He was so persuasive that he actually practiced extraordinary

But he never imagined that the one who blew up their camp wasn't a single person, but a military dog ​​soldier from the Red Cell...

Of course, it's best if they never find out this.

Otherwise, this tank company was supposed to be an elite combat unit, but it got wiped out by a dog. They'll probably never be able to hold their heads up again!
After a night of all-out rescue efforts, the company's main battle tanks were not all destroyed. Niu Nuli and his team managed to salvage five or six tanks, and the extent of the damage was roughly in line with Zhang Beixing's estimate.

Fortunately, Niu Nuli didn't know that the camp had been bombed by Caesar; otherwise, he probably would have sighed to the heavens as well.
—Why the hell are they red blood cells again!

Meanwhile, the Ninth Brigade Command held operational meetings day and night.

Brigade Commander Lan Zhiguang, Deputy Brigade Commander Meng Xiaohai, Political Commissar Chen Yuanli, and others were all present.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Lan Zhiguang remained silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly.

"Comrades, our vanguard has suffered multiple surprise attacks from the Red Army, and the situation is far from optimistic. What are your thoughts on this?"

Just as Red Army brigade commander Wen Quan had predicted, after the Ninth Brigade actively responded to the modernization and advancement reforms of the army, Meng Xiaohai was eager to prove the Ninth Brigade's combat effectiveness as a veteran land warfare king, and immediately stepped forward.

"Yang Junyu was killed the moment the battle began. Tomorrow's battle will undoubtedly be fierce. I propose that I lead an armored unit to attack the exposed Red Army headquarters. In armored warfare, they are no match for us!"

“But what if this is a trap set by the enemy?” Lan Zhiguang asked cautiously. “Once the armored forces fall into the trap, we are doomed to lose.”

Meng Xiaohai argued forcefully: "But we have already lost our most important fighting force, the tank company! If we continue to fight steadily, can we guarantee a victory?"

Lan Zhiguang fell silent, and after a moment of contemplation, nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I approve. Tomorrow, I want to see your results!"

"Yes!" Meng Xiaohai roared, full of confidence.

But what he didn't realize was that at that very moment, he had fallen into a trap prepared for him by the Red Army...

The next day at 8:00 AM.

The moment the mechanized units of the red and blue sides clashed, a fierce and intense battle ensued!

The wind howled, raising clouds of dust and sand. Armored vehicles roared incessantly, charging towards the Red Army camp like steel beasts covered in thorns, launching a fierce attack.

The war is about to start.

The entire tank company was wiped out by artillery fire last night.

Left with no other choice, Niu Nuli, Zhang Nengliang, and Yu Dalei were forced to temporarily form a tank combat team, with Niu Nuli serving as the tank commander, gunner, and driver, respectively.

Zhang Nengliang was especially excited, having finally managed to seize a tank on the battlefield!

Although Niu Nuli disliked him a bit, he had to make do with him because of the special circumstances.

Fortunately, although it was the first time the trio had participated in actual combat, the two new recruits performed exceptionally well, exceeding Niu Nuli's expectations.

Under Niu Nuli's precise command, the three successfully destroyed four Red Army tanks while suffering almost no losses themselves, a remarkable achievement!

The Blue Army's elite armored forces pressed on, destroying several of the Red Army's main battle tanks. Meng Xiaohai, in high spirits and beaming with joy, commanded the entire army to continue the charge.

However, unknowingly, the Blue Army, lured by the Red Army's bait, exceeded the predetermined 5-kilometer reconnaissance range and expanded it to about 10 kilometers.

Then suddenly, something unexpected happened!

As soon as the vanguard of the Blue Army's armored forces entered the ambush zone, they were immediately met with a fierce attack from the Red Army's air and ground forces.

Army aviation, mechanized infantry, missiles, tanks, attack helicopters... countless firepower surged down like a giant wave, roaring and crashing down!
"Swish swish swish...!"

The rocket shot through the air, streaking across the sky like a meteor, leaving behind a trail of fire and smoke.

The shipborne machine guns kept firing at the ground troops, the bullets exploding like golden popcorn, raining down on the heads of the Ninth Brigade's armored troops!

The Red Army tank company, which had feigned weakness, immediately launched a fierce counterattack.

The battle situation reversed instantly. A large number of Blue Army tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed, and the number of casualties increased exponentially. The Ninth Brigade suffered repeated defeats.

At the same time, a powerful electromagnetic interference attack, seemingly from nowhere, quickly landed on the battlefield!

