Anti-Japanese War: Li Yunlong dared to attack Taiyuan

"This military train has sixty tanks and thirty heavy artillery pieces. With these tanks, we can form a tank regiment!"

Sun Desheng nodded, seeming to understand. Ma Renxin sighed again and continued, "In short, the commander wants us to go ahead and do it. Lead a regiment of cavalry toward Chita and investigate the situation inside the city."

"Yes!"

Soon, Sun Desheng led a regiment of cavalry towards Chita.

At this moment, a scout came galloping towards Ma Renxin on his warhorse: "Report, the Mao Xiong train is coming!"

Looking along the Trans-Siberian Railway, they saw a steam locomotive emitting black smoke coming towards them at the end of the railway.

"Ready to fight!"

Ma Renxin roared, and everyone quickly ambushed on both sides of the railway, waiting for the order to attack.

At this time, in the driver's cab of the train.

A driver and an observer were chatting. On the control panel were some food: a bowl of red vegetable soup, a plate of black bread, some meat, and a large bottle of vodka.

A big hand held up the vodka, and the observer took a big gulp of it while keeping an eye on the train tracks.

"Sergei, you bastard, leave some for me!"

"Old Ivan, you're driving a train, you can't drink while driving!"

The observer named Sergei said as he drank.

"Asshole, observers can't drink!"

Hearing this, Sergei was a little surprised and looked at Old Ivan: "Really? How come I didn't know?"

"You drunkard, I told you not to drink from the first day you started working!"

After hearing this, Sergei shrugged his shoulders and said, "So what? I've been drinking all the time and nothing has ever happened to me."

"If you give me the wine, this matter will be over!"

"Old Ivan, you're dreaming. This is my wine."

"Asshole! Don't think I won't have wine if you don't give it to me!"

While cursing, Old Ivan took out a kettle from a small partition in the cab, took a big sip, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

"Comfortable!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the front of the car shaking.

Chapter 433 The train overturned

"Sergey, stop drinking! Why is the car shaking so badly?"

Sergei put down the bottle and looked at the rails. "The rails are fine. Is there something wrong with the boiler? It exploded before, maybe the old problem has resurfaced."

"Maybe. Hopefully we can make it to Chita, then we can..."

Before the two men could finish their words, the locomotive suddenly tilted to the left.

"Cheating!"

Although Sergei and Old Ivan were both alcoholics, they were also experienced drivers. When the front of the train began to shift to the left, they realized that something was wrong - the train had derailed!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

At this moment, a series of explosions sounded, and the explosives buried under the train tracks were detonated, breaking the already twisted railway.

The entire train left the tracks and rushed towards the open space next to it. The body of the train also went from tilting at a small angle at the beginning to crashing directly into the ground.

In the second carriage's private room, Rodion was enjoying hot pot. He had just picked up a piece of meat when he felt the train begin to tilt. He quickly dropped his fork and reached out to grab a pillar to try to steady himself.

The hot pot on the table in front of him was overturned, and then Rodion's body fell to the side uncontrollably.

"It's going to overturn!" Rodion immediately realized that the train might overturn.

But at this moment, an explosion was heard.

Rodion clung to the pillar with one hand, curling up into a ball. He had already realized that this wasn't just a rollover, but an attack. In this place, the attackers were most likely the Japanese.

"crunch..."

"boom!"

There was an unpleasant and harsh sound of metal friction, and the train consisting of forty carriages began to overturn.

The inertia generated by the rollover of the modified front of the train caused the second, third, and tenth carriages to overturn. Although the rear carriages did not overturn, they hit the front carriages.

The derailed train plowed a long furrow in the ground.

From time to time, the sounds of metal colliding and objects falling could be heard from the train.

After a brief moment of calm, a Russian soldier staggered out of the overturned carriage.

The Russian soldier looked around in confusion, and then more and more Russian soldiers came out of the carriage.

At this time, Ma Renxin was observing the overturned Soviet train with a telescope and a walkie-talkie in his hand.

"Fire!"

Give an order.

