Yes, yes, the crisp sound of horse hooves spread far and wide along the mountain road.
A middle-aged man wearing a long gray coat had a lot of fog on his eyebrows because he had been running on the foggy mountain road for a long time.
In the distance, at a thatched cottage beside a mountain stream, several people were tinkering with something that looked like a small wooden box.
It looks like there is a shovel handrail on top.
"Brother Ma, the brothers asked me to come here to spread the news.
The pit beside the railway has been dug."
Hu Wanling turned over and dismounted, panting.
"Okay, pack everything up and go load the explosives immediately.
Lao Wu, your mission is completed.
Go to the Dongpo Forest and be prepared.
If Little Japan comes after you, we will give them a big gift then. " Ma Yanshou, who is tall and strong and nearly 1.8 meters tall when standing up straight, is different from the Japanese soldiers in most places who have yellow faces and skinny muscles.
Ma Yanshou and the other soldiers were all powerful and rosy-cheeked.
Although they wore clothes similar to those of ordinary people, they could give people an iron-blooded wind.
Hu Wanling saw with his own eyes that a dozen other soldiers were basically not much different from Ma Yanshou.
Such soldiers were rarely seen among the guards of the division commanders, but those people seemed to have other tasks.
Ma Yanshou's left and right hands each carried large bags of hundreds of kilograms of explosives, which were placed on several carriages.
With the actions of several grooms, they each drove the carriages in the direction where Hu Wanling came.
The railway stretches on the ground into the distance.
Ma Yanshou directed several laborers to fill and place the explosive packets and disguise them.
At the same time, he and another person jumped into two pits not far from the railway.
With the help of two comrades, they were completely disguised.
After doing all this.
Hu Wanling took a few laborers and rushed to the distant mountains and forests.
If they hadn't taken advantage of the opportunity to run far away now, when they were investigated later, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape.
Besides, their mission would have been completed if they got here.
"Since the attack on Pingjin, until now, for more than half a year, the Northwest China Army has been as cunning as a loach.
They used a large number of miscellaneous forces to hold back the imperial army, but they concentrated their forces and continued to kill our army.
This The opportunity was finally caught by the commander of the temple.
In this eastward advance, our army must annihilate the main forces of the two armies of the China Army in the Shijiazhuang area."
Tian Eijiro's face was undisguised with joy.
"If we want to annihilate the main forces of the two armies of the China Army, the empire will inevitably pay a heavy price.
The fighting will of the Northwest China Army is not comparable to that of the Northeast Army.
If the Northeast Army had not held back this time, we may not have been able to get such an opportunity.
Miura Toshiji calmly shook his head.
Even if the combat objective was achieved, the artillery power of the Northwest Army was not weak.
Encircling and annihilating this enemy force would probably cost at least 10,000 casualties.
In Miura Toshiji's opinion.
Even though Pingjin, Taiyuan, and even Shijiazhuang have been captured one after another, they are already within reach.
The outcome is nothing more than how great the results they can achieve, but the trapped beasts still fight, and the opponent's burst of combat power in desperate situations can also cause the North China Front Army, which has suffered serious casualties, to suffer heavy losses again.
More than 60,000 people were killed one after another, and the casualties totaled hundreds of thousands.
After taking Shijiazhuang this time and annihilating the opponent's main force, at least another 10,000 or 20,000 casualties would be added.
So far, the entire North China Front has suffered more than a quarter casualties.
If the Japanese army had not been tenacious enough and urgently replenished a large number of troops in the rear, they would have been unable to fight long ago.
"That's true.
China's Northwest Army is indeed the lifelong enemy of the Empire.

Even if they can achieve their goal this time, with the current strength of the Northwest Army, they can only shrink their defense line.
Even if they retreat to the northwest, they will not surrender to the Empire. .
Once the opponent retreats, it will be unprecedentedly difficult for the empire to retreat to the northwest.”
Tian Eijiro said in agreement.
What Tian Eijiro didn't know was that even if the main forces of the two armies, Zhao Tieshu and Yang Hucheng, were lost in Hebei, there would still be a way to continue the Central Plains Campaign in the northwest, but the battle would be more difficult.
"More than that, what really worries the northwest is not their will to fight, but the excellent strategic vision of the leaders in the northwest."
Miura shook his head and took out a rifle from the long gun box behind him.
There are four block letters on the left side of the support, which read Fengjiu18.
"This is the new standard rifle of China's Northwest Army," Tian Eijiro said with his pupils shrinking.
"Yes, I have studied various new weapons of the Northwestern China Army with Yamashita Fengwen and several people.
Among them, this new rifle is the most widely used by the Northwestern Army of China.
Its ammunition capacity has reached an astonishing ten grains, and it can fire The speed is more than twice that of the Imperial Type 38 rifle.
At the same time, due to the improvement of the caliber, the rear blowback force is better than that of Nanjing's Chinese rifle.
The rifles are slightly smaller.
In several firefights with the direct line of the Northwest China Army, the firepower of their rifles has formed a certain advantage over the imperial soldiers, so that the shooting accuracy of the imperial soldiers can no longer be as good as before.
Come out.
And judging from the current situation, most of the front-line troops of the Northwest China Army have been equipped with this new weapon."
"However, although this weapon has stronger firepower than the Type 38, it consumes more than twice as many bullets as the Type 38.
In terms of shooting accuracy and effective damage, I still prefer the ones produced by the Empire.
Type 38 rifle.”
Tian Eijiro said with some pride on his face.
Like many Japanese military officers, he is more advocating effective killing.
In his opinion, the Bong 918 standard semi-automatic rifle equipped by the Northwest Army has strong firepower, but the bullet consumption is also too high.
Compared to killing enemies, it's a bit too wasteful.
There are not a few people in the entire Japanese army who hold the same idea as him.
"Not just rifles, they started to equip 60 mortars and heavy mortars at the platoon level.
All the light machine guns they used were imitation Czech ZB26 light machine guns, and their performance was better than the Empire's Taisho 11 The light machine gun is even better according to the mountain.
According to the speculation of Captain Fengwen Brigade, the Northwest China Army should be equipped with an extremely sharp infantry anti-tank weapon.
However, since the last tank battle in Langfang and an ambush outside Baoding City, the empire has also lost six vehicles. tanks, and the opponent only participated in the battle with three tanks.
Combat anti-tank artillery and a group of infantry have achieved such terrible results.
Unfortunately, the empire has still not been able to capture their anti-tank weapons.
The Northwest China Army has formed a relatively complete military-industrial system, with various types of weapons.
The combined use of firepower has become very proficient. , the performance of the weapons they produce is already very good, from aircraft, tanks, to artillery, light and heavy machine guns, rifles, they can all be mass-produced.
This is beyond the reach of Nanjing.
As long as this line in the northwest can still operate normally, the empire will be able to do so.
It doesn’t count as defeating them
