Special Armored Train

In 1933, the Japanese built a proper armored train. It consisted of 12 cars and loaded one Type 14 10cm AA Gun, one Type 4 15cm Howitzer and two Type 11 75mm AA Guns. As it still remained experimental, it was called "Rinji Soko Ressha"(Special Armored Train).

This armored train was deployed at 2nd Armored Train Unit in Manchuria and participated in the Changkufeng conflict with the Soviets.
