Chapter 188: Expanding the Results
As soon as the rapid-fire cannon went off, Captain Shimazu knew that he was in trouble.
The armored trains of the 11th Armored Train Wing are not actually armored trains in the true sense of the word, but are only modified with steel plates for ordinary trains.
And the thickness of the steel plate is only 10 mm.
Such armor against rifle bullets is more than enough.
But in the face of the Type 94 37mm rapid-fire gun, it was a dish.
Therefore, after being attacked by rapid-fire guns, Captain Shimazu ordered all machine-gun fire to implement fire countermeasures.
The rapid-fire guns of the Eighth Route Army must not be allowed to fire again, otherwise a dozen light and heavy machine guns on their armored trains will be knocked out one by one.
Unfortunately, due to the angle of fire, the mountain gun in the 3rd compartment could not fire.
Otherwise, only one shell is needed to easily destroy the enemy's rapid-fire guns.
However, trying to suppress the enemy's rapid-fire guns with machine gun fire alone is only a luxury after all.
The enemy's rapid-fire guns fired two more shots, knocking out the two heavy machine guns on the coal and water trucks, and then the Eighth Route Army, which was lying in ambush on both sides of the railway, launched a charge.
Soon, the Eighth Route Army was approaching the train from the tail.
The sappers, who were hiding on the coal trucks, launched a counterattack and were disintegrated.
By this time, the armored train had been damaged because the locomotive had been damaged, and it couldn't run away even if it wanted to.
Captain Shimazu pulled out his Southern Type 14 pistol and rushed back to the command car with a dozen soldiers.
Captain Shimazu had just rushed into the command compartment through the front door when he saw several Eighth Route Army troops also rushing in through the back door.
Captain Shimazu and the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side raised their pistols almost at the same time, and while pulling the trigger, the two of them rolled sideways to the ground in a very tacit understanding.
The only difference was that the barge guns of the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side were fired.
The Southern Type 14 pistol in Captain Shimazu's hand did not fire and jammed.
Behind Captain Shimazu, a devil private fell to the ground, but the devil who followed behind him was a machine gunner, and he had a long point shot with a crooked handle.
Bullets whizzed past.
The Eighth Route Army, which came in through the back door, fell several times.
At that moment, a grenade rolled over the bone.
Seeing this, Captain Shimazu quickly overturned a table to block him.
Another devil soldier Cao picked up the grenade fearlessly and prepared to throw it back into the second half of the command vehicle.
But before the devil soldier Cao threw it out, the grenade exploded, and dozens of fragments from the explosion instantly sputtered towards the four corners without dead ends, forming a spherical killing area.
Several devils in the spherical area fell to the ground in an instant.
Before the smoke cleared, more Eighth Route Army and devils poured into the command vehicle.
There is no time to draw the bayonet, and there is no time to pull the leash and remove the shell and push the bullet into the chamber.
So, both sides rounded their rifles and smashed them with the butts, or with their fists, or even with their teeth.
More than twenty soldiers of the Eighth Route Army and more than a dozen devils fought to the death in the cramped command vehicle.
Captain Shimazu also faced a tall and strong commander of the Eighth Route Army, and with his familiarity with the command compartment, he dodged the opponent's iron fist with the help of the steel plate welded command table.
While his opponent was hissing in pain, Captain Shimazu drew his saber with his backhand, took cover from the table, and stabbed it from the bottom up from a very tricky angle.
I don't want to be dodged by the Eighth Route Army.
With a thud, the saber plunged deep into the wooden filing cabinet.
Captain Shimazu pulled it out hard, but he couldn't pull it out.
When Captain Shimazu was about to pull out a second blow, a large iron fist had already hit him in the face.
With a bang, Captain Shimazu's sturdy body involuntarily slammed into the filing cabinet, and then fell to the ground against the door.
Before Captain Shimazu could come to his senses, the commander of the Eighth Route Army had already grasped the handle of the saber, and with a vigorous twist, the saber and the filing cabinet were like scissors, and they were cut off with a brush.
With a pop, Captain Shimazu's head was cut off.
The commander of the Eighth Route Army was none other than Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the 4th Battalion.
Cutting off Captain Shimazu's head, Zhang Dabiao pulled out the saber with more force, and then stood up with the blood-dripping saber in both hands.
I saw that at this time, the hand-to-hand combat in the carriage had come to an end.
After all, the devils on the armored train are not the first-line devil infantry, and their strength in hand-to-hand combat is worse, while the commandos of the 4th battalion are all elite veterans who have experienced a hundred battles.
So the result is predictable.
However, the 4th battalion commando still killed several in battle.
This made Zhang Dabiao feel painful, and there were few veterans in the 4th Battalion.
When he was distressed, footsteps sounded, and Li Yunlong had already strode into the command carriage with Wang Yan and Yan Wangcai.
Wang Yan glanced at the equipment placed in the command compartment, and immediately shouted: "Regiment leader, good thing!" ”
After speaking, Wang Yan rushed to a walkie-talkie and said excitedly: "walkie-talkie!" ”
"Walkie-talkie?" Li Yunlong asked, "What's the use of this thing?" ”
"This thing is very useful, it allows you to talk to the brigade commander, division commander or even the boss dozens of kilometers away, and you don't need a communication line on the phone." Wang Yan said, "Awesome, right? ”
"Is it so amazing?" Li Yunlong's eyes also lit up.
The means of communication play a very important role in operational command.
Although Li Yunlong was born in a clay leg, he had already realized this.
"It's that magical." Wang Yan nodded, and then said, "It's a pity that there is only one walkie-talkie here, so there is no way to make long-distance calls." ”
Li Yunlong said hesitantly: "Aren't there still two armored trains?" ”
Wang Yan's eyes lit up: "Regiment leader, do you mean to do it again?" ”
"Why not?" Li Yunlong said, "Such a good opportunity, if you don't take the opportunity to expand the results, then is it still our independent regiment?" Is Lao Tzu still Li Yunlong? ”
Wang Yan said: "In this case, the cavalry battalion and artillery company can withdraw first!" Give the devils some time to repair the railroad, or it will be too late, and we must end the battle before dawn! ”
"Why?" Zhu Ziming said, "Why do you have to end the battle before dawn?" ”
"Are you stupid?" Zhang Dabiao said, "As soon as the morning dawns, the devil's reconnaissance plane will come, and then the devil will know everything?" Will they stupidly rush to Niangziguan for reinforcements? ”
Li Yunlong immediately turned his head and shouted: "Zhang Dakui? Zhang Dakui! ”
Zhang Dakui, the commander of the communications platoon, hurriedly ran over: "Regiment commander? ”
Li Yunlong hummed lightly and said, "Call the cavalry battalion and artillery company immediately, they can withdraw!" By the way, let the pillar come to Niangzi Pass with a cavalry platoon! ”
"Yes!" Zhang Dakui turned around and left.
Yan Wangcai followed and yelled: "Come on, remove all the materials on the car, dismantle everything that can be dismantled, not even a single steel plate is allowed to be left for the old, move it away!" ”
