The track sledgehammer in his hand struck the rails intermittently, producing a solid and crisp sound from time to time.
Suddenly, he heard a hollow echo. He frowned, bent down, and tapped again. It was still the same dull, hollow sound, indicating that there was a gap or instability between the rails and the foundation sleepers.
The track inspector was somewhat surprised. He inspected this section of the railway every day, and the foundation here was very solid, so this situation should not have occurred.
He soon discovered that there were signs of digging on the surface of the foundation between the sleepers. He quickly shoveled away the loose soil with his hands and revealed the detonators and explosives underneath.
Someone is planning to bomb the railway!
He felt his hair stand on end and broke out in a cold sweat. He was about to scream when, without warning, two figures appeared beside him and pounced on him from one behind.
The track inspector felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if he had been struck hard on the head, and his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
"Damn it, he found out!" Lei Peng spat and cursed.
Deng Zhihong stepped forward and restored the loose soil that had been dug up. After checking that everything was in order, he and Lei Peng turned around, lifted the patrolman's body, and walked towards the woods.
It took the two men quite a while to drag the patrolman into the woods, and they were panting heavily from exhaustion.
"This thing is really heavy!" Ray Peng muttered as he plopped down on the ground.
"There seems to be some movement!" Deng Zhihong suddenly said, and the two of them simultaneously picked up their binoculars and looked westward.
Soon, a line of three-box armored vehicles came chugging towards them.
"It's them!" Deng Zhihong waved excitedly, grabbed the detonator, and quickly connected the wires. He hadn't connected the wires before because he was worried about accidental detonation. With a few quick movements of his fingers, the wires were connected. He placed the detonator in front of him, his eyes fixed on the front, waiting for the special train to appear.
Soon, the armored vehicle passed the blast site without noticing anything amiss and continued driving forward.
Soon, the military train came into view. Steam billowed from the locomotive, and it emitted a whistling sound as it pulled eight carriages, making a dull rumbling noise as it drew closer and closer to the detonation point.
Deng Zhihong didn't dare to blink, gripping the activation lever tightly in his hand, afraid of missing the best time to detonate.
Fortunately, trains in this era did not travel very fast, giving him enough time to react. Just as the train was about to enter the explosion point, Deng Zhihong's eyes widened and the muscles in his arms tensed.
The train entered the blast zone…
Suddenly, he pressed the detonator lever, and with the transmission of electricity, a violent explosion rang out, followed by a series of explosions that resounded through the sky and shook the earth!
With the soaring heatwave, the train's locomotive was thrown high into the air by the immense destructive force, then crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up towering clouds of dust. Several carriages were also shaken to pieces, tumbling in the scorching waves. Using the force of inertia, they derailed and lurched forward, until in the blink of an eye, the carriages collapsed, leaving only the chassis. The people inside were thrown out like dumplings being dropped into a pot, emitting extremely tragic screams.
The railway tracks were blasted away like two thin noodles, and deep craters were blasted into the center of the explosion, accompanied by thick smoke and flames soaring into the sky.
After a long while, the dust settled, revealing the horrific scene. Everything was in ruins, and blood was everywhere. The tragedy was beyond description!
"We did it! Team leader, we did it!" Lei Peng excitedly picked up Deng Zhihong and shouted repeatedly. Deng Zhihong was also extremely excited, and it took him a long time to pull Lei Peng up.
"Retreat immediately!"
The two turned and disappeared into the jungle, vanishing without a trace!
