"In order to make it easier for us to move, I've decided to blow up the train at Longtun."
Longtun was a place where the railway passed by.
This place had a special characteristic, which was that there was a slope, a slope from top to bottom.
Li Yunlong chose to blow up the train at Longtun, which could be said to be very smart.
Once the locomotive was blown up at Longtun, the Japanese on the train would definitely suffer heavy losses. Even if they survived, due to inertia, the locomotive would definitely rush down the slope, which could kill another wave of Japanese.
Even if some of the Japanese were lucky enough to climb out of the destroyed train, because they were at the bottom of the slope, Li Yunlong and the others had the advantage of a high slope, which could cover the transfer of resources very well.
Li Yunlong: "Because there are many Japanese and puppet soldiers nearby, we must snatch this batch of resources as quickly as possible and then quickly retreat, otherwise we will risk being surrounded like dumplings."
Zhang Dabiao and the others all nodded.
"Li Wanshan, you are familiar with the troops in Longxi Town. Choose the elite puppet soldiers from the troops and Zhang Dabiao's men to form a cover team, responsible for covering us while we snatch the resources."
Li Wanshan and Zhang Dabiao both replied, "Yes!
Captain. "
"Shen Quan, your mission is to immediately equip this batch of war horses, I want to use this batch of war horses to transport the resources."
In this era, transportation was backward, and the return to Xiao An Village from Longxi Town was mostly mountain roads, so war horses were a very good means of transportation.
Shen Quan: "Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the mission."
Li Yunlong looked at the time and said, "We don't have much time left, go down and prepare immediately."
"Yes!"
Everyone responded loudly and quickly went down to prepare for the operation.
According to the information, this train carrying resources would pass by Longxi Town at 4 pm.
It was already past noon. Li Yunlong didn't have much time left.
Everyone was actively preparing for the battle.
After a few hours of preparation, everything was ready.
Then, Li Yunlong brought the troops to Longtun.
Explosives were installed in the tracks, and everyone was lying in ambush on both sides of the railway.
Beside the railway, in the grass.
Li Yunlong was using binoculars to observe the situation of the railway.
At this time, Li Wanshan walked over and said, "Captain, the explosives are buried."
"En!" Li Yunlong looked at the time. It was 3: 45 in the afternoon.
The train would arrive in fifteen minutes.
Everything was ready except for the east wind.
Time ticked by.
Soon, it was four in the afternoon.
Everyone was ready to go.
However, the entire railway was very quiet.
Li Yunlong used his binoculars to observe the situation of the railway, but did not find any trace of a train.
After another five minutes, the railway was still quiet.
Zhang Dabiao said impatiently, "Captain, why hasn't the Japanese train arrived yet? Could it be that the information we received was wrong? Or did they cancel the shipment?"
Li Yunlong said, "Don't worry. Calm down and wait a little longer."
"If we don't see the train by 4: 30, we'll retreat."
It's normal for trains to be late.
However, this place was not suitable for them to stay for long. They definitely could not just wait here.
After another twenty minutes, there was still no train in sight.
It was 4: 20 in the afternoon.
Even Li Yunlong was starting to doubt the authenticity of the information.
Right at this moment, a whining sound came from afar …
Wu wu wu …
The train was here.
When Li Yunlong heard the faint sound of the train, he quickly picked up his binoculars and looked at the railway. He immediately saw a train in the distance approaching at high speed.
This train was not long. The first two carriages were for people, while the last six carriages were for goods.
Because there were boards on both sides of the carriages, and they were covered with black cloth, Li Yunlong could not see what goods were on the carriages.
However, since he was already here, he could not go back empty-handed. Immediately, Li Yunlong said, "Hahaha, it's finally my turn to make a fortune."
"Everyone, get ready. Act according to the plan."
All the soldiers were lying in the grass. They held their breaths and stared at the train in the distance.
It was close!
Accompanied by the whining sound, the train was getting closer and closer.
Soon, they reached the section where the explosives were buried.
Li Yunlong glanced at Wan Shan next to him and said, "Explode!"
Li Wanshan directly pressed the detonator in his hand.
The detonator was connected to the gunpowder on the railway by wire. As long as the detonator was pressed, it would immediately detonate the explosives on the railway track.
Rumble … bong bong bong bong …
In an instant, a roar of explosion rang out.
Flames soared into the sky, and the flames and smoke instantly enveloped the two carriages in front of them, blowing them up in an instant.
Under such a violent explosion, the front of the train and the carriages were blown beyond recognition. At the same time, the carriages at the back were derailed and flipped to the side of the railway track.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh … whoosh whoosh …
The front of the train that was derailed and the carriages at the back slid down due to inertia. It slid to the bottom of the slope, followed by another explosion.
The second explosion was caused by the front of the train.
Under the two explosions, the front of the train and the carriages were blown to pieces in an instant. The fire burned fiercely, emitting waves of black smoke.
Even if the Japanese soldiers inside were not dead, they would be crippled.
After the train exploded, Li Yunlong stood up and ordered loudly, "Don't leave a single one alive. Kill!"
Li Wanshan and Zhang Dabiao led the soldiers and rushed to the railway track, establishing a line of defense. At the same time, they began to patrol the carriages that were flipped over.
If there were any Japanese soldiers alive, they would shoot them directly.
Bang!
Bang!
Sporadic gunshots rang out.
Some of the Japanese soldiers in the cargo carriages had just crawled out. They did not expect to be greeted with a hail of bullets.
The Japanese soldiers on the train fell one after another.
Li Yunlong also quickly came to the side of the railway track and began to clear the remaining Japanese soldiers.
In a carriage that was flipped over, a Japanese second lieutenant crawled out with difficulty. He did not expect to meet Li Yunlong.
"Boom!"
Without saying anything, Li Yunlong took out the Desert Eagle and fired a shot.
The Japanese second lieutenant's brain was instantly blown apart.
The Japanese soldiers on this train were originally concentrated in the two carriages at the front.
With the sudden explosion, most of the Japanese soldiers on the train were killed. The remaining Japanese soldiers crawled out of the train, but in the end, they were met with the gunfire of the Eighth Route Army. It was a dead end for them.
Soon, the Japanese soldiers on the train were all cleaned up.
Li Yunlong looked at Zhang Dabiao and said, "Zhang Dabiao, quickly clean up the battlefield and see what's on this train."
"Shen Quan, quickly get the horses and prepare to transport the supplies back."
"Li Wanshan, establish a perimeter!"
