Chapter 1837: The Power of Destruction
Under the premise that there are many people and thousands of young and strong people are used in one place, Even if it is a 2.5-ton large iron rod, it has been transported to the railway under the premise of combining manpower and cranes, and it has been installed, Kawasaki Meijing is quite satisfied, just now he also asked Chinese experts, knowing that this is a powerful locomotive modified over, especially several huge pillars in front, but each has a weight of more than 2.5 tons, the most important thing is that he is all made of hard steel, really put the tank under this thing, the tank looks powerful armor, it will definitely be broken by this iron pillar in the first time.

Last night, they captured Ogden, and it has been very smooth, but the destruction of less than 20 kilometers of railway, at least 5,000 people spent 1 hour, and nearly 100 tons of explosives, the effect of the destruction is not good, compared with the effect of the saboteurs, it is simply a cloud of mud.
Kawasaki Meijing didn't care about it, but yesterday's efficiency made his previous idea of using explosives and weapons to destroy the Pacific Railway fail, with his strength, in 3 days, if he wants to destroy the entire Pacific Railway, capture at most some stations, and destroy most of the railway bridges and key points, the rest, it will be difficult.
He has some expectations for this saboteur, the entire army fought until 4 o'clock in the morning last night, and it was too late to start today, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and they still had 7 hours to start their operations at most, today's task was not too high, only about 200 kilometers, for the all-out armored forces, it might take five or six hours, and the requirements would be met, and the battle might end a little earlier today.
The saboteurs can only advance at a speed of 7 kilometers per hour, of course, the new army will not stop, only a part of the escort saboteurs will be left, and the rest will fight bravely, putting down 5 vehicles at a time, instead of one, on the one hand, it is a multi-headed march, on the other hand, there is also a backup, in case the Americans find out the role of this saboteur, they are not afraid of death to destroy this, is it possible, still waiting for the Sakura base to send things over.
Kawasaki Meijing entered the hinterland of the United States, not arrogant enough to put the United States at a very low level, in fact, even if it was to capture Ogden and Salt Lake City, he did not relax his vigilance against the United States, yesterday the news of the arrival of a large number of their convoys, must have leaked, the United States is trying its best to mobilize troops, ready to kill them, the time for them to fully control is two or three days, in this case, the role of the saboteur is very critical, quickly destroy the Pacific Railway, bring them enough strategic depth, and hit the United States.
Of course, it really has to destroy more than 250 kilometers, even if it is not all destroyed, on the premise that the saboteur is destroyed, he will not let the Sakura base be sent over again, that is tantamount to a waste of time, the difference between 250 kilometers and 500 kilometers, but the difficulty and strategic depth of the United States repair, really far away from the railway, in the Great Plains, the depth is also beginning to be, from the Pacific Railway, all the way to the Missouri River, more than 600 kilometers of huge depth, and when the armored forces are far away from the railway, The role of the railroad is minimal, after all, tanks can advance at a speed of more than 35 kilometers on the Great Plains, without the support of the railroad infantry and the armored forces of the American army, they cannot keep up with the speed of the new army.
The relationship between the saboteurs, in the Japanese convoy, there are more than a dozen train drivers, they have either been in this profession, or have been specially trained, maybe the truck drivers who have mastered the safety of life, there are still some deficiencies, they can not recognize the signal lights, and they will rush to the station when driving, but in terms of simple destruction, they are enough, maintain a certain speed, and then operate according to the instructions, this machine is not difficult to operate, just a few simple steps.
Smoke rose above the saboteurs, the Americans were ordered to send coal to the train, the diesel locomotive is still being studied, and even there have been phased results, but it has not been put into use for the time being, the saboteur cannot use the internal combustion engine as power, that would be too wasteful, or the traditional coal steam locomotive, or even a one-time, airdropped 50 tons of coal, without coal, can support the action of 5 saboteurs within 500 kilometers.
The train is different from the tank, the huge body allows him to load several tons of coal at will, according to the proportion of coal, but only two cubes, for a saboteur with nearly a hundred cubes, a casual movement of a little distance is enough to hold these coals.
Add coal, add water, when the coal burns rapidly in the steam engine, and the steam engine emits billowing black smoke, this strange big guy successfully starts, some of them go first, there are 4 cars, they will follow the vanguard, 80 kilometers away, will start the second saboteur operation.
