There are five or six retreat routes, and you can tell at a glance that this is the enemy's suspicious plan.

There is probably only one of the real ones here. If you choose the wrong ones, the troops will find nothing if they chase them to the ends of the world.

Several commanders Cao looked at the team leader at the same time and waited for him to make a decision.

At this moment, another Cao Chang ran over: "Sir, we found a few words on the stone over there, left by the enemy attacking the army."

"What did you write?" the captain asked quickly.

"Railway Guerrillas..." Cao Chang understood some Chinese and quickly answered.

The team leader immediately turned his gaze to other subordinates and frowned and asked, "Who have you ever heard of the railway guerrillas?"

Seeing several Chief Cao shook his head, the team leader also looked helpless: "Is this a newly established army?"

"Forget it, I haven't heard of them, and you must have never heard of them."

"The troops clean the battlefield immediately and prepare to retreat."

"We have too few troops, and this group of people who claim to be railway guerrillas are cunning, and it is too dangerous to pursue them rashly."

"Now I know the identity of the opponent. As long as I report to my superiors, someone will naturally check it out and it has nothing to do with us."

Like the soldiers, Zhou Cheng rushed on his way with two mountain cannon shells without fuzes.

The reconnaissance platoon leader Tang Shengbo suddenly caught up: "Battery Commander, the Japanese who reinforced the battlefield retreated, and no troops were sent to pursue us!"

Zhou Cheng relaxed his eyebrows, and his concerns were completely gone: "It must be our suspicious plan that worked. The Japanese saw that we had too many retreat routes left by us, and they were confused. They didn't know which way to pursue them."

"Order the troops to march for another five kilometers, and then stop and rest for half an hour."

Chen Zhengyu was thinking all the way around why the battalion commander left the words "rail guerrillas" for the Japanese before leaving.

Until now, I haven't figured it out. After confirming that there are no pursuers behind me and the troops will not be in danger in a short period of time, Chen Zhengyu gathered the opportunity to ask: "Battalion Commander, I still don't understand why you left the railway guerrillas."

"This is a force that does not exist at all. There must be factors that mislead the Japanese, but I don't think it's that simple!"

Zhou Cheng refused to say anything: "I do have other ideas."

"Today's action allowed me to see one thing clearly: Our National Salvation Army is holding the treasure pot of the Zhengtai Railway. It has been so long but I don't know how to use it. It's so stupid."

"Under normal circumstances, there will be a military train from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan every three days. If there is a war, the frequency of military train will increase. If we can intercept 10% of the weapons, ammunition and materials on the military train for my use, it will be fine to support two or three main groups!"

"I decided to return to the garrison and sent people to set up railway guerrillas to operate between Yangquan and Pingding on the Zhengtai Railway, and specifically collect information about the military line for us."

"When encountering a valuable army like today, send troops to do it directly!"

"I agree!" Chen Zhengyu was moved on the spot.

"Battery Commander, today we will seize so many weapons and ammunition from a military train. If we carry too many mules and horses, we can still bring a lot of food back."

"If we can obtain accurate information from all military units in the future and intercept the military units every two or three months, we will not have to worry about the weapons and ammunition of our third battalion. No matter how many Japanese soldiers come to attack, we are not afraid of no ammunition."

"I think this newly established railway guerrilla team is best to find people familiar with the railway as captains. We provide weapons, ammunition and funds to recruit team members on the railway line. It is best to have railway workers and drivers on the Zhengtai Railway all year round."

Zhou Cheng thought of the famous railway guerrillas in history.

It is almost the same as Chen Zhengyu said: sending a cadre who is familiar with the railway as a team leader and looking for local railway workers and drivers as team members can not only hide their identities and confuse the Japanese, but also get in touch with many things that ordinary people cannot reach, such as what the military lined down at Yangquan Railway Station and what they shipped...

Railway workers can check the materials during the process of transporting...

I immediately agreed: "Just do what you said just now, and the railway guerrillas will be left to you to be responsible and contacted in the future!"

Zhou Cheng took the seizure and just returned to the garrison, he saw a mysterious guest: Staff Officer Zheng.

Three hours before Zhou Cheng, he entered the Third Battalion Department and disguised himself as a cook.

"Hello Comrade Zhou Cheng, I am Staff General Zheng of the Division. I am here to contact you at the command of the division leader." In the conference room, Staff General Zheng did not say a word of nonsense, and he said his identity and purpose straight to the point.

"I wanted to see you a few days ago, but I happened to encounter the Japanese and puppet troops attacking the national rescue army, so I could only stay in the county town for the time being."

"But I haven't had a vain these days. Not only did I see the strong combat power of the National Salvation Army, but I also saw your huge role and strong command ability in the entire battle. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe you would be so young."

Zhou Cheng was stunned when he heard it, especially after hearing the three words "Master Commander", his eyes quickly widened.

As soon as Staff Zheng finished speaking, he asked with disbelief and said, "Does the division leader know me?"

