Check in from the bright sword

"Let's go, let's take a look." Captain Shimadzu said and walked forward.

Several lieutenants and second lieutenants of the 3rd Armored Train Squadron followed suit.

After a while, several devil officers had arrived in the second carriage.

Captain Shimadzu climbed from the ladder to the observation post on the roof, and looked out.

A high-power searchlight is installed on the roof of the two carriages, and it is shining bright lights forward.

Then Captain Shimadzu saw at a glance that there were about a dozen Chinese cavalry units fleeing along the Zhengtai Highway parallel to the Zhengtai Railway.

The distance between the two sides is about 500 meters.

This distance is a bit far, but the heavy machine gun can still be hit.

However, the speed of this group of Chinese cavalry is obviously faster than their trains.

If the cavalry runs at full speed, the speed can reach 60 kilometers per hour.

However, the No. 3 armored train of their squadron maintained a speed of about 30 kilometers per hour because it had to be consistent with the freight train behind it.

A speed difference of nearly 30 kilometers per hour.

So the distance between the two sides is rapidly widening.

In this moment of effort, the distance has been widened to nearly 600 meters.

Captain Shimadzu's 11th Armored Train Regiment belongs directly to the North China Front Army. He doesn't know the situation in Shanxi, let alone the current situation of the Zhengtai Railway.

So seeing this group of Chinese cavalry moving away, I was immediately excited.

Wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't shoot the live targets that came to your door?

At that moment, Captain Shimadzu shouted: "Order the locomotive, turn on the engine fully, and catch up!"

The engine of the armored train is fully turned on, and it can also run to about 70 kilometers per hour.

When Captain Shimadzu gave an order, the No. 3 armored train immediately accelerated and pursued at full speed.

While chasing, Captain Shimadzu also ordered the heavy machine gun on the left side of the second carriage to fire.

It's just that due to the long distance and the influence of the ground trajectory, the hit rate is extremely poor.

After fighting for a long time, five or six hundred bullets were fired, and only two or three Chinese cavalry were knocked down.

During the pursuit, the distance between the No. 3 armored train and the freight train behind it unconsciously increased from less than 200 meters at the beginning to [-] meters.

On the top of Mianshan Mountain, the observation post.

Li Yunlong is watching closely through the artillery mirror.

Seeing that the cavalry battalion in charge of luring the enemy lost several cavalry, Li Yunlong could not help but tremble with distress.

However, Li Yunlong did not blame Wang Yan at all, but poured all his anger on the devil.

"Damn it!" Li Yunlong gritted his teeth, "Isn't it the 11th Armored Train Regiment? I remember you. One day, I will smash your tortoise shells!"

But Sun Desheng couldn't help but began to complain about Wang Yan: "Consultant Wang, can you be a jerk? Don't take all the cavalry from Lao Tzu's platoon!"

Wang Yan didn't say anything.

It was already a few minutes later when Hirakawa was awakened.

The old devil was also exhausted, and there were a lot of devils sleeping in the carriage, snoring loudly, so he blocked the gunshots from the armored train ahead.

It wasn't until there was an explosion that woke up Yongfu Pinglu.

The explosion was the firing of the mountain cannon on the No. 3 armored train.

"What's going on? Where's the cannon?" Isao Hirochi jumped up in surprise, and said sharply, "Is it the No. 3 armored train?"

An observation post was also reserved on the roof of the Tibetan soldier's carriage, and even a Japanese soldier pushed open the top cover and went up to the roof.

After a while, the Japanese soldier came down again and reported: "Sir, it is indeed the Type 3 mountain gun on the No. 41 armored train that is firing! It seems that there is an enemy situation."

"Come down!" Yongfu Pinglu waved.

The Japanese soldier hurried out of the way, and Yufu Hirachi climbed onto the roof of the car with hands and feet.

The observation position on the roof was open, and there was a circle of steel plates welded around it. After Yufu Pinaka came up, he was blown by the night wind, and immediately shivered, and his consciousness immediately became clearer.

Looking ahead, I saw that the distance between the No. 3 armored train and the freight train had been extended to at least 500 meters!

Seeing this scene, Yuuo Hirachi couldn't help being startled. He didn't know what the No. 3 armored train found and why it accelerated, but his instinct told him that there must be something wrong in the middle!

Maybe this is probably the Eighth Route Army's secret trick!

Thinking of this, Yongfu Pinglu couldn't help shivering again.

"Hurry up!" Yufu Hirakachi shrank back into the carriage and shouted loudly, "Flare! Fire the signal! Let the No. 3 armored train slow down and keep in line with the freight train, hurry up!"

An officer immediately climbed up from the observation hole.

A red flare was fired against the dark sky.

The red signal flare lifted off, drawing a striking trajectory in the night sky.

The Japanese troops on the No. 3 armored train immediately spotted the signal flare fired by the freight train.

Captain Shimadzu didn't see it. He was manipulating a Type 92 heavy machine gun and had a great time fighting. The only thing he was upset about was that he didn't hit a Chinese cavalryman.

"Go to hell, let me die"

Captain Shimadzu yelled while holding the weight of the heavy machine gun.

At this moment, a second lieutenant hurriedly climbed up and reported loudly to him: "Squadron leader, the freight train has sent a signal, asking us to slow down and keep the same speed as theirs!"

"Nani?" Captain Shimadzu froze for a moment when he heard the words.

Looking back, I saw that the freight train had been left far behind.

"Baga!" Captain Shimadzu's first reaction was to scold, "Why is the freight train moving so slowly?"

The second lieutenant said: "Squadron leader, this is an uphill road, so the speed of the freight train is slower than before. Should we slow down the speed and so on?"

"Damn, it's really boring." Captain Shimadzu said dejectedly, "Order, turn off half the power of the locomotive and slow down!"

While talking, Shimadzu turned back to look for the Chinese cavalry in front, only to find that the group of Chinese cavalry had already reached at least 1000 meters away, and they were about to escape the range of the searchlights.
