He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

Although the tank lanes are narrow, only two tank widths wide, under such extremely limited visibility conditions, completely preventing overtaking by vehicles behind is not something that can be achieved solely through superior driving skills, because you simply cannot see the full picture of the actions of vehicles behind you.

Unless there is a drone on the tank roof that can transmit external video footage in real time.

However, the preliminary rounds are basic skills competitions, and drones are not allowed to enter the venue, so it is simply impossible to do so!

“Well, that does sound a bit like bragging,” Zhang Beixing said casually. “If Harvey has the guts to blast us off the road with a cannonball, then we really can’t stop him.”

Unfortunately, it was just a game, and until the mask was completely torn off his ugly face, Xavi was destined to be nothing more than a coward.

Harvey's underhanded tactics and arrogant behavior were merely a protective shield to mask his inner weakness.

"Do you think you have eyes in the sky?"

Zhang Nengliang rolled his eyes, indicating that he was tired and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Zhang Beixing smiled dismissively, thinking to himself, "There really are eyes in the sky."

In the azure sky, countless sparrows fluttered and soared, their bright black eyes reflecting all the scenes on the earth.

--call!

Harvey's tanks sped up from behind, the two tanks about five or six meters apart, as if they were about to collide.

"coming!"

"Roger that!"

As they approached the bend, Zhang Beixing quickly shifted gears and reduced throttle, but the speed was still significantly faster than normal cornering speed.

Harvey's crew members were no pushovers either; their tank skills were truly top-notch. They were right behind 965, ready to overtake him on the curve.

However, Zhang Beixing didn't want to give them that chance, and his actions were swift and decisive.

What happened next left Zhang Nengliang speechless, and he secretly regretted telling Zhang Beixing to be a decent human being too early.

The tracks rubbed violently, and the 965 tank kicked up clouds of dust as it swished through the ground. It even maintained high speed when cornering, and Zhang Beixing drove the tank like a sports car, drifting around the corner!
The tank veered sharply to the side and cornered, almost filling the entire lane. Harvey's tank had no chance to overtake and was instantly squeezed out of the lane.

Harvey's eyes widened in disbelief, and he almost thought he was having a nightmare.

The organizing committee members on the track also exclaimed in surprise via video broadcast.

Oh my God!

"The Chinese crew just completed an extremely difficult tank cornering maneuver, firmly blocking the opponent behind them. Let's cheer for their extraordinary performance!"

The female soldiers in the communications platoon, along with the brigade commander and Yang Junyu, erupted in cheers upon witnessing this scene.

Zhang Nengliang and Niu Nuli were also stunned, unable to believe what they had just experienced.

However, before they could exclaim in surprise, Zhang Beixing spoke first with a faint smile.

"Basic operation, don't be surprised."

The two: "..."

But at this moment, Harvey's tanks unexpectedly unleashed astonishing combat power.

They failed to overtake on the curve, but after exiting the curve, they gave up the chase, roared with their engines, accelerated suddenly, and leaped off the uneven road, instantly rushing out of the lane.

"Bang!!"

The tank risked stalling and trudged through the muddy, waterlogged swamp!
Just as they were about to overtake, Zhang Beixing's 965 tank seemed to have eyes, and a scene that left everyone speechless appeared.

Harvey's tank moved to the left, and 965 intercepted it to the left; it moved to the right, and 965 intercepted it to the right, not giving Harvey any chance to overtake.

The two tanks remained locked in a tight battle, neither giving the other any chance to relax.

However, driving at high speeds with a full tank of gas consumes a huge amount of fuel, and soon both cars were low on fuel and the emergency fuel warning light came on.

Niu frowned and reminded them, "Harvey's tanks have a larger fuel capacity than ours. If we stop, they will definitely overtake us."

"A supply depot has been spotted ahead!" Zhang Nengliang reported, then asked, "Should we stop?"

Zhang Beixing chuckled and calmly said, "Zhang Nengliang, stop the car and rotate the turret!"

“If we don’t leave, Harvey won’t be able to move either.”

Zhang Nengliang paused for a moment, then smiled knowingly.

"okay!"

The main gun of the Type 965 tank slowly rotated and lay across the road, blocking the advance of the tanks behind it.

Enraged by being blocked, Harvey crawled out of the tank and led his men to the supply depot, craning his neck and shouting at Zhang Beixing and his men.

