Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Although there are iron ore raw materials everywhere around Heli County, and according to the current production technology and output of the independent regiment military factory.

In fact, the independent regiment’s military factory might not be able to use up all the raw materials around Heli County alone.

This is why, even after almost half a year, the AKM47 rifles have not yet been equipped to the entire regiment.

Now that we have these rails, they are ready-made steel that we just need to pull back.

It can be directly pulled to the production line to produce AKM47 rifles.

This thing is equivalent to picking up money on the road.

Most importantly, this is also a means to fight against the Japanese invaders.

Since the Japanese occupied most of northwestern Shanxi, they have been frantically using this railway to transport all kinds of materials looted from various cities in northwestern Shanxi.

Part of these supplies were transported to the Taiyuan base camp, and part were transported to the Northeast.

If the tracks of this railway were torn up, it would take the Japanese a lot of time and effort to repair them.

This will definitely greatly affect the speed of the Japanese's plundering.

Another point.

It just so happened that Zhang Ling and others had seized 500 war horses, which were also good means of transportation.

Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to transport all those rails back to Li County?

When Zhao Gang heard Zhang Ling's plan, he was stunned at first, then he laughed: "Old Zhang, Old Zhang, I really admire you as the leader of the independent regiment."

"You really can come up with all kinds of ideas. Yes, with so many horses, can't we use them to transport rails back to increase our weapons production?"

"I say, Lao Zhang, you really have a bright mind."

Subsequently.

Under Zhang Ling's order, the first battalion followed Zhang Ling and Zhao Gang and headed straight for the railway.

Soon, everyone arrived near the railway.

There are no defensive forces near this railway.

The original defensive force was the cavalry battalion of Wanjia Town, but the cavalry battalion was destroyed by Zhang Ling and the first battalion of the independent regiment.

So, now Zhang Ling and the people of the first battalion can basically do whatever they want on this railway.

Looking at the railways in front of him, Zhang Ling said directly: "Everyone, hurry up and take down all the tracks."

"And then they became weapons to fight against the Japanese devils."

After saying that, Zhang Ling took the lead and started prying the railroad tracks.

This railway was the only railway built by the Japanese in northwest Shanxi.

To be precise, this railway was built by a guy named Yan Laoxi.

But the railways in northwest Shanxi are different from those in other places. The railway tracks in northwest Shanxi are relatively narrow.

It is different from the railways in other provinces.

The reason for this is entirely because of what happened during the Central Plains War.

They were worried that warlords from other provinces would quickly enter northwestern Shanxi via the railway.

For this purpose, Yan Laoxi changed the specifications of the railway in northwestern Shanxi to that kind of narrow track.

So trains from other provinces cannot come in.

Because of this, although the Japanese could use the railway in northwest Shanxi, in fact, they had to transport supplies out of or into the province.

You have to change trains, otherwise you can't get out or in.

But later, the Japanese also felt it was too troublesome.

So not long after the occupation, the Japanese mobilized the engineering team to carry out a major reshuffle.

All these narrow-gauge railways were directly replaced with standard gauge ones.

This is the only way to allow the Japanese to transport supplies safely and securely.

The Hundred Regiments Campaign that took place later was also intended to destroy the Japanese railway.

However, according to the timeline, the Hundred Regiments Campaign has not yet begun.

But Zhang Ling brought the first battalion of his independent regiment and showed the Japanese a little bit of the shock of the prelude to the Hundred Regiments Campaign.

I saw the soldiers starting to pry the rails, and some were trying to tighten the screws.

But without professional tools, there is no solution.

After trying for a long time, Zhang Ling realized that it might not be so easy to take the rails down.

So he also had an idea.

Since the rails are difficult to pull down, we can just blow them up.

A grenade can always blow it off.

As long as we blow up the Japanese's railway, the Japanese will have to deal with the rest themselves.

Every time the Japanese deal with it, we will bomb it again.

Not only can the rails be pulled back and refined into weapons for the soldiers to use.

It can also consume the Japanese's material and human resources, which is also a good thing.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ling said to the other soldiers: "You all retreat, we can only dismantle the rails by ourselves."

"I'm afraid it won't work anytime soon, so why not just use a grenade to blow it up?"

After hearing this, Zhao Gang was also a little surprised and said: "Captain, use grenades, this will make too much noise."

"If we attract the Japanese here, all our efforts will be wasted."

Zhang Ling smiled slightly: "Where did you come from, little devil? Watch me."

After saying that, Zhang Ling took out two grenades from his waist and then stuffed the grenades under the railroad sleepers.

Pull the fuse, and a loud roar will follow.

Rumble…

Wow...

Under the power of the grenade explosion, the entire section of railway track was blown away.

The sleepers were also flying everywhere.

The noise also scared Zhao Gang and Li Dazhuang.

Zhao Gang also looked at Zhang Ling and said, "Captain, I'm afraid this won't work."

"With such a big commotion, if we attract the Japanese here, it will be difficult for us to retreat."

Zhang Ling then said cheerfully: "We have wiped out all the puppet troops in Wanjia Town, so how could there be any Japanese invaders?"

"The nearest enemy is about a hundred kilometers away."

"Hurry up and get the rails."

After saying that, Zhang Ling immediately ordered the soldiers to follow and remove the rails from other places.

As long as one section of the track is blown up, the other tracks will basically be easy to remove.

If you really can't get it down, just throw a grenade.

It can be taken down just the same.

Soon, the soldiers were pulling the rails faster and faster.

This one piece of railroad track can basically make two AKM47 rifles.

The more you dig, the more you get.

And the whole regiment can also equip all members with this powerful rifle earlier.

You know, in this Wanjia Town battle, it can be said that every soldier in the first battalion was equipped with an AKM47.

The power alone was enough to make the Japanese unable to fight back.

If the entire independent regiment was equipped with such powerful weapons.

Then we have to seize all the Japanese tanks and cars.

After nearly three hours, the first battalion had dug up a lot of railroad tracks.

These rails were also installed on horseback.

Zhang Ling saw that it was almost done, so he gave the order directly: "Return to Li County."
