Chapter 312: Armored Train
The tall grass covers the entire mountain range and the scarce trees. Reverse burning of the grass under the nails
More than a dozen of them were dressed in tatters, and in some places they were sewn with cloth woven from sisal silk and some of them were covered with a piece of linen cloth around their lower bodies. **The upper body, because of advancing in the wild grass, was cut by the blades of grass with red and bloody traces.
Each of them carried a spear on his back and a mountain knife at his waist, and marched through the barren grass taller than a man. The leader kept splitting the weeds and treading on the thick weeds. Traces of long walks behind them. It stretches far, far away, showing that they have come here from a distant land.
The wild grass is not easy to cut, it is extremely smooth, and there are not many wild grasses that can be cut down with a knife.
Perhaps tired of chopping, a strong man at the head stopped and said, "Mad Cow, change you to open the way."
The man known as the mad cow, who was tall and big, with a simple smile on his face, pulled out the big knife at his waist without saying a word, and slashed at the wild grass in front of him. Like a bulldozer, the efficiency is not known to be much higher than that of a strong man who has just started.
"Look at you mad cow is also an honest person, ***. It turned out to be a bad thing
The man who hit the head scolded, he touched the palm of the blister, looked at the smiling people behind him hatefully, and said, "No, everyone will take turns for a while, and you can't do this work alone." Damn, I can't remember the strength of a mad cow, he is definitely as strong as a cow, and I would have let him take care of this job if I knew it. ”
The people below didn't dare to make a sound, and they all went forward silently.
Soon, after crossing two mountain ridges. Standing on a piece of gnawing wall, you can see the stop. A railroad across the mountains.
"Ming Tsai, are you sure you heard the sound of the car?" The strong man who started looked at the overgrown railway, and frowned: "If I want you to lie to us and make so much effort to get here, I will have to tear you apart." ”
The person known as Ming Tsai is a young man of twenty-five or sixteen, and Cao Chongming is his name. Hearing the words of the head of his group, that is, Li Tai, who had been hitting Li Tai just now, he shrunk his neck. said: "Head, how can I dare to make you poor, I did hear the sound of a train." ”
Mad Bull's personality is a little straightforward, he blinked, stuck his mountain knife in it, and said, "I don't understand, there will be trains in these realms."
Li Tai glanced at him viciously and said: "Mad Cow, you know what a fart, there are many people in these realms who are alive like us, maybe the zombies have long been wiped out by humans, just thinking of the town where they live far away." is still rampant with zombies, and his words are a little weak-hearted.
Fortunately, the mad cow is not a person who drills the horns of the bull, so he didn't fight back at all, but giggled beside him.
A group of more than a dozen people cut a runway from the mountains and went down to the edge of the railway. Li Tai, a rough man, learned Sherlock Holmes. Pretending to observe: "A few years." The railroad is supposed to be covered with rust, but there is a track mark that is clearly pressed out recently, which should be proof that a train has traveled. If you look at these weeds, there is nothing surprising about their appearance, but if we look at the height of the weeds, when the train is moving, it will definitely overwhelm them, and you see, there are still broken here."
There is no doubt that this evidence, which can be seen at a glance, made Li Tai's sassy bag get a fart from the team members, which made his mood wonderful.
The mad bull scratched his head and said, "Head." I've heard of some kind of legend like a train ghost. You say it could be this train" This train is controlled by ghosts, like pirate skeleton ships. They come and go without a trace? ”
Cao Chongming and the others shivered, and in broad daylight, they also felt cold, and that creepy feeling made them wonder if what the mad cow said was true.
Li Tai gave the mad cow a meal of beans, beat him to the head of the mouse, and said, "You mad cow, don't scare people here." If it's really ghost control. Why have we lived in this area for six years? But you've never heard a train appear? He looked up at the straight railway, which seemed to lead to the end of the sky, and the group on the railroad seemed so insignificant
It seems that the morale of the whole group is a little low. After all, no one knows when this train will be
Appear.
Speaking of which, the place where Li Tai and the others lived, was in this endless mountain forest, with only a hundred people, hiding in this mountain forest, avoiding the pursuit of zombies, working all day long, all they did was a dull meal. This small mountain village composed of more than 100 people, without any entertainment, only a few women have become princesses in the hearts of all men.
Over the past few years, there have been fewer and fewer people in Xiaorang Village. Not a cause of death, but one. I couldn't stand it anymore, and went out to look for other humans who might exist, but I never heard from him again. According to Li Tai, they have become a member of the zombies, how can there be any news?
The sound of the train heard by Cao Chongming made Li Tai resolutely bring his group of brothers over to see what was going on after thinking about it for a few days, because of the life in the small mountain village, he had enough, it was completely like a free-range land, and if he stayed any longer, it would definitely make people crazy.