"Cheating! It must be cheating! I'm going to file a complaint against them!"

I want to file a complaint!

With a flushed face and a bulging neck, Harvey roared angrily at the supply station staff: "The Chinese crew cheated!"

Zhang Nengliang, who was standing to the side, scoffed and said sarcastically, "Everything needs to be based on evidence, okay?"

Harvey pointed at the two tanks parked in the tank lane, and roared recklessly as if he were blinded by rage.

"We risked our tanks wading through water to finally get a chance to overtake, but their tanks seemed to have eyes, blocking our tanks completely. It was simply impossible to do that!"

"It's impossible for the tanks in front to be fully aware of the movements of the tanks behind them. I suspect that their tanks must have been equipped with surveillance equipment. This is blatant cheating!"

Zhang Nengliang, with his fiery temper, exploded: "You're allowed to use dirty tricks, but we're not allowed to have good driving skills? If you're so capable, why don't you try drifting around a corner!"

Zhang Beixing gave a nonchalant hum.

"It's okay. Since you think we cheated, then we can just have the organizing committee staff thoroughly inspect our vehicles inside and out. The innocent will clear themselves."

Upon hearing this, Harvey, who was blinded by anger, was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly froze.

Should the organizing committee inspect the vehicles?
What a load of rubbish!
If the organizing committee were to re-inspect the vehicles, wouldn't the information collection devices he installed in tanks from various countries be exposed?
Thinking of this, Harvey's back was uncontrollably soaked with cold sweat, but a gust of wind immediately calmed his mind.

Before the staff could begin mediating the conflict, Harvey immediately changed his tune and began questioning the other party.

"Your main gun is blocking our tanks' path! How do you explain that?"

The staff member looked at Zhang Beixing and calmly asked a question.

"Huaxia train crew, please explain your actions."

"What's there to explain?" Zhang Beixing retorted. "Didn't they just block our path with their main guns too?"

The staff member nodded, agreeing with Zhang Beixing's assessment, and then turned to Harvey. "G Country crew, you also need to explain your previous actions."

Harvey was completely exasperated. Looking at Zhang Beixing and Zhang Nengliang, who were giving him smug smiles, he was so angry that he almost bit his gums until they bled.

They lifted a rock only to drop it on their own foot!
"OK."

Adhering to the principles of fairness and reasonableness, the staff continued to mediate between the two parties.

"Since neither of you has any objections, please continue the match. You can take as many supplies as you like, but I must remind you that the amount of supplies you receive will affect your match results."

Niu Nuli's eyes flashed, and he asked to confirm, "You mean we can take whatever supplies we want here?"

"of course."

The staff member nodded.

Zhang Beixing, who was the first to react, quickly called on Zhang Nengliang to start taking action.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and move it!"

"Oh, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"Go go go! Quickly refuel the tank!"

Harvey and the others, no longer caring about their anger, quickly grabbed the oil drums on the ground and ran towards the tank.

The limited amount of fuel at supply stations means that the more fuel a tank crew has, the greater its chance of successfully reaching the firing point and completing the mission.

One barrel of fuel weighs 30 kilograms, so two barrels would weigh 60 kilograms, which is equivalent to the weight of an average adult!
It would be very difficult for anyone to lift it, and they would inevitably stagger while walking. But it was obvious that the soldiers from Country G were much stronger. They would even stop halfway to show off their muscles in a wicked way, to mock Zhang Nengliang's thin frame.

However, before the G country soldier could even crack a smile, his jaw nearly dropped to the ground as he saw a camouflage whirlwind sweep past him!

The whirlwind came and went fiercely, and as soon as I turned around, I saw the dark figure running back from the direction of the tank. Not long after, it returned, carrying two more cans of fuel.

Zhang Beixing carried a bucket of fuel in each hand, moving with effortless agility.

An unsuspecting person would think he was sprinting 100 meters, his speed was astonishing. The two buckets of fuel seemed weightless in his hands, not slowing down his running pace in the slightest!
Before the G country's tank crew had even delivered fuel back to the tank, they saw that the area around vehicle 965 was already piled high with fuel barrels, and the Huaxia tank crew had already boarded the vehicle and left amidst Zhang Beixing's calls.

Harvey and the others were stunned.

This is totally illogical!

