readx; At the end of February 1932, with the sudden arrival of the 400,000 troops of the China Social League and the occupation of Lanzhou City, the former garrison of Ma Buqing in Gansu, after feeling threatened, the five horses in the northwest raised a lot of food and wages in their own jurisdiction, threw out a lot of oceans, and purchased a lot of arms and equipment from major foreign companies. www.biquge.info After the munitions were in place, it took only four to five days for the troops under each of the five horses to collect enough soldiers in the various Hui gathering areas after receiving the white flowers and flowers from above.

Facing the mysterious China Social League currently entrenched in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, this organization with red ideas. Now it has given itself and others the possibility of a large army and a sense of urgency anytime and anywhere, based on this situation, Wuma let his various troops start a round of crazy ruthless training of the newly recruited soldiers, in the big ocean flowers can be fed and not hungry and can wear warm new clothes and attack Lanzhou City There are beautiful women for themselves to play with, these bloody fart people play with their lives, but in order to prevent the newly recruited troops from entering Lanzhou City and getting a vote and then breaking up, The five horses also formulated a relatively cruel punishment, first of all, such as a class running and one person sitting in a class... By analogy, under the threat of a big stick in one hand and a big jujube in the other, the training time of the hundreds of thousands of five-horse coalition troops was compressed to one and a half months, which can be regarded as the beginning of combat effectiveness.

For this reason, the leaders of the five-horse alliance army are eager to know what the gap between their newly trained troops and the arms and equipment in hand and the strength gap between the troops of the China Social League is, and after Ma Hongkui's command post passed the plan of his staff officers, the leaders of the five horses read this plan and transferred people from their respective units to form a cavalry brigade, which consists of two regiments to form a cavalry force of 4,000 people, in order to let this force have enough offensive firepower. After several discussions, Wuma gritted his teeth and replaced this 4,000-strong unit with 200 Czech 79 Z-B26 light machine guns, plus 10 60 mortars and 2 75 Krupp mountain guns as the configuration of the unit, and promoted a tribesman named Ma Zahai, who had fought bravely in the Northwest Army, as the brigade commander.

After receiving the appointment, Ma Zahai took office at seven o'clock the next day, after breakfast, he took his special cavalry unit through the northwest desert and entered the area controlled by the Central Social League in Gansu. A heavy armored train based on a German-style BP42 armored train and a Soviet-Russian armored train is parked here.

This type of train is much longer than the previous ones or BP42 and Soviet-Russian armored trains, the general armored train is only one or twenty carriages, and this one is as many as forty carriages, if necessary, you can also pull more carriages, the locomotive head is wrapped with thick armor is a typical steam engine driving power, it is said that the kinetic energy of the train engine can reach 15,000 horsepower! Drag more than 40 carriages can easily travel at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour on the broad gauge railway, because nearly one-third of the volume of the locomotive is occupied by the new steam engine and its cooling facilities, the remaining two-thirds include the necessary cab and coal combustion boiler there is nothing else, the old locomotive needs a driver and a coal filler, now this is installed with an automatic coal addition transmission combustion device than simply add coal by hand to save more trouble, so only one driver is enough.

In addition, only the first of the 41 carriages was hung at the tail of the locomotive as an enclosed coal-fired cargo hold, which only transported coal of various sizes into the boiler through a special pipeline with an automatic coal conveying device, and burned it to provide strong power for the locomotive head. (This armored train is designed according to the outer dimensions of the 21st century train carriages, each carriage is 26 meters long, 3.3 meters wide, about 3.3 meters high, the average armor thickness is 150 mm, and the maximum load capacity of the carriage is about 100 tons)

The second carriage is an anti-armor carrier truck with four 85 mm guns, these turrets made of Type 58 turrets are used to deal with the armor that appears in enemy troops, and because the parts that resemble the hull of a tank are heavily equipped with thick armor, it eventually becomes a solid fixed anti-tank battery on the train.

The third to fourth carriages, is the tank carrying car, these two carriages can carry a total of eight Type 58 tanks, during the battle, the tank will be driven off the car, the small group of enemy troops around the armored train will be cleared, the early foreign countries are carrying backward or captured other countries' tanks and armored vehicles to fight, Zhao Heng also conformed to the trend of the two tanks carried by the tank to change the Type 58 change.

The fifth carriage is a carriage dedicated to providing fire support for this armored train, the carriage is tightly wrapped in heavy armor, the carriage is equipped with two twin versions with a firing range of about 15 kilometers (fully charged grenades) from the front to the middle, the Type 56 85mm cannon is converted into a rotating turret artillery carriage, and two quadruple versions of the Type 87 25mm twin anti-aircraft guns are installed at the rear of the carriage for low-altitude air defense.

The sixth carriage, also a fire support carriage, is installed at the front of the carriage with a range of nearly 21 kilometers L118 105 mm howitzer, which is used against the enemy's medium-caliber artillery units and their positions, and at the rear of the carriage are two JP113 37 mm double-barreled anti-aircraft guns for medium and low altitude air defense.