The electromagnetic attack not only severed communication between the 9th Brigade's vanguard and headquarters, but also immediately cut off communication between the command vehicle and surrounding tanks. This was unprecedented in previous cyber warfare!
With communication broken between vehicle crews, the Ninth Brigade's armored forces were thrown into complete chaos.

Although the Red Army was unaware of the reason or who was helping them, they quickly seized the opportunity and immediately began to close in.

Realizing they had fallen into a trap, the 9th Brigade's tank and armored forces quickly found themselves in a fierce battle and retreated from the battlefield in a chaotic and disorganized manner.

Looking down from the sky, one sees a sky ablaze with artillery fire, and countless main battle tanks zigzagging across the ground, leaving behind deep tire tracks.

Countless fragments of stone and dirt were crushed and ejected, striking the outer armor of the tank with a clanging sound.

……

On a distant high ground, after successfully launching an electromagnetic jamming attack using the Blue Army's own radio signals, Zhang Beixing closed his tactical notebook with satisfaction.

Then he took out his binoculars and looked at the battlefield, occasionally clicking his tongue in amazement.

"Tanks truly deserve to be called the kings of land warfare! They can attack both air and ground targets. Wow, their firepower is incredible!"

This is modern armored warfare, a real clash between forces, quite different from what you see on TV.

The battle was intense and tense, with artillery fire roaring and blasting. The entire battle zone was as if it were shrouded in a dense net of fire, with no room for maneuver. Only continuous fighting could keep the battle going.

The raw power of steel was unleashed to its fullest extent on this battlefield belonging to the king of land warfare!
Zhang Beixing was also shocked, as this was a completely different experience from individual special operations.

After turning his gaze away, Zhang Beixing slowly stroked his chin, feeling somewhat moved.

As the saying goes, "a trade is like a mountain to climb," meaning that everything in a new and unfamiliar field is novel and fascinating until you actually enter it.

Zhang Beixing had always dreamed of having the opportunity to drive tanks, armored vehicles, or armed helicopters, but unfortunately, he never had the chance.

But looking at the armored battle with coordinated ground and air forces right before my eyes, I couldn't resist the urge to join in.

Without further ado, Zhang Beixing has always been a man of action; he does whatever comes to mind.

He directly retrieved a book titled "Tank Structure and Driving" from his dimensional space and began to study it carefully.

The red blood cell team members, used to this, continued to watch the battlefield.

If sports cars are every man's dream
Then the tank, the king of land warfare, is even more of a soldier's dream!

Without hesitation, Zhang Beixing immediately spent 10 merit points to activate the system's reading buff.

After reading the book in one go with great enjoyment, he suddenly froze, his brows furrowing into a knot as if he had thought of something.

There are two reasons for my melancholy, one is...

Just then, the system's sweet notification sound rang out in my mind at the perfect moment.

"I have mastered the tank driving skills manual, but I don't have enough merit points to withdraw them."

"Heh." Zhang Beixing responded with a cold laugh.

Why the hell are you asking for cash?

Of course I know I don't have enough merit points!
I just remembered, did you have to remind me? *smug face*
Secondly...

Watching the intense battle unfold, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but get excited, but he overlooked something even more important.

Normally, he would never make such a basic mistake!

Just now, seeing the shocking scene of continuous artillery fire on the battlefield, Zhang Beixing was too excited. For a moment, his adrenaline surged and he was so overwhelmed that he forgot a very basic question.

That is... to give an example, the standard configuration of a modern Type 59 main battle tank is four people: driver, gunner, commander, and loader, none of whom can be missing.

For a unit like the Ninth Brigade Armored Force, whose main combat force consists of Type 96 and Type 99 tanks, three people are needed.

It's not that one person can't drive a tank, but if one person were to drive a tank in combat, it would inevitably be chaotic and extremely difficult.

Even if you could cash out this skill, it would still be somewhat useless.

Thinking of this, Zhang Beixing couldn't help but feel a toothache.

What a waste of 10 merit points...

Of course, it can't be said that it's a complete waste. After all, it's always good to have more skills, and learning new ones is always a gain.

Anyway, I've already finished reading the book, and I can withdraw the money anytime I need it. Who knows, I might actually have the chance to drive a tank in battle someday!

After some self-consolation, Zhang Beixing let out a long sigh of relief. Wow, thinking about it this way really does make me feel much better.

"Brother Yu, the Blue Army has begun their retreat!"

He Chenguang, who was standing nearby, spoke up to remind him.

Zhang Beixing came to his senses and nodded slightly to the group.

"Very good, it's time for us to set off."

