In this era, even decades later, armored trains are the largest killer weapons on land, as long as there are railways, there is room for armored trains to be active, and even some large-scale battles, specially laid steel rails for armored trains, in order to make these armored trains more free to move.

Strategic artillery is the strongest weapon on land, but more than a certain caliber of artillery, can only be used on the shore defense battery, or fixed strategic defense, inconvenient to move is his biggest problem, in this way, there are many ways to bypass, these can only be used as an important national defense project or coastal defense project, not as a mobile force, this is also the fundamental reason why the tank has become the main arm of the army in later generations, and even self-propelled artillery is also taking this road, but no matter how powerful self-propelled artillery, It is rare to exceed 200 mm, because if it exceeds 200 mm, especially 300 mm, the weight of the gun itself will be greatly increased, so that the ability of the gun to move will be reduced to a minimum.

As early as the beginning of the 20th century, the artillery on the armored train had reached the level of battleship main guns, although it was still the lowest battleship main gun, but on land, it would be very terrible.

Ordinary tanks can't do a lot compared to armored trains are much easier, ordinary tanks, more than 30 tons, in the absence of high-horsepower engines, it will be very difficult, and even unable to bear such a weight, in the 21st century, the main battle tank only reached more than 50 tons, before World War II, more than 30 tons of tanks, for a long time, are the main battle tanks, only a country's engine to a certain extent, can be manufactured, during World War II, If the aircraft carrier is the most ultimate weapon of the Navy, then the main battle tank is the strongest weapon on land.

Even if it is the main battle tank of the 21st century, they dare not put it in line with an armored train in the middle of the 20th century, not to mention the strongest, 900 mm artillery armored train, which is the most fierce artillery on land and sea, it is said to be an ordinary naval gun, between 250 mm and 350 mm artillery, this is also a big killer on land, not to mention the degree of protection of most armored trains, which are on the same level as the battleship, no matter how powerful the tank is, it is about 50 tons at most, it is impossible to make such a strong artillery, It is impossible to have the same protection as a battleship, not even the reactive armor of later generations.

As early as the beginning of the 20th century, a train can carry a total weight of about 5,000 tons, armored trains, not as long as trains, plus about 8 sections of the locomotive, can also reach more than 400 tons, such a tonnage, enough to stuff a few cannons, protection above, is also strong enough, one or two hundred millimeters is normal, three or four hundred millimeters is normal, so that the armored trains of Central Asia in the 20th century, against the main battle tanks of the 21st century, in a head-on confrontation, will fall behind, let alone the tanks of this era.

The tanks of the U.S. army, or the Japanese tanks, are the most basic tanks, these tanks do not have any artillery, for the tanks without artillery, for the most basic armored trains, it will be very disadvantageous, the various weapons of the tank for the armored train, there is almost no threat, the caliber of the machine gun, even if it is equipped with Chinese armor-piercing shells, the armor-piercing capacity is about 100 mm at most, even if it is the lowest armored train, his protection is more than 100 mm, not to mention the various weapons of the armored train, But it can pose a threat to tanks, even if it is only a train equipped with an ordinary 102 mm gun, and can easily penetrate the armor of all tanks except the Chinese main battle tank.

The Japanese army is also worried that Salt Lake City will come up with an armored train, after all, such a quick response, must have relied on, after all, Ogden's movements, more than 50 kilometers away can be seen clearly, must have been attacked on a large scale, at this moment, still swaggering over, there must be a certain strength, even if it is not an armored train, it is also a strong strength, but no one thought that it was actually a simple train, depending on the situation, it is still an ordinary kind, There is no decoration or armament on the outside, and there may be some caves inside, but it is certain that it is not an armored train.

Now, without the threat of armored trains, this train has almost become a target, and the commander in charge of Hashimoto Ryu is a little depressed, but he is also completely relieved, since such a train is here, it can't be easily let go, no matter how powerful this force is, in short, such a force is not allowed to cross here to Ogden.

Because of the difference of the enemy, the battle objectives immediately began to adjust, and the tanks that had been dispersed began to start slowly, slowly approaching the railway line, and at this moment, the troops who were still immersed in the sound of the train clanging and the Ogur landing did not realize that they would be surrounded by a group of tigers.

More than 10 kilometers, for a class car with a speed of about 50 kilometers per hour, that is, a matter of ten minutes, the tank here can even blatantly go to the side of the railway, responsible for detonating explosives, and it has been arranged in place, in this case, the train from Salt Lake City did not realize this at all, looking at the whizzing train, the Japanese demoman responsible for detonating it, was also engrossed, when the train was only 500 meters away from the place where the explosives were planted, the train did not realize it at all, They had penetrated deep into the encirclement of the Japanese armored forces, and there were explosives in front of them, which blew up the explosives of the railway.

The explosion control is not bad, detonate before the train rushes over, and it can be detonated at the same time as the train rushes over, but they just designed such a line of defense, if a control is not good, the explosives explode a little later, and are rushed by the opponent's train, the speed of the tank can not catch up with the speed of the train, no matter what this train does, in case it is a military train, it will add hundreds or even thousands of soldiers to Ogden, and it is also a very troublesome thing for Japan, Since it is certain that it is not an armored train, then it is okay to stay.

