Chapter 209 Moshimoshi
Chen Feng felt somewhat grateful when he heard what Shen Honglie said:
"Brother Shen, don't be anxious. No matter how fast the Fifth and Ninth War Zones retreat, we can still hold on for four or five months. We'll talk about it then. Do you lack weapons and ammunition?"
"I felt that I was not short of soup at first, but now that you said that, I feel that I am short of soup again. Brother, what are your plans? I will have some soup too."
Chen Feng already had a plan in mind. The second platoon of the first company had been planning to attack Qufu Railway Station all day long and knew the place very well. The Japanese army had restored traffic on the Jinpu North Line and the lanes of the Jinpu South Line had also been repaired, and supplies were piled up at Qufu East Station.
"Qufu, Qufu East Station, the Japanese army's Jinpu Line was cut off, and a lot of supplies were piled there."
Shen Honglie was overjoyed and did not return to Menglianggu that night. He and Chen Feng made a surprise attack plan. There were only two battalions of troops in Qufu, one to guard the city and the other to guard the railway station. However, the regiment of Pingyi and Mengyin was a problem. Once the battle of Qufu started, troops had to be dispatched to make a feint attack on the two counties. In addition, the battle had to be quick, otherwise it would be easy to be surrounded by the Japanese troops in Zouxian, Tengxian and Jining.
On September 9, the team for the surprise attack on Qufu set out. The Yimeng guerrillas dispatched two companies and Shen Honglie's New Fourth Division dispatched three battalions. The Yimeng guerrillas set out at two o'clock in the afternoon and moved in platoons to the Nishan scenic spot east of Qufu. The three battalions of Shen Honglie's troops also set out at dark. The third company of the Yimeng guerrillas was still responsible for the surprise attack on nearby strongholds to keep the Japanese troops in Pingmeng and Mengcheng on alert.
At eight o'clock in the evening, all the troops of the two companies of the Yimeng Guerrillas arrived at the Nishan scenic spot without any casualties or exposure.
After counting the number of people and checking the equipment, and hiding the horses in the dense forest under Chai Mountain, Chen Feng led two companies to advance rapidly towards Qufu East Station. The team only brought mortars and grenade launchers. According to the plan, the action would begin at ten o'clock, mainly by sneak attack. If they were exposed, they would immediately open fire. The battle must be resolved in the shortest time possible.
The third platoon of the second company went to plant mines on the main road connecting to Qufu according to the plan. Chen Feng, wearing the uniform of a Japanese lieutenant, wandered around the station and successfully got the password, "Showa - Falling Snow", which was quite artistic.
At nine o'clock in the evening, two teams of "devil soldiers" led by two lieutenants joined the patrol.
"Password"?
"Showa! Reply"?
"Falling snow".
The patrol team went in and out of the train station three times, bringing in more than twenty bloated "Japanese soldiers". The "Japanese lieutenant" was very excited when he saw the rows of Japanese trucks. He was thinking that more than a thousand people would pull the trucks on horses, but he didn't expect the Japanese to be so considerate.
At 9:30 in the evening, two teams of patrol soldiers came out and went out three more times, bringing out more than 20 slim "Japanese soldiers". Everything happened naturally.
The artillery positions were arranged, and the grenade throwers had advanced to within 400 meters of the station. After Chen Feng came out, he entered the artillery position and personally adjusted the shooting coordinates, avoiding the Japanese army's fire and focusing on the Japanese barracks.
At 9:40, news came from behind that three cavalry battalions had arrived and had entered Nishan Town. The team could reach the battlefield in ten minutes with a surprise attack.
Chen Feng looked at the Japanese station and raised his hands. The artillery loaders all held the shells. When Chen Feng waved his hands, all the shells fell into the gun barrel.
All, all, all, all!
Twenty mortar shells whizzed towards the Japanese army camp in the station. The sound of "tong dong" was the order. The grenade thrower had already adjusted the direction. His teammates quickly stuffed the micro shells in, and there was another burst of "tong dong" sounds.
boom! boom! boom!
There were loud explosions coming from the Japanese military camp. The sound of artillery fire was an order. The three cavalry battalions quickly mounted their horses and rushed forward. They had to enter the station within ten minutes to cut down the melons and vegetables.
The Japanese soldiers had just fallen asleep when they were awakened by the sudden explosion. They picked up their guns and were about to defend themselves. As they rushed out of the tent, they tripped over a piece of wire or a thin line.
boom! boom! boom!
