"Noguchi-kun, what's going on?"

"Why are the 2 cars firing?"

Without waiting for the private to speak, Captain Shimazu asked.

The private said: "Captain, I found a group of cavalry!" ”

"The Chinese cavalry?" Captain Shimazu suddenly came to his senses when he heard this.

I was bored, but I found a group of Chinese cavalry, and now I had fun.

At that moment, Captain Shimazu got up and said repeatedly: "Is that group of cavalry still there?" ”

"It's still there." The private replied, "When we found them, they were marching along the road!" After being attacked, I panicked, and now I'm still running along the road. ”

"What a stupid bunch of Chinese cavalry."

"I didn't know how to run in a vertical direction!"

"Let's go, let's see." Captain Shimazu walked forward after speaking.

Several lieutenants and ensigns of the 3rd Armored Train Squadron followed.

A moment later, several devil officers had already arrived at the two carriages.

Captain Shimazu climbed the ladder to the roof observation post and looked out.

A high-powered searchlight is mounted on the roof of the two cars, which shines brightly ahead.

Then Captain Shimazu saw at a glance that there was a Chinese cavalry unit of about a dozen horsemen fleeing along the Zhengtai Highway, which ran parallel to the Zhengtai Railway.

The distance between the two sides is about 500 meters.

It's a bit far, but the heavy machine gun can still hit it.

However, the speed of the Chinese cavalry was significantly faster than their train.

When the cavalry runs at full speed, it can reach speeds of up to 60 kilometers per hour.

However, the No. 3 armored train of their squadron maintained a travel speed of about 30 kilometers per hour because it had to keep up with the freight train behind it.

Nearly 30 km/h speed difference.

So the distance between the two sides is rapidly widening.

In just a few moments, the distance had already widened to nearly 600 meters.

Captain Shimazu's 11th Armored Train Wing belongs directly to the North China Front, and he does not know much about the situation in Shanxi, let alone what the situation of the Zhengtai Railway is now.

So when I saw this group of Chinese cavalry moving away, I was immediately excited.

If you don't hit the live target that comes to your door, wouldn't it be a waste?

At that moment, Captain Shimazu shouted: "Order the locomotive, the engine is fully open, and catch up!" ”

The armored train can also run to about 70 kilometers per hour with the engine running at full speed.

As soon as Captain Shimazu gave the order, the No. 3 armored train immediately accelerated and pursued at full speed.

While pursuing, Captain Shimazu also ordered the heavy machine gun on the left side of the two carriages to open fire.

It's just that due to the long distance and the influence of the ground trajectory, the hit rate is extremely poor.

After fighting for half a day, five or six hundred bullets were fired, and only two or three Chinese cavalrymen were stacked down.

During the pursuit, the No. 3 armored train and the freight train behind it unconsciously widened the distance, from less than 100 meters at the beginning to 200 meters.

……

The top of Mianshan Mountain, the observation post.

Li Yunlong was closely observing through the artillery mirror.

Seeing that the cavalry battalion responsible for luring the enemy had lost several cavalry, Li Yunlong couldn't help but tremble in distress.

However, Li Yunlong did not complain about Wang Yan in the slightest, but poured all his anger on the devil's head.

"Holy shit!" Li Yunlong gritted his teeth and said, "The 11th Armored Train Wing, right?" Lao Tzu remembers you, one day, Lao Tzu will have to smash your turtle king's eight shells! ”

Sun Desheng couldn't help but start complaining about Wang Yan: "Counselor Wang, are you good at dogs?" Don't put all the cavalry in Lao Tzu's platoon! ”

Wang Yan didn't say anything.

……

It was already a few minutes later when Yuo Hiraku woke up.

This old devil was also tired, and there were many devils sleeping in the carriage, and the snoring was shocking, so he was stunned to cover the gunshots from the armored train in front of him.

It wasn't until an explosion sounded that he woke up Isamu Pinglu.

The explosion was the opening of mountain artillery on armoured train No. 3.

"What's going on? Which cannon? Yuo Hiraku was startled and said sharply, "Is it the No. 3 armored train?" ”

Observation posts were also reserved on the roof of the Tibetan troop wagon, and even one of the Japanese soldiers pushed open the roof and went up to the roof.

After a while, the Japanese soldier came down again and reported: "Sir, it is indeed the Type 41 mountain gun of the No. 3 armored train that is firing!" It seems that there is an enemy. ”

"Get me down!" Yuo Hiraku beckoned.

The Japanese soldiers quickly got out of the way, and Yuo Hiraku climbed onto the roof of the car with his hands and feet.

The roof observation position was open, and a circle of steel plates was welded around it, and after Pinglu Yongfu came up, he was blown by the night wind, and immediately shivered, and his consciousness immediately became much sober.

Looking further ahead, I saw that the distance between the No. 3 armored train and the freight train had been stretched to at least 500 meters!

Seeing this scene, Yuo Hiraku couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't know what the No. 3 armored train had found and why it was speeding up, but instinct told him that there was definitely a problem in the middle!

It's probably the ghost of the Eighth Route Army!

Thinking of this, Yuo Pinglu couldn't help but shudder again.

"Hurry up!" Yuo Hiraku retracted into the carriage and shouted, "Flare! Flare hit! Slow down Panzer 3 and keep up with the freight train, hurry! ”

An officer immediately climbed up through the observation hole.

A red flare was fired at the dark sky.

The red flare lifts into the air, creating a striking trajectory in the night sky.

……

The Japanese troops on armored train No. 3 immediately spotted the flare fired by the freight train.

Captain Shimazu didn't see it, he was personally operating a Type 92 heavy machine gun, and he was very happy, the only thing that was unpleasant was that he didn't hit a Chinese cavalryman.

"Die, give me a ......"

Captain Shimazu screamed as he held on to the heavy machine gun and pressed the iron.

At this moment, a second lieutenant hurriedly climbed up and reported to him loudly: "Squadron leader, the freight train has signaled us to slow down and keep up with theirs!" ”

"Nani?" Captain Shimazu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

When I looked back, I saw that the freight train had been left far behind.

"Yaga!" Captain Shimazu's first reaction was to scold, "Why is the freight train running so slowly?" ”

The second lieutenant said: "Squadron leader, this is an uphill road, so the speed of the freight train is slower than before, should we slow down and so on?" ”

"Damn, it's boring." Captain Shimazu said dejectedly, "Order, turn off half of the locomotive and slow down!" ”

As he spoke, Shimazu turned back to look for the Chinese cavalry in front of him, only to find that the Chinese cavalry had already reached at least a thousand meters away, and they were about to escape from the range of the searchlight.

"Damn!" Captain Shimazu slapped the Type 92 heavy machine gun hard.