A distance of several hundred meters, for the train of this era, in an emergency, it is not enough to stop completely, and even a little later to step on the brakes, and rush directly to the blown up railway line, the possibility is very high, the Japanese choose the point of the explosion is also very critical, in fact, the train driver in the United States at that time, the first time to react, but unfortunately the braking ability of the train in this era is quite poor, they have no way at all, stop before the destroyed railway, the train rushed to the damaged railway, Rushed straight out of the railroad and rolled over on the side of the road.

The only fortunate point, that is, because of the braking, when rushing to the broken track, the speed has been reduced to less than 20 kilometers, the train rushed out of the railway, the huge charge, with the sound of the friction of the huge iron, but in the end, only two carriages rolled over, seriously deformed, the rest although tilted, still maintained upward, more than 700 people of the armed team, there are about 200 people, because they are just in which carriage, a little injured, but unfortunately the speed is too slow, the heavy damage is almost none, Most of them were slightly injured, except for the train driver, who was severely injured by the burning coals that flew out of the coal bunker, and most of the others, still uninjured.

No matter how sluggish these US troops are, they also know that they have already encountered an attack, and the other party has boldly attacked the railroad and planted explosives on the railway, then it is not an ordinary enemy, although the United States does not ban guns, but it is only non-automatic rifles, and it is impossible to sell guns with slightly more powerful guns, or even long-range rifles, otherwise it is not a ban on guns, it is a big mess in the world, and anyone can rely on money to form a unit with complete weapons and all categories, which is simply impossible.

Among all weapons, explosives are the most restricted, compared to ordinary firearms, especially single-shot rifles, at most self-defense weapons, he can not produce huge lethality, but explosives are different, even if it is a small unit of explosives, can cause huge lethality, this is absolutely prohibited, in any era, in the United States gun shops, there may be a lot of bullets, but most of the bullets are limited, one or two boxes are no problem, but if you are in large quantities, tens of thousands of rounds, The purchase of hundreds of thousands of rounds, which is impossible anywhere, cures direct gunpowder, which is absolutely impossible.

In the United States, if you want to get explosives, it is absolutely impossible to obtain them directly, and some people can only obtain explosives by knowing a little chemical knowledge, buying materials through some stores, and making some black powder and the like, but if you want to get more powerful gunpowder, it is almost impossible, this is a weapon related to national security, and it is impossible to let it go easily.

To form such a violent explosion, I don't know how much black powder to use, as little as a few hundred kilograms, more than thousands of kilograms, such a huge amount, not at all horse thieves can reach, and even burying these explosives here, it is not worth the gains, with this time, it is no problem to destroy several kilometers of railway.

This is another thing that is difficult to understand, but at this moment, these American troops on the train, there is no time to think about these things, no matter what, they must do a good job of defense, when the train has not completely stopped, and the surroundings are swaying, there are officers shouting orders, everyone is ready for battle.

For the sake of safety, the US troops did not get off the train, they knew very well that around the railway, there were patches of large plains, and even the vegetation was very small, there was nothing to protect at all, the surrounding situation was unknown, and once they went down, it was easy to be attacked, so security could not be guaranteed. Relatively speaking, the upper part of the train can be given enough protection, and the shell of the train is made of steel, at least, it can give them enough cover.

But when the battalion commander in charge of commanding the National Guard had just sat down on the order for defense, everyone was lying in the train, with the help of the cover of the carriage, some opened the windows, and carefully put the guns out of the tank window, the flames caused by the explosion had not stopped, illuminating the area, making this side as bright as day, but it was this kind of light that made them see something that they would never forget for the rest of their lives, and the battalion commander even had the urge to turn around when they saw the tanks all over the mountains rushing towards them.

It's a pity that on the railway, there is no way to turn around, not to mention that the train has rushed out of the tracks, and even some of the carriages have rebelled, and they have lost the ability to act, so they can only bite the bullet and want to resist such an attack through the defense of fixed cover.

In fact, their idea is in vain, they can't see the true face of the tank in the distance, when the tank enters a very close position, they find that they have to deal with a hideous weapon of war, they are completely at a loss, they are not facing a force of horse bandits that are not strong, why, the sky is overwhelming in front of them, what kind of country is this. It's a pity that there is nothing to see on the tank, and there is no logo on the black iron guy.

This is also a suggestion from the Chinese side, Japan was originally going to let the new army come over and plant the flag, what is more exciting than wearing the Japanese logo, planting the flag in the United States, but China knows very well that if the cherry blossom plan is just a superficial, symbolic plan, it will not be supported by the Chinese side at all, under the premise that the sky is China, what is more influential than airdropping a regiment, or even a division, into Washington, if this division or regiment falls on Capitol Hill, And it caused a huge amount of damage to Capitol Hill, so the influence came a little more.

5,000 tanks into the United States and Canada, if the bright sun flag, this does not represent the Japanese invasion, I am afraid that everyone who sees it, will feel a sense of crisis, and there is no indication, swarthy, only the appearance remains, the Japanese tanks are all captured from the United States, outside, there is a difference from the United States, but not too big, in fact, from Alaska to the United States on the way, there are indeed people to see the new army, but most of them think that it is the United States' own tanks.

After all, anyone who has a little understanding of weapons, or even the slightest understanding of the tactics of the army, will not think that Japan will send a large army to the United States in Canada, which is too dangerous, and this is also the root cause of Japan's unreasonable cards.

But now, everything is in front of them, these American officers and soldiers, basically all are blind, what the hell is this, is it a rebel, when did the armored forces also become rebels, why did they attack Ogden, and why did they attack them.