The explosion of the booby traps was mixed with the sound of mortars and ammunition tubes, and it was impossible to distinguish them. The two patrols plus the twenty bloated "devils" brought in had set a total of 150 booby traps around the tent. Nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers were asleep and were panicked after waking up, triggering most of the booby traps.
There were forty or fifty tents, about the size of two basketball courts. After nearly ten minutes of shelling, the only sound in the station was wailing.
In addition to the artillery firing, the other seventy or eighty soldiers were not idle either. They knew the positions of the Japanese sentries clearly and used rifles to snipe the Japanese sentries and the Japanese who jumped out of the barracks.
The artillery shells had just been fired when the cavalry battalion arrived. Three arrows quickly broke into the station, one arrow went through the main gate, and the other two went around from the flank and outflanked along the driveway.
The cavalry battalion shouted and screamed, and rushed towards the remnants of the Japanese army, waving their sabers. Shen Honglie took the lead, killed several wounded Japanese soldiers, but felt it was meaningless and withdrew.
There weren't many Japanese soldiers who could fight. Apart from those who were killed directly by the explosion, most of them were injured. The cavalry didn't show any mercy. They stabbed all of them, whether they were standing, sitting or lying down. Shen Honglie asked the guard platoon to continue, and he came to Chen Feng:
"Brother, it's great. I'm glad you came along."
"Brother Shen, don't worry about the pleasure for now. Hurry and eliminate the remaining enemies. There are many trucks at the station. Find your drivers, check the vehicles and fuel levels. The rest of you should load the trucks quickly."
"Hurry, hurry, hurry and wipe out the remaining enemies as soon as possible. Everyone obey the command of Cold Gun."
In less than five minutes, the Japanese were wiped out, and hundreds of wounded soldiers were powerless to resist three battalions of cavalry.
Ding-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling!
The phone in the station duty room rang. The sound was very harsh. Chen Feng shouted loudly:
"Quiet, everyone be quiet."
When the team quieted down, Chen Feng continued to give orders:
"Stop talking. Everyone who can speak Japanese should start shouting to put out the fire, rescue supplies, and learn to speak Japanese."
Shen Honglie was surprised. What was going on?
Chen Feng answered the phone, and the person on the other end was indeed the captain of the Japanese garrison in Qufu. Chen Feng waved his hand, and the members of the Yimeng guerrillas who could speak Japanese immediately started screaming.
"Moshimoshi"?
"What's going on? What's the situation with the explosion there? I have assembled the troops and can provide reinforcements at any time."
"The station was attacked by a small group of guerrillas. All of them were killed, but the indirect fire shells in two warehouses exploded. Everyone is busy putting out the fire."
The captain of the Qufu garrison and the captain of the station guard are of the same rank, so there is no way to blame them. I heard a lot of noise on the phone, all the sounds of firefighting and rescuing supplies. Forget it, it seems the problem is not serious, so let them solve it themselves!
"Tell Lieutenant Colonel Lin Chuan that if he needs support, let him call."
"Hi"!
Seeing Chen Feng hung up the phone, although Shen Honglie didn't understand what he meant, he still gave Chen Feng a thumbs up.
"Order: The 1st Cavalry Battalion will move two kilometers west and have the platoon that lays mines withdraw. You will take over the defense and be on alert toward Qufu City. You will automatically evacuate in one hour."
"Yes".
"The rest of you, hurry up and get moving."
The Japanese army's munitions were everywhere. Some were stored in warehouses, some were still displayed in the open air, some were on trains parked at stations, and some had even been loaded onto trucks.
Mountain artillery, infantry artillery, indirect fire artillery and related artillery shells were given priority, followed by light and heavy machine guns and grenades and explosive packs, and finally rifles, bullets and food. When all the vehicles were full, there were still nearly two hundred bags of rice left, all of which were transported from Guandong. It would be a pity to burn or explode them. Chen Feng ordered all soldiers to carry twenty kilograms of rice. Twenty kilograms of weight would not have much impact on the cavalry.
In less than an hour, more than 30 trucks set off, each carrying 20 kilograms of rice. These trucks were originally intended to transport supplies to Xuzhou by road. All railways north of Qufu and south of Xuzhou had resumed transportation, and now all the benefits had been given to Chen Feng and the New Fourth Division.
