One kilometer away from the gate of Wanjia Town.

Kong Jie looked at the dark city gate building, frowned and said, "Something's wrong, why is there no firelight on this city gate building?"

"Even if the Japanese and puppet soldiers on duty have left their posts and slept without authorization, there should still be searchlights or firelights, right?"

Ding Wei nodded: "There is indeed something wrong."

Immediately, Ding Wei ordered the troops to stop and only sent a few scouts to find out.

About 10 minutes later, one of the scouts trotted back, saluted Ding Wei and reported: "Report to the leader, the gate of Wanjia Town is open, and there is no one guarding the top or bottom of the tower."

Hearing this, Ding Wei was shocked and said with a surprised look on his face: "What? There is no one guarding the gate of Wanjia City?"

Scout: "Yes."

Ding Wei frowned: "What's going on? Could it be that Masao Nishiyama knew we were coming to attack at night, so he deliberately told us an empty city plan and set up a trap for us to jump in."

Kong Jie, who was next to him, nodded seriously, picked up the pipe in his hand and subconsciously wanted to take a puff, then he remembered that it was not lit and put it down again.

Said: "Well, Old Ding, your worries are not unreasonable. We really need to be careful."

Ding Wei was stunned. He didn't expect that he just said it casually and Kong Jie actually took it seriously. But there must be a monster when something goes wrong. Ding Wei did not dare to send troops into Wanjia Town rashly, but asked the scout again:

"What's the situation in the town?"

Scout: "It's not clear yet, but our squad leader has gone to conduct reconnaissance in person."

Ding Wei nodded, said nothing more, and led the troops to continue waiting quietly.

Another half hour passed.

The reconnaissance squad leader hurried back, saluted Ding Wei, and reported: "Captain, we are a step too late. All the Japanese in Wanjia Town have been wiped out."

Ding Wei was stunned for a moment, and finally understood why the city gate of Wanjia Town was open and unguarded. His feelings were taken advantage of by others.

He asked again: "Do you know who did it?"

Reconnaissance squad leader: "I asked the fellow villagers in the town, and I only know that it was our Eighth Route Army that did it. I don't know which army it was."

Ding Wei pondered for a while and then said: "Are there any clues left at the scene?"

"Are there any clues left at the scene?" The reconnaissance squad leader frowned and thought for a moment, then said: "It seems that all the corpses of the Japanese at the scene were stripped naked, and their clothes, pants, shoes, leggings, etc. were all taken away.

All she had was a crotch cloth."

Hearing this, Ding Wei didn't know who had climbed in first, and he immediately cursed: "Damn it, it must be this guy Lao Li who did it."

…

At the same time, seven or eight miles south of Wanjia Town, Li Yunlong was leading his troops in a hurry towards Wanjia Town. On the way, he suddenly started coughing violently without warning.

"Ah owe, ah owe, owe!"

Li Yunlong wiped his nose and cursed fiercely: "Which bastard is scolding me?"

Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion next to him, smiled naively and said: "Captain, is it possible that a girl from some family has taken a fancy to you and couldn't sleep in the middle of the night thinking about you."

Li Yunlong's face darkened and he shouted: "Get lost!"

Zhang Dabiao smiled innocently again, but said nothing more.

…

The screen zoomed back to outside the gate of Wanjia Town.

After listening to Ding Wei's words, Kong Jie nodded with deep approval: "Looking at our entire Eighth Route Army, the only person who can do such unlimited things is Li Dayuhu."

After a pause, Kong Jie seemed to think of something again, and then said in a change of voice: "But now there seems to be one more person, so is it possible that Brother Zhuzi did it?"

Ding Wei: "Brother Zhuzi has indeed obtained the true inheritance of Li Dayuhu, and is even better than his master. However, the independent battalion is currently suffering heavy casualties, and only a thousand troops can participate in the battle."

"If they adopt a strategy, the Zhuzhu brothers may be able to defeat the remnants of the Japanese 4th Brigade, but if they attack by force, the chance of victory is not that great.

It is even more impossible to end the battle so quickly."

Kong Jie agreed with Ding Wei’s analysis: “That’s true, so what should we do now?”

Ding Wei: "There is a train station 5 kilometers north of Wanjia Town. We have come here, so we definitely can't go in vain."

"Pass my order, each battalion will bypass Wanjia Town and target the train station!"

"Open the way in front of the first battalion!"

After the order was issued, the battalions of the independent regiment immediately rushed towards the Wanjia Town Railway Station.

Kong Jie asked while riding his horse: "Old Ding, should we go into the town again and take a look?"

Ding Wei: "Lao Kong, others don't know who Li Dayu is, how can you still not know?

He just barely took the kid's crotch cloth away, what else do you think he could leave for us?"

"drive!"

After saying that, Ding Wei squeezed the horse's belly with his legs and drove the horse forward.

"Right."

Kong Jie nodded, feeling that what Ding Wei said made sense, so he nodded and urged his troops to follow.

…

About 15 minutes later.

As soon as Ding Wei led the main force arrived outside the train station, the first battalion commander who arrived first greeted him: "Captain!"

Ding Wei asked: "How is the situation?"

First Battalion Commander: "The situation is similar to that in Wanjia Town. All the Japs at the train station were wiped out and their bodies were stripped naked."

Ding Wei's face suddenly turned gloomy to the extreme: "You stupid Li Dachai, he ate a big pot of meat and didn't even leave a mouthful of soup for me!"

Kong Jie's face also darkened. The Japs at the train station had been eliminated, so there was no need to worry about exposing the target.

He lit the dry cigarette in his hand, took a few puffs of 'Bata Bata', and asked: "Old Ding, what should we do now? Should we just return to the base?"

Ding Wei looked at the train track not far away: "We are here, how can we run in vain?

Although Li Dachaohu took away all the clothes and pants of the Japanese, I don’t believe he could pry away all the railroad tracks!”

Kong Jie: "You mean, let's transport some of the rails back?"

Ding Wei nodded heavily.

Kong Jie's eyes also lit up.

The two hit it off immediately and immediately mobilized their team to pry the rails.

It is worth mentioning that Ding Wei did not pry the rails simply to destroy the Japanese railway traffic. In fact, the simple prying of the rails had a very limited impact on the railway traffic. It would not even take half a day for the Japanese railway soldiers to destroy it.

Railway restoration.

If you want to disrupt railway traffic, the most effective way is to blow up bridges or tunnels. In this way, the manpower, material resources, and time required by the Japanese to repair the railway will be greatly increased.

Of course, Ding Wei didn't just want to make the trip in vain.

After all, steel is an extremely important strategic resource. Whether it is making guns and ammunition, or making broadswords and daggers, steel is inseparable.

The quality of the rail rails is nothing to say.

The Eighth Route Army was very short of these strategic materials.
