  These sabotage team members are in the national civil warWhen they were in danger, they put their life and death at risk and went deep behind enemy lines to carry out multiple explosions. From time to time, there would be an explosion on each railway in the occupied area.

    The bombing operations of the railway sabotage team were mysterious and mysterious, and they dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese and puppet economy and military.  The explosions of these sabotage team members in enemy-occupied areas are not only of great military significance, but also an excellent political propaganda.  They used practical actions to tell the people that it is precisely because of this group of unyielding forces that China has not perished and China will not perish.

    In order to ensure the smooth flow of their military and economic arteries and to combat the anti-Japanese forces, the Japanese and puppets had to mobilize heavy troops to defend along the railway.  In some important areas, the Japanese and puppets forced people to build a large number of fortresses. In some areas that were frequently attacked, the Japanese forced people to cut down all the trees on both sides of the railway tracks and dig deep trenches on both sides of the roadbed.

    ¡°In some particularly important areas, the Japanese would hang lanterns along the road for lighting at night and order local people to patrol day and night. If there were another explosion on the railway in this area, these people who patrolled that night would be implicated.

    In order to crack the mines of the railway sabotage team, the Japanese explosion experts and railway experts were not idle. As long as there was an explosion, they rushed to the scene for investigation as soon as possible.

    Where there are successes, there must be mistakes, and the actions of railway sabotage teams in various places are not always successful.  Since the Japanese have strengthened their defense of the railway, some personnel on missions have been captured by mistake. After obtaining the physical detonators and combining them with oral confessions, Japanese explosion experts finally figured out the principle of delayed detonation of landmines.

    For this kind of delayed detonation mine, the Japanese railway experts immediately came up with a solution, which is to use an armored patrol car or a separate locomotive to run in front of the train to clear the way for the train behind it.  If a mine is buried under the railway track, the armored vehicle or locomotive will detonate the delayed mine first. In this way, the mine can only damage some railway tracks and roadbeds, but the vehicles clearing the way in front and the trains running behind will not be damaged.

    The two explosions in the northern section of the Ping-Han Line during this period were basically successful. The big guys thought they would be able to sit back and relax with the delayed detonators in their hands, but the next two were different. The mines they carefully laid  Although it exploded, it only damaged the railway track and did not cause substantial damage to the enemy's train, which made everyone very depressed.

    Since cooperating with the railway sabotage team to obtain a large amount of supplies, Liu Zhenghong began to pay attention to finding ways to work on the railway.  After a period of preparation, they gathered some yellow explosives and carried out an explosion. This time, based on the experience of transporting supplies last time, the Eighth Route Army once again obtained a large amount of urgently needed supplies, including guns and ammunition that they were in extremely short supply.

    There was no electric detonator on the Eighth Road side. They used artificial detonation to detonate the explosives, but they hit it with one hit and succeeded.  The big man had an advanced detonating device, but the explosion was not completely successful. It was obvious that something went wrong somewhere, and the big man and the others decided that they had to find out the whole story.

    In fact, the reason is not difficult to find out. Yan Boling and others made inquiries among the enemy, and the personnel working on the railway told the whole story. In addition, people along the way also confirmed that in recent times, there are always armored patrol cars or separate locomotives in front of the trains.  Clear the way.

    After receiving this news, Big Man and the others immediately knew that the mine had been detonated in advance by the enemy's lane-opening vehicle. In other words, their newly invented delayed detonator had been cracked by the enemy.

    Things were developing too fast. The big guys thought that it would take some time for the enemy to crack this kind of delay mine, but they didn't expect that the enemy would react so quickly. Now the railway sabotage team is forced back to the starting point.  That is to use artificial detonation on site.

    In order to blow up the locomotive, the explosive charge in the mine box buried is quite large, so the power of the explosion is amazing.  At present, there are two ways for railway sabotage teams to use artificial detonation, one is electric detonation and the other is fuse detonation. Both methods must arrange personnel on site.

    In order to ensure that they are not accidentally injured by their own landmines, the personnel detonating on-site must also be outside the explosion range, preferably behind a concealment. In this way, the selected explosion location is subject to many restrictions; artificial detonation is not as powerful as the detonator.  To generate a fire so accurately, one must also be able to accurately judge the time when the train reaches the explosion point, so it must be operated by an experienced veteran.

    Currently, there are railway sabotage teams everywhere in the occupied areas, but many of them were killed or captured by mistake. When the big man suggested using artificial detonation, Li Qinglin firmly rejected this approach.

    Li Qinglin believes that although it is important to destroy the railway, the lives of soldiers are more important. Especially these demolition team members who have participated in many operations of the demolition team are treasures to the Ninth Detachment. Li Qinglin cannot use the treasures to do this.Something dangerous.

    "Then what else can our demolition team do? Are we all idle at home?" the big man said depressedly.

    "Can't you use your brains more? Wasn't the delayed detonator invented last time by someone using their brains?" Li Qinglin said.

    Seeing what the big man wanted to say, Li Qinglin stood up and walked out. As he walked, he said: "I won't say anything else. The demolition team's operations are suspended. Let me know when you come up with a good idea."

    The big man returned to the team and conveyed Li Qinglin's words to the team members. From then on, these team members gathered together all day long to come up with ideas and solutions.  There are also some irregularities.

    On this day, Li Shicang was wandering around after lunch. Suddenly, he saw a demolition team member eating steamed buns.  Because this team member was arguing with others, he was gesticulating with one hand and holding chopsticks in the other hand. There were several steamed buns threaded together on the chopsticks.

    Seeing the chopsticks with steamed buns in the hands of the team members, Li Shicang had an idea in his mind. He picked up the team member and shouted loudly: "I have thought of a way, I have thought of a way."

    After shouting, Li Shicang left the inexplicable team member and went to find the more skilled team members to tinker with the detonator.

    After not taking action for a period of time, the team members were all exhausted. Li Shicang and the others quickly modified several detonators, and they began to take action along the railway again.

    Li Shicang's transformation was very successful this time. An enemy military train happened to pass by that night. They blew up an enemy train that night, but the armored vehicle clearing the way in front of the train was unscathed.

    Li Qinglin was very interested in Li Shicang's transformation and asked him privately what method he used. Li Shicang smiled proudly and said: "Actually, I was inspired by the team members using chopsticks to insert steamed buns. We still use  Electric detonator, but I changed the 'T'-shaped iron rod into a movable one. We did not install the iron rod after laying the mines and detonators. We only temporarily installed the iron rod before the enemy train really came over.  Go up, so that the enemy's car will not explode even if it runs a hundred times, but it will only explode when the train comes over."

    Li Qinglin gave a thumbs up and praised: "Platoon Leader Li, you have made a great contribution this time. We will send a report to the theater and ask you for credit."

    Li Shicang was so excited that his face was red, and he was about to say a few words of humility. Just then Liu Changda came in. Liu Changda suddenly said: "Commander, we have received reliable information. The Japanese have insufficient supplies this year. They are preparing to take advantage of the autumn harvest in the countryside."  Searching for food."

    When Li Shicang saw the chief of staff coming, he knew they had something serious to discuss. He saluted the two officers and went out.  Li Qinglin continued what Liu Changda said: "The devils feed war with war, and of course they will only make plans for us Chinese people. But we don't have to be afraid of them. He has his plan, and I have my ladder. We will  There are ways to deal with them.¡±

    At this point, Li Qinglin shouted to Ding Goudan outside the house: "Goudan, you immediately send people to inform everywhere, and convene a meeting with officers above the squadron leader tomorrow. Let's study how to protect the autumn harvest."  .
