The engine was fully loaded, and the fire in the boiler was blazing brightly, at a speed that led to ten speeds, and at this speed, the train was moving rapidly on the tracks, and the sonorous sound of the wheels colliding with the seams of the rails was very rhythmic and invigorating.

In the roar of this kind of train march, Zhao Bei and his staff team were holding a military meeting in a carriage, because Lan Tianwei was ordered to command the West Road Column to march from the road to the capital, so the current head of the staff team is actually Jiang Fangzhen.

It is not accurate to say that it is a military meeting, this is just a military operation deduction on a map, and the advance plan has already been determined in the division headquarters of the 6th Armored Division, and there is no need to revise it, and what needs to be done now is to determine the exact location of the breakthrough point of the troops according to the information that has been gathered.

The information was sent by the informants lurking in the city through the radio station, which was not easy, because the coup forces in the city had already implemented communication controls, and it was difficult to say whether they had radio communication and positioning devices, and the informants still had to take a lot of risks.

According to the latest information just received, the coup forces have now taken control of the presidential palace, the National Assembly, the police headquarters, the Ministry of National Defense, the telephone office, the telegraph office, the radio station, and other key departments, and have also set up roadblocks and guards at key intersections into the city.

Zhao Bei commanded the East Road Column, and this counterinsurgency force will drive directly to Beijing by railway, and its destination is the Daqianmen Railway Station, and according to intelligence, the current Daqianmen Railway Station has been subject to military control, and all the line bureaus have received telegrams from the Beijing Terminus and have canceled all civilian trains.

Because there are not many trains, there are actually only two regiments of troops following Zhao Bei's actions, an infantry regiment and a tank regiment, although the strength is not much, but Zhao Bei believes that this force is enough to cope with the situation, after all, the rebels do not have a few armored combat vehicles, and as long as the morning dawns, once the air force acts, the situation will be settled, and all that remains is to stabilize social order and arrest the rebels.

Despite this, he can't be careless, so Zhao Bei still decided to carefully choose a breakthrough point to minimize the resistance to the march, and his primary goal of the march is now clear, it is the Capitol, because now, the Capitol has become the headquarters of the rebels, which is also the news obtained from the intelligence just now.

At this moment, Jiang Fangzhen and others are studying the route to the Capitol on the map, starting from the railway station to the Capitol, how to go the fastest? Where to walk with least resistance?

The snake can't be headless, as long as the rebel command is killed. The rest is actually a law and order operation.

This armed counterinsurgency is not just a military operation, but a political operation, with a clear purpose, that is, to remove all "unreliable elements" from Congress, which is the first step in turning Congress into a rubber stamp.

Constitutionalism still has to be done, but it must be done in accordance with Zhao Bei's will.

"Now, how far is it from the train station?"

Zhao Bei asked a staff officer, and the staff officer made a phone call and quickly replied.

"There are still two kilometers to go, and the armored patrol car ahead has already found the obstacles set up by the rebels on the railroad tracks, and has cleared them, and the train is now slowing down to be in good measure."

"Maybe it's going to be on fire soon. After taking control of the train station, we should break through into the city from here. ”

Jiang Fangzhen took the compass and clicked on a point on the map, which was the breakthrough point he had chosen.

Zhao Bei glanced at the map, nodded, and said, "You just decide, and the West Road Column should also notify them immediately, so as not to be accidentally injured when they get it." ”

"Commander-in-chief, telegram, telegram from the western mountains."

At this time, a staff officer came over and handed over a copy of the telegram to Zhao Bei, but it was a report on the battle situation sent by Qin Sihu and others from the Xishan mansion.

"Very good, they withstood five attacks, the enemy has used howitzers, it seems, the Wehrmacht artillery has also participated in the battle, but I don't know which guy is in command of this rebel army, he actually dares to shell the house, to be honest, I really admire his courage, if this person is not killed, I really want to ask him what he thinks in the future."

After reading the telegram, Zhao Bei said a few words and handed the transcript of the telegram to Jiang Fangzhen.

Jiang Fangzhen glanced at the telegram and said, "According to this style of play, the Four Tigers may be able to hold out for an hour or two, and after that, it will be difficult to say the battle situation." ”

"Anyway, it's almost dawn, and they won't be able to beat it by then. Just retreat, I told them, they won't stick there, and as long as the day dawns, the overall situation is decided, and how can the rebels pull it back? ”

Zhao Bei snorted, picked up the military ruler, compared it on the map a few times, and measured the distance between several key locations.

Before he finished his work, the staff officer was poisoned.

"Commander-in-chief, the train is about to stop, the armored patrol car in front has already engaged the rebels, and the tank commander suggests getting off here and advancing along the country road towards the city."

"Okay, you go and arrange, and the others do their jobs." Zhao Bei nodded.

Soon, the train stopped, and then the tanks that were being dragged on the flatbed were started and began to spin in place on the flatbed. After rotating an angle, he will move forward or backward, and then smash from the flatbed truck to the roadbed a few feet below, and then slide down the slope of the roadbed, this process is very thrilling and very exciting, especially in the tactical action of the Black Punbu Corpse Sect, it is indeed a severe roar on the driving skills of the armored troops

The unloading process lasted less than ten minutes before it was completely over, except for one tank with a minor malfunction in its running gear due to too much impact, and the others were in good condition and ready to go into battle immediately.

