Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

"Platoon leader, our vision is poor and we can't see who is on the other side! What if it's the Japs? They must have discovered us and are coming towards us!"

The driver had already put his finger on the ignition switch. As long as Zhu Zhaolan gave the order, he could start the tank and attack at any time.

The ammunition handler also held the shell in his arms, waiting for orders. He could load the shell into the barrel at any time.

"Damn it, it's too far away, we can't see who it is, but by the time we can see clearly, the Japs have already reached us!"

Zhu Zhaolan slapped his thigh hard, then picked up the intercom and shouted softly: "Everyone, pay attention, reload, and wait for my order to fire. As long as we fire, this place will be exposed. All tanks should leave here as quickly as possible. As for where to go, I don't know. Everyone, just leave it to fate. If you can send the information back to the headquarters, it would be the best!"

After saying that, he pressed his hand down.

The ammunition operator understood what he was doing and quickly stuffed the shell into the barrel. The other two tanks were ready at almost the same time.

"and many more!"

Just as Zhu Zhaolan was about to give the order to fire, he suddenly shouted, then rubbed his eyes and looked carefully.

"Oh my god, it's the young marshal, it's the young marshal, comrades, it's the young marshal who has brought people to rescue us!"

After saying that, he opened the top cover, stuck his head out, and kept waving his hands at Xu Le.

If it were someone else, they would definitely not be able to see the person clearly at this distance, but he and Xu Le grew up together, and he was very familiar with this figure.

"Young Marshal, it is indeed Platoon Leader Zhu and his men!"

Xu Da pointed at the cheering Zhu Zhaolan and shouted softly, a smile appearing on his face. They had been away from the headquarters for a few days and had suffered a lot in order to find this guy.

However, what Xu Le cared about at the moment was not Zhu Zhaolan's three tanks. He discovered another change.

That is, Xu Da actually smiled, and he could see that it was a smile from the heart.

Although Xu Da was the one he had the most contact with and evolved the fastest, with all kinds of emotions being perfected, he had never seen Xu Da laugh in all this time.

He also asked Xu Da why he couldn't laugh?

Xu Da said that he seemed to have laughed in his memory, but when he really wanted to laugh, he just couldn't make any expression on his face, as if there was some force stopping him from laughing.

With confusion, Xu Le looked at Xu Jiu and others, and found that they were also full of laughter, just like normal humans.

They have changed. The 10 guard members including Xu Da have completely changed and become real human beings.

This is what Xu Le is absolutely certain of at this moment.

But now is not the time to think about this, he ordered: "This guy really knows how to choose a location, this swamp is full of dangers, and it is covered with fog. If you don't look closely, you really can't see that there are three tanks hidden in it.

Xu Da, go up and find a way out, we'll get through!"

You can't just enter a swamp. If you accidentally step into the mud, you'll be in trouble.

A few minutes later, Zhu Zhaolan jumped off the tank and threw himself into Xu Le's arms.

"Brother, you are finally here. I thought I was dead! I thought I would never see you and my parents again in this life..."

Zhu Zhaolan cried like a little child, with tears and snot, and wiped his nose with Xu Le's clothes from time to time. He looked so miserable.

Gugu...

Hearing the growling sound from Zhu Zhaolan's stomach, Xu Le couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then took out a few pieces of beef jerky from his arms: "Okay, you're such a grown-up, why are you still acting like a child? You must be starving, eat something first."

The rest of the escort team also distributed the prepared beef jerky and water to the soldiers in the tank platoons.

But no one started eating immediately. They all looked at Xu Le and Zhu Zhaolan with wide eyes.

"Um, did I hear it wrongly? Why did I hear the platoon leader calling him handsome?"

"You heard it too? I thought I heard it wrong!"

"No way, I heard it too. Could it be that the young marshal is our platoon leader's brother?"

"It's probably true, but I don't know if he's my biological brother, my cousin, or something like that!"

"Young Marshal is an only child, I know that, they should be cousins!"

.....

Listening to the soldiers' discussions, Xu Le nodded with satisfaction; "It seems that you did not reveal the relationship between you and me. Good job, well done!"

Zhu Zhaolan only then realized that he hadn't eaten for three days, and he hurriedly began to wolf down the food.

That is air-dried beef jerky, which is very nutritious. Eating a few pieces is equivalent to a day's consumption. It is also one of the standard rations for the soldiers of the 176th Division during marches.

Of course, the troops were not so wealthy that it was impossible for everyone to carry a bunch of beef jerky. The main reason was that there was not that much beef. Apart from that, there were only compressed dry rations.

"Hehe, I want to become a general through my own efforts. I won't use your connections to get promoted!"

"Now that they know about it, how are you going to get along with each other in the future?"

Zhu Zhaolan finished eating the beef jerky and rubbed his stomach with satisfaction. Then he remembered something important: "Oh, brother, let's not talk about this for now. I may have discovered the devil's secret base..."

He told Xu Le in detail what had happened in the previous few days, including everything he had seen in the tank during the past few days.

The commanders of the other two tanks were also added.

Xu Le frowned and said, "According to what you said, there should be a Japanese base nearby. I suspected before that the Majiazhai Iron Mine was used by the Japanese to confuse the world, and what they are actually protecting are other things!"

Zhu Zhaolan: "I think so too. At the beginning, we had two tank battalions besieging Majiazhai. The charge of dozens of tanks should have been a decisive blow, but the Japanese had too many firepower points in the dark, and these Japanese seemed a little different.

They were fearless and launched several waves of suicide attacks to stop our tanks. Our platoon's tanks alone were charged more than three times on average.

But fortunately, our tanks' armor is thick enough, and only one tank's track was broken. It has been connected with a spare track, and the rest are fine!"

Xu Le: "The Type 59 tank is indeed powerful, but the tracks are the Achilles' heel of all tanks. Once they are blown off, they will be unable to move for a short period of time. By the way, how much ammunition do you have left in your tanks!"
