Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1213 Armored Train
It wasn't until then that Omori Hirono realized that something was wrong.

Artillery was the backbone of the imperial army's battle against the Eighth Route Army. Without artillery, the [-] Gendarmerie Battalion under his command plus the [-] Puppet North China Security Forces were no match for the Eighth Route Army, even if they occupied a favorable location.

Therefore, Omori Hirono immediately ordered: "Order the troops to retreat immediately!"

"Yes!"

Omori Hirono was not worried about the retreat, because they had already planted mines in front of the position and on both sides of the railway in advance... This was preparing for the withdrawal at dawn, and I didn't expect it to be used now.

With these mines, the troops could smoothly withdraw to the railway line and take a train and return to Datong quickly under the protection of the armored train.

Omori Hirono comforted himself while packing his things: "Although it is a bit regrettable, the goal of blocking the Eighth Route Army until now has been achieved!"

Just when Omori Hirono was about to confidently lead his subordinates towards the direction of the train, suddenly a communications soldier ran up out of breath, and reported out of breath: "Your Excellency, the train , the train has left..."

"What?" Omori Hirono said angrily: "How is it possible, order it to return immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Also!" Omori Hirono added: "Order the armored train to come up and cover the troops on board!"

"Major..." The messenger replied: "The armored train and the train left together!"

"Bastard!" Omori Hirono scolded angrily, "Matsuoka, how dare you run away!"

In fact, the train and the armored train did not flee the battle at all, but were captured by the monk's reconnaissance company as soon as the battle started.

Seizing the train was relatively easy, because the entire train was empty except for the wounded who were carried back first. There was only one platoon of puppet soldiers scattered around the train to guard, and there were two devils and a train driver at the front of the train.

The monk left a platoon of troops in charge of the train, and he told the platoon leader: "One of you will deal with the other, and your men should be quicker!"

"Yes!" The platoon leader replied confidently.

This task was indeed not difficult. On the one hand, the people in the reconnaissance platoon used sharpshooters to lurk in the dark to control the overall situation, and on the other hand, they carried stretchers back and forth, constantly transporting the "wounded" into the train.

These "wounded" are of course not real wounded, they are all disguised by the reconnaissance platoon.

Then as soon as the battle started, the "wounded" who were screaming in the carriage suddenly broke out and knocked down the puppet troops outside the carriage one by one. He was brought down by sharpshooters lurking in the dark, including the two devils at the front of the car.

In the blink of an eye, there was no one alive except the trembling train driver and the terrified devil wounded.

The platoon leader immediately ordered the driver to start the train.

The order he received was to drive the train ten miles east first, otherwise it would be almost impossible for a platoon of them to guard such a long train.

At the same time, the battle on the side of the armored train also started.

The armored train was a little troublesome, because the armored train was in a combat readiness state, and the doors were locked from the inside, which was almost isolated from the outside world except for the perforation.

But this is not difficult for the monk.

The monk hid in the dark and observed the armored train with binoculars for a period of time. He drew a clear picture of its carriage, perforation holes and weapons and equipment... The drawing was done by the guards. The pen drawing guarantees that few people can recognize it.

After drawing the picture, let Shisha analyze and calculate, such as where is the dead angle of the perforation, how big is the observation range of the fort, and so on.

After all these tasks are done, it is almost done. The monk led a squad of soldiers to climb to the armored train in the dark, and waited for the signal flares to fire. Jump up and rush to the front of the armored train along its blind spot, and then quickly climb to the top of the armored train with the combination of sapper spade and rope.

There is another detail in this. In order to prevent the devil from making a "clang" sound when the engineer shovel hits the armored train, the monk also asked the soldiers to wrap the engineer shovel with clothes.

In this way, when the engineer shovel hits the roof of the car and hooks something, there is a dull and soft sound. This movement is almost imperceptible amidst the sound of guns and guns. The sound from the top.

The next step will be easy. After the monk and the soldiers are ready, they take out the smoke bomb and throw it into the perforation with an upside-down golden hook.

The devils in the armored train were just startled by the fierce gunfire on the front line, and they were ordered to be on full alert and ready for battle.

At this time, all they could think about was that the armored train would start after receiving the order, and after arriving at the destination, they would ruthlessly hunt down the enemies on both sides of the railroad tracks... The armored train was three kilometers behind the defense line, so they didn't expect it at all. The enemy will be close at hand or even on top of his head.

Therefore, when the smoke bombs were thrown into the car, they panicked on the spot. The first reaction of quite a few devils was that they were "grenades", and they were still smoked grenades.

What to do with a smoking grenade lying around?
Of course, just drop everything and run outside the carriage, otherwise, you will be killed and paralyzed in the closed space of the carriage, and the lightest thing is to be deaf... The armor of an armored train is like a stuffy jar, and the almost completely enclosed space will The power of the grenade is multiplied several times. At this time, let alone shrapnel and shock waves, just the instantaneous air pressure generated during the explosion can blow people to death.

The experienced devil certainly understood this truth, so he opened the car door and rushed out immediately screaming.

There was no difference in the result. When they rushed to the car door, the monks who had been waiting with guns knocked them down one by one.

Then the monk took the lead, covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, turned over and jumped into the armored train.

After bursts of gunfire, the devils on the armored train were wiped out.

The monk had an impulse to stab the devils in the back while driving an armored train. This is a heavy artillery and a machine gun, and it will definitely have a good time.

But the order was for them to retreat ten miles with the train.

Because Wang Xuexin seized the armored train for a greater purpose.

If the monk drove the armored train into battle at this time, the devils would realize that the armored train was occupied by the enemy immediately, and they might notify Datong through the radio.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin hoped to create the false impression that armored trains and trains temporarily retreated for fear of being bombarded by the Eighth Route Army artillery.
