After several days of busy work, it finally calmed down.
Boss Peng just sat down to take a sip of tea when the phone on the table rang.
The left deputy chief of staff picked up the phone and said, "Hello, this is the headquarters."
After hearing a few words, Zuo Deputy Chief of Staff's face suddenly became serious.
Boss Peng next to him immediately put down his teacup, and Master Liu also put back on the myopia glasses that he had just taken off.
As soon as Deputy Chief of Staff Zuo put down the phone, Boss Peng immediately asked, "Old Zuo, whose call is it and what's the situation?"
"A phone call from Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the independent regiment." The left deputy chief of staff said, "Boss, as well as the teacher, Li Yunlong and Wang Yan are planning to make a big move, and ask the headquarters to provide assistance!"
Boss Peng and Mr. Liu looked at each other and said, "What big move?"
The left deputy chief of staff said: "They are going to rob the devil's column on Zhengtai Road, and it must be a column dedicated to delivering weapons and ammunition to the Japanese army in Shanxi!"
"Looting a military column?" Boss Peng turned his face and said, "It's just nonsense!"
"Yeah, it's not easy to rob the army of devils." Master Liu also said, "When we first arrived in Shanxi in 37, we tried it once, but we didn't get any benefits, and we suffered a big loss."
"You're talking about the 386 brigade, right?" Boss Peng nodded and said, "It's mainly the devil's armored train, which has fast maneuvering speed, high defense, and fierce firepower. With the existing weapons and equipment of our Taiyue Military Region, we can't use them at all. There is no way, once the stalemate exceeds two hours, the battle will be a mess."
"Yeah, raw rice." Master Liu said, "Eat it hard. If you really can't eat it, it's a pity to throw it away."
The left deputy chief of staff said: "Boss, teacher, Wang Yan unplugged six strongholds along Zhengtai Road some time ago, and now there is a blank area of [-] miles from Tianjia Town to Yangquan."
"Without stronghold obstructions, our personnel can easily approach Zhengtai Road."
"Wang Yan means to launch a large-scale sabotage before the devils have recovered their stronghold."
"As long as the armored trains at both ends can't get in, the freight trains inside will be free."
Boss Peng's heart moved, and he said thoughtfully: "This is a new situation, why don't you let them try?"
Master Liu said: "It's not impossible for the independent regiment to try, but it must formulate a detailed action plan and a complete emergency plan."
Boss Peng nodded slightly.
The left deputy chief of staff let go of the microphone and said, "Zhao Gang, the boss said, you can try it, but you have to formulate a detailed action plan first, and make a contingency plan."
After hanging up the phone, the left deputy chief of staff said again: "Boss, what about intelligence?"
Boss Peng said: "In terms of intelligence, we can move first, and let the comrades in the Zhengding underground party organization think of a way to find out the accurate information of the devil's army."
"Action plan?" Wang Yan chuckled, and then said, "It's been done a long time ago."
Speaking of this meal, Wang Yan turned his head and shouted again: "Monk? Bring me my notebook."
After a while, Wei Dayong walked in with Wang Yan's diary, and handed the diary to Wang Yan.
Wang Yan opened the diary, pointed to the diary and said: "When I was building a stronghold, I basically felt clearly all the checkpoints, bridges and passes along Zhengtai Road."
"Even the patrol rules of armored trains are clear."
"The Zhengtai Railway is more than 240 kilometers from Zhengding to Taiyuan, and the easiest way to start is the 50 kilometers between Yangquan and Jingxing. We know this, and the Japanese army in Shanxi also knows this."
"Therefore, the area between Yangquan and Jingxing is the focus of Japanese armored train patrols."
"There are two armored trains patrolling back and forth between Yangquan and Jingxing."
"The railway troops of the Japanese army are divided into three shifts, and the shift time is [-]:[-] in the morning, [-]:[-] in the afternoon and [-]:[-]."
"The patrol time of each shift is eight hours, and there are two round trips between Yangquan and Jingxing."
"According to this rule, we can accurately calculate where the two lines of armored vehicles are at a certain time."
"According to the specific location of the armored vehicle, you can choose a suitable location for blasting operations."
"The entire action plan is divided into three steps. In the first step, each combat group must move to a concealed stand-by 10 miles away from Zhengtai Road before dark."
"No matter what mistakes occur in the middle, the entire plan will be canceled immediately."
"Devils are not stupid. Once they find something abnormal, they will die if they go again."
"The second step is to determine the time of action based on the specific time when the freight train passes through Jingxing Station, combined with the patrol rules of the two armored trains."
"After the action time is determined, the two blasting teams must arrive at the designated location within half an hour, place the explosives within half an hour, and then detonate!"
"Before the blasting team detonates the explosives, the raiding team must all be in place."
"If there is a problem in any link in the middle, the operation will be canceled immediately, and all personnel will be evacuated in an orderly manner."
"If there is no accident at this time, the freight train is right in the middle of the two stuck points."
"After the blasting team completed the blasting, the raiding team went all out to remove the sleepers and move the rails."
"Under normal circumstances, the blasting team and the raiding team can fight for at least three hours."
"So in addition to the action team, the blasting team, and the assault team, a transportation team is also set up."
"The action team must end the battle within half an hour, and then the transportation team must rush to transport thousands of tons of supplies on the freight train within two and a half hours!"
"Without major accidents, the action team should have no problem ending the battle in half an hour."
"The difficulty is that the transportation team has to rush to transport thousands of tons of materials within two and a half hours. This requires the mobilization of a large number of mules, horses, carts and civilian labor."
"Based on the calculation of half a ton of a cart, two thousand carts are needed!"
"If all rely on manpower, at least more than 2 civilian workers need to be mobilized."
"The last is the contingency plan. For example, the Japanese army suddenly increased the number of armored trains, or the number of Japanese troops escorted by the train exceeded the predetermined number, resulting in a longer operation time. How to deal with it?"
"Finally, how do you evacuate in an orderly manner after you succeed?"
"Bitake Tsuda is not stupid, he must have guessed that we did it."
"If I were Tsuda Mitake, I would never send troops to the accident site."
"Your Eighth Route Army has already started operations. It is too late for me to go to the accident site."
"So, it's better to send troops to wait at the retreat route of your Eighth Route Army, and then come back and rob you."
