"Carry two tanks of the 4th!" Colonel Slain ordered.

Soon two "four" tanks drove up "rumbling", and Colonel Slein contacted the tank crew inside through the phone number behind the tank.

"The enemy has armored trains!" said Colonel Slain. "They will appear in your ten o'clock direction soon, destroy them, and attack the turret first, do you understand?"

"Yes, Colonel!" the tank crew replied.

This method seems to be feasible, because armored trains are mostly used to deal with guerrillas... The guerrillas do not have heavy weapons, and armored trains can be quickly deployed and effectively fight guerrillas to protect the railway.

Therefore, the armor of armored trains is generally not very thick... 20MM on the side and 15MM on the top.

If this is the case, the "Four" tank will be enough to deal with it.

But the actual situation surprised Colonel Slain...

When the armored train slowly drove up and appeared in the corresponding position, the two "Four" tanks first launched the gun and fired two shells at the turret on the armored train, but the turret on the armored train did not react at all.

The armored train immediately launched a counterattack. After a fire of cannons, a "4" tank was destroyed. The reason why the other "4" was safe and sound was more because the Soviet tank players were not of high quality and failed to hit the target.

"Hell!" Colonel Slain ordered loudly: "Return, return!"

The surviving tank "4" slowly retreated back, and the captain poked his head out of the tank compartment and reported pale: "Col. We cannot destroy the target!"

"I saw it!" Colonel Slain replied.

At this time, Albridge, the commander of the 5th Armored Regiment, also drove a jeep. The jeep stopped far behind. Colonel Albridge jumped out of the car and trotted up, asking, "What's the situation?"

"I've met a hard guy!" Colonel Slain handed over the telescope.

When Colonel Albridge poked his head out to observe, Colonel Slein briefly introduced: "There is an underground bunker more than a hundred meters away. If the bomber appears, it will hide in. The result of the "Fourth" tank battle..."

As he said that, Colonel Slein raised his head towards the tank that was still emitting black smoke in front of him and said, "It is obvious that the Soviet armored trains are different from ours!"

Colonel Slein is right that the Soviet armored trains were indeed different from those of the German army.

The German armored trains were mainly used to deal with guerrillas, while the Soviet armored trains basically had no need to deal with guerrillas. They were used to deal with the German army.

But this is not the most important thing.

The Soviet armored train was the "Strike the German Invaders". It had four turrets and an air defense platform, with a total of 20 machine guns of various types, and a coal-burning steam locomotive.

It was built urgently in early 1942, which means it has only been a few months since it started to build.

Although it is not difficult to transform armored trains, for example, steam locomotives can use existing locomotives, and armored carriages can use existing train cars. All you have to do is to cover them with armor, but it is still quite difficult... installing a turret.

It is not possible to do this in a few months.

But the Soviets came up with a creative way, which directly drove the T34 tank into the train car and fixed it and converted it into a turret.

Therefore, the turret is actually not a turret. Each turret should be regarded as a reinforced T34 tank. In front of its armor, there is even a 30MM thick reinforced steel and cement reinforcement... The Soviet Union was a wide rail train, and the internal space was much larger than that of the German armored train.

"We can blow up its rails!" said Colonel Albridge.

"Good idea!" Colonel Slain agreed.

Then they quickly developed an offensive plan.

This offensive plan is actually very simple, but of course it requires the cooperation of various troops, but this is almost not difficult for the German army.

First of all, the Air Force bombers forced the Soviet armored train back first... This was not difficult. Six "Stuka" bombers hovered in the sky and dived bombing in turn. The armored train had no choice but to temporarily hide in the bunker.

However, bombers cannot hover at low altitudes for a long time, and the Soviet air defense firepower will not allow them to do so... Generally speaking, the air defense firepower of port cities is not weak, and Karachi is no exception.

Then the German army launched a charge. Under the cover of tanks and infantry, the mortars entered a suitable position to smash the shells into the railway tracks that were estimated to be armored trains... Buildings near the railway station stood tall, and long-range artillery could hardly smash the shells into the narrow railway tracks at low places.

"Beautiful job!" Colonel Slain couldn't help but praise as the smoke exploded on the rails in the telescope.

But before Colonel Slain finished speaking, the armored train drove out of the smoke and then another rain of bullets drove the Germans back.

"What's going on?" Colonel Slain cursed.

"They must have considered this situation too!" Qin Chuan put away his telescope and replied: "I think they have prepared several railway tracks!"

"Fuck it!" Colonel Slain cursed fiercely.

"We can forcefully attack under the cover of bombers!" Adjutant Lucas made a simple and crude suggestion: "I mean, if a bomber appears, it will return to the cover..."

"Do you think this is possible that they didn't expect?" Colonel Albridge interrupted Lucas: "The armored train will suddenly come out of the bunker as we rushed up... Then we will have to be slaughtered!"

Colonel Albridge is right, the advantage of armored trains is that they are fast. German infantry and tanks seem to be no match for them at all. At the same time, there is smoke on the ground, and the smoke intentionally created by the Soviets makes it difficult for German pilots to bomb the armored trains accurately during the melee between the two armies.

"Can we go around?" asked Colonel Slain.

Colonel Albridge opened the map and quickly denied the plan.

"The left wing is the Don River!" said Colonel Albridge. "The right wing is the tributary of the Don River. The only iron bridge nearby has been blown up unless we intend to cross that river..."

Although crossing the river is feasible, the tributaries of the Don River are only more than 100 meters wide and the water flow is not fast.

But this is obviously not done in a short period of time, because there is enemy defense on the other side, and the German army is still an armored division, so it will take a lot of time to transport the tanks one by one.
