Seeing the achievements of the armored vehicles, Zhou Daogang began to think about new ways of fighting.Cars plus armor and machine guns are so powerful, so what about trains?With this idea in mind, Zhou Daogang immediately ordered to collect the trains in the city, but he found four locomotives and more than 80 carriages.These are all locomotives along the Northern Lya Railway, which happened to be maintained in the maintenance plant in Yekaterinburg, and they were all pulled out this time.

Zhou Daogang immediately ordered these trains to be refitted. The repair shop is full of local ethnic minorities. Since they were bombarded, they have already fought against the West Army.Hearing that the train was going to be refitted, they actually worked overtime.

Soon the four trains were refitted. According to Zhou Daogang's request, steel plates were installed on the front and carriages of these trains. The carriages were covered with bullet holes, and sandbags were piled up on the stuffy tank cars with gates, which were used as artillery positions. .In order to prevent the opponent from laying mines on the railway line, a flat car was installed in front of the locomotive, and such a temporary armored train was quickly equipped.

The officers and soldiers of the four companies boarded four armored trains respectively, and they took advantage of the night to pass by the Northern Leia Railway on the left wing and headed for the distance.Although the sound of the train was heard, the Raksha Army did not investigate.Firstly, it was too dark, and they were afraid that this was a conspiracy by the West Army to lure the enemy. Secondly, they never expected that the other party would modify the trains, so these armored trains passed quickly.

At dawn, the reserve team and the logistics supply base of the Raksha army resting behind were attacked by iron-clad trains. There were rumbling explosions and intensive gunfire one after another, and the soaring fire from the logistics base almost illuminated half of the sky.Yudenich was almost burned to death by the fire. If the guards hadn't tried their best to rescue him, he would have become the highest-ranked commander of the Rakshasa Army who died in this battle.

When the fire was finally extinguished, Yudenich received annoying news.The warehouse where all the large-caliber shells were stored was blown up, and half a month's rations of the Raksha army were burned.That is to say, although the large-caliber artillery is intact, it can no longer be used.

The battle in the Ural region is going on fiercely. Although most of the Central Route Army is using trains to increase troops to the Ural region, due to the long distance, there are still many Rakshasa troops along the way that have not been eliminated, and it is difficult for them to reach the Ural region in a short time.During this period of time before reinforcements arrive, everything can only rely on the defenders themselves.

Song Zheyuan hadn't closed his eyes for three days and three nights. At this time, he opened his blood-red eyes and checked the situation at the front with a telescope.The phone rang, and Song Zheyuan picked it up and said, "Hi, I'm Song Zheyuan."

A regimental commander's cry came from the phone: "Master, the brothers have fought so badly. There are not enough 300 people on the battlefield now. I beg you to give me some reserves, even a company."

"There is no reserve team, no one." Song Zheyuan was almost roaring: "I tell you, even if I don't give you people, I will keep them. This battle can only succeed and not fail. I don't listen to your casualties. Just the position. If you lose the position, you will take it back for me. People are in the position. If you lose the position, you don’t have to come back.”

Song Zheyuan panted, his eyes seemed to burst into flames, as if he felt that the order was not firm enough, he added another sentence: "Tell all the officers that you must stick to the front line, even if all the [-]th divisions are wiped out, you can't fight." Hold the ground for me."

Throwing down the microphone, Song Zheyuan picked up the submachine gun on the table and said, "Assemble the guard company and follow me to the position of the [-]th Regiment."

The Rakshasa army showed signs of instability, and Kornilov was also surprised when the Hualan army's combat effectiveness became so strong.Rakshasa Army has never seen such an army that is not afraid of death in previous battles.All of them fought bravely, even if they were surrounded, they would rather die with the Raksha army with hand grenades than be captured.With such a crazy fighting spirit, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Army were about to collapse.

Fortunately, the Rakshasa army had enough people. After the casualties exceeded [-], the opponent's resistance finally gradually weakened.Kornilov continued to strengthen his offensive, he knew that as long as he used a little more force, he would be able to defeat the opponent.As long as Tagil can be captured, he will be able to attack Yekaterinburg from behind, and the Rakshasa Army will be able to win the final victory.

Chapter 628 The Invincible Iron Army

However, it was this last step that Kornilov could not take no matter what.When the Rakshasa Army launched another attack, the sound of rumbling motors suddenly came from behind the West Army's line.Soon, a large group of black steel monsters crossed the trench and headed towards the assault team of the Raksha Army.

