Wang Zhong and the others had just crossed the overpass to the other side of the platform when they saw the track workers emerge from the hut again, beginning to adjust the rails.
He switched to an overhead view and indeed saw a train coming from the northeast.
There were no emergency repair cars on the train's head, and the anti-aircraft cannon mounted on the anti-aircraft car had been replaced with a 25mm gun.
Following the anti-aircraft car, as was customary, was a line of black tank cars, though the first car had the church's sun emblem painted on its top.
The car marked with the sun emblem had noticeably fewer people inside, and Wang Zhong, adjusting his angle, saw through the doors of the tank car, now open, an office desk within.
It seemed that the distinguished guest they were to receive was in this car, while the people in the following tank cars were likely reinforcements being sent to Bogdanovka.
