Chapter 135 Guarding the Railway Line
While the soldiers were arming themselves, Li Chengqian, Cheng Yaojin and others quickly ate something.
Ten minutes later, everything was ready.
Li Chengqian opened the portal in front of everyone, and disappeared in front of everyone with 1000 soldiers from the Teaching Corps and Zhou Zhenqiang.
He is no longer afraid of being exposed, as many people in different time and space have seen him.
Not to mention the people on the shore, who have seen him use the portal several times.
As for whether it would be reported to Jiang Guangtou, he didn't care...
The group was teleported to a place 50 kilometers west of the suburbs of Jinling City. A little further ahead was the enemy's marching route, and behind them were two trains that had not yet arrived.
"We only have a thousand people. It is unwise to fight head-on. Only by luring the Japanese away can we ensure the smooth passage of the two trains." Zhou Zhenqiang suggested.
Li Chengqian nodded: "You are in charge here, I will go to the front to check the situation first."
Li Chengqian and Cheng Yaojin disappeared again, leaving Zhou Zhenqiang and a group of officers and soldiers of the teaching corps looking at each other in bewilderment.
This is too unreal!!
But they couldn't help but accept the fact. They were just in the city, but in the blink of an eye they were 50 kilometers outside the city.
There is no explanation except by divine means.
On the other side, Li Chengqian was teleported again and came near the Japanese army.
Under the cover of night, a large Japanese army marched silently. Some officers rode their war horses, galloping back and forth, urging the soldiers to keep up.
I have to admit that the Japanese army is still very elite. Even when marching in the dark, they are still well-organized!
"Damn it, there are so many people!" Cheng Yaojin complained.
"The reason why the Japanese surrounded the city overnight is probably because we stole their destroyer," said Hou Junji.
Li Chengqian looked at the long line of marching troops and said, "It's useless to say this now. We are still 80 kilometers away from Jinling City. It will probably take us an hour to reach the place we just arrived at."
"Then shall we send the teaching corps here to lure the devils away?" said Hou Junji.
Li Chengqian shook his head: "No, there are not enough places for transmission. Let's go back and inform Zhou Zhenqiang and the others to rush over here!!"
The group was teleported back again and continued forward with the teaching team.
About an hour later, the two sides finally came into contact.
"Old Zhou, are you clear about our mission?"
Zhou Zhenqiang nodded: "I understand."
There was no further conversation between the two men because the exchange of fire had already begun in front.
As the commander, Zhou Zhenqiang doesn't have much time for nonsense.
He quickly rushed to the front line and commanded the teaching corps to fight and retreat at the same time, trying to lure the Japanese army away from the railway line.
Li Chengqian took his men to guard the railway line to prevent any unexpected events.
Not long after, the sound of the train's grunt came closer and closer.
However, there were still more than 10,000 Japanese troops left there, and only two or three thousand were lured away.
"Damn, the Japanese are not stupid!" Cheng Yaojin was a little anxious!
Li Chengqian frowned and said, "It is common sense not to pursue during a night attack. The Japs have also read our Chinese Art of War, so they naturally know this principle..."
"What should we do now?" asked Hou Junji.
Li Chengqian took a deep breath and said, "It looks like you all have to die again."
Yuchi Gong rubbed his hands and said, "Then let's die again!"
Li Chengqian looked at the crowd and said, "Let's split up and harass the enemy's marching route as individual units. We will draw their attention to ourselves. The train is fast and will pass through quickly.
Your mission is to protect the two trains with your own lives. How about that? Are you confident?"
Cheng Yaojin chuckled: "It's just a death!!"
Li Chengqian nodded: "Go ahead, try to spread out, let's go!!"
Under the cover of night, the three major fighters plus six original guards quickly moved forward, each responsible for a section of the harassment by the Japanese.
The goal was not to kill as many Japs as possible, but to divert their attention as much as possible so that the train could pass smoothly.
Li Chengqian stayed where he was, he couldn't take any risks.
The Japanese army seemed to have heard the noise of a train coming from afar and were about to send people to check it out, but at this moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out from various parts.
In the dark night, these people brandished cold weapons, and under the reflection of the moonlight, they emitted cold rays of light! !
Every time a cold light flashed, one or even several heads fell to the ground.
The Japanese troops marching in a long snake formation were calling for help everywhere, but when they wanted to fight back on the spot, they were always evaded by these people under the cover of darkness.
Da da da....
Boom boom boom!
Amid gunshots, flames, and screams, the marching troops instantly fell into chaos.
However, Hou Junji, Cheng Yaojin and others retreated after one battle and continued to attack from another direction.
The ghostly figures in the night made the Japanese nervous.
I dare not chase, and I cannot defend against it.
They could only fire helplessly into the darkness, their attention completely focused on the location of Cheng Yaojin and his companions.
Huff huff.....
The train is getting closer.
At this time, the Japanese officer finally understood the purpose of Li Chengqian and his group.
"Baga, stop and point your guns at the railway line!!"
thunderbolt! !
A cold light flashed, and the commander's head fell to the ground.
Li Chengqian's figure flashed by and disappeared into the darkness again.
Da da da......
The bullets from the machine gun swept past his side, what a close call! !
But he couldn't stop now, so he hid in the darkness again and specifically targeted Japanese officers.
The train was less than a kilometer behind me, and I could clearly see the sparks coming out of the smoke from the locomotive!
The Japanese marching route was about 200 meters away from the railway line. Under the machine gun fire, the people on the train would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.
But Li Chengqian had no better way, he could only do his best to disrupt the enemy's sight!
Boom boom! !
At this moment, an explosion suddenly came from another direction.
"It's the Training Corps!!"
Li Chengqian clenched his fist: "As expected of the most elite teaching corps!!"
After Zhou Zhenqiang found that he had only attracted a small number of Japanese soldiers, he decisively left one part behind to cover the retreat, and led the majority of his troops to make a detour, shake off the Japanese soldiers behind him, and return to the rear of the Japanese main force.
Even if there were to be heavy casualties in a firefight with a large Japanese force in this situation, we still had to attract the Japanese's attention.
Grunt, grunt...
The people on the top of the train could clearly see the flashes from gunfire in the dark night!
"It's the devils. There's a large army of devils! It's over. We're dead..."
"No, there is our army, our own army, they are fighting the devils!!"
"They are helping us to draw the enemy's firepower and using their lives to help us break through..."
The men fell silent.
They had already escaped once, but their own army risked their lives to protect them this time.
As long as you are a man with a little bit of blood in your veins, you shouldn't just stand there and watch.
Their wives and children were in the carriage and they didn't want to be separated from their families.
But at this time, if they, as men, don't fight to the death, can their wives and children leave safely?
"Fight!!"
"Let's fight. Follow me if you are a man!!"