One minute a tank is drifting around a corner, the next overtaking is strictly prohibited, and now there's this scene of someone carrying an oil drum at lightning speed. Are all these things something a human could do?
Harvey stood there, furious, helplessly watching 965 disappear into the distance.

At this moment, he really wanted to run up to Zhang Beixing and loudly question him.

Is cheating fun?

Are you fucking a sore loser?!

"According to the competition rules, the participating crews in the first round must complete the most basic surprise target shooting mission. The target shooting will be conducted in a free shooting mode, and the shooting mission must be completed in the shortest possible time."

"There are a total of six targets, one point for each target, and the top two scorers will qualify for the semi-finals."

The female host, Vera, had a clear and cheerful voice that echoed gracefully in the air above the stadium.

Inside the tents of the various delegations, the commanders were intently watching the satellite video broadcast on the large screen. Tank crews gradually entered the firing range, and in the advantageous positions, their comrades cheered and applauded in anticipation of victory.

The tanks on the track continued to roar, isolating all external noise, and everyone was completely focused on the race.

The female communications platoon, led by platoon leader Gaia, was also on edge. While Huang Xiaomeng provided satellite maps to 965 in real time, she secretly prayed for their victory.

Tank 965 surged ahead, and after replenishing its fuel, it maintained full speed and was the first to reach the firing range.

"Northeast 32, range 2500, one armor-piercing round," Niu Nuli commanded in a deep voice.

Upon receiving the commander's order, Zhang Beixing immediately made the corresponding firing preparation actions, began to decelerate and shift gears, and prepared to fire the main gun later.

However, Zhang Nengliang paused slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Niu Nuli glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and said, "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Zhang Nengliang pondered for a moment and said, "I inquired beforehand and found that there are no strict regulations on the shells used in the first round of free target practice. Other countries' tanks use grenade firing targets."

What are you trying to say?

"It's nothing, I just wanted to say that although grenade launchers are less accurate in target practice, they have a higher chance of hitting the target. Shouldn't we also..."

“No need.” Niu Nuli interrupted Zhang Nengliang’s suggestion without even thinking. “Have confidence in yourself. With an armor-piercing round, what I need is accuracy.”

Taking shortcuts and resorting to tricks is not the path a Chinese soldier should take!

Zhang Beixing also spoke softly, expressing his approval of Niu Nuli's pride and perseverance.

"If a large-scale tank battle occurs on the future battlefield, three high-explosive shells may not be enough to destroy a tank, but one armor-piercing shell is enough. Even if they are fired simultaneously, the side using the armor-piercing shell can still take down the enemy with one shot."

"Yes, I understand. Prepare one armor-piercing round!"

Zhang Nengliang immediately abandoned his proposal, determined to defend his honor as an outstanding tank soldier.

The main gun's fire control system started operating, and the aiming scale slowly moved down, aligning with a circular target that appeared on a distant hilltop.

"Annihilate them!"

The moment Zhang Nengliang pressed the shell firing button, a huge roar exploded in his ears.

The temperature inside the main gun suddenly rose, and the pressure increased to 630 MPa. The armor-piercing projectile, propelled by the 3400-degree Celsius temperature, passed through the rifling grooves and burst into a huge cloud of flames and light. Boom! The shell was fired!
The tank shook violently, kicking up clouds of dust on the ground; the scene was truly shocking.

A loud bang came from the distant mountaintop, and the ground trembled slightly. Unsurprisingly, the blue target was hit by an armor-piercing shell, and the flames that suddenly burst into flames quickly engulfed the entire target.

Lan Zhiguang, Yang Junyu, and others, who were intently watching the satellite video broadcast on the large screen, clenched their fists and let out a cheer.

"Good job!"

"Zhang Nengliang is quite capable; I knew I hadn't misjudged him!" Yang Junyu's face was full of pride.

Although he didn't hear Yang Junyu's high praise, it didn't stop Zhang Nengliang from beaming with a smug smile.

"Pride comes before a fall. What are you doing?" Niu Nuli said calmly. "Hurry up and get ready. There are still five targets left."

Zhang Beixing interjected, "Don't be careless, Harvey's tanks are catching up."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud bang was heard from behind the vehicle, and a grenade swept past the top of the 965 tank.

Another target on a nearby hilltop was hit, and flames billowed and rolled in the wind.

"Long-range shooting? Harvey's got some skills, huh?" Niu Nuli said, somewhat surprised. (End of Chapter)
