Even the station name is not there, ordinary trains do not stop here, and even the railway traffic map does not find this small railway station, in other words, this small railway station is "non-existent" in a sense.

But on the other hand, this inconspicuous little railway station has a one-kilometer? Long feeder railway turnouts that can stop a train.

This small railway station is called "Dongfang Jiazi No. 1 Station" in the relevant documents of the military, and there will be no more than 20 relevant personnel who know the specific location and purpose of this railway station, Gao Runzhen is one of these 20 related personnel, and in fact, he is also the direct superior of this railway station, and this railway station is under his command.

Now, Bu Runxian has arrived at this "Dongfang Jiazi No. 1 Station" on an armored train, and when his train entered the station, a truck that had been waiting at the station for a long time had already moved, and after Bu Runxian boarded the truck with military license plates with several adjutants, the truck immediately turned around and drove outside the station. But in the blink of an eye, it was gone.

Half an hour later, the military truck appeared in a wilderness in southwest Shandong Province, southwest of Chongzhou and northeast of Jining, sandwiched between the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Tianjin-Pudong Railway, which used to be a small village. However, just half a year ago, a wealthy businessman bought the village and all the nearby farmland, and the villagers moved to another country, after which the rich businessman sold the wilderness to the 6th Military Headquarters, so it became a military restricted area, and it was not allowed to enter.

Not many people know the purpose of this military restricted area, even the senior officers of the 6th Military Department only know that this place is under the direct command of Gao Runjiao, and the Ministry Runji is also the base commander of this military restricted area, he has full authority to preside over all matters here, and like the armored train troops under his command, the troops here are also directly under the command of the Commander's Hall, and the 6th Military Department has no authority to command the troops here.

The only thing that the 6 military department understands is. The code name of this military restricted area is "Dongfang Jiazi No. 1 Base" or "Dongyi Base" for short

In fact, when the net was sent to the troops. Gao Runjiao's appointment to the Commander's Hall is also a little inexplicable, because of this. The "Dongyi Base" is stationed in a strange unit, the full name is the "First Armored Battalion of the Commander's Hall", and when Gao Run arrived at the army, he realized that the so-called "armored battalion" is just an infantry battalion equipped with armored vehicles, and the troops are equipped with a total of 50 armored vehicles, and these armored cars are all modified from ordinary trucks, but steel plates are added around the body, and the rubber pneumatic tires are replaced with steel core coated tires.

The task assigned to the Ministry by the Commander-in-Chief is to train this armored car unit into an elite unit, and to explore the tactics of the cool compatibility of armored vehicles and infantry in the training.

Now, the Ministry of Runxian is the "Commander of the Armored Corps", the armored train is under his control, the armored car is also under his control, and his military rank is also under his control.

The armored car unit did make Bu Runxian feel a little refreshing, but to be honest, he was skeptical that this kind of armored car could be used in field warfare, for this kind of armored car that relies on wheels to advance, those trenches on the battlefield are an insurmountable obstacle, and if the battlefield is chosen in the field. The undulating terrain was a severe test for the four-wheeled armored car.

Therefore, after getting acquainted with the troops, the Ministry quickly wrote a report to the Commander-in-Chief, reminding the Commander-in-Chief that this kind of armored car is difficult to use in field battles, and can only patrol back and forth on the road, playing the role of a "road armored train". He suggested that the training of this armored automobile unit should be mainly based on road combat, and that field combat training should be basically abandoned. But not long after Gao Runyan's report was handed over, it was photographed back by the president. The president clearly told him that regardless of whether this kind of four-wheeled armored car can be used in field battles, the main task of Gao Runjiao and his troops is to explore the offensive coordination between the infantry and the armored troops, use the infantry to assist the armored troops, and at the same time use the armored troops to cover the infantry attack.

Gao Rundi had to re-examine his point of view, but after pondering and pondering, he just couldn't understand how this armored car could deal with the terrain and trenches on the battlefield, but he had to do it if he didn't understand, so Gao Runxiang devoted himself to the training of the troops, and if he calculated carefully, he had supervised this armored battalion to practice for almost half a year, and he had explored a lot of tactics, and he had also figured out some means to deal with the terrain and trenches. As for whether it is practical or not, I am afraid that further verification is needed.

Rode into the armored battalion station. Just in time for a military scraping exercise, Bai Lang, the battalion commander of the armored battalion, was presiding over the scraping drill on the scraping training ground, and he didn't know that his immediate boss had come to inspect it.

