Chapter 44 Chapter 9 The sun bathes in blood (3)

4 At the Luowangzhai Railway Station outside Kaifeng, the fierce battle also reached a fever pitch. According to the analysis of the Chinese command, Doihara is likely to concentrate the main force of the division to fight Lanfeng, and the Luowangzhai Railway Station is only a diversionary position and will not invest too many troops.Therefore, the Chinese army successively invested two main divisions in the battle, trying to wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop and regain the lost ground.But what was unexpected was that instead of shrinking the defensive circle, the Japanese army expanded its position to the surrounding village of Luowangzhai, and often launched surprise counterattacks, causing heavy casualties to the attacking troops.The headquarters was deeply anxious and confused about this. They couldn't understand why the enemy's resistance was so strong. How many troops did the enemy invest in this tiny train station?How many infantry brigades (battalions) are there?How are the positions distributed?How many cannons are there?Where are the artillery positions located?Where is the headquarters located?The enemy's unknown situation stood in front of the Chinese army like a mountain, so the special agent captain Xiao Jingang was once again ordered to sneak into the enemy's position for reconnaissance.

If the profession of a soldier is to deal with death, then scouts are dancing on the blade. The tasks they accept often hide unpredictable risks.Xiao Jingang selected two experienced scouts to carry out the mission.It was getting late, and the air was filled with the smoke of the fierce battle during the day. The scouts, led by a villager, went to a miscellaneous forest behind Luowangzhai.This place is only a few hundred meters away from the enemy's position. The villagers touched a dark pit, and then carefully lifted a stone slab, immediately revealing a hidden hole under the stone slab.

It turned out that this was an underground tunnel leading to the village. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Central Plains was infested with bandits. To avoid the bandits, the villagers dug out this secret escape route, but they did not expect it to come in handy.Xiao Jinjin led his scouts like a group of alert groundhogs. They crawled through the dark passage for more than an hour, and finally successfully entered the enemy's line, and then hid in an abandoned barn to lurk. When the morning fog dissipated and the surrounding scenery brightened up, the scouts were surprised to see that the enemy had turned the train station and the surrounding villages into a huge barracks like magic.The enemy not only built many bunkers and shooting fortifications, and connected various positions with horseshoe-shaped ring trenches, but also cunningly used the terrain to hide troops in order to launch a sudden counterattack against our army.After intense observation, the scouts recorded many of the enemy's hard-to-find fortifications and fire positions.Suddenly, two startled birds caught Xiao Jingang's attention. He noticed something strange in the bushes hundreds of meters away. He raised his binoculars and saw that there was an artillery emplacement that was very skillfully disguised and almost fooled the scouts. s eyes.And when another scout inadvertently pointed the binoculars at a low civilian house, what he saw was even more unbelievable. There was a black monster poking out of the window of the residential house. It turned out to be a sinister tank. turret.After continuous observation, Xiao Jingang came to an astonishing conclusion, that is, the enemy's strength is no less than 3,000!

At noon, the sound of guns and guns rose violently. It was a feint attack launched by our army to cooperate with the reconnaissance operation.At this time, an important enemy situation suddenly appeared, and more than a thousand enemies rumbled out of the village and entered the railway station through the trenches for support.Xiao Jingang was stunned by the scene in front of him. So many enemies emerged like underground rivers. If this was the enemy's reserve team, then including the enemies in the fortifications, the total number of Japanese troops might not be less than Four thousand people!

Xiao Jingang couldn't help being taken aback by his conclusion.That is to say, the enemy has at least reached the size of a main wing (reinforced regiment), which is much larger than the brigade mentioned in the original intelligence.The cunning enemy finally showed their fox tails. They were playing a game of cheating with the Chinese army in order to delay time and wait for the rescue.The scouts were all excited. They lay down in the barn without daring to breathe, hoping that it would get dark soon so that they could send out this important information. The daytime was so long that it seemed to stand still, and when the sun finally set in the west, a long tired figure was dragged by the trees, and an unexpected and dangerous situation suddenly appeared.

Several enemies approached the barn where the scout was hiding. The one walking in front was an officer. He was wearing a yellow woolen uniform with a bare head and a saber on his waist.Followed by guards, they carried rifles, staring around with wide, vigilant eyes.The air in the barn suddenly froze, and the scouts were all loaded with daggers in their hands. Xiao Jingang made a firm gesture to his comrades, which meant that once the target was exposed, he would fire first to destroy the enemy, cover his comrades and send the information back. .