Chief Zheng nodded: "Not only do you know you, but you also attach great importance to you, otherwise I wouldn't have sent me here!"

"To tell you the truth, I didn't want to come. But after staying in the county for a few days, my views on you and the National Salvation Army changed. I felt that I would definitely gain a lot of money on this trip. As soon as the situation stabilized, I hurried over to see you!"

Zhou Cheng still looked shocked in disbelief: "How is this possible...I am just a battalion commander, no, within our Eighth Route Army, I am just a company commander, and the division commander has managed so many troops. How could he know me and still value me? Staff Zheng, are you kidding?"

Staff Officer Zheng explained: "When talking about this, you should thank your old regiment commander."

"For your sake, he sent a telegram to the division leader. At that time, many people thought he was making a big deal. Unexpectedly, the division leader also attached great importance to you after reading the telegram and ordered me to contact you on the spot."

"I was puzzled at the time, but now I can see that you do have the capital worthy of the head of the division."

Seeing that Zhou Cheng was still confused, Staff Zheng continued to explain patiently.

"You have proved to me the strength of the third battalion in this battle. You can kill hundreds of Japanese and puppet troops in one battle. Such combat power is much stronger than the new troops we have recently formed. If such results are passed to the division headquarters, the division commander will definitely be happier than me."

"The location of the Third Battalion is also very critical, just stuck on the side of the Zhengtai Railway."

"If necessary, the troops can send troops to cut off the Zhengtai Railway at any time and interrupt the railway connection between Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang."

Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up: "Chief, there is something I need to report to you!"

Staff Zheng raised his hand and interrupted: "I am just a deputy regiment-level staff member, not the leader. You can call me Staff Zheng or Lao Zheng."

"Then I will call you Staff Officer Zheng!" Zhou Cheng continued.

"Yesterday afternoon we fought a war on the Zhengtai Railway, destroying a line of military trains from Shijiazhuang to Taiyuan, and the railway line was also blown up by us."

"No accident, the Zhengtai Railway will be interrupted for at least four days."

"What? You broke the Zhengtai Railway?" Staff Officer Zheng was both shocked and excited.

Zhou Cheng looked at Staff Zheng with a puzzled look. He couldn't understand why Staff Zheng had such a big reaction. Isn't it just a railway line? It's broken and it seems that it's not a big deal.

Staff Zheng saw Zhou Cheng’s thoughts and took a deep breath and asked: “Comrade Zhou Cheng, do you know what the Zhengtai Railway means to the Japanese?”

"If you control the Zhengtai Railway, all towns along the route can be firmly controlled by the Japanese. They can send supplies and troops to these county towns through the railway line, and can also send the resources and grain collected by the Japanese from these county towns continuously to big cities like Taiyuan and Shijiazhuang through the railway!

"If you cut off the railway line, the Japanese and puppet troops on the front line will suspend their attack because they cannot guarantee ammunition supply, and the wealth that the Japanese have collected from various places will not be lucky..."

"In a word, one day the interruption of the Zhengtai Railway will cause huge losses to the Japanese and puppet troops!"

"Tell me quickly, how did you break the Zhengtai Railway!"

Zhou Cheng knew that the railway line was very important to the Japanese, otherwise they would not have formed a special railway garrison.

But I didn't realize that this railway line is so important to the Japanese, and the two slender rails actually affect the front line.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of the famous Hundred Regiments Battle in later generations, which was a large-scale attack war specifically targeting railway lines. The Eighth Route Army dispatched more than 100 regiments in order to paralyze the Japanese army's railway line in North China, so as to cut off the supply line of the Japanese and puppet troops and support the front battlefield.

I felt even more determined to form a railway guerrilla team immediately.

Report quickly: "That's right, Staff Zheng. The last time he fought the Japanese, the ammunition in the third battalion was almost exhausted."

"In order to give the soldiers bullets, I set my sights on the army on the Zhengtai Railway."

"Yesterday afternoon, a group of troops were intercepted in Yangquan. In order to stop the enemy's reinforcements and give the troops more time to transfer and seize them, we bombed two railway bridges on the road that the Japanese reinforcements must pass. They will definitely not be repaired in less than four or five days."

"It's good to explode!" Staff Officer Zheng replied happily.

"The Japanese attacking Shanxi are still continuing to attack the troops in the Second World War Zone. Now that the Zhengtai Railway is broken, their attack will definitely be affected. If you let the superiors know that the railway line was broken by you, not only the Eighth Route Army headquarters, but also the Second World War Zone will send people to commend you."

"No, this matter is too big. I must go back to the division headquarters as soon as possible and report this matter to the division commander. And the victory you just won, we must report it to the division commander together so that the division commander can see your value."

"Let's go tonight and strive to return to the headquarters within three days."

"Comrade Zhou Cheng, you are the person who is the focus of attention of the division commander. I wonder if you have anything to say to me to bring to the division commander!"
