The armored train was running on the railway, and the direct-fire guns and heavy machine guns on it were shooting at the puppet troops.
The advantages of armored trains are beyond the reach of the puppet army.
In order to get this armored train out last night, the Northeastern Army defending the city took off a warhead, which was a carriage. Now there are only two direct-fire cannons and two heavy machine guns on it.
But even so, the firepower of the armored train was not something the puppet troops could withstand.
Most of the heavy machine guns used in the Northeast are Maxim machine guns.
When the Maxim heavy machine gun first appeared, it was a human harvester, and it still is today.
But this is only one. Second, the armor on the armored train is much heavier than the Japanese Type 94 tank.
The sudden appearance of the armored train caught the puppet troops by surprise. Even if they wanted to blow up the armored train, cluster grenades could not blow it up.
Third, armored trains move quickly.
The Western Liaoning Corridor is only so wide, and when the puppet troops come to the upper reaches, they will come where they can see the railway line.
Now it was impossible for them to retreat along the railway line, just because the armored trains' attack range was within a thousand meters on both sides of the railway line.
The railway line runs southwest to northeast. In order to avoid the powerful firepower on the armored train, the puppet troops could only withdraw to the northwest.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves sounded like thunder, and a cavalry regiment of the Northeast Army appeared.
The cavalry regiment quickly penetrated, stirring up endless smoke and dust, but blocking the puppet army's escape path to the west.
In terms of marching speed, neither armored trains nor cavalry regiments could match the puppet army. Suddenly, thousands of puppet troops were blocked by the Northeast Army in an open area!
This is a big battle, and Shang Zhen, as a new recruit, just caught up.
As a pursuer, Shang Zhen followed his companions into the woods where they originally blocked the puppet army, and then the rifle in his hand rang out "bang", "bang" and "bang".
Some of the puppet troops have been cut off by the cavalry and armored trains of the Northeast Army. They are two to three hundred meters in front of Shang Zhen. The Northeast Army has completely established an advantage. The officers and soldiers naturally kept shooting at the puppet troops. .
There was no need to specifically look for the target of the puppet army. Shang Zhen kept pulling the bolt to eject the cartridge case, loaded the bullet again, took aim again, and fired calmly.
In the process, he didn't even remember how many shots he fired.
It was agreed that the gunmen were fed with bullets, but I wonder if there would be soldiers like Shang Zhen who would shoot live ammunition at the enemy not long after joining the army.
As for whether there are enough bullets, Shang Zhen doesn't have to think about it. He has hundreds of bullets with him. At the same time, his companions who were killed by heavy machine guns on the Japanese armored vehicles in the woods all have bullets. of.
Shang Zhen kept shooting, and his right shoulder where the gun butt rested was swollen. Every time he pulled the trigger, his shoulder would feel pain.
But when he looked at the corpses around him that had been torn to pieces by Japanese heavy machine guns, he gritted his teeth and persisted.
When company commander Hu Biao shouted "charge", Shang Zhen climbed up from the ground with difficulty. He staggered forward and followed his companions.
What to do if you encounter the opponent's wounded? Should I shoot or not? Shang Zhen thought as he rushed forward.
Maybe this kind of thing is not a problem for veterans, but for a new recruit like him, it still makes him tangled.
But just as he was rushing with the crowd, the accident happened again. They heard the roar of the plane again in the distance.
The Northeast Army originally had aircraft, but an extremely cowardly September 18th Incident caused the Northeast Army to completely lose its aircraft.
As soon as he saw the two black spots flying in the distance, company commander Hu Biao directly issued an order to stop the pursuit.
No one is not afraid of Japanese aircraft. They can blow up Japanese thin-skinned tanks, but they have no way to deal with Japanese aircraft.
Now it’s up to Hu Biao to make decisions.
The men of the two companies had already rushed forward, but Hu Biao looked at the soldiers in front of him and behind him. He now only had more than forty people, and the rest were either dead or injured.
Everyone looked at Hu Biao, who had a gloomy face. In the end, Hu Biao waved his hand and led them all to run towards the woods they had just rushed out of.
Perhaps the company commander wanted to leave some seeds for their second company, Shang Zhen thought.
When they all withdrew into the woods, the Japanese planes were already approaching.
But unexpectedly, the Japanese plane was not waiting for them.
At this time, Mr. Wang suddenly shouted: "No, the Japanese planes are coming to blow up our armored vehicles!"
Isn't it? This is when all of them saw that the armored train of their Northeastern Army in the distance was already running back "crying and eating".
Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, and shrimps eat mud.
All things interact with each other, but the armored trains that made great contributions in this war were also afraid of Japanese aircraft.
Of course there is a heavy machine gun on the armored train, but it is only a heavy machine gun, not an anti-aircraft machine gun, and its rotation angle can only be pointed at the ground, and it is absolutely impossible to shoot at the sky.
"Oh, the plane is coming down!" a soldier shouted.
They saw the two Japanese aircraft swooping towards the armored train one after the other.
No matter how fast the armored train ran, it couldn't be as fast as the plane, and then they heard the firing of Japanese machine guns amidst the roar of the plane.
That was the machine gun on the Japanese aircraft. At the same time, they saw sparks flashing on the armored train from a distance.
At this time, the armored train could only take a beating and had no ability to fight back, because the heavy machine gun it was equipped with had no angle for shooting in the air.
In an instant, the two swooping Japanese aircraft rose up after reaching the lowest point, while the armored train below was still running on the train track.
"Haha, it's okay!" Hu Biao and the others who were watching the battle laughed heartily.
They also don't know how thick the armor of the armored train, that is, the iron plate is, but there is no doubt that it must be thicker than the iron plate of the Japanese tank.
Today's aircraft are not equipped with cannons, some are just heavy machine guns, and the use of the heavy machine gun is actually no different from that on the ground. It also requires a shooter to control the grip behind it to shoot.
Bullets from heavy machine guns really cannot penetrate the armor of the Northeast Army's armored trains.
Seeing that the Japanese planes were unable to defeat the armored train, everyone was naturally happy.
But then they became worried again.
Because they saw the two Japanese aircraft flying back in a circle in the sky and then swooping towards the armored train.
Only this time, the plane didn't fire with heavy machine guns, but just kept diving.
"The Japanese are not going to hit the tanks with planes, are they?" Zhu Kaishan, who has never had a round head, said.
But before he finished speaking, he saw a small black dot falling from the belly of the Japanese aircraft. It was an aerial bomb carried by the Japanese aircraft.
Everyone's hearts were twitching again, but their worries were really in vain.
Just imagine, if a plane in the sky bombs a fixed target on the ground, there will still be an error, let alone bombing an armored train that is also traveling at high speed.
There was a loud explosion, and the bomb dropped by the Japanese aircraft finally landed on the roadbed behind the armored vehicle.
Then there was another cloud of smoke and dust, and during the explosion, countless pieces of gravel collapsed on the roadbed.
It was only at this time that Hu Biao and the others who were watching the battle knew what it meant to be near miss.
The Japanese aircraft only had heavy machine guns. The machine guns couldn't penetrate the armored trains, and they couldn't blow up the bombs. It probably blew up the roadbed into holes.
In the end, the two Japanese aircraft dropped a few aerial bombs and could only turn around and fly away. It seemed that they were heading for the cavalry of the Northeast Army.
Regardless of the cavalry, at least the armored train was fine. All the members of the Second Company, including Hu Biao, burst into cheers, but before the cheers ended, Wang Lao Mao had already said: "The railway is probably damaged, and the armored train is probably damaged." Can not go back!"
