Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

After spending 44 summers in Baiyangdian, the special forces quietly left... When they left, the soldiers of the special forces learned how to fight in the water, how to use reed stalks and lotus leaves to move forward in the water, and how to hunt in the reed marsh. Even the Taoist priests who served as military doctors found many aquatic herbs in Baiyangdian...

In addition to the progress of the special operations team, the soldiers of the Second Regiment also learned basic skills such as rowing and swimming. Now, no one gets seasick, and they can even drive a small boat to swim freely on the Baiyangdian Lake, just like the comrades of the Yanling Team.

Of course, the comrades of the Yanling team also learned a lot of skills from the special operations team! For example, setting up booby traps, setting up traps, and killing with bare hands, etc. Of course, the comrades of the Yanling team also learned some shooting skills from the special operations team. Because of the support of Jizhong District, the special operations team got some training ammunition here, so they shared it with the Yanling team.

Similarly, the apprentices trained by the Taoist priests have also made great progress this summer. Now, there are 34 reliable barefoot doctors in these fortress villages around Baiyangdian.

Although these doctors cannot perform major surgeries, they can accurately diagnose and prescribe medicine for basic injuries, headaches, fevers, colds, and minor ailments. Although sometimes they will open the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" to find the right disease for the symptoms, they can still treat the people.

Unlike when they came, the special forces team that left Baiyangdian was no longer all walking, but had many more carts and bicycles in the team. The carts were provided by the military sub-district, and the bicycles were captured after the Yanling team attacked a large enemy stronghold. In addition, there were 5 war horses of different colors, which now became the mounts of the special forces team.

According to Tianchuan and his team's agreement, since they were going to disguise themselves as beards, they had to have war horses. Even riding a mule was better than walking. So in the next period of time, they would collect some war horses and incorporate them into the team. Of course, the best place to get war horses was the grassland outside the Great Wall, but seizing them from the Japanese was also a good choice.

Riding a war horse, holding a submachine gun and an assault rifle in his hands, his combat effectiveness is amazing!
The special forces' movements were erratic, and the only person who could roughly know their route was Li Yuexuan himself! The highest level that the special forces' radio could contact was the Ninth Division, but the most direct contact person was Li Yuexuan. Li Yuexuan's radio could bypass the division and contact Minister Zhang directly.

In fact, the telephone lines in Taihang District are already well laid, and Minister Zhang can already call Li Yuexuan. Minister Zhang represents the headquarters, and the special operations team's actions are naturally reported to the headquarters, so if the military sub-district needs help, Li Yuexuan can pass on the message to the headquarters through Minister Zhang, and let the headquarters contact the military sub-district at the destination to notify.

It was during this period of telephone calls that Li Yuexuan learned something that no one else knew.

In a hidden ravine in northern Shaanxi, dozens of newly-launched tanks are undergoing rumbling training.

Although it was a model that was eliminated by the Russians, all the officers and soldiers who knew about it said that such tanks were very much needed. Amid the rumbling sound, the tanks were lined up in an arrow formation, gradually moving forward along the winding valley, and there were troop transport trucks following on the side.

Creak... After arriving at the destination, the tanks stopped, and the trucks also stopped. Everyone looked up. In front of them was a fairly flat terrain with grass and mounds. It was the training ground for today. "Okay, the infantry-tank coordinated training begins. Tank Company 1, advance in attack formation..." The commander's voice came from the tank's radio headset.

Then, the eight BT8 tanks drove forward, forming a line and moving forward steadily. Then, four strange creatures mixed into the tank formation and formed a line as well.

Why are they strange things? First look at two of them. You can tell at a glance that they are not tanks, but bulldozers modified with the chassis and armor of tanks. The bucket of the bulldozer is not small, and the entire bucket covers the front of the tank. Looking at the bucket shining with silver luster, it is clear that this bulldozer is often used!
Because it was converted into a bulldozer, the turret was not installed, but an anti-aircraft machine gun was installed on the roof. Of course, there is a baffle next to the machine gun, so it can be laid flat at any time.

The other two strange vehicles were smaller, also tracked vehicles, with a small trolley in front. However, the bulging body and the machine gun turret on the roof showed that it was an armored personnel carrier. While moving, the armor plate of the body was opened from the inside, revealing the black muzzle of the gun, which was facing the side of the armored vehicle.

After 12 tanks, bulldozers, and armored personnel carriers drove forward 50 meters, two trucks followed, but the trucks were also equipped with bulletproof shields on the front of the vehicle, and there was also a heavy machine gun on the top of the front of the truck. On the Douzi side, there was a platform with a circle of bulletproof shields, and on the platform were some soldiers following the vehicle, responsible for operating the heavy machine guns and shooting at the surroundings.

While the two trucks were catching up, the soldiers who had already jumped off the troop transport trucks formed attack teams according to classes behind the 12 vehicles and moved forward with the vehicles.

This was not a big deal, because just after the team moved forward more than 200 meters, another three trucks followed behind, but these trucks were not equipped with other weapons, they just carried some soldiers.

Of course, this is only from the outside, because in the cargo box of these trucks, there is a double-mounted 12mm heavy mortar. Therefore, the soldiers sitting in the trucks are naturally the heavy mortar artillerymen.

This truck should be called a self-propelled 120mm mortar truck, because the truck can stop at any time, and then deploy the mortar on the spot to bomb the enemy targets. If an experienced person sees this truck, he will tell where it comes from - it is a replica of the M4 self-propelled mortar of the Russian bear.

Of course, this is a scaled-down version. The M4 has four 120 mortar launch tubes, but this one only has two. So, is it called the M2 self-propelled mortar?
Well, no matter what it is called, an armored assault company, an infantry company, and a self-propelled mortar convoy with firepower equivalent to that of a medium platoon company, formed the first wave of attack. (End of this chapter)
