I have something to do at home recently, because I have to watch the night, so there are not many updates and it is not stable, sorry!When things are done, we will speed up the update!

"172 Regiment?" Wang Xuexin frowned looking at the location of the 172 Regiment on the map.

It shouldn't be a big deal for a regiment to be bombarded by the enemy in battle.

But the 172nd Regiment is quite special. It attacked the Devils Coal Mine.

The devil's coal mine is heavily guarded by infantry, and there will be no heavy artillery near it... This is one of the characteristics of the devil's firepower deployment. The devil usually deploys limited heavy artillery on the front line or in vulnerable cities for defense, such as the previous Yuncheng.

There are almost no quasi-law and order areas, especially areas guarded by infantry.

The reason is that most of the combat missions in these areas are aimed at sneak attacks by guerrillas and labor uprisings, escapes, etc. The deployment of heavy artillery here is completely useless, and devils will not do such stupid things.

So, how could the 172 regiment be bombed by heavy artillery from the devils?So much so that they suffered heavy casualties because they were completely unprepared!
Devil heavy artillery passing by?

It's unlikely, because the devils have been fighting abroad during this period, the heavy artillery troops in the Northeast have almost been evacuated, and even the artillery to deal with Yuncheng has to be transferred from Nanjing, so there will be heavy artillery troops passing by here!

Devil dynamic defense joined the heavy artillery unit?

It's also unlikely. The devils have been implementing dynamic defense for some time, and even conducted several exercises. If heavy artillery was added, the intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army should have gotten the news long ago.

Just when Wang Xuexin was puzzled, the correspondent reported again: "Commander, the 237th regiment was shelled, and it was also heavy artillery!"

Wang Xuexin was startled, so fast?That was more than [-] kilometers away, and another location was shelled in less than half an hour?

Then looking at the railway line on the map, Wang Xuexin secretly thought that something was wrong.

"Send people to the railway line to reconnaissance immediately!" Wang Xuexin said: "The devils probably dispatched an armored train!"

The entire headquarters fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at Wang Xuexin in surprise. The next second, they immediately got busy as if the electricity was re-connected, and conveyed Wang Xuexin's order as quickly as possible.

Chen Songyong quickly walked up to Wang Xuexin and said, "Battalion Commander, Iron Armored Train? Iron Hedgehog? Isn't this thing active in the Northeast? If it appeared here, our intelligence personnel wouldn't have heard of it at all!"

What Chen Songyong meant was that the armored train is one of the boss's things, and it still runs on the rails, and the sound is not low. There is no reason why it will not be discovered when driving all the way from the northeast!

Wang Xuexin pointed to the railway line on the map and said: "Look at the two units that were shelled, the 172nd regiment and the 237th regiment, deep in the hinterland of the Devil's quasi-security area and close to the Devil's security area. There should not be heavy artillery here. But they have , and there is one thing in common, close to the railway line!"

Chen Songyong looked at the map and pondered for a while, then nodded: "The battalion commander means that the heavy artillery shelled by these two places came from the same unit, the devil's armored train!"

Wang Xuexin nodded. This is the only way to be reasonable. Otherwise, how can the devil explain the heavy artillery deployed so quickly?
Chen Songyong thought about it deeply, and said in surprise: "Battle Commander, if there is an armored train, then our train..."

Wang Xuexin nodded solemnly, and Chen Songyong finally figured out the key point.

If the devil has an armored train and it is still between Jiangyangfu and Yuncheng, how can the train full of machines get over the armored train to Yuncheng?

The railway lines in this era are not as luxurious as in modern times. In modern times, two railway lines can be built to go back and forth, so there are two moving trains that meet on the road.

Most of the railway lines in this era have only one line, that is, they share one line for coming and going.

If there is a crossing train in the middle, it is necessary to arrange a time node in advance to wait at a certain transfer station to let another train pass first.

The timing of this train schedule is very tight, and once a certain train is delayed, all subsequent trains will be delayed... because the time nodes must be pushed back.

If this is the case, that is, sharing a railway line back and forth, but an armored train is stuck in the middle... How can the train pass?

Did you fly over?

Or let the devil's armored train go to the transfer station to give way to the train?
This almost means that the plan has failed and all efforts have been wasted.

Wang Xuexin was silent for a while, then said: "Don't panic, wait for the news!"

"Yes!" Chen Songyong replied.

Wang Xuexin's hope was wrong, that is, it was not an armored train dispatched by the devils, but his hope soon came to nothing.

The intelligence was not detected by the front line, but from the headquarters.

Zhang Zongping, who was in charge of contacting the headquarters, walked up to Wang Xuexin with a telegram, and reported, "Battalion Commander, there is news from the headquarters confirming that there are devils' armored trains moving in the direction of Lantau Village!"

Wang Xuexin found the location of Lantau Village on the map, which is a small village fifty kilometers north of Jiangyangfu. Although this armored train will not affect Wang Xuexin's plan, it can almost confirm Wang Xuexin's guess.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Chen Songyong took a telegram and reported with a pale face: "Confirmed, it is the devil's armored train, and the current location is Zhongyuzhuang."

As he spoke, he found the location on the map and marked it. It happened to be in the middle of Jiangyangfu and Yuncheng, more than [-] kilometers away from each end.

Then Chen Songyong became nervous: "Battle Commander, the devil's iron-clad train is moving north, you say... Could it be going to reinforce Jiangyang Fu?"

If it is to reinforce Jiangyang Fu and find that the Eighth Route Army is dismantling machines there for shipment, it will all be over. It only takes a few shots to blow up the train to the sky... The train is as fragile as a toy in front of the armored train.

But Wang Xuexin shook his head and said, "It's unlikely, Jiangyang Fu doesn't have much reinforcement value!"

Chen Songyong was taken aback for a moment, and then understood the meaning of Wang Xuexin's words.

Although the armored train is very powerful in combat, it has a weakness, that is, it is extremely dependent on railways.

Because of this weakness, the armored trains should be reinforced in areas that are fully controlled by the devils, especially the railways, otherwise it would be meaningless... The Eighth Route Army only needs to blow up the rails, and the armored trains will not be able to pass, or the front foot just passed the back foot rail As far as being blown off, this is extremely dangerous for armored trains.

Therefore, a place like Jiangyangfu, which is fully controlled by the Eighth Route Army, including the railway, is a dead end for armored trains, unless a large number of infantry gathers to completely regain Jiangyangfu.

Chen Songyong was confused because he was concerned, because he always thought about the train that stopped at Jiangyangfu, so he didn't think about it.

But even so, how to solve this armored train?
