Devil's Army

Chapter 687: Joint Operation of the Two Armies

After the Jinzhou Japanese retreated to Jinzhou, the 113rd Regiment of the st Brigade surrounded the east gate of Jinzhou again. After paying the price of a Seto Battalion and two squadrons of the th Battalion, the Japanese returned to the starting point.

A few months after Nanjiro took office, the Second Anti-Japanese Allied Forces operating around Xinjing were surrounded and attacked by the Japanese invaders, suffered heavy losses and were forced to relocate.

The underground party also stepped up its intelligence gathering on Nanjiro.

Commander Minamijiro secured his position and began to consider sending additional troops to Fengtian and Jinzhou to break the blockade of the devil troops.

On this day, the underground party hidden in the Xinjing railway system sent a piece of intelligence: Commander Minami Jiro will arrange an army train of soldiers to reinforce Fengtian at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

The Second Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces had just moved to the outskirts of Xinjing and joined forces with Commander Yang of the First Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces.

Commander Yang analyzed that Jinzhou had been surrounded by the First Anti-Japanese Army for two months, and Fengtian and Jinzhou had also fought with the First Anti-Japanese Army several times, all ending in failure. They would definitely ask Xinjing for help. This army train of reinforcements was undoubtedly aimed at the First Anti-Japanese Army.

Commander Yang decided to help the First Anti-Japanese Army and prevent the Japanese in this army train from reinforcing Fengtian or Jinzhou.

Since Nan Jiro took office, the Second Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces has been besieged and attacked by the Japanese many times, and it decided to vent its anger.

The two anti-Japanese allied forces decided to take joint action to prevent the Japanese from reinforcing Fengtian or Jinzhou.

After analysis, it was found that the enemy forces in Xinjing were relatively strong, while the enemy forces in Siping to the south were relatively weak. The First Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces decided to deal with the enemy forces coming from Xinjing, while the Second Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces would deal with the enemy forces coming from Siping.

Commander Yang chose a hillside as the battlefield, where he blocked the Japanese from high to low, waiting for an opportunity to retreat into the mountains.

In the early morning of that day, the two troops quietly arrived near their destination.

A Japanese patrol was patrolling the railway line. The Anti-Japanese United Army lay nearby and waited quietly for the patrol to leave.

After the patrol left, Commander Yang left two companies to prepare to attack the military train from the left side of the railway. Commander Wang of the Second Army of the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces left a company on the right side of the railway to prepare to attack the military train. The others prepared to block the Japanese from Siping.

It was just dawn and it was still early for the Japanese troops to arrive.

The weather in Xinjing in early spring was still very cold. The Second Anti-Japanese Allied Forces, which were constantly on the move, were short of supplies and had much thinner clothing.

It was still early, so Commander Wang and Commander Yang got together to chat, and the topic naturally fell on the First Anti-Japanese Army.

When Commander Wang heard Commander Yang say that the First Anti-Japanese Army had surrounded the Japanese in Jinzhou and was ready to take Jinzhou at any time, he could not help but feel envious. They were being driven around by the Japanese, while the brother troops already had their own base and could calmly surround a city occupied by the Japanese. Now they even had their own navy.

Commander Wang also had the idea of ​​learning some experience from the First Anti-Japanese Army.

Commander Wang asked Commander Yang, "Brother Jing, when can you take me to the base of the First Anti-Japanese Army so that I can learn some experience?"

"It would be good for you to visit the base of the First Anti-Japanese Army to expand your horizons. Some of their weapons are unheard of, and their combat thinking is also advanced. But I am really embarrassed to go there again. Every time I go there, he replenishes a lot of supplies for me."

"It's good to replenish supplies. You see, I'm short of food, clothes and ammunition. Others think we are a beggar army."

"Is this the main reason why you want to visit the base of the First Anti-Japanese Army?" Commander Yang asked with a smile.

Commander Wang smiled and said “hehe” without commenting.

"They have a weapon called 40 rockets, which are very useful for hitting targets within 200 meters. They can hit the enemy's tanks and bunkers accurately. If they are used to attack this military train, it will be even more powerful."

"Why didn't you bring two doors?"

"That's a new weapon they developed. It's very precious. How can I ask him for it? And I heard from them that if a rocket soldier dies on the battlefield and the 40 rocket launcher cannot be retrieved, they have to find a way to blow it up to prevent it from falling into the hands of the Japanese. If you go over, see if you can find a way to get a few for me."

"Given your relationship with them, you are too embarrassed to ask him for it, so how can I ask him for it?"

"You are more shameless than me." After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and laughed.

After observation, Commander Yang found that it took about forty minutes for this Japanese patrol team on the railway to complete a patrol.

It was almost nine o'clock and the Japanese patrol had just left. Commander Yang immediately ordered his soldiers to take action.

A team of soldiers immediately rushed to the section of railway at the tunnel entrance. Several soldiers squatted down to tighten the screws of the rails, and several soldiers used iron rods to prepare to pull the rails.

As soon as the soldier unscrewed the screws of the rail, several other soldiers immediately moved the rail with iron rods.

More than half an hour later, the rumble of a train came from the tunnel. The soldiers stared at the tunnel entrance nervously.

A Japanese military train rushed out of the tunnel, and then the body of the train shook violently, then rushed out of the rails and overturned on the open space on the right.