In addition to tanks, there were armored vehicles, which were used to transport infantry and fuel ammunition, and there were not many of them, so it was necessary to have part of the soldiers go into the city on foot, so that the speed of movement of the troops was limited, and the advance began at a kilometer from the city, and it was still raining. The road was slippery and the speed of advance was further affected.

Zhao Bei insisted on being with the soldiers who were advancing on foot, and in order to protect the safety of the commander-in-chief, several tanks and armored vehicles rushed to the forefront, advancing along the road to the Daqianmen railway station, and soon encountered the resistance of the rebels, but the rebels' will to fight was obviously very problematic, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the rebels broke up, and many officers and soldiers even surrendered immediately, and quickly changed their positions, following behind the commander-in-chief who was advancing on foot, and became a member of the counterinsurgency force.

This armed conflict was not a life-and-death fight, these rebel soldiers were only deceived, especially the soldiers, they did not know what task they were carrying out, when they learned that the unit they were ordered to block was a counterinsurgency force under the personal command of the commander-in-chief, they immediately understood who the real rebels were, so their position changed without difficulty.

This march was more like an armed parade, with tanks in front, mechanized infantry behind, and then infantry on foot, and the size of this infantry contingent on foot continued to grow, and there was no doubt that it was clear which side of the army was smaller.

Effortlessly broke into the city, and after sporadic gunfights, the Daqianmen Railway Station, located south of Zhengyangmen, was recaptured by the counterinsurgency forces, and a rebel infantry battalion ordered to guard it was all right. The battalion commander was detained by the battalion lieutenant, and all the officers and men threw away the white towels they wore on their arms, and then became part of the counterinsurgency force.

Surrounded by soldiers, Zhao Bei walked through the continuous autumn rain into the dispatch room of the railway station, comforted the frightened stationmaster a little, and then gave him an order.

Ma Qipai sent a telegram informing all stations along the route to resume the normal operation of civilian trains and prevent all military trains from entering Beijing

"Yes! Commander in chief! ”

The stationmaster is also a veteran, and he also followed the commander-in-chief to fight in the north and south, and as soon as the commander-in-chief said these words, the stationmaster immediately calmed down, stood up and saluted, and then immediately issued an order to the dispatcher and telegraph operator around him.

Walking out of the dispatch room, standing on the open-air platform, in the light, the drizzle was dense, everywhere you could see those Wehrmacht officers and soldiers marching in formation, all wearing raincoats, no one made a loud noise, only the simple and neat command sound, everything was in order, it was hard to imagine that just a few minutes ago, there was a shootout here.

"Tian Jinfu!" Zhao Bei turned around and shouted.

"In!" Tian Jinfu immediately rushed over.

"Immediately send people to the suburbs, gather the veterans, let them organize after dawn, and when it is past twelve o'clock, they will enter the city and assemble at the railway station

"Yes".

Tian Jinfu immediately carried out this order, but he only called a few adjutants and staff officers to do this errand, but he himself did not leave Zhao Bei half a step, and now, Qin Sihu is commanding the battle on the side of Xishan, so he Tian Jinfu is the personal bodyguard of the commander-in-chief.

"I didn't expect it to go so well, I thought I was going to have a short assault. If I had known that it would be so easy, I might as well have stayed at the headquarters of the Sixth Division and slept so that my cold would have gotten better soon. As soon as it rains, I'm afraid I'll have a high fever for a while

Zhang Xiaozhun walked over and complained to Zhao Bei.

"Don't worry, when the counterinsurgency is over, I will give you a big vacation and let you go to Xishan to recuperate. Let's march this time, this is called killing chickens with a knife. It seems that we still overestimate the strength of the coup d'étatists, that is, a rabble

Zhao Bei smiled, he was in a very good mood, this is also the truth, before the action, he was indeed a little nervous, especially on the way to the armored division station, he had been worried about going one step late, but he didn't expect that the opponent was much slower than him, the distance was closer than him, but the arrival was slower than him, maybe it was also the "Jiang Gan, Mr. Xiao played some role in it, but then again, even if Lu Jin rushed to the armored division headquarters before Zhao Bei and Lan Tianwei, it may not be able to strengthen the strength of the rebels, Because the battle process itself has proved that Zhao Bei's prestige is unmatched, even if Lu Jin masters the Sixth Armored Division, Zhao Bei is sure to take back the command effortlessly.

At this time, a battle also broke out in Beicheng, and the gunfire was more intensive than the battle at the railway station, but after the occupation of the railway station, the East Road Column did not advance again, and the reason why the battle broke out in Beicheng is currently unknown. Zhao Bei glanced at the time, it was six o'clock in the morning, not far from dawn, and at this time, the telegraph operator also received a telegram from the West Road Column, Lan Tianwei had commanded the West Road Column to rush to the western suburbs of the city, and they could already see the street lights in the city.

"The summons ordered all troops, as soon as the Western Route Column arrived, to immediately proceed quickly in accordance with the plan for the march, to regain the radio station, the telegraph office, the telephone office, the police headquarters, the presidential palace, the Reichstag, and other important departments, and immediately after the radio station was recovered, broadcast my recorded speech, so as to stabilize the people's minds.

”

Looking at a report on the battle situation just sent, Zhao Bei calmly gave an order to an adjutant, and at this time, the gunfire in the city became sparse again. (To be continued.)
