You are ordered to support the War of Resistance against Japan; China enters Level 1 combat readines

Ding Zhijian never expected that Shen Wang would summon a tank!

That's a tank!

The entire Eighth Route Army... didn't have a single one!

Who exactly is this Mr. Shen?

Not only Ding Zhijian, but also Meng Guanglin and Sha Zhenjiang were filled with turmoil!

Just then, the hatch of the tank in front of them opened, and a "soldier" wearing desert camouflage uniforms they had never seen before jumped down nimbly.

The "soldier" didn't even glance at the three men, walked straight to the dark green Mengshi assault vehicle, and then, to their astonishment, drove the Mengshi and disappeared in another direction.

This series of actions was so fluid and seamless that Ding Zhijian and the other two were dumbfounded.

"Mr. Shen... this..."

Ding Zhijian and the other two didn't know what to say.

That guy who just got off the tank was so cool!

Especially that outfit!

That looks fierce!

Shen Wang smiled, offering no further explanation, patted the armor of the 99A, and said:

"Don't just stand there, get in the car!"

Get on the bus?

Should we get on this huge thing?

Is it really... possible?

Suppressing the turmoil in their hearts, the three followed Shen Wang toward the tank with an almost reverent feeling.

However, when Shen Wang opened the 99A cabin door, he was embarrassed to find that the two 99As could only carry three people!

Driver, gunner, and commander.

Fully automatic loading, no loader required.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat tense.

Four people, three seats?

This……

Behind Shen Wang, Ding Zhijian and the other two exchanged glances.

"Mr. Shen, we can squeeze in."

"Yes, this thing is so big, we can all squeeze in and sit down."

The three quickly offered Shen Wang a way out.

"Ahem," Shen Wangqing cleared his throat, trying to cover up his embarrassment.

"Then I'll have to trouble you."

"I'm not wronged, I'm not wronged!"

The three of them quickly waved their hands.

This wasn't just politeness; the three of them genuinely felt they weren't wronged.

That's a tank!

What's there to feel wronged about!

At that moment, Shen Wang suddenly thought of a question and asked, "By the way, does anyone here know how to drive?"

drive?

The three exchanged a glance, then Sha Zhenjiang quickly raised his hand: "Brother Shen, I know how!"

Shen Wang was taken aback. He really hadn't expected that Sha Zhenjiang, the youngest of the three, would be able to drive.

Seeing that Shen Wang seemed somewhat surprised, Sha Zhenjiang, fearing that he wouldn't believe him, hurriedly explained, "Brother Shen, I really do know how!"

"My cover identity in Beiping was as a driver for an official in the transportation department of the puppet government. I've been driving for almost two years now, and I know all kinds of cars and trucks well!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Zhijian, who was standing to the side, frowned almost imperceptibly and subconsciously wanted to speak up to stop him.

The discipline of remaining hidden is deeply ingrained; one's true identity is a top secret, and should not be easily revealed even to one's savior.

But as soon as his lips moved, his gaze swept over the tank beside him, and then he saw Shen Wang's calm and composed eyes, and the words that were about to come out were swallowed back.

The methods Mr. Shen has demonstrated have long exceeded the scope of common sense.

Perhaps... extraordinary people deserve extraordinary treatment.

Shen Wang noticed Ding Zhijian's fleeting hesitation, understood what he meant, but didn't care.

Those who work underground would have died countless times if they didn't have this kind of vigilance.

"Okay, okay, it's not that I don't believe you."

Shen Wang raised his hand, gently interrupting Sha Zhenjiang's eagerness to prove himself.

"Since you can drive, that makes things easier. Come on, squeeze into the driver's seat with me, and I'll teach you how to drive a tank!"

"Drive...drive a tank?"

Sha Zhenjiang's eyes widened instantly, and his voice rose several decibels.

"Brother Shen, I...Is I really capable? This is a tank!"

Remove the word "吗" (ma).

Shen Wang patted Sha Zhenjiang on the shoulder, then remembered that this was Sha Ruijin's uncle, so he patted him a few more times.

"The principles are pretty much the same. If you can drive a car, you can basically drive a tank! As for the rest, I'll sit next to you and guide you. I guarantee you'll be able to get the hang of it in no time!"

The reason he dared to make such a guarantee was naturally due to the confidence he gained from the [Vehicle Driving Mastery] skill, which naturally included tank driving skills.

The reason Shen Wang wanted someone else to drive was because he was preparing to fire the cannon himself.

The 125mm smoothbore cannon on the roof of the vehicle can't just be a decoration, can it?

Don't forget, he previously acquired artillery skills; he knows all the cannons up to 150mm in caliber!

The 125mm smoothbore cannon is no exception!

It is foreseeable that the journey ahead will not be peaceful; it will be filled with encirclement, interception, and numerous checkpoints.

Shen Wang didn't want to just passively take hits. Although the Type 99A's armor was fearless against all of the Japanese land-based weapons of this era, taking a hit was still a painful experience.

At the same time, Shen Wang also wanted to personally kill a few more Japanese soldiers.

Those are all military merit points!

"Brother Shen... Brother Shen, how... how do we do it?"

Inside the car, Sha Zhenjiang appeared somewhat reserved, unsure of what to do with his hands.

Not only Sha Zhenjiang, but Ding and Meng, who were sitting in the back positions as commander and gunner, were also very reserved.

The car was filled with all sorts of instruments and dials I'd never seen before.

I was afraid that I might accidentally break one of them.

In fact, it wasn't just them; Shen Wang was equally excited!

This is a 99A!

To put it in a more fantastical way, this is like a terrestrial deity!

"Cough cough,"

Shen Wang took a deep breath.

"Everyone, don't be nervous, relax, and sit tight!"

After saying that, he pressed the start button.

Om-! ! !

The roar of the engine instantly filled the entire cabin, accompanied by a slight vibration.

Sha Zhenjiang and the other two felt a jolt.

So exciting!

Inside the driver's cab, Shen Wang began his tank driving instruction.

"Comrade Sha Zhenjiang, take a good look."

Sha Zhenjiang scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly:

"Brother Shen, you can just call me Xiao Sha."

"Oh, well... Little Sha, watch carefully..."

Shen Wang pointed to several main control devices: "This is the main joystick, which controls direction and speed. Pushing it forward accelerates, pulling it back decelerates, and swinging it left or right controls steering..."

"These two are the left and right gear levers, used for precise control in complex terrain... Under your feet, the left one is the clutch, and the right one is the accelerator and brake..."

Shen Wang explained as concisely and clearly as possible, while Sha Zhenjiang listened intently with wide eyes.

"Brother Shen, you're amazing! You can even drive a tank!"

Shen Wang smiled.

If Sha Zhenjiang calls him "Big Brother," then what should Sha Ruijin call him?

"Don't get distracted, look carefully!"

"Oh, I'm sorry, Brother Shen..."

Sha Zhenjiang refocused his attention!

He probably didn't even realize that this tank training would completely change his destiny...

……

Meanwhile, southwest of Beiping, at the pass of Fang County.

A Japanese army unit is busily constructing fortifications.

This was clearly a full-strength anti-tank brigade.

More than a thousand animals!

Besides the crossfire network formed by a dozen or so light and heavy machine guns, the most eye-catching thing was—

These are three Type 94 37mm anti-tank guns positioned on a high vantage point!