Song Kaifei hesitated for a moment and said, "Are we really going to ambush the Blue Army's armored forces on their retreat route?"

"You have a problem?" Zhang Beixing raised an eyebrow.

Song Kaifei couldn't help but look indignant.

No, what did I do to deserve this? Why do you always like to criticize me?

I was just stating what everyone was thinking!
Song Kaifei thought this indignantly and couldn't help but speak up.

"Of course there's a problem. We're traveling light, we didn't even bring 40mm ammunition. How are we going to take down their tanks? With the sniper rifles we have?"

"is it not OK?"

Zhang Beixing blinked, and before he could answer, he continued with an air of matter-of-fact, "It's about using a sniper rifle!"

Upon hearing this, Song Kaifei was completely dumbfounded.

What the hell?
Are we really going to use a sniper rifle to shoot down a tank?

Did I hear it wrong?

Are you dreaming or am I dreaming?
Zhang Beixing smiled slightly, giving him a mysterious "just wait and see" look, and left without saying anything more.

—Watch closely as I shoot down their tank with one shot!

After saying that, he hurriedly got up and left the armored battlefield where artillery fire was constantly roaring, leading all his men to the ambush site.

After losing contact with the command vehicle, the armored units of the 9th Brigade were forced to operate independently, engaging in fierce firefights with the Red Army tanks while retreating.

Deputy Brigade Commander Meng Xiaohai knew he was to blame for his poor command and was willing to bear the infamy of being a defeated general. He sternly refused Lan Zhiguang's offer to send reinforcements.

The tide of battle turned dramatically in an instant, and the Blue Army's armored units began to rout and retreat from the battlefield...

On the winding and rugged canyon road, a main battle tank that had broken away from the formation drove in from a distance.

Without the aid of a radio system, main battle tanks can only slowly advance by feeling their way forward with the limited field of vision of a periscope.

The high ground on both sides of the mountain road is covered with lush green trees, making it an ideal spot for an ambush.

Sniper rifles are also known as small long-range artillery.

Within its effective range, a small sniper bullet can often create unexpected and amazing effects.

Every red blood cell is a sharpshooter; if they are not properly utilized to create a miracle in war, it would be a disservice to the sniper rifles in their hands.

Zhang Beixing had thought of this, so he immediately ordered the abandonment of heavy weapons and led the entire team to prepare for a tank sniper battle.

A tank is worth 100 points in the exercise, why not take advantage of it?
The four members of the Red Cell team, dressed in ghillie suits, split into two groups: Zhang Beixing and Song Kaifei in one group, and He Chenguang and Xu Tianlong in the other, who lay in ambush on the high ground on both sides.

"Hey ho, not bad luck, here comes a tank! Captain, weren't you going to take down a tank? Here's your chance!"

Song Kaifei looked at Zhang Beixing with disbelief and said, "I just don't believe it, a sniper rifle can take down a tank?"

Zhang Beixing rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself, "Why is this kid so eager to be taught a lesson?"
However, Zhang Beixing was too lazy to pay attention to him at this moment. Seeing a tank pass by underneath, he immediately shouted: "On your positions, let's practice with it first."

"receive!!"

He Chenguang and Xu Tianlong, who were on the opposite hillside, replied in unison.

On the steep mountain road, the tank tracks rumbled with a loud clatter as the steel rubbed against each other, swaying and rolling over the ground, leaving behind a trail of gravel and mud.

Inside the tank's armor, driver Yu Dalei, under Niu Nuli's command, slowly drove along the mountain road.

With a limited field of view from the periscope, Zhang Nengliang had no choice but to manipulate the cannon's eyepiece, constantly moving it left and right to find the direction of advance.

Niu Nuli stared at the monitor, his brows furrowing inexplicably as he muttered to himself.

"Why did you drive up this slope? If someone is lying in ambush here, we won't be able to escape."

Zhang Nengliang turned to look at Niu Nuli and asked, "Then what do we do? Should we back out?"

“No, it’s too late.” Niu shook his head. “There are Red Army troops everywhere outside. Going out would be like walking into a trap. Let’s just grit our teeth and go. Once we get past here, we’ll be fine.”

After a moment of silence, Zhang Nengliang suddenly suggested, "How about we have a shot?"

Niu frowned: "Want to have a shot?"

“Yes, think about it…” Zhang Nengliang said eloquently, “If someone is blown out, even if we miss, it’ll scare them. With artillery fire raging outside, if we fire a shell here, the Red Army won’t be able to spot us.” (End of Chapter)
