The guns of armored trains are one thing...... In fact, while increasing its own protection, armored trains will also add many shooting dead spots to themselves, such as artillery and machine guns, most of which are hidden in rotatable turrets, so that it is inevitable that there will be some places when shooting, especially when the Japanese are still so close...... Many nimble Japanese soldiers only lay on the ground when they heard the gunshots, and the armored train was helpless against them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But this time it wasn't just the armored trains, which were followed by the coal trucks used to transport the fighters of the two reinforced battalions...... Coal trucks were chosen to transport troops not because there were no passenger trains, in fact, there were several passenger cars with sealed carriages captured in the Qiqihar railway station.

The passenger car looks like a good thing, it can shelter the transported troops from the wind and rain without having to blow the wind outside, but in reality the passenger train is not suitable for combat, especially on this kind of medium-long railway that can meet the enemy at any time...... The passenger train had only two small exits at each end, which made it impossible to deploy forces quickly in an encounter, and the Japanese only needed a machine gun or even a few rifles to block the exit.

The open coal wagons did not have this problem, and if necessary, they could jump out of the wagons and fight the enemy at the first opportunity.

Of course, there is no need to jump out of the car at this time...... The soldiers on the coal trucks were a good complement to those who slipped through the cracks of the armored trains, and they only needed to lean out slightly to shoot at the Japanese with their rifles. It's just that because the train travels faster, they tend to target this enemy but hit another enemy......

From time to time, soldiers threw grenades at both sides of the train, and in an instant, the shrapnel flew on both sides of the train, causing the Japanese soldiers to flee everywhere in the snow like lost dogs.

......A few minutes later, the train passed through the area where the Japanese troops were located

In just a few minutes, the Japanese army, which was still alive and well along the railway, was already in a mess at this time...... Dead and wounded, from time to time a few wounded Japanese soldiers held stumps and severed arms and let out a wail in the blood.

The Japanese wing commander Ohara Osa got up from the snow in shock, and when he looked at the tragic scene in front of him, he felt like he was dreaming, he couldn't believe that all this happened in a few minutes, but the facts in front of him made him have to believe it.

After being stunned for a while, he immediately shouted to his surroundings: "Signal soldier, communication soldier!" ”

The communications soldier ran up, checked the radio station as soon as possible, and then said to Ohara Dazuo happily: "Your Excellency, the radio station is not faulty!" ”

"Send a telegram to Command now!"

"Yes!"

A telegram was quickly sent to the deputy lieutenant general of the 63rd Division, who was resting in Xingren Town.

Vice Admiral Ye looked at the message and said with some surprise: "What? The 189 Wing was raided and suffered heavy losses? How to ......"

Vice Admiral Ye was about to start fire, but was stunned by the rest of the message...... "The enemy is riding on an armored train and is heading straight for Heungin Town at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour."

"Where is the 189th Wing?" Deputy Lieutenant General Ye hurriedly asked the staff officer Hirayama beside him.

Staff Officer Hirayama looked at the map and replied, "It's fifteen kilometers away from us......

"What? Fifteen kilometers? Lieutenant General Ye's face turned pale as soon as he brushed it, and the next second he shouted: "Prepare for battle immediately, the enemy is coming!" ”

But it was already too late...... Fifteen kilometers, which is only eleven minutes for a train with a speed of eighty kilometers per hour.

And the time for the Japanese army to receive the telegram and still have to decipher it, plus the time for the telegram to reach the deputy lieutenant general and the delay in the hands of the deputy lieutenant general in the field, has almost arrived.

Sure enough, when the Japanese army's bugle sounded and the Japanese soldiers hurriedly ran out of their resting tents one by one, the sound of cannonballs whistling from the sky came from the sky......

It was the artillery on the armored train, it could have opened fire to bombard Xingren Town a long time ago, but in order not to let the Japanese army prepare too early, it was not until Zhang Chi saw a riot in the Japanese military camp in the telescope that he gave the order to open fire.

Five armored trains, each with three guns, that is a total of fifteen...... IN THE PAST, A SINGLE ARTILLERY SHOT FIRST BLEW UP THE JAPANESE CARS AND TANKS PARKED OUTSIDE THE BARRACKS, AND THOSE TANKS MAY HAVE BEEN USED BY THE JAPANESE ARMY FOR RECONNAISSANCE OR FIRE COVER, ALL OF WHICH WERE TYPE 95 TANKS WITH ARMOR THICKNESS OF ONLY 16MM, WHERE COULD THEY WITHSTAND THE FIRE OF 100MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS, AND THE FIRST SHOT WOULD BECOME A BALL OF FLAMES.

At this time, the Japanese army was panicked and didn't even know what was happening...... Nobu Shotoku was the only one who knew what was going on, but he only had time to warn him of where the enemy was coming from, how many people there were, what the level of equipment was, and how the troops should defend themselves...... All the circumstances are ignorance.

In fact, it doesn't matter at this time, because the Chinese army simply doesn't give them time to react, and this is actually another kind of "blitzkrieg", only it is not carried out with tanks, but with armored trains.

Under normal circumstances, it is unrealistic to use armored trains to carry out "blitzkrieg", because they are overly dependent on rails, that is, their direction and route are likely to be under the control of the enemy, and even the enemy can easily stop the advance of armored trains as long as they blow up the rails, which is incomparable with the tank's ability to flexibly change routes at any time to find the enemy's weaknesses.

However, if it is a surprise, and the Japanese army was still building a railway not long ago, hoping to establish a transportation line with a medium-long railway to ensure the supply of its front-line troops...... Okabe Naosaburo's strategy was to use the Zhongchang Railway as a defensive line and use the railway to transport troops and supplies to resist the attack of the main force of the Chinese army from the direction of Shinkyo, so the Japanese 63rd Division had been repairing the railway and ensuring the safety of the railway when it advanced to Harbin.

Unexpectedly, this was used by the Chinese army to launch a blitzkrieg against it by driving a powerful armored train.

Then, the armored train went straight into the town of Heungin, and with a screech of brakes, the train slowed down.

Almost at the same time, the machine guns and artillery on the armored train spewed tongues of fire at the Japanese troops on both sides, and the soldiers on the coal trucks also raised their rifles under the cover of the coal trucks and fired bullets at the sides...... Another, even more brutal massacre unfolded in the town of Heungin.
