Chapter 544 The Ups and Downs of Troubled Times (09)

Something was wrong. Although the enemy appeared as promised, there was only one armored train, and so many valuables could not be carried in one carriage.

"If it's just gold, it can be barely packed in a carriage, but other valuables must be packed separately, and it is impossible to throw them together in a mess." Li Siming said, "So this carriage should not hold too many things, and even There is nothing valuable, is it possible that they took the lead to check the road conditions?"

"There is indeed such a possibility." Si Xuanyi nodded, "Let's have a look first, don't draw conclusions too early."

"It's not good news." Zhao Chenggong scratched his head, he wanted to understand, but his expressive ability was poor, and he organized his words before continuing, "If this is not the case, it means that things didn't come from here. , the information was wrong, we rushed to nothing, and the mission failed. If this is just a road-finding vehicle, it will be even more troublesome. We can't deal with this guy first. After all, we can't do anything before the target vehicle appears, but let This guy wandering around is also troublesome, and it is very likely that this guy will come back and make us suffer when we do it."

"Can this thing be driven backwards?" Fang Yuanshan didn't think what he said made sense. After all, there was only one railway track, and it was difficult to find a nearby place to turn around this thing.

"This armored train is two-way, with a locomotive at the front and rear, and only one or two reinforced armored carriages in the middle. After all, it is not necessary to make all the carriages like this. It is not only costly, but also labor-intensive. There is no such Necessary, so this guy can drive forward and backward at any time, and the turret on it is almost 360-degree without dead angle shooting, which is not easy to deal with, which means that the railway line that seems to be in one direction does not have much impact on it.”

"Then what should we do now?" Only then did Fang Yuanshan understand that the matter was so complicated.

"Wait, we are not in charge now, Zhou Xiaopeng and the others are responsible for the main attack, let's see how they make decisions." Si Xuanyi said.

In fact, Zhou Xiaopeng also thought about these problems. The situation changed and he had to change his plan. He originally planned to kill the armored train directly, but now it seems that he can't do it. Once there is a disturbance, the follow-up vehicles may not come, so he So he could only wait patiently. He planned to wait for the cargo truck to appear before deciding what to do. After all, at that time, no one knew where the armored train was wandering. If he came back, he would blow it up first. If you are farther away, just blow up the farther railway to make it impossible to pass, but the artillery fire on the car and the devils on it will also pose a threat to them, but judging from the current situation, they have no other more suitable The method can only be adaptable, but he still made arrangements in advance, first sent people to the origin to wait, once the sound starts here, immediately blow up the railway to block the armored train, but these all depend on luck, in case the armored train returns early The work of these people is meaningless, but it is better to make arrangements first, and it can be regarded as being prepared, so that the situation will not be messed up when the time comes.

Sure enough, more than ten minutes after the armored train passed by, another car came. There were not many trailers. Seeing the opportunity, Zhou Xiaopeng immediately sent some people to take advantage of the night to climb on the train, but they were quickly discovered by the enemy and marched on the train. Gunshots were heard from the train in the middle, but the follow-up shot went smoothly, and the explosion at the predetermined location forced the vehicle to stop as expected.

Soon, a large number of armed personnel took advantage of the night to pounce on the train that had just stopped, and guns shot out from the windows of the carriage. Judging from the intensity of the gunfire, there were quite a few enemies in the train, because There was no danger on both sides of the train track, and they could only attack by force. Although there were guns placed at high points on both sides to cover them, once people approached the train, the machine guns at the high points would not be able to continue to cover and shoot, so Zhou Xiaopeng's There were a lot of casualties, but some forcefully attacked near the train. The battle was very fierce. Si Xuanyi and the others watched from the high slope. Although Zhou Xiaopeng's side had an absolute numerical advantage, they were at a disadvantage as the attacking side. , Just attacking the train has paid a lot of casualties.

"The fighting power of these people is not weak..." Zhao Chenggong looked at and said, "They are also brave enough."

"We're not the only ones who dare to die." Li Siming said, "There are no bloody men in the land of China, and not everyone will become a boneless traitor."

"Although it cannot be said that the casualties were heavy, the price is indeed a bit high." Liu Xiaotian looked at this battle from the perspective of a combat commander, but he also knew very well that even if he was in charge of commanding himself, he might not be able to pay more. This smaller casualties reached the present level.

"There is still hope..." Si Xuanyi looked at his watch, "But..." At this point, he looked into the distance worriedly. Everyone knew that he was worried about the armored train. I didn't hear the explosion in the distance, so I don't know what's wrong.

But soon they found that Zhou Xiaopeng's men were in trouble, and more enemies appeared in the carriage. The enemy seemed to hide part of their troops in order to bring them closer before attacking. Although Zhou Xiaopeng expected that there might be a large number of enemies, But they didn't expect that the number was at least double what they expected. Seeing that the victory was about to be won, the situation suddenly reversed. The enemy's counterattack almost killed half of the charge's men, and the rest were also crushed in the depression. He couldn't lift his head up and couldn't advance or retreat for a while. This was indeed a big loss. He immediately ordered the machine guns on the commanding heights to suppress fire, but the effect was not good. If you can't get in, it seems that the enemy has long been prepared.

"Go and help." Seeing that the battle was at a stalemate, Si Xuanyi knew he was going to suffer, and immediately called his subordinates to help.

But at this moment, the enemy's armored train came back, and the railway was not blown up as they expected. It turned out that the armored train did not drive too far, but stopped behind the mountain, waiting for the follow-up vehicles Arriving, the distance between the two trains is not particularly far. Although the iron-clad train is fast, it stops from time to time to wait for the transport vehicles behind, but keeps a certain distance between those two Zhou Xiaopeng. The people who were sent in advance to prepare for the blasting were discovered by those little devils as soon as they showed their heads, so they were killed before they could make a move. The sound of gunfire meant that the armored train rushed back unimpeded.