The first few monsters flashed on top of their cannons, and immediately after that, a cloud of fire rose in the ranks of the Raksha Army.The huge explosion wave lifted several soldiers into the air, and then fell heavily to the ground.When they saw that these steel monsters could fire cannons, the soldiers of the Rakshasa Army suddenly panicked.

It was hundreds of tanks from Liu Yuanxun's first tank regiment rushing over. These seven-ton tanks had 37mm short-barreled guns and coaxial machine guns. The [-]mm armor on the front was enough to withstand any light fire. They are invincible in such a position.

With forty horsepower engines, these tanks have a speed of [-] kilometers per hour, which is enough to catch up with the desperately retreating Luocha army soldiers.Under the strafing of coaxial machine guns, a large number of Luocha army soldiers were killed, and the existence of short-barreled guns turned all machine gun fire points into ruins.

The investment at the critical moment, the tank played a huge role.With the deepening of the tanks, the Raksha army's battle line was gradually broken through. The Raksha army who had not prepared for defense could not stop the advance of the tanks. They could only flee in a hurry, leaving all the heavy weapons to the West army.

The tanks were crushing and chasing after the Rakshasa Army, and the armored infantry regiment followed closely behind, expanding the results of the battle while also covering the flanks of the tank regiment.With the close cooperation of the two sides, the No.20 Fifth Army of the Rakshasa Army collapsed, and more than 6 people chose to raise their hands to surrender, and became prisoners of thousands of West Army.

Wu Ziyu stepped on the rubble and broken corpses of the battlefield, and came to Song Zheyuan who was covered in smoke and dust.Seeing the Minister of the Army approaching, he struggled to stand up, giving Wu Ziyu a standard military salute.

Wu Ziyu stopped in his tracks and returned a standard force, then he said softly, "You guys have worked hard."

Song Zheyuan straightened his hat, adjusted the broken military uniform, and gave a standard military salute to Wu Ziyu.Then Song Zheyuan showed a reluctant smile: "Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise we would be in danger."

"You have fought well. Now the defense here is accepted by us. The No.19 Infantry Division can be withdrawn to rest. My order to you is to gather together to check the casualties, and then return to the city to take a good rest." Wu Ziyu released issued a formal order.

"Yes, all gather." Song Zheyuan issued an order, and the trumpeter immediately blew the emergency assembly horn, and then all the buglemen of the [-]th Division began to blow their horns.The officers and soldiers of the [-]th Division who heard the sound of the trumpet and were on the battlefield quickly gathered in the direction of Song Zheyuan, and soon a few soldiers arrived.Once they arrived, they immediately stood up according to the troop formation, waiting for the inspection by their superiors.

The soldiers of the No.19 Division were covered in smoke and dust, and none of their clothes were still intact.Their emaciated faces were all blackened by the flames of war, and many of them had bandages on their heads, but they all held their chests up and looked up full of energy.Ten minutes later, the No.10 Infantry Division finally assembled, and Song Zheyuan ordered officers at all levels to rectify the team to investigate the number of people.

Soon the number of people was investigated, and Song Zheyuan quickly ran to Wu Ziyu and saluted: "Report to the minister, all members of the No. 19 Infantry Division are reporting. There are 740 people in the division, excluding those who died in battle and those who were in the hospital. There are 530 wounded, please review."

Wu Ziyu looked at the soldiers in front of him with shocked eyes. They couldn't hide the tiredness on their faces. Some of them stood there reluctantly relying on their rifles.The soldiers were more or less wrapped in gauze, but each of their faces was full of determination, as if they could go into battle at any time as long as the commander gave an order.

"Master No.19 is doing well, each of you is doing well." Wu Ziyu felt that his voice was a little choked, and he tried to take two deep breaths to keep the tears from falling. "I am proud to have loyal and brave subordinates like you, and I will report to the general for your credit. You are the glory of all the People's Army of the Western Special Zone. You resolutely and resolutely defended the line of defense and successfully completed your mission. Now your The task is to rest, all have to turn left, and the goal is to walk in the city center."

Song Zheyuan turned around first, and took more than 500 officers and soldiers of the No.19 Division, striding towards the city.Song Zheyuan shouted loudly at the head of the team: "We are the victorious army, we must look victorious. Everyone pay attention and sing the military song. Our team is like the sun, ready to sing."

