In this era, the train has always been an efficient land transportation tool. Relying on the railway, the train can quickly transport a large number of equipment back and forth, belonging to the main artery.

At the same time, in order to protect the railway, armored trains came into being.

As the name suggests, armored trains are armored trains, which are specially designed for combat.

Generally speaking, armored trains are used for fire support and independent operations for troops along the railway. They are composed of combat trains and base trains.

An ordinary armored train needs an armored steam locomotive, more than two armored cars or two to four railway flat cars for cover. The armored steam locomotive is located between the armored cars, the coal water vehicle faces the enemy, and the locomotive is equipped with communication equipment and shooting command equipment.

The Soviet Union is the best at using armored trains. Armored trains shuttling on all fronts have always been the responsibility of battlefield firefighters.

There are not many armored trains in Poland. The current No. 53 armored train is the elite of Polish armored trains.

No. 53, also known as Yong Yi, is composed of five carriages, including two 100mm field guns, two 75mm field guns, 22 machine guns and 170 Polish officers and soldiers.

Now, after getting the news that the front in the middle of mocra was loose and was about to be conquered by the Germans, the train roared over. Unfortunately, it was still too slow. When it arrived, all the cavalry regiments guarding here had disappeared into the woods!

When they heard the sound of the armored train, the German armored grenadiers were shocked.

The experienced company commander immediately shouted, "come on, get down, get down!"

The woods here surround the railway. You can easily see the railway covered by the woods not far away!

At this time, the rails are ringing, and a column of steel monsters are rumbling up!

Armored train!

Everyone, at the moment of seeing the monster, keenly fell down, and almost at the same time, outside, a terrible sound of machine gun roared through the woods.

"Da Da!"

Gunfire echoed through the woods! At this moment, there were flying broken branches and roaring bullets everywhere.

An armored train is a moving fortress! The armored train doesn't have to worry about the load, so there are a lot of bullets, food and fresh water on it, which is enough for members to persist in it for a long time. Now, in the face of German soldiers who have entered the woods, Polish armored train soldiers are not polite!

The 7.92mm machine gun bullet rushed into the woods in a violent manner. There were terrible metal storms everywhere!

Facing this crazy shooting, the only thing the German soldiers can do is lie down and wait.

counterattack?

The 6.8mm submachine gun in hand is very good at beating Polish cavalry. However, it is sheer overkill to beat Polish armored trains!

This kind of bullet can't penetrate the armor of armored train at all! It's in vain!

However, the Polish Armored Train looked very brave. In fact, it did not bring much casualties. The woods were a good shelter. Those hit by bullets were unfortunately hit by stray bullets.

A few sporadic casualties are inevitable on the battlefield.

The violent shooting here has long attracted the attention of the outside world.

Tanks and infantry attack together, which is a standard tactic. Infantry protect tanks and tanks provide fire support to infantry.

Now that the Polish armored train has started, it's time for our tanks to go!

forward!

Weitman commanded his company, went south for a distance on the side of the woods, and came near the railway line. His eyes suddenly opened up.

The tank body was upright, facing the target with the thickest front armor, and almost at the same time, the behemoth was seen in weitman's sight!

The armored train is wheezing!

As it started, it fired at the German army in the woods, which made the German army unable to lift its head. At the same time, it also had more important, that is, to defeat the German armored forces!

If you can't defeat the German armored forces, you can't hold it here!

For this armored train, its most effective and powerful weapon is the 100mm field gun!

Almost at the same time that weitman found each other, the other party just saw him!

On the armored train, the field artillery is also rapidly adjusting its angle.

For the armored train, its firepower is most likely to pour into both sides of the train. A large number of machine guns are arranged on both sides. The 75mm field artillery can't fight because of the firing angle.

Therefore, the only thing that can be used now is the turret on the car in front of the car and the 100mm field gun, which can be aimed directly ahead!

The woods are about to pass, and on the edge of the woods, sharp eyed Gunners can see German tanks!

The other side is also aiming at its own side. Now, it is comparing whose launch speed is fast!

"Come on, load!" On the armored train, gunner Neymar shouted.

The train was shaking, and the gunner stuffed a 100mm armor piercing bullet into it.

German armor is quite thick. Are you afraid of 100 mm shells?

"Fire!" With the commander's cry, the train gun gave a violent roar. At the muzzle, a huge flame came out. The pointed armor piercing bullet flew out from the inside. The distance between the two sides was only 500 meters!

Almost at the same time, a flame came out of the muzzle of the Panther 3 tank opposite.

Shoot!

What makes weitman most excited is shooting at each other's train guns!

In terms of caliber, Panther 3 has only 75mm, while the other party has 100mm. However, if you compare the power of artillery, you must not only compare the caliber!

The other side's 100mm field gun is a rather backward low diameter cannon, while the 75mm gun on our side is the most advanced tank gun newly developed by German Krupp company!

For example, from the initial velocity of the shell, the initial velocity of the 75mm tank gun is nearly 800 meters per second, far exceeding the backward field gun in the opposite direction!

Therefore, both sides fired almost at the same time, but the 75mm armor piercing bullet hit the other party first!

Armored train, such a big target, and 75 mm tank gun, the trajectory is terrible. As long as it is roughly aimed, it can fire! What's more, it's the most elite fleet like weitman!

With a sharp roar, 75mm shells, and the armor in front of the armored train, close contact!
