Chapter 574: Armored Train (2)

Driven by curiosity, Zhang Chi stepped into the armored train to take a look. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this glance, I was immediately attracted by the armored train...... The eight carriages are the warning car, the command car, the power locomotive, the coal and water car, the power supply car and three gun carriages that cross in the middle, each equipped with a 100-mm anti-aircraft gun with a range of 15 kilometers, and the light and heavy machine guns in the other carriages are everywhere like hedgehogs, especially a few high-level dual-purpose Type 92 machine guns, that is to say, there is also a certain air defense capability.

When he walked into the command car, he saw that there were lights, radios, telephones, maps, toilets, desks, beds, etc., and Zhang Chi couldn't help but curse in his heart: This is fucking simple, isn't this an excellent RV?!

It is said that it can run 300 kilometers at a time with its own coal and water...... Although 300 kilometers is nothing, there is a supply of coal and water everywhere at one station and no pressure to run all over the Northeast.

Zhang Chi couldn't help but sit on the bed, then simply lay down, and then stretched comfortably...... It would be great to be able to watch the scenery and direct the battle here.

However, this wish will soon come true.

Then Zhang Chi quickly found a few train drivers to try these armored trains...... It can really be driven, not only can it be driven but also the performance is very good, not only the performance is very good, but the weapons and equipment on the car are also useful.

The only drawback was that there was no ammunition needed, and coal, water, food, etc. were not loaded.

However, this is not a big problem, the ammunition is taken from the captured Japanese warehouses, but for the expeditionary force who are not very familiar with Japanese equipment, it is more troublesome to find suitable ammunition among the many ammunition.

Coal, water and the like are not a big deal, and as for food, it is better to load the compressed biscuits brought by the expeditionary force to avoid stomach trouble when eating food from unknown sources...... If it was in the past, the soldiers of the expeditionary force would not have stomach trouble when they ate anything, but in the past or two years, they are used to eating compressed biscuits and canned food from the US army, and then they are a little uncomfortable with eating other food.

Then the gunners and machine gunners are assigned to it...... One armored train can carry 100 people, five trains is 500 people, and another whole coal truck will come, and more than 2,000 people from two reinforced battalions will be loaded in front and back, and the column will be driven all the way in the direction of Harbin.

Zhang Chi sat in the command car of an armored train in the center, looking at the rapidly retreating snow scene outside the window, Zhang Chi really felt like a world away...... Not long ago, he was hiding in the "research institute" with his troops and was pressed and beaten by the Japanese army, and he might even be killed by the Japanese army breaking through the defensive line at any time.

But now, he can sit comfortably in the armored train to "hunt down" the Japanese army.

That's right, it's "hunt down"...... Although according to intelligence, the Japanese 63rd Division was not "hunted down" at this time, they were the units that attacked Qiqihar and vowed to recapture Qiqihar, but Zhang Chi knew that the 63rd Division at this time did not have that ability at all, especially when the expeditionary force was equipped with armored trains.

Sometimes Zhang Chi feels strange, the Japanese have this intact armored train, why do they take it out and use it?!

But after thinking about it, Zhang Chi quickly understood...... The armored train is actually only suitable for dealing with the guerrillas, who have no artillery and no aircraft, so it can be said that they can't help the armored train at all, so the armored train can run rampant for thousands of miles as if it were in a no-man's land.

But if it is used for modernization for warfare...... THIS THING IS ONLY 10MM THICK ARMOR (6MM THICK ARMOR FOR TEMPORARY ARMORED TRAINS, 10MM THICK FOR TYPE 94 ARMORED TRAINS) AND SUCH A LARGE TARGET, IT CAN BE PENETRATED WITH A SINGLE SHOT, AND WHEN IT ENCOUNTERS THE ENEMY'S AIR POWER, IT IS EVEN MORE FATAL...... What's more, it is highly dependent on railways, so it is better not to go out to fight the Chinese army with full American-style equipment.

In other words, it seems that this thing is more suitable for RVs at this time...... dripping, an RV with guns and cannons, if this is pulled to modern times, it will be old!

However, this thing can still come in handy for the Japanese army...... The Japanese didn't have any anti-tank weapons, and even the thickest armor of their Type 95 tank was only 16MM, and this armored train was almost like a giant tank that was motorized by railroad to the Japanese army.

Time flew by on the armored train, and Zhang Chi was even a little drowsy in the heating, when the voice of a fellow villager came from the walkie-talkie: "Division, there are a large number of enemies in the first ten kilometers ahead, the number of people is about 3,000, it should be a part of the 63rd Division of the Japanese Army!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi replied lazily: "Call directly!" ”

"Hit it?" The townsman asked, "Don't you destroy them?" ”

"Hit it!" Zhang Chi yawned: "Ignore them!" ”

"Yes!"

The main force of the 63rd Division is resting in Xingren Town, and this Japanese army of 3,000 men should be the vanguard of the 63rd Division...... What Zhang Chi wanted was to smash the Huanglong Mansion as quickly as possible, instead of grinding with this vanguard force.

The distance of ten kilometers was only ten minutes for an armored train, and the two armies quickly met at the high speed of the train.

The Japanese soldiers were stupid when they saw an armored train coming in front of them, and many of them even thought it was their reinforcements...... After all, this is an armored train of the Japanese army, and no one has informed them that it will be in such danger.

As a result, they cheered at the oncoming armored train, and some Japanese soldiers even shouted excitedly: "Long live the Emperor" and "Long live the Great Japanese Empire."

But they soon discovered that it was a mistake, and it was very wrong.

Because the sound of gunfire and artillery soon rang out...... THE 100MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN "RUMBLE" FIRED SHELLS ONE AFTER ANOTHER, BLOWING UP THE JAPANESE ARMY INTO THE AIR IN GROUPS, THE JAPANESE TANKS COULD NOT SHOOT ON THE MOVE, BUT THE ARMORED TRAIN DID NOT HAVE THIS RESTRICTION, IT HAD A GUN TRUCK ON IT WITH A SHOOTING STABILIZATION DEVICE AND A PENETRATING SIGHTING DEVICE TO SHOOT ON THE MOVE.

But in fact, at this time, artillery can not play a very big role, because the Japanese are too close, right next to the train, and artillery is more suitable for long-distance targets...... For the Japanese soldiers who were only a few meters away and lined up in a long line, the machine guns were more lethal.

The machine gunners, of course, did not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately pulled the trigger on the crowd outside.

......With a burst of intensive gunfire, the Japanese troops on both sides of the armored train fell in rows like harvested rice, especially the two high-level dual-purpose anti-aircraft machine guns, and many of the Japanese soldiers hit by it were stopped and beaten in two. (To be continued.) )