Along the 500-kilometer railway, in order to ensure efficiency, it will be carried out in sections, each section is about 80 kilometers, which is also the amount of one day, on the first day, this army is not prepared to advance far, about 200 kilometers, so that under the premise of three days, it can destroy this piece of railway.
Kawasaki Meijing left about 500 tanks, they will escort the saboteur who stays here, to the next node, the rest will take these machines to the railway, the speed of the machine breaking, is 9 kilometers per hour, but if it is not destroyed, just travel, it will reach more than 40 kilometers, after all, this locomotive is a little smaller, and it is a little heavier, but under the premise of not destroying, it is still a locomotive, and it may not be possible to reach the real steam locomotive, At a speed of more than 120 kilometers, 40 kilometers is still no problem under the premise of pulling a large number of carriages, and even under the premise of increasing the power output, there is no problem to go faster.
The speed of 40 kilometers per hour is enough for the new army, basically, it is the speed of the rapid march of the tank, and the speed arrangement of the train can also be a little slower, so that it can keep up with the speed of the armored forces, the saboteur is specially designed to destroy the railway, he cannot be equipped with weapons, and there is not enough margin to equip weapons, this point has been repeatedly reminded by the Chinese side, he cannot leave the escort force to march alone, there must be a part of the armored force to escort it.
Of course, the armor force left behind to protect is only a part, and more of it is still going west in the front, and then to the west, there will be a large number of cities, even if it is a small station every 50 kilometers or so, this is also a small settlement, which must be penetrated one by one. Fortunately, except for Salt Lake City, the others are some small and medium-sized cities, which can be occupied without much attack, and in order to save time, they will only destroy the outer train stations, force the city's armed forces, and not come out to affect them, and then, when the saboteurs pass by, they can go away.
After the saboteur equipment is completed, those Americans are strong, and it is useless, for these Americans, Japan did not do much, according to China's requirements, they will not carry out massacres in the United States, what really shows merit, or the armed forces, killing these civilians is useless, the Japanese just ordered them to be tied to the place, guarded by more than 50 armored vehicles, to prevent them from destroying the saboteurs, the saboteurs can only destroy the railway at a speed of 7 to 9 kilometers when they are not traveling at high speed, all the way, This speed, that is, the speed at which ordinary people run, some people run faster, can catch up with the saboteurs, this is a civilian machine, there is no protective force, and there is no machine gun, in order to ensure the efficiency of destruction, they have to be safe, 30 armored vehicles, in the back, keep an eye on them, until an hour and a half later, after driving more than 10 kilometers, you can catch up with the large army.
A large number of armored vehicles began to start, but the armored vehicles could not compare to the saboteurs, and the three huge iron pillars, like heavy hammers, under the huge power of the steam engine, began to hammer towards the railway. More than 2.5 tons of heavy objects, smashed on the railway at a very fast speed, whether it was the rails, or the sleepers, could not withstand such destruction, the huge harsh sound of iron and iron colliding, and finally a section of the railway was quickly destroyed, the saboteurs kept advancing, the destruction was still intensifying, with a constant speed, non-stop thousands, and the more than 300 tanks responsible for the escort were showing the appearance of stars, guarding the surroundings to prevent unnecessary attacks.
The Americans looked at all this dumbfounded, they didn't expect that this thing they had just loaded would actually be a thing that was specially designed to destroy the railway, why did this thing appear here, why it was so effective, because the muzzle of the armored car was pointed at them, and the Japanese officer sternly ordered them not to cross the minepool, until the armored car drove 1 kilometer, they walked to the side of the railway in horror and carefully looked at the results of the destruction.
Seeing the situation from a distance, I basically deduced the effect of this saboteur, but when I really saw it up close, I couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, Salt Lake City is a railway hub city, this city, itself is in the process of building the Pacific Railway, gradually developed, and even the entire pillar industry is also a railway, close to 5000 strong, more than 20% of the railway practitioners, in their minds, how can they never imagine that there will be a machine dedicated to destroying the railway, the most important thing is that It was also taken by the Japanese to the heart of the United States.
Why is that? A group of people have not even felt the danger of surviving the emotion of the awakening, and they have been brought by everything in front of them, in front of them, is a messy scene, destroying the railway machine, the efficiency is very high, directly the sleepers and the foundation are destroyed, the railroad track is already a devastation, not all moved, but to rebuild, it is really difficult and abnormal, has walked out of the machine of several hundred meters, so that it is still destroying the railway.