The seventh carriage, the front end is installed a 59 or 59-1 type 130 mm cannon with a firing range of nearly 30 km, the main purpose is to destroy the enemy's artillery and positions of about 100 mm caliber, and two single-barreled Type 59 57 mm anti-aircraft guns are installed in the rear of the carriage for high and medium altitude air defense.

In the eighth carriage, two Type 72 85 mm anti-aircraft guns are installed from the front to the middle of the carriage, and at the rear of the carriage are two Type 59 100 mm anti-aircraft guns for high-altitude air defense, and can also be used as support fire for ground fire if necessary.

The 9th to 27th carriages are wrapped in thick armor for the personnel carrying carriages, each carriage is reserved for external observation and firing ports, and some carriages are also equipped with several M1919A4 7x57mm heavy machine guns to deal with the infantry who charge head-on the carriage group, and at the same time, in the event of a large-scale enemy troop dispatch, the carriage can be opened to release soldiers to dig trenches along the way to provide effective infantry support for the armored train, and some of the carriages also serve as a reserve warehouse for weapons and ammunition. By the way, these eighteen carriages could be overloaded with troops of more than three thousand people.

Cars 28 to 31, four of which were used as mobile hospitals in the field. Two of the carriages contained more than sixty or seventy beds for the wounded, while the other half was used as a field operating room and the other half as a storage room for medical equipment and medicines.

The 32nd to 33rd carriages were used as mobile kitchens to solve the problem of catering for members who stayed on armored trains for a long time. One of the cars was used as a special kitchen car for the cooking class, and the remaining car was used as a food pantry as a wartime food supply point away from the city and the base.

The thirty-fourth to thirty-ninth carriages are of the same configuration as the first two to eight carriages, the fortieth carriage is used as the command room of the armored train, and the last carriage serves the same purpose as the first carriage, and behind it there is still a locomotive that is the same as the front, which is used to move back and forth on the railway line, and if necessary, it can disengage from a strong enemy to preserve the living force. Then calculate that the total number of soldiers and other miscellaneous people in this type of armored train is about 3,500, the tank is equipped with as many as 16 Type 58 vehicles, the artillery is equipped with four twin version of the Type 56 85 mm cannon, two L118 Type 105 mm howitzers, two 59 or 59-1 Type 130 mm cannons, and the anti-aircraft gun is equipped with four Type 87 25 mm twin anti-aircraft guns in the quadruple version, four JP113 Type 37 mm double-barreled anti-aircraft guns, Four single-barreled Type 59 57mm anti-aircraft guns, four Type 72 85mm anti-aircraft guns, and four Type 59 100mm anti-aircraft guns, I didn't expect Zhao Heng to really come up with this thing, this is simply one of the tough freaks in the world's armored trains.

This kind of terrifying configuration is in vain even if small Japan comes to two first-class divisions, of course, the number of personnel is small, if it is a double-layer of fully equipped soldiers, it is estimated that there are nearly 20,000 people, and if you specialize in pulling troops, there are five or six such trains that can pull three or four hundred thousand troops a day, and you feel terrible when you think about it, how long is three days? Saying it scares you to death: an army of more than a million in size, more than 10 million in a month, can Japan resist so many troops?

When it received that someone had passed through the northwest desert and was still 15 kilometers away from Lanzhou City, the heavily armed armored train first launched several unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to start searching for the target in a fan-shaped plane, and after determining the specific location of the target, the armored train approached the direction of the Mazha Hai Department along the railway line at a speed of 50 kilometers per hour.

Although it was already late winter to early spring in the northwest and other places, Ma Zahai and his party were still wrapped in thick military coats and rode unhurriedly in the desert of the great northwest, they didn't know whether their actions were known by the other party, and even if the other party knew about Ma Zahai, they didn't care much. Before leaving, Wuma had instructed him that this army was to be used for temptation, and told him to do what he could. You must know that this place has a large temperature difference between day and night at night.

"Brigade Commander, we've been walking in this desert for a long time, and we haven't even noticed a ghost shadow. What do you say about those gangs, the members of the CSS know that we are going to beat him now? "As the commander of the first regiment under Ma Zahai, Ma Xuxiang rode his horse to Ma Zahai's side at the front of the team and spoke in parallel." Nonsense, you think people are stupid. I guess that as soon as we came in, people already knew, but I didn't see any movement from the other party, and I didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd of this China Social League. As the commander of the second regiment of his subordinates, Ma Fuze glanced at Ma Xuxiang, who had just said Ha, and opened his mouth to express his conjecture.

"......" ignored the two people around him, Ma Zahai habitually looked up at the sun in the sky above his head, as if he felt something, staring into the distance, in addition to the sand dunes in front of him, there are occasionally some plants standing tenaciously in the sand, let the wind and sand blow, from time to time there are some scorpions, marmots, snakes and other small animals walking on the sand, leaving footprints that are covered by the wind and sand in a blink of an eye.

"The wind and sand are a bit big, find a place to take shelter for the time being." After looking at it for a while, Ma Zahai turned his head to the two subordinates and said.