By the time they arrived at the training ground, the training had already begun, and more than 200 infantrymen, accompanied by 20 armored vehicles, were charging at the "enemy position." In addition to the necessary weapons and ammunition of the month. This infantry ring additionally lifted dozens of thick pieces of wood is armored car qing... Trenches and trenches were tools for obstacles, and in the past, when the soldiers were scraping, the soldiers tied these planks to armored cars. However, if they arranged it in this way, it would affect the impact of the armored car, so now it has been changed to the infantry carrying the attack, and once they encounter a trench or trench, they will immediately put up the plank. Then guide the armored car from the planks over the trenches, trenches, and continue to rush forward

。

"Gnaw tart must", hee coo tart,"

The sound of point-fire from machine guns rang out from time to time on the scratching ground. This is the machine gun on the armored car, and it is also the main armament of the armored car, which is used to destroy the fire point on the enemy formation, and the firepower of the machine gun is sufficient, although the commander-in-chief clearly pointed out that the armored car should be equipped with small-caliber infantry guns in the future, but so far, all the armored vehicles of the armored battalion are only equipped with machine guns, because the arsenal has not yet completed the relevant weapons project.

Standing on the edge of the training ground, Gao Runxian held a telescope to observe the practice carefully, and saw Bai Lang, the commander of the armored battalion, on one of the armored cars, at this moment, Bai Lang was leaning half of his body out of the roof. Holding a red flag and a green flag in both hands, they are waving vigorously, signaling to the commanders of other armored cars to change the marching formation. as well as adjusting the direction of impact. Cooperate with the infantry to break through the position.

This exercise did not last long, but in half an hour, the "enemy position" had been broken through and occupied by the infantry, but in the process of breaking through the position, several armored vehicles were also "lost", and they were all lost because of falling into the trenches, the armored cars were too heavy, even if a few wooden planks were put together, it was possible that they could not support the weight of the armored cars, and this problem has been plaguing the troops. Although the arsenal had promised to make some steel straddles that were both light and strong, like those small-caliber infantry guns, they had not yet been delivered to the base, much to Bai Lang's annoyance. Gao Runjiao also had no choice but to react to the Commander's Hall.

The establishment of a new branch of the armed forces is so difficult, which is inseparable from the support of technical forces, and even more inseparable from the dedication of professional officers.

Bai Lang used to be Wu Luzhen's drunken officer, and the reason why he was able to serve as the commander of the armored battalion this time was because of Wu Luzhen's deliberate recommendation, as far as Gao Runzheng knew, transferring Bai Lang to command the armored battalion seemed to be a direct order from the president, and the president seemed to determine the first combat direction of the armored forces in the future as the district of the three eastern provinces, because Bai Lang had spent some time with Wu Luzhen in the three eastern provinces and was more familiar with the local climate and terrain.

For Bai Lang, the Ministry of Run is still quite satisfied, in his opinion, although this person does not have much culture. But he still has some talent in tactics, and he has a relatively strict grasp of the discipline of the troops, but the shortcomings are also obvious, this person has a heavier gangsterism and likes to solve problems single-handedly. This does not seem to be conducive to commanding a large army to fight, and the Ministry of Prison has reported this situation to the commander-in-chief. It is hoped that the Commander-in-Chief will be able to take into account the need to expand the size of the armored forces in the future. Bai Lang didn't seem to be the most suitable corpsion-level commander.

After the practice, Bu Runsan called Bai Lang to his side and told Danju.

"Battalion Commander Bai, I came here this time, I won't stay long, I'm going to continue my journey to Wuhan, you still have to pay close attention to the training of the troops, I think the commander's hall seems to mean that he intends to expand the armored battalion into an armored regiment, and when the time comes, more officers and soldiers will be transferred, and you have to start the matter of opening up the barracks now. Dig the foundation first, and when the materials come over, we will build a few more dormitories, and the area of this scraping training ground must be expanded, and the maintenance of armored cars cannot be neglected, those 20 or so mechanics are our treasures, they are the best masters, our armored battalion is no better than other troops, this officer and soldier are literate, in the future, everyone will have to learn to repair armored cars, and you must also learn repair techniques. ”

Bai Lang nodded and asked, "Sir, when will you come back when you go to Wuhan?" ”

"It's hard to say. When I went to Wuhan, I went to the Hanyang Arsenal to receive a new armored train. No one is more familiar with armored trains than I am, and maybe the factory needs me to guide them. ”

"A new armored train? Is it a train gun? German artillery shrugged over? ”

"It's been sent, but the assembly has not yet been completed, and after the assembly is completed, even if our armored troops have train guns, the caliber of the cannon is 280 mm, the range is long, and the power is strong, enough to bombard the battleship, in the future, maybe we can also intervene in this coastal defense matter, of course, we are the 6th Army, we don't compete with the navy, and in the future, we will really fight with the Japanese, let's pull the train artillery to Lushun to open the foreign meat, and see if the Japanese fortress is powerful, or our shells are powerful."

Accompanied by Bai Lang, he went to the unit to inspect his duties, then went to the oil depot to check the oil storage, and only left the unit an hour later, but still got on the truck and returned to the "Dongfang Jiazi No. 1 Station" to board the armored train. At the sound of the order, the steel monster roared again and set out on its journey.
