In the past, the city wall was the most important support of a city. When faced with foreign enemy attacks, the city wall can block the enemy. How many tragic battles broke out on the city wall. But with the continuous development of weapons, the role of the city wall is also getting weaker and weaker.
Only in China, weapons and equipment are still very backward. Therefore, the city wall can also provide a certain degree of protection. On the European battlefield, all kinds of cannons bombarded the city walls, and the city walls would be wiped out almost instantly. Therefore, on the European battlefields of World War II, basically no battles broke out on the city walls, and many cities have long since The walls are gone.
In China, neither the central army nor the local warlords have many cannons on hand. As for the little devil, there are not many cannons on hand, and most of them are small-caliber. So in this case, the city walls can still play a certain protective role, so the city walls of various cities still stand tall.
However, for convenience, many city walls will also be changed, including the need for trains. After the invention of railway transportation, it quickly developed. In this era, there were no advanced passenger planes or highways, so the best way to travel long distances was by train. Many major cities also have trains.
At this time, we will encounter a problem, how does the train pass through the city wall?
The solution is to open a hole in the city wall and rebuild a city gate. Even after some city walls have opened the hole, the hole will not be blocked at all. Anyway, in this era, the role of the city wall began to become smaller and smaller. The advantage of this is that the train can go directly into the city. If the city wall is not removed, then the railway station has to be built in the suburbs. However, many things transported by the train station are delivered to the city, which is inconvenient and requires additional storage and transportation, and there will be more risks. After all, in this chaotic world, it is not easy for some bandits to enter the city to rob, but if they want to rob outside the city, it is still very easy.
As the big city in Shandong, Jinan City certainly won't let the rails pass outside the city. The railway here is directly connected to the city, and there are special city gates to pass through the railway. At this time, the armored train rumbled through the city wall like this.
So the problem of entering Jinan City was easily solved on the armored train. Looking at passing through the city wall at this time, everyone on the armored train is full of excitement and excitement, and they will soon have a big fight in the city! The name of the railway guerrillas will also be circulated throughout Shandong because of this battle. In the past, the railway guerrillas only operated in the southeastern part of Shandong, but now they are going to expand to the entire Shandong Province!
Compared with the excited members of the railway guerrillas, Qin Baoshan and Wei Dayong were much calmer. What is Jinan City? In their eyes, it is just a slightly better place than the countryside. They have seen a big city like Beiping City, and they have lived in Beiping City for a while. Looking at Jinan City with their eyes now, it is really not that luxurious.
However, the railway station in Jinan City is still very large. As the train continued to move, the people on the car looked in the direction of the train station from a distance. It can be found that there are more and more rail tracks, and the spread out area is getting larger and larger, and at the same time, an overpass can be seen from a distance.
There is more than one large platform. If there are multiple platforms, then it will involve how to get to the platform you need. There are two or three solutions. The easiest way is to lay a few square logs or large stones inside the rails to make this section flat, leaving only the width for the wheels to pass. If people want to go there, they should step on this passage. This is the easiest way, but also the least convenient. Because there is no guarantee that these rails are empty, in case it is a train that stops on the rails. Then if you want to go to another railroad track, you have to drill through it, either from below or climb above. In short, it will be very inconvenient, but for some small platforms, this is understandable, and people in this era don't care about doing such indecent actions at all. (After Hua Xiong was young, every time he got off the train, he had to climb into the cars parked on the side rails to get out.)
However, if it is a big station, it will be different. In order to solve this problem on the big platform, a flyover will be built above the head. At this time, the Jinan Railway Station in the distance is like this. Right on the platform, across the tracks, a flyover was built. Like other bridges of this era, this overpass is purely a stone bridge.
In order to reduce the self-weight of the bridge. There are special bridge holes on both sides of the upper end of the arc-shaped bridge below, just like Zhaozhou Bridge, except that there are five bridge holes on each side. Of course, it is not for passing through the water, but purely for reducing its own weight. At the upper end of the bridge, there are wooden railings. At this time, there were still a few devil soldiers guarding the bridge, holding the 38 cover horizontally in their hands, and the ointment on the bayonet.The flag fluttered continuously.
In addition to these two ways, there is another way, and that is the underground passage. It's just that compared to building a bridge, the underground passage is more expensive. So in this era, there is almost no choice of this way.
At this time, Qin Baoshan also felt strange seeing the overpass from a distance. This kind of railway overpass made of stone is really rare.
The overpass spans the upper end of the rails, and their armored train passes right through the center of the lower part of the overpass. The two sides of the bridge are connected to the two sides of the train station, and there are many warehouses on both sides. Those warehouses are full of military supplies of little devils. After all, Jinan City is the provincial capital of Shandong. Almost all the materials of the little devils in the Shandong area will fall in Jinan City, and they will be deployed from here.
It's a pity that there are of course a large number of trains stopping at such a huge railway station. The warehouses on the left are all blocked by stopped trains. Their armored train can only aim directly at the right side and fire. The warehouses on the left are all dependent on the door at hand. This is the Taisho four-year-style 150mm howitzer. It flies in an arc, which is just right for the current scene.
Watching the train station gradually approaching, Qin Baoshan began to turn the cannon's height adjustment machine. Seeing his movements, Wei Dayong on the side had already opened the ammunition box and began to load the cannon with shells. The two did a great job. Be careful, there are other carriages in the way, so no one will notice their unusual movements for the time being. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