The time came when the real death came. The heavy machine guns and cannons on the armored train fired successively. The dense heavy machine gun bullets hit Zhou Xiaopeng's offensive position and directly tore up some stones that could have been used as shelters. Can escape, the artillery fire kept exploding on the high point, and the fire cover arranged by Zhou Xiaopeng was instantly silenced. The continuous explosions did cause a lot of trouble for the man who controlled the machine gun. The two shooters of the machine gun were directly stunned, and the other machine gun was directly disabled by shrapnel.

The person in charge of the attack suddenly fell into a situation where he could not advance or retreat. The enemies on the train rushed forward and shot at them directly. If they wanted to retreat, there was no cover to use. "Roll roll"...

"This is a big trouble..." Si Xuanyi knew he was going to suffer, but for a while he couldn't do anything. They couldn't provide any fire support at a long distance, but the way forward was blocked by the enemy's armored train. Blockades of artillery and machine guns were not going to help at all.

Si Xuanyi quickly analyzed the situation in front of him: "Xiang Nan made an outflank from the left. Let's sneak attack the enemy's back and attract firepower to decompress them."

"When we go around, maybe the people here will already be..." Zhao Chenggong knew that the battlefield was changing rapidly, and he couldn't allow them to hesitate at all, but he felt that Si Xuanyi's decision was not a good idea.

"If you have a good solution, just say it. If you don't, then execute the order. Don't waste time." Si Xuanyi said very simply, even if it wasn't a good solution, he couldn't just do nothing here.

Zhao Chenggong shut his mouth in a timely manner, he knew very well that his inflexible mind really couldn't think of any effective solution at such an urgent moment.

They immediately set off to outflank. Someone on the battlefield may be killed every second. They must go around as quickly as possible, but the distance is not short. Even if they run with all their strength, it will take more than ten minutes to arrive. Wait for them When Zhou Xiaopeng reached the predetermined position, there were not many people left.

"Concentrate all firepower on the armored train and do it to me directly." Si Xuanyi said to everyone without even taking a breath.

"It's useless, that thing is made of thick steel, and you can't even pierce it with a smaller caliber gun." Fang Yuanshan felt that this method was a waste of bullets and would have no effect at all.

"Idiot, we are creating momentum, attracting firepower, diverting the little devil's attention to this side, and decompressing the people on the other side." Zhao Chenggong finally found an opportunity to teach Fang Yuanshan a lesson, not that he suddenly Be smart, but this is basic combat experience and common sense. If Fang Yuanshan can't even figure out this, he should be scolded.

"I...know..." Fang Yuanshan scratched his head, he was indeed a bit unreasonable, and knew that he deserved being scolded, but he was a little bit unconvinced, he wanted to defend but didn't know how to say it.

"Hurry up, everyone..." Si Xuanyi grabbed a grenadier, aimed for a while, and shot one out, but the shot was a bit off, and it just hit the side of the armored train, but the movement The commotion was not small, and other people followed him and fired one after another. The firepower of a dozen or twenty people was still acceptable. For a while, the iron armored train was beaten up and made a lot of noise. It seemed that the momentum was not small, but they It is also very clear that this can't cause substantial damage to the iron bastard, but the positive press does play a role in attracting firepower. This random shooting made the little devil confused for a while, thinking that he was flanked by the front and back. Immediately turn the muzzle to their side.

"His grandma, he really takes us seriously." Zhao Chenggong cursed while avoiding the flying shells.

The enemy's artillery fire was very fierce, and it didn't take long for them to be blown into dust on the position. They had to withdraw from the position and change positions, and continued to launch feint attacks on the devils. It did relieve Zhou Xiaopeng's pressure to a certain extent. However, after a short period of fierce fighting, his casualties were already quite high. A bloody man who felt hopeless to survive rushed towards the train with a pack of explosives in his arms. The car was blown up and derailed, and the car was stuck on the side of the railway crookedly. Suddenly, the window of the car was up. It was inconvenient for the little devil to shoot, and the firepower was indeed affected to a certain extent. The battle was so fierce that Zhou Xiaopeng's men basically didn't take advantage of it, and everything was beyond their expectations. Both the enemy's strength and preparations for dealing with it were much better than theirs. They were dizzy and suffered heavy casualties, but they did not achieve the expected combat effect at all. Not only did they fail to capture the train smoothly, but they also paid a huge price for casualties. This made Zhou Xiaopeng very annoyed, but he also knew very well that this The changed balance won't last long. Si Xuanyi is completely pushing hard to buy time for them. If they continue to push hard, they will never be able to achieve their expected fighting goal, and it is very likely that none of them will be able to return, so he resolutely The evacuation order was issued. He can't put all his belongings here. It's better to withdraw first and make a long-term plan. Facts have proved that his decision is correct. If he continues blindly succeeding blindly, it may end up in a situation where the entire army is wiped out. Not long after withdrawing from the battle, the follow-up information was delivered one after another. What everyone didn't expect was that the information mentioned that there was nothing in the car they were looking for. The train was full of devils, twice as many as they had expected. As for what they were looking for, no one knew. This time they fought head-to-head and directly hit the rock.

"This is troublesome..." Si Xuanyi patted his head, "We lost our target, so where did the little devil get his things?"

"I've already sent out my people to collect intelligence, and it's estimated that there will be results soon." Zhou Xiaopeng's condition is not good, and the loss of this operation is too great. Not to mention the failure to achieve the goal, he also completely lost those gold and valuables. How could he not be annoyed by the trace?
"As soon as possible... We are running out of time." Si Xuanyi shook his head, clearly knowing how unfavorable the situation was for them...
