The train loaded with life-saving medicines and prisoners in Weizhuang Prison immediately started again with white smoke and galloped towards the south, and the Kuomintang Sixth Theater Command on the side of Suxian had already received the news that an unknown armed group had attacked the drug warehouse at the station, and it was already eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, and the commander of the war zone Gu was furious when he heard the report, and immediately ordered the national army on the outskirts of Suxian County to urgently dispatch to stop the fleeing train.
As a result, the sirens inside and outside Suxian County sounded throughout the city, and the regular Kuomintang troops outside Suxian County drove out one after another, chasing the fat man and them along the railway line, because the fat man took his brothers to rescue the three underground party comrades in Weizhuang Prison for a short time for half an hour, so that the national troops who caught up soon found the train that was slowly starting to move towards the south, and these national troops immediately notified the theater command by phone, and Chief Gu made a phone call to the 38th Division of the National Army near Weizhuang, The 38th Division was asked to stop the hijacked train at all costs and capture all the militants on the train The commander of the 38th Division is surnamed Qian, and he is also a Huangpu student, this call from Commander Gu woke him up from his sleep, listening to Commander Gu's stern tone that was almost out of control, Commander Qian arrived at the serious situation, got up immediately, and ordered all the 38th Division to prepare for an attack and stop the train that was coming.
Although Master Qian's head is still dizzy, his eyelids are always unable to mention, in the past two days, he has been busy pursuing a famous courtesan in Su County, and every day he is busy inviting guests to eat and picking up girls, and he is about to get it, a phone call from Chief Gu woke him up from the bed, his mental state is obviously not in it, and he yawns all day.
But after all, he is still a graduate of the Whampoa Military Academy, and he has some doubts about the unknown militants who attacked the medicine warehouse at the Suxian railway station overnight and robbed the train: Which way are these guys?
As soon as he thought of medicine, this Qian Division's head was excited, and he immediately guessed three or four points: This militant may be the New Fourth Army in the south, isn't there an epidemic of plague there now, it turns out that they came to Suxian to grab medicine to treat the plague, if this is the case, Commander Gu wants our 38th Division to intercept the train, the New Fourth Army is also a friendly army with our national army, people are suffering from this plague, the Sixth War Zone should have provided humanitarian help to their New Fourth Army base area, Now instead I have to intercept the train that may be filled with life-saving medicines, and my 38th Division is now caught in the middle, what should I do?
The regiment commanders below the 38th Division looked at their division commanders with sad faces, and asked: "Division, don't you bear to attack those New Fourth Army forces who are robbing medicines?"
"How do you know that they are the New Fourth Army in the south," said Qian Shichang.
"Haha, division, at this time, who will come to the vicinity of the location of the Sixth Theater Headquarters to risk death to grab medicines, only the New Fourth Army, which has suffered from the plague, will come here to get medicines, and the other miscellaneous anti-Japanese forces and those bandit mountain kings who can't get on the table will know that there are special drugs to cure the plague in the warehouse in Suxian County, I think there are only a few people in the New Fourth Army who know this, and it is estimated that the method of robbing the train this time is according to the description of the major at the Suxian Railway Station, These people are from the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army, the predecessor of the Independent Brigade is the well-known anti-Japanese vanguard in our national army, and there is a health company below, most of the military doctors and nurses in it graduated from higher health schools, of course they know how to prevent and treat this plague, so they guess with their humble ranks, they are nine out of ten the people of the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army" The officers under Commander Qian still have some eyesight, and they guessed eight or nine times out of ten.
As soon as Division Commander Qian heard that those who grabbed the train were Zhou Wu's subordinates of the Independent Brigade of the New Fourth Army, the only remaining thought in his heart disappeared completely, and he said to his subordinate officers: "Brothers, now we are still friendly with the New Fourth Army, and it stands to reason that we should not intercept that train, but our immediate boss also sternly ordered our 38th Division to intercept that train on the spot, and asked us to capture all those militants.
"Shizuo, since it was ordered by Commander Gu personally, the chaos can't be mixed, so we have to order the three regiments and three battalions close to the railway line to go out immediately, destroy the railway, force the train to stop, and then our large army will lean up and grab those New Fourth Army, we don't want to fight with the New Fourth Army, but after all, the order from above is there, and we can only do it as a last resort."