The group walked up and down the iron for a while. From time to time, you can see weeds in them
They also had no direction, just walked along the railway, and it was not until they were tired of walking that the group sat down to rest and eat the coarse bread they had brought.
Lee Tae didn't know what he was walking for. He just wanted to walk like this, and if there was no harvest, he still needed to return to the small village in the mountains in the afternoon, because their roots were in the small village. In these last days, they are homeless, and this mountain is their home.
Sitting on the railroad tracks, Li Tai had only finished eating half a piece of coarse bread when he felt a slight tremor coming from the railroad tracks.
"There is a situation
Li Tai stood up suddenly, put half of the coarse cake back in his pocket, lay on the rails, put his ears close, listened carefully, and after a while, he became excited, and said, "There is something moving on the rails." It should be a train, yes, only a train will travel on the railway. ”
The others cheered, rubbing their hands together and looking at both ends of the railway.
Li Tai calmed down and said: "What the mad cow said just now is not unreasonable, everyone hide for a while, confirm that it is a human train, and it is not too late for us to come out again."
Cao Chongming said burdenedly: "But the head." What if the train passes by all at once, and I don't know when I will have to wait
Li Tai was right to think about it, and after thinking about it for a while, he used a mountain knife to cut down a small tree next to him, cut it off, stuck it on the side of the railway, and took off his clothes. Hanging on this planted branch, he said: "If it were people, they would definitely show this, and if it was a ghost, they would just drive straight over." You all do it, hurry up
A dozen men took off their clothes, propped them up with branches, and lined up on the side of the railroad.
The characteristic sound of the train was faintly heard, and Li Tai gave a look, and everyone retreated from the railroad and hid in the dense bushes next to it.
On the railroad that was very far away, a train with only six cars was running at a moderate degree, holding a field of kilometers. But it was not a train in the sense of a joke, because its six carriages, all of which were surrounded by steel, were exposed, all of them were a fierce barrel, and there were a large number of machine gun holes.
From a distance, it looks like six round hills are moving.
In fact, it is an armored train, with strong firepower, long-lasting driving ability, and strong defense capabilities.
Armored trains, it should be said that they are a product of the Second World War, they were one of the most difficult armored weapons of that time. Especially with the addition of a large number of artillery, the armored train can serve the purpose of suppressing the target. The extensive access of the railway also provides a more sensitive way for the armored train to move, which can appear in many directions for mobile fire support.
As long as you have watched the movies of World War I and World War, especially the domestically produced guerrillas, you can know how powerful the armored train was at that time.
Since the restoration and opening of the railway, from the first start of the transport train into use, the safety of the railway has become the most urgent thing to solve. Because one of the nests is cleared, there will be some zombies. Or that as time goes by, there will be new zombies moving to Brother Zhou on the railway. These are all questions to consider.
In order to ensure the safety of the railway, it is somewhat unrealistic to send military airships, or warplanes to protect them.
The degree of transport trains. Generally at the time of 100 km to 120 km, and the clumsiness of military airships, the lack of anti-air capabilities. The degree of fighters makes it impossible for them to become a force for ensuring safety on the railway.
In the beginning, some machine gun towers were welded out of the transport train and soldiers were sent to protect them, but this did not quite meet the requirements of the railway fire fulcrum. So the armored train of the First and Second World Wars. It was proposed, and the task of manufacturing armored trains also fell to the armored manufacturing plant.
In order to put it into use quickly, of course, it is impossible for the armor factory to make a new list, so in the train station, find a broken locomotive and carry out a major renovation. On the other hand. To create some flat cars, in the simplest way, this is to drive the Sand Snake tank into these flat cars and use them directly as a turret.
That's how the first armored train came about. Except for the locomotive, the other sections are all about putting tanks on it to form an attack force.
Tested, this rudimentary armored train. But it can wield a huge combat power. The machine gun strafing of the Sand Snake tank, as well as the sharp suppression of the main gun, are very good. At least the fire requirements of the armored train were met.
However, in the end, this armored train was still attached to the tail section of the transport train, forming an improvised armed transport train.
The strong ability of the armored manufacturing plant, in just half a month, with full strength, the first real armored train began to enter the line and appeared on the railway.
It consisted of six knots, and its whole body was surrounded by round, heavy steel, and after testing, at least the main gun of the Sand Snake tank could not penetrate its armor. And the artillery added to these six early trains is much more flexible than tanks. The larger the space, the more machine gun holes can be provided, and the more ferocious the firepower becomes.
What's more, the thick armor is enough to ensure the safety of the soldiers inside, and if the iron door of the carriage is not opened, it is impossible for the zombies to attack the soldiers inside.