"Our team is like the sun, with our feet on the land of the motherland. We are the soldiers of the people..." The soldiers sang the military song of the People's Army of the Special Administrative Region loudly, and walked towards the city with big strides. They all raised their hands to salute, paying the highest respect to this unyielding heroic unit.

"Now is a great opportunity for us to send troops. The troops of the Hualan people are all concentrated in the west, and their garrison in the Huns is not too many." In a cold conference room, Si Nei Zhengyi and many Japanese army generals said. .Although Terauchi Masaki, who was born in the army, has ascended the throne of prime minister, his thinking is still the same as that of the army.Everything hopes to use absolute force to overwhelm the opponent, rather than seeking a political solution.

"Hayi, according to the information sent by our insider intelligence agents, most of the troops in the Hualan Western Special Zone are now fighting on the outside line, and there is only one garrison division for the Outer Huns. If we can pass through Fengtian as quickly as possible, we have a chance A great victory can even collapse the Hualan army fighting in the Raksha country." As the Minister of Army, Yukihiko Kusase was the first to express his suggestion.

"Is our inside line reliable? If this is a trap by the Hualan people, we may lose even worse." Chief of Staff Yusaku Uehara frowned. ridiculed by colleagues.

For the eyes of others, Yusaku Uehara has no scruples.Because he knew that the army in the Western Special Zone was no longer the Hualan army in the traditional sense, and their elite level was comparable to that of the strongest army in the Western Continent.Today's Japanese military circles still look at people with old eyes, and will eventually pay a heavy price.

During this period, Yusaku Uehara often made anti-war remarks, claiming that the only way out for the future is to cooperate with Hualan.His remarks made most army officers very disgusted. Hearing Yu Uehara's question, Deputy Chief of Staff Tanaka Yoshiichi couldn't help retorting: "Uehara-kun's Hualan phobia has attacked again? Don't worry, you will not be sent to command this time." It's time to fight." Tanaka Yoshiichi's words made everyone laugh.

Chapter 629 Despicable Japanese Country

Seeing Tanaka Yoshiichi mocking Yusaku Uehara, Terauchi Masaki coughed lightly and said: "As for the strength of Hualan's army, you can only know if you have seen it. But there is absolutely no problem with the inside line. He is by Zhao Shouhong's side and can be contacted at any time." The military’s confidential information. I can assure you here that we are well aware of the deployment of troops in the Hualan West Special Zone.”

"So the only thing left is to send troops? I suggest not to send those second-rate divisions this time. It's a shame for the imperial army of the Great Japanese Kingdom. We will cooperate with the Raksha Kingdom in this operation, and we must attack Hualan in one fell swoop. We must never give them another chance to stand up." Tanaka Yoshiichi said loudly.

"That's right. It seems that the army is the main part of our battle. The army must gather Korea first and prepare to cross Fengtian to attack the Xiongnu. We need to negotiate with Zhang Zuolin first and use a road to pass." Si Nei Zhengyi considered the issue of sending troops.

"Zhang Zuolin? That guy is by no means an ordinary character. I think it is very dangerous to put the Imperial Army's logistics supply line on his territory." Tanaka Yoshiichi said: "Why don't you write to the Raksha State government and ask to send Reinforcements help allies fight."

"Do you think Emperor Nicholas Rakshasa will let us set foot on the land of the Far East? I think that if we want to fight against Hualan, the only feasible battle formation is through Fengtian. We can increase our troops to fully control the Nanjin Railway, In this way, the Raksha people will feel more at ease." Yukihiko Kusase's plan is the most feasible, and he quickly won the support of many high-level army officers.

This time, the people of the Japanese country have invested a lot of money. Since the tenth, No.12, and No.18 divisions were annihilated, they have not been rebuilt. At this time, there are only [-] divisions that the Japanese country can mobilize. That's all, among them, the second and sixth divisions have the best combat power, and they are the strongest troops in Japan except for the guard divisions.

In order to wipe out the troops in the Western Special Zone in one fell swoop, Japan secretly transported the Second Sendai Division, the Fifth Hiroshima Division, the Sixth Kumamoto Division, the Eighth Hirosaki Division, and the No.14 Kokura Division to Korea.In addition, the [-]th Osaka Division of Japan's well-known fish belly troops was also transported to Korea, but their task was only to cover the rear supply line.According to the army, such an army can only be used for this purpose.

