The guns and cannons of armored trains are one aspect... In fact, while the armored train increases its protection, it will also add many shooting dead spots to itself. For example, artillery and machine guns are mostly hidden in rotatable turrets, so that some places will inevitably be unable to be shot when shooting, especially when the Japanese army is still so close... Many flexible Japanese soldiers only lie on the ground when they hear the gunshots, and the armored trains can do nothing to them.

But this time it was not just armored trains. Following several armored trains was the coal truck used to transport two reinforced battalions soldiers... The coal truck was selected to transport troops not because there were no passenger trains. In fact, there were passenger trucks with sealed cars seized at Qiqihar Railway Station.

The passenger train looks good and can shelter the transported troops from the wind and rain without having to blow the wind outside. However, in fact, passenger trains are not suitable for combat, especially in this medium- and long railway that may encounter enemies at any time... The passenger train only has two small exits at both ends, and it is impossible to quickly expand its forces in an encounter. The Japanese army only needs to use a machine gun or even a few rifles to block the exit.

The open coal trucks have no problems in this regard. If necessary, they can jump out of the car and fight the enemy as soon as possible.

Of course, there is no need to jump out of the train at this time... For those fish that escaped from the dead corner of the armored train's firepower, the soldiers on the coal truck were a good addition. They just needed to lean out and shoot at the Japanese army happily with rifles. However, because the train was moving at a faster speed, they often aimed at this enemy and hit another enemy...

From time to time, soldiers threw grenades on both sides of the train. In an instant, the shrapnel flew around on both sides of the train, causing the Japanese army to run around like a broken dog in the snow.

"Woo..." A few minutes later, the train passed through the Japanese army's area.

In just a few minutes, the Japanese army, who had just marched along the railway alive, was already in a mess at this time... dead, wounded, and from time to time, several injured Japanese soldiers hugged their broken limbs and their broken arms and wailed in the blood.

The captain of the Japanese corps forces, Colonel Ohara, climbed up from the snow in a daze. 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 within a few minutes, but the facts in front of him forced him to believe it.

After a moment of silence, he immediately shouted to the surroundings: "Communication Soldier, Communication Soldier!"

The communication soldier ran up happily, checked the radio station as soon as possible, and then thankfully said to Colonel Ohara: "Colonel, there is no fault in the radio station!"

"Give power to the command center now!"

"yes!"

A telegram was soon sent to the deputy general of the main field of the 63rd Division located in Xingren Town.

Lieutenant General of the Wan was surprised to see the telegram and said, "What? The 189th Regiment suffered heavy losses due to the raid? What should I do..."

Lieutenant General of the Field Army was about to get angry, but was stunned by the following content of the telegram... "The enemy was on an armored train and headed straight to Xingren Town at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour."

"Where is the 189th Regiment?" Lieutenant General of the Field Army hurriedly asked Staff Hirayama beside him.

Staff Pingshan looked at the map and replied: "Da Lum is fifteen kilometers away from us..."

"What? Fifteen kilometers?" Lieutenant General of the wilderness suddenly turned pale. The next second he shouted: "Be ready for battle immediately, the enemy will arrive soon!"

But everything was too late... fifteen kilometers, and it only took eleven minutes for a train with a speed of eighty kilometers per hour.

The time when the Japanese army had to decipher the telegrams, and the time it took to send the telegrams to Lieutenant General of the Jung and Lieutenant General of the Jungle, it was almost time to arrive.

Sure enough, when the Japanese army's military horn sounded and the Japanese army hurriedly ran out of the resting tent, the whistling of artillery shells came from the sky...

That was the artillery on the armored train. It could actually fire a gun and bomb Xingren Town long ago. It was just to prevent the Japanese army from preparing too early, so it was not ready. It was not until Zhang Chi saw riots in the Japanese military camp in the telescope that he ordered the fire.

There were five armored trains, each with three cannons, which were 15 in total... One cannon was the first to blow up the Japanese cars and several tanks parked outside the military camp. Those tanks may have been used for reconnaissance or fire cover by the Japanese army. They were all Type 95 tanks with only 16MM armor thickness. How could they withstand the firepower of 100MM anti-aircraft guns? Once the gun was shot, they became a ball of flame.

At this time, the Japanese army was panicked and didn't even know what was going on... Only the Ye Deputy Masato was the only one who knew what was going on, but he just had time to warn him where the enemy came from, how many people were there, how the equipment was, how many troops should defend... all the situation was ignorant.

In fact, it doesn't matter at this time, because the squadron doesn't give them time to react at all. This is actually another kind of "blitzkrieg", but it's not carried out with tanks, but by armored trains.

Generally speaking, it is unrealistic to use armored trains to carry out "blitz warfare". The reason is that it relies too much on rails, that is, its direction and route are likely to be within the control of the enemy. Even if the enemy blows up the rails, it can easily prevent the armored train from advancing. This is incomparable to the ability of tanks to flexibly change routes at any time to find the enemy's weaknesses.

However, if it was unexpected, and the Japanese army was building a railway not long ago, hoping to establish a transportation line with the Medium-Changhai Railway to ensure the supply of its front-line troops... Naosaburo Okabe's strategy is to use the Medium-Changhai Railway as a defense line, and use railways to transport troops and supplies to resist the attack of the main force of the squadron from the Xinjing direction. Therefore, when the Japanese 63rd Division was advancing to Harbin, it was always repairing the railway and ensuring the safety of the railway.

Unexpectedly, this was instead used by the squadron to drive a powerful armored train to launch a blitzkrieg against it.

Then, the armored train penetrated straight into Xingren Town, and with a harsh sound of brakes, the train slowed down.