After simple tests, this armored train was officially put into service alone, and it ... The function of the direct letter of the continent, the bad Lei Shi function is the Dugu railway parts of the war department six criminal mouth responsibility to clean up all the problems on the railway, surround and deal with zombies, as well as maintain the safety of the railway, defend some transit platforms and so on.
As its first commander, Fu Chengying served as a woman and held the responsibility of the supreme commander.
Fu Chengying, as the only surviving train conductor in the Chamber of Commerce, is in her forties and has rich experience in train command. At the same time in the last days. Let her learn some military skills, and the combination of the two allowed her to win the position of the highest commander of the first armored train in one fell swoop among the many elites.
According to some common practices in the last days, zombies will not move here in these mountains, and it is still very safe for the railway.
But Fu Chengying didn't dare to take it lightly, the first time it actually operated, the armored train needed to successfully arrive at Lenghu, and then return from Lenghu to Qingyuan City. in the process. The theory is that there will be no accidents, but the vagaries of the end times are unpredictable, and no one can predict them, so she has to be careful.
Just as she thought, there was a presence on the first armored car of the armored train, and on the railway in front of her, there was a row of tattered clothes of various colors. This situation quickly reached Fu Chengying's hands, and she decisively ordered the armored train to stop, and at the same time notified all combat units to enter the battle
State.
The armored train was not very fast, and the number of carriages was small, and an emergency brake was only a moment, and the armored train stopped.
Through the observation system on an armored train. But there is no movement in this area. However, the careful observers still found that these branches that had been cut off had just been cut down.
In fact, when the armored train appeared, Li Tai and they were stunned.
Like a train, every one of them has seen it, but it is the first time they have seen the appearance of an armored train, after all, the history of armored trains is too long, and there are very few TV movies about armored trains, and many people have indeed never seen this kind of armored train.
"Head, what the hell is this?"
Mad Cow's question, Li Tai thought for a moment and said with certainty: "This should be an armored train." It's just that he ***, this thing only appeared in World War I and World War, and then it was replaced because of its various defects, how could there be an armored train? ”
What Cao Chongming values most is the question of whether the train is controlled by ghosts.
But the answer soon appeared, and in one of the armored compartments, an iron door opened, and a small group of soldiers jumped down, and in the midst of the guard, walked towards the hanging clothes.
"The head, it's a man, it's a man
The roar of a mad cow is naturally impossible to hide. In the shouts of this small group of soldiers, Li Tai, who was killed, could only walk out of hiding in embarrassment and shouted: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, your own people." Own. ”
Next, naturally, Li Tai and the others were brought to Fu Chengying, and after inquiring about their situation, confirming their settlement, Fu Chengying was familiar with the road, calling the Ministry of Railways, reporting the situation of this small settlement, and then the Ministry of Railways submitted it to the Chamber of Commerce.
Compared to the uniform of the armored train, Li Tai dressed like a beggar. This makes them wonder, how the hell do these people do it, what is the outside world like, don't they need to face the zombies?
Fu Chengying did not leave with Li Tai and a dozen of them, after all, this was a military armored train. There's limited space inside, and your destination is a cold lake. However, Fu Chengying believed that as long as they returned to the small mountain village where they lived, it would take two days at most, and the Chamber of Commerce's transport airship would arrive and rescue them back to Qingyuan City.
In fact, this is also the second wave of similar incidents that Fu Chengying has encountered, because this kind of residence in the mountains is too small, with a few people and dozens of people. Composed of hundreds of people, it is easy to be missed by the exploration airship. The movement of the train will not naturally be seen by them, appearing in the field of vision of the Chamber of Commerce.
No one knows how many of these people there are on this land, but it is certain that there will never be a few.
For the Chamber of Commerce, everyone is a rich and wealthy asset, and it is a category that should not be abandoned. Therefore, in view of the eagerness of some explorers, the Chamber of Commerce once again made a provision that no matter how large or small the settlement, any explorer should pay attention to it. In the event of abandonment, the explorer will be disqualified and all medals will be recorded. The heavier. There is a possibility of capital punishment.
With the full opening of the railway, the oil transportation of the three transport trains put into operation also announced that the Chamber of Commerce no longer needs to stop its military expansion operations for the sake of oil.
As a result, the two major aircraft factories, the armored equipment plant, which had been slowly ceasing to manufacture, began to produce at full capacity again. And new weapons research is again on the research agenda. Strictly speaking, the various studies of the Chamber of Commerce have begun to move from imitation to research, and they have also departed from the weapons of any country in the world that are currently known, and are embarking on a path of weapon application that is in line with the apocalyptic environment.
It seems that the abundant supply of oil has made the Chamber of Commerce more ambitious.