Masaki Terauchi believed that this battle was very important, and a general familiar with the local conditions must be the commander in chief. Therefore, General Akiyama Yoko, who served as the commander of the Koryo garrison, became the best candidate.

The news of the Japanese army gathering in Koryo soon spread to the Western Special Administrative Region Staff Headquarters, and Jiang Fangzhen, who was holding this information, frowned tightly.He knows very well that the Wa country will never die, and this time is definitely a very good opportunity.If during the fierce battle between the Western Special Zone and the Raksha Army, the Wa Kingdom stabbed him in the back, the loss of the West Special Army would definitely not be small.

"Order the transfer of No.13 Division Li Jishen and No.16 Division Xiong Chengji to the eastern part of the Xiongnu to deploy defenses to assist Wu Luzhen's inner Huns garrison division in defense. At the same time, order the Huns to issue emergency mobilization orders. At least three cavalry divisions." Jiang Fangzhen issued an order.

Pang Bingxun on the side said: "Is this appropriate? In case our troop mobilization is caught by other countries, we will be very passive in public opinion."

"Passive? We are at war with the Raksha Kingdom, so it's okay to mobilize our troops to the border areas. Besides, we don't border on the territory of the Wa Kingdom, so it can't be regarded as intimidating them." Jiang Fangzhen waved his hand.

"Okay, I'll send the telegram myself." Pang Bingxun took the telegram surprisingly and strode out.Because corresponding arrangements had already been made, Jiang Fangzhen did not notify Zhao Shouhong of this matter, nor did he take it seriously.At this time, the Japanese army, who was ready to fight, had already started to contact Zhang Zuolin. Their conditions were very simple, and they asked to pass by.

After receiving the telegram from the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin was so angry that he was assassinated a few days ago, and after his investigation, it was the Japanese who did it.However, Zhang Zuolin is not a direct descendant of Yuan Kui, and the reason why he has his current status is all due to the power of the Japanese kingdom.For this reason, after the matter was investigated clearly, he pretended not to know, and still cooperated closely with the Wa people.But this time the problem is a bit big, the Wa people actually asked for an excuse.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Zuolin was unwilling, and cooperating with the Wa people was just a stopgap measure.But now that his power is not yet established, he still needs the assistance of the Japanese people, but once he borrows the way, he will be scolded as a traitor.Such a situation is really difficult to choose, Zhang Zuolin is in a dilemma.

"Master, I think we have to lend the way to the Wa people." Zhang Zuoxiang said aside.Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Zuolin have no blood relationship, not even fellow villagers, their names are just a coincidence.However, Zhang Zuoxiang has been loyal to Zhang Zuolin since he took revenge for others more than ten years ago, and the relationship between the two is even better than that of brothers.There was even a time when Zhang Zuoxiang braved guns to block the rain and carried the wounded Zhang Zuolin out of the dead. It was precisely because of the affection between the two that they later became brothers of the opposite sex.

Since the founding of the Republic of China, Zhang Zuolin's department was reorganized into the 27th Division of the Fengtian Army, and Zhang Zuoxiang served as the artillery commander of this division.The two brothers have always joined hands. They took advantage of Yuan Kai and deceived the Wa people.Relying on Zhang Zuolin's superb skills, Feng Jun was able to develop rapidly, but he could delay the traitorous matter, otherwise the Wa people would not have assassinated him some time ago.

Now the Japanese people's request to borrow the road is tantamount to an ultimatum.If he expresses his position, there are only two ways, either he will be destroyed by the Japanese people, or he will be willing to be a running dog and traitor, but these two ways are not what he is willing to do.

Looking at his good brother Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Zuolin sighed and said, "You should know what the consequences will be if we lend our way to the Wa people."

Zhang Zuoxiang nodded: "Of course I know this, but if we don't make excuses, the Japanese people will definitely see us as a thorn in their side. Even if we don't eliminate us this time, we will not be able to get the support of the Japanese people in the future. Fengjun is still weak. Once we lose With the support of the Japanese people, it is difficult for us to make a difference.”

"But once our brothers are branded as Chinese traitors, it is impossible for us to do anything." Zhang Zuolin said.

"In this case, we can only borrow the way secretly." Zhang Zuoxiang said.
