Chapter 160 Oh no, the railway ahead has been demolished!
Chapter 160 Oh no, the railway ahead has been demolished!
As Qin Yan and others had guessed, the Cheng family in Jincheng immediately looked very complicated after receiving the news from the telegram that they had failed to intercept the train.
The two men standing next to General Cheng suddenly looked gloomy.
"Cheng Sang, you promised us that if we don't succeed this time, you'll demolish the railway."
The younger man among the two said coldly.
General Cheng's eyes darkened and he could only nod and say yes.
At this moment, he no longer has a legitimate reason to intercept.
The reason why he argued with reason before was not only because he didn't want to completely offend the Huo family, but also because he felt sorry for that section of railway.
Those are the only two railway lines in Jincheng at present, and this one is the largest one.
The Japanese method was to dismantle the railway tracks in front. General Cheng was reluctant to do so, so he asked people to try to intercept them first.
I originally thought that success would be a sure thing, but I didn't expect that a bunch of losers couldn't even do this. With a garrison of more than 2,000 people, they couldn't even take down a few hundred of the enemy.
Seeing that General Cheng didn't say anything, the two Japanese thought he didn't agree.
Now, even the older one spoke coldly: "Cheng Sang, we have already given you face before, and now you have to do as we say."
Since the other party is willing to cooperate, the Japanese are naturally willing to give him some respect to show their sincerity.
"Okay...okay..."
Even though General Cheng was reluctant, he had no choice but to nod and agree.
At the same time, he silently said in his heart: "Brother Huo, I'm sorry."
Those who know the current affairs are handsome.
Even if you don't cooperate with the Japanese, don't take the initiative to cheat them. What's the difference between this and actively hunting down a ferocious wolf pack?
General Cheng had been observing constantly, and after seeing that the Japanese were really unstoppable, the balance in his heart gradually tilted.
He and the Cheng family have finally achieved this status, and they must keep it by any means.
So, when the Japanese came to him secretly, General Cheng hesitated for a while and finally agreed.
If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. What's more, he is doing this for the peace of Jincheng and the future of countless people!
The two Japanese men in plain clothes looked at each other with satisfaction upon seeing this, but without wasting any time, they immediately asked General Cheng to make a phone call and give orders.
This is Jincheng's territory, so it's not convenient for them to take action. Of course, the Cheng family has to give orders personally for it to be effective.
General Cheng naturally understood this. He took a deep breath and had to pick up the phone.
After he finished giving the order and hung up the phone, General Cheng said to the two Japanese, "This is a big deal. I'll go there myself."
Coincidentally, the two Japanese had the same idea and invited General Cheng to take their small plane.
The train that Huo Bingxing and others were riding on had already been gone for such a long time. If they were to take the train to catch up with it now, it would be too late by the time they arrived.
The Japanese attached great importance to Huo Bingxing's escape and spared no expense in providing him with equipment. This small plane was one of the most advantageous supports.
Upon hearing this, General Cheng's face froze slightly.
What he had in mind was that he seemed to be following responsibly, but in fact it ended before he even got there. He couldn't blame me, right?
In this way, if the Huo family really pursues the matter, there will at least be a little room for buffer.
I never expected these two Japanese to say this, but since the words were out, there was no turning back, so General Cheng had no choice but to agree...

"Oh no, the railway ahead has been demolished!"
Since Qin Yan and Huo Bingxing predicted each other's possible next move, they slowed down the train and asked the co-pilot to observe closely with a telescope.
Shortly after the train entered the forest, the co-pilot came to report.
Qin Yan had previously instructed about the response strategy. Once discovered, the vehicle should be decelerated immediately. In any case, the safety of everyone in the vehicle is the top priority.
As for the ambush in the forest, it was naturally expected.
Sure enough, before the train came to a complete stop, gunshots were heard from both sides.
The Cheng family soldiers who were hiding under the dry grass and shaded by the trees all showed an expression of "as expected".
It’s really cool that they drive the train at full speed, but what if the train stops?
These people are equivalent to losing most of their support in an instant. At that time, the people and weapons in the car are fixed. How long can they hold on by relying on stubborn defense?
It’s only a matter of time before we win!
The people in the car also got ready in the fastest time possible and soon gave the other party a fierce counterattack!
Such a battle is destined to be a protracted war.
They fought from dawn to dusk.
After nightfall, they all tacitly chose to take a break, rest when needed, bandage themselves when needed, and wait to continue the fierce battle tomorrow.
The situation inside the train is much better than outside.
After all, they have the carriage as a natural shelter, which is much more reliable than the trees, rocks and the like of those people outside.
Moreover, it is impossible for the enemy to hide behind the bunker all the time. If they want to capture the train, they must come out and move forward step by step, thus becoming a sitting duck.
The sniper rifles in Qin Yan and Huo Bingxing's hands are not vegetarian.
Therefore, after fighting for a long time, the enemy not only failed to attack, but also suffered many casualties.
"My two lords, this isn't going to work. Should we sneak down in the middle of the night and fix the track?"
Zhang Kunshan said anxiously.
But when he said this, he felt that it was inappropriate.
Even if the damaged rail materials were thrown on the side of the road, once they got off the train, they would become sitting ducks for those people.
Maybe they are just waiting for these "little prey" to take the bait.
Besides, it would take more than a minute or two to re-lay that thing. Even if there were some original staff members on the train who were professionals, it would still take at least half an hour.
It’s too difficult!
Qin Yan waved her hand and said, "Don't worry. Give the order. Except for those on duty, everyone else should have a good rest. There is a high probability that there will be no danger tonight."
Zhang Kunshan was shocked, but according to his experience, night was clearly the best time to launch a sneak attack!
But when he saw Huo Bingxing beside him nodded, he tactfully stopped talking and just followed the instructions.
And that night, it was really quiet.
However, early the next morning, everyone heard a strange buzzing sound.
Everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky following the sound and saw a small propeller plane slowly approaching.
After the plane stopped, General Cheng and others came out.
"Nephew, stop struggling. Throw away your guns. I can guarantee your life."