The cavalry column soldiers ambushed on both sides of the railway track pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

A series of gunshots rang out, and a group of Russian soldiers who had just climbed out of the train were killed. Some Russian soldiers who were about to climb out of the carriage immediately retracted their heads when they heard the gunshots.

Some Russian soldiers wanted to crawl out from the other side, but there were also people ambushing on the other side, and these Russian soldiers were shot dead as soon as they jumped down.

"Don't panic, don't climb through the windows, go to the cargo hold to get your weapons, go to the cargo hold!"

Rodion narrowly escaped death because he had huddled together before the train rolled over. After the train rolled over, he held on to the pillar tightly and did not fall with the train.

After the carriage stabilized, he immediately climbed out of the compartment and began to command the battle.

After hearing Rodion's words, some of the Russian soldiers quickly calmed down.

"Notify the cars behind that haven't overturned to immediately enter the freight car and get the tanks out!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Rodion was extremely calm. He understood that this was a premeditated attack by the Japanese. The supplies transported on this train were extremely important and must not fall into the hands of the Japanese.

"You guys, take your men to the freight car, prepare the explosives, and wait for my order to die together with the attackers!"

"Yes!"

"Send a telegram to Chita, saying our unit is under attack and requesting reinforcements. Also, send a telegram to the surrounding airports, asking them to quickly send aircraft for support!"

"Yes!"

Listening to Rodion's orders, the originally panicked Russian soldiers calmed down.

But at this moment, a burst of rapid gunfire rang out.

"Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta..."

Immediately afterwards, holes were seen being punched in the iron sheets of the train carriages, and large-caliber machine gun bullets directly penetrated the carriages of this Soviet train.

At the positions on both sides of the road, dozens of RPK light machine guns were firing at the four carriages transporting soldiers.

In particular, the two carriages at the back that had not overturned were given special attention. More than a dozen machine guns fired from the front, middle and rear directions, aiming to kill all the Russian soldiers in the carriages.

After a machine gun fired two hundred rounds, Liu Zhuangshi, commander of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, the group responsible for the ambush, ordered a charge. The cavalry soldiers, instead of riding horses, charged directly towards the train on foot. By this time, the number of Russian soldiers still alive on the train was limited.

Occasionally, some Russian soldiers tried to resist, but they were shot in the head as soon as they showed their heads.

"Pull away!"

Next to the freight car, several soldiers quickly secured the ropes and stood on both sides of the car, while several other soldiers aimed their submachine guns at the car.

"ah!"

Several soldiers who were pulling the iron door of the carriage exerted force and opened the door, revealing the cargo inside.

Two Russian T34 tanks were parked in the carriage with their gun barrels facing each other.

"Holy crap! It's a tank carriage! I was wondering why it was so big! It turns out it's carrying tanks!"

A soldier excitedly jumped onto the carriage and touched the big guy in front of him. This thing was much more powerful than the Japanese's tiny tank.

"Next section!"

"Yes!"

The carriages were opened one by one. Originally, these carriages were flatbed carriages, but they were added to prevent them from being discovered by the Japanese reconnaissance planes.

With the exception of the doors, the outer metal sheets of these train cars could be removed. When all the iron sheets of the freight train cars were removed and counted, there were sixty tanks in total.

"Commander, we've made a fortune! Sixty tanks!"

Liu Zhuangshi rushed to Ma Renxin with excitement to report.

But Ma Renxin's face showed no surprise. Instead, he said calmly, "Immediately organize all the soldiers in the column who can drive tanks. Drive the tanks away. Use horses to pull away all the artillery pieces. Transfer the ammunition as quickly as possible."

After hearing this, Liu Zhuangshi scratched his head and said, "Commander, it will be dark soon."

"The Russians are different from the Japanese. Their planes can take off after dark. Hurry up! If you're any later, I think their planes will be here soon!"

"Yes!"

After hearing this, Liu Zhuangshi immediately began to organize people to drive tanks, pull artillery, and transfer ammunition.

About an hour later, it was completely dark, all the tanks and artillery had been moved, and only the last few ammunition were still being transported.

"what sound?"

A soldier who was carrying ammunition frowned and looked at his companions.

“It seems like a voice from heaven!”