Master Qian's subordinates said.
Division Commander Qian thought for a while, but did not come up with any other good way, so he had to order the three regiments and three battalions in front to set off immediately, sabotage the railways along the line, force the train to stop, and order all the regiments of the 38th Division to be on standby urgently, surround them, and capture those New Fourth Army elements who were making trouble in Suxian.
The fat man just started the train, they sensed that something was wrong, not only followed by a train, the train was all set up with machine guns and mortars, "clang" towards the fat man and their train, although most of them could not hit the train, but the fat man inside felt that the situation was serious, was chased by the Kuomintang army on the territory of the national army, and it was not good that this time he would have to capsize in the gutter and be a prisoner of the national army.
The fat man's brain is quite flexible, he saw that the situation was not right, and immediately ordered his brothers to move all the life-saving medicines that had been snatched from the Suxian warehouse to the two carriages near the front of the car, and let those underground party comrades organize these two or three hundred people who had just been rescued from Weizhuang Prison to help carry the medicines.
There are Kuomintang army pursuers in the back, and it is estimated that there will be Kuomintang pursuers in the front.
Subsequently, the fat man ordered his subordinates to put the explosives in the back of the train cars, install the timing device, disconnect the hook connecting the train cars, abandon the carriages behind, and run madly to the front with the medicine and men and horses as fast as possible.
Later, there was a burst of earth-shattering explosions at the time, the train cars were blown up by the time bombs placed inside, and the rising flames rushed up to the sky, and the sky over there was reflected red, and the national army train chasing behind was forced to stop, and had to watch the fat man and they flew to the south with three carriagesThe fat man's brothers also came to help, and the train went crazy and ran south at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
At this moment, the brothers of the national army of the 38th Division, the 3rd Regiment and 3rd Battalion of the 38th Division, who were ordered to rush to the railway line to destroy the railway to stop the fat man from fleeing south, had not yet rushed to the side of the railway, when they saw a train with only three carriages speeding past in front of their eyes, and the commander of the third battalion was so angry that he hurriedly called to report to Division Commander Qian: "Division commander, that train is going too fast, and before our third battalion arrived at the edge of the railway, they ran over with a roar, what should we do now?"
When Division Commander Qian heard this, he felt that these New Fourth Army who came to Su County to grab medicine were in a hurry, otherwise how could they drive the train to such a fast speed in the dark of the night, they were not afraid of overturning, since they drove over, there was no need to catch up and intercept it, or symbolically let the team below make a show for the Sixth Theater Command.
Division Commander Qian immediately ordered the third battalion: "You have completed the task, return to the station immediately, be careful not to reveal any news tonight to anyone, otherwise I want your head" Division Commander Qian asked these people not to talk nonsense, it is better to keep their mouths shut.
Of course, the commander of the third battalion did not dare to disobey, but he agreed to it, and immediately ordered the whole third battalion to collect the team and go back to the station to sleep, he thought to himself: "This is such a big movement tonight, to stop the train, this is something that has never happened before, ringing the warning of the division commander on the phone just now, the third battalion commander thought about it, I am too lazy to care about this stall, in the ranks of the national army, the more you know, the faster you will die, or pretend not to know how to come."
At first, the fat man on the speeding train was still very nervous when he heard these guns, and then he heard that these guns were all released towards the sky, and the fat man immediately relieved himself and thought in his heart: "It turns out that these national soldiers still have a little conscience, and the guns and anti-artillery are for us to see us off, if they really drop the railway line in front of them, then even if we have the ability to reach the sky, we will not be able to run the palms of the national army team."
Although the fat man didn't know what Commander Qian was thinking about this matter, one thing was for sure, the officer of the national army actually didn't want to confront the brothers of the Einsatzgruppen head-on, and he could spare and spare people, which would be good for him in the future.
In fact, this division commander Qian is considering that since the plague plague has spread on Tianchang's side, it cannot guarantee that these independent brigade personnel who came to Su County are not infected by the plague, instead of waiting to stop them and let their subordinates of the 38th Division be infected with the terrible plague, it is not a good favor to let go of these New Fourth Army who grabbed medicine, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to himself, as for how to explain to Commander Gu in the war zone, Commander Qian is not afraid, he has a very hard backstage in Chongqing, and Commander Gu can't help him, You can't give him anything like that. t1706231537:
