Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

Weijia Village, Southern Jiangsu, 5 p.m.

In an adobe house, guerrilla Captain Zhang stood before a square table, pointing to a map on the table. He said to the person opposite him, "Coach Liu, I've studied it. There are many places suitable for ambushes along the railway line from Shanghai to Jinshi, but the only place with weak enemy troops and positions is this approximately 30-kilometer section."

"And the most favorable location for an ambush is here, Luojiayu! I've sent scouts to survey the terrain. There's a section of railway in Luojiayu that passes between two mountain walls, and the top of the mountain wall is only a little over a meter higher than the top of the train!"

"Before we start the ambush, send a few nimble comrades to jump onto the train from the top of the mountain wall. Then, find a way to sneak into the locomotive and control the driver to stop the train. Then, we will open fire, attacking the Japanese on the train while rescuing people!"

"what do you think?"

Coach Liu followed Captain Zhang's finger and looked at the map. He asked, "Are these two cliffs suitable for an ambush?"

Captain Zhang said: "Although the vegetation is not lush, it is no problem to ambush dozens of people."

Coach Liu thought for a moment and said, "I'm worried about whether we can stop the train in time at our ambush location. If we can't stop the train at our ambush location, there's no way we can ambush!"

Captain Zhang threw down his pencil and said, "I've thought about this. Let's get three people who frequently hijack trains to board the train in advance and apply the brakes to stop the train at the ambush location!"

Coach Liu shook his head and said, "I feel it will be difficult. It's impossible for all the Japanese on the train to hide in the carriages. There must be Japanese soldiers patrolling and standing guard at the front of the train and on the roofs of the carriages!"

Captain Zhang said, "The weather is getting cooler now. The temperature has dropped a lot. The Japanese can't stay on top of a moving train in this kind of weather!"

"No, no, no, this is just your wishful thinking. There are nearly 300 prisoners on the train. No matter how careless the Japanese are, there is no way they would not send people to stand guard outside!" Coach Liu said.

Captain Zhang thought for a moment and said, "There may be some devils standing guard on the roof, but there shouldn't be many of them. We can kill the devils standing guard first."

Coach Liu disagreed with Captain Zhang's idea. He said, "Your plan won't work. There are too many variables. I have an idea. Let's plant explosives on the train tracks. As soon as the K1885 train arrives near the ambush site, we can ignite the fuse and blow up the tracks."

"When the train driver sees an explosion on the tracks ahead, he'll definitely brake suddenly. Once the train stops, that's when we start our attack!"

Captain Zhang thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "That's a good idea. How about this? While it's still early, let's go on horseback to the scene to survey it and plan our ambush. What do you think?"

"Okay, without further ado, let's go!"

When Captain Zhang and Instructor Liu, along with several guerrilla comrades, arrived near the ambush site and were about to conduct an investigation, they discovered that there were already several people there, sneaking around on the railroad tracks, and no one knew what they were doing.

The people on the railway tracks were Liu Wanxiong and others from the Blue Shirts Society's Songhu Station. At this time, the two sides were not far apart. They saw each other and thought they were enemies, so they all found cover to hide and prepared to draw their guns to fight.

Two minutes later, the guerrilla instructor Zhang frowned and said, "Old Zhang, something's wrong. I don't think they are the Japs, otherwise they would have come to kill us long ago!"

"I don't think it looks like that either. Who do you think it is?" Captain Zhang asked while observing the front.

Coach Liu asked, "Could it be someone from the National Government?"

Captain Zhang turned his head and said, "No way! There are no Kuomintang troops in this area anymore. There are Japanese soldiers everywhere. The Kuomintang people can't hide in this area!"

At this moment, a voice came from the other side: "Here, are you from the guerrillas?"

Hearing this shout, Captain Zhang and Instructor Liu looked at each other and responded loudly: "We are guerrillas, who are you?"

"We are from the Loyal and Patriotic Army, guerrilla brothers. Are you planning to ambush the Japanese train carrying prisoners of war here tomorrow morning?"

Captain Zhang and Instructor Liu were stunned. After looking at each other, Captain Zhang shouted back, "Are you also here to survey the terrain for tomorrow's operation? Can we please come out and talk? We can cooperate and operate together tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'm out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man climbed out of the ditch beside the railway track and walked along the tracks towards the direction of the guerrillas. Others also appeared from behind their shelters.

"Coach Liu, let's go!" Captain Zhang called out and was the first to walk out from behind the bunker. Coach Liu and several other guerrillas followed.

"I am Liu Changrong from the Loyal and Patriotic Army. May I ask how many of you are in the guerrillas?" Liu Wanxiong asked Captain Zhang, Instructor Liu and others with a fist salute.

Captain Zhang clasped his fists and said, "Hello, Commander Liu. I am Zhang Dabiao, the captain of the guerrillas in this area. The person next to me is Instructor Liu!"

"Nice to meet you. I believe you have also received the news and are preparing to ambush the Japanese train here tomorrow to rescue the prisoners. We also plan to do so. If we fight alone, we will be weak and easily defeated by the Japanese. Since we have a common goal, why don't we unite and act together tomorrow? What do you think?" Liu Wanxiong asked.

Zhang Dabiao said, "That's what we were thinking. Commander Liu, what are your plans for this ambush?"

Liu Wanxiong immediately told his plans one by one.

Zhang Dabiao and Coach Liu didn't expect that Liu Wanxiong had the same idea as them. They were both planning to bury explosives on the railway to force the train to stop, and then attack.

"Haha, Commander Liu thinks the same as us. Great minds think alike. How about this: you plant the explosives, and we'll lie in ambush on the left and right sides of the cliff. Once the battle starts tomorrow, we'll first take out the Japanese sentries on the train. If the Japanese get off the train or use the train cars to fight back, we'll fight back while sending people to rescue the prisoners being escorted..."

After some discussion, the two sides each took on part of the task and then reached an agreement.

The next morning, in the freight area of ​​the train station.

Teams of prisoners of war were forced by the Japanese into freight cars. It took five full cars to load all 280 prisoners.

There were 10 carriages, 5 of which had their doors locked and were full of cargo, and 3 had no carriages but were towed flat in the open air, facing several circular fortifications. Inside the fortifications, there were some Japanese soldiers and several machine guns deployed.

The doors of the remaining two carriages were open, and workers were constantly bringing in goods to load onto the carriages.

Every other carriage, there were two Japanese soldiers walking around on the roof with rifles, keeping watch on the surroundings.

The Japanese captain, Kimura, and several sergeants stood on the platform, watching the prisoners being escorted onto the trains and the boxes of goods being loaded onto the trains by the workers. He looked at his watch, then raised his head and ordered a sergeant next to him, "Tell the workers to speed up the loading. We have to finish the loading within 20 minutes!"

At this time, a rail car in front quietly drove out of the platform. 15 minutes later, the freight train finished loading, and Kimura and others got on the train. At a command, the freight train issued a long whistle, and then a large amount of water steam came out from under the train. The train made a rumbling sound and slowly moved forward.

"Report to the superiors and tell them that the Japanese train K1885 has departed!" A worker in the distance wiped his sweat with a towel and whispered to his companion beside him.
